Hello to Bill and Christine! Good-morning! How are you guys doing? Welcome back! Let’s go to find things and Diggin’!
😘🙏💎💍🪙🚘🧁🌯
We are doing well Dinno!!!!!!!! Keeping busy for sure.
I enjoy watching you two tease each other. Y'all remind me of my brother and I. Thank you for taking us a long on your hunts. ❤❤😊
My favorite couple of Californians...In the LA area ..❤ Just a little tip for those refrigerator cips. They're very good to keep your fitted sheets from rolling from side to side... Work great!!!Just cllip them to the sheet and the bedpad...And, no i'm not a Martha Stewart😂...
This is good to know! I need to try this now.
Another fun park hunt guys. Congratulations to the winner of the DR.ÖTEK pinpointer.
Thanks Gary....
good monring Christine and Bill havce a great hunt. I look foward to the videos
Thank you. Bill is out traveling. He will report his finds very soon!
Good morning Bill and Christine from Alabama. Love watching you guys out playing. Christine, love the new hair style.
Thank you very much... I get it is hot there.... and humid.
This stuff is fascinating tome, I'm new at this
And it's a great hobby for any 76 year old like me, thank you
I love hunting playgrounds!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and congrats to the winner!!
Yes, they can be productive.... Ours seem to be getting hit by others a lot so I have been doing a lot more grass and it is also more work but paying off too.
Congratulations Jeannette,🎉🎉👍
Nice finds guys, good job. I like how you guys act like big kids, I'm the same way. Nothing wrong with that. That tot lot was so nice. Take care guys! looking forward to the next video. Christine I'm glad you remembered how to make the car noise. Congrats to the winner!
Thanks... it is really hard to resist a chance to ride a toy..lol
Great hunt Bill and Christine!!!
Thank you very much
Great series of hunts. Always look forward to the Saturday videos. See you next time.
Thanks... We wish Christine had more time but she will get out as much as she can....
Good Morning from NC.
Hello!
Good job Christine and Bill! Bill is a big kid at heart wanting to play @ the park. Congratulations to the winner!
Thanks... Just can't help it... Never gonna grow up...lol
Back when I was young we had merry go rounds that you could spin fast enough to fling someone off. Good times! 😂😂❤❤
Oh yeah.... who could stay on the longest... begging to stop...LOL
LOL! the two of you got in some play time during Christine's detecting
yessssssssss
That playground looks like so much fun, even for grownups. I would totally play on the toys.
It was. I like the zip lines in the parks...
Another fun vid…Thanks for putting a smile on my face( a couple of times)! Have a great day you two…
You are welcome... thank you
Fun video watching you kids play and banter lol.
Thanks... much appreciated
Great hunt guys. Really like you guys have fun on the merry go round.
I definitely think Christine found the nickel cause Bill likes to watch the numbers and he would have noticed that the nickel ring up really strange on the vdi. Great hun hope to see you guys soon
I agree... I think you are correct. She scored another good find
Enjoying your videos in the Deep East Texas pines.
Thanks... I bet it is hot there. I want to go to Texas but not when it is hot
Congratulations. Great video. 💖💯
Thank you very much
Nice park hunt Bill and Christine. Keep swinging and stay safe. Peace
Thank you!!!
7:25 That see-saw is so cool. I wanna ride it! 😀 13:30 So much fun! Kids have such good toys, these days.
So true... The playground was a lot different back in the day... all metal and hot to touch. But we had a blast on them as kids... I guess we are reliving our childhood...lol
I love your relationship, I love the metal detecting ,but watching how much fun you two have together is awesome!!! Iv been trying to get my 15 year old into detecting with me,but hes not into it. My 27 yr. Old is starting to show interest... fingers crossed he will be my detecting buddy 🤞
Thank you very much. Yeah I totally understand. I’ve been trying to get my son to go. He thinks it’s funny. I guess it isn’t for everyone. I bet if he found gold he would think twice.
Love to watch your videos, the dynamics between you and daughter. Have to laugh sometimes because you keep mentioning how hot your weather is there. How would you like to be in Central Texas, where we are at 105 with the humidity at 100%. Your videos are always my number one choice.
Um, you win. I think I would pass out... the humidity would be horrible. I remember being in the Philippines in the 80's and you got instantly soaked when you went outside...no thank you...
Nice pinpointer
Thank you!!!
Love watching you two go out on your treasure hunt's even if it is all tent stakes... lol, Congrats to the winner :)
You two make the best of it and do it well. When you find a car, I always look forward to Christine at the wrap up :) Yeah
Thanks... we do have a good time and really enjoy when we can hunt together... It would be fun to do a road trip to hunt new areas. Thanks and I get excited when I find a toy because I know I get to hear Christine too....she is so good at it
I had my doubts about the XTerra Pro. But after watching you (both) use it (beach/park), I won't hesitate to recommend it to potential new detectorists. I'll also say, "if you go whole hog on the hobby, buy a more advanced Minelab, but keep the XTerra Pro as a backup & loaner." 😄
Well said. I think Minelab did a good job making an affordable detector that actually does a decent job.
Hey Bill and Christine enjoyed the show good hunting and like how you are keeping it fun. I might be able to help with war nickel that is it should have had a higher VDI and tone may also be higher and may be one of you might remember that it did that.And if not maybe if you review your content you might figure it out. Keep on swinging and Happy Hunting 🙂👍..
I thought about going back and looking but there are a lot of videos and what if it is one of the coins we did not get on film... It is a great find again...lol
Love bless to all❤
Congrats to the winner 😊
Thank you
Very good finds.
Thank you
Loved watching you two play on the toys, almost as good as watching your own kids play! Great hunts!
I am always climbing on the toys.. normally don't film it but it can be fun even for big kids...lol. Thank you
I said I like the flannel that you wear and you are rocking those kicks❤
Thank you guys for sharing this awesome content
You are welcome...
You are a great team. Love your channel.
Wow... thank you very much...
Cools finds!
Thank you
Buenos días amigos, les deseo un lindo día, saludos cordiales desde chile para todos ustedes amigos 🙋♂️🇨🇱👍👏🤝😊🗝️⛏️
Buenos dias. Como esta usted?
Time to shine Christine, hope you out do Bill. Lol Good Luck!!
We will have to go at it again after his road trip... back to a beach
Good morning! Hoping I may get a decent pinpointer! My last park was 99.9% trash. Found some civil war camp lead. If y’all are hot, HYDRATE! I work in W. Texas, summer temperatures over 110°.
I can't believe how hot it has been in California, but 110 is VERY HOT too.
Good job guys
I enjoyed every thing you guys do
Thanks for sharing
@ClickOnProfileToClaim01
Good morning
No thank you
Thank you very much!!!
On Amazon they have around the neck air conditioners. Christine you need to bring a hair wrap with you keep one in you bag. Love ya both
Interesting... When I read this I was thinking it had to be huge and back breaking...lol. Need to check it out. Thanks
Light as a feather, any color you want and Bob loves his. And USB
good hunt
Thank youuuuuu.
Short but fun hunts in the heat is always good. Would like to see how you clean your coins now that you have had your tumbler for a little while now. I have a lot of coins and don’t know how to clean them. Thanks.
I do have a video somewhere a while back, but I will add another one to a video when I get back from my road trip....
I do remember the previous video and I thought it was when you 1st started tumbling things. I just thought an updated one would be great, maybe you are doing things different now.
Great video and hunt's. Congrats on the silver nickel and congrats to the winner 🏆. As always really enjoyed your video thanks. Gregg
Thank you very much and what a nice surprise to find the nickel as we were rolling coins. Sure am glad we did not miss it....
So excited - trying to email with info for pinpointer - let me know if I’m missing anything. Thanks so much. - love watching videos ! I’m a newbie to the hobby so love getting pointers - thanks again!
You are welcome. I will check and I am also out of town so Christine will handle it on her days off this week... Congrats.
Love watching the hunts and the treasure you both find.
Thank you very much... I am on a road trip again.... you will not be disappointed Wednesday... I am doing pretty good in the Sacramento area. Gonna do the editing tomorrow....
Nice park hunt guys Have a great weekend Christine and Bill
Thank you Old Pelon!
Big kids let loose in the tot lot.
You know, the day you guys post a video with no toy cars, therefore no 'noise' from Christine, a lot of people are gonna be so unhappy.
p.s. Dont forget Bill, one day to slo-mo Christine's 'noise' or even play backwards..
LOL... yeah... we are going to have to play with the editing a bit. Can make it fun.
I love the bantering between you two! So funny! Please keep hunting. You make it fun. Hi from Ga.
Thank you... we do have fun together.
enjoying your videos
Thank you
Nice find
Thank you
Been busy doing my own thing, so I have a lot of Video Catching up to do... Been missing seeing your videos.. so I'm gonna get to it.. LOL
Thanks... We get it. I try to find time to catch other videos... not enough time...
@@DigginSoCal I don't do Metal Detecting but I still find treasures (at the thrift) I have to give it to you editing videos isn't that easy.. but I'm learning.. Okay, gotta get back to your videos.. Didn't realize how many I've missed.. but it's nice to binge watch them..
That war nickel is pretty sweet! Might have to hit up a park after dark tonight. It’s just been so hot!
Yeah, it is like we found it twice... I am in Sacramento area and it has been even hotter than SoCal...
Nice hunt guys. The playground spinning was hilarious. I think Christine would love the Manticore, but the little XterraPro is really light and easy to use.
Yeah... she does like it.... I felt it was not as specific on the VDIs and is a bit more jumpy but for the price it is still a good detector.
@@DigginSoCal yeah, well look at the price difference between it and the Equinox, the Deus 2, or the Manticore. You better get a lot more detector when you buy one of the more expensive ones. You get what you pay for.
Still, it is an excellent entry level machine, and even a backup detector. Light weight and very easy to use, and you can find plenty of treasure right out of the box.
It does a much better job than say the Apex, or Vanquish, or lol, the go-find 60. It's more user friendly with its intuitive controls, than say the Simplex or Legend, which are both great machines, just different to navigate.
It's waterproof, and, oh, it does look cool in green...
As A left arm amputee who loves treasure hunting,my hubs bought me a Garrett medal detector🎉
Do u all have any suggestions on how to make it easier for me?
So I don't waste unnecessary energy on little dings and tings.
Is there a good flat number to start at?
I have the Garrett AT Pro but do not really use it. I am not that familiar with Garrett. My suggestion is to find a place in the yard and test it with coins and jewelry... take notes and get a feel for how it sounds and the numbers of targets. They may vary depending on condition and the ground but it will give you a better idea of what you are looking for.
Awesome hunt, Merry Xmas
Yeah, the heat has been brutal here in SoCal thank goodness for the beaches. I’m staying away from those parks until winter time. What do you think of that new pin pointer from mine Lab I love the new colors too hopefully you will review it for us and then maybe a giveaway L O L thanks for sharing
I have not had a chance to get one yet. I do want to try it out. I have to 35's sitting there because the Garrett was so much better. Maybe they caught up. I think I will order one.
The orange toy is a finger flashlight. My grandkids have a blue one just like it.
Oh, OK... I should get some for when I dig at night but I don't think they are bright enough...
@@DigginSoCal They are not. Just a fun toy. However, you can find wristbands that hold mini flashlights. Headlamp, wrist flashlight, and your Crocs flashlights.
The difference between Christine and Bill detecting is like watching the turtle and the hare 😂😂😂😂
LOL... Give me my coffee and set me free...
Also the large scent flying eagle and the colonial coins
Good morning yall😢.
Hello!
How do you guys like the Xterra pro? Seems like a solid machine.
I think it's great. It's a well rounded machine, even the price is good.
I like your friends that should be wearing and you rocking them kicks
Hi 👋 did you guys ever get those croc charms I sent?
Cool
I wish I can partake with the cupcakes that you're talking about
The glass piece Christine thinks is a chess piece is actually a broken Neon tube mount. Holds neon on a sign and a small piece of copper wire wraps around the tabs. Yours has a broken ear
Hum... that is interesting. Thank you
Don't Discredit those foil signals. I have a bunch of small gold from tot lots that ring up the same numbers as foil on my legend. Easy to find in wood chips and remove and then the next time it makes for a much easier hunt when most of the foil is removed.
Isn't it the worst that the foils numbers can also be something good.
@@christinethestringbean just today found a small 14k earring that had the same id as most foil. It was a crisper tone though unlike a lot of foil that I dig that has a tendency to be broken up tones unless the foil is big.
Hello Bill and Christine
Hello
Christine found the Nickle.
I agree... I think I would have noticed it. She wins again. But, I got to find it the second time...lol
❤❤❤
Hi guys 😊
Hello!
Good morning! First to comment. 🎉
Hello!
Good morning guys hope you find gold and bill please get her a cupcake
I have 3 cupcakes, so I'm all set. For now.
My grandson has his eyes peeled to see you dig a matchbox. He thinks that is the coolest finds.
I have a 1943 steel penny with the with the mint mark of a S mint mark ❣️
When's the last time that you found the King George II or the first or any Spanish coins like the 2 riyals
Children.must have fun
Even adult children...lol
It just occurred to me that Christine looks EXACTLY like what my granddaughter will look like when she gets older...seriously...exactly.
Interesting... I wonder if Christine has any pics of her when she was a kid.... you should email her...
I could use a pin pointer!
Silver nickels have the mint mark on the back.
Yes... this one is "S". Awesome that we found it and found it again in our pile of nickels...
You need to get a metal one of those
I thought a brown out is when your toilet is broke LOL
Hey did you guys hear the crow or do you guys got Ravens cuz in Virginia we have Ravens and the common crow I have two Ravens that I befriended and the other day they brought their fledgling they come to my job I work at hotin market highland springs Virginia Henrico county VA
Get them Christine
If you guys ever want to come to Richmond Virginia I have multiple spots to metal detect in Virginia is the capital of the Confederate of the civil war there's a lot of artifacts
Why does bill grab things out of your so fast.
LOL... have you not seen Christine run up and grab my finds too.... and then run away... Actually I usually am trying to get it in the light and in a good position for the camera but I know it can look a little grabby... maybe we can change that a bit...
Kids will be Kids. Don't know who is the biggest kid, Bill right.
I win... I am the big kid....
Nice nickel
Thank you
It has the big S over the Building then it is 35% silver...nice...USA Coin Book Estimated Value of 1943-S Jefferson Nickel is Worth $2.25 in Average Condition
Sweet... I just can't remember finding it the first time... finding it the second time among the nickels was exciting...
Christine you need to wear a hat in the sun. Good to see you out hunting too.
I keep forgetting to bring a baseball cap... I'll try to remember next time.
Check out the Hoover boys they're based out of Baltimore Maryland
Hey..I think that 1943 nickel is a silver war nickel
Yes... I checked and it says it is. Awesome find
Because it's the William show it's the William show he's the ringmaster
Mucho Bella Belladonna😊😊 Christine don't cut your hair no more you've got beautiful long curly brown hair❤
There's a 1924 dime that was minted by the mint guy who is in charge of the men at the time and he took precious metals and he had 24 of them made gave each one to his family members don't spend it because one day it'll be worth a lot of money two guys circulated one was found the other one is worth 1.9 million
