This was my first time visiting Eastern Tennessee on a paid Civil War metal detecting hunt and the it was a beautiful site. I can't say enough about that part of the state. Good food and friendly people all around. I met a lot of really nice folks during the hunt. I took 3 machines w/me the XP Deus 2, Minelab Manticore, and the Minelab GPX 4500. It was a lot fun hunt but not very productive for me. Despite my best efforts, the relics were far and few between but some people did get their coil over some targets. Enjoy my pain and suffering,

The answer should be YES! I certainly would and I DID! But who wouldn't? This historic site was a confederate CW artillery battle site. I was fortunate enough to be picked for the 2021 Spring Just Go Detecting Hunt (JGD). Because of that, I had the opportunity to metal detect on this historical spot. It was a beautiful farm and the weather was GREAT! I had a lot of fun digging, talking, and, meeting with friends (some old and some new). I even met some fans of Mental Metal Channel! It was an awesome experience. Folks, just doing something normal post this Covid thing really mattered. Hugh thank you to James Bibb and JGD crew for sticking to the hunt. I highly recommend one of these hunts to anyone interested in metal detecting for CW relics. So what did I find? Well, it wasn't my best hunt but I did find some of the items I said I would. In hindsight, I should have just hunkered down and worked one area. Instead, I wandered aimlessly. Check it out for yourself. The wrap up will be at the end of the video.
In the video I mentioned checking out a couple of places and here they are:

Talk about a blast from the past! In this video I take a look back 7 years to revisit one of the old coins I've ever found. I forgot how new metal detecting I was back then. How did this video get over 1 million views is beyond me. Enjoy it again along with my commentary about the "silver" coin that was found :-)

Every year or so I try to meet up with one of my fanboys from Ohio and do a little detecting in the remote mountains of PA. If you have followed this channel long enough and monitored the comments you will usually see "Tedy OH" dropping in his opinion on my videos. Everyone once in awhile they are positive comments but most of the time they useless but funny and I do appreciate his banter on the channel. Regardless of his abuse, I do enjoy getting a chance to meet up and go detecting with him. After all, he is the one who convinced me years ago to put down the Garrett AT Pro and migrate over the original Deus and I'm glad I did. This year however, I convinced Ted to pick up the new Deus II and I think he is glad that he did. We both got our machines from Fort Bedford Metal Detector. If you are looking for one of these machines reach out and contact Keith or John and they will take care of you but make sure you mention the Mental Metal Channel
In this video Ted and I are on an excellent adventure. We are hiking the remote mountains of Cameron County, PA to find and old cellar hole. Armed only with our Deus II's we spent half our day searching for old relics. Come along and join us!
Check out my new article titled, "How to Use The XP Deus II (Beginners Guide)" in this article I provide some additional context and what I have been figuring out since picking up the Deus II.

I finally finished up my Digstock 5 footage and the big question is would I attend one of their events again? Overall, I had a lot of fun hanging out and meeting new people. I was finally able to meet in person a few of my Patreon members. I also met some really cool YouTube folks that I had never met before such as KG and Ringy from Garrett, Brian from Southern Relic Adventures in the XP tent. I ran into Jason "Quarter Hoarder" and Andrew Benson as well. Big thanks to all you folks who stopped me in the field and told me how much you appreciated my videos. That really meant a lot so thanks again. The video is somewhat stitched together but check it out let me know what you think. Leave a comment, like, share, and subscribe to the Mental Metal Channel.

Many of you asked me to make a video about Andy Sabisch's Coin Program for the Minelab Equinox 600. This is your video. However, can you set up the program the same as you can for the Equinox 800? The answer is no but I got you pretty close but you be the judge. If you have a good coin program for the 600 let us know by leaving a comment. I tested out this program in the video and I did find coins and some other stuff. At the end of the video I'll walk you through how to set it up. Plus, I'll show you what you are limited to by comparing both the 600 and 800 settings side by side. Again, all of these settings are based on Andy's coin program for the Equinox 800 but I tried to adapt them to the 600. TEASER ALERT: Watch all the way to the end for the big reveal that I hope is happening in the next couple of weeks. Some of you will be pleased I think. Others...well maybe not.
Here is the other video for this coin program for the Equinox 800: https://youtu.be/zFf7V8i_qZs

Diggin' In Virginia (DIV 37 Day 1) I waited a long time for this #MetalDetecting day to come. I was as anxious as I was a kid waiting for Christmas day to arrive. I had a blast and I met some of the nicest folks on the planet. But the big question you are probably wondering is if I actually found anything? I had set very low expectations for myself because of my lack of experience hunting with a pulse machine but I think I did OK for the first day. You be the judge. Day 2 and 3 will be out shortly. Thanks for watching and thanks to John and Rose for putting DIV 37 together!

I thought this permission was hunted out. After 2 years of #metaldetecting this property hard I almost said goodbye BUT not anymore. The XP Deus has changed things tremendously. My last 3 hunts on the property have produced some amazing discoveries that I missed and here is another one. This coin happens to be the oldest coin I have ever found. Its new ground again and I'll be heading back! Please enjoy and thanks for watching.
