Steve Herschbach Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Fisher is releasing a new pinpointer for metal detecting, the new Fisher F-Pulse. The name implies it is a pulse induction pinpointer? The screw in plug in the end implies AA batteries and that the unit is probably waterproof, but with no other information to go on right now these are all guesses. No word on price yet either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 There is a Teknetics version too.. The Tek-Point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yes, that was posted yesterday.... Same pinpointer no doubt, just different colors - dark green or dark red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I guess I missed that. It's nice to see some new entries in the pinpointer market. Competition means better products for us.. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 I agree - the more the merrier. No worries on the Tek mention as I should have made the link there myself - so thanks! I am interested in it mainly for the possibility of it being a pulse induction pinpointer. I have never tried a PI pinpointer but would like to. If the F-Pulse is a PI (about has to be with a name like that) then I will have to give it a spin. I personally will be more inclined towards the F-Pulse over the Teknetics version simply because of the color. Dark green and black would be easier for me to lose. Be interesting to see if either the new First Texas model or the new Minelab pinpointer can make me put my Garrett Carrot aside. I have been doing more turf detecting than normal this summer and I don't know how I used to do it without a pinpointer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gillespie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The question to be is it performance comparable with the Garrett pro pointer and at what cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
