#1 mistake of most newbies: leaving open holes or not properly filling holes so that it looks like you were never there. Ruins the opinion others have of detectorists and makes permissions even more difficult to obtain.

thanks for the great advice, i've been detecting for a year now, using only a garret 150, ( yep second hand for a cheap price) i wanted to make sure i was totally committed before buying a decent machine, even with the lower range model i have found some amazing objects of interest and a ton of coins, yes i pretty much have to dig nearly every beep but at least it keeps me fit. i personally prefer to be alone, and the thought of joining a group doesn't appeal to me, i have interacted with a few detectors in person and found them quite dismissive/snobby when they find out what machine i use, but then you get people like that in all walks of life. keep up the great work mate.

Love your channel! Great content and quite entertaining - nice way for me to keep in touch with the hobby when it’s too cold to go out detecting in South Dakota! I did want to say that we bought our second at max off of eBay and not only was it a great deal but Garrett supported us with the warranty 100% even though we did not buy from a dealer. Garrett has the best service department ever, hands down, and I love the fact that they are built in the USA!

So what did you find when you cleaned those two "coins"? I feel you should have made the video a minute longer showing whatever came out of your tumbler. New subject: I started with a Garrett ACE250 which cost me $347 at the time, and found nearly $5,000 in the first 3 years (coins and gold/silver rings). I have much patience when it comes to metal detecting and I don't want/need to know if the coin is copper or silver or whatever. I'll dig it anyway, so I don't really need an expensive machine with numbers all over the face of it.

I Googled "how to" & seen the method (s&v) repeated 10 times, did it & ended up with a piece of acid eaten copper... I'm not sure of the best method to clean coppers, but I know the worst...

I agree with both...the cup is just at half!!!!!😜 I bought what I "thought" was an inexpensive mid-grade machine, which was actually a no name low end machine (150.00us).. was frustrated. It had an LED screen, 4 disc., several tones etc.. but would show 25 to 90 on the same target & not good depth... I returned it immediately!!! I bought another, AFTER RESEARCHING KZfaq VIDEOS, & spent $200.00. I bought a Quest x10.. it made all the difference....I would have quit if I stuck with the first. So I'd say, don't buy "cheap" & dont go over your head to be discouraged by finding 0.32 & lots of pull tabs, on your first 3 trips out, & then selling your machine.

You don't need to apply for or download anything, but there is a list of conditions. Including an expectation that you will sell any valuable finds and give 50% to the Crown (after deducting expenses).

I kept getting an iron grunt (remember, I have dig or don't dig), but I noticed when I swung the coil to the side, I got my better, but almost not there, higher tone. I walked away and it kept bugging me. I ended up going back to that sound and it was a 1964 Silver dime. It has done it before with old Wheat Pennies as well. And we all know, you can get an amazing tone on ANY machine, thinking you are pulling out a coin.....all to find out this is where the beer buddies hung out and it's full of pull tabs! HA!!!

So I don't forget. #coinhatgiveaway and #coinringgiveaway. And now for the important part. Great information! Much needed even on this side of the pond. I started out with a cheap RadioShack detector that cost $200.00plus back in 2000. But I needed exercise and had seen a TV show about metal detecting. They still do videos to this day, King George and RIngy. But I was bitten. I did a little hunt in my yard. Got busy, got sick and gave it up. Restarted after seeing another video. Now I know better, have a better machine, but I still use my old Discovery 3300 and know the tones and do very well. I do it for exercise and the thrill of the hunt. Being disabled, it is my way of moving and bending and walking. When someone asks me what I found, I say EXERCISE. Joined a club but they only wanted to dig relics of the civil war, would not mentor newbies and were cold to women unless they shared knowledge about a mysterious find no one could figure out. So we ( my husband is my hunting partner) left. And now we speak to whoever asks us about detecting and I spend a lot of time on research and gaining knowledge about various finds. Thanks to folks like you, I'm a better detector! So in your cake hole.

Just started metal detecting two weeks ago and have xterra 505, and this week found a florin 1933 on a new virgin field in West Sussex with a detecting club? What you are not mentioning is anything about , threshold, noise cancel, volume, tones, ground balance , or sensitivity ? They are all very important as you could have a £300 machine and a £1,000 machine and the £300 machine could do just as well depending on the person who is using it ! Its very confusing when you start reading all the instructions about all the different settings etc, but that is one of the main things in detecting as if you get all those things correct then you have more chance of finding something interesting !! Also why are you moving the detector so fast ? Slow and low is what I've been told by a guy who has been detecting for 40 years!!

Very good advice, I am struggling with permissions right now...LOL But the permissions I do have I spend many hours a day, when out, learning my machine. I recently purchased an AT Pro and it is definitely different than my first machine. For about 4 weeks I have been exploring the machines abilities and learning its tones. It certainly is a huge learning curve, because the machine responds differently. I will be learning the machines nuances for many more months for sure. Thanks for the very sound advice my friend and thanks for sharing your videos! Take care and happy hunting, Stephen!!!! :) #coinhatgiveaway

Hi stee you ok, I'm looking at a good program for pasture good depth. I used deep and put reactivity to zero and used 8khz and on to full tones. I found a target witch was a old penny the xy screen gave a ok line. I switched to standard hot and it sounded better. I have got use to the hot program so I'm finding it hard to go over to deep. Can I change settings to go deeper on hot program. Am I weight to think that theres no one on this planet that can give a definitive answere to metal detecting settings. I'm beginning to think it's just made up to how you feel happy with ha ha. I like hot but I dont find anythin bellow 4 inches. Unless the fields I've been on haven anythin on them bellow 4 inches.

KEEP that question for my next stream matey BUT the HOT program is not the best in my experience. Try the ULTIMATE and put it on full tones
