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…

Thanks Marion! I love the hot wheels too!! I found a great one in the water today. You''ll see it in next weeks video :)

Your dad found a shark? What kind of tone do they give off on the detector??? 😁

[@diannesandenfebles2774]

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!

[@DENMONKEY]

any chance of a video on your techniques and how you detect in the water ?

[@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]

@@DetectFlorida your using a water proof detector on the gold monster the coil is sealed. i'll look on amazon. 👍👍👍. have a good day.

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

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!

[@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

Love the videos, I was looking at getting some equipment what do you think is a good starter kit.

[@chuckmartin6049]

Awesome day Shawn👍 Did you use a head or chest mounted camera? I am thinking it was a head mount. You videos have very good.

Thanks Chuck! This was a head mount like Florida Mike was using when he walked up to me

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 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.
