- Well this week I'm going over old sites to see how the Minelab Equinox 900 measures up and what it can find with it. A learning curve is always a good thing.

Thanks for hunting out my UA-cam channel.
My name is Andrew, so why do they call me The Coffee Bush Kid? I may have found the odd gold coin or two in the middle of the coffee bush where others fear to tread.
Metal detecting in Central Victoria, Australia. Goldfields relics, treasures, and the odd Aussie critter.

Hmmm my 900 got dropped of yesterday looking forward to learning took it into backyard this morning found 10 cent's so it's on it's way to paying for its self😇.
That is brilliant. Good luck 👍😁
I just ordered one too.
That piece of lead, looks to be a musket ball that hit a bit something, maybe tough flesh
nice video quality
Thanks 😁👍
Not much left at the old spot. Interesting learning all the new numbers
And when I get the manticore there will be more numbers to learn 😁👍
Veoma interesantni nalazi kolega,veliki pozdrav🤝🇷🇸
Great Hunt , love the Silver! Buttons and of course the almost 30's penny. :)
Thanks for watching Roberto. Take care mate 😁👍
Nice video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Terry 😁👍
3:28 corset fastener!! Well there ya go. Didn’t think you’d see those out there 😂🤣 must have been a party in the goldfields 😉
Gday Ant. I find heaps of them. My best is 3 still joined to the metal strap they were riveted to. Hope you are both well 👍😁
Ohhh nice video Andrew mate. I like the look of the construction of the 900 . Very sturdy old chap. 👍
Gday Paul. I am liking it more and more. Nice and comfortable in the hand while using it. On a bit of a token run with it at the moment. You can’t not be happy with that. Might see you this week if you drop down😁👍
Sounds great. I’ll be there hopefully early Tuesday morning. Get the 6000 updated then hit the gold for 2 days. 👍
Bit behind on my videos this week mate. Really enjoyed seeing the Nox 900 in action, and that saw medallion was a cracker Andrew!! Don't get many koalas in trees around Colchester, so was very cool to see the little fella....couldn't believe he could drop out of the tree & take you on though mate...far too cute!hehe Nice to see you wheedle out some coins & nice bits mate! Top job!!! Hope you & Liz are enjoying your Summer pal
Great going Andrew I’m a bit behind on u tube 😅 that watch chain you found in your last video was cool , I’d love to find a watch with chain and key attached 😂😂👍🏼
G-Day Andrew 👍, drop bear 🐨😂. Nice silver and saw Medallion 🦘 carter carted off😁👍.
🤣🤣glad you enjoyed and got a laugh 😁👍
That was fun :)
Thanks for watching 😁👍
great hunt matey! man thats taking some getting used too haha
Gday Mike. Yes it does take some getting used to. I am just digging the solid numbers. Any plip plop can stay in the ground. Hope you’re well mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Liked the saw makers mark nice
And a few coins cool
A new screw in the shovel will fix that problem lol as u know
A nice wonder in the bush Andrew cool
Cheers 🍻

Gday Crouch. Do like a saw medallion. Got a few now. I know a screw would but I am just holding off making a new handle.
The koala was a brilliant find. Haven’t seen one around here. Heard them though.
Take care mate 👍😁
Awesome work mate well done 👌👌👌
Thanks cob. Just talking of you today 😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid oh really lol
Great hunt with the 900 there Andrew with some nice relics and coins coming to light. You've got some potential overseas visitors now worried about drop bears!🤣 Cheers mate and catch you again next time.
Gday Gary. Quite happy with what I found. I was just doing my patriotic duty in warning folk to look out. It’s very Australian, like throwing another shrimp on the barbie.
Take care mate 👍😁
Great video Andrew.. gotta watch out for drop bears 😂 Made me laugh several times with your commentary 😉
Glad you are enjoying watching Lee. Great that you get a laugh. Makes it worth while 😁👍
I like the journeys that you take us on :) I would have dismissed that saw medallion as a bit of rubbish if you hadn't taken us on that little journey.
Gday Helen. Thanks for coming along. I have a bit of a collection of saw medallions so I knew what it was straight away 😁👍
G'day Andrew! A commonwealth penny with a zero as the last number on the date, theres only 2 to choose from, but its not a 50 50 bet, more like 8.3 million to 1500, not good odds im afraid, And sad to say, your cup hath been runneth over!... Well I can match you with my only find for my last outing, a 1943 threepence. and my oddest find a few days before of a full bottle of old spice aftershave, the metal cap still attached but seeping, my fingers smelt freshly shaved! thought I was digging up an insulator from a power pole. Haven't seen a koala in the wild for many many years, that in itself is a magic find!.. I always enjoy my Saturday evenings out detecting with the CBK thanks Andrew, Cheers Mate! Hooray!
Gday Wayne. You never know. One day I may find a 30 detecting. I always look. 🤣🤣your fingers smelt freshly shaved. Love that. They would have smelt like my grandfather.
It was great to see the koala. I have heard them around the area but that was the first one I have laid eyes on.
Glad you come along detecting with me on a Saturday night. Very happy you like to.
Might be a little family gathering this week 😉😉. Take care mate 😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid A family get together, excellent! I wonder if it has anything to do with a young lady with sand between her toes, guess I wont know till Saturday! I will await with baited breath, no wait its vegemite! Cheers Mate, have a great time! Hooray!
"Fingers smelt freshly shaved". LOL Wayne. That is a curious find.
@@roelf8653 G'day Roelf, it definitely surprised me, especially that it was full, I wonder if it was a hint about my odor, or that I needed a shave, probably both! Cheers Mate!
Hard ground hunt Andrew.
Some of the ground around here is very hard Paul 😁👍
Lovely little koala 🐨
Some lovely little finds there.
So, are you going to upgrade to the 900 or Mantacore?
Gday Craig. I have already paid for a manticore. Just waiting to Australia to get some. We sent out two small shipments to some folks down here but the batch with mine in hasn’t arrived and Minelab doesn’t know when it will. Just borrowing the 900 while I wait. Hope the family is well. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid oh that's awesome. been hearing some really interesting and good things about it. Marcus has one, and he's enjoying it I think. Take care. 💙👍
Ooh that ground is looking seriously dry again! It's doing my head in trying to translate yet another machine's IDs to the ranges I know, but this was really interesting. Despite having a similar size ID range as the Deus 2, the target IDs are weighted very differently.
Apologies in advance - I might not get to watch your next video on time, I believe some shenanigans may clash with your release schedule. Nonetheless, I shall see you when I see you, assuming you're not taken out by a dropbear in the interim!
Cheers mate.
Gday Mish. Yes learning new numbers. I’ve just been going for solid targets. It’s not going too bad so far. I will say it does your head in in a rubbish dump or an area with a lot of different pull tabs.
Looking forward to the family reunion. Roelf has just suggested a live stream???
I will try to avoid the drop bears
Catch you soon 👍😁
S
Well done mate, good to see the six inch coil get a run, but you and I both know that field 1 is where it’s at 😂, take care mate ATB 👍
Yes it is Jim and I am back in it now. Working well too 😉😉😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid I’m 100% guaranteed it is, I’ve used the Nox for over 5 years and tried every setting multiple times and nothing sniffs out those tiny silvers then field 1,
I’m overloaded with work and family stuff going on at the moment and I’m absolutely itching to get out,
unfortunately it won’t happen until next weekend being a long weekend..
@SECRET CREEK PROSPECTING greetings Kirk
Another hunt with some interesting finds Andrew, apart from the coins and silver three pence... what was the mysterious find at 13:30 ? must admit i never seen one let alone find one 🤣🤣🤣 ATB mate 👍 Tony
Gday Tony. Ahh the mystery item. Well my good friend….. it was what I said it was. One of those 🤣🤣. Thanks for dropping by mate. Take care cobber 🦘🦘😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid
🤣 Ok mate 🤣🤣🤣
How is the new shaft design functioning?
Gday Dug. I really like the new shaft. Folds up half a meter shorter than the 800. Very nice to use 🦘🦘😁👍
Howdy Andrew, Such a beautiful place and such lovely weather for metal detecting. Do you notice any improvement in the 900's performance over the 800's (ie goes deeper, separates better etc)? From what I've seen of the Manticore it doesn't seem like it will be the gamechanger the 800 was. The You Tube creators I've watched use it say it goes a little deeper but otherwise isn't to different from the 800. I'll be curious to see if it brings out a wealth of new targets in those places you've been hunting out. There doesn't seem to be a lot of deep stuff in them. I've read you can prevent Drop Bear attacks by smearing your face and neck with vegemite or by wearing a hat with corks hanging from the brim. I reckon you must have left your hat in the Ute. You seem a little to dignified to smear yourself up with vegemite whatever that is. Have fun with Mish. Do a live with her if your up for it please. You and Viv take care, Your buddy, Roelf
Gday Roelf. They are great places. The ground is now starting to get really hard. A little bit more grunting force it required.
The 900 may go a little deeper. Haven’t done any testing on that. It is just what some folks say. Target separation is really good and the ability to separate ferrous from nonferrous is very impressive. I am really enjoying the overall feel of the machine. The way it feels in my hand, how short it packs up and ease of carrying.
Drop bears. Vegemite is a vitamin B12, yeast salty spread you have on toast or in sandwiches or put o good spoon full in a stew to give it a bit more body. I don’t smear it on my face as it makes a mess in my beard but I did tell Mike from the detecting channel when we were over in the UK that it would promote beard growth if you rubbed it in to your beard and it would seem that he took my advice. Just between you and my, I think it might be all the BS I speak that makes my beard grow so well. Good fertilizer 🤣
I did mention a live stream to Viv but she said no. We still have audio issues and at some point need to get a two mike setup which we haven’t done. Got a big lot of stuff going on at the moment.
Hope you and Mrs Roelf are well. Take care mate 🦘🦘👍😁
Drop bear...lmao..
13:22 you never told us what it was??
