How to Make Great Metal Detecting Videos!

You were spot on, on all those points.
 

Learned a lot...hope to get a video made someday soon....thanks!
 

I wish I stumbled across your video earlier. LOL
It is bang on and still pertinent. I took a GoPro with me detecting and learned first hand its limitations that you describe ... plus when it is in the case, it has poor sound pickup.
 

Trying to detect and film your own hunts is a PIA! It would be so much simpler if I could just get someone to follow me around with a camera, and a sound guy, and probably lighting for those shady spots, LOL

Wind sucks the worst!
 

Yes I have just been trying to film a couple of live digs that I knew were at least copper or possible silver coins. It is quite a challenge and I sound really stupid after I watch it later! Lol
 

Not to mention the "curse of the camera" Don't believe me? Just try it! Carry a video camera. Every time you have a good target, start the video rolling.... It'll be garbage in the hole. That 3 inch deep zinc penny there is no reason to film? That will be your $20 gold coin!

How right you are! But it has to be the right person on the camera. I had my daughter film the recovery of a nugget and it turns out she had zoomed in on a tiny feather on my fleece jacket, thinking it amazing how it was hanging on. I don't do reenactments, so that was that. On a bow hunt, they guy I was with got bored (I could see a moose, that he did not realize was there). The dumb bugger decided it was a great time to yell out random words for the echo across the swamp. I will keep my daughter but echo-man is long gone...LOL
