On a recent trip to Tasmania's East Coast, I managed a couple of hours metal detecting with the Minelab Manticore and the M8 coil! Come and see what I found...!
Nice scenery down there , The pre-decimals were neat, and I got to wondering if you have found a round Fifth cent coin considering no detectorists to date have pulled one up only multi sided ones which is most odd if not a bit perplexing . But some good finds and lead is worth saving these days . Cheers Mate👍👍👍😎💨🏴☠☮☮☕☕💡😊
I’ve never found one detecting, but I have a collection of them I bought several years back. They were discontinued when it become evident the silver content made the coin worth more in scrap value than 50c, so the bank recalled them. Many were kept by collectors and others with an interest in the silver, but many were melted down I believe…
Last year you found a plate with a eagle seating on a shield with 15 stars/1 big one. I known I've seen it somewhere but can't remember, I'm fairly certain it is associated with American history., Then I thought of another metal detector in the US, Green Mountain Metal Detecting on RU-vid. He might be able to give you an idea of what it is. Just a thought and I'll keep looking, its driving me bonkers.. PS love you adventures
Thanks for watching! The weather has been pretty wild, with high winds and big swells. Hopefully the beaches give up some good stuff for you after all the sand has been shifted around.
Beautiful beach and with all the rocks using a scoop is fairly worthless. Nice old coins, not many here on the local beach here. Been detecting about 3 years now and only found 1 coin prior to 1950 and maybe 3-5 in the 50’s era.
Gday mate - with the numbers on the manticore - for coins and other materials - what program you using predominantly and would you have a list what number is what on the manticore? Thanks buddy enjoying your videos - im from sunny Queensland happy hunting
I use the standard beach general mode. You can’t really rely on the target ID numbers, as the mineralised salt water throws it out. Instead concentrate on the tone, check that the signal is repeatable from different directions, and check the 2D map to make sure the target trace is on (or at least touching) the non-ferrous line. Good luck!
