Australian Beach Metal Detecting - "Jackpot?"

Welcome to the new year!
Back on the beach hunting down recent, and some not so recent, finds. It's a day full of strange and cool finds, so strap in and join me in this beach metal detecting adventure!

[@rudigginit]

Brilliant watch Thanks for sharing my friend 👍

[@JustJayDetecting]

Thank you, appreciate it 🙂

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

What a fun dig! This is the first time I've seen your channel, and I've liked and subscribed. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. How odd to find those items with writing.

[@JustJayDetecting]

Thank you! This video has kind of exploded, I'm a little shocked at how well it's doing 😅

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@JustJayDetecting Enjoy the ride. It was a great video. I really like your demeanor on cam and will watch more of your content. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Ki Ora happy new year from NZ I found a Aussie $2 on a beach last week you wonder how they get there some times been wet and not very warm the last few day but every day detecting is a great day 😊

[@JustJayDetecting]

Happy new year! Yeah I found an American quarter out walking my dog the other day, makes you wonder how they end up where they do.

We still use the same silver coins in the plum pudding that were first used in 1901. We just swap them over for modern coins, funny how a thrupence is now a dollar.

[@JustJayDetecting]

@@1mmickk oh that's cool!!

[@jeffholmes1362]

Happy new year, I hope there were plenty of beach parties and bonuses left for you.

[@JustJayDetecting]

Happy new year! I'll be heading out this afternoon at low tide to see what they all left. Bottle caps I imagine 🤣

[@jeffholmes1362]

@ yep, I was going out at 6am, then my wife said, let’s go out for breakfast, so I’m guessing, I’ll see what get left for me later.

[@JustJayDetecting]

@jeffholmes1362 good luck!!

[@gregpickrill2340]

Great vid mate can you tell what setting did you use on the garret

[@JustJayDetecting]

I'm running it in Zero mode, zero discrimination (helps with finding deeper targets, but I didn't find any in this vid). I also need to ground balance when moving between wet and dry sand, and dialling down the sensitivity a little on wet sand to reduce falsing. I really need to do a demo video on this.

[@Blackwidowtt2000]

Enjoyed the video. Seems it was filmed over a number of days or more?. Is that the case?

[@JustJayDetecting]

Hey thanks for the kind words! Yeah that's correct, filmed across two days at the one location.

[@mmmsaid7524]

Is there a list of beaches in Victoria where prospecting is allow, can find a list or a map online.

[@JustJayDetecting]

I'm not sure sorry, I'm not from Victoria unfortunately.

[@craigdutton6072]

I call the pull tabs duck callers !sit the base in the palm of your hand and speak 🗣️ into the circle ⭕️ !calling all ducks come in all ducks 😂(swamp the cartoon )

[@JustJayDetecting]

Love it!!

[@eriksturm7599]

I keep waiting for the crocodile to come out of the brush and take you

[@JustJayDetecting]

@eriksturm7599 no crocs in my part of Australia, thankfully!!

[@specialized29er86]

Wondering why the hand piece doesn't beep.

[@JustJayDetecting]

The audio is dead on it unfortunately 😔

[@anthonyplayground1402]

Jackpot .... your local metal detecting club prob had an outing and illegally defaced some coins - we used SS washers

[@JustJayDetecting]

Yep, I think you might be right!

[@michelerobins124]

Good on ya for the throw-backs.

[@JustJayDetecting]

Yeah it didn't feel right. That beach is probably the most detected beach in Australia, so I can garauntee some other detectorist has them by now 😁

[@ElijahZylah]

By a bloody scoop!

[@JustJayDetecting]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have a think about it.

[@roberttudor455]

Scoops are heavy and cumbersome.. i use a fold shovel so much easier.

[@michelegrice4938]

I think those coins are in memory of someone

[@JustJayDetecting]

Interesting theory! If that were the case I'm even more glad I left them behind 🙂

[@hattice1453]

Define buldunuz mu hiç?

[@JustJayDetecting]

I find coins, rings and jewellery, rubbish, and the occasional relic. But if you mean treasure chests and buried hoards of coins, then no 🙂

[@gordonmccreadie2008]

Other detectorists seed the beach to annoy others,had a jerk seed the beach here with 400 5 cent pieces to deter me from the spot.

[@JustJayDetecting]

Holy smokes, that's incredibly childish, I've never heard of anything like that before!

[@gordonmccreadie2008]

@JustJayDetecting yo mate,I spent a week finding all of them,then he approached me at another park like he owned it and confessed he was responsible for it.i never thought people were like that.he was leaving holes in the parks and trying to blame others for it.i unformed the council workers of him so they knew the truth.have not seen him lately.in the spot he seeded I found a gold artifact from a ship wreck washed up in a storm.i made a mistake telling him when I first met him.

[@YoImJustSomeGamerGuy]

Only real ones know some of these a reuploads 😂

[@JustJayDetecting]

@YoImJustSomeGamerGuy all the finds in my long form videos are split out into shorts, so yeah kind of!

[@YoImJustSomeGamerGuy]

@ still watching it anyway, gives me hope I’ll eventually find something 😭

[@WilliamHudgins-n7q]

You can scarff up more coins in a day than a homeless person begging on the street. Well done!

[@stevenbodor-b1z]

Stop ragging on the guy...geeez

[@JustJayDetecting]

Cheers mate, appreciate the support!

[@massimoemma6617]

ma con tutto loro che c'è in Australia vai a cercare in spiaggia?se fossi io andrei a cercare altrove ..... ,😀💪

[@JustJayDetecting]

I only do the beaches after storms or really warm days when there's likely to be lots of things to find. Otherwise I hunt other areas that most detectorists don't think to do.

[@maurogarreffa6719]

Could've put them coins in a charity box, their still usable...first you said you'll take it, then started thinking lol, so you decided to show a statement to those individuals involved in this joke, by throwing them back,,....it's a joke mate, don't let something so simple hurt your pride...plenty of poor people with hands out waiting for a dollar, if ya look around, plus no metal detector needed to find them...

[@JustJayDetecting]

I donate all the modern currency I find to charity at the end of the year, I have a video showing my collection for 2024 that covers the topic, you're welcome to go have a look 🙂

[@maurogarreffa6719]

@JustJayDetecting Legend, Thank you 🤜🏻🤛🏻🕶👍🏻
