Treasures Old and New with the Minelab Excalibur II! (Beach & Water Metal Detecting)

We're going metal detecting at the beach with my latest metal detector, the Minelab Excalibur II! I'm starting on the sand today to check some beach erosion, and then taking my treasure hunting into the water to look for coffee money. This treasure hunt was full of surprises both new and old - join me as I start learning and deciphering the sounds of my new machine.

Looks like a fun day. Thanks Mish. Stay warm have fun.

[@DirtFishMish]

Wading hunts are my favourite, they're so peaceful. An extra bonus that this one came up with the goods. Cheers Gary :)

[@NoraSvet]

Wooo Excalibur II!😃 NIce finds I love that bottle. Levi's hot cocoa killed me 😂

[@DirtFishMish]

A hot cocoa done right is pretty damn good 👌😂 Cheers Nora 😁

[@jimchambers4961]

Did it again😀😀👍👍Double coffee and a few biscuits. Good job. Being able to watch without digging is great.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Jim! It was a refreshingly large haul for that area, not sure if it was more the detector or the conditions but I'm not complaining. Glad I can take you with me on the adventures. Cheers :)

[@quasimobile-thedairylanddi8266]

Glad to see you're not afraid to let your hair down :-) . All-in-all a great outing. Sometimes I wonder how things like that copper wire bundle get out there. But then I figure that it's just good that it was found and removed. So kudos to you on that! So a wonderful smile and coffee money for you! As always thanks for the tag along...cheers!

[@DirtFishMish]

I see what you did there! lol. I find a lot of scrap copper in this region actually, not sure how much was marine use and how much is household waste but it is quite fascinating (and good for my scrap bucket too). Cheers!!

[@patprop74]

Sweet Little hunt Mish, always fun to find old sliver, and Coffee money to warm up after a day in the water, life is Good! lol

Can't complain with that combination, hey. Cheers!!

Thank you Mish, that machine is doing a lot better than I ever thought it would do, I know too that the one using the machine makes all the difference , you do your homework and research very well. Congratulations on the silver, and all the other coins. Oh yah, another golf ball when I least expect it. Love it!

I'm in love with the little poison bottle, that's the second time I've found a great small bottle sticking out of the dirt like that - another one was in an old park. Cheers mate!

[@stevespears3341]

Hello from Knoxville Tennessee USA . I finally finished watching all of your videos and I liked them all. I think you like your new detector. I believe it finds a lot of coffee money LoL. I believe you will really enjoy it when you get it out in deeper water. It seams to work well on the beach like any detector you just have to get use to it and the tones it makes. Keep making the videos and I’ll keep watching them.

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi there Steve, thank you so much for watching all my videos, that's amazing!! The Excal has done an extraordinary job for me so far, with most hunts being quite productive. I will keep listening and learning for sure. Cheers :)

[@georgewhite5688]

Great hunt Mish, and you still found silver 🙌. Coffee money and then some!! A great adventure with the new detector. Keep up the good work. As always, stay safe and GOD Bless

Still on the silvers! I broke my streak again this week with a couple of dud hunts, but I'm confident I'll get back on that silver train again. Cheers George. :)

Definitely know that ugh feeling getting out of bed nowadays. Lol! Absolutely loving the quality finds you're getting with the Excal. So far it has definitely been worth the investment.

[@DirtFishMish]

Absolutely, Anthony - in all fairness, I did have a ‘dud’ hunt with the Excal after this (I’ve made a KZbin short of the day which’ll appear sometime soon 😂), but on a whole I’ve got rather high hopes for the machine. Cheers! 😊

Hi Mish. I really enjoyed your video again. In fact I have been out of phone signal for a week and yours was the first channel I watched when back. Apologies to my former favourite terra germania! lol. Keep doing what you are doing. My heart feels good watching your adventures.

You are kicking butt with that Excal, Old pre-dec's and some coffee money to boot. Save that Lead and copper, copper is going ski high atm. Went for a dive today, got kitted up in scuba then realized I left my detector at home, how the hell did I do that. 😄😂 Awesome result's Mish, well done. cheers Brad.

[@DirtFishMish]

Oh no!! 😂. Hope it was a nice dive, at least (assuming you kept on diving lol). I'm waiting for the day I do that, I've forgotten the headphones a few times but at least with the Excal they're permanently attached. Cheers mate. :)

The weather is slowly improving here as we approach Summer, and thanks to the awesome support from my viewers I've even been able to reduce my working hours to focus more on KZbin. Plenty more adventures to come for sure! Cheers :)

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Nice work Mish Shilling, Pennys and half your coffee money before you even hit the water. Could the Excal be producing more goods than the nox perhaps? Thanks for the shoutout ✌🏼

[@DirtFishMish]

It did on this day, not sure if it was luck but I can't wait to try it at some of my special locations! Cheers mate, you made a great coffee/cocoa model. 📸

Looked like a lot of great fun, thanks for sharing 😃

[@ashleigh2491]

That very poison bottle is what started my whole bottle digging/metal detecting hobby. I saw it sticking out of a cliff at my local beach nearly 6 years ago

[@DirtFishMish]

Oh truly, that's awesome! This is the second ever intact bottle I've pulled from the soil in such a manner, the first wasn't all that many months ago and it was at the base of an old tree in a park. I'd love to try and dive for bottles someday if I can find an underwater dump. Cheers mate :)

[@kerriepybus1789]

Hi Mish, I removed my control panel from my shaft and attached it to a belt made out of webbing that I wear around my waist. With just the weight of the shift I am able to hunt with the Excalibur for 8 hours. Great hunt.

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi Kerrie! Great idea, I imagine that would've made a huge difference. I have a new shaft coming for mine hopefully this week, the control panel will be mounted in line with the outside of my forearm instead. Not quite as efficient as the hip mount, but handy for dive hunting :) Thanks for watching and happy hunting!!

[@DugMcClure]

Glad you’re enjoying your new machine! Thanks for sharing! Next best thing to learning a new one myself….listening to you learn yours. Well done!

[@DirtFishMish]

Cheers Dug! I like that a lot of the fundamentals carry across - high tones for high conductors, low for low, masking iron and so forth. It has made the learning curve a lot easier. Have a great weekend.

I do miss my Excalibur at times, they are a great machine. A very enjoyable video, my two favourites..beach and water hunts thanks for sharing it. Tomorrow I am off with a friend to do a lake hunt which may be a fool thing to do since we have had snow a few times already but...I cannot resist water hunts. Definitely will be a wader kind of day, the wetsuit will remain at home. LOL!

Thanks a bunch David, and cheers again for the coffees! 😄

[@soldanovht]

Great hunt!

[@roelf8653]

Howdy Mish, You should have left that bottle on the beach. It does say "NOT TO BE TAKEN". Man, I make some bad jokes. That was a really productive hunt. An old silver shilling and 2X coffee money. The Excalibur 2 must be a good detector. How does it work underwater, can you hear the different tones? Surprised me that you had long hair. Enjoyed the video like I always do. Stay safe and happy, Mish.

[@DirtFishMish]

That pun did cross my mind afterwards, I've missed a lot of pun opportunities lately - maybe I need you to tag along on these hunts to prompt me! 😂 The Excal had a magnificent run this day - I've broken the 100% silver strike rate though, as a recent hunt with it turned up not much at all. The permanently attached headset is waterproof and they're fairly clear underwater, sometimes a little hard to hear with a Nemo though. My hair is long but it is also super thick so I generally keep it in a ponytail as it annoys me 😂 Cheers Roelf.

[@trimbaker1893]

HI Mish, I like the excal partly because it does not have a digital thingie that tells me all the details about the target. My mind gets to hang out with my ears while I search for targets. I get to look around and not be distracted or even captured by the "numbers". I agree that at the beach it is a good idea to dig almost all the targets. I pass on iron, most of the time. I bet you smile big when you get the low tone of a good gold target and its deep. The excal will make you dig deeper than you used to I bet. I will watch the rest of your video in a few minutes, I just wanted to chime in and say Hi. Oh, and Mish, it may be a good idea to bunch most of the extra cord to the coils up closer to the unit. when it is coiled down low, it can cause a magnetic field and interfere with your treasure finding. ok, Cheers Mish, smiling, George.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks George, I agree that the lack of a display has allowed me to further appreciate my surroundings during a hunt. I can't wait for my carbon shaft to arrive so that I can use it more often, after a few days in a row I had to force myself to have a day off to recuperate! 😂 I'll adjust the cable as you suggested once the new shaft is here, I've been swapping between the long and short shaft a lot so I haven't been as fussy about the placement just yet. Have an amazing weekend :) Cheers.

[@Peter57808]

I'm liking the tones the excal produces, more like a 5000 or 7000 than a coin machine. My 3030 has driven me nuts with its imitation of a slot machine!! Call me old but I want a smooth signal that increases as the target gets closer and gives a tone that gives some indication of the target properties.

[@DirtFishMish]

Isn't it just lovely? I tried to replicate a similar effect on the Equinox once, lowering the recovery speed and putting it in 50 tones.. it just wasn't the same. I can see that I'll be a lot calmer after using the Excal on a water hunt. Would love to give a CTX a shot someday. Cheers Peter :)

Great hunt Mish, you hit the nail on the head at the beginning when you said it's best not known what your digging, I think those targets we let slide using the Nox are probably the best ones lol, I found more great things with my old machine that didn't give me information about the targets , The new Nox I'm swinging now although a great machine but maybe way too much false information thrown our way 😀.

100% a Florin every time, unless it's a 1947 Florin, I have a crazy amount of those lol. Still, I didn't have that shilling in my set so it has filled another slot in the coin album. I complain about getting up all the time and yet I'm usually the first person out of bed. lol cheers Mark!

[@slayer8actual]

Hey, Mish! Considering how many OLD coins you found with your Excalibur in an area that you have previously searched with your Equinox, does that make you want to go back to old hunting grounds and seeing if you might have missed a treasure or two? If they were all new coins being discovered today, I would guess they were recent drops, but with all those old coins....I don't know. Seems to me (a total noob) that the Excalibur was simply detecting more coins. That 1917 Shilling is pretty cool especially since it's your oldest Shilling, but that poison bottle...lol. Yes, each and every coin and treasure, or even those sunglasses, have a story about how they ended up where you found them. I'd really be interested to know how and why a bottle of poison was on the beach. Great video! And yes, I know what you're talking about......lol.

[@DirtFishMish]

I think the Excal was picking up more in the water for sure. As for the dry sand... the area I hunted that day, I'm certain the Equinox would've also found all of those dry targets there as it was more a case of timing things well with the state of the erosion. Another commenter pointed out that the 'poison' may simply have been something not to be ingested and they suggested perhaps calamine lotion or similar. Maybe something to treat a beach injury? Who knows. Cheers!!

[@lewis1141951]

Mish , you go girl ! The silver Queen. Coins , Coins and more Coins ! Mish I'm curious , does the Excalibur like pull tabs or not ?

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks mate! The silver just keeps on coming lately. As for the pull tabs, the couple I've found with the Excal so far have made quite a loud noise so just like with the Nox, I think it'll be hard to differentiate them from a ring and therefore I'll be digging them all. Cheers Wayne :)

I'm the same, well the hubby does play golf but he definitely doesn't need the continual supply of golf balls that I bring home! lol cheers Andrew :)
