Questions about Fisher Impulse....

[Anonymous]

Has anybody used one for relic hunting in mineralized ground where VLF's can't penetrate? I realize no disc., but am interested in penetration thru red shale type dirt..If you have experience or some thoughts on it, post it up or e-mail me direct.....Thanks for any info...Dave

is not likely to work very well for that purpose. PI's that weren't designed specifically to work in the red stuff, usually don't do very well in it. Since beaches and underwater environments rarely have the red stuff, most underwater PI's are not designed to handle it.
If you know someone who owns an Impulse maybe you could borrow it and try it out.

You must be right, I haven't heard from anyone using an Impulse for dry land relics..I saw the Impulse on E-bay and it just reminded me of my desire to try a P.I. detector in some of my bad ground areas..Actually I have too many irons in the fire right now and probably should turn loose a few detectors, so I could give a more suitable P.I. a try..I know there are dry land PI's for gold hunting, but are there any models designed with relic hunters in mind??......Thanks ....Dave

Not aware of any any models designed with relic hunting small stuff in mind, although the Minelab SD's could be used for that. For cache locating and large deep relics there are a variety of machines; however as far as I know, they're not designed to work well in the "red stuff".
Garrett's new Infinium might be good, but it's still a bit of an unknown at this point.
