  • My heart starts racing whenever I find old jewelry like this! It means that just about anything is possible to find when you're in an area like this!!! That is... unless your equipment fails you in the worst way possible!

    Despite de equipment failure it was a great hunt. Love how you appreciate finding quarters! Plus, your feedback will be invaluable to the makers of the shaft. Not a lost day by any means.

      I'm the person who makes those shafts now haha. They're made out of solid carbon fiber rather than the aluminum one that was used in this video

      I've been up in the air about doing that. I know that most of my viewers are good people, but I don't want the wrong person to think that they'll find out where I live and break in

      My advice is do not! Someone got 10k of tbeir Barbie doll collection stolen by posting them...Luckily she caught them in the act, called the Sherrif, they fled, were caught and luckily she got her collection back. Put them in the bank safety box...​@DetectFlorida

      I actually found a French copper shipwreck coin not far from here a few days later. I didn't realize until I dumped my pouch out and heard a coin hit the table that didn't sound like the rest of the coins.

    I love that old silver ring! I wonder if that’s a topaz stone? Your silver bracelet definitely has sapphires in it. I’m so sorry the shaft broke on the first time out. I kind of figured that’s what the tragedy was going to be. Thank you for a great video

  • @metaldetecting00

    wow I thought carbon fiber would be tougher than that

    • @DetectFlorida
      @DetectFlorida  2 года назад

      It was the aluminum upper shaft that broke. Either a carbon upper, or a solid aluminum upper would be much better than that thin walled aluminum that was used

    • @DetectFlorida
      @DetectFlorida  10 дней назад +1

      You’ve got that right! That was just a prototype shaft made from aluminum. I actually purchased the company that makes them, and I make them out of carbon fiber now. There’s about 100 of them out in use, and I haven’t had one fail yet 😎

      I just heard back from Owl Engineering. He made a new upper shaft with a carbon fiber sleeve fitted inside. We'll see how it holds up

    I was really skeptical when it came to those shafts but hopefully you'll get a replacement soon. I'm curious if you would be interested in trying some different headphones? I have some prototypes that are being put out into the field now.

    • @DetectFlorida
