Thanks for the lovely morning on the beach 🏖️!!!
Stay safe 🌹😇
Thank you Philip
Great finds. Missed Christine today. Thanks for another cool video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you. We are planning a one day hunt which I will get out on Wednesday. She has been itching to detect.
Another great adventure with you.. Nice finds...😎🤗😃😁😀😉
Thank you very much
Fun dig. Years ago I used to video metal detecting shows. I used a chest mount. Worked great when shooting with one person. Good to see the Minelab. Best metal detector I ever owned.... Keep up the wonderful work.
Thanks. Yeah, I have one. My only issue is when I watch other videos of detecting with a chest mount, it seems I am always looking down and often times, they are off a bit and you can't see what they are doing. My method has worked so far. I have been putting it on a tripod more often and I like that because it is more steady. It just slows me down setting it up.
Hey nice hunt variety of finds enjoyed the video see you on the next one. 🇺🇸
Thanks Fred....
Great hunt, B. You rocked it with the clad and bling. That is a lot of sand scooping. Keep Digging!
Thanks... was a nice morning. Was pretty close to some very expensive homes so I even used my headset. Lots of time to reflect.
Boy, that's a TON of digging for one person. Great job!!!
It is... and juggling the camera too.... always a challenge but it was nice getting some quiet time...
Go Pro with a chest or head mount…might simplify your life when you need to go it alone.
Keep on digging!👍❤
Thanks Helen
That was a lot of targets. Great hunt👍😎
Thanks Ray. So many weights again which is normal for the first location.
Lots of clad and some cool jewelry! That looks like such a peaceful place to detect!💖
It was a very nice morning. Chatted it up with a few kayak fishermen.
Looks like you had a great hunt their Bill. Great finds. Thanks for sharing. Happy hunting
I did....thanks
Always a beautiful video
Thank you
Nice little hunt keep going bill ! 👍🤙🏴☠️
Thanks Jay. I did miss my sidekick
Nice hunt. Congrats on all the clad & cool jewelry pieces.
How neat! I found an identical feather a couple days ago while detecting the fair grounds. Went out yesterday with the wife for a picnic at the lake and dug 93 cents out of a camp site. 😎HAPPY DETECTING! 🤗
Very cool Bruce. I should not be surprised but it is amazing how many pennies are in the ground. Happy hunting!!!
Enjoying your videos
Thank you
Great episode :)
Thank you
Very nice hunt 👍👍👍👍👌
Thank you
Great solo hunt. The ctr ring is a religious ring and it means "Choose the Right". Keep up the beep, good luck and happy hunting!
Thank you very much Jason. Much appreciated
Cute little butterfly 🦋 Bill
Nice video! Congratulations!
Thank you
I love when I see you dig something I've dug on the beach before Doug 2 those butterflies and three of those feathers
Thanks.... yeah, it is always a surprise but I really like that feather.
I am also in SoCal around the same area,and have a minelab 800,and a garrett gti 1500..I love them both! Garrett for parks and dry areas,and the m800 for everything! I have found some great stuff bud! Maybe we will meet up someday and have a duo hunt! Awesome video buddy,great finds! Good luck brotha!!
I really love my NOX... need to work more with my APEX... Thanks and yes, maybe we will have to hunt together some time!!!
Hey Bill great video….👍🏼
Thank you!!!
So cool of a little Hunt.. Killed it on clad.. the feather is really cool. I dug one that looks like that one not too long ago.. A spoon yesterdays dig.. But Boy that change adds Up and you knocked it out of the sands... Happy Hunting ..
Thanks. Yeah, I am going to have to see how much coin I have collected this year. I already turned in about $140 and I probably have a couple hundred more dollars worth. Pays for some of the gas on these trips.
@@DigginSoCal I hear you there.. I myself have been lacking on the clad.. But I got some out and then The Payout for Rings and thing recoveries Help me out the most this yr..
great finds
Thanks for taking us along on your dig, and quite alot sinkers you found, as well as the mixed finds, not forgetting the tent stakes 👑 catch you on the next hunt 🎧👍👊
Thank you... I am getting quite a lot of sinkers thats for sure
You did not have to weight long for finds lol. plenty of coins and a nice mix of jewellery. As always enjoyed that my friend
Thanks Nathaniel
Nice hunt. With all those fishing weights going into your fishing box your going to get a real workout picking up the box...
Thanks...yeah, they cleaned up nicely. I haven't fished much this year but I will def reuse some of them....
It's crazy how much you find! The beaches where I fish have a lot of people doing the same (Brighton & Shoreham)
Yes, I am always amazed about what is in the sand/dirt. Crazy... However, there are times I go findless for long times.
very nice!! always a good day when you have fun what you love to do!! I for one can find trash all day, dont care love this hobby, as well as the people I meet! big fan love your videos!!
Thanks. It is an enjoyable hobby... as for fishing, when I go, I can fish for hours. I like shore fishing but haven't brought my pole in a while. It is always a tough choice. If I brought it, would I detect?
Great hunt. Good to see someone else struggle with the reality of recording detecting alone. The struggle is real! That place looked nice and quiet! I too enjoy the "alone time". What's funny if you think of nothing else but the hunt too, at least I don't.
Yeah, I def get time to think when alone. But yes, it can be a struggle. If your not rushing it...then the camera work is no biggie.
A nice tranquil hunt you had, and a reasonable haul of change too :) speaking of change how many pennies were in that pile from your upload a couple of weeks ago, also did anyone else say and a half lol, always enjoy watching yourself and Christine on the beaches as i am land locked in central u,k,
Thanks for sharing and all the best of luck for future adventures :)
You were the only one that mentioned the half. When I saw that, I was thinking about how sharp you were.... I posted the results in my comment on that video. Three people got the correct total in the actual pile which was 176
@@DigginSoCal Ok cool thanks for letting me know as wasn't aware that you had commented the total, but still 176 was a lot of pennies + a half lol well done again :)
@@ShadesofGrAy-at-50 Too many....lol
Привет✋👋!!! Сегодня без Кристин, отличная работа, Супер👍👍👍
Thank you...yes, solo. But, she will be back with me on the next one!!!
Nice hunt lots of coinage!!!
Thank you
For my B'day, I gifted myself with 7 hours of metal detecting at my goto SoCal beach today 😊
In spite of customizing my AT Pro years ago, I probably won't be able to climb stairs or lift my arms for the next few days - but it sure was fun 😁
So, what I've noticed about playgrounds throughout LA, and even at the beach > no more (or rarely any) sand, but padded floors instead. I guess, city kids getting dirty amd sandy while playing is too maintenance-intense 😄
Well, I sure hope you did not over do it too much...yeah, more and more are getting a facelift.
@@DigginSoCal I'm feeling better than expected, thank you. I avoided sore muscles by immediately applying BioFreeze gel 🙏🏼
It turned out to be more of a beach clean-up than a treasure hunt, but the real treasure could still be hidden behind a locker door to which I found a key. Question is, where's the locker located? 🤔
@@4seasonspix Well good luck with the locker hunt. lol Glad you were not too bad off. Happy hunting
👍💪
Another awesome video. I'll be in your neck of the woods for a few days next month. Maybe I'll run into you.
Very cool. We are usually around!
@@DigginSoCal Hope I run into you (well, not literally, that could hurt if we ran into each other). If so, cupcakes are on me (again, not literally) :)
@@pryan67 Haha... you never know!!!
How pretty a flower 🌸 earring
Thanks! Missing Christine. You did good though.
Thanks. I know, she works so much... regular hours plus overtime. We are doing a one day park hunt and with any luck we should have a video up Wednesday as a team hunt.
@@DigginSoCal thanks! Good for her to work hard now so she can play later in life!
That was a nice little hunt! Look very peaceful, my favorite kind! I think you covered this already but my memory doesn't serve me as well as it used to! What do tumble your finds with?
Stay safe and keep swinging!
I am using a Lortone tumbler... here is a link. ua-cam.com/video/CyKpl4xDwsY/v-deo.html
@@DigginSoCal my bad, I was wondering what you are using for media? Dish soap, laundry detergent, etc.
@@raymondhill3446 Aw...I add dish soap along with the BB's
2 LB 1/8" Tumbling Media Ball Shot Tumbler Finishing - 304 Stainless Steel
Your videos with the cupcake girl are more entertaining. I usually fast forward to the end otherwise just to see what stuff you found.
Yeah...I agree. I do like some time to myself but as far as entertaining...she makes it fun for sure. I do appreciate the watching and comment even when I am all alone. Cheers
Another great video, thank you. You mentioned that you “tumbled” the jewelry, are you using a tumbler that is used for cleaning brass casings or something else?
Thank you. I am using a Lortone tumbler which I originally bought to tumble rocks. It works good. Here is a link to the one I use...

CTR is a Mormon ring given to Sunday school kids. Means choose the right.
Thanks for the info....cheers
That is a bigger feather 🪶 than Christine found in a future video.
is that the CKG sand scoop you are using? If so what do you think of it? Is it good for wet sand as well?
Yes, I was. I really like it. I have the CKG and the Xtreme. CKG is lighter and easier to carry around. Both are designed for wet/dry sand and do a fantastic job. CKG is cheaper but the Xtreme is way more solid including the fatter handle.
That was an awesome haul for one hunt. Do you keep the lead you find? 🤙
Thank you. Yes, someone advised in the past that I should keep it. I tumble it and save it. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet.
@@DigginSoCal two options that we’re considering are sell it for scrap value or sell it to a fish and tackle shop. 🤙
@@DetectingTheShore Thanks. Yeah, I am waiting to see how much I have of the lead among other things by years end. Cheers
What do you use for tumbling media?
I have had a lot of suggestions but am currently using this... 2 LB 1/8" Tumbling Media Ball Shot Tumbler Finishing - 304 Stainless Steel
I got it on Amazon
Watching the new video now I’ve found a CTR sterling ring before it stands for choose the right it’s a Mormon thing
Do the right thing my brother has found several of theme also always in children’s sizes.
Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
I see cupcake money!!!!
Yeah don't remind me...gotta feed the beast...lol
@@DigginSoCal lol, that was funny!
Curious about your scoop. Is the shaft handle designed to be so low on the shaft or is that a personal preference?
They actually put it down there. I am actually thinking about taking it off. Seems it should be adjustable but the attachment is welded on.
@@DigginSoCal Strange. I agree, it should be adjustable. Take it off and get a Motus Handle if you need one.
@@williampaxton871 Yup...Rarely use the handle anyway.
Four or five hours with all my injuries I can last about three I think I've done six once but I don't have days like that too often
I am in a similar way... back gets pretty wiped. I took a nice break between spots and chatted up a few people...
Is that the place Chris found her ring??
Yes... one in the same. Good eye!!!

CTR Choose the Right LDS
You should invest in one of those GoPros
I was actually filming with a GoPro. Using the 8. Others have suggested I use the chest mount but I am not a fan of it. May still give it a try.
I'm surprised that you don't use chest-mounted go-pro or something like that.
I know. I really don't like them. I have one and may try it one day. I have been putting the camera on a tripod a few times and I do like that. another good reason to bring Christine. It works best with the duo...
@@DigginSoCal Yes, I think that's one of the things that makes your channel different and special is the personalized camera but it might be so much easier if you're by yourself. I can't say much about cameras since I bought one a year ago and never used it. :-)
That’s a lot change. I hope you have better luck getting gold next time. Christine needs cupcake 🧁 money. Do you want to sell the feather pendant?
Thank you very much. I don't sell my finds. It was my favorite find....but you are the first to ask so send me an email at bill@digginsocal.com and give me your mailing address and it is yours.
@@DigginSoCal that’s ok. I understand if that was your favorite and you would like to keep it. I was just wear it on a silver chain I have without a pendant. I didn’t know you don’t sell your finds and if you did I’d like to purchase it
@@superbee-di5tp Like I said, send me your info and it is yours. I really meant that I would rather give them away than sell them. It is yours!!!
CTR Mormon ring Choose The Right
Interesting...thanks for the info.
your arms gotta be tired from all that digging. Congrats.
I did over do it this time. Be the end, I was spent. Thanks
CTR stands for CHOOSE THE RIGHT. Google choose the right ring. It is associated with the church of latter- day saints.
Thanks Steve. Apparently they are popular even though this is the first time I have seen one.

Thank you so much for your support. The translation is not real clear. Are you asking for me to mention you in the actual video?
@@DigginSoCal да
@@user-ms2rw5xr2l Cool...how would I say your name in English and where are you from?

Your coil is backwards
Did I do it again. I keep switching back and forth with the 6 inch. I really need to pay more attention....lol To my defense, it was pitch black when I got to the beach
CTR: Cute Tall and Pretty? Probably not 😊
You need to research how to pinpoint, cuz you're definitely not doing it right. I can see by the way you're doing it. you should be doing a x over the target. Good luck
