Haha! I guess so! The woman in the Taco Bell drive thru recognized me from here the other day. Had to give her a couple stickers!! lol

You've started a metal detecting movement.

I was there that day too, further down near Cresent. My wife counted 14 people detecting that morning.

It was crazy how many people were out there!

That was cool to see you you with a bunch of friends… looked like a fun day.

Thank you for another great day in the Gulf!!

Always look forward to your videos! I live nowhere near a beach, and it was fun to see your Scotland videos. It seems like dirt detecting is different from lakes or streams, is different from beach. Lots to learn.

Thank you! Dirt fishing is very different. I love it, but it's not very lucrative in South Florida. Everything nearby is very new. Old land is getting harder and harder to find :(

I hunted that beach almost everyday back when, their was Les, mark, and Buddy we use to hunt it alot. HH

Sweet nice finds!

Good job! You know, I understand how people can lose jewelry, sunglasses, even fishing lures/weights, but I just don't understand the spoon out so far! lol

Loving this video Shawn! Cool to see what everybody finds! Darn those pull tabs!

Brilliant job u legend

Shawn another cool vídeo.. keep it up.

I love it when the shell shows up I know I am going to find gold 😊😊

Dang dood I was running an XP deus 2 and was getting a little bit not much and my son in law was using an old junk bounty Hunter 79 dollar you know. Which one little junk thing and he was killing it I mean nine gold rings three necklaces two giant bracelets with diamonds and one huge platinum bracelet that easily went over four ounces.

yup vlf is not a bad choice. i have the equinox 700 ( no gold mode). and my gold monster 1000 ,minelab channel says gm 1000 in better the gold mode on the equinox. be out the 24th. swing the gold monster. have a good day.

Good job on your vid's. I had to comment because that same guy came up to us at that same beach a couple of weeks ago!

I used to use a Whites pulse in the 90s and early 2000s - I use a Fisher cz21 now - I dig everything and hunt in all metal Ive found over 1000 pieces of gold Continued good luck 👍

Have you thought about using one of those bucket rakes? Just combing the beach instead of using the metal detector?

@DetectFlorida

The beach gets raked almost every morning. I'd rather find the deep gold!

Good hunt. Man I wish our ocean was that flat. I couldn't tell you how many rings are in waist deep water. What spot did you pick for lunch??? Love the scallops at the Dockside in Venice !!!!

Nice hunt! And you're right, lifelong White's Surf PI user (they sure do get insane depth) in the saltwater here. For freshwater I'll use either my White's MX Sport or Equinox 800 and for land either my CTX3030 or E-Trac... but with the Pulse machine, if you use it enough, you get pretty good at "sizing up" a target. I'd love to know what camera setup you're using to get such clear sound. Thanks!

CASPER METAL DETECTING here...big fan why dont you get or make a floating sifter so you dont have to struggle in high shell areas? would save you a lot of time - especially if you can get or make a non metal one

@DetectFlorida

10 ай бұрын

The problem is that the current gets strong, and that can be a hazard if its attached to me. Floating sifters are much better suited for river hunters where it stays pretty calm

Where are you that the water or sand smells so bad? I’m in Texas with no desire to metal detect, but I’m surprised at your comments about the water stench. Oh, and the riptide is visibly apparent.

In FL, do you have to get a permit to search in the water? Thx.

@DetectFlorida

It depends on where you're hunting. There's areas on the east coast where you must have a lease to search the water. State and national parks are off limits unless you have special permission

@DetectFlorida ok thanks! I'm on the ringfinders and I get some people from the local MD shop but I'm trying to get the word out because a lot of times people don't know about us and it takes a while for them to contact me which decreases the chances of finding their stuff
