🚨 NEW SECTION COMING TO MMI 🚨

Tomorrow’s Mental Metal Intelligence report will introduce Metal Detecting Events—a new section helping detectorists find organized hunts happening throughout the year.

We’ll be tracking:

🔴 Seeded hunts
🟣 Natural hunts
🔴 Organized beach hunts
🟣 Mixed and multi-day detecting events

Each listing will include the event date, location, hunt type, registration status and a clickable link to the official information.

We’re monitoring event organizers and calendars including Gone Diggin’, Digstock, DigRallies, Diggin’ in Virginia, metal-detecting clubs and other trusted sources.

Whether you’re looking for historic private ground, a competitive seeded hunt or your next beach event, MMI will help you find opportunities worth putting on your calendar.

The first Metal Detecting Events section arrives in tomorrow’s subscriber report.

📡 Better information. More opportunities. More reasons to get out and dig.

In this video, I walk you through my beach metal detecting setup featuring the XP ICONX. I’ll show you how I have everything configured, explain why I chose this setup, and share what I genuinely like—and don’t like—about using the ICONX at the beach.

Is the XP ICONX a worthwhile addition to your detecting setup? I cover the advantages and the things I would change after using it in real beach-hunting conditions.

If you use XP equipment or are considering the ICONX for beach metal detecting, I hope this honest overview helps you decide whether it’s right for you.
