- Metal detecting can be a very complex hobby, to get the most out of your metal detector you must understand the settings and the best places to look for treasure.
In this video, Gary visits the Hayling Detect metal detecting club and talks about how to approach a new field that has never been metal detected before, along with top tips and useful information.

I love it when I can get into a virgin forest that hasn't been bothered in 300-400 years and has no trash, and spend 30-40 minutes with no signals while using reactivity of 0-1.5. When you finally get a target in those conditions and enjoy the solitude and untouched nature all around you and start to open the ground, it's such a great feeling, especially when those 300-600 year old coins start popping up and you get to think about who dropped it, why they were there, what they were wearing, where did they come from and where were they going to, etc. It's adventures like this that make using the XP DEUS II so wonderful. Needless to say, I had a fantastic Christmas and New Year holiday digging every day in the untouched forest. Thanks for your videos, Gary.
Great feedback, thanks for contributing 👍🤝
Love your channel I brought deus 1 and you have helped massively I’ve now brought the deus 2 and using one of your programs I have a club dig tomorrow and will be using it I have my own TH-cam channel and will mention you in my video tomorrow and send people your way
Appreciated, thank you 🤝
Love looking at real digging
Cheers Tom, appreciate your thoughts and support
Thanks Gary, I’ve learnt something new in a big iron parch and will give it a go! 👍
Thank you glad it helped.👍🤝
Another great video, Gary! Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome🤝
Thanks for ideas Gary! I am working just like that. Change reactivity and also Audio Respons. Like to search with highest AR and when I get a target, try it with lower AR. Like it a lot.
Also toggle between Gen-Mono-SensFT to get a better picture of the target. Works for the moment anyhow! 🙏
Liked your thoughts in this video!
Thanks from Sweden! But right now in Spain 😝🌞🌞
🇸🇪🙏
Great info, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks as ever Gary 🙏
Cheers Bob 👍
Nice bicycle pic@12:06 😉.. Thanks for the tips for soggy ground. Nice musketball comeback at the end with “.. we can all go home now” 😆 👍🏼
Any time Jean, thanks for watching, next week's video will be about something different.
Thanks for sharing Gary, nice to see you out. Happy New Year 🎉
Cheers Steve 👍
Nice watching you again Gary, thank you for the great tips 👍🏻🙂
So nice of you to say thanks for your support
Well at least the spade went in with no trouble! Thanks for the video Gaz! Old Woodchip from a flooded Virginia.
Thanks BD 🤝
Nicely done. Way to soldier on through all of that mud. HH!
Thanks buddy 👍
Perfect video Gary ... thank you for your amazing work with DEUS 2. 🙂
You are very welcome my friend 🤝
Love that hat Gary, I always wanted an Indian and now own a Chief Vintage. Thanks for the vid.
You and me both! Thanks for watching, in next week's video, you will see my Indian.
Can't wait ✊️
Hi I thought a dector tell the diff between gold and silver than other metals do I have that wrong so u wudnt b digging up ev thing up
Hey Gary🙋🏻♂️, well you certainly made a difference to my digs with this vid, I’ve been struggling for a couple of Mths ( since the last upgrade? ) and dropping the reactivity down to 1 from 2.5 has made a huge improvement …. It’s like the machine is performing like the Deus 1 was with the HF white coil… banging it out, I thank you for sharing your knowledge , all the best, Garry ( with 2 R’s ) 🙏😎
Thanks for your fantastic feedback Garry 👍🤝
Like the Indian hat, I'm about an hour from the museum. We are in snow season up here until late March or early April, so I enjoy these videos Gary. All our fields have gone back to forest, but they have some good coins and relics from the 1700s ...... Those would be "new "items" for you guys I guess!! Thanks again.
Thanks for watching Jay, I think Indians are the coolest bikes ever.
🎉😂🎉😅
Nice one young man gary.from you no 1 fan. From sunny St Breward Cornwall 😊
Big up to Tim, good to hear from you my friend
Nice video Gary! One of my best programs here in the states that I use in old parks and fairgrounds is based off of park with a reactivity of 0.5. I just slow my swing down and sort through the trash. Lots of old silver I've found like that.
Great info thanks for sharing 👍🤝
Thanks Gary, I am quite new to this and use magnet and your nero 1 & 2 program (which brought me my 1st hammered). I am in N.I. so deal with a lot of water when digging. Going to try this out tomorrow in an area that has high iron, high water table and where I found the hammered.
Good luck Geoff
great ideas there Gary, I have never really understood reactivity on my D1 :)
Thanks Neil, just bear in mind the D1 reactivity is not as forgiving as the D2.
Hello England :-) Best wishes to you too Gary, here in Belgium too the fields are oversaturated with water
Thank you my friend 👍🤝
Hi Gary, I really enjoy your videos. I’ve heard you say before that finding an iron area is good news. Can you explain why please? Many thanks. Jo
Iron means habitation
Hi mate. Difficult conditions there. You have to examine those lower numbers I always do especially on our ancient sites, and that small lead had to be investigated. That 0 reactivity just goes to show on the rite field try it, don't be afraid to drop. Informative video mate. 👍
Cheers Paul, every day is a learning day as they say, catch you soon for some detecting mate have a good W/End
If your highly mineralized ground allows it. I can’t get away with anything below 2 reactivity, it just won’t/doesn’t penetrate the soil.
Likes bro 👊👍
Thanks my friend 🤝👍
Credit where it’s due Gary there ain’t no book or no body that knows there way around a D 1 or D2 like you do , Just when I think I’ve got to grips with the D 2 you open up a whole new chapter and then back it up with your videos 😁👍
Cheers Kev, planning a ride out to crazy Horse when the weather gets better.
@@The-skillschool Would be good to catch up , I was drooling in there showroom last week , I had to collect some products from next door for our daughter , There cafe is awesome I’ll get the coffees and bacon rolls 👍
High water table tends to disperse the iron halos, making the ground more quiet than when it's dry. Reactivity of 0.5 and Sensitivity of 98 are normal for me. Good vid!
Great info thanks 👍
That is a dead quiet site. Now that hole is water logged. You have high and low days for sure, but the best part is you get to go out. Gary Nice e-bike, I guess you can tell I watch the video from start to finish. You found the iron spot. Do you ever dig a hole and coin test a site with different programs?
Thanks DDS, very observant of you....Gold star in the post :) next Friday's video will be interesting.
Time was very limited so I didn't play around with different programs
Thanks Gary. Its getting pretty soggy over here too.
Thanks Danny 🤝👍
Hi Gary. Quick question please around custom programming. I have the full D2 and usually use it as full. Iv got a custom program I use that Iv changed tones tone breaks etc… when I use it as the master without the remote that programe isn’t saved to the ws6 so I can’t use it. Can it be copied across or is it not possible? It did need expert mode changes on the remote. Thankyou 🤞🏻
With the D2 you need to input the RC custom programs to the WS6 separately.
Yes you can access tone breaks with the WS6.
I think I have an online video on it somewhere.
@@The-skillschool thanks il give it a search and get my head around it 👍
Do you suggest a frequency scan every hunt? Someone in a group brought this topic up-he said there is evidence of silent emi and said to do it.
Yes it's always good practice to do a Freq scan.
Hi Gary. Any recommendation to a programme to hone in on solid iron targets? I’m off to a WW2 site or two with Op Nightingale so Pentico Woods where Easy Co, 101st trained 😊 I found a cricket clicker that sparked so much interest that it’d be amazing to match that for the archaeologists that I’ll be with. Ade Ledbury
My suggestion would be the Relic or Goldfield modes.
Thank you. I’ll be trying them both and will let you know and comment here how I fare. Appreciate all your videos 🤩🫵🫡
Gary does the reactive speed have a lot of bearing on swing speed, I swing slow to begin with?
Yes I think it does, faster reactivities require a "confident sweep"
Thanks, I’m trying to learn this machine. Coming from a nox800 it’s very difficult for me 🤦🏼♂️
@@tobybobo6539 it will help if you use the Square High tone
I will try that thank you
Hi can u pls let me wat kind of detector u can recommend for beginners
What is your budget?
@@The-skillschool thanks for replying 300 euro there abouts I thought they tell u if it gold r silver so u want b digging up.every nail.u find am I mistaken about that side of it thanks again for replying
@@KeithDalton-bk2oj you could look at a used XP ORX or save a little more and get a used XP Deus 1.
Hi there. I’ve recently charged up my ‘deus xr’ detector. But my head ‘ws5’ headphone won’t connect to my coil for some reason? There’s a symbol of the coil in the top right, but not a symbol next to it. Which I think is the radio link? Any idea’s on how I can fix this? I’ve tried putting in my part number and nothing happens
Check serial number, sometimes an 8 is a B, D is an 0 and so on.
I’ve triple checked. The numbers I’ve put in are correct! It also has two battery symbols. One is full 3 bars, the other is empty. The coil is charged as it stays lit for 5 seconds then goes off. My headphones have been charging for 1 hour so they can’t be dead. I’m really baffled because when I google ‘radio link with coil not working’ there’s no forums. Really sorry to bother you
Whats your preferred mode for iron n coke pastures moors n farmland?
Full tone perhaps
Yea flipping Minelabs !!!😂
😀👍
Evening , off topic I know but I noticed the Indian headwear . Have you come over to the dark side ? 😂
It will make more sense on Friday 😃
Hello can you give an idiot's guide to reactivty, and what id would do on my simplex light pleeeese.. 😢
I don't use a Simplex but my next few videos will cover reactivity.
