the Wedge | Metal Detecting Beach
Рет қаралды 7,974
2 жыл бұрынJoin me as I metal detect the Wedge in Newport Beach California, I find a lot of old crusty coins and 2 rings while treasure hunting. The ocean was really calm for being at the Wedge and it gave us great opportunities to beach metal detect areas that we normally would not have access too.
Irene and Andrew join me on this hunt though I did start a lot earlier due to being unable to sleep. My dog Haley was extra cuddly because her mother (my daughter) was at the Hospital giving birth to a 8lb baby boy.

Irene and I treasure hunt using a Minelab Equinox 800 and Andrew uses a Minelab Excalibur II.
I would like to thank the CKG Scoop company for providing me with such an awesome beach scoop. I was really missing Old Rusty and to have something almost identical is like having my old friend and gold magnet back.

You made a great point here and proved it at the same time. A metal Detector will detect metal, that's100% certain. I think the failure mostly is the I.D. of the items from the machine. The machine called your last dig a penny and it was a padlock. Its seems alot of your targets land in the 5-7 , 13-15 , 23-27 , and 30-35ish ranges. It gives a general idea but the end result changes. Was over at JJ james channel watching a couple of his dig with that expensive CTX machine. Hit a target at around 8-9 inch , sounded great , pulled out a big iron nail. Even with that expensive machine is didnt know it was a nail. When I had my CZ-3D (14 years ago roughly) same thing pretty much happened to me. Kind of knew what it was from the sound and how the machine was acting with cross sweeping, result was a flip of a coin. Pretty much dig them all(within reason) you never know what you get but you can be certain the metal detector knows its metal but doesnt know its a modelo cap.

Hello,I have been watching ur videos for a short while now. I really luv the way you guys have such a good time and clean the beach as well. I also notice u get quite a few pull tabs and I don’t know what u do with them but if u don’t have a use already and u have a Childrens hospital and a Ronald McDonald House they take pull tabs or rather they do in Texas one gallon is worth 50 to 60 I think to them just a suggestion luv the video’s.

@panthercityoutdoors 2 жыл бұрын
just curious why you nevet use a pinpointer to locate frustrating targets? When I find a deep target, I stick my pinpointer in the hole to see where i need to dig next. If I didnt use my PP, I'd have a hard time locating those tiny earrings. thanks for posting.
@funwithjim 2 жыл бұрын
a true Old School Beach detectorist does not use a pin pointer on the beach. I have never used one on the beach however I would recommend to everyone that they do. Thank you!
@panthercityoutdoors 2 жыл бұрын
@@funwithjim maybe, but you could also say they dont use modern digital detectors or lightweight scoops. If the old school guys had access to pinpointers 30-40 years ago, I can bet theyd use them. anyway thanks again
@funwithjim 2 жыл бұрын
35+ years ago we had pinpointers, I still have my bulls eye. Beside everyone that I grew up with detecting the beaches KNOWS this rule, NO pinpointers on the beach. My dad would smack me in the back of the head just for the thought of using one on the beach, however we always used one in the desert.

@@funwithjim OK, my mistake. I keep hearing you refer to "zinc" pennies, which is what some people call the steel pennies which were minted during WW2. I've been collecting the WW2 (steel) pennies all my life (found most of them in OK and TX). So, what are the "zinc" pennies you're referring to?
