How To Metal Detect || The Complete Beginners Guide || TOP TIPS Metal Detecting || Become A PRO

Episode 210 - I have decided to create a 'how to' guide for those that are looking to get in to metal detecting and learn how to use a metal detector. I spent several hours watching other channels guides, coupled with my own experience and created my own version. I cover detectors, the kit you need, tones & signals, iron, depth, target size, the land and many more key components so you can get started in this fascinating hobby.

What a brilliant video for newcomers to the hobby like me. Thank you so much for making it clear, concise and interesting.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi thanks very much for your warm comments and also for visiting my channel & watching this video. It pleases me to receive such great feedback from something I created :) So thank you, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth

[@michaelpace773]

Thank you for an excellent informative video.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

With the understanding that this is a detector for those on a budget kzbin.infoUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH and that it obviously can't compare with higher end models costing hundreds of dollars, having said that I can say I am very pleased with what I got for the low cost. There are cheap detectors out there likely not worth getting, but this model is an exception to that. I have read very good comment of the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV on a metal detecting forum. If you are on a budget or simply don't want to spend a lot to give this hobby a try to see if you want to keep at it, then I recommend this model as likely being one of the best you can get for one being in the low price range. The 5 star rating is to reflect 5 stars for one in this price range. This comment is from my friend as it was the gift he wanted to buy for himself with some of the money he got for Christmas.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope you took something useful from it as many others before you have. I would recommend watching this video next, 2 of my very best GOLD finds found on the same field 7 days apart. You can see it here if you wish: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJLWgqKwpq2Zr9E Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you again on my channel in the near future. Gareth

[@PreachRevolution]

Brilliant video! You've tempted me to return to my old hobby.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Thanks so much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I very much hope you learned something useful. This is my most watched video in my gallery and it makes me very proud and happy to see how many views it has received. Thanks again, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. If you are interested in seeing 2 of my best ever gold finds, then have a look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJLWgqKwpq2Zr9Esi=lsoIIZsz_q2_wYmW Thanks again, and have a great day. Gareth

[@johnturley8071]

I used to be a member of a local archeology group that did metal detector taster sessions. The main difficulty I found beginners had was keeping metal objects well away from the coil when searching and recovering finds, leading to false signals and confusion. You didn't really cover the technique for pinpointing with the detector to determine the exact location of a signal, so as to avoid damaging finds when digging. I have noticed that a lot of experienced detectorists on youtube (including you) allow the spade to point inwards at an angle when removing the plug, which can lead to hitting the find especially when its deep. I hope I haven't been too negative here, the video was a good starting point for new entrants to our great hobby.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hey John how are you doing? Thanks for getting in touch with your feedback, it is very much appreciated as I try to use viewer feedback to improve what I do. Yes pinpointing with the coil is something I should probably have mentioned and done a little lesson with using a target and the paper. My bad on that one. Its a lot harder than it looks to create a video like this, I actually did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script including topics to cover. I missed a couple of things, but I hope that newcomers to the hobby can take something useful from this video :) Thanks so much for watching and offering your thoughts. I hope to see you on a future episode

[@jasonhumphries1271]

Hey duke great vid very helpful for me thanks …..I did my first detecting the other week and found some really old rusty ornate iron pieces …..I have no idea how to clean and look up about these but wondered if you had any advice. ? I wish I could send you a pic as you would probably know better than me lol …..I’m sure one piece is a very old door knocker but it’s so thick with rust and where I found it doesn’t make any sense …..I look forward to any advice Jason 😊👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

@@jasonhumphries1271 hi Jason, thanks for getting in touch, generally in the UK we ignore iron as 99% of the time iron is just rusty farm junk. I did once find a huge rusty iron lump hammer that I expect would clean up great. I've no idea how to clean rust, Google might know more. Those early months of the hobby can be frustrating, stick at it. What machine do you use?

[@jimwilliams3517]

I'm thinkin' about getting into detecting and saw your video was for beginners. I thank you so much for your instructions. I've learned enough to tell me that I can do this, I'm disabled, and it won't bother me physically. Thanks again "Duke." You've set me on a good path to follow.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there Jim, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and for watching this video. I am really pleased that you have learned something from this video. I have full faith you can do this too, disability or no disability. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. In the meantime, have a look at this video if you like, it shows 2 of my best ever GOLD finds, found on the same field, just 7 days apart. One of my absolute favourite videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJLWgqKwpq2Zr9E Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you on my channel again. Gareth

Cracking video Gareth 👍🏻🙌🏻 very informative and great advice for people that are wanting to start in the hobby. I've had my younger brother mither me the last week about taking him and showing him what to do, I've just shared this video with him and he can't wait to get started! Keep up the great work pal 👍🏻👊🏻

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hey mate, thank you very much. Spent quite a bit of time planning and executing this one. Its by no means perfect but I think its good enough to get people started. Thanks for sharing with ya brother, I hope he is enjoying the hobby as much as we do. Off to Tenerife day after tomorrow, still not completed the next episode yet!!

Good to see you trying to help the newcomers with some sound advice.I had to learn from scratch but having detected over 25 years I think I am well versed in technique.Having said that I have just pulled up my first Gold Stater,what a thrill.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Dave, congratulations on finding a Celtic stater, that's fantastic, dream find right there! As for this video, I thought I would try my hand at a guide for beginners as I see it as an opportunity to generate views long term. I did my research, watched other channels guides and wrote a script with topics to cover. I think it worked out really well. Thanks for tuning in, congratulations again on your gold stater and see you on the next

I cannot believe this video has received over 125,000 views, this makes me very proud. I do find a lot of coins and artefacts at good depths on some of my English pasture fields, but in truth most of the things we find here are usually 4-6 inches in depth. I recently uploaded this video which shows 2 epic GOLD finds I made a few years ago, both found on the same field, just 7 days apart. I would appreciate your comments: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJLWgqKwpq2Zr9E Thanks again for coming along, hope you are subscribed and hope to meet you again in the comments section of some of my other 300 metal detecting videos.

Great video!! Im gonna start this spring I got 2 detectors a pin pointer all the small thing for digging. I also picked up a drone and am looking for old maps of the locations I plan on visiting. Knowing the history of the land and getting a bird’s eye view should help big time.

Very excited to get into this, even if I never find anything crazy, I’ll have fun thinking I did! I tried magnet fishing, but that was a lot more work and time than I have, this seems like a more relaxed hobby

Hi Jim, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I really hope you took something useful from it? I'm blown away that this video has had 75,000 views, that's crazy for my channel. I once bought a magnet and rope, but never ended up using it as it sounded a bit dirty and you can't find any gold or silver. Metal detecting definitely requires a lot of time and patience, more so than magnet fishing. But I wish you luck in your new found pursuit, any questions, let me know. Gareth

[@gerardconlon4707]

That was a very thorough introduction to metal detecting. I will be taking away: diging three quarters round the hole to use the grass roots as a hinge to put it back and the deeper the find, the older the find. I'm glad you put in "You will need patience, just keeep going and don't give up" I know from experience people watch a twenty minute video and don't realise that it was six hours of metal detecting ? Cheers mate you've given me a lot to think about, as I start metal detecting and probably saved me a lot of trial and error making stuid desisions 👍 I look forward to watching more videos and seeinng how YOU do things.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Gerard, good to hear from you and I am pleased you have took some useful pointers from this video. Yes metal detecting requires lots of hard work, time and patience. And correct, these videos are a culmination of around 5 hours in a field, then another 5 hours on my laptop editing and putting it all together. Thank you so much for you appreciation and kind words. There are a lot of guys who follow my channel who now use XP metal detectors and are learning from me and my channel, I am always available day or night to help people where and when I can.

Absolutely fantastic and very informative video mate and so well executed as always.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Thanks mate, something I've been wanting to do for a while. I did my research, did my planning, wrote my scripts and noted topics to cover. A couple of folk mentioned I should of talked about gloves and a detector pinpoint feature which are fair comments. There's so many topics I could of mentioned to be fair, I was happy with the finished project and I look forward to seeing how well (or bad) over time it performs

Last summer i picked up a Fisher in a mid price range, and began practicing with it in my own yard an a neighbor's yard. Even though i have some experience using it, i found your video very helpful. My best find so far was a vintage sterling silver heart shaped pendant that is still in great condition. I also found an old piece of lead shaped like a padlock, but it is not a padlock. Perhaps it is some type of weight. I have found a few modern US coins, but nothing very wonderful yet. Anyway, i am retired and have plenty of time for the hobby. The weather is getting better now here in New England. It will be time to get back out there. I still have a lot of space in my own yard to search before venturing elsewhere. Thank you for sharing your experience and providing such great video content! I can't wait to get back out there.

Hello Tony, thank you for such a wonderful and insightful comment, and also for taking the time to watch this video.

Great tutorial G even us older timers can learn from this 👍

Hey Mike, thanks a lot buddy, this was surprisingly difficult to make but I was really happy with the result and I hope people will search for "How to metal detect" and it should generate traffic to my channel for years to come. Well that's the plan at least haha. Thanks as always for tuning in and leaving positive feedback

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire you're most welcome as always !! Shame I can't get you a real coffee (as opposed to virtual) at this weekends Detectival! If you change your mind I'm heading down tomorrow from E Yorks 😄

Hey Rob, thank you my friend, something a little different again here, always wanted to do a beginners guide to metal detecting as I seen a few on here already with hundreds of thousands of views. Will be interested to see how this one performs long term. Thanks as always for everything you do to support my channel, it means a lot to me. Hope you have a great week

Thanks for great info & content! We are sailing cruisers and are interested in incorporating this fascinating hobby into our explorations! Loved the video! A list of least expensive starter equipment for beaches and tidal estuaries would be most interesting! ⛵️👍

Hello, thanks very much for taking the time to watch this video and for showing interest in my channel. The Nokta Makro Simplex is a great beginner machine and its waterproof / submersable so great for beaches and shallows. Metal detecting rules are different in different countries so you would need to make sure its legal and you have permission. Hope this helps. Gareth

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire thank you for that info, really appreciate you taking the time to reply. We are so liking the look of the Minelab 540 at the moment. Any thoughts on this one? 👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

You are welcome, I always reply to anyone who takes the time to watch my content and comment. Yes the Minelab Vanquish 540 is brilliant, but it is not rechargable and not waterproof

great guide I've invested in two metal detectors the MYLEK MYMD1062 and the Bounty Hunter Land Ranger plus recently the Garrett AT pro Garrett carrot pin pointer also a parrot Drone to search for potential targets from above
