They may only have a few available and went by the previous list. Your number may still be called. But e mailing them may be a better option. If you are still interested, let them know it.

Thanks I did.

No emails here. I guess I was dropped of the list.

 I thought we had it bad digging clay and hard pack shells.  Congrats on the two Gold rings.

For those in doubt it was Joe. He's recovering and should be home soon. I let him tell the rest.

Mike

Looks like some old Gold there. Congratulations on two nice ones.

Great way to get to know your machine. Thanks for posting your settings.  It should help others still waiting, including myself with the learning curve.

Nice way to "ring" in the New Year. Congratulations on the Gold and Ice.

Congratulations on two nice rings. Keep them coming.

Mike im not sure thats a bad thing.  Had you been able to transfer that warranty .... now theres a deal enticer.  Plus the machine seems to be constantly changing for the better.

Dew definitely would want the warranty. I already have everything for the battery mod for the limited might have to use it on another detector if I can't get that version. If I get the production model I'll be doing a different mod for that version to fit my needs.

Still on the list for the Limited. At least I think I still am. I'm not sure how many are out there or how many they're going to make. The way things are going the production model will be out before my number comes up.

Nice save Bob. I like seeing those small gold rings come up. The next one might just be that money ring with the rare stones.

WTG Pirate, two nice ones. If we get all that snow Wednesday that will really drop the temps.

Some nice finds there. Nice video. I see he's using a detached control head in the video?

Congrats on a nice ring.

Congrats on your first and second AQ Gold. Great eyeball find. Maybe I need to start wearing my glasses more.

Way to go Pirate.That wind was whipping. I almost lost my hat before I got a chance to put my headphones on.

Congratulations on the silver, the bay is sure hard on it. We had a nice low tide yesterday. I feel your pain with the leaks. I need a new drysuit this year. I got soaked yesterday.

Smaller coil will help with the sweep speed.

Well, here I sit - recovering from some minor surgery - the sitting part made more difficult - no more details available....

Today I had Fisher ship the 25th AQ LTD. If I had any idea why it is so infernally slow of them to ship the darned things, I probably couldn’t share the details....but the fact that they give me no useful information about such things means that I am spared the decision on what to disclose.

Mostly folks who have them are learning what they are good for and the consensus is - I think - that like any other detector - they are not good for EVERYTHING. Happily, the consensus also seems to be that they are amazing for a range of interesting and useful things. You can all read about all this elsewhere here.

For me, I am patiently tending my “waiting list” now about 45 or so. Whether FTP will eventually furnish enough machines to clear the list is not known to me, but I am optimistic.

I am surprised, pleased and grateful that the majority of folks on my list are unbelievably patient and polite - You all have my thanks. I am VERY happy that I didn’t go in for “pre orders” “pre payments” of “deposits”. Had I done som my life would be a bookkeeping hell (thank you Steve for good advice!).

When the LTD is done and the “Unlimited” is available, I expect and hope to be one of the dealers for this. In fact, I pretty much feel like I am “all in” for the whole Impulse line.

The Gold is busily in work. Prototypes will be fielded for test and when the time is right it will be “inshallah” introduced. I have bought a new SDC2300 and a nice used Gold Bug 2 to play with in getting ready for the Gold. In the meantime - I bought myself another AQ LTD and am demanding (for that that is worth) to be early on line for an 8” coil to play with the AQ inland - running its paces against the “trial ponies” - all to educate me for the Gold.

Meanwhile, I sit here in Gold Canyon - seeing no-one. I have a couple of “strikes against me” and I am a bit of a “health pessimist” and so the slightest hint of the plague would be extremely unwelcome.

I look forward to next year when we hopefully do more and be more engaged.

 

Heal up quick Rick. I expect you have been bombarded with emails on the current AQ LTD list. I just patiently wait for updates hoping to see one in the near future.

Nice hunt, Congrats on the Silver and Gold. Thanks for posting your settings I'm taking notes for when I get one.

Nice job Cliff, congrats on the Gold. By this time next year the AQ users will start looking like body builders. I hope Fisher keeps increasing their output.  I'm looking forward to getting a good workout.
