Beach find of a lifetime metal detecting 

Staged load of rubbish and fake

You & me both. Bad enough that it's buried there...silica sand...bad as single grains. I wonder if it was real.

The way these metal detector guys rub on coins and such is crazy. Take it home and rinse it off. Why destroy the value.

it was fake

Most md's don't carry a water bill to clean their finds.I do..never rub coins

Thanks for watching dude hope you just as well

I almost passed out when I got back and googled it

So was it real and did you hand it back to the owner when found

@@jbss7382 if it was real, I highly doubt it.

Thanks for dropping by dude

Was fake

Thanks for watching

Thanks Julie. It really depends on the beach conditions to what you find sometimes the older stuff will be there if there's been a good storm and has stripped the sand back. I've had a few Victoria coins before in really nice condition. And some jewellery from the 20s but yes the large part is more modern and if I get for some fish and chips at the end its been a good fun day. All the best and thanks for watching.

You can, and do, sometimes some very old stuff on beaches! Usually after a big storm.

Thanks dude

Fill the holes back in

Check the hole

Yeah I was amazed at finding the two silver rings. The second morning bloody blow my mind. The area near the pier was ramed the day before loads of people in the water so it was worth the 30 minute walk along the coast. Thanks for watching dude. I'll probably not catch you on Wednesday as I'm away.

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and subscribing. Yes I'm currently using the xp deus 2 but I started out with the garrett ace 250. Not a bad machine back in its day and it got me hooked on detecting. One thing I'd say with this hobby is over time and if you put the time in it will pay for your equipment. My last two detectors have paid for themselves. I actually have a two hour drive to my closest beach but the way I see it. I'm out in the fresh air doing something relaxing, exiting and enjoyable the if I find something its a bounce. If I was you just trying and get a good second hand they do hold their price better the most items but you can still pick up a bargain every now and then. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Never left anything on the beach ever ie junk, but would love to find something interesting like you do. Years ago I bought a Patek Philip in a box of bits in a junk shop, buttons, rings etc. Everything was grubby and sticky as if child had put sweet in it which had dissolved and turned everything black inc box too. knew rings gold as used long nails to scrape a tiny bit off ea. Quick scrape of gunky face, was Patek Phillipe. Asked how much, said was only rubbish, Paid £5. Cleaned everything up plat eternity ring with diamond missing, rings 15 & think 18ct. Felt guilt although had bought a ring at two thousand, never had engagement ring. Watch was immaculate when gently cleaned, not a scratch. Oblong surrounded with diamonds. Not all good things work out. Arrived at sisters one day she was cleaning to paper, course I got under stairs, caught watch diamond came out, searched, never found it. She's very talented, insisted I leave it so she would put a Swarovski in, you don't argue with her though I didn't want to but sounds pathetic, no option. Not mentioned next week, asked her following week, her response, what watch. Showed picture of me wearing it. Denied having, her daughter said, Mum don't you remember you said you could sort it? Started on her, threw me out for accusing her, told me not to come back. When it first happened, I said look I'd prefer to take it it's a Patek Phillipe, response never heard of it yet worked in a high end jewellery shop for her sister in law. I had a guy feeling, knew I couldn't trust her which is Very sad as it affected our other siblings, and it as definitely a Patek Phillipe particularly going by the rings, in fact, even by the buttons which were the extra buttons you get off expensive clothes! That's the person I loaned 6'000 towards a car and was paid back over 2 years. Don't you wish you'd listed more to your Mum? I certainly do, she warned me often enough!

Raffle win. More like stolen.

Just go's to show how much loosed jewellery is out there.

What a Crazy but unfortunate story 🙏

Thanks for joining us hopefully you'll find so.e of my videos useful and best of luck on your first dig. My advice dig everything that beeps to start and you'll work out the good targets from the trash.

@@DIRTDIGGERDAN thank you. The device has dials and analogue needle display. It is good to understand the basics at entry level. Of course if I get hooked, then I will upgrade.

Thanks 😊

it sure was one to remember. thanks for watch dude

You and me both dude

Was it ?

Thanks for the sub dude glad you enjoyed it

Yep I still can't wrap my head around it. Just right time and location i guess. I'm used to finding a bit of charge pull tabs and 9mm bullet casings 😆

Thanks dude yeah we're good thanks. Hope you and yours is well and fine also.

thanks I'll be updating everyone on the watch soon.

That's literally a $40 fake "Patek Philip" haha

@@alexj6408 Even still.. a fake is worth a few quid... maybe even a hundred or more.

@@DIRTDIGGERDAN given that it was still running when you found it, it's been there less than 3-4 days max. Your camera was really out of focus and the face of the watch could not be made out. Can you post an update with clearer vid?

​@@bobbyshaftoeIt's an automatic watch. It winds when it's moved. He said the date was wrong, so if he paid attention to that, you could ballpark when it was lost.

It's fake just like your awful spelling of one of the oldest watch brands going.

whats the chances aswell being a petek phillipe nothing isnt cheap from that brand

@@Theblanco_ like 0000000000000,1%😂

Spoiler alert!

And then he starts to scratch it up with the sand. $ a 30k plus watch. huh

my neihbor was in Melburn, and gave me a baseball cap---said Australia is as big as the 48 states of America

Oh I wish I could go back and detect then the story's I've been told about the beach Detecting back in the day.

@@DIRTDIGGERDAN yeah we had some great days. Wasn’t unknown to come away with 100+ coins on a good day

​@@DIRTDIGGERDANI can only imagine I live on the treasure Coast in South Florida and all the old-timers around me have a gold doubloon made into a necklace around their all mostly say metal detecting back in the day I guess around here at the treasure Coast if you were put your time in you were guaranteed almost some gold doubloons

@joshuadowns9363 wow that's cool and I can totally believe it. I listen to Relics radio and here some of the stories of what people find. Your definitely right on if you put the time in. I'll normally put in 8 to 10 hours when I'm out and 3 to 6 hours driving just to get there. Its like anything in life you get out what you put in. Thanks for watching dude and be lucky

Glad to hear you're back on your feet and feel able to get back into the swing of things fingers crossed for you and best of luck

I didn't use the scoop because it was so loud in my ears I knew it was about an inch below the sand

I've used it with them on and off and haven't really noticed a difference. On the garrett carrot you can use a ring or your hand digger to increase the depth of your pinpointer.

​​@@DIRTDIGGERDANagree you can also tape a penny on upper shaft to increase sensitivity. Weird but it is like adding more copper to the winding.

Cause he is gay!!

Its about a two hour drive for me to the nearest beach. But I do go once or twice a month in the summer. Mainly do farmland and parks

Yeah definitely can't grumble what so ever. I'm going to post an update video next week or over the weekend about the watch. But yes a cracking weekends Detecting that was. Thanks for watching dude.

I thought you have to hand finds of value to the police?? Only if it is not claimed after a period of time can you then keep it.

Thats for sure I'll not forget that weekend still can't believe it. Thanks for watching dude

Early bird dude

this is where i got mine from www.lpmetaldetecting.com/products/nokta-makro-premium-scoop-3in1

It sure does its pretty much the only thing keeping me from from being a fat ass 😆

Indeed it is!

Definitely was one of my best days Detecting

Thank dude

Thanks dude

Thanks for dropping by

Definitely if I was into watches no way I'd bring it to the beach.

@@Jules-vt6dh sure, that seems logical. however, it decreases the value of the watch significantly. in some cases, by tens of thousands of dollars.

Thanks dude. And never say never I've got a bit of a heart issue at the moment that is preventing me from going to far of the beaten path. So I have to be careful until it gets sorted out.

@@DIRTDIGGERDAN I'm in the same boat with heart issues. Are you down south now? I detect Bournemouth and Poole on occasions.

@VanOnTour no still up north but I've got family down in Bournemouth and I've got a few friends down in Plymouth so I'm down that way a few times a year. Yeah having hart issues sucks doesn't it but we do what we can

Thank you 😊

Well done. its got to be one of the best beaches for finding jewellery loads of trash though

Yeah! @ two 'ring' pulls

Well I hope you do dude I still can't believe how well I did. I'm off on holiday myself again next week so I'll be hitting the beach every morning. Hopefully I'll do one evening live as well well have to make sure we don't clash lol. Where you off to. I'm down Weymouth.

@@DIRTDIGGERDAN Pembrokeshire 👍

@@TheDarkKnightDetectorist enjoy and good luck dude

Yeah its a pretty cool little toy now I get to play with it 😆

Hahaha love it

Thank you

Thanks dude

Thanks dude. Its a patrek philippe. Still waiting to find out if its real or not but if it is its a £150k which is nuts why anyone would spend that sort of money on a watch is behold me.

@@DIRTDIGGERDAN .Surely a fake watch mate.any1 losing a 150k watch it would be all over social media a reward for its return but possibly not.Anyways i hope its real and worth that amount. Be life changing an amount like that

I know it was a crazy day its definitely not normally as got as this

All the information I've been given on the watch will be in tomorrow's episode. The rings are just 925 Stirling silver. For a newbie id probably look at something like the nokta makro simplex range. Or the Garrett ace range as a good starter detector. You would have to check to see if the lakes are public or privately owned land but ether way you would have to gain permission from the land owner. Hope this helps you i wish you the best of luck on your Detecting adventures

Thank you

Thanks dude
