  1. phrunt, Do you think we'll be able to change out the plug and use our older GPX 5000 coils...ML, NF & CT that some of us have sitting in the closet?🤔 Bill
  2. Hey Steve, while reviewing the iron check feature I took a look at the Axiom manual: Note: Iron Check is a conservative function. To help ensure Axiom does not misidentify a good target as iron, the iron tone (buzz) will only activate on strong signals. Examples: 3" nail to a depth of about 5" and 3/4" boot nail to a depth of about 2". Steel bottle caps will typically not identify as iron. Did you have a chance to validate the Iron Check function, seems similar to the GPX 5000 capabilities, and what are your thoughts? Bill
  3. Hey phrunt, I'm also looking for the NF 12" x 7", any idea when they will be available? Thanks, Bill
  4. Jason, I thoroughly enjoy reading the in-depth posts you write and discoveries made in pounded patches. I also enjoy the light-weight GPX 6000, that's why I traded in my GPZ. Those CC coils on the GPZ are impressive, almost makes me want to go back to the GPZ.😂 Looks like you're in the salty NNV??? Bill
  5. stateguy, If you need one, Gigmaster is selling his on FB: Got a Fisher Impulse for sale! 2 batteries included looking for a good offer! Email me at gigmaster2718@gmail.com! Used about 6 times. Excellent working condition! Located in Va Beach area of Virginia!
  6. WOW, what a great test. Glad I have one on order. https://www.youtube.com/c/PaystreakSuperfreak/about
  7. Wow Jason, great post and love your pimped-out ATV! So your swinging the GPX 6000 now...yep a truly easy, lightweight, gold-finding detector and I love mine. Was wondering if that monster nugget Gerry posted from AZ in 2021 was found by you???😮 Bill
  8. TVR, Yes I read and acknowledged the Fisher Disclosure letter. My issue is that Fisher States in their letter that: "Experienced beach hunters have rigorously tested the Impulse in multiple beach environments since 2009. The Impulse AQ Limited is engineered, manufactured and tested to be fully compliant with the demanding requirements of this application and environment. The Impulse AQ is not a prototype or pre-production metal detector". I'll say it again: Bill
  9. Latest post on Fisher Labs Impulse AQ FB page from Alexandre Tartar: The IMPULSE AQ units are part of a limited series of 100 pieces. This series allowed us not to rush off into a worldwide series and to see what could be improved. We can see that there are a lot of problems with our competitors with waterproof devices. Unfortunately there are many detectors on the market and the number of returns is catastrophic. Here we have modified the mechanics, removed the cables. We have upgraded the electronic board so that it can be mass produced avec a good board adjustement. We have improved the electromagnetic shielding of the detector and improved its behavior in seawater. Regarding "discrimination", there has been no change. It's always an iron reject setting. So, I spent $1,800+ to be a tester, so "they could see what could be improved" Are you kidding me! Bill
  10. The biggest problem I have with the AQ is those tiny fragile M-8 connectors on the battery, headphone and that cable. It's a 1/4" OD fitting with 4 or 5 micro-sized pins. Surely the unit Le Jag was using in France did not use those fragile fittings on his remote battery setup. FTP engineers (Carl) must have been laughing & rolling on the floor when they saw this design...have you seen the way detectorists handle their equipment with their mountain-man & woman hands and over-tightening knobs & threads? Spend a few more bucks and do it right! Right now I'm trying to find a mod to fix this, Bill
  11. I've only been in one Group Session and I was not a resident in the facility, but this thread reminds me of that meeting. I love the new Multi Frequency detector technology, XP Deus II looks amazing and I have one on pre-order. I sold several detectors in 2021 and gave away some to a friend because I NEVER used them! I just can't help myself, my name is Bill and I'm a detector hoarder.LOL😁 OK, maybe I'll make some space for the new toy, we'll think about it, maybe sell some gold detectors, closet queens, IDK. Bill
  12. Gerry, which Predator shovel do you use...model 56 - Spartan - D handle or? Predator makes great tools. Bill
  13. Great interview video by Grant Hansen from XP USA, answered alot of my questions . Bill
  14. Hey Tom, any update on your Gold Fox trommel. Been looking at their products and contacted Kelly yesterday with some volume questions...the 5" Deluxe model can process 3/4 tons of material per hour, more than enough for 1-2 folks working hard. Are you primarily working heavy clay material or sand & cobbles? How long does it run before the battery slows it down with a 7 amp draw on one 2200 pump? Thanks, Bill
  15. Got my pre-order in, can't wait to use the new Deus II with new audio and waterproof bonephones!😀 Bill
  16. Now Steve has me interested in the Deus II and I can't wait to hear his thoughts on this new detector from XP with the new audio features...something I struggled with in the Deus model. Maybe Kickindirt can tell us more? Bill
  17. Gerry, had a great time at my 4th training class. Met many guys on DP, had lots of fun with Chet and Tom. Learned some new techniques from you and even found good gold late Sun. near the parking area. If you never been to Gerry’s class, you’re missing out.
  18. Hey Lucky, nice gold! I'm heading out to meet Gerry at RP. Any recommendations for the wet NNV soils, since we don't have a smaller GPX 6000 coil? Thanks, Bill
  19. Gerry, I'll be staying in a Winnemucca RV park with full hookups and can charge a few batteries for the class. Bill
  20. Mungass, Great gold and nice pics from Australia. I love the Ozpig stove & grill/cooker...watched their video, wish we could get it here in the USA, only available overseas!☹️ Bill
  21. Joe, I sent you a PDF paper with PT instructions from my local podiatrist. Enjoy, Bill
  22. Brian, Welcome to the GPX-6000 Club...I knew you would get one after seeing it in action! Bill
  23. I'm with WesD, traded-in my 7000 with 19" coil and an X-coil. Received my 6000 from Gerry last week....WOW is all I can say. My body and right arm will thank me this year!😀 Bill
  24. Hey Lunk, WTG breaking in that shiny, new GPX 6000 with fast gold! Must have gotten those trainees blood flowing. What are the gloves you are wearing...something for carpal tunnel syndrome? Bill
