In a past post you mentioned coils, as in a primary  and an optional coil.  Do you know yet about the optional coil(s) size? 

It has been mentioned that an 8” coil has been tested on the prospecting version of the Impulse. If so it would make sense for this coil to be available for the Impulse AQ. The stock coil on the Impulse AQ is a 12” round mono.

Fun on other forums....

After beating me up for being unworthy of receiving the “gift of the Magi” in the form of an AQ, a poster on another forum changed his tune. I answered his objections as best I could, then he asked if, since the AQ was now my property, I would sell it to a Fisher compeditor for a pile of loot.

This was my answer:

BB - you “interest me strangely.” To your question of encumbrances - Tim made it clear that as a legitimate purchaser, paid for with my own money - it was my property to dispose of or use as I wish. 

Actually Tim Mallory told me that they were offered many tens of thousands of $ to sell one to a serious treasure hunter if they would let him have it exclusively for X months. If you are concerned at the lack of details in the above sentence, I can only say that it ain’t BS, but it was a phone conversation and at 73 my memory isn’t a great as the “lousy” it once was. 

Now Tim, of course, turned them down. For the simple reason that they hope to make much more selling thousands of them per year (or maybe more) for years. 

Absent an actual offer from some benefactor for by my machine, I would have the same problem. As a dealer for the AQ and for the much bigger market represented by the follow on gold machine - not to mention the later relic machine all on the same platform, I stand to do better than any likely offer - and if it were a competitor who made the offer, I would refuse for the same reason that I refused endless offers of “sweetners” in my 19 years in Arabia in Contracts, Subcontracting and Purchasing - because I respect the trust others put in me - and the case of foreign agencies - the “fangs” of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - FCPA - not a road anyone wants to go down.

Good for you!  It would probably end up being counterfeited
