Metal Detecting A Long Deep Cut In The Beach

- This is long and boring. My first time using new GoPro camera, I don't quite have the hang of it yet. I didn't have my scoop, so had to use a shovel.
My arm rest broke off early on, had to strap the broken cuff around my arm to keep detecting. Never realized how difficult it is to use without the arm rest.
I created this video with the TH-cam Video Editor because I had no other way to do it. - บันเทิง

Chris,
Something to "HELP" your broken cuff that works well if the dealer warranty fails:
Most building supply (Home Depot) type stores have "specialty" cabinets filled with stainless, brass, and "nylon nuts,bolts, etc. Ask them for a 5/16 or 3/8 inch carriage bolt, nut, and washer in NYLON. It's very strong, non-metalic, and handles colder weather well. For a couple bucks and a simple task you can be back up to speed. Drilling a hole to marry up the pieces is easy, however I suggest first using a smaller than required bit to pilot the hole for easy placement. At least you'll be up and running immediately if the dealer has to order parts.
Hope this helps you ~ Outlaw ~
So much better when the viewer can hear what you are hearing and learn how to do it, unlike some of the other videos!
Not so boring. It is nice to watch you detect in real conditions. Not so easy to get out a nice target from the sand. Black sand, lead...means GOLD. I am in France and get a E-Trac as well.
Nice video...Thanks for sharing your adventures! Happy Hunting!
Great video, fun to watch
***** Thanks for watching. I'm still figuring out the new camera.
Good hunt. Nice ring and bottles.
WildDigger Thanks for watching.
Nice hunt that beach looks awesome. Would have liked to see a close up of the ring. Happy hunting
chris, as you know we are both from CT. as cold as it has been i am really impressed you are out there with the M D. great job buddy. peace!!!!!!!!
John David It wasn't too bad that day, in the 30s. I put hand warmers in my gloves, otherwise my hands would be numb. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for watching.
Grats on the nice finds... GL & HH
Thank goodness I always had my scoop. If I had to do a long stretch like that with just a shovel I would have gone mad! At least you had the pin pointer still to save some time. Nice finds though. Got to love those cuts. Just a treasure chest waiting to be opened. Sucks about the cuff. I broke one on my ACE 250 once and did it ever make a difference.
It's almost impossible to swing it without the arm cuff. I just strapped the whole piece around my arm under the detector, it was still hard to swing but I had no other way to fix it. Thanks for watching.
I tried using tape on mine when it broke, but just still bended right where the tape was. Fortunately I was able to get a replacement from Garrett for nothing. Hopefully you can reach out to the manufacture as well and see what happens.
McQ 02 I think mine is still under an extended warranty from the dealer so I'll try that, otherwise I'll just buy a new one. I'm gonna try to rig something up temporary so I can use it in the meantime.
Hope it works out for you. It sucked using a broken one for a week.
Thank you very much 😊😊
great video !!!
cool video thats one big ole shovel haha
Great hunt! 2 silvers, cant beat it!
Thanks for watching.
Nice work bud, sweet saves. Best of luck and HH

That arm strap on the E trac is well known for breaking and coming off the buckle. I don't understand why Minelab wont fix this ongoing problem. Nice hunt,
Allan Douglass I fixed mine for the time being with a fender washer. I'm still going to replace it anyway. The strap is way too short. Probably better off just rigging your own strap through the slots or getting an aftermarket cuff. Thanks for the comment.
good job
Great hunt, that ring looked sweet. I broke my arm cuff also (Etrac) Minelab wants $30 for a replacement, I ordered a Jeff Herke aluminium one. He's on ebay $48, seller name is jeffthga. To fix yours get a large washer to cover that hole and screw it back on. :) HH & GL, Dan
Wormkiller Dan The Minelab cuff strap is way too short. Mine's extended all the way and it's still a tight squeeze if you have a jacket on. That's why mine broke. I saw Coinazoid's vid on the Jeff Herke one, it looks much better. I may buy that if I can't get it replaced under warranty. That's a good tip with the washer, I'm gonna try that. Gonna bring a bigger strap with me in case that fails too. Thanks for watching.
Good job on your hunt.
DetectorBerbs Thanks for watching.
You can date the old glass coke bottles by the number on the bottom. There should be a 2 digit number which is the year it was made. Typically 40's-60's in the clear bottles. Not worth a whole lot I believe, or at least I have gotten lucky picking up many for cheap along the way. I've heard there are a few valuable ones out there, but I can't recall which ones.
McQ 02 I know most of them aren't worth a whole lot. This one was marked NY on the bottom, don't remember the numbers. Thanks for watching.
I found so many out and about I finally just made a couple sets of them. The wooden crates from that time if you see them are pretty good money though. Hopefully not refinished or repainted as well. You might have a hot spot for bottles on your hands there. Always worth the recycling money if nothing else.
Enjoyed your video very much. We just got a M.D. do u recommend the beach over parks & schools? Anyways, nice bottles & ring...looked fun.
3greatgreyhounds3 Whatever your personal preference is. I like parks just because there's usually more targets, but they both can be good or bad.
Thanks, & beautiful view on the beach... I'm sure I'll give all a go...thanks for answering ;)
Where is this? Someone say Connecticut? I was born there- remember the mud but also more stones
Hehehe typical metal detectorist - omg... is that... a ring?? *quickly stands up and looks left to right* Good no one is close.... *picks it up*. I do the same thing!! hehehe
wish i had metal detector
Where did you buy your metal detecter?
Reece Nielsen I ordered it online. My first one from Kellyco, my second one from Big Boys Hobbies. You can look them up online.
what detector are you using?
***** It's an E-Trac.
***** thanks
Nice video just subed you
Beeping Mad Thanks, I'll check out your channel.
if that was either Gulf Beach or Jennings beach i swear to god cause i never find anything good there
I'm not sure what that beach is called, it's near Black Rock. I was just down here visiting. I might hit it again before I leave.
o ok
Isn't that sad. Minelab is one of the best detectors out there, yet paying almost $1500 for that ETrac, you get cheap plastic arm cuffs that break off like that. Makes me wary about buying Minelab.
It would be worth going in water when it's warm . That stuff is coming in from somewhere
What beach.
Take the bottle of the beach FFS!
