I suppose it could be useful in confined areas, but as a pinpointer, it strikes me as having too large a coil, defeating the whole idea of having a pinpointer in the first place. Personally, I just use the side of my coil to pinpoint.

Incidentally, if you (hopefully) have one of the old style Sand Sharks with removable coils, Tesoro made a 4 or 5 inch round coil for the machine. You could probably dig one up online.

Also, don't forget about the palm coil or probe options available for the Aquapulse.

I was thinking more about using it as an underwater MD? Maybe on sites where I know there are things?

Sadly my Shark is a hard wired one but I do have an 8 inch coil for my Aqua pulse

It sounds as if you are turning to the dark side and attempting to go "cloak and dagger"...

It's hard to get more cloak and dagger than an Aquapulse with a palm coil...you can run the wire up your wetsuit and into your glove...the wire is invisible and the hip mounted unit blends in nicely with the rest of your gear...

I am going to be doing some MD underwater in the States on a known site and wondered if this piece of equipment has any track record with people out there?

It looks much easier to use than a regular MD but if it is testicularly challenged then I won't buy one.

Sads669, I could school you on how we used wires and a hand cranked radio generator on a testicular object, but it would'nt help you find metal. It would be painful too.

I'm Leery about an offer allowing people who swim with sharks to finance a product.
But hey ,I'm not in marketing either.

Alright, alright. I'll chime in. It's too new to tell yet. But here's a link to a discussion about it.

Not a lot of help from this forum because it is so new...

Thanks Darren, great info......

I think the gaudy orange doesn't go well with the blue in your wetsuit.

I also get confused... is it no orange after labor day or orange only after labor day?

Deer Hunters wear orange after Labor Day so that makes it O.K.

Not sure about that. But i have heard the water proof pin pointers and such where a bit of a flop. Several issues and lots of recalls
