Thank you for this information. I'll grab my decorator and have a wave this afternoon.
What is the maximum depth of the Deus 2 device?
Beautiful 😮 thank you for sharing. Watching from
Sweet Dig, Congrats!
Thanks for the great videos. I was inspired to go out and get myself the entry-level minelab x terra voyager. I also am here the Derbyshire dales. I have no permission as of yet. Keep up the good work, one Derbyshire lad to another.
Ooo I have lost count how many times I have used my metal detector more or less like a crutch. On those days I also need a driver, I dunno what rules UK got but in Norway its illegal to even ride a bicycle under the influence, not that police would check offcourse unless you run someone down. (but I stay on the safe side) However the nature and finds always clear my mind in the end. That pendant was a beauty! And great to see your daughter supporting you ❤
"One day you turn up and win the jackpot, one day you dont but you keep buying the ticket". Well said my friend, there is so much more to this hobby, the scenery, the people, the animals. Beeing out on the field is the only place I feel I can turn off the noise from the world and from my own thoughts. Each find is a bonus and some days are pure magic.
Where’d you find it?
Spot on there Gareth! And thanks for the great tips on getting those permissions! Those were some beauties that you pulled out of that lush soil! Mike in sunny Florida
Great video, Thanks for taking the time to make it, appreciate the time it must have taken to make the video, very informative for me as I have just won a Deus 2 and was wondering which coil to get with it as I have a choice, looking forward to watching more of your videos.
We share this permission 😅I found a beautiful George 3rd shilling last week 👌
I agree 100%, the world is a ticking bomb, and we are fragile even if it wasnt, lets enjoy this moment on the earth while we can, and what better place then in the free nature. Thanks mate.
Really good video this. Been fighting the urge to get a detector for about 2 years now and finally the missus just got me a simplex ultra for my birthday! One of the rare times ive actually read instruction manual. Finally understand what the number value is. Is ground balance as important manual makes out? Didnt see you mentio it. Pretty much all my permissions (got loads being a gardener haha) are chalky soil some are even just solid chalk under 2" of top soil does this make it really hard for detector to sence things?
Another great video as always with some more great tips. Everything a detectorist needs to start out. Hope you are enjoying your holiday away in Canada with the family and you are all doing well. Keep up the great work as always 🙂
A great hunt with some great little silver coins, furthermore some great tips that are very useful for everyone detecting, and I'm sure everyone tries doing. Hope you and the family are well, keep up the amazing work🙂
Hi , nice bit of info for anyone new to the hobby but the top of my list at this time of year is Horse fly repellent 😂mind you i actually thing the little blighters like it !!! 😂 , anyway nice video pal you take care ATB Rob .
Nice one and well done to the winners.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYSB1JONYKWWXbg.html - PROFESSIONAL METHODS FOR METAL DETECTION HOBBYISTS - I found this video very useful. Inspite of being quite slow tempo, and 2 hours long, I find it easily worth the time. Documenting findings is in my opinion of utter most importance when it comes to studying and preserving, and especially not destroying our shared human past. I find it extremely important to document the exact location, depth, and angle of the findings. Also, taking photographs both at the excavation site and when making a findings list is damn important. The documentation sheets herein are also good and helpful. A worthy view to everyone interested in studying the past, and easily adaptable to other fields, such as paleontology as well.
you nailed it with this video Gareth ,remember and check that you have all you need Before you go out to detect thanks again cheers
Nice find that mate
Great video Gareth shaune in Kent 👍
I fkn love this, this really is the coolest thing I've seen on a detectorist channel 😎 I'm a musician who's spent a lot of my life busking. Seriously big up mate ✊✊
Good presentation on what you need to go detecting. Covered it nicely Gareth. See you are nearly at 17K. Well done mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Fun day out decent dig that! Best tip for beginners is to listen and dig everything. That thre'pence was okay btw i've dug one that was quarter the size it started from very acidic soil. Happy hunting 👍
Great video, as always.. Gloves!!! You really should wear gloves. I know you dont bother but there's a lot of sharp trash in the ground.. Extra batteries and some snacks are also a good idea! 😀
"Cigarette lighter - just in case". I can't say I've ever been in the middle of a field wishing I had fire, so I'm dying to know what you have in mind... 🙂
I really hoped nobody would ask that 🤣🤣🤣 Ya never know when ya might need to whip up a fire. Sometimes I have been known to get my gas stove out so sometimes use the lighter
Great Video Gareth as always you explain in detail what you need and how to use it . Yes and definitely take a drink especially if it's a hot day . Thank you for all your amazing videos hope you and your family are all ok.😊
What is the arrangement with finds? Do you split any value 50/50?
Just because Gareth has minimize his! Others has a inbuild Cakeshelf! Important to get it filled. Nature looks So much better😜🔝❤️
I know it's very difficult to film with gloves, but on arable and pasture with livestock you should use hand protection.
Can you explain why please Robert? I'm new to it all, but maybe missing something, as I don't see the logic here, apart from mucky/scratched hands. Unless you're thinking tetanus, but then why just arable and pasture with livestock. I ask because I hate wearing gloves for prolonged periods unless it's bitterly cold.
@@martinsanders5418 Glass, flint/stone fragments, rusty metal - you don't want the risk of small cuts when exposed to arable soil with manure and fertiliser (or tetanus). Add livestock urine if you're digging on pasture and dogs if in the Park.
@@robertwittwer643 Ah ok 👍 ... Best to always be aware there may be sharp objects and go at it accordingly, but I'm covered for tetanus, and alright with getting me hands dirty 😉 Each to our own I guess. I think you're giving the wrong impression re the livestock though, as once their urine/feces has been absorbed by the land, especially several inches down, it won't give you any disease or health risks. I think you'd be much more likely to get Lymes disease from a tick bite, or run over by a silent electric car crossing the road 😉 People have farmed bare handed for millennia, and although they are a dwindling breed, that's down to poor Gov't policy, and the power of greedy supermarket chains to keep lowering the price of produce with cheap imports. As me ole grandma use to say, when referring to dirty hands and the eating of food ... "Ye''ll eat a ton-u-muck 'fore ye die son" 😁
Some more help for beginners Gareth,may I also add another tip that if you have to climb a gate always climb on the hinge side.
Really enjoyed this, very informative, thank you!
Learning from pros softens the learning curve.
Brilliant video once again Gareth! Some brilliant pointers for people looking to start this amazing hobby!

Morning Gareth, another of your great videos. Well shot and to the point. Having been a welder in my lifetime and having a metal shop I have more digging knives and shovels than anyone could use. I still make some knives so I need sheaths for them. So I have a commercial leather sewing machine I can make heavy duty detecting finds pouches myself. Making things myself is part of the fun for me. Enjoyed your video others will get allot out of it. Take care… John
Another very interesting episode ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm sure glad you showed The North Face, and not your south one! Next time, tell your girlfriends to be quiet!
That’s a old fishing lead ain’t it?
A great video to watch this day. The weather was great, and a picturesque field. See you on the next, Gareth. 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Looks like your plan worked OK, plenty of finds up there!
Hi , back on the silver mate nice coin to and in good condition shame the G4 was in poor condition but a silver coin none the less , you had quite a good day and as for getting permissions knocking on the door being friendly and honest is always my method if they like you then it's usually a yes , top video again with good info best wishes and ATB 👌
So. It's very hard to find hammered coins in fields like this, because of the amount of rain. A HUGE thing to remember is the grass in fields like this breaking down each year easily adds inches of soil per decade. Brutal truth about this combo.
A very noble cause, and I bet he was chuffed and you made his week.
