The Teknetics pinpointer is a pulse Induction unit.
As the Sphinx has Iron reject so I'd assume that it uses VLF technology which makes it better on small/tiny targets.
Given the above, the Teknetics will have greater depth of detection

I based my answer on this review https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23289-the-sphinx-03-the-best-pinpointer-you’ll-never-own/ which suggests it has iron discrimination.

Do you have a link to the manufacturers specifications? Just found this link https://www.sphinx-md.ru/catalog/Пинпоинтер-1.html but it isn't much help as I can't read Russian
