Just a simple average guy who loves the hobby of metal detecting. I love to uncover history and hidden treasures in the ground. Relic hunting is my favorite activity, I love doing the research to find old homesites, detecting in fields and the woods. I do occasionally detect parks and beaches.
You changed two variables in the experiment, the metal and the rust converter. You should have done each piece of metal half and half with each of the products. That way you could get a better understanding of how each product works on different types of iron.
I just got the Garrett. I’m having a blast in my yard. I don’t have a full metal detector, but do you think I could just use the Garrett as one until I can get a full on metal detector? I’m jonsin’ to go out searching. I figure if I can zip tie a pvc pipe handle on it, it would be easier than hunching over constantly. Great channel!! Just subscribed. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Do you have the Garrett Pinpointer? If so, you can find metal but cannot differentiate between ferrous (iron) and non-ferrous (coins, foil, cans, jewelry, etc). You can try your idea, it never hurts to experiment but as soon as you can save for a detector it will be much easier once you learn that detector to differentiate between targets and be able to avoid some of the targets that aren't so good. Thanks for watching!
@@jackijax505 It depends on how much you can spend, there's a lot of options out there. If you can afford it I think the best deal right now is the Nokta Triple Score. They have a package deal available soon that gives you a multi frequency detector with room to grow as you learn (more user options). That package comes with the detector, two coils, and wireless headphones ffor $479. If not they have other options too. The Nokta Double Score is $349, and the Nokta Score is $279. They also have a Simplex Series that is single frequency that ranges from $249-349. Another option is The Nokta Find-X and Find-X Pro which they sell only through Amazon. The detectors I mentioned are all waterproof. Nokta also has a 3 year warranty for almost all of their detectors. The Find-X is 2 years I think. Save your money and stay away from the super cheap detectors. It will cost you more money in the long run. If you buy any of these and later decide the hobby is not for you then you should be able to sell any of those pretty easy. If I was just starting out I would most likely look at the Nokta Detectors. They are good.
The XTerra Pro is a good detector. I've been happy with mine. The first few months I was frustrated with it. One thing to remember with any detector is that it takes time to learn that machine. Put a lot of hours into it and understand what targets sound like and the VDIs for your soil. I started in my yard and found a lot of coins and other things as well as the trash, but digging a lot in the beginning helps you learn. When you get it get out there and have some fun!
É isso aír companheiro detectorista. Boa caçada! Que Deus abençoa sempre sua vida! Se for possível se escreva no meu canal no RU-vid: Leon detectorismo.
Tailor’s thimble - “Tailor’s thimbles have an open top for two important reason. First, they allow the tailor to sew for long periods of time without condensation forming in the tip of the finger under the thimble. Second, and most importantly, the open top gives the dexterity and tactility necessary for a tailor.”
Nice finds! Do you know if there is a way to date old pottery? I found some in a cornfield when I first got my detector. It was in with some old brick and glass and what looked like peices to a wood stove. It had black glazing on it and 3/8 " thick.
From what I’ve researched, one thing to look for is crazing. It’s a spider web look in the glaze and it can indicate that it’s a very old piece. Google search pottery crazing and you’ll find some pages to look at. Look for designs, the blue feather edge was in use in the 17 and 1800s as I understand. Also for that thick piece you are talking about look at the edge. The reddish color clay goes pretty far back. It’s hard to say with some of it exactly how old it is but look for those indicators. Another thing to do is find that cornfield on the historic aerials website and look at the overlays you have available. For where I am I can only look back to 1930 on the Topographic map and 1955 on the satellite aerial map. Depending on where you are the maps may go back further. Based on what you’ve found though I’d definitely be detecting that field during the fall after harvest if you have permission. There’s no telling what you might find. I am thrilled when I find anything that’s old even if it’s from the 30s or 40s.
I've studied it pretty good. First recorded owner of the property goes back to 1820. Has been a few different homesteads on that farm. Its my sister and brother in laws property. 125 acres. Should have some fun this fall and winter.
@@darinblackburn6023 Then you've got yourself an AWESOME property to hunt for sure! And 125 acres is plenty to keep you busy. You should be able to recover some nice relics from there. I have three right now that are ongoing permissions. Those are nice to have.
I hope so. It's all i can think about after seeing all these other people digging up old stuff lol...been looking at lidar maps and think I've found some old cellar holes or some kind of old dug outs of something. I found some old 1938 aerials and most of those woods were open way back then. I know all those fields had to be cleared by horse and manpower. There is a place my brother in law call the swamp. He just thought it has always been there, but after looking at old aerials you can tell its a perfect rectangle of a house or barn. Its not too far from where I found that pottery and brick.
That's a pretty good idea. I actually have a 1890s something sears catalog in my truck my dad gave me several months ago. Need to go dig it out. I'm sure it would be cool to look at.
I got this book suggestion from BuckleBoy Metal Detecting - @Buckleboy He did a live stream on a lot more books than this that are useful. You should watch his live video. I linked it in the description of this video.
Hey bro! Beautiful finds, and very peaceful voice :9 Big support from your new friends, and subscribers, youtubers and metaldetecting couple from southern Europe... Stay positive and happy hunting!
Thank you so much for the encouragement and great comments! I would love to be able to hunt in Europe some day. I'll be checking out your channel. Thanks again!
@@dcmdetects You are welcome brother! We detectorist share tha same passion.. and it's interesting that we can share our fun and knowledge with each other :) Happy hunting,
Pelo que entendi, eles apenas adicionaram alterações ao cancelamento de ruído para ajudar com a EMI. Eles adicionaram algo chamado “cancelamento de ruído contínuo”.
I agree on the iron bias setting I wish they would have added it but I'm sure if they had added it to the XTP there would have been a lot of people unhappy that bought the XTerra Elite or already own the NOX 700/900. Take what we can get I suppose. Thanks for the comment!
I like to be able to hear everything even if I’m not digging it. I can still get an idea of what else is in the ground and just how trashy or not trashy an area is. It’s just my personal preference. Some people would rather use notch/reject.
@@dcmdetects I hear you.. but here upstate NY , I have an old park that is littered so badly, youd throw your machines out in the trash if you didnt discriminate, its that bad
Nice finds... that 8 inch coil seems like it does a pretty good job. .. think i will get one to try out on my xtp. Hope i can get on some silver soon. Only 1 war nickle so far.
It took me almost a year to find my first silver, a Roosevelt dime. I have found a few more after that. Just have to be on the right ground and swing over it.
You may already know this but the NOX coils are compatible with the XTerra Pro so that's a bonus if you already have them. I've seen people using the small 6-inch Nox coil on the Xterra Pro and it works great. I have a video posting this morning using the V8X coil with these settings. Thanks for the comment!
Nice...I'll be looking for that new video...I was getting ready to ask about the 8 inch coil. Thinking about getting one myself but don't know if it would make a big difference.
I did a coin shooting video about 4 month ago using the V8X coil running pretty much stock settings. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dnXqUyBzDe4.htmlsi=_SmIEmz4X2fxtZ2Q
Great suggestions. Walking the fields after a heavy rainstorm sometimes exposes cool things on the surface and sometimes on a pillar of sand. Nice when they are propped up on sand so they are easier to see too. :)
Thanks for this video. Think I will give it a try on my XTP. I've had it for about 2 months. Found some coins, but think I could do better trying this.
I hope it does well for you, come back and let me know how you did. You can still hit trash with this but listen close to the tone and turn at least 90 degrees on the target. If it sounds trashy don’t bother digging. Good luck and thanks for watching!
I gave this a shot lastnight. I thought i found all of the coins in my yard since I haven't found any the last couple times out. I ended up finding a 1973 penny. I'm still happy with it. Going to give it a try on some other properties I'm going to be detecting. Was nice not having to dig all the other stuff. Thanks again.
@@darinblackburn6023 I’m glad it worked good for you. It will definitely keep you from digging a lot of stuff. It’s basically cherry picking for the coins. Remember too if you want to dig the zinc pennies drop that tone break a few segments. You could try 72. I’ll be posting a short hunt video soon using these settings.
Was going down my side drive tonight and found my oldest coin so far using these settings again. It was a 1913 wheat cent. Not pretty but still nice. Been down that drive atleast 100 times lol it picked it right out.
Kind of odd it was found on a Church ground and yes after you mentioned the name it sounded familiar and when you mentioned it was condoms, I do remember hearing of them before.
With these being popular in the 1920s and 1930s it pre-dates the church that is currently there. The vacant lot next to the church has old history so I think it came from there.
