You are the "Florida Man" the news should talk about

[@netamorton4832]

Shawn, to me this has been one of the most emotional video yet! First of all, you are the kindest person and thank God for your parents who raised you right! Your heart is so big for people and you are always blessed when you find there jewelry! The stories that people have in there real lives are very touching! I don’t know this one got me chocked up! Plus I love your t-shirt! Thanks again for all your hard work! We love your videos! And your friends are so nice too!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you so much!!! The stories and reactions are what keeps me going! This is the best hobby ever :)

[@carlamichael5491]

I love that you never curse or use coarse language, this is rare to see and makes me just relax and enjoy your videos. When you say, "freakin' pull tab" it makes me laugh every single time.

[@joanielorentz4979]

Yes I agree ❤😊 no cursing!

[@sirdigzalot2976]

@@joanielorentz4979 heaven forbid our poor ears would have to hear a word that offends us. 🤣

[@theBaron001]

it's still cursing, it's just using different words. But the context is exactly the same, and you know what he means. It makes me laugh to hear an adult say "freaking" as well, it's like a kid trying not to get in trouble, except in this case there's nothing to get in trouble about. If you want to swear, just swear. Substituting words is just silly, much like the people that struggle to say "vagina" or "penis" and feel the need to use made up words instead.

[@Mortuus87]

I wake up on a Saturday morning, and sit down with my coffee.....and next thing i know I'm smiling from ear to ear seeing the return of the ring to that sweet Lady and the Watch to that kind Gentleman! Thanks for brightening the start to my day!

[@joanielorentz4979]

I love that you don’t curse either. I don’t watch videos with bad language and yours is very clean and I really appreciate it. You must be a person of integrity, especially when you give back the items when people lose them and don’t take money for them. you’re a good person.

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you! :)

[@annmarks763]

I also appreciate that you keep your language clean. Great video!

[@keithjames9604]

Hi Shawn, I am Keith’s oldest son, and his grandsons Keith IV (K4) and Knox (10 and 5 yo’s) absolutely loved the video. As you can tell, my Dad Keith Jr. is an amazing, generous man and I’m so glad you helped him. All the best Karma to you and God bless your family. Sorry to hear about Grandma. I wish you the best and thank you for the awesome video. It was really, really well edited and exciting to watch. Keith III (K3)

What a spontaneous invite from Keith at the end..you could see his face light up suddenly like this great connection between two humans, that was so heart-warming. Two nice guys great job all around.

This one gave me goosebumps. If someone doesn’t believe in a higher power, they should watching your channel. You are divinely guided to the things people lose.

[@TheworldiseffdUP]

Any money that people want to give you just consider it a tip, grateful people want to reward good people like you.

I'll accept it if they insist, but I always feel guilty for accepting money for doing what I love

[@TheworldiseffdUP]

@@DetectFlorida Don't feel guilty, they appreciate what you did for them. I'm a big tipper myself as I appreciate when someone helps me or provides a service that I can't do. Metal detecting does look interesting and fun, wish I lived by water, I would do it too.

The returns were excellent and the people were truly, truly happy :) The world could definitely use more people like you!! You brighten the days of so many people!!

[@DetectFlorida]

Thank you!!! I was in complete shock when I pulled that ring out of the scoop! I thought it was one of those old ring-pull style pull tabs at first!

[@davetevens5080]

Another two wicked recoveries. So nice to see the joy on their faces when you give their lost items back. You truly are a gentleman Sean. 😊😊

Thanks Dave!!!

[@ninirossau2304]

it is not about money, it is about that priceless moment when you feel the relief and love from the people who you have helped. and the fact you can share the moment with the rest of us, the secondary light.

[@DetectFlorida]

It's like drugs but with only good side effects!! haha The feeling you get from doing this is indescribable!

[@desertdan]

It is so nice to see someone who doesn’t profit from someone else’s pain, you sir are a true gentleman.

[@sobeit2842]

well, yes, we all applaud well-to-do true gentlemen who use their hobby to help, with no expectation of reward, someone else who is often also quite well-off, recover often quite expensive jewelry lost oftentimes while on an expensive vacation that many of us could not afford. I think you'd be surprised how many folks do this "hobby" for much needed income. These folks are good enough at this activity, that it pays the rent. The detecting equipment in this video; the machine, and the scoop with handle, cost apprx. $2400 (w/tx). $2600 if the scoop is titanium. For a lot of people, this "hobby" has to pay for that equipment, and quickly, or they don't eat. If all service workers who cure disease, cap a tooth, or fix a leaky pipe, would have no need or desire to make money for the service they provide, how happy we all could be.

[@FL.AirBoater]

You’re a great guy for what you do, Enjoy your videos from central Fl.

Thank you!!!

[@DiggingTimesPast]

[@ellenhaben1217]

Your an angel!! There is nothing better than finding a treasured item, doesn't matter the value!!! I recently lost a treasured pendant of my passed away pup in a state park near a grassy knoll next to the parking lot. By the time I realized I lost it it was late in the day well after we had checked into the lodge cabin area. My family,with little grandkids piled into the car to retrace my steps from the beginning of the day. I wasn't hopeful; we had walked all over the state park grounds by that time.of the day. We couldn't find a parking space near the lodge and my husband decided to illegally park on the grass next to the lodge where we parked earlier that day; I chastised him for doing so this second time. As soon as I hopped out of the car I let out a scream of happiness; it was on the ground near my foot! Ill😂 never get madat my husband's decision to park wherever again!!!!!❤

[@DetectFlorida]

That's wonderful!!!!! I'm SO glad you were able to get it back!

[@idetectH2O]

I'm a 12 volt technician and I installed 2 USB housing ports on the rear of my center console facing the rear seats. Each one with both a type A and C ports. Anytime I'm done with my detector and headphones I simply just plug them in and never have to worry about low batteries. Great recoveries bro.

[@CLewis-ti4hn]

That watch stayed up longer than you think… if it was still running when you picked it the automatic movement eas operating due to the waves. Rolex only about 30 -50 hours of run time without moving. Great find!!

This is the first video I saw with you finding/detecting items!! To see you find the watch, contact the owner, THEN, have him donate to the brain tumor association, unbelievable! Why, because 36 years ago I lost my first wife at 31 years old to a brain tumor. I had 3 & 5 year old daughters when I lost her, and to see this video gave me a tear!!!

[@calvinh.8882]

That was awesome! You made the day/week/month of three amazing people. That lady, that very generous man, and You. As for being able to give those things back to people being payment enough, I very much get that. One day a lady lost her wedding ring in the sand and she was completely crushed, I didn't have a metal detector but I had bought my 6-year-old nephew basically a kid's toy detector that did detect metal, so even tho' it was a long shot and his toy detector was half the size as an adults, I went and got it, and about 20 minutes of playing around with it I found that ladies ring with it. And her being so happy and grateful was more payment than any amount of money. Keep on being awesome!

[@StevenMiller-cx4rr]

You’re just south of me, I grew up commercial fishing in Cortez. Seeing you on AMI is so strange. I was paralyzed in 2020 so I moved back to Ohio to attend Cleveland Clinic spine institute and it worked. I’m learning how to walk again. I was basically born with a scuba tank on my back, I had a Deus2 and now I regret selling it because I’m coming back. Seeing what you do for people- I don’t have the words to say how wonderful the gift you give to people is. I stumbled across your channel and have been binging for 3 days. Please don’t stop!
