- Dave Stuckey and Julian Evan-Hart go metal detecting on two medieval sites in Hertfordshire, UK. Out of interest, the two medieval coins that were found during filming were a Silver penny of Edward IV and the other was a cut half silver penny of William the Lion of Scotland (1143 - 1214).
That first hole you dug had me thinking you were digging footings for a new house or something you also need to get yourselves a pinpointer its so much easier,
Thank you for sharing your family history, great finds.
Loved it. Thanks for sharing your great finds!
nice finds guys love the we bell good video worth the wach thankyou from john up in Scotland
Nice movie best regards from Joop Holland.
I do my hobby metal detecting almost 45 years.
Many thanks for your interesting video. - I really enjoyed it !
Nice hunt - awesome video !
Cheers!
LOL..."A shotgun cap......a genuine Roman one". Love it! Nice hunt, thanks for sharing. Always love watching how others hunt around the world.
I would have been over the moon with that lot, some fantastic history there.
Cheers, thanks for the comment.
I would love so much to come out with you guys your right up my street. Great video again 👏
brilliant finds...last time I went out detecting I found lots of junk,false signals..a battered Edwardian halfpenny and a lead weight!
In a way metal detecting is easy in middle USA because most everything will be mid-1800's and newer. Narrows down the period real quick. Detecting in the UK or Europe would be a lot more interesting to me. Thanks for taking us along on your detecting trip. Cheers.
Add: I will say I'd prefer loose, dry loam soil compared to the wet sticky clay you guys were working in.
I was thinking the same thing. He was disappointed at a mid-evil anything and Im thinking, I would be happy to find ANYTHING prior to 1900!
The Bell is a great find! Thanks for posting.
Great video, loved the crotal bell 👍👍
Very nice vid guys. Enjoyable. Got a few of those finds when I went over couple of years back. Trade weight and tobacco top. No hammered though. Cheers Doc
Muito show amigo. Belo achado e local maravilhoso
Nice hunting! I can hear him say "oh, the Ark of the Covenant, Oh well, never mind". Enjoyed the video immensely. Don't mind me poking a bit of fun.
Very interesting. Nothing really old here in the states. You need a pin pointer.
I have one now...lol.
David Stuckey what's a pin pointer ? Is it one of those metal detector pointer things
It's a smaller detector shaped like a "dildo" mostly to find stuff more precisely once you know the somewhat location of the "treasure"
You may be on to something....Dildotector. Ha!
Enjoyed the video, i am not too far from you. Am in Hertford :-)
Hi Dean. I work in Hertford. I've detected around there in the past but never found anything of interest.
Love the dice and mount wow great finds gents
Thank You for putting date on the bell I have a couple like that.
Nice dig and some good finds. Happy Hunting.
not the most epic of days ?? if I found any one of those finds, would be better than most of all I have found lol.
The best things I’ve found was $5 worth of coins 😭
gosh what exciting finds. knowing there was a roman road and buildings is soo interesting! thank you. haven't seen you for a while. is all ok?
Yeah, Im fine. Too busy working these days..
Awesome finds and great video. HH & GL from Holland. Marc
I find your coverage of metal detecting very interesting as it was a hobby of my wife and myself for many years. However, I do think that you might show detectorists in a better light if you emphasized to all interested people the absolute necessity of replacing all divots and spoil afterwards
We do replace all divots and fill in holes. We should emphasize in future as you say.
@4:12 is the most fire rap beat in the making lol
LMAO
I was using the Minelab Quattro and yes I do have difficulty, on occasions, with pinpointing. Although it's mainly with very small targets.
Specifically an extra soft bristle toothbrush with warm water and a little bit of weak dish soap.
I love stuff bout mid eviel times
Laura Pounds medieval
That's because your last life was during the medieval times.
@@mattbortz10 I believe that also, my past life was definitely medieval. Get a strange feeling I can’t describe when I read or watch stuff about medieval times. Or listen to medieval music. There’s too many things to suggest that my past life was medieval. I even get emotional from to time when I see drawings or paintings from that era. Almost as if I wanna go back in time. Almost as if they all left me years ago. It’s all so bizarre honestly ahah
Nice video.... Just subbed you
Actually, I swept the area first until I found a good signal then I went and got the camera and filmed it as I went back to the signal. I normally do a very methodical search so that I cover as much ground as possible. I was using a professional camera (Panasonic AG-AC90) which is difficult to carry around whilst I'm swinging a detector.
Thanks for good video:)
Get a Garret pro-pointer it will make this hard hobby more enjoyable
I've just bought the Minelab Pro-Find pointer.
Good idea? I have no idea what the bladed object is, but I'm always grateful for any suggestions?
Thanks for the comment.
Very enjoyable to watch , did you ever get your bike back Julian ? Have you ever dug a bike up ? Joke , regards Daz from OLD MEMORIES OF STEVENAGE......2.
Cheers.. many thanks.
The bronze piece you found in the spoil heap, I have something close to identical but smaller, gutted you couldn't identify it, it is still bugging me!
i cant believe how much ground you miss between swings
Danke.
Nice movie i enjoyed watching
why the round circle to remove the plug when the dig 3 sides fold out and replace is so much neater to the land your permitted to dig on the round plugs leaving gaps and dont fill the hole properly
Great video . I subbed your channel & i'm looking forward to your next video. Best wishes GL&HH
Cheers. I'm hoping to do more soon.
Cheers
I hope you'll tell us more about the little priests!
+HappyQuails The 'little priests' are just effigies that were attached to crosses in medieval times. They were banned and destroyed when Henry VIII split from the Catholic church.
Hi Chris,
I actually did the Field Test for the Euro Ace for Treasure Hunting magazine a year or so back. Good machine. As for detecting clubs? I can only suggest you check through the Searcher or Treasure Hunting magazines? I don't know the Hornchurch area so I can't advise on sites unfortunately. I can only say that the best finds come up in the places you least expect them to?
Absolutely! But that's how they did it.
Dont you miss a lot of targets taking such huge steps when you walk, it certainly looks like it? great video though.
I normally walk slowly to cover as much ground as I can but on this occasion it was awkward to do whilst carrying a huge video camera.
You seem to like just hearing your unit beep!!! Two beeps then DIG it UP. Stop playing!!! DIG man DIG!!! I've been detecting for 25 yrs and I never waste time listening to my unit just BEEP all day!!!
I've been detecting for 43 years.
I'm seriously thinking of getting one!
Which button are you refering to? The one with the knobs on, or the pewter one?
Thanks for that.
You should get a pinpointer
Good video 👍
the thing you found that you say is made from bronze I have found two of them can not find out what they are but I have come to think that they are so you can tighten a leather belt it acts as a slide for the leather strap and that's why it is polished sharp through constant tightening for say plough horse . but then I have been in this hobby for 25 years and I have found only two and these are large targets so my thoughts are it is from oxen and because it is bronze maybe a lot than they look because of being so rare in my location anyway . cheers mate hh
Awesome!
Cheers.
how difficult would it be to hammers coins using the tools from that period
very nice
great video thx friends btw at first thought was that police officer from police interceptors LOL
You couldn't see them after we'd filled them in!
Cheers!
when is the best time to go out detecting i was looking at fields in Feb And im hoping this is correct :) was going to join a club but i dont know if they go out this time of year... but it wud make sense because of the ploughing
Hi dave i live in the hornchurch area and have just bought my 1st detector a garret euro ace! do you know of any local clubs i could join or places to go detecting???
what was it and why did he through it back?
hello there I love your videos, I recently just got given my grandad metal detecting finds he detected around Hertfordshire and I was wondering if I could send you a couple of pictures of the stuff to see if you could indently them?? would that be something you would be interested in??
Hi Natalie. Yes, no problem.
How would that be of any use on a ploughed field where the finds are regularly moved around/
He doesn’t have friends, he has colleagues, quite a stereotype isn’t he.
I feel bad about that post, he is a nice bloke...
Nice vid,read your book :)
lovely video but why shutch big holes?
I did the Field Test in Treasure Hunting magazine for the Euro Ace a year or so back. Not a bad machine. Hope you do well with it?
Yeah, that would be great.
Don't know any sites around Birmingham I'm afraid.
If you ever find out what it is then please let me know.
If i need to say the good things about you detecting, i cant name anything....
Muito bom o video, like
9:59 ha least im not the only one to find shotgun shell tops, great vid u had some good finds. just got a Garrett euro ace have not had much luck yet plenty of old nails, although found a Birmingham war relief fund badge today my first good find, you seem to move fairly fast would this be the type of speed to move, not knocking you, just dont know how fast i can go with them?
Good vid guys. Get a Garrett Pro-pointer though, so much easier.
One thing, all the vids I watch with people using Minelab machines, the pinpointing ability seems quite poor ! never used one, but it`s just an observation.
will do ... but in the meantime look at the video i posted today with my find!
do you record the exact locations of your finds with gps if u arnet u should not detect a medieval site
try a tooth brush to clean coins that way you will not scratch them
pleas gant im from birmingham i do go out but i end of 2 to 3hr driving cont fuind fild if do no any earea rund the birmingham do leat me know thank you.
get yourself a pro pointer.
Nice
Mate no the wonder u don't find anything swinging your detector like that its supposed to be slow and cover as much ground as possible
good tip for anyone metal detecting tie your boot laces six inch apart
Where is a good spot to metal detect in Hertfordshire .
Anywhere in Hertfordshire will throw up some surprises.
button collectors love these on ebay
get in that stream with a plastic calander or sieve
Many thanks.
why does the detector keep changing sounds
High tone means good metal, low tone means rusty iron.
Really? That's the best reply you could come up? The reason for multi toned targets is down to the composition of the target .. Alloy targets like bronze, pewter, aluminium etc that are composed of multiple metals will make the detector give off high and low signals as it detects the different metals in the alloy .. When you find a solid, single metallic target you will get one tone as there is only one metal for the detector to detect .. Hope that helps a bit more
smokeandkippers thanks :)
smokeandkippers Yes but soil conditions also play a part. Generally the low tones indicate iron. I've dug them often enough to find out!
Yes, but he's asking why single targets make multiple tones ;O)
cut the music, please, especially since it blasts after the quieter beginning
a wood plane perhaps
Poke as much fun as you like? Cheers for the comment.
That is what I use on most coins.
5:01 aawwwww my ears!!! set the volume to 40:D
I live in barnet :D
likewise... want a pic?
Done it.
do you want a pic?
Oxe shoe, not horse shoe.
How do you put a shoe on an Ox? They have cloven hoofs!
Look it up! They exist!
That depends on how sporty the Ox wants to look...could be a date night.
