This $479 Metal Detector PAID for ITSELF in ONE DAY!

[@MrBottlecapBill]

I believe...and correct me if I'm wrong. This may be THE FIRST documented case of someone actually finding the chain AFTER the pendant was located lol. I've been doing this for 15 years and NEVER found the chain once. GOOD JOB!

[@TreasureOutdoors]

Always look... NEVER find it!!

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

Ditto!

[@arnoldindustries6983]

I did once but I knew the pendant and chain were in the area. Not the same I know.

[@ringhunter1006]

Mr Bottle cap I have but it was a bigger chain. I have been hunting since 1992.

[@markfloyd6816]

Excellent hunt, Austin! Well done! I dug a 10k girls HS class ring from 1924 last week. 100 years old! Happy hunting!

did you find the owner? ;-}

If your non-waterproof metal detector ever gets wet...first thing is to turn it off (if you can) then immediately remove the batteries and dry them off. Then remove the electronics from its case, clean it off and let it totally dry. Then reassemble. Many times you luck out and save a good detector...

[@arnoldindustries6983]

That gold chain is elusive because of the faint, low response signal. That's because of the chains small details in its construction. Many people will not even check those signals. I found one gold chain and I knew it was in the area. The signal was basically identical to your chain signal. Nice work.

[@js5866]

I’m glad a nice guy got to find some gold. Congrats

[@mickbalton7028]

Well done on the chain...buy yourself a new pouch,before you start losing gold..determination is all you need to find gold..but the better the machine,the more you will find,

[@mrjackson2358]

This is what iv been waiting for. a real test in sea water! Ordering mine now. Thanks for the vid and congrats on the awesome finds!

[@TreasureOutdoors]

I need to take it to a bigger beach to give it a real test but I'm thinking it should run pretty stable if it's got the Vanqush / Equinox multi-IQ. Good luck out there!

[@BigMamaCat]

How cute was the pink paw. ☺ It was good to see that the sand flattener didn't scoop up much of the surface, leaving the treasures in tact. The one on our beaches here actually sifts the sand to remove 💉and stuff, so it probably scoops up most of the treasures, as well.

[@byronhewitt3463]

I'm pretty confident that your Jesus figure is made of (white Gold), because it would have to say that there is also 925 ( sterling) as well. I don't think they would mix junk metal with precious metal. Great Hunt and congratulations on all your finds. 🙂👍

[@brianrescallar4077]

Can be this detector able to detect gold bar or bullion 5 meters under the ground? Thanks for your response in advance

[@navanawatt8415]

@byronhewitt3463 you're correct, any bi metal jewellery should have both stamps. Also the reason junk metal isn't combined with precious metals is that you physically can't join them. They simply won't solder together. Silver & gold can be soldered no problem. It's much easier to solder 2 golds though because the melting temperature is much closer

[@jewelleryrecoveryspecialist]

Ive found plenty of white gold, can't say I've ever seen one with 925 stamped on it next to the gold stamp ?? ​@@navanawatt8415

[@jbo1108]

@@brianrescallar4077 5 meters would be a lot, I doubt most handheld detectors can read that deep

@@navanawatt8415 Soldering jewelry, it is easier if both metals have same or close melt temp. Between silver and gold you have to have a solder that melts below either one's melt temp. That will probably mean

[@realElzie]

I got a vanquish 340, went to the park and I have found a lot of aluminum and four or five 9mm bullets. Pretty fun! Can't wait to dig up something fancy

[@TreasureOutdoors]

Keep on trying! A lot of the times the treasure hides within the trash... just gotta keep swingin'! (:

[@realElzie]

@@TreasureOutdoors well it didn’t take long lol. I found my girlfriend’s dad’s wedding ring he lost about 10 years ago, then went to a park near me and found a chain from a necklace which might (strong emphasis) be gold. I’m not too sure how to know if it’s gold without bringing it somewhere, but it’s heavy and not magnetic 😄

[@AstralWorks_unspoken411]

I found like almost 1000$ in gold in like not even a month going out every now and then, that’s not including the nice sterling fakes too…this machine is my best friend lol

[@MasonCrum9]

Almost gave a thumbs down because you gave me the option at the end and then my subconscious basically screamed at me that I better not and that I was entertained the entire time and it deserves a thumbs up....well played....thumbs up.

Waaaaaay to go Austin! You found gold!! Whoop whoop!🎉

I've been using the Minelab Equinox 800 iq metal detector for a few months now. It's a really good metal detector.👍

What model ckg scoop are you using, and how is it holding up, have you used it in gravely conditions? Great hunt. Gl & hh.

[@magnanamus8659]

Great find! This is why we Always dig the 4 signal! 😅

[@zaksmith4523]

Trying to figure out how the finds paid for the $479 metal detector. How much could you get for the gold chain at a pawn shop or jeweler?

[@desertweasel6965]

The first time I bought my detector a bounty hunter back in the 90s I was testing it in my backyard and found a gold chain I got 45 bucks for scrap. Then, I found this mound of metal I thought was a meteorite. I sent it to another state through the mail and they analysed it and it was just solder.

[@mass4552]

It was a fine day for detecting. The machine worked great for you. Nice finds.

[@minotor7176]

Hello what the exact name lf this kind of Shovel you are using please ? Maybe a link if you have . Thanks mate

[@patrashdigger]

They are waterproof without the cap. The cap is more for dust and dirt build up. Salt water may cause some corrosion with cap

[@rudigginit]

Hi Austin 👋 Thanks very much for sharing. Lovely beach Best regards and happy hunting from the UK 👍

[@stevewaters2974]

Congrats on that gold bonanza! Two really nice pieces of gold. If I remember you got a gold anchor years ago also so seems to be a nautical trend with you. Can't wait to try my elite when it comes next week.

[@toyotasubaru7314]

Can I know what type of camera you use, do you place it on your chest or head, and what settings do you use so that everyone can benefit from your experience? Thank you for the wonderful video😊

[@larryharvey7709]

Thanks for the video. I was considering getting rid of my surf master PI but after watching that I decided to keep it.

[@T1000-u7m]

Nice finds,I have a Garrett 350 and a mine lab gold monster haven't got a chance to really explored it yet,gotta find the time and places to do it.

[@MicBergsma]

Hey I am deaf, is this metal detector very useful for me with vibration feature?

I think it would work pretty well, if you end up picking one up hope you have fun out there! :)

@@TreasureOutdoors Thanks!

[@TeamLynchBMD]

My wife's Xterra Pro is a gold sniffing machine itself. The beach mode is actually multi although Minelab says it's 8Hz

Optimism pays off, so does tenacity. Nice finds brother. 🤙

[@JoshuaEllison-vg4wn]

Tip-If you pinch the sides of the zipper with pliers a little together on your pouch the zipper will work

[@Mike-kh7lb]

Hey Austin. Awesome finds. It's a great feeling when you know your finds have paid for the detector...and on the first outing! By the way, from what I can tell on Minelab's website, the X-Terra Pro coils are compatible with the Elite. So your v8x should work on the Elite also. My Elite hasn't arrived yet, so haven't confirmed myself.

Are you constantly filming? Or only once you hear a beep.

Do you live nearby and walk to the beach? I live in St Pete and all the beach parking is like $5 per hour.

[@vix1960]

That’s just gross. 😧

[@digginggopher]

You got to pay or get a pass for all the beaches in my area too, it sucks, there's a couple beaches within biking distance of me but they are all lousy beaches

[@TreasureOutdoors]

Some smaller beaches you can get parking permits for a year which helps out with cost if you go there a lot. But some of the bigger beaches you end up spending $30 to park for a couple hours and find a couple pennies lol. It's still fun! 🏖

[@CityScapesLawnCare]

@@TreasureOutdoors thanks for the tip. I appreciate your channel keep posting.

Congrats on joining the gold chain club. Minelabs beginning with the equinox are deadly on fine gold chains. Try a Reilly Treasured Gold mesh pouch for water hunts.

[@peterbicker8389]

Yeah that is a rope chain. Awesome hunt. The Xtera Elite ran so smoothly and quietly in the water. That might be better then the Equinox 600.

[@emilmaki3001]

What sort of process do you follow to get the items back to the owners?

[@zzzzzzzzzzaper]

Great hunt AUSTIN. The zipper you have to get it back on the other teeth too try a strait screw driver insert on the sidethat is off the track on the zipper pull give a lil twist to spread that side just wide enough to get it back on track then slide it all the way back (wide open)and squeeze the opening WITH needlenose pliers back to original size should fix it TRY AND SEE IF IT ZIPPS THEN ADJUST IT TO WORK GOOD AS POSSIBLE..... LOL HAHAHAHA

[@sobeit2842]

You ight consider using a mesh finds bag for water hunting. Lorraine at RTG, Reilly's Treasured Gold in Pompano Beach stocks a custom made mesh bag, used by south florida pro's who make a living at this. I found it to be far more durable than the Kellyco mesh bag. BTW, Lorraine is a grest source of information about south florida treasure hunting going back decades. If you were writing a book on the subject, she would be the first one you'd want to consult. Her uncle was Kevin Reilly, one of South Florida's more legendary beach hunters from the 1970s to 2009. He founded RTG decades ago. She stocks his book on hunting most florida beaches from the Treasure coast on down to key biscayne. She has other treasure hunting volumes too. Ask her to show you photos from her friends and customers. Some amazing stuff never posted on the interweb. Well worth a visit and a schmooze even if you don't need any new kit presently. Oh...she has great deals for used detectors on consignment. Just sayin' because I been buyiing my gear there and its a lot more interesting than clicking on amazon.

[@jas350]

Hi. What was the name of this detector? Great finds..

[@MrLukaszcu]

I think the vanquish is one of the best beach metal detectors for ergonomics however it's crippled because it's not waterproof

[@surfingalien30]

so the gold chain shows up as a 7 on the meter? Ouch! I have that notched out on my Garrett At pro. I guess I should just dig everything from now on...

[@digginggopher]

Nice gold anchor 🔱⚓ I havnt found any gold this season, but I've found a silver chain and a couple silver rings

[@digginggopher]

Yeah getting a new headlamp got me out on the morning before sunrise to test it out, new toys can be motivating at first when you want to test them

[@TreasureOutdoors]

Keep looking, it's out there! Silver is sweet too. 👍

[@tommywinthrop3429]

The EQ600 vs Elite would be a great video. Also im looking at purchasing one of the two. Mixed statements on if the EQ600 is really waterproof or not which is very important to me cause ive already killed a Vanquish in the surf!!!!

[@benhansen2557]

That was awesome!! Great finds🙌 I’ve just bought the x-terra elite myself, my first metal detector. Could I ask you for a little advice please? ..I’ve only been out in the field opposite my house in the countryside UK and it’s constantly beeping with numbers bouncing all over the place. I think I might have the sensitivity up too high? How do I turn it down?!🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ve been watching videos online and you sound very knowledgeable so I’m hoping you don’t mind but would understand if you have more important things to do! Any help would be very much appreciated👍

Hey! Love the channel. I do want to ask you a question though. I’m into metal detecting now and had a good beginners one for some time now. I want to get a more professional one. What would you recommend? At the same time, I don’t want to be spending a lot of money lol. What’s a good metal detector for a decent price? Or could you name a few brands that are good and decently priced?

[@TexasPlugRiches]

If this isn’t a testimonial to buy the Xterra Elite, nothing is! Great finds with that new Minelab! Nothing better than taking your Xterra Elite out on it’s maiden detection voyage and find enough Gold to cover the cost of the detector! Surely many good times ahead with that Xterra Elite! Can’t wit to see more of it in action and any coparisons you come up with! Congrats on your Gold finds! Well done!

Added: Today I purchased the Xterra Elite Expedition Pack as I just couldn’t pass up such a great value for such a capable detector.

Chain after the pendant - holy grail. I just got the pro not too long ago. And ended up getting elite not a week or so ago. I was hoping the same thing that the jumpy signals would be gone with it. I haven’t used elite yet but plan on taking it on its maiden voyage at cocoa beach this coming week.

[@TreasureOutdoors]

I forget the exact settings but I know I was experimenting between beach 1 & 2. I had my sensitivity around 20 and also was adjusting my recovery speed between 2-3. Will try to keep it in mind for the future! Thanks for hangin'!

[@pulltabsdetector7608]

What machine is it?

[@realElzie]

How do you find the cash value of the items you dig up?

[@TreasureOutdoors]

It depends but the simplest way is if it's precious getting the scrap price of gold or silver that day and then weigh whatever you have. But that really only gives you a scrap value, some things can be worth a lot more than the metal price!

[@realElzie]
