Thank you sir for replying to my observations (comments) and am glad you were not offended by them. My comments on the Tarsacci and CTX were only in relation to the reactivity. I acknowledge that FBS technology has been around a long time and yes the TDI a PI is deeper. At the present time I use the Tarsacci as it suits my needs and is deep also. I see my observation on the port ventral were correct, and I meant no harm, again only a observation. At 4.5 lbs 1/2 lb lighter than the CTX I would enjoy that style maybe a pelican case for the controls. Again I meant no harm and do enjoy your’s and Rick’s post’s on your adventures, your testing and updates on the ImPulse. Without them we would all be in the dark.

Well if this is aimed at me, then I would say nothing I said is false. I made no personal attack as on the other forum you reference, only observations. If my comments were taken as negative comments I’m sorry they were not meant to be. That does bring up an interesting thought though. Only positive comments allowed, no room for discussion or debate on this forum ? I thought this was a forum for discussion which leads to information and knowledge. And as far as your blocking comment, doesn’t it work both ways? Maybe block me if my comments seem off line. Again I’m sorry if I offended anyone, not sure how many times it needs to be said.

My point is my CTX and my Tarsacci can duplicate that test and at even greater distance. I realize this is a air test but there is little distance from coil to target before fading out. I would guess the sensitivity is dialed back hence the quite background. Even there nail bed test demo with the gold ring. After 10” max the ring signal fades out. I did however see LE JAG dig some deep targets but it was strange as I swear I saw a shaft with a handle and no housing. Like it was belt mounted. Never saw the control box. I’m not trying to cause trouble, just lots of strange things with this roll out and videos etc. I’m just one man so don’t anybody get mad and leave the forum on my account. My comments have little worth.

I would be more interested in a slow speed response I believe.

VALLON makes a detector with GPR. My friend at VALLON said he could get me one for around $25,000.00. I got the Tarsacci instead, hahahahaha.

Rick may your medical issue disappear quickly and you bounce back better than ever. Thank you for your description of the controls and there effect on one another and all you have shared. You have taken a beating thru it all and for that I am sorry. Your picture on another forum had me rollin on the floor !!!

Interesting Dew you did not weigh in on yes or no or I don’t know on the NZ coil. The link is interesting. I have hounded Dimitar so much about the 12” coil, now he does not answer my text. Oh well, just name a detector out there that does not offer an optional coil and the AQ don’t count !!!

I too have not heard of a NZ coil. I’m surprised Dew had no mention of this also. I too have had great service from Dimitar in regards to a couple minor issues inflicted by myself. I tightened the battery cap to tight and stripped the threads on the cap. I received a replacement almost instantly. I have 6 months left on my warranty but if the past year is any indication of the detectors build quality, it will not matter if it runs out. Seems to be built very well. On the issue of coils, I just feel my hands are tied when hunting with my friends using the ever so popular Equinox and the CTX, when in the wash and damp sand. In the water the stock coil is fine. It just does not seem right to pay $1500.00 + for a detector that has no choice of optional coils. On this subject I have worn my welcome out with Dimitar as now he will not answer my text, haha. I am relentless on this topic. Thanks for the link phrunt as it is very insightful. It appears to be on the up and up to me.

We are up to #58 so far. I believe #19 for a low. What’s your number ?

On certain salt beaches I hunt, I too have a issue with salt balance. At these I ground balance in the damp sand then salt balance. Also try black sand on before salt balance. Looks like number 58 is the highest so far. IMO not offering any additional size coils will hurt sales. The small 8x11 coil is fine in the water. After that not so much.

I do not know and all questions about the number sold to date has been called proprietary information. This is why I tried to start this topic. Maybe more will join in. Thanks for joining in.

I purchased my Tarsacci in February of 2019. It is # 000029 R1. Does anyone else care to share their information? If you are a salt water hunter I recommend this detector to all. It’s negative side for me is no additional coils are available and the 8” x 11” just seems small out of the water. This is only my opinion.

I use the Souriau on all my Excals. just not to the extent of Joe. So far no problems but since i got the MDT they lay dormant haha. $2500 is not going to be paid off in my location for quite some time. Melt value and what you actually can get are two different things. I also don’t live in a target rich environment like Joe. MDT is better suited for the new drops here and the AQ use in the bay. Road trip !!!

I have had mine for a year now and it is the only detector I use now. My only thoughts are the 9 x 11 coil works great in the water but I wish he would offer a 12" coil for the damp,wet and wash. It also would help shrink those fields while relic hunting. Tarsacci MDT 8000 metal detector

Thanks Rick, I’m much more informed. I’ll hit the beach running now!
