A beautiful day at the beach with GOLD in the scoop!

The whole crew came out to search the beach. Some real nice pieces of gold were pulled out!!!

[@tracycoyne2920]

I think it would be interesting if you saved all the change you find in a year and give us that total. the big finds are neat.

[@DetectFlorida]

I keep all of my change in big buckets. It would be fun to keep track of how much I make per year in found change

[@JuliaHarrisx]

Great ring find and loved how he said straight away it would fit his wife. He’s going to be in her good books for a very long time!

[@DetectFlorida]

And it did fit her finger perfectly!!! It looks great on her!

[@diannesandenfebles2774]

I can’t believe you don’t interfere with each others’ signals…..seems like you’re awfully close together. Great gold finds!

[@DetectFlorida]

Certain machines interfere. We can noise cancel our machines and change frequencies if it gets bad

[@idetecth2o942]

Bruno didn’t look too happy, lol. Next time he won’t ask you over. It’s all in good fun and happens to all of us. What a fun hunt with good friends. That’s what it’s all about.

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha He loves to give me a hard time!

[@MermaidTreasureHunter]

Don’t you love when you are expecting foil or a pull tab and you get something GOLD! Every hunt is a fun hunt. Congrats on a fun hunt with friends.

[@DetectFlorida]

It's the best surprise!!!

[@alisoncleeton877]

I never thought about beachcombing actually in the water!👍

[@netamorton4832]

What a cool day, sharing time with your buddies! I never thought about finding what you found, a cremation tag! And the cross pendent was so pretty! And that ring your buddy found! As always love all the content and enjoy watching!❤️

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you so much!!!

[@calstayton3581]

I love your famous saying a freaking pulltab makes me laugh, but then I love it when you make a fantastic find😮😮😮😊😊

[@rozcrowden6629]

Awesome hunt. That beach looks amazing ❤

Just found your channel! I live in Jupiter! Where are you in Florida here? How much fun are these videos!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing your explorations in findings!!!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! I was in Bradenton here :)

[@jboat571x9]

Love your channel! You have me super hyped to blow 1600 bucks on a manticore by the way. I have an Equinox and a Nokta Legend currently. I really only bought the legend because of all the leaking issues the equinoxes were having and was worried mine might leak at some point. I couldn’t be happier with the legend tho, so I’m having a hard time justifying buying another detector. I can’t really imagine being able to recover a target in the water much deeper than I do now with the legend. You seem pretty happy with the manticore. If you have any experience with the legend, do you have any thoughts on one vs the other? Would love to see you do a comparison video on the beach and in the water between the two.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I've never used a Legend, so I can't comment on its performance. The manticore hits hard on deep targets, and I'm very pleased with its performance over the Excalibur. Its a stellar machine!

[@dianastonesifer4999]

I recently found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I love watching you search for treasures, especially when you are happy to help someone. That is so awesome. Just wondering what you do with your other finds? Do you sell them, scrap them, keep them? Thanks so much does the content. I would love to do what you do some day.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!! I keep all of the good finds. I have boxes and boxes of junk rings, and a few good ones ;)

[@RingsAndThings.]

Awesome, I’m from Nebraska and envy your clear water.

[@duffyaltermatt4811]

Hey just started watching you videos. You do a great job. Anyway you can put your finds at the end of the video and let your audience know if the finds are real or fake or what the object was. Keep up the great work

[@ticul111]

Well done fellas. Looks like you’re getting really familiar with the manticore. My Excal II broke on me last week and awaiting a new one from Minelab. So I’m going out tomorrow, using my Nox800 for the first time in the water. Praying for no leaks. 🙏

[@DetectFlorida]

Good luck! I recently sold my 800 for that very reason. I just didn't trust it or want a friend to be using it and have them feel terrible when it leaks

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Very cool nice find

[@greggcopeland3847]

That buckeye didn't deserve that ring, GO BLUE.

[@user-zc2xl2fy3u]

I have found a few nice gold chains but they are few and far between but I have been at for 50yrs keep on diggin!😊

[@billweser8931]

That was a great video of you finding the bottle.

Hey Shawn, good hunt buddy 😎

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Jimmy!!!

[@FloridaRobTreasureHunting]

Another good watch. I enjoyed the video.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!!

[@mwdjr3158]

That’s a great day guys. Thank you for sharing

[@debbie4220]

Nice find! I so miss being over there.😢 I also didn’t know that scattering of ashes was illegal. Is it the whole state or does it go by the county? I vote for you putting the cremation tag back in the water. Or is that illegal too?

[@DetectFlorida]

I believe its the state of Florida. You have to be so far off shore to scatter them.

[@monkabuda]

Another great hunt Shawn. I’m learning a lot about my manticore by watching your videos. That cross rung up as foil! I guess you need to dig every signal because you just never know!!!

[@debbiewedoe2564]

Fun video. Every day is good at the BEACH 🏝️

[@backbreakingmetaldetecting9587]

Wow what a great hunt you guys had

[@thomasbruhn3636]

Awesome videos man. You are definitely going to go big on KZbin. Just keep putting out this awesome content.

[@DetectFlorida]

The water isn't too bad. Its around 75-80 degrees in the summer. The spring is much cooler. Gators are around at times, but you just don't mess with them and they don't mess with you

[@edhughes8262]

Nice engagement ring 💍. You get less grief about all the time you spend detecting when you put something nice on the wife’s finger. Thanks for posting 👍🏻

[@DetectFlorida]

I'm sure it helps!! I'm living that single life so I just go out whenever 😜

[@bonnierindone5741]

Congratulations on reaching 10k!!!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! I can't believe that it happened all of a sudden like this

[@SaltwaterSean]

Way to go! Love the find :)

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks!!!!

[@flmediasolutions]

I was at this beach this morning and didn't find much. I'm thinking it's all making sense now lol

[@DetectFlorida]

Lol the hobby is becoming more popular. Its getting tougher to find the good stuff

[@Canuck.Collector]

Love your vids man keep up the good work

Thank you!

Nice finds ! Fun hunt!

[@lisarussell4224]

That was a beautiful ring your friend found!

[@johnnyhiett]

Diggem up 😂.....you're on my beach fer real.

[@RackCrossStudio]

Looks like fun! I have questions: What machine do you use? Headphones come with? Can bluetooth headphones work if your control box is under water? Thanks for the great content 💯

[@DetectFlorida]

I use a Minelab Manticore. The waterproof headphones are separate, and bluetooth does not work if the machine is underwater. Thank you!!

[@maxsands3861]

It's illegal to spread ashes at the beach? Lawmakers never cease to amaze me.

[@DetectFlorida]

Yeah, you have to be a certain distance from the shoreline. I don’t recall how far, but you’d need a boat to do it

[@jaimechapa7828]

Always one of my favorite finds is crusafix crosses

[@ButterflysBots4Beginrs]

Aloha Shawn....I really hope I'm spelling your name right...so what beach are you on this day...we would like to go as we saw that it's EMPTY PRACTICALLY!! I even said listen to how quiet it is, even though it got louder later...😂😂

[@DetectFlorida]

You spelled it correctly! This was Bradenton Beach. It's normally very busy. We just get there early before the huge crowds arrive

[@MrGravy_]

"that wouldve been mine" ahaha

[@DetectFlorida]

Hahaha he'd have never dug that "junk" signal ;)

[@ritahasz7352]

Fun finds 😊

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Rita!

[@user-sx2sb5vs8x]

did you share the cross find with the other guy? 6:14 minutes in, was that a proposal from Bill? thankyou, made me smile. great video!

[@DetectFlorida]

No, he'd never want it. We just metal detect for fun. Nobody in the group cares if someone finds something and the other person doesn't. He just jokes about everything

[@ssweat]

Dang great hunt guys, got me itching to get back to Florida :) Great Find Bill!

[@DetectFlorida]

Its just a quick flight. Do it lol

[@billlayman348]

Come on over buddy!!

[@chrisordiway7203]

Just found your channel and I'm enjoying you content, nicely done video's. What do you do with the cremation tags? Do you put them back in the water? You should post some footage of your coin stash and other collections...

Thank you!!

[@darilynkestner6607]

Love the videos. Do you need a special permit to detect in the water?

[@ImTimT.]

Not generally

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! Not on the west coast where I primarily hunt

[@phatzilias1075]

Great video, just wondering what settings you use on the manticore. I have one and I find that some targets disappear and reappear, I think because of ground balance tracking. What do you set for ground balance?

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks! I run the Surf and Seawater program with sensitivity at 15, threshold turned up until its audible, and I noise cancel every 20-30 minutes

Its from Stealth Scoops. The one I use is called a 720i Hybrid

[@calstayton3581]

You should try closeish Islands near to America and go for finding real buried treasure 😊😊😊😊 or go scuba diving

[@calstayton3581]

Do you have any islands near you as I think you might have more chances on places not visited so often 😉 maybe

[@DetectFlorida]

My next video will be at an island :)

[@nomgarvey6143]

Do you all try to find owners or is it only if you’re asked to go search? Is the motivation to make money or more to clear up the ocean? Just curious.

[@e.wells8260]

I am pretty sure Detect does try to put the item back with it's owner.

[@DetectFlorida]

We return things whenever we can. We’re in it for fun and good times, not money

[@zippie793]

You should use a sand sifter

[@oskardegerfeldt1708]

how much was the ring worth?

[@DetectFlorida]

He never got it appraised. She snatched it up SO fast 😂 I wish I had a better shot of it. It was NICE

[@aaronsheets4514]

I really like your channel. You’re always so positive and I find it relaxing to watch your channel after a rough day. Question. Have you ever used a detecting device that you pull behind you like in meteorite men to cover more ground? Would it just be too cumbersome or not work in the water?

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!! I've never used anything like that. I like to keep things relaxing and simple. Something like that would probably work, but I worry about having too much equipment and getting caught in a rip current

[@sunsetcliffs98]

How do you prevent viewers from scamming you claiming you’ve found the stuff?

[@DetectFlorida]

It's happened. I just require proof of ownership. If they can't come up with any, they don't get it

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

thought i found a silver pendant. had it tested. just junk. back to swinging at the beach. have a good day.
