  1. Cascade, here is probably the best article written on the subject by Gerry McMullen. Bill
  2. OG, great info on the AQ issues. I'm hoping if and when I get the AQ limited, it will be the updated version OBN has been testing with better battery placement, improved headphones, volume switch issues resolved, etc.πŸ˜ƒ I don't want the"original" model, now that improvements have been implemented. Bill
  3. Great conversation and info. One of the reasons I contacted ML USA was because of all the manual "vagueness/weakness" on Ground Balance, which was the #1 issue for me...if you don't have excellent GB, you will miss alot of gold! I asked the ML experts on the phone in Australia to send out a Knowledge Based article on GB and nothing, nothing, nothing has been sent to GPZ customers! But not for JP, we would be totally lost & frustrated.πŸ˜• This is the #1 reason (totally frustrated) I sold my GPZ and "on the list" for the GPX-6000. Bill
  4. Alexandre, That's GREAT NEWS for me as I'm #7 on the waiting list for the next batch of AQ Limited!πŸ˜€ Bill
  5. Lunk, can you provide a link to the speaker you're using? Probably better than a hot headphone in Summer. Thanks, Bill
  6. Supposedly #7 from their last release. LOL, I figured the same thing and sent Rick K. the question. Joe Beechnut love's his AQ Limited, not the best in trashy areas since it's a PI. Would be nice to have some answers from Fisher.
  7. I'm still #7 on the list for the AQ Limited and tried to ask if they were still being produced...no answer! Bill
  8. Jason, All I know is when ML was getting ready to release the GPZ, Steve H. had already sold his other gold detectors so he had space for the new ML flagship detector. Well here we go again. Steve H. sold his GPZ and is awaiting the GPX 6000. Maybe he knows something or has secret contacts "in the know". I'm on the pre-order list too and trading in my GPZ, but I don't follow Steve H.....πŸ˜€ I also noticed recently there are more detectors listed in the Classified section. Bill
  9. I just watched the FB live program on Treasure Talk. The new AQ will be released this summer, will have a depth rating of 10', an accessory 8" coil, and will cost $2,800 - $3,500! Bill Fisher Impulse AQ Data & Reviews
  10. Gerry, your GPX pic "Says it all"! The decision process is easy peasy. Bill
  11. Maybe it's because the GPZ 7000 has that massive 19" DOD coil that goes 40% deeper and most people can't lift it...that makes it better than the GPX 6000 on large, deep gold!πŸ˜‚ You just can't compare small coils to large coils on large, deep gold and the ML chart doesn't tell us the details we are looking for. I just want to know when ML will release folks like JP and US dealers from their NDAs, so we can finally have some truth and answers to some of our basic questions??? Bill
  12. The 6000 will be at the Quartzsite Gold Show 12 - 14 Feb. Someone needs to be there to ask questions.πŸ˜€
  13. Lunk, great review of the 6000 design concepts, which will simplify the operators decisions while detecting. The 5000 has way too many adjustments that make the operator second guess their settings. We just want to find gold!πŸ˜€
  14. I’m one of Gerry’s older customers trading in the GPZ for the 6000. Lighter, ergonomic, and no wires, bungee and harness for this 64 y.o. nugget hunter. πŸ˜€ Bill
  15. OK JP, I surrender to the NF Z-Search 12" coil and have been placed on Rob's list....some are coming to the USA, no ETA yet. The coil does appear to perform better, quieter, more stable, less touch sensitive, etc. than the 14" x 13" GPZ coil. It will compliment my stable of GPX NF coils, which are fantastic and have found gold everywhere I've used them. After all, when you have spent $10K+ USD on the GPZ and coils, what's another $1K+? Merry Christmas JP and everyone on DP, Bill
  16. Yes I read his impressions, also highlighted "because I sell this product" and since I already have a 15" x 10" X-coil, it's still not worth $1,295 AUD for me in my quiet NNV ground. Maybe Chris Goulson will import some Z Search coils into the USA and I'll look at another size, when they are available.
  17. I would need to see a video test comparison between the GPZ 14" coil vs NF Z Search 12" coil before dropping $1,295 AUD. "That's just because we haven't received any of the coils to test out yet, so we haven't had a chance to do our own comparison. In Nuggetfinder's words "Our primary goal when developing this coil was to produce a lighter option for the GPZ 7000 without compromising stability or performance when compared with the Factory 14”x13”. Prospectors seeking significant depth and sensitivity gains should be advised to wait for other size options to be released at a later date." No benefit, except a lighter weight coil, from everything I've seen on the Aussie forums and FB. Bill
  18. Why do you need to send your's back? Seems like there may be a QC problem? Bill
  19. Great gold finds! What's going on with your AQ headphones? I'm awaiting my AQ and was wondering what to look for.... Bill
  20. Steve, I'm surprised First Texas did not include coil cable wrapping/securing instructions for water hunting, to prevent cable movement and noise problems. Jim Pugh noticed the problem in FL. right away. Bill
  21. Joe, well if you have any extra shorty or big batteries, I'll take one. If not, put me on the list for the next round of batteries. Thanks for all you do for the "rest of us". Bill
  22. Hey Joe, can I be on the list for the big EBL 26650 battery setup. FYI I have 8 EBLs on-hand. Bill
  23. Joe, so you are getting 5 hours and 30 minutes run time on the 4 EBL 26650? Glad I ordered 8 of those EBLs! I'm interested in buying your waterproof setup for my future AQ Limited. Let me know and great finds with your "new" modified AQ. Bill
