  1. While we all wondering if maybe in the near future we see a VX 11 but the big question is it a continuation from the VX9 . Will we just pay a fee to make the jump from 9 to 11 are will Garrett split the sheets so to say and start over with a new detector as in 11 12 and 13 ? Who knows and I really don’t care being I’ve yet to get the first VX 7 8 are 9 . I live just down the road from Garrett and they have yet knocked at my door with a VX 9 saying sorry Mr. Anders on keeping you waiting.haha Isn’t life Grand ! Chuck
  2. Northeast Your sister sounds like my youngest daughter when she was about 2 on . My wife wanting to get her dress and when she did my daughter would pull everything off saying I’ll do it myself. Now she’s a CSI and DNA analysis. Thanks for the show and tell ! Your heart skip’s a beat when finding beautiful gold like what you have there . The Best To You Northeast! Chuck
  3. Now if you really wanted to go cheap and have a gold detector plus coin hunt with it then go buy a Gold Bug Pro for 239.00 . That’s what you can buy one now with free shipping. It comes with the 6” coil at that price. Chris Ralph makes some great videos on it and the GM 1000. I’m not sure but I think on Garrett’s 24K. Another who makes a great video on the GM 1000 is Bill Southern. Watching different videos may help you in what is best for you. Chuck
  4. Thanks for posting the videos. I’ve heard of their mag but never seen one in a book store. Chuck
  5. Aaron I hope you get what you’re asking for it and like you said it’s one of a kind. It is one other Tarsacci for sale on the forum but I don’t know if he’s had any offers on it. To me all the items that’s on there has been listed for a while and some are really good to great buys but just not moving . When Tarsacci lost you as it’s dealer and with you making the videos in promoting it Tarsacci company lost a lot. You made the Tarsacci customer feel at ease with your videos and gave them confidence when in the field with it. Sad but I guess you could call that history being it’s not anymore . Chuck
  6. Steve you have a great product now and I don’t see the need to change it . To start with the shaft is not being swung flat across the coil but on end moving with the coil. If you are doing a air test say using a dime and you move it in the direction of the coil the detector sounds off . Now back off until the detector stops detecting. You may now move the dime again say 1/8 inch but your detector didn’t sound off but it’s primed. That carbon fiber shaft is got the hammer back on your detector and it’s primed with just anything at all is going to set it off. The first thing you come across what would have been a weak signal and because your detector is waiting for anything to release that hammer . Now what would have been a weak signal came across like gang busters. Maybe a simple fix would do what Deeptech does. You can see in the picture below. It’s plastic and it sticks out of the shaft 5” with the bolt hole at 4 1/2”. Chuck
  7. This is why you don’t step over a rock but step on top of it then step way out. The best thing is just go around that rock . Snake leggings are less than half the price of a coil so spend the money and worry less. Chuck
  8. Aaron I guess you could say I’m going to the bone yard and digging up the past. I was just looking back and reading over what I would think was a simple mod Dimitar done to change the audio for the said person. What I’m having trouble with if it improved the audio then why wouldn’t you want to make it in every Tarsacci from that day forward. A while back I sent Dimitar a discussion I had started but never got a response back from him. He has invited me to give him a call but I’ve yet to do so . I know some here that has talk with him has said he was a great guy to talk with.. For myself I’m just bringing up anything to keep the Tarsacci forum alive. Chuck
  9. Well we know it’s not going to be July 17th because it’s here but we don’t know what tomorrow brings July 18th. Chuck
  10. The way Calabash was waving that small elliptical coil around I’d say you’re right. Chuck
  11. Who knows the Nokta PI may be so inexpensive when it comes out you can buy one for a backup. It could be so smart it may move to the head of the class. In this case we talking about detectors.haha Chuck
  12. Spend the money on that extra battery. It’s no fun to get somewhere far from home and find your one battery just went belly up on you. The same goes on carrying that extra detector with you if you got one. Chuck
  13. They say it’s better loved and lost than never loved at all. This has nothing to do with metal detectors but I wish you the best with your new toy . Chuck
  14. Okay you two yes I sold my Tarsacci but you don’t have to rub it in.haha I can kick my own rear for doing it and that’s what I’ve been doing. My trouble now is I can buy a lot of detectors for half are less than the Tarsacci and that’s why I’m having trouble putting out the money for another. Chuck
