Great hunt Bill. The beach looked worse for wear. I am glad Christine did her car noise.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... at least it was seaweed and not trash.

[@noraschwerdt1337]

Congrats to the winners! Yay Bill, redemption with the 14k ring! Happy Memorial Day weekend guys. Shout out to our military past & present.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks Nora... yes our military men and women are superstars and deserve the best

[@Detect-Oregon]

Nice hunt Bill with the Manticore. You’re back in the gold game. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Remember the fallen.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... always exciting to find nice things... Yes, our fallen are the true hero's of our Country... thanks for that

[@Detect-Oregon]

I hope the younger generations can will embrace/appreciate and honor the sacrifices that were made for the freedoms we have today. ✌🏻

[@audraacklin9826]

Good afternoon Bill. Watching late, went for a day drive. ❤️😃

[@DigginSoCal]

Nice... love a good drive... Hope you had a good time

[@marcshea8921]

Awesome pull with the 14k ring, it looks amazing. Guessing that the GP necklace sticks to a magnet 🧲 that's why the detectors hate it.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks...yeah, the chain does stick to a magnet... If I wore chains, I would wear this one

[@AuDive0]

Excellent video and hunt. Congrats on the gold ring, very cool. Congratulations to all the winner's. Thank you Bill and Christina. Really enjoyed the video thanks. Gregg 👍😃

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... was a fun day at the beach and always nice getting a lil reward like the 14K ring...

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... Very nice find for sure

[@SuperDookieHowser]

"Oh, did you find a Merc?" 😂 Some nice finds Bill! 14k ring! Have a great weekend!

[@DigginSoCal]

I did a good job but Christine won't let me have my glory...lol

[@aztreasurehuntingduo]

Congrats to all the winners!🎉 Awesome gold hunt, Bill. ✨️ Now ya gotta get a merc! 🍀

[@DigginSoCal]

So true... I need a Merc to calm my side kick...lol... thank you

[@hopisanka4430]

It detects gold links separately on jewelry, so fine chains arent much of a signal.

[@dinnopascual4887]

Hello Bill! Good-morning! Let’s go to find things and Diggin’!

[@DigginSoCal]

Morning.... already itching to get back out and hunt

[@LobsterClawzRecovery]

I was wondering if you had any additional comments on the Manticore's ability to detect gold chains? I realized many detectors struggle with the ability to pick up gold chains and right now, I use the XP Deus 2, but have not come across the gold chain to even detect - if I knew there even was one there.

[@corazondemelon8374]

Necklace is marked gold plated. Nice finds tho.👍🏼😊

[@DigginSoCal]

Yes, it was. Still a nice find. Thanks

[@braydonhanson]

7:23 Wowzers!

[@DigginSoCal]

LOL... nothing like a car find!!!

[@bradloy25]

You mean the mighty manticore has trouble detecting the chain… I’ve been told that the legend is terrible at finding chains, yet I’ve found plenty myself using it. Just funny when someone is brand specific and starts the common bashing of other brands. I would love a manticore or 900 or deus 2 but the price is what stops me. I think no matter what you swing there will be times you might miss a target where as other machines might pick it up depending on settings and the such. I honestly think there is very little difference between the 3 big names on the market.

[@DigginSoCal]

I agree... I think most of the machines have trouble with things like the chain I found. I think people have their brand favorites and just because you don't like a detector does not make it bad. We are planning on taking the Nokta detectors out the next time the two of us can hunt together at a beach. Just need to go over the controls again...been a while. I think I will test the chain on them just for personal knowledge.... I do like my NOX but would take any detector and enjoy what I do...

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Congrats to the winners. That X-Terra Pro is an awesome prize. My name was called out on a live stream for a Legend metal detector, but I was working on call. Had to be present to win on the live stream. Prize went to the next name picked. 😩 Bye-eeee!

[@DigginSoCal]

Oh wow, that sucks... Thanks

[@lisamilyard7916]

Yay for gold! Great job!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks Lisa... was a nice score... going to check the local sites and see if someone reported it lost.

[@cyko0213]

I wonder how the Minelab X-Terra pro will do with that chain? 🤔

[@edhughes8262]

A dandy 14k ring 💍 and some shiny bling, and about 20 stakes (maybe a record for you?). Well done Bill 👍🏻

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks, it was a sweet find. If not a record it was at least a top 5

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Bill Man What a Hunt on this video. I really was hoping the chain was for real and not gold plated. Christine Loved the Monster Truck I do blame her those are so cool to find. Congrats on the 14k Ring Awesomeness and also Congrats to the Winner of the Xterra Pro and the two other winners of their Choice of T-shirt or Beenie Totally Rad .. Happy Hunting .. Peace

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... always nice getting out. I pulled up to the beach and immediately saw someone detecting... Always seems that way now but I don't mind because nobody can hit it all... and wow, it was nice finding the gold ring. Still the best thing about the day is being out at the beach and taking it all in... treasure is a bonus and the gold well that was a super bonus... almost as much as the tent stakes..lol

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

@@DigginSoCal right being out in the beach air is always a good feeling. I never seen anyone dig as many tent stakes as you do. Keep on digging. See you two on your next adventure.. Peace

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Redeemed! lol. Odd that the necklace does not come up on either machine too well. Thanks for the hunt miss the beach always.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... yeah, it baffled me

[@adventureswithjeff6937]

I hope you like your Manticore

[@DigginSoCal]

It is growing on me.... been using it all week and my Nox is complaining...lol

[@adventureswithjeff6937]

Your getting spammed here check your comment

[@stevewilson4071]

Well all that jewelry is nice Bill but did you find a merc? Lol. I have found several chains just like that gold one and they just don't come up on the detector. Haven't figured out why really but it's almost like they're made of stainless steel. Very strange. Good hunt though!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks and yeah, I need a merc or won't ever get peace... lol. I guess I was fortunate the chain was visible...still a nice looking one

[@YaknTackle]

The Nox900 sniffed out 2 gold rings and 3 silver rings today time for steaks and drinks!!! Cheers and Beers!!!

[@DigginSoCal]

Very cool.... I hope you really like the 900. I want to try one out and compare it to the 800. Cheers

[@richardpike7030]

Love you guys. I have found gold and silver, but never a tent stake. Shukes! Richard, Opelika, Alabama

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much... I don't know what to say... you need to find one....lol

[@rdoggtreasurehunter5583]

Nice hunt SoCal! Sweet ring! GL&HH!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks R Dogg...

[@martinbishop4279]

Hey Bill I don't think you should compare all the other hunts because Christine was not there at those hunts to defend ,but do think it was a awesome hunt. Will let you know that it would be a good idea to use the all metal mode when checking out items on your hunt's you switched once and I did hear the grunt but it seemed that you dismissed it. Any keep it up and make it fun and Happy Hunting 🙂👍..

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks for the tip... yeah, I am still learning and appreciate that. I also agree that I have the advantage because I get a lot more time swinging than Christine....

[@audraacklin9826]

Congratulations to the winners!! 🎉🎉❤️❤️😃

[@annetteessman8827]

[@BobHolland1949]

Congratulations to the winners. I didn't win so I just bought me an Xterra Pro from me to me. Maybe I'll get a cupcake for my birthday also.

[@DigginSoCal]

Well, at least you got one... Hope you get all you deserve for your birthday!!!

[@1948bigd]

Good morning Bill from Alabama. Where is Christine today?..

[@DigginSoCal]

Hello... She was catching up on her rest... trying to get her out to hunt...

[@detectorguy4565]

Congrats to the winners, you too Bill for finding the getting back on the Gold :) Yeah No car noises from Christine , must have her car in the shop. Do not recognize that beach, but then again it has been a while.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... yeah, she just decided to play with them. I never know what to expect with her. It was Corona Del Mar...

[@MegaPapalotes]

That’s why is on the surface

[@brotherskeepers111]

Toy cars always sound great

[@DigginSoCal]

Yes... they are fun to pull out of the sand...so many cool ones

[@lochlyngroff6369]

Great finds today. You sure ĝot better find today than Christine. Now she has to catch up

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... I really scored on the 14K ring... too bad the chain was GP... still, a great day but she won't let the mercury dime rest...lol

[@TermaMary]

On the gold again, just can’t wait to be on the gold again, I’m detecting in the sand and in the sun and I can’t wait to be on the gold again

[@DigginSoCal]

Yes.... good luck to you on your hunts

[@steveandermatt5668]

Your kind of a ring that was welded looks like part of a dogs choke collar, chain with two ends like that

[@DigginSoCal]

Very true... especially since there are a lot of dogs on the beach. Thanks

[@NathanielOutdoorAdventures]

Drifting cars and drift wood trains lol. Lots of armless fun. Some nice jewellery but that gold ring was a beauty. And multiple silver is always cool. No fun had here

[@oscarnavarro748]

13 the lucky number 😆, happy hunting everyone.

[@DigginSoCal]

Yes, and although I dig every target I can, I won't pass up any 13

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Nice ring find! Maybe because it was gold plated over crap metal the chain wasn't going off? Gotta love the cars too...

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... true, I do plan on checking it with other detectors but I think a lot of chains are like that.... good thing it was visible...

[@skulldiver]

Watching the video without sound, I wondered how such a high ID was possible on a necklace...Reading through the comments I realized it was a fake 18K. I am still evaluating the Manticore today and will not give in to the temptation to purchase until I am certain of the allocation of the low conductors. Thanks for your content

[@edwardheida2919]

Wow! Metal stuff, coinage, jewelry, gold ring, toy truck snd on top of all that … tent stakes!!! Great hunt. And congrats to the winners (not me again). Big 3 day weekend coming too

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks, it was an awesome hunt... Not sure how busy the beaches will be this weekend. They weather is cooler than past Memorial Day weekends

[@stevepd1]

Looks like you're at Corona del Mar. The beach has been so picked over, I'm glad you managed to find anything. Congrats on the gold!

[@DigginSoCal]

I was and it gets hit a lot... actually seems like most of our beaches are getting detected heavily now....

[@stevepd1]

@Diggin' SoCal Bill and Christine, I do pretty well at our local beaches during the week. It seems that regulars and "full-timers" hit the beach on the weekends. I see metal detecting tracks at the towel line and all around the firepits. I'm starting to recognize footprints. I think there are even people who metal detecting as their full time job.

[@gettinotuit]

Congrats to the winners!

[@pattydisheroon9380]

Congratulations to the winners. Nice beach hunt. Jewelry is good. Keep swinging and stay safe. Peace 🙏🙏

[@myobs]

@ 3:42 onwards..........this is precisely why I have a love/hate relationship with my Etrac. It will not give any response at all to gold even when you touch the coil with it. I'm extremely methodical and thorough when I'm detecting so I'm convinced I've missed a stack of gold targets over the years. I was hoping that their Manticore would be the answer but.......obviously not!

[@randywilson4529]

Bill that’s crazy that both machine wouldn’t hardy pick up the chain, I believe you said it was 18k gp which it should have, and I too wonder what it’s made of, but any way kudos on the ring and other awesome finds, thank for sharing

[@rogervanhoover3574]

I once looked for a large pendant for a friend. I visually located it, but was surprised to see it could not be seen by my Vanquish 540, just like your gold plated necklace. Upon research, I discovered that there is some stainless steel, that is so non-conductive, that a metal detector can't see it. I would assume that the necklace you found was gold plated over stainless steel... just FYI

[@cyndeecollings9461]

BILL I LOVE TO WATCH YOU GO HUNTING BUT I MISS CHRISTINE WHEN SHE ISNT WITH YOU. YOU TWO ARE SO FUN TO WATCH THANK YOU. STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS

[@DigginSoCal]

I totally agree... def not the same. We are going out to some parks on her day off... I hope she has a good hunt

[@brettellis1837]

Mate get 15 ins coil. That gold chain i got a chain that size but half dia came up -- 11 on xterra pro 14 ct true ghost chain work that out. Lol 😂 ps that young lass needs a tonka truck. Lol what a honey.😊

[@sheila3845]

yeah monster truck, you are having a great day hunting

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... def a great day

[@pamandjohnmc]

You can't go wrong with a Garrett detector. 33 years detecting.

[@DigginSoCal]

Can't argue. I have friends that will only use a Garrett. Good luck on your hunts

[@wiseguydigsgold]

Great video, That is interesting that the Manticore didn't pick up that gold chain. You might be missing a lot of other gold targets? Hope you are able to figure that out. Best of luck out there.

[@davidlewis9068]

Thanks Dawn... It was a nice day with some nice finds... Nothing like a cool morning at the beach...

Double check that necklace! GP means gold plum which is a higher purity as it was made directly from a bar.

[@1948bigd]

Love the monster truck. Another toy for Christine.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks...yes, love finding toys if not only to hear Christine's reaction

[@markgreul2654]

lol with a sensitivity of 13 no wonder your depth is not there and you couldn’t pick up the gold chain.

[@DigginSoCal]

Yes, I have an unfair advantage....one good find of hers beats me ten fold based on time hunting...lol. I am getting better with the Manticore and I think whatever was the base metal of that chain was not very easy to detect. I am sure there will be more opportunities in the future.
