Pulse Induction Metal Detectors

Pulse Induction (PI) metal detectors use a method called pulse induction to detect metals. They operate by sending short, powerful bursts of electrical current through a coil, creating a magnetic pulse. When this pulse interacts with metal objects, it induces a secondary magnetic field that the detector’s receiver coil picks up. The system measures the time it takes for the magnetic pulse to dissipate, which varies depending on the type and size of the metal. PI detectors are highly effective in highly mineralized soils and are often used in deep-sea diving, treasure hunting, and detecting metal in challenging environments.
