parkgt Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 If the MI-6 works well why does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogliuga Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Don’t know but next one will be the tek-point by Teknetics. Next one will be a pulse pinpointer, that’s for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't like small foil, other than that it works fine. 1. Gen had problems when turned on next to big targets. They swapped my pointer to 2. Gen for free. I *think* the first one has been a little bit more sensitive, but maybe that's just a feeling. The batteries last forever.. can't even remember, how often I need to charge them. Perhaps 1-3x per year (with every week use!). Battery type / size was one of the main reasons for me to choose this pointer. I hate those 9V blocks... 2 hours ago, Ogliuga said: Don’t know but next one will be the tek-point by Teknetics. It's the same as the fisher, only the color is different.

phrunt Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Some old comments by Geotech about the F-Pulse, I suspect the XP Pinpointers are the same as the Pro-Find being loaded oscillator pinpointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 I own both the MI-6 and the Fisher F-Pulse. The manual for the F-Pulse states: Technology: Pulse Induction, bipolar, fully static Pulse rate: 2500pps, 4% offset adjust Sample delay: 15us The Manual for the MI-6 states: Search frequency 12kHz technology VLF So this is what made me curious about posts saying the MI-6 was PI. Has the MI-6 been changed to PI technology, but the literature has not been updated yet? Or is there a MI-6-II coming out? It's not necessarily a big deal to me as I love my MI-6 and use it exclusively with the D2. I use my F-Pulse with other detectors and as a back-up to the MI-6 with the D2. It does seem to me that the F-Pulse is a bit deeper in my mineralized soil than the MI-6 though. My inquiring mind just want to know. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I'm sure it's people confused by it's Pulse audio option and that snowballed into it's a pulse pinpointer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I stand corrected, I just like it 'cos it's wireless, and works in perfect harmony with all the other XP toys I have 😁 I also like my Quest XPointer Max now that @palzynskihas set me on the road to righteousness... 🤪 Matter of fact I have two of them.

Gary Blackwell stated it was a PI during a Skype informational call during an XP instructional seminar prior to the Mi6 release when asked whether it would have target ID capabilities a la a SunRay probe (i.e., context: because it’s a PI would not be capable of that). I passed that info on to F350. There is admittedly no clear, explicit documented information from XP to refute or support that verbal claim, so perhaps it was in error or I heard it wrong, but until proven not to be the case, I personally trust Gary’s statement (or what I heard) and perhaps Gary will pop in to set the record straight. Latch on to that what you will and make people fall on their swords or whatever but not sure it matters in the grand scheme of things. All I know is that it is highly sensitive under a variety of extreme ground mineralization/salt conditions and keeps that sensitivity when properly initialized and balanced under those conditions. So it appears to emulate the performance of a PI as far as I’m concerned. SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PI-Man Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 parkgt — I like your comment you nailed it! CPT_GhostLight — love the manual description you put up on F-Pulse ‘bipolar, fully static’. Sounds like some people I know maybe some of us on here too 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
