[@rexfenris4856]

I would totally watch a treasure hunting series with this guy hosting. What charisma!!!

[@Ch3rryBomb769]

He posts new videos every week, sometimes a few times a week. Look him up here on KZbin Bondi Treasure Hunter. I’ve been faithfully watching since I first found his channel. He is always great to watch

[@saritulp1273]

Absolutely!

[@waywardmind]

This guy's living every kid's dream. Good for him! And he's so exuberant about it. His enthusiasm is infectious.

[@bbhon8812]

Yeah right, because every kids dream was to go hunting for treasures in lakes, and the ocean i dont think so. Most of it is fake.

[@jopo7996]

Great for this guy. He even has a magnetic personality.

[@TheHOBBIES20]

true!

[@leeproulx7412]

He absolutely exudes happiness and you’ll be smiling throughout his videos due to his sheer joy of adventure. Can’t wait for the next video. Their filming and editing makes for spectacular sceneries.

[@sameena713]

This guy needs a tv show!

[@BondiTreasureHunter]

Thanks for such an awesome interview! Can’t believe I found a safe live while filming 😃🤩🤙 Nicky and I are watching this in the back of our campervan in the Switzerland Alps on a treasure hunting adventure!

[@bleirdo_dude]

🤙 WOOOO!

[@zincolnminer6671]

🤙WHOOOOooo!

[@kinskifilms]

Leigh, you are the man and I loved discovering your videos basically the day I moved to Amsterdam in 2020. You radiate positive energy and hope that few people are capable of doing. Congrats on this coverage! Hope the canals don't get too crowded!

[@arranod]

Great interview Leigh!

[@babababuck]

Been following you for a couple of year's. Seen you in the thumbnail and clicked. It took me about 5 minutes to realize this was a Wired video. lol

[@Brozius2512]

Leigh's channel is really cool, always love watching him find treasure.

[@alanatolstad4824]

And, you've inspired a new generation of magnet hunters!

[@daleykun]

0:50 holy crap if that's a legit AP Royal Oak that's like a $40k watch - think I need a new career...

[@fourdoorsmorehoes]

it's very clearly fake, like a $30 watch

[@seasong7655]

Amazing job! Professional pirate and treasure finder

[@mistywilson3520]

He is also helping the environment by pulling all of that out of the water, what a cool guy!

[@janlopez1535]

Everyone go check out his channel Bondi Treasure Hunter here on KZbin! He’s taking us on an adventure and it really is amazing what he finds 💎👑💍 Go Leigh! Longtime subscriber here 🤙🤙🤙

[@Ofer_Davidi]

kzbin.info 💎👑💍 🙏✌️ 👏👏👏

[@rocketRobScott]

Coins everywhere? That reminded me of a recurring dream I used to have. I would be playing in the dirt by a curb, and find a coin, then another, dig a little and there would be coins everywhere! Fun dream. Love this guy.

[@seasong7655]

This guy really is living the dream. Wow

[@DwarfElvishDiplomacy]

He would be a great character in a Cthulhu roleplaying game

[@aprilp660]

So is this guy a full time hunter as a job? or is it a hobby? Does he sell the stuff he finds?

[@fourdoorsmorehoes]

well his actual job is filming it and putting it on youtube, that's what makes him money. I don't think he sells any of it. He either keeps it or returns it to owners

[@RomanDigger]

Hi Leigh! 😉Great video! Congratulations friend!👊

[@KrisMeister]

It's Bondi... Cool I've watched him on Facebook for years.

[@cadeevans4623]

Awesome job looking for treasures great finds and treasures

[@NettieB0724]

And you’re a doll! You, your lovely family and goofy friends are the most fun to watch! Stay safe!💕🤙🏻

[@theartesana]

Mmh 🤔 really thinking about buying a metal detector to take on our family trip! 🏴‍☠️

[@monmon-ht3jq]

I wonder if he has ever came across human remains

[@johnssmith4005]

7:30 That's the Ring of Power 😳

[@andyginterblues2961]

I bought a retrieval magnet and a (dry land) metal detector awhile back, but haven't been out treasure hunting with them yet. I also snorkel dive, and that rig that he uses that pumps air down to him when he's searching in shallow water is very cool- I have to get myself one of those.

[@tomburdett6639]

Love the interview.. watched it twice 👍👍👍😁

[@dabunnyrabbit2620]

if you are interested in magnet fishing, prepare to get lotsa fish hooks and don't be detoured because you probably won't find much at first, but keep at it!

[@lindaunderwood7840]

We started following the Bondi Treasure Hunter during the first lockdown and dad and I were lucky enough to meet Leigh and Nicky last August when they came to the UK. Great interview Leigh, yes Living the Dream and definitely needs his own TV show!

[@beachmetaldetectingcrete]

The best hobby in the world and a top bloke who loves what he does! “Hunt until we drop”🇬🇷🏖💙💪

[@SlimRhandis]

How are there so many safes at the bottom of rivers?

[@brickmultiverse]

Dear person reading this: I wish you the best for every step in your journey. Go and conquer your dreams!

[@BlankCanvas88]

I dropped some expensive Ray-Ban sunglasses in a creek in Georgia. I was so bummed. But you're welcome to go get them! ;)

[@frankabjh674]

happy fella love to see it

[@eternalbeing3339]

I am jealous. Have always wanted to metal detect in another country.

[@annaevans8479]

In an alternate universe, where Frank James is an Aussie ESTP...

[@enjoyerregret7039]

Who would pay 15k for a rusting bike???

[@jupiterwilkymay5161]

Pirates of the Caribbean straight up just LEFT A MOTORBIKE IN THE WATER??

[@kathleenoneill7414]

What a lovely broadcast! Bravo!

[@oguzsamsa2628]

this is so freaking uplifting!

[@itsjordyv]

You're officially a celebrity Leigh 😂💪🤘

[@mwmingram]

What a lovely genius.

[@MrAyrit]

Fascinating. I need one of those magnets.

[@mattfireblade9136]

I’m curious if you find precious and/or ancient items in foreign countries, do the customs allow you to bring it out the country? Or do you sell things locally to make a living?

[@UntilNextime]

Leigh is so much fun to watch and listen to. He really is living his life his way. I can see his riches being secondary as once he finds the proverbial holy grail his desire to search will still be alive in his heart.

[@why_so_serious]

Dude seems a bit crazy 😆

[@bradleyroissetter6796]

Iv always loved scuba diving and I'm an amateur free diver, I love finding things, so I think I just found my dream hobby/job thank you for the inspiration, this may change my life

[@willy1986tralara]

How he converts that massive spending into profit?

[@jjba3571]

By being a content creator, what he really is is a social media content creator, at leats is better than most bloggers that just travels and are pretty or tik tokers that are rich and just dance .... i prefer youtubers that actually do something entretaining

[@ma220]

Hello my friends🌹

[@invox9490]

Doing what you love with who you love. Definitelly living the dream.

[@osvaldoluizdeaguiar759]

Parabéns documentário da hora

[@Miss_Kisa94]

Boy out there living his best life!

[@Top10Tibbz]

Could definitely imagine a storyline where a criminal organization goes after this dude for constantly uncovering evidence

[@bleirdo_dude]

Leigh is fun to watch. Give Bondi Treasure Hunter a look.

[@zincolnminer6671]

🤙WHOOOooo!

[@houdannycomedymagic8642]

Great story! Fine "follow your dreams" inspiration.

[@PrometheusV2]

What I wanna know is how he gets the magnets off his metal objects if they’re really that powerful

[@simple11q]

There must be tons of downsides as well! Tell us.

[@fireinateacup89]

I'd be terrified to find bodies or bones... I notice they didn't go into any detail about HOW he helps solve crimes... makes me wonder how gritty that could be. 😬 Awesome that he's doing it, though!

[@MicroMidas]

PROFESIONAL treasure hunter!? So that's what he does for a living? Really?

[@felipemiranda2788]

At first I was like "hey, this dude sounds like a surfer" and then.............hahaha nice hobby for flat days indeed.

[@pillarofdawn]

These treasure hunting channels are awesome. Not only do they provide endless entertainment, but they also do a public service by cleaning up our waterways

[@myblacksmile]

If you’d find Kim Kardashian’s diamond earring she lost… would be epic! If no one went looking for it yet.

[@KejriwalBhakt]

In India in Rishikesh, you'll find tons of kids diving into fast flowing river ganges for such "treasure"

[@bickybickford]

He should invest in a "Magswitch" brand magnet so he can turn off the magnetism

[@metaldetecting_nrw]

This guy needs a own show.I follow him now for 2 years and its always exciting to see him and his finds.🤙😃

[@magnetar_magnets]

top episode there is so much to find on the water bottom!

[@izzo2271]

An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak😮 maybe I should also be a treasure hunter!

[@thatweirdmoldycarrot4262]

Just know my dads expensive sunglasses are somewhere on the bottom of lake pond erray in idaho lol

[@annitajackson6479]

Nicky is truly your soul mate. I am awaiting my invitation to your wedding.

[@goldslimegames2688]

How many things do you think he’s lost

[@shirpom8577]

🤙👌😁❤️ Yes Nikki IS your best treasure!

[@GloriousGrunt]

[@answandelee5999]

[@whcdv8]

If only bikes were Iphones, he would be in heaven :)

[@harlanmorse3312]

has he ever caught a person with a diving tank on?

[@faithblack3851]

So what does he do with the bodies? ...or we not going to talk about it?

[@TheArtofAdventure]

This is fantastic. A great adventurer doing great adventures.

[@GaryHamad]

This Is Good, Cus he took Trash out of Coast and Rivers

[@xXFriagneXx]

[@cocobos]

[@willcookmakeup]

Why are there so many safes in the river......

[@JONATHANSTONKS]

[@MicroMidas]

8:10 Yeah, that seems "so much fun" indeed!

[@bernardoaguirreaguilera9182]

I thought this was luisito comunica xd

[@sm_Llama]
