I've used the Garrett Carrot for a while and I like it. But it doesn't have the sensitivity I want, while still preventing the pinpointer from "overloading" (giving a solid tone or continuous vibrate) too soon.
So I recently bought the Fisher F-Pule in the hopes that it would provide better range to coin-type targets, but either overload at the same point as the Garrett Carrot or at a point that's closer to the probe's tip. Based on air testing so far, it looks like it will do that job. You can see my results in the below pic.
Notice how the F-Pulse gives the same sensitivity on a copper coin when on medium sensitivity (while the Carrot is on max sensitivity), yet overloads or "bottoms out" at almost the same point the Carrot Carrot does on medium sensitivity.
And when the F-Pulse is on the lowest sensitivity, it has the same range as the Carrot on medium sensitivity, yet won't overload until the target is far closer to the probe's tip (when compared to the Carrot on medium sensitivity).
I still need to test the F-Pulse on my soil, but I don't anticipate the real world results differing much from these air tests. Oh, and my Garrett Carrot has the same performance, whether running with a 9v batter or 3 AAA batteries and my voltage booster.
