BEACH Metal Detecting! | Would You LOOK At That? | Minelab Vanquish Metal Detector 

Those nails are probably old boat nails and may be kind of collector items. Here, lead is about $.50/lb. Mish, of her DirtFishMish channel, melts all her lead and molds her own scuba weights. You can melt lead on your stovetop. Copper is around $4.00/lb. It all adds up, man! I mentioned before that I sometimes notch out 14-19 and others on my Vanquish. I only do that if the ground is working me to death with junk. I've lately been trying Relic mode and it definitely is the strongest setting because it picks up far more targets...and deeper but it can really work you to death. When I notch out it's just on days I want to relax but many days I like all the flurry of beeps and enjoy the digging. Thanks for a another great video, Austin.

“Would you just LOOK AT IT?” 😂🤣🤣🤣 I was CRACKING UP over here!!!!!

nice finds

Sounds like a short dive is in order an old boat wreck maybe just off shore...my grandfather used to build boats in the 50s and 60s and those are a product of that kind of work and inside the the boat brass because they wouldn't rust In the saltwater...

I love you dude I’ve got some depression and I like have you on the tv. Tomorrow I’m hoping to do a few hours at beach in nsw Australia this will be my second time ever. I found 20c and a earring A few days ago. You are amazing

Congratulations on 5K. Keep up the great work Austin

Good chance for silver coins in an area with old nails. Yes the Vanquish is a solid detector. Ive only been out with it 4 times so far and it does an amazing job.

Great vid🤙🏽🤙🏽 cracked up about the done with drinking by legal age 😂😂😂😂

.83 cents to $1.00 is the current price of Lead per pound; submersible light $7.99; copper ship nail! Copper sheathing and copper nails prevented saltwater corrosion to ships and also was a bio-shield to prevent sea organisms from getting at the wood..

Keep rolling those videos! Thanks

At least you’re getting all scrap off the beach!

Love the Vanquish! One of the best detector's on the market!

They used copper Square nails in boat building and repairs they also used thin lead sheets to cover leaks in boats and used copper Square nails to nail the lead sheets in place. You might research boat wrecks around your area sometimes they have maps for approximate location of ships wrecks and what they might be carrying like they do for the east Coast of Florida. They still make copper nails but I would say the ones you have found are very old. If you have a library near you it might have the research material to the age the nails you found.

Enjoyed the video

That is a lot of digging..

think that might be the front of a two-piece button. glad you got the nails, probably saved some kid from getting one in his foot !

Those nails are definitely shipwreck square nails. Nice hunt!👍😃

Noice hunt Austin 👏🏾🤙🏾👍. Go the vanquish. I found my first military badges with my 540 this month. A ww1 infantry and a silver ww2 badge. The silver rung up 30. I'm in New Zealand so different badges to you guys i would suspect. But stoked as. Appreciate yr vids bro

Copper nails were used in old wooden boat building - they don't rust

Copper nails. Used in boat building, and some type of construction like roofing and flashing installation

That’s a underwater tea lite battery up to 48 hours . What a fun find. Approximate Cost $1.67

That’s a nice nail

Very unique nails. The water is so clear. Good hunt. The metal disc with the design is very cool.

The 'button' that you have found appears to be a pre roman Celtic stater. If it is not a modern repro, it does beg the question as to how it ended up in the US. If genuine, it is well over 2000 years old, and is found all over western Europe

Somewhere along the Gulf Coast of FL there is supposed to be a buried ship wreck on a what was during the Pirate days a Cresent shaped Island. The ship was full of Spanish treasure. I barely remember the story but I believe it came from two captured pirates who tried to trade the tale for their lives. I think they were hung anyways and it's not known if they were telling the truth. Those nails could be from any old boat however. Great finds! I'd hit the water off shore and dig everything to see if there is a wreck and what kind. A shrimper in my area has some silver bars he found somewhere. So there is stuff around here.

New sub ! Liked 😀❤️✌️

Newbies. LMAO times change as you understand tones and frequencies good luck young man

Hello Austin

That button thing - “Could be Roman, Tony!”

It’s a tea light for pools ,hot tubs

Here in Canada on my 3 tone machine i dig up lots of iron signal cuz thats were are coins come in. 1800 are mostly silver. All in all i dont mind ive bine getting old pocket knifes in the woods an in parks an one less nail for sone one to step on is a good day👍🇨🇦

scrap lead .25 to .45 cents a pound. I think those nails are from boats. There are nail history and types and what they were used for on the Internet also when certain styles were in use and when they stopped using or making certain styles also a picture showing all different types that you could match yours up to.Google- Antique wooden forged and cut nail age and use. That water light could be a type of bobber when it goes under the light disappears so you know a fish is biting a night fishing thing.

Hi Austin.. gr8 to see the Vanquish in action.. cool finds for sure.. that LED flashing light.. personally I would not have dug that signal up.. i,m impressed, always learn something watching you..👌👍💪🤠 cool you find those sharp objects... could save someone from a nasty wound...😎Nails could have come from an old ship? wood washed up?

Beach hunting is always fun. Unfortunately the nails and glass. Brave going barefoot. Thanks for sharing!! Subscribed 😀

I've got the Vanquish 440, I love it, very easy to use.

Those nails look like square nails to me. Probably late 1800's and hand forged. Nice recoverys...

Brother the copper nails were made for ship/boat building. They stopped making square nails in the 1880s. The square headed ones were machine made. They made machine ones the last few years

Copper nails are used in maritime applications due to their resistance to salt water

Dude its a hot spot.And yes it dose look to be whole lot of hand foraged and hand made and made of brass it seem to be used in salt water environment.Carefull there may be something to it and worth the investigation might be close to an area were a ship was ran aground it is last resort when on a sinking ship. Over the years stuff get washed up .And shore line dose change keep under hat and investigat.👍🙂..

Congratulations on 5,000 subscribers. /Richard

Nice I just purchased a vanquish 440 for my daughter to detect with me I have a nox 800

I NEVER go metal detecting in bare feet....and those nails, broken glass & fishing hook are why! Dangerous man!

Hello ... Why si your backlight screen blue? ... Mine is red, I have the 540 vanquish and can't change the color to blue as yours ♥️

Looks like flint

lead is 1.18 per pound

Probably used in building wooden boats of the mid to early 20th century.Probably made of bronze.Lead at scrap yard about .40 cents a pound.

Austin what sand scoop do you use ???

Jeez Am I the only one who isn’t a serious metal detector guy

Gees to much scrap!

Lead is about $2150 per ton…🤣

Todays price for solid lead scrap = $0.75/lb

Could have been a pier there at one time.
