Hi,

I am back ;)

some news from the next Fisher Aquamanta

for those who have not followed the story
Alexandre who has developed manta technology
MANTA METAL DETECTORS | PULSE INDUCTION HIGH SENSITIVITY
was bought back and hired by the Fisher First Texas group

are on the program
at first the Fisher Aquamanta
a pulse with extraordinary sensitivity to gold
calibrate to 7us // 16 volts
and able to cut iron under certain conditions

he can take an alliance 18k of 1/3 gr under iron nails
and above all he is able to cross the volcanic sand to take the gold

a video that dates a little / but shows the possibility of the machine
which has evolved a lot since


in French :-*

it will be followed by a special Terramanta nugget

then / two others using Bipolar technology
which consists of alternating positive and negative pulses

easy to say on paper / but nobody had ever succeeded before Alexandre ...
the positive pulse magnetizes the ground and lightning the target
the negative pulse demagnetizes the ground = and removes the effect of ground !!!

and much more is planned later

I test the latest Aquamanta Fisher electronic map
and I've never had anything so deep and sensitive about gold

not : the box on the video and the photos
just there / to test the cards
the final product will have a modern / lightweight design and well balance...

pre-series launch / if all goes well /
in the next three months


better than all my pulsepowers
and I owned 9 ....

some finds on my last tides

The best waterproof beach detector to me is the one that is available and in my hand, for the past 4 weeks that have been the TDI Beach Hunter powered by a battery pack of 4 x 18650 Li-ion cells.


If and when something better become available over here in our tropical location, then it's just a simple matter of getting one.

Yes you are right
it's just an opinion for those who hesitate
wait or not ....

everyone didnt necessarily the budjet for two high-end detector
a few months apart

I'm not saying that TDI is bad
it's probably the best waterproof at withe's

but the Fisher AQ, will still be a step up........

Rick K...... that is the solution because no ones killing the small gold. Ive gotten a few with the Nox, but still not quite what i wanted in the water. You know what im looking for ..... small gold thats just inches beyond our sensitivity with multi freq machines.... even the Nox.

Sooooo how long will testing go on? I am curious if NASA Tom has one since he loaned his AquaStar. I assume these NDAs are going to keep a lid on everything so we wont know much..... or see much until the roll out. I dont know if its been asked ...... but can we pre order? Hopefully there introduction wont take an entire year to get one.

My November beach finds make me pleased I didn't wait and I'm ready to step UP, but it will most likely be a tall step and a very long time before a Fisher AQ will be available on this side of the sea.

I will be surprised if the Aquamanta will exceed the performance of my TDIBH :icon_thumleft:....running the high voltage pack / 10uS / very low threshold / volume up as required............plus the super smooth threshold and pleasing audio. Notice I say "surprised".......and not "can't" or "won't"......I know the Aquamanta can run at 7uS but in real world testing, I don't feel the 3uS will make an a huge difference. The White's real strength is the smooth threshold with GB off and amazing sensitivity/depth.

right now im not sure i know of any machines running at 7 uS.... let alone one that may run smooth in the salt water for testing. That 3 uS will make a difference.... every bit of sensitivity you can run will improve TID on low conductors. BUT...... everyone can speculate about the AQ..... at least Whites has one out there to compete. Again thou.... why do we have to be the guys modifying a machine that could be much better. Surely Whites knew how much dcv the machine would run? Its going to be an interesting comparison......

Doing good with what's in hand .......... but so ready for the step up !

Wished id got this for the winter hunting. Its not just the uS im looking for, i want to know how well it might disc some targets over say the TDI. If its just another PI thats really deep with no better disc...... just means you are digging more targets in hopes of finding gold..... all those targets left by VLFs and those not seen. That 3 uS can come into play.... depending on how much you have to turn the machines down..... it may be more or less.

Patience is a virtue - virtue is hard!

The only thing we know for sure is that it’s not ready. It’s a surprisingly long road from electronics and software done to boxes ready to ship. That road leads through pre-production validation of all parts and processes to build the production machines, field testing of final pre-production hardware, any “adjustments” based on field testing, then producing the machine in quantity along with advertising material, boxes, user handbook......

They are no doubt somewhere on that road. Just where they are - only some folks in El Paso know - and they ain’t sayin!

I also had a good month of November
just a picture of the first week
in 6 days ....

I was lucky / to find the right spot
but one thing is on
a low voltage pulse in 12 volts
which is not really 10us ...
would not have achieved all its targets

if we always know what we find
we never know what we let pass

the 7us under 16 volts Fisher AQ
will open a new field of vision

yes, we have to wait, finally mine works very well :occasion14:


AQ.JPG


already tell the story on another forum
but I can do it here too

I'm falling on a beach that had been digging like never before
a century of jewelry !!
the 18k gold medal dating from 1903
wedding ring 1953/1962/1978/1983 ............

a big lot of silver jewelry

15 days later I return on big tides
and I'm remaking 5 gold rings and lots of silver jewelry

got some of the gold rings
on a simple whisper
the silence of Fisher AQ is perfect
when I say a whisper / it's just a barely audible breath

this machine is not comparable
the rest of the production is a UFO ....

A whisper - a barely audible breath!!!!

Look at that black sand!!

Gold awaits those who hunt where no comparable device has been before.

A UFO ...

When they hit the market - a new tool will meet an essentially non-renewable resource perhaps. Will it be like when the first Minelab PI’s hit the goldfields in OZ?

Who knows, but if you don’t have one - others will.

In unmineralized white sand will it be as revolutionary? The first guys to try it will know - if they are not impressed - I’m sure that they will tell us. If they are impressed, perhaps they will say little - while they.......

The real test id say would be Ft Meyers beach........ dang theres a lot of bottle caps and can slaw there...... not to mention the river and what it does to the sand. Mike..... i believe he said earlier ..... like 25'. Still got my fingers crossed im not waiting on an iron magnet that gets another 6 inches.

Naw. The real test would be the Florida Treasure coast looking for 1715 fleet artifacts. Send that puppy over here.

i doubt it will have more success in non-ferrous trash than any other machine in current use. From what I can glean, it's designed to punch deep and find gold in iron and mineralized ground. I'm also curious how it will perform in gold mining areas.
