Beach Metal Detecting GOLD and Silver with the Minelab Equinox 800!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 ноя 2022
- Oh my gosh, what a day!! I went beach metal detecting with my trusty old Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector, and had an exceptionally lucky day, finding a gold and silver jewellery spill, historic Australian coins and a few other surprises. It is almost as if the beach were welcoming me home... ❤️

Your adopted grandfather from St Petersburg Florida.🌼🌻
Great to see the nox again matey 😃👍👍
Well done Mish, hope you can find the rightful owner, looks to me the Nox is telling you to use me ..use me 😂..
Drives me nuts....especially kids they hover over you and wont leave you alone. Cool jewelry find.
Yes! Nice way to end my day before my usual 5AM Saturday start!
that was a nice day out. My cloth ears could hear a drumming sound in the background. I was waiting for you to turn around and show us an emu following you about. Good finds.
Congrats Mish what a hunt and it is good to see the mighty Nox has still got it . Look forward to the next video 🍺🍺👍👍
Enjoyed thanks Mish.
Funny many times I've used the video feature on phone to have some loud obnoxious foghorn leghorn stuff it up.
Demuxed and replaced him with sweet music hahaa!
love that kangaroo penny! its funny for me watching you use the nox, thinking i know what the signal is, but then remembering your coins ring up differently than the ones in the US lol
😲 Wow what a Find💥💥💥🙂
Hello Mish..... good to see you and the Nox out on an adventure..... good digging!
great dig mish, cant believe the luck,, the thick chain with rings,, omg
Mish you put us all to shame! That was great, what finds congrats, I am a noxer and am glad to see you brought it out on such a nice day and it rewarded you big time. Looking forward to the next outing cheers from Canada, oh by the way we have snow on the ground now waaaa!
Winning big at the underground Casino, love your videos, 🍻
What a great phrase - I must remember that one! Thank you :)
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed. I also have an equinox but haven’t gotten out much lately in NJ.
Glad your back on the sinkers and keep up the great vidspls
Awesome dig, we’ll done. That jewellery find was something else. But who doesn’t love find 925 silver coins. Thanks for sharing
Good finds :) Happy weekend.
Kewl beans!
Great hunt Mish! Amazing jewellery to start.. 😃
Great show enjoyed the finds keep it going 👍🏻
The beach certainly did give you a welcome back, as have your viewers, Im hoping we all get to see many more Dirt Fish Mish adventures! and that your subs keep climbing! looks like a good day for detecting, think i might head out soon myself, but no beach for me, Cow paddock, Cow paddy's and very long grass! cheersMish!
I hope there’s some treasure among the pats there Wayne, how good is this weather at long last!! Thanks mate.
@@DirtFishMishIts been a top day! and ive been wasting it weeding and trimming the garden, looks better, but just isnt as much fun! Another one of those jobs that are neglected when theres detecting to be done, no finds yesterday! The previous days I had been searching in the long grass and at home and the car for my lost GoPro it was missing for 2 days, On the way home after my search, i could hear a rattling noise coming from outside the car, thinking it was my muffler that i had recently repaired. until i pulled into the driveway, and I had the thought, did I leave it on the car roof, which I didn't believe, as it is something I never do, except this time, somehow , I had!. How it stayed there for 2 days ill never know, it couldn't fall of the side's because of runners along the roof's edge which also hid it from view, but front or back, easy peasy! and it hadn't been drenched in rain either, it was a major relief! because i didnt have to buy a replacement, and i could stop searching. So the story has a happy ending. and you dont have to read any more of it. Yay! says Mish. Take care and Cheers!
Great hunt sweetheart 💯💯💯
On a side note. 9.9K subs. Pretty amazing, Mish.
Thanks so much for your channel Mish. Have been wanting to get out and amongst it with my wife for a long time. Have just pulled the trigger on the Nox 800. Love the upgrades you’ve installed on yours! Can’t wait for it to arrive and hit our local Gold Coast beaches!
That's amazing!! Congratulations on the new acquisition. The Equinox 600 & 800 (yes, I had both 😂) served me well. While I may have moved on to different machines these days, the same logic still applies across the vast majority of coin and relic machines - a high number (on that machine's scale) corresponds to a highly conductive target eg. copper/silver/large aluminium, a lower number is a lower conductive target eg small jewellery and GOLD. You'll want to dig up all 21-22 signals as that's where the $1 and $2 coins will be hiding - may as well pay off the machine. :)
As for the upgrades, Detect-Ed actually have a package deal that includes all of the exact components I have on this machine, as well as some extra coil washers and the cap that I wear everywhere. The lever lock shaft is a game changer - no more sand stuck in the pins of the original shaft when you try to adjust it! You'll actually get 10% off if you use the link that I pop here as well, they like to look after my viewers!! Here you go: collabs.shop/wp5mtq
Happy hunting to you both, I can't wait to hear how you go. Cheers. :)
@@DirtFishMish Thanks so much for your advice and for sharing the link, we will most definitely take that on board! I have already sourced a good few upgrades and received incredible service from the legends at Detect-Ed, but there is always more gear we will need as we go along so will put that link you shared to good use! (Oh and yeah the ‘red belly’ carbon shaft with the quick release is a game changer indeed!!!)
@@thedjdrexxx my pleasure! Happy adventuring!! 😁
Congratulations on your finds 👍👍♥️ Nice to know that you tried to return the items back to the oners ❤️💍💍💍🗝️
As always a great video! Well worth the wait.
Great hunt I loved it so much. You are great
What a great hunt! What more could you ask for beautiful sunny day at the beach❤
Got to be happy with a day like that 👍
Great finds Mish , it will be hard to beat for your future hunts! But that's what keeps us coming back. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
Whoo-Hoo!! Sinker finds! Mish is back on the prowl. lol. Fantastic job pulling the rings and chain from the sand. Cheers Mish!
Wow a jewellery spill and a sinker spill, someone would have been pretty upset losing that im sure. Probably more the former than the latter 🤣🤣
Bahaha… so true. I do wish I’d STOP finding sinker spills though. 😆 Cheers Brett!
Wow. What a great hunt you had.!
Thanks for the great video
Great to see you out again as always love from UK
Beautiful video as always! Amazing finds too! 🏖️⛏️⛓️💍⛏️🪙
Awesome video you had some finds i enjoyed your video and good Luck to you.Good Day to you.
Absolutely happy for you, Mish. Yes, that gold and silver jewelry dump was incredible, but since I know how much you love your Florins, that is what really made me lean back in my chair and smile. Congrats on that! A goldie, and a few pre-decimals on top of that too? I can see why you were basically speechless at the end. And let's not forget the traditional sinkers! Your other recent video was lacking in sinkers and that was pointed out to you by several of your regular viewers and fans. The video just wasn't the same. I'm glad you finally got them back in your treasure bag.
As always, Mish, loved your adventure and can't wait for the next one! Later, friend!
Best sign off yet. lol.
"Rotting seaweed is umm.....yep, it's something."
I’m glad to have sinkers back on the board as well, it just wasn’t right not having those around. 😂 What a day - and you’re right, the Florins really do make my day. Cheers mate. 😊
Lovely seeing you again Mish !! I too have recently had a really good day at the beach in Nelson , NZ ! Very recently lost Im pretty sure , but a 18ct white gold ring with 10 little diamonds ! Maybe an engagement ring , I tried to find the owner with no luck , so its with the police , might get it back in a month or so , but its engraved so Id rather get it back home !
wow!! that bracelet/rings find was too cool! congrats! I own the 800 Equinox and love it. Been considering getting the cord cover like you have but in green. Love that old coin too.
Good to see you out with an equinox again, Mish! Nice finds!
Not gonna lie, Mish - I had a good chuckle over your sly explanation of why the XPDII was taking the day off. 😎 But I too, am a huge Minelab fan, and there's always room for one of their excellent machines at a hunt...in fact, it might be time for me to arrange a checkup for my Excal II.
Your thongs are such a low profile, that at first, I thought you were actually detecting barefoot. I know a few folks that do, but that's more risk than I'll personally take, especially with the OPEN folding knives I've dug, just under the sand! Even if I'm not going in the water, I'll usually wear thick soled dive boots. The bracelet/multi-ring combo was pretty awesome, and it was great that you were able to wrap things up with some older coins, especially the silver! I'll always envy my Aussie and Brit detecting counterparts their generally greater amount of LARGE coinage, and more extensively circulated larger denominations. It's fairly rare for U.S. detectorists to dig dollar coins, of any era. Americans still really haven't become accustomed to their usage, and either avoid them, or put them in their dresser drawer, figuring "that'll be worth something, some day!". With very rare exception, the answer is "Nope" 😆
When the government finally realizes they need to terminate the U.S. $1 bill (and the penny!), we'll finally start digging the dollar coins on a regular basis.
P.S. The limited edition A-Z coin concept is pretty neat, although I literally flinched a bit when you found the Zed version, and I saw "ZINC" boldly on the coin which, I realize is in regard to zinc based sunscreen....but as you may or may not know, the U.S. one cent coin has been all zinc with a very thin copper plating, since 1983...and they turn to GARBAGE quickly, in the environment, especially SALT environments. Oh well, such is the life of a detectorist, right? Keep digging the good stuff!
Hi Mish fun video and you did really good today. It would be gratifying to find the owner of the bracelet and rings. I wanted to give you one last update on Hurricane Ian hitting the town I live in. When the storm hit land the water was 12 feet above normal and destroyed everything in it's path for miles. When the water receded it pulled all that debris, broken glass, cars, construction material along the beaches and out into the Gulf Of Mexico. This is going to harm the environment and sea life for years plus the people that just want to swim or go diving. that is so sad to me. Thanks for the videos
Wow, that’s devastating. I’m so sorry. There are flooded regions around my state at the moment (not where I am) and it is only just this week that we are starting to receive warm weather, the wettest October on record for our state if I recall. Very strange times. Stay safe mate.
Hey Mish...i really enjoy your videos. Congrats to your nice Finds and keep on digging. Greetings from northern Germany.👍👍
What a great hunt, congrats on your cool finds. Happy hunting!
Amazing finds! Way to go!
Congrats. Wish we were closer and could go together. Happy hunting mate.
Brava in un colpo solo argento e oro braccialetto grosso complimenti 😎😎😎😉e altra roba 😏😏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow on the 4 rings and bracelet M that's awesome, great hunt and looking forward to your next one cheers A 😊
Excellent video,Mish ! Lets get her to 10k subs and beyond,guys !!
Aw, thanks for the support Mark! 😊
@@DirtFishMish Any time,Mish...cheers
Ready and waiting!
Howdy Mish, That jewelry spill was amazing. You can imagine someone taking off all their precious stuff and laying it on the sand so they don't lose it in the sea. Than some bloke comes by in his Aussie work shoes and flip flops sand all over them. My oh my. You come along awhile later and dig it all up. Fun stuff with lots of other great finds. I really enjoyed it. Take care. Your buddy, Roelf
I don’t imagine I’ll ever come across a spill of that magnitude again, at least not for some time, still can’t quite believe it! Thank you Roelf 😊
Love your videos keep up the great work
Hi, looking in from San Diego, California. I found a 14k yellow gold ring once with a detector, this was forty years back.
Hola amiga, felicitaciones por el video y por esa aventura en la playa, éxitos en sus Detecciónes, saludos y un gran abrazo desde Chile para usted amiga 😀👏🇨🇱🙋♂️
Where you detect is one of my all time favourite places to be. I do try and get there often to just ponder and beach comb. To think whats under my feet is our history, makes me happy and watching you find all those old coins is amazing and thanks to you for saving some of our past. Love what you do.
Isn't it just a lovely landscape (thanks for your discretion, too 😊). I quite often have a sit at the end of the session, and just watch the world go by for a little while. Glad you're enjoying the videos! :)
Just a big ol’ glob of treasure in the scoop! Holy cow!
An amazing day , congrats!
Wow. Now that's a great jewelry spill. Congrats.👏👏👏
Thanks for the video.
What some awesome finds with the Nox 800. BTW, if you painted your toenails red it would be easier to see where the finds are in the sand…🤣🤣🤣
Super hunt Michelle! Always love the vids and Congrats on bracelet and rings!!! Never count out the Eqinox! Got 301 rings last year and just hit 300 this year with 2 months left! Thanks for another highly entertaining video as always!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
great finds...
Drago mi je zbog tvog kanala,veliki pozdrav i svako dobro🤝🤝🤠
Hello Mish, superbe vidéo 👌🙏🤠
love the safety boots...lol
No chance of wearing the steel capped toe variety by accident! 😂
The nox has a pinpointer built in I keep forgetting to use it too.
Hello Mish...what a great video...amazing!! Hey...what is this soundtrack?? Really some soul stirring, uplifting tunes...pretty much like your videos!!
Greetings from Finland!
Thanks Pedro! I use music from Epidemic Sound: www.epidemicsound.com/referral/wyp1x5
That way I can use the music on RUclips but also on Facebook, Instagram etc!
I believe the first track on this video is 'Melody of Daylight' by 'dvine'. Glad you liked it, cheers :)
The old Equinox is still a great Machine, killer on old deep coins.
I agree. It is dynamite on the silver.
@@DirtFishMish Sure is Mish.
04:00 this find easily remains in my Top-Ten video moments...just absolutely incredible!!
Were you able to return them??? If not, YOU deserve such treasures!!
Beautiful blue eyes!
Hi...it's been a while 😅 but what a superb hunt...congrats..😍
Mish , You go Girl !!!!
One of your nicer finds !
All those rings in one hole.
Mish have you been checking out the Manticore ?
Two of my favorite detectors out of the 14 I own are the E-trac and CTX.
I like the fact they added some of the features of the CTX.
Sweet finds Mish !
G’day Wayne, thanks bud! Yes I’m definitely watching it with interest, some of those features look fantastic and I like the idea of improved waterproofing too. One to watch for sure. Cheers mate!
Texas is ready
Hello my fellow dirt fisher!!!!
Hi Mish, glad to see you out and about detecting. This was an amazing hunt I was stunned when you pulled 4 rings and a link chain bracelet. I know you were as well. Have you found the owner yet? Great Day for you! Have a great weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Susan! No luck yet, I did a lot of work trying to find details matching the other inscription as well as local searches for Billy James with no luck. Our area is subject to seasonal tourism and so it is possible they are not local, but I’ll keep their items safe and who knows, perhaps a viewer will be able to put us in touch. You just never know when the conversation will arise! Cheers 😊
Cool lot of goody.
Very nice video
Hi Mish. Great video. Really enjoy watching your uploads. I was wondering if you can tell me where you purchased the ID decal you have on your machine. Apologies if you have mentioned this before. Thanks and keep the videos coming 😀
Thanks
I must say, I like sweater weather.
Hi you do a great Job there ❤
Boa noite.... Legal o eqüinox...
keep calm mish and run XD fantastic find! nox 800 is a good machine but i pass to deus 2 and dont regrat that.
That kangaroo penny is as old as my dad.
看了你的视频 对我帮住很大 谢谢你的视频
Tre bien
Ahhh the smell of rotting seaweed, you know that you are at the beach. Awesome recovery, it would be good if those rings etc get back to the owner. They were probably having a great day until they realize they lost that lot. Lucky that they were all together.
You are doing well Mish
Cheers
Brad
PS Sorry I missed your live stream this morning.
Saya suka vidio anda.👍❤
Salam hunter dari indo⛏🇮🇩
Hi Mish. Thanks for another entertaining vid. Is the screen protector with target numbers that you have on your NOX, available anywhere, or did you make it? Thanks again
If you Google ‘ozvolley Equinox’ you should be able to find the protectors 😊 Cheers!
@@DirtFishMish Will do! Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Hi Mish may i ask where you got your leg strap on bag you put your rubbish in best Mark
What camera and selfie stick do you use?
hey! I hope you see this comment, has there been any changes on your beach metal detecting settings if so id love to know
The biggest change is that I don’t use this detector anymore 😅 I mostly use the Nokta Legend on the beach, in Beach Multi-Wet mode. But for the Equinox - Beach 1 for dry sand and stable wet sand, Beach 2 once the ground was too wet or chattery for Beach 1. They’re both great machines. Happy hunting 😁
💕💯
Have you done some snorkeling with the 800 ?
Hi there, Silverstripe! Short answer: a little bit! I did in the past, a few years ago -- I don't think I have any 'nox snorkelling on my channel though as they were a couple of recovery missions that I didn't film at the time. The only underwater Equinox video on my channel I believe is one where I was testing the BLU3 Nemo - ruclips.net/video/etnCa-pakBI/видео.html - it was in a rock pool though so I only found a couple of sinkers. While it is a fantastic beach machine, I'm not fond of the 600/800's track record with it's waterproofing so I didn't like to take the control pod underwater very often.
Shortly after that video, I acquired an Excalibur II for a while and eventually traded that in towards a Deus 2, which is my diving machine of choice today as it is both light and submersible to 20M/60ft. My alternate machine is now the Nokta Legend and the 800 is my husband's machine.
Sorry for the long answer! :)
@@DirtFishMish Don't be sorry , helping me work out what one I need to use and what works for the best for 800 .
Thank you for your reply.
SILVERSTRIPE
@@SILVERSTRIPETREASUREHUNTER no worries at all! Sounds like you’re in for some fun adventures. 😊
@@DirtFishMish yes we are thank you for the help.
