You remind me of my dad. He retired to Naples, FL with my mom. He had a hobby of woodworking and loved every minute of it. You are so blessed and I wish you nothing but good tidings. You are at the very top of the list of my favorite beach hunters. I have watched your videos many times and have added a lot to my beach reading skills. Thanks for your service to your country. I spent 3 years in the US Army during the Vietnam era and know that it is not always fun and games, but it was probably the best period of my life. Hard to describe to anyone who has not experienced it. It caused me to grow up and get down to the business of getting an education after I left the Army.
John that is probably the nicest complement I have ever received. Being compared with a mans dad is high praise. Thank you and good luck out there. Terry
though I had some problem with sea water It also ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
im fairly new to metal detecting, inly a couple months in, i bought an equinox 800, tried it a few times, then came across your videos, followed your advice religiously. learing how to read the beach, sand, tides and waves. watched your video before i went to the beach yesterday, found 1 ring, and then found a 1892 Queen victoria coin with a gold chain! all thanks to your advice!!!!!!! thanks so much for your videos!!!!
great video Mr shannon ! every video is one to watch and one to learn . there is just something about the way you teach.. even if you would lie 24/7 , people would still believe you ( laughing) keep them coming , as i , and i am sure that many many more people would apreciate it . such a great hobby and the fact that every hit is a lesson to the next hit makes it worth all the effort. thanks again . happy hunts..
Was out with my dad and son detecting this past weekend at Micklers Landing and ran into a guy that reccomended your channel. Great stuff, i like your videos alot. Keep it up.
Incredibly informative films that have explained the methods much better than I've ever seen before. I live on the coast in the UK, so I'll invest in one of the Minelab Sovereigns, hopefully it works just as well on dry land. I also noted your use of a sand scoop, meaning you didn't need to bend down. Perfect for my knees and back! Thanks very much and good luck to you!!
Mike you're on the right track, the major key to success is the ability to read the beach. It's really quite simple, just common sense things. Good luck. Terry
Thank you for the education. I cam here from Treasure Talk (Fbook). I'm in Colorado , and like to find old mines, etc. on hikes. Would love to be at the beach. P.S.- I've had one shoulder surgery, I could not imagine having five, have fun & good luck Terry.
I built a heathkit detector in the late 1960's and was the only detector around besides geiger counters. I bought a radio shack model in 1971 and the 1st whites 5000d in 1976. Many whites since. I am the foremost authority on metal detecting and this guy seems to know the basics, but.... They always come back with how much they have found and I always come back with how much they missed. He concedes it's due to medical problems. Most rings are lost in chest deep water. The fingers shrink in cold water and the swimming action pulls them off, so following the tide to the surf is a good idea. I found 350 in one day at a lake erie beach that was moved in the 1940's.
Hi Terry, bought your book at Mel Fisher's place in Sebastian. New to the hobby and curious why people show trash like pop tops and other trash in the pictures of their finds for the day. Thanks, Steve.
Yes I had a pretty good year so far, Quite a few rings, a bunch of musket balls, ship spikes, one 1 reale and a ring that predates the 1715 fleet. Good luck Terry
Hopefully I see you one of these days over by the jetty. I moved out here recently on South Hutchinson Island. Thinking about investing in a metal detector. I also like to find Megalodon teeth and arrowheads.
Invest in a Nokta Makro Simplex. It very inexpensive and will out perform detectors costing three times the price! Also it's can be put under the water up to 10 feet! 🇺🇸
I always like to meet new people that share our interest in detecting. I'm a snow bird and I'm back in Minnesota for the summer. I'll be back on those beaches this fall however so give me a shout. Terry
Over by the jetty the beach has been a roading so bad we've had these onshore winds that are just eating it away. I would try searching out there the drop-off is about 7 ft
🙏Hi Terry thank you for the informative videos, they are very nice to watch. Iam just starting with detecting and iam about to buy they minelab Excalibur 2 for diving and beach hunting. Do you sir have any experience with this detector or recommendation for a good detector for under and above water ( salt ). Greetings ,Michael van der Blom from Holland 🇳🇱
Mr Oliver. I have just watched. Terry Shannon he is a veteran treasure hunter. I truly believe that you could benefit from this gentleman’s experience. Please watch. Thank you for sharing. Happy new year. I wish you all the best for the coming year.
TERRY!!! You are the Bob Ross of Metal Detecting my Friend. I have a Minelab Equinox 800, I sell all of my Jewelry if I can't find the owner. I'm saving up for the Minelab GPZ 7000 to look for gold. Please don't stop my friend you are AWESOME :-)
Faith you just made my day! Two things I thank you for your kind word and wish you the best of luck in reaching your goal soon. From one awesome person to another!!
Thanks from New Zealand Terry . You are a wonderful instructor . I especially like the creative part where you show various items along with the tone they produce, but your entire video was full of priceless information.
Love your narration! It helps me to learn about detecting as I am relatively new to the hobby and swinging a new Minelab. I had used another brand detector but just couldn’t ground balance that particular machine for beaches that were more mineralized and harder packed. I am now subscribed and loving my Minelab!
Thank you Dave it was a lot of fun putting it together and I'm glad you liked it. We enjoy a great hobby and finding treasure is only one of the benefits. Good luck. Terry
Hey Terry the first video I saw of you was hunt the treasure coast and I thought you were like my old great grandfather who would lecture you and tell you a bunch of knowledgeable information that as a 14 year old boy I would be like "yeah what ever pawpaw can we just go fishing now" Haha but then I realized hes gone and miss those lectures and you remind me of him so much that I subscribed just here le tires like my pawpaw would give so your going to be my new pawpaw and keep giving lectures keep you the good work 😭😭👋
Malachi after reading your post I have to say that I am honored. I will try to live up to the high bar your pawpaw set. Thank you Malachi and the very best to you. Terry
You're very welcome. It's just some of the things I have discovered that work for me. I truly believe that a big part of this hobby is sharing. I have made a lot of great friends. Terry
Great videos Terry! Nice pointers to hunting the beaches. Also congrats on your latest big silver find. Saw your photo in the big book at McLarty museum. Been here in Florida almost a week trying to detect the beaches and only finding a few clad and lots of fishing sinkers. Surprised I haven't run into another detectorists yet! Beaches are in terrible shape and surf is really high, but now at least I understand your comments about the mineralization. Tough to got a machine dialed in, but yes, gotta dig those faint signals. BTW, I'm using the CTX 3030 and GPX 4800. The GPX has hit targets like pennies and weighted fish hooks over 2 feet down! Again, thanks for the video and good hunting to you!
First off I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I had some medical issues but I'm back out swinging. The big silver is the goal for most of us but the window to find the good stuff is so short. I have an advantage of living on the beach and the time to really hunt. I wish you luck and one day that coin will show up. Terry
Terry this is one of my favorite videos out there on the Sovereign GT. You are an amazing beach hunter.. My wife runs the Sovereign GT and she's new with it and loves it, she must had watched this video 100 times. We will be in Florida last week in June early July we would like to meet you if you have time to detect.
Lars I'm quite a ways north of Miami on what they call the treasure coast. November through January is when I have found the beach conditions are best. Terry
Thank you. I have a friend Jerry that is very good at making videos. I enjoy his friendship and have to admit that he is the driving force on putting the videos together. We make a great team and have enjoyed a lot of adventures together. Good luck Terry
Maybe you should look into a harness like they use is Australia to help relieve the weight of detector. We are not getting any younger. Been detecting since 1968.
Your very welcome to detect along the treasure coast. I doubt I have your ring, class rings usually have a name or initial and of course the name of the school so most of them I can return. Good luck. Terry
I hope we can get together also. That is one of the big pluses of this great hobby of ours meeting people and developing friendships. Hope to see you next year. Terry
I noticed your machine had a large head.. How deep have you found items? What is the smallest and deepest most valuable find so far? What has been your best time, Day, week, Month year... How much time did you put into this? and how much value did you find? With all the hurricanes and storms will there be new items washed up to find? Those ocean swells should bring in most anything. Where do you find the high value items? Is low tied the best area and the best place to find the newly washed up items? May I suggest a show about finding the best spots and finding the most valuable items.
Dan I use the minelab soveriegn and the sef coil and have had great luck with it. I try to get out before low tide and follow the tides out. I prefer low tides but if we get extreme tides high up can really produce. I have found some high dollar items but i'm in the hobby for the fun of it and don't want to make it a job. we are planning on making another video soon. Terry
Your sovereign tones and threshhold sounds exactly like my excalibur 2. I would guess that its basically the same detector ,only difference is that the excal can go underwater.
Hey Terry! Great to see another video of yours. I always learn something from you, even on a brief RUclips. Hope to catch up with you again next season. GB & HH, Jerry
thank you for the great advise terry we can all learn your tips are awesome many blessings to you one quick question what is the deepest good target you have dug at a beach?
Kenneth when I hit an area that has a lot of targets or if I'm down to the original sand I really slow down and scrub the coil and have picked up some pretty deep targets 18 to 20 inches. Good luck. Terry
Thank you Terry for all your insight,and the willingness to share the knowledge you've collected over the years. Watching your videos,and seeing your choice on what machine you tend to lean towards has me out on the hunt for a sovereign. I have a question,and i know it may be subjective,but in your opinion which company makes the best after market coils for the Sov? Cors,s.e.f.,nel or coiltek seem to be most of what i see offered online. Thank you once again,and i hope to see more videos from you in the future.
Daniel I love the sef coil and i get incredible depths with it. I can't judge it against the other coils because in beach hunting I use only the sef. Thank you for you kind words and good luck out there. Terry
By listening to the sound of the detector you can pretty much hear it talk to you, it sounded like it was talking about each type of metal that hit on. Does that make sense to you Terry?
Watching your video is great but I notice you still swing your detector high and low not flat on the ground but it doesn't seem to bother you finding lots of stuff. good luck from another detector guy on the treasure coast.
Thanks, I’m from that area. I don’t live there now. I visit a couple times a year. Been thinking about trying this out. Maybe we could meet up when I’m in town. Where’s a good place to buy a detector??
First off I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I had some medical issues but I'm back out swinging. I have had great service from treasure mountain detectors that deal on line. The owner Ed is a great guy and will treat you right. I would love to meet up some time. Terry
Hello, Terry. I currently have never detected, and wonder if you would recommend a good first detector for use on the beach. I am about 50 miles north of you.
Granddad you have some exciting times ahead of you. I am in love with the old minelab soveriegn and it has served me very well. I believe that you would be very happy with the Garrett AT Max or Minelab has just come out with the equinox. They make the equinox in a 600 and 800 series. I believe the 600 would serve you well. If your ever in my area give me a shout. Terry
I have the Garrett AT Max and love it on the treasure coast. Love your videos Terry. Still waiting for my first big find but I know I'm close. I've searched the Jupiter Inlet through Hobe sound a few times. What to do think of that area? I hope to get further north soon. Where do you feel the most underrated area may be? No specifics if you don't feel comfortable sharing but any location tips would be great. :-)
I'm paycheck to paycheck so it's a bit outta my range...if I could I would. been diggin since 71' n found my fair share. Great Hobby! Highly recommend it, but with a decent machine.
Sam I have used the Soverign for years now on the beach. It's an incredible beach machine. I haven't tried the new 30 30 but may pick up one of the new equinox, but I have no intention of retiring the soverign. Terry
Most of the area north of the inlet is open. It's just where they have the salvage rights that the water is off limits. Glad you enjoyed the video.Terry
terry i will be on the treasure coast feb 18-21 and would love to take you to lunch one day if you are free. let me know if you can make it. great videos . GL,HH
Arthur you are absolutely right, I have a terrible swing but when I do get into stuff I slow way down and scrub the coil over lapping each swing. I just got into some ship wreck stuff last week and had a couple of great days. I have an app on my phone that keeps track of my steps and miles. When I was working this last site I was going so slow that the steps wouldn't register on my phone. That surprised me. Terry
Thank you so much Betty. I have a buddy that I hunt with and he is the expert with the video. I have told him many times that if he can make me look good he is a true artist. There is so many neat and beautiful things to see and enjoy out there if you just take the time to look and enjoy what is out there. The very best to you. Terry
Hello from Geary, thanks so much for your reply and I enjoyed your new video very much. Believe it or not I had your machine and your coil figured out before I watched your new video! I wanted to ask you if you have ever hunted over here in the Clearwater- Saint Pete Beach area with that particular rig with any success. Thanks so much again. Geary
I took one trip to the Clearwater area but I hunted in the water with my excal. I found one ring but noticed lots of competition. I had fun though but I am so hooked on the treasure coast that I don't wander that often. You have a beautiful area. Terry
Detecting was terrible until last weekend when I found a small area that was giving up some neat artifacts. I had 3 days of great detecting but it has slammed shut once again. Terry
for the clad coins I soak them over night in ammonia then tumble them. On the rings there is a gold cleaner and a silver cleaner that they sell at wal mart and again soak them over night in the appropriate cleaner. I tumble a lot of them but if they are fragile I just rub them after soaking with baking soda.
For the clad coins I soak them overnight in ammonia then tumble them. On the rings Wal mart sells both gold and silver cleaners . I soak them in the cleaner then I tumble most of them, On the real fragile rings I soak them then make a paste of baking soda and rub them until they are clean. I hope this helps. Terry
I probably have the worst swing out there. I am working on it and in my defense when I get into targets I do slow way down and scrub the coil. With the old sovereign there is a threshold feature that saves my butt. Good Luck and scrub that coil. Terry
Thank you for the kind words but I'm just a guy that loves to detect. I have made a lot of great friends because of our great hobby and that often is the real treasure. Terry
You remind me of my dad. He retired to Naples, FL with my mom. He had a hobby of woodworking and loved every minute of it. You are so blessed and I wish you nothing but good tidings. You are at the very top of the list of my favorite beach hunters. I have watched your videos many times and have added a lot to my beach reading skills. Thanks for your service to your country. I spent 3 years in the US Army during the Vietnam era and know that it is not always fun and games, but it was probably the best period of my life. Hard to describe to anyone who has not experienced it. It caused me to grow up and get down to the business of getting an education after I left the Army.
John that is probably the nicest complement I have ever received. Being compared with a mans dad is high praise. Thank you and good luck out there. Terry
Dream spot to detect, I’m going to make the trip soon!! Great video
though I had some problem with sea water It also ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
Fantastic and Fun to watch!! Thanks for sharing so many years of knowledge !!
Mr Terry, got your book on metal detecting on the treasure cost, that you for all you knowledge, what great info. Thank you, jim
Had to watch again. So much to learn from the master. ❤️
im fairly new to metal detecting, inly a couple months in, i bought an equinox 800, tried it a few times, then came across your videos, followed your advice religiously. learing how to read the beach, sand, tides and waves. watched your video before i went to the beach yesterday, found 1 ring, and then found a 1892 Queen victoria coin with a gold chain! all thanks to your advice!!!!!!! thanks so much for your videos!!!!
Watched Treasure Coast 1..and now TC 2... you got yourself another subscriber. I too, was Navy.... an airdale, up in Jacksonville. Thank you.
Great vidio, no extra words and right to the the point. Can't wait to get back out.
Thank you Ernest, your kind words are greatly appreciated. Good Luck Terry
Sir, this is the best video about beach detecting on RUclips. I'm a newby living and detecting on the beach...!
Thank you Berto, I wish you lots of luck out there. The treasure is there we just have to get lucky enough to put our coil over it. Terry
Wow! I love how you explain everything...you’re a good teacher😊
Thank you Nan you are to kind. To me a lot of the fun is sharing. I wish you the very best of luck. Terry
Terry Shannon, thank you sir😊
great video Mr shannon !
every video is one to watch and one to learn .
there is just something about the way you teach..
even if you would lie 24/7 , people would still believe you ( laughing)
keep them coming , as i , and i am sure that many many more people would apreciate it .
such a great hobby and the fact that every hit is a lesson to the next hit makes it worth all the effort.
thanks again .
happy hunts..
Masita you have me laughing. I even read you post to my wife. Thanks for the kind words and good luck. Terry
A truly great mentor, Terry you’re one of kind and hard to
find. Thank you from Houston & Thank you for your service in the Navy.
Thank you Keven, I'm glad you liked it. I am pretty lucky to have found such a great hobby. Good Luck out there. Terry
Hi keven6373 and Terry, go with both of You, great video and great hobby as well....
I have to agree Steven. I consider myself so lucky to have found something I enjoy as much as our hobby. Good luck. Terry
Always enjoy your videos Terry. Happy New year.
I have been very busy and I am late answering, sorry. Sam I wish you a Happy New year also filled with much luck. Terry
Was out with my dad and son detecting this past weekend at Micklers Landing and ran into a guy that reccomended your channel. Great stuff, i like your videos alot. Keep it up.
Thank you John, I wish you and yours the best of luck and I appreciate your kind words. Terry
Awesome. I am a little further south in Vero Beach.
Love the live digs enjoyed watching
Glad to know that the legend uses the Sovereign. I use the Sovereign XS-2 Pro and Excalibur
Incredibly informative films that have explained the methods much better than I've ever seen before.
I live on the coast in the UK, so I'll invest in one of the Minelab Sovereigns, hopefully it works just as well on dry land.
I also noted your use of a sand scoop, meaning you didn't need to bend down. Perfect for my knees and back!
Thanks very much and good luck to you!!
Scott I am so glad that you enjoyed my video and I wish you the best of luck out there detecting. Terry
Another Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for your positive comment. Greatly appreciated. Terry
This confirms what I was thinking the other day standing at the tide line looking at the scolloped pattern figuring the height of the sand.
Mike you're on the right track, the major key to success is the ability to read the beach. It's really quite simple, just common sense things. Good luck. Terry
Terry, thank you, sir. Just ordered me a detector to begin the hobby here on the Space Coast.
It really would be nice if we meet up out there sometime. I wish you luck and so glad you decided to give this great hobby a try. Terry
I rarely hunt at the beach but next time I do I`ll keep your techniques in mind. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the kind comment and the best of luck. Terry
Glad to find your channel .
Soo many others do not give any info , just " look what I found " travel logs ;(
Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it's a great hobby and I have been very fortunate. Good luck. Terry
You are an inspirational amazing man 👍🇺🇸
Thank you for the education. I cam here from Treasure Talk (Fbook). I'm in Colorado , and like to find old mines, etc. on hikes. Would love to be at the beach. P.S.- I've had one shoulder surgery, I could not imagine having five, have fun & good luck Terry.
Joe I love your comment and I wish you the best of luck. You sound like my kind of guy. Terry

I congratulate you Eric. I believe it's the fun you have finding it that is the most important. Terry
Hi Terry, bought your book at Mel Fisher's place in Sebastian. New to the hobby and curious why people show trash like pop tops and other trash in the pictures of their finds for the day.
Thanks, Steve.
Sovereign GT fantastic machine Great tips !
I agree Jeff. My Sovereigns have treated me very well and when I'm using it I know it will find what ever is down there. Terry
Yet again great advice. Thanks
Thank you once again. For an old guy I'm pretty blessed to be able to enjoy our great hobby. Good luck, Terry
Terry have you found any more Spanish fleet finds in your back yard from that old wreck site washing up??? 😎👍
Yes I had a pretty good year so far, Quite a few rings, a bunch of musket balls, ship spikes, one 1 reale and a ring that predates the 1715 fleet. Good luck Terry
Very satisfying, I will try my luck in local beaches.
The very best of luck to you, it's a great and fun hobby. Terry
Hopefully I see you one of these days over by the jetty. I moved out here recently on South Hutchinson Island. Thinking about investing in a metal detector. I also like to find Megalodon teeth and arrowheads.

I don't get down there often Seth but I do detect down there on occasion. I hope we will meet up on the beach sometime. Terry
Wisdom and intelligence. Thanks for the lessons, Mr. Shannon.
You're very welcome Bobby and thank you for the kind words. We enjoy a wonderful hobby and I wish you the best of luck. Terry
Thanks for the good advice on my local beaches. If you ever want to take a green horn out, I'd be happy to tag along.
I always like to meet new people that share our interest in detecting. I'm a snow bird and I'm back in Minnesota for the summer. I'll be back on those beaches this fall however so give me a shout. Terry
I will sir, thanks. Happy hunting in MN!
Over by the jetty the beach has been a roading so bad we've had these onshore winds that are just eating it away. I would try searching out there the drop-off is about 7 ft
I have seen that Seth. I talked to Ed at the Museum and was told that a lot of the roadway there was hauled in and built up but you never know. Terry
very good video friend, greetings and blessings
Thank you and the best of luck. Terry
🙏Hi Terry thank you for the informative videos, they are very nice to watch. Iam just starting with detecting and iam about to buy they minelab Excalibur 2 for diving and beach hunting. Do you sir have any experience with this detector or recommendation for a good detector for under and above water ( salt ). Greetings ,Michael van der Blom from Holland 🇳🇱
Mike the Excalibur is a great machine, I have owned 3 of them and they served me well. Best of luck. Terry
Mr Oliver. I have just watched. Terry Shannon he is a veteran treasure hunter. I truly believe that you could benefit from this gentleman’s experience. Please watch. Thank you for sharing. Happy new year. I wish you all the best for the coming year.
Thank you Kerry and I hope Mr. Oliver takes your advise. Terry
Just discovered you and subbed! Your suggestions so helpful! Thank you from Deltona, Fl!

Nice video. Thankyou
Thank you, I am very glad that you enjoyed the video and wish you the best of luck. Terry
Love your narration! It helps me to learn about detecting as I am relatively new to the hobby and swinging a new Minelab.

greetings from aceh keep looking and hard work will get satisfying results
I couldn't agree more. Good luck out there. Terry
Nice video partner i Got the sea Hunter Mark II 👍👍👍
Good luck, I just purchased a sea hunter but haven't used it much yet. Terry
Very informative thank you.
Thank you James for your kind words and I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Good luck Terry

Terry this is one of my favorite videos out there on the Sovereign GT. You are an amazing beach hunter.. My wife runs the Sovereign GT and she's new with it and loves it, she must had watched this video 100 times. We will be in Florida last week in June early July we would like to meet you if you have time to detect.
I would like that but I'm a snow bird and back in Minnesota for the summer. I wish you luck however and if you do well let me know. Terry
TERRY.....thanks for another Great video

Arctic I was navy 1959 to 1963 long time ago but fond memories. Thank you for your service. Terry
Hi Terry liked your video and thanks for the info. I would love to come to Miami to try some treasure hunt. When is it best time of the year to come.
Lars I'm quite a ways north of Miami on what they call the treasure coast. November through January is when I have found the beach conditions are best. Terry
Terry Shannon Thanks for reply.
But is that also good time for water hunt. i would like to do some scuba as well?
So the scoop makes the threshold hum higher and it stays there till you go over another kind of conductivity. I'm gonna try that.
It works and I am sold on it. It's just one more weapon to help put some good stuff in your pouch. Good Luck Terry
good advice, great vid, well shot, very professional!
Thank you. I have a friend Jerry that is very good at making videos. I enjoy his friendship and have to admit that he is the driving force on putting the videos together. We make a great team and have enjoyed a lot of adventures together. Good luck Terry
Love watching your videos.. learnt alot. Was just wondering what size coil you have on your gt sovereign... love the hobby...
Rick I have the big SEF coil and I get incredible depth with it but it's a heavy swing. I really enjoy the hobby and wish you the best of luck. Terry
Maybe you should look into a harness like they use is Australia to help relieve the weight of detector. We are not getting any younger. Been detecting since 1968.
Thanks. Now I want to come to the Treasure Coast and do this!! Did you find my Senior ring?
Your very welcome to detect along the treasure coast. I doubt I have your ring, class rings usually have a name or initial and of course the name of the school so most of them I can return. Good luck. Terry
Another great video, Thank you Terry.
Glad you liked it. I see from your picture of the escudo that we have the same interests. Good luck out there. Terry
great video Terry, well done. Sorry I missed you last February. I would have loved to gotten out on the beach with you, maybe next year. God bless
I hope we can get together also. That is one of the big pluses of this great hobby of ours meeting people and developing friendships. Hope to see you next year. Terry
Good video.
Thank you Don, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. Good luck Terry
I noticed your machine had a large head.. How deep have you found items? What is the smallest and deepest most valuable find so far? What has been your best time, Day, week, Month year... How much time did you put into this? and how much value did you find? With all the hurricanes and storms will there be new items washed up to find? Those ocean swells should bring in most anything. Where do you find the high value items? Is low tied the best area and the best place to find the newly washed up items? May I suggest a show about finding the best spots and finding the most valuable items.
Dan I use the minelab soveriegn and the sef coil and have had great luck with it. I try to get out before low tide and follow the tides out. I prefer low tides but if we get extreme tides high up can really produce. I have found some high dollar items but i'm in the hobby for the fun of it and don't want to make it a job. we are planning on making another video soon. Terry
I am on the same machine. I assume you have the blue box on your waist? Where did you get the attachment for that?
super video!
I watch your videos also. You're a good man and know how it's done. Thanks for the positive comment. Terry
great video thank you for the info.
You are very welcome Dwayne it was fun putting it together and I really appreciate you kind comments. Terry
Your sovereign tones and threshhold sounds exactly like my excalibur 2. I would guess that its basically the same detector ,only difference is that the excal can go underwater.
Your correct Ben they are basically the same and both great detectors. I wish you the very best of luck out there. Terry
Hey Terry! Great to see another video of yours. I always learn something from you, even on a brief RUclips. Hope to catch up with you again next season. GB & HH, Jerry
Thanks Jerry, I follow your adventures on facebook and next year for sure we have to get together. Terry
thank you for the great advise terry we can all learn your tips are awesome many blessings to you one quick question what is the deepest good target you have dug at a beach?
Kenneth when I hit an area that has a lot of targets or if I'm down to the original sand I really slow down and scrub the coil and have picked up some pretty deep targets 18 to 20 inches. Good luck. Terry
thanks terry i love watching your videos keep them coming
Thank you Terry for all your insight,and the willingness to share the knowledge you've collected over the years. Watching your videos,and seeing your choice on what machine you tend to lean towards has me out on the hunt for a sovereign. I have a question,and i know it may be subjective,but in your opinion which company makes the best after market coils for the Sov? Cors,s.e.f.,nel or coiltek seem to be most of what i see offered online. Thank you once again,and i hope to see more videos from you in the future.
Daniel I love the sef coil and i get incredible depths with it. I can't judge it against the other coils because in beach hunting I use only the sef. Thank you for you kind words and good luck out there. Terry
By listening to the sound of the detector you can pretty much hear it talk to you, it sounded like it was talking about each type of metal that hit on. Does that make sense to you Terry?
It makes a whole lot of sense and the ability to understand that is what gives you that edge. Best of Luck Deena. Terry
Watching your video is great but I notice you still swing your detector high and low not flat on the ground but it doesn't seem to bother you finding lots of stuff. good luck from another detector guy on the treasure coast.
Thanks, I’m from that area. I don’t live there now. I visit a couple times a year. Been thinking about trying this out. Maybe we could meet up when I’m in town.
Where’s a good place to buy a detector??
First off I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I had some medical issues but I'm back out swinging. I have had great service from treasure mountain detectors that deal on line. The owner Ed is a great guy and will treat you right. I would love to meet up some time. Terry
Hello, Terry. I currently have never detected, and wonder if you would recommend a good first detector for use on the beach. I am about 50 miles north of you.
Granddad you have some exciting times ahead of you. I am in love with the old minelab soveriegn and it has served me very well. I believe that you would be very happy with the Garrett AT Max or Minelab has just come out with the equinox. They make the equinox in a 600 and 800 series. I believe the 600 would serve you well. If your ever in my area give me a shout. Terry
@@terryshannon2991 , Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I have the Garrett AT Max and love it on the treasure coast. Love your videos Terry. Still waiting for my first big find but I know I'm close. I've searched the Jupiter Inlet through Hobe sound a few times. What to do think of that area? I hope to get further north soon. Where do you feel the most underrated area may be? No specifics if you don't feel comfortable sharing but any location tips would be great. :-)
I'm paycheck to paycheck so it's a bit outta my range...if I could I would. been diggin since 71' n found my fair share. Great Hobby! Highly recommend it, but with a decent machine.
Thanks for your comments and I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. Good luck and keep swinging. Terry
good info mr terry - good luck on your next spin
Great to hear from you Max. I have enjoyed your videos and adventures over the years and wish you continued good luck. Terry
Awesome video Terry . Whts your thoughts on the soverign gt ?
Sam I have used the Soverign for years now on the beach. It's an incredible beach machine. I haven't tried the new 30 30 but may pick up one of the new equinox, but I have no intention of retiring the soverign. Terry
Is is still illegal to metal detect in the water? Enjoying your videos.
Most of the area north of the inlet is open. It's just where they have the salvage rights that the water is off limits. Glad you enjoyed the video.Terry
What detector are you using today?
Great video. Love the good advice. Thank you.
Thank you Wadoman. We enjoy a great hobby and are blessed to be able to be out there. Good luck Terry
terry i will be on the treasure coast feb 18-21 and would love to take you to lunch one day if you are free. let me know if you can make it. great videos . GL,HH
Jeff my email is tshannon3@cfl.rr.com shoot me an email and I'll send you my phone number. Terry
Wow! What great tips and video footage. I thought I needed to snorkel or scuba to find lost rings!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. We enjoy a wonderful hobby and I believe a lot of the fun is sharing. Good Luck. Terry
You move so fast...i’m amazed at your finds. This is a great video and very informative.
Arthur you are absolutely right, I have a terrible swing but when I do get into stuff I slow way down and scrub the coil over lapping each swing. I just got into some ship wreck stuff last week and had a couple of great days. I have an app on my phone that keeps track of my steps and miles. When I was working this last site I was going so slow that the steps wouldn't register on my phone. That surprised me. Terry
Terry, nice work and video...thank you
John
Thank you John for the kind words. We enjoy a great hobby and I wish you all kinds of success. Terry
I met you on canova beach 11/ 4 . Hope to hear about that info soon . Thanks
Nic I sent you an email with the information. Terry
Your videos are so beautiful Sir the takes are amazing great video editing, Drone im thinking? Great way of showing the wonderful scenery! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much Betty. I have a buddy that I hunt with and he is the expert with the video. I have told him many times that if he can make me look good he is a true artist. There is so many neat and beautiful things to see and enjoy out there if you just take the time to look and enjoy what is out there. The very best to you. Terry
Love the common sense lessons
Rocky thanks for the complement, Greatly appreciated. Terry
Bravo great video indeed
Thank you. It's guys like you that make it worth while. It's a lot of fun putting them together. I wish you the best of luck. Terry
One of the best
Thanks George I appreciate the complement . Wish you the best. Terry
Really a great video, you're an excellent vlogger!
Thanks James, I really enjoy this great hobby of ours. Good luck. Terry
Good information! thank you!
Thanks again Minnie Terry
Hello from Geary, thanks so much for your reply and I enjoyed your new video very much. Believe it or not I had your machine and your coil figured out before I watched your new video! I wanted to ask you if you have ever hunted over here in the Clearwater- Saint Pete Beach area with that particular rig with any success. Thanks so much again. Geary
I took one trip to the Clearwater area but I hunted in the water with my excal. I found one ring but noticed lots of competition. I had fun though but I am so hooked on the treasure coast that I don't wander that often. You have a beautiful area. Terry
Thanks terry.
Hi Terry I hope all is going well for you. Haven;t seen you out. Nothing good is happening on the beach I suppose.
Detecting was terrible until last weekend when I found a small area that was giving up some neat artifacts. I had 3 days of great detecting but it has slammed shut once again. Terry
@@terryshannon2991 Terry......anytime... I'm ready just let me know and I'll meet you down there
How do you get the finds so clean?
for the clad coins I soak them over night in ammonia then tumble them. On the rings there is a gold cleaner and a silver cleaner that they sell at wal mart and again soak them over night in the appropriate cleaner. I tumble a lot of them but if they are fragile I just rub them after soaking with baking soda.
For the clad coins I soak them overnight in ammonia then tumble them. On the rings Wal mart sells both gold and silver cleaners . I soak them in the cleaner then I tumble most of them, On the real fragile rings I soak them then make a paste of baking soda and rub them until they are clean. I hope this helps. Terry
Nice level swing you have.......
I probably have the worst swing out there. I am working on it and in my defense when I get into targets I do slow way down and scrub the coil. With the old sovereign there is a threshold feature that saves my butt. Good Luck and scrub that coil. Terry
I would love to hunt with this guy on my next vacation.
I'm in the Melbourne area and if you see me on the beach give a hollar. Terry
You are a legengd! Hands down for you Terry
Thank you for the kind words but I'm just a guy that loves to detect. I have made a lot of great friends because of our great hobby and that often is the real treasure. Terry
