I believe...and correct me if I'm wrong. This may be THE FIRST documented case of someone actually finding the chain AFTER the pendant was located lol. I've been doing this for 15 years and NEVER found the chain once. GOOD JOB!
I need to take it to a bigger beach to give it a real test but I'm thinking it should run pretty stable if it's got the Vanqush / Equinox multi-IQ. Good luck out there!
That gold chain is elusive because of the faint, low response signal. That's because of the chains small details in its construction. Many people will not even check those signals. I found one gold chain and I knew it was in the area. The signal was basically identical to your chain signal. Nice work.
I got a vanquish 340, went to the park and I have found a lot of aluminum and four or five 9mm bullets. Pretty fun! Can't wait to dig up something fancy
@@TreasureOutdoors well it didn’t take long lol. I found my girlfriend’s dad’s wedding ring he lost about 10 years ago, then went to a park near me and found a chain from a necklace which might (strong emphasis) be gold. I’m not too sure how to know if it’s gold without bringing it somewhere, but it’s heavy and not magnetic 😄
The first time I bought my detector a bounty hunter back in the 90s I was testing it in my backyard and found a gold chain I got 45 bucks for scrap. Then, I found this mound of metal I thought was a meteorite. I sent it to another state through the mail and they analysed it and it was just solder.
I just discovered your channel. I like your narration style, and your humor. I am thoroughly engrossed in your video. Based on this experience, I am subscribing to your channel. Thanks!
How cute was the pink paw. ☺ It was good to see that the sand flattener didn't scoop up much of the surface, leaving the treasures in tact. The one on our beaches here actually sifts the sand to remove 💉and stuff, so it probably scoops up most of the treasures, as well.
Well done on the chain...buy yourself a new pouch,before you start losing gold..determination is all you need to find gold..but the better the machine,the more you will find,
I'm pretty confident that your Jesus figure is made of (white Gold), because it would have to say that there is also 925 ( sterling) as well. I don't think they would mix junk metal with precious metal. Great Hunt and congratulations on all your finds. 🙂👍
@byronhewitt3463 you're correct, any bi metal jewellery should have both stamps. Also the reason junk metal isn't combined with precious metals is that you physically can't join them. They simply won't solder together. Silver & gold can be soldered no problem. It's much easier to solder 2 golds though because the melting temperature is much closer
@@brianrescallar4077 5 meters would be a lot, I doubt most handheld detectors can read that deep

@@navanawatt8415 Soldering jewelry, it is easier if both metals have same or close melt temp. Between silver and gold you have to have a solder that melts below either one's melt temp. That will probably mean
If your non-waterproof metal detector ever gets wet...first thing is to turn it off (if you can) then immediately remove the batteries and dry them off. Then remove the electronics from its case, clean it off and let it totally dry. Then reassemble. Many times you luck out and save a good detector...
I found like almost 1000$ in gold in like not even a month going out every now and then, that’s not including the nice sterling fakes too…this machine is my best friend lol
Almost gave a thumbs down because you gave me the option at the end and then my subconscious basically screamed at me that I better not and that I was entertained the entire time and it deserves a thumbs up....well played....thumbs up.
Congrats on that gold bonanza! Two really nice pieces of gold. If I remember you got a gold anchor years ago also so seems to be a nautical trend with you. Can't wait to try my elite when it comes next week.
You got to pay or get a pass for all the beaches in my area too, it sucks, there's a couple beaches within biking distance of me but they are all lousy beaches
Some smaller beaches you can get parking permits for a year which helps out with cost if you go there a lot. But some of the bigger beaches you end up spending $30 to park for a couple hours and find a couple pennies lol. It's still fun! 🏖
Can I know what type of camera you use, do you place it on your chest or head, and what settings do you use so that everyone can benefit from your experience? Thank you for the wonderful video😊
Hey Austin. Awesome finds. It's a great feeling when you know your finds have paid for the detector...and on the first outing! By the way, from what I can tell on Minelab's website, the X-Terra Pro coils are compatible with the Elite. So your v8x should work on the Elite also. My Elite hasn't arrived yet, so haven't confirmed myself.
Can you recommend a decent reliable metal detector for a relative beginner? I bought a cheap one on the rainforest and it is garbage (does not work even with planted targets). Thanks
Honestly not sure, would like to put it head to head with the Elite first. I did notice Minelab seems to have dropped the price of the Equinox 600, I see it new on Amazon for $467!
Congrats on joining the gold chain club. Minelabs beginning with the equinox are deadly on fine gold chains. Try a Reilly Treasured Gold mesh pouch for water hunts.
Great hunt AUSTIN. The zipper you have to get it back on the other teeth too try a strait screw driver insert on the sidethat is off the track on the zipper pull give a lil twist to spread that side just wide enough to get it back on track then slide it all the way back (wide open)and squeeze the opening WITH needlenose pliers back to original size should fix it TRY AND SEE IF IT ZIPPS THEN ADJUST IT TO WORK GOOD AS POSSIBLE..... LOL HAHAHAHA
I was metal detecting on a scout reservation, because one of the scout masters lost a wedding ring, and they call me, I found some arrows and a neckerchief slide and a 48 caliber casing
so the gold chain shows up as a 7 on the meter? Ouch! I have that notched out on my Garrett At pro. I guess I should just dig everything from now on...
That was awesome!! Great finds🙌 I’ve just bought the x-terra elite myself, my first metal detector. Could I ask you for a little advice please? ..I’ve only been out in the field opposite my house in the countryside UK and it’s constantly beeping with numbers bouncing all over the place. I think I might have the sensitivity up too high? How do I turn it down?!🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’ve been watching videos online and you sound very knowledgeable so I’m hoping you don’t mind but would understand if you have more important things to do! Any help would be very much appreciated👍
Hey! Love the channel. I do want to ask you a question though. I’m into metal detecting now and had a good beginners one for some time now. I want to get a more professional one. What would you recommend? At the same time, I don’t want to be spending a lot of money lol. What’s a good metal detector for a decent price? Or could you name a few brands that are good and decently priced?
It depends but the simplest way is if it's precious getting the scrap price of gold or silver that day and then weigh whatever you have. But that really only gives you a scrap value, some things can be worth a lot more than the metal price!
You ended up with a nice haul. Congrats on the gold. So good. Now that the weather is warm and more people are outdoors, your treasure tally might ramp up a bit. 🙂 Good on you, Austin.
If this isn’t a testimonial to buy the Xterra Elite, nothing is! Great finds with that new Minelab! Nothing better than taking your Xterra Elite out on it’s maiden detection voyage and find enough Gold to cover the cost of the detector! Surely many good times ahead with that Xterra Elite! Can’t wit to see more of it in action and any coparisons you come up with! Congrats on your Gold finds! Well done!
The EQ600 vs Elite would be a great video. Also im looking at purchasing one of the two. Mixed statements on if the EQ600 is really waterproof or not which is very important to me cause ive already killed a Vanquish in the surf!!!!
You make it look to easy lol. I went to the beach with a discovery 1100 and a screwdriver because that’s all I could afford right now. Just starting out and the beach is not easy.
My cat wants the race cars! She loves playing with them. That item is called a rope chain, and that pendant with a silver colored Jesus on it is probably white-gold on the Jesus part.
Great hunt and congrats on the gold! I just picked up the elite a week ago and it's a fantastic machine on the beach and in the parks. Much much better and very stable vdi compared to the pro.
would this be a good detector for a beginner? money isnt an option. I just want to buy one that will last a long time and from a company that has top notch customer service! any input is appreciated
Congratz on your find! Have to say funny thing. I found mine first gold chain with pendant at the same day as you did ! Just a bit thinner with smaller pendat(s). One was silver and thats why i probably got it. Been very lucky.
Chain after the pendant - holy grail. I just got the pro not too long ago. And ended up getting elite not a week or so ago. I was hoping the same thing that the jumpy signals would be gone with it. I haven’t used elite yet but plan on taking it on its maiden voyage at cocoa beach this coming week.
Outstanding!! Nice way to justify the cost of new detector. Optimism is the way to go! Really nice pendant and chain. For sanity sake, can you put the settings you used on the Minelab X-Terra ELITE in the water? Thanks for the video!
I forget the exact settings but I know I was experimenting between beach 1 & 2. I had my sensitivity around 20 and also was adjusting my recovery speed between 2-3. Will try to keep it in mind for the future! Thanks for hangin'!

Always look... NEVER find it!!
Ditto!
I did once but I knew the pendant and chain were in the area. Not the same I know.
Mr Bottle cap I have but it was a bigger chain. I have been hunting since 1992.
I found a gold ring on the beach, but it was on a woman’s hand. She was sunbathing.
I’m glad a nice guy got to find some gold. Congrats
This is what iv been waiting for. a real test in sea water! Ordering mine now. Thanks for the vid and congrats on the awesome finds!

did you find the owner? ;-}
so cool
He probably didn't dig THAT deep

Thanks for the video. I was considering getting rid of my surf master PI but after watching that I decided to keep it.
Waaaaaay to go Austin! You found gold!! Whoop whoop!🎉
Holy! This is my favorite video of metal detecting

Hello what the exact name lf this kind of Shovel you are using please ? Maybe a link if you have . Thanks mate
Hey I am deaf, is this metal detector very useful for me with vibration feature?
I think it would work pretty well, if you end up picking one up hope you have fun out there! :)
@@TreasureOutdoors Thanks!
Tip-If you pinch the sides of the zipper with pliers a little together on your pouch the zipper will work

Hi Austin 👋
Thanks very much for sharing.
Lovely beach
Best regards and happy hunting from the UK 👍
Nice finds,I have a Garrett 350 and a mine lab gold monster haven't got a chance to really explored it yet,gotta find the time and places to do it.
Finding the spot can be the hardest part... but it's worth it. :)
Trying to figure out how the finds paid for the $479 metal detector. How much could you get for the gold chain at a pawn shop or jeweler?
The chain and pendant were about $500 in gold value.
Nice gold anchor 🔱⚓ I havnt found any gold this season, but I've found a silver chain and a couple silver rings
Yeah getting a new headlamp got me out on the morning before sunrise to test it out, new toys can be motivating at first when you want to test them
Keep looking, it's out there! Silver is sweet too. 👍
Optimism pays off, so does tenacity. Nice finds brother. 🤙
9:53 Hey there, how can i make it waterproof if the cable needs to be plugged in and therefore the cap is open? Thank you!
Can you recommend a good detector for someone new to the hobby
Congrats on the gold Austin!!!
They are waterproof without the cap. The cap is more for dust and dirt build up. Salt water may cause some corrosion with cap
Nice finds! Love the pendant of course. 😁
I wish I could see your set up for beach detecting.
I just got my elite and I am having a tough time figuring it out.
Do you live nearby and walk to the beach? I live in St Pete and all the beach parking is like $5 per hour.
That’s just gross. 😧
You got to pay or get a pass for all the beaches in my area too, it sucks, there's a couple beaches within biking distance of me but they are all lousy beaches

Hi, that Beach was salt water Beach? If so that detector worked quite well compared to my old Garrett pro.
What sort of process do you follow to get the items back to the owners?
Happy Digs Great beach hunt gratz on the treasure👍👍👍

My wife's Xterra Pro is a gold sniffing machine itself. The beach mode is actually multi although Minelab says it's 8Hz
Can you do this with a bicycle? And cranck up de sensitivity for gold only?
Congrats on the Gold Florida! It is beautiful! What a hunt!
Sunwest Park. My children love that place

Are you constantly filming? Or only once you hear a beep.
What’s your price on the equinox?

Hi I'm just wondering what is your opinion on the quest x5 thinking of getting it thanks
Is it worth spending the extra money in comparison to the Xtp?
how much money did you get from the gold necklace?
Would you recommend this for a beginner? I'm wanting to get into this.
Awesome finds congrats 👏🏻
Hi. What was the name of this detector? Great finds..
Yeah that is a rope chain. Awesome hunt. The Xtera Elite ran so smoothly and quietly in the water. That might be better then the Equinox 600.

Added: Today I purchased the Xterra Elite Expedition Pack as I just couldn’t pass up such a great value for such a capable detector.
I think the vanquish is one of the best beach metal detectors for ergonomics however it's crippled because it's not waterproof
what bag and scoop do ya use?

Holy moly! What a day! May I ask where you are located?
Would love to see the Vanquish thrown in on that comparison too. I'm trying to sell my 540 so I can buy the Elite
I swing a 600. Would love to see a side by side. Thanks!
Great job
What is the expensive thing you ever find
I just got an email with a software update for the X-Terra Pro. If you still have yours, maybe the update will help.
Good info, thanks! I read it might have something to do with noise canceling... but that could still be helpful.
What machine is it?
Great hunt and congrats on the gold! I just picked up the elite a week ago and it's a fantastic machine on the beach and in the parks. Much much better and very stable vdi compared to the pro.

Wish you luck! Minelab machines have always treated me good, something about the tones just soothe the soul. lol
Agree with you there Minelab tones are soothing
