Metal Detecting an Old Beach for Forgotten Treasures!

Oooh it has been a while, however I'm back out on the beach with my metal detector and searching for long-forgotten treasures! It feels good to be back. 😊
Thank you to my lovely community for all the messages and comments while I took a break from creating videos, I am now beyond the point of being able to answer everyone personally but I do read everything that I see! I'm not quite back to uploading regularly, however we should be settled into our new home in the coming weeks. 🏠

🇦🇺 ABOUT ME: 🇦🇺
Hi, I’m Mish and I’m a metal detectorist, treasure hunter and underwater diving enthusiast from the southern coastline of Australia! My KZbin 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

Hello fellow metal detectors, I have a rookie mistake that I'm embarrassed about. I got all geared up with my new equipment, arrived at the site to explore. As I was detecting, I kept getting pings often. I dug many holes and found nothing, until I stood up and my detector touched my shoe and went off loudly. I then realized, I put on my steel toed shoes! What an idiot I am! Note to self, "If the shoes I put on are unusually heavy, they are STEEL TOE!" Please forgive me, people! Namaste.

[@DirtFishMish]

😂😂😂 oh yes, this happens to a lot of folks for sure, I’ve been there when someone else had that same moment of realisation! 😆 Happy hunting!

[@joebrown7797]

Did something similar when I realized my wedding ring kept setting off the detector. We all live and learn, mate. :)

[@terrydavey770]

Mind you you will never lose those shoes.

[@makmoon1293]

We all make the same mistake at least once😅 not to worry

[@bobosixxii9415]

Thanks for your support.@@makmoon1293

[@jessetadlock4818]

WOW!!! The beach is wild today! I've got to say though, For a beautiful Lady, you have the most beautiful laugh I've ever heard! No disrespect of course but your laugh is part of why I love watching your videos Mish!! Keep up the cute laughs and your sure to find great treasures!

[@briancummings1206]

Welcome back! Hope to see more of you good luck and have fun

[@trimbaker1893]

wow Mish, You can start a line of high fashion scuba diving jewelry! Lead necklaces, bracelets, rings...all in stead of those bulky weight belts! : ) Great to see you out again. I drove back down to the coast last week thinking I would go detecting on the party beach a while...then a friend sent me a picture of a tree on her house and I have spent the week removing the tree and four other dead ones that were close to her house. I got chigger bites, poison ivy, hornet stings and I even got struck by a copperhead snake. the snake did not get any fangs into me because I wear thick protective chainsaw pants and steel toe boots. Maybe today, if I do not have anything else come up, I can go detecting. Thanks for the video, George.

[@thomassavage7451]

Glad you took the time. I have missed your videos.

[@nightbeachdetecting2063]

Good to see u back 😀

[@renofredrenofred4913]

Hi Mish! That turned into a GREAT detecting day! Lots of Silver. I'm glad you had fun getting out!! Have a Good Day!

[@royrauch9775]

You are one of the better video presenters of the detecting hobby. Usually try to catch you and finally subscribed. Keep them coming!

[@waynearmstrong4757]

Hello Mish, Of course the first target had to be a sinker, It proved this is authentic Mish detecting! and it was great to see you playing in the sand again, and it was a good hunt to boot! The tapered plate with the hole at the end may have been a feeler gauge for setting points or sparkplug gaps! Very happy to see you back, but will be much happier when you return on a regular basis. I would have been here earlier but was sadly distracted by the passing of Queen Elizabeth, RIP, Thanks for bringing a bit of brightness to the day! Cheers Mish!

[@DirtFishMish]

The mystery item with the hole turned out to be a component of a fishing reel, which makes a whole lot of sense to me!! It felt SO good to be back out there with some sun on my skin, even if the poor old legs regretted the soft sand trudging for a few days afterwards. 😂 Yes the news of the Queen was a shock, expected but unexpected if you know what I mean. It’s incredible as to just how many changes need to occur as a result of the change of monarch as well. End of an era. Cheers mate 😁

[@waynearmstrong4757]

@@DirtFishMish Well that shows what I know, didn't even think of a fishing reel, heard you say it had the number 40 was on it, thought boat motors, put 2+2 together and got 5. You would think with all that lugging boxes around your legs would be prepared for the beach, not so much! Huh!... When I was at school, primary and high, The Monday morning ritual was singing god save the Queen, I doubt thats been done for a long time now! Along with my mom who was 3 yrs older, I thought she was beautiful, and along with my parents she has become a memory of what was, and is no more. The new King has a lot to live up to, and less time to do it. Indeed the End of an era. All the best Mish!

[@flthunderdigginwrob3162]

Great to see you out there at it again. And... Several pieces of mid-century silver makes it an awesome day! Congrats!!!

[@luisbriseno8954]

I’m happy to see you Mish! Welcome back .

[@andrewdalzell99]

Hi there, it’s bail release for an Alvey side cast fishing reel 😊

[@DirtFishMish]

Ah, brilliant. I did think of reel hardware but wasn’t certain! Cheers mate.

[@joannclupper7902]

What lovely finds. Happy for you.

[@southernrelics]

Enjoyed watching. I’m glad you were able to get out and swing that Deus 2

[@KingLoopie1]

[@DirtFishMish]

And thank you for being here to watch said trips, Ron! 😊

[@scottwest9213]

Woo hoo so glad to see you back swinging for buried treasure ! I hope the move went well and you were able to spend some quality time with you and yours ! Great video and welcome back Mish !

[@DirtFishMish]

Still all happening this week!! By this time next week however, I should be able to relax in the new house and plan some decent adventures. 😊

[@DugMcClure]

Mished ya Mish! I was locked down for three weeks with the contractor renov8ing the house. Near did my head in waiting to get swinging again! Cheers!

[@DirtFishMish]

You understand the feeling for sure, Dug!! It felt so good to be back out there, I just wish I could do it regularly right now - the big move is this week, and then we should be able to find some free time again. Cheers mate.

[@PAPOLE1]

Hi Mish it’s been a while so happy your still metal detecting missed your videos glad to see your doing well its always good to have some fun it’s a sinker lol nice beach big silver coin nice and the six pence keep hunting your bound to find a real treasure . I can’t wait till you find a large nugget good luck to you thanks for the video stay safe Mish.

[@DirtFishMish]

I’ll need to get back out to the goldfields for that nugget, but the silver coins are definitely what I’m looking for - I appreciate those more than most jewellery and even gold. Cheers mate 😊

[@ringfahnderostseeschatzsuc7647]

Great Job!

[@glaflamme]

What a wonderful hunt! I’m glad this day turned awesome for you! The picture quality and sound is awesome👍

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Greg! It must look hilarious to a passer-by as I have a big fluffy mic hooked up to the GoPro when I film, lol. Happy to be the strange lady on the beach these days, still feels a little weird in parks. 😂 cheers!!

[@philjb57]

Good to see you back and glad you had a few sinkers

[@rawkinj6609]

Loving every minute of these hunts! Cheers from Montreal Canada!

[@ralphpatrick3071]

[@raydovey4576]

G'day Mish it been a sad day, but mish you can't along at the right time to cheer me up with a big smile on my face now thank you for sharing your time out on the beach I just recently come from holidays from central coast, and I had a go metal detecting there is a lot and a lot of sinkers, but I enjoyed it thoroughly thank you Mish for all your tips and knowledge 🤠

[@DirtFishMish]

Aww Ray, I’m glad I could bring a smile to the dial. Congrats on all the sinkers 😂 it’s a tough job retrieving them, but someone’s got to do it hey! Thanks for the warm welcome back mate. 😊

[@bigglesworth5283]

Great hunt for a one month layover! Congrats on all the real nice finds! 👍👍

[@alanconnors8881]

Out of your norm. Nice to have you back.

[@slayer8actual]

Hey, Mish! Great to see you out and hunting again! And of course, the typical hunt happenings happened - first find is a sinker, a Florin, a mystery item, "last target" and the "watching the world go by" segment (my favorite). Everything may not be completely back to normal yet, but it's like you never left with all the normal stuff still happening. Loved it. One thing I really enjoyed in this video that I had not seen before was the transition you showed from the old coin to the new coin at 26:48. That was beautifully done and really helped outline the minute details that would otherwise go unnoticed by viewers who can't do a side-by-side inspection. One more thing. Not to get political or stir up controversy, and regardless of how some viewers may feel about the British monarchy, Queen Elizabeth was a kind and compassionate woman who worked hard for and really cared for her people. So that being said, for you to find a 1956 Florin with her image on it, and coincidentally having that posted on the day of her passing, was a nice way of remembering her and how long she served her country - since 1952. Anyway, as always, looking forward to your next adventure! Later, friend!

[@DirtFishMish]

It was quite the surprise to wake up to the passing of the Queen, she passed at around 3:30am our time. Something we all knew was coming yet it was hard to comprehend the monumental changes that occur as a result of her passing. Our currency will be slowly phased across, so I expect we will have a mix of monarchs in our coins for quite some years to come. Cheers mate 😊

[@louisaziz1235]

Just found your channel. And, I really must say, I definitely enjoyed watching you find your treasures. Looking forward to more.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Louis! My uploads will be a little erratic over the next few weeks but I hope to be back to regular uploads soon. I have plenty of adventures like this one in my playlists though, I hope you enjoy them 😊

[@turtlecreek4633]

I liked hearing your commentary and beach hunting thoughts as to why you were paying attention to an area as opposed to the Deus tones. But, I'm more interested in learning beach hunting vs tones :) Great hunt, and finds. Thank you!

[@gavinhogg6552]

[@harrylostforevermetaldetec1025]

Wow Mish you were "Gone " for so long I thought the Algorithms had dropped your show, but found you in my subscriptions . What a great day, I could not believe how many nice finds you had, like the universe was saving hem up for you because you were busy moving. I know about the with drawl pains when you can't get out to detect, in August I caught the co bug and was shut in for 3 weeks then ,did maybe 30 min of detecting and then hurt my leg , ripped the calve muscle bad , shut in again, in a cast can't walk now for 2 weeks. so glad to see you out and about congrats on the finds you lucky girl you. Please post more cheers from Canada

[@DirtFishMish]

Oooh ouch, I didn’t injure myself badly however the legs definitely didn’t want to work so well for a few days after this - the soft sand really gave them a workout! Speedy healing to you. 😊
