Just curious if the machine is coming from a car with cold AC than going out to a hot temperature outside than going in to cold lake water?
Wondering if it is the temperature change as opposed to the depth pressure or maybe a combination of both?

I will be real interested in seeing Steve Herschbach's comparison of the AQ versus his GPZ 7000 on a salt water beach.
I hunt the Florida Treasure Coast 1715 beaches and use several PI's: White's TDI and modified HeadHunter Pulses with custom Eric Foster coils as well as modified Excals.
Over the years I have seen every serious detector show up on the 1715 beaches including G

You have the wrong spin on me.
I'm not downgrading America, I'm criticizing the Socialists promoters who Lenin described as "Useful Idiots" to promote the socialist agenda.
Lenin realized that all societies have a collection of malcontents, schizos and people with just no common sense that can be easily manipulated.
Divisive politics in this country has turned them in

Compared to the rest of the world?
Americans don't know how well off they are.
Whining and victimization is real popular right now.
If an American doesn't have the latest and greatest smart phone they think that they appear poor.
How about no electricity, no indoor plumbing, no food, no medical care, no religious freedom.

True but most of the chickens we consume are raised on chicken farms, penned up and forced fed grain to fatten them up. Some say it's cruel but maybe it's safe?
The so called "green raised", "free range" chickens are probably fed well enough to avoid having to chase insects.

Anyone interested in the source of Lyme disease should investigate the theory of Plum Island off the coast of Lyme, Connecticut.
It housed an animal research laboratory and they did experiments on the Texas lone star tic that supposedly migrated to the mainland by birds.
Remember the theory that the Aids epidemic originated in Africa by natives eating Chimpanzees?
Remember the videos of chim

Kind of curious how the coronavirus came from communist/socialist China where the population is so poor they have to resort to eating wild animals such as bats, snakes and even domesticated dogs.
I guess in Venezuela and Cuba they are getting by on eating coconuts.

The big picture of why America is going broke didn't happen overnight. For the last 100 years we have been drawn into 2 world wars defending other countries as well as fighting the incursion of socialism/communism in our own country as well as others.
Like Lenin said about "Useful Idiots". It is very expensive to fight the enemy, especially the enemy from within.

Gary still visits the Treasure coast occasionally. I've seen him 3 to 4 times over the last 6 months. He knows a lot of the regular hunters, chats with everybody.
Now the beaches are closed and our annual Treasure Hunter picnic scheduled for April 25th has been cancelled. The salvage boat season kicks off May 1st.
Going to be interesting with this coronavirus crap.

North of Fort Pierce, Fl. on the ocean is the Navy Seal Museum. It is on a site where WW2 training was conducted. A lot of ordnance was disposed of along the coast at the end of the war. A lot of aerial bombing practice was done out of the Vero Beach airport.
One of the stories you hear about is once a unexploded magnesium flare washed up on the beach. The police were called and a policeman us

Ambersands is one of my stops. Certain sections cut but you have to know where not to go to avoid a lot of the aluminum can slaw from the fishing boats going in and out of the inlet.
The beach renourishment projects have slowed things down a little but mother nature continues to create the opportunity "zones".

Oh boy.
I just took a trip down memory lane. I went to the old FM forum Tech section in March 2014. We were discussing the Goldscan, White's TDI, HHPI, low power and Hi Power pulses. It was Rick, Tony, Mr. Bill, Reg, Eric Foster a fellow named Le Jag and a project called the Manta.
We were so innocent back then.
Hitting the Treasure coast this weekend, cold snap is coming thru.

I'm curious how well it would perform on a 1715 Fleet Treasure coast beach in Florida.
I have seen detectorists using Minelab GPZ 7000s here. Maybe you can find a GPZ 7000 in gold nugget country and do some comparisons?
If you are interested the Treasure Hunters annual BBQ is held in Wabasso, Fl on Apr 25, 2020. We get several hundred detectorists/salvagers each year.

I forgot to mention.
If Mel Fisher didn't make and win that fight (with his own funds) there would probably be no opportunity today for any private citizens in any place in the US to work treasure salvage.

Yes the Treasure Salvage leases go back to the lawsuit when the state of Florida sued Mel Fisher when he found the Atocha in the Florida Keys (1985).
The state of Florida lost the lawsuit in Federal Supreme court when Mel Fisher proved the Atocha was in International waters not State waters because the International boundary line was closer to the state on the Caribbean side of the state.

That's a big wide beach at Cocoa Beach. I think the Cape really shelters it from erosion. I used to do Lori Wilson park south to the Minuteman causeway.
I retired from the Space Center after 34 years. Now I'm hooked on the 1715 beaches.

Tom,
Are you hunting North Brevard beaches, Atlantic east coast?
I live in South Brevard but drive south to Indian River county and hunt the Treasure coast beaches. The sand movement lately can be several feet per day due to these cold fronts. 1715 fleet artifacts can be exposed one day and several feet under the next. There is a slight curve to the coast down here which probably accentuat

Does anyone think the AQ will be deeper than a Minelab GPZ 7000?
I've seen a couple of those used on the Treasure coast. When we are sanded in even those don't get the goodies.

I think the EQUINOX just drained everybody.
EQUINOX deficiency disorder they call it.
The new Fisher MANTA just sucked any remaining air in the room.
I like my White's TDI old big box model. I have no desire to get the dunkable version. I'm up to my armpits in modified Excals, sigh.
