- In this week's video, we go SCUBA diving with our new gear from Cressi (www.cressiusa.com). I make a light weather anchor snubber and also finally get a chance to take our underwater metal detector out for a spin.

Several years ago in St Martin, we met a fellow cruiser who showed us jars of coins, watches, rings & other jewelry, along with boat bits and other interesting things, that he had found with his metal detector. A lot of it came from tourists swimming or snorkeling near the beach. It was quite impressive.
That sounds very cool!
There's a video out there that someone took off a GoPro he found ... :-)
love the metal detector. please dont eliminate it from future videos.
Thanks! Hopefully I find something fun some time so we have something interesting to film :)
More treasure!
Absolutely continue with the detector
A big thumbs up for more Treasure hunting!!
It was fun to be introduced to several new characters including Mr. Light Weather Snubber, Mr. Money Maker aka Mr. Excalibur and Mr. Hooky Thing.
It's quite that cast around here ;)
I’m a native English speaker and find nothing wrong with his use of the word ‘super’. In fact, I find it super spiffy and glorious.
Haha, thank you so much :D
I agree! Super is a super useful word that I think is pretty ubiquitously understood, at least in germanic languages (which english is a member of) :)
Super is a perfectly cromulent word used in this way. I believe it embiggins the language.
His command of the English language is pretty impressive, even the slang.
You guys are a hoot! Loved the ending. 😂😂
Thanks :D
Nice break from “boat building Sunday evening” with Sail Life. 🥰
Gotta get one of those metal detectors! 😅
It's something I've always wanted do :) Who knows if I'll ever find anything other than trash ;) I hope your build is progressing smoothly :)
@@SailLife Thanks! Build is going now forward rather quickly thanks to the CNC-cut parts! 🙂
Panu, first you need to finish building the boat and then get a metal detector.
@@sheerluckholmes5468 What if I want fo find hidden treasures _in_ my boat. Like that one screw that I forgot to get off... 😅
That anchor system looks like it's holding well for dinghy in light chop but a length of chain between anchor & line might keep rope more horizontally planed on the bottom & prevent it from yanking upward when it comes tight under shock load.
Agree. About 2m of 6 or 8mm short link chain :)
15:45 - No Mads, the metal detector is exactly what we want to see. Keep at it!
Having fun things to do on a boat is always good. Don’t get rid of the metal detector. Great episode. Thank you.
When the cat’s away, the mouse will… sand. Glorious! 😂
My husband would love the underwater metal detector. We used to dive prior to Parkinson’s. Enjoy the diving.
An entertaining feel good sailing channel with stand up comedy! Next thing you know, I'll be learning how to renovate a 60' sailboat! And the introduction to marine metal detectors is right up our alley! I want to see magnetic retrieval, and dinghy anchor dragging to snare a lost outboard, and reaching your arm under big rocks to grab moray eels! You DO want to go over 150K Subscribers, right?
Hi , yes your both having fun , so the DIY can wait for a few hours and keep sailing and making your videos . 😉👍 to him and 💅 to her .
We have the same dinghy anchor and love it. We used it in the Bahamas this season, you will be glad you purchased it.
Mads your the show, it does not matter what you do. We watch you...good luck with the metal detector, I enjoy mine, just for the dream.
Oh glorious treasure hunting sounds ten times better than sanding!
Mads will only be able to enjoy this time apart because... your coming back! 😂
Very true :D
Haha, love the ending! Been following this channel for many years. Variety is the spice of life so I think you most definitively share some metal detection adventures!
Thank you so much :)
I love this glorious channel! Well done, Mads and Ava! Cheers from MICHIGAN!
I love the Metal detector. In the BVIs, off of the willy thornton you ought to find a lot of stuff.
Hilarious ending. Mads sooo happy for more glorious ....
love the metal detector. please dont eliminate it from future videos
You absolutely need to order a set of the Ansersen replacement knobs, the originals break very easily. Try the belt kit for the battery also.
Good fun at the end.
You two make me smile. Seeee youuuu!!!
You could use a butterfly knot as the slider knot just like an arborist. That way, removing the knot is super easy.
To connect the bridle to the chain, check out using a icicle knot.
Hey Mads, you're better off simply cleating off the anchor snubber, rather than spliced eyes. Then you can drop it if you need to in an emergency ;)
Next boat dream list … have the dive compressor draw air from the air conditioner. The cooler dryer air will increase the performance of the dive compressor. Or least I think so. I had a brownie brand compressor with a port in the cockpit.
That's an interesting idea :)
It might decrease the amount of condensation to remove from the compressor too!
Looking forward to seeing what you find with the metal detector.
Something tells me it's not going to be treasure right out of the gate ;)
Mads! I lost my gold wedding ring 25 years ago! It was on my honeymoon at Hilton Head island. The wife was REAL pleased with me. See if you can find it for me😂 P.S. We loved the end of the video.
This is a really interesting technique! For better surface finish try "ironing" in the slicer. It might require a few attempts to perfect but should be worth it.
There is PVA in printable filament form. I wonder if that may be useful somehow?
How did I miss you in Sint Maarten? Karen and I love you guys. ❤
Great ending, you guys are hilarious. The disappointment on every 10 year old's face when they realize metal detectors don't deliver treasure.😊
Love the metal detector! Good luck with it!
I LOVE metal detecting! Great episode. 😎🥰😎🥰😎
I think the metal detector is bang on for your channel.
LOL, great ending!
@7:16 Awesome compressor setup and good on you thinking of your neighbors! Liked, subscribed, rang the bell!
4:31 I’ve never scuba dived before, but I think it’s a good idea to make that flag a little higher so people can see you
I lived in the BVI for several years doing boat work. North Sound is a wonderful spot.
It's absolutely awesome here. I wish there was a shorter walk up to Hog Heaven but other than that 10/10 :D
I subscribed for more metal detector content.
There is an anchoring term for that.. It's called Getting Frenched!
Super episode … thanks guys … 🎉😊
Budapest ?? best city in the world !!!
Make sure you check local laws, a lot of places you can't metal detect, they don't want people taking valuables from their country, some places you can get jail time if you don't have a permit
wedding rings are a cool find. 👍👍
Hey mads, you mentioned calculating the distance of the bridle. What length of 8 strand did you end up needing?
love the 'retirement fund' the best yacht channel . thanks for the work + knowledge put into the video.
Thank you so much :)
You will want a few metres of SS chain between the anchor and rode before heading to the pacific.
Good choice of detector !
Love the new early retirement doohickey, Mads - spicey variety! just don’t strike it rich and retire the channel! As a veterinarian and proud owner of a poop gull mermaid, Ava, what was the animal you’d created that made a very brief appearance a couple weeks ago?
Hello Mads, I'm trying to track down those cam latches you used to lock your companionway stairs in place...I can't find them no matter what I search, where did you get them?
Navionics is great but you have to look at the dates of the posts to get an idea of if the point of interest is still happening
I prefer to take my snubber back to midship cleat, keeping the hook/knot out of the water, that gives me stretch and resilience, my snubber line is on the skinny, also gives me stretch, unfortunately my hook does not go to well over the roller, rope is best for that. Am still undecided about making the line that joins snubber and chain sacrificial.
Mr money maker is great. Have fun.
Thanks :D
Thank you for another great video 👍
Why is it that it is always 10mm sockets that go missing?...I just lost one down a drain last week 😆
In some parallel universe they're drowning in 10mm sockets and single socks 😂
OMG, I just realized we were anchoring in the same harbor two weeks ago...
Middle of the road metal detector? That's an Excalibur II. They go for around 1800-2000 dollars. That's not middle of the road in my book. Good hunting. If your are going to hit good targets that is the detector to do it with.
For the bridle, just make a dyneema soft shackle.
Put double siided Velcro strip over the mantis rubber piece to reinforce it and you can pull it straight into rhe deck without damaging the the rubber strap.
Liked!
@15:39 No! Not at all... Wait until you find someone's lost wedding ring and return it to them!
I looked into the ABYC certification and either didn’t look hard enough or missed something. To obtain each certification is going to cost north of $1,000. Seems pricey just for personal knowledge.
+1 on metal detecting
How can I find out more info on your plans for the carbon dinghy?
10 mm sockets would be a real treasure 😂
if you find a 10 mm socket you are one of the luckiest people in the galaxy :)
They travel to another dimension when dropped.
Looks like you need a cover for the windvane, its rubbing on the dinghy.
Only with the dinghy in the water :) When it's up there is no rubbing. Maybe at some point we'll get around to adding a swim platform - that would solve the issue :)
@@SailLife at 16:07 you can see rub marks over your shoulder.
great videography and storytelling!
When you go to the US study the maps of where treasure has been found and go there. Meaning Florida . Would be an interesting video and I bet you find some treasure. Of course read the laws for the state and federal requirements for treasure. It’s my fantasy to do that . Also visit the treasure museum in key west,
OMG, any more gizmos on that boat and it will sink!
thats why he is looking for a bigger boat :P more gizmo storage..
Get youself down to the ABC islands for diving 👍
I've heard good things :) But we also heard good things about Tobago Cays and I was not super impressed.
@@SailLife we are on Bonaire atm and was here in October also, it is very good the corals are still in very good condition, as with most things there issues here (sctld look it up it's quicker) but follow the advice and have some great dives, also the free massive salt crystals from the salt mining facility is worth the trip 😂.
If you find treasure. You can be assured that Spain will claim it!
It looks like spiffy fun and why not use a metal detector it's great
What he'll find-
Fantasy: jewelry, ancient artifacts.
Reality: rusted tools, discarded car parts and construction junk, unexploded ordinance
Excalibur Trash Finder 🎉
Use a soft shackle instead of a metal claw
I would also bring 2 bags one for trash which you will find lots of and be for treasure.
👍
You should pre record an ending with Eva to use when she is gone.
Dang it! That's a great idea but unfortunately too late :)
Nice
Thanks
That metal detector looks like a gun outta Fallout :D
Har du set tv serien? 😀
See you👍🏼🥰🇩🇰
Finding one Gold Doubloon should more than pay for a spiffy new metal detector..............................>😁👍
yup, all I need is ONE.... how hard can that be 😂😬
I think every guy secretly wants a metal detector but were all too ashamed to admit it 😅
Haha, you read my mind 😂
If you find a 10mm socket, I am missing seven of them
A metal detector wasn't off brand for /this/ channel :)
"Whoopsies!" ...lololol
It's an often heard phrase around here ;)
I'd rather see input on metal detection rather than an add for green drinks or vpns.
Hej mads.
Jeg er meget interesseret hvis du skal sælge Athena på et tidspunkt
Ohøj 🙂 Tusind tak! Vi er ikke helt klar endnu men på et eller andet tidspunkt sker det 🙂
Just checking to see if I was standing on plastic.
Don't let your gard down and get 2 comfy..thats when they cheat
You're more likely to find gold than the elusive 10mm...
I don't think it is a hurricane that did the coral in, more likely global warming taking its toll. 😭
I'm pretty sure it's the hurricane in this case :) I've seen photos of other coral around here that looks healthy and happy :)
Zero chance of finding the 10mm… nobody finds them. It’s a different dimension they travel to.
You just can't get the staff these days, can you.
Mads i do not understand where you keep all you gadgets. In an ealier episode i sugjestet you could dig a cellear i your boat. I can se you did not follow my expert ide. So maybe a smal bardge you could drag after Athena woud be a solution, to stowe all your gadgets, 🙃
well unfortunately you are going to have to wait a month before using the detector again.. no diving alone
Funny thing, the USCG and DAN both looked into that back in the 1980's. They looked at accidents and fatalities and discovered that using the buddy system only ensures that divers DIE IN PAIRS as they try to help each other or themselves.
Which part of the reason some dive associations now offer "$olo diving" certifications. My old diving buddy had to accept a random buddy one night when I couldn't make a boat dive. The random guy managed to hit an autoinflator, zoom up, and my friend said that's the last time he wants to hear about buddies being safer.
Diving solo may or may not be safer than diving with a buddy. It depends more on how well you've been trained and who you're diving with.
Do you not have any adjectives besides "super"? As a native English speaker your overuse of this word is irritating to say the least.
In Danish we tend to use "super" a lot - perhaps it's a hard habit to break.
"Super" has almost replaced "very" in common use. Nobody is ever "very excited" any more. I prefer the English understatement "quite excited" which translated to American English means "very excited"
@@SailLife However, interestingly, when the statement is about something negative, "very" is still used. For example, "This made me very angry" not "This made me super angry". :)
Note that Mads often uses the word "super" as an adverb, the kind that modifies an adjective. In this manner he is mixing things up a bit. Please consider practicing those people skills that must be learned to get along with the 8 billion plus people around you. That would be super. Thanks so much.
Excelsior trash finder ❤
Mads is the Government going to replant the Bare area withNew live 🪸? Enjoy you Metal Detector. Mads check out Matt at Duracell! This may be an Option for your Next Sailboat restore .
Metal detectors..diving...and sailing is the perfect combination....let the fun begin..
