- Treasure Hunting at Santa Monica Beach with the Minelab Vanquish 540 which is a great beginner detector. Tested out the Xtreme Sand Scoop. Found silver & tried to save a seagull.
First time detecting at this location. Had a decent hunt. Found silver and a cell phone.
The Xtreme Scoop had some good points...
It is lighter
The scoop is bigger and catches more sand
There are smaller holes in the center which traps more small items.
It has a side handle
Issues with the scoop:
The handle is thicker and does take some time to adjust
The side handle is slick plastic. Was strong enough but limited grip
Since the scoop is bigger it is heavy when removing wet sand
Also, the carbon fiber handle does flex with heavy loads. Hoping that does not become an issue.
Finally, Came across an injured gull. Removed it from the water and tried to get it help. Unfortunately it succumbed to its injuries and was taken away by animal control. Sad!

This was a fun hunt. I am trying out the Xtreme Scoop and I tried to save an injured Seagull. Thanks for watching!

@@TreasureHuntingDetectiors I can do that....I will share your vids....
@@TreasureHuntingDetectiors Understand...Keep at your playing....you do a great job....Watch some videos on how to build your site. There are things you can do to get more exposure....
Title, first paragraph and tags are important.
Love the new sand scoop Bill. Having that handle on their really helps a lot especially when you're shaking the scoop. I noticed a lot of the other guys are using that style now.
Good for you, helping the bird. I recently cut a hunt short to rush a big sea bird to the wild animal hospital. I wish someone would have taken a picture...bird under one arm with his wings hanging past my knees, and all of my metal detecting stuff in the arm with the cast. And a 15-minute walk to the car. sheesh.
vanquish looks like a fun detector to use at the beach!!!
So far so good....I really like the 540...thanks
that is a big ol scoop
Is bigger really better?
Nice hunt SoCal! Nice scoop too! Cheers be well!
Thanks....
Looks like if you were to rig an elbow support on that scoop it would help. Awesome video. I’m waiting on my 540 😁
Very cool, you will love the 540... I know, I always take off the straps... I don't like using them even thought they would help....
Great hunt!!! Everyone loves the Vanquish for the beach!!!!
Thanks...I am really enjoying it...cheers
Interesting finds out there. The beach looked so nice, glad to see yous are cleaning up while finding treasures :) Hope the poor seagull will be ok. I have a big heart for injured animals, thanks for taking care of him :)
Thank you...SoCal beaches are amazing year round. I have a thing..."ABC". Always B Cleaning. Cheers
Nice brother
Thanks
cool hunt. I am still getting used to my 540
Good to hear....Good Luck & Happy Hunting...Thanks
dig the low numbers especially if they have a mid tone.. I got a 18ct white gold ring on 13/14 mid tone ive also got a 18ct gold ring with VDI 8 mid tone so usually dig the low numbers in case its gold jewellery
Sounds good...will keep that in mind...Thanks for the info/response...much appreciated.
Run it in jewellery mode.. all metal low iron bias
@@bearsmudlarkingandmetaldet8461 Thanks....I appreciate the advice
Excellent hunt my friends. Like that scoop and the video 👍👍👍

Nice hunt and I really like that new scoop! Congrats on the silver! Great job! Take care!
Thanks....was a fun day and the scoop works well....picks up so much more sand than I am use to...
Awsome video brotha hh

That was a great hunt. I enjoy watching all you hunts looking for places I want to go back too
Nice scoop - looked like a fun time!
Thank you music man
Wow killer scoop, love it
Thanks
Harika videolar. Başarılar diliyorum.👍👍👍
Thank you very much!!!
Congrats on the silver. Nice hunt. Sad about the seagull but you tried
Thanks....Yeah, I love my animals...poor guy
Give her a cup cake.
That scoop is huge, it looks like a backhoe bucket!
For sure...it is heavy when filled with wet sand...good workout
The cut where Gary the Seagull was laid to rest would be a good place to hunt. That was a lot of targets.
Yeah, I found some good targets at the cut including the phone...will be going back to this beach...cheers
Parabéns pela caçada parceiro like tmj 🤝🤝👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thank you very much
😢😭RIP Gary the Seagull.
Dig it up!
always...
Man I love the 540 it is a killer coin shooter detector ..8 inch coil on grass you not going to miss much.. I do like the 12 inch on the beach.. what a great hunt and poor seagull
Hi Dan, I want to do the wicked low tide tomorrow evening.
@@therrienmichael08 Sweet I hope you score well
Thanks...Yeah I walked away and when I came back I felt horrible...poor guy expired and Christine was crying....very sad
Extreme scoop is awesome. I dont have the carbon fiber handle, but that scoop in Florida sand is fast and easy.
Good to hear. I am getting better at using it. I really like the size of the scoop compared to my Royal Manufacturing scoop. Cheers.
You're new scoop is really good not only is it making lighter work of the trash, .. but it also captures the tiny stuff which is fantastic as not all diamonds are rock's lol, well done on saving the injured seagull, we are not allowed to interact with them in the UK as they have become very aggressive at the beaches,..and you cannot enjoy a picnic, as they attack you for your food,... and not just in the sea side town's, there more common than city pigeons,... and did you ever trace the owner of the phone? 👍👍🌞
It is not a good idea to interact with wildlife. My logo was created in his honor. As far as the phone, it was totally destroyed and unable to fire up. I contacted the company and they did not offer any help. Oh well, off to the landfill...
I live in Oz and I generally use custom saved from coin mode and discriminate out anything below 26 in trashy areas. In cleaner areas I use the default coin mode
Thanks for the info Wayne...much appreciated
Sometimes, people put their ID and card inside the case/cover of the phone. Good hunt! :)
Money too
I checked...nothing in the cover...Thanks and I am going to try and contact a google phone sales business to see about tracking down owner or turning it in
Kick the 1 - 2's with a foot sweep, it will expose the foil or the chain. No need to scoop unless really deep. Nice Scoop!
Sounds good....thanks
Sure that was a 15-16 for the dime? Maybe I'm haven a brain cramp but don't recall any 15-16 dimes up here in Mi, I dig almost everything on our beaches, not many targets, but you can be sure mostly trash, jewelry a rare find, maybe a few Penny's, haven't hunted beaches much, but starting to think Michiganders hang on to their stuff pretty tight, got a love them tent stakes
I was getting a 15-16 when i found dimes...I thought they were higher too...but I usually hit the beach with equinox...will test it out tomorrow with coins and see what reading I get....
@@DigginSoCal I usually get a 24 there abouts but that's Mi numbers, you left coasters use that new math so your numbers may vary 😁
@@GSskiracer Interesting....lol re left coasters....
1 and 2 always foil so far
DSC, I do like your new scoop, and the fiber carbon fiber handle, I notice that you were not using the grip very much, is the handle removable?
The handle is removable....I am trying to get use to it.....it is plastic and slick. I am going o wrap it in tape to see if the grip is better...I will get better with it
Is that olive oil from Popeye talking?
Yes...you recognized the voice...lol
Can you tell me the model number on that extreme scoop? And the handle came with it? Thanks
Bill, hope you’re doing well. I just released a new video and gave you a shoutout bud👍 Hope you enjoy 🤜🤛
Eric~The Quest 4 Gold

Well I done my season 16 audition on agt bro so now I just wait for a answer
Cool....GL
I know that my videos anit the best but I dont have any mics or maps or set up to do anything to make sound better I'm kinda of a poor man lol there's not much here where I live in stigler ok, me and my wife barely make it here and having kids she loves me and she really wants to see me make that dream come true one day, I love to sing but all I got is a old cheap guitar that was gave to me lol not the best but it plays
Where can I order that scope? Thanks
How much??$$
Not sure what you are inquiring about? Can you be a tad bit more descriptive...lol
