You rock. :)
Thanks
So far you are the best reviewer/teacher I've seen in the TH-cam videos about metal detecting. Good common sense and good delivery. Thank you.
Dan, I'm a newbie and just bought my first metal detector yesterday. WOOHOO!! Now I have to start getting the stuff to go with it and your video was very informative. Thanks for taking the time to help us newbies out.
How’s it going 😂
This was so fun and informative. I was hanging on every word. When you said, "Girlfriends, wives, and bits on the side..." I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. How very all inclusive. LOL
Hilarious!!
Girlfriends wives bits on the side 😂😝😂
I recently found this channel and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far...!
That being said, I’m 56 and started metal detecting back when I was a
young boy with my father.
For everyone just starting out, you’ll find tons of videos where people will
attempt to tell you that you need this and you need that gadget to get into
this hobby.
I would like to share my experiences with you...
First of all, back in the day, there was no such thing as a Pin Pointer.
Did that stop any of us from enjoying the hobby...?
Not at all...!
Every metal detector has a spot, usually dead center of the coil that you
are using.
If you listen for the strongest signal and then dig right in the center of where
your diol would be on the ground at that moment, you’ll most likely be right
over your target.
You might need to check the sides of your hole but over all of those early years,
we never missed locating a target...!
Is it as fast as using a Pin Pointer, no, but you can save yourself $100.00 or more.
Second, in the thousands of targets that we dug, we never used a shovel once...!
We used an old WW2 bayonet to dig our targets.
I have no idea when or who came up with the belief that you had to dig some big hole,
6 inches or better in diameter to locate an item the size of a coin...!
Using the bayonet, we dug holes that were no bigger than a couple of inches in diameter
to start and if needed, we would then enlarge the hole an inch or two at a time.
After we had dug a target you couldn’t tell that the ground had ever been disturbed and this
was true of digging in a manicured lawn...!
When you show someone how non-invasive you can be you’re more likely to gain permission
to detect on other people’s property...
Note that on occasion we would also use a hand trowel, just like the type you would use for
planting flowers and cost no more than a couple of dollars...!
This was used when we would encounter a big object.
Last, there are as many finds pouches as you can imagine out there...!
Some only cost a few dollars while others run upwards of $20.00 or more and unless you’ve
got money to burn, it’s crazy to spend that kind of money on something that’s going to spend
more time holding trash than anything else...!
We always used Cotton Nail Aprons that tie around your waste and you can get for free from
any hardware/lumber store.
I don’t mean to take anything away from this video by making my suggestions.
I just wanted to help save some of you from spending your hard earned money when it’s not
necessary.
I hope that this helps some of you...!
This hobby is expensive enough to get started in but believe me, it can be well worth the investment...!
Have a great day and be blessed.
I appreciate your knowledge and trying to further help save beginners money as is the info on this video..great work to both.
Thank you ever so much.
You are absolutely right.
If you are looking for coins I would add a universal spray bottle with water so you can remove muck without scratching the coins and damaging them further.
My advice in America, if you are in unfamiliar territory, don't detect alone! Also don't put on headphones you can't hear your surroundings. It is a good way to get into trouble with our wildlife, bears, mountain lions, elk, moose, deer, gators, rattlesnakes, pot growers, etc. Be safe and always aware of your surroundings, and bring along a camera to record your finds. You can also GPS the exact location of where you found your finds for future reference.
This was such a good video. It's all about being prepared and organized. If you tend to forget things, make a checklist and mark it off as you pack up. That way you won't get caught with half your gear left behind.
Dan and Mazzy, I hope you do another on what you also need to take like, water, food bars, flashlight, first aid kit, clothing, etc... depending on where you are, or how far out in the woods, you may need them. This was awesome! I really enjoyed it.
Lol
Lesa you obviously have never been to America , get outdoors and enjoy it
Truth! I've got gators, coyotes, wild hogs, and venomous snakes on my property. I do not use headphones.
From across the pond..usa..love the videos..keep em coming
My #1 item is a canteen full of water!
I'm looking to buy a metal detector , I'm looking at the Garrett at 400 or the Fisher 22 or the 44 , I would like your opinion on which would be the best
@@rickyhuneycutt1079 I assume you are a beginner sooooo please don't buy the Garrett Ace 400. Buy a Garrett Ace 150 (pro). It's the best, easiest and simplest metal detector from entry level to pro level. Hope that helps you out
I was thinking pub
Well done! Great camera work too. Dan you’re the reason I started 3 years ago, “Come on get in!” Thanks for all the laughs and great tips.
Well done. But I have a few addends. As for pinpointers you can get a GP Pinpointer off of eBay for a fraction of a cost of a Garrett carrot, it is waterproof to 3 meters / 10 feet and it works quite well. As for knee pads I ended up ditching mine because they kept sliding down. I now use hockey shin guards that protect both my knees and shins and I never have to worry about them falling down. My belt is going to be an old US Army surplus belt similar to the kind I used to wear when I was in the military. I will add to that canteens in pouches and I plan on making some kind of shovel holster to hook on as well. Plus I bought a leg holster that attaches to the belt to make sure it does not slide down. The holster holds both my digger and my pinpointer. I may add more surplus pouches to minimize the need for separate bag space for batteries, toothpicks, toothbrushes, etc. Most of my gear I shopped for off of eBay and some of it I won in giveaways or bought at a local hardware store. Anyway I hope this helps as well. Peace.
Maisy you are a fantastic videographer! Thanks for the tips Dan.
Thanks for showing the 10 things for metal detectoring but you missed a sand scoop for beaches
You can get work trousers that have pockets for the knees. No straps necessary will work for anybody. Decent ones a bit pricey but worth it
About time you started detecting videos again. Welcome back
Great video Dan and Mazzy. The picture was nice and steady. Here's a tip for your extra batteries. Cut the excess cardboard off the battery package with scissors to save space in your bag.
Thanks Dan and Mazzy, very useful tips. Welcome back to metal detecting.
yep, good quality, plus good informative vid.
I wish I could talk like that, completely awesome accent!
Happy New year Dan. Thank you very much for this tips.
Thank you for a great video and all the tips and tricks.
Wooden toothpicks can help clear the crud off some coins, and a small pump spray bottle for spritzing coins .
Cut proof gloves are a must as you never know what's in the hole when you stick your hand in and knee pads keep your trousers dry at the knees , nothing worse than walking about all day with soaking knees on your trousers and it doesn't do your knees any favours walking about with soaking knees all day long hahaha love your videos .
Stay Awesome Dan.
Get out and do it.
Get in!
Good info. Thanks fer sharing!
I'm just getting ready to start detecting. Your video on the 10 essential items was very helpful. Thank you so much!
Awesome help for beginners, can’t wait to apply it thanks
Thank you for the information. A check list before leaving home.
Very informative! Thanks TRACY
Awesome vid Dan and Mazzy!
Love your channel stoped watching it for a while but came back to it and glad i was to do so
Great video for people just starting, I also enjoyed your woodland video. I never thought about the evergreen trees not shedding their leaves... Smart.
Thank you for the video, Dan. You made the world a little brighter.
Thank you very much. I am just getting started and this was a great help.
Entertaining and informative, keep up the great videos Dan
The quality was very nice. Good job Dan!
I love your videos and find you to be both informative and very entertaining thanks for another great video one of my favorite youtubers.
Had my first detecting adventure today! :-)
Went to some playgrounds here in Berlin, fun with parents and kids, and 10€ of change in my pocket at the end haha!
Shared some coins with the kiddies that were trying to help and cleaned the sand from rusty nails =) I think this is going to be another favorite hobby of me!
Today's orders: The Pinpointer, a Deteknix X and a Diggerthingplantknife haroharo blah to stab the earth! xD
As always thank you for great beginner infos!
Thanks for all the advice!
Thank you Dan for this info. I found it very interesting.
Ta Dan - Kids just bought me a metal detector - I have banged on about it for years - so good advice here before I go on my first expedition around cheshire.
Dan and Mazzy!!! This was a really great overview video (very stable!!) with the items that are essential for metal detecting. An eleventh (11) item that you could add and that I find very useful is a small squirt bottle of water. Along with the tooth brush, the water more quickly reveals the details on the coin or artifact. With a squirt bottle of water you do not use much and it goes a long, full day of metal detecting. Often with the water you do not need the brush to reveal the details!!
Great Video Dan! Excellent thoughts and tips!
Im loving your channel. I got a metal detector for xmas... and youve inspired me to give it a go.
Awesome video as always Dan and that was some great camera work Mazzy! Very steady and smooth.
Miss you metal detecting videos. Thanks Tracy
very nice Dan you still got it.. you n Mazzy make a great team.. yes, and #11 find a friend like Mazzy to go with..
Useful info. Keep the vids coming!
Thanks for sharing and all your help
I'm new to this, went out for the first time yesterday with my vanquish 340. Had a great time, found a coin on my 3rd hole! Not sure what it is, but I will try a wire brush.
Love your video, some good tips.
Thank you.
Great video guys! Learned a lot already. Hope to start hobby soon. 👊🏼
Love the metal detecting back
Nice thanks Dan.
Great vid guys love it do more of these there cool been decting for 37 years my self I am in NY I have found many cool finds take care happy hunting
More detecting videos please 😊
Thanks DDD! This video will help me with my metal detecting adventures. I'm a rookie so I'm just sticking with the basic accessories. The wireless headphones will be something I will look into if I still have the metal detecting "bug" in a few months. The Garrett AT Pro (the same machine DDD's GF uses) is a nice machine. They definitely are not cheap .........$500-$600, depending on which kit is being purchased.
Very informative... thank you. I'm just learning about this hobby
Love this one.
Liked it, good video for the beginner. My belt is a running belt it has a bottle holder for when it's hot plus it can take the pointer and digging tool. Look forward to the next
Great tips and advice Dan and Mazzy ♡
Very good vid. Very informative. And entertaining too.
Dan I have the exact same setup on my ATpro with deteknix I think it's called wireless set-up and you turn me on to it and I've been using it for the last 3-4 years without a problem good stuff thanks bro
great video lots of info . keep it up
Dan I have the very same shovel and Garrett hand digger. I modified my shovel and put teeth in the sides of the Spade after slimming it down. Works great...
Great to see you back detecting, love it!
Good belt tip, been doing it wrong for ages, yanking my trousers up, very annoying and mightily embarrassing for my son.
good video Dan & Mazzie - good advice for beginners there
Great info!
Very useful, thank you!
Love it!
Best vid for beginners I have yet to see!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you. Subbed.
Spot on
I took your advice and bought a tool belt (about $15 at the local Lowes Hardware store) and it makes everything fit so much better and much more comfortably. Nothing sags down anymore and I don't have to keep pulling the belt up like I did with the old stuff. Great advice!
Happy that my advice helped :-) Thanks for watching!
great vid. loved it dan
Great info Dan cheers
Great stuff
Thanks Dan. I inherited a detector and only started using it recently. After watching some of your videos, among others, I picked up a pin pointer. What a huge difference. My cheap shovel looks like yours too. I can't wait to get out and do some more this summer. Your tips are great. Can you please consider doing one for detecting at the beach?
This is really helpful Dan .. Thanks
I have headphones, but won't wear them. Couple times I had trouble with dogs. And there are a lot crazy people around. I need to hear everything so I can be aware 100% of my surroundings. Headphones are good. Depending on where you are. Food for thought.
The gimble looks good. Mazzy's doing great with it. Good video. I actually have everything on your list. My belt is a military one and I have wired headphones.
Very informative and interesting video, cheers guys
Great video. Just a tip on knee pads, your fjallraven trousers have slots in the knees for pads, solves the falling down issue, but not the muddy trouser issue.
I've had my garrett carrot for 3 years and have never had any issues. I detect about 3-5 days a week too, so it's not like I don't use it.
Great video ! In the the process of researching a metal detector looking at the Garrett 400 or Garrett Pro. Video gave me some ideas definitely will purchase the pointer. As far as the rest of the gear I'm a carpenter and I have most everything else. Greatly appreciate your input and feedback thanks. Definitely get a pair of knee pads I had a knee replacement a few years ago. Can't emphasize that enough
Awesome video Deep Digger Dan! U kick ass! ✌️
Are you running a fever? first time you say "i am not a professional" well that´s a first LOL
Love your videos and your sense of comedy....Bless u guys.
Thank you very, very, very much. :)
In fact just watched all the way through - I have my shopping list. PS kids bought me a Tianxun 850 - cheap - If I like it then gonna get a MINELAB EQUINOX 800 - already looking at Roman Road paths and farms (of course permissions allowed) - but reckon first time on the beach to see everything works - Good stuff !!!
Learned a lot! Thank you!
I have a Garrett AT Pro Pinpointer. It's about 2 years old and running strong. I'm glad I haven't had the same issues with it you have had. I definitely need headphones though. I hate getting a great signal only to find people staring at me, like, "Oh, what's he got?"
Really enjoyed!
People may find this useful or not, but I say Thanks for making these!
I can send new members in club to view these as great reference vids at very least.
Today i have got a deteknix pinpointer because i knew you said the are good. I just started metal detecting i have a ace150 and deteknix pinpointer. I know its not that great the 150 but a great starter. Tomorrow im going five miles into the forrest and probably find one off the things ive seen you find the last 5 years. Get in
TY for the great vids.
great video sir lot of great Info thank you .(I'm new to this Hobby
One way to prevent slipping knee pads is to use Velcro affixed to the pants. I don't have any pads as yet, but that is one of the items I need to acquire bcuz my knees are problematic at my age and need that extra proteection.
Well appreciated Vlog, Missing number one So there be11 Accessories! The Babe! Cheers
Loved it keep them comming thnx.
Yes please
Another great video Dan....
Loved it... I wear my pants more than 1 day also!
You can get non moving kneepads. A pair of work trousers (excellent trousers for any outdoor activity) that I had' had large pockets in front of the knees for the addition of pads. Worth seeking out. Iv always found cheap rigger gloves useful as well. My outdoor needs are a bit different as I forage. But heavy rigger gloves are invaluable as the leather is a great protector. I can crack open chestnut cases by hand all day with a pair of those and never get spiked once
