Love watching you dig in ground that was alive 2,000 years ago, if we pop a coin more than 200 years old we think we have something special lol… but a funny thing, last year I uncovered a hammered silver British Half Groat, not in good shape the plow has had its way with it. With the help of Crusader from Treasurenet, we pinned the date range 1505-1509. Love the channel!

    That round thing you found is a kind of draw barrel I think as I could not get a good look at it. Generally you see them in wooden panels at the edge. They are sunk in a matching hole, then a fastener is run in sideways to the barrel from the matching piece of wood. The barrel is turned by the screw slot and the circular wedge draws the two wood pieces tightly together. You find them in woodworking supplies catalogs. I was the head cabinet maker for North Carolina State University.

    First time viewer on your channel. This is awesome stuff, you just got yourself a new fan and sub.
    The only thing I would say is it's a shame the video is not in better quality. 720p is really small for this day and age and the quality suffers a lot from it. Your type of videos would really benefit from a 4k go pro, or a proper DSLR camera with nice lenses (including a macro). Know that is expensive, but I think it would really take the quality of your channel up a notch.
    Take care.

    Oh my, Edward I, incredible!! The Elisabethan hammered silver is a killer find too. Your Latin is quite good. I'm impressed. Also appreciate that you don't go off on religious tangents when explaining the history. Short and sweet. Seems like this new coil is really cracking for you. No matter where you go, your are always on interesting, unique, and historically significant finds. I can't wait to see where you take us next. Thanks. Cheers. 20K by St. Paddy's Day!!!
