Great video. buying my first detector this month and have been watching videos such as this for some tips. I'm aware of the crown foreshaw permit but did you need permission from anyone else (local authority etc) for beach detecting? Thanks
Cod you possibly recommend a metal detector that' within a teenagers budget? Theres a huge beach in Devon and I want a detector to find stuff under the sand.
@Rocktecho There are different metal detectors for different purposes. Ones for gold prospectors don't work well for looking for coins, and vice versa. You would want one with a smaller coil most likely that is good at detecting through sand and finding jewelry and coins.
Great detecting technique and very interesting to watch but please please please slow down your camera panning/jerking to give viewers the time to look at what's going on when dealing with close-ups. It's very uncomfortable watching the close-ups and just a few seconds of 'hold' on the subject would make your videos even better.
thats really good is that, just took up the hobby with my son, took it out yesterday on my front garden and found 63 p !! ime hooked already. great vid thnx very much uploader.
Hi mate nice job! i am in Scotland and so crazy for start it., so could you help me? i searching on Ebay for a machine metal detector and in there found manys could you recommend on type of machine? i am just beginner so sorry about my english grammar, because it is not my first language.
hey, just a question, do you have scratches on your metal detector, i am not so good in english. but i mean do you have those scratches on the circle, how you call that?
erm.. hello i'm thinking of metal detecting myself...but i live in Bastogne (Battle of the Bulge place) and there was a huge war here back in WW2 so i'm kinda affraid for mines... do i have to worry about that?
This is amazing, and I loved every minute of it, I live near some old Hillforts in North Wales, and have always been interested in history and metal detecting ! So you never know. Many Thanks :-)
Went prospecting in the bush with a metal detector last month. I found something really big! I was wandering around for a couple of days and not getting anything, found an old tin can. After another couple of days the siren went off real loud and told me something metal was under the ground. I dug away the dirt and guess what I found at the bottom of the hole - a buried metal detector!
Nicely produced video, very interesting. Just wondering, do the quality and quantity of finds vary on different types of beaches, i.e. sand, shingle, rocky shore?
great stuff! I just added your video to my site. Looking for my insight on this ocean or water detecting. See my video on my first detecting at the ocean in Oak Island!
@bluehock24 Go to the park. Try soccer, football and baseball fields. You'll find lots of loonies and toonies very near the surface. When you search the field, go slowly back and forth and go slowly to make sure you don't miss a spot. You'll also find a lot of pennies, but when you hit loonies and toonies it makes it worth it. You might also find some gold and silver rings. Try to find old fairgrounds in your area. You'll get silver coins there. Check the woods in parks (for old coins)
Hi gary can you please give me some on advice on settings for the beach for coin hunting for the etrac i have done 4 outings so far about 3 hours at a time on different beaches all i have come across is beer cans,ring pulls etc
Hi,good video,thanks for posting this ! Im thinking of getting a Metal Detector.I know that to use a metal detector on land (e.g. a field) you need the landowners permission,what about the beaches in the UK ?,...are most of them public beaches where anyone can just turn up?Hope to hear from you soon,happy hunting !
@Posthuman7 Yes you can! I have found several mobile phones on the beach, but none of them will ever work again after they've come into contact with seawater. Gary
hi only been detecting for few weeks,had loads of coins and two gold rings. so just like to say thank you as watching your videos gave me loads of tips.....
and to reply to 1ukjunglednbraver "i thought it was illegal to do in spain" well it depends of comunity. There are seventeen autonomous communities of Spain, each one with his laws about metal detecting, but in general as long as you do it in public places, beaches or in lands with the permision of the owner it is ok. You can't do it into lands that are of history interest, archeological sites you should be member of your comunity asociation of metal detecting to know where you can do it.
hi ... again ... my reply is a little late (only 8 months)... but here i am ... again :)... i did that family metal detecting day me and my son and we got 2 coins and 2 Rifle Cartridges from ww2 also a button from that period from a spanish army coat.... a day to remember. Anyway.. since then my son got a big jar full of coins and a chest of antiques... and his stay-on tab easy-open ends just passed 1000 hehehe ....unlike me ...i only got 6 gold rings and 3 silver rings & 2 gold nicenuggets
@Heliman96 For all you need to know about getting permission to search UK beaches google "crown estates metal detecting" and open the top result. Gary
@Heliman96 Hi, thanks. You can search in most places, but every piece of land has an owner and you must always have that owners permission. Among the places you cannot search are scheduled ancient monuments and sites of special scientific interest.
nice vid cheers for it. im thinking about buying a metal detector but have no idea what to go for or anything about them. it looks like a good hobby. any tips?
@LakeHighiii It doesnt always work out like that, the sands shift with each tide and finds often accumulate far from where they were lost, there are very strong currents here (14 knots between high/low tide) as this beach is at the mouth of a large river estuary. Gary
arite gary ive just got meself a detector and taken it up. only found 1 coin so far still getting used to it ! i live in torquay and havnt had as good finf on our beeches as in your video!! are you in a club? do you ever go detecting with anybody else ?
@MrWalliswallis Hi, No I'm not in a club, the meeting times and weekend club outings are inconvenient for me. The key to success on the beach is finding the hot-spots where the shifting sands deposit the coins and rings, there must be loads to find at Torquay somewhere. Good luck. Gary

Hi Gary great vids really enjoyed them .just a quick question I was about to buy the E trac but nigel at regton said they where not good in wet sand but you dont seem to have a problem . trouble is there seems to be information overload regarding detectors now so confusing would appreciate a shove in the right direction Ed
@5050zulu1 Hi, thanks Ed, in my experience the E-Trac is excellent in all challenging conditions including wet sand and I've never heard anybody say anything to the contrary, so I have no idea why Nigel would be telling you that that (maybe he has a better profit margin on other detectors). Good luck, Gary
awesome! i live in a very old house so my land has lots of treasures. i would love to find any type of ring, i just need to find the right area. i love metal detecting! great vids!:)
hi gary got the etrac used your recomended setting working great thanks just one thing how do you set to minimal iron mask thats the only bit got stuck on cheers
@suityousir2006 Press the QuickMask button, then use the down arrow to slide the black bar down low near the bottom of the screen, use the left button to remove the black bar on the left, then press the Detect button to go back to the main screen. See the instruction manual page 32. Good luck. Gary
Hi Gary - excellent video and thanks for posting. You have inspired me to finally trade in my clapped out XLT and go out and buy an E-trac. First dig with the new baby this weekend - wish me luck! HH
Hi Ady, thanks a lot, best of luck to you, like any machine it will take a few sessions to get used to the E-Trac. You'll find the E-Trac is brilliant in high trash areas, one part of this vid that ended up 'on the cutting room floor' was me showing the huge iron girders and stuff submerged under this beach, but I still had no trouble picking up the good targets. HH, Gary
hi there think your video is a real inspiration and has now made me want to buy minelab etrac but could you please let me know the settings what you personally use for land and beach many thanks happy hunting
I wish I was at your place !!!! we don't have much old stuff here since coins don't date that far. I will make a video to share what I can do , do to your video !! I feel more confident because you !
hi gary, whats the e - trac like at picking up different metals? i.e coins, silver, gold? i am interested in buying one as this seems very good but metal detector reviews vary from every site, a personal experience is best i think. thanks
Hi, the E-Trac is very good, very sensitive. It's particularly good at finding good targets next to large junk and in high trash areas, it would easily spot a buried coin next to an iron bar. It gets a very strong recommendation from me, the E-Trac's not cheap, but as is often the case you get what you pay for. Gary
Hi. Thanks, It's a Sony SR10 40gb HDD camcorder. I bought it from Argos clearance bargains on eBay about a year ago. Edited and rendered with Sony Vegas. Gary
Thoroughly enjoyed the video!,.......given me some ideas where to try on my local foreshore.
Please can you tell me if you have ever found hammered coins from your beaches as I have yet to find one,I use the Explorer II in All metal using ferrous tones,I often wonder the reason I don't find any is because they have been eaten away by electrolysis as some of the pre decimal coins I have found are wafer thin.
@ORDOVIC Hi, I'm very pleased you enjoyed it. I've never found hammered on Exmouth Beach, the oldest identifiable coin I've had from the beach is a late 1600's farthing. Conditions are similar here, silvers found on the beach are in a very poor state compared to those from fields. I use a small amount of iron mask, no other discrimination, there's big iron everywhere under that bit of beach, my personal preference is for conductive sounds. Good luck. Gary
Nothing like finding your first ring/piece of gold, i was very lucky and found about 4 clumped together a few years back.
One of them was a mens signet ring the others were mourning victorian rings with jet stone, 2 of them were broken, but the thing with gold is it comes out of the soil like the day it went in, great feeling and good finds there sir :)
@Ganbareg Wow, 4 together! Very well found. I agree, it's an amazing feeling when you pull out gold, still looking as good as new, and on the beach you're usually thinking 'he we go, just another ring-pull' at the time.
Yer got me thinking though, were they stashed by thieves/robbers back in the day, i mean finding one ring is hard enough but 4, never to be repeated i think :)
Love the vid, nice to see something from Devon, sounded like R2D2 on crack so I'll stick with the Garrett Ace 250! Awesome, thanks for posting, all the best.
Hi, Thanks very much for your comments, I'm glad you enjoyed my videos, watch out for a new recording due to be uploaded in the next couple of days. Gary
Nice vid Gary ,just one question do you recheck the area after digging your targets as often things get missed this way

Hi Gary great vids really enjoyed them .just a quick question I was about to buy the E trac but nigel at regton said they where not good in wet sand but you dont seem to have a problem . trouble is there seems to be information overload regarding detectors now so confusing would appreciate a shove in the right direction Ed

@5050zulu1 Hi, thanks Ed, in my experience the E-Trac is excellent in all challenging conditions including wet sand and I've never heard anybody say anything to the contrary, so I have no idea why Nigel would be telling you that that (maybe he has a better profit margin on other detectors). Good luck, Gary

suityousir2006 1 year ago
@suityousir2006 Press the QuickMask button, then use the down arrow to slide the black bar down low near the bottom of the screen, use the left button to remove the black bar on the left, then press the Detect button to go back to the main screen. See the instruction manual page 32. Good luck. Gary

Hi Gary - excellent video and thanks for posting. You have inspired me to finally trade in my clapped out XLT and go out and buy an E-trac. First dig with the new baby this weekend - wish me luck! HH

Hi Ady, thanks a lot, best of luck to you, like any machine it will take a few sessions to get used to the E-Trac. You'll find the E-Trac is brilliant in high trash areas, one part of this vid that ended up 'on the cutting room floor' was me showing the huge iron girders and stuff submerged under this beach, but I still had no trouble picking up the good targets. HH, Gary

hi gary, whats the e - trac like at picking up different metals? i.e coins, silver, gold? i am interested in buying one as this seems very good but metal detector reviews vary from every site, a personal experience is best i think. thanks
vela0887 1 year ago
Hi, the E-Trac is very good, very sensitive. It's particularly good at finding good targets next to large junk and in high trash areas, it would easily spot a buried coin next to an iron bar. It gets a very strong recommendation from me, the E-Trac's not cheap, but as is often the case you get what you pay for. Gary

Just waiting to get a camcorder so I can post my own. Happy hunting. Regards Dogman

@GlennLane1 Hi Dogman, thank-you very much. That's one of the best beaches in Devon you have there, best of luck to you, Gary.

Hello Gary,
Thoroughly enjoyed the video!,.......given me some ideas where to try on my local foreshore.
Please can you tell me if you have ever found hammered coins from your beaches as I have yet to find one,I use the Explorer II in All metal using ferrous tones,I often wonder the reason I don't find any is because they have been eaten away by electrolysis as some of the pre decimal coins I have found are wafer thin.
Best regards

@ORDOVIC Hi, I'm very pleased you enjoyed it. I've never found hammered on Exmouth Beach, the oldest identifiable coin I've had from the beach is a late 1600's farthing. Conditions are similar here, silvers found on the beach are in a very poor state compared to those from fields. I use a small amount of iron mask, no other discrimination, there's big iron everywhere under that bit of beach, my personal preference is for conductive sounds. Good luck. Gary

Nothing like finding your first ring/piece of gold, i was very lucky and found about 4 clumped together a few years back.
One of them was a mens signet ring the others were mourning victorian rings with jet stone, 2 of them were broken, but the thing with gold is it comes out of the soil like the day it went in, great feeling and good finds there sir :)
Ganbareg 1 year ago
@Ganbareg Wow, 4 together! Very well found. I agree, it's an amazing feeling when you pull out gold, still looking as good as new, and on the beach you're usually thinking 'he we go, just another ring-pull' at the time.

Yer got me thinking though, were they stashed by thieves/robbers back in the day, i mean finding one ring is hard enough but 4, never to be repeated i think :)

@Protojoe912 Hi, to be honest it was pretty easy that day, the hardest job is identifying the hot-spot, once you're on it the finds are plentiful.

Love the vid, nice to see something from Devon, sounded like R2D2 on crack so I'll stick with the Garrett Ace 250! Awesome, thanks for posting, all the best.
