    It was fun going on that hunt with you and makes me want to get back to my lakes soon. Congrats on the big, beautiful, James Avery, silver ring and the older coins! I imagine that ring would be easy to re-sell. 

    Thank you I appreciate it Joe! Can you send me a pic of your sifter please? I have one from many years ago made from pvc, w a nice sifter pan. Bladelockapl@gmail.com

    Had to laugh around 7:13 -- in what sounded like a disappointed voice: "looks silver...".  :laugh:

    Glad you show your settings, the digital TID's, and some of the trash.  Videos that are merely clip after clip of just eye candy may attract the limited-attention-span masses, but dedicated detectorists want more.  Ditto Joe's videos where he sometimes shows how much time, effort, and patience goes into a single (and often trash) target.  Real detecting.

    Hmmm...you do realize YouTube has a 15 min limit? I’d think most “serious hunters” would rather see us pulling up the goods instead of the garbage. I average 5hrs per hunt, and still not showing all the keepers....Thanks

    How do you think saltwater performance is, compared to the Equinox?? ( Don't know if you have used either one there yet!!)👍👍

    We have tested both in the saltwater. The TARSACCI’s performance only gets better when minerals are introduced due to its Salinity Balance feature. A lot of TARSACCI owners also own the EQX and are finding the Tarsacci is deeper in salt water. Checkout this test we did on the Atlantic coast in Florida. We have another new video coming from the West coast black sand beaches that shows the TARSACCI’s performance. Thanks! Aaron

    Good video Aaron,

     Thanks! That's is a long hunt! Still very nice finds! If you don't like the carbide rings, you can put two together in a vise, and put a nice edge on knives!🔪 

     How would you compare the Taracci, to the Equinox??

    Keep up the great hunts!👍👍

    Thank you Joe!

    I guess I’ll need to find one more carbide ring to sharpen the kitchen knives!

    I have a Equinox, which I’ve had before the Tarsacci. I’ve found IMHO, the Tarsacci’s audio is a lot more intelligent ESPECIALLY in iron, even though it doesn’t have 50 tones like the Equinox. I say this because I rarely dig iron, and can work iron areas in water and land (for relics) a lot easier!

    Steve, thats A LOT of aluminum your digging! There’s has to be gold there. And by the looks of it, some of those pull tabs are VERY old! I seldom find any pull tabs at the lake I’m finding my gold at, all the other hunters have already got them and people have been swimming there since the 30’s! And yes, knee to crotch level is where I find most gold too.

    Lots of targets, mostly fresh drops from the holiday weekend. I’m still waiting for my chest mount from Amazon, so still trying to video and scoop at the same time🥴. This was a 10hr hunt and normally don’t find nearly this many targets. The 3 golds made all the abuse from the little kids worth it!🤬 https://forums.tarsaccisales.com/forum/5/3-gold-day-lake-w-tarsacci-4th-gold-ring-season

    This is not about money (frankly I wouldn't even know how to price it) it is about the find, what it took to recover it and the historical context of the item itself and where I found it, especially if it a unique "personal" item like that fashioned by some soldier on a battlefield/campsite or a native American's kettle point.  Those all outweigh any financial considerations and is the same logic I use in reverse and is the reason I also seldom purchase relics.  The historical context may be partially there, but the lack of an interesting story about how it came to be in my possession makes a bought artifact less attractive to me.  In other words, it is less about what the object is, but the complete picture of how it found its way into the ground and back out and in my hands.  It serves as a permanent record of the experience and I enjoy looking back on that experience in my displays just as someone likes to pour through their photograph album.  Just the way I roll.  It is also why I am a million miles away from the "detector has paid for itself" mind set.  I don't mind finding gold and silver jewelry and modern coins, but I get a lot more satisfaction from finding items of historic value versus intrinsic value.  I have never detected for natural gold, however.  There I would likely be conflicted between cashing it in for its intrinsic value and admiring its natural beauty.  Naw...I would cash it in.  :laugh:

    Well said. 34 years now and I have yet to sell anything, and basically for the same reasons.

    Steve,will look forward to your review and hopefully not just on wet beaches but also general use  if that is your gameplan,do they ship these detectors to the UK or just mainly the US ?? as the ability to be used on sites littered with iron  does seem to be the main thing that is grabbing my attention,some of my sites are really iron infested roman sites.

    Very tempting i must admit,will await your review.

     

    Hi Steve,  yes we do ship the Tarsacci to the UK and we are also offering a special offer on shipping.

    Using The Tarsacci’s Salinity Balance To Unlock Those Worked Out Iron Sites!

    in Tarsacci Metal Detectors

    Posted

    In this article, relic hunter Keith Southern explains how to use the Salinity Balance to “punch” through bad ground, quiet down nail infested areas, recognize big iron and work around it!

    Enjoy!

    You cannot Salt balance to iron the way you Salt balance to the soil, not even if it’s a little rusty Sqaure nail. This is because iron is a solid metallic object. However, you can desensitize it some, to work in your favor!

    Say your on 18Khz and ground balanced. Set to disc -30, sweep around and find some iron in the site like buried nails. Small iron grunts. When you find the nails which should be easy if its a house site, a heavy concentration of them is alway's there.
     

    Turn Salt balance on and raise coil up above the nails about a foot, bob coil say from foot to 11 inches above the nails or whatever it takes to barely hear them on the down stroke you want to find where they just start to come in weak. Just a slight wah sound. When it starts to wah pull back up.

    You want to find that spot above the nails where they are weak .Right where they begin to be seen on down stroke. Start adjusting your salinity balance up a number and push down maybe just an inch but still having to keep maybe a foot above the nails. Go up a number then check with slight push. 
     

    You’ll eventually find a spot where the nails start to get weaker response. Find the spot on the dial that they are the weakest or even does not report at all on say the slight push towards them.This is the spot you want it at then stop adjusting.You can move back out of the nails and do one more ground grab.then your ready to hunt.

    You'll still hear the nails as grunts, however they are not gone but they are DESENSITIZED, somewhat to the machine.Think 16 penny nails may look like a 12 penny nail to the machine analogy.Or now, a square nails looks like a finishing nail to it. Maybe not that great but to just give a picture to the minds eye !

    Here's what works for me in iron on 18khz for square nails....may or may not work for you in the soil without some tweaking..18Khz, Sensitivity 7,Theshold -2, Black sand off, Salinity about 43, Ground is usually around 800 area.

    Sweep speed dependent for best results.think CZ speed.

    Use -30 disc to help on troublesome flip flop or ping pong iron.The machine is very good at ID'ing iron accurately.The tiny small pieces of cut nails may call you out but the -30 disc will let you know its flopping. Bigger iron nails on up are actually quieter than a VLF on falsing.

    The sonar hit will also tell you its a good target VS a quick sharp ping/chirp of nail false.

    Sonar hit has that good round feedback sound.

    What's crazy is you'll get a get sonar hit with no iron buzz but open up the hole and investigate and you'll see alot of nails in hole too with the keeper target.

    Where as say on your F75 a good hit may be also grunt hit grunt on same target. The Tarsacci isolates the good target and reports only that.Very very quick machine. If it gets a sense of a non ferrous piece it locks on it.

    Also targets that are somewhat affected by the salinity balance,,,that is, very low conductors. They will seem to ID more by purity than by conductance.
     

    Foil for example,  to the machine will be different than a good alloy like gold or lead or brass etc. Now say foil, on a vlf reads 2 and a pistol ball reads well on Tarsacci the foil can be fluttery or wavy or disappear And foil reading 2 as the salt balance is neutralizing it but the Pistol ball that reads 2 will slap hard.

    This is what happens to light iron some of makeup of it is desensitized and the small targets or low conductors jump out better than it can on a VLF where its reading a nail as strong .nail can overtake the pistol ball on VLF but on Tarsacci the nail looks slightly less to the circuit.....SLIGHTLY but in terms of unlocking that's a BIG step.

    Nice piece of gold there Sir!

    Agreed Seeker, even if you dont find much, even a little bit of gold is worth the hunt. Last weekend I made the mistake of going out to the lake on Sunday. After 3hrs all I had to show for my efforts was a quarter, .22 short and junk earring. Just wasn’t finding the targets. The little kids and obnoxious people got the best of me and had to bail. Oh well, there’s always relic hunting!

    Great job on the video and the ring Aaron!

    Well as you know Steve, I really like them and use them for both land and sometimes water. They work especially good with the compressed Tarsacci audio. You’ll hear little nuances a lot better. They’re also really comfortable and you hardly notice them on your head. Also in the hot summer weather your ears won’t sweat as much!
