Glad you're enjoying the channel. We're excited that people want to join us in our adventures!

Are Bill and Christine related? I thought they were just friends.

[@lindaseward7845]

Thank you both for cleaning up the beach. I always save the wide mouth juice bottles for my beach visits, just so I can fill them up with glass & trash. Nice find on the cross, looks like sterling silver & black onyx.

[@karencaban3406]

Great video guys. Thanks for using the Garrett’s. The ace apex is the detector I use. I find it easy to use and it seems to find just as much as other detectors. I go detecting as often as I can but really enjoy watching your videos when I can’t.

[@chrisgorzynski6943]

Aww thanks for helping out the little crab. Good luck today!

[@christinethestringbean]

We all need a little help sometimes...

I know we all pick up trash and I think it's a good idea that we all follow up and show our subs that we do like Grandma Kelley and you have, Luvin the Hunt, GOD bless and stay safe

[@brianbeckstead9212]

Thanks for helping clean up the mess. As a metal detector myself it is amazing the trash we find.

[@bottlecapdave2021]

I ran with an Apex for my first year of detecting. It finds stuff, brilliant on the beach but it did not do too well in 100 year old trashy parks. Also silver came up as different tones/numbers in the ground than out of the hole... so I only found 9 silver objects in that whole year. I switched detectors to a Vanquish and I have been having a blast ever since. 30+ silver objects in 5 months, 320 year old silver coin, 1300 year old penannular brooch. Never going back.

[@noraschwerdt1337]

Feel better Christine, give yourself time before having another burrito. Thanks for cleaning up the trash! Nice job saving the crabs...

It wouldn't be the same without Christine's car sounds, especially the police and ambulance sounds. Every time I find a car at the beach now I here Christine's voice making that sound.. it's very weird! Bill I have to say I actually really like that hat.. what style do they call it? It looks like it's very practical. This is one of the few times at the beach that you guys haven't found a ring that I can remember though. That means the next Beach search will be a score day.

Thank you so much for picking up Trash.. Seems as if Trash is still being dumped out a Sea. My last trip to our Beach I ended up picking up Trash before the incoming tide took it out. Beach was packed & only Beach Santa was picking up Trash. So I really appreciate those who pick up Trash 💕🏖️

Yeah, that is the worst we have seen it. I did not even know where to begin...went for plastic and sharp stuff. Figured it was the most important to remove. Thank you very much

I really like the Garrett Apex Christine is using because of the clear precise tones. How did you like it Christine?

[@christinethestringbean]

I'm not a quick learner on things, so its been a bit of a learning curve for me. I favor the Vanquish for sure... I would need to give the Apex a little more time to get used to it.

Nice on the save of the little crab, awesome job on the clean up. I think a video some day of you guys doing only a clean up on the beach or even the park be cool video.

Quick question Bill what do you think about that Ace apex. How does it perform for you? I've heard pros and cons about it both. so I was thinking about getting one but I'm kind of on the fence.

[@DigginSoCal]

Being a NOX fan and having issues in the past with the AT Pro, I was skeptical. However, The few times I have used it, it seems to do a great job finding targets. I only got it because a friend loves it and it is his favorite machine. I still prefer my NOX but I would grab it over other detectors I have. It did get a bit jumpy in some black sand at the beach but I probably did something wrong... I really have no complaints about it!

[@dannywilliams3516]

@@DigginSoCal thank you Bill I appreciate the feedback. Yeah I can understand why you love the equinox you know what they say man once you go knocks you never go back. Lol. If I had the money to afford an equinox I would have one also. I just have the Simplex but I sure like it better than some of the other machines I've used it seems to do a really good job of finding things for me. Have a good week bill.

[@wilsondowling7688]

@@DigginSoCal Black sand may have magnetite in it which is a type of iron oxide. So, that is why your detector is jumpy. It is giving false readings because it is detecting all that sand. Yikes.

I have a Garrett ace 400. My first good detector I bought was the Garrett ace 250. They seem to all have the different tones you gotta figure out but the numbers are pretty close. I watched a KZbin video on mine where the lady showed a bench test on all the different tones and numbers each thing you would normally find and I wrote it down on flash card to reference my finds. It helps if you don't know the detector all that great yet. Y'all might could start doing something like that for each other and the people watching on all the different brands y'all end up using in the videos.
