Anyone Coin Shooting With The Tarsacci?
Ridge Runner replied to bigtim1973's topic in Tarsacci Metal Detectors
I always told my kids it don’t hurt to ask because the most I can say is no.haha The coils from the first Tarsacci will work on the new one. That don’t happen everyday but it did . Chuck -

I may have overlooked it but coil is being used? Is Dimitar letting you buy the Tarsacci with any coil you want are you having to buy the stock that comes with it and then buy the other? All detector companies have a stock coil that comes with the detector and if you want a different one you buy that extra. Just wondering! Chuck -
My above post I want all to know I’m all for Nokta but to pull this off they have been burning a lot of midnight oil to make it all happen. I guess you could say it’s the lull before the storm. Chuck

A friend of mine is 8 years older than I am and he says anything you enjoy doing something it’s going to cost more money than anything else. Lots of us swing a detector do it for the adventure of finding the unknown and with others it’s for the treasure found in it’s value. My friend is correct in what he said and we know it each time we buy that next detector. Did you say what that coil was going to cost me? Chuck

Does everyone realize that here is Nokta with the Goldex then the Legend 2 and how long it’s been we had the talk of a PI gold plus a relic PI . I’m all for these detectors but where are they? I’ve seen the Legend 2 at a distance but only a promise of soon. Soon is a long time coming and coming with more of the same coming. Chuck

My spy here in south Texas is blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other. I like your 100% correct. Thanks! Chuck

Tips For Using The Gold Monster 2000

For some of us the weight of the detector may not be the problem. Chuck -
What Makes A Nugget Patch?
Ridge Runner replied to Ridge Runner's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
What you said I’m sure is true but I just found out why Gerry has so many people signing up for his training. He really didn’t want this to get out but he sucked one of those big nuggets down his throat and the and part we don’t know yet. Who finds the nugget has to write that. Chuck PS I said it was going to happen one day . -

YES That I Do! You can put a lock on a gate but you can’t put one on a mining claim. Chuck -

Thanks Gerry now don’t get me wrong and I don’t want to put you down but you need to cut back on the lip 👄 gloss. Chuck -
We know if you have a fair size hill and a wide V shape drainage coming down off of it where it flattens out we need to detect it. Most know the reason being that water is washing all the dirt and gold if it’s some on that hillside to the lower flats. As the ground levels out the water slows up . Now when that happens anything heavy will start falling out. If it’s gold on that flat ground below the hill we need detect up that drainage and anything that comes into the main drainage I been talking about. Now this is just one way a nugget patch can come to be. Let’s talk about another one that has no hillside to feed it but here it is. What we don’t know is it may have been hills all around you but erosion has flatten them out over the last ten thousand years. I’ve talking about this and another person had chimed in inline with us both thinking the same. Some I know will have a good laugh about what I’m going to tell you but don’t until you try it . What you going to need is a heavy garden tiller but not the one that’s 2 cycle because on that hard ground they will bounce like a ball . You will need a regular rake and a shovel. If it’s a slope next to your gold patch I’d start there. Say the tiller is two feet wide so you know the width and you can make it as long as you want. After you till the ground pull that off down the slope. If you take that rake and turn it over and use the backside you will be surprised how well you can move the dirt. At one time you will say that’s it I’m not going deeper and that’s okay. Now the good thing is you can run a strip next to the one you have already and pull the dirt from the new one into old strip you just finished. You say you don’t have a slope to pull the dirt off to start with. Then you will have a little more work because you have to stack the dirt next to your first strip but after that you just pull the dirt from your second strip into the first. The first guy that tries what I said to do will be saying I can’t believe I’m out doing what that old fart said to do. But you let him find his first nugget he’ll be willing to kiss me just about anyplace I want. I didn’t think this up but it’s been proven it can and will pay off. I just gave you the poor man’s way of doing it. The best to all Chuck

Nokta is doing everything they can to stay in the gold game as to say. We been waiting on a PI detector and up pops another detector but it’s VLF for gold. We’ve been waiting on the Legend 2 that’s a VLF detector and don’t it have a gold mode as well? Just maybe the Goldex+ picks up gold smaller than fly poop. I was never into fly poop unit someone started using that term relating to gold. Chuck

You’re so right in taking a layer of dirt off and if you had a dry washer to run that dirt it just may pay. If you’re finding detectable fly poop then it may be lots more not detectable. It wouldn’t take long to find out if it’s worth running are not. It’s a proven fact if you have found gold within say the first foot then it’s lots more to be had below that. Don’t think big because big equipment cost big money and the deeper you go the more it cost. If you can cut a strip 3 feet wide and as long you think you can work . I wouldn’t take off no more 3 inches at a time if the last you going to hunt with is one of the new fly poop pickers. I’d still run a test with a dry washer every so often. My trouble I don’t have a gold claim and too damn old to get that near to work. Chuck
