Have watched this video before, but after spending most of the last 6 weeks laid up in bed, thought I would re visit. I have a simplex, and love your videos. Great to have someone talk you through each step without making you feel your stupid and useless in any way. Keep making these videos, they are the best out there, for both beginners and those that need some great advice. Cheers Adam, John
Some great tips and advice. All I'd add is that every beach is different, and the same beach can change dramatically after a tide. I think some people see a video and see people find a ring or pockets full of coins then expect to find that on their local beach. The might well do, but if their beach doesn't attract as many visitors, then the finds might be a lot less frequent. Up here in Scotland we have some vast beaches with very few footprints (especially over the winter months) so base your expectations on the reality to avoid disappointment 😊
Another cracking video Adam, I’m recently retired and always wanted to give metal detecting a go when I had the time, your videos have inspired me to get one and get out there. Thanks again for your time and effort. Paul.
Hi Paul! Congratulations on your retirement! That comment really made me smile this morning. Thank you for saying that - I'm happy to have helped in some way. Good luck and happy hunting on your future metal detecting adventures! 😃😎👍
Thanks for the video. I found it very informative and even got some new info and I’ve watched hundreds of detecting videos. Me and my 2 boys have a treasure hunting channel and we will use these tips and keep getting better, take it easy.
Excellent video! Also nice to see another person who doesn't use the Minelab machine. I just began this year and have been using the AT Pro. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! I have a beach trip planned for this weekend and decided to buy my first detector. With the information in this video, I feel confident and look forward to spending my early mornings walking the sand (and hopefully finding some treasures). Thank you!
@Nz540i M I ended up going with the Garrett Ace 300. The reviews of it were great and it fit my budget. The package I bought was bundled with the pointer pro metal detector too.
Great comprehensive video Adam well done mate. One thing I would add is to ensure you take a cold drink if weather is hot. Also a good bag to collect and remove all the rubbish you will find. Take care mate.👍
Hi Adam I been out with my simplex today for a couple of hours to get used to it I found a few coins I love it I married the head phones to the metal detector they are great with out the cable
It's amazing the difference not having a cable makes, isn't it? Love the headphones. So lightweight but with great sound quality. I regularly forget I'm wearing them! 😃😎👍
have now seen a few of your vids, as i have the simplex, you explain it easily for us to understand and I have learnt a few good tips.. we have loads of Beaches in Jersey and now have some more info to get us out there again.. thanks
A very informative and professional video Adam. This should help us a great deal next time we go detecting on the beach as we are amateurs in that area.
Hi. Great video. I’ve been semi seriously beach detecting for about a year (only when on holiday at our caravan though) so consider myself a real amateur. I watch lots of videos for tips. Do you not subscribe to the V shaped searching pattern between current tide line and high / mid tide line ? Just after your opinion. Haven’t tried it yet but was going to next weekend when I’m down for a day. Thanks.
Hi Kevin, Thanks! 🙂 I was trying to keep things simple in the video and didn't want to go too far down the rabbit hole of the various more advanced techniques. The diagonal method is great for finding the areas where items are likely to collect and would definitely say give it a go! Wet sand varies so much between beaches that what works in one place may not be the best method elsewhere. Good luck and happy hunting! 😃😎👍
Thank you 😁 The scoop in this video was a fairly basic and generic unbranded one so I don't have a link for it but I can link you to the one I use now. If you check out my more recent beach videos you'll see it in action. So much better 😊 www.lpmetaldetecting.com/products/nokta-makro-premium-scoop-3in1
@@DTEKTSUSSEX that’s excellent! Thank you! I was looking at Nokta Makro Scoop too and you’ve helped me decide to get that one rather than the generic one. Thanks again.
Park 2 will eliminate a lot of the iron in the dry areas. On the wet I use All Metal Mode with ground balance on zero which deals with most of the mineralisation. I tend to get used to ignoring the iron tones but you could discriminate them out.
Thanks! Well...it was people like you telling me you'd picked up some good tips from my other videos that prompted me to make this one. Hopefully it will help others moving forward 😃😎👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I think you have so many people on UA-cam offering their advice but people are all in beach detecting for different reasons. Some think they will score a Rolex on the first dig whilst others just enjoy the fresh air and what ever they find. It’s good to see a video which is to the point but shows the hobby for what it is, just a nice peaceful time on the beach and what ever you make of it 👌
Brilliant video, very informative. Where did you get the socking for the cable from the coil and what type and size is it please, keep up the great work, cheers.
Thanks Colin! I got the cable protector from LP Metal Detecting. They're called Snake Skinz. They only come in one size to fit a few detectors so check the compatibility on the site 😃😎👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX Thanks for your reply, I think its used in structured data cabling, I take it this eliminates phantom signals from the cable knocking on the tube
It's very similar, yes. To be honest, the main purpose of them is to look good. If you've wound the cable properly there shouldn't be any give in it to bang against the shift.
Another great informative video mate. Would you change to park 1 if you had all sand as deep as you could dig. All our beaches are just raw sand. Cheers
Thanks! Park 1 would be absolutely fine...just remember to swing more slowly. I tend to use Park 2 because the recovery is better for the trashy beaches near me 😃😎👍
Nice video mate 👍 I just go my self a Nokta Makro Sand Scoop to be going on with! then I will upgrade to a nice metal scoop like yours in a couple of months down the line
Hi Adam, the one thing you didn't mention was, do you need permission to detect on all the beach, in your case from cliffs to low tide , and if so, who do you contact, for example, the local council for that area or don't you need permission?... Thanks Adam.... Cya
Hi Anthony, Thanks for adding to the list! If I added everything in the the video would be too long. Yes, checking local permissions and restrictions is very important before heading out 😃😎👍
Metal detectors are like the reverse of a wife. With a wife you get bitched and moaned at for whats wrong. With a metal detector, it bitches and moans when thing are going good. Even a slight grunt could be something great. A wife’s slight grunt could mean your having supper in your car.

If you’ve done it. What sort of detector did you get? I’m considering doing the same

For a beach that is known to be high in mineral iron, would it be more helpful to use beach mode to eliminate stray iron tones?

Don't need permission on the beach, only if is private beach or belong to the crown need permission
Correct...which is why checking whether you need to obtain permission for the particular beach you are planning to hunt on is very important.
Cheapest decent pin pointer please people?
You'll need to spend a bit of money for a decent one. I'd recommend the Nokta Pointer:
