Hi there, I'm new to this.

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between a PI metal detector and a VLF metal detector?

A VLF or very low frequency detector usually has two coils one to transmit the other to recieve. There comes a time when too much power is applied to the transmit coil that problems occur and instabiblity sets in.

A Pulse induction machine only has one coil normally and high currents can be applied to this when in a transmit mode creating a nuge magnetic field.  Any metal in the ground is therefore detected at much deeper depths when a target is located by the same coil which now acts as a reciever.  This is only a very brief reply without going into technical details.

If you want a more detailed account why dont you google it and see what you find there are plenty of reports around if you look.
