Beach Metal Detecting for Coins, Relics and.. Dinosaurs!? 🦖

[@kennymead6917]

The thing with the rod is a piston from a camp lamp or stove pump. here they are made by Coleman.

[@DirtFishMish]

Awesome. Thanks for the ID Kenny, appreciate it 😁

[@normagrimstad8869]

It’s interesting how old relics that are just from cars or lamps or contraptions, still have this ‘thing ness’ that the eye is attracted to, and the hand wants to hold. Well made and beautiful, so different from many modern things.

[@DirtFishMish]

You expressed my thoughts perfectly here, Norma. They invite curiosity. It's also so much fun to ask viewers to chime in with their thoughts, I learn so much every time I put up a mystery item! Cheers. :)

[@skyedancer3106]

Hi Mish, what a great selection of items. Didn't reach coffee money amount, you did find some. The little dinosaur spill was the cutest. Great video. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤

[@DirtFishMish]

It was a very fun end to the day. Cheers Skye 😊🦖

[@martaminder2716]

You were correct on the generator plate. Auto Light made 6 volts for early cars and tractors. A fun day, thanks for sharing.

[@DirtFishMish]

How awesome is that! I’m definitely keeping that piece in my collection, I love it. Cheers Marta. 😊

[@mikerobey5953]

Great beach hunt Mish! Sinker Squad will be happy you made that big haul. The Autolite tag could indeed be a regulator tag or a starter or generator tag. Mainly used on Ford vehicles. Also, I also think the brassy rod is a pump for a gas stove or lantern. Pressurizes the tank. Till next time- Cheers!

[@DirtFishMish]

Cheers Mike, I figured the sinker squad would approve! These relic beach hunts are always so much more interesting to me, everything tells a story. Most folks agree with you on the rod so that's what I'm going with! :)

[@flamingomtn]

What a FUN hunt! You found so many interesting things. I almost love that kind of hunt more than finding the usual beach suspects, coins, rings, bottle caps. I love that Australian coins are so big. When you find one, you really feel like you found something. I saw some Auto Lite distributors that had that type of plate, but not brass. I'll keep an eye out.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks, Marti! That’s why I like spots like this as well - I won’t get rich anytime soon, but the finds spark intrigue and discussion, and there’s always the chance of beautiful coins that no longer exist in modern currency such as the kangaroo pennies (we stopped using them in the 1960’s). The auto lite plate was confirmed to be an old automotive generator plate, which is seriously cool. Cheers! 😊

[@Speedydig]

Got to love a dinosaur spill !!! Lovely coins and interesting relics thanks Mish

[@DirtFishMish]

Such a fun end to the day! Cheers Speedy.

[@jaimechapa7828]

Congratulations!,Nora ,that was freaking awesome!, please go back and find the other half of that beautiful bracelet

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi there Jaime, I think you meant this comment for my friend Nora 😉 but I do hope she finds the other half as well, it was an amazing find!!

[@roelf8653]

Howdy Mish, It's really interesting how that sand gets all the little ridges in it at that spot. Every beach that I have visited has smooth sand. It's cool looking. I liked the little crab army too. Fun hunt with pieces from some far flung places. Thanks for bringing it to me. It brightened my day. Hope your feeling better. Take care. Your buddy, Roelf

[@DirtFishMish]

Slow but powerful tidal changes here, which in conjunction with the dense sand causes those lovely ripples. I think it's a nice visual for viewers. :) Thank you Roelf!

[@leeclyma]

Sinker Spill 🤙🏻🤙🏻 Go the Legend!! Loving the Roo pennies!! Lmao @ Dinosaur Spill 😂

[@Roberto.Giuseppe]

Hi Mish, nice beach hunt, love the pre decimals. Have no idea of what the mystery items are, but guessing it may be part of an old timber boat. cheers Robert

[@DetectorismoItai]

very good your video !!! Fantastic coins and redemptions !! arriving to add and already leaving that deserved like !!!! greetings from Brazil !!!

Nice finds Mich - always great to hit a few predecs

Thanks mate, always an interesting journey in a spot like this! 😁

[@johnpaepke5847]

love watching your vids mish,every one of them inspires me that little bit more

[@timelordmagnums357]

Mishers the Detectorist is showcasing her hunting skills and I like it

[@DirtFishMish]

That sounds like a very interesting spot to detect! Congrats on the books 😁

[@southernrelics]

Those soldier crabs were storming the beach 😂

[@DirtFishMish]

They’re a mighty little army!

[@normagrimstad8869]

They were adorable.

[@vernowen2083]

The last item I suspect it's a manual choke for a model T as well as the tag is a name plate for a model T starter motor.

[@DirtFishMish]

Oh wow, yep I can picture that! That’s seriously cool. Thanks for the food for thought. 😁

[@ronsdigginthemidwest5502]

Oh my goodness! I missed this while exploring Ireland! Fun getting caught up! What a fun day!

[@DirtFishMish]

I hope you had a wonderful time, Ron! It was a great little day out. The dinosaurs were a fun ending. Cheers mate!

[@ronsdigginthemidwest5502]

@@DirtFishMish Ireland was absolutely awesome! I was sad to learn ahead of departure that the Republic of Ireland doesn’t allow detecting. But really I didn’t miss it too much because there are so many things to do and explore! Thanks again for sharing!

[@DirtFishMish]

@@ronsdigginthemidwest5502 that’s a shame about the detecting, but I’m glad you had a great time. 😁

[@tonyreynolds1557]

Enjoyed your hunt. I would love to be able to get some of the Australia coins. The large Kangaroo penny is awesome.

[@derekthurgood4889]

Another interesting hunt Mish, as usual. Love watching your vids

[@terryosz8458]

Some great finds nice video God bless and stay safe

[@pamcook4607]

Fun time for sure being with you on this beach adventure. That one item looked like a throttle or part of it maybe from a boat. That’s my guess.

[@waynearmstrong5233]

Wow! detectorist and paleontologist! Kennymead beat me to the punch, but his answer was a much better description! the cup shaped object with square hole is possibly the back half of a door knob. Glad to hear you are on the mend, keep on mending, Cheers Mish!

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks mate! I just never know what’s going to come out of the sand here, it’s always a real mixed bag. Dinosaurs weren’t expected though. 😂

[@waynearmstrong5233]

@@DirtFishMish Thats what's great about it, What will the next surprise be!

[@jimmymalone3494]

A very good hunt I enjoyed your video.

[@patjacques5391]

Mish love your hunt very relaxing and interesting finds! To bad winter is coming your way or summer is just beginning here😊

[@DirtFishMish]

It’s a double-edged sword - winter is much harder to film due to the weather, but there’s always a chance of it carving up a new patch of erosion on the beach and thus improving my finds! The hardest part is motivating myself to get out there. 😂

[@patjacques5391]

@@DirtFishMish at least no snow we get snow and frozen ground can’t dig. Looking forward seeing you

[@larry785]

16:00 That's a pump for a lantern or portable gas stove - Coleman?

[@DirtFishMish]

I think you’ve got it! Cheers!

[@PAPOLE1]

Hi Mish hope alls well I saw that thier was a 7.7 near australia just hoping all is ok stay safe thankyou for the video

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks for the message Papole - I just checked the news to see it - I'm very, very far from that area, so we didn't feel anything here. Enjoy the video - you're the first to see it! :)

[@jesstibbett7328]

I think that the brass piece you found is a plunger for a camp stove

Thank you!

A great and varied range of targets there Mish! Also can you send some of your weather over to Auckland. It's miserable here haha. Cheers

Ha! Thank you!

[@mr.ghornitalianmetalhunter]

Like 321 hi Mish,great video as always,very interesting item😁💪 and coins,all the best

[@kevincarther]

Great finds Mish , of your finds the long brass item looks like a primer for something? Like a Coleman lamp to pump air into fuel tank .cheers.

[@DirtFishMish]

That's the general consensus, thank you Kevin!

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Mish that was an interesting hunt. it seemed heavy going i bet your arm was sore when you finished. I was beaten to the punch re the rod that would have been my guess to, all the coins were interesting also. Who would have thought you would have a dinosaur spill and a lead sinker spill in the same hunt. thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.🦖🦕🐍👍

[@DirtFishMish]

The dinosaur spill was a fun little end to the day! I do get fairly fatigued after filming a beach hunt, as the filming aspect means that everything drags out a little longer than detecting off-camera. Wouldn't have it any other way, though - it's so fun to take folks on a journey. Cheers mate.

[@davelevey9074]

Great vid as always

[@laurieboyle3338]

15.24 primus stove pump or plumbers blow torch pump.

[@DirtFishMish]

Excellent ID skills, thank you Laurie!

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Well done you. Good haul of predecimals. Mystery items. First one. Don’t know. Second looks like it went over a square shaft. Maybe on a door but it looks big. The third I reckon is a pump mechanism for the likes of a blow torch or the like. Good day out. 👍👍😁

[@DirtFishMish]

You mean to say that the first find was “one of those”? 😆 Look it’s no fossick among the goldfields, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Cheer mate 😁

[@lyovazi8533]

very good findings!

[@65bugnut]

Hi Mish. I tried to do some digging to find out about your tag that you found for the Auto Lite System. It could possibly go to a voltage regulator like you mentioned, or a headlight. The only other mention of an Auto Lite System is for an electric starter for a car from 1915. Hope that helps. John

[@DirtFishMish]

Confirmed to be a regulator, very early automotive. Very happy with that piece, hopefully the rest of the car didn’t follow that plate into the sand. 😂 Cheers John!

I was thinking maybe a choke from and old boat engine or car engine but thats only a guess. Great channel

[@lehmannfabrice5867]

Nice Mish 😊 👍👋😎

[@theresaduggan426]

When we were kids mum n dad used to send us out onto the sand to look for money that had been exposed by the wind overnight (I think it was for their ‘alone time’🤭) and that was our spending money for the day. I’m talking about mid 70’s so no zippers in shorts . Lollies (Chonks) were 4 for 1c then too! Ahhh, good times!

[@DirtFishMish]

This made me chuckle!! Love it.

[@RaymondCatherwood]

hello, found about 30 or so what looked like 10 cent peices but they've actually lead with no markings on them ,found them on the beach with my equinox 800 ,been there for a long time . Any ideas what they are please . they are pretty well the size of a ten cent peice ,come up 15 16 on the equinox .

[@Detectornatureza-detectorismo]

Very nice! Coins kangaroo 👍😊. I'm from Brazil

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you! We stopped using these coins in the 1960’s, but our modern $1 coin has kangaroos on it as well. 😁

[@freso-cool]

I don't understand why your channel is underrated.. post more videos mish

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you kindly! 😁

[@brucemullis479]

Those old shotgun shell bases would make a cool epoxy table or a gun rack. That's my thinking.

[@DirtFishMish]

That’s not a bad idea! Between beaches like this and the goldfields, it wouldn’t be hard for me to collect enough for a project like that. The resin side of things would be more of a challenge for me. You’ve got me thinking!! 😄

[@treasure_hunter3107]

greetings from Ukraine. Very nice. you are well done

[@roterana2029]

Cool🎉🎉

[@Insideoutie]

Hi Mish. If you feel good with it, offer some of your finds to your volunteer museum. They know so much and are grateful to be able to display old coins buttons medals whatever, but these are the people who have the ability to get permissions for you to detect historical properties and private and public sites not usually accessible to metal detectorists. Just a thought. I get the thrill out of finding not possessing and the liason with people who get their rocks off on local history is invaluable. Also I am pissed. Sorry

[@DirtFishMish]

I’ve developed some wonderful friendships and connections through this hobby, including passionate local historians. Part of my displaying these finds in videos is exactly that - telling a piece’s story to the world rather than simply stuffing it in a box. No worries about your disclaimer there 😂 have a great weekend mate.

[@SaltwaterSean]

Woooooooo!!!🎉

[@peterwright217]

just remember with the 1 cent and 2 cents; there is about 4 million dollars worth of missing coins still not accounted for......keep looking mish!

[@DirtFishMish]

That was my first run on the latest software update, so far so good! The water temp is around 15C/59F now. You definitely know about it when you walk in, which is why my tolerance for sticking it out to find heavier targets in the water was low. 😂 Cheers Marc 😊
