I love to research old maps. Its amazing how many areas which were once farms, roads, buildings, etc. are now just forrests only 50-100yrs later. Small villages, towns, and industrial areas have come and gone for ages. In America we don't have the benefit of thousands of years of civilization, but we do generally have very good land use records available and a wealth of that is on-line, free to look up. I also try to correlate old maps with current Google Earth images.
brilliant video, I have been watching for a while now, but I think this is one of your best vids.
I've been a fan of yours for a few years, and love your content. This video was very informative about do's and don'ts. I geocache with my wife and many of these tips are valuable for cachers too. Thanks.
One of your videos was the first about metal detecting that I saw on CZcams and many thanks to you I am back in the game since childhood, using a Euro Ace to deplete the ground of junk one peice at a time. Thank you for another great video Dan!
I’m a Park Ranger in the woodlands of South Wales….. that hole was definitely a Rhino hole 🦏
I’m new to metal detecting and loving your vids, thank you
That's great that you got the permission to detect the park. Great tips about the evergreens leaving less leaf-litter, and not leaving any damage behind - especially in a park where more people would walk through at night or in fog.
Good to see you back. Watching your vids has inspired me to get out and about with a detector. Only been on local beaches so far getting used to the beeps. Keep up the vids you have been missed.
Triple d you brought metal detecting back to the main stream with your personality and awesome finds always enjoy your adventures Brian from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦
Great tips! This will be handy since this Spring will be my first time out. Thanks!
DAN. I have started watching you once again since digging the coast ended. That was a fun year. Have the up most respect for you my friend. From minnesota USA
So glad to have you back in the woods. Cheers
Always a pleasure to see your videos. Thanks.
Very informative and makes good sense. This is the Dan we all know and love. Love ALL your vids
I miss the old metal detecting activities you did in Germany, I really enjoyed watching those. Just watching you during this video, it is obvious that your passion for detecting is alive and well, in fact, you seem to be in your element more than when doing the travel videos. I do enjoy the travel, and I hope you continue to do both. I watched the video you and Mazzi shot where you were requesting ideas to fund the project and I am trying to think of ideas to help.
Hey Dan, great to see a MD vid from you! Just now getting my gear together for my first dig weekend of the season. Spring comes late here in New England. Hoping to get on some Colonial cellar holes!
Another great video. I live in the Forest of Dean, (literally in the forest!) so this is great advice. Thankfully some of the woods around me is privately owned so hopefully I can get permission. Lots of mining going back hundreds of years so lots of iron and junk, but also hopefully a few decent things to be found. If not, then I’ve had a nice few hours in the woods with nature.
brilliant fun to watch and good advice.
Thanks for these videos. Informative, humorous, and to the point.
I'm new to metal detecting so this was really helpful. Thank you.
Plus... remember, once you walk 5 miles into the woods, to bury your beer cans nice and deep, for detectorists who may come after you. Even better, bury the foil that you wrapped your sandwiches in.
Dan especially loved to find foil under the ground, while deep in the forest.
It adds to the excitement and adventure!
Brilliant tips, Dan! Thanks.
Happy to see another metal detecting video. Great work...
I'd not subbed before today because I didn't know if I had much in common with someone "across the pond." I was an idiot! You sir, know detecting which explains why you're one of the most popular channels on CZcams! I'll be a regular from now on! I did gasp when you dropped that butt! Glad you quickly cleared that up! Lol - GL & HH from Atlanta, Ga.
MASSIVELY fantastic video!
Well done Dan!
Very interesting video, non-clickbait👍 Keep it up Dan!
U are my virtual teacher. Good job Dan.
Great video Dan, thank you sooo much! Miss your metal detecting videos☺☺👍
Always good advice! Im keen to give it a go myself next month in Ireland. Full permission, cant wait!

Smashing video Dan - I loved it and learned something from it. This is the Dan we love. :)

Very good video Dan. All very great points. Most of my best finds have been in the woods, far away from modern civilization. I don't think I have anything to add to this. Have a great day!
Very helpful videos Thanks
Dan great to see you back!!
Very informative! I have yet to metal detect woodland areas here in the States. I need to do some research on the woodland areas in my State to see if there are little known settlements or places of interest. Thanks for the tips! Good to see the Travel Troll's alter ego again! :)

hi Dan thanks again happy metal detecting 👍
Great tips! Thank you!
great vid dan
Aloha Dan & Maizie! Very informative video! The part about headphones and wildlife made me remember a story I heard about couple, they were metal-detecting here in America. They just kind of wandered away from each other without noticing, and the lady is looking down and sees a pair of "hairy feet," she looks up and theres a "Bigfoot" standing a couple feet from her with a big SMILE on its face!!Lol! Needless to say, she dipped out of there, and wished she had been listening AND paying attention!!
Hiya dan mazzy Nice introduction to metal detecting and the woods for the beginner and old timers
Very informative Dan thanks bud ,
If it wasn't to you Giuseppe would not have got me back in to this hobby,
All i can say is thank you , it is a brilliant hobby and the finds can be amazing .
Never forget your Roots Dan Yorkshire is full of History HH to you and mazzy from me and the zepster
That was a great video dan really enjoyed that 👍 GL&HH steve
I love your vids, very informative
I remember when you found the remains of that old old road (probs Roman up to Medieval) in the forest in Germany, and all the amazing finds that day or two.
One of the classic Dan videos!
Great video dan
oh Dan! I still remember the first ever video i watched by you "Finding A Huge Block Of Salt On A Stick In A Forest" I thought it would be interesting haha! thought it would just be one video turn out its already been 6 or 7 years of me watching your videos! You are still the silly good ol dan i remember! i respect you very much and "COME ON GET IN!!"!!!!!!!
Love it.... "Get In"
thanks for the information dan. never thought about the evergreens before
great video dan mate 👍...i do like a woodland hunt cool information mate ...just two points i would add first is don't get lost if its a big wood always remember in way you came in and second this time of year mozzys and midges will bite the heck out of you so protect or be ready for that 👍😀
Nice to see a detecting video back buddy
Been here ever since the begging. Glad to see your still strong.
Great stuff!
Thank you for the very informative video... did not think of the leaf litter... the area that I'm going to is an old settlement area from the 1920s there's literally hundreds of old foundations... Google Map was informative that show Paths of young trees what used to be roads... in America the talk about cigarettes we simply call it field dressing... once again thank you I subscribe to your Channel...
Thanks Dan
Love the tips ..love the videos
Great camera work, nice video. Thanks.
Great info!
Bloody well done!
Thanks Dan, great video dear :)
From Canada 🇨🇦Dan & mazzy very good video! We enjoyed it a lot..
I like the video Dan! Maybe make a series out of it?
Loved it!
This was great information and fun too. Knowing the terrain is a big help, and keeping your eyes open can save your life. Be aware of the insects around you too, so you don't disturb a hornets nest or walk over some ground bee's. In America there is the added fun of keeping an eye out for territorial mushroom hunters and pot growers.
Try not to make poor decisions that can get you killed. We had a guy hiking a very dangerous trail here in Hawaii a few weeks ago, he fell 400 feet to his death, trying to retrieve a friends hat. So be smart, be safe, and with these tips of Dan's have fun.
Cool video! I've just purchased a metal detector for the first time and I'm excited to get going 👌👍😘
Andrea Stevenson if you're detecting in America and you plan on going to the woods you might want to bring a gun with you we have Bear ,Mountain Lion also depending on where you're at rattlesnakes, copperheads both of which are poisonous
GLHH
Chris W There are a lot of Dangerous animals in the woods, I am from England my friend and I will be extra careful now I know what could be hiding amongst the trees 👍
Love the woods! nice video
Top notch!
Nice video Dan
Good Vid, Cheers.
Nice to see you back in your natural habitat Dan lol looking forward to you visiting Essex , well get on the fields again ,happy hunting 👍👍
Thanks Dan. Very informative. Really psyched about trying to detect the woods now. Been having problems finding old homesites and foundations from years ago on google earth. I was told google earth could do that. I’ll have to figure it out. Supposedly USGS may be helpful.
