| Handy Magnet On Long Handle Found Lost Bolt. |
Yesterday my wife was using long-handled ratcheting clippers to cut vines and briars in an overgrown area. She came in and said she lost a bolt out of the clippers. The ground was covered with several inches of detritus and she could not find the bolt. So I got out my metal detector, and got a few signals but couldn't see the bolt. So I got out the magnet I sometimes use when metal detecting junky areas (shown above).
It worked like a charm. It didn't take long before I heard the bolt click against the magnet. Task accomplished. It worked so good, I wanted to remind how useful magnets can be for any detectorist or treasure hunter.
Here is a little video I made to show how the long handled magnet can be used to pick up junk targets.
There are times when a magnet will be more useful than a pin-pointer. It can be very difficult to see a small rusted piece among sticks, leaves and dirt.
Using a magnet with your Canadian coins provides a quick way to locate any older silver Canadian coins. Similarly, if you have a pile of wheaties and want to quickly pick out any steel pennies, a magnet will quickly do that.
Here is a post I once did on sorting coins with a magnet.
See The Treasure Beaches Report Direct From Florida's Treasure Coast.: Search results for magnet coins
If you have a really good strong magnet, you might want to do some magnet fishing.
Or you can use a lawn magnet to clean up the junk before metal detecting a site. Lawn magnets are sometimes used by constructioin companies to clean up a work site. I've talked about that before too,
You can also use a magnet on mystery finds to narrow down the type of metal.
You should have a good magnet or two among you treasure hunting tools.

You might remember this button, which was found by Kris N. I posted it along with some other finds made by Kris.
Here it is after some cleaning.
It bears the South Carolina motto Amimis OIpibusque Parati, which translates to "prepared in soul and resources."
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. This week was a Comedy of Terrors in Washington, DC. Schumer from the Senate floor shows his Freudian slip when he blames Trump for inciting an "erection." Dr. Jill Riding Hood braves the dangerous militarized streets of the U.S. capital to feed the multitudes of National Guards with a basket of cookies (was it six) but no fish. And Joe admits out loud he doesn't know what he is signing, but with one signature kills thousands of jobs, angers Canada, and guts the funding of Native American tribes. More revealing yet was when he hears in his earpiece "salute the Marines," and in response says out loud, "salute the Marines," while walking right by them. Political satire was once popular and helpful, but now social media evidently has a greater affinity for child pornography than free speech. Actually they are doing the right a big favor by making it necessary for the right to have their own media.

Sand renourishment projects are underway around the Treasure Coast with more to come. I think this year will see unprecedented numbers of beach renourishment projects.

Could it really happen?

Today the surf is up to two or three feet, but that isn't much help. The real news is the bigger surf predicted for next weekend.
That could really help us out. We've had little surf in 2021 so far. If we actually get 6 to 10 feet, that could be our first good beach dectecting of the year.
Some of the new renourishment sand could be disappearing before it even settles. Actually, it won't be disappearing, it will be out there in the water.
By the way, lately we've had some very good visibility in the water - especially in the Indian River.
Happy hunting,
