My world of Metal Detecting. I've been in the hobby for over 15 years and this channel will document my journey with NEXUS Metal Detectors. I am currently learning the Nexus Standard MP V3 and the V2 with various coils used on a variety of environments and ground conditions. Most importantly..... having FUN.
Other detectors I have used extensively The XP Deus 2 and 1, Tarsacci MDT 8000, Minelab Equinox 800, CTX3030, E-Trac.

@@bradcoulton3117 thanks for watching Brad. This place is totally ridiculous but I know there’s good stuff there. I just gotta weed through the chaos. Getting closer see you soon in UK !!
Very nice video. What kind of detector do you recommend for the beaches? V2 or V3 Thanks Ron
@@ronkuijl8567 thank you for watching. V2 is can be used on saltwater beach the foreshore that you see me hunting on is brackish water so therefore V2 and V3 work with no problem with regularground balancing. I always recommend that you speak to Georgie with Nexus or email him before ordering. The 7 inch DD coil not this video but other vids is completely waterproof. The two coils you see here can get wet but not submerged. Nexus control box cannot get wet. If you want your coils to be completely waterproof and speak to Georgie of Nexus about that. I primarily use mine on land so I didn’t have the extra resin put in the coils. All coils and machines are hand built one at a time.
@@DigginDude-vt8sx Okay, thanks. That is valuable information. I will contact them regarding the coils. Thanks a lot.
Nice video. This is a very good analog detector. Thanks for the video!!
Great video Andrew, can you do me a favour and break dance every time you get a target, take a 4K 3D photo that's compatible with 3D glasses and mail to me everything that you find
@@paulwarrenmetaldetecting 😂😂😂😂Wise ass😝. What a concept…. breakdancing on the foreshore muck. 🤔
You should show the objects at the end, with their possible history, year, condition, etc... Those analog machines are very good!
woohoo the signal response on the small bullets shows how vicious the SS coils really are, you genuinely are not going to miss much
I think you mean, “not going to miss much”😊. Yes this coil is extremely sensitive and so light and weight is such a pleasure to swing all day. Thanks for watching!
@@DigginDude-vt8sx Yes 😂 I've just edited it, I turned into a troll for a moment
The V2 is such a smooth machine, especially with the SS coil........... A good hunt.
pin pointer will change your day/ worth every cent
@@laurieboyle3338 yeah probably should bring it with me to the beach. Thanks for watching!
I would love to see you get something nice, just enjoy your time hunting
Nice video. Sorry about your issues. I hate when life gets in the way of my metal detecting! Nice copper
Perhaps buy a small Trond/Avantree, or such, wireless Low Latency transmitter/receiver and some Velcro brand Industrial strength self-adhesive hook and loop strips; 50mm/2" wide. Cut to fit back of transmitter and same size to stick to back of Nexus audio-out box. Buy a short length of stereo extension cable with a 3.5mm right angle male-end jack plug on one end (to go into transmitter) and either a 6.5mm male jack to go into audio outlet of the Nexus . Pair transmitter to headphones with Nexus switched off. Once paired, turn Nexus on and you're away to go. Around £25 for the lot. Only glitch is you'll need another set of wireless Low Latency headphones. Garretts are linked to their brand transmitter only, as far as I remember.
@@KernowekTim hey Tim thanks for the reply. I actually tried that and the latency is not quick enough with those and confuses the ground balance process. The delay in the audio was just enough to do that. I’ve considered making a video on the subject. I’m working on some other options. I’ll keep you posted. I think the gray ghost wireless even though it’s 2.4 GHz Bluetooth is going to work out. Its audio cable is separate from The charging port unlike Garrett. Gray ghost, they offer it for ATT Pro, which is a proprietary connection and minelab which I believe their ring /side wiring is different. I’ll keep you posted.
Really interested in purchasing a nexus. How long did it take to receive yours after ordering?
@@X-Marks_the_spot mine was a couple months I believe, you have to contact Nexus, Georgie makes each one to order. Depending on how many back orders he has dictates how long it takes to get one. Thanks for watching.
@DigginDude-vt8sx Thank you. I've been thinking about this for a couple years now. I have multiple detectors from pi machines, whites mxt, first equinox to the new manticore. Not like I need anymore but I love using different machines for different perspectives. Great videos keep em coming 👏
@@X-Marks_the_spot it definitely is different. I started on digital machines so all this analog stuff is new to me. It’s kind of crazy how great the unmasking is with analog. It really is a lot of fun. There is a bit of a learning curve using them, but once you get your head around it, you realize they’re not complicated at all. The V2 is different from the V3. I really like to V2 because of the iron reject switch option. But, the V3 has a vicious VCO tone that is awesome. If you haven’t already checked out Paul Warren channel because he shows a lot of tests something I won’t do because I don’t have the time. Thanks for watching
@DigginDude-vt8sx I have checked out his channel great videos very informative. I love a learning curve as I started on analog machines i have the concept down but every machine is very different. That's the other thought, which one? I do like the vco tones but the switch is nice as well 👌 can't loose with either though. Thank you for the input I'll be watching in the future.
Do these have a head phone jack? Might be okay out in a pasture but for heavens sakes why not if not. They want over two grand in US. And they can't offer basic things?
@@JD-ev1uj no they do not come with wireless headphones. That was not a dealbreaker for me, I am more interested in the performance of the machine. Quite frankly, the only time the corded headphones really get in the way is when I’m trying to make a video which is secondary to me, i’m out detecting more than I’m making videos. I am more interested in trying to find hard to detect targets in difficult conditions. There are many detectors on the market that provide Bluetooth wireless and radio frequency wireless headphones that may be more suitable for you. There are also some wireless headphone options that can be added to any detector that is not wireless. Thanks for watching.
Buy a Garret Z link.
@@jethrocarpenter3106 got one, the dainty little plug on the transmitter keeps intermittently failing, and it’s my second transmitter. Mine is now out of warranty. I wish to Garrett company would’ve made the headphone jack separate from the charging receptacle.
Awesome hunt Andrew can you do me a favour and post your settings up 😂
Give away my secret program? “deep penetration” … NOT A CHANCE!! 😂😂
@@DigginDude-vt8sx OK well can post a raised nail test because I don't believe the Compadre is very good, a raised nail test will prove it's performance 100%

Nice hunt, must be fun to hunt the shore, lots of good jewelry, I hunt here on the treasure coast of Florida, great video, Fireman Jim
What does that detector cost here in the US. Great video
@@benrjohansen the detector is not sold by anyone in the US USA or any dealers around the world. It is sold directly from the Nexus company. Made to order. Here is the website link. www.nexusdetectors.com/nexusstandardmpv3.html
@@DigginDude-vt8sx thanks I’ve seen them here and there on TH-cam videos and curious
@@DigginDude-vt8sx which version do you have or would you recommend for old silver coins?
@@benrjohansen OK tough question because it depends on where you hunt. But, read carefully if you’re going to buy only one for USA. I prefer the V2 because of the iron reject switch. I hunt heavily iron polluted sites. It is monotone with a dual tone option that you can choose on the machine. But I prefer hunting in the monotone(all metal) with iron reject on. The discrimination dial determines what you discriminate out. I normally set mine to discriminate out small foil. I carry a couple nails with me and tiny piece of foil. Set my discrimination at the ground. I’m hunting on, you’ll get used to it. Machine must be ground bounced at every site Mrs. important and why they are able to seek extremely deep items.
@@benrjohansen if you hunting land, pastures, parks, watch my land videos and don’t forget I’m not an expert. I’m just documenting my journey learning both versions. Watch Paul Warren’s videos he has separate playlists for both the V2 and the V3..
Where did you get the control box cover for your Standard Mp? I have the older version 1 Nexus Standard Mp and would like to get a cover for mine.
I made a video about them. Here is the link. I personally felt that my black ones fit a little better. The camouflage ones were a bit tight. th-cam.com/video/XYZVhEcP5zE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Px1nxPJ59hNeAaHa
@@DigginDude-vt8sx Thanks man, I have ordered one now.😀
Will you be doing more beach videos on this machine Was wondering how it pickup gold chains Also how deep you can hear a nickel in the wet sand
@@tomtripptree5079 I probably have one more video to edit from the week, but I don’t live near the beach. I was on holiday with my family and I was doing some detecting in the dry because the tides were against me. So I doubt I’ll be at a saltwater beach again anytime soon. Sorry
Does the machine pick up chains well Also if you do another video can you do air test on a nickel
@@tomtripptree5079 I haven’t found any chains with any of my Metal Detectors for a long time. Last one I found was a thick gold bracelet chain in a New York City park and that was with a CTX. Nexus slams on nickels. I believe that the newer style nickel, Jefferson facing forward smaller bust type is a poor quality metal so it rides on the edge of discrimination compared to older nickels. Next time I find a nickel I will try to show where it is on the discrimination setting but discrimination settings will be different depending on ground conditions, etc. Air test mean nothing with the Nexus which is very sensitive to ground conditions in a good way and is known to detect nonferrous items deeper in the ground then they test in the air. Thanks for watching
This video is clearly set up you must know that a single frequency, fancy knob job analog detector doesn't work on the beach - YEAH BUT !! the wet sand
Hello, thank you for your tests. I have a favor to ask you. It would be possible for you to do a test with this Nexus Standard MP v3. The challenge would be to detect a bronze or silver coin under 3 iron nails, then the same thing but with the coin 5 centimeters under the nails on the surface then 10 centimeters. That would be very interesting. I hope the translation will be correct. Thanks in advance
@@krillnaar9148 thanks for watching my videos, respectfully I don’t want to be involved in becoming a Metal Detector test channel. Those type of set up tests don’t interest me. I’m providing a link to Paul Warren’s channel, his V3 playlist where he’s conducted so many tests. Kind regards. th-cam.com/play/PLrqmSmLGF1bD0UpVjEUQoIUGHFjAJGBoC.html&si=086XtHXxAlRzoB-5

@@alanboone9883 I noticed a swing so much faster when I’m on camera than I do when I’m off. When I’m not narrating and making video I’m in my own world and move a lot slower. I really got a concentrate on that for my future videos. Thanks for watching
Outstanding Machine!!! I used the big brother the Tesoro Silver U-Max for over 10 years. Set the knob right above the n on iron and dig EVERY solid signal. A lot of small gold will fall between iron and foil. I once found a small 1.4 gram 10K baby ring and it rang up right above the n on iron. Crackling signals are Junk 99.9% of the time unless masked by something. Great to see someone still using a Tesoro.
@@MrExplorer05 I have a Cibola coming to experiment with. It’s amazing to me because I only used digital Metal Detectors so this whole analog platform is new to me and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. Thanks for your reply.
How do you think this stacks up to the D2 or Manticore?
@@vetdetect well I will try to cover what I can answering this. Nexus is totally different, a different platform, induction balance analog. They unmask in iron pollution incredibly and depending which coils you use you can go extremely deep. I have found a pulltab approximately 2 feet 6KHZ 13 inch DD. Yeah I know, no one cares about a pulltab but if you’re not digging that signal, you could miss gold jewelry. Nexus offers an incredible array of coils check out some of the Nexus videos and Paul Warren’s videos with Nexus. There are videos that show extremely deep Roman coins found and other items, etc. some targets Paul diggs are so deep. He uses a fisher F 75 with a small coil on it to help as a pin pointer to dig a deeper hole when targets are beyond the capability of a Garrett carrot. How it stacks up to D2 and manticore? Again different platform, different type of machine. I also use an XPD2 for many situations and have all three coils. It is a great all-around machine, especially for water hunting. Nexus machines are not waterproof. Digital machines are all pretty much the same except for the D2 and the manticore but let’s face it. The manticore really is just a CTX 3030 merged with an equinox just more light weight with some other changes to it. I prefer XP over Minelab but, I’m not getting into a debate over what is better and what is not. I can care less what anyone swings, but I am a firm believer that there is no one tool that can do everything. Nexus is a tool for going deep and major unmasking, it also has incredible separation speed. Sorry if I’m not much help, but I’m not going to say one machine is better than the other depends upon the type of sites you hunt and the type of tools you need to get the most out of thesites you hunt. Again watch Nexus videos and Paul Warren channel for more detailed Information. Don’t get caught up in the digital is best for everything debate… make up your own mind educate yourself but most of all have fun . 👍👍
@@DigginDude-vt8sx thank you for the information. I hunt old iron sites and from the few videos I have seen it appears to be a beast in the old iron.
@@vetdetect yes it is a beast in old iron sites. I am finding it very clean to hunt with an old iron sites, but you can only find what is still there. I will say I prefer to use the Nexus in heavy iron over my XPD2. Another thing I forgot to mention about Nexus is it is freaking quiet around EMI. These are my opinions and experiences, and I’m not putting down any machine or company. I say that because I don’t want to get in a debate with anyone over their favorite machine. There is a place for Nexus in my hunting, just being in tune with the analog tones has helped make me a better Detectorist.
A very nice hunt with the V3...... What kind of batteries are you using?
@@alanboone9883 if you’re referring to when I mention, I’m charging the batteries the battery on my Insta360 video camera, the video camera batteries don’t last as long as my hunts. In my Nexus machines, I use rechargeable Nicad batteries 2800 mAh, EBL co. I buy on Amazon. My hunts are normally 6 to 8 hours and I’ve never seen the batteries get really low. I just recharge them after every hunt.
@@DigginDude-vt8sx Didn't mean to be vague with my question...... I was wondering what AA batteries you are using in your V3....... It must require a large capacity charger as well.

Thanks for the advice on bottle caps ! SS coils are such a joy to use, I love them. All the Nexus coils I own work brilliantly.
Andrew I obviously dig everything other than iron but bottle caps will break up on the edge of the coil so the audio will break and the DMM should show mixed blue and red, I do love the UFO design of the new SS coils.
He lo ❤❤❤❤
Just found you, am glad to watch someone using the Nexus.
Welcome to my wacky world 😂. Seriously, Nexus are very cool machines to use amazing with unmasking in iron. Not the greatest video maker, but I’ll try to document what I can on this channel regarding Nexus machines.
A good hunt with the V3. That 'rock/slag ' that you found at 2:43 , I wonder what it would sound like on the V2 with the 'iron reject' toggled on. Both machines do so well in trashy environments.
When I get a chance, I will check that rock or figure out what it is. When the tides are right, I will go back to that spot with the V2 next time.
Glad to see you back Andrew 👌✌🏻

Hi, I bought those covers recently, but can't fit the boxes in. I've tried very hard, but it seems to be impossible, like they're too small. Any hints how to put them on? 🤔
Hi, they are a challenge to put on. I have the neoprene ones which stretch a bit. Hopefully you have the neoprene ones. All I could say is for the battery box which comes on and off often obviously because you have to put the battery pack in and out open velcro seams all the way start from the back (back to front) and try to slide it under.. up and over. For the control box, you have to make sure that the Velcro seams is open… slowly and carefully not to damage any of the controls on the control box slide it over the top, and you have to slowly manipulate it being careful of the outer control knobs. do this without the coil cable attached. Hope this helps it’s hard to explain. Take your time. Mine are snug fitting, but if yours are obviously way too small then contact the company and tell them to send you another pair. I will say my camouflage ones are more snug than the solid black ones. But both work well they’re meant to be snug. Be well
