Hey Beau.....i finally retired after 41 years...i watched a lot of your videos. My wife bought me a AT Pro for retirement. Still have to get a shovel from lowes...loved your shovel video. Now I need to find places to dig.👍
I'm still using the machine I could afford at the time. Whites DFX. I know, I know...all the pros tell me to upgrade and I will when I can afford to. To me, though, this machine is priceless. It gave me and my daughter the love of detecting. She's 7 now and i've had this thing 10 years longer than I've had her. And it still finds things. Thanks for your great entertaining videos.
Just ordered a Garrett AT Max bundle with your link - thank you for all the helpful videos!
Thanks, I appreciate that. I know you'll enjoy it.
Well Ching are you a teacher by trade? Your method of explaining is just what the metal detecting makers could ever hope for.Thats a compliment.I use a whites coin pro but I think I might be getting the A/T Max I have enjoyed your river and creek expeditions. I hope you. Stay safe while doing your searching. Of the real things I had on my mind is now blank take care
Thanks Aqua Ch. You've answered a lot for me in that short vid. 👍
I have both Minelab Excaliber and the Fisher Cz-20. I've
been land hunting and diving on and off for more than forty years. I’ve had White’s
machines and I’ve used Garret machines and they are all very good manufacturers!
If I had the money, for a great land machine, I would buy a White’s V3I, this machine has polar
mapping-discrimination, that’s incredible! Unless my Minelab is broken, I will take the Excaliber over the Cz-20 every
day! And by the way the Cz-21 is almost identical to the Cz-20! The proof is in the gold, I've found 3 times as much gold
with the Excaliber, also more diamonds, but that could just be luck! The
Excaliber it is easier to set-up, lighter, battery pack is so much better (
longer lasting and versatile) I have make custom battery packs which last 3.5
times longer than stock! I’ve also made my own custom hip mount and coil
changer, so I can use the largest Coiltech coils available. Once you get used
to the very wide range of tones and also using the discriminator dial, I can
identify the metal or coin about 75 % of the time before digging. The one draw
back of the Excaliber it doesn’t pin point as well as the Cz-20, but considering
all the time spent digging junk when using the Cz-20, versus pinpointing
issues, As a water or all whether machine, it’s a no brainer, Excaliber is the
way to go! P.S. Both machines are rated to 200 ft diving depth ~ 6 atmospheres.
I’ve not gone below 60 ft with my Excaliber! Also No Leaks!
I just subbed earlier and I love how commutative you are with the audience. The videos I have watched so far are really cool and you are very enthusiastic and am looking forward to watch more. :)
You found one of the best channels! Aquachigger is my favorite!
I really love how this channel has evolved. all great educational stuff with a bit of wit. thanks Bea,....er,..."Chigg".
Beau I have Garrett's Ace series, I have used Whites, I use T2 SE now. I like them all. it boils down to where you walk. I have done well over the last 30 yrs hunting relics not as good as you but maybe someday I'll catch up. Great job love the videos
my final decision, since they are almost the same, is to buy the Garrett. American made is really great to me. Any small feature differences, including wireless or a couple of ounces in weight is less important. The wireless unit doesn't appear to be as rugged and long lasting looking as the well built Garrett electronics. I bet the Garrett will still be working 20 years from now! All the old ones still do!
Thank you for taking time to explain detectors! Enjoying your channel!
You probably know this, but just in case... the Deus coil is waterproof, but doesn't work underwater because the radiowaves can't travel through water. You have to buy a special 'wire' to un-wireless it.
well done mate !
also i like the stacked wood as an backgroud , cool man!
i'm a deus man , love it alot but i had to hunt and learn 6 months to get the best out of it , by not using discrimination and on full tones you can here every different sound and after a while you recognize the good from the bad easly , w/o digging iron.
i the beginning i dug some fair amout of iron too , as iron has like 4 different sounds on the machine , i call the sounds sputters , farts ( sorry but thats the bestcomparrison),high + 96 buzzing high sounds and extreem high sounds with vdi zero =surface iron.
i like to hear iron as it tells me where a settlement or old farm has been .
i love square nails ,last place i found like that revealed 6 silver medieval coins.
sometimes coins came under 2 big nails , at reactivity at 3 and silencer -1 the deus is king on nail infested ground !
when on newer ground with alot of aluminium junk it gets harder to hear or make up the difference between coins and aluminum round and ball shaped objects.
then a minelab ctx does a better job i think.
grtzz from a deus head john
I have used my CZ as my go to beach machine for awhile now and I love it. I don’t dive but I like that it is quite rugged. I now have an AT Max which seems to go deep but I haven’t tried it on the beach yet. Great videos. I love this channel. Keep up the good work and happy hunting!
Aye, you are correct about the Hand Salute. It was one of the first things we learned, when I went to US Navy Basic Training, and we learned the history of it also. Great video!
My understanding on a salute is also to show that your hand was away from your weapon and that you were not a threat.
Thank you for making this video, I had been wounding this for a long time about what one would be best for diving. Please keep up the videos.
Glad I found this clip. Always wanted to buy a metal detector but never wanted to get a cheap one and I don't really know which ones are good and which ones are crap. I am a huge history buff and this is a hobby I'd love to do just never really knew where to start, so thanks for the insight on these machines.
Boy, you have it made!
Awesome video as always man! Do you have any recommendations for a good quality budget detector for starters?
Thanks Beau for replying back to me. Can't wait to get started.
Yeah , an AT Pro/Gold comparison is a must . I was looking to get one for water hunting . But don't know enough to make my decision . I had a Minicab CTX 3030 , but thought it was over rated , and too much $$$$ overkill for what little I was getting . I like Fisher detectors too , but I will not be diving (Just wading to 5 feet) , so the AT series looks like a better option for the $$$
+AmericanCoinHunting Another vote for a Pro vs. Gold video. I have many hours on the Pro, and love it - would be interested to know what benefit the Gold would offer for hunting colonial land sites where there are a lot of heavier-end metals - lead, pewter, etc... especially in the form of buttons. What finds would I expect to see more of (or less) with the AT Gold?
+AmericanCoinHunting The garrett site says the gold is NOT made for the oceans, saltwater but the pro IS! I have been lurking on here for about a year just watching and learning. Next week, I order my pro!!!! I live at the beach/saltwater and also live around several battle areas. Can't wait!
+Diana Zambory Yes, technically the AT can be used on saltwater beaches, but it doesn't always perform well... it really depends where you live. Where I am in Maine, you have to manually push the ground balance way down, use the little 5x7 coil, and drop the sensitivity by several bars to avoid chatter. I own a couple Minelab machines as well which run very smooth and quiet on wet sand - that is not the case with the AT. That being said, there are certain iron infested areas of beach where I use that AT setup and do quite well... so it'd very site specific. But to summarize, there is no substitute for a true saltwater machine.
BB_in_ Maine my AT Pro works great when I was in Myrtle Beach a couple weeks ago and works great at my home beach in Gulf Shores,Al. Not as good as my dfx which is multi frequency but it does really well for a single frequency unit.
AmericanCoinHunting I
looking forward to the pro vs gold comparison aquachigger!
Yeah soon please
4 years and counting
Another Oscar worthy performance sir! ;) and might I say that's a right nice looking wood pile...looking forward to the field comparisons! I'm getting a machine for spring so I can try to be the Canadian Beau! lol. Thanks for the time and can't wait for the next video!
Great video Beau, looks like you have me beat with two extra machines.Love all your videos, especially the narration this is what gives your channel substance even when you're goofy. Look forward to the comparison, maybe do a quick in ground test with one object with each machine at full sense to see how they compare and perform.
You've inspired me to go out and explore the world around me and buy a metal detector. I've watched your videos many time and they are are amazing content. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!
Beau ~
Like many others, I asked 'what's the best machine' - for Central Coast California - and for light 'coin' and stream work, rather than deep gold or (what?) relics. This video has helped quite a lot, thank you. DAL-K
Just got the new Garrett AT MAX last week. And a Whites Surfmaster Pulse on the beaches also
How do you feel about White's products?
A great video! Nuts and bolts lessons are always appreciated. Well done! Thank you Sir.
I have used the Deus for over 2 years now Beau and it's a great machine, made some stunning finds and it's paid for itself probably ten times over by now. Look forward to some river action with it this year. All the best, Rich
+RICHBISS Metal Detecting You've found over $19,000,00 worth of relics?????? Lucky
+get in you did your Math easy wrong
+sup jones $1,899.99 X 10 = $18,999.99 or rounded up to $19,000.00. Depends on where you've purchased your Deus and what you paid for it.
great roundup,,, thanks very much
Hi Auqachigger, you should visit Amsterdam. We have a lot of old canals. I bet you'll find lots of treasures. Also, you should contact national geographic, or discovery channel. This River Treasure thing you've got going on has much potential.
I have to ask what do you think about the Whites metal detectors .
Great idea for the flowchart. That would be a very helpful tool. Thanks.
Hello aquachigger . I made a unusual and drastic choice : I never use any vlf anymore ! They all are neither not powerful enough nor sensible enough on small coins targets ... My only choice for inland : Whites TDI SL : Very powerful even on very small stuff and most of all it knocks out iron very well by creating a detection whole on iron thanks to a manual setting . So I can cover a gold coin with nails and still have a clear and crisp response of my coin . No vlf can do that.... Garrett seahunter mark2 when I dive deep: Very powerful monotone pulse induction :rugged all terrain pulse induction power . No need to ground balance this machine . Just turn on and punch deep !
Garrett atx on the beach : Most powerful pulse induction all terrain machine , and fine coarsed settings possible .
I hate the gpx 5000 ! : Not water proofed ! No global search mode !!! You always loose targets and get cheated with complicated settings !! 5000 box for an all hanging around machine !!! Never ! What a mess !! The battery on your belt ! then all the cables hanging around ... I do not know where I could find a single quality to that way of looking at metal detection . Have a nice day .
There is no best machine for every situation :) I personally run two machines VLF (XP Deus) and pulse (Whites TDI). Both are great when conditions are right.
I have a serious amount of titanium in my back. Rods from the s's to the t's on both sides. The exrays look like a long step ladder. How will this work with a metal detector?
Thank you again for an informative and educational video. Appreciate the effort!
Thanks for the information Beau. I have been watching videos for the last 6 months to see what I would like to get. I don't have a lot of cash to put in a detector right now but I did get me a Garrett Ace 250 to start off with. I like the Garrett brand so I went with that. I think for starting out that this will be a good detector. Great video and I have watched all of you videos and I love how you teach. Thanks for what you do and I look forward to your next video and look forward to maybe meeting you someday because you are my mentor.
I know what machine I like best and use but my only question to you is in a day to day land hunt lets say coins and jewelry would it be fair for you to say the XP Deus kicks the AT pro and golds butt on depth sensitivity and discrimination?
Owww if those machines could tell stories ☀️Ty for great and honest advice ☀️I have found some cool things digging and it's a adventure each time!! Ty for info and inspiration ☀️blessings to you and yours from Kentucky
I'm enjoying your adventures. Kevin
As a 22 year old woman with no interest in fishing, metal detecting or anything else that features in your videos - I'm strangely addicted to watching what ever you post..
Lol I just asked this question 5 minutes ago on another video. A flow chart sounds great!
there is this place in Wisconsin and its a town that was next to a dam and the dam burst and the town is now under water and its pretty old you can research about it im pretty sure its by a camp and a huge lake called turtle flambo flowage
Wish I could quit my job and move into his neighborhood. Adventures every day! Definitely buying a metal detector this year.
He Beau
I heard of guy in Scotland said that he has had two deus coils changed under warranty(beach hunting), the water corrodes and gets in via charging pins on the coil ..?? have a search on you tube for "Metal detecting with an XP Deus coil and a corrosion warning!"
After using an etrac, I couldn't and wouldn't go back to the at pro. Of course I don't do any water hunting. The etrac is a little heavy, but it's way more accurate....which can be a bad thing in metal detecting because you don't dig as many less attractive signals, but it does save you time. I so want an updated etrac with better separation and the ctx isn't the answer.
Interesting Video Beau. Looking forward to your Deus digs. We have one in our arsenal .Also ET,CTX and a Whites coin master pro.
The kiddos like that T-shirt your wearing..and they now each have a new favorite detector they want..thanks Chigg. lol
Detectors, You forgot to put your Bounty Hunter 840 in the video... I had an A.H Electronic VLF/TR detector 1979. I wish I still had it. I'd hang it on the wall for the memories. I fly with another "Color" machine than the Garretts. Have since I sold the A.H. I hope you can pass on the technology of detectors has came a long ways past "OUR" past. To go along with your favorite brand, I think some of the lower and mid-priced Garretts do some amazing things. I have also found "Certain" older machines, some 20 years old to be "Special" in certain areas of detecting. Garretts has came a long ways in machines.
so here is the best question. tell us how to not end up buying all those detectors. lol.
it was in all the battles between archers english and irish maybe but thats where giving the finger came from. when one of the sides would capture an archer they would cut off his middle finger before releasing him and he couldnt fire a bow anymore. showing the finger meant you were still dangerous.
What video splicing software do you use to splice and dice your videos, they are excellent, thanks for keeping us informed on great metal detecting adventures?!?!
I LOVE my XP Deus! Great video!
Look forward to the comparison of AT pro to the AT gold. I have been using my Tesoro gold sabre ii for a number of years and I am thinking about an upgrade..
GOOD VIDEO ENJOYED WATCHING
now thats what i'm talkin about finally someone telling about the detectors...awsome Chigger Great video!! keep these comin
I want to get the atx is it a good machine to hunt everything playground beaches relics everything
I'm thinking about trying a Fisher F75.
I dig your shirt.....digging the Civil War.
Hey Beau,
You should make a custom automatic signature for the bottom of all of your video descriptions that will link to other videos or answer really common questions. Just so you don't have to write it every time.
Just like:
"Common Questions
What Metal detector do you use?
-Watch this video I talk about them!: Link
Etc...."
It will save you a lot of time on future videos, and if you still want to reply to a lot of common questions you can just write, "refer to the description" for a bunch of them.
I have a garret ace 250. Is that any good?
I think that spending 3,000.00 on a detector is a bit excessive when it sit around most of the time and you find just as much with the mid price range, I know, I have two sitting around while I use my AT pro for most uses.
+Numisaccent I agree with you, unless you have bags of cash lying around waiting to be spent I believe a Garrett AT Pro or Gold is more than sufficient.
+get in Agreed. AT Pro is probably one of the most cost effective machines out there in terms of performance vs cost.
Ty beau love you're videos god bless you happy hunting
I noticed you don't have any machine from whites metal detector what is your opinions and views on whites small mom posture they live in Oregon and they have some distribution stations around here
I'm leaning towards buying the XP Deus but I don't want to have to send it back to France if it ever needs warranty work,
My question would be concerning hot rocks and the ability to work on multiple soils? Why did you choose at gold vs gold monster 100 vs klutz Gold, vs Goldmaster 24k? Thanks for the videos you did produce.
I love your videos man! I wish where I live didn't have weather all the time in the UK XD then metel detecting would be my thing lol Keep the cool vids up man. :D
Very good thanks
Good video.You gave a lot of solid information.Thank you
Beau, as a birthday present, my kids (who know little of the hobby, but are learning) bought me a Bounty Hunter Lone Star detector. It's the first machine I owned, but the manual is VERY vague on usage and not a lot online either. I have heard this is a great 'beginer' machine but I dunno, seems like I only find junk, even when I did a test of dropping a few coins, ect on the ground (missed em completely, but found enough rusty nails to build a small house). Am I maybe doing something wrong or is it the machine?
I'm stuck between the AT Pro and AT Gold. Would you do the video where you talk about the differences and why you prefer the gold over the pro, if you do. Thanks.
Also, LE or Mil? Just wondering.
Duane in Baltimore
Awesome, Thanks a bunch
laid up recovering from surgery surfing UA-cam and ran across your channel. I think I have spent about two hours watching you find stuff. I was literally just about to ask what kind of detector you use because you have me wanting one. I think I'll get one and my dad and I will go hunting or I'll take my boys, we live close to a creek where tons of people kayak every summer. I do have a question, where do you get those magnets?
I have an AT pro and I think it’s broken when I first got it it was only making noises when I was hitting metal but now it pretty much goes off every time I move it
I have an old metal detector but don't know we're it is but I do plan on buying a new one but I just want to look for gold and coins witch one would be good I do like the Garrett at pro but I don't know well thanks for your time have a great weekend
Can you please do a vidio on magnet fishing showing if the magnet can pick up a gopro and what other metals you find while metal detecting plz
I have an old Fisher 1236 x2 and am wondering if I chuck it for a newer one, or maybe keep it as a spare. I have been told these were good machines but are the newer ones really any better? As you can see I am a novice at this and haven't done much detecting but I do intend to.
Hi Beau how about a series for people just starting out in metal detecting, such as where you can and can't go or how to decide thats the place to go, for instance how did you first start out? was there a wee chigger jr detecting the sandbox?anyhoo thanks for the uploads........M
Great video...but as a scuba diver, can you give me some insight to the Garrett Sea Hunter MK II? I'll be diving below 75ft at times...the GSH MK II is rated to 200ft, so...?
can you explain why not the atx please...im in mexico and have found silver coins with a pendulum and now want a Garrett but do not now which one... found the coins by a Wall in a old acienda about 2 feet Deep...
thanks for the video
Which detector between the Gold Bug2 and the AT Gold would you recommend for detecting small gold in North Georgia rivers and river bed crevices? I would also like to have the ability to coin shoot and relic hunt on land and beaches with one unit? Your opinion will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey beau the day before you posted this I asked you what metal detector to use and you responded saying you have a lot of videos about them. did that inspire you to make this? also great vid!
Looked at the prices, I might want to start with a cheaper Garret since I'll be on land. I want to make sure I'm going to use this machine a lot before dropping $500+ for something that might live in a closet mostly.
Well done! Short and sweet!
So, Bo, when are you going to come to Massachusetts? I have already invited STEALTH DIGGERS, there is a sight here that you would absolutely love, it is right up your alley, A river that had a flood, for which a book was written and a thesis was written which I have personally held in my hand which is 5 inches thick. They should actually make a movie about this , it was that dramatic and that historical. The Book is called " In the shadow of the dam" and it tells the story of how the seemingly small mill river wiped out 5 towns in a matter of 1.5 hours. It killed 116 people and I have researched this for the past 8 years. Believe me when i tell you that this WILL be your ultimate challenge in life, because I know it is mine. At least read the book and let me know.Love the videos! Good Hunting!
Thanks, Beau. Very informative:)
Speaking of t-shirts, why not come up with a good one Beau...you know they'd sell!
I got myself a fisher 1280x I live in Hastings uk about 2 mins from the beach all stones no sand 😣 but still nice in summer do you or any of your follows know if this is a good one I payed £180 ($220) is this the right starting detector.
Do you use factory preset settings or custom on the Deus detector? If custom can you do. a video showing how to set up your best one?
Hey Beau, great vid. Behind you where your 'Detectors' are against the wood-pile, is that a hidie-hole for critters? Anything living in there? Peace out.
***** Yep, I always leave log piles in my back garden for things to live in, and somewhere to hide from my cats! I even had a wasps nest one year in an old shed and just left them to it. They eat all the bugs that attack plants. As they built their nest they would scrape wood off of the shed door to munch into the pulp for it. I also let the spiders in my house stay there.......I don't mind them. I had a big house spider for years living in another shed between some boxes. When the flying ants came out in the summer I would catch some and put them by the spiders webby-tubey thing. It would dart out and take them back inside. It got to the stage where I could hold an ant by the webby thing and it would take it from my fingers!!! You can't beat nature.
***** We haven't got any nasty spiders in the UK.
+Glen Pierce Huntsman spider v v nasty and in the UK......M
MrMal1956 Didn't know that, cheers I'll google them, help ma Boab! Love the avatar of Wullie, not long till Burns Night, just got some Haggis from Aldi's, some of the best this side of the border,imho. Peace out matey.
+Glen Pierce
Do You know that the tunnel weaver actually comes from Europe to United states, not from United States to Europe as many people here think...
We does not hawe dangerous ones where i live either, The winter is to cold, but in warmer regions they can deffinitly live in Europe as well...
Hey Beau, have you ever used a White's Spectra V3i? What's your opinion on it?
Not trying to start a brand war (White's vs Minelab vs XP vs....), just curious on your experience with it.
Please make some more videos like this.
Awesome. Maybe you could recommend one that is the cheapest and most versatile? I think it would fit the needs for most of us "common men" -or "women". I, for one, don't have $5,000 to drop on a detector. Thanks!
Mr. White says, "Nice woodpile, Beau!"
I have around an 750 euro budget and i was looking at the Macro Multi Kruzer and the Garrett At Pro im just wondering which one i should choose
Great advice, I live in the UK and on the coast so im looking for a beach machine.
any chance of an Aquachigger signature series detector some day?
+mikes hobbie's and random stuff Haha! Great idea! The Garrett AC series!
I sure hope so! How cool would that be!? :-D
