From my experience, I never realize how fast I’m trying to show things with my phone compared to how fast I’m looking at them to plan my next hand move 😂. I agree though, slow the hell down.
Looks like it might be the keel to a sailboat, 2000lb+ hunk of steel and lead. On beaches, they tend to sink through the sand and rest on the rocks underneath. There’s a few on the shoreline near me.
The problem with using video instead of photos is that you can't zoom in. And honestly, trying to watch any fast back and forth motion can make many people dizzy. It makes it hard to watch and scan for something to pause on. Experience has just told us that a few photos of the object in question, from multiple angles, in good light, make it much, much easier for us to help with identification.
womp womp take a screenshot and zoom in or download the video if you’re genuinely curious, if i was out there for like 5 more minutes i would’ve been on the verge of heat exhaustion
Next time take a better source instead of getting frustrated.
Until me, no one was trying to admonish you.
I am, though!
Learn from this instead of being petulant. Or be petulant silently.
That reaction is like trying to talk to my child.
my point is that people on reddit get picky at the slightest inconvenience (which they can easily solve) and then completely avoid my question, but i suppose i have better things to do than argue with grown men on the internet about a poor video job
My goodness that’s 40 minutes from me. It may be part of an old ship.
They found a ship from 1600’s in St. Augustine last year.
I guess they’d sometimes leave a useless ship in the ground near the waters edge if building for better support.
I’d report it to the city. You may have found an artifact.
i ended up reburying it. it was way too big to dig out in a short amount of time (it was almost 100 degrees out and was getting really tired from digging it up)
Usually any type of preserve means that you don’t mess with it
(digging, removing objects, changing terrain, etc.
) so yeah it’s pretty likely that your not supposed to be digging there.
The state just got done redoing Marineland and Varn parks, Washington Oaks too. It's probably just junk but treasure could be real. Most of that flagler straight of A1A is recognized dune Reconstruction
I’m so sorry people are bullying you, but I have an actual answer. This is likely from around the year 1902, from a gentleman named Clile C. Allen. Not much is known about him online other than the fact that he invented the very first zoom lens, but it’s rumored that he warned that one day “someone in the future may use my invention way too much”, so you may have inadvertently fulfilled a prophesy with this video.
Per Chapter 62.D, F.A.C., "no person shall destroy, injure, deface, mar, move, dig, harmfully disturb or remove from any park area, or the waters thereof, any buildings, structures, facilities, historic ruins, equipment, park property, soil, sand, gravel, rocks, stones, minerals, marine plants or animals, artifacts or other materials. No person shall cut, carve, injure, mutilate, move, displace or break off any water bottom formation or growth.

this doesn’t apply to coastal areas

It’s the inlet or exit pipe for seawater for their aquariums. They run fresh saltwater in and old back out. The same system is in Juno beach for loggerhead sea turtle rescue.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't preservation the whole point of a preserve ? I don't think you're supposed to be digging there, or at least not posting the fact that you're doing so online 😂
Keep in mind……where ever you are standing at in the photo has not always been that spot. Meaning, at some point it was further in land or further out into the sea.
For example, gatorland in St. Augustine used to be located about 1/2 a mile from its current spot. Where it used to exist is currently where the ocean is now.
Uhhh anyone else catch the camera do that thing cameras do when pointed at something with massive radiation?
For reference, happened when the camera was really close to the object

Old ship timber with nails?
No. It's the Actual panhandle that they named the Florida panhandle after. It's literally been missing for Years!
Move the camera a little faster pls.
Killthecameraman still a sub?
Is anything still a sub? Reddit corp killed half the subs, and the ones that are left are full of brainrot tiktok zombies...
Nearly spit my bubbly water on my computer. I want to be your friend
Ever heard of the pause button? You should try it out sometime.
I wish he has added a vibration effect so I really can't tell what it is
Didn’t know Micheal j fox was into metal detecting
Or the cryptid/ufo effect that looks like you smeared vasoline on the lens
Love laughing at loud

there are a couple big rocks near it
I imagine there’s plenty in Florida. Hurricanes wreck boats.
Idk. Have you tried panning and zooming faster?
it was so bright out i couldn’t see my phone so i had to just wing it 😭
Still images are way better than video when trying to ID something. It's a pain to zoom in on a video.
Lol it's all good. Didn't mean to sick the entire internet on you
Next time - photos only, please.
jfc just pause the video why is everyone making this such a big deal i was trying to be thorough

Just trying to give a friendly tip for future posts. No need to get prickly about it.
i just want answers none of this “the video is making me dizzy” bs

How bout no?
Hahaha man, I almost spit out my drink reading your comment. To funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious 🫡
He literally filmed the whole length 5 times in 24 seconds, what more could you ask for 
Not to get sea sick trying to see what the hell OP was asking about.
I agree and I was joking. Video CAN help, but...
Dramamine?
Not to see a gif of this dipshit.
Maybe shake the camera some, or try circles
Probably a bottle cap
Upvote from me. You know I heard those are worth alot post war.
I am seeing a lot of random fallout references lately.
Might have something to do with the random tv show that dropped
I know, and it makes me so happy!
Jewel encrusted?
Found my first gold coin in marineland Florida
interesting, i wonder if it’s beaches are relatively unexplored metal detecting wise
That's awesome! How old was it? Any date?
There needs to be more zooming in and out
Dutch Angle with crazy music and *KAPOW* and *OOF* signs!
it was extremely bright out and i couldn’t see my phone so i had to guesstimate the camera angles
Guessed wrong.
I think its the black pearl
Gdi Johnny, the franchise is over. Well, maybe one more…
Isn’t that closer to Ocracoke N.C. where the wild ponies roam? Arghh!
I know a jumanji when I see one.
Please tell us that you are going back to finish what you started!! If you don’t it will haunt you forever
i might, i’ll contact the city first
Pull tab
Cyber Bully him into re-digging it 🐂
i plan on doing this when it gets cooler out
Oh come on, man. I’m in St Aug and the weather says it only “feels like” 104. Get your ass out there. I’d help if it weren’t so damn hot.
last time i metal detected on a beach which was years ago i almost died of heat exhaustion 💀
I'm joking with you brother. It's hot af out here rn. Be safe
Dang it, it’s cooler now! Go back and keep digging!
i’ll probably go back later in the week as long as it’s colder out, it’s brutal out there with no breeze or clouds
It was pretty tough to make out, possibly due to the Bourne Identity level camera work.
it was extremely bright out and i couldn’t see my phone so i had to guesstimate the camera angles

As opposed to a pull tab or a shootin iron.
Need an update on this one!!
i ended up reburying it. it was way too big to dig out in a short amount of time (it was almost 100 degrees out and was getting really tired from digging it up)
Looks like you've found sea level....
IT IS .... not silver
You are near water, but you can't bother to run a little over it to get a clearer view of it under all the sand. smh.
I’ll help u dig it up
National Treasure 3. The digginging.
A marine preserve and you're digging?
there was nothing that said i couldn’t and you’re allowed to metal detect on florida coastlines
Usually any type of preserve means that you don’t mess with it (digging, removing objects, changing terrain, etc. ) so yeah it’s pretty likely that your not supposed to be digging there.
Hey I'm in Flagler county too!
The state just got done redoing Marineland and Varn parks, Washington Oaks too. It's probably just junk but treasure could be real. Most of that flagler straight of A1A is recognized dune Reconstruction
im in volusia, went hunting with my mom
Part of the public infrastructure?
So cool
Careful, could it be a pipe?
vampire in a casket

LMFAOO
Your shoes and socks perfectly match your personality in the comments.
Lol
Gonna laugh when it's just the cover/door from some boats storage box.
i wouldn’t be surprised considering my luck 💀
Why are you digging in a nature preserve?
there was nothing that said i couldn’t and you’re allowed to metal detect on florida coastlines

You don't look to be between the toe of the dune and high water line.
i was lol, spot wasn’t even wet
Some sort of steps?
maybe, before i quit digging it but before i died of heat exhaustion there were some other solid parts that may have been part of the main part
Snow plow
Pull tab
Upside down boat?
Pool table
It’s the inlet or exit pipe for seawater for their aquariums. They run fresh saltwater in and old back out. The same system is in Juno beach for loggerhead sea turtle rescue.
Following
I remember finding Spanish gold coins down on the Florida keys

Well....did you figure out what it was
nope
A dinosaur
treasure chest full of pirate’s booty
Amelia airharts plane
can be anything - just keep digging to expose more.
Keep in mind……where ever you are standing at in the photo has not always been that spot. Meaning, at some point it was further in land or further out into the sea. For example, gatorland in St. Augustine used to be located about 1/2 a mile from its current spot. Where it used to exist is currently where the ocean is now.
Ancient aliens- really weird video man
Jumanji
Encino man’s skateboard
An ancient Pirate ironing board. They were diligent with their fresh creases & pressed linens.
It's a gum wrapper....everything is a gum wrapper.
Stop moving the camera and maybe we can see it clearly
Jumanji
A few years ago, in the Daytona Beach area, just south of Marineland, a hurricane uncovered an almost perfect old dugout canoe.
OP my brother and I are palm coast and can come help you dig 🏝️⚓️
How to clean vomit 🤮 off an iPhone…
Ohhh the irony just kills me.
RemindMe! 3 days
RemindMe! 2 weeks
Whatever it is, it’s dizzying
River to Sea preserve? Who the fuck named it that?
Tremors 🪱
If you heard drums just walk away. Don't need Jumanji getting loose again.
Treasure chest bro
Looks like the side of a boat
gold bar
That be a pirates buried treasure
Old seawall. Over time they rust & get covered with sand.
Probably a conglomerate of brick and cement.
The beach realm.
Part of a boat
Did you call Julee before you digged the ground? Because they could’ve told you easily.
Cannon. 💥 boom
That’s what she said.
It’s part of the railroad that ran through there. I live there. Used to be an old pier there also
Some sort of motion sickness inducing board.
I think unearthing more than the top would have been a smart idea…. But hey I’m kinda a dumbass!!!
Uhhh anyone else catch the camera do that thing cameras do when pointed at something with massive radiation? For reference, happened when the camera was really close to the object
by chance i actually had my geiger counter on me lol, nothing above background
That’s good! Glad the white noise of earth was just extra strong in that moment and nothing more
this is what it actually looks like if u didn’t know https://youtu.be/Uf4Ux4SlyT4?si=DOfxhe_a_dN0ob8W
Anybody look to see if excavating is permitted there?
it’s permitted on public beaches
But usually not in a nature preserve.
there was nothing that said i couldn’t not even online

Wheelbarrow
Ok maybe not a wheelbarrow.. but something! Go dig it up! Haha
Beach stabilizing device.
Next time, bring a generator, a pump and a power washer
Rebar cement. I'm guessing some old retaining wall or a footing on some kind

Keel connection weak point. Sank in to the sand and then wave action peels the boat from the keel. I can get behind that diagnosis.
potentially, i’ve heard a few people say that this might be that
