Is the MDT 8000 only going to have the original coil or are there any plans to offer additional sizes and/or types of coils, or does the unique nature of the machine make this a no go? Would the Tarsacci function with a concentric design coil at all?
Also any plans to expand on the concept specifically for relic or ghost town hunters?
Cheers,
Drew.

Mojave has good performance and switchable ground balance, (high or low mineral ground), Nice and light but may have to shorten lower stem depending on your daughter's height, that was what I did for my daughter at that age with a Tesoro Eldorado.
I feel it is best to learn to dig by ear first, stress proper recovery technique, & get her a pin-pointer.

Let's judge the Impulse, (and pretty much any dtector), after performing objective testing for enough time to gain a useful level of knowledge to form an opinion.

Wow, been a long time since Norm passed. I used to go over to study his site regularly for information as I was pretty green when I happened upon it.
I clearly remember when the site was suspended due to his health failing, and when I heard he had died it felt like a personal friend was lost.
Thanks for making the effort to save his work. Good on you my friend!
Cheers,
Drew.

Hi J.T.,
I don't think you can go too far wrong with that set up, they will both signal on coins to the same depth I reckon, probably deeper that one would need for boulevard strips, and urban drops in general in areas that haven't been re-graded or landscaped.
I was seriously looking at both the T2+ and F75+ myself, dealer was clearing out discontinued Pro Arc model, it has all the s

Hi J.T.,
Just a thought, if I have followed your intended purpose for this unit it is for coin shooting, correct?
As I understand the Fisher & Tek product lines the T2 has a much broader range of disc in its iron range, 40; the F75 has the expanded range in the higher end, only 15 in iron.
T2 was designed with relic hunting in mind, F75 for traditional coin hunters.
Not sure if those fact

Hi Aaron,
Glad you asked that question, I recently picked up a GoldMaxx Power so I am interested in a small sniper coil also either a 3.5X6" or a 5" round. I see they, (XP), have an OOR 9" concentric too.
Mine came with the XP elliptical.
Hope some of the UK guys will chime in here too.

Monte is one of those rare individuals who have distinguished themselves by their unfailing willingness to help others learn.
He is one of our real detecting heros.
Now... about that book

This has been an interesting thread for a person who has heard all the legends about certain machines that were prominent "back in the day" before one started detecting.
I really appreciate all the shared experiences.
i really enjoy hearing about the machines I haven't had the chance to see and/or use.
A hearty thanks to all!
Cheers,
Drew.

Hiya Steve,
Put me down for one with the balancing feature. I would like two separate weights one for the stock 11" and one for the 15" coils please.
looks to be a top notch product Steve, congratulations on getting it into production.

Cheers,
Drew.
