- HELLO! Hope you're doing well today! I know I am!
Today we are beach metal detecting testing out the new Minelab X-Terra ELITE metal detector. (NOT SPONSORED)
It's not always about the metal detector... there is LUCK, TIMING and PERSISTENCE involved...
Previous episode - Metal Detecting The LEGEND (This coil is Awesome)
• Metal Detecting The Le...
I enjoy trying different metal detectors to keep things fresh and test how each works while learning their strengths and weaknesses along the way.
Metal Detectors I currently use in my videos:
In this video I was testing the Minelab XTerra Elite.
Nokta Makro Simplex +
Nokta Legend
Garrett Ace Apex
Minelab Vanquish 440
Minelab X-Terra PRO
Minelab Equinox 600
XP Deus II
XP ORX
(TOO MANY!)
Gear I use while detecting-
Gopro Action Camera
Cheap Amazon Hand Digging Tool
XP Pinpointer
Thank you for your time!
I believe...and correct me if I'm wrong. This may be THE FIRST documented case of someone actually finding the chain AFTER the pendant was located lol. I've been doing this for 15 years and NEVER found the chain once. GOOD JOB!
Always look... NEVER find it!!
Ditto!
Excellent hunt, Austin! Well done! I dug a 10k girls HS class ring from 1924 last week. 100 years old! Happy hunting!
did you find the owner? ;-}
so cool
He probably didn't dig THAT deep
He probably didn't dig THAT deep
I’m glad a nice guy got to find some gold. Congrats
I'm pretty confident that your Jesus figure is made of (white Gold), because it would have to say that there is also 925 ( sterling) as well. I don't think they would mix junk metal with precious metal. Great Hunt and congratulations on all your finds. 🙂👍
Can be this detector able to detect gold bar or bullion 5 meters under the ground? Thanks for your response in advance
@byronhewitt3463 you're correct, any bi metal jewellery should have both stamps. Also the reason junk metal isn't combined with precious metals is that you physically can't join them. They simply won't solder together. Silver & gold can be soldered no problem. It's much easier to solder 2 golds though because the melting temperature is much closer
Ive found plenty of white gold, can't say I've ever seen one with 925 stamped on it next to the gold stamp ?? @@navanawatt8415
@@brianrescallar4077 5 meters would be a lot, I doubt most handheld detectors can read that deep
@@navanawatt8415 Soldering jewelry, it is easier if both metals have same or close melt temp. Between silver and gold you have to have a solder that melts below either one's melt temp. That will probably mean
This is what iv been waiting for. a real test in sea water! Ordering mine now. Thanks for the vid and congrats on the awesome finds!
I need to take it to a bigger beach to give it a real test but I'm thinking it should run pretty stable if it's got the Vanqush / Equinox multi-IQ.
Good luck out there!
Well done on the chain...buy yourself a new pouch,before you start losing gold..determination is all you need to find gold..but the better the machine,the more you will find,
How cute was the pink paw. ☺ It was good to see that the sand flattener didn't scoop up much of the surface, leaving the treasures in tact. The one on our beaches here actually sifts the sand to remove 💉and stuff, so it probably scoops up most of the treasures, as well.
Almost gave a thumbs down because you gave me the option at the end and then my subconscious basically screamed at me that I better not and that I was entertained the entire time and it deserves a thumbs up....well played....thumbs up.
I found like almost 1000$ in gold in like not even a month going out every now and then, that’s not including the nice sterling fakes too…this machine is my best friend lol
Great find! This is why we Always dig the 4 signal! 😅
It was a fine day for detecting. The machine worked great for you. Nice finds.
Waaaaaay to go Austin! You found gold!! Whoop whoop!🎉
Optimism pays off, so does tenacity. Nice finds brother. 🤙
The first time I bought my detector a bounty hunter back in the 90s I was testing it in my backyard and found a gold chain I got 45 bucks for scrap. Then, I found this mound of metal I thought was a meteorite. I sent it to another state through the mail and they analysed it and it was just solder.
Holy! This is my favorite video of metal detecting
I had the Pro model and upgraded to the Elite. Best money I ever spent. Mine paid for itself in one month on the weekends.
I've been using the Minelab Equinox 800 iq metal detector for a few months now. It's a really good metal detector.👍
Congrats on the gold Austin!!!
My cat wants the race cars! She loves playing with them. That item is called a rope chain, and that pendant with a silver colored Jesus on it is probably white-gold on the Jesus part.
Congrats on the Gold Florida! It is beautiful! What a hunt!
Great hunt AUSTIN. The zipper you have to get it back on the other teeth too try a strait screw driver insert on the sidethat is off the track on the zipper pull give a lil twist to spread that side just wide enough to get it back on track then slide it all the way back (wide open)and squeeze the opening WITH needlenose pliers back to original size should fix it TRY AND SEE IF IT ZIPPS THEN ADJUST IT TO WORK GOOD AS POSSIBLE..... LOL HAHAHAHA
If your non-waterproof metal detector ever gets wet...first thing is to turn it off (if you can) then immediately remove the batteries and dry them off. Then remove the electronics from its case, clean it off and let it totally dry. Then reassemble. Many times you luck out and save a good detector...
Congrats on that gold bonanza! Two really nice pieces of gold. If I remember you got a gold anchor years ago also so seems to be a nautical trend with you. Can't wait to try my elite when it comes next week.
Tip-If you pinch the sides of the zipper with pliers a little together on your pouch the zipper will work
Now you are going to do more water hunts.
Trying to figure out how the finds paid for the $479 metal detector. How much could you get for the gold chain at a pawn shop or jeweler?
Nice finds,I have a Garrett 350 and a mine lab gold monster haven't got a chance to really explored it yet,gotta find the time and places to do it.
Finding the spot can be the hardest part... but it's worth it. :)
You ight consider using a mesh finds bag for water hunting. Lorraine at RTG, Reilly's Treasured Gold in Pompano Beach stocks a custom made mesh bag, used by south florida pro's who make a living at this. I found it to be far more durable than the Kellyco mesh bag. BTW, Lorraine is a grest source of information about south florida treasure hunting going back decades. If you were writing a book on the subject, she would be the first one you'd want to consult. Her uncle was Kevin Reilly, one of South Florida's more legendary beach hunters from the 1970s to 2009. He founded RTG decades ago. She stocks his book on hunting most florida beaches from the Treasure coast on down to key biscayne. She has other treasure hunting volumes too. Ask her to show you photos from her friends and customers. Some amazing stuff never posted on the interweb. Well worth a visit and a schmooze even if you don't need any new kit presently. Oh...she has great deals for used detectors on consignment. Just sayin' because I been buyiing my gear there and its a lot more interesting than clicking on amazon.
They are waterproof without the cap. The cap is more for dust and dirt build up. Salt water may cause some corrosion with cap
Bottle cap fools gold😅 Been there, done that!
Congrats on joining the gold chain club. Minelabs beginning with the equinox are deadly on fine gold chains. Try a Reilly Treasured Gold mesh pouch for water hunts.
Nice finds! Love the pendant of course. 😁
A kid watching the video: Dad, that’s my Hot Wheels!!
Happy Digs Great beach hunt gratz on the treasure👍👍👍
I got a vanquish 340, went to the park and I have found a lot of aluminum and four or five 9mm bullets. Pretty fun! Can't wait to dig up something fancy
Keep on trying! A lot of the times the treasure hides within the trash... just gotta keep swingin'! (:
@@TreasureOutdoors well it didn’t take long lol. I found my girlfriend’s dad’s wedding ring he lost about 10 years ago, then went to a park near me and found a chain from a necklace which might (strong emphasis) be gold. I’m not too sure how to know if it’s gold without bringing it somewhere, but it’s heavy and not magnetic 😄
I think the vanquish is one of the best beach metal detectors for ergonomics however it's crippled because it's not waterproof
Hey Austin. Awesome finds. It's a great feeling when you know your finds have paid for the detector...and on the first outing! By the way, from what I can tell on Minelab's website, the X-Terra Pro coils are compatible with the Elite. So your v8x should work on the Elite also. My Elite hasn't arrived yet, so haven't confirmed myself.
Yeah that is a rope chain. Awesome hunt. The Xtera Elite ran so smoothly and quietly in the water. That might be better then the Equinox 600.
Hello what the exact name lf this kind of Shovel you are using please ? Maybe a link if you have . Thanks mate
GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you live nearby and walk to the beach? I live in St Pete and all the beach parking is like $5 per hour.
That’s just gross. 😧
You got to pay or get a pass for all the beaches in my area too, it sucks, there's a couple beaches within biking distance of me but they are all lousy beaches
Some smaller beaches you can get parking permits for a year which helps out with cost if you go there a lot.
But some of the bigger beaches you end up spending $30 to park for a couple hours and find a couple pennies lol.
It's still fun! 🏖
@@TreasureOutdoors thanks for the tip. I appreciate your channel keep posting.
Great find Austin!! Very happy for you. Jordan
My wife's Xterra Pro is a gold sniffing machine itself. The beach mode is actually multi although Minelab says it's 8Hz
Can I know what type of camera you use, do you place it on your chest or head, and what settings do you use so that everyone can benefit from your experience? Thank you for the wonderful video😊
Nice gold anchor 🔱⚓ I havnt found any gold this season, but I've found a silver chain and a couple silver rings
Yeah getting a new headlamp got me out on the morning before sunrise to test it out, new toys can be motivating at first when you want to test them
Keep looking, it's out there! Silver is sweet too. 👍
very nice indeed , Thanks for sharing PPO out 😎
You ended up with a nice haul. Congrats on the gold. So good. Now that the weather is warm and more people are outdoors, your treasure tally might ramp up a bit. 🙂 Good on you, Austin.
If this isn’t a testimonial to buy the Xterra Elite, nothing is! Great finds with that new Minelab! Nothing better than taking your Xterra Elite out on it’s maiden detection voyage and find enough Gold to cover the cost of the detector! Surely many good times ahead with that Xterra Elite! Can’t wit to see more of it in action and any coparisons you come up with! Congrats on your Gold finds! Well done!
Added: Today I purchased the Xterra Elite Expedition Pack as I just couldn’t pass up such a great value for such a capable detector.
Awesome finds congrats 👏🏻
Would love to see the Vanquish thrown in on that comparison too. I'm trying to sell my 540 so I can buy the Elite
Very nice!
Looks like the multi Elite can do great things.. Helps to have an experienced treasure hunter too who knows a few things..well done buddy.
some nice finds recovered
Nice to see your finds! Gr from the Netherlands
Very cool. I'm trying to decide which detector to purchase.
Awesome hunt Austin, congrats on the gold you've been long over do 👍
The EQ600 vs Elite would be a great video. Also im looking at purchasing one of the two. Mixed statements on if the EQ600 is really waterproof or not which is very important to me cause ive already killed a Vanquish in the surf!!!!
ID not stable like equinox and vanquish. Same thing for Xterra Pro. Like 👍🏻 🇮🇹
The gold necklace and chain are absolutely beautiful. Anchored in his love ✝
Holy moly! What a day! May I ask where you are located?
Nice little finds. Toy cars. Bits of jewelry. 👍🏻
What model ckg scoop are you using, and how is it holding up, have you used it in gravely conditions? Great hunt. Gl & hh.
Great hunt and congrats on the gold! I just picked up the elite a week ago and it's a fantastic machine on the beach and in the parks. Much much better and very stable vdi compared to the pro.
Now you got me jealous LOL !
Finally some sweet sweet GOOOOOOOLD!
Congratz on your find! Have to say funny thing. I found mine first gold chain with pendant at the same day as you did ! Just a bit thinner with smaller pendat(s). One was silver and thats why i probably got it. Been very lucky.
Awesome!!
Hi. What was the name of this detector? Great finds..
Can you recommend a decent reliable metal detector for a relative beginner? I bought a cheap one on the rainforest and it is garbage (does not work even with planted targets). Thanks
Chain after the pendant - holy grail. I just got the pro not too long ago. And ended up getting elite not a week or so ago. I was hoping the same thing that the jumpy signals would be gone with it. I haven’t used elite yet but plan on taking it on its maiden voyage at cocoa beach this coming week.
Wish you luck! Minelab machines have always treated me good, something about the tones just soothe the soul. lol
Agree with you there Minelab tones are soothing
Hey! Love the channel. I do want to ask you a question though. I’m into metal detecting now and had a good beginners one for some time now. I want to get a more professional one. What would you recommend? At the same time, I don’t want to be spending a lot of money lol. What’s a good metal detector for a decent price? Or could you name a few brands that are good and decently priced?
What sort of process do you follow to get the items back to the owners?
Great job on gold. The new detecter is doing great.
I just got an email with a software update for the X-Terra Pro. If you still have yours, maybe the update will help.
Good info, thanks! I read it might have something to do with noise canceling... but that could still be helpful.
Great show will catch the next live😊
WTG on the chain and pendant , very nice find. you give me hope and make me wanna get out there. iv only started last year and have found a few rings n cheap stuff. still have not dug up any gold but I have hope , Happy hunting
I don't often find great stuff... but it comes every once in a while and the feeling is always amazing when it does come.
Keep on getting out there, wish you luck!
Outstanding!! Nice way to justify the cost of new detector. Optimism is the way to go! Really nice pendant and chain. For sanity sake, can you put the settings you used on the Minelab X-Terra ELITE in the water? Thanks for the video!
I forget the exact settings but I know I was experimenting between beach 1 & 2. I had my sensitivity around 20 and also was adjusting my recovery speed between 2-3. Will try to keep it in mind for the future!
Thanks for hangin'!
Sweet hunt sir! All those karma points getting cashed in!
Only took about.... 3,456,743 pieces of foil... LOL! It was worth it!
Mine was supposed to be delivered today, but FedEx couldn't get it together 😡
How do you find the cash value of the items you dig up?
It depends but the simplest way is if it's precious getting the scrap price of gold or silver that day and then weigh whatever you have. But that really only gives you a scrap value, some things can be worth a lot more than the metal price!
@@TreasureOutdoors Ok that makes sense. Thanks!
I swing a 600. Would love to see a side by side. Thanks!
might just put a plastic bag on top of my Vanguish 440 when I'll go in the wather :)
Just careful not to drop that baby in the water! (:
would this be a good detector for a beginner? money isnt an option. I just want to buy one that will last a long time and from a company that has top notch customer service! any input is appreciated
Hey I am deaf, is this metal detector very useful for me with vibration feature?
I think it would work pretty well, if you end up picking one up hope you have fun out there! :)
@@TreasureOutdoors Thanks!
so the gold chain shows up as a 7 on the meter? Ouch! I have that notched out on my Garrett At pro. I guess I should just dig everything from now on...
Just found the sister pendant to yours today at SW. Strange coincidence.
Can you recommend a good detector for someone new to the hobby
That was awesome!! Great finds🙌
I’ve just bought the x-terra elite myself, my first metal detector. Could I ask you for a little advice please? ..I’ve only been out in the field opposite my house in the countryside UK and it’s constantly beeping with numbers bouncing all over the place. I think I might have the sensitivity up too high? How do I turn it down?!🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I’ve been watching videos online and you sound very knowledgeable so I’m hoping you don’t mind but would understand if you have more important things to do!
Any help would be very much appreciated👍
dam finally a awesome day. so happy for u man. always pull tabs and coins but lot of jewery on this hunt. niceeeee
Thanks dude!
Seems to be way more stable on vdi compared to xtp
Congrats on the awesome day.✌❤
Heard Garrett is coming out with a new machine in a few days. I think it's called the Storm. but I don't know anything else about it.
I'm afraid of seeing the price, might be far out of my range... but it will be nice seeing another Garrett on the market, wonder how it'll compete with the rest.
@@TreasureOutdoors Time will tell.
Great job congratulations
Is it too Hot in Florida to do a " Livestream" ? Whole purpose I subscribed because I enjoy the banter, if you're not going to do anymore Livestreams I may opt out, sorry. Let us know? Thanks OttawaMarc 🇨🇦🇨🇦
You had an awesome day my friend
Great job
What is the expensive thing you ever find
Would you recommend this for a beginner? I'm wanting to get into this.
Is it worth spending the extra money in comparison to the Xtp?
Lets do a bottle cap test, 3 clips later finds a bottle cap😂 i have the same machine, but i find that target id cant be reliable indicator, and also the tones are 50 50, so you must dig everything 🤣🤞🏻
Hi I'm just wondering what is your opinion on the quest x5 thinking of getting it thanks
Pretty sure I saw a video that it was waterproof even with that rear headphone jack cap off.
Where I came from, work tools is different from appliances, where it's okey to sell the latter if you're broke. To me, Tools is a buddy. It is one of the reason I got foods in my table. It has sentimental value. It's sacred. When I hear someone selling his old companion for a brand-new one is very heartbreaking. That's the generations of today folks. No wonder husband's and wives nowadays ont last long. The old values s gone. 😊
And the Oscar goes to...not this guy. 😆
