- It was unusually cool down at the beach on this Summer's day, but that's fine with me because it means I had it to myself.
I took the Minelab Equinox 800 out for a spin to see what treasures I could find.
The scenery was beautiful, the weather a bit drizzly, so join me on the hunt!
Yay was hoping you would find a ring and u did.
You may need to get a loupe to see the writing
I’ve been lucky with rings lately, having found at least one on each of my last 4 beach hunts! I’m sure this run will come to an end though.
nice hunt!
Thanks!
Nice hunt, very small digging tool you use for a beach, I use a full size shovel and drag it behind me to leave tracks so I can grid pieces out systematically. with the lack of rock on that beach a sand scoop would be a go as well, enjoy the vids.
Thanks for watching! I prefer the compact hand digger when I’m hunting the dry (and inter-tidal) areas and like to dig minimal sized holes, but I do use the long handled scoop when hunting in the water, and in the sand near the low tide line etc. I use my feet to mark the grid lines. Happy hunting Mark!

Hey there! Thanks for watching!
thanks for the vid
No problem!
Another really enjoyable video Steve😊. It's so nice to find a good coin spill isn't it? This has spurred me on to go beach detecting this weekend on my favourite beach on Anglesey, North Wales (uk) and brave the cold(winter here) I just need to detect! 🤑🤑.

Thanks Phil! A coin spill is always welcome. Good luck out there! What are the typical finds for a beach in your area?

Hi Steve... apart from the usual rubbish like bottle caps,dog tags etc, mainly modern coins, some pre-decimal back to about late 1800's, occasionally rings(about 10 last year), silver jewellery, the odd mobile phone. The other thing I find is peace and quiet 🤫 and stunning scenery - a lot like the beaches in your videos.
(check out Red Wharf Bay, Benllech, Moelfre, Beaumaris and Camaes Bay). This is as important as finds😊. Keep up the good work and top videos. 👍👍👍
Nice to watch detecting from the other side (of the earth that is - here in Oxnard California) Is there a reason you use a small hand shovel rather than a sand scoop attached to let's say a broom handle (which I use when digging in the sand)
Thanks for watching! I find it far easier to carry a small, light weight hand shovel if I'm only hunting the dry sand (or the edge of the wet/dry during lower tides). If I'm detecting in the water then I do have a long handled sand scoop that I use instead.
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting should have guessed you found it easier. My bit of arthritic knees were saying “owww” every time you getting down to dig. I just have to have that sand scoop with the broom handle. Thanks again for the vids, do enjoy them
Hi Steve, are you considering switching to the Minelab Manticore?
I'm definitely tempted - maybe in 6 months or so once all of the kinks are ironed out with it...
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting makes sense…I’ll be figuring mine out as have just got one. My wife and I enjoy your channel.
Hello great videos 👍. Every time you get a signal you touch a button on the top right on the equinox panel what button are you touching and why ?
I use the WM08 wireless module with earbuds when I’m detecting, and when I find a target that I want the viewer to hear I press the WiFi button to disconnect the module so the audio goes through the main speaker and not the earbuds.
