Searching a destroyed beach for DIAMONDS!

[@debdeb5093]

I'm so happy to see you collect the litter.thank you🧡⭐

[@reneebrady1333]

The cool thing about this guy, if you lost something recently, you can contact him, he will try his best to help! He’s a good human! Also, he doesn’t want any money! Again, he’s a good human!

[@tricial4330]

the 10K ring looks like an intaglio ring. looks like a great day for all of you!

[@sandreawhite7534]

My daddy tweeted his metal detector to sound a different pitch with aluminum/poptabs, etc. He would hear the beep, find the treasure and we kids would cover up the holes. LOL. He was a real treasure finder. This was back in the 60’s/70’s.

[@DAVexpeditions]

I think I found my new retirement gig. Time to move down to Fort Meyers.

[@TakeTheRide]

I often look in this area where people hang out... "hopefully losing stuff during the day" 😂 If I ever need a smile, your channel will bring it to me. I'm so glad I found you today and subscribed.

[@shawnmariemann]

Thanks for the video, so nice to see someone enjoying the beach while I'm here in PA freezing my butt off. Love the rings!

[@maxsands3861]

Awesome rings, first hole! When that lady was standing beside you and you blurted out "beavertail" I thought oh oh I hope she knows metal detecting lingo! I got a great laugh this morning thank you.

[@DetectFlorida]

lmaooooooo I never thought of that!!! It's such common lingo in the metal detecting world 😂

[@kkamas1]

Congrats on finding the ring and the pendant!! I get a strong sense of satisfaction just watching you sift the sand out of your scoop---glad when you find more than a 'freaking pull tab!' Good job!

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Looks like a pretty place to safari a detecting trip. Gold Baby!

[@netamorton4832]

Great find Shawn! You all always have such a great time together and that’s awesome!❤️

[@MarieMackenzie-w2z]

I love that you put close-ups on the screen.

[@bonnie2057]

fun way to clean up the beach

[@maureen14]

I lived in Fort Myers for 5 years and only went to the beach once for about 2 hours. I'm not a beach person. I'd rather walk the beach at night. I moved back to New England bc Florida just wasn't for me, but I'm very interested in metal detecting, always was. Maybe I'll take it up as a hobby in my retirement.

[@alkarandam]

My husband lost his diamond and gold ring on the beach one month into the marriage. I kind of feel sad thinking someone must have found and sold it already. We couldn't afford to get him another one because they are so expensive. It's been 7 years.

[@rosehobbs6051]

So sorry. I understand how you feel.

[@jamesmurray5934]

That's why you shouldn't have jewelry on when swimming

[@RingsAndThings.]

We don't sell any of the rings we find. We post them on our page for people to claim.

You need to make a floaty tube out of a inner tube that has a big screen you can dump your stuff into

[@pattycornell7983]

Hahahahahaha

[@alexcorrea8855]

I’m glad you said you didn’t really find nothing cause I tried metal detecting and found about 10 nails and it felt like I was doing something wrong so to hear you say you didn’t have anything, I’m not so discouraged, thank you for sharing I have learned a lot just watching these! I used to be the person who thought it looked funny, but now it’s me and it’s so fun, well when you find stuff haha the search continues!! 👍

[@DetectFlorida]

There's a lot of hunts where I don't find too much. I just don't want to bore people with them watching me find nothing! haha

[@laudanum669]

Our condo complex on Ft. Myers Beach was destroyed in 2022 by Hurricane Ian. Since it still hasn't been rebuilt we rented a place for this winter. I was on the fence about whether to bring my metal detector with me this winter, thinking all i would find is trash left over from the storm. However after watching this I leaning towards bring it along. Thanks!

[@leighbootes6293]

The 10k ring, we know as a Trojan Ring. Very popular as signet rings in the 80's and 90's in the UK.

[@AustinSlack]

You know what, respect for that opening line and recognizing sometimes you just don't find diddly. Too much clickbait out there and I appreciate you keeping it real.

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha thank you!!! I don't want to waste anyone's time with a crappy video. I'd rather have no video than to make you guys watch me find nothing but trash lol

[@fayeelder4626]

Haha. A “friggin” pull tab… so good you are back…. Been missing you!! Love the gold ring!!! Awesome!!

[@joekaufman4707]

I have to start listening to you about moving if there isn't anything to be found-congrats on a great day of hunting

[@AliceMcKoy]

Hey, we love watching your hunts. I think the beautiful split diamond ring might have been a wedding band. When my friend’s husband passed away, she had his band cut and shaped just like the one you found.

[@mikeycod7377]

Awesome hunt Shaun, glad to hear that everything is ok looking forward to your future videos 👍

[@gemigirl5521]

I’m hooked on your videos. Great fun!

Definitely not antibiotic ointment!

[@rhondascraftobsessions5817]

I am afraid of being attacked by a shark or something venumous. I would not go that deep in the water. You're my hero.

[@cherylbauer4419]

First up, GREAT HAIRCUT!!!!!🥰

[@DetectFlorida]

😂 thank you! haha

[@lisathomas1622]

That’s a cool older ring called an intaglio style, meaning carved in rather than cameo style which is raised.

[@Fam24665]

Loved the vid....I'm looking at getting into metal detecting so I'm watching vids on you tube to get some info :) it's so exciting, wanted to do this for years 😊

[@rozcrowden6629]

What an AWESOME dig. From old man noises (which you were guilty of too 😂😂) to those gorgeous rings. You must be looking forward to summer getting closer. Ours has just finished here in 🇦🇺

[@DetectFlorida]

I'm soooooo ready!!! People are finally getting back into the water now that it's getting warmer. And best of all, the tourists are coming back!

[@MrDetectorist]

come up to destin and lets do some hunting !! keep it up. Great stuff

[@fooballyou]

The water sure is muddy down there compared to a little further north in the Sarasota/St. Pete/Clearwater area. Nice scores for both you guys. Nice to see people swimming again!

[@DetectFlorida]

There's still so many hazards in the water. I wouldn't get in there without some kind of shoes on

[@lightupthedarkness8089]

Good detective in metal searching, for hunt.

[@barblynn1979]

Nice finds today.

[@carolkemp2571]

Awesome finds!

[@lizarrrdbeth]

I need one of those basket scoopers!! They are sure handy!!!

[@DetectFlorida]

They're just as important as a good metal detector!! Mine is from Xtreme Scoops in Texas

[@rayray52577]

You need to make a cut up of every pull tab you find and you saying “freaking pull tab!” Lol

[@RocoSafreti]

Great finds 🎉🎉

[@DonyMaxine]

I get excited finding sharks teeth on a South Carolina beach.

[@ceciliamv9623]

Good hunt Shawn ❤

[@maureen14]

You should powder coat your scooper black so that jewelry, shiny things show up better.

[@DetectFlorida]

The only issue is that sand is sooooo abrasive. A company currently makes powder coated scoops, and the powder coat lasts about 2 hours

[@bigearsandnoddy1]

Hiya DF, super cool video job good job so please keep them coming GL&HH coming from Dulwich London England(✌peace✌)

Any day at the beach is a great day… nice ring. I am probably the only person who is not enamored by Sanibel 😂

[@DetectFlorida]

I've been detecting Sanibel for years and still haven't had a good day out there! People tell me that it's great to detect there, but I'm having a hard time believing them! lol

[@ronjr831]

Like most of the videos. You are correct about competition. I am not going to do what you do. I like watching though. I have a fear of sharks and they probably know it.

[@scottmcclory8312]

That "gold" lion woulda given me a heart attack Shawn

[@ryders_mom]

I was detecting in a rodeo arena at a fairground in a tiny town in Utah and found a lion pendant identical to yours, except mine was silver tone

[@DetectFlorida]

Very cool!! I was really hoping that it was real!!!

[@ryders_mom]

@@DetectFlorida It was!! (Real metal 😉)

[@bronwyntaylor7377]

I found out because your body is a huge percentage of water when you’re in it that’s why fingers etc shrinks and jewels fall off. Better to remove before going near water

[@DavidPaxton-tj1wt]

Ft. Myers Beach??? I graduated from Ft Myers High. It sure has hanged a bunch. Is that whats left of the old Ft Myers Pier??? That hurricane really did a lot of damage. The old open air restaurant /eating area that use to be at the base is probably completely gone completely. Do the plan to rebuild the pier???

[@DetectFlorida]

All of those restaurants are totally gone :( They're rebuilding the pier, but it probably won't happen until next year. It's gonna be a long time until that area feels normal again

[@maureen14]

It wasn't dirty like that when I lived in Fort Myers in the early nineties.

Hey thanks for the video’s. Really enjoyed watching. One question do you have to take any precautions or do you worry about the salt water effects on your equipment

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! That's always a concern. I need my machines to be running in tip top shape, so they get a good freshwater bath after every hunt

[@ssmith0319]

Hey man do you have any tips on setting on the Deus2 in the Florida saltwater beach? I hunt lakes in Louisiana and feel I know my machine well. Just hoping for a few tip’s before I head over there.

[@DetectFlorida]

The sensitivity of the factory beach programs is way too high. I set it back to around 80, and change the ground balance to tracking. It will really help stabilize the machine in salt water

[@nancycurtis488]

That water is SO murky…..it would scare me to be out in that……..sharks like murky water.
