Nice to have a teacher with you to fine tune you to your machine - as it were. Loved the arrowhead, & the dagger guard was very cool. You have so much detectable history, right beneath your feet. Thanks for the vid.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Not at all Francine thanks for watching and yes, it is nice to detect with a like minded teacher/ friend occasionally too!!! 😁

[@arthurgolddigger7336]

That was great Alexander to see Cath with you and some really nice finds 🙂 the dagger guard is just spectacular, all the best and do take care cheers Arthur

Cool thing eh Arthur, it was a new one on me! Hope all well over there and thanks as always for watching!

Thank you for your video Alex great to see Cath with you again l like the arrow head you found. Len

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I know - wasn't that cool? I would be unlikely to have dug that with the original Deus... Hope all well Len and thanks as always for watching!

Very nice finds this day. The field is very bountiful to detect. Enjoy your weekend and see you on the next! Cheers Alex! 😊

Thanks Martin and Hope you have a good one too! All the Best!

[@michele5327]

Very nice when a friend comes out to help you with new machine! Learning new machine is tough,I'm terrible w/directions too. I have to just do it and get use to machine. Lovely finds for sure. Cheers from Florida.

I usually detect alone as you know Michele but i do like being out with like minded people occasionally and Cath is good company! Hope all well with you over there!

I enjoyed that - the video and the day! That Roman coin was such a highlight - thanks for reminding me 😉

Ha! Thanks Cath - glad you liked it; we'll do it again ! Hope all well and thanbks for watching!

[@yaboyya1945]

Great interesting video Alex. Cath is a nice down to earth lady with a wealth of knowledge. Maybe it's my smutty mind but I picked up on a few non intentional 'double entendres'. My wife was walking past me and she stopped in her tracks when she heard '9 or 10 inches'. There were a few more which I won't go into, mostly because I suspect it's just my particular sense of humour.😆 Really liked the dagger guard, makes sense really. Swords had hand guards and I suppose a dagger is s small sword, of sorts.😁All the best. I appreciate all your hard work. Can't be easy.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Hi Victor... its definitely your smutty mind!!!!! 😁😂 And thanks as always for watching and the support its much appreciated! All the Best!

[@fiberotter]

I am glad she gave you some tips that will help you. That dagger guard is amazing. I had never heard of them.

Great video and well done, you two. Being the kind that just turns the machine on and swings it about, I have no idea what you were talking about regarding settings, but you sounded sufficiently technical 😂

[@steveshepherd2712]

That was neat to see you getting a second opinion on targets, you know sometimes I have dug really good items and then asked myself why did I dig that signal ? but not really been able to answer it, can only think sometimes it is sort of subconscious 🤔

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I'm sure thats right Steve... and good to know there might be other forces at play as long as they are "on side"!!!! 😁 Hope all well!

[@rossjenkins1357]

Another great video. I've been using Deus 2 for 2 years it's an unbelievable machine once you get the hang of it. If your on V1.1 it doesn't require a minus discrimination as the iron volume is the ground reader below your discrimination so get the iron volume upto 10 and disc to zero and offset to 10 in SFT it's amazing. Good luck 🍀

[@HolzHammerSagas]

It still stutters too much for me as I am so used to hearing everything Ross but i will try your settings thank you!

[@jetsdad]

Kath finding roman is priceless ❤😂😂 I went out today and still finding it challenging to define between some iron and good targets. I cannot get my head around why it still makes a signal even if you have iron colume off. If I had dug every what seemed like good signal my back would of been putty in the wet clay soil. Anyway on plus not found my first cut half ever and we saw tasci backside 😂😂. Love the dagger thingy. Speak soon.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I know - you couldn't make it up!!! 😁 Do you use it on full tones? i tried not doing so and it was terrible - thats without a screen - full tones makes the iron more obvious...

[@jetsdad]

@@HolzHammerSagas i am using the Fancy nancy sonar programme which is basically 2 tones (im novice still 😆) I may try full tone factory settings next time see if that clears things up. I could do with borrowing your mentor ro show me around the machine properly as when i watch youtube clips it is constant stop start replay scenario and is a royal pain. Determined to crack it. 💪

Hi HH, I found the same guard piece a year ago and was told it was part of a badger trap lol Just goes to show I shouldn't take anyone's word as face value as I was sure it was old just from the feel of it.

[@bertallsort694]

A good no holds barred or edited portrayal of the deus 2 Alexander! It's a marmite machine, I've used xp machines since they came out and I'm sorry but that signal tone and clarity on the d2 is appalling 😱 ( I just realized what machine the d2 's audio was sounding 😊like!! A makro racer!) I honestly feel the d1 is the better machine, what you talked about at the end digging the low buzz is exactly what I've done for years with the deus 1 and the results as you say when it's a stunning artifact retrieved is amazing! I still would like to see a d2 v d1 video! I'd shadow you every signal you got just to finally prove if the D2 goes deeper than the d1 because they way I see it the only thing a d2 offers over a d1 is depth😉... As ever great vid though...👌👌

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thank you very much for all that bert - great insight and very interesting... I havent used the 1 recently as I am putting all my time into learning the new oner but i will definitely be using it again soon - I think the 2 will have the edge on pasture and my better fields are those at the moment - maybe we should do a comparison video together though I suspect Cath is easier on the eye!!!! 😁

[@kanuckster1]

Really enjoy your videos👍 Thought I'd finally leave a comment. I've been detecting over 30 years with great success. My best tip is don't call it, just dig it. Not sure how someone with a metal detector achieves an expert designation 🤔 Is an expert someone who has used a metal director for a certain period of time? Seems like these days, someone is an expert after 30 hours in the field. Is it the number of finds that make one an expert? Or, is it when someone makes calls on their signals and gets it right , 1 out of 5 calls.🤔 I'm no expert, I consider myself lucky. Again, great videos, nice presentations!

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks Kanuckster, much appreciated and good tip; I like it... sometimes I like to call it as at least you can give yourself a clap on the back for getting the signal right when it is trash! 😁All the Best, Alexander - one thing I have noticed about this hobby is that its the only one I know where everyone who does it considers themself an expert! 😂

The only advice I can give Dave is you have to watch your own videos from a viewers viewpoint - what do you think of them then? Would you keep all the footage in or edit a bit out..? I've juts watched a bit of Wealden Hall! You have to be subjective - good luck!

[@downtoearth573]

Yet another excellent video Alex. I have a question. I use a wireless microphone linked to my phone for my videos. I see you use a separate voice recorder when making yours. I would like to ask how easy is it to sync the audio to the video when processing, is there a trick to it?

[@HolzHammerSagas]

No its quite easy you just line up the track from the box with the sound track from the camera... it only gets tricky if its so windy or there is so much background noise you cant see the audio properly from the video track - you will soon get the hang of it - good luck!
