Anyone with a p.i. notice this ?

[gamiller]

Last week I noticed I was attracting some wildlife. A dolphin swimming by made a 90 degree turn to get closer to me to check me out. Later that same day a sea turtle also changed directions to get close, so far I haven't seen any sharks.

Washington, DC - The Federal government is warning Pulse Induction metal detectorists to "Stay dry, and Stay alive!" September through November, is the most dangerous time to be in the surf with breeding and birthing sharks.

Compounding this danger, Pulse Induction, or "PI" underwater metal detectors, can attract hungry sharks from as far away as one-nautical mile with their strong electronic pulses.

University of Arizona Professor Sandy Tiburón, said that detectorists - and the swimmers near them, are at increased risk of shark attack. "We have studied this problem since the fatal attack of a beach detectorist in Connecticut, in 2009," commented Professor Tiburón. "Our experiments show that sharks are not only attracted by pulse induction metal detectors, but that they also behave very aggressively when they locate it."

The Obama administration acted quickly in response to last month's fatal shark attack of a pulse induction user near Point Pleasant, New Jersey, announcing the appointment of Terry Soloman, as the administration's new Pulse Induction Czar. Mr. Soloman, will be responsible for gathering up all of the dangerous PI machines currently in use, and advising beach hunters to stay out of the water, through his department's "Stay Dry, Stay Alive!" outreach.

"I think it is critical that all water hunters send me these dangerous PI units as soon as possible," said Mr. Soloman. "We can only help those that want to help themselves, and staying completely out of the water is part of that commitment."

While it was not clear at the time of this interview where the PI metal detectors must be sent, Mr. Soloman made it clear that the information would be announced shortly.

Wow ,I am impressed it didn't take you long to figure out a humorous answer. You must of been waiting for some one to post such an item. Oh yea when are we going to know where to send our units to?

All I really hope for is that my p.i. attracts gold.
The wildlife is probably just curious with your
activity. I have fish, turtles and an occasional small shark
and even monk seal come up and check me out while detecting.
If you're moving sand and upsetting the bottom, they get curious.

And there's the big difference between PI users and VLF users. It's been a closely guarded secret among VLF users for years, and here it is. "VLF's draw bikini clad babes, not dangerous wildlife." Keep in mind, however, that bikini clad babes can be dangerous too. Be safe out there, my friend.

Hey Terry, those gullible enough to believe that may not purchase a PI after reading this and you're gonna boost BBS sales!
Unless you're gonna tell me they eat those using that technology first! Lol!

Just last week I was in waist deep water with my Sand Shark and all of a sudden about 30 StingRays came up from behind me. At first I was a little troubled, but when they swam by, they all darted in the same line. Thinking they were on to something, I followed the line and uncover a class ring.

My guess is that the government knows the serious impact that PI detectors can make on depleting treasure so they are trying to ban them before it is too late.

eddie current funny you mention rays,sandbar that i snorkel that is off shore has spotted eagle rays that come around and when ever i go in there path i almost always fan up a goodie??makes ya wonder

 

[Hot zone]

Good, confirms the logic of getting a Tiger Shark... Now I am wondering if a Pi detector for prospecting would attract rattlesnakes, scorpions or Mountain lions! Perhaps Obama would make me his new PPUG ... Prospecting Pi Unit Guru...

I take the batteries out of mine and keep them at my moms house. The PI machine is purely for extreme professionals only.

 

[fongu]

Good sense of humor.

I used to get fishermen complaining about me scaring the fish off with my PI
told them they should cast close to me cause I was attracting them - specially
bass in fresh waters - something to do with their lateral line
other fish are attracted by my scooping and stirring up the bottom

 

[sponge]

U need to be aware of panthers also. They have pi sensory too. You guys on the inland aren't safe either dude.

 

[G.I.B.]

What a lot of people don't know about PI machines is that you can 'tune' it to attract different kinds of marine life.

If you tape a bobby pin to your coil, the change in frequency seems to attract nurse sharks and sea bass.

Tape a small carpet tack and manatee's show up, where if you tape a paper clip to the coil, you will see more tarpon swimming around you.

Don't use any copper, bull sharks love that sound and they are pretty aggressive.

If you want to attract redfish or trout you need to wire your detector in series to get 24 volts. Then tape anything stainless steel to the coil and set the discrimination to zero.

The Gators seem to LOVE when I run my PI with a piece of raw chicken hanging from the coil.
