Hm, I didn't know that. The beach patrol passed me many times on their quads and such and never said anything. Must've got lucky that week or something. This was right before Memorial Day weekend if I remember correctly, so maybe the beach rules are different depending on the time of year? I have witnessed them protect sea turtle eggs and etc. on the beach. So I made sure to stay away from any designated areas.

@@teed412 yeah it’s a turtle sanctuary. Every year they have egg hatching gatherings. You probably weren’t bothered because it was before tourist season or you weren’t right by the pier. The patrol loves jamming up the tourist though. Ie: no tents. No umbrellas or chairs before 7am or after 7pm. I know you can get a permit from the town hall or something for lost valuables to use a metal detector. I just rarely see them. Hope ya find something good out there.

Honestly my feet have been okay so far. I tuck my pants into my boots, so very little air gets through. My feet do get a little chilly when I get a lot of snow on my boots, but otherwise not too bad.

Definitely deserve a sub!

Haha I am a bit of a lunatic when it comes to detecting. I like going out in the winter with less bugs and ticks. Just me and the snow lol. Honestly, it's not too bad if you get a cheap thermal layer. I wear a balaclava as well. Only thing that bothers me are my gloves. Maybe I'll go over what I use for detecting in the winter in a video or something!

@teed412 that would be great!

@@teed412 If you like detecting in the cold and snow, you should come up to the Erie area! Plenty of old industrial or industrial-ish sites lying around, but with the added challenge of 3-5 feet of snow around this time of year 😅❄

@@stevenp6155 Erie is definitely on my radar! The lake effect on Erie is crazy, though. I'll definitely have to give it some time before I try up there haha.

Ohh, good idea on the 27:55! Those might be pickaxes, yeah. I'll have to dunk them in the electrolysis tank to see if they come out any clearer.

It looked like a pick axe to me as well

Hey, SnapScavenge! I've been following some of your bottle hunts. I bet those locations would produce a few interesting items with a metal detector!

@ haha I thought about taking one down there maybe I will one day soon.

Hey, MisterWannabee! Thanks! Yeah, it can be interesting for sure. I found an Indian Head Penny from 1891 right after filming this too! Go figure my GoPro gave up while making this video lol. I have a new one now, so I plan on getting out there and recording something soon! My only reservation about the place is that the subsidence could get worse, or open up a significant sinkhole. Otherwise, the coal mine site is pretty neat!

I think I cracked the edge of it with my shovel, but it's sitting in my garage now. Pretty stiff from years of sitting there under the dirt, so I am not sure it'll ever retake its original shape. I'm slowly putting pieces together for an electrolysis setup, so hopefully soon I will have some decent pics of a few hand drills and etc. that I have pulled from here.

nice bucket!!!!

Hey, Sweetdiggz! Thanks for stopping by! I've been pleasantly surprised by the path strategy! Cowboy hat is definitely awesome lol.

Thanks for subbing! Happy hunting to you as well!

Haha I'm just glad I found it before the mole came back for it. In all seriousness, it seems like it is some kind of pin or brooch. The pin part seems to have broken off, but the hooking mechanism is still there on the bottom.

Hey, Sweetdiggz! Thanks for checking out my channel! I've spent a good amount of time researching it, but couldn't find anything concrete about its origins. My best guess is old military button, yeah. Yeah! I haven't opened the lipstick since I brought it home. It has leaked a goofy substance since sitting in my display case. It's sitting on a paper towel now lol. Yeah, plenty of pottery around our rivers here. Thanks! I really appreciate you checking my videos out. Been watching yours for a bit! I'll try to edit my next one soon!

Doesn't hurt to ask them! My complex was surprisingly okay with it, since we were given 2 spots.

Thanks, @outdoorswithaaron4145! I appreciate the sub, too!

@@teed412 no problem love seeing people detecting cool spots

Hey, Explosivelybrilliant! I tossed that thing the second I got back to the parking lot lol. Way too heavy to keep lugging around. I honestly should've kept it for scrap, looking back. It's going to take me a long time before I can take my stuff to a scrap yard and get money for it though!

Hey, Explosivelybrilliant! I had a coworker tell me they were very tiny lead sinkers! That is my working guestimate at this point haha. You make a good point, though. I will try to use the community page more often, especially for hunts I don't record.

Hi, Louv. Yeah, Dean Speed Rampage. I am fairly certain I took the baffles out during the recording of the video. So baffles should be out. I do have a few videos before this where the baffles were still in. I decided to take them out because with the baffles it's just too muted for me. Without baffles, it isn't too terribly loud but it has the growl I was looking for haha.

Certainly not enough evidence to prove otherwise, so at this point it is definitely a cyber dinosaur jawbone lol

Hey, MisterWannabee! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you're still enjoying the channel even though I switched up the content a bit. I know I lost a few people when I started uploading the metal detecting stuff. Glad you stuck around! The Shoei I got is an RF-1400. I thought about the modular Shoei but I ultimately went with the RF-1400 because I'm more comfortable with standard full-face helmets. Helps with the GoPro setup and stuff too, don't have to worry about extended wires and such since the helmet doesn't lift up and etc. So far I like my Shoei better than my old Bell Qualifier helmet, but that's not saying much when the Bell was a $120 helmet and the Shoei is closer to $600... lol. Big price difference, and you can definitely tell! If you do decide to go Shoei, I'm sure you'll find something that fits your needs. Thanks again for watching, and sticking around!

Any suggestions where I should metal detector?

Hey, Santo! Thanks for watching! It seems like a lot of people are picking up metal detecting lately! Welcome to the hobby! I started out on the Minelab Vanquish 540. The 440 should be an awesome machine for you. I can't speak to any of the Garrett machines, but I loved my Vanquish. I still have it as a backup! Any Pittsburgh city parks are free game as far as detecting goes. Just be careful and be aware of your surroundings. Some parks are a little sketchy. The smaller townships and stuff that are not within city limits all have their own separate rules unfortunately. Most are cool with it, but some aren't. The only township I couldn't get permission from so far was Ross Township. I also tried getting some permissions from local schools, but so far no luck. Maybe you can try asking some of your local schools if you can detect there! Definitely some old schools around here. Either way, welcome to the hobby and thanks again for watching!

Hey, Santo. I would try some Pittsburgh city parks first. Something like Frick Park or maybe even somewhere near you. If you look up your local township/municipality's ordinances, most of the time they will label if metal detecting is not allowed. If you can't find anything that says metal detecting is forbidden, then you're more than likely okay to detect there. If you're really worried about getting permission, feel free to call your local township's parks department and ask if it's okay to detect in their parks. I've only had one township let me down like I said in my other comment. So far everyone else has been nice. Hope this helps!

I agree. Definitely need something to tie it down if you expect heavy winds in your area.

​@@teed412Definitely. I did 😂😂😂

Hey, Explosive! I can absolutely share that! I use a GoPro Hero 8 as my primary camera when metal detecting and on my motorcycle. I also have an Insta360 X3 I use for my motorcycle videos on occasion. I manually edit all my footage and I record in a way that is convenient for me to edit easily. Very minimal edits are made in my videos. I mostly cut the super boring parts out, or the awkward pauses haha. I use the software "shotcut" to edit my videos together. It's a simple, free software I found on a KZbin tutorial somewhere. Thanks for the question, and thanks for sticking around and continuing to watch my videos. I super appreciate it!

Hey, Mrmetaldetectorist! Thanks for checking out a few of my videos! I honestly think it's a mixed bag. I like the beach for the increased chances of finding silver/gold, but I also like the old homesteads and abandoned areas for the historical artifacts. I love the idea of finding some old colonial coins or even just some old relics from Pennsylvania's history. I have a few coal miner tags from the 1800s that I am pretty stoked about, but I'd love to find more precious metals this year. I completely agree. I am so nervous to talk to the camera when others are around because I'm afraid they'll think I'm nuts haha.

It makes me so self-conscious, haha. I don't think I'll ever get used to it!

Thanks!! I still consider myself a novice, but I'm getting out there and exploring! Hoping I find some silver this year.

Hi, @christopherrose3399. This is in Pittsburgh, PA.

Hey, Explosive! Good to hear from you again! Yeah... it's gross. Wish something could be done about it, but there will always be bad pet owners unfortunately.
