Where are you digging at if you don't mind me asking?

[@funwithjim]

Southern California Beaches

[@Bemabug]

I’m so grateful for your quick response. Amazing that you even got back to me with your thoughts. Feel so honored and will take your advice. Thank you so very much! ♥️☀️

[@johnnyhiett]

I would dig that 18K heavy ring!

[@Bemabug]

Hi Jim!! Just started watching your channel and I absolutely love it. You seem like a treasure yourself! Rarely comment about anything but I’m interested in metal detecting in south WI Don’t know where to begin with buying equipment. I know I will be mainly searching in grass covered ground but also have some beaches along Lake Michigan. If you have time to respond I’d appreciate any advice you could share with me!! Happy hunting! ♥️

[@funwithjim]

There are a lot of great detectors on the market now but I really like the versatility of the Minelab Equinox. But I would take the time to research the detectors people are using in your area. Honestly the ground the all the minerals in that ground should determine what machine would work best.

[@charlieschemmel122]

Cool hunt wydi im guessing a silver ring thanks!!!!!

[@bradloy25]

I would dig that silver pendant! Can’t wait to hear your story on getting that class ring back to the owner.

Hello Jim and Haley. Awesome treasure you found this week. My wydi guess is a buffalo nickel. Hope you're able to return the class ring and the phone to their rightful owners. Give Haley hugs. Have a blessed weekend. God bless.

Great hunt Jim, I'm amazed that I haven't run into you before. I live about 5 hours from the beaches around you and only go a couple times a year but do a lot of late night / early morning hunts. Hope to run into you some time. Congrats on the class ring and hope the owner is found. Wydi ill guess a penny.

[@CarsYouCanFix]

What's the metal detecting etiquette? I have a detector from Garrett and would like to give it a shot at the local SoCal beaches, just don't want to step on any toes.

[@tommychew6544]

I'll kick in my green two cents. I've been a Garrett user since the early eighties. I have many trusted detectorist friends that I comment back and forth with. You can find things up in the dry sand but not down in the wet, the saltwater causes issues with the AT Max that I own from what I have been told. Garrett is just now coming out with a new Vortex multilevel detector line that I can't wait to see someone use down in the salt water wet areas, it has a mode for it. And the beach is free range, if anyone has a problem, it's on them not you. And people miss plenty of good targets, a beach is never searched out.

[@terrirogers6965]

I agree that the beach is free game, but I personally try not to get too close to others. The biggie, always fill in your holes! Always! Always take what you dig with you, don’t leave the beach worse than you found it. Always leave the beach cleaner than you found it. 😊

[@tommychew6544]

@@terrirogers6965 100% You always do that! I like how Pirate Mike always makes sure to get the plastic off the beaches. Those plastics kill our sea life and birds. Plastics will likely be our downfall. From fish nets to bottles and even cigarette buts. They are not natural to any animal, we made them. Their introduction has changed more then we will ever understand.

[@funwithjim]

Just go have fun, where ever you want to hunt on any SoCal beach is good with every detectorist. We are just a fun community enjoy to same hobby. Now, if someone is gridding an area just wave and walk around giving them enough space to keep gridding.

[@Diggin_Ohio_Jewels]

Cool Hunt, Jim. The Class Ring is Dope! The Guy That Gets That Back, Sure is Lucky That You Rescued it. Well Done! Keep Diggin' & Good Luck on Your Next Hunt.

[@Amy_McFarland]

Great hunt as always. Going with a silver ring on this wydi.

[@tommychew6544]

Had to pause the video before the 3 min. point because I was laughing so hard about the long piercing piece with both ends attached and remembering heavy metal Daves comment from a few videos ago saying, 'Jim that looks painful!'.🤣🤣I hate to think of where that could have been attached!

[@nicolalewin]

Silver ring. Many thanks!

Hi Jim,great finds out by the wet! I think that this week's dig it is a Benjamin Half Dollar!

A pretty productive morning there Jim. I would dig up that quarter any day. 😊

[@Ufopirate17Q-so5pb]

When's the last time you found any barber coin or older silver coin on the beach?

[@funwithjim]

I found old silver coins after a large swell in late September last year 2023. Hopefully we get big swells again soon.

[@trinatyler689]

I hope you find the owner. Great hunt. I would dig that cross.

[@esteb02]

Hey Jim, gotta give you credit. 3:30 am on the beach. You have more energy than me. Show a video of the return of the ring if you find the owner. For the wydi, I'm guessing a penny.

[@debraamos]

Beautiful cross no matter what it is made of. God put the only gold you found today in your hands jut to return something that someone had worked for for many years then lost. Hope they get up with uou. If not, you tried. I think wydi is a button

Nice work keep it up. Getting ready to head out your way in a couple weeks. Is there any free parking around Huntington Beach

[@funwithjim]

Yes, I often enter at 17th street. Free parking one block up from PCH and easy access to beach. I walk to Huntington Street and usually do really well with change and other fun items.

[@fredjones9702]

@@funwithjim thanks i will keep my eyes open maybe I will see you and your other friends there

[@davidlundy2312]

Question, I'm in Georgia, woods may have 8-10 inches top soil, newer residential areas maybe a foot of fill dirt, old residential usually 5 or 6 inches of softer dirt. Either way eventually you get down to hard pack or clay of sorts where the oldest stuff stops sinking. How much sand would an average beach in CA, GA, SC,.. wherever, have? And how deep could the 50-100-200 year old stuff possibly end up? Love your vids 💯

[@funwithjim]

Great question, from my experience the older items all collect together in collection areas on the beach, some times it takes years for the items to be either pushed up because of a large long period swell or storm with high wind swell or current shift causing a lateral drift that exposes the area. So when we talk depth it could be 15ft of sand or more that all the good targets get slowly collected to over the years. I waited 25 years for one area of the beach to produce, and it only lasted 12 hours.

[@bethcorey6022]

Aawww Haley looks so good, how has her health been since all her surgery’s ❤

For a while the fashion was to have “stackable” rings. People can wear 2-3-4 or more at once. 9 times out of 10, the rings are junk metal. So the tiny ring with the stone is probably a stackable.

Congratulations on gold ring and the other goodies. Hope you find the owner of the class ring. Curious why you don’t use a Manticore. I love mine. I think it’s a penny.

[@funwithjim]

Well, I would have to show you why I don't. Meet me at my local beach some day and I can show you exactly why without having to poopoo the Manticore and how much more difficult it is to use and why I use the 900 on my local beach. The same reason on why I do not use the XP Deus II on my local beach unless certain conditions are present.

[@jeffprovost664]

@@funwithjim I would really like to meet you and see you in action. However I’m in Florida and probably wont make it out there. I knew there had to be a reason you can’t use the Manticore. Black sand probably the main culprit. Interesting how machines react in different locations. Always look forward to your videos.

[@tommychew6544]

You're 100% correct on the work harder part, what most people don't realize is that it's not just going out early. It's understanding the conditions of the area and knowing your machine intimately. That's what most don't understand, it's not a take it out of the box and find gold 99% of the time, that's not the case. You have to put in the time and truly work hard to figure out what your machine is trying to tell you, if you have it set correctly for the conditions you are in. That's why there are so many naysayers out there. They just didn't have the ability to pick on how to do it.

The Black sand is not gold bearing black sand it is from the magnetite off shore. The black sand from the San Gabriel river would be gold bearing. So all black sand is not the same but it is a good indicator for gold.
