Come and join me on this beach metal detecting adventure, as we walk along the shoreline in search of targets with my Nokta Legend metal detector. There was a definite theme with the 'treasure' spills today! 😆

A brass wing nut is likely quite a rare find as I don't think they'll often be made out of brass these days. It may be good for use in somebody's restoration project to be fair.

$3.00 lb for lead? I dug a 10 lb ingot or billet and tons of several lb chunks from duck decoys with God only knows how much other lead I've accumulated. Unfortunately lead is only worth about .40 - .45 cents a lb. I'm pretty sure copper is around $3.00 lb though

Thanks Marta! The fishermen won’t be happy with me, these are destined to be melted back down into diving weights. Nothing against sustainable fishing folk of course, but if I can help people get into the ocean as snorkellers and divers, I believe I can help them to appreciate the natural wonders we have beneath the surface.

Nice hunt. Do you have enough lead now? ;-) I had a coin spill similar to this at a playground this week. I pulled 31 coins out of less than a meter, square. Crazy! Kid lost his entire piggy bank on the playground. Does that trick with raising the detector above the ground also hold true with the Equinox?

@DirtFishMish Жыл бұрын

Hi Marti! Congrats on the coin spill, that sounds like it would've been so much fun to dig! I never have enough lead. 😂 But truthfully, I do enjoy removing it from the beach, lead in such significant quantities can't be good for marine life and especially not for curious children that would handle it if they found it in the sand. Re: raising the detector, was this with regard to detecting cans? (Sorry, I can't remember what I was referencing in the video) If that's the case then yes, it absolutely also applies to the Equinox. Aluminium cans are highly conductive and the signal will be 'heard' from further away than a lower and/or smaller conductor. Test it out, dig a few targets and see what you get 😊 Happy hunting!
