Well... I didn't expect to find THIS! | +Tips for metal detectorists

Well I didn't expect to find an old gun in the hole while metal detecting!
It turned out to be a James Bond 007 one, so I don't think it needed reporting.
I have included some good tips for metal detectorists beginners these include: Pinpointing, digging a neat plug, swing technique and finally the truth about metal detecting!
If you think this video will help someone you know please give it a share.

"hit them with a rolled up newspaper" 😂 another great video, keep up the good work!!!
It is a very nice painting you did Dawn
Wow, Dawn! What a beautiful abstract painting! A lot of people would love to own it, including me! You have a good eye for painting abstracts that you could sell to your subscribers! I would for sure buy one! Keep on the digity, dig, dig, dig.✌️😊

Congrats on your weight loss! But who knew you have a knack for painting - really love it!
I’m glad to see you using the AT max. I bought one and then everyone started using newer models. Made me wonder if I messed up and should of waited.
And wow, that painting is awesome as well!!
Great job on your diet and the Reno’s on your flat. Love watching your videos…you are a ray of sunshine. Cuddles to Diggy 🐕

Dip the pointer in Liquid Electrical Tape a few times or just tape it up. It won't affect sensitivity at all but the point won't wear through and leak. You can buy rubber tips, but they cost more and get lost.
Watch out for Dawn hitting you on the fields with her rolled up newspaper 😂
Your painting was dam good for a first go.👍

That's a James Bond 007 cap gun. I found a cowboy six shooter cap gun in my front yard when I metal detected the first time. Probably from the kids who grew up next door. That and a whole key ring full of old dog license tags from the 70s. Congratulations on the weight loss. I've been trying to drop another 20 lbs after loosing 30, but I've been bouncing back and forth for a few months. I'm hoping once the weather breaks and I start planting my garden I'll get back on track.

The view up there is gorgeous. I think your pot is a Glue Pot for wood glue that you melt over heat.

Awesome video as usual Miss Dawn. If you haven’t already named your painting. Might I suggest “What’s in the hole?” Because each stroke represents a thought of a different find that goes through your mind until you find it. Just a thought. Your friend Bill from Texas ❤️🌹
