- Episode 210 - I have decided to create a 'how to' guide for those that are looking to get in to metal detecting and learn how to use a metal detector. I spent several hours watching other channels guides, coupled with my own experience and created my own version. I cover detectors, the kit you need, tones & signals, iron, depth, target size, the land and many more key components so you can get started in this fascinating hobby.

![Your Complete Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting [GETTING STARTED]](/img/tr.png)
I used to be a member of a local archeology group that did metal detector taster sessions. The main difficulty I found beginners had was keeping metal objects well away from the coil when searching and recovering finds, leading to false signals and confusion. You didn't really cover the technique for pinpointing with the detector to determine the exact location of a signal, so as to avoid damaging finds when digging. I have noticed that a lot of experienced detectorists on youtube (including you) allow the spade to point inwards at an angle when removing the plug, which can lead to hitting the find especially when its deep. I hope I haven't been too negative here, the video was a good starting point for new entrants to our great hobby.
Hey John how are you doing? Thanks for getting in touch with your feedback, it is very much appreciated as I try to use viewer feedback to improve what I do. Yes pinpointing with the coil is something I should probably have mentioned and done a little lesson with using a target and the paper. My bad on that one. Its a lot harder than it looks to create a video like this, I actually did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script including topics to cover. I missed a couple of things, but I hope that newcomers to the hobby can take something useful from this video :) Thanks so much for watching and offering your thoughts. I hope to see you on a future episode
Hey duke great vid very helpful for me thanks …..I did my first detecting the other week and found some really old rusty ornate iron pieces …..I have no idea how to clean and look up about these but wondered if you had any advice. ? I wish I could send you a pic as you would probably know better than me lol …..I’m sure one piece is a very old door knocker but it’s so thick with rust and where I found it doesn’t make any sense …..I look forward to any advice
Jason 😊👍
@@jasonhumphries1271 hi Jason, thanks for getting in touch, generally in the UK we ignore iron as 99% of the time iron is just rusty farm junk. I did once find a huge rusty iron lump hammer that I expect would clean up great. I've no idea how to clean rust, Google might know more. Those early months of the hobby can be frustrating, stick at it. What machine do you use?
Y97?!
I use deionised water 💦 hope this helps 🙃
I'm thinkin' about getting into detecting and saw your video was for beginners. I thank you so much for your instructions. I've learned enough to tell me that I can do this, I'm disabled, and it won't bother me physically. Thanks again "Duke." You've set me on a good path to follow.
Hi there Jim, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and for watching this video. I am really pleased that you have learned something from this video. I have full faith you can do this too, disability or no disability. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. In the meantime, have a look at this video if you like, it shows 2 of my best ever GOLD finds, found on the same field, just 7 days apart. One of my absolute favourite videos:

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you on my channel again. Gareth
What a brilliant video for newcomers to the hobby like me. Thank you so much for making it clear, concise and interesting.
Hi thanks very much for your warm comments and also for visiting my channel & watching this video. It pleases me to receive such great feedback from something I created :) So thank you, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thank you for an excellent informative video.
@@michaelpace773 thanks for watching ☺️
With the understanding that this is a detector for those on a budget ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH and that it obviously can't compare with higher end models costing hundreds of dollars, having said that I can say I am very pleased with what I got for the low cost. There are cheap detectors out there likely not worth getting, but this model is an exception to that. I have read very good comment of the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV on a metal detecting forum. If you are on a budget or simply don't want to spend a lot to give this hobby a try to see if you want to keep at it, then I recommend this model as likely being one of the best you can get for one being in the low price range. The 5 star rating is to reflect 5 stars for one in this price range. This comment is from my friend as it was the gift he wanted to buy for himself with some of the money he got for Christmas.
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope you took something useful from it as many others before you have. I would recommend watching this video next, 2 of my very best GOLD finds found on the same field 7 days apart. You can see it here if you wish:

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you again on my channel in the near future. Gareth
Very cool! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m 60 years old and always wanted to metal detect. I look forward to starting now that I’m near retirement. All the best! Jim from Georgia
Just bought a detector. Thanks for this very useful upload.
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for watching this video & offering your kind words. It really pleases me to know that this video has helped so many people, 115,000 views is crazy for a small time metal detecting channel like mine. If you ever have any questions, please let me know. In the meantime, I uploaded this video recently showing 2 of my best GOLD finds found on the same field 7 days apart:

Thanks again and I hope to see you on my channel again in the very near future. Gareth
Brilliant video! You've tempted me to return to my old hobby.
Thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope you learned something useful. This is my most watched video in my gallery and it makes me very proud and happy to see how many views it has received. Thanks again, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. If you are interested in seeing 2 of my best ever gold finds, then have a look at this video:

Thanks again, and have a great day. Gareth
Good to see you trying to help the newcomers with some sound advice.I had to learn from scratch but having detected over 25 years I think I am well versed in technique.Having said that I have just pulled up my first Gold Stater,what a thrill.
Hi Dave, congratulations on finding a Celtic stater, that's fantastic, dream find right there!
As for this video, I thought I would try my hand at a guide for beginners as I see it as an opportunity to generate views long term. I did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script with topics to cover. I think it worked out really well.
Thanks for tuning in, congratulations again on your gold stater and see you on the next
Going metal detecting for the first time in May. My mother has 22acres of land and we’re going to explore! Great video 🫡
Hi Andrew, thanks so much for coming along to my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it, seems to be one of my most popular videos. Good luck on your future hunts, metal detecting can be frustrating in the early months, but stick at it and you will thrive. Gareth
How did it go? What detector brand do you have and do you recommend it?
@@airbornepizza I hope he didn't dig up a landmine !!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Hope not! Haven't finished the video yet but I appreciate the info. Might get one for my birthday and try to find some jewelry to break even at least, haha.
I am just about to buy my first detectable and have been researching the hobby. This is the first video I have looked at and found it really useful. Thanks for putting something like this up for detector virgins like me. I will be looking out for your other videos. John
Hi John, thank you so much for coming along to my channel and leaving me your great feedback, its really appreciated. It really pleases me to receive comments like this. I put a lot of thought and effort into this video in the hope it would help people new to the hobby just like you. I have over 200 other metal detecting videos, I would love it if you subscribed and had a look at some of my other videos. If you ever have any questions, ask away, I am happy to help. Have a great weekend. Gareth
That was a very thorough introduction to metal detecting. I will be taking away: diging three quarters round the hole to use the grass roots as a hinge to put it back and the deeper the find, the older the find. I'm glad you put in "You will need patience, just keeep going and don't give up" I know from experience people watch a twenty minute video and don't realise that it was six hours of metal detecting ? Cheers mate you've given me a lot to think about, as I start metal detecting and probably saved me a lot of trial and error making stuid desisions 👍 I look forward to watching more videos and seeinng how YOU do things.
Hi Gerard, good to hear from you and I am pleased you have took some useful pointers from this video. Yes metal detecting requires lots of hard work, time and patience. And correct, these videos are a culmination of around 5 hours in a field, then another 5 hours on my laptop editing and putting it all together. Thank you so much for you appreciation and kind words. There are a lot of guys who follow my channel who now use XP metal detectors and are learning from me and my channel, I am always available day or night to help people where and when I can. Hope you have a good day and hope to speak to you again soon. Gareth
Thanks Brother. Ya'll have some deep history on that side of the pond.
Hello & Greetings to you Ken, where about's in the USA are you from? Thanks so much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I cannot believe this video has received over 125,000 views, this makes me very proud. I do find a lot of coins and artefacts at good depths on some of my English pasture fields, but in truth most of the things we find here are usually 4-6 inches in depth. I recently uploaded this video which shows 2 epic GOLD finds I made a few years ago, both found on the same field, just 7 days apart. I would appreciate your comments:
ruclips.net/video/VasQozqHfyo/видео.html
Thanks again for coming along, hope you are subscribed and hope to meet you again in the comments section of some of my other 300 metal detecting videos. Have a great day. Gareth
You were one of the tubers I watched to learn, along with Liam when I first started 1 year ago. Great video and thank you👍
Hi Mick, thats good to know, it pleases me to know that some of the stuff I upload helps others out and makes a difference to their metal detecting journeys. Enjoying a week off here in Tenerife with the family, packed the Deus2 and Nokta PulseDive, hoping to film a beach video. Thanks again mate
thank you! i've always dreamed of detecting and bought my first today. heading out this weekend for my 53rd birthday. xo from the US!
Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and taking time out your life to watch this video. Congratulations on purchasing a metal detector. Thank you for your kind words and I hope you took something useful from this video. Hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thanks for posting this video , it has helped me a lot 👍
Hello, thank you very much for visiting my channel, watching this video and leaving your kind words. I am pleased it helped you out in one way or other. I am very happy to see this video reach 132,000 views, my most watched video ever!! Thanks again and I very much hope to see you on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Great video Gareth, you helped me so much when I started almost a year ago and have now found gold, silver and much more. Thank you.
Hey Archie, you are very welcome mate, congratulations on your gold and silver finds, that's awesome to hear. Thanks for the kind words and I very much hope to see you on the next episode. Have a great week and be lucky out there :)
This has been so helpful! Definitely coming along for the journey. Thank you!
Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video, it really pleases me to know that this video is helpful to lots of people. In fact 65,000 people have watched this, that is amazing for my tiny metal detecting channel. If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope to see you again on one of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thank you I just been giving Garrett 300i and a c scope 1220 never done metal detecting before watch a lot of it on you tube since covid now I got machines ain’t got a clue but watching you vid I’ve picked up a little knowledge about detecting a big thank and when I go I will let you no our finds 👍
Lost my wedding ring while skinning a deer in the forest. I suppose i am now involved in a new interesting hobby. Will update when i receive it! Good video. Thank you.
Hi there, wow that's one way to lose a ring. I hope that you remember the location, you should be able to find that pretty easily. It should remain on the surface for a few weeks before the earth begins to swallow it up. Good luck, please let me know if you manage to find it. Thanks so much for watching this video, I really appreciate it. Gareth
I regret to inform that the ring is still in the forest. It could only have been on a small patch as I removed it to keep it clean. My assumption, due to days of searching the same 100m strip, is that a crow is very pleased with his new addition to his collection. There were dozens watching me waiting to help clean the area after the deer was harvested.
That's life.
I have, however, found about everything in that area from aluminum cans to brass ammunition casings. Been enjoying your channel. I wish I could come to older places and search for old coins. If I find things as old as some of the stuff you find in my area, it is almost exclusively always stone. I have found a handful on arrowheads and countless shards of worked flint. This metal detection hobby is a whole new angle on stuff I already do.
@@woodymcwooderson7579 ah sorry to hear that you did not locate the ring. Perhaps it could have ended up in the deer carcass or maybe the back of your car/truck. Sometimes we think we lose something somewhere, then it turns up a few months later somewhere else. Pleased that you are enjoying the hobby though
Found it.
@@woodymcwooderson7579 no way, that is awesome well done 🍻🥳
Thank you from NJ United States great video!
Hello Jayson, thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video, I hope you found it useful. I really enjoyed making this video and I think it has become my 2nd most watched video ever!! Thanks again, and I hope to see you on one of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thank you for sharing your experience really enjoyed the video.
Hi Jeff, thanks so much for visiting my channel and watching this video. I very much appreciate your kind words too. I hope you took something useful from this video and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Thanks for explaining that, mate .. very helpful!
Hi there, you are very welcome. Thank you for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Cracking video Gareth 👍🏻🙌🏻 very informative and great advice for people that are wanting to start in the hobby. I've had my younger brother mither me the last week about taking him and showing him what to do, I've just shared this video with him and he can't wait to get started! Keep up the great work pal 👍🏻👊🏻
Hey mate, thank you very much. Spent quite a bit of time planning and executing this one. Its by no means perfect but I think its good enough to get people started. Thanks for sharing with ya brother, I hope he is enjoying the hobby as much as we do. Off to Tenerife day after tomorrow, still not completed the next episode yet!!
i have had a detector for several years, i found that getting down on my knees and pulling the dirt out and sifting through the dirt with my fingers was lame. you video showed me that i could get a little device you called a pointer. i found one cheap. i think this will change the game for me.
Thank you for this video.
My son and I are just getting started in metal finding as it is something we could do together at our own pace and you video helped me a lot .
😊 thank you so much! We love your content! 👍🏼
Hi there Bryan, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and for watching this video. I really appreciate your kind words and I wish you and your son good luck in your new found hobby. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. In the meantime, have a look at this video if you like, it shows 2 of my best ever GOLD finds, found on the same field, just 7 days apart. One of my absolute favourite videos:

Thank you for all the different types of sounds.
Hello, you are very welcome, thank you for choosing to take time out your day to watch this video, it is very much appreciated. You may find this video useful too, I compared a cheap metal detector to a very expensive metal detector. I located some real targets in the ground and compared the signals and sounds:

Great video!! Im gonna start this spring I got 2 detectors a pin pointer all the small thing for digging. I also picked up a drone and am looking for old maps of the locations I plan on visiting. Knowing the history of the land and getting a bird’s eye view should help big time. I keep reading online to look for old places of worship and just enjoy the time your having and you won’t be disappointed. Positive vibes is key. Cheers 🍻 from Newfoundland and Labrador

Top video bud always nice to give other people advice and help enjoy your weekender bud 👍
Now then Shawn, cheers mate. Rodney Cook weekender was great, but I didn't register a single find other than a couple of broken bullet cases. I did find quite a few tokens on the token field, won a couple of prizes. Was great to bump into and talk to lots of viewers and see the Regtons guys :)

Well done to you. I enjoy the channel. I have had some good results from beaches but only recently have tried land. Keep up the entertainment it’s very enjoyable and best of finds to come. Ed
Hey Ed, thank you for choosing to watch this video and for leaving your feedback. I really appreciate your comments and kind words.

Hello and Greetings to you Clair in the best country in the world. Thank you so much for your kind words. I put my heart and sole into this channel and its so nice when I receive comments like this. So thank you, and I hope I see you again soon 😊
Last summer i picked up a Fisher in a mid price range, and began practicing with it in my own yard an a neighbor's yard. Even though i have some experience using it, i found your video very helpful. My best find so far was a vintage sterling silver heart shaped pendant that is still in great condition. I also found an old piece of lead shaped like a padlock, but it is not a padlock. Perhaps it is some type of weight. I have found a few modern US coins, but nothing very wonderful yet.
Anyway, i am retired and have plenty of time for the hobby. The weather is getting better now here in New England. It will be time to get back out there. I still have a lot of space in my own yard to search before venturing elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your experience and providing such great video content! I can't wait to get back out there.
Hello Tony, thank you for such a wonderful and insightful comment, and also for taking the time to watch this video. It really does please me and make me feel proud to know that there are people all over the world watching this video and finding it useful. You found your first piece of silver, congratulations, this is usually when you become hooked!! I wish you luck on your future hunts, I am always available if you have any questions. Also, I very much hope to see you again in the comments on some of my many other metal detecting videos. I have almost 250 videos now :) Thanks again. Gareth
Thanks for that, I’m new and thinking of buying my first metal detector, great advice.
Hi David, ah this is brilliant, you are the exact kind of person I created this video for. Its not perfect and doesn't cover everything but its to get newcomers started.

Thanks again, and have a great day. Gareth
great guide I've invested in two metal detectors the MYLEK MYMD1062 and the Bounty Hunter Land Ranger plus recently the Garrett AT pro Garrett carrot pin pointer also a parrot Drone to search for potential targets from above

Thanks again, I wish you luck in your new found hobby. Parrot drone sounds interesting, I will have to have a look at what they are. Gareth
Thanks for your very informative video I found it very helpful, being a total newbie to this hobby I'm looking forward to your other videos.
Hi there Ian, thank you very much for visiting my channel and watching this video. I am really pleased you have found it useful. It seems to have helped a lot of people, almost 75,000 views on this one, quite an achievement for my tiny metal detecting channel. If you ever have any questions, please as away, I am always happy to help when and where I can. It really is a fascinating hobby once you are at one with a good machine and have permission on really productive land. Thanks again and i hope to see you on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Very excited to get into this, even if I never find anything crazy, I’ll have fun thinking I did! I tried magnet fishing, but that was a lot more work and time than I have, this seems like a more relaxed hobby
Hi Jim, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it? I'm blown away that this video has had 75,000 views, that's crazy for my channel. I once bought a magnet and rope, but never ended up using it as it sounded a bit dirty and you can't find any gold or silver. Metal detecting definitely requires a lot of time and patience, more so than magnet fishing. But I wish you luck in your new found pursuit, any questions, let me know. Gareth
Thank you very much, I'm new to this and you were very helpful... thanks again

Great video Gareth, you have helped me a lot on my journey. Top guy...
Hi mate, thanks, I hope that this video will help the detectorists of the future. Couple of things I missed out regarding gloves and pinpointing with the detector, but they are 2 things I do not use so slipped my mind. See you on the next episode, off hot air ballooning this evening..
I just joined a local club (CA, USA) so that I can use the detector that I bought years ago. I appreciate learning techniques from you. Thank you!
Hi Katy, thank so much for the very nice comments and thanks for dedicating 20 minutes of your life into watching this video of mine.

Great intro to the amazing hobby of metal detecting! I just bought my first detector, just got it yesterday, Its not a high end brand, It is called the Hazlewolke 1030, picked it up New for $120 cdn, heading out this afternoon for my very first adventure. Like you said, " a metal detector is a metal detector, I will for sure use some of your tips and tricks! Cheers mate.
Absolutely fantastic and very informative video mate and so well executed as always.
Thanks mate, something I've been wanting to do for a while. I did my research, did my planning, wrote my scripts and noted topics to cover. A couple of folk mentioned I should of talked about gloves and a detector pinpoint feature which are fair comments. There's so many topics I could of mentioned to be fair, I was happy with the finished project and I look forward to seeing how well (or bad) over time it performs
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire it was really well done mate, you certainly have a way with filming and talking.
Absolutely love it mate.
Hi mate, thanks. I always wanted to make a tutorial video like this as I know its a video that should carry on getting views for as long as it remains on RUclips. As expected it performed poorly to start with, but the analytics show its gaining momentum now and starting to do well
Thanks for the helpful information!
Hello there, you are very welcome, it really pleases me to know that people out there find this video useful 😊 Thanks for taking the time to watch and I hope to see you again on one of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Saw a random clip on insta of a guy finding stuff metal detecting and it really peaked my interest. Which brought me here wondering about the basics of such a hobby. Glad you were the video I decided on. Love you attitude and positivity!
Hi there, I really love this comment and love how you came over to RUclips and it was my channel you stumbled across. Did you search "How to metal detect?" Metal detecting is an awesome hobby and a hobby like no other. If you have plenty of free time on your hands, know lots of farmers/landowners and get a buzz of old coins, then this is the hobby for you!! Any questions, let me know. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I searched "Metal detecting for beginners" and your video was like the 3rd option.
I don't know a lot of land owners/ farmers but i do get a kick out of "You never know what you're going to find".
@@fernaureason7150 yes a little bit like fishing, you never quite know whats gona come up from the deep
Thank you for showing this.
Hi Yvonne, you are very welcome, I hope you found this video useful. I spent a lot of time planning, filming and editing this video, I was really happy with how it turned out and its become one of my most watched videos ever! Would love to see you again in the comments on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Have a great day. Gareth
Having just taken up detecting ( in my ,shall we say older days ,58) watching your video was extremely helpful , 😊
Hello there, thank you so much for visiting my channel and choosing to watch this video. I am so pleased this video helped you, I just can't believe its received 100,000 views, how awesome is that? Those first few months in the hobby are the hardest, it is so important to learn your machine and learn the land. If you ever have any questions, please get in touch and ask. I am always happy to help :) I recently uploaded a video of 2 amazing GOLD finds I made on the same field 7 days apart, its days like this and finds like this that make it all worth while:

Nice one Gareth that will help a lot of newcomers out for sure. A good haul of finds to get anyone interested. Until the next one take care.
Thank you John, something a little different from me, something I have been meaning to do for a long time. I hope this will bring views & subscribers to my channel over the coming months and years. I saw other channels, much smaller than mine make a beginners guide like this and they got hundreds of thousands of views !! Take it easy mate
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I may think about doing a beach one sometime.
@@northdevondetectorist thats a very good idea John! Still need a real life lesson from you when I am down next year - keep up the good work Gareth!
Really top guide for beginners. Thank you.

Great video! Really considering taking up the hobby and enjoyed this video, was so fun to see what you found! Might have look at investing in a metal detector next year!….
Hi Emma, thanks so much for visiting my channel and watching this video. Apologies for the slow reply, it takes me ages to work my way through replying to all the lovely comments I receive. Metal detecting is an awesome hobby if you have lots of spare time and access to fields/land. If you ever have any questions or need help with anything, please let me know. Have a great weekend. Gareth
Thanks for the vid! I'm from Alabama (US), and plan on trying it out at the beach, soon! You've given me some great beginners' tips, and I'm excited to try it out! Thanks!
Hi there Jeremy, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope you took something useful from it as many others before you have. I'm not much of a beach detectorist so cannot offer much tips on that, but I would recommend watching this video next, 2 of my very best GOLD finds found on the same field 7 days apart. You can see it here if you wish:

I really enjoyed your video. Thinking about getting into the hobby myself, and this helped nudge me in that direction a little further.
Happy hunting!
Hi there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. Really appreciate your comments and kind words.

Hello & Greetings to you Bill, thank you so much for coming along to my channel, I really appreciate it. What part of the world are you from and which metal detector did you order? I am really pleased you found this video useful. I have a lot of videos on my channel, you will see LOTS of beautiful British countryside and LOTS of amazing coins and artefacts.

Nice one mate so many new detectorist will love this, and me too always good to get back to basics :)
Hi John, thank you for the positive feedback. This has always been something I've wanted to do and potentially a video that can do well in the long term as newcomers come along and search RUclips "How to metal detect". Currently it is performing poorly, but I am interested to see how it does long term. Thanks for tuning in
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Hi Gareth I don't think this will perform poorly and likely to get you more subscribers (I hope) - time will tell. When I first started it was quite difficult to find beginner videos that were easy to follow so I hope this gets noticed and I see over 1300 already, and as always production quality first class. I haven't been detecting long and struggle being abroad working so tonnes to learn and every little tip helps. Cheers
Just saw this. I have a pinpointer. And I'm getting ready to purchase a detector. Perfect timing! Thanks.
Hello there thanks very much for choosing to visit my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it.

My first detector comes tonight and I'll head out this weekend and do some detecting this video helped me loads esp with the number etc when catching a signal as nobody else explained what they meant. Brilliant mate thanks and may the future bring you some gold 👍
Hello, what metal detector did you buy? Have you got yourself a permission already? I am pleased my video helped you, seems like it has helped a lot of people as it is my most watched video ever. Well I've already found my fair share of gold in the 8 years I've been metal detecting. In fact have a look at my latest upload, its a look back on 2 gold finds I made on the same field several years ago:
ruclips.net/video/VasQozqHfyo/видео.html
Did you find something ?
Used it once and no. My son came not long after I got it so been rather busy being a dad but soon as he is a little bit older and even if I have more time to myself in-between work etc I'll definitely be out detecting! @@TehhDesiree
Thank you, enjoyed very much. May try myself.👍
Hi, you are welcome, and thank you so much for taking the time to watch my take on a metal detecting guide. If you ever have any questions or looking for advice, please let me know. Thanks again and have a great day. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire gratefully thanks 🙏🏻
Nice video and very useful. I have just started out and only really found lumps of farming equipment (iron). I have set the machine to avoid but keep getting good noises, dig it and find junk. Can get tiring with all the digging. Would love to get to the point where I am happy not to dig a signal! Will keep practicing
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my metal detecting channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. Congratulations on getting into the best hobby in the world!! Those initial months can be incredibly frustrating, you need to spend a long time learning what your metal detector is telling you and also learning the land. Once you gather experience, metal detecting can become an amazing hobby, especially when you find a nice old silver coin. We all dig iron, but over time, you will start to ignore those big iron signals. Have a look at this other video of mine, finding 2 amazing GOLD finds on the same field, just 7 days apart:

Thanks for the video. Going out today for the first time just to mess about and familiarize myself with my new detector (MineLab Vanquish 540). My pinpointer was delayed, and isn't coming until tomorrow. Hopefully that's not too much of a handicap. I've never metal detected, but my uncle has been obsessed with relic hunting for as long as I can remember.

Yes it was helpful. The instruction on my detektor didnt say anything about type of sound when something is deep or shallow in the ground. Now i djust have to figure out how to eliminate sound of f.x nails, chewingum paper, cork, barbwire and so on…
