Drifting cars and drift wood trains lol. Lots of armless fun. Some nice jewellery but that gold ring was a beauty. And multiple silver is always cool. No fun had here

[@aliciadanna2616]

Great hunt Bill. The beach looked worse for wear. I am glad Christine did her car noise.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... at least it was seaweed and not trash.

[@edwardheida2919]

Wow! Metal stuff, coinage, jewelry, gold ring, toy truck snd on top of all that … tent stakes!!! Great hunt. And congrats to the winners (not me again). Big 3 day weekend coming too

[@janeodom3671]

Congrats on the gold! ! ! I love how you get excited to find stuff, even if it is bling.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks Jane... I do get excited...honestly I do not care if it is real or memorex...It is just fun finding things.

[@edhughes8262]

A dandy 14k ring 💍 and some shiny bling, and about 20 stakes (maybe a record for you?). Well done Bill 👍🏻

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks, it was a sweet find. If not a record it was at least a top 5

[@aprilsovich7202]

Epic hunt. Congratulations on your finds!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you April

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Redeemed! lol. Odd that the necklace does not come up on either machine too well. Thanks for the hunt miss the beach always.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... yeah, it baffled me

[@ausfox8794]

Great find with the ring. Only two more to catch up with Christine. Congratulations to the winners too.

[@DigginSoCal]

Yeah, she has been doing well when she gets out. Trying to get her to hunt today or tomorrow for a Wednesday video... poor thing is wiped

[@dawnprochilo8084]

Hey Bill, great finds, you couldn't go wrong there for a while. Lucky you! good job! Congrats to the winners. Happy Memorial Day weekend to you and Christine. Take care, looking forward to your next video. Take care guys!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks Dawn... It was a nice day with some nice finds... Nothing like a cool morning at the beach...

[@marcshea8921]

Awesome pull with the 14k ring, it looks amazing. Guessing that the GP necklace sticks to a magnet 🧲 that's why the detectors hate it.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks...yeah, the chain does stick to a magnet... If I wore chains, I would wear this one

[@darrellbrixey5341]

Awesome video Bill, thanks

[@BreezyKay63]

Congrats to the winners!!! Awesome finds Bill. Happy Memorial Day weekend to all.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you very much...

[@Detect-Oregon]

Nice hunt Bill with the Manticore. You’re back in the gold game. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Remember the fallen.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... always exciting to find nice things... Yes, our fallen are the true hero's of our Country... thanks for that

[@Detect-Oregon]

I hope the younger generations can will embrace/appreciate and honor the sacrifices that were made for the freedoms we have today. ✌🏻

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Bill Man What a Hunt on this video. I really was hoping the chain was for real and not gold plated. Christine Loved the Monster Truck I do blame her those are so cool to find. Congrats on the 14k Ring Awesomeness and also Congrats to the Winner of the Xterra Pro and the two other winners of their Choice of T-shirt or Beenie Totally Rad .. Happy Hunting .. Peace

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... always nice getting out. I pulled up to the beach and immediately saw someone detecting... Always seems that way now but I don't mind because nobody can hit it all... and wow, it was nice finding the gold ring. Still the best thing about the day is being out at the beach and taking it all in... treasure is a bonus and the gold well that was a super bonus... almost as much as the tent stakes..lol

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

@@DigginSoCal right being out in the beach air is always a good feeling. I never seen anyone dig as many tent stakes as you do. Keep on digging. See you two on your next adventure.. Peace

[@stevepd1]

Looks like you're at Corona del Mar. The beach has been so picked over, I'm glad you managed to find anything. Congrats on the gold!

[@DigginSoCal]

I was and it gets hit a lot... actually seems like most of our beaches are getting detected heavily now....

[@stevepd1]

@Diggin' SoCal Bill and Christine, I do pretty well at our local beaches during the week. It seems that regulars and "full-timers" hit the beach on the weekends. I see metal detecting tracks at the towel line and all around the firepits. I'm starting to recognize footprints. I think there are even people who metal detecting as their full time job.

[@kenleach6097]

Great hunt ! Love it when you share your VDI numbers. I’m learning the Manticore too!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... It is helpful... I like the sounds too but wow, does the Manticore love foil...

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you... yeah, she just decided to play with them. I never know what to expect with her. It was Corona Del Mar...

Great hunt with the manticore Congratulations to the winners

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks David.... I think if the necklace was gold and not plated it would have really set off the detector because it was rather large.

[@TermaMary]

On the gold again, just can’t wait to be on the gold again, I’m detecting in the sand and in the sun and I can’t wait to be on the gold again

[@DigginSoCal]

Yes.... good luck to you on your hunts

[@patjacques5391]

Congratulations to the winners! Great hunt Bill 🎉

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you Pat

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Nice ring find! Maybe because it was gold plated over crap metal the chain wasn't going off? Gotta love the cars too...

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks... true, I do plan on checking it with other detectors but I think a lot of chains are like that.... good thing it was visible...

[@skulldiver]

Watching the video without sound, I wondered how such a high ID was possible on a necklace...Reading through the comments I realized it was a fake 18K. I am still evaluating the Manticore today and will not give in to the temptation to purchase until I am certain of the allocation of the low conductors. Thanks for your content

[@SuperDookieHowser]

"Oh, did you find a Merc?" 😂 Some nice finds Bill! 14k ring! Have a great weekend!

[@DigginSoCal]

I did a good job but Christine won't let me have my glory...lol

[@tatorh65]

Great hunt. 😊 congrats winners. Happy hunting All.

[@DigginSoCal]

Thank you

[@myobs]

@ 3:42 onwards..........this is precisely why I have a love/hate relationship with my Etrac. It will not give any response at all to gold even when you touch the coil with it. I'm extremely methodical and thorough when I'm detecting so I'm convinced I've missed a stack of gold targets over the years. I was hoping that their Manticore would be the answer but.......obviously not!

[@aztreasurehuntingduo]

Congrats to all the winners!🎉 Awesome gold hunt, Bill. ✨️ Now ya gotta get a merc! 🍀

[@DigginSoCal]

So true... I need a Merc to calm my side kick...lol... thank you

[@martinbishop4279]

Hey Bill I don't think you should compare all the other hunts because Christine was not there at those hunts to defend ,but do think it was a awesome hunt. Will let you know that it would be a good idea to use the all metal mode when checking out items on your hunt's you switched once and I did hear the grunt but it seemed that you dismissed it. Any keep it up and make it fun and Happy Hunting 🙂👍..

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks for the tip... yeah, I am still learning and appreciate that. I also agree that I have the advantage because I get a lot more time swinging than Christine....

[@randywilson4529]

Bill that’s crazy that both machine wouldn’t hardy pick up the chain, I believe you said it was 18k gp which it should have, and I too wonder what it’s made of, but any way kudos on the ring and other awesome finds, thank for sharing

[@rogervanhoover3574]

I once looked for a large pendant for a friend. I visually located it, but was surprised to see it could not be seen by my Vanquish 540, just like your gold plated necklace. Upon research, I discovered that there is some stainless steel, that is so non-conductive, that a metal detector can't see it. I would assume that the necklace you found was gold plated over stainless steel... just FYI

[@danareed1656]

congrats to the winners!

[@brotherskeepers111]

Toy cars always sound great

[@DigginSoCal]

Yes... they are fun to pull out of the sand...so many cool ones

[@pamandjohnmc]

You can't go wrong with a Garrett detector. 33 years detecting.

[@DigginSoCal]

Can't argue. I have friends that will only use a Garrett. Good luck on your hunts

[@robertbriggs1968]

Overcast days are great not to hot to swing the day away.

[@robertbriggs1968]

@@DigginSoCal that's when you get in the water and detect 🌊

[@hopisanka4430]

It detects gold links separately on jewelry, so fine chains arent much of a signal.

[@Pureinfinitelove]

hey, thank you for the video. which is the best setting for wet sand and beach ? thanks.

[@wiseguydigsgold]

Great video, That is interesting that the Manticore didn't pick up that gold chain. You might be missing a lot of other gold targets? Hope you are able to figure that out. Best of luck out there.

[@cyko0213]

I wonder how the Minelab X-Terra pro will do with that chain? 🤔

[@michaelwilliams374]

Congrats to all winners. Including you Bill on the gold ring.

Mate get 15 ins coil. That gold chain i got a chain that size but half dia came up -- 11 on xterra pro 14 ct true ghost chain work that out. Lol 😂 ps that young lass needs a tonka truck. Lol what a honey.😊

[@everett8610]

Cool! :)

[@LobsterClawzRecovery]

I was wondering if you had any additional comments on the Manticore's ability to detect gold chains? I realized many detectors struggle with the ability to pick up gold chains and right now, I use the XP Deus 2, but have not come across the gold chain to even detect - if I knew there even was one there.

[@stevewilson4071]

Well all that jewelry is nice Bill but did you find a merc? Lol. I have found several chains just like that gold one and they just don't come up on the detector. Haven't figured out why really but it's almost like they're made of stainless steel. Very strange. Good hunt though!

[@DigginSoCal]

Thanks and yeah, I need a merc or won't ever get peace... lol. I guess I was fortunate the chain was visible...still a nice looking one
