Pulse dive nokta/makro

[nugget71]

Received the new pulse dive/pinpointer today 2 in 1. Just with air tests and different targets I'm pretty impressed. 5 levels of sensitivity gives it good depth. 5 to 6 inches on most coins. Can't wait to use it on the beach and our freshwater creeks. Will be fun!
Comes with a 2 year warranty, extra seals, holster, bungy cord, hard case to store it, strong led light built in and 2 caps one land and one sea. Usb cord to charge it up. I purchased the yellow one mainly for visibility in dirty water. You can just buy the pinpointer version but why not grab the small coil combo for a little extra. Well worth it in my opinion.
Well worth the price at only $280 Australia $$. Obviously cheaper for USA and Europe. I'd show photo's but can't downsize them to fit on this site.
Anyway will let you all know how it performs in different terrains. Both fresh and salt water.
Cheers!

CONGRATULATIONS

I have one now too - seems like it will work well.
Going to use it snorkeling - Soon I hope
Summer and hot weather is late this year- water is cold.

Similar conditions here my friend. I might brave it this weekend haha. So keen!
Congrats on your pulse dive. Definitely going to be fun!
Best of luck!

For those that already have it, I'm looking to replace my carrot top and this looks like it might be the ticket.

One think that I find annoying about the carrot top is the delay turning it on and off, how's it on the Nokta pulse?

Also as it seems to have some programmability to change the settings, how about accidentally fumble fingering the button(s) and getting into some kind of program mode? I've had this happen on my carrot pointer a few times, that's always fun

TIA!

Turning off is quite good, but there is a short delay when turning on, its definitely not instant.

Lot faster turn on and off than my Quest Deteknix Wader LI pinpointer. No lag time in waiting for the PD is ready for the job and turn off.
Much more enjoyable to use. And found using the sides if the PD pinpointer, you can run it down along the sides of the hole then use the tip to isolate the target. Very useful when the target is off center, especially junk targets which can be, or coins on edge.

Unless mine is faulty (which I doubt) there is about a 2 second delay at startup before any metal can be detected, my nokta rs pointer and fisher f-pulse definitely startup quicker, but for me the inbuilt battery and ability to pair with nokta green headphones is why I like it,

Can't praise the PD enough!
Both dive mode and pinpointer are brilliant.
Definitely a good investment. Using mine in rivers, creeks beach's and even along the sides of the banks where rocks form natural sluice like formations. Gotta say I'm having a blast. Got me hungry again as my terrains have opened up again.
Made well too just keep the seals clean and treat with respect and she should last ages!

With the exception of being able to take this far underwater, what would be the point of using this pinpointer with the included coil since it does not discriminate targets. Wouldn't you just use a normal detector like the Kruzer to find a target and then use the pinpointer to grab it? I rarely use a pinpointer in the water since I'm carrying a scoop. I just don't see the point using the coil when most people have a regular detector. There's a good case for this on YouTube where a guy is carrying his Excalibur but detecting with this pinpointer with coil, getting lots of targets but not actually finding anything. I would consider this if I didn't already have a Carrot, but the additional coil is lost on me. Anyone using this instead of their main detector to hunt with?

It's just another tool mate. Opens up other avenues to certain types of terrain? Deep scuba, Rocky creeks which is perfect for the pulse dive. A good tradesman will have all the best tools to do the best job. My opinion nothing more.
I just love the versatility, it's great. If your not into diving I get it. It's easy to use it's cheap as chips and works well for me. Great for the kids too if they wanna play. A great introduction kit for fun times at the beach or rivers and creeks. My boy has struggled to get into detecting as he wasn't really interested but the pulse dive grabbed him. So I'm pretty stoked about that. I'm ordering another one cause he keeps pinching mine now lol bless him.
Each to there own I say.
Happy hunting everyone.

Let us just say, "stealth" is the big advantage.

Can anyone review the vibration only mode? Is it strong enough to easily feel- I plan on snorkeling. Thanks.

Is anyone still using this? Looks like a lot of bang for your buck as far as a pin pointer / water hunter is concerned. My only pause is that I've not seen it tested on small jewelry such as earrings or pendants. Will the pin pointer attachment for example pick up an earing in a dry hole? Or am i askkng too much of this thing.
