    New Nokta PI

    Oldbeechnut most likely ... he seems to know just about everyone who is detecting in the water. He did some temperature measurements on various parts of the case. I have not had an issue with electronics failures even with hunts were it is in the high 90s and I keep to the wet sand because of...

    New Nokta PI

    Get into some really highly mineralized dirt and a PI might be the only way to get good depth. Thinking of Culpeper, Virginia and similar soil conditions. In the water I have experienced a PI opening up a whole new world of targets because of depth. One trip in particular was very memorable in...

    New Nokta PI

    I don't have volume information, yet it appears a lot more PI's are sold for nugget hunting than for beach hunting. Garrett discontinued their beach PI. I've got two of the Fisher Impulse AQ LTD's. Fisher seemed to have difficulty selling the last of the first small batch they made and it has...

    New Nokta PI

    Nugget version is supposed to be in field testing with the relic version to follow. That seems to have been the status for at least six months with no pending release date. Should it actually be released, I'll wait for some reports on how it performs in salt water, wet salt sand and highly...

    Anyone have this PI or knows someone who has one or has used?

    There is an entire ATX section on findmall here: https://www.findmall.com/forums/new-garrett-atx-metal-detector.36/ Take a look there and see if some of the information you are looking for is there. Many have used it in the water and on the beach.

    Chairs & Water

    If you are looking that way, might try a snorkel in very shallow water first to see how it all feels for you.

    Chairs & Water

    The days with small waves and long period between waves are helpful too.

    Chairs & Water

    I have seen these on the beach: https://www.accessrec.com/pvc-beach-wheel-chairs Plastic, so will not interfere with the detector trying to search for targets ... not sure how one might maneuver one by yourself. Possibly could motorize one with battery and motor mounted high in the back frame...

    Beach Sweeper

    Ad says it goes four inches deep but the video looks more like two inches. Once the tide covers the day's drops much of the heavier rings can sink deeper than that and the sweeper is not cleaning up anything in the water ... which is where I do most of my beach detecting. Note how it is not...

    Guess who left old batteries too long in their Nokta Impact?

    I use either lemon juice or vinegar on corroded alkaline battery terminals. Then clean up with distilled water. Picketwire is correct for alkaline batteries. Baking soda is for lead acid battery terminal clean up.

    I'd set it up with AA batteries rather than 9 volts. Batteries will cost a lot less that way. Although the manual says it uses one 9 volt battery per side. https://www.colonialmetaldetectors.com/assets/images/Product_Manuals/Fisher_Products/CZ-7a_Manual_english.pdf

    For the coil hardware; get some nylon hardware at a hardware store. The picture looks like a battery box is there. Is it just a cover missing? Should be able to test it without the covers.

    Anyone else??

    Reminds me a bit about the couple of times I've been detecting a crowded beach and someone would throw a coin somewhat in front of the direction I've been moving to see it I get it.

    Has SMF reached the depth of P.I. detectors like the Infinium and Seahunter?

    Would like to see a pulse width adjustment added to the AQ so that the bigger pieces of gold can be lit up more. Great videos by the way!
