Fisher Impulse AQ (unlimited model) release date and cost data

Do you have one? This is what I was told from one of the testers. Look at some Vids on youtube and ask yourself why their holding the coil off the ground.

In fact, find me a test Vid where the user is sweeping with ground contact.

If your holding yours on the ground how much did you have to de-tune it?

PS this is a random vid pulled off YouTube and NOT the tester I have talked to!

So not impressed with the AQ after seeing this video! For the Equinox to be able to hit on a target that the AQ can not makes it a "NO GO" for me, not that the talk of a hefty price tag didn't already put me off.

If you notice at the 11:00 time stamp, Gig had his sensitivity pretty low on the AQ, most likely why he wasn't hitting that target..
 
Season

Felix thanks for that video, i am not impressed , as if i got this machine , i would run it in the off season, were if there was deep gold , the machine would get it , the disc being off explains the junk targets he got , but being all metal shallow targets the AQ could not here like the Equinox does is a concern , even if the sensitivity was cut back , in no way shape or form , i am willing to pay much more than 1500 as shown, still doesn't show performance , or quality for what my Equinox would pull at the beach including Gold Chains that other machines won't here , hopefully more videos will arise from testers along with other machines for comparison like this video, because my final thoughts from seeing this video , NO Smoking gun , I would think i would have a better time swinging my Equinox & 15 coil along with the DF , with cash in my pocket , I need to see more , 1500 for that , is questionable from seeing that in my opinion :shock::no::aok: The brakes are on , watching :stop::yikes:

That was not a shallow target there Surfmaster, it was a small deep target..Gig is inexperienced with the AQ in this video and his settings may need to be adjusted for maximum depth. But your right though, you shouldn't buy this detector, it will just collect dust in your collection..;)
 
Slim

Didn't hunt to much last year , new boat, new bike , plan on hunting more this year , have alot of toys , low milage , sorry bro , just the way it is , retired & have no boss , still enjoy getting out , when I do , I watch his videos that target that the AQ didn't pick up , didn't look deep to me, everyone has there own opinion, Felix that video link u posted , I clicked so you get credit , I need to see more on this machine , so far , just not enough to pay higher than 1500 , and more test with other detector's must show a Shining Star for me to purchase , maybe OBN will come over here a few days , I'll run the Df against his AQ , I'll let him show me what he hits more than me , I bet not much more with a 700 buck machine .

Bring both the Nox and DF. Maybe I can get down by May.

That was Gigs first outing with the AQ, can't blame him on how well it performed. The factory settings are good for beginners but they are like a rope around the "AQ"s neck.

The secret to the AQ is knowing what it is capable of, Knowing how to use it, and where to use it.

Felix... its a pulse what bothers me he how this thing was built up as the best of the best its not even close... I have a friend with the TDI beach hunter that does better than anyone with this AQ and I am going to leave it at that...

With the failure rate this new detector has if I was to get another pulse it would be what was on the market before this thing came out... I know how to hunt with a pulse as I started with them.. I don't need an extra 2 inches to find deep bottle caps or whatever...

What the gigmaster was finding is typical for a pulse... I don't miss pulse hunting anymore... especially the spots I hunt...
 
I remember some of the early hype and video's of " it's the only discriminating PI detector out there". Well , from what I understand now is YOU , the operator , decides on whether you want to dig or not. That's how you discriminate ! 🤣🤣 But OBN is hunting in a giant goldfish bowl with few hunters. I hope I do see a bunch out here. For they will be moving very slow. And let's not forget the other 10-20 hunters EVERYDAY during the summer ! 🤣🤣🤣

And such was the early hype of the Whites TDI too : FINALLY a PI that can reject nails. Woohoo ! The best of all worlds, right ? Wohoo ! But the devil was in the details: That the moment you avail yourself of the control tweeks and audio tricks to pass nails, then guess what ? You're left with no-more-depth than a standard coin machine. So what's the point ?

I suppose someone could say that *at least*, with a PI, you can enter in to a heavy-black-sand-salt zone, that shuts down standard machines. Hence ... the debate goes on. Thus, yes there's times I'd love to have had a PI. But the downsides (for my beaches at least) have always outweighed the up-sides of a standard machine. But that could be a geographic locale specific issue.

If you get a pulse.. you better get a real scoop :lol:

I will deny I said this, but here goes : On a recent pass-through in So. CA (following on the heels of a beach erosion episode), I hit a few of their beaches. And I was AMAZED at the black sand covering large swaths. There were places that I bet I was only getting 3" depth (and lots of audio blare, blah blah). I had to move out of those zones, down closer to the surf, to get out of the black.

And it wasn't just "by the gully washes". It was in long stretches over the whole beach. I could immediately see why someone would desire a pulse, in cases like that.

Yet on the other hand, if erosion had gone down to insane results (such that it's like shooting fish in a barrel), then I can see how someone would NOT want a machine that's prone to a weakness on iron (since, in those cases, speed is the name of the game).

But as I say, this concession will be "our little secret". Right ? :aok:
 
Obn/cfm-ct

OBN , You can come down, Craig can come down to with the his friends TDI , you guys can be bunk buddies in a queen bed :laughing: , besides i would like to see him hunt on my beaches in the white sand & see if he can find gold , he has to show empty pockets 1st :lol: , ill even let him use a real scoop , so he doesn't say we have an edge howboughtit :jawdrop::hornetsnest::detector::kingdances::pirates: PS If you all don't find gold , been looking at lots down in DEWCON country :shock::lol:

Empty their pockets ? Ha !!! These guys are waaaaay ahead of you. They are pro's. You are going to have to perform a cavity search.
 
Salt water ..... as i always say.... its all equal out there. Xcal is still the standard to which others are judged IMO. I agree Tom.... there has to be a greater upside to using a PI. Here in Fl some use um, but not as a daily machines since a lot of our stuff is recent drops we are chasing. You arent getting it all and you accept that..... so dont expect to with a PI either. Im not curious enough anymore to dig a lot of IRON either.... especially at 19" out there. I think the upside.... and at the end of the day ... most days here is good coverage and more water.
