Myers Depot Metal Detectors

PI test: Sand Shark, Dual Field, Headhunter Pulse and PI 1000 video comparison

I'm not a PI guy, but i'm enjoying all this discussion. It seems like one of the PI's hits deeper in the conditions portrayed in the video than others, but when in the hand of someone who has massive experience and local knowledge all of this may even out....
Just my 2 centavo opinion....
 
Heres the 10 1/2 inch coil.

So, what are your conclusions between the 8" and 10.5" coils on the SS? If you run tests like these, you should include your own conclusions. As a viewer, I couldn't tell the exact depth based on the angle/propsective you were taping at if the 10.5" coil was .5", 1", or greater in depth on your jewelry pieces than the 8" coil was.

Well the basic conclusion I had was that the smaller coil gave a better response to the small target and that the bigger coil was stronger on the larger targets. I'm happy with that. I might try and annotate the videos with what I saw as the depths. I really wasn’t sure what the camera was picking up for audio, so I didn’t want to be running my mouth an it not come through on the video.

The wifey wanted to mow the grass so it was a one take deal lol.

Making videos is a lot of work lol.

I was just being sarcastic...I don't have a bounty hunter. :lol: The White's classic are the best. I love my IDX-PRO....I sent it to White's for repairs and that baby is hot! Should last me another 10 years. :yes:

lol You just dont want the world to see my ole classic crush your poor ole bounty hunter! ;) :p :laughing:
 
You know what's funny, my Tejon beats my Infinium and all the other PIs in these videos in air tests... but once in the ground, the Tejon loses depth and PIs gain depth and blow the VLFs away, except on the earring backs/thin chains, which my Infinium cant even hear.
 
Infinium LS air test below. I called the max depth at an obvious beep, I was standing too far to hear the wavers/whispers in the threshold, but you can generally hear a waver/whisper an inch or 2 past the beep.

 
Yeah, I put the waterproof headphones on cause they are painfully loud, and hung them from the tripod. :D
 
So was I wrong?

OK, looks to me like the Infinium - at twice the price, is no deeper or more sensitive than the Sand Shark. Thanks for the video cofirmation. Of course, turning your pulse delay down that low in the surf won't actually be possible, unless you like a lot of beeping every time a wave washes over your coil or you move the coil too fast, but I'll be kind and just call it even. :cool:
 
I always run minimum pulse delay, even on the worst of ground, thanks to ground balancing.

If you don't see the difference between the machines on small gold, well... I don't even know what to say. :lol: The only target the Sand Shark even got close on, is the nickel.
 
OK

Seems like the 8" Sand Shark Coil was doing just as good or better when FBM tested the 0.4-gram hoop - or was I just imagining that? The other tests you did - even with the larger coil showed very little - if any difference in sensitivity or depth capabilities.

Like I said, thanks for showing the world that the Tesoro Sand Shark, can hold its own with machines at TWICE it's price! :cool:

You're either crazy, or blind... or both.

Anyone that isn't a Tesoro Nazi can see the truth.

Not gonna argue with you about it, the video says everything.

It has been all fun and games to this point, with hobbyists debating their favorite beach machines, stating their opinions and making some neat videos. However, you sir/madam just stepped way over the line.

How dare you refer to me as a “Nazi.” Crazy? Yes. Blind? Only in your opinion. But calling me a “Nazi?” I’m glad you are not standing in this room as I type this, or maybe I’m not.

I think about the several dozen Concentration Camp survivors that have been my patients in the past, seeing the tattooed numbers on their forearms when I took blood samples or put a pulse oximeter on them. I think about a lot of things when I hear the word “Nazi” whatever your name really is, but I don’t think about metal detectors.

I am as sad for you, as I am offended. I am going to forward this to Carol and Vlad, because people that throw words like “Nazi” around with such careless abandon, need some cold water thrown in their face, and a good tour of the Holocaust Museum.

No, I’m not Jewish, I’m Southern Baptist. I dare you to ever utter that word again with such abandon after talking to just one survivor of the Holocaust. My Grandfather died in a B-17 over Germany in 1944, whatever your real name is. You have hurt and offended me. I hope you enjoyed your flight..
