      100% agree, although I'd like to see Channel 4 commission a TV series of Gossip Mongers (podcast) with Joe Wilkinson. These two together are gold.

    Your detector is making those false beeps because its picking up the wire from the coil. Wrap it around the stem of the detector.😊

    My highlights:

    The furious chopping of dirt, surely dicing any ancient metal in to tiny fragments.
    Throwing the carrot for it to land and instantly start beeping.
    Keep up the good work!

    Clever use of a Dutch angle when first detecting. One can only presume those shots will gradually straighten out as the series continues, as David gets more confident. Beautifully deliberate cinematography.

    @robertdourass4123 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi David, loving your work. I started detecting with the same machine a couple of years ago...great first detector. A few tips; get that wire tighter, use the pinpoint mode of the detector before digging - if the strong signal is over a long area, I wouldn't bother digging it (probably a nail or screw). Also, if the signal is jumping all over the place, I would also avoid. Keep your energy for the strong, consistant signals.

    you're using your pinpointer(carrot) the wrong way around. Also; if it doesn't beep consistently, just move on.
    Also, try to keep the coil at a consistent low height above the ground and cover as much ground in your "swing" as you can, but do it steady. Hope it helps.

I see you already know you had the carrot the wrong way around 🤣, it also has 3 sensitivity settings, I've found that the middle setting 2 works best for me. Sometimes on the highest sensitivity it goes off when its near anything even if its not metal, also the 3 beeps are just to remind you that its on.
