It must be nice having a rock tumbler no joke I took a jar put some babies and rocks Intuit took my change threw it in and walked around the neighborhood for 2 hours as I tumbled it in my hands and shook it actually worked no I'm not joking I'm that nuts I've been doing this for about two years end I have 5 rings 2 got returned the only thing more hysterical is I found all my stuff with a Garrard 300 if you didn't know that's $200 detector with no ground balancing I'm really slumming it🤣
Sir...your just like me...i agree w/you FULLY about the ZOMBIE THING! I get it! And I'm JEALOUS (not really) that your in paradise! NEED MORE ZOMBIE & RUN MUSIC BTW lol...love the vids/hunts/RESCUES! Ty sir
Hi Ron, seems this time of year you gotta get into the water in the swimming areas. I went out last night for the low tide and didn't find a thing. Was too rough to get in the water. Hope all is well there! :)
As always, love your videos. That is a beautiful beach and so far it looks like you're the only treasure hunter! Now all you need is a massive gold chain and a big diamond ring!
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
*This thing is awesome It also Bestfor.Garden land for finding any things very easily. Am surprised at how deep it finds things. We have found deep buried old tractor parts on our property. Old tines. This is addicting!!
Ever find... War items? Or explore the beautiful yet very dangerous jungles? Also, how much has Vietnam changed since the war? I could read any site as well as anyone... You made a change to move there. Through a individuals eyes. You know.. Godspeed.
Hello Fuego, no I only ever hunt the beaches. People are still getting killed walking into the jungles. In the 7-8 years I have been here it has changed a lot, so I can only imagine how much it has changed since the war. Thanks for watching my friend 👍
the 15 inch coil is less stable than the 11 inch. I dive with my equinox and it is very stable you will have to turn the sensitivity down to the teens even on beach 2 but if you want to give a pi a go try the sea hunter mk2 that's what I used prior to the equinox and it's a great machine and very deep with the 14 inch coil. All PI machines will be unstable as well when the water depth changes during a swing and are best used going in and out of the water or perpendicular to the shoreline rather than parralell to it.
Hi Philbo, thanks for your feedback. I had the Nox turned down to 16 sensitivity and it was still chatty. Seems to run better on the days with less current and uneven sand surface. Here I was thinking you can run the PI Machines hot in the water and get back the depth you lose on a VLF.
Do you ground balance before each time you metal detect? Tie a string to the various types jewellery you usually find in the water to check your wether you've ground balanced the detector the present enviroment, then check to see what happens with the various jewellery, also check your waterproof plug is completely screwed in and water tight, and use a silicon grease on the neoprene "O" ring/s so their not pinching or chaffed, Garret have a similar problem if the coil or earphone plugs aren't sealed properly an you have to get any salt water residue out and dry out the connections for a few days, that's about all I can think of, apart from a dud coil or a crack, and from what of seen on other RUclips metal detectorist shows black sand will through your ground balancing out if you don't sypher that into it, and maybe a slighty smaller coil, big ones might be a bit of a workout in water, Cheers👍🇦🇺👍🇦🇺👍👍
Hi Tim, I am hunting underwater now with the 11" coil. You are correct, it is more stable than the big one. I always run auto ground balance. Thanks for watching 👍
Beach Pirate there is 4 main guys that hunt the resort beaches north of airport. Mind you we don't have super long beaches like you. Let's put it this way, I was very shocked to hear it took you over ten years to find diamond rings.
Another good hunt. In the detector stability, If i get that water hunting with the black sand, I turn on the auto ground tracking on the Nox. Seems to help. In fact I always run that. Makes the nox way more stable. I think default in beach modes is zero, so try that. That chain is great. Looks titanium to me,and by those markings Id say it is too. You inspired me to go on another beach hunt tomorrow. Sydney had some huge sea swells this week, up to six meters and high winds. All calm now so perfect to go check for cuts to hunt.
Hi Dave, actually there was a lot of black sand around on that hunt. I too always run auto ground balance. Best of luck with your hunt after the storms, curious to hear how you go 👍
Great video mate. Excellent selection of finds. I can’t get on with the 15 inch coil. I’ve tried but it’s a sod to pin point with and I find I have to drop the sensitivity a lot to stop if falsing. As for a stable water machine, go back to the Excal. I will never get rid of mine. In fact I’ll be out with it next time. GL. Jason.
Cheers Jason, I quit using my Excal because it was also too noisy. I am beginning to think that maybe there is a problem with the wiring. I am hearing you about pinpointing the 15 inch.. ugh! Might put the 11" back on and see if it runs a little quieter. Good luck! :)
Great vid!! I think the cat items are/relate to Hello Kitty. They do a lot of merchandise and are very sought after. I recognise the the bow on some of the stuff u find lol. That’s the bow on Hello 🐱 Kitties head. Great hunt and thank u so much for sharing. Lmk if it is btw lol. It’s a pleasure to watch you mr detector. Sound like a lovely, genuine guy!! 👍😻
Hi Jenjen, yes you are correct.. many of the cats have a bow. I also notice in shops here, they have a gold coloured cat waving it's hand. Might have something to do with good luck (or money like everything here). Thanks for you kind words 👍
Beach Pirate wow! Thank you so much for the response! Not many reply back lol. See what I mean about a nice, genuine guy! What a gentleman you are sir! Your very welcome as well. And your right the gold lucky cat they have them here too. Absolutely a joy watching your vids and finds. Wishing you all the luck in the world for gold, gold, gold. Take care love Jen from Northern Ireland x 😻🦋 oh and if you find any Michael Kors jewellery gimme a shout lol 💎💕x
Enjoy the hunt, just say bling, not crappy... not nice word. Sorry water so very hot. Curious is their waterfalls where people jump in and swim, on another channel they found tons of stuff in a waterfall, they used scuba gear. U might want to try it, and bring your detector. Enjoyed your vids and as long as u find fines it's ok about length of video
Hi Running Grass, thanks for watching. I have not hunted in the waterfalls before.. there are some not far from here but a little difficult to access. Where the beach is 2 minutes from my house with thousands of people there each day 👍
Well done. the chain could be tungsten ? Try to scratch it with a sharp blade, tungsten can only be marked with diamond. Nice little gold ring as well.
Not tungsten, scratched quite easy with a key. Any luck getting your Gopro back? I am very conscious of the waves after hearing your story. Hope you get it back!
@@BeachPirate Maybe silver then. I went on tuesday but no luck, I think its in a sand bar which is about 1M tall. I think I will have to arrange some sort of tether to attach camera to me. For when its a bit choppy out. I plan to go back at weekend again and search.
How do you like the handle assist you have on your scoop handle? Is it really that necessary? Does it help with fatigue on those long digging days in the water? Thanks, Mark
G'day Mark, oh that little handle makes a huge difference. Not only for pulling up the targets, but dragging along the scoops for hours at a time. Best of luck!
That's for sure. Hey when you put those pics up of what you found for the day, just for the hell of it, can you put what metal it is by chance? Ya if you know what it is. I like to research stuff like that. I know u recover it all in the end. Just curious if u could add it to there. If u don't know what is just put a ? For it? Just a thought.
Michelle Fitch hi Michelle, I normally use those pictures as a tease so people hang around for the wrap up at the end. I know it is a little cheeky, but RUclips really wants watch time or my videos get hidden 😮
@@BeachPirate I have read about the Impulse AQ but I think that the price is going to be too dear for me to consider. For detecting in the surf the CZ21 is perfect for my needs. I also like the ability to discriminate and the fact that I have 3 tones available to me. Cheers
Hi mate, I don't mind the digging so much because there are no coins in circulation here. Gives me extra time/energy to dig goodies (and trash). Was the Dual Field quiet in the water?
@@BeachPirate For the most part, yes. There may be some falsing when the coil would go in and out of the water. If it would get too chatty, the battery pack could be going dead, it could be interference from something nearby, or it needed to be tuned for the local conditions. You can adjust a few things on it to keep the background noise to a minimum. The knobs are easy to operate in water. I've never had a metal detector that was always quiet. For the times it was quiet for too long, I would always get worried it was broken.
Hi Mario, my sister brought the detector in her luggage when she come to visit me in VN.. I am pretty sure John from XtremeScoops sent it directly to VN 👍
BP, have you looked into the White's TDI Beach metal detector that Ed The Beach Hunter uses?, it is made for salt water metal detecting, check out the reviews. one more thing, in the Nox 800 manual, look at page 51 Recovery Speed, the Nox 800 has a default setting 6 for beach mode, at the bottom of the page, on the right side, it states that if you are experiencing high level of ground noise at the beach, or when detecting underwater, try increasing the Recovery Speed to reduce the noise. It is also possible to vary both swing rate and Recovery Speed to help minimize ground noise. Now back to your hunt, that was heavy chain, looks like you had a great hunt, thanks for taking me with you.
Enjoy your videos. I will get my first 800 next week. I have used a Whites Pulse PI for at least 10 years. I have studied the 800 manual on line to get familiar with it in advance. In all the videos I have watched , it seems that the target is between beeps.. Is this the case. Do you use the wireless and transmitter, we the waterproof headphones? I know I will have to get waterproof as I usually hunt in rough surge and shore brake. I hunt Texas beaches mostly. I've done pretty well in Hawaii as well. Thanks for your input.
That’s a solid day of great detecting! I’d be happy to find any of those junkers. All I’ve been finding is cans, bottle caps, and foil. Lol. It’s nice to see you’re doing well! GL&HH!
Hey mate, I did a ultra-low tide search the other night expecting an epic gold hunt, went home with nothing but a bag full of trash. From now on I am keeping to the water 👍 Best of luck!
Hi beach pirate another great video. What is the strangest thing you have found and did you ever find out if the stone was real in the bracelet was real. The one that looked like a star sappire.
@@BeachPirate I've been around gems all my life and was so sure that it was real. If you find out for sure would you let us all know. Thanks for the reply.
Is it possible use the metal detector in Vietnam? I'll be in da Nang tomorrow with my old garret ace 250.. And I would love to dig some hole in the beaches :) just for fun..
@@BeachPirate id say the sea hunter mark 2 , or tesoro sand shark . they both are great but i lean more towards the sea hunter since u can actually switch coils unlike the tesoro and it detects a little bit deeper.
Why a pulse detector ? I sold all 3 of mine because of two reasons. One, got tired digging all the steel and junk and Two they are heavy. Once I got my Excaliburs it made hunting in the water a lot more fun and with the Anderson shaft it is so balanced I can swing it all day. Don't get me wrong, I love the pulse detectors but I like spending my time and energy digging treasure. HH and GL
Hi Jim, not sure why but I had this idea that the PI Machines are more stable at depth in the saltwater. I have to really turn down the power on the Excal and Nox to stop the falsing and lose lots of depth. I am only finding surface targets and mostly sub 2 gram rings right now. Just out of range of the heavy stuff 👍
Yes a pulse detector is more stable in salt water. I can run my Nox at 18 with the 11" coil in the water. The bigger the coil the less stability in the water. I have to run my Excalibur 2 with the 10" coil at 7 where as with my Excalibur 800 with the 8" coil I can max out.
Great video. What about the Xcal 2 by Minelab. Do the locals ever give you a hard time or has your wife put the word out that you are her husband and to watch out for you. When I lived in Korea thats what my wife did. GL&HH
Hi mate, I already have an Excal II but I am not really impressed with it's depth compared to the Nox. The locals are cool, a little overly curious at times but mostly friendly. Good to hear your wife is looking out for you 👍
Great hunt Beach pirate, congratulations on picking up some more gold. It seems like you're getting better and better at your hunts for picking up all this jewelry. Do you pick up a lot of trash to along the way or are the beaches very clean? Looking forward to your next video.
Hey mate, I had to change up hunting strategy. I was finding nothing for months as the beach sanded in. So now I am only searching for fresh drops out deeper in the swimming nets. I check the beach the night before for crowds, especially for events.. have found Sunday afternoon/Monday morning to be the most successful times. The beaches are not that clean here, but out deep things are okay. Also the fact that there are no coins means no digging deep targets and more energy for digging goodies. See you on the next hunt 👍
Did you get your drink money back? Great video. Too many hello kitty rings 😂 At least you found a gold ring 👍 It'd be interesting to find out about that heavy chain though; I'm curious as to what it's made of a well.
Hi Kaye, of the money only works out to be just over $2 US. It seemed to make his day so I didn't want to ruin his fun. The chain might be titanium, but I have no idea :) Thanks for watching!
Take it easy with all the "Crappy RING Statements"!!! Most all of detectorist"s would love to find any kind of ring!! Cheers..haha.. and no more crappy rings!!!
They took your money? Luckily they didn’t rob you mate. Great video. I’m looking to get into MD soon. So many zombies at my beach here too in Malaysia.
haha nah they are the Jet Ski guys, they are cool. The amount of money I lost was equivalent to $2.20 US. The guy was way too happy to ask for it back 😂
Thanks Phil, I already have an Excal II but doesn't have the depth of the Equinox. The Surf Master might be a good option for out deep and away from the trash :)
@@BeachPirate isn't the Excal ll rated to 66 meters?, when I was buying my detector I wanted the Excal ll but there was a 2 month back order so settled for the Nox 800, which is rated for 3 meters, but according to the dealer is really good for 10 meters.
Hi mate, I got the scoop shaft and handle from xtremescoops.com . A little pricey but hopefully will last forever. Good luck to you and your girl with the NOX 600 :)
Just started watching your vids, very addict able, question you seem to have used different scoops, the Xtreme is the best I know, but what others would you recommend?
Hi Lorseck, it has kind of become a habit as many of the veterans got upset when I showed my finds. Now I am conscious of this :) Thanks for watching 👍
Hi Catherine, I have a love hate relationship with this place. It can be frustrating at times because everything is done half-assed. If you are used to common-sense and efficiency this place will drive you crazy. 😂
I have a question, i am thinking about traveling to vietnam and stay there for a while. But i want to take with me my metal detector. Is there any problem with prospecting on the beach? What about permision? Police? Thx!
This is a great video! I watch most of your videos and really enjoy them but I have a question. Do you sell the good jewelry you find or do you just collect it?

I use a Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II in similar sea conditions. It’s a PI, goes deep and it isn’t fazed by the salt water.
Thanks Mark, do you need to turn down the gain to stabilize it? Or it is happy at full power?
the 15 inch coil is less stable than the 11 inch.

How did you ship your detector there and scoop?
Hi Mario, my sister brought the detector in her luggage when she come to visit me in VN.. I am pretty sure John from XtremeScoops sent it directly to VN 👍
BP, have you looked into the White's TDI Beach metal detector that Ed The Beach Hunter uses?, it is made for salt water metal detecting, check out the reviews. one more thing, in the Nox 800 manual, look at page 51 Recovery Speed, the Nox 800 has a default setting 6 for beach mode, at the bottom of the page, on the right side, it states that if you are experiencing high level of ground noise at the beach, or when detecting underwater, try increasing the Recovery Speed to reduce the noise. It is also possible to vary both swing rate and Recovery Speed to help minimize ground noise. Now back to your hunt, that was heavy chain, looks like you had a great hunt, thanks for taking me with you.
best PI machine for saltwater , sea hunter mark 2
Thanks Bruno, have heard good things about them 👍
Enjoy your videos. I will get my first 800 next week. I have used a Whites Pulse PI for at least 10 years. I have studied the 800 manual on line to get familiar with it in advance. In all the videos I have watched , it seems that the target is between beeps.. Is this the case. Do you use the wireless and transmitter, we the waterproof headphones? I know I will have to get waterproof as I usually hunt in rough surge and shore brake. I hunt Texas beaches mostly. I've done pretty well in Hawaii as well. Thanks for your input.
That’s a solid day of great detecting! I’d be happy to find any of those junkers. All I’ve been finding is cans, bottle caps, and foil. Lol.
It’s nice to see you’re doing well!
GL&HH!
Hey mate, I did a ultra-low tide search the other night expecting an epic gold hunt, went home with nothing but a bag full of trash. From now on I am keeping to the water 👍 Best of luck!
Hi beach pirate another great video. What is the strangest thing you have found and did you ever find out if the stone was real in the bracelet was real. The one that looked like a star sappire.
Hi Janice, I haven't really found anything that strange from memory. After doing more research, I am very sure that star sapphire is synthetic.
@@BeachPirate I've been around gems all my life and was so sure that it was real. If you find out for sure would you let us all know. Thanks for the reply.
Is it possible use the metal detector in Vietnam? I'll be in da Nang tomorrow with my old garret ace 250.. And I would love to dig some hole in the beaches :) just for fun..
Is it possible that the chain is Tungsten carbide? kinda looks like it.
Hi Janice, it scratches a little too easy for tungsten. Could be stainless.
My Detector Recommendations
Tesoro Sand Shark
Minelab CTX 3030
Garrett ATX
Minelab Excalibur II
Fisher CZ-21
Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II
Thanks Leothe Cat, which machine do you recommend for waist/shoulder deep salt water?
@@BeachPirate id say the sea hunter mark 2 , or tesoro sand shark . they both are great but i lean more towards the sea hunter since u can actually switch coils unlike the tesoro and it detects a little bit deeper.
Why a pulse detector ? I sold all 3 of mine because of two reasons. One, got tired digging all the steel and junk and Two they are heavy. Once I got my Excaliburs it made hunting in the water a lot more fun and with the Anderson shaft it is so balanced I can swing it all day. Don't get me wrong, I love the pulse detectors but I like spending my time and energy digging treasure. HH and GL
Hi Jim, not sure why but I had this idea that the PI Machines are more stable at depth in the saltwater. I have to really turn down the power on the Excal and Nox to stop the falsing and lose lots of depth. I am only finding surface targets and mostly sub 2 gram rings right now. Just out of range of the heavy stuff 👍
Yes a pulse detector is more stable in salt water. I can run my Nox at 18 with the 11" coil in the water. The bigger the coil the less stability in the water. I have to run my Excalibur 2 with the 10" coil at 7 where as with my Excalibur 800 with the 8" coil I can max out.
Great video. What about the Xcal 2 by Minelab. Do the locals ever give you a hard time or has your wife put the word out that you are her husband and to watch out for you. When I lived in Korea thats what my wife did. GL&HH
Hi mate, I already have an Excal II but I am not really impressed with it's depth compared to the Nox. The locals are cool, a little overly curious at times but mostly friendly. Good to hear your wife is looking out for you 👍
Great hunt Beach pirate, congratulations on picking up some more gold.
It seems like you're getting better and better at your hunts for picking up all this jewelry.
Do you pick up a lot of trash to along the way or are the beaches very clean?
Looking forward to your next video.
Hey mate, I had to change up hunting strategy. I was finding nothing for months as the beach sanded in. So now I am only searching for fresh drops out deeper in the swimming nets. I check the beach the night before for crowds, especially for events.. have found Sunday afternoon/Monday morning to be the most successful times. The beaches are not that clean here, but out deep things are okay. Also the fact that there are no coins means no digging deep targets and more energy for digging goodies. See you on the next hunt 👍
Did you get your drink money back?
Great video. Too many hello kitty rings 😂
At least you found a gold ring 👍
It'd be interesting to find out about that heavy chain though; I'm curious as to what it's made of a well.
Hi Kaye, of the money only works out to be just over $2 US. It seemed to make his day so I didn't want to ruin his fun. The chain might be titanium, but I have no idea :) Thanks for watching!
brad the whites TDI beachunter is awesome and very stable
Thanks mate, are you running it with the higher voltage battery pack?
@@BeachPirate yes I am I bought. 1 from reidman
Take it easy with all the "Crappy RING Statements"!!! Most all of detectorist"s would love to find any kind of ring!! Cheers..haha.. and no more crappy rings!!!
Thanks 👍
They took your money? Luckily they didn’t rob you mate. Great video. I’m looking to get into MD soon. So many zombies at my beach here too in Malaysia.
haha nah they are the Jet Ski guys, they are cool. The amount of money I lost was equivalent to $2.20 US. The guy was way too happy to ask for it back 😂
Forgot to ask Gerard, where in Malaysia do you hunt. Some of the guys here have been to Penang beach.. said it is quite nice.
Beach Pirate I’m staying in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Surrounded by islands.
Beach Pirate hahahaha that’s cool
Be safe
Thank you Sir 👍
Can you share your settings for salty water?? I have the Nox but is falsing all the time
whites surf master or minelab Excalibur, hope you like digging deep.
Thanks Phil, I already have an Excal II but doesn't have the depth of the Equinox. The Surf Master might be a good option for out deep and away from the trash :)
@@BeachPirate isn't the Excal ll rated to 66 meters?, when I was buying my detector I wanted the Excal ll but there was a 2 month back order so settled for the Nox 800, which is rated for 3 meters, but according to the dealer is really good for 10 meters.
stepped out my hotel yesterday only to get my leg blown off by an old landmine from the late 60s FML 🤦🏻♂️ should've known this shit would happen
Roman I post on RUclips lmfaooo
DG watchu want me to post
Roman I Your legs, that shit funny no offense. How old are you?
DG bro it was a joke
No Name Who? You?
Looks like Danang.. you still there?
Yes sir, but will be leaving in 3 weeks
The swan is the swarovski brand.
Thanks Joana, I didnt't think of that.. good to have you here 😀👍
Hello kitty
Where is this beach?
Hi bro ..tell me about some good beaches to detect in North Vietnam??
New subscriber liking your videos sound great really good that large chain did you ever find out what it was was it titanium at all thank you
Hi Chris, I am not really sure what it is made of. My guess is Titanium.. it is not magnetic but it scratches easily. Thanks for watching 👍
Beach Pirate thanks for the reply 👍 watching from Hertfordshire England btw 👍
cracking video. just got my girlfriend the EQUINOX 600. where did you get your scoop shaft with handle. 🤪
Hi mate, I got the scoop shaft and handle from xtremescoops.com . A little pricey but hopefully will last forever. Good luck to you and your girl with the NOX 600 :)
cheers mate🤪
stainless steel maybe?
Could be Chris, it scratches quite easily with a key so maybe stainless.
Just started watching your vids, very addict able, question you seem to have used different scoops, the Xtreme is the best I know, but what others would you recommend?
Hi Christopher, I can really only recommend the Xtreme scoops. The Stavr scoop was very average.
How come to look around to see if anyone's watching? Have you had people try and steal from you before?
Hi Lorseck, it has kind of become a habit as many of the veterans got upset when I showed my finds. Now I am conscious of this :) Thanks for watching 👍
@@BeachPirate interesting. thank you.
hi I would like to know or to give us the link for your sand scoop and it shaft please
xtremescoops.com/ 👍
Excelentes praias. Os seus vídeos são ótimos!
Thank you sir
please answer how do you carry all your equipment with just a bike
I just carry my equipment with my left hand. Right hand for steering, throttle and braking :) I live very close to the beach thankfully
How do you like living there??
Hi Catherine, I have a love hate relationship with this place. It can be frustrating at times because everything is done half-assed. If you are used to common-sense and efficiency this place will drive you crazy. 😂
Bets equinox
titanium.
Why does he not want anyone to be around? Why would he care?
I have no idea 🤔
How are you finding the carbon fibre handle? I had a look on their website (Xtreme) & would cost me about $200 AUD to have one sent here in Melbourne
Yeah shipping is a killer. The handle is great. No flex at all, and hopefully lasts a life time.
where did you get your sovel shifter?
Hi Amanda, the scoop is from xtremescoops in Texas. A little pricey but worth it if you are serious about detecting 👍
I have a question, i am thinking about traveling to vietnam and stay there for a while. But i want to take with me my metal detector. Is there any problem with prospecting on the beach? What about permision? Police? Thx!
Hi , I haven’t had any problems with police. 👍
What beach this wAs?
That is Hello kitty very popular and people love cats
Like me!!!! Could that chain be Titanium??
I think so Catherine, I am pretty sure the stamp says TN.. but it does scratch easy with a key. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Good vids buddie..were can i buy one them shovels from iv looked everywere
Hi Chris, I bought the scoop from here xtremescoops.com/
Cheers mate.i go down the beach after a packed out day finding bits.goin to order one them shovels so i can go out in the low tide.thanks again
What is the make of metal detector you used.
he said it in the video dumb dumb
They(Hello, Kitty) got scooped up by big toy place, U.S., will make furniture for, and that! ( heard)
Thanks for the feedback Christine, learn something new everyday 👍
This is a great video! I watch most of your videos and really enjoy them but I have a question. Do you sell the good jewelry you find or do you just collect it?
Hi Sheepy, I just collect it for now. But I will most likely sell some soon to buy more equipment. Thanks for watching 👍
30 degree water temp. That's crazy hot.
The beach here is like a giant hot tub 😄
