PART 1 of the Ultimate Guide on how to Metal Detect... Permissions and Land!!!
You can't start metal detecting without having somewhere to go and in this video I will show you how to overcome both these obstacles!
And please stay tuned for part two which I will bring out in a couple of days time hopefully then will start talking properly about metal detectors and other equipment.
Anyway I hope you enjoy it and that it proves useful in some way...
MY EQUIPMENT:
⭐️The XP Deus I (Lite) which I use, is now at the incredible price of only £449 (Regtons are selling via Amazon) Please use this link as then I get looked after too! Thank you!

I haven’t given too many XP Deus tips or tips for metal detecting for beginners in this video but please feel free to leave a comment if you need to pick my brain over anything, especially if you are learning to use the XP Deus Lite.
And Please SUBSCRIBE!!! if you haven’t already - its really good fun making these short videos but they do take a bit of time and its really good to know they are being enjoyed!
And for all your Metal Detecting needs... advice, ID, stories (and camaraderie!!!) please go to www.thedetectinghub.co.uk - you will find them very helpful.

Great video as always 👍🏻. Myself and a friend of mine who I detect with have a few permissions. A couple came from knowing the land owner previously. One from a 'friend of a friend' putting in a good word. And some of our best came from sending an email to the land owner. I searched for local farms and farm shops on google to see if any had a website, and from those, I looked for the 'contact us' section and sent an email. The best and most fruitful permission we have (400 acres) was gained from an email. We have been on there for over a year now and have had all sorts of lovely finds. I have also done the face to face approach but never had any luck with it unfortunately. I suppose it's horses for course on both sides.....the person seeking permission needs an approach that the land owner will be conducive too. My advice for those still seeking their first permission, would be to keep trying and those two things will eventually marry up 👍🏻

One good way to get permission: Go talk to the farmer when he is on the field, ask him if he has lost some tractor parts, tell him you can help and you helped other farmers, mention names of nearby farmers you got permission, and for sure it is the best if you live in the same area to get confidence growing

I saw a KZfaq video a year or so ago about metal detecting the trails that waggon trains took heading West, and how you can, in places, still see the giant cartwheel ruts and the line of the old trail. Some of those giant wheels were taller than a man, sometimes drawn by cattle, and bits of wheel hardware and waggon ironmongery would fall to the ground. I know it might not be remarkable to you but people find all sorts from that era, especially bullets, cutlery from the camp kitchens, hose shoes and other metal goods. From my perspective here in southern England it sounds like a fabulously exciting experience. I'm sure the occasional coin surfaces, as well as the odd gun and sheath knife. I have no idea how you'd find the original trails, though there must be extensive records, but as that was such a massively pivotal time not just for America but for the whole world, the sense of history in any finds has to be wonderfully exciting.

@robertwhittingham2855 Жыл бұрын

Excellent video, Alexander. You explained it perfectly. Permissions are the hardest things to obtain, with the hobby being so popular. If you are lucky to get a permission, make sure you talk to and show your finds to the landowner. My landowner has a display cabinet for some of my interesting finds. I don't mind this as it shows my honesty and in turn I am the only one allowed to defect on the property and no groups allowed. Looking forward to the next video on equipment.

Also look for pay and play groups (you can find these on social media platforms) as they are open to all (with the necessary insurance).

I have detected a lot of beaches and found quite a few Roman coins. I was detecting beaches from 1969 and through the 1970s. I built my own beach machines for that purpose. I am doing beaches again now and have found Saxon and possibly other interesting periods. The modern Simultaneous Multi-Frequency machines work best on beaches. Beach detecting is a black art and takes a while to master it is not just a case of turning up and swinging all over the beach . It pays to understand the weather and tides and know how to read the beach and be expert at knowing your detector. 👍🏻

I know I'm a bit late to this video, but hopefully my questions are still valid. I can't seem to see here, or anywhere for that matter, answers to the questions that have me wracking my brain about permissions. 1. What's in it for the landowner??? If I was big landowner, I'd probably chase everyone!! ...are unofficial deals struck? (I probably shouldn't be asking that here!) ..my brothers old father in law used to leave a bottle of malt on the step of the Lairds house in Scotland whenever he wanted to go fishing on his land!! That sort of thing. 2. When is the best time to ask for permission? Obviously if its farm land it will be seasonal, so there must be a couple of good times in the year, maybe? 3. Is it best to get a permission in writing? 4. When speaking or corresponding with a landowner, is it recommended to lay out all the official rules regarding finds / treasure, in advance, or will that just phase them? Just keep it simple? 5. Do I need to tell the landowner about myself? I.e. submit a kind of unofficial CV, with interests, previous permissions & detecting experience and finds etc. If anyone can help, thanks in advance 👍

When I say a certain look it’s dips, flats, small inclines or unusual looking pasture. The dips can be Roman roads, the flats and small inclines can be potential old carriageways and unusual pasture can be evidence of old structures.

Thank you for making this video! I live in Birmingham, UK and i am from a British Asian background and i am very interested in getting involved with this hobby.

There may be a particular piece of land that i may want to metal detect on but i have no idea how to find out who the landowner is. I plan on metal detecting this year and i think the best way to start for a beginner like me would be to join a metal detecting club and take part in these metal detecting rallies.

Please could you tell me what was the speaker you were using on the xp deus 1 on one of your KZfaq videos, I’m a fan of your KZfaq ,:I’ve been detecting for 47 years . Looking forward to your next video .

Trevor I can't remember what it is there is no name on it... i bought it off amazon and just plug leads to connect it to the puck - it wouldn't be much good for everyday use I wouldn't have thought i only use it so you can hear it too! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander

Great video especially for me as a beginner. One thing I’m struggling with though is the detecting hub finds link. I’ve registered but how difficult is it to post anything I’ve found. Read the FAQ’s but still scratching my head. Not the easiest or user friendly site I’m sure I must me missing a trick. Any help much appreciated. Ps hope you back on the fields soon. Best detecting videos I’ve seen brilliant 👌🏻

Thanks Julian! You are missing a trick... its fairly easy! Just go "scroll" down to "identification" click that... then click new post and start from there - to add photos you can either use the prompts or "drag" a photo in to the text box - as long as the file is not too big... hope that helps! All the Best, Alexander

Hi Alex great channel and great advice what is the exact make and model of your machine and is it a great all rounder having no screen to look at i.e. both field and beach i currently have a Garrett ace 150 and just rely on the tones as that's pretty much all i can do I'm wondering whether i will get better results with a machine like yours and I'm here in the UK on the south coast

@HolzHammerSagas Жыл бұрын

Hi Moto south, hope all well! It definitely sounds like you need an upgrade I went from the Garrett Ace 250 to my present machine which is the XP Deus Lite -no remote - all the information is audio and it's not great for the beach either but if you read the manual carefully and watch the videos on KZfaq about the Deus Lite you'll soon get the hang of it and it's a bloody brilliant machine cost me £1300 quid back in the day you can pick one up for £450 now!!!! See my link to it in this video... There is absolutely no doubt that you will get better results once you get the hang of it but as I said I don't think it's ideal for beach work but bullet for everything else! All the Best, Alexander

@@HolzHammerSagas thanks Alex I wonder if the deus lite 2 is the one to go for as I think it has a beach mode my problem is I only have the 1 permission and I’m always digging rubbish with my machine so if I want a change it will be the beach for me which I haven’t been able to do so far as the Garrett ace 150 doesn’t do beach I hope you are well on the road to recovery as I do miss your out in the field videos but I’m currently making my way through your older videos and also your other channels we are spoilt for choice.regards Jon

I'm sorry I think you are wrong, I think you need to think of what type of detecting, then purchase an appropriate machine as this then gives you the incentive to get permission or go beaching. Now I live in a seaside town and not knowing what I was doing I started on the beach only to find out that my detector wasn't quite up to beaching and one morning I had an epiphany I work at a hotel and that was my first permission

It sounds pretty hard to get in touch with the owners. There are loads of country pubs where a few of the farmers might frequent and you could talk to them right there on the subject, but as they are mostly the older guys you might talk to the farm workers, foramen/charge hands who go in for lunch or of an evening. they get up very early in the morning for work and work until dark during planting and harvesting times, so they might get a bit grumpy! Id like to see a vid of you making a permissions deal over the phone or through email or speak to the local council

Thanks Peter for that and good point - farmers can be a bit grumpy at all times not just harvest I should know my father was a grumpy farmer!!! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander

@@HolzHammerSagas All's well thank you Alex, Its good to see you are still getting out and about and posting your ventures and i'm happy to subscribe and get loads of tips now I have enough gear to get started I got some leaflets with my new Garrett carrot pro pointer which I invested in recently and can recommend it as one of the best for the price! it says I should sign up for the National council for metal detecting but Im not sure if its absolutely necessary as I'm not a member of any club! I live up in a 12th floor flat overlooking all those fields on the edge of town so I'm anxious to get out there maybe ill try the river bank!

Hello my friends have been tenant farmers on the same land for over 50 years do i need permition from them and the estate owners ?

@HolzHammerSagas 6 ай бұрын

Hi Wobbly, I think technically both should be aware but i think as long standing tenants who obviuosly have a very good relationship with the Estate, unless the Estate have expressly not allowed the tenants to allow metal detecting then I'd just go for it! Good luck!
