Description
JW Fishers Pulse 6X and Pulse 8X are commercial grade underwater metal detectors that will locate all metals ferrous and nonferrous. The Diver Mag1 hand held magnetometer locates ferrous metals (iron/steel), and detects them from much greater distances than metal detectors. Fishers PT-1 Pipe Tracker is a special magnetometer specifically designed to locate, pinpoint, and track iron and steel pipelines and steel armored cables. The PT-1 will also locate any iron/steel target. The SAR-1 is a commercial grade underwater metal detector (like the award winning Pulse 8X), specifically designed for dark water operations. All detectors work equally well on land and underwater.
Metal Detector vs. Magnetometer
If you are searching primarily for nonferrous metal (gold, silver, lead, brass, bronze, aluminum, etc.), the best piece of equipment is a metal detector (Pulse 6X, Pulse 8X or SAR-1).
If you are searching primarily for ferrous metal objects (iron and steel), the best piece of equipment is a magnetometer (DiverMag-1 or PT-1). The advantage of using a magnetometer is that it has a much greater detection are than a metal detector.
