- "How To Find Gold" was one of my top searches when I first got a Metal Detector.
I still consider myself a beginner in the hobby of Treasure Hunting. If you are new to metal detecting.. hope this small experiment might help you.
The Metal Detector used for this gold test was the Minelab X-Terra Pro paired up with the new 8 x 5" V8X Coil.
It doesn't matter what metal detector is used... gold can read similar to aluminum foil on just about any metal detector, if you are discriminating out aluminum or pull tabs there is no doubt you are missing some gold.. but you are also saving yourself from digging a lot of trash!
Is it worth it?
Have any tips on finding gold?
Nice demonstration on the different tones and vdi's Austin. That's why I'm a dig it all kinda detectorists, I know there's treasures under the ground and the only way to find them is to dig it all 😁
I dig all the beeps too. Thanks for the information.
If it chirps! I'm going to dig it, could be a parakeet😂
Very informative. Nice job, Austin.
Good demonstration, Austin. Very informative. Thank you. :-)
Karat gold has various base metals you have to account for. Platinum, palladium, silver, copper, zinc, and ,yes, I have seen iron, so of course it can throw a detector inconsistently. Yes I have seen iron mixed in a gold ring, was weird, but magnets don’t lie. Thought it was plated, but I recovered the actual percentage in weight. Was surprised, maybe not, chinesium.
Pretty much Dig everything 😂😂😂
Love educational videos.The more you use a detector the more you learn about the sounds and number combination for target ID.I hunt LI and NYC beaches and don't dig 1-4 or bottle cap #'s.You can't walk 3 feet without hitting one of those #'s.
you are my favorite detectorist
Great video. I think for more of a realistic guide would be to do go over the target again but at 90° to your left or right. The readings could be completely different.
Great test! what an eye opener. This is why I dig all targets. More work but at least I don't pass up the gold.... JUST SAYIN....
Great video showing how random these gold pieces can be. Thumbs up!
If you deliberately look for trash while metal detecting you`ll be really happy.
The pull tabs are what I seek & desire.... 🥲😌🤣
Thanks for the video Austin great pointers
I have dug about 11 junk rings and 3 small silver ones in the last week. Most were penny signals.
great test! it showed that gold hits almost everywhere on the TID's Nice job
Great demo! Gold can be anywhere on the number scale!!👍😎👍
You should have done this test with the stock coil. Most beginners will only have the stock coil
I can put it on for another experiment but I think target ID might be similar
This is so true.. thanks for the video.. it's true across most spectrums of detectors. I had the same thing happen w my at pro and a signal that would be in the zinc penny range and it was a large 18k ring. Long story short..u have to dig a ton of garbage to get the good stuff..😅
My friend, the noun Gold is used too loosely. Yer looking for jewelry and relics. Gold is a whole different thing. I do have the xterra and found trash and coins, but going for "placer gold" is a challenge with this model. But, it will find gold. Keep at it!⛏️⛏️⛏️
Is it possible to make a comparison between the devices
I will give it a try soon👍

Hi from South Island New Zealand love the channel I have a X-TERRA PRO would you recommend a smaller coil I see that it helps with the erotic VDI numbers keep the vidios coming. Kia Kaha !
Pro tip, avoid picnic tables while hunting parks. It’s where all the pull tabs live.
Thank you! Great video!
ONE OF YOUR BEST VDI..SOUND TESTS...$50 detector will beep like a $2000 detector...just dig everything 😂😂😂
Hello from Ohio finally in here when you are live.
This one was not quite live, hopefully next time! :)
Nice Austin!
Where do you guys find rules on local parks? Looked online and cant find park permission
cool. Im looking in to this detector . Is it easy to use for a first timer ?
Yes it's simple enough but leaves you room to learn and improve while still having a good machine.
It's a pretty solid starter machine.
What digging tool you got?
yesterday i went to my local park with the goal of getting the pull tab signals out, ended up finding all the nickels i've missed! ya never know what its gonna be lol
What are your settings?
So what should i buy. Xterra pro or vanquish 540 confused please help
what setting do you have it at
Nice good ID we don’t know is gold thank you
That's why when park hunting MF Legend with Ferro check kicks ass
Also... It's easier to learn what trash sounds like
Can you do this with the vanquish also? Thanks
I think I can bring the Vanquish out for a little experiment soon 👍
Very informative. What settings were you using, park mode or field mode, sensitivity, etc?
I think I was just running park 2, 15khz, 5 tones mostly & around 21 sensitivity nothing too crazy. 👍
Thank you 🙏 for video
Just a curiosity how much is the V8X Coil and where can i get from??..........thinking about getting it for my X-Terra Pro
cost me $99, spot I got it from is out of stock unfortunately keep your eyes out 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors but where did you get your V8X Coil at??
I got my V8X coil from High Plains Prospectors. Ordered online. You may need to check to see if it is in stock right now.
What store or where did you get that new coil for the Xterra Pro
Unfortunately out of stock where I got it right now, keep your eyes out they should be back around soon. 👍

Bold!
Have you tested any gold that doesn't ring up at all? Light chain bracelets?
Tried a small gold earring, sounds like scrap but it picks it up a little bit
Some trash? MOSTLY TRASH
