Hi Mish, I'm sure I've said this before but I'll say it again. I get so excited when I see new videos from you. You are one of the few (IMO) genuine detector content creators on TH-cam and I for one value and appreciate that very very much. Thank you again for this video.
What a great hunt! Love the scenery. Very unique. Would love to visit sometime but probably never will. Very clear footage and loved your narration. You seem so pleasant and a joy to watch. Keep it up! Sinker Squad approved!! Going to have to do something for with the Sinker Squad moniker. Thanks for the shout out a couple videos ago. Made my week. Cheers!!
Very much enjoyed the beautiful rock-pool beach, Mish. I think it would indeed be lovely to sit a while and contemplate but the urge to "do just a bit" (of detecting) would win out! You did well on all the heave-ho to bring out the targets! :)
hah, I've been called this a few times over the past few years, though I must admit it does feel good to be removing so much lead from the ocean! Cheers Greg.
Hi Mish, it looked like a beautiful day, at a lovely beach. That small scoop looks like it will come in handy during your diving hunts. Be careful moving those large rocks, you don't want to hurt your back. Take care, John
Howdy Mish, Watching and listening to you hunt on those rocky beaches always makes my day. I get up from watching the video feeling relaxed and cheerful. I need to work out more too. Your buddy, Roelf
I was so tired afterwards that I had a nap! Aren't those beaches simply gorgeous. I'm definitely due to do some more lead cleanups on the rocky reefs. Cheers mate :)
Thank you for teaching me about detecting this sort of ground I normally hit the beaches parks I will start doing this this is amazing small coil lotta patience
Thanks for the comment, Roderick! It is certainly quite different to 'typical' detecting locations however it is nice for switching up the tempo every now and then. Cheers :)
I wish it were as comfortable to swing as the D2, there's a huge difference in ergonomics between the two but I do like the clean interface of the 'nox! Cheers.
WHAT!!!!! Your going to melt that 1920s pattern maker designed Coco Channel inspired sinker. That Daughter, is a heathenistic tendency you are developing there 🤨😔. Is this true?? Most definitely 🤣 Good hunt mate. Beautiful spot. Could almost smell the sea from the couch. Glad you got out. Take care mate 👍😁
Well look, if you'd like to add it to your collection instead, be my guest. 😆 Was a nice little spot hey. Always good to get out and get some sunshine on the face. Cheers mate :)
These places are good for the soul, hey. The scoop is going to be super handy for locations that require a bit of hiking in my opinion, where lugging a full scoop is not practicable. Cheers mate!
Fun digs Mish, Hopefully Sunday I will get into the river with my Minelab and see what has been waiting for me all these years. Might be some civil war era stuff. I will let you know if I find something interesting. Smiling, George.
like 470 hi MIsh,amazing place,amazing color sand,amazing hunt as always,great spill coins, great Dog Tag and minute 22.40 Sinker 1960/1970? 😀greeting to Italy
Thanks, Mish. As I've said before, I love the tide pool hunts and all the fantastic scenery you folks have there. I know you make scuba weights with the lead you find and I like to make fishing weights from it...and, if nothing else, it's .50¢ a pound here and it adds up quickly, just like the copper, brass, etc. Cheers from Hoodsport, Washington
Thank you Terry! I love filming these locations but always worry that people won't enjoy the lack of 'decent' finds. This week's video has proven me wrong. It always feels good to clean up the ocean! Cheers mate.
@@DirtFishMish I metal detect and I know the reality of it as well as you do. Your videos a great and it's not all about big finds. I sincerely appreciate all your scenery. It's so different from where I live and I value seeing it. I'll never actually see Australia in my life so keep recording all of you want. I've said the same thing to Pete of Pete's Gold Adventure and I mean it. I greatly enjoy every single minute of your videos, Mish. Be safe and well...
Not a perfect hunting day, but a perfect day for hunting, definitely a place just to sit and clear your head and enjoy. It was a beautiful day here yesty but I wasted half of it mowing and whipper snipping, and sorting my scrap metal collection, "boring". but I got out in the arvo, much more entertaining, a new permission on an old pub site, much better, trouble is ive got to do some whipper snipping there too! but it was a very good start, an 1887 eng penny and my very first 1879 queen vic shilling + multiple alum cans and bottle caps, the good with the bad! Thanks for a great start to the day Mish, see you next Saturday, Hooray!
Oooh that sounds like a fun site! I had one of those as a permission once, very junky as well but there were a few relics. It never made it to video - but I'm sure I'd be able to find it in my GoPro archives somewhere if I looked hard enough and salvage some footage. Cheers!!
@@DirtFishMish I started filming my hunts back in oct last year, but managed to lose the beginning hunts from my very first permission very disappointing , now I couldn't tell you how many hours of film there is, I bought a gopro quite a few years ago, planning to use it in the gold fields, but I never got back there, so now its coins and relics, and to tell you the truth, its much more fun. Ive been contemplating doing a TH-cam thing for a while, but its daunting and a little bit scary, trying to figure out how to incorporate the earlier films into the current hunts a bit at a time, rather than go through them all one at a time from the beginning, probably never happen, I dont know how you stored yours but I filed each day in its own folder, and put them into a folder for that month, at the very least, when I get to old to detect, ill have adventures to look back on, Anyway, Sorry for the extent of this comment, as usual it got out of hand, but I would love to see that historical hunt of yours, hope you can find it, All the best! Cheers!
@@waynearmstrong4757 the short, single-find videos can be fun to watch as well - maybe sprinkle a short one in here and there among the longer vids you’re putting together! The hardest thing to do is start, but once you start getting into a rhythm it gets easier. 😊
@@DirtFishMish I was just about to comment on CBKs hunt, what did he find. an 1866 vicky shilling, beat me by 13 yrs, stole my thunder! Thanks for the tips Mish, very much appreciated, now I must go back and have a go at CBK!, well not really! Hooray!
DFM, after seeing you do a Factory Preset on your Nox, I did one on mine this morning, and dug up wild silver.... 1944 3d.... In a park where I go about once a week.... thankyou
Woohoo!! Sometimes we forget about a setting we’ve tweaked in the past which can seriously affect our results in the field. Glad it produced some silver for you Kathleen 😁
Those little guys are gorgeous though! 🐙 It is amazing to see one, I'd count it as a treasure for sure (just don't pick one up if you want to live!). 🐙
I think I'll subscribe to your video because your on the BEACH ⛱,,and it's something different. I do enjoy the ground and grass but there's just something different about the beach. I know what it is but I can't tell, something that's been in my mind since 1972, since I picked up that 1st treasure magazine in DALLAS, TEXAS.
I believe in the beginning of the video you had mentioned that you didn't know which coil to use that day. I think MINELAB carries/makes a BACKPACK that can accommodate your coil needs, another word's you can take your other coils with you and anything else you need in your BACKPACK including drinking water, that's what I do. I have a 14"×11" coil- 11"×8.5" coil- and a Garrett 4.5" coil. The big coil gets mounted on the Daisy Chain's (loops) which are on the outside of the backpack because the coil is so big 14"×11". But there's other stuff and it works out pretty good, just a thought for you.
Cheers Craig, I actually had a backpack with me on this day (it has special mounts on the straps for cameras) but I carry a lot of filming gear and in this case, also a thick jacket due to the cold. It is rare that I will hike out with multiple coils but if a spot is promising, I’ll go back with the preferred coil on the next trip. Cheers!
Hey there Mish, Awesome hunt, great results and I think you can now be in the Lead Hall of Fame now, you doing OK in the lead department. Scenery is just magical, A bit like where I come from. I was down there just this last weekend and even managed to get a 2Hr dive with the Nemo. That tail thing is actually the head of a Morteon Bay Bug, Yummy love the Bugs, it is actually related to a lobster. loved the coin spill, coin after coin now we are talkin. Till next time Brad
Thanks for the ID, I would've thought it were some sort of lobster tail so there you go. I grew up around this scenery - many a beach walk when I was a little tacker, it's kinda nice to revisit these places as an adult again. :) Lead Hall of Fame hey... you and I could be curators. 😆 Cheers mate!
The digger would be a good option for my diving 🤿... but no one thinks to put an attachment point on the handle for those of us who will need a lanyard so as not to loose it in the ocean 🌊🌊🌊🌊.
Cheers Marc, yes I've already had a chat to Sito about that as I'm hoping to think up some sort of mounting point for this scoop! I'll probably have to drill through the handle and add a D-shackle or similar, that I can then attach a bolt snap to. That would also mean I could hip mount it while beach detecting, though perhaps I could use a miner's pick holder for that too. Hmmmm! 🤔
@@DirtFishMish the digger end might be a bit uncomfortable for a pick ⛏️ holder... The d-shackle sounds like a plan, but why are the simple things always complicated? LOL... see you on the next one! ⛏️⛏️⛏️ (Tracking says orca torch arrives today! 🔦)
i had nox 800 for few months good machine but dont good for trash and red sand beach, now i wait to used deus 2 on that beach in winter when after a big storm, i found 2kg of sink with deus 2 and a similar nemo system in 3 hrs XD good find mish!
Thanks for the video interesting area. The rock formations looks very similar to the ones I have seen in Antarctica when I used to work there summer time only of course! Another interesting fact is that lead is decayed uranium ,after a long time of giving off energy (heat) lead is result. This information comes from a geologist mate who can show on his computer how different isotopes get released over time =lead so it must be true?!! Great video thanks again
okay Mish how many coats today? Looked nice and sunny. Slow way to earn your coffee money girl. Been cold hasn't it. The grey Nomads got dudded this year. Toddled up to Queensland dragging their mobile road- block only to freeze LOL. Nice to see you out and about.
Just one, on account of it being a warm-ish day! Always a slow income on the remote sites, but I've had random silvers and rings pop up in these places so you just never know. Cheers :)
If I could have the display of the nox, with the ergonomics of the Deus I'd be a very happy lady. Sadly the nox's design isn't great for my grip, I can't see myself going back to it as a regular machine but it was nice to mix things up today :) Cheers!
@@DirtFishMish that pause to watch the waves is what I do when I detect, was fortunate to have two pods of dolphins swim by with one jumping and splashing like a kiddie. Was surprised to see all the coins in that one spot, very enjoyable watch. Thanks M 😊
@@arthurgolddigger7336 yeah, the single hoard of coins was a head scratcher, maybe a spill years ago? What an amazing thing to see when out detecting A!! 🐬
Hello Mish!! Well that was still a nice day on the beach ....... When are you going to open your roadside sinker store down by the veach? >L>L> Have a good day!!!
Nice looking spot. General idea of where this was? Hadn’t thought of trying rock pools before. Cleaning up the lead! Nice coins!! What brand of pinpointer is that?
Hi Joe! I don't really chat about where I am unless I'm far from home, but there's a lot of the Victorian coastline that features similar terrain (and even further north - a friend in Newcastle hunts on very similar beaches as well). Rock pools are great, they're nature's own filter, but be mindful of the crabs and octopuses (etc) that may lurk within. Pinpointer is the Nokta Makro PulseDive, you can get it in a few different configurations: www.detect-ed.com/search?q=pulsedive?ref=3 Cheers!
Hi Mish thanks for another video I watch them all. Was wondering how do the detectors and pin pointer hold up with the salt? Is there any evidence of corrosion, and do you rinse everything afterwards? Thanks Matt
Hiya Matt, thanks for the comment and it's a great question too! This pinpointer holds up very well as it is a diving compatible unit and thus has a solid plastic body with good o-ring seals at the parts that separate. With the detectors, it is good practice to clean out any sand from the skidplate and also give everything a thorough fresh water rinse afterwards - I use a garden tap with a trigger hose fitting attached when I get home, or make use of outdoor shower stations if provided. Always good to pay extra attention to any metal components too ie. charging points and headphone jacks to clean off any corrosion or gunk as it appears. Cheers!!
Water temp right now is around 12ºC/53ºF. So... I guess that depends on your definition of warm. 😆 I could probably brave it for a little while in my 7mm semi-dry suit. I am really missing diving though, life is not throwing me many opportunities to dive right now! Cheers Kevin :)
@@DirtFishMish that's definitly to cold I keep forgetting your winters starting and here in Nova Scotia the waters just warming up . It's 16.5 c in Halifax NS today.
It takes a while, doesn't it! These days I focus less on specific numbers unless I'm going for a very specific target (ie. $1/$2 coins), and more so on targets that sound 'clean' and stable. It usually means I end up with a variety of goodies. Cheers Drew :)
I wonder if you have run across any tungsten sinkers? They will be very heavy for their size - about as heavy (dense actually) as gold. They would also be a lot more expensive than lead sinkers - about US$5 for a 1 ounce(US) or 29 g sinker. They will also be a LOT harder (294 HB vs 5 HB). I wonder what numbers they would produce on your metal detector. Here's a handy little chart. (The columns may get a bit wonky depending on the font your browser uses.) Metal Density Hardness Conductivity notes (g/cm³) (Brinell) (Cu=100) (when I say lighter I mean less dense) Alumin[i]um (pure)2.6. 23 59 Copper (pure) 8.9. 30 100 Silver (pure) 10.5 30 106 (alloys like .925 are harder but not much lighter) Lead (pure). 11.3. 5 8 (alloys are harder and usually a bit lighter) Tungsten (pure). 19.0 294 31 (alloys are lighter; harder than all but the hardest steels) Gold (24Kt). 19.3 25 71 (lower Kt are both lighter and harder) A chunk of tungsten the size of a 12 oz (340ml) soda or beer can weighs 19 lb (~8.6 kilos) vs about 1 pound (~450g) for the can of soda (full). It's really fun to let someone try to pick it up; their eyes say "one pound" so the arm muscles try to lift one pound. It seems to be glued to the table. I thought this was enough fun that I actually bought a chunk of tungsten that size. Expensive tom-foolery.
I love the idea of your prank with the can-sized lump of tungsten! 😂 Thanks for the info! I don't believe I've ever come across one, and in fact I've never heard of them being used in Australia but that's not to say that they aren't around. I believe it was one of my californian viewers that mentioned lead sinkers were banned there and therefore they had alternatives such as tungsten. Our reefs are quite rocky and jagged, so I'd imagine it'd be rather expensive for a fisherman to lose tungsten sinkers frequently in such locations. Cheers Peter :)
This is how my videos started out, on beaches like this one 😊 I’ve just been on a park theme lately instead. I too collect and melt the lead - usually straight into a dive weight mold, however I’ve been contemplating getting one for ingots as well to speed up the refining process! Happy hunting 😊
@@StuartSnyder-ti9pk no worries. Yep the Equinox is what I started the channel with so there’s quite a back-catalogue, but it’s been nearly a year or so since I switched it up. The earlier gen Equinoxes (600/800) didn’t always live up to their waterproof rating and as someone who dunks theirs often, I needed further peace of mind. It’s still an excellent machine out of the water. 😁
Oh wow, that's something I didn't know. How interesting! Unreal to think that we use it in such vast quantities for fishing purposes. I'm on the southern edge of the mainland so I can certainly understand the similarities with the geology. Cheers :)
@@paulsdogwalking oh this is embarrassing, that comment was a reply to a different comment about lead being derived from uranium! Lol, sorry about that Paul 😂
I've returned a few of them over the years now (sometimes I even get a photo of the dog for my videos! 😂), generally speaking if they're in good working order and look like they've been lost in the past 12mths I'll return. Cheers :)
Someone should come up with a "button" so we can fast forward through the uneventful parts. Oh, wait! Silly me! There IS one! Mish could talk all day long and not do a thing, as far as I'm concerned. I thoroughly enjoy her light-hearted, Aussie accented banter.

Very much enjoyed the beautiful rock-pool beach, Mish. I think it would indeed be lovely to sit a while and contemplate but the urge to "do just a bit" (of detecting) would win out! You did well on all the heave-ho to bring out the targets! :)
I've tried just sitting on beaches but you're right, I end up analysing them for how detectable they would be! 😆 Cheers Deb!
Such a clever way to be out, enjoying Nature, with something to do to build stories, so enjoyable you narrating all along, 🙏 for sharing
I’ve spent more time out in nature over the past few years (thanks to detecting) than I have in the ten years before that! 😊
Nice beach yeah the equinox 800 next one on my list hi Mish thanks for the video nice coins sinkers your favorite lol goodluck on your hunt.
Thanks Papole! :)
Ahh nice one Mish and the soothing tones of the Nox a welcome sea change!
It felt a little nostalgic! Can't say I'd switch back at this stage, but I'm glad the 'nox fans tuned in. Cheers mate :)

It took me a few minutes to remember where all the settings were! hah. Cheers K :)
Good to see the equinox out again. I have a dog called Ziggy. Nice hunt
It's an awesome name for a pup! Cheers mate.

@@DirtFishMish the digger end might be a bit uncomfortable for a pick ⛏️ holder... The d-shackle sounds like a plan, but why are the simple things always complicated? LOL... see you on the next one! ⛏️⛏️⛏️ (Tracking says orca torch arrives today! 🔦)
i had nox 800 for few months good machine but dont good for trash and red sand beach, now i wait to used deus 2 on that beach in winter when after a big storm, i found 2kg of sink with deus 2 and a similar nemo system in 3 hrs XD good find mish!
hehe, nice work Simone!
Great hunt.
Remote but still finds🙂 Nice video.
Thanks Metaldiver! 😁
Thanks for the video interesting area. The rock formations looks very similar to the ones I have seen in Antarctica when I used to work there summer time only of course! Another interesting fact is that lead is decayed uranium ,after a long time of giving off energy (heat) lead is result. This information comes from a geologist mate who can show on his
computer how different isotopes get released over time =lead so it must be true?!! Great video thanks again
okay Mish how many coats today? Looked nice and sunny. Slow way to earn your coffee money girl. Been cold hasn't it. The grey Nomads got dudded this year. Toddled up to Queensland dragging their mobile road- block only to freeze LOL. Nice to see you out and about.
Just one, on account of it being a warm-ish day! Always a slow income on the remote sites, but I've had random silvers and rings pop up in these places so you just never know. Cheers :)
Sinker spill! 😊
Hopefully you will stay with the nox nice hunt.
If I could have the display of the nox, with the ergonomics of the Deus I'd be a very happy lady. Sadly the nox's design isn't great for my grip, I can't see myself going back to it as a regular machine but it was nice to mix things up today :) Cheers!
Good morning M, go get that treasure 😊
Morning A 😊
@@DirtFishMish that pause to watch the waves is what I do when I detect, was fortunate to have two pods of dolphins swim by with one jumping and splashing like a kiddie. Was surprised to see all the coins in that one spot, very enjoyable watch. Thanks M 😊
@@arthurgolddigger7336 yeah, the single hoard of coins was a head scratcher, maybe a spill years ago? What an amazing thing to see when out detecting A!! 🐬
Nice, thank you
Hello Mish!! Well that was still a nice day on the beach ....... When are you going to open your roadside sinker store down by the veach? >L>L> Have a good day!!!
I melt them for dive weights now, so maybe I should open a dive shop instead! Cheers :)
Nice looking spot. General idea of where this was? Hadn’t thought of trying rock pools before. Cleaning up the lead! Nice coins!! What brand of pinpointer is that?
Hi Joe! I don't really chat about where I am unless I'm far from home, but there's a lot of the Victorian coastline that features similar terrain (and even further north - a friend in Newcastle hunts on very similar beaches as well). Rock pools are great, they're nature's own filter, but be mindful of the crabs and octopuses (etc) that may lurk within.
Pinpointer is the Nokta Makro PulseDive, you can get it in a few different configurations: www.detect-ed.com/search?q=pulsedive?ref=3
Cheers!
Cheers. Only after a state or region, not after any secret spots. Just appreciating the view and differences in localities we all hunt.
Haven’t had a lot of success around rocks on popular beaches in Qld.
@@joejurs4005 no worries at all. Victorian coast 😊
Hi Mish thanks for another video I watch them all. Was wondering how do the detectors and pin pointer hold up with the salt? Is there any evidence of corrosion, and do you rinse everything afterwards? Thanks Matt
Hiya Matt, thanks for the comment and it's a great question too! This pinpointer holds up very well as it is a diving compatible unit and thus has a solid plastic body with good o-ring seals at the parts that separate. With the detectors, it is good practice to clean out any sand from the skidplate and also give everything a thorough fresh water rinse afterwards - I use a garden tap with a trigger hose fitting attached when I get home, or make use of outdoor shower stations if provided. Always good to pay extra attention to any metal components too ie. charging points and headphone jacks to clean off any corrosion or gunk as it appears. Cheers!!
Nice beach shots Mish, the water is so clear , is it still warm enough to swim?
Water temp right now is around 12ºC/53ºF. So... I guess that depends on your definition of warm. 😆 I could probably brave it for a little while in my 7mm semi-dry suit. I am really missing diving though, life is not throwing me many opportunities to dive right now!
Cheers Kevin :)
@@DirtFishMish that's definitly to cold I keep forgetting your winters starting and here in Nova Scotia the waters just warming up . It's 16.5 c in Halifax NS today.
When I switched to Minelab from Whites I felt like going from US Customary Units to Metric units. Difficult to get used to different numbers
It takes a while, doesn't it! These days I focus less on specific numbers unless I'm going for a very specific target (ie. $1/$2 coins), and more so on targets that sound 'clean' and stable. It usually means I end up with a variety of goodies. Cheers Drew :)
I wonder if you have run across any tungsten sinkers? They will be very heavy for their size - about as heavy (dense actually) as gold. They would also be a lot more expensive than lead sinkers - about US$5 for a 1 ounce(US) or 29 g sinker. They will also be a LOT harder (294 HB vs 5 HB). I wonder what numbers they would produce on your metal detector. Here's a handy little chart. (The columns may get a bit wonky depending on the font your browser uses.)
Metal Density Hardness Conductivity notes
(g/cm³) (Brinell) (Cu=100) (when I say lighter I mean less dense)
Alumin[i]um (pure)2.6. 23 59
Copper (pure) 8.9. 30 100
Silver (pure) 10.5 30 106 (alloys like .925 are harder but not much lighter)
Lead (pure). 11.3. 5 8 (alloys are harder and usually a bit lighter)
Tungsten (pure). 19.0 294 31 (alloys are lighter; harder than all but the hardest steels)
Gold (24Kt). 19.3 25 71 (lower Kt are both lighter and harder)
A chunk of tungsten the size of a 12 oz (340ml) soda or beer can weighs 19 lb (~8.6 kilos) vs about 1 pound (~450g) for the can of soda (full). It's really fun to let someone try to pick it up; their eyes say "one pound" so the arm muscles try to lift one pound. It seems to be glued to the table. I thought this was enough fun that I actually bought a chunk of tungsten that size. Expensive tom-foolery.
I love the idea of your prank with the can-sized lump of tungsten! 😂
Thanks for the info! I don't believe I've ever come across one, and in fact I've never heard of them being used in Australia but that's not to say that they aren't around. I believe it was one of my californian viewers that mentioned lead sinkers were banned there and therefore they had alternatives such as tungsten.
Our reefs are quite rocky and jagged, so I'd imagine it'd be rather expensive for a fisherman to lose tungsten sinkers frequently in such locations.
Cheers Peter :)
Love watching your videos. Could you tell me what kind of gloves your wearing.
Hi Mish i do like your outings and i've just seen your sand scoop, best yet so who makes it and is it for sale, also how much ?
Sitoscoop.com for all my beach scoops, let them know Mish sent you! 😊 The new hand scoop is A$89 I believe.
Great video enjoyed.maybe if you had dug a bit deeper you might have found Ziggy..😁
Gosh I hope not 😅😂
Mishers
I'm going to pick up some of those rubber covers ASAP, cheers for that! 😊
First time watching a metal detector video. What's a sinker?
Welcome, and I hope you enjoyed the watch! A sinker is also known as a fishing weight, in Australia we just call them sinkers. 😊 Cheers!
Have you ever been able to return dog tags to thier owners Mish? I've only been able to find and return 3 so far.
I’ve had success with a few, yes! Quite often I get to pat said pup on the return, which is one of the best perks of the hobby. 😁 Cheers Corey!
You know he NOX will excel in finding something trying hard not to be found (like minuscule targets)!
I find teeny tiny targets with both machines, but yes, the nox is particularly good at finding miniscule pieces of copper nails! :)
Ok this is very different. I collect sinkers and melt into small ingots to be used later.
This is how my videos started out, on beaches like this one 😊 I’ve just been on a park theme lately instead. I too collect and melt the lead - usually straight into a dive weight mold, however I’ve been contemplating getting one for ingots as well to speed up the refining process! Happy hunting 😊
Enjoyed
I see you using the equinox 800 and the Nokta Legend
Which one you like the best?
Also What pin pointer do you like using the best?
Just the Deus II and Legend these days. 😊 I list the gear I use for land/beach/diving at dirtfishmish.com/gear if that helps!
@@DirtFishMish
I saw you were using the equinox 800 in this video.
Thanks for the links on your equipment that you are using
@@StuartSnyder-ti9pk no worries. Yep the Equinox is what I started the channel with so there’s quite a back-catalogue, but it’s been nearly a year or so since I switched it up. The earlier gen Equinoxes (600/800) didn’t always live up to their waterproof rating and as someone who dunks theirs often, I needed further peace of mind. It’s still an excellent machine out of the water. 😁
Great video hon. I've subscribed.
Where in Australia are you
Hi Pete, I’m Victorian. Welcome aboard 😊 cheers!
@@DirtFishMish ty so much. I wish I knew where you got your lawn spade. I've been looking everywhere
@@prospectorpete head to dirtfishmish.com/gear and I’ve got direct links for you 😁
@@DirtFishMish great ty
That strange sinker looks like a net weight.
That would make more sense... odd space for a net, though - lots of jagged reefs here!
subscribed cause you were so good as fb page admin
That’s very kind of you to say! Cheers Adam. 😊
👍👍👍😁
When I retire this is how I want to occupy my time. 🙏
Same here, I still have a ‘day job’ most days of the week but these detecting sessions are fantastic for the mental and physical health. Cheers 😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
a couple of tagets in and it'll sound like an old glove, or something
Oh wow, that's something I didn't know. How interesting! Unreal to think that we use it in such vast quantities for fishing purposes. I'm on the southern edge of the mainland so I can certainly understand the similarities with the geology. Cheers :)
@@DirtFishMish lol, i just meant your ears will be used to the old detectors noises,, hahahahaha
@@paulsdogwalking oh this is embarrassing, that comment was a reply to a different comment about lead being derived from uranium! Lol, sorry about that Paul 😂
Next tax return the Equinox 800 is what I’m buying with it along with my tattoo sleeve
كم الساعة عندك الان ؟؟ انا في الجزائر 1:20 .
At the time you wrote this, it would’ve been mid-morning for me, maybe 10am or so. 😊
I would want my dogs lost & found tag.
I've returned a few of them over the years now (sometimes I even get a photo of the dog for my videos! 😂), generally speaking if they're in good working order and look like they've been lost in the past 12mths I'll return. Cheers :)
@@DirtFishMish I understand. But even if my dog had died I would like it as a keepsake. Love the vid’s!
i wish i could under stand u no problems mate
Is my Aussie accent a little strong? I do have quite a thick regional Australian accent. 😄
Oi linda
I can assure you that when you hear them say "without further ado" you've got at least another 5 mins before they start
Hah, sometimes I do actually get straight into it, I'll admit to rambling a little today. Have an awesome weekend, Robin :)
Someone should come up with a "button" so we can fast forward through the uneventful parts. Oh, wait! Silly me! There IS one!
Mish could talk all day long and not do a thing, as far as I'm concerned. I thoroughly enjoy her light-hearted, Aussie accented banter.
