Thank you john

[@matthewwatters5870]

Yeah I'm quick when swing and walking most days but I only do that at first just to get the obvious out the way the start just taking long swings slowly with nearly full length and cover as much as possible as my mate does as you describe and always criticising my swing when I literally had my extension break so I can understand why it seems cheeky to say

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

The key is to find the happy medium, Ive seen some people detect like trains but still find things, its getting to that comfortable zone where you are doing everything right! Keep at it matt

Excellent videos and advice. Thank you. I’m a newbie with a Nox 800, I’ve joined a couple of local clubs and buddied up with a couple of people so I’m hoping to get out and remember all your tips and tricks! Happy digging!

Thank you Graeme for doing these video’s. I have just got my first metal detector and am building up my kit, ready for my first attempt. Great information for a starter like me. I live in Euxton Chorley Lancashire and some lovely looking fields/woods near me 😃

thanks for the comment gary, remember here at unearthed we will serve you well for all your detecting gear too being northern based!

Loving the info in these videos. Retiring in 12 months. Plenty of time for outdoor hobbies 👌🏼

[@lloydsykes1]

excellent info pal! It's something I'm intending on giving a go as I have a mate who does it largely on his own and a cousin who does it in Wales. I'm sure that in taking note of your helpful tips and them showing me the ropes, I'll be well on my way, so cheers

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Thanks chris!

[@matthewwatters5870]

That tool is a great way forward and we all have hit a good target and makes more sense as most people don't think before digging and me I prefer wide holdes for deep targets and small her holes for small targets or any target that sounds iffy and always double check my pin pointing before digging and mostly use me hands so to damage stuff as hand are better than tools

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Well done matt

I've not started yet but a new found friend has loaned me his Garrett AT pro international with the possibility of buying it and he advised me to go down the beach as I don't need permission just to start with, is this right? And just to say some great advice and I can't wait to see your next video

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Personally i would avoid the AT PRO

[@philipedwardcaddick4294]

May I ask why ?

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Hi phil, yes the AT part means all terrain which they are clearly not, but ok in land and fields

[@HistoryUnearthed-md]

Excellent video Graeme, top advice. I like the plastic nails idea for holding down your ground sheet.

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

[@matthewwatters5870]

Always try not be messy but sometimes it's never easy like park areas it's always easy to dig clean fields here I've noticed just fall apart most days

@@matthewwatters5870 very true!

[@roberthall8473]

You are quite right Graeme, I was on a dig last Saturday and when I was eating my lunch I was watching other members from the shelter of my car, I was amazed by how many of them walk around swinging their coils 5 to 6 inches above the ground at a walking speed more suitable for trying to catch a bus. Keep up the good work.

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Its a difficult task changing the mindset of people as they are comfortable in searching that way but they would find a lot more by lowering the search coil a little and slowing down

[@roberthall8473]

@@unearthed-detecting-tv when I started detecting several years back I purchased a XP Deus, I was lucky enough to get a 3 hour lesson in detecting from Gary Blackwell, the emphasis was on scrubbing the grass slowly and overlapping your coil sweeps. His simple advice has always worked for me.

[@jamesrussell5490]

Brand new to the hobby, enjoyed watching your videos. Not plucked up the courage to chap a farmer door yet to ask for permission but i will Soon.lots of good tips on your videos. I have a garrett ace 300i Dont see many or should i say any on your digs??? Is it too much of a novice machine. I did watch the video when you were saying not to brake the bank So thats my starter have tried it out on the beach and waste land.(i did take on board what you said about all land belongs to someone but that was before watching your videos) cheers

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Good luck James, and no the garrett are not all rounders, they are hopeless on the beaches unfortunately sir

Hi james, the minelab vanquish 440 is now our best seller, works extremely well on all terrain including the wet sand

That sounds a good tool to use against nighthakwers, ive just ordered 3

[@_rumple_5199]

Nice video overall; unfortunately, for Texas in the US, that type of plastic digging tool is useless. We have thick, clay gumbo-type soil that bakes as hard as a rock in summer. That tool would last less than a minute, but I understand you want to negate the damage from 'normal' digging and lesche tools destroying coins and relics.

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Thanks for watching, yes we dont detect out in the states!

[@thegallowsdetectorists666]

I’ve found that the landowners I deal with have an increased interest in their land when they see the things that are found. Many don’t have any idea that they have been walking/driving their tractor over such amazing finds. It’s lovely to be able to show them at the end of the day. Good informative video 👌

Thanks for the beginners guide, exactly what I have needed. Please keep going with them. I have been trying to watch you tube videos to learn and understand the process of detecting and many of them have left me despondent at the things things that occur, the mess that is made and worse still for me as a farm worker in my youth is the total disrespect for the land, leaving me wondering if I even wanted to continue.
