    Great outing, D. Willy. Great setup with the Patrol, on a decent hill crest you can see clear to Wodonga. The three prong buckle, fabric and buttons, with the bigger fastener, maybe off overalls style dacks that denim jeans evolved from. So cool of Mick to share his stash, I'd forgotten what year the Sydney half was, that's our lip of the bucket-list, 1855, any of the 50k minted, a handful, please. Ninja leaping backwards out of trees, laughing, out of sync to the audio, of course, going over known paying grounds, his jaws be hurty from glee. Onwards, happy swingers!

    Not as creepy as finding human remains I’ve found human skulls and bones when I was exploring a old abandoned candy factory… I’ve gotten use to morbid stuff from exploring I’ve found tons of messed up stuff 10000x worse then that

      Wow mate, that would be horrible discovering someone's remains. Disturbing even... pretty horrible that there was only bones left. Pity they weren't discovered earlier. Atleast these were only casts of teeth... 42 of them. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'

    Great vid Mate. I am looking to buy my first metal detector that I want to use for gold prospecting and treasure hunting. I have the opportunity to buy an X-Terra 705 for $169 or a Vanquish 440 for $349 here locally. What are your thoughts on that for a first detector? Regards, Jas.

    • @Swingin_wit_Willy
      @Swingin_wit_Willy 4 місяці тому

      Thanks jasntrace. In all honesty if you want success on the goldfields I would honestly try to hold off and get a nox 800 with a 6 inch coil. They have fallen in price alot. The vanquish doesn't have a gold mode and would only disappoint on the Goldfields unless you manage to swing over a chunk of gold... The 705 is capable but very hard to get used to for a beginner, this is due to the lack of settings around the prospecting settings. This video was honestly 5 years in the making, I bought it for the same reason but struggled to find shiny, spent 6 months solid chasing it every weekend. Once I got the nox I was poping bits out left and right over ground I had previously swung over with the 705 and that was from day one. This ep was the first time I found it on my own, and the last with the 705. But I wanted to prove it is possible... So I won't try to sell you a detector, just give you my thoughts based on experience. They will all find it but spending the extra money really does increase your odds. Hope this helps. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'

    • @Swingin_wit_Willy
      @Swingin_wit_Willy 2 місяці тому

      Hey there anwarsghir, to be honest I am not sure. I have never used a Garrett machine so I can't tell you. What I can tell you is the more that you spend the easier it will be to find the shiny. I have absolutely killed it with my equinox 800 and a 6 inch coil. It has found bits down to 0.006g which is tiny. But you also need to learn your machine. Hope this helps. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'

      Cheers for watching Tony, I have only ever used the vanquish once myself, in this video as my nox was away for repair. I certianly have no issues with the vanquish, it's a great beginner level machine with most of the bells and whistles for half the price of the nox. I have already recomended these to people who want to start out. They are basic in thier settings but just as sensitive as a nox. I was truely impressed. Hope yours finds you many more treasures.
