[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 58092, member: 1695"] I think caution would be the best policy, Fisher detectors mention that VLF detectors are far away enough not to cause an issues, but not to put the coil when in operation near any implanted medical device. Garrett also mention regarding the ATX, that as the coil sits out the front of the shaft, away from the body, that it should not be an issue regarding pacemakers, and detecting metal items on . So you must wonder if running a large coil on a Minelab PI detector would be cause for alarm. Anothing thing to note is that most airport detectors are PI, and most websites recommend to pass through them quickly, or show doctors papers to go to alternative screening. Makes you wonder. :) [/QUOTE]
