To Wait Or Not To Wait, Thats The Question

How long are we suppose to wait?  If it's a long enough wait, I can not wait, but still be waiting.  Know what I mean?

Rich. 

I refuse to spend my time waiting day by day (the watched pot never boils) and so at this point just figure I will have an Impulse in my hands before the end of the year. Fisher has still not even officially announced it so it's not reasonable to think this is going to happen anytime soon. If it does, that's great, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'd rather expect it to take forever and be pleasantly surprised at some point than watch the clock on the wall, the minutes passing SO SLOWLY.................... :smile:

Last week a storm enters that destroyed the coasts, heights of waves never seen, as soon as I calm down prepare my equipment and enter the water, my old and faithful cz with me, I reached the point where by density the metals come together and began their spectacle , 53 rings, 4 chains with medals and 3 bracelets, plus a pair of earrings, total 483 gr in 8 hours of diving at 2.4 meters deep, after putting everything together and taking the photos of rigor, I understood the message "enjoy what you have and what will come" I have already passed the 4 kilos in 3 years detection, made me question if really wanted to change it? Nostalgia takes hold of me and I think of all that he has given me and I have only changed my helmets a couple of times !!! It is like part of my family, I treat it like a Japanese Catalan, I use it clean and I keep it, it goes without saying that it is worth its weight in gold

A stunning result, congratulations, good for you!!! Sounds like you are doing incredibly well with what you have, no doubt about that. A great location and a great hunter will do well with many different detector options. YOU found the jewelry, not your metal detector. :smile:

Steve, I think we can have the best detector in the world, but if we don't know the "where and when to use it" it is worthless "I think something I understand about the behavior of the sea, I have a notebook where I keep notes on the seabed and With this I detect any change, be it a small rock, I've seen mountains of sand move in just one night

It happened the same thing to me in last days.

A rare storm affected part of "my coast", and even if I'm far from your results to say the least from 5 years, I enjoyed the shiver to find a couple of rings in less than an hour in the small hole I've been able to hunt.

Talking about the Impulse, I must admit that I obtained this result thanks to my old Ctx.

With lot of rocks exposed, a pulse is not necessarily the right weapon of choice.

In the same place a day before, I found a wedding band with my TDI BH, but only after dozens of trash holes.

I was leaving the beach without success after hours in so cold water and literally turned on again the TDI for last signals..Magically the last one was the ring.

So I decided to avoid trash and use the vlf for a better inspection.

Two other friends with small 8"Excalibur leaved empty handed the same place...

I only wonder when the Fisher will appear truly on the market and if will be seriously able to reduce useless digging action underwater.

Not to mention the waterproofing is something that scares me. A lot.

One meter down is nothing for a diver.

Some days we just can't talk about a snorkel.

Really bad doubt.

You bring up an excellent point with regard to "useless digging action underwater."  Historically the curse of the PI.  I have been hunting the beaches of S. CA for many years and have used multi-frequency machines rather than PI's.  Yes, the PI's go deep, but I am not willing to dig the amount of trash the PI guys dig with the limited time I have to detect.  We will see what the Impulse AQ brings to the equation but to be a true leap forward it is going to have to improve on the need of a PI operator to dig everything.
