    Despite de equipment failure it was a great hunt. Love how you appreciate finding quarters! Plus, your feedback will be invaluable to the makers of the shaft. Not a lost day by any means.

      I'm the person who makes those shafts now haha. They're made out of solid carbon fiber rather than the aluminum one that was used in this video

    I love that old silver ring! I wonder if that’s a topaz stone? Your silver bracelet definitely has sapphires in it. I’m so sorry the shaft broke on the first time out. I kind of figured that’s what the tragedy was going to be. Thank you for a great video
