Metal detecting on the west coast of Scotland finding lots of coins & 24k gold pendant

- I've always enjoyed metal detecting ever since l bought my first white's classic 20+ years ago.
Today I still enjoy metal detecting like the first day I started, I quite often head on to the foreshore, local beaches and a regular at our local detecting club.
what I like is the dual purpose of the trips. You have fun finding cool stuff and make some cash from it but also you keep all the junk you find in a junk bag to dispose of later so you clean up our beaches - good work man!
wow although I hae been to Scotland ,and loved it,i never got a chance to metal detect,in California you won't find much old stuff like you find,mostly junk and cell phones coins but not much antiques or interesting things from the past.my grandmother lived in neilston my uncles in Johnston. we visited ever three years or so when I was a boy,we used to go to aberdaur and Glasgow and Edinburgh I loved Scotland and I haven't been back since the eighties.i am sure its changed a lot.but I wont ever forget the old one.and hope to return in the future.thank you great video jimmy.
Well done Donald, great selection of coins etc and very nice pendant. GL&HH 👍
Oldblue110 Thanks for watching, the pendant was one of my favourite finds of that your, definitely a keeper. I always seem to do well on the beach with coins & unusual finds.

+freds e-trac Thanks Fred, l like finding unusual objects
At least your cleaning the beach up good 4u
Nice finds Donald loads of coins ! You ever tried along south Queensferry beach ? I’ve just started the hobby and been out three times at beach and found old bolts and Swiss Army knife and pound coin haha .... hoping to get down today getting the buzz watching your fab finds .. well done 👍
Hi Alice, I've never been there but know of others that have and they have done pretty well there.
Nice beach to hunt. Congrats on coins and gold. Subbed for more. Greetings and happy hunting.
Nice one Donald, i enjoyed that!
Congratulations on your gold :-)
Thanks, it's not often that I find gold but this area has produced the most gold for me.
Thanks for commenting.

Nice going Donald, good to see you out detecting.
what metal detector you use?
I use the Xp Deus, it's simple to use and light weight, l can detect for hours without getting tired or having a sore arm.
Nicely done video! Your voice is very soothing.
thanks ive been known to have a calming effect on some people.
Superticious or what Donald? but you probably did right; I don't think I'd be comfortable with an artifact like that either. Absolutely beautiful pendant that.
Thanks Gerry, yeah I'm a very superstitious person, I'm glad that I gave that ring back to the sea.
Thanks for commenting & good luck

£15 an hour is a good rate! Super video.
Edi is east
Donald is It Cardross Over Dumbarton way ?
I often do Cardross and Dumbarton areas
Do you detect all areas of the beach, from the water up?
I always detect the dry sand first just until the tide has gone out. Most of my best finds ever have been found in the dry sand

Is there need to get an expensive metal detector? Most people seem to only find things within a few inches of the top with anything i've seen, no doubt the higher end are more accurate etc but will a 50/100 MD be okay? Mainly would be sand probably so would be easier than a thick mud field.
that case Boyne viaduct is the town of drogheda Ireland were I live the mother well company construction on it nice find
redrum0519 hanks for the info. I never found out if it was a card or cigarette case
Donald Morrison I'll try find out some details next time I'm in are local museum there some information on the viaduct but that's the first I've ever seen of what you found simply great
Donald, it's a matchbook holder! ;)
@@donald_morrison Loved the video. I was an apprentice draughtsman with the "Motherwell Bridge and Eng. Co" way back in the sixties, NOT going to mention Edinburgh is on the East Coast 'çause I have days like that too. Cheers
Be honest when you found the cigarette/card box, you thought you stuck gold? 😆
Not really l tend to find a lot of brass and copper items
Great video
Thanks Rob, I've subbed your Chanel back
I lost my dignity on that beach in 1981. Don't suppose you found it?
Tried beaches a few times, never have any luck
Angels Arehere I've done land, beaches and foreshore but the beaches have to be my favourite. I always seem to go for the dry sand as l find more valuable items such as the diamond ring that l sold a while ago that no one claimed for £2500
I have been detected for 25 years y don't I find 15 to 17th century finds what's going on

It's quite difficult detecting over pavements especially digging them up when you get a signal
Keep at it, you will eventually strike it lucky.
Hi Sir,
Quick question ...
are you using a Deus detector only or do you own a few?
Any chance to get some reviews?
Or recommend a cheaper alternative for a beginner.
PS love the vids
many thanks

Kads R I use the XP Deus for the beach, I own a few machines and always found this to be one of the best for the beaches.
I often see other detectorists on the beach and compare finds.
With guys that use Garrett detectors they rend to dig a lot more holes, and find more iron, where as l did not find any nails unless they where copper.
You seem to have a faster recovery speed with the XP Deus compared to a Garrett, but everyone us used to their own machine, best tip is to buy a better machine even if it is second hand.

thank you for the reply
very informative
yeah it looks like a nice hobby! I'm curious. What are you doing with all that stuff you finding? selling or keeping? After some time it will be a lot of stuff to keep. Good luck!
Martin Hagalen I seem to hoard most items, l have a few displays with my best finds, I only get rid of scrap items such as lead.

Hi donald im looking to start metal detecting could you recccomend a metal detector that you can use on the beach and on dry land ?ive heard that not all metal detectors are salt resistant.im looking to spend aporox £250 on one.thanks for your help.scott
Scott Lakey
Hi Scott, I quite often see people with Garrets on the beach and they seem to do pretty well have a check out what the price the AT Pro is I’m sure you can pick up a second hand one for that price or less.
I tend to use the Xp Deus as it’s light weigh and you can detect for hours without a sore arm. With the Xp Deus you can knock out a lot of iron picking up better targets.
In the summer months l used to hit £80 in a few hours on one of my local beaches. Good luck 😉
Hi Donald. R u still detecting things ?
Hi Jhon, yes I'm still detecting, just not been uploading any videos in ages.
hi donald do you still have the dutch seal i am interested in the number on the reverse
that wasn't a game that was a calculator
hey donald how do you find the deus on the beach does it work well ?.
That ring you found says allah means god in arabic
nice video my friend do you ever look for sea glass? GL HH
Kevin Solomon I see so much sea glass but l don't pick it up, I seem to pick up odd bits of China & vulcanite bottle stoppers as l have a buyer for them, easy money at £1 a pop.
Thanks for viewing
that porty beach pal?
West coast ???
Daves Reality east
British writing from a Scotsman...odd! Whatever “British “ writing is or isn’t it’s the alphabet used in English is based on Arabic no?
arab rings are worth thousands
Lol it’s wasn’t even made of a valuable metal you don’t know what your looking at
Allah 🙏
its arebic
And them £1 coins are worth nothing now
This is Arabic elaha In English God
Allah = GOD =الله in arabic , why u think its bad luch ? GOD is all luck man
its allahu( allahu)
الله
Name of the god “allah”
