How To Metal Detect || The Complete Beginners Guide || TOP TIPS Metal Detecting || Become A PRO

thank you! i've always dreamed of detecting and bought my first today. heading out this weekend for my 53rd birthday. xo from the US!

My sister just bought an 1780 farmhouse.... Time to get started. Enjoyed your video.

What a brilliant video for newcomers to the hobby like me. Thank you so much for making it clear, concise and interesting.

Lost my wedding ring while skinning a deer in the forest. I suppose i am now involved in a new interesting hobby. Will update when i receive it! Good video. Thank you.

I used to be a member of a local archeology group that did metal detector taster sessions. The main difficulty I found beginners had was keeping metal objects well away from the coil when searching and recovering finds, leading to false signals and confusion. You didn't really cover the technique for pinpointing with the detector to determine the exact location of a signal, so as to avoid damaging finds when digging. I have noticed that a lot of experienced detectorists on youtube (including you) allow the spade to point inwards at an angle when removing the plug, which can lead to hitting the find especially when its deep. I hope I haven't been too negative here, the video was a good starting point for new entrants to our great hobby.

I'm thinkin' about getting into detecting and saw your video was for beginners. I thank you so much for your instructions. I've learned enough to tell me that I can do this, I'm disabled, and it won't bother me physically. Thanks again "Duke." You've set me on a good path to follow.

Going metal detecting for the first time in May. My mother has 22acres of land and we’re going to explore! Great video 🫡

Just bought a detector. Thanks for this very useful upload.

Good to see you trying to help the newcomers with some sound advice.I had to learn from scratch but having detected over 25 years I think I am well versed in technique.Having said that I have just pulled up my first Gold Stater,what a thrill.

I am just about to buy my first detectable and have been researching the hobby. This is the first video I have looked at and found it really useful. Thanks for putting something like this up for detector virgins like me. I will be looking out for your other videos. John

Thank you for the lessons. I received a metal detector as a gift. I bought a pointer to go along with it. I contacted a friend that has a large parcel of land that is fill dirt brought in from elsewhere. He told me to come explore and retrieve.

That was a very thorough introduction to metal detecting. I will be taking away: diging three quarters round the hole to use the grass roots as a hinge to put it back and the deeper the find, the older the find. I'm glad you put in "You will need patience, just keeep going and don't give up" I know from experience people watch a twenty minute video and don't realise that it was six hours of metal detecting ? Cheers mate you've given me a lot to think about, as I start metal detecting and probably saved me a lot of trial and error making stuid desisions 👍 I look forward to watching more videos and seeinng how YOU do things.

You were one of the tubers I watched to learn, along with Liam when I first started 1 year ago. Great video and thank you👍

I just happened upon this video and the total video from the presenter to the production quality and info has effectively made me adopt this hobby

My boy (9) has been wishing himself a metal detector for ages, just bought him one. Going to share your content with him. Loving all the tips!😊

From South Africa, thank you! Always wanted one and finally got one in midlife. Now to get out there for all of that lead and pull-tabs!

Thank you for making this video, I have been detecting since March and now its July so 4 months. I knew everything on the video but it was a good review and verified I have been doing it right. Wish I would have had this from the beginning it would have saved me time! Thanks again, I will look for more of your video's.

An excellent introduction to the reality of metal detecting, I'm about to begin this hobby and was very encouraged by your video!

Thank you for taking the time to make the video. The thrill of finding something lost is an exciting draw to be sure.

Thanks for posting this video , it has helped me a lot 👍
