I haven't read all the comments but that silver heavy mechanical device with three levers all in parallel is a set of 3 rope clutches from a sailboat. Usually they would be in the cockpit or on top of the deck house to lock down the lines that would be used to haul up the sails and the like. They're pretty expensive. That's probably between 80 and $200
They're called "cam cleats" or "jam cleats". They use leverage to flip shut, like the wire top over the cork of some beer bottles. They release quickly when needed.
That fancy do da piece you found with the three fingers looks like its for a sail boat, its mounted on the boat and you feed ropes thru it and then close the finer thingys and it locks the rope in place. Its called a jammer or clutch I believe. Great Vid Nora!
The shell is an abalone, a large one in the mediterranean sea (they are much bigger in the atlantic ocean). Arena is a brand of sport swim suit here in France.
A very small Abalone shell,they grow up to 8 inches long at the bottom of New Zealand, where the water is freezing,they tend to grow bigger in lower temperatures.
The metal piece with three levers on it is a lines clutch from a sail boat. Lines (ropes) run through to help control sails. In the down position the lever clamps the rope and keeps it from running. The things that you though might be aluminum were probable an alloy of nickel and lead and it is the remnant of sacrificial diodes on the bottom of boats to keep propellers from being electrolyzed by seawater. Some of those bits also looked like the could be shrapnel. Remember that Europe has had many wars including ww2, and the south of France was not immune to the boom boom stuff and beaches were a great place to land troops back in the day.
The little aluminum looking things that you found in Spain are tumbled aluminum. Cans and other things from the '60s and 70's I find them all the time in the rivers while sluicing and metal detecting, because I find so many I jokingly call them the new gold nugget they're quite unique and I started collecting them
In the US, there are .50 cent pieces as well as 1.00 dollar coins. So it's not just a quarter as the largest coin. The .50 cent pieces are harder to find.
I believe she's referring to the "modern common coinage still in wide circulation", which she finds "more than pulltabs"(it seems), in the popular swimming locales she likes to predominantly searth..😉✌
Hi Nora……….The dark blue item with flared ends located below the crusty bottle cap is a common electrical wire connector available at any hardware or electrical supply store
The shell is a small abalone. The metal thing with three handles is most likely from a sail boat or other boat,the ratcheting handles are used to tighten lines or ropes that are inserted under them. Nice finds! Thanks for video!
Villefranche-sur-mer, where I spent all my childhood vacations. ❤️❤️❤️ I lost in 1974 a golden chain with “Christophe” engraved on it…if you still around, close to the big rock on the right of the beach 👍🏼
Yes, Craig is correct. It's used on a boat for holding ropes. Ropes go through while the handle is up and when you're ready to hold things where they are then you clamp it down with your foot to hold the lines.
The item with the "gears" is a "clutch" from a sailboat. It is used to bring lines back to the cockpit. When the "gear" is locked it holds a line in place at the proper tension. It is used in conjunction with a winch that tensions the line. Typical uses are to run halyards that lift sails, or for furling lines that allow sailors to "shorten" sails when the wind builds up.
The thing with 3 ‘gears’ is for securing ropes on a boat. That way you do not have to keep tying and untying the ropes, just lift the lever, slide the rope, and depress the lever for quick action.
Hey Nora. Hope you are well. On your trash finds at 11:33 on the video I think the small tubular thing has a magnet at both ends. It’s an older child’s toy. Part of many to build shapes etc I believe. Love your videos so so much. You go to some gorgeous places and you always look so fresh. Thanks for sharing. Av revior 👋
Nora Svet The little "Odd Shaped Melted" metal is from folks having campfires on the beech, they throw metal cans into the fire, they melt and are left on the beech until a storm comes and washes them into the ocean... Cheers Mate... ::;)
If each end of the blue thing is magnetic and sticks to the fridge it comes from a kids toy set called "Magnetic Stix & Balls" we have them at home and our kids loved it.
7:20 is a rope cleat from a boat. 3 ropes go thru those "switches" when they are fully up then you push them down to lock the rope. Used mostly on sailboats.
I don't think that this is aluminum... als you put it down it made a very heavy and solid sound , that's the clou for me that this is a nickel lead mix that is used as a sacrificial metal on many boats.... if the screw that holds it is jammed or solidly rusted they use special underwater torches to remove the leftover metal , then to turn the nut towards the boat to clean the threads and remove the nut to screw on a new piece. The melted metal cool down fast in the water and got a lot of weird shapes , because it is no longer attachet to a boat it no longer dissolves because there is no longer any electrolysis.
Might be that the chunks are from people throwing aluminium into a beach fire and melt, then slowly making it into water. Arena is a swimming equipment manufacturer of swim goggles and swim suits
Your Mum is fantastic! That shell is called a pāua, or abalone shell. Are those apples the Golden Delicious variety? Give us another video in France, that one was great! Congrats on finding love!!
The 3-fingered assembly you found is a line lock for a sailing rig. The lines run under the cams, and the toothed jaws on the cam will secure the line. A crewmember woukd tighten the line to position the sail, then lock it down to keep the sail in place. 3 cams is typical, but a 2-cam version would be used on smaller boats. An interesting collection for a nice day at the beach...
1:43 Solderless connector (probably fell off a boat), while it had some wiring work being done. 4:04 Abalone (albeit a very small one), find another one, and make them into earrings. I paid $200 for abalone piece earrings for my sister a few years ago. 7:16 Rope lock, usually they are bolted to the deck of a sailboat. 9:12 Metal straw (instead of plastic)
I believe the item at 1:43 could be a solderless connector- if it’s hollow on each side, that’s what it is. If there are magnets on the end, it’s a kids toy. These are the rods and metal ball bearings are attached to the end of the magnetic end of the rod. I have a bag of these parts I used to keep on my office desk.
AWESOME DIVE IN SUNNY FRANCE NORA👍 That’s a healthy collection of treasure💍👍not sure how you searched but here’s a tip that works well for me💍💍 detect along the beach in knee to chest water I find the bulk of and best targets👍👍 good news BLU3 have sent me the new NOMAD it was shipped 2 days ago you will see it on our channel this September🎁 if your interested in the Nomad let me know, it’s the bigger brother to the Nemo. I reckon we can help hook you up as you travel a lot I think the Nomad will be better suited to you and easier for you than the heavy bulky scuba tank and give you better opportunities for finding a lot more treasure, let me know and I’ll get the ball rolling for you😀 see you on the next hunt💍👍
Hello Nora. It's great to see you and Mom spending quality time together. Nice little treasure hunt, but most importantly, a nice night out around town with Mom. Looks like you both had a great time. Check the stem on that gold looking ear ring. Sometimes that is where the marking is at. _/
The little blue thing you found at 1:47 is a no. 10 Butt splice connector. It's used to join two wires together, end to end. The No.10 is the size. They're used in almost every type of boat.
Good video. The little blue looking thing looks like it might be a wire connector. You strip the insulation off of a wire and insert the wire in then crimp it. Then do the same thing on the other end. It allows you to extend a wire or repair a wire. Probably a spare the fell of a boat.
The little device with three handles is call a "cam cleat" which is used to lock a rope in a fixed position without having to tie a knot. They come in many configurations. Mostly used on sailboats.
1:45 that blue piece is an electrical Butt-connecter, you insert metal wire into each end and Crimp the metal to form a splice. Thus bonding 2 wires as 1 continuous one. NORA, You asked a reminder, to zip-tie your yellow detector PROTECTOR onto its self.?
The blue cylindric, sort of hour-glass shape object is a type of wire connector that you crimp two pieces of electrical wire together. You have found related crimps in some of your other videos including at least one that was a wire terminal connector type (they allow you to disconnect/reconnect wires as needed. Probably fell off a boat.
the blue might be a magnet, we have ones like them here in the north. Metal ones, might be for a boat for tree straps you tie down with the handle. great videos Nora. Greetings from Denmark
I think the little switch thing you were referring to is a lockdown plate that goes in the cockpit of a sailboat to lock the lines down and run from the cells and the little shell with the holes in it that's an abalone shell
1:43 Looks like the magnetic tip to a ferrous-material-attracting device of some kind, like a pickup-tool (i.e., for reaching down/back into small/remote spaces to retrieve dropped iron/steel items) or a dart for a metal dartboard :D
I think that 3 fingered object is a strap hold clamp, you tighten down parts on boats by using straps going over something and through the clasp, once tight you push the fingers down to hold it all in place..
I've got to say - I really don't care about under water metal detecting - but I watch these anyways because the production is so well done. Even your merch is a step above the quality most channel have. Really beautiful video clips!
Triple Spinlock Clutch used on racing sailboat to keep tension on the halyard rope, sized for the vessel & wind: some use in combination with a winch. 100-200 USD new. Nice find!
The three lever item is from a sailboat. In the US it is called a line clutch. It is for adjusting lines and when it is closed it holds tension on the lines or ropes.
The device with the cam levers is for a sailing dinghy. Try going two stops East to Beaulieu; it's a wealthier town so maybe richer pickings on the beach
The mystery item is a line fast from a sail boat. Ropes go through the slots under the levers and when you push the lever down it pinches the rope to hold it.
The little blue thing looks like a wiring "butt connector". You put a piece of electrical wire in each end then you use a crimping tool to crimp each end down on the wire. So it electrically and physically connects the ends of two pieces of wire. Cool finds.
The three lever item is a Spinlock Triple Halyard stopper for use with small winches. The replacement cost is around $100 plus. The blue hour glass item may be a gaged earpiece.
The metal 3 lever item is off a sail boat it’s actually sail rigging for the ropes I believe. The rope will feed through it and the levers when u press releases the rope tensions
The shell is abalone and the lever looks like it locks ropes in place when placed through so they can't pull back. I have the same metal detector and bought it to do the same thing you are under water. Looking forward to summer to warm our waters here in BC Canada.
The small metal tube is a reusable straw and in the US we actually have 50 cent and dollar coins .50 cent pieces are a little less than twice the size of a quarter and dollar coins are about the same size as a quarter 😀
The blue thing you found at minute 1:44 looks like a toy my kids had (in South Africa). It had a magnet at each end and you connected many of them together with steel balls to build things. If you Google "magnetic toy sticks" you will see what I mean. That big metal thing with the three levers looks like it may be part of the controls of a boat, but not sure.
The metal tube is a reusable drinking straw. There is a big push in Europe to stop the use of disposable drinking straws. So, we can now get stainless steel drinking straws to take with us to use anywhere and reduce the need for the new paper straws that are crap due to plastic ones being banned.
Dang I wish I was over there doing that. That shell looked as pretty as any of the jewelry. I see you found an old sailboat rope clutch. I couldn't find that make and model, but they are all expensive pieces of metal. Now if you can just find the rest of the sailboat. lol. Good luck on your hunt, I'm excited to see how the rest of it goes.

@Living Soul Better tighten up that tin foil hat.
@@toddkj7jhh Maybe loosen it for more blood flow.
@Living Soul
I totally agree with what you said!
It's called a "rope clutch". It locks ropes in place on a sailboat. You lift the lever to free the rope, and pull it down to lock the rope in place.
14:05 is a rope clutch. It’s used on a sailboat, typically mounted on the cabin top to manage various lines and halyards.Great video.
That fancy do da piece you found with the three fingers looks like its for a sail boat, its mounted on the boat and you feed ropes thru it and then close the finer thingys and it locks the rope in place. Its called a jammer or clutch I believe. Great Vid Nora!
I concur!
Yep.
Yes its called a clutch
In Europe its called " le fancy do dah "
Yes from sailboat or catamaran

Arena is a swimming gear, the three lever thing is from a sailboat supposed to go ropes/ wires through that it locks.
7:20 ... Its a line keeper for a sailboat. you pull your line through there and the levers clamp it down, its for fine tuning your sails
That’s to hold the ropes for the sails to snap and hold them in place.

That's true, not very often you find dollar coins in the lakes or rivers here in the U.S.
Hi Nora……….The dark blue item with flared ends located below the crusty bottle cap is a common electrical wire connector available at any hardware or electrical supply store
14:00 it's a Rope Clutch. Probably from a sailboat. The "switches" are clamps that hold the ropes in place for a sailboat's rigging.
The shell is a small abalone. The metal thing with three handles is most likely from a sail boat or other boat,the ratcheting handles are used to tighten lines or ropes that are inserted under them. Nice finds! Thanks for video!
some of the coolest parts of your Videos Nora is your giggles underwater when you find something cool!! love the videos

But they have trouble with other languages.
I never know where Nora will surface next. Again she brings amazing adventure and diverse culture to the living room. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Michael!😊
The large piece with 3 levers holds lines on a sail boat. Line goes through the middle, and the levers clamp down to hold them.
Yes, Craig is correct. It's used on a boat for holding ropes. Ropes go through while the handle is up and when you're ready to hold things where they are then you clamp it down with your foot to hold the lines.
14:34 it’s hardware for a sailboat. The lines to control the sails. Lines go through the levers and are folded down to stop the lines from moving.
Villefranche sur mer one of the most beautiful beaches in the Alpes-Maritimes.
The 3 handle thing might be from a small sailboat, and the metal tube is a metal straw, we have a lot of them in Vermont

This.
7:20 is a rope cleat from a boat. 3 ropes go thru those "switches" when they are fully up then you push them down to lock the rope. Used mostly on sailboats.
Those small pieces of metal (possibly aluminum) might be schrapenall from explosives during WWII.
Love your videos... you're amazing!
I was thinking the same.
Possibly fragments of aircraft from that period.

The tiny shell is an abalone. We used to harvest them when they are 7” across. The other item is for sail boat ropes I think.
The blue thing could be a butt connector. It's a crimp plug for joining two wires

I think the little switch thing you were referring to is a lockdown plate that goes in the cockpit of a sailboat to lock the lines down and run from the cells and the little shell with the holes in it that's an abalone shell
Beautiful 🤙🏻 * the colorful shell is from an Abalone snail *
The thing with 3 lock down levers are sheet locks used on sailboats to lock down the sheets that control the sails.
The mystery two ended thing is a wire splicing nut. The shell is abalone. It's not common to find small intact abalone, so congrats on that. 😊
Butt splice connector I believe
That metal thing with the 3 levers it’s used on a sailboat to keep ropes tight and to quickly loosen them
Nora, that 3 switch device is off a sailboat. It cleats down the lines which holds 3 of the sail lines.
Oh wow that’s where my tires went! I’ve been looking all over for them!
1:43 Looks like the magnetic tip to a ferrous-material-attracting device of some kind, like a pickup-tool (i.e., for reaching down/back into small/remote spaces to retrieve dropped iron/steel items) or a dart for a metal dartboard :D
I think that 3 fingered object is a strap hold clamp, you tighten down parts on boats by using straps going over something and through the clasp, once tight you push the fingers down to hold it all in place..

I think the big mystery piece is from sailboat to manage ropes and keep them lined up so they don't tangle.
Hi Nora, the 'switches' you found are clamps for clamping down ropes. Very likely, they did belong to the inventory of a (small) sailing vessel.
The blue thing you found at minute 1:44 looks like a toy my kids had (in South Africa). It had a magnet at each end and you connected many of them together with steel balls to build things. If you Google "magnetic toy sticks" you will see what I mean. That big metal thing with the three levers looks like it may be part of the controls of a boat, but not sure.
exactly. I can not find the right name, but it was popular about ~1990. I defently regonize the shape and always loved to play with these
Beautiful spot Nora, some awesome finds.
Can I ask what settings you use on the Excalibur?
So sweet, being able to spend some time with mom! 👏👏
The metal tube is a reusable drinking straw. There is a big push in Europe to stop the use of disposable drinking straws. So, we can now get stainless steel drinking straws to take with us to use anywhere and reduce the need for the new paper straws that are crap due to plastic ones being banned.
Dang I wish I was over there doing that. That shell looked as pretty as any of the jewelry. I see you found an old sailboat rope clutch. I couldn't find that make and model, but they are all expensive pieces of metal. Now if you can just find the rest of the sailboat. lol. Good luck on your hunt, I'm excited to see how the rest of it goes.
Beautiful location, great photography, and excellent finds. Thanks for sharing.
