Beach Metal Detecting | 5 Rings In The Scoop with Equinox 800

A five hour hunt today yielded 5 rings. A ring an hour, not too bad! I started this hunt heading south of my usual hunting grounds finding 2 possible fresh drops in a swimming area. After clearing out the area, I headed north to my honey hole which was sanded in. On the forth hour I finally found a nice patch in a tidal cut which produced 3 more rings and pendants. Hope you all enjoy this hunt :)

Hey,,,kindly let me know witch detector is best for searching precious stones(gems).. going down to sri lanka,,hoping do some mining there..cheers..

[@chetgibson267]

There are no detectors that detect gemstones. Metal detectors detect metal. You probably need some type of sluice or screen system to find gems. Try googling it.

[@alexandervalaris72]

I don't do it because in Connecticut any personal items like jewelry you have to turn in to authorities. I'm not spending money and time to find things just to return them. If there's identification with an object than that's one thing but a ring or watch should be finders keepers. You obviously don't have the same laws in your state.

[@geko6x9er]

It's funny people in Australia just walk past and give you a weird look you seem to get swamped over there I admire your patience

[@BeachPirate]

heh very true. In Sydney I could hunt the beach at peak times and no one cared. Sometimes when I am tired and hungry my patience is limited 😅

[@random4969]

These weird looks your refering to are just hello looks, guess some things about a different culture will looks off to a forigner

Wow! The rings. I can’t wait to detect on an ocean beach! Great video

[@CashDigger]

GOLD or not - no matters! It was a nice day with nice finds! I love such long sunny beaches. Keep it on! 👍🏼👏🏼

Thanks Cash Digger :) Good luck on your next hunt

[@shashiekka7917]

though I had some problem with sea water It also kzbin.infoUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

[@trippingonrocks1165]

First time watching your video! I'm sure everyone watching gets excited when you get a signal, no matter what you find. It's more the excitement and anticipation of the hunt! I live right on Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota, now I want to do that too!

[@geraldmartin8195]

Well done. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for your kind comment Gerald, much appreciated :)

[@Uncommon_Sense01]

Where are you detecting? Looks like a nice spot. Also i love how you keep your videos realistic and natural, no silly hype or exaggerating and no click bait. Great job!

[@JDegtoff]

YES! For F^(&s sake I hate all those over exaggerated videos that are just time wasters. They were not even funny at the beginning of that lame trend. enough of that. And again, bueno, bueno video, senor. How much would you think you "netted" if you sold the valuable finds that no one claimed? just curious.

The earlobe thing is called a Guage I believe. Great finds Mr B. Got a super low tide here next weekend ... hoping to score ONE ring over that weekend ...lol. GL&HH

[@ivyanddadmetaldetectinguk9192]

What an awesome hunt , congrats from the UK

[@TarotBob]

A very enjoyable hunt with some nice finds, I always enjoy watching your adventures on the beach. I'm sure like many of your subscribers I would love to detect that beach, but distance and health makes that dream virtually impossible. But I'm so pleased that you have found such a target rich location with no competition, what a huge potential for many more great finds. Good Luck on your future hunts, fingers crossed for some awesome finds.

[@BeachPirate]

Hi Bob, yes it is nice to have a target rich beach with little competition. But I think what makes this place special is the fact there are no coins in circulation. As you know clad can burn up a lot of time and energy. I am sure there are some amazing places all around the world with no competition. In Asia this hobby is almost unheard of. I am not sure about South America.. but I think it is mostly a western hobby. See you on the next hunt :)

You're the best bro... Hope next time we can do metal detecting in pattaya Thailand

[@jimhusselman4012]

I almost bet that the ring that looked like a class ring with the emerald/green stone is probably a us military Army ring from the post exchange-P/X. I HAD ONE WHEN I bought it after my advanced individual training then 10 years later I was awarded the real gold and emerald ring for recruiting excellence just before my morel award presented for top top honors in recruiting and it was awarded by CSM Morrel of whom the award is named after. Good luck mate

[@BeachPirate]

Hi Jim, no it is just a fake ring. That ring style of ring is popular in the shops here at the moment.

[@jimhusselman4012]

[@minnieearhart221]

Good finds!

[@BeachPirate]

Cheers Minnie :)

[@Kerblin]

That green gem ring you found is a class ring from high schools. It should have a date on the side that says when they graduated. Also those rings are expensive they range from 100$ - 1000$.

[@Kerblin]

Also by the shape of it I think it was a males ring. The males and females get different shaped rings.

[@BeachPirate]

Ahh that ring was just a fake :)

[@Booleys]

Awesome finds & great video. I enjoy watching them. I'm metal detecting myself too. What are your settings on the Equinox 800 in the wet sand? I hope Minelab will invent something like the CTX 3030 to identify bottlecaps. Looking forward to see your next video! Happy hunting.

[@BeachPirate]

Hey Booleys, I am always hunting in Beach 2.. Auto Ground Balance, Recovery 4-5, Iron Bias 1. Haha yeah seems bottle caps and pulltabs have been the bane of a metal detectorists existence. Thankfully in the wet I don't get too many.. the dry sand is impossible here. Trash everywhere. See you on the next hunt :)

[@ettenaejodeveca6707]

That was fun!

[@wallyandellen5099]

Nice pendants, coins and a super large ring that would have given you a smile. Last night I found 6 x $2.00 goldies and the day before 7 x $1.00 goldies...weird! on a sand hunt. Mate found 4 rings in the surf, one being a very old 9k bowling trophy ring.

[@BeachPirate]

Hi Wego, ahh I miss finding those goldies :) You mate cleaned up, do you mean like a 10 pin bowling trophy ring? I would be interested to see that 👍

[@wallyandellen5099]

Yes, ten pin bowling, similar to a class ring, but without the stone. It snapped in half when he cleaned it later.

[@detecciondetesoros1406]

Nice hunt

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow! What a day!

[@BeachPirate]

lol yeah at least the handle held out so I could get a reasonable hunt in.. would suck if it broke 5 mins in 😀

[@jackbarbett]

A totally enjoyable video beach hunt. Always a rush to find one of those big rings, and once you get used to it the disappointment is minimal. Don’t be grossed out by the ear ring, they probably also have rear rings out there..... I don’t want to talk about it! 🥴 I was very happy to see some Zombies arrive on scene, finally. They really add to your videos. Their curiosity shows you to be an adventurer from a far away land with his strange contraption. 😗 From what I could see that bullet shell could be 9.62 NATO used in M-14’s and M60 machine guns. As you say it should have green corrosion on it after 50 years. Along the New England coast here in the US we still find ammo from WWII. Big 50 Cal. shells still loaded. Very green indeed.

[@BeachPirate]

Hi Jack, I don't know much about firearms but one of the guys below mentioned it could be a 303 cartridge. When I did a google image search it looked like a match. LOL I think 50% of my subs come here to see me get annoyed by Zombies. There were a few more encounters but I was digging trash at the time...kind of makes for boring video. Maybe I should feature them anyway 👍

[@jackbarbett]

Beach Pirate Don’t worry you are doing fine. A lot of people look forward to seeing your videos as I do. There is an upbeat feeling to them even if you don’t score big. Very few videos make me wish I was there except yours. Keep having fun.🏴‍☠️

[@MrBubbles..]

what kind of scoop do you reccomend for detecting like this near saltwater use is nokta premium sand scoop any good ?

[@Bosk]

That's not a bullet. It's a shell. It is where the power is located on a Round. The bullet is the lead that comes out the barrel when you fire the gun.

[@hoopztube]

Awesome hunt as always. I have to ask, Do you run the latest firmware on your NOX? I also have that same issue as you. You think its time to leave, so you head back to your vehicle, and end up still digging more targets. Got a nice sun burn from this yesterday, where i was hunting an old army camp and decided to leave, took my hat off for the walk back, then dug about five more targets. LOL, I've even made a hashtag for this= #noxlife :)

[@BeachPirate]

Hey Soupbones, yes I am running the latest 1.75 update. Everything seems to be working fine, but the depth gauge is sometimes not accurate especially with the larger targets. lol love the hashtag! Oh yeah the sun in Aus is brutal, especially this time of year. Good luck on your next hunt mate :)

[@hoopztube]

@@BeachPirate Target depth is dependent on target size pretty much on any detector. Bigger targets will always come up as shallow even when they are deep. Dug up metal pipes away the beach because of this. Glad you like the hashtag. I use that on Instagram.

[@RustyRecovery]

[@bertcendejas765]

I've been to Danang a few years ago. Rented a surf board and had a go. That bullet Casing looks American. 7.62 X 51 so it is likely from the war. Did you see any stamping at the end?

Hi Bert, I didn't see any stamping from memory. Hope you had a fun time in Danang 👍
