Thank you for the full explanations! I purchased the bone conduction headphones and found my head is too big for the and I never came close to understanding its full potential. I went with aftermarket headphones for my water hunts. I just ordered the WSA2CL today to use on land and very shallow water.

Yesterday, I spoke to a guy who helped me decide on purchasing my Deus II in August. He asked me if I'd tried the Relic program on the beach? I hadn't but gave it a quick test and it was much different than I was used to with my normal Beach setting. He said it is now the only program he uses in the saltwater sand of eastern North Carolina. He showed me a nice silver necklace he found that day. I wonder if this is something to test further or if any of you have used this with success?

What Waterproof Headphones Are You Water Hunters Using?
Ferrous Grump replied to Dan(NM)'s topic in XP Deus II Forum
I'd like to know how to change them over, I have an extra pair of Grey Ghost CTX -
First Hunt With The AQ
Ferrous Grump replied to schoolofhardNox's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
Oh MY! A few weeks ago I pocketed 50 bottle caps from surface and Equinox. I was digging all signals. Thank you for cleaning up whatever area you hunted! After seeing this, I agree with Joe that the water and early winter is the spot for the AQ -
Who Has The Impulse Aq?
Ferrous Grump replied to Ferrous Grump's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
I am guessing the next logical shipment of the next AQ or 2 will go to Florida. ...if not there already. -
My Plans? Beach nourishment has been recently completed to almost all local ocean side beaches within the past 4 years. Aside from fresh drops, the unsettled sand allows heavy targets to sink fast. The waves on most days give me a beating if I try to venture out. So with the AQ, I plan to hunt the shallow water and hit a few swimming holes within the Intracoastal Waterway. Sting Ray a.k.a.

Cell Phone And The AQ
Ferrous Grump replied to Joe Beechnut OBN's topic in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics
That is certainly good to know while detecting close to today's sun worshipers! My CTX will sound off when lightening is near. -
Thank you ALEXANDRE TARTAR for taking the time to demonstrate both good and bad targets. So silver & gold necklace laying straight will certainly give a different tone from an iron wire. I realize a copper wire will give off a strong non-ferrous tone. I look forward to more questionable targets such as bottlecap, pulltabs and lead. Again, I would expect they will force me to dig to positively identify.

I want everyone to know about the great service & advice I have received from Steve's Detector Rods! Yes there are other replacement rod companies out there but I can tell you that "steveg" stands by his product 100%. I had an issue with one of his older shafts. The bolt started to rust. As soon as Steve found out, he ordered a higher grade stainless and sent me one free of charge! On my couter-weighted Equinox shaft, I dropped it and busted the counter-weight off and Steve as soon as I contacted Steve about purchasing a replacement, he sent it out that day! He is very easy to communicate issues or questions and I can't say enough good things for how he has helped me out!

I admit, I was disappointed (just a wee bit) about your report of it picking up bottle caps and hair pins. With my first PI (Sand Shark) I could usually tell a wire or hair pin but dug them anyway expecting a chain. Bottle caps are a big issue on the beaches I hunt. The good thing is they don't sink deep before being extracted by someone! Thank you Steve for your honest, easy to understand review and I hope your surgery went great! Get well soon!

I have been lurking in the various threads about this machine for quite awhile! It has been very frustrating with the on again, off again production release. I must say that Fisher did not send out any Minelab type hype media as a teaser and for that I congratulate them. Yes, I have watched the YouTube Impulse videos but it didn't appear to be a Fisher promotion only examples of performance. Although I am reluctant to dive into something new on the market, it is my hope this machine will be a joy to use along the Atlantic beach coastline. I rarely hunt more than 3 hours before needing a break and the waves are usually too strong for me to jump in deeper than knee level. I threw my name into the hat and hope to be part of the lucky group of USA first users!

Wireless Search Stops After "wi-stream" Search
Ferrous Grump replied to Ferrous Grump's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
Yes and same problem. Recently, it is working as it should. Just a quirky occurrence. -
Wireless Search Stops After "wi-stream" Search
Ferrous Grump posted a topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
On occasion, when connecting my Equinox to wireless headphones (either Minelab or SoundPeats), my machine will run the 15 second search with the WI-stream and then stops searching. The Bluetooth symbol does not appear. It just runs using the external speaker. Today, I was going to record this problem before sending it in for repair. Of course it is now working. So could it be possibly a problem with being on the beach? There is much more EMI where I am staying. -
Equinox 800 Testing Gold And Ferrous With Update 2.0
Ferrous Grump replied to Detectorist AU's topic in Minelab Equinox Forum
At the end of your video, you showed how to set FE & FE2 settings(7:20ish mark). You did this in Park 1 and then went to Gold 2 mode. My understanding is that the FE2 setting is local. Here is what the ML manual states: Iron Bias adjustment is local; only the current Detect Mode Search Profile will be affected by changes to this Advanced Setting. -
From Russia eh? Any mention to who they selected for the USA in 2020? I seriously wish the update will allow mode selection to backward and not 7 clicks to go back to previous mode. Wishful thinking. Solid target ID would be very helpful
