What do all think of this?

[ivconic]

The real question I have is: where do you get such fears from? Who creates such paranoia?

This brand is the one to go with ...

Joking aside, but the EM field that such coils can generate is totally harmless to human health, take my word for it!
However, NIOSH did NOT test the GPZ 8000. That study was from 1997 on old-school security detectors (airport/courthouse type), not gold prospecting machines.
The GPZ 8000 came out way later. So no, nobody from the government has officially tested this specific detector for health effects.
That said, metal detectors in general operate on very low power; we're talking milliwatts or a few watts at most.
The GPZ runs on a lithium battery pack, not a nuclear reactor.
There's still zero confirmed EMF health cases from any consumer metal detector.
Real risks: your back and swinging arm are the only things getting damaged. Use the harness.

Some folk are sitting in the near field of the 8000 coil when running their scoop over the coil to see if they have isolated a target and i can assure you that some implanted medical devices WILL be effected as i have one. As a radiation biologist i would be concerned about the long term exposure to the EM field of the 8000 as some recent animal studies have shown some effects of exposure. to LF EMF.

Paul I got a great idea for a new hit product!
A small smart gadget that will 100% neutralize the nuclear radiation coming from the GPZ detector!
Some experiences from Chernobyl may be useful here.
I've broken a couple of magnetrons and I've always wondered what that gold mesh wire is for?
Now the circle closes and everything becomes clear!
Adjustable "diapers" made of this mesh that are pulled over the groin!
(good prompt for AI)

You don't have to try, you have me as an obvious example of someone who was exposed to the influence of EM fields from various metal detectors for many years.
All the symptoms are very visible from my posts.
The reproductive organ was not damaged, but the brain was, what can I say?

The real thing is that many repairmen of radar equipment died from the later development of cancerous diseases.
We had a colleague here on the forum (a very expert) who worked on radars in the past.
I remember he wrote that there were consequences.
But that's really something we can't expect from a metal detector.
However, your questions about long exposure make sense.
Finally, for the benefit of the forum it is good to research it.
My willingness to joke about this topic is not because I am certain that these questions are meaningless.
But for the reason that today in our daily life we are really exposed in the long term to much more malignant sources of various "radiations" that are
much more radical and present in our lives than a very benign device such as a metal detector.
The easiest example is smartphones, although the industry has already secured itself from such doubts.
I am sure that the smartphone is very harmful when it is often near the head.
And yet, everyday life forces you to use it often.
Or... there's an even funnier example!
In cities with the most air pollution - the most radical fight against smoking!
Smoking bans are everywhere.
"2.5 and 10" particle counters are now very cheap and can be made for a few dollars with the help of an Arduino.
In the same areas, there are also a very large number of cars that have exhaust gases, many factories that release so many poisons into nature...
And LED lighting?
LED lighting and "drivers" that work in pulse mode are incredibly strong sources of all possible negative "radiation".
We are surrounded by much stronger and more dangerous risks, and instead of an entire forest, we deal with only one tree.

Phew!
I remember even bigger craziness!
A few years ago, a fierce campaign against cows was launched in some "very advanced" EU countries!
Because they "fart" a lot and thus pollute the air with methane!
And the more "advanced" the country is - the harsher the truth is, the masses of people in those countries are unprecedentedly mentally limited and stupid.
Because they are ready to mobilize with such idiotic claims.
And that led to a huge reduction in cow breeding! Because "someone" had interests in it!
Why should such a country produce its own food and be independent of the will of the world's large neoliberal companies?
Even the stupidest possible theories were accepted by the people!
People, dear colleagues, you must understand what kind of world we live in!
We live in a world where there is a terrible decline in intelligence and the ability to think freely!
Even the most stupid ideas and theories are very easily accepted by the masses!
All this is really an old conspiracy and not just a conspiracy theory.
Everything points to that!
The biggest phenomenon I've been dealing with in recent months is the "7 Seconds" phenomenon.
It is a theory that says that the focus of young generations is reduced and compressed in just the first 7 seconds of exposure to information!
Sometimes (very often) I write long posts on purpose. Not only because I'm a scribe, but I'm conducting a sociological experiment for some of my research.
Every post of mine that is longer than 7 seconds to read; remains without reactions.
Why are small children, young people, constantly holding smartphones and constantly scrolling down with their fingers?
TikTok, other social networks, not to mention them by name... all of them are very adapted to the "7 seconds" effect.
People, the times we live in are terrible and very dramatic!
Start your brain, get active. Do your research.
Because of that one tree that we only see; a huge "Amazon forest" full of evil is hiding!

... of course if you have a magnetic sensitive device in your body then the obvious answer is : Stay Away from Metal Detectors !

Or as Ivica suggested get some Mesh Undies !

[ivconic]

Related to the cow fart... and note the kangaroo in your picture Paul; I wonder: do kangaroos fart just like cows?
In that case Australia is in big trouble!
...
Considering the difficult situation with energy sources in the world today; cow and kangaroo farts have a great business future!
Instead of wasting time on pointless metal detectors; we should put our brains together and come up with an effective method of shrinking and compressing farts!
Ugh now I made a tactical error; I made public a super genius idea that ML&XP will now abuse!

[ivconic]

[ivconic]

Ok, now you know what the new ML abbreviation "CFF" means! I just made Candy my enemy!

[Aziz]

Mesh pants..
Don't forget the aluminum hat.

What about electro static mesh for the flies in the outback?
The high flyback voltage could be used to kill the flies.
It replaces the aluminum hat.
That's is the real next level!

This playing with AI cartoons is getting addictive!

[Carl-NC]

This is why token usage is accelerating. And why all the cartoonists are now unemployed.

[ivconic]

Many occupations are also threatened.
It's hard to tell if AI alone is the reason or the general bad world situation.
But the improved AI capabilities are increasingly occupying my attention and for now it's just fun.

However, Artificial Intelligence cannot do this!
