A practical question about VLF vs PI...

Guest
Has anyone gone back over beach areas with a PI after they or others had already worked it hard with a VLF machine? If so, what were your results?
Thanks

I have done this many times and so have most of the people on this forum. VLF machines cannot come close to the depth of the new "High Powered PI" machines being produced today...or stated another way "they do not come close to the depth." If it is possible for them to do so then I am sure one of the Name Brand Manufactures would do so and they have not.
When working with one of the new High Powered units you are digging targets at lower levels in the soil or sand than the VLF's can signal. However since PI units are not available that will give effective disc. and signal iron or null iron object you will be in a position to dig many targets you do not really want. However to be in this level of deeper digging, most of the people on this forum do not mind the price they have to pay for this pleasure.
This is my personal statement: "I personally believe that when accurate disc. abilities and iron ID'ing is totally solved by the intelligent minds that give input to this forum...when that day comes...VLF units will be "boat anchors." Frank Hamill
 
For example, the last message of Reg on Geotech Forum respond in part certain question about why a nail "erase" the signal in many many brands of detectors. Read all the messages.
