Nice hunt. Thanks for sharing. 4 lug nuts and a bracket that looks like it is the floor mount plate to an old seat belt mount. There could be a car out there
I found this exciting treasure hunt video because I am headed to Florida with my wife for the first time in our lives! We have a week full of fun at Universal and Disney but have a Saturday with nothing to do. Somethings got me interested in finding valuable things on those beaches, probably the cost of the trip. LOL. I've never been metal detecting but I would honestly love to have some fun trying it out and maybe even help pay for our vacations. We like adventure and treasure hunting, but we've never done it. I recognize the name of the beach, New Smyrna, as being one relatively close and a good metal detecting one. Is there any advice or tips or help you can offer? This is the first video I've watched of yours, do you have other videos where you talk about how to use the metal detectors, how to read the numbers, and how long to expect before finding anything? I know this won't be a quick thing, I expect to be out there for 2-3 hours, but any help would be very appreciated. Very interesting video and you guys did a great job putting up the pictures on the screen and showing what things were. Will look forward to watching more of your videos.
Hi Dallen, hope you and your wife have a great trip down to Florida! Thanks for watching and the q/comments! A lot to cover! In FL, you can detect on any beach as all are public. Finding enough to pay for your trip? That may be tough unless you hit the right spot at the right time! It does happen! Specific videos... We interject some info on many of our videos, but I don't have one yet that covers everything. New Smyrna, Daytona and a few others you can drive on and that would be best experience! Will cost you $20 for the day. If you come over from Orlando on the 44, that'll take you all the way to the beach and you can get on right at 3rd Ave. Turn left off 44 onto 3rd just after Publics/Beall's at the light. Or head down to the main area at Flagler Ave. Flagler Ave is where all the restaurants and people are and the main beach area. Drive North on the beach from 3rd and park close to Breakers or the Lifeguard tower and walk up to Flagler. Well detected, but you can find stuff. Fun shops to explore too! Detect that whole area and you should find something! What detector will you be using? You'll want a sand scoop of some sort. If you don't have one, then the Minelab Vanquish 540 that Terri uses is a good choice... Can see what we use here: www.thedetectingduo.com/our-detecting-gear/ You don't need super expensive stuff like some of what we have. But at least a very good detector like the Minelab Vanquish is a plus! It's not expensive and Terri has found many $$$$ Rings and Jewelry with it! The gauge bar at the top will help you too! Stuff can be anywhere. Dry sand is easier, but will yield much more pull tabs, bottle caps, tent stakes. Gotta dig them as they might be on top of the good stuff! The VDI/Target IDs are good indicators of what you will dig. Sound is a bigger clue. Each detector is different. The ones we use are best for anywhere and the beach. Others like Garrett AT series are not good on salty, mineral rich beaches. The VDI Target IDs and tones are different on all. Use a stock beach mode is a good start! Parks and other areas are typically off limit for most counties like Orange were Orlando is. Our county Volusia is the same. Some like Brevard down by Cocoa Beach allow park detecting (certain rules about this too.) Just a very condensed start of info here... Hope that helps! Maybe we'll see you around there... Cheers -- Scott and Terri.
@@TheDetectingDuo thank you so much there’s lots of helpful and specific information there we will get a map and plan it out! We don’t have a metal detector yet, been looking on Amazon and also Marketplace to see if we can get a used one for cheaper. We have been wary of the $50-$75 ones thinking they’re just too cheap to be any good, but also don’t want to spend more than $200 on something. We want it to be able to pay for itself although this is just a hobby and not something we will do that often. Thanks for all your tips! Great vids and editing, too! Update edit: I found a Minelab 340 on Marketplace, is that close enough to the 540?
@@dallenhaven3329 Then if you want to keep the budget way down, but get a really good detector, look to the Minelabs 340... It's the scaled down version of what Terri uses. Still uses the same technology, but not as many options. It's right at $200. The coil is still waterproof and all-around very good. amzn.to/4cPR35t Yes... All sub $150 detectors are not going to be that great. Most are rip-off copies. They work, but not the best. A few months back I reviewed both the high end (DEUS II) and cheap-o metal detectors ($100 Kaiweets) on some videos on our channel. The cheap-o one works but is big, bulky and can't find much or very deep. So consider the Minelabs one from the above link. Have fun!
Nice jewelry finds ! But the lug nuts have got to be the winners 😅. After storms here I’ve found varied car parts - headlights, tires, mirrors and other stuff (probably runoff from the nearby streams) but never a lug nut. Now I have another item to find on the old bucket list.
Hi Ed, Sometimes we find the strangest stuff! Lug Nuts is a new one! And to find that many was just wild! We find the occasional boat part but nothing like some of the stuff you've found (yet.)
@@TheDetectingDuo we have a small river, Santa Clara River, that spills out just north of us. Since the storms, a full blown flush of it has cleaned it out of a whole lot of loose brush and all sorts of trash. Last year’s storms of Jan/Feb had left 3-4 times the loose brush and trash than this year. It was a beach combers paradise and a watch where you step while strolling through beach. This year is not quite as bad but still have them weird and unusual items landing on the sand.
Good to know! Thanks! Yeah, looking them up appear to be bank sinkers. Will try to call them out as you indicated! We just call them Zeppelin's because of the balloon shape they have.
No worries. I live South of you in Melbourne Beach and use them because pyramid sinkers have that flat top that gets stuck on coquina ledges. The bank shots don’t get stuck.
Does your metal detector have a pinpoint of button? You take ages to dig things up because you can't find them. I use my pinpointer button all the time on the knox eight hundred😊
Hi Amanda. Yes we have pin-pointers on our detectors. Just depends on how the object sounds and sits in the ground when we use it. Almost always for smalls or anything that takes too long to find. On our Nox 600 and the Vanquish 540 pin-point is about the same. The DEUS Ii is a tad different. Ideally, one can pin point just by quick sweeping with the coil. So yeah, seems long in some cases when we pull a target out. We also carry pin-pointers. The XP MI-6, for example is linked to the DEUS II and on occasions you'll see Scott use it on camera. The DEUS II screen will show the pin-pointer in action (need to show that on screen some time.) Also have a Garrett Pro that is excellent to use. Thanks for the question! Cheers.
