All metal mode

Hi William
In short no it wont. A VLF machine uses frequency domain analysis and a PI uses time domain analysis to detect and differentiate targets. VLF machines use just that Very Low Frequencies which is generally 30Khz and lower. PI on the other hand use a much wider band of frequencies. Also in general when you switch to all metal mode on your VLF you are using nil discrimination... so you will detect anything metal. PI machines also can discriminate.
Hope this answers your question

I see you are not familiar with the jargon, so, yes, "all metal" operates [to you] similar to the average PI. It detects all metals. It is just a completely different beast and other than both hitting all meatls in general, are not similar in electronics..

On your radio you have AM and FM. Both play music and news and operate pretty much the same as far as the listener is concerned.
But, electronically, they operate very differently and each has certain advantages and disadvantages in certain circumstances.

PI detectors and VLF detectors set in A.M. mode operate in much the same way for the user but they will not produce the same results
in all circumstances due to the differences (electronically) in the way they do what they do.
