Join me as I scour the city and surrounding areas for hidden treasures using my trusty Minelab Equinox 600.
Old coins, precious metals, relics, artefacts (and lots of junk!), I never know what I'll find. Join me in my successes, failures and adventures in my favourite hobby that takes me to a variety of locations, including beaches, parks, riverbanks, forests and even backyards as we search for all things lost to time and tides.
Learn tips, techniques, and comment on my videos with your own suggestions to help me improve!
Whether you are a seasoned Detectorist or just starting out, I hope my videos will inspire you to get out there and hunt for your own treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you subscribed!
I had the RCMP called on me for detecting in a playground late in the evening. They got a call for someone with a red light, digging holes 😂. They were just about as confused as the caller but left me alone. Not too many people metal detecting in that town.
That lady said on the phone "its odd" and proceeded to condescend him about not understanding why he is doing it and that there are no treasures....why does anyome fing care! I received the same type of answer months back when I asked a neighbor if I could detect on his property because he was removing all the trees and about to rip up the land. He said No with some bogus excuse, those same people that put you down because they dont understand why you do it dont realize that fortune does catch up with those who are dedicated. 2 months after that refusal I found a nearby forgotten park and found a 14k gold chain weighing over 12 grams, 3 Silver Rings, Silver Mercs, Barber Dimes, Silver Rosie's and various jewelry. To this day its still my favorite Park!
Wow those are some amazing finds! Our parks are so full of trash here that finding gold is almost impossible unless you want to dig a million pull tabs and bits of aluminum foil...
Hiya Joe! Such a bizarre find that tooth pendant! Not super unusual for us to find teeth crowns and the like on the beach (as morbid as it sounds... cremation remains) but a tooth in the park?!?! 😲 Curious... why aren't you using your smaller coil on the trashy parks? Seems to be ideal for better target separation, especially when you aren't going for deep targets.... love my M8 or M9 for exactly that scenario. 🙂
Never found a metal crown or filling, have found one cremation tag that I mistook for a dog tag until I got home! I had so much ground I wanted to cover on that park I decided to stick with the 11 inch coil, I find that in most areas it's still quite easy to separate targets with the standard coil. I use the small one when I'm in really uneven ground with lots of sharp rocks, like the seawall or gravely shorelines around here.
"Your soil seems nice to dig in, Idig that Harley Davidson buckle, nice. Anything motorcycle related can be worth $$$ Also, beautiful silver ring, could have easily been gold"! Best of luck"!😎🍀
Sometimes the ground is not too bad; in the summer it dries quite hard and in the fall it's usually very muddy, there's a small seasonal window where it's ok haha. Shame the belt buckle was so corroded, it had been there for a bit but the silver ring made it all worthwhile. Thanks for watching!
When a toonie or loonie has a non colourised version and a colourized version, usually the non colourized cersion are rarer, they are usually, but not always 3 million colours 1 million non colours
Nice ring, i missed this video when it dropped, i could tell you were a milennial, im one too born 89, thw silver chain was cool too, i havnt found anything good in a month or so
Haha nice to know there's some other young(er) people doing the hobby 😅. I just got back out today after not being able to do any hunting for the last month, I've had enough footage built up to keep posting fairly regularly at least.
Nice ring, i detected for an hour and fifteen minutes this morning all i walked away with was $0.47, 2 zipper pulls, these plastic jewels i surface found, and a pile of canslaw and foil
Normally yes, unfortunately this park is in a bit of a grey zone. It's owned by a property development company and was put in place as part of a deal they had with the city. So while the city is responsible for it existing, it technically belongs to the developer. I've complained about this park's policies directly to the city before (they have a mechanized gate that locks the entire park down at 10pm for instance), but the city told me they can't do anything because it's not technically one of their parks.
@@ScoopyJoe My town had a festival over the weekend, every day this week I went to see if the fence was down and it finally was today, didn't find anything, just some change, less than $3, I actually found more stuff after a smaller festival in the same spot back in June, I may go over thw spot one more time next week to see if I may have missed something i didnt grid or anything, in the three days since the festival the targets already sunk into the grass roots and I had to dig for them
@@digginggopher Yeah the large events are hit or miss sometimes, last year's fireworks at this beach didn't turn up many interesting finds, this year was much better!
good finds, try a magnet on that 1968 canadian quarter, if it sticks to it, its not silver, i know that the last year they made silver quarters was in 1968 and also there are 1968 quarters that are not silver
Awesome hunt Joe... nice variety of finds too! Just out of curiosity... how often do you bump into other detectorist? Seems more rare for you... of course I'm usually on an Orange County (California) beach but it's rare I go a day without seeing someone else out detecting. On the most popular days (summer days after a holiday for instance) it's not uncommon for me to see 10-12 guys out! Crazy! 🙂
Thank you! It's actually pretty rare for me to bump into another detectorist around here. At the beaches I might occasionally see someone off in the distance but they usually don't stick around as long as I'm out for haha. The largest number of detectorists I've ever seen in one place myself has been after our summer beach fireworks nights - those nights I usually see several pros out for hours and the odd beginner who shows up for a few minutes and then leaves. Not that many detectorists out here in BC! There is a club that's active in my area but I don't see the members around much, I'm not a member myself.
Once someone loses something valuable they will be looking for a metal detector guy to help. They won't be so rude. I think it's nice that you are cleaning up trash and finding cool stuff. I love it more when some of the metal detector guys can find people's items back.
i was detecting in vancouver years ago and found that exact games token with the clown on it, i found about 5 of them in the same hole, still curious where they were used at, good finds!
There's a huge empty lot right next to where I was detecting that has hosted a ton of festivals and carnivals over the years, maybe from a midway or arcade that was set up there at some point.
When you said, "What is that doing out here?"... it hit... so many of the things you pick up have stories we will never know. Kinda cool to wonder how a little Paris souvenir made it to that spot. very cool!
That silver ring you found has an odd shape just like the silver ring i found yesterday, i think mine may supposed to be a wave ring but im not 100% sure, mine has a stylized W hallmarknand STER hallmark, rang up a 92 on the deus in 31khz, which makes sense
Yeah I'm guessing it's slightly less pure than real 925, being unverified Mexican silver, that would explain the slightly jumpy penny numbers. The unicorn horn on this ring was worn down so sharp that it actually stabbed me while I was trying to clean it haha.
That 50 cent casino token is neat, it's too big to fit in my cardboard slips though, I throw all my normal sized tokens into, I wouldn't know what to do with it if I found it
Haha, yeah I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to find it, I was literally right next to an old casino that shut down in 2017. For a split second I thought I'd found a big silver half dollar like I've found on the Fraser River before.
I'm a big fan of R Dogg but we're not related. I don't know when that ring might have been lost, but I suspect it's been buried for a while. That area had a very dense and settled layer of black sand just below the surface with lots of old clad that had clearly been in the sand for a long time. Perhaps it's an older layer that was uncovered recently.
I believe his finds are honest; I saw you accused Monterey Magnet Man of the same in his latest video and I think that's very disrespectful of you. Focus on creating good content for your own channel instead of trying to undermine others.
You gotta love it. A person who admittedly says that they don’t understand metal detecting, and that “There is no treasure here”. Yeah, sure.. she has no idea, lol
@@ScoopyJoe That 1 time where you're by that log, you kept on digging and digging and digging, and you were just shoving your detector in the hole. Well, you could have just used the pin pointer, stop it so much faster
@ScoopyJoe your very welcome! I've dabbled in gem stones off and on. That's my mom and daughters birth stone for the month of August! Great videos Joe!
Thanks! It always hits like the first time! 🤯 Getting closer, I finally figured out some new editing techniques and higher resolution video so hopefully that helps get me over the line.
Thanks! They do look like peridot. Still healing so I missed getting out this weekend, I've got one or two more hunt videos still waiting to finish and upload while I wait.
@@veroniquedambrun7517 Thanks for the advice, I have pretty thick gloves that I use but I planned to keep some tube gauze over the finger as well when I went out for some extra stability. I definitely damaged some nerves though, some of my fingertip is still numb...
I put the arm cuff through the belt loop on the pinpointer holster, it's the perfect size to sit snugly on lower plastic part of the cuff. Thanks for watching!
You did exactly right, kept calm, please call, help yourself. I've had the law called on me so many times. LOL. They just tell them to mind their own business. If it were the state park they have rules but a silly local park nope.
Thank you! Just got kicked out of an empty field adjacent to an IKEA recently, no signs indicating no trespassing, no fences or anything, literally just an empty wild sandy field because it was 'the site of a future IKEA expansion'. Sigh...
Haha, that's from the Canadian Geese, we have thousands of them that live in the city. They go where they please, and fear nothing. There was a large flock on the edge of the lake where I was, you can see them in the middle of the video when I pan around.
