give this man a breakand some respect all of his videos are nicely made and made for us .. since we all know that it is a pulse induction and not a pulse introduction .. the fact of the matter is that we all know what he ment if we are only here to make fun about someone who is making an effort for a possible buyer and is just here to help us .. who cares maybee rented by whites ,or sponsored , so what in a way we are all sponsered by someone . great job man , great vidthank you for sharing and me and my buddies always want to go out again when we see your,e vids keep them coming all the best from europe
I watch them any of these videos that I can't even understand because they talked like everyone knows as much as they tell you are very clear very descriptive extremely helpful keep up the good work
Have to love voice command I tell you it never writes what I say your videos are very clear and easy to understand I watch a lot of videos I that don't make sense you were very clear very helpful keep up the good work
Thanks for this. I bought the two dial machine new maybe 25 years ago for diving. Now I’m retired and pulled the machine out for beach hunting. Forgot how to use it. My Garrett dry machine had the corroded cable so I ordered a new coil. I’ll be back in business soon. Big help. Thank you.
Been using my pulse for over 20 yrs. now with zero problems with it. The machine runs just fine on the presets. If you want to pinpoint with it just turn the coil on its side, narrow side to the target, move until you get the best response, the target will be just under the curve of the coil. Good hunting!!

Thank you, for the easy to understand tutorial on the metal detectors. I have wanted to buy one for a year now but was too overwhelmed by the numerous models and makes of units. I have been doing some research and have found that this UA-cam video was the best explanation on the difference between the pulse induction and the discriminating models. Now all I have to do is find a used one at a good price.
Thank you so much. I just got my Surfmaster Pulse back from another diver (after 25 years). After watching your video, I'll be using it again. Great video!! Maybe now I'll understand how to use it.
I have one of the earlier versions of the Surf Masters... yes it does find a lot of junk... mostly old fishing weights, old hooks, leader material etc. but it's also found a tiny piece of rusted something about a 1/16"Sq. so it is pretty sensitive.... Maybe a little more sensitive than some of the coments made by some of the earlier people (pros) concerned with what PI really means..... ok we get it.... yea it doesn't discriminate junk, buy that's ok too.... I'll dig it.... just because! I know of other detectors that will pass up stuff because they thought it to be junk.... but also were mistaken. And there's those that thought a target was junk, and it ended up being a smaller silver coin etc.... they are good machines. I like them and mine, and I'll stick with it. And thanks for the video. Even if I think I know, it never hurts to listen and maybe pick up on something you didn't know.... -Digger Doug
Love your videos. I was considering making my TDI SL waterproof or possibly getting a dual field pi. The SL goes so deep but at the moment all I have done is paint the circuit board with liquid tape and under all the potentiometers and connectors. I have used it in the rain for extended periods of time and have had a few waves sneak up on me and soak the unit but surprisingly it still seems to function great. I'm sure eventually it will crap out on me for the abuse. Keep up the great vids
Nice Video, I have the surf pi pro and is the best model they made so far, I heard the duel field is not as good? but i can say set the gain real high and the threshold low so when you swing and lower your coil it falses a little, If to high it will false even more, I find that its very sensitive to gold and when you go over a good target it bangs loud, when over large iron keep the search coil still, If it nals out its large iron or tin can, swing the coil fast when you hit a target swirl your coil if it breaks up its garbage, New pull tabs are thin and use the swirl motion and it should sound like trash, I use the pi pro at our beaches it the best dry sand plus low tide ever made, For surf hunting i use the Minelab excal 800 blue one the best for me, The pi will go deeper but harder to pin point than the excal 800, I have tons of hours on the surf pi pro and it out performed my Garrett atx which i sold it after being very disappointed on the depth compared to the pi pro, Like weight, simple sounds, stable operating, great depth for price, not worth the price, But for gold prospecting atx will outshine, But for beach hunting Whites surf pi pro will be the winner all the way & anyone that owns the pi pro knows and wont sell it GL HH
I have the Whites Surf P. I. (purple) cover with the 2 knobs love to get a link for the manual and PDF, also when I got it the battery casing had battery leakage but was not attached to the plug so I'm hoping the detector isn't damaged, this video was very helpful ty.
I got my Surfmaster Pulse back and it's basically been sitting since 1989. It still works but I'm going to sell it if you are interested. I don't live near a beach and really don't need a pulse induction unit. Great video!
thanks for your honesty. so many people are afraid of offending someone. I or we people use this youtube to get opinions on equipment so we can buy. I need another detector at this time since my AT PRO had to be sent in for repairs. In the month of August jut to think summer is almost over with depositors at the beaches going away.
I just got the surf master PI today the guy who sold it to me did not know how to use it and just wanted to get rid of it i air tested it and it seemed to detect silver and gold just fine .I got home and was inspecting the o rings and they are dry rotted and seems i will not be able to use it in the water till i get the o rings replaced and the lower shaft coil mounting bracket is broke i did locate where to order the lower shaft and rubber washers and plastic bolts at whites on line but will still need it inspected for being water tight i found the service center in florida which is just 3 hours from my home and will be delivering it there in person for this service . Just watched your informative video about this machine ..
Gary, I have a DF, I never use the pulse delay, it stays off. The wobble usually comes from gain set too high... I run the gain just under the preset, and threshold just audible.... A lower gain setting on this machine does not always mean less depth, with these settings I dug a dime at "20 in wet beach sand, try it, hope it helps !
Thanks for the video. I’m not trying to nit pick just help. They already were hard on you for the induction so I’ll leave that alone. The other control is a tuner control not a turner control. You seem like a great guy so just trying to help. Wish I knew how contact you personally, thanks
Ok, here we go again. Modern batteries shouldn't leak BUT! The only reason we open the waterproof case when not in use is because of temperature changes which in turn create pressure inside the housing. If you left the detector in your car in summer for instance you should release the lid, or top if you like, because if you don't and pressure builds to a certain level then you stand a chance of cracking the case.
I am thinking of buying a surf-master,I live in Florida on the gulf coast side ,I have beaches all around me. I am leary with Craig's list (it will be cheaper, but I will take a risk). I have like 300 dollars thank you points with credit card and can use them on amazon,so it might be better to buy a new one on amazon .My cheap or frugal side says to buy on craigs list, but my cautious side says to buy new.
Good video man, screw the haters we all knew what you meant by "introduction" ,but as far as being cheaper than Disc VLF machines..I'd have to ask where?, my Surfmaster PI cost $829.00 new I know of a lot of VLF machines that I can buy cheaper then 800 bucks..
Hello Diggingdetecter, I'm fixing to pull the trigger on a metal detecter for the beach. Ive been using the DFX for sometime and have found many good finds in the dry sand, even in sanded areas. However i'm at a crossroads between the MXT ALL PRO, or the SURFMASTER PI PRO. I called a dealer the other day and asking if he had the Surfmaster in stock and he was adamant on steering me to purchase the MX SPORT. Whats your professional thoughts on this matter?
hey double d learned a lot from your vids thx for all the info. what are your thoughts on minelab safari and Tesoro tiger shark. I didn't see them in any of your vids but I figured you have them laying around somewhere in your pile of detectors..lol
The beaches are so trashy in Southern California that I was considering the excal, do you still like the excal and how's its discrimination ability. Still torn between the excal and the dual field.
Hey Diggingdetector, Toss up between the Surfmaster PI Pro and the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II.... Can I ask for your input please? Want the better of the two even if one cost more or less. Not any "vs" reviews out there that really take a close look at both. Whites or Garretts????? Thank you from New York soon to be from Florida.
I'm asking about diving, and search in the ocean, not used on the sand! Because many one guy sey when the waves hits the coil that produce false signals!
can you say sompthing about Garrett Infinium ls??? its better from this two machines??? Because im from Tenerife, and atlantic ocean its very salty, and all the beaches are with black sands, and my garrett euro ace go crazy on only half of sensitivity! So im thinking about PI machines, because from what i see Minelab Excalibur not gona work very good!!! Thank you!
Diggingdetector You must be RICH dear fellow friend, all these detectors are over $1000 dollar mark, just wondered if u had a good career, or savings, not everyone can splash out on a high Caliburer priced machine, especially as most top MineLabs are $2000, Minelabs GTX 5000 being $4,500+. Hope u can answer me how you afford LOL. bless, Danny
+7 Facts About Everything i just bought the surf master pulse for 100.00 dollars at a garage sale and am having it serviced and tested by warrens metal detectors out of freeport fl
@@Diggingdetector I need to ask you what is the diameter of the O'ring on the surfmaster pi 950. I cant seem to find the right one. The reasin I ask is because I want to buy it on a online O'ring store.

Hi julia
Did you sell it ? if you dont , whats the price of your surfmaster
All this time I thought is was Pulse Induction not introduction . Thank for the correct info

Thanks for the video, it calls pulse induction not pulse introduction as you said in the video
Good work. I don't have a problem swinging the Dual Field PI in the water slow. ;)
Excellent video!
this guy is very knowledgable....all he needs now is learn what hes talkin about..
the P.I. is the acronym for Pulse Intercourse. lol
Thanks for the video. I’m not trying to nit pick just help. They already were hard on you for the induction so I’ll leave that alone. The other control is a tuner control not a turner control.

It has been awhile since you did this great comparison video. How are you finding the Surfmaster? Do you still recommend this unit for the beach?
Nice job-thanks for the info.
pulse introduction... I just had to pause the video cus I had hot coffee spraying from my nostrils, LOL... anyway, resume...
The new Surfmaster still decent no? Im thinking on getting it.

Sir, that isn't Pulse Introduction. It is Pulse Induction. Just letting you know. Good luck with your searches.
Thanks mate, appreciate the info
nice video , what your opinion with the older version "?
Ty very helpful. You know alot ..
Cuida esos detectores son buenísimos para buscar oro
I think is Pulse Induction not Introduction buddy
Thanks great info!
apart from the PULSE 8, THIS IS THE BEST P.I. DETECTOR OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS !! .... BAR NONE !!

Sorry for my ignorance but what does it mean to be a Pulse Machine?
I just purchased the whites surf pi but I don't know how to tune it can u help me
What are the type of batteries and how many to use on White Surf PI thanks Garry
thanks for great review, does the Pi Pro supposed to be waterproof up to 100 feet?
hey double d learned a lot from your vids thx for all the info. what are your thoughts on minelab safari and Tesoro tiger shark. I didn't see them in any of your vids but I figured you have them laying around somewhere in your pile of detectors..lol
The beaches are so trashy in Southern California that I was considering the excal, do you still like the excal and how's its discrimination ability. Still torn between the excal and the dual field.
How deep is it going the new version

The first machines would not detect white gold or platinum,
I'm asking about diving, and search in the ocean, not used on the sand! Because many one guy sey when the waves hits the coil that produce false signals!
can you say sompthing about Garrett Infinium ls??? its better from this two machines???

So im thinking about PI machines, because from what i see Minelab Excalibur not gona work very good!!! Thank you!
I haven't used the garrett infinium so I can't say.
mitqtf Garett ATX would work best for those kind of conditions
ha ha that's Pulse INDUCTION brother - just saying :-)
Pi dosent stand for pulse introduction, It stands for pulse induction
Clark Fox we know ffs!
Pulse Induction
YOu have a lot of machines. Do you keep them or will they take them back?
I buy them, try them and resell them if I don't have a need for them. I have 3 I love. The one in this video is currently my favorite.
'Pulse Introduction' is that new technology?
Ohhh... So it's not Polar Impolarization machine?
Never mind. I have just watched the rest of the video and gotten the answer. 😬
Shalom Rabbi, my name is Michael and I have a ? 4 ya do ya live in Florida and if you do what side east or west?
INDUCTION, not introduction...
pulse introduction? don't you mean pulse induction?
Pulse induction, not pulse introduction!
Induction, NOT introduction.
it' Pulse induction Not introduction
How many more f ing times is some one going to comment on what they heard. Get a life !
Pulse INDUCTION not introduction. Please learn. Great video. Other than that damn english language.

He said Induction but as it goes through his beard it gets changed to Introduction....!
It's Pulse Induction Dude... Lol
