Electro Magnetic Field harmful to your body?

Just curious, but I was wondering if EMF is harmful to our bodies in any way? Would someone with a pacemaker or any electronic device on them be affected? How about our expensive toys we carry? Does anyone use a detector at night with their spendy nightvision goggles? I wonder if the EMF would effect high end electronics?
 
Well, I'm thinking if it was to bad then MRI's are killing people!

Seeing how your body operates off of millivolts, my guess is maybe?
 
Anyone ever scan their mouth and see if their cavity fillings would trigger their detector? Probably a dumb idea. Just curious. :crazy:

A dental implant will easily set off the Tejon! (just one)
I don't remember what the disc setting was LoL!

I just had my cola to come out of my nose on that picture, funny as heck !
 
Hi heckling7, I have had a pacemaker since 2000 and it took awhile before I could get the same question answered. I was really afraid I would have to quit detecting because of my pacemaker. You would be surprised at how little info at that time was available. Now too I would bet. Anyway, My heart Dr., after saying he was no authority, said he thought there would be no problems so long as I did not get the detector coil (while turned on) close to my chest where the Pacemaker is located.. This has so far proved true for Common sense is the key to most situations and this is a good example I do not place ANY thing electrified, or magnetized near my chest . . A word of warning for diggers with pacemakers is to break the habit of flipping the detector on end when needing to tighten the coil nut a bit. This puts the coil up close to your chest which can cause a mishap .If you must, keep it at arms length. I would think it a good idea also not to gang up an a wad when you and your buddies are all gearing up for a hunt. My buddy with a Pacemaker got his coil up to close like that once and "felt" a reaction take place in his chest. Nothing drastic happened but he said he certainly 'sensed" some sort of reaction in his chest...I was a welder for over 40 years and Dr. also told me to hang it up!. Also told me not to shoot a shotgun. As always, but especially for us older folks, Common Sense will help get us a little further down the road.. Breaking old habits are not so easy as we would hope either,r so keep that in mind every time a coil nut needs a turn or two .HH,Charlie .
 
Oh, I all most forgot,
I'm sure that California has found EMF to be harmful to your health!

Hi, Scanman, that shirt is pretty cool, and certainly worth looking into. I wonder if the 'lightning factor" needs to be considered? Hummn ,, got to consider all the pros and cons! HH Charlie
 
Linemen and others in the utility industry that are exposed to high voltage EMI have very high rates of cancer, especially brain cancer. I worked in high voltage EMI fields for almost two years in substations and at nuke plants. These were voltages up to 500,000 volts. You can feel it when you are in these fields, especially on a hot humid day. One misty day it was so bad that in certain parts of the substation I was getting shocks through legs when walking. It is called step potential and is caused by a difference in ground potential between you feet. With this difference in potential between your feet, current will flow through you. Take big steps and potential difference is greater and you feel it more. Stand on one foot and you feel nothing because there is no potential difference between your feet on the ground because you are just on one foot. It feels like a thousand pins pricking you in the legs. You get through it by taking real small steps or shuffling your feet. I don't do it anymore because the pay did not justify the risk. You don't have to touch anything to die there, you can just come within a distance of the high voltage and get blown to hell. Life is too short for that.
 
EMF or
EMI

Are we even talking about the same thing?

I'm thinking of EMF (near in or around it, or around us) as like being in an MRI body scan where there is a strong electro magnet energized and your in it!

EMI I'm thinking is more of a field of high energy that is emitted around electrical power lines, this is a type of energy that can light a light bulb. (this is one that is believed to cause cancer)

EMF- electromagnetic field
EMI- electromagnetic interference.

EMF can cause EMI.
 
I really think it will cause you too many problems... You better sell me your detectors right away.... KEN
 
Ken, I can't sell to you cuz you already have what I have. What about that Pro Pirate with low freq, is it a silver killer?

Hi Rainy,, The piroate is real good on silver. It is also pretty good on salt sand, I do find gold too. Not good on small chains. Or ear rings with gold. I just use it when I am in The Philippines on the salt beaches. I can wash it off when finished.. Will not use my Tesoros at the beach.. The salty air and mist is bad. I also use the 8" coil because of all the trash their... I would like to pick up another for here in the states. I don't mind hunting in the rain. ,, But, yes, it is good on silver and deep too.
 
Ken thanks for the info on the Pirate Pro. The low frequency is really appealing to me for silver hunting.
