[QUOTE="Big Johno, post: 653593, member: 16872"] Speaking of magnetic fields ! About 3 months ago I had a pacemaker, defibrillator all wifi controlled wired into me. the cardio gave me a list of what I couldn't do ie no arc welding over 100 amps etc. This troubled me as I have GPX 5000 with some big coils and a SDC so I contacted Minelab and they couldn't help me enough. They took the model number of my new toy and their engineer contacted the US company who makes them to discuss it with them. Result was it is a risk to detect with the big coils as the magnetic fields produced can effect the defiler, if using them I have to swing with the arm opposite to my defib unit and take extra care not to get my upper body directly above the coil while kneeling and using the scoop. Which I may add is a real pain, slows the day down greatly. BUT I can still get out there although my condition does play on my mind in remote areas like WA or Tibaburra etc [/QUOTE]
