Thanks for the info!

@@DangarMarine My pleasure Stu! Thank YOU for all you do!

He's a diligent man. :)

Thanks mate! :)

It was great to spend the day with him. All that information will really help when we jump in the water.

You’re welcome Mike. Happy detecting! 🙂

Definitely a lot of fun and great to be outdoors.

Glad to hear you found it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate, I’m looking forward to our first underwater search too.

Thanks mate!

Thanks Paul. 🙂

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it. I'm really looking forward to taking it underwater now I've got my head around it.

Thanks mate, I’m looking forward to getting underwater with it too!

For sure, Nick has been doing this for decades and says he is still learning.

@@DangarMarine so good! Happy hunting

Thanks mate. Right thumb still isn't great but it doesn't stop me doing much fortunately.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, I think she decided that the day was official over. ;)

Thanks Joe. Once I’m more familiar with the stock detector it will be interesting to look into the available upgrades.

@@DangarMarine You have a leg up with a mate that already has substantial underwater detector experience "and" experience with the same detector, with a premium quality Minelab detector to start with. Good friends, good beer, good boat, good detector... It can't get much better than that... Oh I forgot the most important, good wife... almost got you in trouble... Take care... Joe

What I don't get is the unlike ... I mean, seriously ... just don't watch it ... what kind of nob cheese eating gobermouch do you have to be to dislike these videos?

Precedes?

art mallory - Oops spelling corrected 😄

You mean you DON'T click like before hitting Play??? What manner of hooligan are you sir?

@@barrylinkiewich9688 yeah , on my regulars I do also just hit like before play. Stu rocks, instant like.

It definitely is harder than I expected, particular out in the real world. The modern detectors do make it easier though which is great.

There are definitely huge challenges to detecting underwater in low vis with a current flowling. Sounds like you are onto a great mission there. Good luck with finding the canons!

@@DangarMarine Found em, estimated 14th-16th century Portugese ;)

I'm really addicted to it now. It's a great excuse to get out there in the sun and search around. Even if nothing valuable is getting found, there is always something just below the surface to give the little rush of expectation. :)

You got that right!

You and me both!

Thanks, you too!

Thanks mate. It seemed rude not use the gate given someone went to the effort to install it. ;)

Go for it, it’s lots of fun and quite addictive. :)

@@DangarMarine Might hunt some of my own "Roaming" coins... :D

It is very addictive! I've been about 3-4 times since and always have a nice day outside searching around.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Ron!

Thanks mate!

Would be quite the adventure!

It is. I found it interesting that some signs said "Blackhead" and some "Black Head" A mystery!

Thanks mate, glad you found the vid useful. Enjoy your new Excalibur! :)

Thanks John, glad you enjoyed. Can't wait to see what we find!

Yes, that is the pin pointer that Nick was referring to. Very handy for digging a target once you have found the rough location with the main detector.

It would be great to do more videos with Nick, he's a great guy who I've know for almost 20 years now. It's a good idea to so a short section each week on the detecting adventures around the river.

ARRR ! What`s a pirates favourite letter in the alphabet ? No not an RRRRR , it be CCCc , without it he`s got nothing to float his boat on .

George Harrison (the Beatle) on rutland weekend television says the same thing !! kzfaq.info?search_query=George+Harrison+on+rutland+weekend++television

I should make all the dials on Renko go to 11. ;)

For sure, plenty of caps and ring pulls around.

It’s mostly about it’s ability to be very sensitive to any metal below the coil without giving confused false signals. Another big part of it is the detectors ability to determine the type of metal and filter accordingly.

A perfect use for it. Thumb is slowly getting better. About 80% now.

For sure, they are challenging environments to search in.

Double disk.

Thanks mate, it's a Go Pro 8.

Only to make people laugh. :)

Good question, I'm not really sure yet. I think on land you can get up to about 12" or more, but I do believe salt water and currents will reduce that somewhat.

LOL

For sure, have a couple of pinpointers in order that will hopefully get here soon.

No, just a little dam. :)

For sure, would hate to miss the big one!

Everybody needs a hobby.

For sure, there is an element of never knowing that plays on your mind.

Most of time time I imagine you would set for the conditions and not touch again.

@@DangarMarine Not really, you need to make minor adjustments quite often. I typically search with no or very little discrimination/elimination. When I get a tone I start increasing elimination up to the point where my pinpoint area gets so small that it only triggers when the coil is above it. (Remember I have a Pulse detector, so my pinpoint signal is still there even when I do not move the coil.) You often will adjust also when you dig and get closer/louder to the target - And you will play around with the Threshold (Sensitivity) I like a very faint tone on the background so I can hear small variations caused by deep objects. So, I am not constantly adjusting but still adjust regularly for various reasons. - If I may give you 2 small tips. I have no idea what your visibility is and (more important) what kind of soil you dig in. If it is coarse beach sand you are golden. That is easy as the water will stay reasonable clear. But if there is any silt then visibility will become zero in seconds. Not near zero, but ZERO :-)) I often detect with my eyes closed so my poor eyes do not have to focus on all those mud clouds on the other side of the glass in my mask. A helmet with 2 strong lights is a huge help. Believe me metal detecting with the detector in 1 hand and a lamp in the other does not work. Buy or make a helm with 2 lights. Often even which side of the helm you switch the lamp on can make a difference. Mine is an old plastic skateboard helmet (With the foam protection ripped out) on which I mounted 2x 12V/50W Halogen lamps connected to a 12V/20Ah Battery pack (On my tank) OK, Halogen is a bit old fashioned but the helm is already over 20 years old but it works fine. Now I would use 2 of these beautiful small powerful Riff LED lamps. Perfect for the job, I would think. *** Update* I suddenly realize you might dive in clear sunny water and do not need lights at all. Where I dive the water is pitch black and I need a light to see my computer. - These sand scoops do not work under water. You will not push the scoop in the sand but the scoop will push you in the water... so to say. Where I dive the water is about 4 - 10 *C so I have to use neoprene mittens. Reinforce the side of the mitten (pinky side) with "liquid shoe sole" stuff (Bison sells it). Then use this hand to fan the sand/silt away. Without this reinforcement your neoprene glove will not last long. Without a glove your hand will not last long... ;-) - Mind you, small coins are very easily fanned away. I have spend a lot of time looking for small coins that I accidentally fanned away... specially when you are on a slope and visibility is zero.. If your target moves larger distances while fanning it is likely a coin of some sort.... unless you find these heavy golden pieces of eight I suppose ;-)) - Well, that is all... bit more that I planned. No doubt we will see some footage of you using this detector. I am looking forward to it

I only have one knob, and although it's quite large it is quite sensetive, and seems to perform quite well.

I've used it quite a bit since I bought it, lots of fun and works really well. :)

They sell for around $1800 Australian

@@DangarMarine Thank you Stuart. Stay safe.

For sure, the rare ones have lots of value if they are in good condition.

Good man! :)

Glad to hear it's working well for you. :)

Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to putting it though its paces too!

Yes, lots of work left to do. No, no clean up yet, and it’s Renko not Renco.

Of course, seems so obvious once you said it.

Haven't looked yet. Paul and I are planning to do our first diving adventure this weekend if the wind doesn't make that impossible.

Sounds good il look forward to the next video

Start a museum. ;)
