I think I found my new retirement gig. Time to move down to Fort Meyers.

[@debdeb5093]

I'm so happy to see you collect the litter.thank you🧡⭐

[@sandreawhite7534]

My daddy tweeted his metal detector to sound a different pitch with aluminum/poptabs, etc. He would hear the beep, find the treasure and we kids would cover up the holes. LOL. He was a real treasure finder. This was back in the 60’s/70’s.

[@alkarandam]

My husband lost his diamond and gold ring on the beach one month into the marriage. I kind of feel sad thinking someone must have found and sold it already. We couldn't afford to get him another one because they are so expensive. It's been 7 years.

[@rosehobbs6051]

So sorry. I understand how you feel.

[@jamesmurray5934]

That's why you shouldn't have jewelry on when swimming

[@RingsAndThings.]

We don't sell any of the rings we find. We post them on our page for people to claim.

Thanks for the video, so nice to see someone enjoying the beach while I'm here in PA freezing my butt off. Love the rings!

[@tricial4330]

the 10K ring looks like an intaglio ring. looks like a great day for all of you!

[@TakeTheRide]

I often look in this area where people hang out... "hopefully losing stuff during the day" 😂 If I ever need a smile, your channel will bring it to me. I'm so glad I found you today and subscribed.

[@maxsands3861]

Awesome rings, first hole! When that lady was standing beside you and you blurted out "beavertail" I thought oh oh I hope she knows metal detecting lingo! I got a great laugh this morning thank you.

[@DetectFlorida]

lmaooooooo I never thought of that!!! It's such common lingo in the metal detecting world 😂

[@bonnie2057]

fun way to clean up the beach

[@netamorton4832]

Great find Shawn! You all always have such a great time together and that’s awesome!❤️

[@kkamas1]

Congrats on finding the ring and the pendant!! I get a strong sense of satisfaction just watching you sift the sand out of your scoop---glad when you find more than a 'freaking pull tab!' Good job!

[@maureen14]

I lived in Fort Myers for 5 years and only went to the beach once for about 2 hours. I'm not a beach person. I'd rather walk the beach at night. I moved back to New England bc Florida just wasn't for me, but I'm very interested in metal detecting, always was. Maybe I'll take it up as a hobby in my retirement.

[@user-dd7mc7mg1n]

Hey, we love watching your hunts. I think the beautiful split diamond ring might have been a wedding band. When my friend’s husband passed away, she had his band cut and shaped just like the one you found.

You know what, respect for that opening line and recognizing sometimes you just don't find diddly. Too much clickbait out there and I appreciate you keeping it real.

Haha thank you!!! I don't want to waste anyone's time with a crappy video. I'd rather have no video than to make you guys watch me find nothing but trash lol

been raining here in california. got the V12 coil for my vanquish 340. and the rain cover. ,it was only $60 on craigslist. but real easy to use. found $.27 and a pair of shears ,the 2 hours i was at the beach. days ago. have a good day.

[@rozcrowden6629]

What an AWESOME dig. From old man noises (which you were guilty of too 😂😂) to those gorgeous rings. You must be looking forward to summer getting closer. Ours has just finished here in 🇦🇺

[@DetectFlorida]

I'm soooooo ready!!! People are finally getting back into the water now that it's getting warmer. And best of all, the tourists are coming back!

​@pippilongstocking-qs7fm I agree ypu should see how many bricks of cocaine wash ashore yearly 😂😂😂 people retire on the beaches here

[@DetectFlorida]

I hope everything was ok after the hurricane! One of my detecting friends is a lineman and was one of the first people out there after the storm. The drone footage he sent me was horrifying

[@Juls716]

4:32 Preparation H 😳💀🤣🤣🤣 (antibiotic ointment) Fantastic finds guys! ✌🏼

[@lizarrrdbeth]

Definitely not antibiotic ointment!

[@lizarrrdbeth]

I need one of those basket scoopers!! They are sure handy!!!

[@DetectFlorida]

They're just as important as a good metal detector!! Mine is from Xtreme Scoops in Texas

[@lisathomas1622]

That’s a cool older ring called an intaglio style, meaning carved in rather than cameo style which is raised.

[@maureen14]

It wasn't dirty like that when I lived in Fort Myers in the early nineties.

[@user-im3do4xk3e]

I'm 66, I'm familiar with that old man noise

[@maureen14]

You should powder coat your scooper black so that jewelry, shiny things show up better.

[@DetectFlorida]

The only issue is that sand is sooooo abrasive. A company currently makes powder coated scoops, and the powder coat lasts about 2 hours

[@bfoster2335]

You are living my dream

[@fooballyou]

The water sure is muddy down there compared to a little further north in the Sarasota/St. Pete/Clearwater area. Nice scores for both you guys. Nice to see people swimming again!

[@DetectFlorida]

There's still so many hazards in the water. I wouldn't get in there without some kind of shoes on

[@Tonytonytony948]

You sound exactly like Jordan the lion. WOW WOW

[@DavidPaxton-tj1wt]

Ft. Myers Beach??? I graduated from Ft Myers High. It sure has hanged a bunch. Is that whats left of the old Ft Myers Pier??? That hurricane really did a lot of damage. The old open air restaurant /eating area that use to be at the base is probably completely gone completely. Do the plan to rebuild the pier???

[@DetectFlorida]

All of those restaurants are totally gone :( They're rebuilding the pier, but it probably won't happen until next year. It's gonna be a long time until that area feels normal again

[@brewingant8759]

[@rhondascraftobsessions5817]

I am afraid of being attacked by a shark or something venumous. I would not go that deep in the water. You're my hero.

[@mariontheantiquarian7849]

Any day at the beach is a great day… nice ring. I am probably the only person who is not enamored by Sanibel 😂

[@DetectFlorida]

I've been detecting Sanibel for years and still haven't had a good day out there! People tell me that it's great to detect there, but I'm having a hard time believing them! lol

[@nancyb116]

Great day metal detecting on the beach. Do you have a link for scoops? My hubbys wanting a new one. Thanks

[@DetectFlorida]

Here you go!! This is the scoop that I use xtremescoops.com/scoops/?single_prod_id=129

[@kevinmorgan69]

Hey thanks for the video’s. Really enjoyed watching. One question do you have to take any precautions or do you worry about the salt water effects on your equipment

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! That's always a concern. I need my machines to be running in tip top shape, so they get a good freshwater bath after every hunt

[@wackyrice1]

. . . s good place to magnet fish from shore. . . .

[@DetectFlorida]

Not a bad idea. It’s LOADED with ferrous targets

[@AlabamaDigger]

When your going back and forth water to beach are you using the red plug ? Also are the bone conducting phones good ?

[@sunnybunny222]

this is so fun!! could you share what kind of metal detector you're using? i'm guessing there is a wide range of options out there... thanks for sharing your fun days.

[@DetectFlorida]

I currently alternate between a Minelab Manticore and an XP Deus 2

[@sunnybunny222]

@@DetectFlorida thank you. i am really enjoying watching your videos...reminds me of home...but you are quite brave...i don't think i would ever go in that deep of water...

[@diannesandenfebles2774]

Looks like the weather is really nice. Did anyone get too cold to stay in the water? I can’t even pass up a penny signal. Our beaches up north of Jacksonville are bare lately! Nice video either way great ring finds!

[@DetectFlorida]

The water was surprisingly warm! I think we finally got over the cold winter weather, and I won't have to wear a wetsuit again until next season :)

[@DezrahM]

Omg I saw u went to fort myers! That’s where I’m from

[@ssmith0319]

Hey man do you have any tips on setting on the Deus2 in the Florida saltwater beach? I hunt lakes in Louisiana and feel I know my machine well. Just hoping for a few tip’s before I head over there.

[@DetectFlorida]

The sensitivity of the factory beach programs is way too high. I set it back to around 80, and change the ground balance to tracking. It will really help stabilize the machine in salt water

[@surfstarcc1]

Freaking pull tab!!! 🤣

[@oas_4790]

It is brown alot of the time. Even prior to the hurricane. They also just released water from Lake Okeechobee so it’s crazy how brown it gets :(

[@DetectFlorida]

Fort Myers will never have the same vibes to it anymore. With so many buildings gone, it will be modernized and commercialized. So sad :( But yes, the water is rarely clear there anymore
