Great day in the red dirt.  I recently purchased a 6000. And everything I’ve read so far is not to use the mono coil in difficult soil. You apparently had no issues. So far I’m loving the machine and can’t wait for fall.

Thank you!! 
I have yet to find silver with this machine, the site I was at last weekend I’m hitting again and I found Spanish with the Deus, so I’m hoping this weekend with the Tarsacci will be Spanish as well.  Dimitar told me to use the lower frequency to find the silver so that’s the plan.

What frequency & settings did you find that worked well?

I used 18 mostly. But played around with that. I was in 7 sensitivity. Salt was about 40. I used the black sand on and the machine was very quiet. Maybe to quiet. Lol. I talked to Dimitar after the hunt and he recommended being in a lower frequency. So will try that next time.  I’m digging tomorrow in good soil. The tarsacci shines in this soil.  But I’ll be in a lower frequency for sure.  

Hey there.   I didn’t set the world on fire.  I did get over a canteen spout, some fired bullets.  The tarsacci ran quiet in the red dirt and heard some deep targets. Iron and some brass.  Some of the lead sounded like iron at times.  The brass was a good signal all the way.  I will be using the tarsacci again in a few weeks back in Culpeper hopefully when soybeans comes down.  I will be swinging it this weekend in the good soil in a colonial spot as well.  The tarsacci will find the deep brass. But hopefully some old silver.  I hope to use the lower frequency at a new site. 

I will try that! I actually tried the lower freq. the other day, but was getting the chatter, but I will definitely try again, I really want to find silver with the machine! The deus loves finding the old silver.  I want the tarsacci to do the same.  🙂 Thanks for the advice! 🙂

Yes! He is a great person to deal with.  Thanks!! 

That’s good to know.  Thanks.

He prefers to talk by phone as it’s easier for him to speak English rather than type or text. I am pretty much using my AQ thru the winter or a Excalibur so the offer still stands. Good luck.

I talked to him, and he is replacing the keypad 🙂 thank you again! 

Love the tarsacci in the sandy soil of this part of VA.  The tarsacci is a beast with deep brass, it heard some deep targets loud and clear. The thimble was at least 13 inches down. The spoon was about the same. Still have not found a silver coin with the tarsacci but I know I will.  I look forward to the DIV in a few weeks and I will be using the tarsacci.  
 

Awwww!! Thank you!! Thats very kind! I sent him a couple of messages.  Will try to call him today though.  

Again the tarsacci finds the deep brass today in a colonial site. Love the machine.  Old stuff including a thimble at about 15 inches down.  Having an issue with the pinpoint button sticking though. Anyone else have this issue??  

Thank you. Heading out today again. Colonial site. Will post finds. 🙂 

What settings does everyone else use under the big electrical wires.  The tarsacci wasn’t bad with interference as the deus was in the same area.  But I put the black sand on to get it to quiet down some. Would I be missing targets with these settings?

Dug2gld - Andy (abenson) and I compared Tarsacci notes every day on the last DIV.  We reached the same conclusion - GPX is the way to go but Tarsacci will do in a pinch as a backup (which I did have to invoke because my GPX power switch failed during the hunt), as a “change of pace shoulder saver” when the GPX wears you down physically, and as the detector to use in rainy weather conditions.   I have a trusted friend who is mulling selling his GPX 4500 and who may decide to do so before DIV (he is not attending DIV). If you are interested, PM me and I can put you two in touch with each other to see if you can mutually work out a deal.

HH.

Of course. Tell him to contact me thanks! 

I know the GPX is the detector for the red soil, but I didn’t want to spend $3000 lol.  Maybe a used one will pop up after the DIV.  But I plan on using the Tarsacci.  I have a friend that lives up there and we have used it in the fields.  I think it was hearing what the GPX was also hearing.  So we will see, I hope I can get over some brass, the tarsacci loves the deep brass here in this part of VA. I have yet to find silver with it though!  Good Luck at the DIV!!

It will take a bit to post a photo of my set up as I don't use a smartphone. I will try. 

I will add that the Garrett MS3 & MS2 sound okay on the Tarsacci, BUT my 150 ohm Killer Bs sound so much better. They bring out the disc tones in Mixed mode very well. Crisp instead of muddy.

Are those wireless??

Thank you!! I might have to look for them! 

I also had it on the arm area, but wanted to try it on the shaft, I lost the transmitter once in a field and didn’t notice it was gone until I got back to the car.  So thinking if its on the shaft I might see it fall…lol

   Which Garrett headphones are you using? And can you use a flash for those pictures; they are dark and hard to see!! Thanks!!👍👍

Sweet,can you share a photo of that set up?? Thanks!!

The blue connector is what I would like to eliminate.  But don’t see how I can.  I’ll share the link from Amazon where I bought it to show a better pic.  Thanks! 

Got the tarsacci out today to get things charged up and redoing the zlink wires differently. I love the z link and Garrett headphones. But hate the connector that’s needed.  Wish I could figure out something different for that.  Will be in Culpeper in about 3 weeks for the DIV and will only be using the tarsacci there.

That is the same reasoning as me. I have not had the finds you have enjoyed yet on previous good soil sites but, the MDT does do well on Iron masked targets other detectors have missed. In the bad dirt it really comes in to it's own. Please keep posting your experiences with the Tarsacci.

I’ll be in the red dirt next week, just practicing. October and November should be good with fields opening.
