Fisher Impulse AQ is a new pulse metal detector with metal discrimination! (New 2019, first photos!)

Yes, friends, it happened! Fisher Lab has announced its new product — Fisher Impulse AQ metal detector! A fundamentally new development and, it seems, a revolutionary device in the world of metal detectors. 

I didn’t manage to test the new product much; it was hidden at the Fisher Lab stand at the IWA Outdoors 2019 exhibition. Fishers don’t like to shout too much, but here’s what I managed to find out:

1. The novelty is a pulse device, but with discrimination between ferrous metal and gold. Created specifically for searching for gold jewelry and small gold chains and earrings. Since this is a pulse device, it will work without problems on any beaches.

2. For now, the metal detector is at the stage of final tests, the appearance and some characteristics may change.

3. The metal detector has several search modes — you can shift detection by the conductivity of metals, for example: you can shift detection towards poorly conductive metals (small gold) and at the same time exclude highly conductive targets (large coins made of silver and copper), or vice versa — look for large targets and cut off weakly conductive ones. 

4. Tonality: in «all metals» mode — one tone, then there is a «2 tone» and mode «mute». 

5. The device is assembled from high-strength components, this can be seen from the thickness of the cable, the capacious battery, and the coil connector (the largest connector ever seen!) The metal detector is waterproof up to 1 meter — work up to your neck in water and lift the gold just right.

6. The attachment of the reel to the rod is also unusual, also a novelty, not seen before.

7. Battery life up to 5 hours. You can connect an additional larger battery and increase the operating time up to 10 hours.

8. Yes, there is no screen on the device. Why do you need a screen? All the necessary settings are there — volume, threshold tone, iron mask, saturation mode. You can change modes, check the battery level, cut off interference.

9. Pulse devices have always had a problem — no discrimination. Now the problem has been solved and this means that you can walk in all places as if they were not knocked out.

10. Price. Around 2100-2500 US dollars. New technologies cost money, yes, but they also bring an advantage over all other metal detectors.

11. Coming soon will be models for finding gold nuggets, as well as for finding coins and relics. 

12. To the touch the weight is approximately 1.6-1.8 kg, the balancing is not bad, the device does not pull towards the coil. 

My first testing showed that it cuts out trash and other targets with a bang, and the gold ring on the squeaker’s finger is very beautiful and pleasant in all positions of the ring! Such a signal definitely cannot be confused with anything. 

Device video

Concerning the design and basic settings and features of the device, you can watch the video that was filmed at the IWA 2019 exhibition.

The metal detector promises to be very interesting!

Well, the first tests will show that the first impression was very pleasant and interesting, we are waiting for more news! 

Video on the metal detector will be very soon, wait for it!
