Thanksgiving!?!? LOL! Great you met some fans! Best find of the day I’d say! Family and friends! I hope you and yours had a couple of great holidays! Next week is the new year 🎉!🎉! Enjoy!!
You had a great day. You met a couple of your fans, you guys laughed and talked. That makes a great day. Love the story about the red pull tab. Can't wait for the next video. I also hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
I just ran across your channel and enjoy your vids. I started out in 1968 and live in Alabama. Still like to go to the gulf whenever I can. Gotta love that soft white sand from Mobile on across the panhandle! Best of luck to ya!
Great show Mr Shawn I wished I could afford a metal detector one day hopefully I had a stroke in February feel better now but no funds hopefully within a year I can God bless everyone and keep up the good work 🙏
@DetectFlorida Yes. With zero corrosion, I figured it had been lost by some college kid (all our beaches here are college party beaches) on the Saturday, before the Monday I was there.
Be careful! Your new nickname may be 'Red Pulltab' Shawn 😂 Yay on seeing Minnesotans there! 👍 Nice little pulltab hunt. Very nice ring! Keep on keeping on! ❤️😊👍
I only saw your your videos for the first time last week. Heard that you were from Buffalo! I live in Lewiston, NY and have been detecting since a trip to Florida in March 1967. Have found a number of relics as you mentioned but was always drawn to the Sarasota area to detect, anytime I traveled to Florida! Thanks for the neat videos!
Hello from the UK, my wife lost her 9K gold watch on South Beach (20 years ago). Location front of G.Versace's house, about 7/10 yards from the shoreline, if you are arund there one day look it up. Andy
Shawn, I don’t know why but I haven’t been getting notifications when you upload a new video. I just now found this one from Thanksgiving! I guess I will have to keep checking back to see if you have a new video. Anyway, your favorite thing lots of pull tabs! Lol
Love watching your videos. Has my 1st attempt at detecting on our Aug/Sept Indian Shores vacation. Only found a few tent stakes before idalia came to town
Sometimes you can just hit the edge of the tone and they will sound a little off. Ot works better for bottle caps. I still dig them too usually, unless there's a ton of targets
This is not a troll.. I'm actually subbed to your excellent site.. However, you mentioned the" ruff" surf there, I have to compare that Southern CA beach surf to the Central Florida Atlantic surf.. Just be grateful for the warm Florida currents... The Pacific is downright cold no matter what beach you're on...Up on the Beautiful Monterey Bay you can keep your soda,ect, nice and cool..🥶 I'm currently living in St Petersburg FL right now and, going back to California is not gonna happen... Love Florida... 🤗🕊️ PS the red pull tabs are going to cause you nightmares 😂!!!!!
I don't envy the beach detectorists over there on the west coast! Its rare that I can't hunt the water here. I just have to know my limits and be safe about it! Even though its much calmer here, people get sucked out into the gulf pretty regularly
There needs to be a fine for people who are spotted tossing pull tabs onto the beach or into the water. What do you guys think? $50? $100? $1000? It's illegal littering that can cut your foot.
I love watching you and it got me into the hobby. I have an equinox 800. Is there any type of earbuds or bone conduction headphones for this machine because my minelab headphones work great but they are so hot
@@DetectFlorida Shawn, you mentioned you used a shorter black antenna. I was trying to obtain a shorter cable. The dive cable is only around 25 inches Long which would not be long enough. Is there one available that's in between the dive antenna and the regular antenna? I cannot find one.
Is pulling off pull tabs like an east vs west coast difference. Like soda vs pop? lol I have never met anyone on the west coast that pulls those all the way off. Or do they just fall off when left on the beach?
Sorry I wrote that comment before the video was over. Not busting you about the pull tabs. I just always love hearing you say “it’s another freakin pull tab”
Haha! They go right in the recycling bin! I would collect them, but you should see the boxes of crap that I have from metal detecting!! Cell phones, sunglasses, vapes, hot wheels cars....
@@DetectFlorida interesting. Does the metal detector only indicate the type of metal? Like, couldnt you just set it to ignore aluminum since pull tabs are just aluminum?
I’ll never understand why people remove pull tabs from cans. They don’t just fall off. You have to remove them. They used to have to be pulled off to get the drink out and people would choke on them. So the companies changed the design, and now people make an effort to remove them so they can still have the same choking hazard. 🙄 I’ve never thought of doing that in my life and it seems like it makes things so much harder for metal detecting and creates litter for no reason. I’m sure they also get swallowed by wildlife or fish, seeing as fish will swallow a reflective lure. Is it just a nervous habit? Is it just a way of littering even more? I don’t get it.
Love watching your videos. I’m wanting to get started in detecting, but not sure where to begin. Do you have any videos for beginners? Equipment recommendations that don’t cost a lot, but get decent results and can work in water? I like your scoop, but I see it’s expensive on the company website. Any recommendations on one that would be similar and good quality? Thanks.
Thank you! I'll be working on some Beach Hunting 101 videos in the near future. If you're wanting to hunt saltwater, you can't really get away with a cheap machine. You'd be looking at a Nokta Legend or a Minelab Equinox at the very minimum. A good machine will pay itself off quickly if you use it enough! As far as a scoop recommendation goes, I can't really suggest one that's cheaper. When I use the cheaper ones in the water, they drive me crazy. I spend more time trying to retrieve my targets than I do actually metal detecting! Hope that helps!

I will never, ever be able to look at another pull tab without hearing your voice in my head: "Freakin' pull tab!"
😂😂😂
You are the King of Pull Tabs! But I love watching you and love it when you find jewelry and get it back to the owners. You are awesome!!
Cleaning the beaches one pull tab at a time! Love watching these.
Love it❤ thanks so much for including us:)😊

The day of “the red pull tab” - fun story 😊
That's a beautiful ring. Always a good day when you find a ring. Awesome that you met up with some followers 👍
Great father/son hunt!!!
You had a great day. You met a couple of your fans, you guys laughed and talked. That makes a great day. Love the story about the red pull tab. Can't wait for the next video. I also hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
They took me out for dinner after, too!! Such wonderful people!
❤️ Love that you fill the holes.
That's a great story at the end haha poor thing I'm glad you finally found it!
Certainly a very nice ring for Thanksgiving

Lol I find lots of pull tabs.Keep on digging.
Now I’m keeping my eye out for a red pull tab! Enjoyed the hunt. Best of luck out there!
Haha! I'll never look at them the same again!
We love your channel Shawn!!! We just purchased an Equinox from Digging It…. Thank you for your referral..
That's awesome!!! Good luck out there!!!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I hope you have a blessed week.
Thank you! You too!!
Nice to see and your dad.
HEY! No knocks on the Nokta! I love my Simplex! Best find was a clean Hohner harmonica :)
Nokta makes a great machine! Was the harmonica playable???
@DetectFlorida Yes. With zero corrosion, I figured it had been lost by some college kid (all our beaches here are college party beaches) on the Saturday, before the Monday I was there.
Shawn you inspired me to detect. Been out a couple times with no great success yet. Watch you all the time. Trying to catch up. 🇨🇦👍
Awesome!!! It took me almost two years to find my first gold ring. Don't give up!!
Be careful! Your new nickname may be 'Red Pulltab' Shawn 😂
Yay on seeing Minnesotans there! 👍
Nice little pulltab hunt. Very nice ring! Keep on keeping on!
❤️😊👍
Nooooo I don't like that name!!! 😂
@@DetectFlorida 🤣😂🤣
Your pull tabs reminds me of all day yesterday on a NorCal beach; rusty nails from pallets for beach fires. Your personality is infectious.
I only saw your your videos for the first time last week. Heard that you were from Buffalo! I live in Lewiston, NY and have been detecting since a trip to Florida in March 1967. Have found a number of relics as you mentioned but was always drawn to the Sarasota area to detect, anytime I traveled to Florida! Thanks for the neat videos!
Not far from where I grew up! I wish I had gotten into detecting while I lived up there
Love your videos Shawn! It’s freezing where I live…makes me feel like it’s warm outside watching your channel!
You’re the king in my book b
Fun Thanksgiving hunt!
Hiya DF, super cool video job good job so please keep them coming GL&HH coming from Dulwich London England(✌peace✌)
Great channel, just subbed
Thanks!
Nice hunt, stay safe.
Hello from the UK, my wife lost her 9K gold watch on South Beach (20 years ago). Location front of G.Versace's house, about 7/10 yards from the shoreline, if you are arund there one day look it up. Andy
I'm actually going to be there in a few weeks. It would be a miracle, but it would be awesome to find it!
Minnesota gang!! Much love
I’m getting my beach fix from your videos… nice day even if you didn’t find a great treasure. ❤Glad you had a good Thanksgiving…
Shawn, I don’t know why but I haven’t been getting notifications when you upload a new video. I just now found this one from Thanksgiving! I guess I will have to keep checking back to see if you have a new video. Anyway, your favorite thing lots of pull tabs! Lol
Hmmm. Make sure the little bell icon is selected. There's wayyyyy too many pull tabs out there! haha
I just love your videos you are so cool❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!
You are the pull-tab master!!!
It’s ashame pulltabs are worthless or you could be very wealthy !!
Haha! If only!!
Nice hunt
👍👍👍

Greetings from Chicago 🖖🖖🖖🖖
Find of the day..... a red pull tab.
Ughhhhhhhhhh lol
I'll be down there in November hopefully I can find me some lost treasure from the 1715
Theres a way to tell the pull tabs on the deus sometimes but i usually dig them just in case
That tungsten ring was the exact same VDI as all of those pull tabs I was digging. As much as I despise pull tabs, I have to dig them!
Sometimes you can just hit the edge of the tone and they will sound a little off. Ot works better for bottle caps. I still dig them too usually, unless there's a ton of targets
its all for the pull tabs ;)
😂
Nice hunt Shawn. Wanted to get out myself today but as usual our central New York weather does nothing but rain on the weekend's 😡
Ughh that's the worst! I'll be up there in a couple of weeks!
@@DetectFlorida
Nice I'm guessing you're coming to visit your sister. Maybe you could do some dirt digging 🤔🤔🤔
Well not muts thus time but greets from the Nederland

All I ever find is garbage and coins.. but did find a nice lighter, down by Miami..
That's usually what I find too lol. It usually takes a lottttt of walking before I find something good

Minelab
I'm really not sure. I prefer the full waterproof headphones to hear those super deep hits
How were you able to conceal the cord for water hunting? Great video - thanks
Thanks! I use the shorter black wire and run it straight up the shaft

Hi great day for you, It’s Thanksgiving! Oh by the way what do you do with all those freakin pull tabs lol, you should make something!
Sorry I wrote that comment before the video was over. Not busting you about the pull tabs. I just always love hearing you say “it’s another freakin pull tab”
Haha! They go right in the recycling bin! I would collect them, but you should see the boxes of crap that I have from metal detecting!! Cell phones, sunglasses, vapes, hot wheels cars....
Wouldn’t those pull tabs have pretty specific signature tones/numbers, since there’s so many of them and theyre all just made of aluminium, no?
like so you could differentiate from more valuable objects well?
They vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and age
@@DetectFlorida interesting. Does the metal detector only indicate the type of metal? Like, couldnt you just set it to ignore aluminum since pull tabs are just aluminum?
Do you Scrap your finds ?

What is your record for pull tabs
Hey man great content I want to start doing this! What kind of metal detector do you use?
Thank you! I'm using the XP Deus II in this video
@@DetectFlorida ya man! That thing is nice I plan on getting one but is there a cheaper but decent one you would recommend?!
How do you like the deus 2 so far
I really like it so far. It desperately needs a carbon fiber lower shaft, but other than that I'm very pleased!
Hi. I live in California. Can I Metal detect there ? Can they post do not meltal detect at the beach
I have no idea. Metal detecting laws usually change from county to county. County laws about metal detecting are usually listed online. Good luck!!
@@DetectFlorida Thank you for that information. I'll look it up. Have a great day 😀
I hate pull tabs.!
