[QUOTE="Guest, post: 590485"] G'day I used to fossick with a mate who had an implanted pacemaker and detecting was no issue, I asked him the same question about metal detectors and he said there was no effect from them on the pacemaker, and also him being an avid detectorists I would imagine he asked the question himself when he got it put in, and also after reading the report above from Dave Johnson I cant imagine it would be an issue, and in light of their being so many electrical devices around us wherever we go these days I would assume that these pacemakers would be fairly rugged and not effected by any external interference, but for peace of mind speak directly to your cardiac specialist as advised. I used to tease him and say I was going to bring along a garage door opener and make him do star jumps, I cant repeat what the reply was :awful: cheers stayyerAU [/QUOTE]
