Why I Dig ALL Targets | Fast Paced VdI & Target Reveals Only Video

I dig all targets while grass metal detecting with the Minelab Manticore metal detector. Not all trashy targets are trash! Only showing the Target ID's & Finds in this video.
This was an interesting way to film and a great way to do a realistic VDI test with unknown targets vs their VDI's

[@patdelahunty6328]

One of the best video's I've seen on metal detecting. I like the way you show the VDI's and get to hear the tones. The 50 finds in quick order sure reduces my armchair fatigue. Do some more like this at the beach when you get a chance.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks for the input.... Yeah, this style has its place.... I have been getting mixed reviews which is expected. I will do a beach one when it warms up a bit...

[@digginggopher]

I think it's good for shorter videos, maybe split a 50 hole hunt into five 10 hole videos, and release one every 2 days, the only potential problem is you'll have a bunch of videos with no good finds

[@erebus9622]

I just got a beautiful sliver bracelet metal detecting north Seattle two days ago. Before I go out, I usually watch your videos to inspire me to hunt! Thank you again for your amazing videos

[@DigginSoCal]

Nice.... now can silver go up in value... Thank you very much

[@lancepeterson5408]

I like that fast pace style showing the screen. A lot of guys talk about how they don't use the VDI and just go by tones. And i think if you do that, then your missing out on an ability to really know the targets even better before you dig them. Why wouldn't you use the VDI along with the tones to be even better.... Great video!👍👍👍

[@DigginSoCal]

I think detecting by sound is old school. We have the tool so why not use it? I totally agree

[@Jack.jr.]

This is a nice format for quick videos!!!nice ring!! BUDDY IS STILL THE STAR OF THE SHOW!! ..keep up the good work 👍 💪

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... it was kinda fun editing this one....He sure is and if you ask him he would say its true.

[@AB-ye7bw]

Really like the quicker paced hunt once in awhile. All of your videos are amazing.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... much appreciated. Not a regular way to do things but it was kinda fun and I thought it would help those who were learning this machine. We will be hunting together one more time this year and we are planning on trying another idea... one park without editing the video... yikes

[@probono1330]

Best ever. A LOT of know the machine, and really want to see fast vdi and digs showing target. Thanks for NOT swinging over the target for 3 minutes!!

[@marshallj2415]

Nice ring! Great year Bill! I ended up with nine gold rings (retail $20,000+) down here in Oceanside. Best gold beaches in America are in Cali for sure!

[@DigginSoCal]

Nice... I think we have 13 gold items (not all rings) but did not figure out a retail price... that is so awesome and yes, we are so lucky to have the weather to hunt year round... Happy New Year and best of luck in 2024

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Christine & Bill, That was fascinating hunt just show how things work out. Not all gold and silver but you found two nice rings.' Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... it was fun changing it up and I am looking forward to seeing how many rings I have found in 2023.... haven't counted them in a while

[@DiggingItBack]

Congrats on the two rings. Those penny's VDI were all over the place .

I have a Manticore and this helped! It was like doing a hunt with out stressing my knees!

[@DigginSoCal]

LOL...glad I was able to help... It was a good refresher for me too but not my knees, back hip...

[@brucedyer646]

Rare find on Christmas eve - one hole dug and 40 quarters pulled out. Reckon someone lost a roll of quarters. Dating from 1965/66 up to 2002. Definitely made my day🤗.

[@DigginSoCal]

Wow, that is a really cool score. I bet you were excited

[@championsp]

Detecting in a school yard abt 15 yrs ago found a roll of pennies, pre zinc. no wheaties, using Explorer II...

[@wschempp9701]

I have the Manticore (the main machine now) & the 800(which has paid for itself) so I enjoy the video as I do with all your videos.

[@DigginSoCal]

Awesome... I like them both but as you can tell, I have been using the Manticore more than the 800. I will keep going back and forth with the two and of corse we will also be using the Vanquish and XTerra Pro.... I was thinking about the 900 but probably not worth getting since I do have the Manticore.... Maybe in the near future Minelab will come out with a must have new detector again...

[@allenboudreau]

Another day another hunt always fun watching you an try an guess what you are digging😊

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... was an interesting way of showing the VDI/finds...

[@sweetdiggz]

Great video, Congrats on the rings! It was interesting to see the VDI's on the rings. I also agree to dig everything, you just never know!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... I think I have pulled 5 rings from those 4 soccer fields so far... nice.

[@1948bigd]

Hello from Alabama. Love the titanium ring. Keep the videos coming.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much....It was a nice surprise when I dug it up

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Sweet hunt, yes. Maybe with each detector people could actually see what they may be missing by not digging all targets👍🤓👍and a round about range of vdi each rings. Keep in mind each person's soil is based on different mineralization 👍, but the vdi's will be in the ballpark range👍😜

[@DigginSoCal]

You make a great point about the soil... It was a fun experiment but wow, much more editing...I have already been asked to try it with the 800

[@PAPAROUSwhatsinthedirt]

Good morning Bill. I couldn't hunt that fast Lol. Nice ring! I like the puzzle. GL&HH!!!

[@DigginSoCal]

Well, to be honest the editing made it look a lot faster but I was moving rather quick... Happy New Year and enjoyed hanging in the live!!!

[@AuDive0]

I actually enjoyed this type of detecting. Numbers and the finds are what detecting comes down to. But i am a guy who enjoys reading technology books 😄. Regardless. Your finds are always exciting. And the energy you and Christine bring to your channel is fun and quiet humorous. HAPPY NEW YEAR Bill & Christine. Thank you. Much ❤️& Respect, Gregg 😃 👍 & Sarah 😊

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much... we will do this in the future with some other detectors as we have gotten a few requests... We are looking forward to a fun 2024 and I really want to get Christine out more but wow she works a ton. Happy New Year to you both!!!

[@Looter8TreasureHunter]

Obviously the best find was the tent stake. Tyler calls the crusty pennies Mummified Pennies. Cool puzzle.

[@DigginSoCal]

Absolutely...lol. That is a good name for those pennies... I have so many pennies I can't use

[@CCWarrior6]

This was a fun change of pace. I was guessing on every hit to see if I could get them right! Fun times!

[@DigginSoCal]

Nice..... hopefully you got a good score...lol

Congratulations on the rings Bill sweet park hunt thanks for the video

[@DigginSoCal]

You are welcome.... thanks for being here!!!

[@VintageLPs]

I love all your hunts including this one! It’s good to change things up on occasion. That abalone and zircon ring was GORGEOUS. Great puzzle but how did you keep Buddy from messing around with it? 😻 The sound of cars flying by in the background of your vlog brought up memories of January, 1967, when I moved to California from rural Montana. Two girlfriends and I shared a 2nd floor apartment that backed up to a freeway near San Francisco, our first exposure to freeways and unending noise. I almost get anxiety when I realize how many years have passed. Enjoy each day.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much. We had to keep the door shut when we were not around. Can't trust the little bugger. 3's company in SF.... nice but not the noise. I lived in the bay area from 82-87 and worked in SF for a bit. I just went up there for a football game and wow is everything in the cities to the south of SF over grown and congested. I guess we are getting old my friend. I wake up sometimes thinking I should be at work... nope retired so go detect...lol

[@rebeccat.4175]

LOVE the quick hunt. Shows the # and the find real fast.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks.. that was my goal. Was a bit more work editing but fun

[@buffalokrisgoldprospecting]

Right on brother. Another awsome hunt. I can't wait till spring.. the grounds all frozen up here so I can't do any hunting . At least you scored a ring. Rings are always a fun find

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks. I can't imagine having frozen ground.... was a fun hunt and it is always exciting finding rings

[@mrs.m7079]

I really enjoyed this style of video. I don't have that machine but it doesn't matter. (I don't suppose you have a Garrett ace 200 laying around you want to showcase next) I like the quick to the point info & the fact that you showed everything not just the cool stuff. Appreciate you showing how you grid too.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... happy you liked it. I don't have the Garrett sorry... I may do some additional grid work in the future however. I have an idea

[@timtoth7086]

Very fun, definitely a change of pace.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... it is interesting to try new ways.

[@Wilton925]

I really enjoyed the first part of the video, let me practice in my head what VDI numbers correspond to which targets on my Equinox 900. Thanks again for the video.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks.... I will probably do another one in January with the 800... It was a lot more editing but I had fun making this one and I think it can be helpful

[@patrickdolan.]

Same target IDs on the 900 and manticore. I have a 900. Everything he dug up was on par with my numbers on the 900.. Use the 900 with the small coil and it's a killer combo imo

[@cravinsunshineNW]

I loved you throwing in this kind of video once in a while… it was great that you showed the screen, then number, then finds I have a manticore so I like you using that machine… 😉

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks for the input. It can be helpful. I felt I even got a good refresher and sometimes I forget VDIs.

[@terryblais9128]

I like this format.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... it was kinda fun doing this one

[@ExpertPullTabFinder]

Great video today! I have a Manticore and loved seeing the numbers and the VDI. Most videos I've seen tend to show the numbers after they dig the finds up. I would love to see more like this, but only when Christine can't make it to the hunt. 😁

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... I had wanted to do this for a while... It is a good method when wanting to show the info regarding the finds but yes, it is more of a thing to do when we can't hunt together. Speaking of that, we are going to get out one more time before years end... Happy New Year!

[@metaldetectingwithrocky1901]

Best vid ever showing the number with the item!!!! Compared to pirate Mike who just says high/low tones

[@DigginSoCal]

Not only does it help me but it is a good way to show the VDI's, hear the tones and know what you got. I thought it would be helpful although not a benefit unless you run the Manticore.... already been asked to do it with the NOX and Xterra

[@MarksTLC]

Interesting format. I did miss your comments. Decent clad collection. I love the rings. 🎉🎉🎉 That mangled piece looks like the bottle from an inhaler. lol. Can’t afford a manticore. Vdi video with a simplex plus would help me, but I’m likely a minority in that regard.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks.. Yeah it is not a style that we would do often. If I had not given the Nokta detectors away, I would try with the Simplex. That metal sure could have been an inhaler...

[@billbraski2452]

I didn’t mind the format because it was quick and showed many targets and what they rung up as. My Wife got an Xterra for Christmas and it would be great if you could do one for that detector.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... I am sure I can do that in the near future... it does help and I feel it was a good reminder for me as well...

[@CanSlaw]

Hey Bill ,Good video, Go back over the same area with the Simplex Plus, I like that video concept . Thanks for sharing!

[@DigginSoCal]

Good idea but we gave our Simplex away a few months back. Thanks and I may have to try with one of the other Minelabs we have...

[@scotreece5795]

It was pretty good but you were pretty quick. You showed that you need to dig everything. By the way... that's one BIG CAT. Stay safe and have a blessed day

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... just an experiment but yes, I hate skipping any target. I just checked and Buddy is 13.3 pounds. He was about that same weight 3 months ago so I am glad he is not getting fat but he is all grown up

Nice hunt Bill. Need to do another hunt with the Equinox before the end of the year like this one :) Yeah

It will probably have to wait until after. Christine and I will be hunting tomorrow and wow the year is over. But I do plan on trying it with the 800

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... that is what I was shooting for... It was even a good refresher for myself. I may have to do it with my 800 either for own benefit or another video down the road

[@Brenda.727]

It wasn’t my favorite style of hunt (you did ask 😜) but I don’t hunt with the Manticore. But….that RING is so gorgeous and you literally said I don’t know why I’m digging this….should be a lesson to us all. Thanks for all you do Bill to share your detecting life with us. I really do love your channel. Happy holidays to the 3 of you! 🐈‍⬛

[@nvmetaldetecting]

I enjoyed a little fast paced hunting every once in awhile. I like seeing some videos I've got a 900 now I bought a couple weeks ago so they're closer to the manticore vdis. Definitely a learning curve from the 800 when zincolns show up from 53 to 65

[@DigginSoCal]

My friend just got the 900. I need to meet up with him and check it out. I thought about upgrading the 800n but with the Manticore I am not sure if I should or just wait until the next generation comes along? Thanks, making this video was last minute and kinda fun.

I think it's cool to switch up the style every once and a while. If you have a Legend and run it through a VDI/find format like this I'd like to see it. Since the Legend only goes to 60, I'd be interested in seeing similarities and differences.

[@DigginSoCal]

We gave away our Legend but I will check with my friend at the detector store... maybe I can borrow one and try it. We downsized our detectors this summer and gave away several. Thank you

[@52Mirza]

Yes I did like the way you did that so I can know the numbers. I would like you to do the same with another detector. But longer. This was one was too short. I too love doing puzzles.

[@vernowen2083]

I have the 900 and the VDI's are almost identical. I do get a lot of nickels in hunted parks, as most skip the pull tab numbers, which is the same as big gold rings.

Hum.... I am amazed. I have seen a couple guys who fly down the beach and they are only looking for gold... How easy it would to miss cool stuff.

I appreciate seeing the manticore numbers. Way different than XP Deus 2 numbers. But nonetheless, I enjoyed watching.

There's a big difference in VDI numbers compared to the 800. I'm guessing that the 700, 900 and the Manticore all show the same VDI?

[@DigginSoCal]

I am not sure about the Nox VDI's.... I will have to see if the changed the 700/900 to 100 or if they stayed the same. That would be interesting to know

[@lancepeterson5408]

What was that black ring made out of? It's interesting being so high like silver. Most every ring i have seen titanium, stainless steel like that is down around 25-55. So that is really interesting. That titanium was a beautiful ring. That seemed like a really clean field.....

[@DigginSoCal]

I am trying to figure out that mystery. I checked again and the ring comes in at around 86. I scraped off some of the black which came off fairly easy and it was even bubbling a bit in areas. I tested it with silver acid and 18K acid. Failed both times re: silver???? I may have to take it to a buddy and see if they can figure it out since he is a jeweler. Crazy.

We no longer have the Deus... Although it is a good detector it was not for me... I did not care for it personally. We switch up between the 4 Minelab detectors we have.

I was in "All Terrain Fast" which is my favorite mode and the recovery speed was on 4.
