Pulse 8 - Hand Held Detector



With a 200 foot depth rated housing and a 6 foot maximum detection range, the Pulse 8X is the top of the line detector.  It's heavy duty construction and high sensitivity make the Pulse 8X the choice of professionals everywhere.   This commercial-grade metal detector is used by treasure hunters, commercial diving companies, law enforcement agencies, and military units worldwide. 
Diver with Pulse 8X and Spanish coinsThe claim-to-fame of this pulse induction detector is it's ability to ignore minerals in the environment while maintaining high sensitivity to all metal targets.  It is not affected by highly mineralized salt water, coral, rocks with a high iron content, or magnetic (black) sand; all of which drive conventional metal detectors crazy.  The Pulse 8X detects all metals from coins and jewelry, to anchors and cannons; and does it on land, or in fresh or salt water. The diver is alerted to presence of a metal target by both visual readout (shown on the meter) and an audio output (heard in the underwater earphone). The detection range for a target is unaffected by the medium between the detector's coil and the metal object. Performance does not vary whether detecting through air, water, silt, sand, or solid coral. 


The Pulse 8X comes with all the accessories needed to use the detector on land or dive to depths of over 200 feet.  The standard package includes a corrosion proof PVC handle for underwater use, an anodized aluminum handle for land use, underwater and land headphones. The package also includes AC and DC battery chargers, a hip-mount kit for the electronics housing, rugged Cordura carry bag, spare parts kit, and JW FishersSearch Team hat.
Powered by an internal 9 volt rechargeable battery pack, the detector will easily run all day on a full charge.   Recharge the battery overnight, and it's ready for another full day of hunting.
A complete line of interchangeable coils are available which gives this detector tremendous versatility.  Two of the coils can be deployed from a boat; the operator can be topside with the electronics unit, and have a coil on the bottom searching for metal. See below for additional options.


                                                                                    
The Pulse 8X has double the power and detection range of the Pulse 6X detector.


Key Features of the Pulse 8X:
Commercial grade construction, full meter readout, audio jack with detachable earphones, rechargeable batteries, and optional interchangeable coils. The variety of different coil sizes available allow this detector to be used on land, underwater, or deployed from a boat.
The Pulse 8X is backed by manufactures exclusive, unconditional TWO YEAR warranty.

Boat Towed Metal Detectors:


Proton 4:
A professional marine magnetometer in use by Army Corp of Engineers, Navy, commercial diving companies, and wreck hunters worldwide.  Extremely sensitive detector for ferrous (iron/steel) metal targets. Easy to tow even at high speed. Ideal for any size search area. Visual and audio target indicators.  Backlit LCD display for night operations. Optional Tracker software shows path of the boat as it moves over the search area.  Also displays and stores mag readouts and position coordinates.  Almost every major old wreck found over the past 40 years has been located with a Proton mag including Mel Fisher's "ATOCHA". 



The Proton 4 is the ultimate detector for iron and steel targets.  It has a one gamma sensitivity, which is the maximum practical sensitivity for a towed magnetometer. It's maximum range capability of 1500 feet on each side (3000 foot total swath) lets you search a wide area quickly and completely.  The mag is also a good choice to locate a variety of smaller targets such as pipelines, anchors, chains, cannons, dredge heads, etc.  It is especially useful when objects are buried in the bottom and can't be found with sonar or video search systems.  The detection range is unaffected by the medium between the magnetometer and the metal target.  Performance does not change whether detecting through air, water, silt, sand, or solid coral.  It's extremely large detection area make this magnetometer the ideal choice for both commercial operations and professional wreck hunters.  The Proton 4 is in use by military units, law   enforcement agencies, and commercial diving companies world wide.

This high performance marine magnetometer is ruggedly built and easy to operate.  The topside console has both audio and visual alarms for target detection.  Connect a GPS and position coordinates can be captured with the mag readout data on a built-in printer.  The control box has an adjustable sensitivity switch that lets the operator select maximum sensitivity for open water searches or a lower sensitivity setting to work in rivers or harbors where steel structures may be nearby.   A cycle time switch lets the operator choose a 2, 3, or 4 second cycle time.  Selecting a longer time is helpful when working in an area with a weak magnetic field.  An adjustable audio alarm lets the operator decide how much of a change in the baseline reading will cause the alarm to fire. When searching for small targets, low alarm settings alert the operator to small changes in the readout.  Higher alarm settings cause the alarm to fire only when a significant ferrous metal object is detected.



Optional Tracker software shows the path of the boat as it moves over the search area along with a cascading waterfall of the mag readouts and the GPS position associated with each readout.  When a target is detected, the readouts and coordinates change color so the operator can quickly see when and where a target is detected.  At the bottom left of the screen is a graphical representation of the last 5 minutes of mag readouts.  When a target is detected a spike or deep V is drawn on the graph.   In addition to the mag and GPS data, other information displayed are the boat's speed, compass heading, and the sensitivity setting selected by the operator.
The system includes the towfish, 150 feet of cable, and a top-side control unit. The control unit features easy to read LCD display, audio alarm, and variable sensitivity switch (for pinpointing targets). An optional built-in printer is available which gives hard copy of mag readouts and Loran or GPS position. Options include 300 foot tow cable, UA-2 altimeter, RS232 data output, GPS interface, data collection and storage software; 500 and 1000' depth rated versions are also available.  The complete system is powered by two 12 volt batteries with a total power consumption of only 40 watts.


Key Features of the Proton 4:
Commercial grade construction, extremely large detection range, faster towing speeds than Pulse systems, and ability to make a permanent record of mag readouts with position coordinates.

The Proton 4 is backed by manufactures exclusive, unconditional TWO YEAR warranty.
