I was attacked while metal detecting for treasure! (It was worth it)

In all of my years of metal detecting the water, it finally happened...

The eyeballs are 'evil eyes', to ward off evil.

[@raydunhill5160]

Great job Shawn! 👍 I wear my shorty wet suit if it's a 100 degrees! Last year I had one stuck to my back!! Stung the hell out of me but the legs are still vulnerable! Great video! 👍👍

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Ray! I hate those darn things! I've been stung in the past, but this is my first time being stung while detecting. Its been a solid 8 years!

[@mwdjr3158]

Way to tough it out! Awesome finds again in a beautiful environment. Thanks for sharing.

[@coreywilliams3475]

Try some vinegar for the jellyfish sting...works better than pee😀 Nice finds👍😁

[@elizabethbennet4791]

It’s sooo wild and inspiring how youre out there just a couple hours and you found like two necklaces, two rings, a bracelet and some change. that’s $$$ hehe

[@elizabethbennet4791]

I can’t wait to start metal detecting!! I live in St Pete near all the beaches!!

[@ifindmetal]

Hey , there fellow channel here. I’m in Virginia I get those Jellyfish swarms a lot I’m pretty much immune to them I think now , new Subscriber here

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks for watching my videos! Happy to have you!!

[@mikegilbertmetalartist9334]

Awesome job hunting, you killed it!!!!!, thanks for sharing. I’ve been finding the eyeball jewelry for the last couple of years, so far 3 bracelet’s and one stainless ring with an eyeball in it. All are junk metal.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks!! This is probably my third or fourth piece with eyeballs this month!! Crazy!!

[@rdk162]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS DETECT FLORIDA!!! Is it True SEEK AND DETECT still lives with his mom and she gets mad when he comes home empty handed from an 8 hour day of detecting?

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Be safe out there, thanks for the hunt. I had a question,Is Your camera mounted on your head or chest? Thanks.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks! I keep it mounted on my head

[@metaldetecting00]

[@michelsanfilippo5340]

Coolest multi find for me was a 14k trippel ring set in a 3ft circle. All 3 rings that fit into 1.

[@mariontheantiquarian7849]

Stupid jelly fish! I hate those things… great treasures though! The “eye” jewelry is probably “evil eyes”. Seems to be kinda on trend now. Supposed to protect the wearer from negative energy & harm, if you believe in that kinda thing… 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@DetectFlorida]

Good to know! Maybe I'll just keep that in my pouch! Haha

[@diannesandenfebles2774]

Great hunt! A whole jewelry box!

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha! Thanks!!!!!

How is the hunting going Shawn, been a little slow here on the space coast, getting a lot of junk jewelry and fishing weights, happy hunting buddy, Fireman Jim

[@jovill9]

The eye jewelry supposed to ward off the evil eye

[@rozcrowden6629]

AWESOME hunt!!! Did you find out if the chain was gold? Also, I’m with you. I’d rather suffer than have someone pee on my leg 😂😂

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!! It ended up being a silver chain :)

[@b14ckd34th73]

Ouch!

[@DetectFlorida]

Yeah, not much fun getting lit up by a jellyfish!

[@mikedavis2566]

good hunt

[@melparker7711]

Enjoy your videos but it would be nice if you told what beach you were at.

[@DetectFlorida]

If I did that, I'd have a bunch of people detecting at my spots. I'd rather keep some things a secret haha

[@jaysoncasta287]

I'm new to metal detecting, literally got my first metal detector TODAY!. I was umder the understanding that we could not detect in the water in florida beaches, has this changed, can you provide any imput, would love to go in the water and do this

[@cynthiacisneros1694]

Good for you❣️

[@richardattemborg2823]

You can be attacked in a couple feet of water by a large shark. Use caution.

[@elizabethbennet4791]

lol he’s a coastal dweller and spends plenty of time out here. he knows how to take care of himself

[@tatjanakaiser9120]

In the muslim world these eyeballs are a gift, called 'eye of Fatima', combined with the wish that Fatima may have an eye on you to protect to

[@elizabethbennet4791]

they also ward offthe “Evil eye” or “molocchio” in italy

[@maureengulat6331]

The eyeballs- it’s a Turkish eye. It’s to keep evil spirits away

[@deborahdesanto2313]

I love❤ your videos. 😊

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!

[@jimjustice581]

You do a fair amount of walking in your detecting. You must be in great shape. Sorry about the jellyfish. Carry some peanut butter and bread & you can make a peanut butter and jellyfish sand witch. Great finds. I got the cr*p stung out of me by a Man-of-War. Wrapped around my leg. No fun.

[@DetectFlorida]

I could definitely be in a lot better shape than I'm in, but metal detecting definitely helps! You rack up a serious amount of miles with all of the beach walking!

[@mandybrown7758]

Worth it getting silver 👊👊

[@DetectFlorida]

No doubt!

be out tomorrow swinging my gold monster. need to go back to the beach. have a good day.

[@commanderjank9060]

That was quite a haul. Jellies suck, put the sting to the lime bro

[@barisugurlu9046]

the eye ball is a Turkish symbol which they use it mostly for jewelery or they put it on their houses walls at bigger scales and sometimes you just pin it under your cloths not to seen by anyone. They call it "Nazar" in Turkish and it keep you away from others bad thoughts. means like "evil eye" or "whammy".

[@maxsands3861]

Did the ring turn out to be gold? Great hunt either way!

[@DetectFlorida]

Nah. It was a good looking fake!!

I was thinking of trying this some day then saw you get stung and that's a big nope from me! I'll stay away from the lovecraftian monsters thank you

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha! In my 11 years of metal detecting, I think that was my worst injury! I fear jellyfish much more than sharks!

[@kimberlyearly6658]

The eye symbols are evil eyes. They are for protection if someone is trying to do harm it will bounce back to them. Good find

[@StevesRealWorld]

It's GREAT how yo don't mind talking to other people or kids unlike some detector channels.. I can't stand those channels.

[@DetectFlorida]

I always have time for curious people! :)

[@23gatorchick]

Awesome hunt! I've been stung many times by those little suckers lol, keep a plastic bottle with vinegar & water. It'll help with the sting

[@nicolenonya5874]

The eyeballs = protection from the evil eye. It's popular in Turkey & the Arab world.

[@DetectFlorida]

Good to know!

Which one of you buddies pee'd on the wound?

Id rather get stung by jellyfish than have someone pee on me!

[@sunnybunny222]

Man-o-war stings are a booger....been there done that....steak seasoning helps. ..no pee......i'm wondering if you've ever found a knife or pistol....that would be crazy...

[@DetectFlorida]

I've found a bunch of knives, but never a gun. Plenty of toy guns though!

[@sunnybunny222]

@@DetectFlorida thank you for answering. after i had asked this, i saw a video where you found a knife (open) in the water near where people were partying...thank goodness you found it. that would have been very unpleasant to find by foot..

[@JuliaHarrisx]

I for sure thought the gold ring had diamonds the way it shone! The silver ring looked like it had some really nice detail on it.

[@DetectFlorida]

That silver ring is pretty cool! I'm still not exactly sure what the design is supposed to be on it, but its different!

[@JuliaHarrisx]

JELLYFISH - OMG, I've never been stung by on before, do you have to wear a wet suit pants to prevent? Sorry man.

[@DetectFlorida]

Its not normally something that happens while I'm out there. Usually they're in big groups, and you know to stay out of the water. This one went rogue and was too deep to see

[@stephenrothwell8142]

Those eye balls are a Turkish /Arabic charm to protect you from evil. Hence the name, evil eye

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

I have heard that ammonia will stop the Sting I have also heard that vinegar will. Which is it guys? Great goodies today! I did not see the jellyfish in the video. I am watching on my phone so that could be why

[@robertwilson54]

Can I ask what detector you use to have it in the water like you do, thanks

I used a modified Minelab Excalibur 2 in this video

[@robertwilson54]

@@DetectFlorida I thought it must be modified

[@gioiahaviland1872]

The bracelet you with the eyes...they are evil eyes. They are designed to protect the wearer from evil and ward off any evil directed at them. Provides the wearer with both power and protection from evil and bad luck
