My daddy tweeted his metal detector to sound a different pitch with aluminum/poptabs, etc. He would hear the beep, find the treasure and we kids would cover up the holes. LOL. He was a real treasure finder. This was back in the 60’s/70’s.

I think I found my new retirement gig. Time to move down to Fort Meyers.

I'm so happy to see you collect the litter.thank you🧡⭐

I often look in this area where people hang out... "hopefully losing stuff during the day" 😂 If I ever need a smile, your channel will bring it to me. I'm so glad I found you today and subscribed.

I lived in Fort Myers for 5 years and only went to the beach once for about 2 hours. I'm not a beach person. I'd rather walk the beach at night. I moved back to New England bc Florida just wasn't for me, but I'm very interested in metal detecting, always was. Maybe I'll take it up as a hobby in my retirement.

the 10K ring looks like an intaglio ring. looks like a great day for all of you!

The 10k ring, we know as a Trojan Ring. Very popular as signet rings in the 80's and 90's in the UK.

Thanks for the video, so nice to see someone enjoying the beach while I'm here in PA freezing my butt off. Love the rings!

Awesome rings, first hole! When that lady was standing beside you and you blurted out "beavertail" I thought oh oh I hope she knows metal detecting lingo! I got a great laugh this morning thank you.

My husband lost his diamond and gold ring on the beach one month into the marriage. I kind of feel sad thinking someone must have found and sold it already. We couldn't afford to get him another one because they are so expensive. It's been 7 years.

Congrats on finding the ring and the pendant!! I get a strong sense of satisfaction just watching you sift the sand out of your scoop---glad when you find more than a 'freaking pull tab!' Good job!

Looks like a pretty place to safari a detecting trip. Gold Baby!

Great find Shawn! You all always have such a great time together and that’s awesome!❤️

The cool thing about this guy, if you lost something recently, you can contact him, he will try his best to help! He’s a good human! Also, he doesn’t want any money! Again, he’s a good human!

I love that you put close-ups on the screen.

Hey, we love watching your hunts. I think the beautiful split diamond ring might have been a wedding band. When my friend’s husband passed away, she had his band cut and shaped just like the one you found.

That’s a cool older ring called an intaglio style, meaning carved in rather than cameo style which is raised.

You sound exactly like Jordan the lion. WOW WOW

You should powder coat your scooper black so that jewelry, shiny things show up better.

@DetectFlorida

The only issue is that sand is sooooo abrasive. A company currently makes powder coated scoops, and the powder coat lasts about 2 hours

The sensitivity of the factory beach programs is way too high. I set it back to around 80, and change the ground balance to tracking. It will really help stabilize the machine in salt water
