I don't understand one thing....if the person(Russ) from Fisher comes to a talk show and represent the company,why is he coming out either with wrong information about the price or if the price he mentioned(2800-3500$)is right,why everybody denies what he said? In this way you confuse us as a potential AQ buyers,WHY????whats going on??? What is this for strategy?

It's simple, because a Marketing person will never say they don't know, even if they don't know.

They do know if they say they don’t know they’ll be out of a job.

That is what I call good "monkey business" ! Lol... Russ had said the expected final version is July. But don't hold him to it if it doesn't. In other words , the carrot is always out of reach. Marketing and Sales are closely linked. But not always. Marketing revolves around hype , excitement , bringing attention to the product , etc. It does not always rely on truth or fact. But it should IMO. Look at PT Barnum on his marketing/promoting. Sales , need to be more about facts , truths , contractually obligating , etc. If anyone of these cannot or will not answer basic direct questions in a  truthful manner....those are red flags. Then you just appear to be sketchy ,deceitful , unreliable , maybe the business is flawed from the top down , going out of business , etc. Could be a flat out scam. Businesses whose sales/marketing tactics are direct , can easily answer simple questions , confident , and actually do what they say they are going to do will be successful. Not beating the Bush or dragging things out.

anyway, this is all too long. I think the hype is over, most of them have lost patience, others have learned that the discrimination part is more than minimal if not non-existent .. Steve sold his, gigmaster still uses his nox. and the few who remain learn that the price is prohibitive. To top it off, it's 2021 and still don't know if there's a release date. We also do not forget that we Europeans were unceremoniously excluded from the limit. I'm afraid this will all end in a flop

It is well known, the longer it is the better it is .... 

There hasn't been a Marketing launch yet, the day it happens, at that point you can really talk about the hype ... I would try to do my best.

I suggest you go see the last video of our friend Joe with the iron on the surface and the ring detected without problem 17 '' below. We can shout to whoever wants to hear it "Vive equinox" (long live equinox in English), until proven otherwise this one is incapable of having such results. This is called iron masking.

Steve had announced the resale of his Impulse for the new version, although I am not in his place, I think it is still relevant.

As far as Gigamaster is concerned, it doesn't really need an IMPULSE AQ as all the targets we see on its videos are within 20cm on the wet sand at the water's edge. This concerns recently lost jewelry.

Regarding the price, Russ shouldn't have announced something that hasn't been discussed internally yet. Nothing has been decided.

Europeans were excluded from sales because the detector was not CE certified for battery reasons, it would have taken 100,000 USD to certify a battery that disappears in the new version.

Now nothing prevents you from going elsewhere, you do not have to follow these conversations...

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not , the marketing "launch" was started along time ago. As with the recent testing , which is also a form of marketing. Russ shouldn't have said this , shouldn't have said that. Oh c'mon man ! Do you people communicate with each other ? This is concerning. As far as Gigmaster , he is still learning the machine. It takes awile. Some of his finds are deep , most are shallow. But if you look at his finds ,  alot of them have been buried for some time or washed up on the beach and reburied.

Yes I did, and I said repeatedly it had nothing to do with lack of performance. Bringing my sale up as if it means something negative about the detector is neither accurate nor fair. I simply decided to wait and see what both final versions of the detector have to offer, before making any further decisions.

The Impulse AQ in my opinion is exactly what it says it is, a detector for finding gold rings on beaches. It has almost zero application outside of that, so in my opinion relic or gold nugget hunters are barking up the wrong tree here. I am specifically talking the AQ version. The Impulse Gold version is the one that may have more versatile uses, but the AQ is more focused on a single use than almost any detector design I have ever encountered. For my personal uses the Impulse Gold is likely to be the better model, providing most of the motivation for my sale. I’m the first to admit also that the battery system, as included with the Limited version, put me off more than I thought it would. The Impulse with a drop in battery system would be my long term preference.

Gigmaster’s AQ is in the closet. He was not willing to learn the machine. I live near him. I hunt with him. He is a Nox numbers man period and he does quite well with it. What I guess I’m saying is, some people are PI men and some are not. It takes a tuned ear and knowledge to run a PI successfully. Your not going to pop the box open and hit the beach with a VLF attitude and be able to use the machine to its potential. Just isn’t going to happen. Again I’m not knocking Gig, he is a great hunter, of many types of treasure and certainly never a dull moment to be around !!!
