- The beach had my gold and silver after the July 4th celebration in Huntington Beach, California. I found 6 rings including a gold and silver ring, gold over silver tennis bracelet with aquamarine stones, of gold cross macrame bracelet and lots of coins. I treasure hunt with a Minelab Equinox 800 with the 15" coil.

That’s gotta be a good feeling when guys come up to you on the beach and say hey! I watch all of your videos and you have taught me so much
Yes it is a great feeling, Thank you 🤙
The gold chain from the other guy was genuinely insane.
yes it is, Thank you 🤙
so are you saying it should be sectioned? 🤣
@@Kingofrestrrooms666 absolutely. Heheh
After getting my first dog I noticed that because I was looking down at him walking in front of me often, that I was also seeing the sidewalk, or the ground in the woods, or the park grounds more than I would normally. We explored some rather odd places and I found change, jewelry and several cell phones, mostly in the woods where people would sit or climb over rocks or fallen trees. One day we got caught in the rain while deep in the woods. I figured a short cut up a hill would get us home quicker. At one point I was hanging on to a scrawny little tree, while trying to climb up a wet hill, steadily being rained on. I stopped to laugh at how ridiculous this all was and at the look my dog gave me then, which cracked me up even more. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bit of a sparkle in the wet mud. I scraped around the area a bit and uncovered a gold ring with two intertwined hearts which turned out to be 10k gold. Over the years I also found a gold diamond ring in a Mall parking lot, which had been run over and squashed, a gold chain, a silver ID bracelet, a silver ring and a huge 14k white gold wedding band nestled in a load of garden stones we had delivered to our front yard. I also found a wallet with five hundred dollars in it, no ID or credit cards. A find I should have ignored was a purse with an empty wallet, make up, stuff like that, and a card for a dentist appointment with only a first name. I phoned the dentist and told them to contact the patient named on the card to let her know that I had found her purse and to call me. The woman got back to me and I walked my dog over to her apartment building which was close by. She came downstairs to meet me, went through her purse and wallet and then looked at me and asked, "Where is the money?" I told her it had obviously been taken and that I had found her purse as is. From her look I gathered that she didn't believe me. She turned and walked away. So much for a thank you. Unfortunately since this woman lived in my neighborhood I saw her a few times after that and from the looks she gave me each time, it seems she still thought I had stolen her money. On the other hand, a cell phone I found lying in the sand at the beach, netted me a fifty dollar reward from the owner. I didn't want a reward but he insisted. It was his business phone and he was incredibly happy to get it back.
That little pink character on that button was Kirby, it’s a character from a Nintendo game. Super random find 🤣🤣👌
Thank you 🤙
Good times...

No that’s kirbo 😂😂😂
@@jacksondavenport9296 no, its kirby
We metal detect the beaches all day every day now ! I found a $300.00 Platinum ring !!! And opal filled silver ! I was so sunburned, I later peeled
a sheet of leather off my neck !
Sweet find and your neck will toughen up the more you go out! Thank you 🤙
Just a note. I've owned a jewelry shop for 22 years and as gold prices have gone up many chain jewelry stores started selling and setting diamonds and gemstones in everything from 8kt gold to sterling silver. Most men's rings like the one you found are set in 10kt so they don't break as easily as 10kt is harder than 14kt. I would not assume there wasn't a black onyx or diamond in it! The stones in the bracelet are topaz ...aquamarine is incredibly expensive per carat and not set in vermeil.
Thank you 🤙
@@funwithjim your welcome....if you need any info just let me know😇
Black onyx is worthless
Hi PK, thanks for your very interesting comment I have a question for you. I was explaining to a younger person the difference between 22k 18k 10k gold etc. I said the gold is diluted with other metals like copper, Am I correct and could you please tell me in more detail what defines "K". thanks and greetings from Australia. I don't like Indian gold as its so yellow and fake looking. Is that because of the inferior metals added to pure gold ?
@@Kingofrestrrooms666 I mean, you don’t really need the help of that guy. You could look it up. K stands for karat and us the parts out of 24 that is pure gold, for example in 10 karat gold 10 parts out of every 24 are actually gold. Other metals added are silver and copper, yes.
The lesson from all this is never wear rings to the beach, lol!
Yes, I often tell people wearing expensive jewelry not have it on at the beach. Thank You 👍
my step dad used to do this; he'd take us on holiday to france each summer and he'd bring his metal detector so we'd all go looking for lost treasure together on the beach lol. so much fun as a kid finding random shinies and scattered francs lost in the sand.
Thank you 🤙
@@funwithjim Thank *you* for the nostalgia :)
I love that story!
Love the Kerby badge 😂 The blue and 925 bracelet is my favourite find. So beautiful.
Thank You 👍
Wow I’m so glad I found this channel! It’s so satisfying finding stuff and me personally I love it when I find change. I’m heading to the beach in a couple of weeks and I’m taking my metal detector I’m hoping I find some stuff wish me luck!!
Good luck and I hope you do find a lot of great stuff. Thank you 🤙
Great haul Jim 👏 what’s the worst thing a detectorist can find when he gets to the beach very early…………………….other detectorists 😂
I am used too lots of detectorists, just because they are out detecting doesn't mean anything as I find a lot of great stuff detecting behind them. They clear out high tones and I dig the iffy low tones and I still find the GOLD. So never let the thought of other detectorists on the beach as a reason not to detect. Thank You 👍
@@funwithjim totally agree, you have to walk over it to find it. Sorry if you didn't get my British sense of humour 😁
Never know what ur going to find and after the storms on the beach. Hey thanks for sharing The hunt. Have fun
Oh my God that kirby Button was just adorable
The yellow token with the pink character is Kirby from the video games
Wow! What a dream. I go “treasure hunting” in creek beds, but all I get is fossils! lol!
Sure would love to find some beautiful gold.
Super cool video Jim with loads found way to go or what, shame u didn't find that massive gold chain with diamonds encrusted in it but heyhoo maybe next time GL&HH coming from Dulwich London England ✌ peace✌
Thank you 🤙
I’m really tempted to start doing this! I used to have a detector as a child but somehow lost it, I was so sad bc I used to go to the beach all the time and I think it’s time I get back into it!
You know it's over, when it says China.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My son,wife,and i went to atlantic beach so i can medal detect and as soon as we where about to leave my son found 5 $1 bills on ground and he didnt even use my medal detector...i was mad
Lol, that happens to me all the time. Thank You 👍
True story. Some years ago, my wife and I took the kids to Galveston. I brought along my Minelab Quattro so I could detect while my wife sunbathed and the kids played in the surf. I was finding nothing but trash on the beach, bottle caps, pull tabs, foil, a few clad coins. My sons were in about waist deep water and chunking mud at each other (it's Galveston). My older son scooped up a handful of the mud and wound up with a thick men's gold wedding band in his hand. Still finding nothing but trash, when he brought it to show me, I almost broke my Quattro over my knee. He ended up taking it to a gold exchange store and used the cash to buy a skateboard and some roses for his girlfriend. Me? I traded that Quattro on Craigslist for a nice Meade telescope with tripod and a bunch of filters.
KIRBY PIN I NEED IT
Just imagine a beautiful ruby in there. Nice finds 🙂👍
Great videos Jim - I just bought a detected
B/c of your excitement when finding a ring… “it’s a ring, It’s a Ring.” Can u do a video on what u do with your finds (gold and silver)? Keep it all? Sell most of it? And if sell - your process to do so. TY
Awesome, I certainly can. Thank you 🤙
@@funwithjim yes do it please! 🙏
Love your vids Jim ... plain and simple ... tired of the dumb background music and gimmicks some folk use ... I want to hear the actual sounds of the beach... keep em coming!
I know, why would you add music over the beautiful sound of the beach, I often fall asleep editing my videos. Lol! Thank you 🤙
I need my quarter back - ty
Always said metal detecting isnt only like treasure hunting its also a great workout. )
Stuff like this makes me think about how much must be buried all around us, at any given moment. Imagine what could be hiding in your own backyard?
Most lost wedding rings happen in their own yard, Thank You 👍
I have the EXACT same blue stoned bracelet, so I knew it was not diamonds or gold when you picked it up. My grandma had me fooled for years, still pretty though.
Thank you 🤙
My best find was a white gold neck less worth about three thousand dollars,, My granddaughter is wearing it
that is an awesome find, congrats. Thank you 🤙
Around the 7 minute mark the guy said the chain has 428 Diamonds on it. He also said it was 18k. Did you see Diamonds on it? I'm watching this on my phone, and couldn't see any Diamonds. It looked like a regular Gold chain.
It was a few months ago but I do remember the Gold Bracelet it was encrusted with small diamonds from what I remember, it made me jealous I know that. Thank You 👍
@@funwithjim Right on. 😉
im late! but that weird thing at just before 4 minutes in is a pin of a character named Kirby! hes a small pink alien who eats lots of stuff! hes very cute, from nintendo! i consider you lucky to have it, i think its from hot topic or gamestop :)
Thank You 👍
I literally just started metal detecting, what do you do with your jewel finds?
Precious metals get bagged, tagged and placed into safety deposit boxes for either return or my retirement.
I have that same bracelet, except 14k plated, aquamarine and crystals. I paid $125 on QVC 20 years ago.
Thank You 👍
Get away from me Alex, would be the first thing coming out of my mouth after that ring find😅
😂🤣 His autism can become annoying but his heart is made of GOLD.
That gold piece the other guy found was custom made it would be very easy to find the owner!😮😮😮
easy to find the owner? are you sure, as I have tried for 39 years and find it extremely difficult, even with serial numbers and names.
Look at all these trolls who would Never droop a gum wrapper!, its a joke
Thank you 🤙
The Equinox 600/800 are great detectors for the price. I have the 800, and it would be hard to justify selling it in order to "upgrade" to a 900 or Manticore. I might sell my CTX 3030 and all the coils someday and get a Deus 2, but I'll never part with my 800 (or Excal 2). It will have to die on me first, or me die on it.
how do things work in us becus if you find somting white value in sweden you need to take it to the police. But you can clam it and get it in 3 monthe if noone come and gget it
In the USA it depends on the individual states law. In California if you find something over $100 in value you are suppose to turn it into the police but the Police say that is an antiquated law and to post on lost and found message board and if not claimed after 90 days it is yours.
The little funny thing is Kirby, from a computer game. Great video, will be watching more
Thank You 👍
I would like to get a metal detector! I live in Az, so the first place i would go is the Salt River, where we go tubing. Its very popular and quite busy all summer. Then I would head up to Lake Mead, ...theres bound to be some lost treasures waiting to be found! What do you think, is it worth the drive? Anyway, i really enjoy your videos, its exciting and fun watching the hunt seeing what you find! Ty,...pEaCe-0uT, lOvE!
the round thing with the pink character on the star was a kirby button pin, hes a Nintendo character
Thank You 👍
Wow you're such a good samaritan kind man returning the phone to its owner that you have found at the river..enjoy watching your vlog just a new subs.fr.Phillippines..God bless u stay safe..
Three words that shatter dreams & curl your lip
MADE IN CHINA
Such an awesome day with great findings Jim. Wow, I'd love to know what stone was in that 10k gold ring. That beautiful bracelet is also awesome. You did great and that's a long day detecting at the beach, it must get hard on your hands and wrist. Congrats on getting 7K Jim! You worked hard and had fun doing it. You've earned the 7K. I enjoyed your video as I always do. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you 🤙 🤗🤗🤗
hey there! Just found Jim. We might start doing this as well
@@TexanPicker well Texan picker you're everywhere. Made me smile when I saw you post. I love your channel too. I've commented on your channel as well. Thinking I may try this too. I'm right by surfside Beach and Bryan Beach. Looks like fun. 😁
@@roser2889 awesome! My brother in law use to have a beach house on Surf Side! Spent a few days out there enjoying the beach! I’m in the hunt for a decent metal detector. I almost bought one on Facebook but I was working so the guy sold to someone else
Hello Claudette 👋
Jim, agree with your comment about poor etiquette out there. Saw someone flying down the wet sand near the pier recently at low tide, digging holes everywhere and didn't fill one... :(
Eeew seaweed 😂 I felt that 😂
Thank you 🤙
06:50 The man you met said, "18K" on the bracelet. Usually items marked 18K are plated. 1/20 18K would mean that the item is plated with 18K gold making up a 20th of the weight.
18k without any other marks is assumed 18k but Keith did have that bracelet tested and appraised, 1/20 would be gold filled and if it had markings like 'GP,' 'GE,' or 'HGE' that would make it plated. Though I find brass items marked 18k often, we call that gas station jewelry. Lol!
quá tuyệt vời , tôi cũng là người dò tìm kim loại như bạn, chúc bạn thật nhiều niềm vui và sức khỏe
My dad and one of his buddies metal detected until he passed away ..he found a ring once that he got 800 bucks for at pawn shop..I tried it and only found 31 cents in three days..not for me
A lot of people quit because they really do not understand how, when and where to detect. detecting the dry sand after a huge event is smart, detecting an area that doesn't get busy isn't. We sand hunting takes experience and knowing the tides, currents and swells and how they move items around is important. Good Luck if you ever try again.
@@funwithjim I am thinking about it to do something with my ten year old besides getting beat up practicing jiu jitsu with him 😂😂😂
Então o que não interessa manda-se de volta para a areia ? Vergonha.
Thank You 👍
Great hunt! Congratulations on the gold and silvers. GL&HH Matt 👍
Thank You 👍
That was a huge day!
I’m a very beginner MD and I can only hope to one day be as good as you.
One big thing I learned: hit the beach immediately after a major holiday when lots of beach goers have been out.
Keep having fun MD’ing!
Busy beach leads to fun finds for sure, Thank You 👍
What are the beach open/closed times, when you’re legally allowed to be on a Pinellas County beach??
Can you believe that beach had your gold?? What a beach!!! Lol😂😅
3:45 that is a kirby pin.
Must be fun to do. But the gold and aquamarine bracelet in the beginning is costume jewelry about $10. I NEVER wear my nice jewelry to beaches or where it can be lost.
it is a lot of fun, smart not to wear you nice jewelry to the beach. Thank you 🤙
That little pink guy coin you found was Kirby. A videogame character made by Nintendo. It might be a collectors item.
Thank you 🤙
20:29 i actually have a ring like this, the chain being black, and they are really nice when you figit alot
Also i just found your channel so out of curiosity, what do you do with the stuff you find? Like the jewelry and stuff
Precious metals get placed into safety deposit boxes for either return or retirement. Thank You 👍
Question for Jim. For unique finds and those that have an inscription; do you ever try to reunite the piece with the owner?
Yes, though it is hard to do. I just returned a gold toe ring the other day and that is the first return that I have made in years. Returns earn good karma, Thank You 👍
@@funwithjim nice job! greetings from Finland!
Yes I researched all social media came up with nothing
That is a beautiful gold/topaz stone bracelet.
that guy following you with his detector was annoying me taking all your finds
😮the stuff you find! Starting early in the dark looks fun
The ring with the missing stone would be awesome with a new stone put in it, like a star ruby, or a star sapphire. Looks like a men’s ring.
Thank You 👍
Just stumbled upon your page sparks a old flame I lost my very best detector as I moved due to work and went back to my residence to find it had been broken into and my most favorite thing that was missing was my detector I'm 45 now and have come down with colon polyps as I'm unable to work me and my son spend a lot of time together I'm def gonna be saving up to get another one thanks for the inspiration
Thank you 🤙
That was a really productive hunt for about everyone. Was that the day Ferguson ran into you guys. That beach must be packed from waters edge to parking lots. Keep up the beep, good luck and happy hunting
I never have run into Robert Ferguson, though I did hear he was in Huntington at the same time but so were about 40 other detectorists. Almost everyone I talked to found at least 4 rings.
The light was red on the cross walk but that happens to me sometimes
that’s so cool I can’t imagine how exciting it is to find real treasure like this! 🖤 if I lose something I’ll let you know 😂😂 lol
Thank you 🤙
I just fount a Bicentennial Florin coin 1901-1951 here in Texas, with a 1990 3rd portrait Queen Elizabeth New Penny. Keep up the good work, love your videos.
Thank You 👍
What kind of metal detector do you use?
Minelab Equinox 800
More rings near the water for sure that’s where they lose them !!
I love the red bracelett with the rainbow beads omg, it's sooo pretty 😻
Thank You 👍
That “locking clasp” on the China bracelet didn’t work very well, did it?! 🤣 A lot of the bracelets you find, could be ankle bracelets. They are notorious for falling off!! Even the fine jewelry ones!!!!
Thank You 👍
This lucky day was on my birthday.
a button is called, Hoshino Karby, its a Japanese popular game character, could be an antic could be nothing
Thank you 🤙
i once found a shark tooth at the beach, thats about the coolest thing on the beach that i uncovered, somehow i lost it on that same day 😢
Lol! Shark lost it too! Thank you 🤙
I would love to win the sand scoop but... just in case I don't...I would like to ask your opinion on a sand scoop and pole. I'm in Texas and our beaches can be soft to hard sand. Can you recommend a scoop and pole that would be light weight and sturdy but also rust proof! I'm 5'1" so I'm kinda of short but I hunt our beaches alot and I've already broke one pole and my current scoop is showing signs of rust! ugh! Thanks, I really value your opinion!
I really like my Titanium Scoop from CKG and the Carbon Fiber shaft. Titanium won't rust and super light weight, though all carbon fiber shafts will break so learn to dig without forcing the shaft and it will not break. It has handles rocky areas, heavy sand areas and clay like wet sand, all I dig with a mindset to protect my carbon fiber shaft and that is why I hardly break them. Though they do break if forced.
Use FWJ at checkout with any product from CKG and they give you 10% off and free shipping.
Awesome morning Jim! the week long festival in town ends with fireworks tonight and this guy will be at the parks, bright and early!
as you should, Good Luck! Thank you 🤙
In my country - Slovakia - you can go to jail for up to 5 years for using metal detector. :( Even at you own land. The stupidest thing ever! There is something in us - we want to explore, discover and find new things - horrible that stupid government holds you back from doing this.
5 years in jail, that is horrible. Good Luck! Thank you 👍
It completely baffles me why people wear expensive jewellery to the beach.( I an understand wedding rings). I cant wait to see what you find this Independence Day!
Thank You 👍
Imma stArt walking around with a metal detector following drunk rich people around
Do you have any recommendations for a sand scoop? I'm a pretty big dude and I'm paranoid that I'll just break the stick part lol
CKG Tank scoop is a beast, fits almost any size handle too!
That wasnt weird...that was a kirby badge
I'm just here to tell you that the unidentified button is "Kirby", a character from Pokémon.
Thank You 👍
Some rapper lost his chain lol
Nice hunt! ❤️💕👵🌺
Thank you 🤙
My 5yo watches your videos. Now he wants a metal detector and a head lamp to look for "treasures" at the beach. I see why not, his birthday is coming up at the end of August and we love only 15 mins away from the beach.
Edit: If anybody reads this and you know a few things about metal detectors please lmk what is good on Amazon fairly priced as I don't want to get duped buying a cheapo bunk one
I started at a young age, too! Thank You 👍
So....today my hubby and I are watching this video for the 1st time. I want to say that I was born and raised in Cali and surfed on the north side of the pier...though I was raised in the hills of 91745. I live on a beautiful uncrowded beach on the Great Lakes now at 64. My heart was always here in Huntington. Prom nights walking down the pier and dancing on the pier....Grunion running....I've not been home in 34 yrs....it does me so much good to see your videos....my heart is so touched. May I also say that it was nice that this one gentleman picked up glasses that you found...but I got pissed when he came over detected the ring in YOUR spot and he kept it...GRRRR Both of us got mad. Anyway...I we get so tickled when you score. Thank you so much for cleaning up the beaches as you go...We don't watch anybody else. We love you kind personality and you are funny. Thank you for going through all the trouble to share. We just love you!
The Great Lakes are beautiful too, but I prefer the weather in HB. Glad you are enjoying my content, Thank you 🤙
Nice My mom's husband had one when I was a kid I always found money once I found a nice ring with a big rock Gave it to my mom I was lucky Not with his detector I wasn't allowed to use it lol
Thank you 🤙
enak betul lokasi ya bang metal luwar emng jos 👍🥰❤❤❤
You have such decorum when it comes to others stealing the limelight. I can hear your disappointment but thumbs up from me.
Thank You 👍
Where ist the beach??
Huntington Beach, California
if your calf is killing you, then kill it cook it and eat it keep it mother for milking.
Lol, Thank You 👍
This looks like a really fun hobby but as someone who has had their wedding ring stolen I think I would just feel too guilty to be able to do this.
But, do you know how many wedding rings I have returned over the last 38 years? Good karma allows for good finds too! Thank you 🤙
@@funwithjim I’m so glad you return them, you’re such a good guy
How do you find the owners? A vid of a return would be cool!! New subscriber, and now probably soon to be a new treasure hunter? What would you call a person with this hobby? All the best in your finds :)
@@bertodoin7304 Most of them are inscribed with names or something. Otherwise you can make postings for lost wedding rings at this beach access point
Finders keepers lol
Lost my rather special ring on the beach. It was a Peter Minturn design and looked like the gold had been dribbled to represent bark. I know I will never see it again but hope someone found it.
Good Luck, I hope you find it eventually. As I have found many items that have been lost for years.
I wouldn't be out there in the dark. Got to worry about the criminal element. Safety first. You are brave.
Probably wise to carry and also have a friend with you that will carry. Ohhh, and not use headphones until the sun comes up.
Hey man I’m hoping you can answer a couple questions first do you need a license to do that? I’m in Texas so I can go to te beach
Not in California, all beaches are open to metal detect no license needed. Thank You 👍
As long as you have a good time at the beach, it’s a great day! Nice finds👍😊🤗
That is so true! Thank you 🤙
Not to be the Debby downer. But anytime he seen trash. He never picked it up. And if it was ever in his little bucket. He would throw it back on the beach. High five to you for finding 55 cents. But don’t have the decency to pick up a couple pieces of garbage.
Organic matter and sea shells are not trash, any trash I dig goes into the trash. Look closer!
I wonder if he accidentally stole those Nike shoes , I lowkey think someone just went for a swim and came back to them being gone, otherwise why would they be together 🤣
No, they forgot about them from night before most likely. Fireworks show on the beach. The only people in the water was Kenny and Arron surfing. I know my beach.
Has anyone ever contacted you to ask you to search for a treasure (e.g. their wedding band) that they had lost at a specific location?
Yes, several times. Though we have several ring finders in the area so I refer most to them.
3:45 that is Kirby ! It seems like a little pin?
I will never understand why some people wear expensive jewelry to the beach, lol. But it's damn good for metal detectors.
When I go to the beach to board or swim my rings stay at home, but a lot of people use the beach to show off their fashion. 😍😀
@@funwithjim lol, true that Jim. I live in Durban, South Africa, and not too far from the beach. I'm thinking of buying a metal detector too, though there's not many people doing it here. Good luck with all your future finds too. Enjoying your channel and adventures with you. Thanks for sharing them with us.
