Thanks for hunting out my KZbin channel.
My name is Andrew, so why do they call me The Coffee Bush Kid? I may have found the odd gold coin or two in the middle of the coffee bush where others fear to tread.
Metal detecting in Central Victoria, Australia. Goldfields relics, treasures, and the odd Aussie critter.

It was as always such a pleasure to spend time with you both. From the bottom of my heart I say Thank You. Your friendship means a lot to me

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Not a problem mate. It was always great to catch up with you. Always have fun and laughs. Great to finally catch up with you. You know where we are if you want to visit. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

[@lphillimore]

Love it mate! Great find on that Dime 👌🏻 Top tip, don't get caught saying you're in England when you're in Wales 😄😄

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Liam. Yes fair call. I forgot myself and where I was. Beaut little spot to detect there. Lots of things in the ground. Take care mate 😁👍

[@leeclyma]

Love the Video Andrew.. Fantastic finds.. and well you may have made me laugh out loud, several times 😂

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

It was a great spot there Lee. Glad you got a laugh. My job here is done 😁😁👍

[@waynearmstrong4757]

I loved how the silver Roosevelt exchange occurred , just replayed it a couple of times, laughed each time! Then just after the sputnik sinker, The relieving 20p! Very enjoyable vid all the way through! I guess the next time we see you, you'll be back amongst the coffee bush! Cheers Mate!

[@marcshea8921]

What's funny is that here in the states sometimes it's a Roosevelt that is the find of the day! 🧲(((🪙

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Wayne. It was a surprise to say the least. The brain works overtime at the disbelief at what you are actually looking at. Glad you enjoyed it and yes the next one I am back in my natural surroundings. Take care mate 😁👍

[@johnhunter1262]

That was great. I am looking forward to your next holiday. Welcome back to reality. I hope you didn't come home to find you were flooded out while you were away. Cheers John

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

G’day John. I think we are too. We are on top of a hill so if we get flooded things are really bad. Lots of damage around though. The dry gullies have water in them now so I can go out and do a bit more panning where you usually can’t. Take care mate 😁👍

[@ChasingGoldAustralia]

Lovely work Andrew, it would have been fantastic to catch up with Nathaniel 🤠⛏️🇦🇺

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Josh. It was always great to catch up with Nathaniel. Great bloke to detect with. 😁👍

[@harrylostforevermetaldetec1025]

Thank you, Andrew and Viv, for taking us along on your vacation. It was lots of fun and you sure did Austrailia proud with all those wonderful finds. Safe journey home. All the best from Sayward B.C.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Harry. Glad you enjoyed coming along with us. Found some great things and greater people. Been home now for a few weeks. Hope you are well over there. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

[@Goldandtravel]

Well done mate 👌 certainly looks like you had a ball over there

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

We did mate. Gee you can get a taste for those hammered coins. Haven’t lost my touch here though. First coin I found was a 1910 Aussie shilling 👍😁

[@wildcolonialboydetecting8335]

Your now officially a " Mud larker". Good to see you catching up with the locals over there.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Always reckoned I would enjoy mudlarking and I did. So many things to find. Great lot of history there. Hope you are well mate 👍😁

[@captnse]

Not a silver Roosevelt dime, but what a surprise nonetheless!! I do find British and Australian silver coinage occasionally here in the US. Thanks for bringing us along on your beach hunt! 👍🏼

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

No it wasn’t but still good to find. Just shows we can find anyones coins anywhere. Glad you enjoyed the ride 🦘🦘😁👍

[@digginghistorytasmania3897]

Very nice hunt and finds mate done well thanks for shearing 👍👍🍻🍻

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Thanks cobber. Had a ball there. Great spot. Take care mate 👍😁

[@GRIFFINds]

HI Andrew! Looked like great fun, hope you had an awesome time in the Uk, thanks for sharing this super fun beach adventure. Cheers mate! Cya on the next! Take care. Henry

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Henry. Had a ball down on the beach with Nathaniel. We don’t have beaches like that down here. Lots of things to find. We had a great time in the UK and met someone amazing people. Your go self included. Take care mate. Regards Andrew 🦘🦘👍😁

[@magpie307]

Well done Andrew mate, bit strange seeing you on a welsh beach but great finds on your way round, if this is your last day here in the UK then have a safe journey home and i'll see you back on your home turf. Take care mate 👍🙂👋 ATB Tony

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Tony. We have been back for a couple of weeks now. Yes you don’t often see me on a beach but that one is a ripper. Lots of finds and interesting targets. Hope you are well mate. Take care cobber 🦘🦘😁👍

[@magpie307]

@@TheCoffeeBushKid Oh sorry mate i misunderstood and thought you were heading back but glad to hear you made it back safe🤔 I should have invited you to my favorite beach while you were here, maybe next time your in this part of the world, Would have been nice to meet you mate 👍Take care and i'll see you on your next outing 👍😀👋 Tony

[@deansinger8285]

nice seaside cafes to spend that money you found, been to that area many times! Nice silver dime, the US forces weren't far away(28th infantry division) WW2 ! The pier over in the distance(Mumbles) nearly got burned down not long ago ! Good spendable finds - safe journey!

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

G’day Dean. It is a really nice spot there. Great area to detect. Some good age to some of the finds. Gee the tide goes out a long way there. Got to keep an eye on it. Thanks for watching mate 🦘🦘👍😁

[@PetesGoldAdventures]

Nice work Andrew, must be great digging up all those strange and wonderful coins and buttons, well back to the aussie bush now to find some silver and more buttons. Cheers mate

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Pete. It was great to find them all. Could get a taste for a place like that to detect. I have already done that. First coin was a 1910 shilling. Take care mate 👍😁

[@metalmitch]

Great video of detecting in Wales and some interesting finds . I bet DFM would have been right in her element there. Keep the uploads coming CBK they are great.

[@DeanoDetects]

Hey Andy (& Nathan). 👋🏻😃 What the f… a Rosie Dime for an Aussie in the UK??!! 🤣😂 Glad you had fun with your six incher on a damp Welsh beach!! 😜 Nice Stevens of Neath 4 hole button!! 💖 The modern steel core coins (92 onwards) do not last as you can see. 😬 Thanks for sharing, take care and be lucky my friends. 🇦🇺🍻🇬🇧😃👍🏻

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Hahaha. Yes I had a good time with my 6 incher. It is a great spot to detect there. Lots of history. Thanks for watching mate. You take care too 🦘🦘👍😁

[@DirtFishMish]

Maybe I'm a touch biased, but it's good to see you and Nathaniel out on the beach. 😁 I'm so fascinated with those UK beaches full of dense sand and rocks - tough digging, but such a scenic sight as well. Happy hunting mate, I hear that good weather is coming soon... hopefully in a month or so. 😂

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Yes good weather soon would be nice so the van doesn’t sink in the mud. It was a great beach and great to be with Nathaniel. Really nice bloke and loves a laugh. Lots of treasures in the ground there. You would have a ball. Take care mate 👍😁

[@tincuptimmetaldetecting9259]

Heck of a hunt Andrew. Excellent location to end the trip! Congrats on the finds!! An Aussie, finding a Yankee dime, in the UK - makes sense lol. Good job brother. Safe travels and all the best!

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Tim. Had a ball there with Nathaniel. Great bloke and great location. It was funny to find the dime but oh so right. Hope you are well mate. Take care 🦘🦘👍😁

[@mdmelbourne6076]

Well done Andrew. little bit out of your comfort zone but it’s always nice to try something different, Nathaniel is a great chap, Come to think about it I haven’t had a notification from his channel in ages, gotta check if someone not mentioning names has taken my subscription down, It’s happened quite a bit lately, I was hoping you’d find an Australian coin but not to be, Don’t rush back home it’s still winter here lol 😂

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Jim. Wouldn’t say out of my comfort zone, just don’t get a chance to do spots like that much. Have to drive a couple of hour if I do and there is nothing quite like there around here anyhow. The tide goes wayyyy out. We have been home for a couple of weeks. All back at work too. Hope you are well mate. Take care cobber 😁👍

[@mdmelbourne6076]

@@TheCoffeeBushKid i should think how I word things lol 😂, I shouldn’t have said out of your comfort zone, I should have said it’s not something we see you do much of, Beaches can be a challenge, They are for me anyway lol 😂, Tommy and I are about to head out and hit a park hopefully find something to share, Glad to hear your both back and enjoying this unseasonal weather were having, today is about the best day we’ve had probably since you left, So don’t leave again and take the weather with you 🤣🤣, ATB to you and VIV

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@mightyblues7]

Very nice finds CBK

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Thanks MB7. Hope you are well mate 👍😁

[@mightyblues7]

@@TheCoffeeBushKid 😀

[@bigchief2331]

Very interesting CBK. I love beaches like that one , with lots of rocks and a tide which goes out a long way. BUT they are rare to find. I got quite a few pre decimal coins in a similar place in Sydney, just a small rocky outcrop with many treasures trapped in the crevices over the years. I wish I could find more places like these instead of expansive sandy beaches which can be rather boring with targets few and far between.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Yes it was a great spot BC. Nothing like that around here. If you found something similar you have done well. Thanks for watching 👍😁

[@roelf8653]

Howdy Andrew, Congratulations on passing 2K subscribers. I really enjoyed the videos from your vacation in England. It started with some Roman coins including a Roman silver denarius and ended with some chunky modern British coins. What a great pair of bookends. There were lots of nice coins and relics from the centuries in between too. So cool. Does it really cost 20 pence to pee in England? I'd be looking for a convenient clump of bushes I reckon. I watched your Shropshire video and left a thumbs up but I was out of town and so didn't leave a comment. It was a great video too. Hope you and Viv are doing well. Your buddy, Roelf

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Roelf. Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the videos. We had a ball over there. Yes it does cost that and that is for a cheap one. And don’t even think about looking for a bush. The roads in places ( everywhere where we went) are so narrow, there is nowhere to pull off if you did find a bush. You get very inventive in knot tying I tell you. We are both well. Hope you and Mrs Roelf are too. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

[@cointector]

Mooching around love it haa . American silver Wtffff? Good to see you back. We’re out tomorrow hopefully good luck.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Paul. Was a good spot to poke around. The dime surprised me. Good luck today 😁👍

[@cointector]

[@lorraineperry8232]

Haha...doing a bit of "mudlarking" ay Andrew.....great video....what were the chances of an Aussie finding a US coin in the UK....lol.....great :)

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

G’day Lorraine. Yes if it was going to happen I reckon I was the bloke it would happen to. Great spot. Lots of cool stuff in the ground. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍

[@thegoldrushguy]

Didn’t go on for a dip 🥶

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Instant hypothermia. You know how thin I am 🤣🤣🤣

[@timthompson6092]

Hi cbk I was just wondering I was thinking of going to the UK and was thinking of doing some detecting when was over there can I ask how did you get your detector over there

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

In a suitcase Tim in the cargo hull. Not carry on luggage 😁👍

[@timthompson6092]

Did you have to take the battery out of the detector or did you leave them in

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Left it in. Airline says it ok on their web site 👍

[@VengerVideoGamer]

Just came across this video after checking out Nathaniel's channel. Swansea beach is my local beach and there have been a lot of very nice finds made there over the years, like bronze age axe heads and hammered coins further out on the low tide. I've never had anything that old but I've had a few pre-decimals from Victoria to George V. I've had quite a few buttons from around the turn of the 20th century too. Nice to see the button from Neath.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Gday Vlad. It was a great spot to detect. Loved it. We don’t have anything like it anywhere near where I am. Don’t mind a good button and to have driven though Neath to get there, it was a nice little find. Thanks for watching. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

[@marcshea8921]

Looked like the wife probably had to drag you back to the hotel... Detecting the beach and the car park... I always get the "one more target and turn it off", LOL⛏️🪙⛏️🏖️🚙

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Nope the job was right. She does B roll footage then goes back to the car where it is warm. Leaves the mad to do there thing 😁👍
