@@DigginNorCal2770 I really like the 8 inch coil I bought for it. Makes it extremely light and helps with the jumpy VDI numbers. It's my go to setup kids playgrounds.
So awesome! Anytime you find a ring whether it’s precious metal or not there’s just something about it. New subscriber here from Colorado! Can’t get enough! Keep them coming.
@@FreedomFindersAdventures there's definitely something magical about finding a ring. I was actually able to find a ring that I lost as a teenager twenty years later. Sadly I lost it again when the Campfire burned Paradise. One of these days I'll make a video on the whole story of finding the ring.
@@addictedtometaldetecting4761 now that’s a cool story. Love it. Ducks to loose it again Did you reside there at the time? All these fires are wreaking havoc man.
Your welcome. I doubt the thing will last a long time like my Garrett did. Got a Minelab one now and just bring it for a back up unit. If you're on a budget and just starting out, it should be good enough. Sure beats spending like 140 bucks on a name brand one. The only problem I've had with it is the button is super hard to press. It is made in China so the quality probably varies between each unit.
The button is kinda hard to push but it still works pretty good. I ended up selling a gold ring and bought a waterproof Minelab one. It's way more expensive, but should last a lot longer.
It definitely looks old to me, too. The place I was hunting has been there since around 1940. I'll have to get stone checked out. The more I look at it the more it looks like a real sapphire lol.
Quite possible this stuff was from Lake County. I've never personally found any that was so water worn there, though. There is a couple pieces of mahogany obsidian in the mix. I've only found mahogany in Kellsyville... I found a random piece of rainbow obsidian in Sonoma County when I was growing up. There used to be a good deposit of green sheen obsidian in Kenwood. They put a bunch of grass and a dog park and covered it up.
@@norcaldigger348 the sandbars in the creeks in Sonoma County are good place to find arrowheads. I used to have a great collection. All that shit burned in Paradise when I moved up there. There's great agates, petrified wood, Jaspers, and all kinds of fun rocks where your at. I miss Sonoma County, until I drive down and deal with the traffic. 😂
It's pretty nice. Definitely can't beat the price. I know where find similar material, but it would 100 bucks in gas just to get there. Certainly can't complain 😂.
I was pretty surprised to find it. It's pretty rare that I even find silver around here. We've got this metal detecting/prospecting club that hit everywhere pretty hard in my area. I've still got to make it to one of their meeting and sign up. Really want to get up to one of their gold claims this summer... Good luck to you.
man Congratulations!!!!! what a chunky fat 14K... That is fruggin AWESOME dude! where was this foind? Park or open field?? and what did it ring up as" A NICKEL signal or FOIL? - Joey
I found it in a fairgrounds in California. Oddly enough it rings up a solid 65. It gave me such a blasting signal, I couldn't dig it up fast enough. People always say to always dig up zinc penny signals, because they could be gold. Well after 10+ years of detecting it finally paid off 😂. It's almost a size 14 and it's weigh is 8.2 grams. Park 1 is the setting I've been running on the Simplex lately. Thanks for watching. I'll try to get better at making these videos.
@@addictedtometaldetecting4761 You're doing great bro' Good for you man... You deserve to find that rind and In love how you take great care of your plugs... are you thinking of trading your Simplex in for the Legend?
@@VegasDtechIf I see people prospecting with it finding tiny nuggets in highly mineralized ground, I'm down. But for a park detector I don't know if want something so complex. I feel like I'd be spending more time adjusting settings than actually finding treasure. My girlfriend offered to buy me one for mh birthday, but I opted for the sp24 coil. So far just having the new coil is like having a whole new detector... If the Simplex can't handle the black sands in my creek this summer, I might sell my gold detector and get the Legend.
@@addictedtometaldetecting4761 I see.. Well The Simplex with the SP24 is a Hot detectot i sold mine to help Fund the Legend.. If you watch my video LEGEND UNBOXINGru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CDHZIB2RiLc.html you will get my initial first impression of the Legend ..So far the ONLY real difference that seperates the two are the TONES..
