Nokta Double Score Galveston Beach Hunt

[@mrmetaldetectorist]

Great hunt brother. 🎉

[@richnet12]

Miss the nice Texas winters.

[@TheTexanDetector]

Yes the mild winters here are probably my favorite time of the year to detect. Now the hot summers where the temps hit 3 digits for months at a time are pretty rough lol still go detecting just have to keep plenty of cold water on hand.

[@bobkurmis5347]

Winner winner chicken 🐔 dinner ….. a beach Merc!! I like “Double Trouble” 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheTexanDetector]

Funny when I said double trouble i was just joking around, but it does have a nice ring to it. Of all the things I thought I might find on the beach that day a merc wasn't even on my radar lol. I recognized it as a mercury dime, but it took a second for it to sink in 😂. Definitely made my day thanks for watching my friend!

[@southernrelics]

That’s crazy!! Great silver merc find on the beach with the DS! Looking forward to seeing what you find on the next adventure!

[@TheTexanDetector]

I was hoping for a silver but I thought it would have been a silver ring lol. Didn't expect a merc but definitely happy with the save.

[@jayhumphrey7858]

OMG you're not going to believe this. My first hunt with my double score today and I found a 1944 Merc! as well. What are the freaking odds? Daytona beach

[@TheTexanDetector]

Wow that's crazy. Maybe the Double Score is tuned in to finding 1944 mercury dimes 🤣😂🤣. Congrats and thanks for watching.

[@diggingwesttexas3342]

I think we should call it the Nokta DS. Enjoyed your video my friend especially the Merc!

[@TheTexanDetector]

I agree Nokta DS has a nice ring to it. Thanks

[@coinshooter-cm2ty]

Looks like you carried 2 winners with you today the double score and the dead cat as you called it the sound even with the wind was top notch. Yes I am very impressed with that DS aka little legend just watching videos on it this will be my next backup detector I like that the sounds and the vdi is on par with the legend which to me will make it very enjoyable. Hey congrats on the merc dime that was awesome heck just watching you bro I almost got as excited as you did, I look forward to more videos from you and can't wait til you do a park hunt with it as that's mostly what I do except for an occasional old home site hunt I live here in W. TN so no big beaches in this area but the plans are I am retired now and in a couple years when my wife retires is to travel a little and hit some places along the way.

[@TheTexanDetector]

Well you will be in luck cause I plan on doing a lot of park hunts with DS soon. The ds is do much like the legend when you are out swinging a couple times I forgot which machine I was swinging. Very on par as far as performance just an easier interface. Now you do lose some ability to customize, but so far I haven't missed it. My long term plan is to be able to have both detectors in the truck but set up differently. Have the legend set up with the lg24 and the higher recovery speed for tot lots and trashy areas of the park. Then the DS with the sc30 coil to hunt around baseball and soccer fields to cover more area and set with a mid to low recovery speed for a little more depth. Should be a good combo.

Sweet Score on the Merc Dime. Man this DS is looking like a great detector. What an Awesome Hunt Brother. Merry Christmas ..

[@TheTexanDetector]

Thanks brother and Merry Christmas to you and yours as well 🎅

[@silversurfer3202]

👀 No need to mention the wind...I can see the Palm trees swaying back and forth through your car window in the background during the introduction of this video. 😳!!! (And obviously that fuzzy little muffler is workin' pretty well). 😎👍

[@TheTexanDetector]

I was pretty impressed with the mic and the dead cat.

[@izzybee790]

Really enjoyed this my friend I’ve had a simplex plus for a couple of years and wasn’t quite sure which direction to go next however I’m definitely going to buy myself a double score rather than the legend 👍 thanks again 🤘

[@TheTexanDetector]

Going from the simplex the double score would be a great upgrade. Pretty easy detector to learn and very capable. Anything from relic hunting to beach hunting the DS can do it all and still easy to use. Thanks for watching and happy hunting!

[@alanjameson2822]

Good stuff Texan Digger. Season’s Greetings from Digger Al on Prince Edward Island. Keep’em coming. I am quite interested in seeing how the DS works out. I am presently using the Legend, and enjoying it, but would like something a bit more simple. I know my headphones would be compatible, and hoping my LG24 will work on it.

[@TheTexanDetector]

Well if you like the legend and want something a little more simple the DS might be perfect for you. At times swinging I would almost forget that it was the DS and not the legend lol. I too like to keep things simple. I actually like to factory reset my legend about once a month. I have a pretty simple way I like to set it up so its not a big deal. Just like to know everything is set fresh and nothing changed in the background that i forgot about lol.

[@diggingnashvegas]

Nice silver score

[@TheTexanDetector]

Thanks

Awesome glad to have you aboard!

[@claydankewich9582]

Nice Merc still looking for one and ive hit quite a few old home places

[@TheTexanDetector]

Funny how you can never really guess what or where you'll find something lol. I've found a few mostly by old baseball fields. That one definitely surprised me.

[@claydankewich9582]

@@TheTexanDetector. But did find an 1852 large cent my best coin. It’s my lucky lottery scratch coin

[@TheTexanDetector]

@claydankewich9582 wow 1852 large cent that's awesome! I can see why its your lucky coin 👍

[@diggingnashvegas]

Nokta DS for sure

[@TheTexanDetector]

Yeah Nokta DS has a nice ring to it thanks

[@Myers70]

Nice video. In your opinion is the Double score a Legend with less features. I own a Vanquish 540 and I love the turn on and go. I want a waterproff detector and I'm leaning Double Score because it has features my 540 doesn't but it appears to be less complicated to use then the Legend. What is your opinion. Thanks

[@TheTexanDetector]

IMO if that's what you are looking for the double score would be a great option. It has very similar performance as the legend but a much easier interface.

[@Myers70]

@@TheTexanDetector really appreciate you responding. That's exactly what I was thinking, the Double Score interface looks very friendly. Thanks again.🍺

[@davidkurimski6122]

Did you make your sandscoop? It looks extra heavy duty??

[@TheTexanDetector]

Its a RTG Pro sand scoop. Love it! I got tired of always feeling like I was going to break my sand scoop so i got this one. Its linked in the description.

[@billweser8931]

I was hoping you would have got a double score with that mercury dime

[@TheTexanDetector]

That would have been nice. The next day I thought I had a silver quarter because it wiped so clean, but it was a 1965 😥 lol

[@unorthodoxxadmin2468]

Where did you get your scoop from please l? 😃

[@TheTexanDetector]

Its the RTG Pro Scoop. I just linked it in the description.

[@mrmetaldetectorist]

How much does the double score go for?

[@TheTexanDetector]

Now sure what its going for now. There is a link in the description for we dig metal detectors. They normally have the best prices.

[@mrbuckaroobonzai]

Hi yo Silver!!! way to go Travis. Nice Merc brother and the DS seems to be a deeeepp machine!! I was excited as you were, my wife ask me "what the hell you yelling for" I showed her and she said, that's a Merc!! Where there's one there is another. Good hunt bro and that money is building up for the payoff!! Feliz Navidad Travis, take care and see you on the next hunt with the DS brother

[@TheTexanDetector]

Funny thing about that merc was i recognized it right away, but took a second for it to sink in lol. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well brother hope yall are happy and blessed.

[@alanjameson2822]

DS Deep Stuff

[@TheTexanDetector]

I like it but how about DS deep silver 😃 lol

[@WILE-E-DETECTING]

I vote for nokta. DS. over Nokta S2

[@TheTexanDetector]

Thanks! Yeah I was leaning towards DS too. Has a nice ring to it.

[@metaldetectorjunky3556]

I wish someone would get in the water with it I want to see if it is good in the water before I buy one

[@TheTexanDetector]

Well it was kind of cold that day so I wouldn't have recommended getting wet lol. I did dip the coil in the water just to see how it would react and it stayed running smooth. Had the whole coil under the water. Not sure how good of a test that was, but till it warms up a little that was as far as I could go.

[@metaldetectorjunky3556]

@@TheTexanDetector thanks for the little bit of Information about the water test

[@silversurfer3202]

QUESTION : Did ja' Really need Knee Pads in the soft sand on the beach 😝???

[@TheTexanDetector]

Well the sand was pretty wet so they did keep my pants dry lol.

[@silversurfer3202]

@@TheTexanDetector 🤠 I live in San Antonio....Just to have a chance to metal detect the beach, I wouldn't give a DAMN about getting my pants wet --- Especially using a metal detector good for 15 feet underwater 😂!!!! ( That's be like me wearing a Wet Suit and Scuba Gear in the shower 😝)
