Love the hunts at the Beach ... Yeah. Give you a different kind of workout walking in the sand for sure.

[@DigginSoCal]

Very true about the work out....especially in the dry sand...

[@kimross3245]

A pleasant surprise. Thank you

[@DigginSoCal]

You just never know....welcome

[@kevincarther]

Enjoyed your video.Thank you!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much. Happy New Year

[@marklanders630]

Seeing that T card made me think of when I was 18, fresh from Boston, sitting on the beach in Southern California. All the dreams and the whole world ahead of me. Just like millions of others.

[@DigginSoCal]

I agree... being young and having the whole world ahead of you is both amazing and scary. Life takes us on interesting paths and every turn changes your future... cheers to a great future for you!!!

[@robertshort6147]

Thanks for another great video! I sure wish folks would simply throw their trash away, but thanks from all of us fellow detectorists for doing so! Happy hunting!

[@DigginSoCal]

I think Christine and I will pick up the pace with our clean ups... Try and go to the beach just to collect trash..... It is kinds fun to walk up to people and collect trash right in front of them...lol

[@bernadettelopez5265]

Thank you for showing the ocean for a moment....I miss my home town very much and I can almost smell the water and feel the breeze...

[@dmeyerwausau]

I'm looking forward to many new videos in the new year. All the snow and cold will be here for at least four months from now. 😪😪 I hope to finding my first ring as soon as the snow is gone for the year. Happy hunting.

[@christinethestringbean]

I hope you find your first ring soon!!! I’m crossing my fingers for you! We can’t wait to go out and detect in the new year!

[@DigginSoCal]

That is a long time to not be able to detect..yikes... Thank you very much

[@AuDive0]

Hi Bill very cool video and hunt 👍. Very nice clad count Cha-Ching. Enjoyed it thanks.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks.... It is slow this time of year but still so darn nice out. Any find is a positive.

[@Playing4fun2]

Nice hunt and beautiful ocean view glad you got some treasures it’s to cold here and I’m sick trying to get better and I know I will that’s for sharing see you on the next hunt

[@christinethestringbean]

Get well soon Rosa!

[@Looter8TreasureHunter]

Must be nice to still be wearing a tshirt outside. We had to break thru a 4 inch ice crust in the woods today to dig up some treasures. Awesome hunt Bill.

[@DigginSoCal]

Wow... that sounds fun...not...lol. I was really hoping you all got scared in that tunnel...

[@Looter8TreasureHunter]

@@DigginSoCal I have to admit I was a little nervous lol .

[@noraschwerdt1337]

Thank you for cleaning up the trash! Nice scenery

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks Nora... we do remove a lot of broken glass. It is a good thing to do as we hunt the beach.... Happy New Year

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Bill that was a tough one, but as always you kept going. The beach is a lot safer now. Thanks for the video. looking forward to the next one.

[@DigginSoCal]

Can’t argue that. A rough day of finds but no complaints. I’m walking the beach on a beautiful day. Thank you

[@mountaintopgranny5661]

I'm telling Christine you found her cupcake money. Missed her! Happy new year to you!

[@christinethestringbean]

Hahahahaha. How dare he?!

[@cieradriver3940]

Love the waves! Happy you made another Wednesday video. 🤗 Ring a ding ding! Yearly wrap up on Saturday?

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks...we hit a couple parks...for tomorrow's video... not the best finds but fun. I think I am going to go to the beach and find a bunch of rings on new years day.... hopefully...lol

[@stargazer279]

Happy Holidays Christine and Bill

[@christinethestringbean]

Happy Holidays ❤

[@johnorourke2279]

Love the footage of the ebb and flow of the water, wonderful scenery.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks. It is memorizing to watch. Very relaxing

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Nice beach hunt. when you started watching the waves. That part was pretty cool cause the waves crashed and then rolled towards you. Not bad on clad and a couple more rings to add to the end of the yr. See You in 2023 You and Christine and little kitty have a Happy New Year. Peace

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... I can sit out there and just watch waves... so nice and relaxing. I was out there for 5 hours and the time flew by. Hoping for an awesome 2023 for everyone!!!

[@adventuresunknown1013]

That was awesome watching the waves go out and in at the same moment. I felt like I was there feeling the sand shifting beneath my feet and in between my toes. Long lost memories came flooding back to me. Good times memories.

[@robertwolfe2971]

When you hunt try pushing the noise cancel down and holding it down til it start recycling through all the numbers when it stops at one number and don't cycle no more the let up on the noise cancel button.should be in high conductors.sometimes this works just as good in single frequencies especially 5 khz.

[@DigginSoCal]

I will look into that... I am not familiar with that ability and really appreciate the advice. Happy New Year

[@davidlewis9068]

Wish I was there to let you test my Equinox 700 for a while. I got it yesterday and it is charging now.

[@DigginSoCal]

Sounds exciting...may you find some awesome treasures with your new detector!!!

[@wesmiller7416]

Thank you Bill for posting another inspiring video. I like to think you save people from having a bad day at the beach when you remove all that junk. Keep having fun and save those coins, someone may come out with a beer flavor cupcake.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks. I agree. We don’t know what or how our actions change the path of someone but I like to think we make a difference. Hum, that cupcake could be good or gross. But I would try it. Lol

[@darrellbrixey5341]

Awesome video guys, thank you

[@AshleeMcCann]

great video I still watch all your videos even if I don't comment, I got a vanquish 340 for Christmas I'm excited to get out and use it, any tips you could give me would be great.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much... we appreciate that. Wow, that is exciting and we hope you find some cool treasures.... You can email me at [e-mail] for more info....Bill

[@philliprodgers6244]

Fantastic hunt video Bill! I guess the beach was a little stingy today. The still photos were cool. Did you notice the cloud over the Ferris wheel that followed the outline of the wheel. That was one of the luckiest shots I’ve seen!

[@christinethestringbean]

Wow!!!

[@felixperez3432]

Great hunt a lot of trash. Thanks you for your videos.

Great hunts! Enjoy watching so much…

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much....

[@MendocinoButterfly]

Good morning Bill! Greetings from Northern California! It’s funny, I dug one of those serenity prayers that are so popular with AA. Mine is the same style pendant as yours and I just thought of it as a keychain fob but it didn’t occur to me that it resembled a dog tag. Weird miss on my part, since my father was in the Army fifty years! Tough day on the beach… uh, but to anyone who hadn’t been to the beach in years, that sounds like a non-sequitur! 🤣 Anyway, You Da Man! Keep at it, and we can hardly wait for your next beach hunt! (BTW. Any day finding rings is a good day!)

[@DigginSoCal]

I guess they are pretty popular... I agree about the rings... not sure why but it is always exciting to find them regardless of the quality.... happy hunting!!!

[@debbrooks3598]

Got my first find today - a baseball charm (brass I think). But still way cool.

[@christinethestringbean]

That’s fantastic! Congrats! A find is a find!

[@lilasphotosandvideos43]

Interesting finds 👏👏👏

[@susancousins8766]

Happy New Year to you Christine and family 🎆🎉🎆🎊🎆🥳🎆🍾🎆 I hope your new year is filled with special things and gives you peace, joy, happiness and love all year long.

[@stevewilson4071]

A day at the beach finding nothing is better than a day at work doing nothing... That butterfly earring looked nice though.

[@DigginSoCal]

I agree... I am going to test it... it probably is not but it looks silverish...

[@bendjohans3863]

wish you too (a lil late) still a merry xmas and a happy new year with lots of finds and cupcake money for your better half :)

[@DigginSoCal]

Merry belated Christmas and happy new year

[@sherryrohr65]

Thanks for cleaning the beaches

[@DigginSoCal]

I never get bothered by picking up other peoples trash... especially the glass... I am surprised there are not more injuries...

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Whhhhaaattt 😮, Bill, your not excited 😜 about finding a tent stake? Christine, quick. Take Bill’s temperature 🤒 something’s wrong 😑. Bill, I’m glad that you found a turquoise and other stone butterfly 🦋 earring.

[@DigginSoCal]

I know. I was off my game. Lol. Must be I’ll. Thanks. That butterfly has an R stamped on the back. Might even be silver? Need to test it still

[@socalmetaldetecting]

La Jolla was packed with people this week, but lousy finds in my vid. I hate my sand scoop! Got any recommendations?

[@DigginSoCal]

[@solocork1285]

Nice surprise! Thought we weren't gonna' see your mug 'til Saturday. Guess you just can't stay away from it either. You won't be seeing those "dog tags" handed out in church unless it's in their basement rental to an AA group. It's the serenity AA prayer spoken aloud together to open and close meetings. And as far as I know "GOD" can be anything that one feels is the higher power that guides them. Nice eh! I am so envious of your weather right now. I do a fair bit of lake shore hunting on our little isl. most of the fresh water edgea are is still a slushy 6" of snow. On the other hand, I just have to stare at a melting pile of plowed snow in our town parking lots to usually getting a coin surface find. No wonder you guys think we all ride around on sleds because everybody likes to mention the word snow when they say CANADA. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU DIGGIN'SOCAL PALS OUT THERE. Happy Hunting! I am if I am.😃

[@DigginSoCal]

I did not plan on hunting for the last two Wednesdays of the year but I can't help myself I guess...lol. Good luck on your hunts and we hope you have an epic 2023. Thank you for your support!!!

[@thomasjbrugge6149]

Should be able to get 12 inches on a dime or deeper 15 inches on a nickel 18 inches on a quarter 20 inches on a half dollar.your going deeper covering more ground.recovery speed should be 3 or four if the ground permits you could go lower on recovery speed.
