+Regton Metal Detectors Thanks we have bought ALL our equipment from you and have been very happy with the service you have provided. All our future purchases will also be from you. We hear so many people comment on how helpful you are :-)
Looking to get started. Saw a couple of other vids, but yours was to the point, basic, and you have an enjoyable delivery. I've like and suscribed. Keep us informed. Thanks.
Great video for me as just about to get myself a detector and had no idea what to get , so will be getting the Garret euro ace 400i thanks for the tips dawn x
Great job Dawn. Thinking of folks that want to get into Detecting.Good advice.That bag look awesome. We have bun bag type which go round your waste and if you fill them full of finds they tend to pull you trousers down. Like the idea of a shoulder strap . Nice one Dave
david hopper That happens to Twiggy all the time, his pants are always falling off due to the weight of the finds and the fact his got no arse hahaha!! GL&HH DD
Top Video Digger Deus Dawn! I nearly bought a detector from ebay but I ended up buying one from Regtons, top service, best price and next day delivery!
absolutely brilliant and a good giggle.ive recently started detecting in France .i love it.great way to get out and exercise and great opportunity to build on friendships.......keep up the vids ..........and get off land ! lol :)
I started with a bum bag but have found it was to small. now I have a bag similar to yours but without so many pockets. When I detect for gold I use a back pack. not to put all my gold in (I wish) but I hang a bungy cord off it and onto my detector. Works a treat when your detecting all day. Cheers
Great idea Dawn. I learnt the hobby by watching Dave Relic Hunting Scotland & Pondguro. I was looking for videos like this @ the time. Well done, I'll watch & comment on everyone. GL HH Neil :-)
Coin_meister North Wales thanks Neil, I think sometimes its easy to forget the simplest of things that a beginner needs to know, it wasnt so long back I was clueless myself!
DetectingWorcestershire Im hoping thats the case DW I remember not so long back how clueless me and Twiggy were!! I went out on my fisrt dig with a pointing trowel :-( haha
Patrick Meehan I just want to help people who were in the same situation as me and twiggy when we started, we were clueless, it put us off detecting for years TBH :-)
Recovery tools......... Walk to someone's door to get permission with a full size shovel, "Not In my Garden"! Old as I'm, we didn't have pin pointers, we did the best you can with a detector, you can do a very close job if you take the time to learn the detector. Then your also less likely to damage your coins as well. Then with a 8 inch tool and a small plug, there's your coin. I'm only saying this because so many people are going to get in to detecting, How do they learn? UA-cam. Teaching with a video is a great idea, Learning to recover with little damage is also a great idea. In the fields and woods, the full size shovel is good. My heart breaks when I go to a place and see holes and damage. I have had people come to me and tell me of damage they have seen being done. It's a great hobby and I'd like to see it stay in good stand. I do love your video's.
KD8GIS Bruce This is the reason for my videos Bruce! Im starting at the beginning and im going to try and instill good ethics and the legalities of the hobby, the people who make a mess and just dig anywhere in some cases are uneducated MD's that dont know any better, they are the ones that spoil it for us all, so if I can answer their questions and give out basic info it may go towards helping a few get it right! :-)
hi dawn guess wat ive got my detector woooooooooo.. but i aint got a spade oooooo ive seen one for under a tenner but its a micro one ..looking at yours i take it youve got the same . just a question .. now im not tall ( although i tell the wife im 6 foot) is a spade with a 27 inch in length ok for the job im 5 .6. colin
+carper1325 Great stuff Colin!!! woohoo! The spade you have seen is good for a starter spade and loads of people have them! Mine lasted about 10 months and then it snapped, I wouldnt worry about the length and your height. If you want to buy a more expensive spade there are loads out there, however you do need to take the weight into consideration when buying one. I currently have a Fiskars long border spade, and its fantastic but it cost around £30. Chuffed for you, bet your dying to get out there!
+Digger Dawn Hi Dawn I'll prob go with the one I've seen its only small but they say in the guff its got a 99year guarantee !ol so it,should last me OK
+mark duncan I think garretts are excellent starter machine and many people have started off with one. I would say the 150 is good, but if you can afford a little bit more the 250 would be the better machine to buy!
You might say that I'm to young but I'm 14 and want a metal detector to find coins and stuff but I'm not sure about laws and where to start in general.
+CamOrigamiandmore Hello your not too young at all. We are going to be giving away a new detector in a couple of weeks to someone in the uk under 16. Keep watching out for it. We have lots of helpful videos because we were like you a couple of years ago. We didnt know how to start either!
REDBEAM58 Dear Redbeam, have you got a Roman button on your detector I think it helps, I havent got one on mine and I think thats why I havent found one either!!! :-)
LoL Thanks Dawn I will check, I might have to send you and Indian then you can throw it down and trick Twiggy again now that would be some thing to see. Take care my friend GL=HH \_

DetectingWorcestershire Im hoping thats the case DW I remember not so long back how clueless me and Twiggy were!! I went out on my fisrt dig with a pointing trowel :-( haha
great video dawn think that explains it well :)
Derek Naylor Thanks Derek Im trying to answer very simple things for beginners, Ive had so many people ask me things recently!
My Garrett pointer does not make my eyes go bigger and mouth open wider when I put it near me. Is mine defective?
Try changing the batteries, if it doesnt make the eye widening happen then, send it back its broken ;-)
Great video. My god you will have us all it . Very interesting hobby.
Patrick Meehan I just want to help people who were in the same situation as me and twiggy when we started, we were clueless, it put us off detecting for years TBH :-)
Thanks for the advice 👍🏻

Digger Dawn it looks like a very well kept garden. Lots of work.
digger dawn do you think a garrett ace 150 is a good starter metal detector to start out with?, i was thinking of buying one for a starter detector
+mark duncan I think garretts are excellent starter machine and many people have started off with one. I would say the 150 is good, but if you can afford a little bit more the 250 would be the better machine to buy!
thank you, i will save up more for the 250 then
