About a year ago I detected an old sand beach and focused on the strip where there was pebbles and small bark bits. That strip stretched along the entire beach and it ended up being full of silver coins from the 30s :) It was awesome. So yeah, that strategy totally works.

I have a tip. I added a magnet to the end of my handle of my sand scoop. That way I don't have to bend over to pick up bottle caps or nails.

Hi, A really good tip is to look to see where most of the stones have settled, on a mainly sandy beach. The movement of stones with the action of the sea, usually harbours the heavier objects like coins, jewellery etc. So always detect the stonier areas, you would be surprised at what you find, especially after a storm....sid snot of Torbay.

+Stephen Hodge Great to hear :)

appreciate the time you took to make this video. Some good tips! I've only been detecting since last August but I have something to offer which may or may not hold true for other beaches. Here in South Carolina where I live, there is the beach, the dunes and then the sand walkways on the shoreward side of the dunes just behind the hotels. I've found 8 small earrings since I've been detecting and 7 of them were found on the sand walkways. My thinking is that people are removing their sweatshirts, tee shirts, or other top layers as they head to the beach, and the clothing pulled over their heads pops off an earring. I try to incorporate working those walkways as part of my hunts whenever I can. Thanks for the video!

Great video, best tips for someone like me who has never beach detected before.heading off to a beach in foster Australia for Easter this weekend so the tips will come in very handy when I try my luck,thanks.

Hello! :) The distance here is changeable depending on the beach. I went out with a friend this evening onto a beach in a place called Greatstone. The distance from the top end of the beach all the way down to the low was easily a mile. It can be really dangerous, because when the tide comes back in, it can circle you, and before you know it, you're surrounded. A lot of people drown this way!

such a down to earth video and your advice makes so much sense, learning the activity of the beach pools dips dark areas etc, i live in weston super mare somerset, i walk the beach several times a week and often i may find a 2/3 tonne tree stump with roots burried in the sand that wasnt there the day before if the sea can shift that who knows what else it has shifted

hi yesterday was my first day beach metal detecting and i found a 1997 TWO PENCE piece here in Toronto ON CAN lake ON. so yea they can travel :) had some fun

Recently started Metal Detecting and have learned a lot for your videos.. thanks for this.

Hi,DONT GET CUT OFF BY THE TIDE AS COMES IN FASTER THAN GOES OUT.Always have tide information.Hope this can save a RNLI boat being launched! Great vids and to the point.

as a complete newbie to metel detecting your video how to detec beaches was a great help the wife and I love to get out with our detector when ever we can

Awesome vid mate, interesting and had a good laugh with you. Keep them coming! I'm down in Australia lucky to be near the goldfields, never been beach detecting but will after watching this. Cheers :)

I normally do that, and its a great tip! I only started using that spade since I got the sand scoop. The big spade, and sand scoop is too much to carry!

Good video and good tips so I'm off to the beach tomorrow after a stormy few days. Cheers.

Cracking vid buddy, Ive only just started detecting and i live 10 steps from my local beach so im down there a lot, Ive taken in all your tips from this vid so will get to use your knowledge maybe tonight. I think your very very entertaining and great to watch, im going to check out your other vids and your site now, Thanks for the great upload . Thanks again, lee. ps, where was that beach it looked amazing?.

The silver item you didn't know about is a locking wheel nut. The odd design on the end is a special keyed receiver, making it near impossible to remove an expensive wheel and/or tire without the matching key.

Another brilliant video my friend, wonderful and you covered a lot of things that just simply put don't get mentioned in videos. You may like to add a list of things you need or like to take with you when you are beach detecting.

Thanks for this. Bought my daughter a mid-level detector for her birthday and this is some great info to use when helping her out.

Hi m8,I realy enjoyed your video,regarded myself as quite an experienced beach detectorist.but its a true saying you learn something new every day,I only ever detect dry sand or wet sand [low tide area]but I took your advice about detecting the high tide mark and to be quite frank have been amazed with the results.obviously I could say anything about what I have found,but the last two visits to my local beach I've had two silver rings one childs silver bracelet and a gold two fingered ring and various decimal and pre decimal.so to say your video has been a wealth of information is an understatement. keep up the videos regards Bobby

Great Vid! I live on the east coast and although dirt digging can be fun at historical locations, nothing beats beach metal detecting imo. Lots of exercise and meet about 10 new curious beach zombies asking me the same questions 🤣

really enjoyed your video, thanks for the tips as I'm looking to buy a CS4PI to use on wet sand as my Garret Euro Ace struggles.

I've been first time beach detecting in the Netherlands this week with my Q20 and here's what I learned: 1. Detecting in the early morning is more peaceful. In my second day some drunk twat tried to rip me off some way or another by telling me I'd need a permission to detect here. He even followed me around for a while. Luckily I checked with the beach administration before even coming here and knew that no permission is needed. Nobody bothered me at 7am. 2. The Q20 seems to have a problem with salt water. Detecting in wet sand makes it bleep randomly. I might edit this for more when I'm home.

Wayne you could describe the idea of finding better things near the low tide is quality over quantity and quantity being near the high tide

Hi, Really enjoy watching your detecting exploits. . . My c scope xp4pi was delivered today . . can't wait to start using it! . . . Love your enthusiasm about detecting. I'm totally addicted too! I was born in Folkestone but ended up living here in Telford. I'm off to Barmouth in north Wales this weekend to try out the new c scope. Keep up the good work and happy hunting!! . . Best wishes . . . Martin..

Great info,just bought a whites Surf Dual Field PI Today,All new to me,Can,t wait to get on my local beach ( Exmouth Devon)

Great video, all I need is a beach - live in Rugby, couldn't get much further away from them. Ah well, armed with the useful info from the video I know what to look for now. Probably head for the east coast - slightly closer with rougher conditions. Thanks for putting this together for us, ignore those moaning, they all had to start somewhere.

Dude! Thank you! I'm just starting out and that was great!

I'll never be at a beach but great advise thanks it will help someone.

17:36 - I've got one of them :-) Ideal for scoping out fields and seeing ground features from the air :-)

Great video! I find all of your videos really informative! Ive been watching your videos for a good 8 months and always find them fascinating! I recently purchased a Garrett ace 150 and today was my first day on the sand, believe it or not, on the exact beach this video was on! I thought that especially after the storm monday I would have a little bit of luck however that didnt seem to be the case and I only found a 1p and 2p :/ Better luck next time? Anyway keep up the brilliant videos and HH

Thanx fot yout time put in to this for the benefit of everyone.

That was the best advice on beaches I have ever seen 😎

Great vid, loved it. have you got any tips for detecting on pebble beaches?

Your videos are the best l really enjoy them. It would help me and other XLT users if u post any programs to write the settings down on a bit of paper it would be great mate. But u are the best I'm in Scotland and watch all your vids. Thanks a ton.

Yea, definately! I have one beach down here thats full of iron, and I dont go near it with the CS4PI!

Awesome vid mate,I really enjoyed it,I think you covered most bases but my one tip and yes its a boring safety one but ALWAYS know your tides and how they come in,Don't end up getting cut off from the main land,My beach is notorious for it, HH

18:43 it's a wheel nut. one of those security ones you need a matching tool to remove... stops ya wheels gettin nicked.

Off to do my first ever detectoring on a Welsh beach next week, ive just bought a minelab vanquish 340, is this any good for a beginner or have I wasted my money?

I know this video is a bit old but my tip would be to detect on ether Saturday evening or Sunday morning because at least on my beach it's always packed on Saturdays so get the jump on all of those dropped coins

Nice tips sir, good video indeed. Cheers and HH from Italy!

Great info. on beginners for farm detecting , thanks .

Great personality mate. Enjoy your manner.

Thank you for this video and your work!

i may have missed it but did you touch on weather its leagal to detect on public beaches ? Thx. for the great video.T.D.K

thanks for all the helpful tips.

Excellent, cheers Marc!

You are making lots of interesting and informative videos, it makes much better viewing/listening if you put a small piece of foam on your mic to eliminate wind noise. Its so simple to do on any camera or phone. Google or KZread is your friend for how to go about it. Looking forward to following this beach detecting guide thank you.

A quick question, Have you got any advice on best beaches to hit around kent? I'm from Dover so would be great If I could get some advice as I would love to expand my knowledge and detect a lot more!

Thank you, great info, im still new at this Great hunting to youall

Not all beaches are sandy - many are rocky. I am new to md but it seems to me that rocky beaches would have their own set of tip as well as sharing some of those you mentioned in this video..

Thank so much for great tips. Do i need a special detecor or coil, cos i heard that it is a lot of interference cos to the salt and minerals in the water. Would i be able to use my Gold max pro to detect close to the water (if the settings right), cos it gives a lot of false signals now, it works fine on normal soil. Thanks again. Regards from Norway :)

Hoping to do a beach or two in March. This vid extremely useful. Thanks. I suspect you don't hand in EVERYTHING you find to the police e.g. 2p coins. Do you have a philosophy on what you report?

I wouldn't recommend going metal detecting in Virginia Beach, Va. in the U.S. because they buried a bunch of old cars under the sand years ago to help stabilize the beach. I bet one would go off nonstop there.😂 Also, funny story... When our children were little we were on vacation playing in the ocean & a pair of $500 Oakley sunglasses just floated up to my daughter. They were scratched of course but still! No one was even close to us so hard to tell where they came from.

Great tips. One comment. I think you should detect in the evening right after the people left bathing/swimming. If you wait for the winter, other detectorist will hunt before you. Also more chance of new sand sprayed over it at the end of the summer. Thumbs up! HH&GL. Marc

Brilliant video mate.

I just found your channel. Great video! Subbed! Is that a C-Scope metal detector? I just bought a metal detector for the first time. My Dad used to bring me metal detecting in the 90s and he used a C-Scope. I've never saw anyone use them since.

@@Addictedtobleeps Legend! I went out detecting on the beach yesterday. I need your advice man. You're going to laugh your ass off, it's probably happened to you and I would really appreciate some advice if you have the time. Long story short I got a target, it was raining, sand was soaken wet. The hole ended up being 5 foot in diameter and 2 foot deep. The target was always within 2 inches (pinpointer), it kept sinking downwards like sand in an hourglass. Walls of the hole kept breaking off into the hole, hole was filled with water. Two hours Man, two hours digging that hole. I had to walk away. I covered it up of course. Felt like that moron digging a 12ft hole lol! I have an Excalibur 2 so it wasn't mineralization. Any tips would be appreciated. Cheers.

very good thankyou what is a good all round metal detector to get please only just starting please

Good video! I detect around Lowestoft beach mainly, it's smaller in comparison to yours :O And full of iron, I "Had" the Cscope CS4PI, and after using it a few times I only ever got handfuls of corroded iron, so I guess a cleaner beach is nicer for that machine.

Interesting tips there mate, never been beach metal detecting, not sure if my MD likes the sand but will certainly give it a go. HH matey.

Thanks this was very helpful

Another great video mate.

Brilliant... Where are you based in the South East?

Before a storm you know is coming, take a screen shot of the beach on your phone to do a before and after photo to see where the beach has changed.

Great video. Thanks bro

Love beach hunting and learned a little today. You did well. I had no idea that the distance between the high and low tide line was so great. I noticed that in Florida as well--but I think you have them beat. I hunt Maryland beaches where the tide fluctuation may be 50 feet or so.What is the distance between high and low tides lines there? On Jersey beachs we like to hunt any area that is low-meaning saturated sand. Also areas that contain shells -objects with like weights seem to stay together

Yes, oddly I discovered this, not when detecting but when I used to go looking for sea glass. Look for drifts of tiny stones and you'll discover glass. Similar weights stick together.

You had mentioned in an earlier video about needing permission to detect on private property, etc... what about beaches? I live in the US, and am wondering if you would happen to know. I love your videos.

@Addictedtobleeps

Hi Claudette! I'm guessing that its ok to detect on beaches in the US (apart from the private ones) Over here, you need a crown estate license (completely pointless - no-one has ever been asked to produce it in all the time they are going) which gives you permission to detect on beaches that have no historical monuments etc.

@jere29555

7 жыл бұрын

Hello Claudette. I don't know where you are but in the state of South Carolina one does not need permission to metal detect public beaches but the sand dunes or disturbing any vegetation on the beach is a fine and possible jail time so I steer clear of these. On state park beaches it is best to ask for permission and find out if there are any restrictions. So far I have not been denied. In North Carolina along the Outer Banks some areas ban all metal detecting and some beaches are restricted to a certain time of the year. If there is any doubt just check the local laws involving metal detecting. Happy hunting!
