I love metal detecting, gold panning, nugget hunting, prospecting, off roading and exploring. I started metal detecting and exploring as a kid with my family whites coinmaster and have picked back up in recent years using various Garrett and Minelab machines. I plan to post videos of all my adventures and I hope you all come along with me! I am always up for any adventure! Remember to subscribe and stay tuned for future adventures!

How To: Find More Silver in Public Parks!
Переглядів 3,1 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I break down the top five locations to find silver coins in old parks. As many of my followers know I primarily hunt old parks. Most of the parks I metal detect have been hunted hard by 100's or even 1000's of detectorists over the last 40-50 years. I have managed to find hundreds of silver coins in these parks left behind by other detectorists. I wanted to pass along my experienc...

On this hunt Bob and I set off to detect some old parks and yards in Iowa with the Minelab Equinox. We were lucky enough to detect an amazing victorian house yard from the turn of the century! This yard had been hunted before but that did not deter us. We were able to find some great stuff that was missed by other detectorists including a bucket list coin for Bob!

I have one of these .never worked makes a signal but dont work
Why don't you get yourself a good shovel like the predator Phoenix you are working way to hard 😂
Ben, I recently tried the MT-XR and found nothing. I noticed it is very inconsistant as compared to the Equinox. I expect I will buy one for my grandson as a starter unit. At 15 he needs another toy beside his cell phone. Thanks for the video and looking forward to the next one. Bob
Love this channel. Where you at, Ben?
Good video. One tip: don’t drag the coil on the ground. You’ll get better results by hovering just over the surface.
Think I could join you on a hunt
I go to gold2, which I alternate with the field2 program and I have it set according to my profile, because of the sound for the given ID. I hardly use other programs, unless there is a more serious problem. The only thing that matters to me anymore is the correctly set recovery speed for the given location. I think this is something that many searchers miss. More videos about Recovery speed in the field would be useful for the minelab community. 😏👌
Dobrá práce 👍👍👍
What do you think of the Minelab Vanquish 250? I've seen quite a few reviews on hers of the Dr Otek saying it's rubbish at Pinpointing and very vague. This will be my first detector, many thanks Vivienne
I watched this video as I was looking at a cheaper metal detector just to see if I can do this like I did 40 years ago with an old radio shack detector…. This does way more than that one did back then
I been using field 1, but i been doing a lot of farm land exploring. I have not tried a park field yet. I still get nails and lead chunks, but i think going for copper coins that are deep it will happen.. Somtimes i wait for a lot of rain to soak the ground, and spots that i been over before i found new coins. I bet if the ground is wet, my equinox can do a good 7-9 inches, just have to slow down when you get a good blimp or a chirp on the machine and go over it a lot, then you can get the deeper targets i feel like.
We have an MT-XR I've done a video i found some nice bits, the wife's just got the MT-XE so we'll be doing same with that 👍👍 Just Subbed I'll check out more videos later 👍👍
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this detector. My son and I are looking to get one to go out and detect for hobby!
Watching the old vids Ben. Miss hunting with you.
Hi Ben!
Could I join you on a hunt someday
This video was a huge teaching tool. I just got one of these. Did a test run in my parents back yard and got a few signals like this, switching to 4hz really cleans those signals up. Thanks
Thanks for watching! So glad you found it helpful!
It sounds like the Atari game, Pitfall
i had one of these DrOtek detectors... turd does not begin to encompass the quality of it... laid a couple quarters and a gold chain in the front yard and it wouldn't detect them with the coil literally touching them... fortunately amazon returns work really well...
happens man end of the day its his property but as soon as he said anything about selling it. i probably would say well in that case ill let you buy a detector put in the time and efort to find them yourself. then bid him a good day and move on.
I'm finding the same items that the expensive detetectors find. $40 bounty from pawnshop.
Set the depth "ID" settings to "Lo" and "VDI" will stop jumping like a mad dog...
I’m new to this. Great videos. What disc are you using here? It says custom coins but I can’t find that disc.
Custom meaning I set the disc how I like it. I notch out certain segments that I don't like to hear or dig. These days I run wide open with no discrimination most the time. Unless the area is so trashy that I get overloaded with signals.
Is that just water in the spray bottle?
Yep.
a lot of crap did you remove iron and ring pulls ?
Hello Ben, to find the coins, do you always do a 360 degree check around the target before digging, or just a 90 degree? Thanks a lot!!
Always best to do 360 sweep. But I often dig after a good 90 degree sweep if it sounds really clean and signal is consistent.
Get a shovel!!
Are you running multi untill you get a odd signal. Or are you just running in 4khz the whole time? What are the disadvantages if you do?
I run multi most times and switch to 4k to check deep signals. But I believe in this video I was running 4k most the hunt in an area I had found very deep silver in the past.
Great video. Thank you
When in doubt, dig it out. Sometimes you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you find :) yeah
You do get into the feeding frenzy😅
What coin program are you using if I can ask ?😊
It is a custom program I set up.
How do you clean them ?
I clean silver with simple water rinse. Copper with water and then vegetable oil and microfiber towel. I tumble clad to clean.
How are u cleaning ur wheats they look amazing
I rinse them in water then use a little vegetable oil and microfiber towel to finish up.
Those are good fire spots those are the five spots at me and my dad check all the time and they always produce
Thank you!! I look mainly for deep coins, and was getting quite desperate how to find them, but this video really showed me THE trick to do it. Found a coin using exactly this method in my back yard. This with my Vanquish 540. Your the best, greetings from little Belgium
When digging that close to your finds almost always guarantees a scratch. Dig your holes a little wider and try and come up from under your target will be better. Thanks for sharing at 4 khz
BEN DID YOU GET A 900 YET? I AM CURRENTLY FINDING COINS I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIND WITH MINE.🙂
Not yet. I am very happy with my 800 and deus 2. Probably won't buy a new machine unless they release completely new technology. Most detectors now using multi frequency are all very close in tech specs and ability.
4:03 you didt know that? Listen
Nice job I don't use my 6"coil I got the 10 x 5 coilteck but u make me want use it wow
Thank you for giving an honest review,
Get back to that park when you can Ben!
I 'alternate' into 4khz when the bizarro signals show up. I generally stay in Multi so to not miss 12/13 nickels.
Just bought one off Facebook market off a old lady yesterday. Was having some trouble with the assembly. Appreciate for making this UA-cam video. Can’t wait to try it out!!!
That was a great and thorough review video. Thank you for your time and efforts.
Did you find 1916 barber ? I thought 1916 was mercury 🤷🏽♂️
Yes i have found many 1916 barber and mercury dimes. Both were minted in 1916.
I had this when I started out..bought a simplex recently and gave the Dr otek to a buddy.
That Pastor Bob character needs his own channel.
Is it too late to register for this?
Did you know your channel is running ads for that crooked Chicago Mayor? Just thought you should know.
Sorry I have no control over the ads UA-cam shows. I wish I did.
