    Hi Alexander, I only discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and have already almost worked my way through all of your videos, I just love them! My son wanted to take up detecting so I’ve been going with him. I decided to buy a Deus Lite after watching you and went on my own for the first time on Saturday. Second signal I uncovered a Henry III cut quarter! Absolutely thrilled, I don’t think I’d have done it without watching you, when you watch something enough I’m sure you subconsciously absorb the information and the sounds. I love the HQ segments, so informative, the work you put in to these videos is incredible, you deserve far more subscribers

    Hi Alexander, I agree with you, one of the best parts of the hobby is researching and learning about the things you find. I found an unusual hammered cut half penny, hadn't a clue what it was, it turned out to be a William I of Scotland (William the Lion) and a rare mint too.
    That Saxon brooch is stunning... well saved. 👏 👍
