Metal detecting is such a fun hobby and there is always more to learn and discover. One thing I've learned since posting this video is to avoid taking even a small, 36" shovel into a public park. For my park digs I now ONLY use a small hand trough or a hori hori knife to cut plugs. I wasn't aware of this practice when I first posted this video. You won't find "Don't use a shovel to dig in a park" listed in a "Metal Detecting Ethic Lists" but the concept of "no trace plug digging" is something that is increasingly encouraged. I'm sharing this so that others might learn from and avoid my mistake. Hope you enjoy and happy digging!
Great videos. your videos are exactly what i needed. im new to metal detecting and the simplex is my first machine. i havent made a cheat sheet yet. right now im just digging solid tones that dont jump all over the place.
This was fun! You got a fair mix of pieces. The personal items are always my favorites because I wonder about the stories behind them. We watched a program on one of the British streaming channels called The Detectorists, about a group of friends who like detecting. I think you'd enjoy it if you have some time on your hands this winter.
Thanks for the sub Dan! Not an expert (nor did I stay in a holiday inn anytime recently) but ping me if I can help with anything. Still learning the Nox but also enjoy and use the Simplex!
I find this oddly fascinating Rob! I just want to keep watching to see what will be next. When I am out photographing I use a strap for glasses. It makes it a bit easier.
Good job on the video and diggin, enjoy that Simplex. I do. Maybe we can get out together sometime, we are having a hunt in June, 12th is meet and greet and hunt is the 13th. Galesburg ,Illinois at Lake Story, information on the Illinois/Iowa Treasure hunters FB page soon, lots going on with that it will be fun. Chuck

Oh I live here in lake mills. Personally I wouldn't care at all about the holes just put dirt back and your good in my eyes
Great video Rob. Your enthusiasm for the hobby shows clearly. Keep them coming man.
Thanks buddy!

Thx Casey. I’m mostly using my Equinox now but feel free to ping me if I can be of any help. Simplex is a great machine.
Nice video and history lesson on the area. Keep it up, having just picked up a Simplex as well, I am interested in seeing videos of others using one.
Thanks Gary! I’m new to the Simplex too but feel free to ping me if you have any questions. So far it seems like a great machine!

Hi Rob!
I find this oddly fascinating Rob! I just want to keep watching to see what will be next.
When I am out photographing I use a strap for glasses. It makes it a bit easier.
Thanks Rob - love the suggestion re the strap!
