- Опубліковано 13 бер 2016
- This is a metal detecting hunt that I did at Crystal Beach, FL. It's located just south of Tarpon Springs FL which is north west of Tampa FL. There was a large amount of glass the first time I hunted this beach so if you ever go there, wear shoes!
Squeaker my metal detector is a Fisher Labs F19 (Thank you Russ @ First Texas Products!)
Rex my scoop is a 8 inch T-Rex scoop.
I also have a Raptor Handle (from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors; Thanks Ron!) golddiggermetaldetectors.com/
My pin pointer is the Land or Sea (also from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors; Thanks Ron!) golddiggermetaldetectors.com/
Seeker is my Garrett Pin Pointer AT
My digger pouch is the Digger Pouch (also from The Gold Digger Metal Detectors; Thanks Ron!) golddiggermetaldetectors.com/
My camera while hunting is the GoPro Hero 4 Silver

Thanks for watching!
I like to watch your videos because you are just starting Off like me I started in September last year.
+unknowned sensation Well I'm glad you like my videos! Thank you for watching!
Really enjoying this video! Glad you're showing the hunt and keeping it long!!!
+john harvey I knew it and I dug it anyways!!!??? That's ok to pass up pull tabs after you've dug 25Plus on land at each hunt but dig ALL on the beaches!...or forget rings! ;)
+john harvey .. Starting out when need be....discriminate out iron..it won't hurt to much till you get a bit better!
Hang in there SD, You will find that diamond in the rough before its over. Your making great progress, I can see the improvements with each video. Thanks for what you do. looking forward to the next video.
+bobby keller Yea, it's out there, waiting for me to swing over it! Thank you for watching!
Keep it up..... Do not give up.....
You are doing great She, your videos are always enjoyable an its really nice to learn with you. I'm sure you can get a bit discouraged, however, if treasures were a dime a dozen there wouldn't be much fun in seeking them.
+David Piersall Well thank you! That's true. I suppose if detecting were easy or lucrative, everyone would be doing it! Hahaha.
That was a good one, extended version too so nice bonus for us. You are really getting good at predicting what it will be. Around here we call them "hitch pins" and use them on hay wagons and all sorts of farm machinery, well we did back when I worked for farmers in my teens. My detector did something similar Saturday, if I swung fast it beeped but slow I got no sound, so I tried the pinpoint feature which did work perfectly to show me where to dig, then GD found it with the Carrot. I forget exactly what it was, some small random piece of crap.
+oh just quit it Thank you! Ah, hitch pins, very fitting! Lol!
I just found my first ring today because of you! You inspired me to dig everythng, and i dug a 14k white gold weddin band. It rang up in the iron foil region on the garrett ace 250. THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME VIDS!
+Andy Loop That's fantastic!! Congrats! I'm super jealous. :) Oh wow, that's great that you didn't leave it! Thank you for watching. :)
I enjoy your videos and am hoping with every scoop you find treasure!
+Bruce “Doc” Webb Thank you! And thank you for watching them. I'm hoping for treasure too! Hahaha.
+She Detector thanks tho I'll be in touch when I get out and let you now what I find x
Iam a newbie but one thing for certain you are pure gold for the profession..You know how to share and communicate..You would make a great mentor .Iam one as an Olympic Archery Coach..Keep up the good work .I'll report back to you this summer when I STR.......
+Robert Peck Hahaha, well thank you!! Wow, that's pretty cool that you get to train/coach Olympians! Very cool. Thanks! Good luck to you and welcome to the hobby!
🙋 Shedetector, it's always a pleasure watching your videos. I see you are able to make a few right guesses before you dig. Good for you, and it gets better. It seems I have the same problem as you in finding good items. I'm thinking our areas are being hit much more than we thought they are. But I guess as long as we're digging pull tabs, we have that chance of getting the gold. 🙌. Good luck on the next hunt.
+GameofTones Thank you! Yea, I'm getting a little better at target ids. Yea, I think so too. I'm hoping Crystal Beach is still viable just maybe I need to go further out. I'll try it one or two more times before bailing. At least I'm finding some coins so it's not completely barren. That's true, there were lots of tabs for sure so maybe there's gold there also. Thanks!
Hello She Detector I've been detecting for about 7 months I had a bad work injury and now I'm limited on what I can do
I bought a Garrett AT Gold and still trying to get the hang of it also but I Ln joy watching you and your adventure on the beaches and park thanks for the videos and a great find at the beach
+David Harrison Well thanks for watching! Have fun learning the AT Gold, I hear it's a good machine.
another great video, She. hang in there. You're finding the stuff associated with the good targets. Just gotta dig em all, until you learn em all. I'm finding that out with my new machine as well. HH and GL
+nthemuseurodenon Thank you!
Thanx 4 gear Info. an takin us . Much luk health n hunts
+Tracy James Tavares You're very welcome. Thanks for watching. :)
It took me a year before I found my first silver coin, so your time is coming. Here in Colorado when I am around a mining town I look for shell casings that have been smashed on the end because old miners would sometimes put their gold dust in the casing and smash it shut. They made for good containers. Have a great week.
+RhandyN1 That's good to know. :) Wow really? I didn't know that. I hop that isn't the case with that round I found... :{
+RhandyN1 ... I seen one of those casings found with gold in it on a prospecting video..cool!
Just moved to Florida myself, from relic rich massachusetts to beach perfection in florida...have the at pro but now it's going to be ctx3030 or atx...nice to have the choice....it's all learning whatever the machine, love the gulf as it's light salt and doesn't drive te machines crazy like that Atlantic seems to.
+BusyBeeCompany Oh very nice! You'll enjoy the weather. No snow! :D Oh that's a nice machine for sure, I've seen lots of videos on it. I've never hunted the Atlantic, good to know it's different though. Thanks for watching and welcome to Florida!
You got out to detect. You will find a great find one of these very close days. God Bless
+jjackdaddy56 Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Hang in there SD, you are doing fine and really learning your tones. We are going to be with you when you find that Gold/Silver ring. Thanks for sharing.
+Mark Rehs Thanks! And thanks for watching!
The good finds will come with patience,persistence, and perseverance. Most everyone goes through a period of "paying your dues" before they come along. Hang in there and keep swinging. Kept digging those bottle caps and pull tags and one day one of those signals will be a nice gold ring.
You are correct about that. You have to dig a whole bunch of junk first before digging the goods. :) But it's fun the whole time so that's what matters. Thanks!
I use a plastic sandwich bag to cover the box on my detector. I slit one side so it will go around the shaft in front of the box and use tape under the box on the bag to hold every thing close. Easy to remove and change out when needed. This is not waterproof, but will keep water drops from getting on the box.
+cactus rat Yea, I'll do that next time I take the F19 near water. Especially salt water, not good!
Hello Again! Another nice video! A tip for ya on those mid 80's signals that sound good, but end up as bottle caps. If you raise the coil several inches and the numbers drop off (read lower) quickly, it's a cap. If the numbers remain fairly constant, without much change, it is a good target. Also I noticed the Fisher seems to read a good target when it is deep with inconsistent numbers until you get closer to the target (your quarter signal). I would keep this in mind on deep signals. Just my 2 cents! HH from Palm Coast!
+Gregory Hux Hi! Thank you! And I tried doing that but once I got about 3-4 inches away, the target would disappear. Not sure if it's because I was in the water or what. I'll try again on my next hunt though. Yea, I noticed that too as I was making edits. And I don't know if it's because of the water or what. It didn't seem to do it when hunting on land. I'll keep watching that though. Thanks for watching!
Good video....you did good on getting those targets. Patience will pay off. I haven't much on or near the water or beach either but I know if I keep trying I will find a silver coin or better yet a gold ring. So don't get discouraged!
+Sylver Wolfsong Thank you! Yea, I think my scooping is getting better. I felt like it slipped a little on this hunt because I kept missing it from time to time. But overall, getting better. :) Yea, they are out there just waiting to be found! Thanks!
Your F19 sounds like a dolphin :) Looking good with your detecting and learning your machine. Someone said you couldn't detect. I can't either - that why I bought a detector to do the detecting for me. I enjoy your learning as you learn.
+Al Hyslip Hahaha, yes it does. I should have called it Flipper! Thank you! Yea, I remember that comment. Lol!!! That's a good one.
Hey, I wish you the best of luck, and I love watching your videos, I go metal detecting with a Garrett Ace 250, thinking about upgrading, and I Found this earring which came up as silver and had stones that looked like diamonds. I got so excited but when i went to go get it checked out, it was costume jewelry. Hopefully we will both find something good! I really hope you get something because you are so enthusiastic. Good luck!
+Josh Sorkin Thank you! And thanks for watching! Awww man! I'm sorry it was fake! Talk about false hope. :( But for a second you were like, "I'm rich!" Hahaha, it's that feeling that keeps us in this hobby I think. I'm hoping for something good this weekend that's for sure. I'll be hitting the islands, if the weather holds out. :)
+She Detector id love to but I haven't started metal detecting I've bought a detector and I'm going to start when the weather pick up here in the uk.
+Rhys Barker Alright. I figured I would check.
just subscribed to your website. happy hunting!
+Patrick M Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Doing good with Squeaker! You have to dig all the signals when you are on the beach. Gold will come in the same number as pull tabs...it will vary on the size of the gold. Don't get discouraged...HH & GL, Dan
+Wormkiller Dan Thank you! Thanks for the tip!
+Wormkiller Dan ...Gold will come in right next to tin foil (small and thin gold rings,earring studs and chain clasps on chains since the detector will not pick up the chain links..ONLY the gold clasp. Same with silver chains unless very big links) and all the way up to copper (large gold class rings and silver) and zinc penny range. Sterling will ring in the high silver coin range. If a ring is cracked thru you may not get a repeatable signal experience there will tell you to dig or not. Your ears are a better identifier of what's good than the numbers except bobby pins! lol Repeatable close numbers and good signals by jiggling the coil just a couple of centimeters back and forth over the target and still good sound and repeatable at 90 degrees will most likely be a keepable item. Getting a good strong repeatable signal and solid close numbers from various positions by walking around it is great and possible good target. Swing 2-4 centimeters while raising your coil slowly to 2-3 then 4 inches ...if it is a coin the signal number will be very close as the number 1" above the ground but the signal should weaken and go silent when you are maybe 4 - 5 inches high. I you can raise the coil 5,6,7,8 inches over the target it is large metal.. usually a pop can, hair pin, large wadded foil etc. Watch videos on technique on all different detectors NOT ONLY YOURS! Basics are the same for all! Your welcome to ask questions also!!! lol
I dig every thing I hear up here in Tennessee on dry land I have an old white's classic 3, but if you are not digging pull tabs you will miss a lot of jewelry, location is the thing if it's not there you can't find it !gold is near soon ! keep up the good work !
+Greg Smith Yea, I'm thinking of just digging everything. Hahaha. Thanks!
WHen in water I recommend digging anything that doesn't register in iron range. Gold has a wide range that pull tabs and nickels ring in around. I pretty much do that on land to if I'm not in a rush. GL and HH!
+Dean Lewis Yea, I think I have to agree with you on that now. I was probably skipping right over the gold! I'll go back there soon though. :) Thanks for watching.
your getting better at guessing what it is now. great to watch. I see it wasn't deep you never got over knee deep. You'll be back swimming before long.
+hard yakka Thank you! Yea, I'll take Beaker out into the water the next time. which means back to digger EVERYTHING! Oh well, at least I wont miss anything that way.
The more I look the more I want to do MD in water but now it's too cold for that :) Great videos Congrats!
+Metal detecting WW2/WW1 RELICS Yes, it's very enticing for sure. Especially if you have clear-ish water to hunt in. I'm itching for the water to warm up. We checked the water temps this weekend and they were around 74. Still a tiny bit chilly but I think it's tolerable. So, I'm going to try getting in it this coming weekend. :D Thanks for watching!
Hey SD, you can put a sandwich bag over your screen to protect it from drips and splashes from water and still be able to see your screen. I really enjoy your enthusiasm and don't give up, that gold is going to happen. Patience Grasshopper. Haha.
+dafish9161 That's a great idea! I'll have to do that. That rock I dropped back in splashed water right up onto the screen. I was like, really? Lol. Hahaha, woosa!
Keep up the good work, water is warming up. You had fun day :)
+sdesic Thank you! It sure is, I'm excited! Thanks for watching!
Grats on all your finds... GL & HH
Have you gone on the beach and that in the water only
+Jo Ann Romero not
+Jo Ann Romero I've not checked the beach to much. There's not a whole lot of actual beach area but I'll give it a true when I go back there. You never know!
Hang in there girl. You will find some treasure for sure.
Here in South-Africa in my area I pick up loads of ammo shells that the tips are flattened and folded over sometimes. They used to pull out the bullet and do that to use the gunpowder in aiding to start a fire. Not saying that's why yours looked like it, but interesting fact about the Boer / British was over here. Canadians soldiers especially did that.
Wow really? That's crazy! I guess it makes sense though. If you need fire and all you have is ammo, make it work! :D It is interesting for sure. :)
She Detector it is :) I find them which was old concentration camp 1890-1902. Very sad... I often pick up personal items such as old harmonicas etc. I'd love to hunt where you do for gold and jewelery and coins etc. Relic hunting is very different and hard work for old rusted stuff but everything has a story behind it. Thinking of all the little children that died in those camps a lot of the items I find is heartbreaking. sorry for long reply :)
I live in Oldsmar and finding places to hunt has been a chore in itself.Yesterday I went on the Courtney Campbell Causeway the Tampa side and was thrilled to learn that it hasn't been searched for quite some time because I found about $4.60 in clad and a few other invaluable items.I was getting signals on my metal detecter every few yards which I loved.I brought my GoPro and pushed the record button and was going to upload my first video of my hunt today later on tonight,Unfortunately when I pressed the record button the GoPro was on camera mode and not video mode.I was so bummed!It was a beautiful day with a lot of finds and my plans of shooting a video went right out the door.😖
+Detector Dave Yea, I'm not surprised. I tend to stay pretty local where I live. Oh awesome. I hunted Ben T. Davis last year when I first started out, not one single coin. Oh no!!!!! I'm sorry that happened and you didn't get anything on video. I hate when things like that happen! Maybe next time you'll get the whole thing on video. :)
+She Detector I know right!
hang in there girl. im still trying to find my first great thing. getting used to my new coil is challenging for sure. beer caps n pull tabs ugh tons of them. im south of you fort myers area. I have the same scoop n its a workout carrying it around. I hope you have better luck on your next seach. keep it up...at least we can enjoy our beaches if anything else.
kk
+Kellie Kocienda Thanks! Oh yea? So no rings for you yet either? Hehehehe. Oh ok, that's not to far from me. A few hours I think. Yea it's a pretty heavy scoop. I drag it around mostly. Lol. Me to, I'm hoping to get out to some island next weekend if the weather holds out. Yes! You really can't beat being on the beach in Florida. :D
Suggestion on gloves...Dollar Tree carries great gloves. They are made of rubber or latex type of material and mesh. The mesh is on top, allows your hands to breathe. The rubber is thick enough to stop most sharp objects. The gloves are flexible too and come in different colors; black, blue, green, red and purple! For a dollar each pair will last you several trips, depending on how much abuse you put them through and they are easy to clean.
+Sylver Wolfsong Yea? I'll check them out. I bought a pair over the weekend which I think will be great. I'm hoping they drain the water well, that's the only thing I'm worried about. If they don't, I'll check out the Dollar Tree. Thanks for the tip!
Hi She Detector, newbie here too, I'm researching several different ones ( videos and reviews ) and thought this link may help in your fine tuning :-), Happy Digging
Fisher F19 Review Demonstration and How To
+Jessica Sterkel Hi! Well welcome to the hobby! There's a ton to learn for sure. Thanks for the tip on the review. I like watching other videos because that's how I learn. :D
You found 26 cent more than I did yesterday. Short hunt one empty 22 rimfire case, a rotted out piece of steel and a gutter nail. But had a good time that's what counts.
+swatnc Hahaha, yea? Well at least you got out to hunt. That's good!
Hang in in there and be patient took me almost a year to find something nice and took me 2 years to find a coin it will come great video can't wait for the next one
+Luther Ardinger Oh wow really? Well now I don't fee so bad. I've found a few coins so I shouldn't complain. Hahaha. Thank you and thanks for watching!
+She Detector your welcome
It's easy to get bummed out. I do it all the time but just keep at it and maybe just that one magic day you and I both will find something "great". We know it's out there perseverance is the key.
+Pete Burns Yea... I sure hope so. It needs to come soon! I'm getting impatient. Hahaha.
arggghhh those pesky aluminum pull tabs.aluminum always hits so good on the detector it is quite aggravating but no bobby pins lol.good times keep up the good work
+Rob Plotts Yea, it's very aggravating. That's very true! I think word got out to the bobby pins that I was on to their little game. Hahahahaha!
You need to find some beaches where the sand is more powder. That coral sand beach is firm so when someone drops something, they just pick it back up. Powder sand, when the item hits the sand, its gone, lol. Also, in salt water, anything over 35 or so with a solid signal (knocks your ears off) I dig it, no matter what the VDI numbers are. Salt corrosion messes with the numbers. Cherry pick dry sand and dirt, dig it all in the water. That last target was prob a coin that you flipped up (straight up and down) so you lost most of the signal. One more scoop and you would have had it. HH and GL!
+Dub Coco That's a good point. I hadn't thought about that. Oh really? That probably explains why those coins weren't solid numbers, they were both corroded. Thanks for the info! You know it's funny, I was editing my video and I was like, why didn't you take another scoop!? Lol. It was probably a ring too...... grrrrrr.
+She Detector He's correct..if something is dropped on heard sand they or another passer by will pick it up BUT if it is dropped on hard sand IN THE WATER it will most likely be lost and by morning covered by 2 or 3 cm's of sand or stomped into the sand. That's good out in the water on hardpack because you'll find it in the first scoop most likely.
Awesome video and finds you should hunt the sand at more crowded beaches you might find more 😄
+Coop Playsmc (SpeedyMC14) Thank you! Yea, I'll be hitting some more popular areas this year. Thanks for watching!
my heart just missed a beat seeing that 44 come up. that's gold range..
nooooooo you skipped it. I'd dig 41-44. the guy that had you set disc at 45 was in the ball park, but it can ring low from what I've seen.
+PAPlugPopper AndBuzzkill Right!? Lol. Right color, wrong metal.
+PAPlugPopper AndBuzzkill Well, I'll be hitting that beach again so maybe I'll be able to find that target again. :)
`Well lets hope you don't lose it too much when you dig your first real treasure. I will keep watching in the hope that I see your performance.
+hard yakka Very doubtful, Lol! I think I'll be jumping up and down like a fool. :)
You're getting much better 😃. You're able to tell what some of the items are which helps a lot.
+Food Stamp Yea, I was pretty good at identifying the pull tabs. :) Hooray!
She Detector I seen I wish you could have found some old coins or rings. Take care thanks so much for the giveaway. Have a wonderful day
+She Detector I was checking to see if you had a chance to do any metal detecting this week. And if so hopefully you had good luck. And found something awesome to show us.
Food Stamp Hey there! No I wasn't able to get out this weekend unfortunately. I wanted to check out some curb strips too! It rained Sat and then Sunday was filled with errands and chores. :/ But this coming weekend we are going to take the boat out to the islands if it's not raining. :) I'm hoping to get lucky!
She Detector Cool hopefully you will have some luck. Take care
Damn you Corona!!
A couple of tips which may be useful ...
1. If the coil is too bouyant, cable tie a small weight to the lower shaft when you are using it in water (obviously non-metalic, small wrapped piece of tile perhaps?).
2. When the water is cloudy and you cannot see the bottom, use the following method. Center the coil on the target - Put your toes against the back of the coil - Remove the coil - CAREFULLY place the tip of the scoop just in front of and touching your toes - DIG...
+Uni Mike Hey, that's a really good idea. I was trying to figure our a way to make it heavier, this helps. :) Yea, I should've tried that technique on this hunt, it would've helped for sure! Hahaha. Thanks for the info!
great video keep at it if you find yourself in the uk bring squeaker I have plenty of roman and medieval sites to go on get some roman coins under that coil
Thank you! Oh that would be awesome! I'll let you know if I ever head that way. Thanks for the invite! :D
Fifty is around nickel range I think
another great video! location is key, more people the more potential for gold and silver. I'd look for a school field or a really busy beach. I think on your machine you can set the v break to get hi / low tones, that might help. can't wait to see you hit some jewelry, your turn is coming hh
+TheCleanist Thank you! Yea, I've not played around with the V Break yet. Hahaha yea, I can't wait either!
Hi She, have you thought about trying siesta key beach. That place gets heavy swimmer traffic and may greatly increase your chances of Gold. Be careful with squeaker in the water one wrong move and poor squeaker will be toast. In the water you pretty much gotta dig everything, you just never know. Once you get waist deep the trash will be less so Beeker will punch deep and get the goods. Try for 1 hour before low tide and work the out going tide. Remember low tide after a storm should produce the most goodies. I can see you're getting better at water detecting. It will only get better from here, good luck and look for those heavily crowded beaches to hunt, happy hunting.
+Artie813 I don't think I've heard about that place. I'll look it up though. Oh yes, I'm very nervous about dropping Squeaker. I wont venture much further out than I went in this video. It would be my luck I trip and fall. Lol. Yea, I think we are getting rain this weekend so maybe I'll be able to hunt afterwards. Thanks for watching!
+Artie813 ... even at low tide get out into at least 1 to2 feet of water. 1 out of ten detectorists go into the water...that means you have 9 better chances of finding ring! Get a pair of crotch high thin waders if you're scared of creepy crawly's!
+She Detector Take Seeker with you also. Leave one with hubby on the beach and switch when you have to but GET OUT IN THE WATER!!!!
A friend of mine has been on the same place as you are in this video, and gave up as he found nothing except pull taps and penny's. Oh and he uses a Teknetics T2 Metal Detector, which is the best on the market and water prof, you should check it out, have one on order
+Ron Buskirk Oh really? Bummer. Hum, guess I'll just have to go out further in the water. Lol. I'll check it out for sure. Thanks!
The people who find the best stuff dig EVERYTHING! All metal mode. your gonna dig a ton of trash, but you will also find the best stuff!
+Mr45acpShooter Good to know, I'll try hunting in all metal mode next time. :)
As I said before - dig all signals, especially in the coin, silver and gold ranges. Targets can be on weird angles and will give a crappy sound until you move some dirt off them. Your getting better at scooping though ;) Keep it up and soon you can beat hubby in an arm wrestle ;) And you have to dig pull tabs to find gold, skip em and you won't find much. Thanks for the vid - snow is melting in Ottawa, Canada and soon I'll be able to look for all those rings people loose when they take their winter gloves off ;) Make a game out of the pull tabs, see how many you have to dig before you find gold.
+Digger D Yea, I think I'll be doing that from now on. Digging everything in the water and such. Hahaha, yea I'll have one big arm and one tiny arm. :) Thanks for the advice. Oh good, soon you'll be able to get back out and hunt.
Also...The ammo round...you should see what is inside. Someone went to some trouble to close it up. Could be GOLD inside! We can only hope.
+tonycao423 Yea, I had never heard about that. Apparently gold miners did that. Which is very cool! I didn't open mine up though. I should have.... :/
don't get discouraged!! I remember back 25 years ago when I started out and I would always say the same things!! but I would study as much as I could and just gain knowledge!!
+NH beach metaldetecting That's true. Plus the more I hunt, the better I'll get....in theory anyways. Lol.
Nice pulltabs though..
+StefanrDetecting Hahaha! thanks!
that clad all adds up, got more then $200 in clad in my first season, that's a big chunk of the costs paid for.....here's hoping you get some golden tickets from the gulf.
+BusyBeeCompany That's awesome! Congrats to a great first season. :) Thank you!
Don't get bummed out! Your learning more and more every video. Maybe try and ground balance your machine in deeper water where the coil wouldn't surface when pumping? After getting your initial vdi try raising your coil a bit off the ground and see if the vdi # drops. If it drops its most likely a twist top or other certain types of trash. It'll help you decide not to dig but the 1st couple of experiments dig it anyways just to see. That bouncing quarter signal could of been a bad ground balance or trash was near it. If you only go for the solid signals your going to miss good targets. Dig what your heart tells you to dig. Bury a gold ring once (tie a string to it) and see what that signal looks and sounds like. Find the nearest historical society and have them print of an old platt book (1920's?) for your area, the black dots are old homes. Then go to the court house and get a modern platt book, the pages match and see if there were any old homes in now parks or public land somewhere?
+Dirt Fever I hadn't thought about that. I'll give it a try though. I did learn that while at Clearwater last weekend. But it didn't seem to work that well in the water. After going up about 3 inches above the target, I couldn't see it anymore. Not sure that's about though. Oh yea, I don't remember if there was something else near it after I dug it. I actually just saved a thing for all of Tarpon Springs. It listed when houses were built. Not I just need to find a good one and get a permission. :)
You've made great progress with learning how to use Squeaker and hopefully those bigger finds are just around the corner (or beneath the surface) and if not, I hope you meanwhile have fun with the hobby itself. I was wondering about the signals that jump about - it seems in most cases they're indeed just junk but I've also watched some detectorists on other channels say that they feel the signal sometimes jumps about if your detector is sensitive enough that as you swing it back and forth it gives a differing signal as it gets closer to or farther from the target and then settles on a steadier number as you center it over the target. I'm no detectorist though. so I've no idea how accurate an assessment that is, but was just wondering... I think I'd just be too tempted to dig it if the jumpy signal had any high numbers at all! Don't be too discouraged - your finds will come, I'm sure and meanwhile, your channel itself is gold itself and quickly growing and reaping it's own rewards of sorts via encouragement and some nice gifts. There's more than one way to find gold it seems! :)
+Simon Burton Thank you! I think so too. :) Yea, I'm having lots of fun, even though I'm finding junk. Better than being a couch potato....Although I also enjoy being a couch potato. :D I'll have to mess around with that on my next hunt. I'm curious now that you say that about the signal steadying out over the target. Yea, I'm like that too but I tend to leave them. I should just dig EVERYTHING though. Then no worries about missing anything. Yea, I'm having for sure and yes, my channel is doing great thanks to awesome people such as you! :D Hahaha, some might say you're gold Simon! ;D
I thought your detector was a dolphin there for a sec with the sound it makes. lol. you should have named it Flipper
+Joe Posey Lol! Yea, there is actually a part in this video where Squeaker is going off like crazy and I'm just picturing a cartoon character. Lol. Flipper is a great name! Hahaha.
I know that those pull tabs are a pain but they can read just like a piece of gold. When you think that what's in the ground is just a pull tab and pass over it, It could be gold. Corroded coins in salt water can give odd readings so dig everything. That tractor pin was giving you a reading only in one direction because it was Iron and the machine was trying to discriminate it out but because it was so large you are getting what they call a wrap around effect I think. Your doing great keep it up, the stuff is out there you just have to get your coil over the top of it. A little tip hunting in the water with a non waterproof machine you can make up a strap (very simple) with some 1" or 1 1/2" nylon webbing attach it to the machine and over your head and wear it cross body like a purse you can then let it go to your side while digging and not worry about it falling in the water. Best of luck.
+Steve Stonacek Yea, I've learned from people telling me. I'll be digging them all from now on though. :) I'm not missing a gold ring next time! Yea, I didn't know they did that but that explains why they weren't solid numbers. But they did seem to stay within 10 numbers or so. That might help me identify a coin the next time. Oh really? I wasn't sure if it was iron but I guess that makes sense. It was really weird how it was sounding. Yea I thought about that. Someone had suggested a strap for a weed eater. Either would work great I think. It would be nice to be able to swing it behind me this way when I bend over, it would rest on my back and actually lift up away from the water.
Where is Crystal Beach near too? I live in FL and it would be awesome to see you metal detect! 😄
+Andrew Vuong It's south of Tarpon Springs FL and west of Tampa FL. Oh very nice. Where about do you live?
+She Detector i live in the Pinellas Park area
+She Detector also, you should try to metal detect st pete beach. I found my first 14k gold pendant there.
Andrew Vuong Yea, I'll get there eventually. there are so many awesome spots here in Florida for sure!
Hey She Detector, another great video, I finally figured out why Ilike your videos do much, you keep the camera slill & you keep everything going smooth & at the end you always have a nice display of your finds , Ive been meaning to ask , what kind of head phones do you use on your machines?I started using the Gray Ghost amphibians, on my Seahunter their awesome , if your on the market for phones for that machine comfortable & great sound quality , waterproof also, thanks for the nice work your an inspiration to all!!!
+CRF 2012 Hi! Thank you! Well I'm glad you like my videos. I do try to have some nice ones. I watch others and some of the things you mention keep me from watching some channels. They juggle the camera in their hands or they only show the object after they dig it, stuff like that. Well with my Sea Hunter, I use the waterproof headphones that came with it: www.amazon.com/Garrett-Metal-Detectors-Submersible-Headphones/dp/B003W5NVKQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458311012&sr=8-1&keywords=garrett+waterproof+headphones With my F19, my husband bought some from Walmart (not waterproof). They are just regular headphones what a 1/4" adaptor jack. I'll look into those, new hurts to have some better headphones. :) Thanks for the tip!
Continued about platt book....... Dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars 1964 and older are 90% silver. Half dollars and dollars 1965-1970 are 40% silver. Searching in old home sites can be a nice change and rewarding should someone hang there pants on the old clothes line and lose their change from the pockets! Just a suggestion for change if your getting bored? Keep up the great videos.
+Dirt Fever Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
Well, another fun vid to watch. Yes, I laughed out loud at the damn you corona comment. The only advice I can think to give is to avoid rubbing coins. Coins do degrade in value when they are worn, even quicker with big scratches that could've been avoided. A soft toothbrush can work well to clean the coins a little on site
+Cory Hartman Thank you! Hahaha, yea, it sounded great! Ah, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the advice!
dig it all you never know
My apologizes I have only written comments to two other detectorists and none have ever written anything that I felt was negative to me. I had said that she hadn't found much but that I knew she would. But with all of her subs. I felt I had nothing she needed to help detect. Before I would leave a comment I would read all the comments first and anything I would want to say had been asked and replied to so I felt it was time to move on to someone who had just started a vid. about detecting. I love the underdog and She Detector is no longer an underdog she is the rising star to all the new detectorists and female detectorists alike. I will miss She Detector. But will look in from time to time.:-D
She detector, cleaning Americas beaches, one pull tab at a time. Keep it up, not every day is golden. BTW, isn't it great to be on a beach in florida, even if you don't find anything valuable? Hell yes it is!
+buford bingham Hahaha, I sure am! Yes it is pretty nice to get the hit the beach almost every weekend. I really don't have much to complain about there! Especially when I watch other videos and people are digging in a foot of snow! :{
A foot of snow, with frozen dirt underneath. Naaa, you aint got a gripe.
buford bingham Hahaha
my vlf Tesoro has 8 inch concentric coil, and im not sure this little coil compares well. you tell me your have used the land shark now with 8 inch concentric coil. what you think?
Don't lose heart, She. The only way to be sure you will find the better stuff is to put the hours in, cover the ground and learn what your machine is telling you.
The only thing I can see that is slowing you up is the time it takes you to decide if a target is worth digging. That's the learning your machine bit and it does take time.
Do like R Adams does and if you find something valueless call it a saved foot :)
Loved the video :)
+Mark Elsmore That's true. I've got to dig my fair share of crap first. :) Yea, plus if it's corroded from the salt the numbers tend to jump around a bit. Yea, that's a great way of staying positive about digging crap. :)
+She Detector *keep your chin up hug* :)
An older gentleman once told me that you need to search through the trash to get to the treasure.That couldn't be more true....
+She Detector Like Marks says your taking too much time to dig...get the signal ..check it in a couple different directions and just dig it quickly and move on to the next. More chance in ring a ring if you come home with 75 pieces of trast than 10-15 pieces! And you will learn much faster also than standing there pondering what you do not know and just guessing!
+Detector Dave Faster you dig more trash you find equaly more keepers and learning!
Use good on wet Salt ?
Check historicaerials.com/map/ It has lots of old maps. I have used it to find several old places to dig. Don't lose faith, the good finds will come.
+Axxwound Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!
Do you ever wonder about sharks coming to you especially when your shaking Rex ! I'm scared of the ocean now and will not go in. Maybe to my knees. Lol !
Hahaha I do actually. There are tons of fish here that jump out of the water. They like doing it behind my back so all I ever hear is water splashing behind me. I whip around like, "What the hell was that!?" Lol. Especially in darker water. Yikes! :{ I like keeping Rex directly behind me in hopes that if a shark approaches from behind, it will bite into Rex first. Worst case scenario, I lose the hand holding Rex. But it's my left hand so who needs that one? Hahaha.
Don't give up! It will happen.
I know that someday you will find something great, so please don't give up. Don't loose those beautiful rings of yours or I might find them with my meta detector. Lol
+Maurilio Zamora Not giving up just yet. I still need to find that first ring. Then I can retire. Lol. Oh not to worry, I never go hunting with my rings. With how good I find rings, I'd never find mine. Lol.
Nice vid dear, yep dont be disheartened, you will find. Have you thought of asking permission to dig older homes, Churches etc? They can be really productive even sidewalks. Keep at it!
+flash more Thank you! I have though about it, but haven't done it yet. I actually might try curbs in old areas first. Don't need permission since the city owns it. Thanks for watching!
Looks like ur getting the hang of ur machine. Was that a fishing pier I saw in the video? If so, that's a good place to search. Don't forget to wash down the coil with freshwater so it doesn't freeze up on u. Nice rings on ur fingers. thanks for sharing...
+John Saldivar Yea, I think I'm getting better. It sure was. I'll give it a try sometime. And yes, washing off all my gear is a must. I don't want to salt to eat everything up. Thanks! And thank you for watching.
+John Saldivar .. Sure is..hunt the outside of the pilings where rings would fall off the fisherman and items roll or get kicked into the water. Guys would tend to fish out as far as they could get. Doesn't seem that those bays have a whole lot of turbulence and tidal action so items should not be scattered far from the pier but get out there as deep as your fears will let you with Seeker. Maybe get a mask and snorkel which would let you hunt chest deep water at low tide and I guarantee you will fings rings the first day! Tony and Silver Sniffer would find more also if they went out!
+Damian Dodd I have been metal detecting alone every day for six years. I did not write any hurtful or hateful messages to She Detector I only wished her the best and to all the great finds that she WILL find. Where did you get any hate out of that? Please don't reply I know it will only be a hateful message. I also had been subscribed to her channel from day one of her vids. and told many other detectorists to check out her vids and sub. to her channel. It is I not her that made the conscious decision to leave with all the best wishes. That was all I said. Please don't put words in my comments. Hate on your own.
+One Fine Day You said you were unsubscribing because she hasn't found much. Did you not? Maybe I read it wrong. I was speaking in general terms about UA-cam "Haters" not you specifically.
I like your comment good on you
That looks like a great beach to detect She Detector.
I was thinking you should name your pouch as well, may I suggest Leaker?
+Alex Eaton I was hoping so. I'll need to head further out I think. LOL! That's a great name! I'll keep that in mind.
we wont to see your face ;)
i think that's wonderfool :)...
complimenti per i tuoi video,
Good lky
+Carmine Borelli Hahaha, one day. I'm still waiting for that elusive ring! :) Thanks for watching!
Brill video keep them up 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
dig on tone, nice tone either side
Your cleaning the ocean and the beaches! Thats worth it to me. Lol and you get a little pay outta of it
+A sportster1 Hahaha, yes I am! Take that litter bugs!
Are those zip ties holding your magnets in the scoop?
+John Davis Hahaha! Yep!
+She Detector I'm asking because I've decided to get a T-Rex .
Awesome video She...( did you ever see the 1970's movie called "SHE") You passed that 60-80 deep signal up! Look at the hopes you had on that fork from hell! lol When a good item is deep there is more mineralization between the good item and the coil. Enough depth and mineralization or iron near to a good item will make your numbers bounce and become lower than the good item. That 60-80 signal could have actually been a 89 and old deep silver. Mineralization , Iron and most trash will pull on the high conductive signal of a high tone and BRING IT DOWN or completely mute it. That was a deep good repeatable signal and you should have believed your ears and not the screen. Just started the video.. more to come! lol
+john harvey You were moving away from the best area when you said you were getting away from the rocks.. thats where your gold rings will be..heavy items like gold and rocks concrete with the currents help to keep them all together! Strap a nylon filled bag of sand or a larger piece of lead on the top of your coil to keep it down! Straped down tight...your pin pointing will not pick it up!
+john harvey EVEN WHEN YOU THINK ITS CRAP..A GREAT TARGET CAN SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME!!!
+john harvey Having a problem finding where it is in the water to dig it? Put it pin point... wiggle over it till you know you cave it in a vertical line under the center of you coil. Keep wiggling in a 2 cm swing while moving the coil ever so slowly forward till the signal disappears and force you coil on the sand so it does not move. Put your right toes at the back of your coil and don't move your foot yet. Take your scoop and place the tip right in front of your toes and now move your foot and back the scoop back about 4"'s and dig straight down as possible. Should have item in a full scoop..maybe two! That why it is so much fun at night...you don't need to see the bottom to detect and recover! You can eliminate trying to lift and clumsily find the item in the scoop by DIYing a floatable sifterter by your side! ;) NO MORE WALKING TO LAND TO FILTER THE CLAYS AND MUCH USING THE FLOATER!
+john harvey ..That guy below was right..if the bullet casing is crimped on purpose at the end ..good chance something was placed inside!
+john harvey .. Signal in one direction very well could be a coin on end!
Open coils are best for water hunting,a lesson learned. You are a noob so understandable,yes it wears your arm. My fist detector had a bobber for a coil, I could never keep it down. it leaked and ruined the coil. I always say ,metal detecting is 90 percent junk and 10 percent treasure. I used to fill peanut cans with coins at my old school grounds. This year I plan on hunting boat launches and rivers. I havent done any of those. Do research on areas you might want to hunt before you go. look for old road side parks, old house sites, school and soccer grounds are great,hunt shady areas. I found many rings along shady areas of soccer fields. I found a lock once,a few feet later,I found the key to that lock. still have it too.!
+scott firman Oh no, sorry about your coil getting ruined. I'd like to hit rivers but there aren't to many immediately near me. I have to drive about 2 hours or so to get to some rivers. :/ One day though! Hahaha, hey you got a free lock! Very cool.
don't get frustrated you'll find some silver or gold soon
+Jacco de Weger Thanks! I sure hope so.
Yeh..I found 17 no 25 gold rings, 2 1/2 pounds of silver coins, and a Porsche the first time I went detecting.......NOT!!! Do not get bummed out because you are not finding the"awsome" stuff. Detecting is a patient hobby. It's not always about finding things it's also about getting out with nature.....with little rewards! Trust me, your time will come. Keep the vids a coming and good luck!
+da2moso Lol! I was like what!? That's true, it was beautiful out there for sure. Lots of dogs playing in the water and such. Thanks for watching!
Try not to get to bummed you will find some gold im sure of it. and Hey at least your not detecting in Kansas where I live you view is much better. BTW I put up a new video please check it out. Keep up the hard work looked like a pain in the butt trying to keep Sweaker out of the water.
+Caleb Bennington I'm thinking it's all gone on vacation somewhere and didn't tell me. Lol. That is true...I shouldn't complain because any day in the beach is better than a day at work! Sure, I'll check it out today. Yea, the cuff did make it hard to maneuver, but better than dropping Squeaker in the water.
at least it was an older pepsi cap =/ I found one of those in my yard just the other day.
+nthemuseurodenon Yea, I thought it was older too. Not sure.
Who needs to find rings when you've got the ones you're already wearing? Holy cow
+Jason Elwood Lol! I should chuck them out in the water and then go in search of them. Lol.
+She Detector nooooooo don't!
Detector Dave Lol. My husband would KILL me! The headlines would read, "She Detector died today because she was a moron." Lol
Also, how did you get into metal detecting?
+Andrew Vuong Go back and watch her first videos!
+Andrew Vuong Well it was kind of by accident. I watched a youtube video of a guy with a Vibra-Tector 730. It's a small handheld detector. I thought it was cool so I bought one to take out on the boat. I had it for about 2 months and used it while snorkeling and such. I tried using it on land but because it's a handheld, I was having to bend over to try using it. It didn't work out very well. Lol. So I decided to buy a big one! And that's how it all started. :)
Never ever have someone tell you an area is hunted out. there is no such thing. All metal detectors send a cone signal and it is very easy to miss things,also anything in the ground set on edge the signal will appear weak,broken or just plain miss. I have hunted parks that supposedly been hunted out and found many silver coins and old nickles. Gold is usually always at the lower range,same as pull tabs and foil. Many a nice ring has been missed because of this. My box also removes,I need to get a cuff. velcro. I once set my box in a tupper wear container and caulked the cable hole. this was back when the cable unscrewed and plugged in from the box. Yay coins! I live in Northern Mi. we just got a snow event,so now hunting yet for me. I find this time of year there is still frost in the ground and it gives me bad signals.
+scott firman I have to agree with you about places never being hunted out. I once went behind two people working a beach with my old Whites 1/DB Series 2 (my first real one) and picked up things those guys with their top of the line detectors missed. Including a working flashlight. lol But I think this was due to operator error. Now I did work a 12 x 12 patch at an old closed Catholic school I think no one else will ever find anything. (I got $5 in change and a ring)
I got some beginners advice from an experienced man on a beach one day. He said to dig for everything. Now that I have been doing this for a while I still dig for everything when I can. I still have my 1/DB I still love using it sometimes.
+scott firman Oh no, I'll be going back there for sure. The water is getting to where I can tolerate the still somewhat chilly water so I'll go back out there again. :) Oh that's a great idea for the box. I hadn't thought about that. Hahaha. Sorry about the winter weather in your area. Hopefully it warms up soon for you!
+Billy B3 Hahaha, that's awesome!
I don,t know that machine but food stamp down below says nickels come in around 50 if that is true then gold will ring there too I,ve dug a few times betting it was a pull tab and it was a gold ring so be careful what you pass on, far from me to tell you how to hunt sorry just have fun.
+Barry Cormier That's true. I think I'll just be digging everything if it's in the water. You really never know. :)
+She Detector I don,t dig every thing if my machine says it,s rusted iron then I don,t dig it but I do dig every thing else lol
Barry Cormier Yea. I mean like everything over a 35 or 40. :D
You do know that it's just a matter of time, right? ATB Kiddo, keep the faith:)
+Tony Eisenhower It's coming, one day. Maybe I should come hunt with you. You've been pulling rings on like the last 5 digs!! I'm jealous. :)
Well, it's actually the last 6.. But whose counting right:) It's just a matter of swinging yer coil over the right stuff.. Yer due kiddo. ATB..
Tony Eisenhower Hahaha, I think you like rubbing it in. ;) Lol. Thanks Tony!
Well, I do kinda have a little evil streak 👹 but actually I know how frustrating it's gotta be for ya and I'm really impressed by yer tenacity. I don't think I'm alone in wishing you all the best of luck...
Tony Eisenhower Hahaha! Thanks, I'll take all the wishes I can get. :)
