Tony Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Funnily enough, the perceived restrictions on the AQ Limited (depth rating and battery life) would not bother me one bit because this is a tool that I would most likely use on the hard pan at low tide....no need to worry about depth ratings and a careful battery swap out after 3 hours is fine. I’m currently well over my retrieval abilities in deeper and rougher water with the Excalibur......let alone the TDIBH with that “too big a coil” for rough water. Boy oh Boy.....$1500 is a very good price ? and a smart move by Fisher. But as you all know....I’m unlikely to get the unit.......right ? Certainly would like to try one out down under......I’ve been using beach/water PI’s since my Goldquest SS back around the early 2000’s. Damn you Fisher for tempting me yet again !! ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatley this limited edition not going to sell outside the US, it doesn't matter now if DHL or other companies can deliver or not. It kind'a sucks for oss in Europe not being able to buy one. We have to wait God knows how long again for Fisher this time. And when it comes out the price may is more than doubled for sure. Sucks..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okara gold Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I am still hoping for a chance to buy and evaluate the new machine. I accept Fishers terms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks..... I would assume a line is starting also to be the first people to buy one of these used. There inevitably are going to be those who think this is a magic wand, and who find out when they get it that it is a metal detector. Especially those who have never used a PI before and are expecting VLF type discrimination. There are no limitations on resale of the purchased units, other than to note that they would be without a warranty of any sort. I want to note I sympathize with those who have been waiting a long time for this and who are unable to get one at this time for one reason or another. My posting I’m getting one is not intended to rub salt in any wounds. All I can do is hopefully make up for that by providing some decent feedback to help potential new buyers in the future. Hopefully Fisher will come out with new models that have improved battery systems and a more robust design with a better waterproof depth rating sooner rather than later. The price may be higher, but they can’t go sky high without hurting long term sales. Any extra money will be worth it in the form of more than 3.5 hours operating at more than 3 feet of depth for four hours. Quite a few people really do want a seriously robust detector for hard core water hunting, and this version is not it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, there will not be any transferable warranty on used Impulse AQ LTD systems. Future users would probably not be made aware of or agree on the famous ''Buyer Disclosure'.

It does make a person wish there was some kind of internet search engine a person could use to educate themselves. Not much you can do to help people who can’t bother with proper due diligence buying used products. Of course a buyer of a used unit need not agree to anything, but they should be aware of the service limitations of the unit. I’d certainly provide that information to anyone if I was selling the detector used. If anyone buys one and wants to sell it used contact me for an easy sale. I would not mind having two, one for fresh water and one for salt water. And in any case I never travel to remote locations to water hunt without a backup. Lost a whole two weeks of hunting in Hawaii once to a new detector that leaked brand new out of the box... I won’t repeat that experience ever again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
