@@TeamLynchBMD yeah, definitely interesting!

Thanks gopher! Congrats on your gold ring as well!

@@Nightcoon85 You hit the nail on the head Nightcoon. Wish I lived within a mile or two, I’d be there every day. Congrats on the rings! I found a 10k chain/pendant with diamonds yesterday! It was laying in the street when I parked to go detecting! Found 11 pieces of gold in 2023 and only one last year. Let’s hope this street find is a good omen for this year

@TrashPandaMetalDetecting aaahh that's a great easy find! I'm 20 minutes from my local beach but I dont mind driving an hour or more if I know a beach is good

Im only 8 miles but have not figured out how to tell if a beach is good. Plenty of web cams, but they are all at angles/locations that don’t show features of the wet/dry sand areas.

@@Nightcoon85 see previous reply, for some reason it wouldn’t tag you

@@TrashPandaMetalDetecting ahh that's close, although in socal thats like still an hour of traffic LOL! But nah seriously, I dont know how the beaches work in the winter down there as I spend a lot of time on my beaches up here. But I do know that during the summer, the socal beaches are more likely to wash out when we get big swells from the south, and especially when we get a tropical storm that makes it's way up to us. That's usually when you see the big cuts in the sand down there. I'm sure it happens in the winter months when we get big waves from the north as well, but at that point it's just a lot of exploring the beaches around you when the waves are up and the tides are low. Some beaches are more keen to washing out than others. My method when exploring a beach and trying to figure out if it's good is this: go out on the wet sand, preferably as the tide is going out to low tide, and do zig zags going towards the water and away from the water. Keep them a bit open at first. Then when you find something, determine if it's a heavier object. If its aluminum or a crusty zinc penny or a pulltab then keep moving to the next target. If it's a nickel or a quarter or a fishing weight, then begin to search the area around it to see if theres more heavier objects near it. What you're trying to do is find a good patch of heavier objects. If you find a patch, grid it and hunt it hard until theres no more then move on to searching for the next patch. You'll know a beach is bad if you only find aluminum. Hope this helps!

@@TSiriusz yeah, you could tell the DL had just been damaged recently because the paper inside wasn’t too damaged. Probably just as it started gets tossed into the sand during this storm. Some sleuths on Facebook found he moved around a lot. Awesome find for sure.

@@TSiriusz you say debris, I say souvenir! I’d have pieces of it listed on EBay if I lived close. Awesome place. Went there on my honeymoon trip and went back with all three kids last year.

@@TrashPandaMetalDetecting Bro the beach was literally scattered with huge planks of wood or metal that you'd need to cut pieces off of to transport. There were some people bringing their power tools to deconstruct the debris, and I even saw some people lugging a huge piece of lumber out of the beach. It would be too much of a hassle to sell this junk on Ebay imo.

@@TSiriusz probably right. Would be cool though to have a plank to make a bench for your yard.

I just bought the same one it's a coin hound. I'm a new one to this being trying to get permission from our town to do some of

I tried the park and recreation no luck going yo try school system enjoying your shows.

@ It’s a nickel hound! I have more V, Buffalo, and war nickels(at least triple) this year than previous year when I was using ATpro and Nokta Legend. Where are you located? Is it an old town? Permissions are my favorite because you can settle in and take your time without Karen/kevin coming along and yelling at you.

@@hoytgriffin3598 thanks Hoyt

@@archiewatson6188 😂 rat tokens are a close second to pull tabs for me. They sound so good!

@@ThomasAllnighter That’s definitely an iron that’s in the fire. Not too sure about the durability of the Deus2, the wire for surf hunting, or charging three things. I wish I was one of the lucky that gets one to promote.

@@JoyofTreasureHunting Thanks, much appreciated. I am trying a bunch of stuff with every new video. Hoping to land on some kind of normal after I’ve explored all that is offered for free with the video editing app I’m using. I love keeping stuff in the clump for later. Been doing it for a while, even before video. It’s fun to let the suspense build, even If you’re 99% sure it’s a clad dime. 😂

@TrashPandaMetalDetecting I agree, the suspense factor makes people hang around and I think I will steal that idea for my videos

Do it! I was surprised how well my video did of me mining the war nickel out of the crust. It was subpar video even by my beginner standards. The trick is finding something that’s actually stuck in some hardpack or crust. Or maybe find a silver with only the edge showing! I’ll try that as well!

@TrashPandaMetalDetecting I dug a green penny today in a wad of clay and thought of you and this technique, but i don't know when I'll include it in a video so I just went ahead and tore it open. Haha. Maybe it's like Christmas presents and some of us can't wait!

@ either way, it’s fun!

@@agateidest 🎉 🎉 🎉

@@UrbanProspector-ca Thanks! Make sure not to get ran over if you hunt near the tracks! 😂

@@idigthecarolinas Thanks! Subbed back. I love the Carolinas. Spent time in both and didn’t want to leave either.

@@boogerhooks Thanks!

@@boogerhooks I have hunted near some older tracks. They are active though and I’m not spending anytime near the tracks. Just a safe, legal distance away. Not 1800’s coins yet, and no train coins at all. Most likely be luck if I find one because this distance I am from the tracks. I did find a 1919 50 Centavo near old tracks. 72% silver.

@@boogerhooks Bullets might be a stretch, but they can shoot out. I know from personal experience in my childhood. We resulted to duct taping them to the tracks with several layers of tape. They still came off and we only had about a 40% recovery rate. You can see some of the coins in this video shot out. The cars that ran down this spur were light, and moving slowly by the time the got there. Less than 1000 feet from old maintenance yard(no longer there)

@TrashPandaMetalDetecting I'm curious if you've ever tried an Australian style pickaxe? They've got a longer handle and might be a little more comfortable to use than that hammer pick.

@@boogerhooks I will definitely look into that. Thanks

@@mandybrown7758 Thanks! I had fun

@@Ken.Kaniff.From.Conn. Definitely could be. Luckily these tracks are officially abandoned and I’m not using headphones on top of that.

@@TrashPandaMetalDetecting ok, that's good to know!

@@Ken.Kaniff.From.Conn. Could be giving some kid a bad idea though. No common sense these days. Just think of how many 100’s of kids played on these tracks being that they run right through a dense 19teens neighborhood. I guarantee none of them were dumb enough to get hit by a train. That being said, I’ll put a safety advisory in any future videos near any train tracks

@@Ken.Kaniff.From.Conn. Thanks Ken. I love the suspense of waiting to see what it is.

@@agateidest mine too, maybe I’ll get a quarter someday

@@hoytgriffin3598 Fortunately for me, that isn’t the case here. The tracks are in disrepair and could not be used even if they wanted to. It’s a small spur that led off the main line into a pacific electric maintenance yard. The only people that have spoke to me are happy I’m there because I pick up all the trash.
