Your video work is already a lot better than many I've seen.  But improvements are of course welcome.

You mention the Garrett headphones -- specifically the ClearSound model mating well with the MDT in terms of good audio.  Those are on-ear type and a lot of detectorists prefer over-ear.  Have you tried their MS-2 model, which is only $10 more?  I wonder if they use the same speakers or if Garrett just buys various 3rd party headphones and puts their logo on them, in which case probably not.

I have some MS-2's and for the price ($30-$35 including shipping in USA) they are quite good, IMO.  I still prefer Sunray Pro Golds (standard version and Minelab compatible version) because for one thing they fit tighter and thus block out ambient noise better.  On the downside they cost about $100 more.

Hello!

Yes I prefer the over the ear type too for water hunting. I usually use Tony Isenhauers, though I wish they could be louder. No, I haven’t tried the other Garrett’s. I do have the SunRays, they’re my favorite land phones for 10yrs now. Can’t use them w the Tarsacci as they have 1/4 plug. The Garrett were also 1/4 but I modded it to 1/8, I don’t like using adapters. Thanks a lot!

Went back again to lake last week w the Tarsacci, managed to find another small child’s gold ring again. This one was down at least 6” and sounded very good. I’m getting a chest mount for my iPhone, so I promise my next video will be better! 

Aaron

That is one incredible day you will never forget Luke!

Thanks for sharing!

Aaron

Beautiful collection and nice piece of history George!

Enjoy!

That’s a beautiful ring! Are you running in all metal, 9khz?

Congrats!

Aaron

This video also demonstrates that both low conductors are in the same exact VDI range.

I’ve had a pair of Tony’s headphones since last summer. I use them with my Tarsacci. Great quality, great fit and the sound is good too. Their holding up very well, no problems!
 

Aaron

Because the token is a lower conductor making the test even more challenging.

Check this out. Keith has the coil over 3 nails at at once w the 11”x8” coil....

Ahh,,,I see. Man, gold does not come around that often for me either! 😂 However, I’m getting better and better w the Tarsacci! Thank you Sir!

I had a awesome time at the lake today, only there 3hrs and managed to find 2 gold rings and a old Lipsproof lipstick tube from the 1920’s. The large band is 14k engraved w a wedding date of 1949, and some initials. It was only around 6”, maybe dropped this year. It was hitting 17-19 on the meter. Hopefully I can get back to it’s owner. The small 10k girls has some nice stones and it was down around 10-12”. It had a big spread from 5-25, however it sounded consistently good with no changes in tone. The lipstick tube was way down there at a foot, sounded good the whole time too. There A LOT of old iron in this lake and with the Tarsacci, I rarely dig it anymore.

Aaron

No, you will NOT lose small gold canceling out small foil with the Tarsacci. I have over 140 hours and most of this is on land. I demonstrated this on the video using the salinity balance. 

 And this is the one the great things about the Tarsacci, you do not dig small foil in the park. This is no joke, check out my video on using the salinity balance to cancel out foil.
It works.

That’s exactly what I was planning on doing w that Pantera Rick, however I’m to consumed w Tarsacci business, and theres only so much time in a day. Hope it works out for you.

This is a prototype machine I acquired from Tom Dankowski many years ago. It looks just like any other 1270, until you examine the serial tag. This is a prototype that the old Los Banos Fisher had made to experiment with aluminum discrimination. The IRON disc is actually a “segmented” ALUMINUM disc that you can adjust with laser like accuracy. For example: Imagine you have your whole band of disc, from iron to silver, and you now place a magnifying glass over the aluminum portion of the disc.

Now, if you are at a site that has an excessive amount of one certain kind of pull-tab, like a new style lift top, you can now disc it out and dig just the older style pull-tabs. You can also, eliminate most pull-tabs and dig nickels and all gold in that nickel range, tipping the odds in your favor to find more mid to large size gold rings without having to dig all pull-tabs.

Got my 800 last year, spent many hours in the water with it and never had a problem with it. It’s a great water machine however I like the Tarsacci better now. I may sell it w plenty of warranty left.

Those are great Sven. I haven’t seen those Mark 1 ads since the 80’s. I’ve also got a Big Bud Pro and Lite. I like the tones on the BB Pro are even more than the Marks.

Check this video out as Keith uses the Tarsacci to detect a thin half reale through a mineralized clay brick........

Frank Sanders was in touch with George up until a couple years ago. Frank was going to have a Minie Mark 1 manufactured.

Lots of talk by Frank, nothing materialized and now he's vanished from the detecting scene. Nice Fantasy.

I remember years ago on George’s forum he was actually talking about bring the Mark back again, I guess that’s what your talking about Sven.

I love those old 80’s  Teknetics ads 👍😊

 Very nice Sven! Now is that the Mark 1? I forgot the difference between the Mk 1 and the LTD other than the color....

Aaron

Chase, there’s someone else selling his Tarsacci on Toms forum, not that he wants too, but needs money bad....

Of course I did. Bad weather, dry hot ground and work has kept me off the playing field. A brief test produced one flat button. Hope to go out for a few hours this weekend if it would just stop raining.

Well I’m glad to hear you finally got that rain you so badly needed George! Hope your digging soon!
