  • A BRILLIANT Day's Metal Detecting after what seemed like forever OFF! It was great to be back out metal detecting with the XP Deus finding all sorts of Roman and Medieval Coins and Artefacts! Including a Roman coin of Crispus - possibly my favourite Ancient Roman personage!
    And the XP Deus I (Lite), which I use, is now at the incredible price of only £449 (Regtons are selling via Amazon) Please use this link as then I get looked after too! Thank you!
    ⭐️amzn.to/3HFRC3I
    ⭐️For the XP Deus 2 (sold by Regtons) please see:
    amzn.to/3DLGKA1
    ⭐️For The Spade I use:
    amzn.to/3wZNA0V
    ⭐️For the Garrett Pinpointer I use:
    amzn.to/3Xc1aZM
    ⭐️And I managed to find the CARHARRT Finds Pouch too... its here!!!
    amzn.to/3lfbFhX
    AND PLEASE SEE THE END OF THIS DESCRIPTION FOR ALL MY FILMING AND "HQ" EQUIPMENT -THANK YOU!!!
    I haven’t given too many XP Deus tips or tips for metal detecting for beginners in this video but please feel free to leave a comment if you need to pick my brain over anything, especially if you are learning to use the XP Deus Lite.
    And Please SUBSCRIBE!!! if you haven’t already - its really good fun making these short videos but they do take a bit of time and its really good to know they are being enjoyed!
    And for all your Metal Detecting needs... advice, ID, stories (and camaraderie!!!) please go to www.thedetectinghub.co.uk - you will find them very helpful
    And for my Film Work I use:
    ⭐️DJI Pocket 2 - very handy wide angle camera and gimbal:

    ⭐️The Sony ZV1; This is the best camera of its type I have bought:

    Don’t take this the wrong way, which of course means take it the wrong way😊. I’ve been watching for a few months, every find you show seems to be pre-cleaned, etc. I know you have been under the weather, etc, but the one day you bring a friend out, you found nothing. I’m a salty old skeptical fart, but when you make these videos, keep that in mind. If you truly are finding these things, in the moment, that’s what we are here to see. Record those moments.
    I do love the history presented in association with these items.

    • @HolzHammerSagas
      @HolzHammerSagas  Před rokem +11

      Are you being serious FF I cant tell? I find nothing the entire time - i have gigabites of video footage you will never see of endless days finding nothing - it was fun having John and i thought it would make for a change and no I do not pretend to find these things I suspect you rather hope i did.

      @@HolzHammerSagas I’m seriously not trying to be an @rsehole, but I’ve also watched too many ridiculous metal detecting videos to take everything at face value. Perhaps it’s my sample size. I have not watched your older videos, but the videos since November/December show very few, if any “live” digs. Like I said, I’m a salty curmudgeon. If I’m completely off base, I apologize, but it’s what I see. Clean finds, nothing in situ, etc.

    "One of the great living detectorists"🤣🤣🤣 Cheeky sod! It was a cracking day spent sussing out a new field in fine company, and I'm so glad you managed to find the sort of stuff we suspected had to be there. Thanks for the opportunity, fellah. The talk on Crispus was top notch and something I wish more people would spend time doing to add some flesh to the bones of finds, though I'm not sure describing the end of the Tetrarchy as its having gone "tits up" is quite out of the David Starkey book of history presentation. But it'll do for me!

    Fantastic Alexander, really interesting. Piqued my little brain into carrying out some light research into Crispus. He was actually born Malleableus and was thus called until he married his step aunt. This did not find favour and he was roundly savagely condemned, being burned at the stake. He was then referred to as Crispus.🙂

    That's a lovely Roman, I find a load of them an 90% are pretty toasted! Often wonder if they were really good coins when produced an the rest were Not So Good! Thanks for the History lesson that's really interesting. Take care😊

    • @HolzHammerSagas
      @HolzHammerSagas  Před rokem +1

      Good question Roger - i suppose it depends on what quality copper/bronze they were using - sometimes I find the odd larger coin that is very smooth and worn which gives me the imoression it was good quality and very used... who knows but you are right 90% are a bit rough.. but look at what a copper Elizabeth II penny sometimes looks like after 20 years in the ground; sometimes it makes you think those romans aren't half bad after nearly 2000 years!

    I can tell you are a thinking man and I did a bit more research and found this. "From around the 3rd Century BC onwards, it was common knowledge among educated people in the Greco-Roman world that the earth was spherical. Aristotle and Plato were both supporters of the spherical earth model, based on astronomical observations, as well as the fact that ships and landmasses disappear slowly over the horizon as they become further away (something that can’t have escaped a seafaring culture like the Greeks). In 240 BC, the mathematician Eratosthenes was able to calculate the circumference of the earth, to an astonishingly accurate degree, by measuring the different angles of shadows that the sun cast at different latitudes on the summer solstice."
