This is what relic hunting is like most of the time. long video and was an hour before I made a good find, but you have to dig all targets when digging a Civil War site.
this is the most honest representation of detecting ive seen yet everyone thinks they are gonna go out and find gold and silver every other hole and think there is something wrong with their detector after the first few hunts bravo for throwing it out there like it is enjoyed the vid
+chris hagerty , thanks so much. I know a few people who are ready to leave if they don't find a silver coin in the first 30 minutes of a hunt. Thanks for watching and good luck to you. Mike
Very well put. I must admit that because of those impatient beginners giving up, I have scored a few good deals on barely used equipment. Getting into this hobby with the intention of "getting rich" is nothing but fools gold. I enjoy retrieving old objects, coins, etc from the ground and my first thoughts when I have an item in my hand are who the last person was to carry, wear, use what I have pulled from the ground and how long it has been there waiting to be found. I really enjoy the look on peoples faces when I tell them how deep in the ground the finds were dug. This is a great hobby.
+Brian Rader , The anticipation of what you might find is part of what makes this hobby fun. 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck with your digs. Mike
Thanks +CrossBow206 . It's typical for my dig to start this way. I have a shorter video set to post June 6. It's after I found a decent area after my camera glasses died that day. Thanks for watching. Mike
These days if I get a silver coin on a hunt that makes my day even if I don't I still enjoy just getting out, and putting the coil to the soil!! Thanks for making the vid I enjoyed it.
Hey Mike just found you channel, great videos...from a fellow Arkie. I had to get out of the parks and fields was not finding anything old, the oldest coins I found were dared in the 70s which tells me the old timer detector boys cleaned them out a long time ago. I started knocking on doors of the older homes to get pernissions and BAM! I started finding IHPs, silver, tokens, and my favorite...Relics. I guess the old timers did'nt knock on doors. Keep on making your vids and HH
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. Another thing I've heard other folks say is that they don't dig nickel signals, so there should be some Buffs and V's still out there. Good luck and thanks again.
Thanks for watching Darren. Sometimes watching all the videos here make it seem like everyone finds great things in every plug. Just wanted to show it's not always gold and silver even when it's a decent signal. After the battery died in my camera glasses, I found an area and made some interesting finds and that video will post June 6. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Mike
Yup, watched the whole thing. Kind of like some of my hunts. However, I picked up on some good tips on how you work the T2. Looking forward to the June 6th post. Find some good stuff!
Mike thanks for your videos,,,,God bless buddy...! I detect the Beach when I get that way, and I know about digging trash. The more trash you dig the more treasures you find....
So true. Hours and hours of can slaw, pull tabs, and just plain garbage . . . all for that one rare find. Yeah, sometimes these videos are so misleading. But that's the power of editing. :)
+Jon DAVID , I think it would have to be a good investment. I have a NEL storm for my AT-Pro and love it. I'm not sure what they do differently, but from my experience and what I hear from other people, NEL is the way to go. Thanks for watching and good luck. Mike
Normally you just need to balance the machine to the ground minerals, but the machine in this video doesn’t save previous settings, so I have to set it up every time I turn it off and back on.
Good job showing the new guys what its really like! When you are at a site like that, dig everything!! I see the new guys saying that then discriminate iron. WHat?!?! I Liked and Subbed, please return favor. Thanks, GL & HH
if you ever want to go on a hunt with someone new my name is dustin im on youtube as well under dustins collecting and detecting...just check out my channel and message me and ill give you my number and we can go sometime
479 689 9016 thats me man i hope we can meet up and find some cool stuff i got some good spots all around me id be willing to show you ppl dont metal detect in my town so there is plenty to find lol
good video truth will last . digging trash comes with treasure at some point. digging less or no trash wilk give youa modern coin most of the time. one can buy a expensive detector lets say a 600 up to 1500 dollar unit .. bit it will not guarantee treasure. or less trash. discrimi out what you not like .. means litterly , throw away your gold and deeper coins. indeed it is a lit of work , especially the digging part. in my humble opionon , if you want to start the hobby ,and are a devoted person who want to do things good .. then dont go for a budget detector , make ugly holes ,and sell the thing within a month for half the money.. try to save some money and but at least a 300 dollar machine . a tesoro , whites , fisher , or a second hand minelab . doing it like this gives you the option of become a serious detectorist with capable material. i am not able to look in anyones wallet and i say this not to distespect those unable to buy a u it of at least 300 dollar.. i saying this to help only. it is a besutifull hobby , especially once devoted . save your money until uou can buy a unit off 300 euro minimum. a good beginning is half the work i have tried the 1000 dillar machines and learned that there is no need for. go to a goof and decent detector shop for a visit . go back a second time wih 300 / 600 / 900 euroon your acount and take him with you. start only if you want to make this a serious hobby please.. i get sometime frustrated seeing such a amount of badly digged and unclosed holes or plugs .. in parks , beached , everywhere.. when starting , start responsible and good And keep this beautifull hobby alive for now and forever. decent equipment is a pat of it . it is not all gold what shines. as a matter affect we are trash diggers .. hunting down the occasional treasure.. treasure as in a nice find .. not as in 1000 dollar worth coins.. these are extremely occasional.. but tat excitement alone must be enough for you. thanks for sharing.
+Masita atisam , very true and well put. I especially liked what you said about us being trash diggers with occasional good find. Thanks for watching. Mike
Ditto , if doing it for making $? Better off and easier working at Wal Mart as a Greeter.. I gave up after 3 mos.. Got tired of being the Janitor for others,,And are People Slobs and Trash Lovers..
These days if I get a silver coin on a hunt that makes my day even if I don't I still enjoy just getting out, and putting the coil to the soil!! Thanks for making the vid I enjoyed it.
I know what you mean. There is so much competition in my area, it's hard to find any spots with any silver left. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Mike

That bit at the start is so true. We did a lot of trash, a lot of trash! but it's the only way to get to the good stuff.
If you dig enough of it you will be rewarded with some really nice finds. Thanks for watching.
The T2 is the Terminator in the field of metal detecting,,, tryed the XP Deus,,, and i got say,,, I LOVE MY T2
Enjoyed the video buddy
+Digging Deeper , You are so right. I have other machines, but I just can't stop using my T2. Thanks for watching and good luck with your digs. Mike

Enjoyed the video well done
Thanks so much.
Foiled again! Hey, thanks for posting the video to show it's not all that easy to find the goodies. Love seeing the T2 in action! Take care!

I agree. And to me that one good find makes it all worth it. Thanks for watching. Mike
Good job
Thanks so much for watching. 😁
Dig everything at a Civil War site. You don't want to miss any of those foil gum wrappers do ya?
Thanks for videoing the whole hunt. Boring but useful to newbies like me.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad it was useful. Good luck with your digs. Mike
U dig 90 percent trash 10 percent good you never know what next target is.
like!good luck!
Thanks so much.
What is your thought on a nell 9,5x5,5 sharpshooter coil for my T-2 to the factory 11 in dd?
+Jon DAVID , I think it would have to be a good investment. I have a NEL storm for my AT-Pro and love it. I'm not sure what they do differently, but from my experience and what I hear from other people, NEL is the way to go. Thanks for watching and good luck. Mike
Thanks Mike, Keep the videos coming .luv em.
so every time you move to a new location you reset the detector..?
Normally you just need to balance the machine to the ground minerals, but the machine in this video doesn’t save previous settings, so I have to set it up every time I turn it off and back on.
Looks familiar...xx
+Pandora UK , lol. Very familiar to me.
Good job showing the new guys what its really like! When you are at a site like that, dig everything!! I see the new guys saying that then discriminate iron. WHat?!?! I Liked and Subbed, please return favor. Thanks, GL & HH
Thanks. Will do. 👍

if you ever want to go on a hunt with someone new my name is dustin im on youtube as well under dustins collecting and detecting...just check out my channel and message me and ill give you my number and we can go sometime
Sounds good.
479 689 9016 thats me man i hope we can meet up and find some cool stuff i got some good spots all around me id be willing to show you ppl dont metal detect in my town so there is plenty to find lol
Awesome. Also I subscribed to you.
good video
truth will last .
digging trash comes with treasure at some point.
digging less or no trash wilk give youa modern coin most of the time.
one can buy a expensive detector lets say a 600 up to 1500 dollar unit ..
bit it will not guarantee treasure.
or less trash.
discrimi out what you not like ..
means litterly , throw away your gold and deeper coins.
indeed it is a lit of work , especially the digging part.
in my humble opionon ,
if you want to start the hobby ,and are a devoted person who want to do things good ..
then dont go for a budget detector , make ugly holes ,and sell the thing within a month for half the money..
try to save some money and but at least a 300 dollar machine .
a tesoro , whites , fisher , or a second hand minelab .
doing it like this gives you the option of become a serious detectorist with capable material.
i am not able to look in anyones wallet and i say this not to distespect those unable to buy a u it of at least 300 dollar..
i saying this to help only.
it is a besutifull hobby , especially once devoted .
save your money until uou can buy a unit off 300 euro minimum.
a good beginning is half the work
i have tried the 1000 dillar machines and learned that there is no need for.
go to a goof and decent detector shop for a visit .
go back a second time wih
300 / 600 / 900 euroon your acount and take him with you.
start only if you want to make this a serious hobby please..
i get sometime frustrated seeing such a amount of badly digged and unclosed holes or plugs ..
in parks , beached , everywhere..
when starting , start responsible and good And keep this beautifull hobby alive for now and forever.
decent equipment is a pat of it .
it is not all gold what shines.
as a matter affect we are trash diggers .. hunting down the occasional treasure..
treasure as in a nice find ..
not as in 1000 dollar worth coins..
these are extremely occasional..
but tat excitement alone must be enough for you.
thanks for sharing.
+Masita atisam , very true and well put. I especially liked what you said about us being trash diggers with occasional good find. Thanks for watching. Mike
thanks for youre repliy
take care
T2 vs an AT PRO?
If you don’t care about not being waterproof, the T2 is deeper, faster, and more accurate than the Garrett.
Diggin Arkansas Thanks for the very fast reply.
Your welcome. 👍
Diggin Arkansas Just FYI I purchased a T2+ and am learning from other T2 owners here on UA-cam. Thanks and God bless.
You are very welcome. Good luck.
I sub maybe you hit 1000
Thanks so much for the sub. I just checked. 999 right now. I hope you enjoy the channel. I’m going over to sub yours now. Mike
Ditto , if doing it for making $? Better off and easier working at Wal Mart as a Greeter..
I gave up after 3 mos.. Got tired of being the Janitor for others,,And are People Slobs and Trash Lovers..
No content. Did you give up hunting??
No. Must be a UA-cam glitch. Thanks for checking on me. 😁
These days if I get a silver coin on a hunt that makes my day even if I don't I still enjoy just getting out, and putting the coil to the soil!! Thanks for making the vid I enjoyed it.
I know what you mean. There is so much competition in my area, it's hard to find any spots with any silver left. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Mike
