This is a video that my detecting buddy made. It is probably the best video I have seen in my life and I had no knowledge that it was being made until I received it. Thank you Jerry ,you’re one of the best friends a man could have and thank you to all of those that helped Jerry make this amazing video. Terry

I thank you for your service also my friend and I appreciate your patriotism. Terry

[@Aquabob1]

Hi Terry, first of all, Thank you for your service..! I am probably one of your biggest fans...😊😊 I have watched all of your videos, time and time again, trying to learn as much as I can about beaches. I do all of my hunting in Pennsylvania and the coast of Delaware and Maryland. My number one “bucket list” item, is to hunt on the treasure coast after a substantial storm...! Metal Detecting for me is all about saving history, I love history....! I hope you are doing well, take care Terry...! With much respect, Bob Evans

[@terryshannon2991]

Bob I am sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you. I somehow missed your post. First off I thank you for your kind words and if you are ever in the Melbourne area please look me up. The very best to you a fellow history buff. Terry

From one Veteran to another, Well Done my friend, Well Done!!!👍🇺🇸

[@terryshannon2991]

I thank you for your service as well my friend. This video was made for me by a close friend and given to me as a surprise. Jerry did a heck of a job. Good luck. Terry

[@Nan-1017]

How can one NOT get emotional while watching this video?? I am a proud American and thank you Mr. Shannon for your brave service to this great nation. Wonderful video...thank you so much!🇺🇸

[@terryshannon2991]

Thank you Nan. This video was made for me by a friend and I was totally surprised. When I watched it the first time I had tears running down both cheeks. I am a totally blessed man to have the type of friends I enjoy. Terry

Terry Shannon 😊

[@starsaboveearthbelow5645]

It's good to know you're doing okay Mr. Shannon. I got a bit worried seeing the beginning of this video. I was praying they weren't trying to retire you along with that flag, especially after reading about you having to resolve some medical issue. I enjoy watching these videos and find them very interesting and informative. I have a huge desire to learn how to metal detect. I think I'm driven more for rediscovery of the past aspect of it even though I don't mind finding coins and rings either. I've been saving for a better detector so I appreciate the videos you made about the sovereign gt, and the coils. I think those will be the ones I look for. You have some sound advice, and it's nice to listen to someone that knows what you're talking about. Take care of yourself and hope to see more videos from you with any other tips you think could help out.

[@terryshannon2991]

Thank you for commenting on the video. My hunting partner made it and surprised me with it and of course I was really moved. On the health issue, last year Jerry and I got into an area just loaded with old artifacts and coins. We dug from early morning till after dark and I injured my knee. It's something I will just have to deal with but Jerry and I and another friend found five 8 reales so it was well worth it. Metal detecting is a great hobby and I wish you well and if I can help in any way feel free to contact me. Terry

[@starsaboveearthbelow5645]

@@terryshannon2991I'm just amazed by your ability. i really hope to see another made with you giving more advice for us new birds. last time I was out I remembered everything you said in one of these videos and had much better luck than ever before, even with my crummy detector. Hope your knee recovers Terry.

Thanks to all who made this video possible. America the Beautiful! Im proud of my country. -an Army mom ❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@terryshannon2991]

It was sure a surprise when I received it and I just wanted to share. Army mom I thank you for your service. In my mind the ones that stay home serve as much if not more than those of us that reported for active duty. I salute you army mom. Terry

[@georgehaven8895]

Thank you sir, for that video. There are a lot of us who feel incredible gratitude towards the men and women who have given so much for our country. I live in Satellite Beach and just last week started detecting on the beach. Do you know if there has been success here? I've only been out twice and am certainly doing my part to clean up the beach from pull tabs, etc. :)

[@terryshannon2991]

George thank you for your kind words. My friend made this video for me as a surprise and I can watch it without choking up. I detect the satellite beaches often. If you see me out there please stop me so we can visit. I wish you the very best of luck. Terry

[@georgehaven8895]

@@terryshannon2991 If you let me know when you're up this way, I'll buy you lunch or dinner at Longdoggers. I've got a lot of questions :)
