Hey Tom, great finds with your rings! good for you! that tot lot is awesome, really nice things there, it's spotless. Beautiful day. Take care. Glad to see Christine with your wrap up.
Another cool hunt Bill, the rings are awesome... Good to see your probing skills are improving.. You will be ready for the next hunt in Vegas... Thanks for sharing the adventure..
2 silver rings, nice finds along with a bit of pocket change. Good hunts. Yesterday found a small silver pendant, really enjoy the scoop attached to the ol broom handle in the sand. Those parks way too much up snd down.
Thanks. I never thought I would use a probe now I have been using more than the hand shovel. I really like it for shallow targets. Was nice to get not one but two silver rings
Nice hunt with the Manticore Bill, Sorry to see that they are putting rubber in the Tot lots. Always nice to see Christine in the wrap ups, but no car in this episode, so Christine did not have to do her Famous car noise. Keep up the great work on metal detecting in the parks and beaches Yeah :)
Thanks...finally getting some use out of it. The probing is getting much easier and is def a good tool to know how to use. I never thought I would use a probe
Thanks... see what happens when I say I am going to slow down...lol. I figured I would get some good practice in so I am good at it then I can decide to dig or probe...
Nice little hunt/s Bill. Love the bling heart and the silver rings in the first one. Good on you for cleaning up in the 2nd. Rest well, Christine. May cupcakes bless you on the other side. 😀 🧁
Yes, always willing to try new stuff... Thanks to my meet up in Las Vegas I now have a probe.... Now if I could figure out a way for the gold to rise to the surface upon command...lol
If your probe had a huck karved into the side near the tip this would create a hucking action so as you pull out the probe it will huck into any tiny object's. Like the tooth on a chainsaw is the shape.
88 that is probably a quarter. And it was. The Equinox 700 and 900 and the Manticore share most of the same VDI numbers. Will be interesting watch you hunt with the Manticore just to see your learning curve. Interesting watch how you do with a probe.
Totally agree... they are all over the place (numbers) and literally drive me crazy. I am surprised how easy it is to probe. But I will say, only for shallow targets
good morning to both of you. Nice hunt, congrats for the silver rings. I couldn't help noticing a metal detector on a working bench. Having issues with it? If so let me know, i have been fixing anything electronics over the last 35 years. Cheers!
Thanks... No, it is fine. It is our other Nox. I am making sure I have all the accessories for it. After the move, everything is spread out. But thanks for the offer
I know... looked like jewelry at first. I agree.... both have their place... probing is quick and easy for super shallow targets but a shovel is a must in some cases.
Cities now are making more parks and schools and Big Toys wheelchair accessible because of ADA. This includes; using rubber playgrounds, ramps, and wider play areas. Someday, sand and bark will all be replaced with rubberized play areas. It's sad the parks get so dirty with junk, but it's almost all recyclable.
That totally makes sense... Most of the parks I visit don't change out the rides but just add the rubber... This was a total redo and they did a great job... As much as I like hunting tot lots, I have to agree with the change.
Who ever left those plugs like that they did a terrible job and need to be educated on how to properly dig a plug and take an effort to make it appear that no one had disturbed the grass!
And I have Even went as far as stopping my detecting and start to finish up the hole that the other people that are careless about and taking water 💦 and filled the patch and washed the dirt back to the hole... But people like that are opportunitist and Or Midnighters and do their work when the Park is still closed and hurts everyone else but then it shortened up my day to finish up the hole for them and If I don't try to get the hole back to some sort of decency but I can't spend all day fixing them and usually then the Signs will be going up to tell you that there's no more metal detecting allowed here and Or no shovels and probe only and holes like that are possibly from someone else that doesn't have a Pinpointer and I have a few friends that would dig holes like that until they watched me with the Pinpointer and They now have Pinpointers and the holes are ALOT smaller now and They would tell me that there's no need to get a Pinpointer and I would be done with my hole and going to the next target and their still looking for the target and I would stop by and point it out for them and they would still say that they didn't have a need for it but Now they have a Pinpointer and say that they should of bought it years ago....... and he usually follows about everything that I have bought like the Simplex and I'm hoping to get the X-Terra Pro and really blow him away when I get behind him Detecting and hit a target that the Simplex + didn't see And the races are on again for sure and for him to catch up......
@@carolrice2063 I agree... a few may very well spoil it for the masses if the continue to do more damage to the parks.... nice that you try to fix them. I don't even like it when people don't fill the holes in the sand...someone is going to get hurt and then they will put up signs at the beach as well....
@@DigginSoCal and I would love a Sand Dig, compared to the grass but I'm nowhere close to any ocean and it will be fine with the dirt and I would be like A fish out of water, out of my element, but love watching you and Cupcake Christine......

Another cool hunt Bill, the rings are awesome... Good to see your probing skills are improving.. You will be ready for the next hunt in Vegas... Thanks for sharing the adventure..
Thanks...yes, I am ready to come back.... getting the probing down
2 silver rings, nice finds along with a bit of pocket change. Good hunts. Yesterday found a small silver pendant, really enjoy the scoop attached to the ol broom handle in the sand. Those parks way too much up snd down.
Thanks... always nice to get a lil silver... Beaches with a scoop are def much easier
Hi Bill it's nice to see you incorporating probing in your digs and your very good at it.Congrats. on the silver.
Thanks. I never thought I would use a probe now I have been using more than the hand shovel. I really like it for shallow targets. Was nice to get not one but two silver rings
Good leason on the probing. Gotta walk before you run, and you look to already be running with it. 🎉🎉 Congrats on the silver rings!
Thanks...I was reluctant at first but am really liking the using of a probe...
your killing it! Congrats on the Silver and up next Gold!
Thanks... Oh yes, the two rings were awesome... gold is in the future
Wow that's nice silver!!! Keep diggin SoCal 🧁
Thanks Julie... awesome getting silver
Nice hunt with the Manticore Bill, Sorry to see that they are putting rubber in the Tot lots. Always nice to see Christine in the wrap ups, but no car in this episode, so Christine did not have to do her Famous car noise. Keep up the great work on metal detecting in the parks and beaches Yeah :)
Thanks.. The Manticore did a good job. I can't complain about the rubber I guess... it is better for the kids. Yeah, need to find more toys
Nice hunt Bill, Ringadingding great rings, that parks a giver, 👍😎
Thanks... it was a nice day finding some cool stuff...
Nice Hunt Bill, beautiful silver rings! See you next time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Susan... I was thrilled to get some silver...
Great video and hunt 👍. Congrats on the silver rings and very nice clad count Cha-Ching. Really enjoyed the video thanks. G.
Thanks... always nice to get a lil silver... I like the round stuff too... money money money
Love the sounds from the Manticore
Yes, much easier to listen to than some detectors...
Hello bill! Good-morning! Let’s go to find things and Diggin’! Let’s go see find what they’d have in the ground treasure hunt!
Thanks... not a bad day with 2 silvers... now to the beach
Good morning Bill! Nice little hunt with the manticore
Thanks Nora... nice to finally use it
Great hunt with the manticore Bill. Using that probe seems to work very well it just takes a little practice it looks like. Thanks for sharing
Thanks...finally getting some use out of it. The probing is getting much easier and is def a good tool to know how to use. I never thought I would use a probe
Keep having fun! Enjoy your weekend.
Great hunt Bill thanks for sharing
My pleasure Alicia... thanks for your support
What a surprise! A bonus video. You are pretty handy with that probe, Bill. Getting the knack myself, but still like my split tip Hori-Hori best.
Thanks... see what happens when I say I am going to slow down...lol. I figured I would get some good practice in so I am good at it then I can decide to dig or probe...
Nice little hunt/s Bill. Love the bling heart and the silver rings in the first one. Good on you for cleaning up in the 2nd. Rest well, Christine. May cupcakes bless you on the other side. 😀 🧁
Thanks... was a fun set of hunts... I can't believe how much trash I removed. Did not realize it until I cleaned out my finds.
@@DigginSoCal I wonder how many pounds of scrap metal junk you remove from the environment over the course of a year? ☺
Christine knows who Johnny Mathis is ?? That is awesome !! Love it !❤
Congrats on the silver rings. got some clad and had fun. Happy Hunting . Peace
Thanks... I feel better but it will take gold to quiet you know who...lol
Great hunt! Love the butterfly ring!
Thanks...yes, it is really nice
Nice finds!
Thank you
Awesome video Bill, thanks
Thank you
@@DigginSoCal you’re welcome 😇
Great hunt love the probe idea
Thanks... it is def working on the shallow targets... anything deeper than an inch can be frustrating trying to probe...
Nice hunt. Christine needs lots of rest. So you can be bushy eye ready.
Thanks... totally agree... I ran out and got her bundt cakes (aka cupcakes) today while she slept. I am sure she will be surprised
Good morning
Have fun
Thanks...good day
Congrats on the silver rings! My probe skills are still pretty sad…I mostly use my park probe to shank the bottom of plugs and sidewalls.
Thanks... awesome finds... practice and it will get better.
Good hunt. I see you have incorporated probing into your toolbox.
Yes, always willing to try new stuff... Thanks to my meet up in Las Vegas I now have a probe.... Now if I could figure out a way for the gold to rise to the surface upon command...lol
Every time you poke that probe in the ground you’re aerating the lawn. 😇
I should be getting paid then...lol
Congrats on the 2 silver rings!
Thank you Jane
Congrats on the Silver Bill 👏
Thanks Michael
“Mistys” a classic fer sure Christine, however my personal favorite is “Chances are” give it a spin.💪🏻
Nice little hunt
Thank you Cary
SKILVA!!!! Nice
LOL... thanks
If your probe had a huck karved into the side near the tip this would create a hucking action so as you pull out the probe it will huck into any tiny object's. Like the tooth on a chainsaw is the shape.
Good info.... that would be a great plus. I am still struggling getting a coin up after finding it.
nice jewelry finds👍
Thanks... not too bad... nice to two silver rings...
@@DigginSoCal Absolutely
I agree probing works good for shallow targets but not so good where the silvers are 4 plus inches deep!
Correct. If I was in an older park and hunting for silver, then the probe would stay in the bag for sure
congrats on the silver rings. go for the gold!!!
Thank you for another great video. Just might have to try probing sometime.
88 that is probably a quarter. And it was. The Equinox 700 and 900 and the Manticore share most of the same VDI numbers. Will be interesting watch you hunt with the Manticore just to see your learning curve. Interesting watch how you do with a probe.
I am def getting better with both the Manticore and the probing... I do actually like using the probe
Cool finds
Thanks Michael
Nice hunt ❤️👍👍
Thank you
Congrats on the silver
Thanks Gary
Morning Bill. Hopefully redemption is found! ❤️😃
I am really trying.... lol
Argh, the pressure is real to avenge Christine’s Gold find.
There should be cupcakes every day until gold is discovered 😂
I know... so much pressure... I went and got the bundt cakes for her today while she slept....so she should be in a glorious mood....lol
I may have to practice with a probe! We have a park nearby that doesn't allow digging.
Go for it. I actually am starting to dig the probe...lol, see what I did there...
Those star bottle caps are plentiful in my area. They are my nemesis!
Great hunt but I prefer sand in those play areas and I bet you do, too. 😊 Too bad that the new play area is already being vandalized.
Sand is probably the easiest material to work with.... I can't believe someone cut all those off...crazy
Thanks for vid.
Silver and gold decorations on every Manticore tree.
Oh yeah... lol
looking at the equinox 700. or Xterra pro. probably gonna lean to the 700. want a beach detector. soon. have a good day
I can only say, I love my 800... the NOX is by far my favorite detector... good luck
The manticore looks good except for the pull tab issue. Nice rings. I may try doing probing instead of digging and see how it goes.
Totally agree... they are all over the place (numbers) and literally drive me crazy. I am surprised how easy it is to probe. But I will say, only for shallow targets
@@DigginSoCal unfortunately we look for old deep targets most of the time.
good morning to both of you. Nice hunt, congrats for the silver rings. I couldn't help noticing a metal detector on a working bench. Having issues with it? If so let me know, i have been fixing anything electronics over the last 35 years. Cheers!
Thanks... No, it is fine. It is our other Nox. I am making sure I have all the accessories for it. After the move, everything is spread out. But thanks for the offer
Nice hunting Bill
Nice try 😅😊
Love bless ❤
Thanks... I will defeat her
Hola amigos, les deseo un lindo día, saludos cordiales desde chile para usted compañero, un abrazo🇨🇱🙋♂️🙏👍👏🤝⛏️🗝️💍
Thank you very much... good luck on your hunts
Hate those fancy bottle caps. I think probing has its place, but if you dig nice holes they repair very quickly
I know... looked like jewelry at first. I agree.... both have their place... probing is quick and easy for super shallow targets but a shovel is a must in some cases.
Hello Bill and Christine
Hi Gregory
Cities now are making more parks and schools and Big Toys wheelchair accessible because of ADA. This includes; using rubber playgrounds, ramps, and wider play areas. Someday, sand and bark will all be replaced with rubberized play areas. It's sad the parks get so dirty with junk, but it's almost all recyclable.
That totally makes sense... Most of the parks I visit don't change out the rides but just add the rubber... This was a total redo and they did a great job... As much as I like hunting tot lots, I have to agree with the change.
Still like old school play ground but that’s a nice one
I agree...nothing better than an old style metal mary-go-round...
They did the same thing to our playground and tot lot 😢
I think about 5 so far around me have converted... it is only a matter of time
Who ever left those plugs like that they did a terrible job and need to be educated on how to properly dig a plug and take an effort to make it appear that no one had disturbed the grass!
Yes, I see no reason to bring a large shovel to a local park....
Whoop whoop
And I have Even went as far as stopping my detecting and start to finish up the hole that the other people that are careless about and taking water 💦 and filled the patch and washed the dirt back to the hole... But people like that are opportunitist and Or Midnighters and do their work when the Park is still closed and hurts everyone else but then it shortened up my day to finish up the hole for them and If I don't try to get the hole back to some sort of decency but I can't spend all day fixing them and usually then the Signs will be going up to tell you that there's no more metal detecting allowed here and Or no shovels and probe only and holes like that are possibly from someone else that doesn't have a Pinpointer and I have a few friends that would dig holes like that until they watched me with the Pinpointer and They now have Pinpointers and the holes are ALOT smaller now and They would tell me that there's no need to get a Pinpointer and I would be done with my hole and going to the next target and their still looking for the target and I would stop by and point it out for them and they would still say that they didn't have a need for it but Now they have a Pinpointer and say that they should of bought it years ago....... and he usually follows about everything that I have bought like the Simplex and I'm hoping to get the X-Terra Pro and really blow him away when I get behind him Detecting and hit a target that the Simplex + didn't see And the races are on again for sure and for him to catch up......

Don’t like the probe
That was my opinion before I tried. It has it's place but not for everyone
