Metal detector search coils

[@daveb7999]

Thank you for sharing your expansive knowledge of metal detecting Gary! Finding your channel is like finding gold. 👍

[@cbidigginit7565]

Thanks Gary I’m from cape Breton Nova Scotia your video is very helpful keep them comming thanks again

[@therrienmichael08]

I saw a picture taken of Gary at Meyers in Tampa. I'll be living in Florida starting early September. It would be a thrill if Gary did a meet and greet or put on a presentation.

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

I know Phil and Ive been invited to a few detecting meet and greet gigs but unfortunately they were in filming season. Hopefully this winter

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

Im hoping I have time to hang out on the West coast of Florida

[@MrLemonBob]

Thanks Gary theirs treasure is in the informatio

[@georgereichle7998]

Hey gary i really enjoy the curse of oak island and thank you so much for the info on detecting you are a big hero of mine i just cant get out so much any more because i have kidney failure but when you are on tv i feel like im right there with you

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

Aww thank you so much I really appreciate that. Cheers Gary

[@Jaxx_The_Thing]

I was inspired to get myself a metal detecter because of course of oak island. (Your my favorite person from the Shoen by the way). And the Bruh for my birthday I got a pin pointer.

[@MsPeewee66]

Great video! Still learning and loving my new hobby. Getting a little better in the water. Thanks for these great tips. Your knowledge is endless.

[@idigdaytona4478]

I always tell people Minelab could have put any size coil on the Equinox or any of their other machines .They do a lot of testing on a machine before it is released to the public, They are going to put the best performing coil on the machine . If you want more coverage , stretch out the length of your detector shaft. You will cover more square feet with each swing . Good to see you back Gary.

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

well put

[@oliviasmith7044]

I was just in vero beach for the past four days and thought of Gary Drayton! Visited the McCleary museum and wondered how many items you had contributed. Thanks for searching!

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

I visited the museum a few months ago, they have some really nice displays

[@davidfrazier1186]

GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheMarcvir]

Gary, I'm from Brazil and always watch your videos, congratulations for the job, cheers!

[@usmc3386]

So happy to see ya back on here man. Please keep it going. Learning a lot from ya. 👍

[@Theolesouth]

Great advice. Thanks!

[@Whadaa72]

Sure has been a great learning tool. Dug probably 600 coins this summer on my nox 800 but funny just bought a 6 inch coil. I dont even use the pinpoint mode on the detector because I learned the coil and machine. Thanks for the video!

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

It took me a while to warm up to the Nox and now I love it

[@ferrousgrump]

Excellent video! I more often watch videos to learn a thing or 3 instead of the common watch over my shoulder as I dig up targets! Cheers!

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

Great bit of advice buddy

[@alexhalterman5278]

Very interesting video. I purchased the 15 inch equinox coil to use on a beach in Florida this April but now I am second guessing myself. I will attest to the small coil working in trashy areas. I found a 1918 liberty half at a site I metal detected several times with a larger coil but the ground minerals and iron made it impossible to hear the good tones.

[@mikebloodworth9258]

Stumbled on this Video Garry while searching out if I should go smaller or larger for Beach detecting as finds most is surface or just below. Looks like I will stick with my 11" DD on my Manticore having upgraded from the Nox 800. Love your hunting on Oak Island :) Have you tried the CTX3030 in the Gold Fields and compared to the Manticore in Prospecting mode. Cheers

[@jbkhan1135]

Good info, Gary! Thank you!

[@GoneDiggin]

Coool. They are engineers not people who dig. Also a search coil depth is generally related to its size. A 17inch coil will dig a 17 inch deep target. Don’t get me started on PI machines

[@larryy6467]

Larger coil gets deeper targets. Go deeper

[@curlyjos]

Great video! Thank you!

[@markdixonmetaldetecting5098]

I tend to keep my detector standard at the moment

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

wise choice

[@NFHRR]

Great video.informative

[@GetTheBeepOut]

Very good info Gary!

[@h.w.h.6732]

Great video Gary. I've seen people as well with massive coils. Here in the states we don't have as many Hordes of Treasures for those giant coils.

[@ginodejesus9302]

Hey Gary long time no see I guess oak I land kept ya busy. Thanks for the tips.

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

Yup

[@thedeanisin256]

How bout DD vs conceration coils PROS AND CONS?? Love to hear your take, Cheers, Godspeed.

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

The choice of DD or Mono search coil really depends on the ground being covered. As a general rule DD search coils work better over highly mineralized areas and mono search coils get better depth over non mineralized ground.

hi Gary!

[@navydogsadventures3500]

Hey Gary, Sam from Washington St. Hope you are good brother! I need to get one and start treasure hunting!👍

You should!

[@gordoncole6989]

Hi Gary,
When are you back on Oak Island for series 9?

[@marcshea8921]

Sir, so if we am looking for small thin gold chains ⛓️ with my Equinox will the 6" coil be more sensitive locating them than the 11" ??? Thank you.

[@tminer2110]

so what are the big differences between newer and old metal detector . I have a really old garrett ground hog vlf/tr . I just play around w it and have used it for the property lines.

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

surprisingly little has changed over the years

[@randyvfromtheperch]

Gary, I need some help setting up basic discrimination on my CTX. Any DIY videos that show how to do it?

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

Hi Randy, yes I will publish one soon showing my settings, although I use very little discrimination. For example the pattern 2 of the preset Beach Mode. that is just enough to cut out small iron and help make crusty non ferrous objects sound worse. Cheers Gary

[@randyvfromtheperch]

@@internationalmanofhistory1077 perfect - thanks Gary. Look forward to it!

[@Downeastwaves]

Thanks so much! Considering upgrading my old Bounty Hunter (which I love and find lots if neat stuff) to a Vanquish 540. Debating on getting the pro setup with two size coil's. Your thoughts?

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

Good choice! I tested the vanquish and its a great bang for the buck metal detector. good luck!

[@Downeastwaves]

@@internationalmanofhistory1077 thanks. Did you get both coils or just one?

[@Downeastwaves]

[@parispzon1516]

Gary, did you say, "winkle out"? Haaa 😂 (Does that mean sound off or make a sound?)

[@internationalmanofhistory1077]

That means being able to enhance a signal or simply sniping out a good find in for example an iron infested area

Y are you recommending one thing in your books, but in your videos u change it up? You make this really questionable?
