[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 269522, member: 1695"] The TRX is definitely the more sensitive of the two. I don't have a small nugget to try out, instead I ran a small lead .22 projectile tip first up to the end of the pinpointer, the TRX starts clicking over at around 4cms, whereas it will need to be within a cm of the Garrett's tip to register - both on sensitivity setting 3. Although that sounds good on the part of the TRX, in the real world many ground conditions will dictate the use of sensitivity setting 2 on the TRX to prevent unwanted falsing, and this in turn brings the detection distance to the projectile down to 1-1.5cms, which is pretty close to the Garrett unit. On the upside, at least the TRX has the option of higher sensitivity settings if ground conditions allow it. If Whites were to install a brighter LED and improve the volume output of the TRX, it would be a much better pinpointer. The Garrett Carrot is streets ahead in both respects if those features are important to the user.
