No, a multi-freq machine sucks for gold prospecting. I'm more than a little surprised youb were not aware of that.

Terry i do not think it is multi freq like the Safari i think it means it is like the X Terra detectors where on the XTerras you change coils. On the Impact you just change the freq. with a button on the detector from 5 to 14 0r 20.. sort of like the Minelab Eureka Gold.. BUT then i could be wrong i do not know but that is how i see it .

Thank's Kepp! I've executed a lot of brain cells over the years, so I appreciate the shove in the right direction.

Well what way is it multi can you tell for i do not know for sure?

Yes, from what I understand, it uses only one frequency at a time, either 5, 14, or 20 kHz. All coils support
all three frequencies. You select the frequency by making a couple of button pushes on the control box.

I've read the weight with batteries and coil is 4.2 to 4.3 pounds and is well balance. For comparison, my Minelab CTX is 5.3 pounds.

When will the impact actually be released and available for purchase?

- it appears to me that in this case, the more information you give them, the more confused they become -

I had a lot of respect for some of the legendary posters, until now -

I have pre-ordered an Impact on eBay. Does anyone know when a manual will be available or even some videos showing the Impact in action?? I've never pre-ordered anything before and I would like to know I made the right choice.

FYI, eBay is running 10% eBux (you have to be signed up for eBay promotions and ads to get them) and the Impact is eligible, so $99 eBux back if you buy the large package. Not bad. Only bugaboo about preordering through eBay is if the shipment gets delayed, for some reason, beyond 6 months, then you have no recourse.

The Hoover Boys just released a first look video:

Not much, but looks good so far.
