Without a doubt this is the most interesting metal detecting video on CZcams , like yourself i love being out detecting and using the Deus lite. Thanks Alex for taking the time to make these great videos .
Thanks Tell 'Em and sorry not to have got back to you sooner! The Deus Lite is a fabulous machine!
Have you considered setting up Patrion?
Without sounding obsequious your channel is by far the best detecting channel on CZcams.
I would happily contribute.
Please keep up the good work.
I totally agree. Fantastic channel
Thanks Patrick I will try - I don't do a Patreon but I have had something called Super Thanks in place for a few years and it has been used three or four times... by one particularly generous person mainly! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
@@zackarykanaitis2835 Thanks Zackary! 🙏😁
Very refreshing that someone openly talks about the money aspect! I found around 50 hammered coins and a few Romans on one farm and just kept them in a cream cheese tub for years. I realised that they're not much more use there than they were in the ground. So I gave all but two coins to the farmer as he genuinely appreciated them. I'm not a collector, I just like finding things. Really the coins should be in the hands of museums or passionate collectors where they're appreciated, and if they're willing to pay some money for them then all the better. But listing and selling individual items doesn't look like much fun to me so now the next cream cheese tub is filling up...
Ha! Thanks Stefan - well as long as you have a nice long look at them occasionally - I love going through stuff i found ages ago kept in old boxes - occasionally you find something really nice that you didnt appreciate for what it was all that time ago! Hope all well and nice to hear from you!
Alexander, your time and effort are massively appreciated and as great as the finds are, it's your knowledge and enthusiasm I keep coming back for! Your content is exceptionally good fun!
Ha! Thanks Chris!!! Hope all well!
It should never be about the money
You know I don’t think it should either I am just asking the question…
@@HolzHammerSagasno that’s not true Alex. I think it’s reasonable to seek financial sustainability for any product that is offered and marketable. Especially if there exists an income readily accessible. As I see it you offer a product that includes excitement, suspense, historical identification and background. Let alone personality and a certain amount of personal vulnerability and most importantly time. By all means, if there’s a market then it would be sensible to approach it as a businessman and to do so without apology. Go forth and let the market bear the burden I say.
@@stevefranklin9176 Thanks for that Steve it was interesting and good to read! Hope all well with you and All the Best, Alexander
Totally agree , but each to their own . On a personal note beliefs and all that I’ve had a good run this year , monitory Value around 30k and this is because the detectoring gods are on my side ..I’m sure if I sold stuff , my finds would have not come up .
@@1AndyMead £30,000 ..... in a year.....????????!!!!!!!! 😳😁 Hope all well
Your channel is my favorite metal detecting channel.
If I had a way of buying stuff online, I would buy one of your crusty old coins.
I'm a little old fashioned and I don't do online shopping.
The oldest coin I have is a 1788 Massachusetts one cent piece.
My uncle found it when we were detecting in town. We thought it should stay in town, so he gave it to me.
1788 is pretty old for Massachusetts. 😅
Carol if you would like one email me your address and I will send you one! x the address is in my bio
@@HolzHammerSagas thank you very much! I sent an email to the address on your antiques website.
Hi Alex the only items I will flog are gold rings which I find beach detecting I could never part with anything else..lovely full groat..Cheers Kev..👍
Thanks Kev and sorry not to have got back to you sooner! All well with you I trust!
Good luck Al - try to avoid those negative Feedbacks and Scams. Been selling on eBay since 1999 with no negative feedback. One bit of advice from a person who has learned the hard way over the years and perfected the eBay system subsequently. Send the coins in a box - never an envelope. Consider every customer a scammer and liar until you know differently. Lol. Rich ........"screw me once shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me". somebody smart.
Thats very good advice Richard and much appreciated -thank you!!
Your commitment sparks transformation! 🌪 -- "The clock is irrelevant on the quest for dreams-persevere."
Interesting video Ally, a great video as always, Shaz has tried to comment on your video but for some reason she can`t , best wishes to you Ally, and of course little Tasci xx
Thanks Terry! Hope your pack all good too! x
Good luck on ebay. I have gotten a couple of things over the years but have not touched it in almost 10 years. I am so glad you are finally having good weather. I am enduring a humid heat wave following a tropical storm. Alberto gave me a little over an inch of rain. They say there may be another one next week. A break from the endless heat would be nice. Enjoy your weather and take Tasci out to enjoy it too.
Thanks Cyndye, and sorry its a bit rubbish over there its been nice here - warm and clement and just what we needed really...
Your dedication sparks others' drive! 💡 -- "Believe you can, and you've already completed half the journey."
Agreed Alex, people always ask 'have you found anything worth much?' They're astounded when you tell them the actual value of things.
A friend found was lucky enough to find large hoard of civil war coins, he did well out of them, but still, not as much as some people thought.
Is that right Gary? Well I'm off out in a mo maybe its my "hoard" day! Hope all well!
I agree with you, Alex. The chase of finding a hoard are very slim.
Saying that, my Wodan head coin sold for £500 and my Celtic unit sold at Spink for £1000. I have recently found a King Offa silver penny and Spink value it between £500 and £800.
The money I make i put back into my hobby. Upgraded detector, new pin pointer, new wellies, gloves and a finds pouch. So I am not making money, just reinvesting it. Take care and best wishes.
Good stuff Robert and I am glad you are finding such wonderful things - I am very jealous of the Offa! Hope all well with you and nice to hear from you!
Love your honesty, I used to split my finds with the landowner if they were interested and as you said if I had duplicates I’d sell the odd item on EBay to pay for the hobby i.e fuel detectors batteries etc, there is only so much you can keep for your own collection the rest ends up in a drawer rarely looked at.
Exactly Brian but I do like all the stuff lying about in bowls!!!! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
Iv been metal detecting for 6 years and love the hobby, iv never tried selling any thing , I love to collect , until 3 months ago , I was lucky enough to find a edward the 111 half gold noble around 2 years ago its been sitting in the draw,, a local gold dealer was in the area so i took it to him for a valuation , he loved the coin and offered me £1200 pounds , i walk out of there after haggling with £1500 , im using every penny on going on a holiday to Madeira
Good stuff Wayne and well haggled!!!! 😁
Nature of the hobby. You may be lucky to find something really exciting everytime you go out......9 times out of 10 you wont. Its just lovely to be out in the countryside with nature.....especially when i see Hares!!!!
We all love watching your videos and appriciate the time and effort you put in them. I like you could never sell my finds. I have got some coins which could be worth alot but no, theyll stay in my collection for me to look at. Xx
Good stuff Amanda - i love bringing out the good stuff occaionally and it is always available for anyone else to have a look at if they are interested! Hope all well and nice to hear from you!
X
It amazes me that Roman coins are worth so little! Really crazy. I hope you do well on EBay! When I sell on there I do all the postage on the Royal mail website and ask them to collect from the house, therefore tracking is online so will be in your emails. You can ask for them to bring a label if needed otherwise you can print it off yourself. Just an idea. 🙂
More than an idea thats very good advice Belinda thank you ... I need it!
Hi Alex,
When the fields dry out.... we all know that after a couple of years detecting the same areas.
Today one of my favorite fields is being plowed, I talker to the farmer and start detecting the 2 hot spots, I found not so much, less than expected, less and less year after year....
16 quid already for your Constantin coin, wow, amazing, your subscribers like you!
It is worth that lecarnute it is not a common type but they are being generous
Probably the best metal detecting programme out there 👍 the reason i resumed the hobby after a few years from it , so please keep the videos coming Alex really appreciated 👏
Thanks for that John it was much appreciated and sorry not to get back sooner - All the Best, Alexander
I missed seeing your video only because CZcams notifications suck sometimes.
Wonderful hammered coin and another awesome video for our entertainment.
Of note I sell my scrap gold to pay for new equipment, shafts, beach scoops, detectors and anything else I might need, just my 2 cents worth Alexander...All the best, see you next time cheers Arthur
Thanks Arthur - glad you are finding a bit of scrap gold send some my way!
Of course you can..beach detectorists making still good money ....respect from a beach hunter
Good stuff Γιαννης and very well done - Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
I do enjoy and Learn from you and your finds. Thank You. Keep it up
Thanks Catmanx much appreciated and hope all well!
Glad you’ve added your link Alexander I’ll be buying some from you at least I’ll get my Roman you promised and a few quid in your pocket!😊 add some buckles!😊
Hammered coins seem to be increasing in value a lot lately mate
Is that right? If you win the coin mark I will bung another one in with it!!! 😁
Doesn’t matter if you don’t make money, I’ve made hardly anything out of over £1200 worth of gear, but it’ll all be worth it when I pull the gold out!
It sure will alprini!!!! Good luck!
@@HolzHammerSagas thanks!
Great video as always Alex. It`s refreshing to see someone such as yourself address this touchy subject.... To sell or keep!! Well i think if your not fortunate enough to have plenty of money but you love the hobby and all the nature that goes with it. Then i think it`s ok to sell a few bits to subsidise the equipment you need 👍. 421 views in 24hrs on your coin. Love that..... Get a new mini speaker that works 🤣🤣. Keep well and see you on the next👍👍😎
Will do and thank you!!!! 🙏
Always enjoy the videos and finds.
Thanks Terry and hope all well with you!
Thanks for the video.
Thanks Philip!
Great Video as per usual 👍
Thanks Steve the S! Much appreciated!
Hi Alexander. A bit of a curve ball for you? Instead of using Ebay, maybe set up your own selling website🤔 That way you could sell mix of finds and antiques? Personally, I've never sold any of my finds, rather I exhibit them for the museum charity I run and engage people with their local and social history. If you really need extra bunts, instead of selling your finds, why not do talks to local interest groups and charities about metal detecting? It's a hugely popular subject. I run a speaker group. Good speakers charge anything from £75 to £100. A couple of those in your diary every week might help👍
Some very good advice there all round thank you Donna i might be in touch with you about the latter... hope all well!
Hi Ally 👋 this is 3rd ti.e trying g to leave a comment ,they keep disappearing😂 anyway lovely video and very interesting content..I hope to win a coin one day ..l'll give it my best 👌 shot .Loads love to you and yours ,fluffybum Merlin says woof to Tasci xxxShaz 😊
Thanks Shaz!!! All good here and hope with your pack too! x
Gday mate. Great idea i reckon. But with the way the Aussie dollar is x3, I'm out, unfortunately 😢. Was good to see Tasc. Hope all is well. ✌️👍🦘🇦🇺🦘
All good here and hope with you too !
I’ve been detecting 32 years and very lucky to have found some great things over that time with the permission I have . I’d say if you want to sell some bits to fund your channel do it . After all you put the time in to research what you’ve found then the buss has gone and they just sit in a pot . Good luck with your searching 😊
Thanks Themed and very good points! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
The time and effort shows in the quality of the videos
Thanks WaterPower thats much appreciated ! Hope all well and nice to hear from you!
The buzz I get from brushing away the soil and seeing that roman face is unmatched by weekend ecstasy pills.
Ha! Thanks Rosstickles; I didn't know anyone still did ecstasy..... 😁
@@HolzHammerSagas the new ecstasy pills are the path to heaven ,
Great vid as always Alexander. Not keen on adverts but you have enough subs and views to monetize your channel. You would get paid a small fee for advertising.
Thanks Mick 👍
Missed out always! Cheers.
😁
Wow Alex just went on the link and the bid is at £33 who ever buys it must be putting a plaque up with it that it once belonged to you 😉 I have never sold anything yet but recently found some gold coins which will have to be sold if we get them back 😢 good luck on the fields 😀
Ha! Thanks Lesley... funnily enough its quite a rare coin that type look at others of the same people are asking more than that! Well done on the GOLD!!!!!
Nice one young man yes Nice finds deus11 all the way. Ps I've found a 22kt ring on the the wet sand on Cornwall
Beach 😊
Did you Tim - good work!!!!!
😁
I've been detecting for less than two years. I have around seventy gold rings. Many of them have diamonds. The total weight last time I checked was nine ounces, probably over ten ounces right now. Even if I sold it all as scrap gold I would probably net around $8k (u.s.) that's only four grand a year and if you count the money spent on detectors, repairs, gas to and from the beach, well it's a wash at best.
On the other hand if I sell them as jewelry I could get three or four times that. Maybe.
Also, I won't use eBay for anything anymore. Much better to sell locally.
I think you are right Mark ...
Wow thats a lot of gold Mark well done - must be nice to seee them all together i bet they look amazing!
every bit helps. perhaps, you could be an affiliate marketer for the products you use such as shovel, camera, bag, boots, ear pods, etc. just click the link and buy them. good luck
Thanks Kydo - I do that too its made me about £14 in two years! All the links are in the description 👍
Hey Alexander, I understand what you saying and maybe I have a suggestion!! How about do a raffle on your channel, 50 numbers at £2 a number?? Think would work!! Good luck love you videos so hope it goes well!!
Thank you very much Peter and thanks for the Raffle idea... def something to consider and might be fun!
Beech detecting can be profitable over a period of time
I have heard that Man of Kent - a few people are saying it! Hope all well!
Thanks!
Phil you are very generous and have already done more than enough - Thank you! 🙏
True your unlikely to make your fortune metal detecting Alex. However how many hobbies are there as enjoyable and cheap to do once you have your machine. The history and knowledge gained is valuable itself. Can't imagine anything more boring than smashing a golf ball round with a stick all morning on some over priced course.
By the way at least with your eBay site buyers will be purchasing the real thing and not some rubbish from one of the many fake outlets.
Cheers for another interesting video.👍
Thanks for all that Grassy; very interesting as always and i agree with you about the golf - awful sport! 😁😂
I have sometimes made extra cash by finding lost jewelry for people which is also a lot of fun when you get an important item back to them. Detecting parks for modern cash can do pretty good although I usually end up donating it to charity's. One time I posted pic of bucket of one cent coins and whoever came closest to guessing how many chose the charity ( it was almost 5500 ) so 55 bucks went to kids hospital and I got the karma 😉
It must be lovely to see someone's face when you get a much loved object back to them - well done Steve! 5500 one cent coins!!! 😁
@@HolzHammerSagas about ready to do another one cent challenge , sure I got more now 😀
Send your coins in bigger parcels .They don't get lost so easy.
Good advice Jason thank you - much appreciated and i need it! All the Best, Alexander
Thanks as ever for the great videos Alex - and yes, wishing you every success in this new venture... 🙏🏻 All best, Bobby 🐭
Thanks Bobby!
@@HolzHammerSagas 🙏
Brilliant 💯
Thanks Kaare! Hope all well!
Great video as Alex. If only musket balls were worth a pound each, but I never get fed up with finding them. I'm in it for the history. Maybe a hoard one day but I won't be holding my breath. Cheers and take care.
If you want to get "rich" metal detecting you should do beaches. I'm not sure what rules/laws you have in the UK but I have a friend selling gold for thousands of pounds every year that he have found of beaches here in Sweden. But I don't enjoy detecting on beaches myself so I will never get rich 🤷♂️😆
I dont reallly enjoy the beaches either Blomman... unless its scouring for cowries! Hope all well and sorry not to have got back to you sooner! All the Best, Alexander
Watched this and never saw the ebay link? Great finds today!
Its in the Description James! Hope all well!
Nice finds Alex I would sell coins I got the same there's no point in keeping the same coins
Thanks Calvin! Hope all well!
Sorry you don't ship to states, would love some Roman coins. Know international shipping is a huge hassle. BTW my bluebirds are on nest #3,crazy- 7 babies so far and more to come. Cheers from north Florida
I can ship to the States Michele I will look into it but cant be that hard... nest three my God, hard working little buggers arent they? thats amazing and lucky you!!!
Love the hobby of finding stuff sold quite a few hammered and a couple of gold celtic staters on face book group british hammered and milled coins but they dont accept roman still enjoying your vids alex
Thanks for that tip Glen i will look into it though I am not on Facebook... should I be? 😁
@@HolzHammerSagas only you can decide that lol 😂
Wanneer ga je een museum openen Alex,dan kom ik maar U.K,heb er zin in😊
One day Ivan!!! Hope all well 🙏
Alexander , I always send Items "special delivery" ,It costs more but you are covered by insurance and the buyer has to sign for it . Just add the cost to the item and I make sure its in the description also so the buyer knows the cost of postage .👍 ATB Phil
Good advice that Phil thank you - any more ebay tips gratefully acepted! Hope all well!
I always wanted to be filthy rich Alexander. But I tended to just get filthy. Lol. Good to see you out. Nice coins.
That made me laugh thank you Don! 🙏😂
Well if you do some beach detecting/scuba/wading etc, then it could be good value in the gold you find. :-)
Yes, good point Viking.. Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
We never make money out of this Great Hobby Alex after lots of effort and buying metal detecting equipment. Len
Thanks Len... As we all know its not about the £££ but its a nice thought!!!😁
no money here but it affords me peace of mind and i tell the better half it’s my free gym membership. i do swap arms for that even workouts😊
Ha! Very good BC! 😁
💖💖💖
Do it for the history, it's still well worth it
Thanks Lunggd!
Hi Alex , I see your feedback is 80%. You may want to contact the buyer who gave you negative feedback, apologies and kindly ask them to remove the feedback, or speak to Ebay and see if they would remove it , hope this helps
I know its terrible isnt it??!! He didn't mention the letter i put with it etc just gave the impression i was sending out empty envelopes!!! I will do something about it! Thanks William!
People selling machines make the money unless as you say you find a hoard I've had a few bad months and found nothing but still love the hobby
I suspect very few of us try to do it for the £££ Jesse - I ve been having a quiet time of it too but its nice to know something might be valuable!!! Hope all well!
The more people find of a type the less it becomes worth. Supply & demand, kinda fing. Having said that, there is still potential where scarcity is concerned and if the condition is right there will always be value in some things. Like you, I'm a world-class magpie but it occurred to me only the other day that I don't so much as look at my coins, some of which I know are of value, so why not cash them in? Unthinkable a short while ago, but holding onto them just for the sake of it is pointless. It'll help restock the cellar, for a start! Can you make money from detecting? Not in a meaningful sense unless you get lucky, but you CAN recoup some outlay
Well said old fruit and sorry not to have got back to you sooner! All good with you I trust?
I’ve bought Roman coins and hammered coins from Scotland a few time they were lots of coins not a lot . But I found that it’s not easy getting them the shipping goes okay but after it gets to the US takes forever to get them to my address. Not sure why .
Its very odd Robert - I'll make sure something gets to you!!!! Hope all well!
I’m the highest bidder😊
Thanks Mark!
How would I find your stuff on eBay?
Ok. Found the link above.
Thanks Mary! I will be putting more stuff on!
😁 🙏👍
Bloody bizarre Alex. How wrong is it that a Kew garden modern 50 pence piece sells for hundreds of pounds and 2000 year old coins sell for pennies. One of my farmers summed it up a couple of years ago. He couldn't and wouldn't accept roman history. Only interested in post medieval. Let's go on the beach and hope for some spendable coinage.NOT. not about money Alex but holding it in your hand and wondering who lost it thousands or hundreds of years ago.that shiver running up your spine is worth a million pounds my friend.😊😊
Very well put Dave; couldn't have said it better myself! Hope all well!
$200 for that grote ??
What’s a grote?
Just realized your e-bay ID is above please disregard my request Thanks I am interested for my 10year old Grandson who has recently started to collect coins . I have passed onto him my finds with my Whites Classic 111 from the 80's and early 90's.
Unfortunately this item cannot be sent to the usa !!!
Sorry Bob, keep your knickers on! I’m a bit new to this. I didn’t realise I wasn’t selling to the USA. I will change it.
Sell to your viewers
To answer your question. NO NO NO NO NO
😁 Hope all well!
ebay is awful. really more trouble than its worth........bad buyers put me off ebay a long while ago. good luck holz
Thanks for the advice SS much appreciated!
I know people that would buy roman and hammered coins
Thanks Cheesy!
metal detecting isnt about going out to find great things everytime cant run a channel based just on roman coins dont work like that ya starting to sound like your only in it for good finds.metal detecting is about digging the good and the bad being out with nature enjoying the hobby.so anoing when people start to just go out looking for epic finds only.nearly in every one of your vids its all roman and hammered coins.most dont find even 1 a year and your moaning 😂😂😂😂😂🙄
Well we are certainly not all as lucky as you to have found 32 Gold staters Rhys... I didnt think I was moaning at all in that - I supect you just want an excuse to have a good nag at someone...
I've never been into detecting thinking I could make money especially when I collect coins and I know what I pay for them theirs just not enough money in it but I still love doing it also started using Google earth to have a look for what appear to be abandoned fields or where their was habitation.
Very good Robbie thats the way!
I don't understand why coin collectors don't buy off e.bay, I have spoken to a couple of coin collectors and they all say they don't trust e.bay, maybe a small fair could be better.
Thats not a bad idea though I am not edpert enough really do being doing the fairs ... yet! Hope all well John and All the Best
