There is excitement in the air concerning Pulse Induction (PI) metal detectors. It is said that a revolutionary model is regarding to be freed by various manufacturers. The main characteristic of PI detectors is their capacity to ignore both conductive and non-conductive mineralization in the surroundings at the same time, while preserving high sensitivity to all metal targets. Another positive feature is their detection range is not affected by the medium amongst the coil and the target. Performance for the most share is not hindered by water, sand, silt, solid coral and in general speaking, the air. Some PI's I have applied do not go as deep to locate a target in the air as they do for submerged or buried targets. I dug a 1957 Roosevelt dime at eighteen inches with my Fisher Impulse. It took more than forty minutes to retrieve that coin in the shoal water at Sunset Beach in Tarpon Springs, FL and that is a necessary reason I do not use PI's for coin shooting. Another reason is the uttermost sensitivity to all metal targets will mean digging with regards to thirty junk items for each good target in most coin shooting environments. You will in a literal sense plow a field before you finish covering the ground. In doing a comparative test last year, I dug closely 300 junk items and retrieved only nine coins and three jewelry keepsakes. A third negative aspect of most PI's is the difficultness of pinpointing targets. Pinpointing with a PI is a learned art. Most conventional detectors either the center of the coil or a pinpointing button or switch makes for an easy retrieval of finds. One PI I own the target centering point is to the left side of center and is very difficult to zero in on little targets. My necessary uses for PI's are gold prospecting, Civil War relic hunting and bottle digging ventures. They go very deep! I have dug shotgun casings at almost two feet, nails at fifteen inches and as cited above a dime at eighteen inches. Here is my positive thought for using a PI for relic hunting. The P in Pulse Induction stands "Power"! I feel empowered when hunting fields and woods for relics and an occasional coin is a great bonus. However, as a coin-shooter the P stands for punishment in most of my environments. I cannot use one in hunting a burned-out property lot, or on a sports bleacher area or on a ball diamond to name a few areas where a traditionalisti detector with a little three to five inch coil will fabricate far more outstanding rewards and not destruct the back or shoulders. I have listed some of the PI's out there now and they are worth the time to go online and compare their specs and prices. Every severe treasure finder needs to have one as a share of their detecting arsenal. You might want to wait though and see what is coming soon before spending some severe cash. I can not wait! Bring on those new PI's.
