  • Join me on an adventure romp and exploration of a plowed field in Europe. I find several cool coins on this hunt and in my final wrap-up, show my best finds from the last several days detecting. Come for the handsome lad in the red shirt and stay for the MASSIVE silver coin he found. It's a Henry VI of England Anglo-Gallic Silver Grand Blanc which dates from 1433-1444!

    Thank you so much for your few words at the end of your video Beau, it was my pleasure!
    Once again, congrats for this amazing silver coin!
    As we say in french : c'est une superbe trouvaille!
    Aurelien and I were very glad and excited to meet you, and Mister Clem of course. ;)
    Don't hesitate to contact us if you come back in France and keep up the great work.
    Keep in touch,

    It's probably a lot of fun detecting for coins in Britain. They have the potential to be much older than the ones buried in the states are.

    My dad lives in France on a farm, I love bleeping but I was warned by locals to get a written statement from the land owner as the police will stop you because you are not allowed to dig for or remove artefacts from France.
    The usual excuse is looking for lost keys etc. Consequently I have only hunted once in and around that area.
    Good luck and keep the videos going.

  • @greywolfcreations5121
    @greywolfcreations5121 8 років тому

    Think you may possibly have found a Roman era Clavo, or decorative nail. They came in many different configurations, and were in common use up until Medieval times. Imagine the large headed nails that stud a Castle gate, or the smaller ones that adorn many a Church door throughout Europe. Just a guess.

    My dad once told me that when he was stationned in Germany in the 80s one of his friends was digging in a german dude's backyard to eventually build a porch and he found a complete set of plates and all kinds of different ceramic artifact (all unbroken) and they probably dated back to the 1700s and they were really ornate. He told me that one of them had a scene of a hunt imprinted on it and it was very beautiful.

    • @MrPelcat
      @MrPelcat 8 років тому

      +Aquachigger Yep with a bit of luck you can find almost anything.

      @Sofus. 8 років тому

      +Vince Pelcat The only thing I have found, in front of my house was a human hip bone. But my neighbor was less fortunate, with 16 skeletons in the backyard. Our houses are built, on top of an old cemetery and no one has apparently dug them out before constructed started. The most interesting was that, the murderer of the city's mayor from fifteen hundred was found. She had been beheaded, and head placed between the legs.

    • @MrPelcat
      @MrPelcat 8 років тому

      +TheBingbang69 There is a legend where I live that speaks of a boy being buried next to a rock on the side of a road. Nobody ever dug to see but it's the kind of legend that is probably true. Apparently the boy died of an illness back in the 1800s and the family buried him next to that rock because they were poor.

    Boil the dirty coins in Vaseline/petroleum jelly, they'll fizz a lot at first and when the fizzing cedes take them out. It'll do wonders on caked copper, and won't kill the patina. Scratch lightly with a wooden stoker

    I would much of rather have found that 1430's to 1440's coin, than the gold one that you and Chill Bill did together. Also glad to see you and Deep Digger Dan finally got together. You, Chill Bill and Dan couldn't have been three of the most different types of metal detectorist's put together. Deep digger dan is funny on video, you must have just been dying inside seeing him do that in person. Oh, by the way I found out that, no one go's mud larking in the Thames river itself because they have to get a special permit for that. Don't know why Chill Bill didn't tell you that; however, it did most definitely put you in your element, cudo's on that.

    How do coins end up in a plowed field, anyway? That always puzzles me. Was it not plowed when they were dropped, or did those that worked the land carry their coins with them to work?

    • @BlitzOfTheReich
      @BlitzOfTheReich 6 років тому

      I live in a French village and my father law is the village architect. He was constantly involved in projects where farmers randomly discovered Roman pillars and all the crap you can imagine. Like my girlfriend grandmas house has a nearly 2000 year old Merovingian tomb just laying in her front porch. With that in mind I am absolutely not surprised he found coins. I kind of want to buy a metal detector just to search through her farm. XD
