💥💥Keeping the coil flat: I call this, “sweeping the carpet.” This is the most important metal detecting technique there is. No matter what machine you have, keep that coil as close to the ground as you can at all times. Let's make it simple. Take your metal detector into the house and put your coil on the carpet. Don't lift your coil at all. Just sweep it from side to side without lifting it off of the carpet. You're not lifting, you're sweeping across the carpet. This is how close to the ground you want to be in a perfect world. But, the world of detecting is not so perfect. Keep your coil as close to the ground as you can at all times. Practice this. Get it right.

I've probably mentioned this in at least 4 videos. It's crucial! Thanks for watching.

Great tips, thanks for sharing! I would also have a spare battery just in case I loose power in the middle of my detector outing.

[@freedomdiggersmetaldetecti8964]

Yes! Great advice if you're running a non-rechargeable machine.

Yeah, been detecting for a few months, lots of trash. Finds container, I use an old prescription bottle and remove the child safety on it. My best find so far is an 1884 dime.
