Joe, I thought I herd something that the reason why they didn’t come up with a better waterproof AQ was because of how the machine gets warm. Don’t know if there any truth too that

Is that’s what wrong with mine the pot I lose the threshold at times and tap behind the control box and sometimes it comes back. 
 

Where were you guys on his list. 
I am waiting to here from him

I agree with dancer , couple of guy dunk it in the water whippy  
want to see someone hunt with it in the water for a period of time.  
not really sure how many machines are out there. 
think Minelab only handing them out if you have a utube channel
 

Bklein I suggest you try the test outside with less interference 

Just so you know mine is done on air test. 
also Factory batteries. 
How did you wrap your detector for shipping ( what did you take off and what did you send to them). I assume no battery 

bklein I am getting 16v on one other 15.??v on the other. 
as you know and everyone else I am only getting 13 in on a nickel. Super Faint. 
Merry Christmas 

Can you give us some information on depth on targets you find

and do you plan on summerging the machine underwater. 

It’s seemed to me she knows more about the machine and function. 
But they should put that machine in the water. 
Also more air depth tests so we can see how deep it accurately identify targets 

That’s all I am getting with mine. 
But I think your supposed to get 16 maybe more. 

So what going to better about a new equinox. That it will not leak version 

Today I noticed on an air test I don’t here a faint target on the perimeter of the coil. 
I here a faint target in the center of the coil where it attaches to the lower rod. 
when it’s a surface target(loud target) I here it on the outside perimeter of the coil. 
is this normal. 
how do you guys have your coil cable coming off the coil to the lower rod. 
is it tight (straight) or do you have slack. 
I am trying to understand and learn this machine. But I still have not gotten a good deep target over a foot. 
Today I used the whites tdi pulse scan and got a deep target. Had to remove 2-3 inches of sand before the AQ herd it  
it was a clad nickel. Depth unknown guess 12-14 in

I thought first Texas own fisher. I didn’t know they were separate companies. 
Can you tell us what fisher said to you

Thanks for posting what he said. I going to call them. 
Are there serial numbers on these machines and do you happen to know where there located 

Can you let us know what they said. 
I feel mine not working right either

I hit the same Cartier ring in white gold. 
mine only has the name and 750 no serial number and weighs basically the same. 
I believe the same thing it fake cause of the weight. 
my gold tester pen dried up so it’s not working 

I own one only used it a hand full of times. 
I don’t want to submerge the control box so I only used it were I have a lot of wet sand( tide goes out real far) not the oceans. And if i wade in the water I don’t do deep and try using it on negative tides. 
I am only getting a real faint air test of 13in we’re other are getting 16-19 in. 
this one beach I tried using it at I haven’t gotten one good deep targets. I no there targets there beach another guy using a tdi sl and he digging like a backhoe he shows me tad bit of what he found and also claims to be digging some false target and junk also. I know he has to be finding gold But the holes he digging he could place an order for lunch if u know what I mean. I own the barracuda and dual field so have some experience with pulse induction 
I have it set up with the settings where others have told me to use it even higher and the threshold is not steady etc. I really value Joe Beachnut opinion about machines and have to try more with it. After Labor Day I will have to try a some more with it when there not checking for town I’d. 
I wish I knew someone who had one and could test mine out to see if it’s working right. 
 

Look like a very professional job you did

keep us in the loop how it working and the battery life

What did you guys use for the bottom of the coil

So leave the connector attached to the control box

i disconnected my to air dry. Because mine falses every time water touched that connector 

Went wading in the water today  I noticed if water splashes onto the coil connector it false (saltwater)  the slightest bit of water touched the connector it would false   

I wet my fingers with the salt water and touched the connector and it false.   I put the pulse delay all the way up brought up the ats up  changed modes

i did not dunk the control box

I have not tried it with freshwater 

also my pulse delay nob spins all the way around and doesn’t stop at 11 is that normal.   it does click on every number 

Well what do you guys get on nickel air test

Was wondering if someone can tell me if I have my machine set right

i place a US nickel at 12 in the dry sand and barely herd a signal

settings are

all metal 

volume- all the way 9

senstivity-7-8

threshold barley here it around 6

ats at 0 

reject at 0

pulse delay 7-7.5

now I saw joe video with him doing air test and he was getting close to 19 in

was wondering what other hunters are getting with there machine on a air test

everything is stock. Headphones, battery 

I also know that a pulse air test isn’t the actual depth. I am just comparing mine to joe video and was wondering what everyone else is getting 

When does the AQ starting to false 

when on the wet sand

coil is just covered with water

when in 2-3 of water

Clive, I see you have a tdi pro in your arsenal 

I know the pro isn’t waterproof but have you ever found  any DEEP gold rings with it on the beach

i am wondering how this AQ compares to a whites tdi pro on depth. I know it all depends on condition and the user etc etc . But just trying to get a idea how deep this AQ goes
I have dug some deep targets in All Metal with the tdi I bet 20 24 in ( coins and rings). Problem with the whites tdi it’s so unstable for me and not waterproof 

I am thinking about buying a used AQ. So I can wade in the water

any information you can give appreciated
