Beach Metal Detecting IDD 378 Detecting Hurricane Low Spots

[@savagesquirrel9828]

I’m amazed at how clean the first Wheatie was. I was also surprised by how little beach is left at high tide! Thanks for getting out there.

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Squirrel , sometimes the green just slides right off. They are made of 95% copper and 5% either tin or zinc . I suspect the ones that tend to wipe clean have the tin. Zinc get eaten up in the salt water like we see with the newer plated zinc pennies. I think the zinc would cause the green to stick. We were having very high tides at that time due to the Moon . Thanks for watching .

Wow nice buffalo coin. Hope you get some gold before it gets too cold . It's going to be cold for awhile though. Stay safe 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Joanne , thank you . The water temp is down to 75 degrees . Not many people swimming now. When it gets below 72 they pretty much stop getting in the water until May. I hope to get a little more gold before the end of the year . It has been a rough season for gold this year on Daytona. Thanks for watching .

[@terrireed2631]

Coin kind of day! Better than nothin! Thanks for the beachy goodness.

Hi Brian. Sorry your rotator cuff is giving you trouble. I can relate I’ve been in so much pain lately because rain then cold and snow. Yes we had are first snow we didn’t have much and it’s gone today but it still sucked. You had a great hunt today. It was cool you found a buffalo nickel. I love old coins. They’re fun to see and find. Take care. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Verette , it healing slowly . The cold has made it here , its in the 50s tonight . Thanks for watching .

Bumped into an old friend up here in Canada, he and the family vacation in Florida every Christmas, he was telling me when they’re near Sebastian they do a beach day, rent metal detectors to search for old coins from the Spanish wrecks. They knew the names of the ships and the whole history and told me about the museum etc. have you ever heard of anyone finding coins from any of these old wrecks? Makes me want to buy a new metal detector and fly down for a week just to check it out. Thanks for the videos!!

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi GOLDnSILVERStacker , the museum is great. My friend Jimmy Crossbones on KZbin has had some fantastic finds down there. He has a video titled Spanish Gold that shows some of his finds. There is also a video on GONE DIGGIN channel where he interviews Jimmy and shows clips from this amazing day hinting the treasure coast titled "Feet in the sand" . Jimmy found a bunch of amazing finds. I think you will enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching .

[@Quickcat21MK]

Yes. Several of the wrecks were close enough to shore for MD finds. Need the right conditions, but yes. There are old timers that have found HUNDREDS of coins and artifacts, gold, silver, and iron.

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Quickcat , just have to be in the right place at the right time ! Thanks for watching .

[@GOLDnSILVERStacker]

Thanks for the reply. I subscribed to both channels. I’ll check out some videos.

A couple in Florida associated with Garrett back in the 70’s were giving tips and stories in a magazine article, the husband used a lot of discrimination to bypass junk and the wife didn’t use any and dug up everything, she detected trash on one spot and it turned out to be a platinum ring with diamonds.

[@sandrarogers1200]

Always a fun hunt at yhe beach! It's been a while since I've handled a buffalo nickel! It seems to me, that i used to see a lot of them as i grew up in the 60s!

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Sandra , as a kid half the pennies in my pocket were wheat cents . lol You just don't see the older coins much anymore . Thanks for watching .

[@GENOBURRITO1]

Love finding the buffaloes. As you said, the dates are hard to come by since they are on a high spot. I’ve probably dug about 6 or so and only one has a date that’s legible. Still cool to find.

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Geno , I found a real nice one years ago in a yard . The date was perfect too. It was from the 1920s. It must have been lost when new. The beach sand wears on them. Thanks for watching .

[@outlawjjsmith]

Keep swinging. It's getting chilly

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi JJ , a chilly 64 degrees here . Thanks for watching .

[@timmyshaw5562]

Nice video and finds. Congrats on the Buffalo. I'm going back to a school I detected last Sunday where I dug up a silver charm and a Silver Feng Shui Pixiu Mantra Ring.

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Timmy , thank you . Good luck out there ! Thanks for watching .

[@raydigsdetecting]

Nice hunt my friend 👍😎

Hi Ray . thank you . Thanks for watching .

[@lindabaldwin2568]

" A rotator cuff injury is awfully painful , makes yer eyes water . Todays finding of the buffalo nickle is exciting

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Linda , its getting better slowly. The old coins are always fun to find . Thanks for watching .

[@williamr8905]

a buffalo nickel is on my finds bucket list. I’ve been a couple years off a few times.

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi William , you will find one when you least expect it ! Thanks for watching .

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice work Brian!!!!! I need to find a folgorite ( spell check) things, they look neat

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi baystateplugflipper, I find them after a big surf event. They are very hard like ceramic . You can hear it if you knock them together. Unlike cement having a more dull sound . Good luck and thanks for watching .

[@vinnieg.6746]

Another cool hunt. You can Nic-a-Date that buffalo to get the date. It is for sure the oldest coin of this hunt. They quit making them in 1938. It's the same year they started minting the Jefferson Nickle. No silver this time. But tomorrow... GOLD! I'm rooting for you. Great weather there right now. Stay safe brother.💯👍

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Vinnie , this hunt was a few weeks ago. I got ahead after the hurricane. I have been resting my arm. I did hunt earlier the week and was sorry I went with my shoulder being sore. Trying to keep up for a video each week . It has gotten cold here today. Its in the low 50s tonight. Thanks for watching .

[@ziskabrits618]

Never mind the weather…as long as we’re together ❤️🕊❤️😂

Hi Ziska , its a chilly 65 here today. Thanks for watching .

What video editor do you use?

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Hunter , I use Wondershare Filmora . I like it . Thanks for watching .

[@nickcivis]

Loved the penny comment!

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Nick , they don't buy much anymore. Thanks for watching .

[@spiceymchaggiss]

That nickel you found not the Buffalo is in good shape. Mine from the beach are always red and toasty. And the zincs I’m always amazed how damaged they get. Anyways great video and good luck out there. Hope you have a nice thanksgiving!

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Spicey , I think the red ones have been out there a real long time . I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving as well . Thanks for watching .

[@beachhuntersouthafrica]

Surprised these no light weight jewelry coming out .. I know all about rotator cuff injuries ... done both of mine twice each ... just keep in mind they never fully heal so they tend to flare up again! Cheers .. From one Brian to another!

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Brian , I have done both on mine twice as well . lol Last time it was a year and a half before I felt back to normal. They heal slowly . We have some jewelry in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching .

[@beachhuntersouthafrica]

@@idigdaytona4478 yup gotta take it easy after they heal .. so easy to to relapse!

[@ziskabrits618]

Joe Biden pennies cracked me up 😂😂😂

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Ziska , they don't buy much . Thanks for watching .

[@joesmith-es1zy]

The economy has been booming under Biden, wait until Trump completely destroys the economy and even a dollar won't buy anything.

[@joesmith-es1zy]

@@idigdaytona4478 Pennies haven't been worth anything for decades. It actually costs more to make them than they're worth, and it's been that way for a while. More than a few people have said we should stop making them.

[@brianw4brian]

How much of that junk you gonna throw out? I stopped years ago collecting rent stakes rotten pennies rings junk jewelry. Lol

[@idigdaytona4478]

Hi Brian , lol , I have a feed sack full of beach trash, and a jug full of bling. I toss the pennies that are too far gone. When I get too many coins , I take some to the Coinstar machine. I get about $400 a gallon . I collect all the nice rings and jewelry. Thanks for watching .
