Howdy Mish, I'm always more excited by the relics than the coins so that was a really fun hunt to watch for me. I concur with everyone else on the first two mystery items i.e. a parasol tip and and parts of a folding knife. I've no clue on the third. My favorites were the old naval button and the suspender clip. Thanks for taking me to that beautiful spot. Have a great week and take care. Your buddy, Roelf
The crown is for Sheffield and the anchor for Birmingham. Whether it was manufactured in Sheffield and then assayed in Birmingham or the other way round, I'm not sure!
Great digging. The spoon looks like a William Page silver plated spoon from around 1870’s. The hallmarks are usually a diamond at the top with WP inside. A B on its back. A fleur dis lis. Then what looks to be a wheat sheath and at the bottom RD in a diamond. I may be wrong though.
G'day Andy! I don't believe the spoon was hit by a mower as it wasn't mangled in any way - just split - so perhaps the alloy it is made of is brittle, or it suffered stress fractures from an impact that became the weak points to erode at. That's a great day on the coins - keep checking that spot for sure!! Cheers mate :)
Nice being out bush M, I love it but I also love the beach and looks like the weather is warming up for next week. Love those buckles, usually a good sign there's predecimals near by. All the best and Merry Christmas M 😊
Isn't it great when the finds ID themselves? hehe. Nice to have one that's not in the ocean for a change, there's so much more detail left on this one. Cheers mate.
This was a fantastic hunt to watch @DirtFishMish and I especially loved seeing the little suspender buckle coming out, what a little beauty👌 A great way to start my Saturday morning, thanks so much for sharing Mish😊
You're most welcome, Luke! I'm quite chuffed with the buckle, the only other time I've found buckles like that is in the water and they're fairly eroded. Have a great weekend mate.
Mish.... what a lovely, relaxing, enjoying video to watch, before the mayhem of the 'week before Christmas Day'. All the best for the festive season, and keep digginv those holes!
Thanks Kathleen, I think I'll intentionally try to keep the next few weeks of content quite relaxing, we all need something to wind down with over the silly season! All the best to you too! 🎄
Great stuff Mish, always enjoy watching you & Andrew put together! Loved the little buckle you finished with, very cool! Thanks so much for sharing your very cool weekend! Take care & a very Merry Christmas! Marcus
Thanks so much, Marcus! Despite living so far apart, it really does feel like we are neighbours, I'm actually starting to feel at home in the goldfields each time I visit now. Hope you have a lovely Christmas also! Cheers :)
Hi Mish, at the nine minute mark that mystery item looks very much like an old pocket knife that’s had a hard life.. well done great day out with Andrew , have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Mish,looks like you and Andrew found a great spot there with more potential for some nice finds. I've never been sure if the dates on those buckles are the actual date of the buckle or if that's the patent date. Nice button find too.I had every intention of being at that D.I.D.weekend,but it didn't work out for me in the end so hopefully next year. Cheers and nice video as always.
Possibly patent date, I've only ever found a couple and am not too well versed on their history. Hope to see you at the next dig as well, I'll be doing everything I can to get there! :)
I could be 💯 % wrong but I believe the peice you thought might be a fountain pin or a parracel tip graduates from large to small too drastically. I think it may be a scabbard tip...but like I said I could be wrong.
It was actually a pitch-perfect rendition of classic Aussie song Waltzing Matilda! I just wasn't expecting him to do it as I was recording my intro, however the latter part that I captured made for a great opener. Cheers Dug :)
@@DirtFishMish When I was about 9 or 10 years old, we’d occasionally be dropped off with my Polish grandparents who let us entertain ourselves with their record player. Most of what they had was polkas, but they did have a copy of Waltzing Matilda which we wore slap out, along with the only other tolerable record, a non Elvis copy of “Wooden Heart”. We were easily amused!
Hi Mish that looks like a tip of a fancy umbrella and what a spoon piece by piece.That other parts look like part of a pocket knife .The other one looks like a piece from a fuse end. That buckle is pretty old nice hunt thankyou for the video cheers.p.s. Still hoping for that giant nugget lol!
Thanks folks, pocket knife it is, I had a blank moment on the day lol. I'm still hoping for the giant nugget as well!! I'm hoping to have some dedicated gold prospecting time around April or so, it's on the calendar. Cheers :)
What a great hunt that turned out to be. You got some really nice bits of social history ad as always it was great to go detecting with you. Looking forward to our upcoming collab. See you soon mate.
The hunt that saved the weekend, lol! What a ripper spot, we will have to revisit when our skin isn't trying to melt under the harsh Australian sun. Counting down the days mate, see you then. :)
Its very inspiring videos of your treasure hunt i wish i have that kind of metal detectors that i can use in finding here a Yamashitas gold,im glad if you can help me to have that gadget even if it is a second hand.. good luck my friend..
I was waiting for your to twigg that you had the remnants of a pocket knife in your hand, but the penny never dropped did it. Pleased you enjoyed yourself. I hope you have have a great time over Christmas.
I had a blank on the day, despite finding several over the years! Ah well. It was a great day out despite the heat. Merry Christmas to you and yours :)
Do they really date suspender buckles "down under", or is that date just the year that particular style/model of buckle was patented? Wouldn't it be great if everything we found had the year of origin stamped on it??
Well to be fair, we find coins all the time and they have their mintage years 😉 Honestly that would make sense to me re: patent date, however I’ll be the first to admit that it is not my area of expertise as I come from an area with less western history to it. Cheers 😊
If it were larger I would've considered this, but it is quite tiny, the wood would've been not much thicker than a modern pencil. I believe I actually found a walking stick tip in the past once but it was a lot more modern in construction. Cheers! :)
That spoon piece was surely from the jolly swagman who camped by that billabong...
hahaha, love this! We forgot to bring a billy to boil our coffee with. Cheers mate.
@@DirtFishMish if you boiled your coffee in a billy you wouldn't need to find your $4 for a coffee, would you?
@@scoutingforhistory4584 I was never going to find $4 in that spot!! 😆
At 9:20 is a pocket knife. Cool find!

Thank you Mish, always a joy.😊
Sure was a hot weekend. Well done Mish. Love the “keep you in suspenders”. My fave.
Our hunts are just non-stop Dad jokes, oh and the occasional find in-between. lol! Cheers Helen.
I'm thinking the little triangler tin box may be an antique care ashtray insert
Awesome treasure hunt! Nice change of scenery almost makes me want to give land hunting another try lol. Love the buckle 😊🙌
You need somewhere easier to dig than AZ though hehe! Cheers Nora 😊
Close enough to a sinker. Nice musketball. I believe the mystery piece is a parasol tip also. Great hunt. Waiting for the next adventure. Cheers!

Thank you! I’m assuming it would’ve been silver plate, as it’s certainly not silver. Fascinating that it could’ve been there for 150yrs or more. 🤯
@@DirtFishMish Begs the question of what they would have been snacking on in the bush 150 years ago?!
@@veroniquedambrun7517 oh wow - I hadn’t even begun to consider that!!
Spoon is for a soldier ww2

Nice buckle to be sure! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! 🎉🎉🎉😊
That 4 part spoon is cool, possibly mowed over at some point? I had a nice beach detect and found $7.40 best day coin hunting yet for me.

I'm going to have a very good reason to hit up the beach this week... watch this space A. Cheers mate and Merry Christmas to you and the family. :)
Great Hunt with CBK..
Nice finds.. A musket ball does look like a sinker! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Great watch 👍,thank's mish
Mystery item #3 I reckon looks like a ferrule from a triangular bayonet scabbard.
Thank you for sharing your video with us
Nice relics found, good detecting.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You found super gold fields relics ! Well done 👍
Great video, looks like you had a blast, while you roasted lol.
Cheers

Isn't it great when the finds ID themselves? hehe. Nice to have one that's not in the ocean for a change, there's so much more detail left on this one. Cheers mate.
Nice finds Mish that 1860’s buckle likely a Paris buckle 👍,possibly a training camp site with spoon etc
Great hunt and no sinkers well done mish stay safe x

That looks like a beautiful place to detect .
It was such a lovely and peaceful end to an otherwise busy weekend. Pity it was so hot, or we may have stayed longer! 😊 Cheers.
Item 1 might be part of a penny whistle. Item 2 a pocket knife.
Great hunt thanks for sharing regards Sleepy
Mish.... what a lovely, relaxing, enjoying video to watch, before the mayhem of the 'week before Christmas Day'.

Cool !! 👍👋😊 bon week-end FishMish 🇭🇲🇫🇷
I was thinking parasol part as well. And the old knife.
I just like finding old cool stuff, it doesn’t have to be gold all the time. We diggers are kinda all the same!😊 cheers!
Hi Mish, at the nine minute mark that mystery item looks very much like an old pocket knife that’s had a hard life..
well done great day out with Andrew , have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Like 200 hi Mish, amazing British button,wow,great finds as always with a friend,what else?😁👍💪💪 Un saluto e buone feste dall'Italia 🇮🇹😁

I really love your videos it got me out detecting thank you for sharing also now watching Coffee Bush Kid keep up the great work
This is always the highest compliment for me, so thank you Terry! Glad you're getting out and about, happy hunting. :)
Thanks for the video.
I could be 💯 % wrong but I believe the peice you thought might be a fountain pin or a parracel tip graduates from large to small too drastically. I think it may be a scabbard tip...but like I said I could be wrong.
Mystery item 2 looks like the blade of a bread-and-butter knife to me, the two pieces would have been soldiered together to make one blade
Nicely done!⛏️⛏️⛏️☀️
How good are those Gators the CBK has. Thanks for sharing, some nice relics
He doesn't mess about when it comes to protection from snakes!
spoon spill LOL!
Hah, I suppose it was! 😆
Ciao Mish bel video un abbraccio dalla Sicilia è auguri di buone feste.👍
Love to watch both of you hunt! If only CBK could carry a tune!

Not yet unfortunately, a sovereign or half sov is still on my bucket list!! :)
Very Very nice video
Mish. I'm turning into your biggest fan. If you ever come to Los Angeles HMU. Thanks again for sharing.
Mystery item: walking stick tip.
If it were larger I would've considered this, but it is quite tiny, the wood would've been not much thicker than a modern pencil. I believe I actually found a walking stick tip in the past once but it was a lot more modern in construction. Cheers! :)
