  1. On the net I see two dealers got a ad for the XTREM and one comes on here from Texas..

     Both list the same price just with the bar and a coil at each end for 1549.00. I think with the controller it will be a little over 2300.00

     Another company still makes one for less than half their price and I’ve had one of them before with it working great for me. 
    The funny thing is they don’t have it yet and haven’t but list it out of stock.

  2. One dealer is posting a price of the new XP Deus XTrem deep metal detector. They show all kinds of setups and price’s to match.

     They show just the bar with a coil on each end for 1549.00 and that’s without the controller.

     I was thinking that the controller may be a little different but that’s not the case maybe.

     I guess only time will tell what is and what is not.

     Enter what I posted XP Deus XTrem deep metal detector on a search and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

  3. Strick I don’t have the detector so I’m not waiting on that small coil like you and so many others.

     I believe it be best not to buy any detector if it don’t have a small coil to begin with. It’s bull having to wait as long as you and so many others are still waiting.

     I started to buy into it when it first came out but sure glad I didn’t.

  4. This morning out there the blue a ad from Fisher Lab pops up on my phone giving me the run down of all things the AQ Limited. I don’t know why I was bestowed this honor so early in the morning.

     They let me know it was limited to 99 but my thinking is how long can 99 last. My thinking may be coming up short being they letting Kellyco sale them and they in turn increased the price it could be into the next century before the last one goes.

     Fisher is just up the road from where I live and I’ve been that way more than I count but never had the desire to stop.

     It’s sad to see a detector company fall bye the wayside but I don’t see a lot of future here. I really hope I’m wrong.

     Like another don’t what I call faith in a product they make by not having a transferable warranty they won’t last long.

     With all this advance technology is out there for the taking and not taking advantage of it then I say rest in peace.

  5. Sometimes it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you buy from a dealer would be better than buying from a unknown. With the dealer you will get what you paid for but on another form you won’t know until it’s too late.

  6. Jim I wish you the very best on your up coming surgery.

     My mother at 80 years had a triple bypass and come November she will be a 101 . About a year later she needed a pacemaker and she’s on her third one now.

     Until we meet here again I Wish You The Best.

  7. Am I seeing a head on whatever it is?

     If you rotate it where the large opening is straight out to the right the other part of it looks like a bird’s head. The recessed area on the side I see it’s eye 👁 . Being it gets smaller beyond the eye has to be it’s beak.

     Chuck 

      PS  It may not be a birds head but it is some kind of creature  . Will you please post a picture looking head on to it.

     I do believe I’m looking at its eye on the side.

  8. So many times people ask like you  what’s the best detector but what we should be asking is how good am I.

    I myself have been at this for years but in the past most was just turn on and go . Now days most detectors you can still turn on and go but if you want the full benefit then this is where your part of learning your detector kicks in .

     A detector will be no better than you make it.Most detectors now days require you spending time learning what it can do for you. Only you can make both of you better and that’s bye you reading watching videos and the main thing in the field finding out what your detector has to offer. In the field day after day of swinging it is going to give you more knowledge above all.

     In pass years I’ve said buy the best detector you can afford. Then get out there detecting and over time it will pay for it’s self .

     Now days I don’t see that anymore because people and me included got to have the latest and greatest.

     I wish you the best in whatever you buy.

  9. What I could see it would be best to classify down everything and not direct feed with a shovel due to over size rocks that won’t pass off the end.

     If I heard correct he said two inch slope per foot.  In my opinion your fly specks gold will go off the end like a jet plane. That flour gold just may pay for that high dollar gas you’re burning.

  10. I can understand that Dimitar don’t shout it out to the world of something new he’s coming out with on a new Tarsacci but the trouble he don’t say anything .

     We  see all the time of a company coming out with a new detector and don’t have a small coil in the makes and don’t show a interest on having one. Dimitar is truly one that fits that bill.

     I hope tomorrow will be a better day for Tarsacci and the year to come.

  11. They have the most dramatic way in music to express of something coming.

     Their music is like the 4th and New Years wrap up in one with a big explosion.

     Sure enough they coming out with what I called in the past a two box detector.

  12. Ron

     Some years back I sent Minelab a email asking for a special deal on a 2300 . About a month later I got a call from this dealer I’d been buying from and he said Minelab said do it.

     The funny thing it caught me off guard and I to come up with the money real quick.

     If Minelab does it again I’ll eat my shorts 🩳. I really shouldn’t say that because I may have to.

  13. I’ve seen more activity in a funeral home than what I see here.

     This is what happens when even the company don’t show interest in what people have to say and don’t respond to questions ask bye email.

     Sad to say something good could be something great in given time.

  14. I was in hopes that Mr Gargov would answer my email before Father’s Day but he needs to hurry if he plans on making that a gift to me.

     I just asked straight forward questions like 

    1 A new Tarsacci anytime soon 

    2 If not new then maybe a update on units coming out the door in the near future 

    3 If we would see a smaller coil being offered.

     The only time I got a response back was when I ask about a lower shaft and he came back saying they were available plus the cost.

     I informed Mr Gargov that I’d sold my Tarsacci but I’d be willing to buy another if it had something new to offer. At the same time I’d want to have the opportunity to buy a smaller coil other than ones being offered now.

     I must say I’m still kicking my backside for selling my Tarsacci. I’m not saying it’s was better than others on the market but it’s just I liked it for what it was. I’d never would have sold it if just had a small round are a elliptical coil one could of bought.

     I guess it’s a lost cause but I hope not.
