[@RogerEhinger-tg1hv]

Jim thanks for the sunrise at the wedge. My cousin and I used to go down there in the mid sixties to lose our swim fins and get sandpapered on the bottom. Just body surfing and not very good at it. Nobody believes the stories about the wedge if they have never been there.

[@funwithjim]

I loved the wedge as a kid, now I prefer to spectate, Lol! Even metal detecting there can be dangerous.

[@kevinaldcroft6291]

Great Metal detecting grab a cold one or two or three.

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@714metaldetecting]

Great hunt Jim. Thanks for sharing

[@funwithjim]

[@superbee-di5tp]

[@funwithjim]

Thank you! 👍👍😎

[@rhondameyer4667]

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@bettyhair5007]

Can't wait to hear about that CKG package. Just got my new scoop from them and loving it!

[@funwithjim]

Awesome, I am glad you are loving the new scoop. In the box is a carbon fiber shaft for the Equinox metal detector, I am loving it already. So much lighter and easier and about 1/2 the price of the others manufacturers. Thank you! 👍😎

[@cacas2662]

It's beauty

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@chrisernest3222]

Enjoy a cold one Jim

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Sweet What you got in the Box. looking forward to seeing what is in it..

[@funwithjim]

CKG carbon fiber shaft for the Equinox. I love it already! I will show it to you on Tuesday.

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

@@funwithjim Cool I bought the Tele-knox Carbon Shaft it Collapses shorter then the Simplex

[@ronaldroberts8515]

Thanx Jim for the video as I really look forward to them. That beach Balboa how did it get that name hmmm rocky Balboa lol and oh I found some silver the other day as I was on Amazon lol taker easy.

[@funwithjim]

Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, knowing the History of Balboa and you might understand why Sylvester Stallone used the name. Ironically Stallone was living here in SoCal when he wrote Rocky

[@mauriceross6375]

Good video and a nice find

[@funwithjim]

Thanks 👍

[@dansdigs6783]

Nice hunt. Taped up the scoop, I see. Interesting video even though I'm far from any beach. Good Luck!

[@funwithjim]

Thanks, you too!👍😎

[@lyndaholloway5469]

Love watching your channel. My ears must have blinked as I missed why they are digging up Balboa beach.

[@funwithjim]

They raised the height of the sand berm to prevent flooding, due to the large surf. Thank you! 👍

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

I am learning when Jim is out detecting there is Nothing Left Behind.. lol You sure do kill the beaches.. Another Great video..

[@funwithjim]

I do dig a lot, I know I wouldn't want to detect behind me but I am human and can miss targets just like all of us can. Thank you! 👍😎🍻

[@tamberlymorgan1931]

aww

[@oldpelon]

Nice hunt Jim

[@funwithjim]

Thank you! 👍😎

[@barbaramora9444]

I love, love, love watching you Jim I wish I could metal detect also in the beaches of California But I'm from new Mexico ☹☹

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙

[@katpraeuner9794]

And New Mexico doesn't allow detecting almost everywhere, I looked. I'm also from New Mexico with a nice lake 4 miles away but you can't detect it or any other state park. So I just have to satisfy myself with your videos. I had my mom's jewelry tested and one of the "diamonds" was actually a white topaz, which is my birthstone. The gal said they are more rare than diamonds are. Anyway, she had a gizmo that told her what the stones were and the quality. I thought that was interesting and wondered if you had one or knew about what device it is. Great finds and the surfing was fun to watch!

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

I know it is you that are eating those ring pops.. You pick up a lot of them..6 hrs is a good amount of swinging and Congrats on the gold and rings.

[@funwithjim]

I wish it was me eating those ring pops, Lol! Thank you!

[@mikebridgewater9228]

Your A.D.D was kicking in Pretty good in this Video. LOL

[@funwithjim]

Yes, it tends to do that!

[@nvmetaldetecting]

I found what looks to be a crazy homemade silver ring. Custom jewelry is the best

[@funwithjim]

Hi James, Thank you hope you are doing well! 👍👍😎

[@nvmetaldetecting]

@@funwithjim yep doing good going to be down at San onofre state park the 7 to the 12th of June with a church youth group

[@JMetalDetecting]

Nice !

[@funwithjim]

Thanks!👍😎

[@bigscore1]

Found my first ring pop yesterday. That made me laugh

[@funwithjim]

I found 2 unopened on the beach this morning, Lol! Thank you 🤙

[@ecks_marks_the_spot]

Jim should try the magnifier app on Jim's phone. ;)

[@funwithjim]

Jim has destroyed a couple of phones already doing that very thing, Lol! Thank You!

[@frankmons4889]

I’ve learned that while trying to dig a target is a sure way of summoning a wave. Of course if you want to get rid of them just take a big scoop and notice how there is not enough water for the rinse!😂😂👍👍👍

[@funwithjim]

Lol, So True! 😂👍😎🍻

[@KingXFactor12]

Thanks for the great videos. I purchased the Legend thanks to your previous videos and website. Question. What mode would you use the Legend on a fresh water beach?

[@funwithjim]

Thank you but I have never used the Legend so I would not be able to assist you with the settings. Try Steve the Gigmaster, he uses a legend I I think has a few videos sharing his settings. Thank You 👍

[@KingXFactor12]

@funwithjim thanks for your quick response. I sent you that message by mistake, sorry for the confusion. I really enjoy your videos, cheers.

[@scoopingdutchman4325]

That ‘s a beautiful ring. Lost and found! I am sure that its precious to someone. Do you try to get it back with the owner?

[@funwithjim]

I do return when I have the opportunity too, much easier to return items with dates or names but even then extremely difficult to locate owner. Ring Finders and our local guy "Surf City Ring Finder" usually handles the calls for lost items in our area, they know everything I find and will reach out if an identifiable items can be returned. Even then it is rare to return, most people who lose an item never report the loss. Thank you!

[@corythetreasurehunter9638]

The ring is stunning!! .. hey, what were the coin/token things you couldn't identify when you 1st found them? :)

[@funwithjim]

I still cannot identify any markings, I need to run them through the tumbler. Thank You, the wife confiscated it already. Lol!

[@brucemanning7796]

How long is the video before you edit ? How much time do you usually spend out there metal detecting ?

[@funwithjim]

I average about 6 hours a hunt, video recording can be like 2 hours maybe and to edit takes another 12 to 20 hours if I can stay awake. Lol!

[@1983zoe]

What’s a wheaty? I’ve heard you mention it before but I’m from the uk and don’t think it’s a thing over here or I’ve just never heard of it

[@1983zoe]

Sorry I know I comment on a lot of your older vids but I’m relatively new to the channel and fascinated lol

[@funwithjim]

a wheatie is a coin, an older penny called a wheat cent.

[@barbaramora9444]

Jim, what will you do if someone sees your find and claims the item is theirs?

[@funwithjim]

It is all in the details, the real owner will easily answer the questions I ask. Thank you👍😎

[@PugZDesigns]

That ring is a few thousand. Looks like blue Topaz

[@funwithjim]

Yes, it is a beautiful Topaz. The wife already added it to her collection, Lol! She loves it! Thank you!

[@dansdigs6783]

Now I see you didn't tape it up. You move that scoop too fast. Beautiful ring.

[@funwithjim]

It is taped up now, I did it last night. Lol! Thank you, my wife has already claimed the ring. 👍👍😎

[@kathylaughner8335]

Be careful you don’t dehydrate. Maybe carry some water with you?

[@funwithjim]

I usually do carry water with me and I always keep water in my car. Dehydration is a common thing on the beaches especially when it is HOT! Thank you 🤙

[@philipcallicoat3147]

Someone asked, about why do you always hunt beaches? Like the bank robber Willy Sutton was asked; why do you rob banks? Willies answer was classic:"that's where the money is!". Same thing for you hunting beaches...."That's where the gold and silver is!" 😎

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙

[@dawnthemetaldetective3083]

Did you use to surf?

[@funwithjim]

Yes, I still due except the back is preventing me from doing it at this time! The Wedge would kill me today, Lol! Thank you!👍😎

[@kylesmith9804]

Use your cell phone, and take a picture, and then you can stretch it up to see detail on your find.

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙😎

[@larryrobinson4288]

You need to show the numbers on your detector when you get a target

[@funwithjim]

I will try to remember to do that, Thank you! 👍🍻😎

[@ASHERXDD]

i’m not trying to be rude, but why do you always choose to metal detect in the beaches?

[@funwithjim]

simple, I live near the beach and I find a lot of great stuff on the beaches.

[@paulsdogwalking]

nooooooo, dont stop the video editing part,,

[@funwithjim]

I can't make videos without the editing, but I would rather just hunt! Lol! Thank You!

[@capttbone11421]

Vid are way to long

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙

[@timothywilson5102]

Hi fun with Jim, my name is Timothy"The Main Source"J/W, the Mexican coins are magnetic 🧲.

[@funwithjim]

Thank you 🤙

[@coldmidgetts]

why all the cameras?? landscape pics?

[@funwithjim]

Cameras are for the Surfers at the Wedge, several KZbinrs Like BeefsTV and Skid Kids along with all the Surfer Magazines. The Wedge is one of the most famous Surf Spots in the world. Always lots of Photographers there. Thank you!
