Beach Detecting Gold & Silver | 1000 Step Beach

Join me as I metal detect 1000 Step Beach in Laguna Beach, California. I find Gold and Silver rings, a bunch of crusty clad coins. I was also joined by Irene and Andrew who have just created their own channel " Detecting Together for Treasure".
Irene and I treasure hunt using a Minelab Equinox 800 and Andrew uses a Minelab Excalibur II.
I would like to thank the CKG Scoop company for providing me with such an awesome beach scoop. I was really missing Old Rusty and to have something almost identical is like having my old friend and gold magnet back.

All Green Coins,,,,Yaaayyy Great Rings Also🤟🏾

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙

[@fredclemons8923]

Well good job guys nice finds nice video, see you on the next one 🇺🇸

[@funwithjim]

Thanks 👍

[@jojomart]

😮W The initials SR stands for slightly rusted. The factories can get sued for infections on the fingers so they put that as a warning on the ring.

[@dignthattonemetaldetecting5805]

Awesome finds. Especially all those coins. Thanks for sharing your finds

[@funwithjim]

sweet little bench really produced the clad, brutal walk out though! Lol! Thank you!

[@ladigger362]

I am not trying to tell the master how to target however I learned from the Gig master who uses the same coil we use if you use the tip to approach target then repeat again at 90 a degree angle you have it located I no longer pin point Dig On Jim !

[@funwithjim]

Lol, Thank you! 👍😎

[@flamingomtn]

I would be thinking either blue topaz or sapphire for the stone in the white gold ring. Gorgeous!

[@funwithjim]

I confirmed that it is a Zircon stone as I found the exact one for sale online, though no definitive answer to what the SR means yet. Thank you! 👍

[@raydigsdetecting]

Super hunt Jim, that was a great haul of clad💲💲, 3 rings, and a stair climb work out. I was tired just watching...lol👍😎

[@funwithjim]

I was happy to locate the great patch, I love it when that happens. 3 rings is always fun but that climb out is brutal. 👍😎

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

got a work out on steps and then the weight of all the trash and Coinage dug.. Congrats on the rings.. Awesome

[@funwithjim]

My buddy Russ at 84 walked up and down those stairs at least 4 days a week, those stairs are brutal. Love finding the little honey patch on the beach, Thank you! 👍😎

[@bettyhair5007]

Great video as always. Nice ring! Thanks for your input on the turquoise cuff. I tested it and it turned red!

[@funwithjim]

Awesome, RED - that is a great sign the redder the better. Thank you!

[@dawnthemetaldetective3083]

I can not believe that none of coins that came out of that little honey hole weren’t silver. Congratulations on the gold ring love the color of the stone.

[@funwithjim]

all modern oldest was in the 1980's shows, I was lucky to find that great little honey patch on that bench. I did confirm that stone is natural Zircon.

[@dawnthemetaldetective3083]

@@funwithjim it is very pretty. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.

[@tammyabel2737]

I love Bill and cupcake lady.

[@funwithjim]

They are a lot of fun for sure, Thank you 🧁🧁

[@bobneal1960]

Nice finds

[@funwithjim]

Thank you! 👍

[@jenethamilton226]

Those houses look spooky.

[@funwithjim]

Some are spooky looking, then others are just breath taking. 👍😎

[@darbyc8735]

I heard the waves were glowing in the dark the last few nights in Laguna Beach. Those steps have got to be horrible to walk up.

[@funwithjim]

Red algae create the bioluminescent, beautiful to see at night awful for our and environments health. Stairs were brutal but well worth the fun we had on the beach. Thank you!

[@vernowen2083]

Loved it! Early bird gets the worm as my grandpa used to say. Had a great day myself yesterday. Went to a no dig park and apparently no one else does. Tot lot was a gold mine.

[@funwithjim]

Yes the early bird does get the worm. It was nice to find that sweet little coin patch. Tot lots can be very good! Thank you! 👍

[@kylesmith9804]

Remember, don't assume it's copper. Rose gold has a copper tone to it.

[@funwithjim]

You are absolutely correct, Thank you 🤙

[@oldpelon7623]

Nice hunt

[@funwithjim]

Thank you!

[@denniscarey2688]

Your right it's a helzberg either a blue topaz or aquamarine with two diamonds retail $195

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@steveandermatt5668]

Your wife's new ring is a beauty. Very surprised you didn't have a silver dime at 16:40 when the dime flipped onto the quarter it sure sounded like a silver coin out of the two coins.

[@funwithjim]

I was thinking the same, I had to double and triple check. actually the oldest coin was from the 1980's. Wife does like the ring, 😥

[@tomburdett6639]

👍👍👍😁

[@kylesmith9804]

10k st means solid 10 carat gold, and the SR is the makers mark

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙

[@joesmith-es1zy]

Helzberg Jewelry often includes the initials of the jewelry collection it comes from. FD is another such mark which stands for Fascinating Diamond's, so your SR is the line it came from.

[@funwithjim]

Thank you for the information, 👍

[@Sonya-ew4si]

There are blue diamonds. And yellow ones. Ya just never know 😂

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙

[@starsoulorginal]

No detecting for.me to day. Unless someone calls for it ( got a detecting firm its my job ) so its perfect to watch fun with jim on the bigscreen in a very relaxing bed position....🙂👍 great vids jim tnx

[@funwithjim]

You certainly have a fun job, Thank you! 👍😎

[@tomburdett6639]

A for Alvin and the Chipmunks. Lol

[@funwithjim]

Lol! 😂

[@flamingomtn]

I have that exact pendant and it was SO exciting until I tested it.

[@funwithjim]

Certainly those gold rolled items take you breath away! 👍😎

[@davendana07]

I was there the day before you were and didn’t find half the clad you did!

[@funwithjim]

That had to have been my best clad day at that beach since Rosa, All the crusty clad was found in a very small section on that bench at the far south corner. 👍😎

[@kylesmith9804]

The Blue looks like Safire

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 👍

[@sheilad6237]

If I remember right sr means 10k solid ring , but there is sr diamonds, make sure it’s not a blue diamond ?

[@funwithjim]

I will have to check that out, Thank you! 👍😎

[@panthercityoutdoors]

you never gave a close up of the stone, but it looked light blue. it could be an aquamarine

[@funwithjim]

Sorry, I forgot to add close ups. I will try to remember and do that. I did some research and confirmed it is a natural zircon. Thank you! 👍😎

[@gregs2509]

Awesome hunt! The 10K ring appears to be a sapphire to me, so maybe SR is Sapphire Ring? Is that too simple?

[@funwithjim]

Definitely not a sapphire, since it is a Helzberg Ring I found it online and confirmed it is natural Zircon. Still not sure what SR means but I noticed it a lot on many of the Helzberg rings.

[@kimtreadwell3994]

How do you clean your coins? And does it work for pennies, as well?

[@funwithjim]

I use a rock tumbler, with stainless steel jewelry cleaning media, with water mixed with lime away or clr. Yes it works on pennies but they must be done separately as the silver looking coins will look copper colored due to ionic bleaching. Also once you use the stainless steel cleaning media on pennies it can no longer be used with silver colored coins. So I clean all the quarters, dimes and nickels together. I have a tutorial in my Tutorial playlist on cleaning coins.

[@gloriaco9105]

Hello Jim. How do you clean your crusty coins?

[@funwithjim]

rock tumbler with stainless steel jewelry cleaning media, a little warm water and toilet bowl cleaner.

[@williamguinn233]

I notice that you dig targets twice but you have a lot of experience. I pull a scoop out then recheck the hole before I dump it

[@funwithjim]

I toss the target out, then recover the target. Usually the faster way to recover a target, I also pull a scoop and verify it is out before I shake it or dump it. So everything is based on the current dig conditions and as someone with a lot of experience I do choose the fastest method of recovery as possible. However it doesn't mean it worked out that way, Lol! Thank you! 👍😎

[@garrettnox8911]

💪💪💪🌊👌

[@funwithjim]

🤙😎

[@thingamujigger1585]

10KSR means "strong" alloy.

[@funwithjim]

"strong" Thank you! 👍😎

[@landsail130]

What size coil do you use 11 or 15

[@funwithjim]

I hunt mainly with the 15" coil. Thank you! 👍😎

[@mortonyakimadetectingthepa9015]

Its not racist its metalist

[@funwithjim]

Lol, Thank you! 👍😎
