Metal detecting at a popular party beach

Anything is possible when you're metal detecting where people are drinking!!!

[@scottmcclory8312]

great to see you and your DAD detecting together

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Scott! I love that he enjoys it so much!

[@jameshabovick8949]

I am a disabled vet and just started metal detecting here on the treasure coast of Florida, thank you for you show, learning a lot from your channel, thanks buddy

[@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie]

👍 learning myself, Australia

[@CownaEdits]

You and your dad are a great team👌

[@DetectFlorida]

I think so too!!

[@Ford_prefect_42]

You found a jet ski! That's the biggest find of the day

[@metaldetectingwithrocky1901]

I just love your vids, your personality and presentation!!!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks dude!!!

[@denisezaleski7504]

Look at how beautiful that water is.

[@fionaattenborough]

Sharks are hungry at that time of the day

[@raydunhill5160]

Hell of a try Shawn!! Great vid as usual!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Ray!!!

[@celticwanderer89]

Your videos are getting me stoked to be moving to cape coral/ft myers in a month! The water, sun, palm trees, and all the beeps!!

[@jimjustice581]

Would you, by any chance, know where I could pick up some fishing weights? 😁 But, seriously, I really enjoy your videos. Especially when you find and return lost jewelry to the owner. 👍

[@mariontheantiquarian7849]

Dang, how I did I miss this one?? Oh well. Still a beautiful day at the beach.

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha! The weather is finally cooperating, and it's been really nice!

[@debbie4220]

Great day at the beach! I sure do miss those west coast beaches! From Englewood north!! Ever detect playgrounds or boat ramps?

[@DetectFlorida]

Not too much. I only detect playgrounds when there's a lost ring that needs to be found. I much prefer the water in this hot florida heat

[@debbie4220]

@@DetectFlorida I’m in Vero Beach, and I hear you!

[@tipyourghuide]

Keep it up duuuude!

[@gyvren]

Panama City Beach would probably be another stellar place to check out..

[@DetectFlorida]

That's been on my list for a long time! I need to make my way up there one of these days

[@mwdjr3158]

Another great video! Thanks

[@daledietel8693]

South Lido is a great vacation spot

[@DetectFlorida]

I agree! Just have to get there early!!!

[@daledietel8693]

@@DetectFlorida I’ve found my share of fishing sinkers and a dime or two in the sand on the “Point”. The rock groins were added a few years ago when the beach was nearly gone. After some years of negotiating with Siesta, they were finally able to dredge; starting about 3 years ago. (I am on Lido for 2-3 weeks most years….)

[@JuliaHarrisx]

Finders keepers! The jet ski is now yours 😂

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha!! I wonder what happened to that thing!

[@josephwagner9201]

Always fun detecting with daddy. Wish I lived in Florida but Kentucky is far away

[@reapthewhirlwind6915]

Weird mf

[@lindatoole4531]

There’s so many people with detectors that’s why the beaches are cleaned out.

[@DetectFlorida]

The hobby has gained a TON of popularity in recent years. Its getting tougher and tougher every day

[@MrDekonCross]

Great video !!!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks!!!

[@darrenlambert3448]

Have you ever tried a little further north from where you were and tried in front of the ritz? Bet thatd have high potential

[@DetectFlorida]

Many times. It's hit or miss there, but I've had some awesome finds near the ritz!

[@RingsAndThings.]

Ive never found a gold chain either, hopefully some day we will srike it rich.

[@granvillewooster7673]

Nice video 👍

[@diannesandenfebles2774]

Great video! Beautiful cuts…too bad you didn’t find more jewelry there.

[@DetectFlorida]

I was kind of surprised that I didnt! It looked pretty good!

[@fooballyou]

Any day at the beach is a nice day!

[@ROImediaGuy]

What sort of bread great do you use with the Gopro?

[@tomtripptree5079]

FYI when you see a cut. Look at the face of it. If it’s sharp drop off it’s fresh. When it gets rounded usually not so fresh How do ou like Tony headphones

[@DetectFlorida]

I like them a lot. They're very loud. I believe they're starting to fail though. They've been through a lot. About 6 months into owning them, I started getting water inside. My machine was just sent out for repair. I'll likely be getting some new headphones put on while its in. I didn't have a great experience having Tony install my headphones, so I'll be going another route this time

[@SilverEOD]

0:56 Unless I'm mistaken, I'd say it looks like a seahorse was checking you out for a bit.

[@DetectFlorida]

That really did look like a seahorse!!!

[@russhowell1778]

Hey, great videos. Question 1 - what kind of scoop and carbon handle you using? and 2 - What headphones are you using on your excal?

[@DetectFlorida]

Thanks Russ! I use a stealth 720i hybrid with an xtreme 54" carbon fiber handle. The headphones on my excal are Tony Eisenhowers

[@abishop09]

I lost my in Hallandale beach last Saturday. Really devastated

[@DetectFlorida]

Ahh I wish I was closer!! Try reaching out to the ringfinders to see if they can send someone out to look for it

[@markc2036]

Does that happen a lot down there? People abandoning jet skis? Enjoyed the video.

[@DetectFlorida]

It's not very common! It usually takes a hurricane to let the jet skis loose

[@clarepaynick789]

Fun☮️

[@HailNjord]

Have you too been noticing the finds have been dropping off and it's mostly junk these days? I worked Miami South Beach last week and in 5 hours I only found 2 rings none were gold. Personally, I think the economy is the main factor. But, it's just not like it used to be in my opinion, especially for this time of year.

[@DetectFlorida]

Yeah, it's been a pretty slow year. Hopefully it picks up now that its getting warmer and more people are getting into the water

[@HailNjord]

@@DetectFlorida yesterday I dropped in at Manatee Beach and didn't find anything. I walked the entire 2.3 miles South to Coquina. I would drop in along the way behind a few hotels and beach access points, nothing there either. Worked Coquina from North to South and only found junk jewelry. Since people aren't using cash and we are about to switch to CDBC, coins are far and few in between now. No complaints about the coins because it's just about worthless nowadays. April into May has always been the best time of the year. Not everyone is hunting the water yet so there's more to find. The cooler water reduces inflammation allowing those rings to slid right off. Seems like there's fewer people at the beach throughout the week. The weekends seem busy but nothing to really find. I think until the economy gets better, which it's not anytime soon. Less people wearing mostly junk is going to continue equalling a bad season of hunting. Don't get me wrong I'm not giving up but the maximum effort of driving 10 hours round trip to Miami in a day. Also, working it for miles it's worth the effort right now. Good luck Shawn and keep posting videos. We all definitely need to see gold come up to keep hope alive.

[@rosegeaber7533]

Surprised you didn’t call in the registration number on the jet ski?! It’s rather ominous to see it sitting with sand in it and the key still in it?! Perhaps tell the police or Coast Guard?!

[@DetectFlorida]

It's a police patrolled beach. I'm sure it didn't take long for the proper people to be notified

[@FL.AirBoater]

Have you ever detected at beercan island?

[@DetectFlorida]

Yep! Haven't found much after they renourished it. It's been about a year and a half since I've been there

[@ConleyShairrick]

What kind of scoop are you using?

[@DetectFlorida]

Its a stealth 720i hybrid

[@FreeAmericanSpirit]

What part of FL are you in?

[@DetectFlorida]

I'm in Southwest Florida just south of Tampa

[@FreeAmericanSpirit]

@@DetectFlorida was wondering. It didn't look familiar... Haven't been down that far on the west coast for about 30 years....

[@squidtrap4264]

was the jet ski a high tone??? 😂

[@DetectFlorida]

Haha! It was! 😂

[@richardcrippen2833]

? Have you ever recovered any pirate gold or silver coins? Or Artifacts of same? Not where, just if?

[@DetectFlorida]

I once recovered a copper shipwreck coin. I didn't realize it until i dumped out my clad coins from my pouch at the end of the day, and heard a distinct noise that didn't sound like the rest of them. What I thought was a penny, was coin from the late 1700's to early 1800's

[@davidfarmer1666]

What you are doing is great for the environment. You and your buddies are to be commended for all your efforts. I know that you are doing your detecting for the riches but, those items are in the environment and need to be removed.

[@DetectFlorida]

We actually don't do it for the riches. That's just a bonus! We're just a bunch of friends who like to go on adventures. Cleaning up the beaches is just part of the fun!

[@mikeault4898]

I’m hoping I get a chance at the metal detector I’m gonna say 49,000

[@davidfarmer1666]

A first, it is a chain anyway. You said you had never found a chain.

[@DetectFlorida]

I've found lots and lots of chains. Never a gold chain though!

[@brittanypayne9745]

I'm so sorry for your loss hope all is well with you love your shows

[@tracymiller1841]

Why don’t you have a pin pointer?

I typically search water that is too deep to use a pinpointer in. I use one when I search the dry land
