As a detectorist since the 1970's ...I fill those holes in the parks or parking areas. You are correct, I know nothing about beach hunting but I see you fill your holes many times. I also see mother nature fill some in for you. I can't see behind you so no one else can either! Keep up the great videos!
Back in the 70s we had respect for others. And weren’t so thin skinned. This kid will get it when a jogger grabs hold of him on the beach. See how sarcastic he is then. Sounds like a white wine drinker.
I love your videos. The idea that you get criticized on your own videos is just crazy! Some people were not taught manners. I watch your videos to learn not to hope you make a mistake so I can point it out! Keep up the good work.
Enjoyed the hunt very much. Thank you for teaching us about the beach and how to read it. Thank you for teaching us all about beach/ metal detecting etiquette. WYDI- silver ring.
Hey Jim. I was looking back on my old Facebook videos trying to find a page from you. I’m really curious, why do the California beach hunters seem to find so much gold and old coins all the time? I wonder if you have a theory? thanks so much for answering and thanks for putting out these great videos. I have to say I do miss the beautiful surfer images you used to put on your thumbnails.
Southern California beaches have high volume of people year round and the surf is very strong. As far as old coins, it is very rare to find silver coins unless a large swell created a nice exposed treasure patch aka collection area.
One nice thing about detecting ocean beaches is that you can come back another day and the waves may have brought you new stuff besides what the people drop! For the wydi, I'm guessing silver ring.
Where would I find a source for the Etiquette you speak of? I’ve only watched a few of your type videos and it has been mentioned that metal detectors fill holes. Now, I hear there are actually forms of etiquette that I should be aware of should I have an opportunity to get into your hobby/sport. Thank you.
etiquette is subjective but fill your holes unless the ocean is doing it for you, take everything you dig with you & dispose in trash cans not just dump back on the ground. If someone is gridding an area, give them the distance they need to continue to grid. That about sums it up, go have fun and enjoy the time on the beach.
Is that an X-Tera Pro? Have not had much time to learn mine I had a Garett AT Pro but the coil went bad. Any tips for the Minelab Machine? Great video as well I live in Michigan and just a few miles from lake Michigan and the beaches. Thanks` again for the video.
Jim...you are a genuine gentleman. You fill your digs religiously You even care about the bees and sand crabs! You lead by example. BTW...I love your " gold dance"!! WYDI....Bobby pin?
Is it legal to detect on the beach without permission? Also, does your detector have to be water proof to use in and near water? New subscriber! Can you do a video showing what equipment you should have with you? Please
Great video Jim ! And you are a def pro at this. These arm chair quarterbacks are the haters out there that are the ones that know nothing about beach detecting. I have never seen you leave an open hole anywhere. Keep swingin and keep up the great videos. We will cross paths sometime at the beach
Great Hunt, Jim. Gold ring happy dance in your vid was great!!! Congrats! Listen, Trolls always comment dumb stuff on my holes too--mulch even. Pay Them no mind. I Love watching you dig sand--i dig dirt & mud. I'm on Lake Erie (not tidal) which has constant waves however; legally, we can only dig beaches Oct.-May here Boo! I would love to dig a beach right now! Thanks for taking us along. It is Fun w/ Jim! thanks
Nice to see Hailey helping you , dime or copper one cent would be normal guess but than we are dealing with Jim so I am going to say that 22-K bangle bracelet .
Being that I detect a lot of parks I would say that is a silver ring. As for the hole's thing, there will always be people that have something negative to say. I think common sense is lacking a bit in this day and age, there's a lot of factors that go into whether I fill my holes or not, some people will never understand. You can lead a horse to water but never make it drink. Keep up the good work and congrats on the finds!
I hope you can become accustomed to negative comments and not feel ou have to react to them. And if you do feel you need to respond, I hope you can respond without getting angry. Because that is exactly what people who make nasty comments are seeking.
Hi Jim, nice finds this week! You should rant more often if you're going to hit targets like that!!I think that this week's dig it is a stainless steel ring!
That isn’t a bottle opener. I have a bunch of them. They were very much used during the height of Covid to push elevator buttons or bells. The hook was for opening doors, and it kept you from touching contaminated places.
I do get people that want to see what I just dug but I do not offer up showing anyone except friends what I have found. Never has anyone ever tried to claim something while on the beach.
I wouldn’t give those people the time of day about you covering your holes,they just pay attention and watch the videos!Keeping putting out your great videos n block the douches!
Holes lol our beaches loose a couple hundred thousand tons of sand each day bad weather lol were we hunt for old stuff one needs a boat to get there lol
@@brettellis1837hey thanks. Im wondering specifically about the little ref plastic piece in the center of the coil. Keeps the coil ears from breaking too easily. Couldn't imagineit being more than 20$
