    When your notification of a new vid comes through I don't look anymore... I savour the moment until I have a cuppa, reclining chair (and maybe a bicky) , it is just pure entertainment of the highest quality.
    The bottle is a common blacking ink, found on tips from 1880-1920, Skey (George I think) was a manufacturer from Tamworth (originally my home town).
    I get loads of those clasps with different designs on, would love to know what they are off.
    Would also be very interested to know what you use to edit/produce your vids, they are just too damn good. Already looking forward to the next 👍

      Hi mate, wow very humbled reading comments like this 😁 Sounds an ideal setting for some metal detecting youtube videos. We move house soon amd I've already invested in a chair where I too will be able to sit in comfort and edit my videos instead of the god awful table at Sarahs 🤣
      Had no idea the bottle was that old! Its cool real thick pottery, will find a use for it somewhere.
      As for editing I use FilmoraX, I have to pay for it unfortunately but its only about $50 a year. I intend on buying a lifetime pass as I really really like it.
      Cheers for such awesome feedback 😁🍺

    Hello mate it’s me Woodland Metal Detecting, I’ve changed my UA-cam name and logo. Good to see you using a Garrett again, I’ve heard mixed things about the Apex, mainly negative but the proof is in the pudding. It seemed to do a decent job, found a few bits, I’d take one over a Minelab any day! 😂 Cheers mate, smashing video as always 👍

    • @TheDukesOfDerbyshire
      @TheDukesOfDerbyshire  3 роки тому

    • @downinthemuff
      @downinthemuff 3 роки тому +1

      Ayup mate, not really a rebrand, I don’t want people thinking I have a detecting channel so thought I’d have a change, took me ages to decide what to call it, not sure about the picture though, will probably end up changing it. I have a Minelab Wankwish that I won in a raffle, I’m sure it’s a decent machine but it just feels and sounds like a toy to me. I prefer my Simplex which I think is a cracking bit of kit for the money.

    Tell you what Duke , if Garratt had paid for a top notch marketing company to do a vid to promote the Apex , it wouldnt hold a candle to this vid ! Production is always the dogs mate but how you interweaved a showcasing of a new machine with your usual flair and camera work was excellent . My missus actually said " well im not into actual detecting but if I was , I'd buy a Garratt after watching that " !!

      Hi Chris I like to see what other machines can do amd mix it up a bit. There are too many detectorists in this day n age that obsess about 1 machine and 1 machine only (mainly people who use a Minelab 🤣). Also, sometimes its just nice to have a change. Its impossible to compare the machines as Ive used my XP 1,000 times and the apex 1 time 🤣🤣

    Well done on the finds . The soil looks brilliant .
    At 13.45 , that finds pouch is the one i use . I bought 2 on ebay a while ago . Phil's something or other on ebay .
    What made you buy the Apex ?
    Was it a Regtons prezzy or did you just want it ?
    Have you ditched the ORX ?
    When the Apex was announced i thought about it a while but didn't get one. I am more into Minelab for beaches .
    When you were going over that large iron they sounded reasonable but had high numbers , at least the numbers jumped a bit . One way to tell.
    Try the Apex in a single frequency , multi frequency isn't best everywhere and i dont think its deeper neither . It can be better with the Nox sometimes in single frequency .
    Things i like about the Apex are its lightweight , Multi Frequency . But things i am not sure of are its iron rejection , maybe slow recovery ? having a coil like that quite slim means if you had a bigger round coil it might ? not recover well between targets .
    The other thing i found out about from a mate was that one of the bigger coils if you set to Multi Salt it wont work well if at all on Silver rings . I dont know if thats been sorted yet , but it was OK on its normal coil.
    So watch out when buying other coils . I will have to ask my mate which coil it was . I think Nigel will know , my mate he knows is Martin Garner .

      @TheDukesOfDerbyshire  3 роки тому +1

      Its the NEL coils that do not work on beach. I only detect pasture, Im 100 miles from my nearest beach. I just fancied a new machine amd the apex was the most affordable, I liked the look of it too. Definitely not a present but I did get a very good deal.
      Next time I take it out I will try it on single frequency and probably on all metal mode, maybe its similar to the AT Pro.
      You are definitely better off with a minelab on the beaches they are real good beach detectors

    • @TheDukesOfDerbyshire
      @TheDukesOfDerbyshire  Рік тому

      Hi Ian, best thing to do is find some farms that are local to you, then politely ask if you can detect on their fields. But first you should get some practic in your back garden scanning various coins and other bits n pieces to learn the signals and the tones. Metal detecting can be very stressful and hard in the first few months. Its not easy getting permission either. You need to dress smart, look presentable and earn the landowners trust. Good luck to you
