Beach Metal Detecting for Coins, Relics and.. Dinosaurs!? 🦖
Рет қаралды 8,838
Жыл бұрынI took my Nokta Legend metal detector to a quiet historic beach, searching for coins and relics during the low tide. I found a few intriguing mystery pieces today - can you help to identify them?
(Oh yeah - and there's dinosaurs.) 😂🦖

🇦🇺 ABOUT ME: 🇦🇺
Hi, I’m Mish and I’m a metal detectorist, treasure hunter and underwater diving enthusiast from the southern coastline of Australia! My KZfaq channel covers beach, land and underwater metal detecting with occasional camping and diving adventures. I like to clean up the environment as I go and always remove trash while looking for treasures.

The thing with the rod is a piston from a camp lamp or stove pump. here they are made by Coleman.

It’s interesting how old relics that are just from cars or lamps or contraptions, still have this ‘thing ness’ that the eye is attracted to, and the hand wants to hold. Well made and beautiful, so different from many modern things.

You expressed my thoughts perfectly here, Norma. They invite curiosity. It's also so much fun to ask viewers to chime in with their thoughts, I learn so much every time I put up a mystery item! Cheers. :)

What a FUN hunt! You found so many interesting things. I almost love that kind of hunt more than finding the usual beach suspects, coins, rings, bottle caps. I love that Australian coins are so big. When you find one, you really feel like you found something. I saw some Auto Lite distributors that had that type of plate, but not brass. I'll keep an eye out.
@DirtFishMish Жыл бұрын
Thanks, Marti! That’s why I like spots like this as well - I won’t get rich anytime soon, but the finds spark intrigue and discussion, and there’s always the chance of beautiful coins that no longer exist in modern currency such as the kangaroo pennies (we stopped using them in the 1960’s). The auto lite plate was confirmed to be an old automotive generator plate, which is seriously cool. Cheers! 😊

Great beach hunt Mish! Sinker Squad will be happy you made that big haul. The Autolite tag could indeed be a regulator tag or a starter or generator tag. Mainly used on Ford vehicles. Also, I also think the brassy rod is a pump for a gas stove or lantern. Pressurizes the tank. Till next time- Cheers!
@DirtFishMish Жыл бұрын
Cheers Mike, I figured the sinker squad would approve! These relic beach hunts are always so much more interesting to me, everything tells a story. Most folks agree with you on the rod so that's what I'm going with! :)

Howdy Mish, It's really interesting how that sand gets all the little ridges in it at that spot. Every beach that I have visited has smooth sand. It's cool looking. I liked the little crab army too. Fun hunt with pieces from some far flung places. Thanks for bringing it to me. It brightened my day. Hope your feeling better. Take care. Your buddy, Roelf

Slow but powerful tidal changes here, which in conjunction with the dense sand causes those lovely ripples. I think it's a nice visual for viewers. :) Thank you Roelf!

Hi Mish that was an interesting hunt. it seemed heavy going i bet your arm was sore when you finished. I was beaten to the punch re the rod that would have been my guess to, all the coins were interesting also. Who would have thought you would have a dinosaur spill and a lead sinker spill in the same hunt. thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.🦖🦕🐍👍
@DirtFishMish Жыл бұрын
The dinosaur spill was a fun little end to the day! I do get fairly fatigued after filming a beach hunt, as the filming aspect means that everything drags out a little longer than detecting off-camera. Wouldn't have it any other way, though - it's so fun to take folks on a journey. Cheers mate.

Hi Mish. If you feel good with it, offer some of your finds to your volunteer museum. They know so much and are grateful to be able to display old coins buttons medals whatever, but these are the people who have the ability to get permissions for you to detect historical properties and private and public sites not usually accessible to metal detectorists. Just a thought. I get the thrill out of finding not possessing and the liason with people who get their rocks off on local history is invaluable. Also I am pissed. Sorry
@DirtFishMish Жыл бұрын
I’ve developed some wonderful friendships and connections through this hobby, including passionate local historians. Part of my displaying these finds in videos is exactly that - telling a piece’s story to the world rather than simply stuffing it in a box. No worries about your disclaimer there 😂 have a great weekend mate.

When we were kids mum n dad used to send us out onto the sand to look for money that had been exposed by the wind overnight (I think it was for their ‘alone time’🤭) and that was our spending money for the day. I’m talking about mid 70’s so no zippers in shorts . Lollies (Chonks) were 4 for 1c then too! Ahhh, good times!
