Popular Post tvr Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2023 Couple hour hunt yesterday brought a little surprise. I rarely get chains, let alone this small. Was about knee deep in the wash and the AQ hit on this one. Did not come up on the first scoop but did on the second scoop. ATS at 8 and delay at 10.5 to quiet things in the water movement and the chain hit very well. No good way to know how deep it was but when I got home and did an air test the chain is heard well on the AQ at 4 inches; all metal. In the picture it is next to a dime I dug today. Not sure if I hit on the clasp or the little balls on the chain. I tested it with the Excal and need to be about an inch or closer to the coil to hear the faintest indication in all metal and scraping the coil to get it in disc mode with disc set on minimum ... it nulls at 1/2 an inch and nothing at an inch in disc on the Excal. Markings in two places say 925. 11 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23944-aq-ltd-impressed-me-with-this-little-chain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I’ve looked online to see just who is selling the AQ LTD and I found it’s more than just Kellyco that’s got them for sale. I found out real quick that each have the same price and it’s take it at that price or walk away. If it’s anything like Whites TDI I’d never dug so deep for a target than I done with it .

Chuck I did a compare of the Whites Surfmaster TDI vs The AQ Limited, and the TDI had the 14.8 battery upgrade. The AQ was a good 3+ inches deeper on all targets tested. After using both you can tell the AQ is nothing more than a TDI on steroids. Now the TDI does run a lot smoother and I would say more adaptable to all locations. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23944-aq-ltd-impressed-me-with-this-little-chain/#findComment-254407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a TDI Pro might have the edge though--just that with the coil submerged it has to be detuned so much that any advantage is lost. TDI lacks a SAT control. cjc Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23944-aq-ltd-impressed-me-with-this-little-chain/#findComment-255578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markings in two places say 925. These silver chains are more likely to fall with in the optimised range. Dual Field is probably better on the micro gold chains. cjc Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23944-aq-ltd-impressed-me-with-this-little-chain/#findComment-284655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
