CPT_GhostLight Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I've been trying to find out if the MI-6 pinpointer is pulse induction or VLF. There is nothing specific in the manual except under the Technical Features section it says the MI-6's Detecting Frequency is 12 kHz, which makes me thing it is VLF. Am I wrong?

phrunt Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 VLF! It's a damn good pinpointer too, well the Mi-4 which I have is. I don't need any of that wireless connectivity mumbo jumbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unox Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Pulse Induction, there a very hardy Pin-Pointer I have 3 MI-6's. My oldest one is just shy of 5 years old. Edit: You know what maybe they are a VLF Pointer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I got from a good authority that it is Pulse Induction. 🙂 Love the wireless connection, so used to it now I don't mind it freaking out. 😀 Sometimes it doesn't connect off the bat, but it's so accurate and quick to assist digging deeper targets I forgive that too. I run mine on 50 sensitivity all the time. I've heard it change pitch with targets 6" deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unox Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I was always led to believe they were Pulse Induction as well F350, I did see similar to what Simon has posted when I done a quick search. It clearly says VLF there, but I am sure there a Pulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unox Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Just speaking to my mate who is a Dealer here in Australia, he said there definitely Pulse Induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I think before assuming it is Pulse you contact XP and ask, I'm confident it's not. 12 kHz is a giveaway, the most popular VLF frequency there is for pinpointers. I think it may get confused as it has Pitch and Pulse Audio 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogliuga Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I’ve heard great things about the MI6. I’ve never owned a XP pinpointer, now I have a classic Propointer AT which I don’t like...bought it because of the orange colour but next one will be a pulse pinpointer for sure.

Tom Slick Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 The Fisher F-Pulse Pin Pointer is Pulse Induction, and they work extremely well. When I'm not using the Deus II and MI-6, I'm using the Fisher with all my other detectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
