I’m ways happy to see your videos pop up! I’ve tried watching other metal detector channels, and nope, yours is the best channel on RUclips. I really enjoy tagging along with you. You are always entertaining, and I feel like we see the real you. Good finds today and seeing the Manatees was the best. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite phrase: "It's in the scoop!" While you won't get rich on the coins you find, you provide such a enjoyment for those of us at home. You're awesome!
God's gift of nature, the manatees and turtle! Beautiful! Nice cleanup of trash and weights. Gold and silver! I keep waiting for you to find some pirate treasures! 😁 Thanks for taking us on your adventure! 😊❤️👍
Of course we keep watching for your wonderful finds (and persistence) but there are added benefits that are quite pleasing too, the manatees!!!!! The turtle! The birds, even lil' fishies, that's so wonderful. Most wildlife has disappeared where I'm from, from my childhood to now, so I'm very glad you still have all that wildlife around. Those are precious and I hope they keep existing forever. I also feel a surge of joy when I see you are cleaning up the beaches from fish hooks and those pesky weights and other metal junk. It's a win-win for me!
Hello Detect Florida,my prayers go out to you and your family and friends,Hope your all doing fine after the last devastating HURRICANE came through.My prayers are with all the people affected by this storm up the eastern SEABOARD.
My latest, much needed dose of Happy! Shawn, I so appreciate you and the work that you do. Always makes me smile. Extra added bonus -- no, not the freaking pull-tabs, but those rings, shark's teeth & manatees!
My husband and I love your videos! We have just taken up metal detecting and love it! We watch your weekly videos and have learned so much. Thanks, Shawn
Thank you! I don't show all of the trash because I feel that people might get bored after I keep pulling out so much junk. I also don't want to give the impression that all I find is good stuff because people might get into the hobby thinking that's how metal detecting is. I dig sooooo much trash out of the beaches here! haha
You are so cool find happiness in everything you find. I am always hoping you find the biggest and heaviest gold ring. Thanks for taking us a long lots of fun today.
Enjoyed my first fresh Detect Florida video after binge watching I think all your other ones! Yep, you gotcha a fan for sure and I have been binge watching your SoFlo buddies as well since they produce similar content as yourself! Keep up the great hunting and can't wait to see another recovery because I find those to be the most entertaining and heart warming. Good Karma is hard to beat and you are permanently blessed with it thanks to your giving spirit that fortunately you share with all of us! Thanks for that!
Sweet hunt. I jokingly told my coworker I was watching for manatees on my visit to Clearwater this weekend and only found white, black and brown ferrel rabbits 🐇. I did find one 14 k ring on my beach hunt but really also enjoyed finding the shells 🐚 and coins (no silvers). Congrats on the 50k subs 👍🏻
Fantastic day at the beaches. I love the shark teeth & the manatees 💙💙💙 you found some a lot! Even if it wasn’t all great great treasure, the hunt was fun!! ❤❤
Hi, love that you show us other things like the Manatees and your journey..its almost a mini travelogue too. For me, in the UK, it's brill. Really like your channel and enjoy seeing both the finds you return, which is so kind, and the finds you keep. Love it.
Those manatees seemed curious about you!😅 Maybe wondering what you were doing with that big storm coming in haha. As always I really enjoyed your video. My closest Ocean coast is Oregon, so I truly appreciate the beauty and radical diversity of the two sides of our continent. ❤
I started to watch your videos las week, and now i'm waiting to have the notification for a new one! Soon will get my first metal detector , thanks for share knowledge about this amazing hobby
Great video Shawn . I love the Manatees and the turtle That was cool. I laughed when you found the big fishing weight and you said I hope my pants don’t fall off on the way out and don’t look lol😂see you next time ☮️out
With all that detecting and sun you're gonna need a nap. Long day, but the manatees were amazing. The first time I saw manatees that closely I was in a kayak and was worried about just how easily they could flip me out (they didn't, they were just curious I think) Also, so cool finding fossils. I want to learn more about that as well. I think I found the second ring or something similar. Would be easier if I could see the brand inscription. It is from a Canadian brand Heinrichs jewellery. (Variation 6mm-solid-gold-tailor-made-ring, satin finish, yellow & white gold, most likely 10kt.)
I love watching your channel. You are so nice of a person and produce great videos. I have been wanting to get into metal detecting for years. I'm retiring soon and my gift to myself is a metal detector. Going to get the Minelab Manticore. I make many trips to Florida as that is where I am from, so I hope to see you at the beach some day. I now live in Georgia, so I hope to find some Civil War stuff. I live in an area that has had a lot of Civil War activity. All the best!
That's awesome! The Manticore is an excellent choice as it works exceptionally well in water and on land. They're pricey, but if you know that it's what you really want to do, I highly recommend it!
Hello, from Louisiana. I hope Helene didn't affect you adversely. God knows the havoc it wreaked even further north of where you are. We lucked out, as Francine was mild. Just lost power for a few hours. I pray you and your dad and friends are doing well.
Thank you!! We fared pretty well through the storm. Others nearby weren't nearly as lucky. So many people lost their homes just a couple of minutes down the road :(
I lost my 200 pound solid 24k gold ring in the ocean at that beach. It’s a size 4,000. I spent a pretty penny on it, around $2 so if you could find it for me it would be very awesome so I don’t have to spend that much money again for a new one! Oh and it’s got an engraving inside that says “I love your videos, keep them up bro and keep making people happy by finding and returning their lost jewelry to them.” God bless!
Copper bits, are Cupronickel bullet jackets. The lead core is missing, which usually happens when the bullet impacts the sand behind the target, and the bits fly into the water. Likely, there was a military firing range, where they fired .50 BMG. The bounces and ricochets wound up in the water. I live near Vandenberg SFB in California, and back when the Army owned it, all the small arms ranges fired toward and into the sea. There are so many bullets and broken jackets, that the beach can look like copper pebbles.
Looked like a normal hunt for me minus the 4 rings. 🤣 Definitely about par on the sinkers though. Hey they always say you can’t find them if your not swinging over them. Nice job!
You might not find super expensive things everytime but you're doing a great service by getting all that trash out! Imagine someone walking and they cut their feet on some of that stuff! Great to get them off the beach and out the water
You should make a video of youe typical load out to go to the beach. What if any gear you like to carry with you, what you might recommend to people like myself getting into this hobby.
Hi Shawn, the last beach you were on, was it Middle Beach aka Blind Pass Beach? I’d like to know cuz of the sharks teeth finds! Great video as always! Thanks for sharing!
@@DetectFlorida Thanks Shawn! Since they did the beaches there, impossible to find any! That’s when I was told of the rejuvenation! It’s been a couple of years since it was done and it looks like it’s paid off! Time for me to take a trip over!!
Awww the manatees are saying hi. They seem like they are curious and are trying to figure out what you are doing. Do you think that the sound of the rocks and shells clacking in the scoop is attacking them?
I'm kind of shocked that people throw pull tabs in the water. You can cut your feet on those things. We should not litter, we should keep our beaches clean. Thank you for what you do and thank you for putting them in your Fanny. Pack and throwing them in the trash where they belong. I really enjoy watching you thank you for what you do
some of that copper was definitely bullet casing BUT, the way they were shredded they discharged out of battery, they were NOT in a gun when fired, hence the shredded piece you found
dude that gave you the story about dog tags was full of it lol, maybe 30 years ago when the military wasnt so soft but now days if you lost them, you could go get a new set made before anyone knew they were missing lol
I’m ways happy to see your videos pop up! I’ve tried watching other metal detector channels, and nope, yours is the best channel on RUclips. I really enjoy tagging along with you. You are always entertaining, and I feel like we see the real you. Good finds today and seeing the Manatees was the best. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! You wouldn't want to see my acting 😂
Me too❣️
Well said @kathyl5610. My brother has dementia and Detect Florida videos are his favorite!
I totally agree...
The shark teeth are so cool!! Manatees everywhere! Thanks for the great day swinging!😎😎😎
This is the best video to wake up to!! Loved the manatees!
Thank you!!! Me too!
My favorite phrase: "It's in the scoop!" While you won't get rich on the coins you find, you provide such a enjoyment for those of us at home. You're awesome!
Yeah! I was thinking he needs to make some t-shirts and merch with that phrase.
Yay…. What a Great Morning … Love your Videos!!!!
God's gift of nature, the manatees and turtle! Beautiful!
Nice cleanup of trash and weights. Gold and silver! I keep waiting for you to find some pirate treasures! 😁
Thanks for taking us on your adventure!
😊❤️👍
I loved watching the storms roll in. I live in Utah and I am so jealous of your rain.
Of course we keep watching for your wonderful finds (and persistence) but there are added benefits that are quite pleasing too, the manatees!!!!! The turtle! The birds, even lil' fishies, that's so wonderful. Most wildlife has disappeared where I'm from, from my childhood to now, so I'm very glad you still have all that wildlife around.

Enjoyed watching all the sea life ❤️ thanks for sharing
One of the few RUclipsrs i give a thumbs up before i watch the video... never disappointed.
Thank you so much!
Really love to watch your channel. No nonsense, just detecting ans some humor😊
Thanks for bringing us along! Loved the manatees!
Hello Detect Florida,my prayers go out to you and your family and friends,Hope your all doing fine after the last devastating HURRICANE came through.My prayers are with all the people affected by this storm up the eastern SEABOARD.
Another great hunt brother! Thanks for taking us along
another fun video and a nice gold find
My latest, much needed dose of Happy! Shawn, I so appreciate you and the work that you do. Always makes me smile. Extra added bonus -- no, not the freaking pull-tabs, but those rings, shark's teeth & manatees!
A gold ring! Yay! Most enjoyable, though, were the manatee herds and the happy turtle on a jaunty walk down the beach. Thanks!
Nice sea cow sighting! Very blessed they came so close. :) Thnx for sharing! :)
9 Teeth! Good for you. 😊 Hopefully you made it home before the storm. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Always a blessing.❤
Thanks for another cool video. Manatees and a turtle added bonuses
My husband and I love your videos! We have just taken up metal detecting and love it! We watch your weekly videos and have learned so much. Thanks, Shawn
That’s awesome!! Good luck out there!
@@DetectFlorida thanks! We are headed to Florida this coming weekend and are excited to detect the beaches!
Great video loving the manatees. 🫶☺️
Persistence is the key. Congrats on the gold ring. With gold over 2,600 an oz those are great finds :-)
Your perseverance was rewarded handsomely! Great job, Shawn!
Wow, shark teeth, manatees and gold rings, what a great day you had!
I enjoy your videos ! As a new detectorist, I like that you are show a lot of your finds, not just the good stuff. Keep up the good work !
Thank you! I don't show all of the trash because I feel that people might get bored after I keep pulling out so much junk. I also don't want to give the impression that all I find is good stuff because people might get into the hobby thinking that's how metal detecting is.

So great to see The manatees and sooooo close to you Shawn 😊
Love the Manatee, good video.
You are so cool find happiness in everything you find. I am always hoping you find the biggest and heaviest gold ring. Thanks for taking us a long lots of fun today.
Love your videos. Yours are the ones I don’t FF thru😊
Thank you!!
I love Manatees. So cool that you saw so many.

I love watching your videos. you're my favorite metal detector. I always get excited to watch your videos. ❤
Thank you!!
🎉Congratulations on hitting 50k subscribers!!🎉
Thank you!!
Love the pictures of the finds in the corner of the screen! I know I suggested it, but not sure if you saw my comment. Next level.

Great content start to finish-well done Shawn. 👍
Thanks Dan!
Showing support for You 🙏 please be careful. Praying for All of You 'all
Thank you for sharing the manatees with us! I'm from MN and will likely never experience the wildlife of FL up close. Your videos are great! Thanks!
Thank you!
I, have been enjoying your program. I also tried watching other videos from other detectors but you have the knack of keeping me watching. Thanks.
You were busy today! Congratulations on the gold ring!
Thank you! I wasn't going to give up until I found something!
Awesome Manatee Sundee!
Awesome show never miss it keep them coming 😀
That was funny with the NOT in the corner
Shredded copper stuff were fragments of the copper jacketing on bullets.
Those manatees seemed curious about you!😅 Maybe wondering what you were doing with that big storm coming in haha. As always I really enjoyed your video. My closest Ocean coast is Oregon, so I truly appreciate the beauty and radical diversity of the two sides of our continent. ❤
An Acme Kastmaster! That's a good fishing lure!
Love seeing the manatees!!!😊
Hubby watching F1 and I am catching up with my favourite metal detector RUclipsr.
I started to watch your videos las week, and now i'm waiting to have the notification for a new one! Soon will get my first metal detector , thanks for share knowledge about this amazing hobby
Great video Shawn . I love the Manatees and the turtle That was cool. I laughed when you found the big fishing weight and you said I hope my pants don’t fall off on the way out and don’t look lol😂see you next time ☮️out
Great day at the beaches!
Good job. I like that you clean out the junk. You are a good man. God bless
Thank you!!
aka Margo K What a treasure to be with the Manatees..Lucky you. I told you before I so miss the Ocean in Fla. take care
Loved the manatees!
The fossil you found at the 08:10 minute mark is a partial dugong rib, a common fossil find in Florida.
The only way to make your videos any better is to make them longer
Yeah longer videos on this channel I like that idea
With all that detecting and sun you're gonna need a nap. Long day, but the manatees were amazing. The first time I saw manatees that closely I was in a kayak and was worried about just how easily they could flip me out (they didn't, they were just curious I think)
Also, so cool finding fossils. I want to learn more about that as well.
I think I found the second ring or something similar. Would be easier if I could see the brand inscription. It is from a Canadian brand Heinrichs jewellery. (Variation 6mm-solid-gold-tailor-made-ring, satin finish, yellow & white gold, most likely 10kt.)

Good luck today Mr Shawn God bless everyone 🙏
I love your video and looked up for the scoop. I got shocked by their price OMG!!
Yeahhh they don't give them away, but you get what you pay for. There's nothing better!
Epic content! Congrats on your finds.
Thank you!

Hey they always say you can’t find them if your not swinging over them. Nice job!
Thank you!
Congratulations on making it to 50,000 subscribers! Here’s to making it to 100,000, eh?
You get so much shells there you should get a floating sifting basket from CKG
So enjoy your videos! I want to come to Florida to measure your biceps. All those scoops and scans❣️
Love your videos!!! So much fun! I wonder if you could say or put on the videos which beach your on. Idk if that would be too much info.
I typically don't, especially if I'm doing well. Most of the local detectorists watch my channel so they know where to search next lol
I enjoy your content and I hope your channel takes off. Have a good day!
Thank you!!
It is the copper jacket of a .50 cal slug.
That fossil @ 8:30 was a tooth from some type of mammal. :)
Hand of Fatima charm...rose gold? I used to have an identical one. 😊
Good thing you don't have it any longer, it is a Satanic symbol of Islam.
31:03 That looks like a James Avery cutout cross ring.
Totally awesome video. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you!

For a second i thought you said "gonna get some lunch and pick a NUDE beach" instea of new beach lol
Hahaha I’ve done that before! Had to be careful where the camera was pointed!
the manatees seemed to enjoy people. and everybody likes each other. I am satisfied with only seeing the teeth of sharks.
Great tips forgot to add and keep swinging for the gold.
Hi Shawn, the last beach you were on, was it Middle Beach aka Blind Pass Beach? I’d like to know cuz of the sharks teeth finds! Great video as always! Thanks for sharing!
It was manasota

FYI the pendant is a Hamsa Hand ... to ward off the evil eye..
some of that copper was definitely bullet casing BUT, the way they were shredded they discharged out of battery, they were NOT in a gun when fired, hence the shredded piece you found
It's copper jacket that has separated from the lead of bullets ( probably .50 cal), not the casing.
Awesome job 😅❤
had my necklace tested junk. some one was saying low carat gold. ,(plated). CRAP !!! 🤬. keep swinging the 900 have a good day.
Ahh that's too bad!! Better luck on the next one!
dude that gave you the story about dog tags was full of it lol, maybe 30 years ago when the military wasnt so soft but now days if you lost them, you could go get a new set made before anyone knew they were missing lol
Watching you from General Mariano Alvarez (GMA), Cavite
Philippines
Hi, Would be nice having your sea (salt) setting with the manticore(I'm a begginer) and struggling adjusting it correctly! (: thanks!
I found a pull tab in my garden rhe orher day. Guess who immediately popped into my head?! 😁
lolllllll 😂
Very cool
