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.

[@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👍😁

[@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!

[@info4rob]

Nice job! I Labor day was productive in our area. :)

[@b14ckd34th73]

Ouch!

[@DetectFlorida]

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

[@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!!

[@mikedavis2566]

good hunt

[@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

[@markkochan3506]

Excellent hunt. I’m impressed.

[@michelsanfilippo5340]

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

[@chuckmartin6049]

A really good day! Congrats

Thanks Chuck!

I hit Siesta a few days this week. I didn’t find much of value on this trip though.

[@DetectFlorida]

Yeah, It's been pretty quiet out there lately!

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!!

[@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 :)

[@ladyskellington3296]

That jellyfish obviously didnt want you to get his buried treasure .

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha!! Clearly!! I haven't been stung by a jellyfish since this video!

[@tracynickels164]

Evil eye!

[@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! :)

[@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

[@WildDigger]

Good hunt. GL&HH Matt 👍

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Matt!

[@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

[@deborahdesanto2313]

I love❤ your videos. 😊

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!

[@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

[@MrCofresipirate]

Nice video!!!! Liked the Quicksilver long sleeve thats a rashguard ? 👻🏴‍☠️

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks! Yeah, it is. I wear long sleeve rash guards for about 10 months out of the year here. Then its wetsuit season

[@MrCofresipirate]

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

[@richardattemborg2823]

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

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Owie!!!

[@maxsands3861]

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

[@DetectFlorida]

Nah. It was a good looking fake!!

[@maxsands3861]

@@DetectFlorida Oh well, maybe next time, still a nice looking ring!

[@commanderjank9060]

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

[@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!

[@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".

[@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

[@mandybrown7758]

Worth it getting silver 👊👊

[@DetectFlorida]

No doubt!

[@joekaufman4707]

nice hunt- 2 chains in 1 hole!!

[@stephenrothwell8142]

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

[@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

[@robertwilson54]

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

[@DetectFlorida]

I used a modified Minelab Excalibur 2 in this video

[@robertwilson54]

@@DetectFlorida I thought it must be modified

[@jovill9]

The eye jewelry supposed to ward off the evil eye

[@nicolenonya5874]

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

[@DetectFlorida]

Good to know!

[@Ford_prefect_42]

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!

[@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

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

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

Good luck!!!

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!

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..

[@StevesRealWorld]

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

[@debbie4220]

Pee?? How about a small bottle of vinegar?? It works and isn’t gross! 😊

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha! Nahhhhh I'd rather suffer!! It wasn't so bad by the time I got home

[@michaelstambaugh3032]

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

[@DetectFlorida]

If I didn't say that in the video, you know the comments section would be plastered with posts telling me to pee on it😂

[@nanalefevre3670]

Again, why don't you scoop all those shells out a little at a time so you can find the treasure better ?

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! I always tell people not to worry about the reward, but I'll accept it if they insist

[@deedezso8508]

Watch "Surf's Up " Disney movie. It will tell you to pee on it too !!

The two necklaces, if the pendant I saw was what I think it was, it’s not junk.

I have no idea what the pendant is made of, but the chain and bezel is 925 silver
