Very nice setup and it is in your back yard...👍...You can really learn a lot about a detector doing testing and playing with the settings in a test garden ...... Good Luck! I've had a swing arm (air) test bed for many years. Although not as nice as yours I've learned so much about my machines and target responses. My favorite testing has been head phones and how to get the most out of them, audio wise.

Best production headphones I've ever used....., So much I recommended to Fisher they sell them as aftermarket headphones.. they are that good. Blows away every aftermarket and private set made for use at the beach and diving. Thank You Alexandre !! And for the details above...On the New World Version Impulse "AQ"

The door is open as far as I know for the Limited version, I would contact them ASAP. I know of three who ordered/purchased last week. Arturo Barrientos.................... service-fisherlab@fisherlab.com We have more of the Fisher Impulse now available. If interested to purchase please let me know. The pricing is below.

I've tested, No performance gain due to the small amount cut off....18 inches a VLF and if I remember correct a subject over on (Findmall) Technology forum many years ago ....... Only gain I have found ....... less chance of the cable moving or exposure to the conditions, with I have tried several different things, one was running the coil cable thru the shaft.. .. and exact length needed. (both pictured) I love going thru and reading the old Findmall post with Eric, Wire Chief, Mr Bill, Reg...etc.. The capacitance and the resistance of the coil cable has to be taken into consideration as a total value of the coil.Depending on the exact particulars, chopping off a lot of cable would change the way the electronics looks at the coil. Adding length would affect it also.Now in reality I have chopped fairly good sized amounts off of cables in order to permanently pole mount the electronics box. The need to get rid of excess cable length was there. I have not noticed a drop off in performance, although it could happen depending on the unit.Mr. Bill Re: Coil Cable - straight or spiralled? Frank Hamill Date: August 19, 2002 08:43AM One addition thing. In the other two PI's I owned in the water the currents of the ocean along with swinging against the resistance of the water cause the coil wire to move...when the coil wire would move the units would give target signals which were not there. After Terry told me about running the wire straight up it still moved in the currents. So I split malt straws and put them one by one around the straight up coil wire and taped them lightly...Falsing of that "type" stopped. A users answer to the problem. However this coil on the Goldquest SS does not need the straws as you put the connection next to the rod connection and straight up is no problem as the distance between the rod and the connection is mere nothing. On my other PI's the distance between connection and rod was several inches and allowed the movement of the coil which caused falsing. From a users standpoint who goes in the water this is a great feature that is needed to be put into coils that are used underwater. Thank you again....Frank Coil Cable - straight or spiralled? Eric Foster Date: August 19, 2002 04:19AM Hi Frank and Larry, Good to hear reports of the units performing well. There are always some surprises that come back from the field, though. Why running the coil wire straight up the pole rather than spiralled around, should make a difference to the field pattern has me puzzled. One of the properties of coax cable is that there is no external field generated by the cable. Does winding the cable clockwise give a different result to it being anti-clockwise? How is this change in field pattern manifested? Do other detectors show this problem? Eric. Re: Shorter coil cable question. Eric Foster Date: May 10, 2005 05:34PM Hi Tommy, Shouldn't affect it at all, as the capacitance of the coil/cable circuit will be reduced. Eric.

I won't be making them for sales. Just me playing around. The Excalibur battery pictured ran for 4 days straight (106 hours) but it runs Hot, (4 18650 Samsung 3500mAh 16.8) which I am afraid might not be good on some days or machines. So Another one with 26650 batteries is planned but lower voltage. Steve sent me his extra EBL 5000mAh, so a 3 cell will be next but with the big batteries, 12.6 volts.

Smoked that hunt! Nice yellows!

Looks like a great time out! Mini tsunami, know them well in the Northern part of the Bay, I've heard down in the lower part of the bay the subs coming thru really throw a good one.

Audio is extremely loud on the AQ then add in my head phones (105 to 117db) So much nicer being able to edit when I swinging the scoop around or I am digging and there is some shallow targets near the coil.

I Fully agree "Carolina"..

Out of the 27 golds, 7 to 9 may have been found with my Excalibur. I use the AQ and Excal about 50/50 based on location. But when I go thru a spot there is nothing and I know there is gold. The AQ gets the call, and it produces. During the same time period of the 27 AQ gold the Excalibur got 15, but at different beaches... I'm Blessed in the ability of choosing the right machine and putting myself in the right spot. The AQ has increased my chances of finding Gold ... worthy of purchasing another. Here is the perfect example of a spot I've had guys tell me, don't bring me back here...reason, lack of targets and for that reason it was the first stop for my testing of the AQ.. Out of 4 hunts there last summer the AQ scored 2 gold rings and one gold medallion. After that I knew I was in Love.. (And my offer is still there if anyone wants to go with me this coming summer to this location)

I still love mine, a good time to pick up another. 27 gold with the machine I got from Rick last year covered the price of both. Got to Love this Hobby, and the " Fisher Impulse AQ" ......... Come on Summer. Second picture is the battery I made for the New AQ, has a audio cut off. And a Excalibur battery...I was expecting 60 hours from it but looks closer to 100+ hours .. same batteries on the AQ last 5.5 hours.

I no longer make them... I might suggest hard wiring and specially for anyone diving.

Looks like a fun time! Nice saves on the Silver! Love finding it........ I'm guessing, did Jim get a chance with the AQ? I have to apologize to him, I was suppose to send him some settings...

No clue why they went with the regular ears on the 8 inch............... Both are fine with me, both work as they should with no problems here. The fact you get a lower rod with the 8 is a Big plus...disconnect the coil fitting from the main housing....flip the lever...pull out the rod .... set aside, line up the new coil and rod....slide in, close latch......connect coil fitting to the housing....DONE>>> how easy is that... 😍 The big coils ears stay the same on the New Production model, as far as I know.

Just my opinion...It has all the characteristic of a small coil. Depth is above normal for it's size but still shy of the big coil. If your hunting difficult water it's a much better choice. And I only use the AQ because it is Deep...So the bigger coil is my favorite. If I remember correct, on a buried yard stick nickel I could get it at 15 .. faint at 16.. all metal, which is very good for it's size And it does come with it's own rod so changing coils is very easy.

Same here Cuda, Sorry to hear.. and maybe the first I've heard with this issue. Maybe the headphones? ..the power cable?..or a leak? Leaks seem to work like that... "it was fine the last time but now...it no longer works" . Anyway, they have a great machine if it's working correct .... Quality control .... is the issue. Keep us informed,, Thanks

Nice looking band! You maybe able to get more for that one too. Anything religious seems to sell for a lot more then melt. I got a scoop almost like that one, a friend made for me several years ago. It was one of the first he made.. Diablo scoops. See if I can find a picture..

You are on Fire!! Amazing what happens when a little sand moves..👍

That's a Nice chunk of Gold!

Tony did I see one of your batteries with a LED volt meter? If so I was wondering how it held up.

Wow! Those are the right targets for finding gold. right down to the valve stem cover.

Good to see some AQ yellow posted! Good Luck and Hope to see more!

Amen to that! Come on summer. Now that is Love for sure!

One thing about the beach. anything is possible. Sadly it's stamped NET WT 1.00 OZ and only weights in at 24.5 grams I wonder if a real one would bend easy...being .9999 Good Luck, got to be a real .9999 out there some where..

Love the Red Stone! Always a nice addition to the collection!
