Good advice. You really do have to research what exactly you're getting as "extras." Back when I ordered my Etrac from Big Boys Hobbies, they sent me all high quality items in the bundle including a Lesche digger, a Garrett Pro-Pointer, the good Koss headphones, and a very nice Minelab detector carry bag. I use a leather carpenter's pouch for my finds that will basically never wear out.
Those are some killer extras! Sadly, those days are gone...
Just ordered my D2 from Heath. Be here on the 16th...
Awesome!
Unless the Vanquish 340 put in the 10inch coil cover on buying just the metal detector that is the only one that I know that did not have a coil cover for the price you pay. But I do agree some of the lower end detectors with a package deal have garbage for those things. plastic shovel you can buy one at wal mart for like a $1. I bent a metal hand digger first hole. But when you do buy a higher end package deal I feel you get better add-on's. Other then that good Advice..
The main thing is to buy from a dealer, not SCAMazon or the other online sources. My Manticore and Equinox 900 were much, much cheaper through my dealer. Thanks for watching!
I ordered a deus 2 for black Friday, and my dealer threw in a bunch of packaged stuff for free, didn't even tell me, it just showed up with my detector, included was Finds bag with belt Gloves Nylon/wire brush on a retractable lanyard Cloth digger sheath Keyring Car air freshener And most importantly, glad he didn't forget this, a lucky pulltab 😂 cause the brand of all the stuff he gave me is called "pulltab gear" The finds pouch actually looks okay, it's definitely deeper than my grey ghost ultimate catch all pouch, but I don't like the layout quite as much, not sure what I'm going to do with it, maybe keep it as a lender if anyone wants to detect with me sometime The digger cloth sheath is ever so slightly better than the sheath that comes with a lot of diggers, but I have a leather sheath from grave digger so I guess the cloth sheath will be a lender too The pro pack for the triple score is actually kinda good, great price and you get the better smaller elliptical coil and a pair of headphones, that's all, no shitty digger or shovel or anything Even diggers that should be good can be shitty, I forget if I paid $50 or $70 Canadian dollars for a Garret digger after I broke my first Amazon special, and I broke the Garret within 6 months too, I heard the Nokta digger ain't much better Right now I have a Excalibur Shovels digger and I'm really digging it, but I'm under no impression it might just brake one day too, so I keep another Amazon special in my backpack, hopefully if I break my Excalibur it can last me till I order another good one, been looking at the predator hand digger for my next one I do like when pro packs come with a baseball cap though, I have both a simplex and a legend baseball cap, and also a Minelab baseball cap, though not all of them came with a pro pack, my deal has thrown them in as freebies before And speaking of cheap equipment, the nokta backpack is HORRIBLE quality, I've had both straps ripped off the body, within a short time period too I didn't even have it long, I sewed both them back on with dental floss and it holds better than factory now, I had the adjuster clip break on the bottom of one of the straps, I tied the two straps in a knot and now that strap isn't adjustable, I had a hole wear into the bottom of it, but that might be because I used to put my shovel in in sharp side down, I sewed that up with dental floss too, and now finally my zipper broke, going to add some Velcro to keep it closed next But now that I have a deus 2 I can buy the XP 280 backpack which looks really high quality, hopefully I don't have these issues with it, but it's expensive $200 Canadain dollars, but if it doesn't break it will be worth it
The Garrett diggers are well known for being junky. Good tools are made by Predator tools, Grave digger tools,etc. Glad you got a good deal from a trusted dealer! Happy hunting.
👌
Gotta be aware!
Awesome insight! I’ve just subscribed! I’ve just started a small channel myself and a sub would be really appreciated! I look forward to seeing more videos soon 💪

This video pre dates me figuring that feature out. It's definitely useful!
ty for the advice

My dad has property up by Big Rapids and there’s an old burned down Farmhouse on one corner that I’ve been detecting the last 2 summers! One part of the field my detector continuously reads at 88-94 and I never find anything! I think it may be in the soil or rocks! It’s in one of my last videos I did! I have found a lot of kool old stuff there so far!
Which detector are you using?
@ it’s a Quest
Quest x10
It's probably slag or bits of unburned coal from a furnace. Unfortunately an unavoidable nuisance.
After concerts especially in the lawn sitting areas.
As long as you have access that's a great idea!
Thank you for making this, you are good at explaining in a way I can understand and remember.
That's exactly my mission! Thank you for the support, and good luck to you.
I have the XTerra Pro. The only reason I'm thinking about upgrading is because of the bouncy VDI on the Pro and I'm looking to dig less trash. At the same time, I hear more expensive models have some of the same issues. ie: the Equinox 900. I also go to the ocean once or twice a year and would like multi-frequency.
Bouncy numbers usually indicate trash. Listen to the tones. Digging less trash comes more with experience and practice than with an upgrade. Check out my video on how to dig less trash. Multi frequency is definitely a plus on wet sand. Good luck!
I wanna see how people use coin probes
Almost nobody does anymore.
I've started using one about 8 years ago, it's the best shovel in the world for metal detecting the man's right. Such a beautiful plug most time you don't even see it.
Glad to hear you like it!
Shovels are good. A plug that falls apart is bad.
And they rarely do for me.
That’s a very clean plug
Just how I like them!
Nice I have the predator piranha. I expect it will outlive me.
George Lesche is a true craftsman!
You are degrading those coins. That erodes the surface terribly.
Only the zinc Lincoln cents. None of these coins are collectable or old. They are all going back into circulation.
I gotta an old soccer field by my house that was there in the 70’s. Don’t know how old it is. Soccer field has been removed so now it just a big empty field, I wanna go detect that but it’s in a bad bad neighborhood. Kinda need a flak jacket & helmet type of place. 😞
A lot of great spots are in dangerous areas. Gotta go in the early morning when the criminals are asleep!
Love it, thanks for the tips
Glad you like it! Happy hunting.
I find lots of jewelry on my active soccer fields …… last month I found a Large 18 K gold cross ….. a 14 K gold diamond Ring inside the soccer goal…..what’s nice is you come back in 6 months and it’s replenished with new jewelry 🎉…….Thanks for sharing
These places can be a real gold mine. Nice digs!
Check by the shade of that tree.
I always do when I come here!
When I was a kid there was a park with six baseball fields with bleachers. We would find coins and paper money, keys, unopened beer cans and more. No metal detector needed since we could not afford one. 100% honest fun.
I wonder what's in the ground there now?
@@freedomdiggersmetaldetecti8964 The park is still there with baseball games. I should check it out.
Use your worthless clad to buy silver if that's your thing. Fun and profit...
For sure! Lots of folks do that.
You can probably get the double score for the price of the regular score if you price compare some
My dealer beats any advertised price, but I'm not looking. Very impressed with my Equinox 900.
💚✝️💎💎👍👍👍🫡
I love mine
Did you get the Score or Double score? Lots of people love these machines.
@@freedomdiggersmetaldetecti8964 I got the double score from Amazon for cheaper than the score 1, about 350 usd. It was discounted from Amazon but not used or damaged at all
I pulled a sterling ring with 5 diamonds or stones with it yesterday at a tot lot, and a lot of fresh clad it’s paying for itself!!

Aww shucks! Thanks
When I get EMI I like how I can go from multi-mode to single frequency and the EMI is no longer a problem. I’ve been playing with the FE setting but not really noticing any difference. Nox 900
Doing another noise cancel and dropping sensitivity is how I handle EMI on my 900.
Thank you Jim for always looking out for the beginning detectorists. Shared to FB in hopes of spreading this good information.
Thanks for the support!
Awesome vid, always great info👍👍👍
Thanks for watching & checking in!
Great info jim, shared on my fakebook page. keep up the great work brother.
I appreciate that Sir!
Watching from Finland. Greetings from a fellow detector!😊
Best of luck my friend!
It is a cool trick and its 99x safer
Indeed it is!
If he was using enough butter it would have spilled
There's actually almost half a stick, but it's spread on the bread prior to cooking.
@@freedomdiggersmetaldetecti8964 smart
I'm a huge fan of using plenty of real butter!
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Or you just flip it like anormal person and go about your life.
I have 2 Whites Coin Master GTs both started acting funny within a month never used them again.Cant wait to do this I had no idea those came apart,always assumed it was sealed to protect the coil. Got 4 machines in total yeah winter project gonna start Thanks Boss.
The coinmaster GT coil is one piece. There is no cover to remove. I started with one myself.
@@freedomdiggersmetaldetecti8964 guess that eliminates that from my trouble shooting list.Any suggestions as to what might be next to check for that messy signal all the time
@BHM711 Try fresh batteries and make sure your coil connection at the control box is tight.
I have done very well on the sidelines of soccer fields, people often take off their jewelry before playing and put it by a sweater or towel and then forget to pick it up after the game. The yard sale thing is also something I do as often they are moving out and then they think " what the heck why not before we leave ? "
I love a good soccer field. Heading to a few right now! Thanks for watching & good luck.
whats the website as i can't seem to find it

Thanks Gwen!
I don't know why someone don't make that whites trx again-i have 2 -it's amazing how deep it goes
I agree. It's also extremely accurate. Thanks for watching!
What digger are you using?
That's a Predator tools "original" model 85. www.predatortools.com/collections/handtools
Thank you. Good to see you again.
Thanks for checking in brother!
Welcome Back, Sir!
Thanks a lot brother! Been a while. Life got crazy, but things are on an even keel now.
The last 7 permissions I asked for were all no's. I think its has something to do with being a Yankee in the south.
Maybe. I have a video on here about getting permission on private property. Check it out. Remember that if you never ask, they're all a "No". Good luck!
You should take this video down. I can not believe you just told people to tresspas. Going on someone's property without permission is agents the law. It's people like you that give metal detecting a bad name. Won't be long and you will ruin schools in your city also
You're just jealous because I thought of this first. By the way, it's spelled "Against "
Read the code of ethics. Pos
garage sales are great, ask if they are moving,,, empty homes on the market, are one of my favored places to go to..
Gotta be careful with that one!
Yard sales? No, I don't think you'll get many bites on that
Actually that's my main source of permissions. I've had at least a dozen this year alone from talking to homeowners having yard sales.
Well whaddya know? Hit some yard sales this weekend and got 2 permissions! One is a house built in 1894!
