Beachgoers were extra chatty. Was it the cap?

Añadido: 2026-05-25

[00:00:06]I'm in the people section of Ocean Beach in San Diego.

[00:00:10]Sure looks different without the giant berm.

[00:00:14]First tone.

[00:00:16]23 and the sun is coming up.

[00:00:24]We're under the departure path of an airport runway, so it's going to be noisy.

[00:00:34]Wow.

[00:00:42]What is this?

[00:00:44]Somebody buried their Trader Joe's peanut butter.

[00:00:50]I don't do towel lines, but since it's so visibly clear where it is here and there's nobody currently in it, I'm following it and have found a a tone.

[00:01:08]A screaming dime, I think.

[00:01:12]Okay.

[00:01:19]Oh, but I see a penny, something brown.

[00:01:25]No.

[00:01:27]It's a dime.

[00:01:31]Another strong tone.

[00:01:35]Lower 70s.

[00:01:38]Doesn't look like a coin on the trace. Oh, man.

[00:01:44]Look at this.

[00:01:47]Every time I dig, I'm getting completely covered in sand and going in my shoes.

[00:01:56]That was worth it for this.

[00:02:00]Hoop earring.

[00:02:07]89 Sounds like a quarter.

[00:02:29]And it is a quarter.

[00:02:34]12 That's aluminum.

[00:02:47]Well Um, I think I found a dime right here. A dime? I think. Ooh.

[00:02:54]Yeah. Let's get away from the water.

[00:02:56]Different beeps, different Different beeps, different tones, uh different different numbers on the screen.

[00:03:15]It is here. Oh, do you see it?

[00:03:19]Oh, okay. Good eye.

[00:03:21]Thank you very much.

[00:03:22]>> Yeah, have fun. Thanks, I will.

[00:03:28]Uh, younger people have better eyes. I would have gone back into the water looking for it.

[00:03:37]Strong six usually ketchup packets.

[00:03:48]But I did once find a gold ring at a six.

[00:04:02]I got to wash it out.

[00:04:07]It's too muddy to shake out.

[00:04:14]It would be something good.

[00:04:29]Let's see.

[00:04:32]Ah, quarter.

[00:04:48]Piece of foil.

[00:04:52]I've always wanted to find one of these jet just so I could do it.

[00:04:57]All right, let me give you my my card here. You can watch it on eBay.

[00:05:02]Or not eBay, um, YouTube. Okay.

[00:05:07]That's me. I will definitely watch it cuz I like watching things like that.

[00:05:11]Now, what can you find this time? Right.

[00:05:14]Hey, have a good one. You as well, sir.

[00:05:18]No luck at all in the wet, so I'm back in the dry.

[00:05:22]And I think I'm going to detect along the rocks here.

[00:05:27]Maybe on the back side.

[00:05:33]Low 50s.

[00:05:36]They're pretty strong, though.

[00:05:45]Shake, shake.

[00:05:51]Okay.

[00:05:52]I see something good here.

[00:05:57]Oh, it's junky.

[00:06:02]Better than a coin though. Better than a quarter.

[00:06:06]There's got to be something in there.

[00:06:12]Looks like another quarter. Oh, oh.

[00:06:18]Okay.

[00:06:21]Well, at least I got it.

[00:06:23]I think the asphalt is only an inch or two under the sand.

[00:06:30]So, this is sand blown over the edge of the parking lot.

[00:06:35]Quarter.

[00:06:40]25.

[00:06:43]It's not a coin.

[00:06:45]Or at least it's not a nickel.

[00:06:55]Nothing.

[00:07:02]Says there's something there.

[00:07:11]Hey.

[00:07:16]I see no mark.

[00:07:19]Looks silver.

[00:07:23]Where I want to detect has been coned off for emergency vehicles, so they let you walk through it, but they probably wouldn't want me to stop and detect there.

[00:07:38]So, I'm over here closer to the grass.

[00:07:43]15 16 You weren't going to collect these, were you? No, I'm metal detecting.

[00:07:51]I didn't even know they had Bush Beer anymore.

[00:08:00]I bet you get some more goodies with your metal detector though. Uh just really crusty coins, you know, corroded pennies.

[00:08:07]Very rarely, once every few months.

[00:08:11]Yeah.

[00:08:14]Thank you.

[00:08:17]And this is a grommet.

[00:08:26]Low '60s.

[00:08:30]I'll even dig pennies cuz there's so few targets around here. Oh, it's not a penny.

[00:08:37]It is a screw cap.

[00:08:44]'88 quarter.

[00:08:59]Uh there it is.

[00:09:04]Upside down again.

[00:09:11]Probably a zinc penny.

[00:09:18]Lower '60s.

[00:09:20]There it is.

[00:09:24]Uh zinc penny.

[00:09:32]Another zincin.

[00:09:37]At least I got it.

[00:09:41]And I hear it.

[00:09:45]I just thought Pre-corrosion zinc and Even if it's a penny, I'll dig it.

[00:10:25]It is yet another penny.

[00:10:28]And Look at this oversized chair.

[00:10:34]Used to have a tall back on it.

[00:10:37]Like a year or so ago, but I guess someone broke it off.

[00:10:44]And it has to be locked, so someone doesn't steal the whole chair.

[00:10:52]I think this is a quarter.

[00:11:09]Check it out.

[00:11:14]Yes.

[00:11:17]Quarter.

[00:11:20]Wow.

[00:11:23]That's howling.

[00:11:29]And a weird number.

[00:11:30]Around the 50s.

[00:11:37]Oh, no. Glob you light.

[00:11:41]The dog beach.

[00:11:43]I've never seen the tide so low.

[00:11:48]Okay, I don't want to get in the dogs' way, so I'll detect behind them.

[00:11:54]Oh, wait. I don't have a dog. Never mind.

[00:11:58]There was absolutely nothing where the dogs were and just behind them.

[00:12:03]This area must be thoroughly detected, though I didn't see any other people detecting.

[00:12:08]So, detect over here.

[00:12:14]79 81 Sounds like a dime.

[00:12:28]Oh, there it is.

[00:12:31]Hey.

[00:12:33]I can't get it.

[00:12:36]Dime.

[00:12:39]This might be the first nickel.

[00:12:43]Well, if it's a nickel, it'll be the first one I found this whole trip.

[00:12:51]And it is.

[00:12:58]Nickel.

[00:13:03]This is a very active sounding quarter.

[00:13:16]That was the dog making weird noises.

[00:13:20]Not me.

[00:13:31]>> Yeah, that was a good one.

[00:13:37]Nickel.

[00:13:38]No.

[00:13:39]Quarter. Dude.

[00:13:48]It's kind of a dead sounding tone, but it's strong.

[00:14:05]I saw a dime.

[00:14:08]Oh, that's not a dime again.

[00:14:18]Dime.

[00:14:28]Very loud quarter.

[00:14:31]87 88 Make sure there weren't two.

[00:14:49]I had to check it out. There it is.

[00:14:56]28 29 little high for a nickel.

[00:15:07]See if it's in here.

[00:15:14]Right color.

[00:15:16]It's a pull tab.

[00:15:20]It's strong.

[00:15:21]It's zincing.

[00:15:35]Oh, shake it out. Oh, it's a dime, not a zinc and Okay.

[00:15:47]Oh, maybe there was a penny in there.

[00:16:04]Yes.

[00:16:06]There was a penny.

[00:16:08]Near my hotel in National City, I found a small local food court in a plain detached building with maybe 10 kitchens and a gift shop.

[00:16:18]I chose Donburi rice bowl.

[00:16:20]Their Tonkatsu curry is the real deal.

[00:16:23]Pork, not chicken, and hot Japanese curry, not the weak and watery stuff like in adjacent cuisines.

[00:16:31]The salad was great, too, especially the dressing.

[00:16:35]Ocean Beach challenges me as a detectorist. The high concentration of black iron in the sand, combined with EMI I suspect from marine and airport radars, causes chattering, reduced depth, and distorted tones and VDI readings.

[00:16:52]Knowing this after multiple visits, I now slow down and tweak my controls as needed.

[00:16:58]In 3 hours, I found four quarters, three dimes, one nickel, and five pennies.

[00:17:04]A bling hoop earring, kids ring, and a small charm with a glowing stone completed the day's haul of keepers.

[00:17:13]The other items are a screw cap, grommet, and a folded gold colored pull tab.

[00:17:20]Thank you for watching to the end. Your likes, comments, and subscriptions are highly appreciated.

[00:17:26]See you next time.
