I think that is going to be pretty subjective. Everyone's ear might not want to hear the same thing.

Even if your run a high sensitivity, why do you think this would be good on gold?

There were several issues I had with the Tarsacci. One being I could never run the machine past 9 hertz or the interference from Black Sand was too much for the ears. This handicapped the machine for gold. In fact on a particular day, I found a gold bracelet with my Equinox and my Friend with the Tarsacci could not even hear it. So my question: is there any difference between in the newer machine to overcome this? Thanks

Outstanding!!! Great hunt!!!

Awesome!!! not sure what your trash count was, but the goodie count is very good. 😎

With you beach picture it is no wonder why your performance is fantastic. We would be lucky to get the Manticore past 21 on the beaches we hunt. While the inch or two might be the norm in sensitivity on your beach, I can assure you that lower sensitivity with Black Sand WILL cause less detection depth. 😎

Interested to know what you Black Sand percentage is?

WE as beach hunters MUST STOP using a nickel comparison for gold. [I know you do plenty of gold testing OBN] For 5 years now I have picked out one gold ring and stick with it as my constant. Every detector test looks at this ring. A "Nickle test" is just outdated in 2025. For so many reasons.

BINGO!

Congrats!!! My hats off to some serious rock digging.

So sorry to hear about this. But most of us just use the other arm and point to where the wife needs to dig.

TIME on the machine>>>>LOTS of it.

That is good!!! Was a big distraction.

I know the both of us think non-ferrous and it's coming out for the beach. The one thing that shocked me about the D2 is how it can throw ID numbers around. The pull tab range is ridiculous, and I once found a huge chunk ring of 14k white gold that came in a solid 99. I verified gold too on an acid test. Just dumfounding what that machine ID's at sometimes, so that 82 number does not surprise me.
