Taking the Equinox 800 back to the Beach! (Metal Detecting)

I took my Minelab Equinox 800 back to the beach for some more metal detecting, after a very successful run with it in my last video. I was hoping for silver coins and quite possibly my first tan for the season (😆), but what did I find instead...?

Good evening Mish, wonderful to see you out hunting again. It is getting very busy on the Sydney beaches now, so I am staying away. Maybe some late night low tide hunts.. but I just can't deal with the crowds and nosey people staring at me or asking questions. I love digging those $1 and $2 coins, but typically find them on the shelly/rocky smaller beaches which are very few and far between. The big expansive beaches are had work and often come home empty handed. A coffee near me is usually about $3.50, some places are $3 or $4. I don't like to pay any more, not worth it when I can make a double shot espresso at home for a matter of cents.

Hi Mish, it looked like a lovely day at the beach. I'm just enjoying my morning coffee (it's Saturday morning here) in my Dirt Fish Mish coffee mug (available in the merch store). You were in the money today. Now I'm going to see what the coffee bush kid found. Take care, John

[@nightbeachdetecting2063]

Awesome video 😀 cant wait to watch the rest tonight

[@rawkinj6609]

Coffee is about 2,75 $ Canadian for your average large coffee at the donut shop, corner store or "petrol station" ( we say gas station here :) 6$ or more for fancy coffees and Starbucks! The Canadian 1$ coin's ( Loony) first run was in 1986. 2$ started in 1996. How fun it is to have those coins to dig up right? Great hunt Mish! Cheers from Montreal!

[@KingLoopie1]

And the 800 does another good turn for you! You definitely know how to run that machine! 👍

[@kevincarther]

Great beach hunt Mish , weather looked fabulous , a coffee from Tim Hortons medium with cream is $3.00 Canadian. I think your nox 800 was your coin finder today. Cheers!!

[@StarrysLostandFound]

All the best, Mish, even if you only get coffee money. Happy hunting.

[@patjacques5391]

Great hunt ! Coffee here in Connecticut for a medium regular coffee is $2.50 plus tax. Other special coffees are a lot more. Winter is coming getting cold to get out detecting

[@hardyakka6200]

that was a good "buy me a coffee " day

[@arthurgolddigger7336]

Rich beach M, can't remember the last time I saw that many coins come out of the wet sand. Good to see cheers A 😊

[@DirtFishMish]

I think I fluked it A, it's a personal record for this particular patch! Cheers mate.

[@susancousins8766]

Almost 10.00 that would be great for me, when I go detecting I find metal of some sort. I think I found a nickel once 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I really haven’t gone out much, due to nerve damage and pain in my feet. Hope to go soon, tired of being in the house. Have a beautiful weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💗💗💗💗💗

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Well done Mish. Coffee and cake I reckon. Good haul of sinkers too. Looked like a grouse day out on the sand. Take care mate 😁👍

Id love to detect in your country. Love the cover on the coil wire. Don't like idea of anything biting me there though 🙄

[@tubedinoz]

Really enjoy the time and effort you take to show the vdi numbers and thoughts you have on what the targets might be, before digging them up. Very useful! Unfortunately I didn't get out for a detect myself this weekend, so your video was very welcome. Cheers Mish 😊

[@jessetadlock4818]

Hey Mish, Been enjoying watching your videos from Alabama, USA. Our coffee round here is still around $2.00 unless you go to Starbucks which I couldn't really tell you how much it would cost you there, probably $6.00! LOL Keep up the good work!

G,day DFM👍 the Nox 800 is a great detector ive found plenty of gold with her, shes treated us good over the years. some good finds for you enough for lunch and plenty of trash removed👍👍 see you on the next hunt💍👍

Good to see you breaking out the Equinox 800 again love it

[@scottcanaan2484]

I've been watching your videos for a while and finally subscribed. I love watching and hearing your comments. You are always so happy, even when finding trash. I get frustrated when I find too much trash. Good for you. I wish the US would get rid of paper $1 and $2 and use coins. Between watching you and R Dogg in British Columbia, it amazes me how many $1 and $2 coins you both find. That adds up fast. Keep it up and I can't wait for the next video.

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi Scott, glad to have you on board! I try to showcase the hobby in the same light that I saw it - as a means to get out of the house, enjoy the outdoors and hopefully come home with a surprise or two as well. All the better that I can leave places cleaner than they were when I arrived. That’s not to say that I don’t have the occasional tantrum over trash off-camera 😂 Cheers!!

[@scottcanaan2484]

@@DirtFishMish It's good to learn that you are human, too! Of course, finding that one great item erases the frustration. I love your beautiful smile, too.

Another great video! Greetings from Tomahawk, WI.

[@andriusstaponkus5495]

Hey Mish, glad to see you are back searching - always enjoy your calming voice and great videos. As you asked - 2.5 - 3e for a cup of coffee in Ireland. Beach hunting season for coins is great between May and September after it's just barely getting for coffee.. :) Happy hunting!

[@DirtFishMish]

It sounds as if our coffee prices are roughly equivalent! My area is the same - coffee money on the beach is typically only guaranteed during the peak summer season, otherwise it’s far more lead than money. 😂 Happy hunting!

[@PhilipWillsWorld]

Thanks for the video.

[@kenb897]

Here in Canada, it costs $2.35 for a large double double . I toss my money in a jar and let it accumulate for the year. At the end of the season, I use the coins to buy the wife and I coffee and tea till it runs out.

[@freso-cool]

😂😂😂😂... the hunt for coffee

[@davidlawson4159]

Hi Mish, so glad it's warming up for you maybe soon you can go diving, cool and guess what we had another Hurricane this time on the East coast of Florida. Very rare a storm like that in November. fun video as always, Love from Florida, USA

love the video's and all the finds! coffee in Holland about the same price! just started detecting... found a cap, pulltap and 1 euro and 25 cent... so, no coffee for me. will keep digging ;) happy diggings!

Welcome to the hobby! Finding coins already is a great start, I wish you many more successes...and definitely some coffee money! Have a lovely weekend :)

Nothing like a pocketful of coins to put a spring in your step and make your day! Well “Dug”!

Couldn't agree more!

[@ellenvollor8989]

Nice hunting Mish! I am in Maine, USA, and we can get a coffee at McDonalds for $1. I prefer Starbucks frozen coffee, but it is $7, so I don't get them very often. Enjoy the weather!!

[@DirtFishMish]

Our 7-11 stores were doing $1 coffee but the last I heard, they were going to have to increase it. McDonald’s definitely costs more here. Sadly the weather is back to torrential rain again 😅 but hopefully predictably nice soon!! Cheers.

[@dawnthemetaldetective3083]

Nice hunt!

A fun video and you did well on the coins, congrats

C’mon Mish, the water isn’t cold once your feet turn blue and you lose all feeling in them! 😉🥶😁 I do love the ripples in the sand, quite pleasing to my eyes. ☺️

hi mish love your work

[@roelf8653]

Howdy Mish, It's been awhile since I got to see you digging up coffee money. I enjoyed every minute of it. The beaches you go to are amazing. The coffee at McDonalds in the US costs a dollar (any size) and believe it or not its very good. Coffee at Dunkin Donuts which is also very good costs $2.00 to $2.50 and you can get donuts with it (yum). Coffee at Starbucks costs $3.00 to $5.00 dollars but isn't much better than McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts. I average about $1.50 in a 3 hour hunt in the small town parks I can go to around here. That would include 30 to 40 pennies. I still go to Dunkin Donuts cause you can get donuts with your coffee (yum). Anyhow take care and have some fun this week. Your buddy, Roelf

[@DirtFishMish]

I think I'd make the same decision as you and head to Dunkin out of those options! The franchise used to exist over here when I was much younger, however several years ago they fully pulled out of Australia. We do have Krispy Kreme though. Cheers Roelf :)

Hi, I should have added, Inverness, highlands, Scotland. Keep swinging that detector!!

[@chrisgrahame5469]

Hi Mish just wondering what your go to detector is now if you’re putting the Knox into semi retirement?

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi Chris, I typically use the XP Deus 2 as I find it the most ergonomic for long digs, however I only have the 9" coil for it so sometimes the Equinox is more efficient to cover a wider patch of ground. I like the challenge of using multiple machines :) Cheers!

[@gregnixon1296]

The KZbinrs’ detectors are usually about $1000. Are there good ones for the beach for half that much?

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi there! There’s definitely options out there - if beach is where you plan to go, look for waterproofing and multi-frequency as base options and watch videos with those machines to see if you like the interface and sounds. Unfortunately I’m a little out of touch with the latest ranges and what they’re called, sorry. Also don’t forget to check second-hand sales on Facebook or similar, you can save hundreds that way and sometimes the machines are as new simply because the owner never got into the hobby. Best of luck 😁

[@rdrhouse]

what i find interesting is your high value $1, $2 coins read the same as the £1, £2 coins in the UK. I wonder if the lower coins match as well. Our 20p which is 1/5th of a pound rings up as 16, do you have an equivalent. i'm guessing it would be a 20c. Well i should have waited till the end before posting this comment, as at 9:50 up comes a 20c at 16
