I’m with you on the denarius…..2 years of Latin in the 70’s and I’m correcting everyone too!!
Keep going Alexander … love it!
Thank you Ceri! I studied Latin too I quite enjoyed it! "Gold Gilding" is the other one that grinds my f=gears a bit too!!!! Hope all wlel and thank you for watching, All the Best!
I don't think I could sound as chirpy as you Holz in that wind all day, but then maybe a little with so many silvers. Brilliant watching as usual x
Thanks Debbie - its STILL windy it seems never ending!!!! Hope all well whwerever you are! All the Best, Alexander
Quite nice batch of silver, Ally. That is the kind of days that keep you going at it.....minus the wind.
Thanks Cyndye - hope all well!!!
Nice finds this day. Hammered and Roman coins. Quite a field, Alex. Take care, and see you on the next. 🇬🇧👍🙂🇺🇸
Thanks Martin - not doing one this week as I am spending it with my young son and dont want to be hindered by trying to put out something watchable! All the Best, Alexander
4 silvers in one hunt,you are lucky! More lucky horse finds I guess. Cheers from north Florida.
Thanks Michele hope all well over there! Its mad here - galeforce winds and endless rain i am not sure what the world is coming to but it ain't good! 🙁😁
I like the thumbnail Ally, it kind of looks vaguely familiar 😲
It’s basically the same as all my thumbnails …. Me in a field looking at a hole! I should probably try and mix it up a bit!
Wow good day at the office stunning finds well saved 👍
Cheers Shawn - hope all well!
hallo alexander ..schöne ostertage ! ..heute abend ganz in ruhe 👋
Thanks Stephan! Hope all well! 😁
G'day Alexander, Four silvers, what a day out. The buckle was an interesting one. Hope all is well. ✌️👍🦘🇦🇺🦘
Hi Allan and nice to hear from you! Hope all well down under! Its windy and wet here... never ending... 😁
Thanks for the effort to make these videos - it is always a joy to see the English countryside and your amazing finds. Sorry if I repeat myself but - the condition of the artefacts! It makes such a difference. If I recall correctly, that first buckle with the spurs is from the period of William III.
I think you are bang on Jeremy - good shout! And thank you for watching 🙏 Its much appreciated! Hope all well and Happy Easter!
Lovely silvers there Alex. Love the buckle too. X
Thanks Amanda! You are first to mention the buckle it really is rather special and even more so "in the hand" i think you prob have to see it in real life! Hope all well and All the Best! x
Great day! Fun to watch!
Thanks Mary! 😁🙏
Beautiful detail in that denarius! Wonderful halfpenny too. Happy Easter Alex!
You too Tucker - its got cold here again but they say these days its more likely to snow in the UK at Easter than at Christmas!
another great production! i am anglie we don’t have them in the states! take care and have a blessed easter!
Hope you had a nice one too BC - sorry its taken me so long to get back to you and All the Best, Alexander
Nice coins !! so cool , surrounded by horses 🙂
I know - I am not very familiar with horses but actually dont mind them as much now! Hope al well Philippe and thanks for watching!
Good evening Alexander, another great video with some amazing finds, you never fail to deliver. Your historical knowledge is also wonderful to listen to. I Love your videos. Im working offshore for 4 weeks and i am itching to get back out, though my permission is now out of bounds until October. Arghh! Ill find somewhere for sure. All the very best. Neil.
Well good luck with it Neil - I am sure the finds will be waiting for you!
Fantastic field finds and of course film.grettings
👍👊✌️
Thanks Tomasz - much appreciated and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander
Have a Wonderful Easter weekend Ally xxxShaz
Hi Shaz and nice to hear from you! All good here I am sitting in the rain in North Devon with the hound and the boy!!!! Very nice all the same and takes my mind off detecting and editing for a while Im not going to do a video this week other things are more important! All the Best and much x, Ally
@@HolzHammerSagasYou are right Ally don't let making videos rule your life ☺ ,I only put one video up a month ,and Terry is making videos of his mineral collection which is a passion of his....but family and Loved ones must come first, I always think what if this world of you tube ever went down !! And we could not stop it !!..how much of our precious time would we have wasted...if we lived our life through talking to a camera lol ..Merlin is a year old now and has a Big personality such a darling some times and naughty always..clever and good and downright horrible other days hahaha ! 😅🤣😂 and we wouldn't be without him ! Catch you later xxxShaz
I love the Deus, what a great mix bag of finds.
Thanks ukbeeps! Hope all well!
Yes, preserve grammar whenever possible. Beautiful Roman coin. Just returned from Kings Lynn and found a few bits, but the wind was blowing something fierce, just like yours.
Well done Chuck - still very windy though isn't it - everywhere it seems I am on the north coast of Devon in a gale!
Some might have thought that Commodus gave his name to the 'toilet chair', a commode, however this is a derivation of the French term for a convenience. Commodus was strangled by Narcissus, who obviously thought very highly of himself, if our present day understanding of the word narcissist is correct. Anyway, enough blabbering.😁😁. Still watch all your fabulous videos Alex and once again many thanks for all your hard work in editing them etc. I'm at a loss as to why your subs are not a lot higher. 1000,s must be too lazy to click subscribe. It's not difficult. All the best, Victor.
Hey Victor,nice to hear from you! The subs are climbing slowly.... as long as people watch and enjoy it all counts! I never thought about a commode coming from Commodus!!!! 😂 Hope all well and Happy Easter!
Your gloves as you call them are the same as the military wear in Norway in mid winter so they're far from girlie. They're practical and give you digital dexterity along with warmth
Thanks for that Andy, good knowledge... they are strangely effective!
Horses never worry me, i just make my acquaintance and they leave me alone.
I am not as confidenta s you Harry but I try that... one of these horses sneaks up and bites people on the shoulder apparently ... maybe i need your help to calm him...
Well done. Found my first cannon ball yesterday. I think it's called a falconet. Was in a field I'd not expected one to turn up. Never know what's going to come up next.
Cor Paul, Nice one! 👍
Such Amazing finds Ally, hope you are well, Terry x
All good Terry and i hope with you all too!
Alexander lovely finds not keen on horses getting better with machine don't ignore iffy signals all the best
Bobby please watch the last video bar - one I spend a lot of time at HQ talking about the importance of digging iffy signals... my beef, and i stand by it, is that i don't often dig the "same" signal (with the deus "LITE" audio only) if it sounds exactly the same as endless things I don't want to be digging (mainly cartridges and riflle shells} - 10 years or so only using my ears and NEVER looking at a readout - I get it 95% right and I don't care about that 5% I may be missing if it saves me an hour or two of annoyance at the end of the day! All the Best, Alexander
Always a pleasure to watch. Smashing those good targets out still 😉 soon be on those arable fields
I am quite enjoying the pasture but I am looking forward to a bit of arable too! 😁
Fab day of finds again, thanks for the videos much appreciated, top quality, deep knowledge and most of all fun! Keep it up mate, you deserve far more followers than this.. 🤞
Thanks John thats much appreciated - spread the word! Happy Easter!
You do really find the most wonderful objects. Thanks for the English lesson. Important to speak correctly. My big hang up is “plane” when people mean “aircraft”. Any way keep the luck running. Cheers.
I am definitely at fault there Warren! I will try and alter my aviation vocabulary! Thank s for that! Hope all well!
Another very interesting video Alex lovely denarius and hammered coins .thank you for the info. Len
Not at all Len thanks for watching and nice to hear from you!

Hi there. I'm absolutely enjoying each and every video. Stunning finds time and time again - simply amazing to watch. Lacking proper British superlatives as a Dane to describe my admiration 😄 Anyway thank you so much and greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you very much for your kind words Paul they are much appreciated and hope all well over there! All the Best, Alexander
I'd love to have the top 12 inches of that field on my garden lol. Heck of a hunt Alexander
Ha! Thanks Don and nice to hear from you! Hope all well and Happy Easter! 😁
Hey there...loves the silver roman!! Of course the hammered coins were very neat toom hope you are well and happy Easter!!!
Hi Tim sorry its taken me so long to get back I am on big solo paternal duty time which is good and means no video this week as i dont want to be thinking and worrying about getting something out in time! Hope all ok with you guys.
@@HolzHammerSagas I understand.....hope the boy is doing well!!!!
Good to hear from you!!!
Hi Alexander. That pasture becomes even more astonishing with each visit. Keep the mittens on and don't trim your finger nails, or your good fortune may end. Your Commodus is a RIC 243 and a sestertius with the same legends was also minted. Commodus was born a twin but his brother, a few minutes older, died aged four. He also had a younger brother who died young. It would have been an interesting scenario, if there had been three brothers for their father to choose from. The later situation with Caracalla and Geta didn't end well for the latter. and the earlier one with Titus and Domitian was somewhat fraught. Those hammered coins are also amazing. The horses seem to be substitutes for the good luck that Tasci used to bring you.
Ha! Like a digital Samson!!!! 😁I had a thought maybe Marcus Aurelius named Commodus to avoid an inevitable civil war if he adopted a successor.... Anyway thank you for your thoughts and hope all well down there!!! All the Best John and nice to hear from you!
@@HolzHammerSagas If you find something better than you have done in that field so far, is there any chance of a celebratory canter on one of the horses? It is generally fine here at the present time but we could do with some rain. Unfortunately, the long term forecast is for a drier than average autumn, after last autumn being above average. The farmers never seem to be really happy whatever the weather does. Take care and give Tasci another cameo in your next video.
must've been a Roman marketplace or whatever ... maybe a brewery considered the money lost.
Great video as always Alex. Cheers for now.
Cheers Nick and hope all well - Happy Easter!
Thanks for another great video.
Not at all Philip thanks as always for watching its much appreciated!

Thanks Hotdawg and hope all well with you!
I find you so interesting you clearly know your stuff, I’m just starting and waiting for my first ever metal detector, I hope one day I find something interesting only if it’s a coin.
All the best
Les
You will find loads of nice things Les I am sure of it - which detector did you get?
Love it when I get you tube up and you have posted a video
Ha! Thanks Leigh that made me smile! 😁

@HolzHammerSagas and Happy Easter 🐣 to you Alex 👍
Fab video Alexander as always , weldone keep up the good work 👍
Will do Michael and hope all well - and nice to hear from you! All the Best!
A few years ago I found a stunning sesterius of Crispina who was the wife of Commodus.
Really Steve? Good work!
Awesome finds !! Cheers !!!
Cheers Bob! x Hope all well!
Great hunt Alexander, your research of the coins is impressive. Stay well mate. Al,NJ,USA

Thanks OMS and nice to hear from you! Hope all well!
Fab hunt again Alex - that Commodus!... 😍 Gorgeous artwork there hey?... Success for me too recently - (last Saturday I got up an Eddie i Penny). Typical of me - I've "already got one!..." (As Monty Python once famouslt said... ). Anyways, all good fun hey? and thanks 🙏 as ever for the video... B 🐭
Hi Bobby sorry its taken so long to get back to you i have got the boy for a couple of weeks which gives me a nice break from filming and editing - nothing out this week. Well done on the Edward I penny is it in good nick?
@@HolzHammerSagas Hey no worries Alex 🤝 an' that's great you're taking out some time with him, (I've got 3 in my brood, and need to be careful I don't lose touch with them... 😒). But yeah, the Eddie is in pretty good nick - just bent into a 'bowl shape' 😆 - I'm gonna leave it be for a while I think... Take care then matey... B x
well done Alex...
Thanks Dazza!!!
Hi Alexander, was so looking forward to you eating your hat! Thanks again for another great video. All the best, Gary
Not at all Gary Thanks for watching!
Four silvers in one day... I maintain that it's your lucky horses nudging you into the right places in the fields! Thank you for another great video, rather made my weekend seeing all your hard earned goodies. Hugs to Tasci the hound of the Tascavilles 🐶
@@chopsmclou4592 Ha the Hound of the Tascavilles I had never thought of that Chops thank you! I will steal that from you if you don't mind!!!! 😁😂
You think it windy where you are portland in Dorset the sea is nuts😂😂
Is that right Aaron! Be careful! 😁
What a day Alexander, 👍
Thanks Fireblade!!! Hope all well!
Wonderful hammered silver coins Alexander. That is a great field you’re working. I always enjoy your content, thank you for taking us along…John
Not at all John thank you for watching its much appreciated! All the Best, Alexander
I'm so glad I found your channel, Alexander. I enjoy your videos for many reasons - there is a lot to like in each one! I particularly enjoyed today's video and your extended description back at HQ of the history and the emperor(s) behind the denarius. I hope you do more of these deep dives in future. Thank you, and all the best to you and Tasci.
Thanks for that Keeko I am particularly happy you like my HQ bits as they are fun to do and a bit different and breaks up the endless digging!!!! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
Extraordinary day! Cheers from New Orleans
Thanks Rhett Happy easter! Do you celebrate that out there I know Mardi Gras is big....
@@HolzHammerSagas In the French Quarter, there is an Easter Bonnet parade and contest that has a few hundred spectators. Mardis Gras is hundreds of thousands before final day and close to million on Tuesday.
For Easter most people have church and family luncheon. Non church attendees may go to a brunch. Kids have Easter egg hunts, candy etc that can range from a single family to large events at Country clubs or parks. Peace
@@rhettoracle9679 Peace to you too Rhett and thanks for the insights very interesting!
Great video as always Alex. Did you enjoy your hat ? 😂
Delicious! 😁
What an amazing day. Well done. Gray.
Thanks Gary!
An amazing 4 silver dig Alexander! Things don't get much better! All the best, John.
Thank you John and hope all well - Happy Easter!
Well done Alex great video I've just got a deus 2 lite ca t wait to get out with it
Regards Daz
Good stuff Daz I look forward to seeing how you get on with it!
Great thanks 👍👍
Not at all Graham - hope all well!
Buckles Alex lovely
Isn't it lovely Claire - really rather a special one - all good with you I trust!! x
@@HolzHammerSagas all good here Alex hope you’re ok.
And you stepped it up again!! Amazing silvers of interesting kinds. Who held that Denarius last?
I know the mind boggles Catmanx.... 😁
Just amazing!
Thanks IH! Much appreciated! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
Great video!
Thanks CC much appreciated and hope all well - All the Best, Alexander
I knew comadus was fairly well hated but I didn't know they tried to erase all memory of him from history and I thought people hated calligula. Interesting little history lessons in your channel I hope I'm able to apply it to some of my own finds in the future.
Good stuff Robbie!
Brilliant 💯
Thanks as always Kaare!
Another epic day alex. Some beautiful finds 💪💪💪 can i just ask at about 4 minutes 50 seconds in the background somthing black pops up in the grass do you have any idea what it is lol im hoping you do lol
I do Ian its just a glitch in the editing - stand easy! 😁 All the Best, Alexander
thanks again bud n1
No probs Mr.E - hope all good!
Nice video again, i love the no nonsense
just wondering if you tried Gary's Tekna program
Not yet but i will - it uses a very high discrimination I think and i like running on no discrimination so it might be a bit quiet for me... Hope all well Peter thanks for watching!
Appreciate the high-school latin lesson. Lol. Most people cant spell these days either.
Ha! Thanks Bama! Hope all well and nice to hear from you!
You left the clod out when you disappeared.
Don’t worry Harry I replaced it all when I got back…
Hi Alexander, very much enjoying the channel. Would it be possible to give details of the desktop magnifier you use in HQ. I’m looking to get one and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Baggy all the stuff I use is in the description of the videos and if you use the link then i get looked after by about 25p too - not much but it all helps! Thanks for watching and All the Best, Alexander
Have watched all your videos of you using the Deus lite,I am impressed how much it finds,would you recommend it even though you are using the Deus 2 now?
The Deus Lite is a brilliant machine I and honestly don't think there is much difference on arable land in fact the deus lite is a far more subtle machine all round - for a few extra £££ though the Deus 2 Lite might now be a better option as there will be upgrades etc. Not so with the original I fear.. Hope that helps!
👍👍
Thanks Jillian!
Hi Alex,
Another denarius, you're lucky!!! Here you might find hundreds of bronze coins but no denarius. I don't know if you're gonna find an aureus.. You told us last year, that you might stop doing videos, how are you feeling about it now?
I still quite enjoy it but I am not sure anyone really realises how much I put in to them! I am a bit embarrassed by how many hours I spend editing to make them a little bit different... its certainly economically unviable so the short answer is until I stop enjoying it; or when i find a gold roman whichever comes first! 😁 I wont do one this week I am with my young son and hound having a nice break ! All the Best, Alexander - and good luck with some Roman silver and gold for you too!
i understand, I was doing poor videos before, and it already took me a lot of time, so I guess it takes you very long, you HQ is a brilliant idea and well done. I did my last video on my double aureus find. Enjoy you family and tasci@@HolzHammerSagas
If you ever wanna give away some of your unwanted romans you know who to call!
Thanks alprini - Hope all well!
@@HolzHammerSagas I’m still yet to go out ;( but that should change, I can now drive!
I don't know the name of the detector I bought I left it to my dad to look into because he thoroughly research's everything and he got me a brand new detector for £200 so I thought I'd test it down my local park and the very first signal came up was a coin only a modern 5p ut I thought that's a good sign I only had trowel that broke on my 3rd signal but I dug about 15 signals 4 of which were modern coins also found alot of coke cans but the find I liked the best was an old DUCKHAMS oil can cap. Its sooo much fun I've been out every day this week except Wednesday due to a massive downpour. It's addictive 😍
All sounds very promising Robbie and it only gets better the more proficient you become with your machine!
Yeah I'm starting to get use to signals I love hearing the high pitch when it goes over a coin, excellent fun I'll keep you posted 📫
I'm curious are you much of a coin collector outside of those coins you are lucky enough to detect, Macedonian drachms of your namesake perhaps? Also curious have you ever found a fallen horseman from the fel temp reparatio series? Did those bronzes circulate in Britain?
They did deadstar I have found a few... I also read that in the UK in particular a lot of barbarous coins of this type turn up too - I have found a couple of these also. Would LOVE to find an Alexander Drachm!!!!! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander
Também vou fazer tem meu apóio laik irmão 💎💎
Not at all Macućo thanks for watching and All the Best, Alexander
What did they use to cut those coins?
Im not sure William its a good question... I think a set of specialised scissors of sorts...
