Manatees and GOLD! Beach Metal Detecting

[@kathyl5610]

I’m ways happy to see your videos pop up! I’ve tried watching other metal detector channels, and nope, yours is the best channel on KZbin. I really enjoy tagging along with you. You are always entertaining, and I feel like we see the real you. Good finds today and seeing the Manatees was the best. Thanks for sharing.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! You wouldn't want to see my acting 😂

[@cynthiacisneros1694]

Me too❣️

[@onedestiny_144]

Well said @kathyl5610. My brother has dementia and Detect Florida videos are his favorite!

[@LachayJohnson-u4x]

I totally agree...

[@Kim-ck2gk]

The shark teeth are so cool!! Manatees everywhere! Thanks for the great day swinging!😎😎😎

[@erinkellie4078]

This is the best video to wake up to!! Loved the manatees!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!! Me too!

[@MaggieG121]

My favorite phrase: "It's in the scoop!" While you won't get rich on the coins you find, you provide such a enjoyment for those of us at home. You're awesome!

[@sierrawave]

Yeah! I was thinking he needs to make some t-shirts and merch with that phrase.

[@shirpom8577]

God's gift of nature, the manatees and turtle! Beautiful! Nice cleanup of trash and weights. Gold and silver! I keep waiting for you to find some pirate treasures! 😁 Thanks for taking us on your adventure! 😊❤️👍

[@MaryLong-jf9th]

Yay…. What a Great Morning … Love your Videos!!!!

[@lulubelle0bresil]

Of course we keep watching for your wonderful finds (and persistence) but there are added benefits that are quite pleasing too, the manatees!!!!! The turtle! The birds, even lil' fishies, that's so wonderful. Most wildlife has disappeared where I'm from, from my childhood to now, so I'm very glad you still have all that wildlife around. Those are precious and I hope they keep existing forever. I also feel a surge of joy when I see you are cleaning up the beaches from fish hooks and those pesky weights and other metal junk. It's a win-win for me!

[@wendyhansen3223]

I loved watching the storms roll in. I live in Utah and I am so jealous of your rain.

[@arcticmorning]

One of the few KZbinrs i give a thumbs up before i watch the video... never disappointed.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you so much!

[@Rhonda1776]

Enjoyed watching all the sea life ❤️ thanks for sharing

[@marilynpope5756]

Really love to watch your channel. No nonsense, just detecting ans some humor😊

[@jadefurman2840]

Another great hunt brother! Thanks for taking us along

[@nancyschindler4844]

Thanks for bringing us along! Loved the manatees!

[@salishseaquest7952]

My latest, much needed dose of Happy! Shawn, I so appreciate you and the work that you do. Always makes me smile. Extra added bonus -- no, not the freaking pull-tabs, but those rings, shark's teeth & manatees!

[@anissathompson9542]

My husband and I love your videos! We have just taken up metal detecting and love it! We watch your weekly videos and have learned so much. Thanks, Shawn

[@DetectFlorida]

That’s awesome!! Good luck out there!

[@anissathompson9542]

@@DetectFlorida thanks! We are headed to Florida this coming weekend and are excited to detect the beaches!

[@joekaufman4707]

another fun video and a nice gold find

[@PlanttreesMS]

A gold ring! Yay! Most enjoyable, though, were the manatee herds and the happy turtle on a jaunty walk down the beach. Thanks!

[@echobeefpv8530]

I enjoy your videos ! As a new detectorist, I like that you are show a lot of your finds, not just the good stuff. Keep up the good work !

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! I don't show all of the trash because I feel that people might get bored after I keep pulling out so much junk. I also don't want to give the impression that all I find is good stuff because people might get into the hobby thinking that's how metal detecting is. I dig sooooo much trash out of the beaches here! haha

[@onlyjesussaves840]

Nice sea cow sighting! Very blessed they came so close. :) Thnx for sharing! :)

[@davesoucier5531]

Your perseverance was rewarded handsomely! Great job, Shawn!

[@Christine-fg2re]

Thanks for another cool video. Manatees and a turtle added bonuses

[@AnneKarnos]

You are so cool find happiness in everything you find. I am always hoping you find the biggest and heaviest gold ring. Thanks for taking us a long lots of fun today.

[@crazywillkeno5216]

Enjoyed my first fresh Detect Florida video after binge watching I think all your other ones! Yep, you gotcha a fan for sure and I have been binge watching your SoFlo buddies as well since they produce similar content as yourself! Keep up the great hunting and can't wait to see another recovery because I find those to be the most entertaining and heart warming. Good Karma is hard to beat and you are permanently blessed with it thanks to your giving spirit that fortunately you share with all of us! Thanks for that!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you so much!! I keep waiting for the next recovery too! Nobody has lost anything(and posted about it) in a few weeks now!

[@RichLouis-ze5bm]

Hello Detect Florida,my prayers go out to you and your family and friends,Hope your all doing fine after the last devastating HURRICANE came through.My prayers are with all the people affected by this storm up the eastern SEABOARD.

[@shilohwoods4516]

9 Teeth! Good for you. 😊 Hopefully you made it home before the storm. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Always a blessing.❤

[@DetectingMyrtleBeach]

Persistence is the key. Congrats on the gold ring. With gold over 2,600 an oz those are great finds :-)

[@CarolFelts-g9b]

Wow, shark teeth, manatees and gold rings, what a great day you had!

[@emilygarwood1373]

I love Manatees. So cool that you saw so many.

[@ticul111]

So great to see The manatees and sooooo close to you Shawn 😊

[@pamelatourney8692]

I love watching your videos. you're my favorite metal detector. I always get excited to watch your videos. ❤

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!

[@beachhuntersouthafrica]

Perseverance pays off! Even if it takes all day!

[@wendyknott7660]

Hi, love that you show us other things like the Manatees and your journey..its almost a mini travelogue too. For me, in the UK, it's brill. Really like your channel and enjoy seeing both the finds you return, which is so kind, and the finds you keep. Love it.

[@user-mf6wg9wo3y]

Love your videos. Yours are the ones I don’t FF thru😊

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!

[@RyeOnHam]

Love the pictures of the finds in the corner of the screen! I know I suggested it, but not sure if you saw my comment. Next level.

Awesome Manatee Sundee!

[@JIMDEBBIESCHIMEROWSKI]

I, have been enjoying your program. I also tried watching other videos from other detectors but you have the knack of keeping me watching. Thanks.

[@edhughes8262]

Sweet hunt. I jokingly told my coworker I was watching for manatees on my visit to Clearwater this weekend and only found white, black and brown ferrel rabbits 🐇. I did find one 14 k ring on my beach hunt but really also enjoyed finding the shells 🐚 and coins (no silvers). Congrats on the 50k subs 👍🏻

[@theresa5168]

Love the Manatee, good video.

[@DanKoning777]

Great content start to finish-well done Shawn. 👍

Hubby watching F1 and I am catching up with my favourite metal detector KZbinr.

[@docbeav2]

Shredded copper stuff were fragments of the copper jacketing on bullets.

[@daniellebrothers3688]

Those manatees seemed curious about you!😅 Maybe wondering what you were doing with that big storm coming in haha. As always I really enjoyed your video. My closest Ocean coast is Oregon, so I truly appreciate the beauty and radical diversity of the two sides of our continent. ❤

[@hjgibbs7806]

Great video Shawn . I love the Manatees and the turtle That was cool. I laughed when you found the big fishing weight and you said I hope my pants don’t fall off on the way out and don’t look lol😂see you next time ☮️out

[@JulianYañez94]

I started to watch your videos las week, and now i'm waiting to have the notification for a new one! Soon will get my first metal detector , thanks for share knowledge about this amazing hobby

[@diannesandenfebles2774]

Great day at the beaches!

[@wildliferules5986]

aka Margo K What a treasure to be with the Manatees..Lucky you. I told you before I so miss the Ocean in Fla. take care

[@mommycontent]

That was funny with the NOT in the corner

[@thedirtprincess3293]

Love seeing the manatees!!!😊

[@allauricia1985]

The only way to make your videos any better is to make them longer Yeah longer videos on this channel I like that idea

[@Tammie-nx9zn]

Good job. I like that you clean out the junk. You are a good man. God bless

Thank you!!

Thank you!

[@AL-vo2uh]

With all that detecting and sun you're gonna need a nap. Long day, but the manatees were amazing. The first time I saw manatees that closely I was in a kayak and was worried about just how easily they could flip me out (they didn't, they were just curious I think) Also, so cool finding fossils. I want to learn more about that as well. I think I found the second ring or something similar. Would be easier if I could see the brand inscription. It is from a Canadian brand Heinrichs jewellery. (Variation 6mm-solid-gold-tailor-made-ring, satin finish, yellow & white gold, most likely 10kt.)

[@JamesSmith-wy7zk]

I love watching your channel. You are so nice of a person and produce great videos. I have been wanting to get into metal detecting for years. I'm retiring soon and my gift to myself is a metal detector. Going to get the Minelab Manticore. I make many trips to Florida as that is where I am from, so I hope to see you at the beach some day. I now live in Georgia, so I hope to find some Civil War stuff. I live in an area that has had a lot of Civil War activity. All the best!

[@DetectFlorida]

That's awesome! The Manticore is an excellent choice as it works exceptionally well in water and on land. They're pricey, but if you know that it's what you really want to do, I highly recommend it!

[@joebuying4568]

The fossil you found at the 08:10 minute mark is a partial dugong rib, a common fossil find in Florida.

[@mickeyhunkin5625]

Looks like a fun day !

I love your video and looked up for the scoop. I got shocked by their price OMG!!

[@DetectFlorida]

Yeahhh they don't give them away, but you get what you pay for. There's nothing better!

[@michelsanfilippo5340]

Totally awesome video. Can't wait for the next one.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!

[@SLO-Ride]

Copper bits, are Cupronickel bullet jackets. The lead core is missing, which usually happens when the bullet impacts the sand behind the target, and the bits fly into the water. Likely, there was a military firing range, where they fired .50 BMG. The bounces and ricochets wound up in the water. I live near Vandenberg SFB in California, and back when the Army owned it, all the small arms ranges fired toward and into the sea. There are so many bullets and broken jackets, that the beach can look like copper pebbles.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!!

[@KUHLFinds]

Looked like a normal hunt for me minus the 4 rings. 🤣 Definitely about par on the sinkers though. Hey they always say you can’t find them if your not swinging over them. Nice job!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!

[@RaptureGen]

I lost my 200 pound solid 24k gold ring in the ocean at that beach. It’s a size 4,000. I spent a pretty penny on it, around $2 so if you could find it for me it would be very awesome so I don’t have to spend that much money again for a new one! Oh and it’s got an engraving inside that says “I love your videos, keep them up bro and keep making people happy by finding and returning their lost jewelry to them.” God bless!

[@aaronnaas6546]

Hello, from Louisiana. I hope Helene didn't affect you adversely. God knows the havoc it wreaked even further north of where you are. We lucked out, as Francine was mild. Just lost power for a few hours. I pray you and your dad and friends are doing well.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!! We fared pretty well through the storm. Others nearby weren't nearly as lucky. So many people lost their homes just a couple of minutes down the road :(

[@ifindmetal]

You get so much shells there you should get a floating sifting basket from CKG

[@elnino842]

You should make a video of youe typical load out to go to the beach. What if any gear you like to carry with you, what you might recommend to people like myself getting into this hobby.

[@lauram5195]

Love your videos!!! So much fun! I wonder if you could say or put on the videos which beach your on. Idk if that would be too much info.

[@DetectFlorida]

I typically don't, especially if I'm doing well. Most of the local detectorists watch my channel so they know where to search next lol

[@JanisPrice-m9w]

So enjoy your videos! I want to come to Florida to measure your biceps. All those scoops and scans❣️

[@elizabethbaldwin8488]

For a second i thought you said "gonna get some lunch and pick a NUDE beach" instea of new beach lol

[@DetectFlorida]

Hahaha I’ve done that before! Had to be careful where the camera was pointed!

[@jetegtmeier71]

some of that copper was definitely bullet casing BUT, the way they were shredded they discharged out of battery, they were NOT in a gun when fired, hence the shredded piece you found

[@JerseyLostRingMetalDetecting]

It's copper jacket that has separated from the lead of bullets ( probably .50 cal), not the casing.

[@ScarletStars13]

You might not find super expensive things everytime but you're doing a great service by getting all that trash out! Imagine someone walking and they cut their feet on some of that stuff! Great to get them off the beach and out the water

Awww the manatees are saying hi. They seem like they are curious and are trying to figure out what you are doing. Do you think that the sound of the rocks and shells clacking in the scoop is attacking them?
