I can laugh as I took one to the head yesterday and almost lost all my equipment and maybe my life. Danial aka Monterey magnet man had to save this old pirate. ☹️😂. I survived with a broke arm cuff and a waterlogged set of wireless headphones. 🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️☹️

[@jakebob6332]

Good vid thanks. Oh, and all that jewelry shown at the beginning of your vids, I hope you don't want people to believe you found all that stuff detecting.

[@piratemikestreasure]

Since 2009. Every thing in the intro is things I found. It is missing about 10 or so rings that I gave my wife and kids. I started filming in April of 2023 and everything I have found since is obviously not in it. Tye really funny thing about that is that many of the people I hunt with and are in my metal detecing club find a lot more and expensive gold and silver then I do. I have never sold anything. A few returns but never sold.

[@OLdweeb]

That's EXTREME metal detecting 😲, a whole other level beyond anything I've seen in a year of watching all the SoCal channels! Thanks for the experience and congrats on the well-deserved gold!

Nice hunt mike! I actually live on the treasure coast and you are 100% right about those cuts. I have found 2 spanish silver coins by hunting them. Next hurricane I'll be hunting them again for sure

[@piratemikestreasure]

You are my hero. One of the guys that I look up to and help me learn a lot of what I know moved to Cape Canaveral during Covid. He still hasn’t gotten any old Spanish treasure but he has gotten a lot of great stuff out there. Some day I would love to hit Vero beach after a hurricane.

[@Wilton925]

Mike you are a true beach metal detecting warrior, awesome hunt. Have you ever got buried by one of those sand landslides?

[@piratemikestreasure]

Thanks Bill. Yes, I have been partially buried by one once. I was able to get loose but covered my legs and I lost the target I was digging under it. I have also fallen waist deep in a giant while that had been dug and had filled with soft wet sand. Kinda like quick sand. I had to throw my detector and scoop as far as I could get it to dryer ground. It look me a couple minutes to pull myself out and water was splashing all around. Again. Not smart. Dumb PM. 😮❤🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️

[@rodmanning7114]

Congrats on the gold. Very nice video. Enjoyed the hunt.

[@piratemikestreasure]

Thank you Rod. It really was fun out there.

[@Findingwithfrequency]

I know I love my Stealth 920ix but it is heavy. My last few hunts been with the Extreme sand shredder but I lose more targets with it not being able to move the same amount of sand. Heck of a awesome cut you guys had congrats on the gold 👍🦀

[@piratemikestreasure]

I have normally used the stealth scoops for almost all my hunting. I use the 920ix hybrid for in water and waves and tye 720ix hybrid on the slope and dry. They are so heavy and I have some shoulder issues. I needed to find a lighter scoop and started using the CKG titanium scoop. It has really helped with my shoulder but I definitely have to take more scoops on the slope and often loose targets in water and waves. Im trying to get comfortable with that size scoop. Thank you again for watching and commenting. It means a lot. 🏴‍☠️🙂

[@chrisernest3222]

Nice, that takes big ones

[@piratemikestreasure]

Or just crazy. I ended up going down the other day.

[@edhughes8262]

Great hunt Mike and great collaboration with Daniel. I liked how he described it as full contact detecting. This was a great example of the thrill of the hunt for sure. This isn’t a tot lot video. Nice grab on the 14k too 👍🏻.

[@douglenik3222]

Curious as to what sensitivity you are using with that 15” coil in the rushing surf. Also are you in beach 1 or 2? I get lots of chatter in the moving water with the big coil. Thanks Mike

[@piratemikestreasure]

Hi Doug, I run about 14-15 sensitivity if sand is black. I go back up if there’s not a ton of black. I don’t normally like to run the 15” coil in the actual splashing water as it seems to have a bit of drag and it does seem to pick up the some air pockets it the white water as i definitely get some chatter and some grunting. That being said, it seems to hit targets when they are under the coil. I really really appreciate your support. ❤🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️🙂

[@georgeeberle1119]

Man that's a huge cut, Gold runs deep ! Hey do you ever check the face of the cut before it falls ? Thanks again for the outing ! G

[@piratemikestreasure]

I do run my detector on the face normally but was super hairy tight to the cut as you can see. But in short, yes. I have found good stuff in the face. ❤🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️

[@nickorlando8261]

Nice hunting. Question, what kind of water shoes you wear? I’m looking to find something that works and has good support. I was in a bad motorcycle and my left foot took it bad. Thx.

[@piratemikestreasure]

The shoes I’m currently wearing do not have great support. I do like them as they are flexible and easy to rinse off. That being said, I sometimes use Seavengers. They have different styles. They have great support. Here is a link. a.co/d/3wJ1i3n

the first rule is to never turn your back on the waves, it's dangerous

[@piratemikestreasure]

Trust me. Jim says it every day. I use my big fat body to hold me against getting taken down. It has work all but 3 times out of a few thousand but those 3 times were definitely not good. Don’t do what I do as I’m a bit daft. 🏴‍☠️🙂

[@marceloudart3797]

I wouldn't do it, I can already imagine the wave that pushes me to the ground and the sand dune that falls on my body, it's guaranteed death

[@billywayne902]

How’s it going mike if you don’t mind what detecting rig are you using and the name of the channel you were mentioning on the scoop the wave kind of drown your voice out. also if have the model number of that scoop your using. Thanks I appreciate it. And I did liked and subscribed. 👍🏼

[@piratemikestreasure]

Hi Billy, thank you so so very much for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate it. Yes, that is definitely one major problem with hunting in the conditions I do. The waves and wind do drowned out my voice and on my end it’s hard to hear targets. I mostly use a Minelab Equinox 900. Target range is from negatives - to 100. Tye scoop I use is the CKG titanium model. They don’t have model numbers on there website but here is the link for it. ckgscoop.com/?ref=pmwa8mv2 (ckgscoop.com/?ref=pmwa8mv2)

[@metaldetectingwithrocky1901]

Numbers instead of high n low tones would be nice!

[@piratemikestreasure]

I will definitely work on it. It was so crazy out there I really wasn’t looking at the scream but will work on call outs of the numbers. I started using the 900 again today. It’s so weird jumping between them as the numbers are so so different. Really appreciate all of your support. I want it to be a fun experience for all watch and take all suggestions to heart. Thank you. 🙂🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️🙂🏴‍☠️
