That first hole you dug had me thinking you were digging footings for a new house or something you also need to get yourselves a pinpointer its so much easier,
In a way metal detecting is easy in middle USA because most everything will be mid-1800's and newer. Narrows down the period real quick. Detecting in the UK or Europe would be a lot more interesting to me. Thanks for taking us along on your detecting trip. Cheers. Add: I will say I'd prefer loose, dry loam soil compared to the wet sticky clay you guys were working in.
Very nice vid guys. Enjoyable. Got a few of those finds when I went over couple of years back. Trade weight and tobacco top. No hammered though. Cheers Doc
Hi Chris, I actually did the Field Test for the Euro Ace for Treasure Hunting magazine a year or so back. Good machine. As for detecting clubs? I can only suggest you check through the Searcher or Treasure Hunting magazines? I don't know the Hornchurch area so I can't advise on sites unfortunately. I can only say that the best finds come up in the places you least expect them to?
Actually, I swept the area first until I found a good signal then I went and got the camera and filmed it as I went back to the signal. I normally do a very methodical search so that I cover as much ground as possible. I was using a professional camera (Panasonic AG-AC90) which is difficult to carry around whilst I'm swinging a detector.
The bronze piece you found in the spoil heap, I have something close to identical but smaller, gutted you couldn't identify it, it is still bugging me!
I find your coverage of metal detecting very interesting as it was a hobby of my wife and myself for many years. However, I do think that you might show detectorists in a better light if you emphasized to all interested people the absolute necessity of replacing all divots and spoil afterwards
why the round circle to remove the plug when the dig 3 sides fold out and replace is so much neater to the land your permitted to dig on the round plugs leaving gaps and dont fill the hole properly
+HappyQuails The 'little priests' are just effigies that were attached to crosses in medieval times. They were banned and destroyed when Henry VIII split from the Catholic church.
@@mattbortz10 I believe that also, my past life was definitely medieval. Get a strange feeling I can’t describe when I read or watch stuff about medieval times. Or listen to medieval music. There’s too many things to suggest that my past life was medieval. I even get emotional from to time when I see drawings or paintings from that era. Almost as if I wanna go back in time. Almost as if they all left me years ago. It’s all so bizarre honestly ahah
Very enjoyable to watch , did you ever get your bike back Julian ? Have you ever dug a bike up ? Joke , regards Daz from OLD MEMORIES OF STEVENAGE......2.
hello there I love your videos, I recently just got given my grandad metal detecting finds he detected around Hertfordshire and I was wondering if I could send you a couple of pictures of the stuff to see if you could indently them?? would that be something you would be interested in??
when is the best time to go out detecting i was looking at fields in Feb And im hoping this is correct :) was going to join a club but i dont know if they go out this time of year... but it wud make sense because of the ploughing
Hi dave i live in the hornchurch area and have just bought my 1st detector a garret euro ace! do you know of any local clubs i could join or places to go detecting???
You seem to like just hearing your unit beep!!! Two beeps then DIG it UP. Stop playing!!! DIG man DIG!!! I've been detecting for 25 yrs and I never waste time listening to my unit just BEEP all day!!!
9:59 ha least im not the only one to find shotgun shell tops, great vid u had some good finds. just got a Garrett euro ace have not had much luck yet plenty of old nails, although found a Birmingham war relief fund badge today my first good find, you seem to move fairly fast would this be the type of speed to move, not knocking you, just dont know how fast i can go with them?
the thing you found that you say is made from bronze I have found two of them can not find out what they are but I have come to think that they are so you can tighten a leather belt it acts as a slide for the leather strap and that's why it is polished sharp through constant tightening for say plough horse . but then I have been in this hobby for 25 years and I have found only two and these are large targets so my thoughts are it is from oxen and because it is bronze maybe a lot than they look because of being so rare in my location anyway . cheers mate hh
Good vid guys. Get a Garrett Pro-pointer though, so much easier. One thing, all the vids I watch with people using Minelab machines, the pinpointing ability seems quite poor ! never used one, but it`s just an observation.
pleas gant im from birmingham i do go out but i end of 2 to 3hr driving cont fuind fild if do no any earea rund the birmingham do leat me know thank you.
Really? That's the best reply you could come up? The reason for multi toned targets is down to the composition of the target .. Alloy targets like bronze, pewter, aluminium etc that are composed of multiple metals will make the detector give off high and low signals as it detects the different metals in the alloy .. When you find a solid, single metallic target you will get one tone as there is only one metal for the detector to detect .. Hope that helps a bit more
That first hole you dug had me thinking you were digging footings for a new house or something you also need to get yourselves a pinpointer its so much easier,
Thank you for sharing your family history, great finds.
Loved it. Thanks for sharing your great finds!
Nice movie best regards from Joop Holland.
I do my hobby metal detecting almost 45 years.
nice finds guys love the we bell good video worth the wach thankyou from john up in Scotland
LOL..."A shotgun cap......a genuine Roman one". Love it! Nice hunt, thanks for sharing. Always love watching how others hunt around the world.

I was thinking the same thing. He was disappointed at a mid-evil anything and Im thinking, I would be happy to find ANYTHING prior to 1900!
I would have been over the moon with that lot, some fantastic history there.
The Bell is a great find! Thanks for posting.
brilliant finds...last time I went out detecting I found lots of junk,false signals..a battered Edwardian halfpenny and a lead weight!
Many thanks for your interesting video. - I really enjoyed it !
Very interesting. Nothing really old here in the states. You need a pin pointer.
I have one now...lol.
David Stuckey what's a pin pointer ? Is it one of those metal detector pointer things
It's a smaller detector shaped like a "dildo" mostly to find stuff more precisely once you know the somewhat location of the "treasure"
You may be on to something....Dildotector. Ha!
Nice hunt - awesome video !
Cheers!
Nice hunting! I can hear him say "oh, the Ark of the Covenant, Oh well, never mind". Enjoyed the video immensely. Don't mind me poking a bit of fun.
Cheers, thanks for the comment.
I would love so much to come out with you guys your right up my street. Great video again 👏
Very nice vid guys. Enjoyable. Got a few of those finds when I went over couple of years back. Trade weight and tobacco top. No hammered though. Cheers Doc
not the most epic of days ?? if I found any one of those finds, would be better than most of all I have found lol.
The best things I’ve found was $5 worth of coins 😭
Good idea? I have no idea what the bladed object is, but I'm always grateful for any suggestions?
Muito show amigo. Belo achado e local maravilhoso
Great video, loved the crotal bell 👍👍
Awesome finds and great video. HH & GL from Holland. Marc
I was using the Minelab Quattro and yes I do have difficulty, on occasions, with pinpointing. Although it's mainly with very small targets.
Enjoyed the video, i am not too far from you. Am in Hertford :-)
Hi Dean. I work in Hertford. I've detected around there in the past but never found anything of interest.
Hi Chris,

Specifically an extra soft bristle toothbrush with warm water and a little bit of weak dish soap.
Actually, I swept the area first until I found a good signal then I went and got the camera and filmed it as I went back to the signal. I normally do a very methodical search so that I cover as much ground as possible. I was using a professional camera (Panasonic AG-AC90) which is difficult to carry around whilst I'm swinging a detector.
Nice dig and some good finds. Happy Hunting.
Dont you miss a lot of targets taking such huge steps when you walk, it certainly looks like it? great video though.
I normally walk slowly to cover as much ground as I can but on this occasion it was awkward to do whilst carrying a huge video camera.
gosh what exciting finds. knowing there was a roman road and buildings is soo interesting! thank you. haven't seen you for a while. is all ok?
Yeah, Im fine. Too busy working these days..
The bronze piece you found in the spoil heap, I have something close to identical but smaller, gutted you couldn't identify it, it is still bugging me!

We do replace all divots and fill in holes. We should emphasize in future as you say.
Thank You for putting date on the bell I have a couple like that.
Thanks for good video:)
Get a Garret pro-pointer it will make this hard hobby more enjoyable
I've just bought the Minelab Pro-Find pointer.
Nice video.... Just subbed you
why the round circle to remove the plug when the dig 3 sides fold out and replace is so much neater to the land your permitted to dig on the round plugs leaving gaps and dont fill the hole properly
Love the dice and mount wow great finds gents
@4:12 is the most fire rap beat in the making lol
LMAO
I hope you'll tell us more about the little priests!
+HappyQuails The 'little priests' are just effigies that were attached to crosses in medieval times. They were banned and destroyed when Henry VIII split from the Catholic church.
how difficult would it be to hammers coins using the tools from that period
i cant believe how much ground you miss between swings
I love stuff bout mid eviel times
Laura Pounds medieval
That's because your last life was during the medieval times.
@@mattbortz10 I believe that also, my past life was definitely medieval. Get a strange feeling I can’t describe when I read or watch stuff about medieval times. Or listen to medieval music.

lovely video but why shutch big holes?

Hi Natalie. Yes, no problem.
when is the best time to go out detecting i was looking at fields in Feb And im hoping this is correct :) was going to join a club but i dont know if they go out this time of year... but it wud make sense because of the ploughing
Thanks for the comment.
I did the Field Test in Treasure Hunting magazine for the Euro Ace a year or so back. Not a bad machine. Hope you do well with it?
Great video . I subbed your channel & i'm looking forward to your next video. Best wishes GL&HH
Cheers. I'm hoping to do more soon.
Cheers
You should get a pinpointer
You couldn't see them after we'd filled them in!
I'm seriously thinking of getting one!
Hi dave i live in the hornchurch area and have just bought my 1st detector a garret euro ace! do you know of any local clubs i could join or places to go detecting???
Don't know any sites around Birmingham I'm afraid.
How would that be of any use on a ploughed field where the finds are regularly moved around/
If you ever find out what it is then please let me know.
You seem to like just hearing your unit beep!!! Two beeps then DIG it UP. Stop playing!!! DIG man DIG!!! I've been detecting for 25 yrs and I never waste time listening to my unit just BEEP all day!!!
I've been detecting for 43 years.
Cheers.. many thanks.
Which button are you refering to? The one with the knobs on, or the pewter one?
9:59 ha least im not the only one to find shotgun shell tops, great vid u had some good finds. just got a Garrett euro ace have not had much luck yet plenty of old nails, although found a Birmingham war relief fund badge today my first good find, you seem to move fairly fast would this be the type of speed to move, not knocking you, just dont know how fast i can go with them?
what was it and why did he through it back?
the thing you found that you say is made from bronze I have found two of them can not find out what they are but I have come to think that they are so you can tighten a leather belt it acts as a slide for the leather strap and that's why it is polished sharp through constant tightening for say plough horse . but then I have been in this hobby for 25 years and I have found only two and these are large targets so my thoughts are it is from oxen and because it is bronze maybe a lot than they look because of being so rare in my location anyway . cheers mate hh
Nice movie i enjoyed watching
If i need to say the good things about you detecting, i cant name anything....
He doesn’t have friends, he has colleagues, quite a stereotype isn’t he.
I feel bad about that post, he is a nice bloke...
Good video 👍
Absolutely! But that's how they did it.
Good vid guys. Get a Garrett Pro-pointer though, so much easier.
One thing, all the vids I watch with people using Minelab machines, the pinpointing ability seems quite poor ! never used one, but it`s just an observation.
Where is a good spot to metal detect in Hertfordshire .
Anywhere in Hertfordshire will throw up some surprises.
great video thx friends btw at first thought was that police officer from police interceptors LOL
Thanks for that.
pleas gant im from birmingham i do go out but i end of 2 to 3hr driving cont fuind fild if do no any earea rund the birmingham do leat me know thank you.
why does the detector keep changing sounds
High tone means good metal, low tone means rusty iron.
Really? That's the best reply you could come up? The reason for multi toned targets is down to the composition of the target .. Alloy targets like bronze, pewter, aluminium etc that are composed of multiple metals will make the detector give off high and low signals as it detects the different metals in the alloy .. When you find a solid, single metallic target you will get one tone as there is only one metal for the detector to detect .. Hope that helps a bit more
smokeandkippers thanks :)
smokeandkippers Yes but soil conditions also play a part. Generally the low tones indicate iron. I've dug them often enough to find out!
Yes, but he's asking why single targets make multiple tones ;O)
do you record the exact locations of your finds with gps if u arnet u should not detect a medieval site
will do ... but in the meantime look at the video i posted today with my find!
good tip for anyone metal detecting tie your boot laces six inch apart
Poke as much fun as you like? Cheers for the comment.
Danke.
Yeah, that would be great.
Awesome!
Muito bom o video, like
try a tooth brush to clean coins that way you will not scratch them
very nice
Mate no the wonder u don't find anything swinging your detector like that its supposed to be slow and cover as much ground as possible
Cheers!
Nice vid,read your book :)
Cheers.
get yourself a pro pointer.
That is what I use on most coins.
cut the music, please, especially since it blasts after the quieter beginning
a wood plane perhaps
get in that stream with a plastic calander or sieve
button collectors love these on ebay
do you want a pic?
5:01 aawwwww my ears!!! set the volume to 40:D
Nice
likewise... want a pic?
Many thanks.
I live in barnet :D
Done it.
Oxe shoe, not horse shoe.
How do you put a shoe on an Ox? They have cloven hoofs!
Look it up! They exist!
That depends on how sporty the Ox wants to look...could be a date night.
