- I had an absolutely EPIC metal detecting trip in Croatia! My friends Aaron, Nikki and Geoff were with me and between us we found 13 GOLD RINGS, a GOLD MEDALLION, 3 SILVER RINGS, A SILVER CHAIN, 150 EUROS and MORE! Did I mention that 4 of these rings had DIAMONDS!
Check Out Geoff's Channel cromwell13649: / @cromwell13649
Also check out my friend sdesic's channel for more water detecting goodness!:
/ @sdesic
though I had some problem with sea water It also ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
I CAUGHT myself falling asleep watching this maybe the sound of the bubbles, soothing
Alameda Jon umm that might of been him farting slowy
Well done! Glad you were well received in Croatia
Absolutely Epic..
That was a fun video to watch. Great finds .
Congrats on all the gold & Silver

~ Rob
Thanks Robert! On most days Geoff and I had 75 to 100 feet of visibility underwater!
That's some clear water. I just could not get over the clarity and how calm it is. I just moved to the East Coast of Florida this May 2016 and love it, but our waters here are not that calm.
That is one awesome trip guys! Next time, bring me! :-D
Great hunt and video. Cheers from Miami

I know you are Craig . Your a genuine fella Can´t wait to see you again ,
great thesure.work. congratulaciones.
Thanks again Rodrigo!
awesome!
Thanks!
I'm an American living in Germany and I'm a detectorist also. Never tried anything underwater yet, but would like to. So far I have to be content digging up Nazi silver and gold coins... :( Bob in Germany
If you're a SCUBA Diver, you're more than welcome to go underwater with me!
Awesome
Thanks for supporting my channel Melissa! GL and HH!
I wanted there next year to go on holiday ... but if it is your Teritorium looking I continue ..... Good hunt wish you all the best
Same to you my friend!
Great video...would have love to see the gold contents listed at the end with the ring stills. Unusual problem to have since we don't find 13 gold rings in one hunt often but I was trying to match up which rings were which at the end. Thanks for posting...I subscribed and liked.
That's a great idea! I'll do that from now on! Thanks for watching!
Hi Craig, thank you for mentioning me on your video, i really appreciate it and it was such a pleasure to meet you.
Regards, Slobodan.
I'm glad you saw it and even more glad to have met you in person! I'm coming back to Croatia over New Years and in June and September. Hope to see you again! GL and HH!
GOOD VIDEO AND GREAT FINDS. I'M LOOKING FOR A NEW SCOOP. WHERE DID YOU PURCHASE YOURS AND DID THE HANDLE COME WITH IT? THANKS, DIGGER DAWG
Harold: Mine is a Sunspot 720i and the handle comes with it! Thanks for watching!
that water looks amazing
Visibility was 75' to 100' !!!!!
Now that was an amazing holiday by the looks of it congratulations to all of you, and to you mr Geoff mellard I hope this was a lesson to you to kick off your training wheels and get rid of those antique and out of date Garrett detectors and get yourself a real one like a minelab (look at the stuff you find with them lol) like I've been asking you to do for years lol
Geoff's on training wheels! LMAO! GL and HH to you!
American Digger In Europe you have to say to him that single frequency machines are a thing of the past lol like I said to him "just because we are digging up antiques doesn't mean that we have to use one to find them" hahahahahaha
Now THAT is HILARIOUS!!!!!
Did u find any with the engraving 12 July 1957 by any chance
No we didn't...what did you lose and where did you lose it? Maybe we can help you find it!
at 10:58 thru 11:00 you passed 3 signals, you're moving too fast, you're making missed triangles in your sweeps. Good vid clear water.
I played that back a few times. All I heard is electrical interference from my GoPro. I could have missed something though. Thanks for watching and commenting! GL and HH!
Omggggg I have to go back to Croatia
What an Amazing Video, excellent finds! We already have our tickets booked, can't wait for Summer 2017! I have a CTX and am from an Island near Zadar. I'm curious, what gloves are you using? Also are you using a chest mount for your Go-Pro? Do you replace the gaskets on your CTX often to make sure you keep the water out? Thanks for your help!
I've been to Zadar many times over the past 20 years! Which island are you from? My wife is from Otok Murter which isn't far from Zadar!I'm wearing 3mm neoprene diving gloves and mounted my GoPro on the bill of my baseball cap. I changed the gasket in my CTX 3030 to a much thicker one and I highly recommend that you change yours too, especially if you're MDing in the water! I switched mine out over a year ago and I still have a tight seal. Just make sure that after every hunt, you clean the gasket so that it maintains its integrity!Thanks for watching and if you need anymore advice, just ask! GL and HH!Craig
Thanks for the tips Craig! I'm from the Island of Ugljan, I haven't been there since 2010 and started detecting in 2011 so I've never detected there. I've beach hunted before, but only submerged my machine a few times, however I'm planning on being in the water there a lot. I have a 9' T-Rex stainless steel scoop that I may bring with me, haven't decided for sure yet. Do you use the scoop much in the water or just fan the sand? What tether are you using for your pin pointer, anything special or just a plain old piece of rope? When you get out in the early hours, is the water temperature warm enough, or would you put on some light gear on? Sorry for all the questions, thanks again!
Eddie
Eddie,Make sure you get WATERPROOF headphones for your CTX if you're going to detect in the sea. One slip in the water and the regular CTX headphones and most importantly, your audio sending unit are done!When I'm beach and shallow water detecting, I always use my scoop. I fan only while SCUBA detecting. As far as securing my pinpointer, I use a pistol lanyard. They're very cheap, but "bombproof". Early in the morning, even in August the water in the Adriatic is still cold. I always wear a shorty 2.5 mm wetsuit! This past August, after the bura was past, the water was so cold I needed a 5mm wetsuit to stay in the water more than 20 minutes!Anything I can do to help!Craig
Awesome, thanks for all the great advice! I actually have Grey Ghost Underwater headphones. What heaphones are you using for the water, the yellow Minelab ones? I'm definitely picking up the lanyard you mentioned for my waterproof Garrett pin pointer. Where did you pick up those new upgraded seals for the CTX? Also what scoop are you using, is it around 3lbs in weight? By the way, I also have the 6" coil and I see you use it in some of your vids. It's a lot easier to swing the 6 vs the 11 right? Should I bring both coils with me? Thx bud
I have Grey Ghosts and the yellow Minelab headphones for the CTX. I'll have to get back to you on where I bought the seals.
My scoop is a Stealth 720i and I prefer it over some other scoops because it has a pointed tip, which really helps picking out targets that are stuck between big beach rocks.
Bring both coils with you! You'll probably need them!
I like Your vids! Do you need some kind of permit to bring or use a detector in Croatia?
The only restrictions are in landmine contaminated areas, archeological sites or on private property. (Permission needed)
Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! GL and HH!
What do you do with your gold rings? I have not been detecting in years, but I have 7 gold rings, some with stones. Do you sell them for scrap or would a jeweler buy them for more then they are worth in the weight of gold? Nice finds!!
Thanks for your kind words! To answer your question, I don't sell any rings that I find because I return rings to the rightful owners if I can.
Take Care and thanks for your support!
Craig
great video new subscriber here. gl and hh 👍
Thanks for subbing my channel Historical Magpie! GL and HH to you too my friend!
Nice vids! This is Slanica beach on island Murter...
Yes it is!
@@AmericanDiggerInEurope did you try in Kosirina bay on Murter? A lot of yachts during summer is there on anchorage.
@@razinari My wife and I have a house on Otok Murter. I've hit everywhere on that island! We love it!
@@AmericanDiggerInEurope Yes, it is beautiful there! We (I and my wife) are almost every day in summertime, ussualy on Kosirina beach and also on Podraduč....houses south of Slanica...
@@razinari Do you live in Murter?
WOW!
THAT'S AWESOME!
I THINK I CAN SAY THAT, THAT WAS THE BEST HUNT I'VE EVER SEEN!
YOU TOTALLY ROCKED IT DUDE! 👍💎💍
Thanks Jerry! It was the hunt of our lives!
hello, is garret at pro useful for the search for underwater in croatia??? I mean depht signal... or you recommend garret sea hunter mark II... or you recommend any metal detector? Minelab is for me too expensive now. thanks
The AT Pro is ok for beach hunting, but in salt water it has problems with false signals. If you're looking to metal detect in the sea and at any depth past waist deep, I recommend the Sea Hunter MK II. You'll get good depth and almost no false signals. (BTW: I used an AT Pro and a Sea Hunter MKII before switching to Minelab.)
thank for answer , how much is deeper sea hunter MKII than excalibur II? you can use discriminate on sea hunter MKII or you have on 0(zero)
The Excalibur II is superior over the Sea Hunter MK II in all aspects including target depth and discrimination. I still have a Sea Hunter MK II that I use as a back-up. I don't discriminate anything when using the MK II because it is too easy to walk right over and miss gold if you do. So yes, ZERO! If I were you, I'd save my money and get an Excalibur II. You won't regret it!
Thank you, but I have a question, Is too much iron target near the beach in depth seawater max 2m in croatia? Is here usable MKII on Disc 0??? I will have too much false sound (mean little iron rust,corrosion iron..) Have you any experience with croatian sea?
I lived in Croatia for 12 years and my wife is Croatian. I metal detect the Croatian Coast all year round. The MK II set on zero discrimination is the way I always set my machine. If you don't, you have a chance of missing gold.
is your metal detector special for water? or is it just a regular one for land
My CTX 3030 is both for land and shallow water. The Excalibur II (the one I use for SCUBA) is primarily for water. GL and HH!
thanks for the reply very cool vid
Fantastis
Thanks Dago!
Great video and finds but it would be nice if you could show a little of the trash targets you dig there. But lets face it nothing beats finding a gold ring on a hunt.
GL&HH form The Great White North
The one trash target that I kept in this video was the twisted, torn up aluminum can at the beginning of the vid @ 2:31. Most of my viewers aren't interested in seeing all the trash we removed, but I assure you, it was a substantial amount! Thanks for watching and GL and HH to you too my friend! Craig
Glad to hear Craig
Happy Holidays
chris anderson Same to you Chris!
Had to look at this again . What Memories . I will be again in Croatia on Oct 1st for 1 week . Contact me if you can make it.
Geoff
Hey Geoff! Guess what? I pulled 2 more gold rings and 3 silvers out of a lake this morning! I thought of you right away!
Bloody hell Craig Your going to be a Millionaire soon Well done my man .
Can I ask what part of Croatia you visited? I was in and around Split last year and it was fantastic! Have you experienced any issues detecting there? Appreciate any insight or lessons learned!
I was north of Split, in the area around Sibenik. I lived in Croatia for 12
years and my wife is Croatian. I've had no adverse experiences there, except
two buttheads that thought they knew Croatian law regarding metal detecting,
but I put both of them in their place!
If you do SCUBA detecting there, you need to purchase a license to dive. If
you get caught without one, the police will seize ALL of your equipment and
you WILL go to jail and be fined up to 10,000 EURO!
If you have any other questions, just ask! GL and HH!
Thank you so much for the info; much appreciated! I've visited 40 countries over the past 15 years and always like to get all the info about rules, laws, safety etc. prior. I'm also a professional salvage diver working historic shipwrecks off the East coast; nothing I'd rather be doing!
Thanks again!
Mike
***** You have an awesome job! Let me know when and if you hit Croatia. I'll be diving there around New Years!
Thanks! I've got a book coming out soon on my experiences over the past 9 years; been incredibly lucky a few times.
i'm scheduled to be in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia in April; too cold! It would be great to link up in Croatia with you sometime! I can share my personal email if you would like to "talk" more.
***** Contact me at americandiggerineurope@gmail.com
i like the logo at the bottom right.
I was in B-2-10 and A-2-11 for 18 years.
I've hunted at night many times and you think you found a silver ring and you carry it around all night just to find later it's obviously gold. Maybe it's just me but the darkness and headlight plays tricks on the eyes.
That is very true John! Thanks for watching!
Wow, GREAT hunt. Good dive and some AWESOME finds. It's been so long since I've been diving but I would love to get back into it and do what you guys are doing. I felt like I was back diving again watching you. That was fun, let's do it again. That was a beautiful dive and some very nice finds. How long have you lived overseas? Geoff seems like a good guy. I enjoy his channel and I enjoy your channel also. Keep safe and keep sending the good videos.
I've lived in Croatia and Germany since 1994. Geoff is a really great guy! He has a big heart. Thanks for watching and commenting!
what machines are u using. thanks
I'm using the Excalibur II, Nikki is using the CTX 3030, Aaron is using the Sea Hunter MK II and Geoff is using the Sea Hunter MK II and the AT Pro in this video.
How deep did you go. The ctx only is rated for 10 feet of water....
I was 15 feet max and was using the Minelab Excalibur II, not the CTX 3030.
thanks..love the vids!
Really need to check your sound feeds music comes through and underwater sounds also him ever ALL you out of water verbal speach, could hardly hear? Great video and fantastic finds...!
Thanks for watching! GL and HH!
could you tell us how much you sold them all for?
I don't sell any of my finds, although my wife would probably want me to! LOL!
Like!!!
Thanks rusiksea! GL and HH!
LOL your using a beach shaft diving must be a pain that way shaft is too long
Actually I like it BETTER than the dive shaft! I used the dive shaft for 2 years and then decided to try a beach shaft and it works very well for me!
thats awesome i just got certified this year cant wait to detect underwater next year i live in CT water is chilly now congrats on all your cool finds H.H.
A-Aron, A-Aron, BuhLakee, BuhLakee, De Nice, De Nice...
You're the first person to get that joke! LOL!
Dont forget Principal O-Shag-Hennessy!!!
Looks like Murter Beach in Croatia.....
That it is!
I am looking to fly over to the UK for some metal detecting would love to join you?...
That would be awesome, but I'm in Germany! LOL!
Wtf did you see the waters in UK ? Merky as hell
Вы уж извините... ;-) На протяжении всего ролика с удовольствием слушал, а не смотрел. Лохнесское чудовище на прогулке... Аж прикололо. Лайк и только лайк!
Nice finds there . Do you need to ask anyone about detecting in Croatia or can you just get down to business ? Thanks .
Hi Richard! No permission needed for public beaches. Just get down to business! LOL! GL and HH!
Lovely , might have to have a Holiday to Croatia one day :D
You owe it to yourself to visit Croatia! I lived there for 12 years and married a beautiful Croatian woman! You'll love it there Richard!
Meant Fantastic
Thanks Dago Digger!
Good job fooling us with that gorgeous lady
Its too easy to get all hyped up listening to you when you find your treasures!!
Your finds may have returned funds spent on the vacay?
Thanks Missy! The finds might not pay for the entire vacation, but they help! GL and HH!
American Digger In Europe i found my first pieces of jewelry last night!! Both not precious metal but still exciting to uncover!! I couldnt yell out my joy ( attention being bad idea)
@@missynunyabiz1389 Awesome Missy! What kind of detecting are you doing?
American Digger In Europe i live in los angeles and i have been trying out santa monica beach next to the pier for safety since i only have time at night. But im learning. Its kind of dangerous. A drunk came up to me and demanded i detect his crotch area for treasure. On one hand it was funny as hell but on the other... i also tried long ibeach but thats not a good place at all now because there are used syringes everywhere in the sand.
American Digger In Europe do you not worry about sharks? That would be my first fear with a close second being that the current causes me to turn in the wrong direction and i find myself far from shore!
What do you think about Tesoro Sand Shark? I have to figure out how to get my wife to allow me lol. I do have some really good ideas. No more than $700.00.
Willie B: I've never tested the Sand Shark. I do have a Garrett Sea Hunter MK II that cost me around $550.00 brand new from Kellyco. I had great success with it and it's a solid machine. I've since upgraded to the Minelab Excalibur II which costs around $1500.00.
Thanks brother
My pleasure!
How much it that underwater detector?
It's a Minelab Excalibur II and costs about $1500.00 US. Aaron is using a Garrett Sea Hunter MK II which costs around $600.00. But like anything else, you get what you pay for! GL and HH!
wow wanna loan me some loot! : )
Sure! LOL!
im confused how can you enter another country dig up their jewelry then just take it home
Polly, I live in Europe! I have residence in Germany and Croatia.
ziplock bags work best for electric keysbtry two bags!!!!
HAHAHA! Geoff learned that the hard way! LOL!
Me tooooo
Thanks jetbikes1! Have a great day!
Volume problem...Sorry1
Nice video but the audio sux!
Hi Donald! The audio sux because I have to put my GoPro in a water proof scuba housing. Thanks for supporting my channel!
Was that pee or sand
Sand
All this moaning my wife thought I was watching porn had to show her it wasn't hehe
Well I think this vid qualifies as metal detecting porn! LOL!
+American Digger In Europe yeah she just shook her head hahaha
All targets were planted...
I NEVER plant targets. I am a man of integrity and I don't indulge in such foolishness.
I NEVER plant targets. I am a man of integrity and I don't indulge in such foolishness. How do you like the full facemask? I was thinking about getting one to be able to make better videos.
Nah!😏🙄
you need to improve the sound quality of youe uploads ..truly this was a waste of time without subtitles
I don't doubt that you guys find anything but your video is just showing you standing in a foot of water and you just pulling out stuff out of your sand sifter you're not showing us that you actually found this stuff . I can't stand when people show people in the videos all they found all the straight and half the time they don't show how they found it
You obviously didn't watch the entire video! Thanks for commenting though Robert!
