Still trying to translate this "almost dead" into a meaningful assessment.

Thanks greylourie.

It would be interesting to know what were the test samples in comparison between Recon and TDI.

Yes, it would be interesting. Maybe Carl-NC will elaborate.

I didn't do much testing with it. The Recon comes with a stainless firing pin target embedded in the end of a plastic stick. I tested the Recon with this target and it barely detects it, and so did the TDI. The TDI may have been a hair weaker. I don't recall any other results.

Here's some user info on the Recon by Steve H and Paul(CA). Both of these guys are respected MD'ers. http://www.detectingequipment.com/index.php?id=2081
