We LOVE finding GOLD on the Beach 💍😱

Epic storms hit California and we love finding gold on the beach afterwards. This video was filmed on Friday 2/24/2023 a day before the largest storm to hit our coast in a long time. We detected early morning low tide right before the next storm came ashore. I used my new Olight Flashlight for the first time on the beach and it worked great, easily slid into my pocket after the sun came up.

With a cut like that, and all those storms, you'll be finding treasure for weeks !! As far as the would you dig it, I'm guessing some type of lead, like a sinker...

I would dig it to learn the new machine. In Maine with 3 feet of snow right now. Of all the coins I have air tested, US, Canadian, Aussie, none of them landed in the 50-55 range. I tested coins from the 1800s up to modern day....None hit those numbers. Cheers!

my wrist is healing but I really abused it during the storms. great answer, Thank you! 😎👍

[@714metaldetecting]

What an amazing day for you all Jim. That gold ring is beautiful. Congrats. Was wondering your thought on detecting etiquette, When there are 16 detectorists like you counted down there, What is your MO for detecting with so many detectorists ? Do you crisscross other detectorists or do you chose an area to stay in or what? Your thoughts ?

[@funwithjim]

Yes, we all hunt differently. Several move up and down the beach, others zig zag aimlessly however etiquette is if some one is gridding and specific area just leave them alone and move around them saying Hi! I hunt for patches then dig that area out. FYI that 16 detectorist day was the Sunday after that huge storm today's video was Friday just before the huge storm and just after a modest rain with gale winds. Thank You 👍

Awesome diamond ring. I would totally dig that silver dime.

Hi Jim,what are you liking on the 900,like you I have had the 800 for many years an have a gold ring count of 250+ Is it worth going to the 900,thanks mike.keep up the great videos.

[@funwithjim]

If you love the 800 keep using it as it is still my favorite machine, The 900 is just a new toy for me right now, but I am liking it a lot and realize I need more time with it before I comment. The 900 really likes deep iron causing me to chase bad targets thinking they are good high tones but the range on low tones is awesome. Thank You 👍

[@tommychew6544]

I really like your videos! Makes me wish I would have had a metal detector back in the mid to late 80's when I was stationed on Pendleton. Of course, I was young, and it might have been too slow for me back then.

[@funwithjim]

The 80's was a difficult time to detect as the technology did not make it easy, my first water machine used vibration and clicking noises. I wish I had my Nox in the 80's. Thank You 👍

[@tommychew6544]

@@funwithjim I remember renting a Garret back in about 83 or 84, in my home state of Missouri that used like 8 to 12 d-cell batteries! That sucker was heavy but man it was fun to use. Bought a Garret AT MAX a few years ago and now that I'm retired, I'm looking forward to getting to search with it. Those beach cuts just look like something I would love to search with it, though I'm back in Missouri now.

[@franknash7878]

Jim, I got a question. What do you prefer, singe frequency or muli frequency machines. I am assuming you have experience with both. Thanks for the content. Currently still rocking a White spectrum xlt single 6.54 frequency.

[@funwithjim]

For the Beach I like Multi Frequency machines. My custom made machine from 1984 would run around 5khz and around 15khz but not simultaneously. I would hunt in 5khz for quarters (arcade money back then) and adjust it to 15khz when I hunted for gold. I found 15khz was perfect for most all of my detecting, however those machines were a constant struggle to tune and balance. Thank You 👍

I will have 3 to 4 days to hunt beaches in that area. Huntington Beach one of those days. Do you have any recommendations for finding a good spot while I'm there?

[@funwithjim]

You can never go wrong at Huntington but, Laguna Main is nice, San Clamente State Beach Calafia area is great for old silver coins at just about any conditions. I hope that Helps, FYI in San Diego county I like Moonlight State Beach is can get rocky though. Thank You 👍
