Great day out with good company. Well done on your first bit. Now the seal is broken, the rest Judy’s floods in. Well nearly. It sounds good. May it just be the first of many. Congrats mate 👍👍😁
Well done Mish, glad I found your channel. Josh is a great bloke and teacher and has trained us also on how to find the yellow. Definitely have gold fever.
Thanks, Lou -- it was great to be challenged in a new way, super grateful to Josh from Chasing Gold Australia for his guidance as he helped us interpret the land. I'm hoping to give it another shot when I can. Cheers!
Glad to see you find your first gold nugget Mish! It took me 6 days to find my first one, 30 odd years ago, , but it was a great relief to find it 1.6grms with a brand new sd2000, never found enough to pay for itself, but I enjoyed every minute of trying, hope you give it another go! Our Golden Girl Mish! hope you had fun! Cheers!
Hello from Tennessee USA. Congratulations on finding gold. You need to do more prospecting that looks like fun. I enjoyed the video. Stay safe and I can’t wait to see your next video. Cheers
Congrats Mish on finding your first piece of gold .A great thrill for you - perhaps the first of many. Looks like a great day out was had by all.Cheers.
Great vid DFM👍 Funny to see Ed face down in the intro digging out a patch of GOLD, the detectors did a good job on fine gold targets👍👍 here’s a tip, I use the front tip of my detector like a pin pointer to better find gold and plenty of trash lol 😂 see you on the next hunt💍👍
Ed had gold fever for sure! 😂 Great tip too. I’ve got to play catch up with your vids soon, house on the market so everything is crazy here and I’m hardly getting out to swing 💔 but all back to normal soon hopefully, cheers mate!!
How cool, Mish. It was great to see a face of one of my other subscriptions in your video. Virtually all of my metal detecting subscriptions are with you guys in Oz. It was cool seeing you detecting for raw gold for a change. Thanks for sharing it, Mish.
@@DirtFishMish I've always loved anything about Australia and I also like the accents and the way you guys phrase things. It's so different from here. I doubt I could survive the heat there though because I've lived most of my life on Washington's Olympic Peninsula and within a couple miles of the rain forest. We practically have webbing between our toes here 😂 Anyway, thanks for all the great videos you, Krissy, Levi, Glenn and Ant and so many others there make for us.
Thanks Rick! Yep, no bias here, I just wanted to know my machine would work in the goldfields (and to be honest I expected mine to be the least effective due to the coil size - but it really did quite well). I had my equinox 800 in the car just in case as it is proven to work in such terrain! Cheers mate.
Was a pleasure to watch Mish, those bits of gold were tiny but still great finds no matter how small. The lead shot must have been from shotgun cartridges ? Well done on finding your first bit of gold 👌👍😀 Take care and HH Tony
Oh you’ll have a laugh coming in a future coin and relic video, one of my adventures with The Coffee Bush Kid (check his channel now to see his side of said adventures). Cheers George 😊
Well done.. I know Josh well. It’s awesome that Josh has taken you guys out and just goes to show how the UA-cam family looks after each other.. Have subscribed to your channel and keep chasing that AU Cheers from fellow UA-camr Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
Looks like you all had alot of fun. Reminds me back when I used to get out to the mullock heaps with my old whites gmt. It's making want to see how the equinox holds up. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on your 1st little nugget Mish. I knew you'd have to have a go while in gold country. Be careful though it's very addictive and gold fever is super contagious 😅
No sinkers this time around, for a change. 😂 Congrats on the Equinox - while I haven’t used it much lately, I’ve got sooo many older videos of it you can go through!! Cheers mate.
Good work girls its great to find ya first bit an on ya first trip well done, looks like the coaches did well, good on ya fellas, it took me 6 months with a lot of persistance an learning my machine usually after the first bit the rest will follow.👏
Hey Mish, nice to see you out in the fields finding some gold! btw was awesome to meet you at the Prospectors Expo XD (was some fangirling from Christine lol) - btw, our first 5 ounces was found with Equinox 800s on field 1 - they normally show a 13 dipping down to musket ball 8s range
Thanks mate! It was such a blast meeting folks such as yourselves at the expo - I really didn't expect to get recognised quite so much. The Equinox in the cinematic shot of all the detectors was mine, it was the backup option if the Deus 2 didn't perform but I didn't need it in the end. Nonetheless, I'd like to try it out on a future trip sometime as well. Glad your units were so successful!! Cheers :)
Howdy Mish, That was a lovely little adventure. Congrats on finding your first nugget. After watching I think I'd rather go after the relics and coins though. Hard to match up that beautiful 9K gold bracelet you found on the beach last summer with the little nugget you found today. Loved the video and learning a little about prospecting. You stay safe and looking forward to seeing you on Andrew's video. I hope to see you find the lost token. Your pal - Roelf
Hiya Roelf! I agree, I’m still very much a coin and relic hunter at heart but this was something I’d always wanted to try - and the heart got racing every time we thought we were on a signal for sure. I just watched Andrew’s side of our day out - mine will probably be in two parts, so you’ll have more of it to watch in the coming weeks. Cheers mate. 😁
I have had my D2 out at Clermont, but with the 11 inch coil I couldn’t get it to run stable. If I only had the D2 I could still find gold with it, but I have a great gold machine. Great to see you finding natural gold, another feather in your cap and doing it with a multi function machine is an achievement! Another great video.
Thank you! Yes I imagine it’d be difficult to get an 11” DD coil stable in such terrain, to be honest I expected the same of the 9” but it ran whisper quiet when not on ironstone, lead or gold. Didn’t need to go grab my backup machine (equinox with the 6” coil). I hope to do it again sometime! Cheers mate.
It’d be a full day round trip just for me to reach that destination without hunting, so sadly not a regular opportunity, but I’ll do it again someday. 😁
Hey, Mish!! In your Instagram when you posted the announcement for this adventure, I made a little joke about biting the gold when you made your first discovery. I didn't realize you actually do put it in your mouth, if not to bite it, but to wet it and make it shine. lol. That's terrific! You didn't yell "Eureka!" but that's fine, I'm just happy for you and your first piece of gold! As you probably know, the term Eureka is an ancient Greek word meaning "I have found it." It was also a word said to be used my gold miners in California in 1848 when they found gold in the hills around Sutter's Mill. What I didn't know but maybe you do, is that in 1854 it was also a word used by gold miners in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia during the Eureka Stockade. That's when gold miners revolted against the government's gold rush licensing fees and corrupt supervision in gold mines. It is often been referred to as the "birth of democracy" in Australia. Anyway, a little bit of gold mining history tying together two different gold rushes half a world away with just one word. Looking forward to your next adventure! Later, friend!
I didn’t realise it was a term used over there, but was certainly aware of the significance in Australia! Thanks as always for sharing an interesting fact with everyone. And yep, the ol’ mouth rinse is the fastest way to reveal the shine of a small piece of gold like this. It wasn’t pleasant. 😂 Cheers!!
It was brought along as a reliable backup and pulled out to test on a hand-buried nug before the cameras were rolling, but it got put away in the car once we realised the D2 actually gave a nicer and faster signal on the gold despite the larger coil. If I ever take the hubby prospecting we could comfortably take both of those machines. Cheers mate.
Mish , you go girl ! Finally got to those Gold Fields. Mish be careful that Gold Fever has a way of sucking you in , never to be seen again. Wish I was there.
@@DirtFishMish hi loved this video I’m subscribed to couple of goldfields detectors ,don’t want to be negative but I’m no pro when it’s in shovel they tip some in left hand run that over coil no signal throw dirt until last bit is in shovel ,you tipped some in left hand ran shovel over coil still in shovel you threw dirt from left hand at end you found small piece however you never checked the left hand always throwing dirt ,may have been another little one in that dirt hope you know what I mean read all comments hoping someone else mentioned this cheers
@@idig4udetecting73 can you tell I was a little excited/distracted on the day? hehe, very good point made there. I did check those areas with the coil when standing up though. Cheers mate!
Hi Mish, congrats on finding a gold nugget. Were you a bit optimistic with the size of the container you had for your gold nuggets? It looked like a lot of fun. Take care, John.
Haha… actually, I’d forgotten to bring my own container so I may have stolen one of Josh’s. He recommended that container (a berocca soluble vitamin container) as it is made of aluminium and so easily found with a detector if one accidentally leaves it in the bush. Cheers mate 😁
I've just got back from a prospecting trip in the Goldfields of WA. I took and tested the deus 2 on the different size nuggets I found with a GPZ7000 and it was ringing up different numbers for different sized nuggets. A little disappointed it wasn't a bit more accurate with the ID. I wouldn't recommend it as a sole detector for prospecting.
Thanks for the comparison feedback! I found that on the gold I swung it over, the numbers varied between 20’s-40’s - if I got a ‘00’ signal with occasional 70’s chirps it was typically either a hot rock or a heavily mineralised spot that could be broken apart. I ran the gold program, audio response increased to 4, reactivity dropped to 1 or so. I had the 800 with the 6” in the car as a backup if the comparisons hadn’t been stable enough. (Running software version 0.6 version 2 in the vid too if that helps) Keep me in the loop with your findings like this mate 😄 Cheers!
@@DirtFishMish will do. The heavily mineralised soil of WA may play some part in this. I had gold reading from mid 60s to mid 20s depending on the size of the nuggets. The test nuggets were 2g or less. I just tried in the stock programs as I am not familiar enough with changing the settings. 🤙
@@robdarling6807 I find the size really does have an effect on the ID, even with the equinox a small (jewellery) gold piece might be a 2-10, a large gold ring maybe 16-17. The D2 has noted similar results on jewellery but obviously with higher ID numbers. Sinkers etc which are all made of the same lead - same thing. 😊 Would love to have a go with one of the big gold machines one day - I struggle to interpret their signals at this stage! 😁
In the goldfields, the soil can be highly mineralised and give false signals to both detectors and pinpointers. My pinpointer would struggle to pick up a target this small as well 😊
Hi Mish :) Well done on the golden adventure, however you will now have to change your name to GoldDirtfFishMish or similar ;) all the best and fingers crossed, that on your next adventure you find a bucket list item :D
Hi there! For me personally, yes I prefer the Deus II. No one major reason but lots of little ones - more ergonomic, better target response and separation, and the waterproof rating (to 20M depth over the Equinox's 3M) was a major factor in my purchasing of the unit as I typically dive beyond what the Equinox is rated for. I still however believe that the Equinox will suit many detectorists and it is much simpler to 'grab and go' over the D2. Cheers!
Was an absolute pleasure to meet you and to witness you snagging your first piece of gold, had a fantastic day 🤠🇦🇺⛏️
Thanks so much for all your help Josh. It was an amazing day out and I’m very grateful for the company and education. 😁
@@DirtFishMish anytime, it was an absolute pleasure ⛏️🇦🇺🤠
Good man for sharing the love ❤️
The lead shot 😂 every prospector has to have a few, nice work guys nice hunt for the nuggs
Thanks mate, just need sniping lessons now 😂
Good to see the Gold Kruzer being shown... a very cool machine...
Great day out with good company. Well done on your first bit. Now the seal is broken, the rest Judy’s floods in. Well nearly. It sounds good. May it just be the first of many. Congrats mate 👍👍😁
I hope that you can make it next time Andrew ⛏️🇦🇺🤠
Thanks mate. It was a ripper day out, you need to be on the next one for sure. 😁
Thanks for taking us along on your first . Absolutely enjoyed it 👍
And thanks for joining me on the adventure! I wish I lived closer to the goldfields, but we have sworn to make it an annual event now :)
Congratulations Mish👍🏾. Thanks for sharing your first nugget find with us. It's a beauty, straight to the pool room for that one 💛
I’m thinking maybe straight into a bit of jewellery, it’s the right shape for sure. Cheers mate.
Always tastes fantastic Mich - congratulations
I dunno, tasted like dirt to me. 🤣
Thanks Guy!!
Awesome work mish and fantastic job on the editing. Great day out with fantastic people. And yes definitely a annual trip
Thanks so much mate for all of your help. Can’t wait for the next round. 😄
What a great day! 🙌 Big thanks to the guys for their guidance, I’m already looking forward to next time - Katelyn
Awesome 👌definitely have to do it again 👍
Anytime, we are happy to help 🤠🇦🇺⛏️
Awww group hug! 😆
Your little nugget is so cool!
Brilliant day out with you, Katelyn and the guys!
We’ll be back 😁
I think it has to go in some jewellery for sure! So glad we all had this day out. Bring on the next adventure 😁
That was so fun! Congratulations! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks so much!!
Good job glad to see you found a little piece of gold Good luck and be safe
Thanks for the video.
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that au fam. Gold squad out!!!
Thanks mate, was a nice change!
Well done Mish, glad I found your channel. Josh is a great bloke and teacher and has trained us also on how to find the yellow. Definitely have gold fever.
Thankyou wanted to see the ledgend and the dues 2 in the goldfields.great show.
Us too, which is why we brought those machines along! Thanks Peter. 😁
Great video on prospecting I love to see Gold and good job Mish.I enjoyed very much and good Luck to you all.
Thank you Jimmy!!
Congratulations, Mish! Looks like a great day out with good people and some gold ⛏
I'll have to do it again sometime!!
Dobrá práce, přeji hodně štěstí 👍👍👍
Good finds enjoyed the video
Awesome! I love how all the machines we capable of finding gold!
It was a great little comparison, we were relieved that the target was actually gold in the end as well 😂 Cheers mate!!
That’s brilliant good to see you finally out prospecting 👍🤓👍
It was great to finally get there, Mel! 😁
Congrats on finding a piece of the shiny stuff, it always makes the day out in the bush even better. Well done
Cheers.
I’m so grateful to Josh and Flippa for their guidance! 😊
You can try the various nuggets you found with the various detectors to get an idea of what they will signal like
That was different but very cool 😎 I miss my gold prospecting but I'm enjoying my beach detecting for now.
I’m definitely still a beach hunter at heart, been having some fun on the land lately but the ocean always calls me home. Cheers A. 😁
Awesome lineup of vlf machines, like an arsenal array of superslueth technology
hehe yep! It was an impressive lineup on the day. 😁
I loved this. Not as easy as some channels make it look
Thanks, Lou -- it was great to be challenged in a new way, super grateful to Josh from Chasing Gold Australia for his guidance as he helped us interpret the land. I'm hoping to give it another shot when I can. Cheers!
That was exciting 👍
Hello Vagner here from Brazil always following, congratulations to all for the work
Thank you! 😁
Funny work..haha...especially noise came from the tool
The gold machines do sound strange, like a swarm of mosquitoes 😂

Hard work with those Detectors but you can't go wrong in Chinaman Gully had some nice plus gram bits out of there ,well done
Love this
Mish... The Golden Girl... Well done...
Always wanted to do some gold prospecting in the out back.... looks like a lot of fun, gratz on the finds!
I’m so glad to tick it off the list! 😄 Will do it again someday. Cheers.
Well done.. I know Josh well.
It’s awesome that Josh has taken you guys out and just goes to show how the UA-cam family looks after each other..

@@DirtFishMish sounds like a great idea!!
that looked like fun

when scanning the scoop with dirt always scan your hand as well
Lesson learned. 😊
Congratulations on your 1st little nugget Mish. I knew you'd have to have a go while in gold country. Be careful though it's very addictive and gold fever is super contagious 😅
Uau , um belo equipamento, parabéns,
Thanks José!
quite funny to see all 3 of you in the one spot, detectors would have been all screaming at everyone.
It sounded like a swarm of mosquitoes when multiple Kruzers were running, lol!
Good job ❤❤❤
Ripper well done.
was waiting for you to find a sinker haha, ive finally got an equinox 800 now, so your videos will be valuable on my learning
No sinkers this time around, for a change. 😂 Congrats on the Equinox - while I haven’t used it much lately, I’ve got sooo many older videos of it you can go through!! Cheers mate.
G'day Mish
good to see you mixing it up one day hunting on the beach now hunting the goldfields which one is a challenge ?
I'd say the goldfields are significantly more challenging due to the finer targets, but it was very therapeutic too! Cheers mate.
Love it
Channel should be called Gold Fish Dish!

I found that on the gold I swung it over, the numbers varied between 20’s-40’s - if I got a ‘00’ signal with occasional 70’s chirps it was typically either a hot rock or a heavily mineralised spot that could be broken apart. I ran the gold program, audio response increased to 4, reactivity dropped to 1 or so. I had the 800 with the 6” in the car as a backup if the comparisons hadn’t been stable enough. (Running software version 0.6 version 2 in the vid too if that helps)
Keep me in the loop with your findings like this mate 😄 Cheers!
@@DirtFishMish will do. The heavily mineralised soil of WA may play some part in this. I had gold reading from mid 60s to mid 20s depending on the size of the nuggets. The test nuggets were 2g or less. I just tried in the stock programs as I am not familiar enough with changing the settings. 🤙
@@robdarling6807 I find the size really does have an effect on the ID, even with the equinox a small (jewellery) gold piece might be a 2-10, a large gold ring maybe 16-17. The D2 has noted similar results on jewellery but obviously with higher ID numbers. Sinkers etc which are all made of the same lead - same thing. 😊
Would love to have a go with one of the big gold machines one day - I struggle to interpret their signals at this stage! 😁
How awesome 😎 why weren’t finger pointers used? Just out of curiosity 🤗
In the goldfields, the soil can be highly mineralised and give false signals to both detectors and pinpointers. My pinpointer would struggle to pick up a target this small as well 😊
@@DirtFishMish thank you 😊
That spot had some good gold . Pity it’s gone.
Hi Mish :) Well done on the golden adventure, however you will now have to change your name to GoldDirtfFishMish or similar ;) all the best and fingers crossed, that on your next adventure you find a bucket list item :D
GoldFishMish? 😆
Thanks Mark!
Hola por favor puedes poner los subtítulos en Español ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry mate, I don't have the ability to translate them to Spanish! Maybe one day I will be able to afford translators. 😂 Cheers!
Do you like the Deus II better than the Equinox 800 ?? If so why ?
Hi there! For me personally, yes I prefer the Deus II. No one major reason but lots of little ones - more ergonomic, better target response and separation, and the waterproof rating (to 20M depth over the Equinox's 3M) was a major factor in my purchasing of the unit as I typically dive beyond what the Equinox is rated for. I still however believe that the Equinox will suit many detectorists and it is much simpler to 'grab and go' over the D2. Cheers!
nice work girl
Im only 2 hours away . I hope I can get there one day .
