- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- My first beach metal detecting adventure with the XP Deus II (2) metal detector did NOT disappoint!! I came home with silver and even GOLD - not that I realised it at the time. 😂 Come and join me as I recover some long-lost treasures from the sand.
The XP Deus II is available in Australia from the good folks at Detect-Ed: www.detect-ed....

Hi, I’m Mish and I’m a metal detectorist, treasure hunter and underwater diving enthusiast from the southern coastline of Australia! My RUclips channel covers beach, land and underwater metal detecting with occasional camping and diving adventures. I like to cleanup the environment as I go and always remove trash while looking for treasures.
I’m also on Instagram and Facebook: @dirtfishmish
Amazing beach hunt and thank you for the hunt. The coffee crew will cover your coffee and you keep learning the Deus II
I love my little Coffee Crew, such a great supportive bunch of folks! Thank you Starry. 😄
@@DirtFishMish 👍👏✨
I reckon you're a champ on this machine already Mish... great hunt as you work it all out! I think it has your name on it already 😀
Aww thanks Deb! I won’t engrave my initials on it just yet but believe me, the engraving tool is in my quivering hand. 😂 Cheers!!
13:44 Shades of Paul Hogan. 😎 Fun hunt!!
hehehe, I must remember to quote croc Dundee sometime. Cheers 😂🇦🇺
Wowww that bracelets amazinggg! 😍 Oh I've done that so many times with turning my detector off for a few moments the starting to swing it again then 5 mins later realized I've never turned it back on😂
Bahaha I did that with the Excal a few times as well! At least it keeps us fit, right 😂 Cheers Nora 😄
Great Hunt Mish. Awesome bit of gold too and the silvers just add to the finds.
Being pulled to the dark side with Deus, go for it you deserve it, putting in the hours and so on.
Be safe and Happy Hunting
Brad
Thanks mate. I think my feet are dangling over that side of the fence now. 😎
Catch you on the next one Brad! 😁
Hi Mish. What a awesome hunt you had!!. You got coffee money, silver coins, gold bracelet and even got your tent pegs. What a day for you. So happy for you Mish. Well done. I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks so much Dennis - I had a blast making it! What a hunt hey 😄
@@DirtFishMish It was a awesome hunt. Keep digging Mish. Can't wait for the next video.
Hi Mesh, good finds on the silver and gold jewelry, coins and tent stakes too, very cool video thanks and please stay safe out their.
Thanks Tom, I went back here again afterwards and found next to nothing 😂 but that’s the way it goes! Cheers mate.
Cool bracelet. The little chain would have been joined to a little key!! Wonderful
Well that’s what I thought, but it would seem it’s actually for a safety chain going by the pics I found of equivalent bracelets! Still a prized piece either way! Cheers Cricket 😁
Awesome gold bracelet and nice work on the silvers Mish you are the master of all these machines 👊🏼
Never a master; always a student. Cheers mate. 😊
thats a very old victorian era bracelet! rose gold probably 1880 or early 1900s awesome find! keep the great videos coming!
WOW!! That's a little older than I suspected. I'm so thrilled with it. Thank you so much 😁
Great beach hunt, DFM. Congrats on the silver coin and the gold bracelet. Awesome!
Thanks so much, I’m super happy with my findings. 😊
Howdy Mish, That old gold bracelet is cool as. Seeing people dig up wonderful things like that really gets me motivated to get out detecting even more. I'm so pleased for you. Two silvers is nice too. A wonderful video all around so thanks for sharing. Take care and have a great week. Your buddy roelf
Thanks Roelf, you can see why I was so excited about my gold find now! I’m in love with it. 😁 I’ll be on the sand a bit again in the coming days.. keep those fingers crossed for me. Cheers!
@@DirtFishMish 🤞
Sorry for being late. Heaps on. That was a great beach hunt. Congrats on the silvers and the bracelet. That was awesome. Tent peg hunt. That made me laugh but you got enough. Good hunt mate. Catch you when I do 😁👍
Had to have a bit of fun at the end. 😁 As you saw, the tent pegs paid off! Cheers mate.
Beautiful bracelet find. Brilliant
Thank you! 😊
You just came up with the coolest rock metal band name : Ferrous Grunt !
🤣🤣🤣 I'll keep that in mind if I change career, lol!!
Great treasure day. Thanks for the video.
Great beach hunt Mish you had good finds i like the bracelet i enjoyed video and have good Day.
Thanks Jimmy! 👍
Way to go Mish!!! The new machine is proving to be a nice addition if you choose to buy it. I’ve been very busy and just now catching back up on my videos. Great adventure. Stay safe and GOD Bless
Hello there George! :) I think it'll end up in my arsenal, it does mean saying goodbye to a few other machines but I think my heart is just about ready, lol. Have a lovely weekend!
Great hunt nice gold was happy for you , great finds will catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
Thank you Fred, my oldest gold I’ve ever found for sure. Cheers mate. 😊
Congrats on the GOLD!
Thanks Mark :)
ooo, the squeaky wheel gets greased!!! coffee money galore
I don’t think I could ever part with this piece though, it has been dated around 1880-1900. Such a very special find. 🥰 Cheers!!
Nicely done 🏖️⛏️🪙⛓️🏖️!
How long did the coil last before it went flat?
Well done Mish, your navigating your way nicely on the deus ll , congrats on the 9k bracelet and those silver's, awesome day, take care 👍
Thanks mate! Loving the new challenge. 😁
Greeting from chicago great silver and GOLD! 😀👍🏻
Thank you! 👍
Good morning beautiful Great video, love the gold chain. It was 73 degrees and sunny on Saturday, its Monnday and lts 33 degrees, with 2 inches of snow on the ground already in Chicago. Thanks for getting me out metal detecting! Impossible here. Good luck and God bless you! Your friend and fan, Kevin
Oof, that’s a fairly severe shift! I’m glad I could take you on a warmer adventure. 😄 Cheers Kevin!
You were like crocodile Dundee. “ That’s a knife”. Lol
You call THAT a knife?! 😆
Really enjoying your videos. I am new to metal detecting and learning a lot by watching you during your adventures. Also, you have a delightful outlook and attitude which makes it even more fun to watch.
Thank you for the lovely comment Michele! I try not to take life too seriously; any day out is better than not getting out at all. Welcome to the hobby! 😊
Lovely bracelet Mich
Cheers GRG, I’m delighted with it!
Salve grande guerreira Mish 💎⛏️🇧🇷
Your mystery copper item is one end off an industrial ceramic fuse, it would have been tinned originally.
Awesome first beach hunt some cool coins and that 9ct bracelet was sweet. You just may buy this machine Mish. ATB Brad
Thanks Brad, yep I'm soooo close to making the call!! Cheers mate.
Mish , you go girl !
Mish , WOW , nice GOLD !
😊 Thanks bud! The oldest gold I've found, looks like it is 19th century. I am delighted. 🥰 Cheers!!
@@DirtFishMish OH yea , it's OLD
That's an incredible machine but it still requires a good driver!! Thumbs up on a job well done.
Thanks mate!! I feel like I'm on about my third or fourth driving lesson at the moment with it 😂 but every subsequent hunt is training my ear a little further. Cheers :)
Yes. Would love to see how you make dive weights
Noted! I’ll have a think about how to film it. 😁 Thanks mate.
@@DirtFishMish That’s okay Mish . And no rush . Whenever you’re up to it
The XpD2 will eat the NOX800 😁 which you know by now. Great video… that bracelet is an outstanding find. Also, the D2 is still pretty fast set on 0 reactivity. Great job mate 👍👌
I now find that reactivity 1 is the sweet spot for me on most hunts, as I have a fairly slow swing speed already. Great machine despite a crazy learning curve initially, lol. Cheers mate 😁
Awesome hunt especially that gold braclet
Thank you! 😄
That bracelet is a stunner. Congrats!
Top job u legend how's your weekend going just raining again fir me hope you have a top one keep up the hard work 💪 👍
Raining here too mate, but I’m not in one of the flooded regions thankfully. Cheers!!
Nice work, definitely getting the hang of the new toy ⛏️🇦🇺🤠
Thanks mate, yes feeling a little more confident now! It really felt like my first detector all over again. 😂
Your really showing your skills, pulling the tent pegs and the bracelet at 54 a lot of people would not have dug that been a bit scratchy, and jumping into the menu to tweak it up and down, Respect!
I noticed for a lot of the video you weren’t focused on the machine just the hunt, looking very comfortable with what you’re doing.
The “bike bell” I think is an end cap off a large fuse, there may be some porcelain on the inside edge?
Great finds and a very entertaining video. Looking forward to your next adventure, thanks for sharing.
I am learning to be guided by sound on this machine, apparently the IDs are more stable than on the original Deus but it's definitely a tonal machine. People like the IDs though so I'll keep calling them out but maybe I should do a video where I hide the remote and dig based on the integrity of the sound alone. Hmmmm. 😁
Thanks for the fuse ID, you are absolutely correct. Cheers!!
Great hunt Mish the Deus looks like a good machine so far silver and gold in one hunt nice . Look forward to the next video 👍👍🍺🍺
Was such a ripper day out! Thanks mate. 😁
Awesome Beach Hunt Mish, the Deus ll is your new machine by the looks! Another couple of bucks for its Fund 😉
Great finds 💜
hehehe, it's gonna take a bit more coffee money but I think you could be right....! Thank you :)
Metal finding gear, magnetic eyes , well wouldn't I like to be a coin or a ring. LOL !
Thank you for your findings. cheers from Canada
hehe, cheers Vita!
Awesome finds! MAJOR score ! Very happy for you!
Thanks a bunch! It's the best jewellery item I've found in a long time. :)
G'day Mish
Well done on your good hunt and well done on gold bracelet and my thoughts on the new metal detector and the Equinox 800 still outshines the new one and how would it go in a playground area ?
Thanks Ray! I think there's pros and cons to both machines, I'd like to talk about them in a future video - just need to get myself organised. I have taken the D2 into one playground so far, I don't normally do them (I prefer to hit the less common areas that people don't think to detect) but I think having the smaller 9" coil would help - Paystreak Superfreak did a recent video testing his around all the metal structures and seeing what settings worked best. Cheers!
That was a good hunt mish
wow what a sweet gold bracelet! congrats!
Thank you! :)
Another great adventure Mish and thanks. That gold find was incredible and always nice to find silver
Turns out it is potentially 19th century gold. My mind is blown! Thank you Nathaniel 😊
Hey Mish - great hunt - so many different finds today ! Amazing finds with the sixpence and bracelet 👍
Thanks Speedy! One of the better beach runs I've had lately for sure!! I'm really itching to get in more beach time, the next few days are looking good weather permitting. Have an ace weekend :)
That cap is one end of a large fuse.
Thank you!!
That was my guess too.
I agree. Good call.
Great Hunt , love the good and bad finds especially your Gold chain. We've got a foot of snow here in Nova Scotia Canada. Can't wait to get back out!
Maybe someone might lose their keys in the snow and need a detectorist? 😆 Hopefully it'll thaw soon! Cheers Kevin.
Gosh Mish, Imagine that...someone was using a gold bracelet for a sinker. How about that. Smiling, George.
🤣🤣🤣 must’ve been a high income area in the 19th century!
Laughing, I find lots of tent pegs too. : )
Hi M, That's a big change up from the Nox and striking gold.. I'd say that was a good way to break it in and from Eds testing it looks like a game changer. 👍 Oh congrats on the Gold. I'm hoping to detect in the next few days.
I'm thinking it was a sign, A. The D2 is saying 'pick me, pick me'. 😉 I was in your backyard recently but sadly didn't have a chance to call you up, I'll really have to arrange for that sometime!! Cheers :)
@@DirtFishMish I can hear the D2 saying the same to me 👍
Always a good day when you get silver Twinsy!
Especially when there’s gold as well, Twinsy!! Cheers mate.
All I got to say is your awesome love what you do 👍
Beautiful bracelet, lock jewelry like that was popular in the late Victorian to early 1900s. You can look online under Victorian padlock jewelry.
Thanks for the info Joe! I'm so pleasantly surprised to find out just how old this piece is, I only wish I could identify the maker but maybe one day I'll have some luck. Cheers :)
@@DirtFishMish I hve a similar bracelet, smaller, and I think the smaller links you thought were a safety chain may have actually held a gold key to the lock. Mine has the key but no attachment chain.
Great hunt Mish, love that bracelet. Cheers Jon
It was a great surprise! Thanks :)
Complimenti per i ritrovamenti ciao dalla Sicilia 👌🖐️🖐️🖐️
Thank you! :)
hey Mish, the small chain off the bracelet was most likely the key for the lock, happy hunting from USA
That was my original thought too, but after trying to do some research on it I'm now more convinced that it was a safety chain - and the link broke off. There's another recent find (in an upcoming short underwater video) that further confirmed my theory, keep an eye out for that one. Cheers!! :)
Sorry mate, I can see the notification for your reply here but for some reason the comment isn't showing. You asked whether I could detect on the beach that squeaks, yes? It is part of a national park, so while I believe there may be an exception for the intertidal zone (between high and low tide marks) it is generally a no-go area. Just as well I've got plenty of alternative beaches. Cheers :)
Hey, Mish! Congrats on the 8 tent pegs!! Amazing finds!
I heard you found some silver and gold too, but you can't pitch a tent with coins and bracelets....
All kidding aside, I found several very similar Victorian Era 9k gold bracelets and they can be somewhat pricey. I sent you some links just for comparison. That is really awesome AND with those silvers too!! This was actually better than I thought when you mentioned in your Community messages that you found gold! I'm very happy for you, Mish! If this doesn't help push towards the Deus.....I don't know what it's going to take! lol! The Holy Grail perhaps?
Hope to see more of this, and as always, looking forward to your next adventure!! Later, friend!
Well I haven't found the Holy Grail yet, soooo.... 😉
I'm so very pleased with the bracelet find, but you'll be pinching yourself when I finally put out that shorter underwater video (bearing in mind that the two videos were filmed less than a week apart). I won't spoil the surprise. 😉
Cheers mate!!
@@DirtFishMish There's more??? lol!! I'm hooked! See ya then!
A great first beach hunt Mish, the gold bracelet is just amazing
It really is! One of my better gold finds for sure. Thanks so much Brett :)
Fun! Sounds to me like that instrument was handing the black sand pretty well. Beginning my chattery mind dump now: The copper mystery item looks like some sort of battery terminal but that’s just a guess judging by what appears to be wire attachments. I was hoping you were going to find less lead sinkers on the beach than you do in the parks😆😆
2015, I had a divorce! It was peaceful👍 Silver coins yay! I love that you tuned into that faint whisper tone, you’re a pro. That bracelet is beautiful. As an experiment, separate the bracelet from the locket and bury the two, scan them again with different programs! Perform the experiment both in the Blacksand beaches and the regular beaches. Once you’ve modified a few settings and are getting the results you like, save the setting. It’s nice that you can use a base program to launch, adjust it and then save it. Next time you go back use your saved setting and compare it against the original. Modify whichever one seems more appropriate at that time on that day. Great show! 🤗
The mystery item has been identified as the end of a very large fuse as it had some porcelain inside the rim. You'll see more sinkers from parks in the coming few videos, because I am cursed like that! 🤣
I'd love to test the bracelet separated from the locket but after the effort it took to clean it up, I won't be risking losing or discolouring the flippin' thing again. 😆 I do like your tips though so thank you! Cheers :)
@@DirtFishMish Ya! A Big fat fuse that makes perfect sense! Well if you remember back a couple months I was also wrong about the plumbobs😆😆
Cursed like that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lovely finds, Mish. Happy weekend from Finland.
Likewise from Australia! Cheers Miko 😄
Goodmorning Mish, well that was well worth the wait, silvers are always great to pull out of the ground, and anything that shows even a hint of gold, gets the heart pumping, but jumping to conclusions can hit you like a bag of sinkers, and you didn't do that, so definitely no disappointment there, I tried to identify the hall marks, but really couldn't make them out properly, they looked a bit sand worn, the second mark looked like an S, but its the shape of the stamp mark that truly defines its year, sorry I couldn't help, but just the same, what a great find! have you had any luck identifying it since. Mish brings home the gold! Cheers!
G'day Wayne! The second mark is a '9' for 9ct, it's the first mark that I'm stumped on. It's basically an upside-down U (or a horseshoe?) with a horizontal bar underneath. Still haven't found out any further but another viewer estimated it to be from 1880-1900 😳 which is absolutely mind-boggling. Cheers!!
@@DirtFishMish Hey Mish! I just realized I was looking at silver hall marks earlier, I will check out the gold ones, when I get back from visiting friends, ill let you know if I find anything! Cheers!
Great video keep up the good videos
Thanks!! Will do. 😄
Wow, what a variety of finds.
It was a great mixed bag, and I really do hope I can get back there for more hunting soon!! Thanks for watching Paul :)
I love those finds. Great video.
That's the top of a Low Voltage fuse that's on a power pole crossarm fused isolator.
Well that explains the huge size! Cheers for that 😁
Great hunt, I took my D2 to the beach hunt an found a 1778 #4 Raele
Oh wow!! Congratulations. 😁
Hi Mish, great hunt with the new toy! Hope to get out hunting when the ground thaw’s out, great gold and silver find congrats!
Hopefully soon!! Thanks Pat :)
Nice finds.
Thank you Amy 😊
Com cabo ele fica mais robusto...ai gostei...muito bom
Thank you! 😊
Silver AND gold! Proving the new Deus? Or is it proving Mish’s ears? Awesome results either way!
Bit of column A, bit of column B I reckon! Cheers Dug!
Good one Mish. I make wind-chimes out of copper nails and sea glass/sea pottery. Amazing how old stuff inspires creativity. Northern Mudlarks, Kit and Caboodle and a few others have heaps of copper nail crafts too. Good hunt and so funny you talked yourself out of that bracelet! Must have been a bitter/sweet realisation when you got home. Nothing a bit of text on screen didn't fix though. Cheers! Have a rest now.
Gosh you'd love this place then, it's a copper nail paradise! 😆 I couldn't believe the bracelet was gold, it felt so light - but I'm told that perhaps the links had been filled with another material, and that has decayed over time leaving them hollow. Makes sense, as they did release a lot of bubbles during my cleaning process. Cheers!!
Awesome finds there, I would have thought the same about the bracelet, I've found a few items, when I got home and took a second look I was really surprised by what I had found
Always pays to double-check, hey! Cheers Brian.
Great hunt and congrats on the two silver six pence and that beautiful bracelet! We're just starting to get out here in northern Ohio after all the snow. Thanks for the detecting tips on the Deus 2 and best of luck this year!
I'm glad to hear that hunting season is starting up again for you! Glad you're enjoying the content, there'll be a few more land digs with the D2 coming up soon - I caught up with some good friends for a full weekend of digging. Cheers mate!!
Hi Mish!
Best wishes!!!!!!
Thank you! You too!
I enjoyed the video - nice finds, I subscribed
Thank you and welcome to my channel, Patricia! Glad to have you here :)
Hi Mish always enjoying your videos thankyou
Mish what a day. Congrats on the silver and gold.
Thank you!
Amazing finds Mish!!.. may I also say, you have some killer blue eyes! happy hunting!
hehe cheers!! 😄
Amazing hunt, Mish!!! Are you thinking you'll keep using the deus II??
The odds are improving with each hunt, put it that way! Hopefully wading in the next few days which is the last type of hunt I need to check with the D2. 😊
@@DirtFishMish okayyyy I guess I'll try one! haha
Seems like a pretty decent machine I thought your heavy copper item may have been a reverse beeper don’t know ,we’ve. had some rough wheather in my area branches seaweed all kinds of litter on high tide mark went out last night with excal ,before tide came in got couple of rings some pieces of junk & nice fine silver chain with infinity symbol on closer inspection the stones all are set with claws & sparkle brilliantly ,I need to get a tester they appear to be diamonds can’t post in our groups atm in fb jail lol HH another great beach video you make it look so easy mish lol 👍
Copper item was identified as the end of a huge fuse, it had porcelain inside the rim :)
The weather is a little nuts at the moment hey! I haven't had much of a chance to make the most of it but the next few days are looking good for a swing or ten. Fingers crossed on the stones, I just got a diamond tester at long last but haven't had a chance to make good use of it yet. Cheers mate!
Its a quite phenomenal beach machine love it 😀
I’ve barely had any time on the sand with it yet, but if this is an indication of what to expect then I’m very excited!! Cheers.
You know, rather than dumping out all the sand, you could just 'jig' the scoop up and down and the all the sand and small stuff will just sieve through the holes in your scoop leaving the find behind.
If you do it over your hole, it'll fill the hole up too so you don't have to kick it all back in with your foot
#TheMoreYouKnow!
😁
Thanks, however it 100% doesn't work with this beach. This sand clumps and doesn't sift efficiently. Plus with a mixed hole scoop like mine, it doesn't have good sifting holes in the middle.
I have a smaller scoop with larger holes that does this better but even it struggles on this sand.
Cheers! :)
@@DirtFishMish nahhh...just means you need to jig a little harder 😆
Oh well, at least you got some good finds! 👍
Well done mish 👌
Excellent hunt and video, congrats!
Thanks a bunch!
Interested to see which way you swing in the future, equinox or Deus II. I might pick one up around August, got your link saved.
I think regardless of my end configuration of machines, I'd always like to have one "grab and go" machine (eg. the Equinox) and one advanced/diving machine (eg. the D2). It's nice to have an easy-to-use unit that is good to go for most situations, the Deus II however really shines if you're tweaking it for specific purposes and goals.
That's really kind of you to bookmark the link too, those affiliate links are an immense support for my channel. Thank you :)
You're sounding like your "old" self! Still praying for a full recovery, though.
Hi Mish,
I recently found your channel whilst researching metal detectors as I'm looking at getting in to this hobby. I love your content and have subscribed :)
Anyway, I've noted in my travels on RUclips that the the Nox800 seems to be highly recommended and I see you have been using it a fair bit in your videos until recently when you are trying the Deus 2.
Will you be making a video where you will share your thoughts on this detector and how it stacks up against the Nox800? I'd be keen to hear your thoughts as this will help my decision in which detector to get for same sort of detection that you do but on the western side of this continent :)
Anyway I look forward to your reply. Keep up the great videos.
Hello there and I’m glad you found me! 😄 I’ll give you a short answer and then a longer one - short answer, don’t start with a Deus 2. 😊
Longer answer… there is no doubt it is a machine with brilliant potential, but even with some years of frequent detecting under my belt I still consider it to have a very steep learning curve. Something to aspire to for sure; but as a newbie this would’ve put me off the hobby and the price tag really isn’t appealing for a first detector either.
The Equinox was my second ever detector (I upgraded from a Minelab Go-Find 22 which was too de-featured for my liking) and I would consider the Equinox to be a good all-rounder. Took me about 3 months to feel confident with the machine. There’s a tonne of online reference videos out there for it these days. Also worth considering is the brand new Nokta Makro Legend, which is essentially a new direct competitor to the Equinox (slightly cheaper RRP as well!) and the first recipients have been reporting great things about it.
I will compile my thoughts on a video in time; but hopefully this is food for thought. Cheers! 😊
@@DirtFishMish Thank you for your quick and detailed response. As a newbie to this hobby I definitely want something that will cause as little frustration as possible but also something that has decent amount of 'useful' features that will enable me to grow into the hobby without rushing out after a few weeks and upgrading so sounds like the Equinox is the sort of machine I should be looking at especially with the huge amount of reference videos etc.
I have come across the Nokta Macro Legend name but have yet to do any serious research in to it and how it compares to the Equinox.
Anyway, of to do some more research, lol. Thank you again for your time responding. Greatly appreciated.
not sure what that brass thingy was, but it isn't the bottom of a bicycle bell. Not sure if those Deus are worth the extra dough. The Equinox would have found all of those finds. Fast recovery has its drawbacks too. Loved the silver, but I see that you are far from being fully recovered.
Looks like it was the end of a heavy-duty fuse according to several viewers. I found a bicycle bell in a subsequent hunt with a very similar design, hence the assumption. :)
The 'nox would've been a bit scratchy on that gold in the mineralised sand, I struggle with lower conductors in that area (and have found equivalent range gold there before, but only just). Pretty well recovered now, just tired here and there. Cheers!
@@DirtFishMish Yeah I know the fuse they are talking about. Gold is not easy to detect. I have even found threepences that are very scratchy.
9 tent pegs? I would be very reluctant to send the machine back. Maybe a trade? Seems like it is doing you well. Happy hunting, cheers!
8 tent pegs in the end, good guess! I think I'll be reducing my stable of three detectors to make room for this one. Just one more type of scenario I wish to sample it in first - a wading hunt. Cheers!!
Show Menina.
Muito legal, com bela imagens.
Thank you 😄
You should definitely buy the detector !! And have you ever done a hunt without filming?
I’m in the process of trying to sell a few machines now to make it happen! I don’t hunt often without the camera at the moment simply because I don’t get out often for now, I also work and am a parent so the schedule is a little nuts. Hoping in future this’ll be the primary income and then I can have some more ‘off-camera’ time like I used to. Cheers mate 😁
@@DirtFishMish no worries mish would like to see more of the new metal detector!!!! I think it’s absolutely amazing 🤩
That was a very nice outing indeed, sunny day, fresh air and treasures! How old do you think that heart of gold is? Do you think the Deus is better at finding gold or was it just the fresh erosion bringing new targets closer to the surface? I hope your lucky streak continues. Cheers
Thanks so much, Harry! A viewer has dated it between 1880-1900, which could definitely fit for this area, but my mind is absolutely blown. 🤯
I believe both factors you mentioned are correct. Fresh erosion, but having pulled gold from this location in the past (in similar conditions) I would be certain that the signal was clearer on the Deus 2, gold from here has always been very scratchy on the Equinox even in Beach 2 mode (which is more weighted to higher frequencies), as the sand it quite mineralised. I’ll be beach hunting some more in the coming days for sure. Cheers!
The mystery item looks like the end off a large fuse
Yep, confirmed by a few people now. It had some porcelain left inside the rim. Cheers! 😁
Looks like a large fuse cap.
Very cool hunt and awesome finds Mish--Congrats. ATB PullTab
Hello. Awesome finds.👍
Why use an antenna if you're digging on land?🤔
Because I’m the sort of person who’ll go out with a plan to dig on sand, and end up waist deep in the water. 😂 I was planning for all possible outcomes and I would’ve been very frustrated if I turned up without the antenna and then spotted good erosion under the water’s surface. Cheers!
