Hi Dave
I am wondering when your amazing PI discriminating detector will be available for purchase.
I have many years of experience with VLF/ FBS discriminating type machines and currently use an E-Trac which I am very happy with, I am looking for the latest technology in waterproof PI shallow salt water detecting.
Your machine sounds perfect for my needs.
Do you have an idea of release dates an pricing?
Thankyou
Bazza

thread died

doh , i was just getting into all that and i reached the end,

what's the current state of play ???

notice the post's stopped last year , any updates ???

[NC-Dave]

Hi there, I have kept below the radar as I have had other commitments as well as many problems and circumstances which have precluded the release of my detectors.

Although they had a zero dollar investment in what has been a seven year plus project, some people have made it perfectly clear that they think I am guilty of committing some kind of a grave injustice by my not being able to deliver my detectors in a timely way. What is worse is that these people still truly believe that they are in the right!

These people invested absolutely nothing yet they demand the right to say that they can never again trust me as a person. They made this judgement without any knowledge or inquiry about my personal situation and or problems that I was facing at the time.

TO SUM UP, THEY HAVE A TOTAL 100% ZERO INVESTMENT YET THEY CLAIM THAT I HAVE SOMEHOW HURT THEM OR CAUSED THEM SOME KIND OF GRIEF.

I have invested thousands of dollars to develop and patent my designs, I have spent years working on them. I can assure you that the lack of getting to market hurt me a lot more than anyone else.

Luckily I have a true and good friend who is standing by me who is to be my distributor. He has stood by me and is looking forward to receiving the first batch of my detectors.

I believe that my PIB (Pulse Induction Balance) detectors will raise more than a few eyebrows as they are extremely deep seeking and have a second to none discrimination ability.

It is my hope that you will soon be reading a number of test reports from a number of people who's names you will recognize from posts on this forum.

This will soon be followed by the release of the detectors. Dave. * * *

good stuff

all sounds good sruff dave,

as far as time goes , development takes as long as it takes , a rushed product may not have all the flaws ironed out,

personaly , i would have been a little worried about the big boys beating me to it.

eagerly awaiting to hear more about it when it comes out.

there will always be the hecklers , in reality , they are proberbly the most worried ones.

getting knocked back by the "it'll never work brigade" , IS PART OF LIFE.

THEM THAT THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING , HAVE STOPPED LEARNING .

Hi Dave,U still got friends with interest,and an understanding of the steep hill to climb for full commercial acceptance,development and sales of a future PI detector.Financing,backing is difficult and never easy.very hard to cover all bases for this individually.
Re,Pulsemate Detectors and Coils,Ive had a large part to play in R&D work,many New coil designs and preliminary world wide sales,to cover most all makes and models of current PI detector designs.the likes of large coils for Minelabs SD/GP/Gpx.Whites Oz TDI pro,an Surf Pi etc. DF coils.Garretts Infinium 18 inchers, large PI coils for C-Scopes PI models. etc. and range of large VLF coils for GMT Whites,Garretts Gold Scorpion etc. and Tesoro,an the latest towards Technetics T2 etc.
Not to mention the Pulsemate One and Two PI Metel detector.?
All 4+ years of hard works and developments .and not to mention the Financing,Manufacture aspects? Ha!
I feel for your concerns.
regards Rick

Pulse Devil field tests.

Hi Dave,
When are we gonna here about these field tests on the Pulse Devil you promised in June?
Really looking forward to reading how great your detector is.

[NC-Dave]

Marcus,

The Pulse Devil has been ready for some time. I have not. I was about to go to England and France with my detectors this September when I slipped on a wet floor and badly broke my right wrist. (yes I am right handed) It is still healing and I am only allowed to lift a couple of pounds max for a while. I am still doing some work on the detector but it has limited me a lot. The cast is off but I still have to wear a removable support.

As to the comment posted about risking the big boys get my technology. I have one issued US patent and there will likely be some more in a while. Also, much of the design on my detectors is based on older methods that were never fully developed. these methods cannot be patented (I checked).

I am planning to go to England and France in January. England will be cold, wet and dark by 4pm but the South of France should be a lot better. one reason I go to England is to see my 93 year old mother. Of course it is also nice to use my detectors over there.

The Pulse Devil's are an exact match for the conditions in Europe which is why so much of my effort is concentrated there. Pulse Devil's can detect small, thin medieval hammered silver coins lying below and even touching iron while ignoring the iron. European fields are infested with iron. You have to detect there to believe it.

I have found quite a few really old coins in England with the Pulse Devil's. The coins range from Celtic from about 200BC to Roman coins (most from the fourth century) and medieval hammered silver coins including a silver penny of King Canute, and coins of Edward I, Edward II and Edward III, Henry II, Henry III, Henry VII and Henry VIII and Elizabeth I and Charles I to mention a few. I have had all the coins documented as per UK law.

As to the availability of the Pulse Devil's, most everything is ready to go. The detectors meet the strict European certifications that are required by law so there is nothing stopping me from selling either in the USA or Europe. My local machine shop has done a great job on the mechanical issues and I have a great circuit board company which I deal with. The last hurdle I am working on is a coil winding machine.

The Pulse Devil coils use heavy gauge wire which is not easily wound by normal hand construction techniques. The coils are quite elaborate. There are three coils in each assembly. Each of them is fully shielded using stainless steel mesh that is set over spacers. After construction the coils have to be balanced using an oscilloscope.

OK, there's the update. I should have some detectors soon if I don't get malaria, break my neck or befall some other disaster. Dave. * * *

I think this machine will be quite special - I wonder how it would compete for example with an E-Trac both in performance and pricing.

[Tepco]

US 20090045813. Chance for this to work properly and produce performance like described, making new leap in metal detecting is about equal to the chance to be abducted by aliens, due to many reasons. Field tests will be most probably postponed to some undefined point in the future. This is how it will compete.

Hi Dave,

Very interesting stuff.

I live on the south coast, not far from Hastings. When you get to England I would be very interested to see one of your detectors in action - might even buy one!!!

Good luck and cheers,

Jim.

[NC-Dave]

Tepco,

The detectors under test do not use the method in my now issued US patent. That method does indeed work very well and it is being perfected. The present detectors are however ready to go.

I have been working for some time on production issues. I doubt if many people realize how much work there is to get any electronic device to market.

That little label you see on the back of equipment that says "CE" takes a lot of work. Every electronic component, the circuit board, the solder used, every wire, every control knob and every screw has to meet the new European regulations.

I have to keep a folder with a certificate for every part that is used. The detector also had to be lab tested for radiation compliance. That test alone was $3700.00. You cannot simply build and sell a metal detector there is much more to it than that.

Jim,

My future distributor in England is located in Sussex. I plan to visit him in January. He will be giving hands on demonstrations to those who have an interest. email me at: [email protected] so I can let you know when I am going to be over. Dave. * * *

Hi Dave,
how to explain your above claims given on the same day?
Is detector ready or not?
Or it is only ready to go - obsolete?

[NC-Dave]

WM6 I sense some of the same animosity that I have been subjected to for a long time. You seem to have the belief that you are entitled to judge me for whatever your reasons may be and as if I owed you something!!!

Let's get something straight here. I have been working on my detectors for many years. I have to work for a living and cannot devote all of my time to working on my detectors.

To add to this I have had some very serious health problems over the years which have substantially slowed and delayed my efforts for many months at a time.

On the plus side, I have no investors. 100% of the development costs of my detectors have been paid for by myself. I have also never taken a single penny for any future order or orders.

As to the status of my detectors, they are technically ready for production but due to my health issues I have not been in a position to put in the required amount of time to ready them for sale. This I assure you will change very soon as I have someone to manage the production issues.

Why the hostility?

What exactly is your problem?

My detectors will be available when they are available. Any lack of their availability has a zero impact on anyone on the planet, especially you.

It would be very difficult for you to claim that I am simply a fraud who does not have any detectors as some have claimed when dozens of people saw demonstrations of the Pulse Devil at several major European detector rallies. A number of others actually used a Pulse Devil that I loaned to them at the rallies.

Why would I pay thousands of dollars out on patents and trademarks? One US patent is already issued.

Please explain your concerns so all can read them and judge for themselves if they have any foundation. Dave. * * *

Please don't get me wrong. In my last post i'm criticized only content of patent application US 20090045813, not detector itself. I'm aware of situation, and i do not expect from anyone to lash out everything in patent paperwork ( will be unreasonable, if not stupid).

PS instead of complicated reference burst timing, gated PLL is better solution, at least i reproduced machine that way. Best regard.
