[@AngieHayFamilyAdventures]

Love the horseshoe

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. It was a great find for me! Congrats on your win tonight.

[@TheRealSultanOfSwing]

Your enthusiasm is refreshing.

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Good evening. Thank you. I enjoy this more than I ever could have imagined. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[@AuDive0]

What a beautiful place to live. Great video and hunt. Super enjoyed it Thanks. 👍💯🪂😃

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. It was a great day! I enjoyed it so much and found a few interesting things. It's very easy to get hooked on this hobby, isn't it?

[@talcadetector4018]

Hola amigo, te felicito por tu video, muy interesante aventura, ya suscrito a tu canal, te envío un gran saludo y un gran abrazo desde chile 🙋‍♂️🇨🇱🙏⚔️⛏️🗡️💍👏🤜🤛🇺🇸

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you so much for visiting my channel and your comment. I am a complete beginner. I just bought my first metal detector (the X-Terra Pro_ a few weeks ago. I love metal detecting so much! I look forward to watching more of your videos and adventures. Thank you again.

[@PAPAROUSwhatsinthedirt]

Great finds Mermaid that is an old sword piece handguard!!!

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. How cool! I feel like a moron for not recognizing what it was -- it never occurred to me I could find something like that. I am thrilled! It is definitely my top find, so far. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Really cool dagger fun hunt

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Greetings. Thank you. I am delighted to have found it. A few commentators have stated it could even be Spanish. I look forward to exploring more of the river in the future.

[@martinjervis1558]

Cool hunt Anna, love the dagger and horse shoo and you got coins to well done good hunt today 😃

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thanks so much! It was a great day. It's about a 30-minute hike from my house and very pleasant. I might go back after New Year's as tourists will have had some time to lose some more stuff. 😄

[@martinjervis1558]

@ I take it it’s fresh water as you were able to search in field and 15 kHz with out any chatter

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@martinjervis1558 Yes. It was the little swimming hole by the small waterfall. I was in the river the whole time about 2 miles upriver from the beach.

[@martinjervis1558]

@ hopefully there’s some jewellery there to 🤩

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@martinjervis1558 I can't wait to find jewelry! I haven't found that or any fishing weights, despite being surrounded by fisherman. All in good time, I suppose.

[@dan.nic.metaldetector]

Ciao, altro ottimo video, ora di devi abituare a trovare tantissimi tappi di bottiglia e strappi delle bibite, hanno lo stesso suono delle monete se non arrugginite 👍 buona caccia

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Good morning, Dan. I've gotten very good at finding bottle caps! 😂 It is all a part of a fun day out. The Mexican $10 coin and a bottle cap have almost identical tones and number, so if I want the money, I have to dig the trash. Thank you for commenting. Have a great day!

[@RobertKabeiseman]

Nice find in the dagger, cool history behind it👍 Think I’m going out on a hunt on Christmas Eve for a bit, day hunt, a ring or two would be great 😎🎄😎 Best Wishes for The Holidays👍🎄👍

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thanks Bob. I'm thrilled about it! Have a wonderful Christmas Eve hunt! I look forward to hearing what you found. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, as well.

[@dcmdetects]

Great haul! Digging pull tabs sucks but there's always that chance...For me, it's in the nickel range. the horseshoe is a very cool find. There are actually some pretty cool iron relics out there although a lot of people skip iron. I have found axe heads, a horse buggy step and a few other things. I still do not have a horseshoe yet, great find! You can bring that horseshoe back to life with electrolysis, that's what I do with a lot of my iron. It's easy to get hooked on this hobby. Good luck on your next hunt.

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. I'm so hooked! That's cool about the tip to restore the iron. I was delighted to find the horse shoe. There's something that just feels good about them. A horse buggy step would be a fantastic find! I appreciate you commenting. Have a good one.

[@AngieHayFamilyAdventures]

Great dig

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you for commenting, Angie. I appreciate it. Each dig, I get a little better at it. This was a really fun one.

[@TheMedicalDetectorist]

Nice hunt and video! Looks like a cool place to detect. HH, Sam

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. There's surely a lot more to discover. I enjoyed it so much. It's a 30-minute hike from my house, so it's easy to get to.

[@martinstreasurehunting]

hey Mermaid

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Hi Martin. Thanks for commenting. You all are very funny!

[@martinstreasurehunting]

@MetalDetectingMermaid just a couple old farts with nothing better to do..😆

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@martinstreasurehunting Haha! There are far worse ways to pass your time! Thank you for the welcome.

[@DigginLouisiana]

Park mode is for shallow targets. Field is more for relic hunting. It targets much deeper. That brass item you found. You should consult a museum. That looks like a hand guard for a very old sword. Might be worth some bucks !! $$$

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Oh, thank you so much! I've never been able to find an explanation of the difference. That's great to know.

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Nice hunt! So neat to find a horseshoe! I wonder if it's from a horse or burro.

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. It was a great find! My guess is it's from a horse. The burros here have tiny hooves.

[@hoborobprospecting]

1st! Great finds!

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you, Rob. It was definitely my most interesting hunt, thus far. This is an addictive hobby. 🥰

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

What a Beautiful place. Why to keep going on a target.. That Dagger looks really old not cause of the rust. Awesome Little Video.. Peace

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. I feel a bit like an idiot for not recognizing it when I pulled it out. Metal detecting is so new to me, it never occurred to me that I could find something like that. I'm thrilled. I appreciate your feedback. Another commenter thought it might be Spanish. That would be very cool! It has definitely invigorated me to persevere and believe the machine.

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

@@MetalDetectingMermaid The more you swing and the more it beeps you will learn how and what it is telling you. Keep having fun and enjoy the time just getting out finding things.

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@ohdannyboyjustadiggin Thank you. I enjoy more than I ever could have imagined. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@beachhuntersouthafrica]

Nice hunt... that item with the brass looks like an old knife that's rusted away

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. It does. Once it was pointed out to me, if was very obvious, and I felt like an idiot for not seeing it immediately. It never occurred to me I could find something like that. I'm delighted. Thank you for the comment.

[@beachhuntersouthafrica]

@MetalDetectingMermaid it takes time to easily notice items ... you will get better at it the longer you detect

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@beachhuntersouthafrica Thank you. I watched Buckle Boy's Premier last night and was amazed at his depth of knowledge and ability to identify the smallest and most obscure pieces. I'm sure that, like any skill, it just takes time, experience, and an interest to learn. I'm hooked!

[@MarktheSenileDetectorist]

Sweet finds, keep digging you will be finding gold and Silver before you know it

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback and encouragement. I definitely plant o keep digging. It's a most addictive hobby! Have a great weekend.

[@DigginLouisiana]

One day when I can afford it Id love to go visit and we could team up for a metal detecting adventure. Your machine is completely water proof up to 16 feet you can shorten the wand and go snorkeling in those swimming holes.

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

I'd love that! I'm fairly near Puerto Vallarta. That's one reason I chose the X-Terra Pro. I don't dive much anymore, but I snorkel a lot and would love to buy a tankless dive system for shallow hunts.

[@DigginLouisiana]

Shallow snorkeling would be a great adventure ! Id so love to do that

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@DigginLouisiana I have a tourism business and have a boat group today. Now that I've invested in an action camera to start this channel. I'm hoping to get some underwater footage of a snorkel spot today. It's very popular spot, and I'm sure there are amazing finds in the rocks and sand.

[@DigginLouisiana]

@@MetalDetectingMermaid Fantastic ! Bed sure to check you connections on the detector for under water use and rinse well when done ! Have fun and good luck !

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@DigginLouisiana Thank you for the tips. I appreciate it.

[@fullhalf420]

beach on sand..all metal is good but you will get the 1-10 pesos..and that brass is a Spanish sword or knife dear..but Spanish I'm thinking 🤔

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Thank you for commenting. I'm happy to get the pesos. Small bills and change where I live is golden! Yes -- I feel a bit moronic for not recognizing it as a knife immediately. At the end of the video, I explain how I asked the guys about it. If it's Spanish, that would be amazing! It was very deep, and I dug a long time for it.

[@johnurso5184]

Is that somewhere near the bay of Banderas. I feel like ive been there before. Those waterfalls

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

Yes! Wow -- that's amazing. This is the waterfall in Quimixto.

[@johnurso5184]

@MetalDetectingMermaid yes, I've been to punta de mita a few times and we ventured over to the other side of the bay and went to those falls with a tour about 6-7 years ago. I remember that little restaurant.

[@MetalDetectingMermaid]

@@johnurso5184 That is so interesting! I hope you had a wonderful trip when you came. I love the area. The structure in the video (the large terrazzo) has survived the hurricanes, but the restaurant building that was on the primary side of the river was destroyed two years ago, and the bridge between the two has to be rebuilt every year. Now where the main restaurant was is a lot more rustico so, if they get wiped out again, it isn't so costly to them in losses or rebuilding. Thank you for commenting. No one knows about this little pueblo; I love that you've been here! Happy hunting.
