Hooray, Package landed on my doorstep today. Ronnie did a great job of packaging for shipment. This TDI is better than I had ever hoped for. :perfect: :Y: :)

Transaction complete via a surrogate PayPal member. :beer: :) Thanks to all. Now waiting on a slow boat :8

First, stick with the Minelabs. Next, there is a definite learning curve with each machine, the more $ for the machine the more options in adjustments to soil conditions etc. Buy from a reputable dealer that will give you some training time in the field. If they won't, find another dealer. As a...

I'm not sure about a transfer straight to your account? Check with your bank and ask what is possible... I've never had any trouble with Int. Post, I got my Sovereign and a big coil from GB that route. Tracking and insurance is good. And you're right I'll PM you. Thanks Don :Y:

Pinfire , thank you I'm not very techie but I'll check it out. Ronnie, Thank you, funds are in my PayPal account, just need you to provide an account to receive them. It's funny, you're on Sunday I'm still on Saturday so banks are a couple days out. Cheers, Don

1. I've done business from Canada, Great Britain and Germany all through PayPal quickly without incident so now the transfer of funds is the sticky item. 2. Insurance is a good idea, send UPS or Fed Ex so the in house carrier is responsible. Whites Electronics is only 1100km away if I need the...

Ronnie, I'm still interested. Do you have a PayPal account? They do the exchange and the funds transfer quickly. Thx

I've been using metal detectors for about the last 15+ years, mostly for hobby and fun. In the mid 70's and 80's I spent time in Alaska and got the gold fever but didn't follow that path. Career and life's responsibilities took precedents. Now retired and positioning to get back in the game of...

Thanks to all, especially Reg. This entire topic has been a great education for me. It's great to hear seasoned veterans give fair and unbiased summations on their equipment so the rest of us 'on the fence' about buying gear will have some line of reference.

Thanks Ian, Good news. The QED has yet to make an appearance here in the USA so our familiarity to it is somewhat limited. With that said how would you compare the performance personality/capability with the other PI's, I'm sure it has a niche market.

I've been on the fence about a GP 3500. Can anyone give me an approximate size of a nugget that would be detectable with an 11" DD coil?

Does the QED have a sufficient coil selection? Minelabs have a wide range of coils available both in house and after market. The TDI was produced with the intent that the coils which mate to the SD/GPX series could be useable. The compatibility of these coils to the TDI is somewhat sketchy and...

Ronnie, Would you be capable of shipping to the USA? No batteries, no big coil. I do not see a means to PM you. Thx
