Tips for finding gold rings at the beach - Metal detecting
มุมมอง 22K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Some tips to keep in mind to help get more gold and silver rings while metal detecting. While I use the Minelab CTX 3030 in this video, these tips apply even if you don't. For CTX 3030 users, my settings are below. Salt Water ON Deep ON Fast OFF x-01 through 35 high tone. 36-84 low. 85 high
Makro Racer vs. AT Pro on a deep silver
มุมมอง 21K9 ปีที่แล้ว
I am field testing a Makro Racer for 30 days. Today I was picking up a deep, high tone which encouraged me to dig. I then compared the signal to my beloved AT Pro. The result was a bit surprising to me and did result in a silver being recovered..
Makro Racer Unboxing Video
มุมมอง 3009 ปีที่แล้ว
I just received a Makro Racer to give it a 30 day test drive for my opinion on it. This first video is simply the unboxing of it, what is included and my initial impressions. I will be following this up with some real world testing in various environments. If there is something in particular you want me to test or check for you, please leave it in the comments below.
How to waterproof a Garrett or other Pro Pointer / Pinpointer
มุมมอง 4K9 ปีที่แล้ว
At the end you will see the finished product (which looks as good as new). I do this about once per year for my handheld pinpointer. It completely encases it in a plastic (rubbery) skin to waterproof it. It also protects the pinpointer from normal wear and tear as shown in this video. Here is a link to the product I use: amzn.to/1QH10WB

Thanks for the track tip.
Actually I'm surprised the (black) pro pointer 2 is not water proof.When I bought my own GARRETT AT MAX, I got a ORANGE PRO POINTER AT ALL TERRAIN with mine.Its 100% WATERPROOF AND can go as deep as 20 FEET DEEP.I didn't have to cover the AUDIO outlet,the off/on button and light and where you put the battery there's a "O" RING to keep water out but Garrett suggests putting some silicone on the thread's to help keep the water out.But the problem is I can't find any silicone anywhere,the ONLY kind that I can find is the kind that will dry and if I get that kind then I can't unscrew the top to change the battery!? I'm woundering if VASOLINE would do the trick?
Love it thank you
Thank fot the advices bro..
Thanks for sharing Wisely focused advice.
Great tips there buddy. Great video 👌👌
Thanks! I was told by a customer at work that she collects rocks and shells and random stuff at a popular beach. She just digs with her hands and she has found gold.... I'm going to that beach this week!!!
let me get this right, you're at the beach?? haha just kidding, good video buddy.
That’s a lot of money for a metal detector
How much is this detector ?
Great tip on the trash tractor
Sorry pet peeve. It's Jew-el-ry not Jew-ler-ry. Helpful video. Thanks
I am just getting in to detecting the beaches so thank you so much. I just subbed you and liked your video. Can you do the same for me. It would mean a lot.
Can you change the battery?
you would have to re dip the end
Spot on! LOL 😄👍🏻👍🏻
Haha, to right, then the noice is just" baa baa bbaaaaa" low tone, even on my "sorry excuse for a metaldetecktor Garret 250,," ;) great tips, good video, thnks
Can't wait to see more videos on the Minelab Equinox 800, as that's the detector we use too.
Nice tips! Thanks. Keep the videos coming!
HAHA
LOL! Hilarious, Tim! Luckily, I have my new Equinox 600 down here in South Florida!
Good luck in southern Florida Chuck! I am actually on my way to Orlando right now. No time for a trip to the beach to detect on this trip though :-/
Darn! I am about 2 1/2 hours south of Orlando. Well, if given the choice of Disney or beach hunting...the mouse loses! Have a good time!
Son of a (BARK)!
Good news is the roads havnt mudded up bad this yr. Actually have some bare spots in Mason ! Soon I will be seeing George for a NOX 800...... C U later Tom LFOD !
I feel your pain, it can only get better. 😎 GB&HH!
I love it Tim!
Thanks RoadWarrior. Maybe someday it will be gone.... maybe....
:D
The hurt is real Mark :-p
I hear you. The snow just melted here a few days ago. I had to trek out to the beach last weekend to use my Nox.
Excellent tips!!! Thanks for sharing! Liked and subbed! xoxo
Lol!!! Funny!!! You don't dig clad!!! That's ok then your missing gold rings!!! I have dig up silver rings that came up a 12-36 or 12-37 on the CTX. I have also dig up gold rings that came up as a 12-44 (dime)on the CTX!!! Turns out to be class rings!!! Your missing the best stuff by not digging clad. Yeah it's pain to dig coins sometimes but your miss stuff!!! Nice stuff!!!! Another great example is a local hunter here would not dig up any dimes or quarters till one day he was hunt one Beach area where targets were very scarce then he gets a 12-44 on his CTX thinking oh well it's a dime I will dig this but it wasn't a dime. It's was a 64 gram school ring!!!! Yes 64grams!!!! Now he digs all coin targets!!!!
Bud, my point is, when time is limited, I focus on the signals most likely to be gold. It is a numbers game. Yes out of 100 clad signals, one or two may be gold. But if you ignore clad signals when time is short, then the time isn't going for the 100:1 odds. It is digging more gold related signals. -- Does it bypass some good signals? Absolute. Does it pay off for me quite often when I do it? Yes it can. I do dig clad signals too at times, depends on what my focus is for the day.
TKDetecting ciao come lo dovrei impostare il metaldetector lo comprato adesso è nn so come devo impostarlo mi potresti mandare un video sù whatsapp questi e il mio numero (+393441488789)
This comment makes me feel better about my cheap little 160 CAD detector! I found a white gold earing and a cool ass coin already! And like 15 bucks of change ;)
Good video. Which scoop is that?
Good video. New subscriber here.
Thanks and welcome!
Hi! Excellent video! I did not understand that: "x-01 through 35 high tone. 36-84 low. 85+ high" What is your tone profile and target separation? Thanks!
Hi Vladimir. In the Tone profile, I choose 4 tone-CO. I set a range from 01 through 35 so that it has a tone pitch of 1190 or so (a very high tone). I set the range from 36 through 44 to have a low tone (210 or so) and then set the remaining 45 and higher to have a high tone again (1190). That way, only the signals in the range I want (gold and silver) will sound really high to catch my attention. The other tones (usually clad) are low tones and I ignore those. Let me know if that helped clear it up or not. I could grab a screen shot of the screen to show you if needed.
Hi TKDetecting! Thanks for the explanation! On my CTX3030 the conductive range is from 1 to 50. I do not have 85 and higher. I use "response" on "smooth" and target separation on "low trash", is that ok?
Vlad, that was a typo on my part, the 85 or higher should have been 45 or higher. For response, I use normal and target separation is coin/ferrous. I am not saying yours won't work though but that is what I use. Personal preference.
Heya Tim!
Hey Damian!
Nice, great info!
curious how deep you think it can handle underwater?
id say pretty deep that plasti dip is tough stuff
@@drolsisusej100 Pretty deep you say, Well how deep is "PRETTY DEEP"? CAN YOU COME OUT WITH A NUMBER ?
Great Tip, And it works! Thanks
Hi TKDetecting. Great vid and info on the XP Deus. Just sub'd ya, GL on your next hunt. Bye for now, Louie
I use the deus on Australian saltwater beaches, it works very well for me. I use 95 sensitivity in the soaking wet sand, and only a few chirps....it goes deep!
Configuration that you use for beach? Frequency, etc ... Thanks reactivity.
just factory wet beach, sens 95 tx3
+greg w. Thanks .
Nice Tim. great assessment.
great video I like your unbiased opinion and have heard great things about the xp the thing I like about minelabs and pulse machines though is just the total number of freq I feel you will not only get greater depth but number of finds will increase do to the increase in operating freq the ctx has proved herself to me I feel as if it is tweaked toward gold and deep silver!!
Yes I agree. I am not expecting the XP to beat the pants off the multi-freq CTX or a pulse machine. I'll admit I was a bit wary of even bringing it because I know on its first release the XP was NOT very good in salt water saturated conditions. Thankfully one of their free updates helped improve things in that regard substantially. I still haven't given it a full run in the wet stuff but I may do it in the next day or two. I should bring my CTX with me to compare signals side by side but I don't plan on lugging two machines around. :) If I see you or another CTX user out there, I'll come over to compare notes. I have to keep in mind however that the machine is still very new to me so I know for sure that I am not yet capable of squeezing out its top performance out of it. Might take a year before I felt comfortable enough to claim that.
I'll have to remember to check the curve of the sand sweeper...great tip! thanks
That is a great idea. Thanks for the video.
UncleBucksTreasure Thanks Uncle Buck! Glad you liked it. Happy hunting!
Thanks for the information. I'm new to the hobby and have been wondering if I should invest in more expensive gloves or not. Cheap works for me!
i recently used a camera to read the markings inside of a ring i dug. no eyes in the house could read it, even with magnifiers.
something i'll have to try this summer. lots of competition on the delaware beaches though
good tips thanks for posting. I'm in Miami and subscribed and looking forward to more.
Thanks for subscribing. Tough to beat your weather and beaches down there!
Thanks for tip!
You're welcome!
