    That 3rd swing I call the Zorro swing in a pattern of a Z fast walking. Low & slow name of the game. Good lessons John & you're spot on. Be patient & you will love the hobby.

    Brand spanking newbie here. Can't wait to get out there today to try these tips. I think my trash to treasure ratio is about to greatly improve. That tip about raising the coil slowly above the target is pure gold. You're a natural born teacher. Would love another tips video.Thank you so much!

    I've been hunting for 18 years. A big mistake I see people make is they go to a field and they jump around too much. They'll detect an area dig a can then move to another area dig a can. Do this 5 or 6 times and call it quits. My advice is to go to a spot people may not have detected before like the edges of a park or between bushes and just stay in that small area. Digging targets for 2 hours or more, you're more likely to find something rather than jumping around a field for 30 minutes and leaving. Happy Hunting!!

    • @digthatbeep

      Very true, it's so important to grid and cover tight areas in large spots to really know what's there. Thanks for watching!

    Nice video👍🤓. My #1 tip is that yr finds are going to be only as good as yr location.
    And every state has different locations, different finds👍.

  • @alfowler4580
    @alfowler4580 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great tips… the best tip for me is your method of size detection…..I started 5 yrs ago but had no one show me any of these tips…I learned about the swing and rate by watching TH-cam VIDEOS….thanks for your tips…..

    • @digthatbeep
      @digthatbeep  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Yes, that one thing alone has save us so much frustration so I hope you find it useful too!

  • @billcrow5403
    @billcrow5403 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Awesome video John! I see a few people not overlapping their swing, and sometimes 3’ between swings, are surely missing targets. Overlapping is one thing that I try to concentrate on.
    Lots of good points!!

  • @rodbarker9831
    @rodbarker9831 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    John, I loved this video. You need to do a video on getting permissions. The verbage etc. I have an Equinox also. Would you mind sharing the settings that you, Mike and Gary use all of the time? Keep the video’s coming.

    Man I’m glad I found some cool stuff at the very beginning of my career as a detector because I’ve been on a serious dry spell for about a month. Just spent three days at the ocean and only found a kids bracelet, some modern clad and part of a broken silver ring. I know it’s out there. In my first week I found an 1897 barber out at a very well hunted river crossing. Wish me luck to break my current spell. 😂cheers.

    Watching from Derbyshire, England. Great tips, there's a lot to be said about swing technique!! I made a similar video recently which was a Beginners Guide to metal detecting. Due to the sheer volume of people getting into this hobby, that video has now become my most watched ever video. I would recommend making one if you haven't already. people love tutorial videos

    Outstanding! Super information for the newbies and us old folks that have not swung a detector in decades. (I used to use a BFO and a VLF-TR until school, and family got in the way). Thanks fella!

    I can only “ second that emotion” for each point you made, John, and especially because I’ve learned these same things over my four and a half year detecting experience ( and Dig That Beep was hugely responsible for my current addiction). Can you give us a settings rundown for those of us using the Nox’s?

    And that's how it's done ladies and gentlemen. I've been metal detecting for 10 years myself and see guys that have been doing it longer still swinging the wrong way and you just can't mention it without them getting offended lol😂. Take notes rookies and some of you veterans.

  • @fig1954
    @fig1954 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey John and viewers. Great tips and true advise. One of the most enjoyable and rewarding hobbies there is. I've never stopped dirt fishing since I got the bug back in 1973 and have hunted, land and sea, all over the world and every environment except rocky gold prospecting. (too old for that) If I may offer additional info to the swing for large open areas. Your swinging arm can extend the detector sweeping range if you swing wide. Horizontally. Try not to stop 2' or so from your hips. I use a "windshield wiper" type move in an overlapping arc pattern. You should be able to double and maybe triple the ground coverage, versus just the ground a foot or two in front of you. I do also alternate to a horizontal wide swing. You will get used to it and also try to alternate swinging with both arms.
    There's lots to learn about soil conditions, terrain (reading the ground area), types of hunting (coins, relics, jewelry), machine settings and different machines and equipment. But if your starting out in first grade, don't sweat the college entrance exam. "The more you learn, the more you'll earn and the more you earn, the more you'll learn." After 50 years of diggin, I'll admit I haven't had to learn much more other than how to use a new machine. So newbies, learn the basics, practice, watch DTB and others BUT don't drop out! There is a learning curve and soon you'll be graduating!
    Sorry John if I hijacked your comments. Gotta hook up some day. God Bless man.

  • @tommychew6544
    @tommychew6544 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good video, I see a lot of videos where the first thing I think is why are they swinging like that? Super fast while walking too fast even, missing even more ground or sand. I agree with what said about trying to tell them anything, they act like its sacrilege, and it's something I have learned to never do with people, some just won't change know matter what they might be missing.

    • @digthatbeep

    Great advice, John. All these points are valid, no tonly in removing the easy and more consistent sounding targets, but getting the deeper, older stuff, too. Lifting the coil off the target to “size” is a great tip, too. 😎

    @keithmuncher9399 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks John. I have been detecting for about 3+ years and this helps me out. I try different routines to see what works best for me. I want to know how you find out how deep a target is unless you dig it. My Simplex has the depth guide but usually is wrong.

    Great video John - I have made great finds using a Garrett Ace 400 (admittedly not a state-of-the-art detector), using exactly the techniques you demonstrated in the video. My belief is that ANY metal detector will find good non-ferrous targets less than 8 inches IF you swing correctly and are patient. Keep up the great work!

    Appreciate the video! You said you gave up digging that target after about 13 inches, is that a good rule for areas with potential underground pipes or was it just not worth going further? I'll be getting started after Christmas and just trying to soak in as much as possible before I get my hands on the gear.

    Excellent instruction! Please turn the volume down on your detector. I watch a lot of MT videos and many know that tone will wake the wife if she if napping while I'm watching. So, I turn the volume down but then, I can't hear what you're saying.
