Pretty funny Nectar!

Yeah, when other detectorists see you guys they just pack up their gear and go home. ;)

HAHAHA haven't seen that yet, but the video made me laugh

I don't discriminate, I try to keep one of each kind around at all times :lol:
 
I love that intro . When they see me pull up they just start giggling and whispering to each other like little girls . But they aren't whispering at all because there wearing headphones 😐
Then i put the minelab back in the truck and get out the taco V :) That's when they usually start getting nervous .
 
Nice one Nectar.

A little story,,,happened about a year and a half ago.

Was at this site,,very active early to mid 1900s.

Met up with 2 gents that knew me.

We hunted a while,,I was using a Deus.

I then proceeded to my car and broke out a Minelab XS explorer.
It still had the stock coil on it,,,,,and some folks know,,,not the prettiest of detectors,,all white in color even the coil.

These 2 gents started laughing,,,said what was I going to find with that dinosaur of a detector.

Keep in mind,,I had only run this detector a few minutes in my yard,,got some settings off of a forum.
Did have etrac and CTX experience though.
Used the detector about 10 minutes,,got a good signal,,,and out jumps a deeeeep 1900 IH.

The find of the day between all 3 of us.

Moral of the story.

Better watch those Minelabs even the older models,,never ever laugh at someone using one,,,,you might get embarrassed.

Just thought I would give you guys a heads up on this. That IS NOT a goat, THAT is really NECTARDETECTOR !!. That's the real reason I don't hunt with him very often.
 
Most of the time its just a matter of being at the right place at the right time. Getting your coil over it. Of course knowing your detector helps a bit.

I found this dime at the city park about 4' away from a tree in bare ground where no grass would grow. It was less than 1" deep and this park has been hunted to death for years. It wasn't a secluded area and in fact a popular spot that had seen every detector imaginable. Yes, I did find it with my Deus, but It could have been a $50 detector. I just happened to be the one to get my coil over it.

Nice coin.

I think coil size,,being what it is,,gives operators a feeling of security,,,meaning they think they have covered an area thoroughly.(illusion)

Hot spot on coil,,,lot smaller than some may think.
