Richard of Backwoods Detectors came thru shining for me. I purchased a TDI from him and it is one fine machine. I am charging the batteries and will be heading to Gold Basin tomorrow. We are having unseasonably cool weather so I will be taking advantage of it. There was a hic up with the price but he owned up to it so we went ahead now I gave my word to make up some of the difference with a find and that I will do barring dieing in the hot Mojave desert sun. Richard is aces with me all the way. I know he was a good guy from the get go anyway.
