Keep looking for my ring. It would be easy to identify from the inscription inside “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them”. 😉

I really like your channel my guy. My wife is the one who garnered the interest in metal detecting, but after watching a couple of your videos, Im starting to get interested myself. Keep the content coming!!!!

You are the mentor I've been looking for, thank you for all your research and valuable input.

[@Cherrysuumer1232]

[@jeanponce2017]

Targets like slag "space peanuts" and melted aluminum cans "camp crap" roll around in currents quick because of their round shape. Flat targets slide and kind of surf up and down, back and forth. I used to paint pennies and drop them at different spots using different color paints and years later I'm still finding some relatively close by and some went over a mile from being tossed in either a swim spot or where a colonial stage coach bridges crossed. There's a lot of physics behind how the creeks, streams and rivers move things. The ocean is hard enough to figure out between storms, tides, wind direction and even moon cycles can figure into the equation. I just know I love the gravel strips (cuts) out around waist high when they pop up then the water goes calm for a few days. It's pure detecting gold. It's a lot more work fighting the waves but a lot of targets sit in those cuts and they can't get hunted out they're always moving around like it's alive lol

How are Connecticut beaches for metal detecting?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I would guess that you have to go in to the water because they are on the Long Island Sound. Long Island blocks big waves.

[@spacefury65]

Merrill, back in the early 80's, Orchard Beach had such bad erosion, they brought in dredged sand from Sandy Hook. Dropped off after beach season and left on dry sand like dunes. Then they spread it out all along the mid-wet sand and high water mark. The SILVER that you would find ON TOP just walking the dunes was crazy...

[@NewLevelAuto]

Love me some space peanuts. Considering grabbing some specimens and sending off for composition testing. Need to understand what the aliens used to build the bridge 😂

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

This is Keith's channel....Keith coined the term "space peanut".

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

I prefer electrolysis for rings & heavy encrusted coins, Tin foil is good for lightly tarnished silver non rare coins, Are space peanuts magnetic?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Hey Phil, I believe that space peanuts are aluminum.

[@cadrollhunting3564]

Love your content:) Have been metal detecting for almost a decade and even though my style is completely different than yours, it is always good to see how other people do it:) A few things i was wondering about, if you dig absolutely every target anyway, why waste any amount of time to narrow down what type of shape the target has? seems redundant and inefficient. After years of experimenting, i personally only dig really promising targets, yes you will miss the occasional outlyer, but you will end up fining much more high quality stuff because of the amount of time you are saving, if you live in an area with a low amount of good locations i understand the dig it all mentality, but for most people it is defenitely the wrong way to go if you want to increase your success, most gold and silver jewellery and shiny coins have usually very clear good signals.

[@geometricart7851]

some people do it for the thrill of the hunt I think.

[@larryharvey7709]

That was my thought process for a while. Until my partner said one too many times, “are you done in that hole?” Then went over and dug a gold ring out where I’d done 90% of the digging. Now I dig everything and don’t stop till I find it.

[@cadrollhunting3564]

I live in rochester ny so we are neighbors. I used it for the first time yesterday at lake ontario didn't get anything good but it does go pretty deep, found lots of pull tabs, bottle caps, can tops and shot gun shell bases. not bad at least I dug up stuff. you have a new subscriber for sure.

We get melted cans which are just like the South Beach space peanuts down our way. I had thought Lou coined that, so thanks for the education.

Can you do a video on the Gordon High-Precision metal detector set from Harbor Freight? It's a $149.99 metal detector. It's $119.99 if you have an inside track membership and another $25 off if you use a coupon which can be found anywhere. You can always give it to one of your kids after or give it to one of your students.

[@jjgbmw323]

Thank you for making such great videos. I found not to much yesterday and went out with the 900, on the beach in Mass/NH line. 1000 rings on every beach - an epic saying....i laughed about that in the rain

[@vernowen2083]

My 900 acts just like the Manticore, just no trace or fancy settings. Real hard getting used to all the new numbers but it still gives off that special squeal on aluminum. Also, I call fire melted aluminum chunks, fire pit gold.

[@johnhubbard6262]

Due to a bad harbor placement, along with the killing of waterways leading to the shore, our beaches do not replenish. They sand them every year using dredges, If you can get some time in while they are eroded down to rocks you can really find some stuff that has been there for years.

[@akamaikiwi]

Do you have any detector recommendations for ocean beaches like ny has?

[@Deus-Too]

I used to live in New Jersey when I was a kid, and we used to travel to Coney Island frequently to visit my grandmother. On the way there we would watch construction of the Verrazano bridge. Yea, I’m 72 years old. One note, though, it is not only one of the largest bridges in America. It is one of the biggest “suspension” bridges in the world. And down here on Palm Beach County beaches, we don’t have space peanuts….. but we do have a lot of GARBAGE THAT PEOPLE ARE TOO LAZY TO CARRY OFF THE BEACH! Sorry for screaming, but it’s really annoying how much crap I dig on the beach every day. 🤨

I live in St Pete. People are truly lazy. The trash on these beautiful beaches is really disheartening.

[@AmericanMinutemen]

Hi, I know of a mountain lake in which a stainless steel Rolex GMT Master (6,000.00 - 13,000.00) was dropped about 20 feet from shore at a floating dock around 51 years ago. At the time, it was, maybe 10 feet deep at that point from shore. Do you suppose that it would be worth searching for it using a Deus II and SCUBA gear? The water is cold. The water is generally calm. Do you suppose that an heavy watch would stay in place in such a location for that period of time?

[@bobidos123]

I've always used aluminium foil and gently with a green side sponge pad rub the foil to lightly scratch it then spit on it and put the ring in it. Rub between fingers and it warms up and stinks of sulfur. Go as far as you like but a min or two is enough. Great on hammered coins and such. Leaves a nice patina.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Of the three for a beach use the Legend. Go when the beach is low and consider the wave speed. If the wave speed is slow it stays where it drops. If the wave speed is fast the treasure will move a lot. Check out my beach tutorial for strategies.

Another good way to clean up your silver treasures is after you do your boil & wipe them off, use an old tooth brush toothpaste and some baking soda again. You just might be super pleased w/the results and it doesn't take much elbow grease. Highly polished rings without any extra scratches or gouges.

[@kidkenosha2790]

This process works w/heavily tarnished jewelry even w/o the boil.

Just get proper silver polish. Baking soda is too abrasive.
