I am very Interested in metal detecting! I have not started yet and was wondering if it's ok if I purchase an inexpensive detector seeing as I am just beginning..? Would it still work as well? Any suggestions on which one? I just can't afford $1,000 machine at this time.
Hello Lauren, yes there is an inexpensive detector that I highly recommend. Go to the description of this video and you will find a link for the NOKTA SIMPLEX it is a very good detector and is easy to use. Please let me know if I can help further.
@Roger Miller from what I have heard it is a good beginners detector but I have never used it so I can't say for sure
@Laffin Hyena below the video you should see the title of the video and to the right of the title should be a down arrow, click on that to open the video description then you will find the links there.
Hey man I'm very interested in metal detecting but I havent got one yet and was wondering what the cheapest option, and the easiest to use one for detecting everything that you said at the start in one metal detector, is there any like the mine lab that is less expensive and easier to use?
Just got my first detector, been looking at them for years... this video was SO helpful! Watched it twice. Been out in my yard twice after spending some time with the instructions and the setup of my detector. So far I found two gutter straps, a 1979 quarter, a 1980 penny, some wire and my late dog Maggie's sterling silver dog tag that she lost in 2012. (made me cry some 😥) Anyway.. thanks so much for this video!!
Glad to be able to help. Sorry for your loss but now you have a piece of her to keep. Thanks for watching
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting This morning I found a 1953 penny in my yard! Now I'm hooked! LOL thx again. 😁
@@dashdogpatriot5883 nice, congratulations
Made me cry
The coolest find in my book was Maggie's tag
Don't make the mistake of not double checking your plug after you've found something. Sometimes there's multiple things in the plug and when you find one, you think "Well, that's it," and you put the plug back into the hole without continuing to check it for other objects.
I'm just getting into this at the young age of 70 ... hopefully that's not too old, but this is by far one of the best videos I've found, Larry is laid back and smooth. I hope starting out with the ACE 300 wasn't a waste of money, meaning I hope I shouldn't have spent $1000 instead of $250 thanks for this great video. BTW, where can I get a pouch like yours?
I'm getting excited looking forward to getting over a stroke i had,
I need all th info I can get and ways to do things,
Thank you guys god bless you and have more great huts. I believe ill be up and going soon!
Great info for beginners and well done but I would like to add some important info for your viewers .
Knowing the location of any possible underground utilities is extremely important . This applies to major utilities like power,phone,coax cable,fiber optic cables water, and natural gas lines which will usually be put into a common trench line but not always .
Most times they're down pretty deep but once again -- not always .
I've been a repair technician and I've done utilities locating professionally for several years and I've definitely done my share of digging up lines and seen some lines that were barely under the grass including power lines . I've had to go to emergency locates where someone had dug into a power cable and got hurt pretty bad and in one incident the dig operator was burned over 60% of their body .It was a site I had previously located and had informed the construction company who had requested the locate that the power cable was pretty shallow and to be extremely careful but they didn't heed the warning . It's absolutely imperative to ask questions about the area and the utilities and where there might be sprinkler systems or private wiring like lighting etc and to always exercise caution . Unfortunately that one incident is one of many I could talk about but figured it was worth mentioning . If you haven't already done a video regarding this subject could you please do one ?
Happy (safe) treasure hunting !!
Excellent tips! I'm going to do my 2 acres and good thing we had our lines tagged last year
Wherever this guy is shooting this video from is where I want to be. Beautiful scenery.
Feel as tho it is a green screen XD
That was a town called Peck Idaho. It is where I use to live. Thanks for watching
I recently started myself with my 9 yr old son. our first find was a ring i believe to be silver and a bunch of trash. Some modern coins on the second time out. Fell in love with this hobby❤️
Very nice, congratulations
Being a natural resources major, I really appreciate the practices you teach about leaving no trace and respect of the land and people’s property.
Thank you, I appreciate you
Really helpful guide for beginners like myself. Also thanks for teaching people to respect the land, refill holes and gain permission from land owners. I'll do my best! :D
Thanks for watching and good luck hunting
Myself and my son and daughter (11 & 9) completed our very first detecting day outside of our backyard (just junk there so far). It was a popular FL beach (tourists and detectorists alike). It was hot so they wore out quickly and retired to swimming the surf! It was a bust for paying for the gas there and back (found all of $0.52!) Found and disposed of a lot of beer cans, pull tabs, pop tops, and tent stakes mostly. But most of all we got to LEARN some hard but also some fun lessons and experiences. The kids shared pinpointing and digging (big mistake not having a sand scoop!!). We WILL be back out, and will try different, (less hunted hopefully) beaches as well as any other site we can access. Thanks for the beginner tips!
I am a novice detector but I really enjoy your channel, you take the time to show and explain everything. I like that you show thumbnails of cleaned items and show both trash and treasure. I am binge watching your channel till I get caught up and will follow you as one of my favorites along with my local detectorist detector moe, Keep up the great work.
Thank you James, I appreciate you
17 here and love MD. Wish there were more teens who did it
There are a few out there but many don't appreciate the history anymore.
Glad to see you're passing down good ethics to your son! That sir, is a rare find. Good job, I see that you're a Dad, not simply a father.
Thank you James
Been doing this for awhile now but even watching your tutorial it still gets me pumped to get out there and dig some more . Loved the video I’ll bet it’s helped a lot of people.
Thank you Ryan I appreciate it
@@SodBustersMetalDetecting I have a grand daughter who’s 1 and I can’t wait to introduce her to detecting like you did your son. Gonna be fun.
I just got a metal detector yesterday and this was a very helpful and informative video, I live near an abandoned sulfur mining town and cant wait to put this new knowledge to action.
That is awesome! Be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon so you dont miss upcoming videos. I hope you find a pile of treasure.
You are such an awesome representative for this hobby! Love the video!
Thank you, I appreciate it 😊
You know his dad went out and seeded those perfectly stacked quarters so his son could find them. Hook him early and got a partner for life...lol. Love it!
I remember when I was little I would go to my grandparents on occasion. I used to love looking under his favorite recliner for his fallen change and stuff. I only found out later he used to drop it down there on purpose because he knew I liked digging for treasure. I love him for that. It is the little things that make great memories.
Actually this was a true coin spill and it made us both very happy. Thank you for watching and happy hunting 😊
Just got my Minelab yesterday and will be watching all your videos. Thanks for breaking down the steps so well. I can’t wait to get started!
Feel free to join the Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group also and reach out with any questions.
I JUUUUUST bought a Minelab Equinox 800 today (1-14-2023). Before I even unbox it, I'm going to learn all I can from your channel. Plus, the ground is frozen, so I just as well get all the tutorial videos in before the warm weather hits. I'm up here in Southeast Idaho and am looking forward to doing some serious treasure hunting!
We reside in the same state. Here is a playlist of tutorials for you. th-cam.com/play/PLjrtO2dCo3KHkjtqTrlcCWu4Q6OpFeyIL.html

Thank's Dan. This is an excellent video for 'newbies' like me! I especially liked the 'dirt towel' for leaving no trace in lawns and well maintained landscaping.
My name is Larry and you are welcome.
Thank you. This was very clear.
Very thankful for your video training and most impressed your communion with your son, thanks for the expertise .
Thank you, I appreciate you watching
Love watching your videos!
I’ve owned an equinox 800 for almost 3 years and it’s never been used. I’m now finding time and plan on getting out with it very soon. I’ve been watching your videos to try and refresh my memory on how to use it.
I’ve had kept it charged up and the last download I did was the 2.0. I see now that there’s a 3.0 , but I’m going to hold off on installing that after watching some of you videos. Thanks for all your time in helping people like me to learn the Equinox.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and good luck hunting!
Wonderful! To preserve the place and nature is superb and a clean job for all prospectors

This video is awesome! Thanks for all the help
Thank you for watching
Great video. Easy to follow, and gave me a good idea of what to expect.
I have to decide on my gear, and I wasn't even aware of the drop cloth, the spritzer, and the toothpicks.
Feel free to contact Dan at outlawmetaldetectors.com and ge will help you get setup.
You did a great job. good for beginners and a refresher for others

I concur, have gone through a number of shovels and handheld diggers, they didn’t last very long at all, now have invested in the proper shovel
I just got my equinox 600. This video really helped me out a lot! Thanks for making it!
You bet. You can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group if you want
Outstanding video. I just broke into the hobby, I bought a Fisher f22 metal detector, the Lesche trowel and a Garrett pro pointer. I watched your video and got a better understanding of patients and technique while sweeping. Today was my first trip out to the beach and a local park, I spent two hours and netted a broken key, a lug nut, a Matchbox car, a disposable vape pen, and Massachusetts state quarter that was at ground level hidden by the grass....it was a good day and I'm hooked.
Awesome, congratulations
Also great video for beginners! Thank you for the knowledge
Thank you for watching
Thanks for the video. I want to get into metal detecting / treasure hunting. Your video was the first one on the list when I ran a search.
Thanks for the great content. I liked, subscribed and hit the bell.
Thank you Jeff. Metal Detecting is a great hobby with a lot of rewarding times. If you Decide to start the hobby let me know and I can help you decide what you will need
Awesome video! Thank you for talking about gloves. Plus the use of a cloth. Helps everyone.
Thanks for watching
Great Video. Really like that you show how to do a proper plug and the ethics we all should have. Great job,,,,,,,,,,Don,,,,,,,,,
Thank you Don I appreciate you
Thanks for makin this video guys this is soooooooo excellent.
Thank you for watching
I just got a metal detector for Christmas. It’s my first ever so I’m a total newbie to this . I’m looking forward to what I might find. My husband bought it for me. I’ve never seen anyone use a drop towel before ,what a good idea.
Yes if you are in a nice yard or park. It is the cleanest way. Congrats on the new detector. Feel free to find Sod Busters Metal Detecting group on Facebook also. Happy hunting
Thanks for the great info / tips this has helped!
You bet. Feel free to find Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group and you can ask questions and post your finds.
Great video!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. I have been detecting for about 7 years and I learned some new things from your video today. 1 thing.... loosen the dirt in the plug before putting the plug back. I should have thought of that!! 🤯. I consider my pinpointer a MUST. I have bought several and Garrett’s is far and away the best (in my opinion). Cost a little more but worth it to me! I chase some things around with it for a while sometimes. 😂. I will certainly be sharing!! Good job Larry & Ben!!
Thank you my friend I appreciate it. Happy treasure hunting 😊
When I first started metal detecting was with a Jetco Mustang metal detector from a neighbor who had it for his grand kids but they didn't want it,he gave it to me & what started my hobby,that was in 1976 .
Thats awesome, happy hunting
Lots of good tips there. I'd like to see your waist belt kit too. That looks good, you look organized. Drop-cloth is good and trowel type is excellent choice.
Hi you guys i,m from the UK and I must say I am just doing a bit of "RESEARCH " on the detecting and you guys have me convinced it,s a good way of doing something super interesting ,, and I love the way you,ve have the kids interested in it . anyway good luck I,m sure you both find something cool
It is a great hobby for sure. Find a local dealer to help you get set up. I think you'll love it.
brillant video so much information after a 45yr break, got me a x-terra 705 and making some tools for digging for now ,will get permisson and keep it tidy like you showed thank you. im in Wales in the UK>
Awesome, thanks for watching
Great video, thank you for teaching me
My pleasure 😊
What fantastic scenery.
Yes its a beautiful area.
Thank you I figured it out .
GREAT INTRODUCTORY VIDEO !!! Suscribed! THANK YOU!!

Just ordered my dector online last night- thank you for this helpful video
Your welcome Heather. You can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group if you'd like
I just got a garrett AT pro package new in the box for $30 at a thrift store. It's an amazing machine.
You are one cool dad. Thank you for the video, friend!
Thank you 😊
I have to say Sir, although this all may seem quite basic, I've gained a lot of respect for what you are demonstrating, and this will go a long way to preserving future access for all Detectorists. Thanks for showing this Newbie the right way of doing things.
Thank you for watching
My friend, it is so nice to meet outstanding human beings such as yourself. I enjoyed your tutorial immensely but it is your care for others and animals that touched me and make me feel good about others in this world. Some complain that masculinity is gone or under attack but real masculinity has always been best defined by the gentleman of the world, like my father, who we just lost two months ago, and by men like you...Outstanding video my friend! Thank you.
Thank you William. I am very sorry for your loss. May God comfort your heart!
Appreciate your video, very informative thank you
Thank you for watching 😊
Really enjoyed your video, very helpful, thank you
Thanks for watching 😊
Great info, thank you.
You bet, thanks for watching
We just started and have only searched beaches so this is very helpful on what to do at a park.
Glad to be of help. Good luck hunting
Thanks so much for the tips trying to get my research in for when I do get to go out there, this is something that I've always been fascinated with just haven't been financially able enough yet to get me a metal detector,hoping to change that soon lol. Keep up the the good work sir! And thank you so much!
Thank you for watching 😊
What a great video, thanks! My stepdad recently passed away God love him. I took possession of one of his metal detectors, a White’s Spectrum XLT. I’m excited to get out with my son and start hunting!
I am sorry for your loss. I have found many treasures with the xlt. Good luck hunting
Thank you for you amazing video I bought my first detector 2 days ago it is a Ginour MD-3040 I have set it up just need 9v batteries coming Wednesday your video is invaluable in relation to the good manners in and around a dig I will not forget this I am a bit nervous but excited to get started I have just subscribed to your Chanel lots of your vids to see thank you again my journey begins.
Awesome! Have fun with it and may your treasure box be full
Thank you!
Thank you for watching
Thank you.
I'm 64 years old I only detector and I didn't know much about it until I ran into you on TH-cam which is a blessing or like Google and I want to thank you for your your experience and I'm going to take it in start digging thank you.
That is awesome Joseph. You can also find me on Sod Busters Metal Detecting Facebook group and I can help there as well. Happy hunting

You bet, good luck hunting
Picked up my coffee mug Larry...thanks for sharing what you've learned
Thank you. I appreciate you watching
I'm in the UK and having had an old Whites Spectrum that I played with for a few months 20 years ago, I've just bought a Nokta Makro Simplex and decided to have a serious go at the hobby. I'm about to go out with a big group for the first time and your video was really useful to know what kit I needed. I've bought all of it including some bluetooth headphones, though not all the same makes. Thanks again.
Norm
Good luck hunting
Howdy:
I just want to show you my appreciation for this specific video. It is the first time I watch you explain the "treasure-detecting world" Realy a master class Sir. Thanks for your very descriptive and detailed video. I am still in the starting process. I already bought my metal detector. Thanks to you I learn about what other tools I might need to have a successful, fun, and luckily discover. It is great to have an assistant like your son, never a better one I would say..... again I will be in touch, thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I just subscribed to your channel and of course, gave you a like. this is a hobby still in baby steps but very excited about it. Have a blessed day.
