The Beach had my GOLD | July 4th 😱

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 little pink character on that button was Kirby, it’s a character from a Nintendo game. Super random find 🤣🤣👌

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

Love the Kerby badge 😂 The blue and 925 bracelet is my favourite find. So beautiful.

The gold chain from the other guy was genuinely insane.

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.

Oh my God that kirby Button was just adorable

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 !

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.

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.

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.

Great haul Jim 👏 what’s the worst thing a detectorist can find when he gets to the beach very early…………………….other detectorists 😂

[kimberlycole]

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!

"Is that a penny? NO! a dime. Ten times better." I laughed too hard at that dad joke.

[sharonjameson]

The little funny thing is Kirby, from a computer game. Great video, will be watching more

[wesleystrickland]

The yellow token with the pink character is Kirby from the video games

[bballerforever]

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!

[ShowMeMO-Digs]

😮the stuff you find! Starting early in the dark looks fun

[codylover]

I love how Alex just throws/plops his sifter every time out of excitement
