Just shows you don't have to have the most expensive machine to get top finds , well done lads👍

[@TheMetalDetectingChannel]

100% mate, the Minelab vanquish is a £230 machine but what a machine it is! It's never truly about the machines, it's more about experience and a lot of luck :-) mainly luck haha

[@splatcave3145]

Tis like golf and fishing, etc. People seem to think you need the most expensive kit 🙄

[@christopherbraiden6713]

Thanks for the video lads all I can say is wwwaaàhhhhh there's gold in them hills well done Mike and the 340!!😎🦆🦆🦆🦆🇬🇧

That'll be first gold out of Yorkshire Dales for 2022, lovely find guys....

[@TheMetalDetectingChannel]

Appreciate it matey, we have had a few spearheads and bits from the same area so you never know, maybe more to come :-) 😀

[@pinpointerpete5763]

Wow nice find that gold. Right iam of out with my 340 see what I can find. happy digging lads

[@TheMetalDetectingChannel]

Cheers Pete :-) happy hunting mate

[@baneverything5580]

That`s what it`s all about! We rarely find anything ancient here in America except arrowheads and pottery, but I did have an amazing three 14k gold rings day with an old mid 1990s Bounty Hunter machine. In under 35 minutes, maybe less, I found two very large men`s 14k rings and a smaller but not thin 14k 1/4 carat diamond ring. In the same hour I also found a 14k earring and old John Denver style 18k gold rim glasses. I was amazed! I found my first gold ring detecting with a Whites Coinmaster in the late 1970s, a heavy and wide 18k England Air Force Base ring with missing stone. It was very wide and thick at the top where the stone went. I found one dollar and 75 cents in silver coins that day too. I found a lot of rings with that detector in tourist areas and parks on Toledo Bend Lake on the border of Louisiana/Texas and usually found enough coins to buy a 12 pack of beer. In some places where quarters were thick and nobody had ever hunted I could find 20 dollars in quarters an hour if they were just under the surface. I poked my homemade digging knife in the ground, felt it hit them, and popped them out in rapid succession.

[@TheMetalDetectingChannel]

Wow great read pal, we've found a few rings over the years but not like that wow, shaun started out with a coinmaster :-) great little machine We don't ever find that much money even if we're on a beach where all tourists go hahaha we are too tight to drop so much 😅
