Hey Rick can you keep us posted on how many Impulse aq are out in the wild. - 2 years ago
Just wondering how many are out there and how fast delivery is going.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: What does the first buyer of the Impulse AQ limited think of it? - 2 years ago
I think that when more get out in the wild then we will see people warming up to pulse machines. This is the only new technology being produced by any detector manufacturer. With Garrett entering the multi frequency market, there’s really not going to be a lot of money to be made with the flood of relatively cheap vlf machines.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

A question about the Impulse aq limited. - 2 years ago
So being that there are only one hundred units available and production of these units are taking some time, is it safe to assume they are being hand built and hand tuned? Maybe the first limited run will be of a higher quality than the regular production run? I’ve seen this happen in other products.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Looks like Whites is going down... - 2 years ago
Years do tend to produce wisdom and they definitely produce age. I only say this because older folks can have more experience. an eight year old is usually not as wise As a sixteen year old. This does not preclude a young man from being wiser than an old man if he seeks out wisdom and/or has more experience. The problem is there are only so many days in a year to gain experience.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Happy Fathers Day Everyone. - 2 years ago
I’m just thankful to be a dad. My two.year old and nine month old make me smile every time I see them. I do miss my dad though. He taught me a lot and was always ready to help me when I needed it growing up. He also served our country for twenty one years in the marines and for another twenty in civil service working on aircraft equipment. May the good Lord God bless all of you dads out there.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Looks like Whites is going down... - 2 years ago
Maybe Whites thought that it was better to close than to send production to China. A lot can be said about Whites detectors and the technology they used but they can still find good targets on good sites.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Looks like Whites is going down... - 2 years ago
I think you’ve been staring at your own reflection too much in that crystal ball of yours Calabash. You’ve kinda become narcissistic. I used to be one of your YouTube subs but became bored with the negativity. At first you said that you wanted to help people make good decisions on purchasing a detector but having watched you on YouTube and the forums I think you’re just here to stir the crap andby Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Looks like Whites is going down... - 2 years ago
I owned a couple of Whites detectors back when I first got serious about the hobby. Soon after the people at Fisher research brought out the CZ line of detectors and I haven’t owned a Whites since. Come to think of it, that’s kind of like what’s happening now. The thing that I will always respect the Whites company for is their dedication to and promotion of the metal detecting hobby.

Re: Fisher Impulse AQ Limited - 2 years ago
To me it sounds like he’s saying the aluminum tone is short and harsh while the gold tone is longer and smooth.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Fisher Impulse AQ Limited - 2 years ago
I don’t know how well it will separate gold and aluminum but what I do know is that gold and aluminum have different densities. So if you can concentrate on digging deeper targets then aluminum will become less of a problem.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

It used to be that.. - 2 years ago
It used to be that a few years ago palladium was the cheaper alternative precious metal for jewelry. If you’ve ever found some palladium jewelry and still have it around, it might be time to sell it. Currently palladium is close to $2600.00 an ounce. If you think that’s high, you should check out the price of another metal called rhodium.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Rev WAR plate??? - 2 years ago
Hey Calabash, for those dive videos in the low country I wouldn’t waste much time filming under water. For the viewer there really wasn’t much to see. If you watch Gigmaster’s videos of underwater hunts, he usually unveils his finds above surface and again at the end of the video. It makes the video much easier to watch.by Shakydigger - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
