Chuck, I didn’t notice till after I did the videos I forgot to scan both gold coins. Regarding the before and after numbers, ,hmmm good question. If you saw my latest VDI US Coin video, I noted the $1 gold is 6, same as the clad nickel, and the $5 gold is 12. However I had to go back down and re-test both coins under the Keith’s hot brick for those numbers which varies. Whenever your trying to detect through heavy minerals your generally not concerned w VDI so much as “sound” and hot ground is always going to mess up the VDI numbers. So that being said the $1 gold coin jumps around but averages in the lows 20’s under the hot brick and the $5 gold coin averages in the single digits around 8 under the hot brick. Thanks, Aaron

Thanks for watching! Aaron

Apologies to Keith, his YouTube is: Relics 1864. Thanks for watching! Aaron

Chuck, There are no presets on the TARSACCI, however its not difficult to set up. I provide free training to all my customers if that’s a issue w you. Regarding O-rings, no we do not carry them, however if I have extras I provide them to my customers. All TARSACCI dealers must honor the same policy regarding price and shipping. Not sure how you tried to reach me however the best way is at: https://forums.tarsaccisales.com Regards, Aaron

Enjoy! Aaron

Glad to see you’ve received the 12” already Bill, didn’t I tell you you’d be impressed? Yes as I stated on my review videos, the coil is a BEAST, built for WAR and light too! Looks like the final production version is even better than the prototype, as mine didn’t have the over-filled epoxy resin. We do realize that there are still many who desire a cover for the 12” and we’re working on that too, as well as a few other things as well! 😉 Nuff’ said! Aaron

Enjoy! Aaron

Enjoy! Aaron

Here is part 2. Hope you enjoy the videos, a lot of work has gone into this coil! Aaron https://forums.tarsaccisales.com

The new Tarsacci coil is finally here. I will have these in stock very soon. You will NOT be disappointed by the performance....NUFF SAID! Aaron https://forums.tarsaccisales.com

Dave, Try adjusting the Salinity during one of those “salt washes”, the coil just hovering over the water. You can do this while swinging the coil in short swings. Refer to my video on GB & SALT balancing..... Aaron

Abensen, One of the reasons your Tarsacci is cutting out is due lack of pressure via the battery cap spring to the battery. To resolve this issue, simply remove the spring and metal backing disc and put a #6 washer behind the disc and refasten. This should resolve your “blanking” issues. If not check your battery connector strip. Take some steel wool and polish off any corrosion ect that may have formed. For more information check out my Tarsacci maintenance video...... Aaron

Steve, I cannot comment on the black sand as I do not have any around here. However, if the Tarsacci does overload you will see a big OVL on the screen, and your audio will cut out. Nice write up. Aaron

That’s AWESOME Joe, WTG! Aaron

Hey Joe, I heard about your accident out there in the water on Toms forum. I hope your okay. I’ve hunted before in the water in the winter, can be risky even for us old pros. Be careful out there, hope to see you back soon! Aaron

Here is a great article written by Teresa aka (Coilpower) on the Tarsacci Forum I thought I’d share.... Tarsacci MDT 8000 Precis and Methodology for new users. Having used the Tarsacci MDT8000 for relic, mud, water, beach and black iron sands since the beginning of 2019, this article is aimed at new users and as an optional refresher for others including myself. A detector which gives PI depths but with target indication along with no sub menus....a weight of only 1.63kg, quality craftsmanship, superb ergonomics and carbon fibre components along with all the computations already dealt with “under the hood” within the unit itself, leaving the user free to only “fine tune” to the site being detected, is indeed “revolutionary technology.” It is those last two words that in the beginning led to the presumption this detector was for the more experienced users and primarily beach hunting. NOT SO. It was later found by users to be a multi functional, multi talented detector easily learnt. So..... all that is needed is the correct mindset, a little time becoming familiar with it and of course experiment like you would any detector. Several internet savvy people have taken great time and effort creating You Tube clips showing the attributes of the Tarsacci. For those with limited internet, I hope you may find the following exercises of some use thereby gaining enough confidence and eliminating frustration before heading out hunting with your settings....and.... READ THE MANUAL!!!! NB: Not written in the manual is which way to insert the EBL battery.....Insert it PLUS FIRST, otherwise it wont turn on....so don’t panic if you put it in wrong, no harm done. Legend: TrH on unit but written here= TH = threshold, Dsc = DISC = discrimination, Sens written SENS =sensitivity, Gb = GB= ground balance. BlkS=BLKS=black sand, St=SALT= salt or salinity, Track=tracking, Fc=FREQ=frequency. PP= pinpointer. AM=a true all metal mode showing ferrous or non ferrous target, DISC = discrimination, MIX = mixed mode.....audio sounds are AM then DISC heard in that order. Note the following “air” exercise is absolutely NO indication of the depths that can be achieved as the Tarsacci uses the earths matrix, also “test gardens” do not give quite the same results as “cold” hunting. 1. Collect a variety of tear tabs, bottle tops, coins, rings, etc....trash and treasure and keep these permanently in a plastic container for future use. 2. After the obvious basics of turning on the unit and becoming familiar with the buttons, note how the black outlined box has a much thicker black outline when engaged. It is then the user can change it. 3. BLKS and TRACK are the only two boxes that will be entirely filled with black when engaged. 4. Place each piece of trash/treasure on the lawn or concrete (without steel in it) in a large circle. 5. Find a spot and using PP make sure there are no targets heard under the coil. 6. GB the unit, then SALT balance. When BOTH of these are in correct balance there should be NO NOISES heard. The unit is SILENT!! 7. Generally a good quick middle of the road setting is GB of 560 and SALT 27 may suffice. If not, adjust SALT up or down. With experience gained I cannot stress enough to GB and SALT balance correctly for SILENCE from the unit to the point you actually take a swing over your spade/scoop to make sure its working! Chatter, even slight, will distort signal processing by the unit to identify your target in a clean, clear, precise manner possibly tricking you to ghost targets not to mention a cacophony of sounds through your headphones. 8. For this exercise adjust SENS to 4, TH to 0, DISC to 0, BLKS off, TRACK off, FREQ to 18 and swing over your circle once with different settings from minimum to maximum in each. 9. Go over your circle of targets firstly in AM, then DISC then MIX. Get used to changing this MODE button without looking. You will find a personal preference of MODE and in the field no doubt will use all or one of them. 10. Again doing the circle, change DISC to plus 30, then minus 30. Note the audio feedback received with regards to the iron sound. 11. Change SENS from 1 through steps to 9. Leave TH on 0. Note chattiness from high settings. 12. Change TH from minus 9 through steps to 0. Note the correlation with regards to depth, density and size. Note SENS and TH are a balancing act to achieve varying results, size and depths the user wants. 13. Do some circles with your eyes closed to concentrate on audio feedback alone. 14. Experiment with different swing speeds over a target. You will find the optimum swing speed for the Tarsacci which differs from most other detectors and when correct will give a clean, clear and distinct target sound. 15. This leaves you with BLKS, TRACK to use/not use in the field. Note that by employing BLKS it is an extra filter used to settle “chatter” down whether you are in black sand or not. 16. FREQ of 6.4, 9,12,and 18 are sensitivity ranges related to size and conductivity. Experiment. Basically by using settings on minimum and then maximum it will give you a good feel as to how each setting is integrated with another and the cause and effect they have in being altered upon other settings as to the overall balance of the Tarsacci and results achieved. Too high a SENS setting will give you an unstable chatty unit. Do not ever underestimate the power it has to surprise you.... even if the settings appear low. In time as your confidence grows you will find the optimum site setting no matter where you hunt. Just remember THE MOST IMPORTANT is to get the balance correct between GB and SALT to run silent and your swing speed. Thankyou for taking the time to read the above. It was hard to try and keep it short without overwhelming the user to “balance” all settings. This is but a brief insight into Tarsacci technology, exciting! Teresa (Coilpower)

Dimitar is going to be the best source for headphone jack. He’ll probably refer you to McMaster Carr where he gets the (1” 5/8 diameter x 1/32” thick) O-rings, or he may sell you a few... Dimitar@tarsacci.com Aaron

Sorry, I haven’t had the chance get back w you sooner. I will post it on Steve and Toms forums today. Thanks Aaron

I have 2 of those units, Dimitar made a few for R&D purposes, which I tested extensively water hunting. I’m selling one if anyone is interested. Aaron

Beautiful chain, great save. Congrats! Aaron

Very nice Dew, WTG!

Thanks a lot Steve!

The V3i is my elderly friend, he just purchased it new last last year w other coils and never put the big coil on until recently. Yes Steve, looks like a bad coil. There’s no stamping or anything on the inside of ears. There is a number “V1” stamped on the outside of one of the ears though. You think Whites will still replace this coil? Thanks
