Mine has arrived and I have it put together now just waiting to get off work to really mess with it 

Would this work for a 12” coil cover?

When I was using a G2 I really like the high frequency and the reactivity to targets.  At 18khz the wrap around on that machine was crazy 

I ordered the Quest based on your review if I want to hard wire I also ordered a 12” adapter 

Thanks for your response 

I have a Tarsacci on the way, should be here by mid week.  Reading some of the posts 18 KHz hasn’t been as productive hitting silver in some of the posts I have read.  

I will be hunting pasture, old camp sites and old house sites.  There will be iron and sometimes lots of it.  Hunting for Buttons, bullets and other relics would you use 6 kHz 9 kHz 12 kHz or back to the 18 kHz.  Silver of course would be a high conductor, I would think brass and lead might fall into the mid range conductors.  

if anyone would share their experience with me I would appreciate it. .  

I can see where a certain type of detectorist would want the small coil.  That is a niche type of hunting and equipment for it would be ideal.  
 

The question from a Research and Development and then costs to create that coil would be the question.  Would the number of coils sold be enough to turn a profit after the costs, Research and Development.  

Some love 6” round coils for hunting in playgrounds and around certain objects.  I have tried 6” coils in the past but I do not have the patience for them in my style of detecting.  
 

Hopefully they will work on something in the future.  Technology is constantly evolving and no telling what is on the horizon for this company or machine 

I do not have a Tarsacci in hand as of yet and I get the time a warranty is good for even a limited lifetime warranty doesn’t hold up in some or most cases.  
 

However if this is an known a reported issue from more than one owner/user regardless of warranty being in or passed the issue should be addressed sooner rather than later.  
 

I have only communicated with Aaron by phone and a few others in messenger or this platform.  I also have another high end hobby and that is hunting at night with Thermals.  What I have discovered with thermals if there is an issue the dealer or the company itself make it right.  Send in for repair and in most cases a new unit is sent with a new warranty on the optic. 
 

With no advertising, word of mouth will be what turns this machine on to other users.  If a reported issue is not addressed in a way that makes the owner of the machine happy, that word will spread also, potentially turning new customers away.  
 

I don’t know how many are on this forum but would guess several hundred by the number of views from the posts that I have made and a few responses.  
 

looking forward to this machine to try but fingers are crossed that nothing happens in the next couple of years based on the price 

Just my two cents.

if a person chose the pro sonic due to having other detectors and other headphones, could a person purchase a set of wireless headphones and pair the pro sonic with the Tarsacci ? 

Sorry for all the questions just want to buy once and cry once.   Kind of like my other hobby thermal hunting buy the best you can afford and move forward 

Thank you great review of the ones you have tried.  Excellent 

I have asked some and received their ideas and suggestions 

if you are running wireless which transmitter and headphones are you using. 
 

What kind of run time are you getting out of the ones you chose ?  
 

Sound Quality? 
 

I can get the Z-Link or the Minelab sets up but thought someone might have a really good setup they have ran across

Thanks 

Jim

Mine will be shipped to me tomorrow. Wouldn’t have a chance to use it this weekend anyway they are calling for rain starting tomorrow.  Time to go back and watch more videos, take notes and make some flash cards

I don’t doubt it.  I have read so many ORs diaries books letters from soldiers trying to find camps I have a hard time keeping it all straight these days

Hot dog Jim if we tell you everything we know then you’ll know more than we do.haha 

I’ve always hunt with the coil lowest to the ground as I can get .My swing is slow and listening for those signals that’s hard to hear .

 I hunt anywhere I can and for anything I dig up. My first love is hunting around old home places.

 Being I worked for the phone company that helped to get access to a lot. I know one place that at one time had maybe a fairgrounds that closed up about 1945 and that was a great place to hunt.

 The detector I started out hunting with was a BFO and then TR both from whites. I did make one before theses but not sure what it was.

  I’ll add more later.

Thanks Chuck.  I appreciate your reply.  This can be a really fun group I can tell 

I thought about this I am sure we can all learn something about each other and maybe remember who to reach out to if we find ourselves in a situation that we can draw from everyone’s experience 

what do you mainly detect? Dirt, Beach, Water, Parks or something I missed

me dirt relics occasionally I will coin hunt but not very often 

items searched for ? Jewelry, Coins in general, old coins at cellar holes, relics 

pastures and house sites

swing speed?  Fast or slow

me faster than I probably should

swing height? Scrub the ground, coil raised

i scrub the ground 

favorite Frequency to hunt in ?

from the ML line 7.5 kHz for deep stuff 18.75 kHz for small stuff   I don’t know about the Tarsacci yet but I will hopefully have it in hand next week.  
 

Throw stuff out here on this thread.  Y’all have been super helpful on my first post and would like to know each a little better and what you like to look for.

Thank you and everyone that has responded.  I will pull the trigger on this machine in the coming days.  Learning a new machine is fun and sometimes frustrating but that is part of the game

An idea for some of the more experienced and creative folks in the group.  I have been thinking of laminated flash cards that you could take to the field.  Nothing specific because everyone’s soil and conditions will be different 

Just basic functions and how to reach them and use them 

For instance Salinity how to get to it then how to use it.

Black sand how to get to it and how to use it.  
 

you get the idea.  I have watched just about every video out there, however watching in the field or trying to retain that in the field until the functions are learned would be beneficial to new users. Might be a way for someone to make a little $$$$$

Thanks again all.  I think I will really enjoy this machine

JCR.  So you have to have or use an adapter on the Z Link 1/4 to 1/8 or visa versa? 

I haven’t got one yet but I have been reading a lot.  Someone else posted this brand. 

Are you using the stock coil or the 12” coil?

The Machine sounds impressive 

One last question for everyone.  Does the 12” coil separate as well or nearly as well as the stock coil?

thanks to everyone that responded or at least read my original post.

i am on YouTube overload watching videos on this machine.  I’m do not have the impression that one detector is a do all machine.  Each is a tool from a tack hammer to a sledge hammer. I am confident in the Xterra with the right coil being a sledge hammer but this machine may run right along with it

i have the Nox 800 now, for a few weeks, and I don’t think it has the separation that other have but hated the wrap around iron signals.  I understand just about every detector will find iron rings just part of the hobby.  Really looking for a machine to go into the iron in some sites and get the separation.  

Some places here in the creek bottoms stuff is deep from being plowed long ago but most is 8” or less.  Targets get caught in the rocks or bedrock and won’t settle past that

thanks for replying I appreciate your input 

Jim 

Thanks Kelly I was really hoping you would chime in.  I had the Deus too at one time but never got the hang of it.  I’ve used the Xterra 70 and 705 a CTX F75.  The Xterra with the 10.5 DD coil has been the deepest machine I have used.  Bullets with ID at 14”.
 

I have bugged Aaron most of the day asking questions.  What kind of headphones are you using stock, aftermarket with an adapter or a wireless set of some kind. 

How difficult is setting up the machine? 

Ridge Runner being an inland hunter specifically what is your opinion on the coils.  Small coil for old home sites or would the larger one be just about as good.  From the videos I have watched the large coil seems to separate pretty well 

I have been detecting for about 30 years I have used a lot of brands and machines.  I was out of detecting for about 5 years due to an injury but recently purchased a Nox 800.  
 

While looking for videos on the Nox I came across a video of this machine.  The videos are impressive.  So now my research begins in this machine and would appreciate any input from the folks here.  
 

I live in Arkansas (Ozarks) and basically hunt for civil war relics in pasture and old house sites.  In my mind I thought the stock coil would be the way to go but some are talking about how well the Beast separates in Iron. 
 

just asking for honest feedback you do not have a claim jumper in me.
