Understanding VLF vs PI detectors
Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Pulse Induction (PI) metal detectors each bring unique strengths to the field of treasure hunting and metal detection. VLF detectors excel in their ability to distinguish between different types of metals, making them ideal for less challenging environments and detailed searches where precision is key. On the other hand, PI systems offer superior performance in highly mineralized soils and under water, penetrating deeper into the ground and handling conditions that typically disrupt VLF devices. Each technology caters to specific detection needs, whether it’s unearthing small coins and relics near the surface or pursuing larger treasures buried deep underground.
