Hey, Mish! Beautiful silver! To my untrained eye it looked like just a rusty piece of steel chain, but hearing you exclaim and burble loudly underwater, "Oh, wow! Nice! I think that's silver!" once again reminded me of one of the many reasons I watch your channel - you're skilled at what you do. With all that lead you were finding, I was beginning to wonder if you would be able to swim out or have to walk out of the water. Thanks for clearing it out! We could use a few more Mish's out there helping the environment, but we're happy to have the one we do! You're awesome! Always looking forward to your next adventure! Later, friend!

Howdy Mish, What a great little adventure. It seems the Deus 2 performed really well for you. The silver bracelet cleaned up very nicely.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Roelf! I love how snappy the response time is on targets and just how light it is, while I preferred the sounds of the Excalibur 2, it was a lot slower process to effectively pinpoint a target. You would've definitely seen more dives if I'd been feeling better, hoping to smash out plenty in the next dive season. Cheers mate.

[@bradwelch7425]

Hey Mish, well done on the lead, great little dive. Great find on the Ag too. You are loving the Deus. Spoke to Michael today for about an hour and is keen for a meet up and dive. He also loves the Deus, am I missing out on something here, I will stick to the old trusty Excal for now and save up for one I guess. Heading to NZ for a skiing holiday in Sept, might look into some gold while I am there. We gotta get a cuppla dives in too one day, Maybe the 4 of us. Cheers and Happy Hunting Brad

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Brad! I think the thing you're missing is the sheer weight difference, can swing a D2 for days and not feel the consequences unlike the Excal. Mind you, the Excal has a much more rugged build and can dive 3x the depth so they've both got their place. Trip sounds great - have fun over there!! And yes I'd be keen on dives with any combination of you all, though I can see Dan yourself and I chilling by a campfire just as easily. Cheers mate :)

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Glad to see this video as been out for a bit. I'm considering picking up an XP Deus 2 because of it's light weight and primarily it's claim to be waterproof. Now that you have had the machine for awhile, have you had any issues with it flooding? I'm currently using a Tiger Shark for my dive treasure hunts, but I'd like something that doesn't weigh as much and has some numbers I can look at.

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi there! No leaking issues for me with the machine, though it is very important to switch the control pod’s plug to the diving plug (red plug) when hunting underwater, the grey plug is only rated to 3ft/1M. I only tend to show the screen on videos as viewers like to see it, the Deus II has excellent audio-based information and the screen is not necessary if you’ve customised your tone breaks to align with the targets you are hunting for. Happy hunting 😊

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

@@DirtFishMish Excellent and thank you. I didn't know anything about the plugs. The tones are another reason I want the Deus. My Tiger Shark emits only one tone, be it iron or coin. Since I dive with tanks I would like to spend more time digging the good stuff. lol.

nice dive

[@governmentninja]

I may have mentioned it before, not sure. But taking Lead out, particularly in my area where there is a lot of crabs helps the environmental chain. I didn't realise how lethal Lead is to crabs, even though the Lead sinker is intact. It's the micro shavings that we don't see coming off the sunken sinker that is killing them. This in turn becomes less food for the likes of Flounder Fish that come into the Estuary to feed on crabs. Those crabs would also be infected with Lead which will lead onto the Flounder's fate. Sad circle... So always stoked to be removing Lead on a continual basis in my little piece of paradise.

[@DirtFishMish]

Always happy to have a positive impact on the waterways, there is an absolutely insane amount of lead in the water where I am. It is really sad how it slowly poisons the wildlife and I suppose is also ultimately detrimental to the fishermen trying to find a catch. Glad you're making a difference over there too mate. :)

[@robdarling6807]

Hey Mish, cool video. Where did you acquire the dive flag / float and the extended snorkel? I'm hopeless at holding my breath so this would be great!!

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi Rob, thanks for that!! The diving system is called 'Nemo' by a company called BLU3. It's a battery operated hookah diving system. It's the smaller of their two models and can dive to 3M/10ft, I find I get over an hour's diving per battery which is easily swapped out to extend a dive. Here's some info and places to obtain one: Australia: www.detect-ed.com/collections/dive-systems/products/nemo?ref=3 US/International: lddy.no/136rq Hope that helps :)

The D2 is my favourite machine for swinging over long periods of time, and the audio information it provides for targets is fantastic - I found the learning curve a little steeper than most machines but the default modes are pretty good as well. I’ve just added a Nokta Legend to my kit, so I’ll be mainly using the Deus for land and also deeper diving (below 3M/10ft) hunts. Cheers 😁

Mighty clever little piece of kit, and you can swap a battery out to do a subsequent dive.

You always look like you know what you’re doing. It’s going to be challenging with the camera and and the detector, most you tubers I see do it in calm waters, with a bit experience a little surge you could adjust to. Remember that ground balancing your machine is as much your state of mind, clear calm and aware of your surroundings, that’s what I see when watching you, when your losing your balance you get out of the water.

[@goldseaoutdoors4708]

Very good info I purchased a blu3 nemo and I am looking to get a detector to dive with I am afraid to use my nox 800 due to water getting in unit I am not sure which one to get I am thinking of this deus 2 or a excalibur but still not sure been looking at videos to see which one is better deus 2 Excalibur 11 or any other one. Again thanks for the info. Hello from Dominican Republic ✌️💪👍🇩🇴

[@DirtFishMish]

Hello Gold Sea, congrats on the Nemo, they're a lot of fun! I used to own the Excalibur II as well, it is an awesome machine and very waterproof however it is also very heavy, the design is now quite old and hasn't been updated in many years. Something to keep in mind if you plan to detect out of the water as well. The Deus II is waterproof to 20M and is the most comfortable to swing for a long time, however you must remember to put in the dive plug (a little red plug instead of the standard grey plug) on the remote, and also connect the antenna between the remote and coil before diving. The Nokta Legend is a great affordable option that goes to 3M depth and would be good on land as well, plus it is half the price of the Deus II so it would be worth a look! Either machine will need a waterproof headset as well. Happy hunting :)

That was the selling point for me mate, the Deus II is waterproof to 20M depth provided the diving plug is inserted into the control unit. Abundantly lighter than the other diving machine I had!

Did you get a date off that 20 cents u found mish ?

[@DirtFishMish]

I'll be completely honest, I don't think I checked it 😂 Some hunts I'll inspect every single coin, and other times they get tossed into the tumbler pile! Cheers mate.

Resell all those sinkers to bait and tackle shops or melt them into dive weights and sell those... Extra income! 👍

[@DirtFishMish]

I make dive weights already, it's such a great way to recycle the lead! 🙌

[@hardyakka6200]

your quite a sight up close underwater. You had a great dive collecting sinkers. Sell those sinkings online. Smelly Fishermen will happily pay half the shop price for them and you will be well ahead of scrape lead prices. Fishermen, like gardeners, are ripped off for their supplies.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks mate, I make dive weights with the scrap these days, or at least I do when it's not belting down with rain outside lol. Rain and molten lead isn't exactly a winning combo. Cheers!

[@hardyakka6200]

@@DirtFishMish I saw dive weights made from gild painted blue and smuggled out of a country. NEVER have even a drop of water in your mold. I have a tale of woe about lead in a bullet mold.

[@anastasioworley3102]

what the price now for similar detector ..and if there are other one u you tried pls till...thank you

[@DirtFishMish]

Prices will vary in each country, here in Australia this machine is worth A$2499, another good diving machine is the Minelab Excalibur II which is around A$1900 but is much heavier. There are lots of other machines that have some waterproofing as well, so shop around 😊 Cheers!

So you dont need a divingvest with lead filled a pouch full of sinkers does it the same.

[@dmtarry]

You really need to be careful and take a table tennis bat with you for wafting sand, those fish hooks will cause a lot of damage! Take care!

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi there, everything we do in life has a level of risk, just as carrying excess gear can be an entanglement and concentration hazard (I already have a knife and filming gear on me, weight belt, finds pouch, breathing apparatus and detecting equipment which has a long headset cable). I’ve dealt with a few fish hooks in my time, and that is an accepted risk of mine rather than the hazard of juggling another item in the kit. Cheers 😊
