@@joealbano2168 I don’t swing the 900 too often these days as I use a Manticore, but I do enjoy the 900! The Manticore and 900 are different beasts. If you want to keep your budget lower and are used to an Equinox 600/800, a 900 is an appropriate replacement. If budget isn’t as much of a concern, the Manticore is where it’s at! 🤘🏻 Feel free to reach out when you decide - I sell machines. 😊

@@ChrisMylek-o9z thanks so much! 😊

@@greedygringoprospecting6941 Yes, definitely important people learn that, I’ve covered it in videos a few times - both about settings and coil selection. I generally use the M9 because it’s appropriate for iron infested cellar holes and the surrounding areas (my usual sites), M11 is a nice all around go-to when I don’t know what type of site I’ll be on or plan to bounce around, M15 is my pasture coil (not on them a lot), and the M8 doesn’t honestly get used a lot because I feel the separation on the M9 is equivalent to the M8, and the M9 offers better ground coverage. Nice to have a tool for everything!

@@TheCoffeeBushKid thanks Andrew! Great time in the woods as always!

@@stevenstark9017 thank you Steve! Merry Christmas! 🎄

@@digginhistoryoncapecod7506 thank you so much! Merry Christmas! 🎄

@@droidv1 thank you! I do get fired up for 18th century finds. 😆

@@capecoddiggerzmetaldetecti5718 thank you! Those future vids are coming out in a month(ish), I think. I don’t know if I got footage of you, though! If not, I’ll make sure to get you next time we’re up there! 😊

​@StefDigs definitely hope you guys come up again some time. 😁

@@jerrydowning2235 thank you! Feeling much better now! 😊

@@dominickraimo2411 thank you! That’s the plan - if I get sick again in 2024, I’m going to lose my mind by going stir crazy! 🤣

@@LeoBower-p2c not these days! I’ve been sober for just under a year, lost 40 pounds, and was taken off my BP medication because my BP was too low when I was on the meds once I no longer needed them. 😄 Using a humidifier solved the problem!

@@LeoBower-p2c some of my favorite people to hunt with! I’ve got a couple of videos on the way from our trip to Cape Cod that we took about a month ago. Looking forward to releasing those!

@@dirtclodmetaldetecting thank you! Glad you found the channel! 😄

@@relicrat thank you! Those finds surprised me considering I’d hunted that area quite a bit!

@@maryjanezanelli8661 thank you! After the year 2024 handed me, I have a feeling 2025 will be a little better… I’ll will it so! 😆

@@MetalDetecting1974 I can do that one of these days, absolutely! At the very least, perhaps I can start putting the settings for any given hunt in the description of the video. I do change it up a bit depending where I am, and I love helping Manticore users.

@@MetalDetecting1974 hahahahaha, someone was bound to say it! 🤣 I’m just glad the humidifier did the trick to stop the nosebleeds, hah!

@@MetalDetecting1974 that’s awesome, glad to hear the videos are helpful! It’s my goal to show Manticore users that treasure lies all over the 2D screen and not just on the center line. 😉

@@kenleach6097 glad to hear it! If I can help other detectorists this way, I’m happy to continue doing it.

@@mysticmimaw thank you! I’m glad I finally remembered after a week of nosebleeds that the humidifier still exists… 😂 All better now!

@@brunfree haha, thank you! I’ve found a few dandies like that and it always cracks me up. 😂

@DiggerDal thank you! Welcome to the channel! 😄

@@kimetherington2252 thank you! Feeling MUCH better, for some reason I got sick a lot this Fall. Generally I just get slapped with one cold, but not this time. 🤣

@@PinkPowerAllyTreasureHunter thanks Ally! I was fine after I remembered that I should be using a humidifier this time of year, hah! The nosebleeds could’ve actually been from stress, too, because that’s generally when I get them. Or, ya know… me not plugging in the humidifier early enough. 😆 Haven’t had a nosebleed since!

@ great news!!

@@Gloria-qy3dd could’ve been for sure! Glad to be feeling better!

@@elisabethcole2571 thanks Elisabeth! It was fun to go to an event just like every other attendee and dig the whole time without the agenda of filming or working (although I do love working when Minelab has a tent!). One of the best trips we’ve taken in a long time!

@@GeorgeLandreman thank you! 😊 Appreciate the kind words!

@@southernrelics thank you! Was great to do something different and go on a true vacation to find those points! 😄

@@SnapScavenge thank you!

@@waynelutwiniak797 thanks Wayne!

@@jeffreywoita408 great question! I don’t have any 18th century shoes or replicas with which to display the buckles, but that would be a really cool idea. I generally just remove the dirt, leave the green patina (assuming it’s present), apply Renaissance Wax, and buff them with a microfiber cloth once the wax is dried. Always looks nice! Only relic I’ve taken down to the base metal for the sake of displaying it as it would’ve looked 200+ years ago was a Brown Bess buttplate. The patina was really patchy and ugly on that piece, so I went to town. It displays beautifully!

@@craziedigging4590 thank you! I love finding oddball stuff, so I tend to investigate big iron targets or targets that throw a funky trace on the 2D screen. If I haven’t heard a sound quite like it before or it’s showing a trace I’ve never seen, it’s coming out of the ground! That’s exactly how I found my canister shot earlier in the year, and it remains a top find of 2024.

@StefDigs Right on Stef

@@chrisb5084 good idea! Thankfully, the humidifier helped a LOT - haven’t had a nosebleed since!

@@granddad-mv5ef thank you! I’m feeling way better now, great timing, phew! 😅

@@douglasangeloni9835 thanks for the info! Always appreciate insight from a true history buff in the comments! I don’t have a ton of sources on buckles (I’m usually going by whatever Whitehead has outlined in his book), and I’d thought the garter buckles were generally a white bronze or tombac alloy, generally around a half inch wide. The stud chape buckle from a previous video was listed as a knee or early shoe buckle, but I have a feeling it could’ve been a spur buckle, as well. As for the small one in this video, I think you’re absolutely correct. One of the smallest I’ve found!

@@413MassDigger thanks Ray! Hope you’re well! 😊

@@mandybrown7758 thank you! I enjoy a good relic day!

@@MUDSWAT glad to hear it! The nosebleeds were everyday for a week until I remembered, “oh yeah… fill the humidifier, doofus!” 🤣 Problem solved!

@@richardklapka5147 yes I did! I’m actually in the first of his videos from that hunt, but a beanie put me incognito! 😆

@@NathanPowers-y5g thanks Nathan!

@@rapiddog1491 always do! I’ve taken to wearing waterproof, insulated rubber boots and I love them!

@@luckydigger8073 haha, perhaps! I don’t know if he’s subscribed, although Kurt is. I need to find a 3 hour pocket of time to watch the 500th episode!

@@adrientucker5949 haha, it always pays off! Even if it’s junk, you’ve learned something about the detector and how it identified that target. Best case, it’s something awesome!

@@shooterjohn7163 thanks John! I’ve always wanted to detect up there and look for Old Copper Culture artifacts - the float copper you’ve found would excite me! I found one OCC awl up here in CT about a year ago that I didn’t film. It’s even got silver inclusions - not common to find that in CT!

@@williamstewart1378 thank you! Good to be back!

@StefDigs I'll be watching good luck

@@olivei2484 thank you, me too! So rare that they come out of the ground like the day they were lost!

@@JustPlainSteve5372 thanks for watching! 😊
