Jewelry is usually trapped in the guts between the sand bars. All the lighter trash is swept away by the waves and currents. Seldom can you find lost items on the sand bars themselves, but they are usually recent drops.
I don’t metal detectors (yet), but I love watching the videos, especially beach videos, and one of the things I appreciate is that at least the channels I watch pick up the pull tabs, pieces of stray metal, etc. I like the that y’all don’t just toss the stuff back onto the beach (yes, on the practical side, you don’t want to find it again, but still). I think of it as kind of the price of admission. And thank you to those that fill in their holes. As a person living near turtle nesting beaches, this is a kindness. Or, as a non-detector I ask, is picking up the trash and filling holes just commonly accepted protocol?
I think it would take the fun out of the surprise of what your digging. It is at the point that with VDi alone you get a very good idea on it before you dig and the Tones too. I started out with the Bounty Hunter Tracker 4 and I learned how the very little tones it had that I am digging a good target or not. Now with the 600 700 and Vanquish the Tone and Vdi really helps a lot more.. Happy Hunting.. Peace
I would just like to be able to identify aluminum accurately. That one feature would avoid a lot of digging. AI might be able to do this. We can dream.
first I would have asked it where are the best spots on the Gulf for Jewelry and historical detecting, and NO! I would not like it telling me as I detect.
thanks for your input, much appreciated. I am not sure if I would like it telling me either. It is coming though. Soon the control box for these machines will be no different than an Iphone or Android with the same processing power.
Be carefull with ai, it hallucinates if you talk to it long enough, once it told me "double fisting" is a expert metal detecting skill where you use a detector in each hand, so i asked it about quadruple fisting and it said many people dont do that because its too difficult but will get you better finds, although with quadruple fisting it at least warned me to watch out fir emi 😅😂
I have assimilated with the borg 🤖🤖🤖

Brilliant and very clever Jon!
Thank you Howie!

Hi Robin! Yes its common practice to pick up the trash we find and fill our holes. I can't say that all detectorists do it, but the majority of us do.

Hey Danny, lots of people agree with you . Thanks for hanging out. 🤘🏻
Lol! That was great! Love your channel bro. 😎👍🏼
Thanks Craig!! Man, that means a lot. 🤘🏻
I need a Metal Detecting robot dog to find and dig up treasure while I relax on the beach 😂
Let me know when you find that, ill take 2 🤣🤣🤣 😂
I agree that it takes away from the thrill of the hunt maybe tighter signals on precious metals.
Glad i am not the only one 🤔
Excellent video Jon. I’m not sure I would want to know what’s there it’s half the fun not knowing what you’re detecting. 😊🇬🇧
I feel ya for sure 🤘🏻
very cool and interesting thanks for sharing
Thanks william!

Wouldnt it!
Can you tell me what AI you used here?

Cool.
You won't know what it is until you dig it.
Not entirely true with machine learning AI. But i get your point
Well that solves it, AI has a minelab processor
lol. If anyone is going to input Ai machine learning into a MD its going to be Minelab.
