Wow, you cleaned up out there. Truth is, you can run a Garrett fairly well out on the beach without issue. In the water can be a different story though. I generally run my Excal but even that can miss items so you have to know your machine like you said. What would be nice in your videos, is to actually see what you are scanning with your detector and then digging it up. Whether on land or beach, it is nice to see the element of surprise when hunting. My favorite is water detecting and seeing the item in the scoop for the first time. So only seeing the end result of your find kinda defeats the purpose for the "thrill of the hunt" and how it reads/reacts on your detector prior to digging. Otherwise you might as well just show your wrap up at the end. Just my 2 cents though, I really love those finds...Great job!
My girlfriend and I had a great day of finding bottles near Toledo, the river was super low at that point. It had rained since that trip and we didn't find as much today. Thank you for sharing your hunt with us! Great video, great finds!
I just broke out my Garrett ATmax from storage. She's like new and I'm starting starting up the hobby I should have started already. If you ever get down to Northeast Florida let me know. I hope your 2023 is a successful season.
Thank you sir, have fun with it. I can't wait to get back to the Crystal River to swim with manatees and detect Clear Water Beach. You guys got it good down there. Thanks for watching, and the comment!
Hey man thank you for all the tips that you gave out it's helped a lot it's my first summer metal detector and I've done pretty well every time I've been out I haven't got skunked yet and I've been out at least 25 times so far and it's a lot of fun doing it like I said thanks for the tips
I usually set it on top of all the suitcases in the back of the van. Although there are more modern multi-frequency machines out there, the AT Max is a tank and always works. Thanks for watching, and the comment!
The AT Max is not specifically designed for salt water and is not idea. Multi-frequency detectors are better. You can use the AT Max in salt water by turning the iron discrimination up all the way, turning the sensitivity down a few bars, and ground balancing frequently. With the iron discrimination turned up, you may miss small items like gold earrings. Salt water can be challenging for any detector. In the dry and semi-wet sand you should do very well. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and the comment!
I have found rings in salt water with it. Like I said in the video it's not ideal or specifically made for salt water beaches, a multi frequency machine is what's needed for that. But if you live in ohio and are only at the beach a few times a year, it's just fine. I have found much gold with it. Thanks for watching.
I run on zero mode with iron discrimination at 43. I adjust sensitivity as needed, usually at the highest setting in the dry. The AT Max ground balances between 9 and 13 on the beaches I detect on. I ground balance frequently, every time I move from the dry, to the wet, to in the water. It's worth mentioning that the AT Max is not specifically designed for salt water beaches where mineralization is high, but it can work. I have found plenty of gold and silver. Usually a multi-frequency machine like a minelab Equinox 800 is better suited for the task. The Garrett machine is good for me as I live in Ohio where I detect farm fields and parks. Thanks for watching, and the comment!
Congrats on the gold rings. Love my AT Max.
Thank you sir!

Thank you sir! I appreciate the feedback, it will help me make better videos. On my next detecting video I will record some swinging. Happy hunting!
Congratulations on 1k my Ohio friend, I just love seeing all this great treasure and History coming out of ohio and other places I just love History
Good to know history as to not repeat it. Thanks for helping me reach 1000!
My girlfriend and I had a great day of finding bottles near Toledo, the river was super low at that point. It had rained since that trip and we didn't find as much today. Thank you for sharing your hunt with us! Great video, great finds!
Good to hear you had some success finding bottles. I'll try to keep the videos coming. Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Good info on the dectector readings.
Thanks for watching, and your comment!
Great Content! Congrats on the 1k milestone. Happy to have been one of the first (14th?) in on this channel. Ken
Thanks! I got a good river video coming out in a few days with some interesting items. The Cuyahoga will never run out of stuff.
Great finds.
Hope all is well in Ohio
Thanks for watching, and the comment!
IMAGINE THOSE GUYS RUNNING INTO YOU, WHAT LUCK THEY HAVE.
GOD BLESS.
Thanks again!
Awesome finds. Lol, that frog. That's a great headlight.
Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment!
Really great week out there I Enjoyed the education also liked that beach light that protects the turtles
Many turtles nests on the island. The red light is bright enough that its almost as good as the white light.

That's why I do this, to pass on what I learned. I'm bery happy to hear that some of what I said is helping. Happy hunting!
Awesome video. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for watching and the comment!
Nice ring
Thanks for the comment!
I really enjoy your channel you do mudlarking in the water. I have s question are you a former police officer and a marine. Just asking
I never talk about my privet life on you tube, but I can tell you I love America and you might be partially right. Thanks for watching my videos!
Dang! The real treasure is that saltwater beach you found in Ohio?! Haha. Great video!
Nice to get away, but glad to be back in Ohio.
I'm wondering, what case do you use for the AT Max when you travel?

HI Guy, I’M NICO FROM ITALY, I WANTED TO ASK WHAT IS THE BEST CONFIGURATION FOR THE AT-MAX IN SEA WATER? THANKS SO MUCH.

THE AT MAX WILL NOT WORK IN SALT WATER ............

Great hunts! Holy rings batman!!!
It's good to find some gold rings, it's been a minute. Thanks for the comment.

The AT Max salt water settings are listed at about the 2:35 mark. ua-cam.com/video/dISPxJPpEFg/v-deo.html
I will give it a try on my next trip to Hilto Head. Thanks!
