Welcome back to my couch, Mish! Any time you want to share another exploration, I’ll be ready at my end (on my end?). Just promise not to melt.

[@jimatkinson9126]

Welcome back to the dirt patch, love yer videos, yer smile and yer voice. Have fun today... it is really clear you love the hobby and you relax in the simple fun of swinging of yer fishing stick. Stay safe, find peace and joy is the pleasures YOU enjoy.

I've never have commented on your channel, I have missed watching your channel. It's so good to see you again ,please take care of yourself and God bless you. Nice finds, see you on the next hunt

Glad to see you back , dont apologise ur a breath of fresh air for all

[@waynearmstrong5233]

When ever you turn up, ill definitely come visiting, You were definitely flushed, hot, and breathless, days like that can drain the battery real quick! I would have been very happy with that silver Mish, Great find! my oldest silver only gets back to 1866. Ill just have to keep on searching. Looking forward to seeing you again, whenever that is. Cheers Mish!

[@2btriggerhappy2010]

OMG! Mich! Hello. So lovely to see you back, for now :P I really hope you are well.

I'm on the right path, thank you for checking in. Going to be kind to myself this year and just do these videos when they feel right, no obligations or deadlines. Cheers mate :)

[@trimbaker1893]

Good Morning Mish! George here. I sold my place near the coast in North Carolina and bought a little cabin in the mountains in western North Carolina. guess what....I found a hydrothermal mineral vein in the Gneiss bedrock on my property. I crushed a sample and it has micro fine gold. yep, gold. I am going to explore the vein but for now, my kitchen is a miners mess right now. crushing rocks and panning in a big pan. outside it is winter here and the temps are below freezing. great to see you Mish and I am happy to have something interesting to share with you. Cheers, George.

[@roelf8653]

Howdy Mish, What a treat to see you back on my screen this morning. You got some cool finds with the stoneware jug and the old silver coin. I hope life is treating you well and you find some more time to get out and relax. Take care, Your old buddy Roelf.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you Roelf... I've missed my people. :)

Welcome back , don't forget to enjoy yourself.

[@timbrown8581]

Great to see you again Mish and hear your voice. I hope you're well and the break has been able to recharge your batteries (and I'm not talking about your detector batteries). As usual, another great vid!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

My dearest young lady. it is so good to see your pretty smile once again. Yes I missed your videos but can totally understand the need for some back off time. I push myself over the limit a few times. I was allowing people to drag me from one part of life to another and they pulled me away from my family and myself so I had to STOP. Yes I cared about the people I helped and worked with BUT I told them that my family came first and so did myself. It took time but they got over it. It took me 18 months to get my head back on straight. Spent lots of time with my family and a lot of time alone with just me and God. I came back stronger, wiser. and with boundary lines. I refound my true joy in life once again... So take all the time outs you need, we'll be here waiting for your return... Much love and be blessed in Jesus name... BBE..

[@bradnewman1459]

I went looking for this video last night. It's been a while since you said goodbye. It's strange because I thought of you out of the blue and thought you would be there but there was nothing there because you were a day late uploading it 😛 Looking forward to the next one DFM!

Thanks buddy!

[@gabivalla6279]

Beaut to see you again, Mish, out in the bush and sharing, despite the uncomfortable heat- 2 bucket listers, the rarer date 1819 George 3, think Paul rather than Mick of Cointector said has a face like a dropped pie 😅, & intact stoneware bottle, any markings? We'd found one laying on it's side in creek mud, still with cork and full, 1869 Glasgow porter ale beer, I'm hoping to get live yeasts from it, making it older than that shipwreck beer example, just imagine if it works out! Going out again and finding yourself, you happy and comfortable this had never been lost, noting it unnecessary to pressure yourself to produce, and finding yourself happy to do so again, as the mood to do so takes you, that's the best sparkling find that we saw! 😊 (Postscript: not knowing your location exactly, but the villages of Westernport & East of there, areas used by world sealers and whalers as far back as the 1820s, eg "American water well, 1827", & "French Camp, Isle de France", Louis de Swainson, if not 1790s, small bay NE of Wilson's Prom, for research-led family adventures, docile wombats, gorgeous boulders, billionaire's scenery. Stay well, and cheers from Gabi of Narre Warren).

[@sakkayaditthi4542]

Good to see you again, Mish. Thanks for sharing. If you're in a mining area, try to look for quatz rocks, rock's veins, or a nearby slope or stream. Left off by the old miners. They also needed water to process their gold ore. 😊

[@mrzgizzy]

Missed you mish, hope you are doing well. Thank you for letting us come along on your trip

Cool vid, nice finds 😀beautiful spot, I really like detecting in the bush too😀the bottle is cool. Nice 1819 coin, the holes were for sewing into their clothes so it didn’t get lost, but this one did😀

Nothing but love for you Mish, you look great and remember to stay hydrated in that heat. Other than that, it's so cool to see the relics! Finding Chinese coins is so cool, I wonder who dropped them? That stoneware bottle is top shelf! I also have to say how beautiful it looks in Australia, I 've only seen your country in various movies (Pricilla-Queen of the Desert), and I have to say that I'm really impressed with its beauty. Finding a George III silver coin is a stellar find. Well done Mish! Finds like that are why we love this hobby so much!

[@martaminder2716]

Glad to see you again and looked like a good relaxing day out, even if it was hot. I will say we have missed you. But next time find a bigger creek to cool off in and leave us at home. Take care and hope to see a few videos from you. Congratulations on the silver and bottle great finds.

What a Friday! Great to have you back, Mish 🙌🏻. Lovely little hunt, too. We're currently hunting in the heat over here, too, so can relate! Fantastic to get a nice Bull head 👌🏻 Absolute beauty. Congrats!!!

[@AndyGraceMedia]

Awesome to see you back Mish and the G. III Bullhead sixpence is an awesome find! Would have been 35-40 years old by the time someone travelled to the goldfields and was prospecting. Hence the hole. By that stage George IV and William IV had both died and Victoria had been on the throne for about 20 years at least.

[@DirtFishMish]

It's mind-blowing when you do the math, hey. Thanks for the insightful comment. :)

[@user-bv3cl2cl8b]

Good your back up and running! Always enjoy da adventures!😊❤

[@howiegrapek]

Nice to see you back Mish! I've missed your adventures and very glad you are doing well. Your little walkabout was nice and relaxing - Cool finds too!! I just want you to know that your content over the past few years have inspired me to purchase my own Nokta Legend and a new GoPro12 - It was my Christmas present to myself. Getting out on adventures with it has helped my health and spiritual balance. I've already found many coins, some jewelry and some WWII relics (videos still to be produced). Since I am a commercial photographer/videographer, I decided to rebrand my old KZbin channel with my own adventures. Now, I'm having fun hunting as often as I can and creating/editing videos. Like you, I don't carry my photo/drone gear with me all the time - sometimes, it is just good to get away and enjoy. My adventure videos have similar content as yours, but I'm here in South Florida - so the scenery is much different. I also have a Blu3 Nomad, and am a master diver, so I can't wait to get under with my new GoPro - I'm waiting for more calm seas. I still have a lot to learn, and still have to purchase a better microphone to handle wind. I have many adventures planned. Please have a look at my channel (click on Lexy's face - she has my scuba mask on ;) and at my adventure videos - I've only put a few up so far, but they are coming. I'd love to get your feedback, and feel free to like and subscribe. Again, glad to see you back in the saddle and so much enjoy your enthusiasm.

[@markstevenson3880]

Mish if that coin has a near square hole, it was probably punched with a (handmade) iron horseshoe nail. This then was often strung on platted horsehair necklaces and given to daughters for coming of age. My great Grandmother in 1868 at age 12 received hers and then passed it on to her daughter.

[@DirtFishMish]

I had a good look at it when I read this, and the hole is fairly round but that's not to say that it didn't have some wear from whatever it was threaded onto. It certainly seems intentional for such a purpose. Thanks Mark :)
