I found SO much jewelry at the boat races!

This was a really fun hunt. I ran into a bunch of metal detecting friends, and found some great stuff!!!

[@Detectingunderground]

What a great hunt....so many shells though. Reminds me when I visited Sanibel Island. What a nightmare that was sifting through all that. If you get a chance, show us those rings all cleaned up at the end. I love to see that.

[@DetectFlorida]

It can definitely be a pain in the butt, but a nice hard layer of shell will trap the good stuff!

[@ms.rlsteele351]

You have a perfect personality for these videos. I am 68 and have been binge watching. I love Florida but can't afford to live there.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!! I can't afford it either, but I'm enjoying it while I can!!

Love the Hot Wheels 😂. You are braver than I am. I hate crowded days… I avoid them like the plague. Great finds, the water was gorgeous…

i hate aluminum foil it sounds so good with the gm 1000 you dig TRASH. !!!!! have a good day

[@DetectFlorida]

I almost always know when it’s foil, but I’ve found nice gold pendants in the past that sounded identical. Gotta dig them!

Killer job hunting, thanks for sharing!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Mike!

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

do you use a hand sand scoop. if so what type me california. i have a gold monster. use the bigger coil go to the beach. see what happens. i have seen people get nice chains ,bracelets rings. to hot lately to go look for gold. have a good day.

[@DetectFlorida]

I use a Stealth 720i hybrid scoop with an Xtreme brand carbon fiber handle. It does the job well in chest to shoulder deep water!

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

Great video. Surprised that you weren’t thrown around by the Wales of those speed boats! Nice rings.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Dianne! They actually weren't too bad!! Normally I'm out there getting pummeled, but it was nice and calm!

[@jimjustice581]

I love how you skip all of the hunting with nothing to show - just the good stuff. And you even speed up the walking. Thanks for all you do for people.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!! I don't want you to get bored!!! I find tonssss and tons of trash. I know it's good to show that I'm removing a bunch of it, but I don't even enjoy watching myself find it! haha

[@blufordbirdsong1834]

do you worry about sharks? Bull sharks like to hang out in that gulf water.

[@DetectFlorida]

Nah. We're not food to them. They swim among us all day every day and most people have no idea they're there

[@kdp1943]

What metal detector are you using? I have a Garret at pro and it doesn't do good in salt water.

I was using a Minelab Excalibur in this video, but lately I'm using a Minelab Manticore

I recycle all of the metal that I can. I could take it in for cash, but I don't

[@tracygoss8031]

How far out are you? What do you do with all your finds?

[@DetectFlorida]

I typically go out as deep as I can comfortably walk. Usually up to my neck. I keep all of the good stuff for display cases and gifts for friends and family if its something that I won't be able to find the original owner.

No offense Shawn, but when you say it's silver, nobody would set a diamond in silver. It could be white gold or platinum. I don't like gold. I like white gold, platinum and silver. So if I ever did get a diamond it would never be in gold. Just sayin'. ✌ from Boston
