Well now, it’s taken me nearly a week to watch this one & it made for lovely Friday evening viewing! Absolutely love those lead bits, proper display pieces Gaz!! Enjoyable as ever my dear friend!! Catch you soon x
Marcus! Ello mate thanks for dropping by and tuning in. I tried to be a bit clickbaity with this one, but it clearly didn't work haha. I've had about 15 of these bag seals now off this place, not sure what I'm going to do with them all, my display cannot hold all these. The landowner wants to see all the stuff I find over a beer or 2 so I may well donate most of this stuff to him to keep him sweet. Thanks as always for your visit and your time
Love the lead, nothing like that in the states. Very cool. All the bag seals. What a day, your pockets were heavy that day. Thanks for sharing. I am testing Version 2.0 now.
Hi, thanks for the channel visit and for taking time out your day to watch this video. This was definitely a unique session on a new piece of land. My finds pod was indeed very heavy, 2 more short hunts on this place have unearthed another 5 of the bag seals, a decorated lead spindle whorl and a massive lead musket ball. No more tokens though, but I suspect this entire site is laced with lead finds and I look forward to my next visit. Thanks again and I hope to see you again soon
Hi Nick, thanks for the great comments and for returning to my channel to check out my latest metal detecting expedition. I hope to see you again on my next episode, which I believe will be my Rodney Cook video
Nice haul there bud. Know what you mean when you clip something with the spade. I had a huge signal, blew my ears off on the my Nox reading 28 so knew it was probably a big copper. It was my best George III Penny ever dug, great detail and low and behold had just clipped it. That was after just getting buttons for 3 hours and on my way to the edge of the field to leave. Bit gutted as they usually come up toasted, as you well know. Oh well, onto the next, I am sure there will be others, hopefully as well preserved in the ground as this one. All the best and HH.
Hi mate, oh man I feel ya there, I could dig 100 George V pennies and not hit a single one of them, then dig a tiny silver coin and scrape it with my spade. It is just one of them things! I have started to take a little bit more time with pinpointing and always ensure I dig a big plug. It's at the end of the day when you start tiring you make mistakes n hit coins etc. Thanks as always for tuning in
Hi James, yes definitely an interesting permission and like no other I've ever detected. I had another 3 hours on here Sunday afternoon, very hot and humid, found a couple more of the seals and a beauty of a decorated spindle whorl. There must be hundreds of lead artefacts buried here waiting to be discovered. Thanks for tuning in
What a place... Lead heaven.. Those field tokens are very nice, but those bag seals look brand new!! I've found a hot spot in a field once, and found a load of bag seals.. but none in that condition. They're definitely ones for the cabinet 😊
Hi mate, thanks as always for tuning in. Them bag seals are definitely crisp and detailed, everytime I found one I got a little bit excited as they are not items I find very often. I was back there on Sunday and added 2 more to the collection and a beauty of a decorated spindle whorl. Expect to see a lot more visits to this location
@TheDukesOfDerbyshire oh, very nice. I'm glad you've got somewhere new to hunt... and with right potential. A decorated spindle whorl- of course!! Lol.. Well done mate. Keep up the good work 😀
Awesome finds! Some great detail on the seals. Hope you and family are well - I've still not had any rain yet but we've had thunder so it's getting closer 😀 Have a good week. T
Hi there, yes aren't those bag seals lovely and crisp? The tokens were pretty nice too. I have since found 5 more of the bag seals and a couple of other lead finds. Really interesting fields and I hope to be back there on Saturday, weather permitting!! Thanks I hope you are having a good week too. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Hey 🙂The details are amazing. Oh that's cool, something about the seals that intrigues me - where have they come from, what was made with the items they secured. Cool, I'll try send you some sun! Been a busy week here catching up with restocking the shop, had a little rain too Yay! Back to 35c now though lol. Enjoy the weekend. T 😎
Hi mate, yes very much a lead day. I was back there yesterday and found 6 coins in pretty quick succession. But I did find 3 more bag seals and had 2 more bag seals on Sunday. So that's 11 identical bag seals in 3 short visits. Crazy!! Thanks for tuning in and watching
Hi mate, I actually went mudlarking once, many years ago, it was a baking hot summer day. These bag seals are awesome, the detail is so crisp. Not really sure what I'm going to do with them all. Thanks for tuning in
Hi Gary, thanks so much for the appreciation, I am having so much fun with the drone seeing what I can capture and the never ending angles and possibilities. This permission is very new and in a totally new area, so it is really interesting for me unearthing the history and painting a picture of what used to happen here. Thanks again and hope to catch you on my next episode. G
Hi Stephen, yes what an interesting place to metal detect. I have since found 5 more of the bag seals, also a nice decorated spindle whorl and a big fat musket ball. I reckon if I spent a full day there, I'd leave with dozens of lead finds and maybe a hammered silver coin too. Expect to see many more films from this place. Hope you and the missus are having a great week. G
Good hunt there Gareth. At least the lead was found by someone who has a lead museum. They were cracking items and all in such great condition. Did I spy that the last buckle had some detail around the edge. You are going to have great fun on that permission. Well done mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Hi Andrew, thanks mate, haha yeah, unfortunately my lead museum is pretty packed out and will not be able to house the copious amount of lead finds that are coming up off this site. I have had 5 more bag seals and a decorated spindle whorl since from 2 short hunts here. I am hoping there will be some nice old silver coins somewhere or other, expect to see many more videos from this location over winter
Hi Chris, hahah lovin the Jaws quote there!! Yes I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all these bag seals, I will perhaps put 1 or 2 in my cabinet and maybe donate some to the landowner. This time in 6 months I could have a 50 or 60!! Thanks for tuning in
Some great finds, tones of lead artifacts, definitely a strange field with the amount of lead, being next to a massive mansion, hope you and the family are well, keep it up as always
Hi Sam goo dot hear from you, how are you doing? Definitely a strange and unique session this was, very excited to see what else I can find here. Weird how there is hardly any coins, but all these wonderful lead artefacts
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire yeah Im good thanks, back to college this week, as you said it's strange that there was barely any coins on there with the massive mansion, there has got to be some good finds there, them lead artifacts are always a good welcome though, keep it up
Hi John, thanks mate, definitely a strange one for me, never experienced anything like that before. Did a very sweaty 3 hours on here on Sunday just gone, 2 more bag seals and a very nice decorated spindle whorl. Can only imagine how many lead artefacts there will be buried there waiting to be discovered. Thanks as always for tuning in
Great videos as always Gareth haven't commented on your last 4 videos just cause of school and all but I've been watching them from start to finish every time 👍
Hi mate, thank you for all your support I really do appreciate it. It is always nice to receive comments and feedback, but don't go out of your way to leave comments. It takes me ages to reply to them all, its almost a full time job, but I insist on everyone getting a full reply from me. If people have the time for me and my channel, then I have the time for them too. Catch you on the next one. G
Ayup Troy, yes mate definitely a lead bonanza. I have done 2 more short hunts on these fields and found 5 more bag seals, a big musket ball and a beauty of a decorated spindle whorl. Plus 8 or 9 more coins. Silver seems to be scarce, but I will keep trying. I told the landowner I feel like there is something exciting hidden beneath the surface somewhere or other. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
I am a new subscriber and watcher of your channel, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your videos, they are so well put together and just so nice to watch. Keep it up 👍
Hi there, thanks so much for coming along to my channel, I love to receive messages like this. Having a bit of a tough time at the moment away from metal detecting.. So it makes me happy to see comments like this. Thank you for your kind words, my next project should hopefully be complete in the next few days. I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Thanks again. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire just remember that you have lots of people including myself always here to support you, no matter what you do. Take however long you need as being happy is the most important thing. I look forward to your new project, have a great evening, kind regards, Ben
@@Quibble1.1 thanks Ben, sometimes life can throw up really bad weeks, and I've had a couple in recent weeks. But on the other side now and back into the swing and rythem of things and back on my channel and back metal detecting again 🫡
Hi mate, yes definitely a great and interesting session. I was back here again on Sunday just gone for a couple of hours and found 2 more seals and a lovely spindle whorl. I am hoping to find some old silver coins here, one can wish :) Thanks for watching
Hi Lee, thanks very much for tuning in and watching this one. I think my previous best was 2 aswel. I had 2 more on my next visit and 3 more on the one after that, so expect to see lots more bag seals on the channel very soon haha
Hi there Len, it was great to meet you briefly at the Rodney Cook weekend. I went home Saturday evening as fields 4 and 8 were unavailable and they were the only 2 fields I wanted to detect. Apart from that it was a great event. Thanks for returning to my channel and seeing my latest episode. Expect to see more episodes from this location, an interesting new permission in a totally new area
Hi mate, yes it is very interesting seeing what comes up where. This is a completely new are for me, having detected here 4 or 5 times now I have a good understanding of what i can expect to find - lead !! But I find it really interesting that all these lead finds are here and I hope there will be some nice old silver coins here somewhere. It isn't my most scenic or biggest permission in the world, but expect to see many more episodes from here. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Hi mate, yes this was definitely a unique hunt for me to find all those seals and tokens. I returned to this location yesterday for 3 hours in very hot n sticky conditions. I managed to find 2 more seals and a beautiful spindle whorl. Landowner loves to see all the things I find, he finds it very interesting. Thanks for tuning in, more to come from this place
Long standing marketplace field I reckon... Also the nice half a buckle isn't georgian, it's a double loop spectacle buckle with floral borders 1550-1650, I've found a few whole examples, very nice buckles!
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. What do you mean by long standing marketplace field? I have had 2 more short hunts on there and found 5 more bag seals and a lovely decorated spindle whorl. No more tokens though. I find it fascinating that there is so many lead finds and not a lot of much else really. Thanks again for coming along and I hope to see you on my next episode. G
Hi mate, yes I remember you grabbing me at Rodney Cook, was great to meet you. Couple other guys collared me too to say hi, always cool to meet people who support my channel. Was a great event too, but disappointed field's 4 and 8 were shut, they were the only 2 fields I wanted to detect. I left on Saturday night. I had 3 hours yesterday afternoon back on these fields here and found a couple more seals and a few bits n pieces. it was very hot and sticky, but I stuck it out so I could capture another episode. Thanks as always for your support
Hi James, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch this video and for your input regarding Cole Brothers. Love a bit of local history!! Expect to see many more episodes from this location, thanks again. G
Hi there mate, thank you for your kind words again, always appreciate your nice feedback. Definitely a strange day that was, normally find 2-4 bag seals a year, so to find 6 in one day was nuts!! I found another 2 here on Sunday and a nice example of a decorated spindle whorl. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. G
Hi mate, thanks, wonder why you don't find them down your way, probs cuz Cornwall is posher and richer area (back then). Derbyshire is poor peoples land and also lots of lead mining so I expect to find a lot more lead artefacts here
What a very strange lead day, and those medieval field tokens are absolute belters mate, I don't think I have ever found one as large as the big one. That permission will have so many good finds on it including plenty of hammered and it will take you years to cover it. Excellent video and I do like to see some interesting lead artifacts.
Hi mate, yes this piece of land is very interesting with all these lovely lead artefacts coming up. Not sure about plenty of hammered though, I've racked up about 15 hours on that permission and only managed to find one piece of silver - a KG5 sixpence. I hope to hit some deeper targets when winter comes along, shorter grass and damper soil. Thanks for tuning in
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire When you go back sometime, try using Relic mode with disc IAR and the 13" coil it may get a bit deeper, anything would help you because I think the old stuff will be just a bit deeper than you are getting at the moment. You may end up digging more shit and some iron, but as a experiment it would be worth it to see if you could winkle some deeper stuff out. Good luck and may the finds Gods be with you.
@@disabledadventures4115 I considered trying that yesterday or using Deep HC. Sensi FT was not punching very deep yesterday. You'll see a startling deep signal comparison coming up. Big copper coin about 10 inch, Sensi FT barely pickin up, Deep HC and Relic knocked it out the park!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire We tend to use Deep HC all the time and sometimes Relic with disc IAR, we have noticed when swapping between programs to compare signal that sensitive ft is very week on the deep stuff.
@@disabledadventures4115 yes it is weak, but it still hits them. But I expect you aquire more targets with Deep HC and Relic. I should be using deeper settings to be honest as I only detect pasture and this is where the deep targets are found
Hi mate, thanks for watching another of my videos. Yes this permission is very interesting and unique and seems to be rammed with lead artefacts. Looking forward to my next visit. Hope to see you on my next episode
Hi mate great to hear from you, I do indeed love my lead bits n pieces, n my house is probably toxic with the amount of the stuff I've got in my cabinet haha. I not forgot about your package mate, I've got a few things to post out and I will be doing it SOOOOOON
Hi there, thanks for tuning in and watching my latest metal detecting outing. I must say it was a very unique session finding all those lead artefacts. I was back here on Sunday and found another 2 bag seals and a lovely decorated spindle whorl. This place seems to be loaded with lead finds and I can't wait to do some mid winter sessions here
Hi mate , well i dont think i have seen so many good lead finds come up in one session and in such good condition to i think that land holds some nice secrets just waiting to be found when you have more time to spend there , and the curtain advertisement you found is a nice bit of history they were registered at premises in Barkers Pool in the center of Sheffield near the city hall , nice video pal ATB Rob 👍
Ayup mate good to hear from you. Yes in 10 years metal detecting this is definitely the first day I've had like this. I have had 2 more short hunts on here and found 5 more of the bag seals and a lovely decorated spindle whorl. I have high hopes there could be some hammered silver coins on there somewhere. Hoping for another visit on Saturday morning, now that autumn is here, its really nice time of year to be out metal detecting. Seen you have a new upload, watched half of it this morning before work. Will watch the rest later, but it looked like it was filmed last Sunday?? I too went detecting that day and it was awfully hot n humid, worst conditions I've ever faced I reckon!!
Ayup Gary, how ya doin buddy? Aye no silver again, but I very much enjoyed finding that hot spot with all those bag seals. I was back on here again yesterday and found 2 more seals and a spindle whorl. Very odd how there's hardly any coins, but its loaded with lead finds. Catch you on the next one dude
Hi mate, yeah few people have popped up in the comments who have also found one of these seals. I was back there yesterday for a very sweaty 3 hours and found 2 more, including 1 on a different field. So it's quite possible there will be loads on there. In great condition too! Certainly an interesting piece of land
Hi mate, thank you for tuning in to another of my episodes and for the kind words. No worries at all, I did bump into a few people to say hello and was there Friday night and most of Saturday evening. The only 2 fields I wanted to metal detect (4 & 8) were both cancelled so I went home sulking on Saturday night, got home about midnight!!
Hi Jeff, wow, 13 in 1 day is awesome!! How many did you find in total over all the times you detected that permission? I have found 5 more of these bag seals, so have found 11 in total so far form 3 very short hunts. Thanks for tuning in and taking time out your day to watch. G
@TheDukesOfDerbyshire . Myself and my wife have a local permission of 1 10 acre field. Found a hotspot where the bagseals have come up. I think I've found at least 20 of 1 type and small round 0nes also. Not been there for a while. 18 carat gold ring with diamond dated 1866 . Georgian/Victorian coins and usual others. Oh and local pub tokens . It's all local History which is what it's all about Gareth. 👍
@@jeffreynicholas9913 awesome, now that gold ring sounds like a dream find for me, my top bucketlister!! 10 years and still haven't found a single gold ring. We keep lookin 😄
@@jeffreynicholas9913 I know, its good to have this target and goal which motivates me to keep getting out there. If we don't have a bucket list then there's no point goin right 😄
Never seen so many lead seals or tokens in one field,there must have been some muck spreading over the years.Having said that the ground must have been farmed for decades before being returned to grass.There must be medieval coins somewhere on that permission.Good luck.
Hi Dave, pretty crazy isn't it?! I have had 2 more short hunts on this site, found 5 more of the bag seals, aswel as a giant musket ball and beautiful decorated spindle whorl. No more tokens though. No hammered coins yet, but I can assure you I will keep looking as I too believe there should be some there. I feel like there might be a gold ring on there too somewhere, a nice old one. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Hi Olly, thanks for the visit and for taking time out your day to watch. This was definitely a weird and unique session, I have since been back for 2 more short hunts and found 5 more bag seals, a decorated spindle whorl and a massive musket ball. No more tokens though! But, this is a new permission in a new area so expect to see many more videos from this location and I expect a whole load more lead finds. Heaven knows what I am going to do with them all though!!
Hi guys, yes I think I've had 5 visits on this permission and only found 1 piece of silver - a George V sixpence. But finding all this old lead is very interesting and the landowner is so interested too. I clean the finds, photo and send to the landowner and explain what stuff is. He loves it. Thanks for the visit and for watching
Ayup Shawn thanks mate yes I am hoping there could be something epic here. I need to get on here mid winter when the ground is damp and the grass is like velvet. I'm quite sure there will be a few silver hammered lurking under the turf on this permission. Maybe that elusive gold ring too !!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire there’s got to be bud if your pulling up farm tokens then there’s sure to be silver on there ,best of luck and I will look forward to the next adventure of yours 👍
@@shawncarpenter1289 cheers mate. Got 5 days annual leave left this year, its rained ALL day here and give beautiful weather tomorrow so I've booked it off to go detecting 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hi Gareth. A lot of the early hobby metal detectors were not that sensitive to lead finds. Perhaps somebody has been over your field in the 70s and recovered some of the copper and silver finds but missed most of the lead? Anyway I am sure there is lots more for you to find on this site with your machine, good luck.
Hi John, thanks very much for watching this video and for offering your thoughts. You have a very good assessment there of which I kinda agree with you. Perhaps most of the easy targets and the high conductor targets have been found already, leaving only the lower conductors? Hopefully they left the gold haha. I was here again on Saturday and I actually found 9 copper coins.. Thanks as always for tuning in
Hi mate, thanks for the kind words, it pleases me to know that people like my style of content that I upload, which is a bit different from all the other channels out there. A lot of work and effort goes into each one of these little projects :) I've found 5 more of these bag seals after 2 more short hunts there plus a decorated spindle whorl and a large musket ball. Must be 100's of lead artefacts waiting to be discovered there. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire love the cutscenes/cinematics, mint drone shots. Top quality footage. Can’t get no better then watching someone local unearthing local history nice one mate love it!😊😊
Hi mate, just looked at your channel, seems you are a VAG man. I have a Leon Cupra, sometimes features in my videos. I love the car, but it costs me a fortune in petrol and I'm constantly paranoid about it in supermarket car parks etc. Thinking of trading it in for an old FR estate that I won't care about
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Hi Gareth, yes I'm a big vag man lol I have owned Mike for 11years now. It made 258hp and 320ftlb I was thinking about getting another car. Something more child friendly. I have my 3 year old living with me all the time now. Still going solid and she just turned over onto 130k last week. I bought it with 50k on it. I drive slowly in 1st and 2nd otherwise it snaps drive shafts for fun lol 😆
Hi there buddy, thanks for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. These fields are nicknamed the lead artefact fields and for good reason, I cannot stop finding lead artefacts here haha. I hope to see you again on my channel soon, have a great week. Gareth
Hi mate, yeah it sure is a decent little spot, only been a couple of times, but I bet there's tonnes of lead artefacts waiting to be discovered here. Can't wait for some mid winter trips here
Hi mate, thanks for stopping by and seeing what I have been up to in my latest metal detecting film. Definitely an interesting one with all those lead artefacts. Expect to see many more adventures from this location
Hi James, thank you very much for the kind words, much appreciated. Thanks for taking time out your day to watch and support what I do and I hope to see you on my next episode. G
Hi John, I really don't know what to think as its a first for me. I normally find 2 or 3 bag seals a year, and usually always different. I have been back on this field and found 2 more, so that is 8 in total. I suspect I will find many more there over the coming months, and will not know what to do with them all. Thanks for coming along as always
Hi mate, yes the lead tokens are cool, as are the bag seals. I suspect there will be a lot more of both buried under the turf on these fields. Expect many more visits from this location. Thanks for tuning in
Hi mate, I find it awesome to know that none detectorists are watching the videos that I upload. I hope you keep finding them hot wheels, who knows, maybe next time your digging your potatoes out, you'll find a gold ring! Something I have been unable to find in nearly 10 years of metal detecting haha
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. Wow you found 16 bag seals in 1 day? Were they all the same? Thanks again and I hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos
Hi there, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and watching this video. So these lead tokens were used by farmers to pay workers. The workers could then spend them in local shops. They were a low form denomination at a time when coins were in short supply. Hard to date, but I imagine around 500 years old. Really cool and really interesting. Thanks again and I hope to see you again on my channel
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Thanks for your reaction, appreciate it. Nice to know the context of these finds. Hope you have a good and enjoyable hunt next time as well!

Your videos have a high quality of production. I like that you edit out your foul language and show target sounds before digging them, it's a standard over and above others. I think you're nuts for not wearing gloves though!
Hi Steven, thanks so much for visiting my channel today and for taking time out to watch this video, I really appreciate it. My channel is definitely family friendly, and on the occasion a swear word does slip out, I will always beep it out. I like to show the signals so that fellow detectorists and XP users in particular can learn the types of signals to look out for and what not to dig etc. Every time I go metal detecting, I use and operate a camera around 200 times, doing this with gloves on is not possible. So it just saves me heaps and heaps of time. I do understand it is safe practice to wear gloves though. I try to use the tip of my spade for any poking around in the hole or clod. When its very cold though I will don the gloves. Thanks again for your kind words, I very much hope to see you again on my channel. Have a great weekend. Gareth ps - You won't get replies like this from others either :)
Hi Andy, do you think so? I was hoping there could be a possibility of finding some silver hammered coins on these fields, but none have come up yet after about 15 hours total detecting time. Thanks for the channel visit and for taking time out your day to watch this episode. G
Hi there, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch this video. I do indeed keep all my coins and finds and to make a video like this has been something I keep meaning to do. maybe on a rainy winter weekend I will put something together :) Thanks again and I hope to see you again
Hello there Jillian great to hear from you, thanks for sticking around and supporting my channel still. Hope you are doin OK and I hope to see you on my next episode :)
Hi mate, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and watching this video. yes of course, so these lead tokens would have been paid to farm workers. They can then spend them probably at the farm or other local traders. They were used instead of small denomination coins during times when coins / silver was in short supply. Hard to date, but most likely medieval period. Hope this helps, and thanks again
Hi thanks for explaining them and that is awesome I love history and to think that last person who may have held the was from medieval times God Bless and happy dirt fishing
Hi there, thanks for visiting my channel and taking time from your day to watch this video. Also, thanks for the heads up on Barkers Pool. Sheffield is quite local to me. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode
Hi mate, thanks as always for coming along and supporting what I do. These lead tokens were paid to farm workers and they could spend them in local shops etc. Basically a form of currency during a shortage of lower denomination coins. They are super interesting to find and usually quite rare for me to find
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire thank you for the explanation. It’s very interesting. If I would’ve thought for awhile I might have figured it out. But thanks again. We have tokens here from the fields that were used in the same way.
Hello, thanks so much for visiting my channel this week and taking time out your day to watch this video. Yes of course, so I placed some hot water in a bowl, placed the seals and tokens into the bowl and left to soak all day. I then took them out and rinsed them under the cold water tap and gently brushed them with a soft brush. Hope this helps and I hope to see you again on my channel very soon. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Thank you very much, I will try the method, because I see that it is very effective. I will definitely follow your channel... I've been doing it for a long time. Greetings and thanks
Haha, well I think its actually on the market for about £2.5 million. It's a very nice house and when there are new owners, I might just ask if I can detect the back gardens / orchard. Thanks very much for watching, hope to see you again. Gareth
Hello, getting permission is the hardest part of the hobby, and due to the increasing amount of groups criminally taking over the land, it is getting even harder!! Only way to get permissions is by knockin on doors, dress smart and try to come across as a nice guy and a trustworthy guy. Once you get that first permission, you build a bond with the landowner and then he puts you in touch with neighbouring farms and you start getting more and more permissions. The better you get at sweet talking and the more confidence you get the better. Good luck out there, thanks for watching
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Trouble is I can never find any farm houses on the maps to go with the land. It seems there’s acres of land and no premises or farm nearby 🤷
You took the Lead on this one Gareth. Well done buddy. Exciting location too. Great potential. Bumped into the love of my life at Detectival. Ash 😄. I was only trying to make you jealous and it worked by the sounds of it 😆. Will you be screen-shotting this comment lol. Catch you on the next 🫡
Hahaha nahh man I won't be screenshotting this, but I'll mention it to him. He's pretty much packed up detecting and his channel now. You need to get on at him and order him to sort himself out!! Definite potential on this piece of land and I'm well in with the landowner at the moment, and his wife who walks down with their dogs. Hope all is well mate, I am 100% going to do at least 1 Detectival next year

Marcus! Ello mate thanks for dropping by and tuning in. I tried to be a bit clickbaity with this one, but it clearly didn't work haha. I've had about 15 of these bag seals now off this place, not sure what I'm going to do with them all, my display cannot hold all these. The landowner wants to see all the stuff I find over a beer or 2 so I may well donate most of this stuff to him to keep him sweet. Thanks as always for your visit and your time
Love the lead, nothing like that in the states. Very cool. All the bag seals. What a day, your pockets were heavy that day. Thanks for sharing. I am testing Version 2.0 now.
Hi, thanks for the channel visit and for taking time out your day to watch this video. This was definitely a unique session on a new piece of land. My finds pod was indeed very heavy, 2 more short hunts on this place have unearthed another 5 of the bag seals, a decorated lead spindle whorl and a massive lead musket ball. No more tokens though, but I suspect this entire site is laced with lead finds and I look forward to my next visit. Thanks again and I hope to see you again soon
Great permission, super finds, lovely video. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nick, thanks for the great comments and for returning to my channel to check out my latest metal detecting expedition. I hope to see you again on my next episode, which I believe will be my Rodney Cook video
Nice haul there bud. Know what you mean when you clip something with the spade. I had a huge signal, blew my ears off on the my Nox reading 28 so knew it was probably a big copper. It was my best George III Penny ever dug, great detail and low and behold had just clipped it. That was after just getting buttons for 3 hours and on my way to the edge of the field to leave. Bit gutted as they usually come up toasted, as you well know. Oh well, onto the next, I am sure there will be others, hopefully as well preserved in the ground as this one. All the best and HH.
Hi mate, oh man I feel ya there, I could dig 100 George V pennies and not hit a single one of them, then dig a tiny silver coin and scrape it with my spade. It is just one of them things! I have started to take a little bit more time with pinpointing and always ensure I dig a big plug. It's at the end of the day when you start tiring you make mistakes n hit coins etc. Thanks as always for tuning in
cracking bag seals and medieval token this ground is looking good thanks again Gareth cheers
Hi James, yes definitely an interesting permission and like no other I've ever detected. I had another 3 hours on here Sunday afternoon, very hot and humid, found a couple more of the seals and a beauty of a decorated spindle whorl. There must be hundreds of lead artefacts buried here waiting to be discovered. Thanks for tuning in
What a place... Lead heaven..
Those field tokens are very nice, but those bag seals look brand new!! I've found a hot spot in a field once, and found a load of bag seals.. but none in that condition. They're definitely ones for the cabinet 😊
Hi mate, thanks as always for tuning in. Them bag seals are definitely crisp and detailed, everytime I found one I got a little bit excited as they are not items I find very often. I was back there on Sunday and added 2 more to the collection and a beauty of a decorated spindle whorl. Expect to see a lot more visits to this location
@TheDukesOfDerbyshire oh, very nice.
I'm glad you've got somewhere new to hunt... and with right potential.
A decorated spindle whorl- of course!! Lol..
Well done mate.
Keep up the good work 😀
Awesome finds! Some great detail on the seals. Hope you and family are well - I've still not had any rain yet but we've had thunder so it's getting closer 😀 Have a good week. T
Hi there, yes aren't those bag seals lovely and crisp? The tokens were pretty nice too. I have since found 5 more of the bag seals and a couple of other lead finds. Really interesting fields and I hope to be back there on Saturday, weather permitting!! Thanks I hope you are having a good week too. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Hey 🙂The details are amazing. Oh that's cool, something about the seals that intrigues me - where have they come from, what was made with the items they secured. Cool, I'll try send you some sun! Been a busy week here catching up with restocking the shop, had a little rain too Yay! Back to 35c now though lol. Enjoy the weekend. T 😎
Gotta love a good lead day 👌🏻
Lovely permission, reminds me of my first field.
Hi mate, yes very much a lead day. I was back there yesterday and found 6 coins in pretty quick succession. But I did find 3 more bag seals and had 2 more bag seals on Sunday. So that's 11 identical bag seals in 3 short visits. Crazy!! Thanks for tuning in and watching
Great haul of lead there 😎 those bag seals litter the foreshores of the Thames in London
Hi mate, I actually went mudlarking once, many years ago, it was a baking hot summer day. These bag seals are awesome, the detail is so crisp. Not really sure what I'm going to do with them all. Thanks for tuning in
Love the seals, and tokens,, drone shots,, incredible hunt and area to spend time exploring the possibilities.
Hi Gary, thanks so much for the appreciation, I am having so much fun with the drone seeing what I can capture and the never ending angles and possibilities. This permission is very new and in a totally new area, so it is really interesting for me unearthing the history and painting a picture of what used to happen here. Thanks again and hope to catch you on my next episode. G
Medieval baby 😊 lovely lead finds for the cabinet and the bag seals are the best I've seen 👍
Hi Stephen, yes what an interesting place to metal detect. I have since found 5 more of the bag seals, also a nice decorated spindle whorl and a big fat musket ball. I reckon if I spent a full day there, I'd leave with dozens of lead finds and maybe a hammered silver coin too. Expect to see many more films from this place. Hope you and the missus are having a great week. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Cheers Gareth 👍
Good hunt there Gareth. At least the lead was found by someone who has a lead museum. They were cracking items and all in such great condition. Did I spy that the last buckle had some detail around the edge. You are going to have great fun on that permission. Well done mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Hi Andrew, thanks mate, haha yeah, unfortunately my lead museum is pretty packed out and will not be able to house the copious amount of lead finds that are coming up off this site. I have had 5 more bag seals and a decorated spindle whorl since from 2 short hunts here. I am hoping there will be some nice old silver coins somewhere or other, expect to see many more videos from this location over winter
"You're gonna need a bigger display cabinet"
Got to be some milled silver and a couple of hammies in there somewhere
Hi Chris, hahah lovin the Jaws quote there!! Yes I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all these bag seals, I will perhaps put 1 or 2 in my cabinet and maybe donate some to the landowner. This time in 6 months I could have a 50 or 60!! Thanks for tuning in
Some great finds, tones of lead artifacts, definitely a strange field with the amount of lead, being next to a massive mansion, hope you and the family are well, keep it up as always
Hi Sam goo dot hear from you, how are you doing? Definitely a strange and unique session this was, very excited to see what else I can find here. Weird how there is hardly any coins, but all these wonderful lead artefacts
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire yeah Im good thanks, back to college this week, as you said it's strange that there was barely any coins on there with the massive mansion, there has got to be some good finds there, them lead artifacts are always a good welcome though, keep it up
@@sammiles849 got to be a gold ring surely 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire surely 🤣💍
Brilliant lead items Gareth. What an amazing dig! Cheers M8, John.
Hi John, thanks mate, definitely a strange one for me, never experienced anything like that before. Did a very sweaty 3 hours on here on Sunday just gone, 2 more bag seals and a very nice decorated spindle whorl. Can only imagine how many lead artefacts there will be buried there waiting to be discovered. Thanks as always for tuning in
Great videos as always Gareth haven't commented on your last 4 videos just cause of school and all but I've been watching them from start to finish every time 👍
Hi mate, thank you for all your support I really do appreciate it. It is always nice to receive comments and feedback, but don't go out of your way to leave comments. It takes me ages to reply to them all, its almost a full time job, but I insist on everyone getting a full reply from me. If people have the time for me and my channel, then I have the time for them too. Catch you on the next one. G
Great video Gareth ! Bag seal bonanza there mate! I really liked the field tokens too... those fields definitely have potential!All the best.
Ayup Troy, yes mate definitely a lead bonanza. I have done 2 more short hunts on these fields and found 5 more bag seals, a big musket ball and a beauty of a decorated spindle whorl. Plus 8 or 9 more coins. Silver seems to be scarce, but I will keep trying. I told the landowner I feel like there is something exciting hidden beneath the surface somewhere or other. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
I am a new subscriber and watcher of your channel, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your videos, they are so well put together and just so nice to watch. Keep it up 👍
Hi there, thanks so much for coming along to my channel, I love to receive messages like this. Having a bit of a tough time at the moment away from metal detecting.. So it makes me happy to see comments like this. Thank you for your kind words, my next project should hopefully be complete in the next few days. I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Thanks again. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire just remember that you have lots of people including myself always here to support you, no matter what you do. Take however long you need as being happy is the most important thing. I look forward to your new project, have a great evening, kind regards, Ben

Hi mate, yes definitely a great and interesting session. I was back here again on Sunday just gone for a couple of hours and found 2 more seals and a lovely spindle whorl. I am hoping to find some old silver coins here, one can wish :) Thanks for watching
Banging session on the fields. Only ever found 2 in a day. In 12 years
Hi Lee, thanks very much for tuning in and watching this one. I think my previous best was 2 aswel. I had 2 more on my next visit and 3 more on the one after that, so expect to see lots more bag seals on the channel very soon haha
Another good vid with some nice finds, also nice to meet you at RC, regards Len
Hi there Len, it was great to meet you briefly at the Rodney Cook weekend. I went home Saturday evening as fields 4 and 8 were unavailable and they were the only 2 fields I wanted to detect. Apart from that it was a great event. Thanks for returning to my channel and seeing my latest episode. Expect to see more episodes from this location, an interesting new permission in a totally new area
Lovely to see how different days can be when detecting. You'll have to hammer that permission G, soo interesting!!! Those field tokens are brilliant!!
Hi mate, yes it is very interesting seeing what comes up where. This is a completely new are for me, having detected here 4 or 5 times now I have a good understanding of what i can expect to find - lead !! But I find it really interesting that all these lead finds are here and I hope there will be some nice old silver coins here somewhere. It isn't my most scenic or biggest permission in the world, but expect to see many more episodes from here. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Wow never seen that before tokens bale seals so many in one hunt great location 😮
Hi mate, yes this was definitely a unique hunt for me to find all those seals and tokens. I returned to this location yesterday for 3 hours in very hot n sticky conditions. I managed to find 2 more seals and a beautiful spindle whorl. Landowner loves to see all the things I find, he finds it very interesting. Thanks for tuning in, more to come from this place
Long standing marketplace field I reckon... Also the nice half a buckle isn't georgian, it's a double loop spectacle buckle with floral borders 1550-1650, I've found a few whole examples, very nice buckles!
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. What do you mean by long standing marketplace field? I have had 2 more short hunts on there and found 5 more bag seals and a lovely decorated spindle whorl. No more tokens though. I find it fascinating that there is so many lead finds and not a lot of much else really. Thanks again for coming along and I hope to see you on my next episode. G
Great video Gareth lead tokens bag seals buckles plenty mor there was good to see you at RCM take care
Hi mate, yes I remember you grabbing me at Rodney Cook, was great to meet you. Couple other guys collared me too to say hi, always cool to meet people who support my channel. Was a great event too, but disappointed field's 4 and 8 were shut, they were the only 2 fields I wanted to detect. I left on Saturday night.
I had 3 hours yesterday afternoon back on these fields here and found a couple more seals and a few bits n pieces. it was very hot and sticky, but I stuck it out so I could capture another episode. Thanks as always for your support
Sheffield department store Is Cole Brothers based on Barkers Pool. Across from the city hall. To my knowledge the badge is more modern than it looks.
Hi James, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch this video and for your input regarding Cole Brothers. Love a bit of local history!! Expect to see many more episodes from this location, thanks again. G
Another great upload buddy. Really well made. Crazy amount of lead seals & tokens. Bless up 👊
Hi there mate, thank you for your kind words again, always appreciate your nice feedback. Definitely a strange day that was, normally find 2-4 bag seals a year, so to find 6 in one day was nuts!! I found another 2 here on Sunday and a nice example of a decorated spindle whorl. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. G
Fantastic session mate I know how much you love your lead! I've never found a lead field token it's on my bucket list.
Hi mate, thanks, wonder why you don't find them down your way, probs cuz Cornwall is posher and richer area (back then). Derbyshire is poor peoples land and also lots of lead mining so I expect to find a lot more lead artefacts here
What a very strange lead day, and those medieval field tokens are absolute belters mate, I don't think I have ever found one as large as the big one. That permission will have so many good finds on it including plenty of hammered and it will take you years to cover it. Excellent video and I do like to see some interesting lead artifacts.
Hi mate, yes this piece of land is very interesting with all these lovely lead artefacts coming up. Not sure about plenty of hammered though, I've racked up about 15 hours on that permission and only managed to find one piece of silver - a KG5 sixpence. I hope to hit some deeper targets when winter comes along, shorter grass and damper soil. Thanks for tuning in
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire When you go back sometime, try using Relic mode with disc IAR and the 13" coil it may get a bit deeper, anything would help you because I think the old stuff will be just a bit deeper than you are getting at the moment. You may end up digging more shit and some iron, but as a experiment it would be worth it to see if you could winkle some deeper stuff out. Good luck and may the finds Gods be with you.
@@disabledadventures4115 I considered trying that yesterday or using Deep HC. Sensi FT was not punching very deep yesterday. You'll see a startling deep signal comparison coming up. Big copper coin about 10 inch, Sensi FT barely pickin up, Deep HC and Relic knocked it out the park!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire We tend to use Deep HC all the time and sometimes Relic with disc IAR, we have noticed when swapping between programs to compare signal that sensitive ft is very week on the deep stuff.
@@disabledadventures4115 yes it is weak, but it still hits them. But I expect you aquire more targets with Deep HC and Relic. I should be using deeper settings to be honest as I only detect pasture and this is where the deep targets are found
Nice one Gareth , thanks for that. A lotta lead there 😆🤷♂️
Hi mate, thanks for watching another of my videos. Yes this permission is very interesting and unique and seems to be rammed with lead artefacts. Looking forward to my next visit. Hope to see you on my next episode
Smashed it mate I know how much you love your lead artefacts 😊 bag seals were in crisp condition nice one mate 🙂👍⛏🍺
Hi mate great to hear from you, I do indeed love my lead bits n pieces, n my house is probably toxic with the amount of the stuff I've got in my cabinet haha. I not forgot about your package mate, I've got a few things to post out and I will be doing it SOOOOOON
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire cheers mate 😀👍⛏🍺
Wooh those lead bits and bobs were amazing 🪙 hope you’re having a great time away!
Hi there, thanks for tuning in and watching my latest metal detecting outing. I must say it was a very unique session finding all those lead artefacts. I was back here on Sunday and found another 2 bag seals and a lovely decorated spindle whorl. This place seems to be loaded with lead finds and I can't wait to do some mid winter sessions here
Hi mate , well i dont think i have seen so many good lead finds come up in one session and in such good condition to i think that land holds some nice secrets just waiting to be found when you have more time to spend there , and the curtain advertisement you found is a nice bit of history they were registered at premises in Barkers Pool in the center of Sheffield near the city hall , nice video pal ATB Rob 👍
Ayup mate good to hear from you. Yes in 10 years metal detecting this is definitely the first day I've had like this. I have had 2 more short hunts on here and found 5 more of the bag seals and a lovely decorated spindle whorl. I have high hopes there could be some hammered silver coins on there somewhere. Hoping for another visit on Saturday morning, now that autumn is here, its really nice time of year to be out metal detecting. Seen you have a new upload, watched half of it this morning before work. Will watch the rest later, but it looked like it was filmed last Sunday?? I too went detecting that day and it was awfully hot n humid, worst conditions I've ever faced I reckon!!
Some interesting finds, another Fabulous episode ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ayup Gary, how ya doin buddy? Aye no silver again, but I very much enjoyed finding that hot spot with all those bag seals. I was back on here again yesterday and found 2 more seals and a spindle whorl. Very odd how there's hardly any coins, but its loaded with lead finds. Catch you on the next one dude
I have a few of the proctor & Ryland seals mate love them never had a medieval token like those yet tho!😂 great days digging bud
Hi mate, yeah few people have popped up in the comments who have also found one of these seals. I was back there yesterday for a very sweaty 3 hours and found 2 more, including 1 on a different field. So it's quite possible there will be loads on there. In great condition too! Certainly an interesting piece of land
Another cracking video Gareth, sorry i missed you at RCM. Perhaps next time mate 👍 good luck.
Hi mate, thank you for tuning in to another of my episodes and for the kind words. No worries at all, I did bump into a few people to say hello and was there Friday night and most of Saturday evening. The only 2 fields I wanted to metal detect (4 & 8) were both cancelled so I went home sulking on Saturday night, got home about midnight!!
The most bag seals I've found in 1 day are 13.
They are all the same type.
All pear shape.
All Victorian in date.
Great video Gareth. 👍
Hi Jeff, wow, 13 in 1 day is awesome!! How many did you find in total over all the times you detected that permission? I have found 5 more of these bag seals, so have found 11 in total so far form 3 very short hunts. Thanks for tuning in and taking time out your day to watch. G
@TheDukesOfDerbyshire .
Myself and my wife have a local permission of 1 10 acre field.
Found a hotspot where the bagseals have come up.
I think I've found at least 20 of 1 type and small round 0nes also. Not been there for a while.
18 carat gold ring with diamond dated 1866 .
Georgian/Victorian coins and usual others.
Oh and local pub tokens .
It's all local History which is what it's all about Gareth. 👍
@@jeffreynicholas9913 awesome, now that gold ring sounds like a dream find for me, my top bucketlister!! 10 years and still haven't found a single gold ring. We keep lookin 😄
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire.
It was a complete surprise with the ring.
Your time will come mark my words. 👍
@@jeffreynicholas9913 I know, its good to have this target and goal which motivates me to keep getting out there. If we don't have a bucket list then there's no point goin right 😄
Never seen so many lead seals or tokens in one field,there must have been some muck spreading over the years.Having said that the ground must have been farmed for decades before being returned to grass.There must be medieval coins somewhere on that permission.Good luck.
Hi Dave, pretty crazy isn't it?! I have had 2 more short hunts on this site, found 5 more of the bag seals, aswel as a giant musket ball and beautiful decorated spindle whorl. No more tokens though. No hammered coins yet, but I can assure you I will keep looking as I too believe there should be some there. I feel like there might be a gold ring on there too somewhere, a nice old one. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Really enjoyed this one mate.. can’t help wondering how all those lead tokens came to be concentrated in one area.. great job mate, all the best.
Hi Olly, thanks for the visit and for taking time out your day to watch. This was definitely a weird and unique session, I have since been back for 2 more short hunts and found 5 more bag seals, a decorated spindle whorl and a massive musket ball. No more tokens though! But, this is a new permission in a new area so expect to see many more videos from this location and I expect a whole load more lead finds. Heaven knows what I am going to do with them all though!!
Tokens galore, looks a really nice permission Gareth, surely it has to be hiding some silver for you, stay lucky 🍀
Hi guys, yes I think I've had 5 visits on this permission and only found 1 piece of silver - a George V sixpence. But finding all this old lead is very interesting and the landowner is so interested too. I clean the finds, photo and send to the landowner and explain what stuff is. He loves it. Thanks for the visit and for watching
Top video as always bud some cracking finds there them buckles look interesting got to be epic stuff on that permission 😉🤙
Ayup Shawn thanks mate yes I am hoping there could be something epic here. I need to get on here mid winter when the ground is damp and the grass is like velvet. I'm quite sure there will be a few silver hammered lurking under the turf on this permission. Maybe that elusive gold ring too !!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire there’s got to be bud if your pulling up farm tokens then there’s sure to be silver on there ,best of luck and I will look forward to the next adventure of yours 👍
@@shawncarpenter1289 cheers mate. Got 5 days annual leave left this year, its rained ALL day here and give beautiful weather tomorrow so I've booked it off to go detecting 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hi Gareth. A lot of the early hobby metal detectors were not that sensitive to lead finds. Perhaps somebody has been over your field in the 70s and recovered some of the copper and silver finds but missed most of the lead? Anyway I am sure there is lots more for you to find on this site with your machine, good luck.
Hi John, thanks very much for watching this video and for offering your thoughts. You have a very good assessment there of which I kinda agree with you. Perhaps most of the easy targets and the high conductor targets have been found already, leaving only the lower conductors? Hopefully they left the gold haha. I was here again on Saturday and I actually found 9 copper coins.. Thanks as always for tuning in
Lovely video as always! I also have found quite a few of the same manure man tokens! Catch you on the next one😎
Hi mate, thanks for the kind words, it pleases me to know that people like my style of content that I upload, which is a bit different from all the other channels out there. A lot of work and effort goes into each one of these little projects :) I've found 5 more of these bag seals after 2 more short hunts there plus a decorated spindle whorl and a large musket ball.

So true and I liked your comment
Hi John, I really don't know what to think as its a first for me. I normally find 2 or 3 bag seals a year, and usually always different. I have been back on this field and found 2 more, so that is 8 in total. I suspect I will find many more there over the coming months, and will not know what to do with them all. Thanks for coming along as always
Hi Sarah, shout out to you too, thanks very much for watching :)

@@historyhuntersuk8972 that's awesome
Nice video and finds! What was the purpose of those lead field tokens?
Hi there, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and watching this video. So these lead tokens were used by farmers to pay workers. The workers could then spend them in local shops. They were a low form denomination at a time when coins were in short supply. Hard to date, but I imagine around 500 years old. Really cool and really interesting. Thanks again and I hope to see you again on my channel

A good amount of bag seals, did you find out anything about the company that made them.
Hi there, thanks very much for tuning in and watching this very unique episode. This is what I found out about the company:
Proctor & Ryland Bag Seal, Image & Found by Aleksandr.

Your videos have a high quality of production. I like that you edit out your foul language and show target sounds before digging them, it's a standard over and above others. I think you're nuts for not wearing gloves though!
Hi Steven, thanks so much for visiting my channel today and for taking time out to watch this video, I really appreciate it. My channel is definitely family friendly, and on the occasion a swear word does slip out, I will always beep it out. I like to show the signals so that fellow detectorists and XP users in particular can learn the types of signals to look out for and what not to dig etc. Every time I go metal detecting, I use and operate a camera around 200 times, doing this with gloves on is not possible. So it just saves me heaps and heaps of time. I do understand it is safe practice to wear gloves though. I try to use the tip of my spade for any poking around in the hole or clod. When its very cold though I will don the gloves. Thanks again for your kind words, I very much hope to see you again on my channel. Have a great weekend. Gareth ps - You won't get replies like this from others either :)
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshireGreat stuff, keep up the good work 👏
@@stevenhall7659 will do, thanks very much for the support. Lots and lots to come on the channel - never enough hours in a day though
Maybe had a farmers market on there Gareth
Hi Andy, do you think so? I was hoping there could be a possibility of finding some silver hammered coins on these fields, but none have come up yet after about 15 hours total detecting time. Thanks for the channel visit and for taking time out your day to watch this episode. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I had a field like this. There must be silver there
If you keep your coins, it would be great if you show your collection.
Hi there, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch this video. I do indeed keep all my coins and finds and to make a video like this has been something I keep meaning to do. maybe on a rainy winter weekend I will put something together :) Thanks again and I hope to see you again
👍👍
Hello there Jillian great to hear from you, thanks for sticking around and supporting my channel still. Hope you are doin OK and I hope to see you on my next episode :)
Great hunt brother could you educate me a lil what did they use the lead tokens for was it like currency God Bless and happy dirt fishing…Virgil
Hi mate, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and watching this video. yes of course, so these lead tokens would have been paid to farm workers. They can then spend them probably at the farm or other local traders. They were used instead of small denomination coins during times when coins / silver was in short supply. Hard to date, but most likely medieval period. Hope this helps, and thanks again
Hi thanks for explaining them and that is awesome I love history and to think that last person who may have held the was from medieval times God Bless and happy dirt fishing
@@wildmandigging3486 you are welcome. This is why metal detecting is so awesome
Probably already said but Barkers Pool sheffield
Hi there, thanks for visiting my channel and taking time from your day to watch this video. Also, thanks for the heads up on Barkers Pool. Sheffield is quite local to me. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode
What is a medieval field token?
Hi mate, thanks as always for coming along and supporting what I do. These lead tokens were paid to farm workers and they could spend them in local shops etc. Basically a form of currency during a shortage of lower denomination coins. They are super interesting to find and usually quite rare for me to find
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire thank you for the explanation. It’s very interesting. If I would’ve thought for awhile I might have figured it out. But thanks again. We have tokens here from the fields that were used in the same way.
@@ducttapedigger7811 no worries mate, always happy to help folk who take the time to get in touch with me and who support my channel
Hi, Could you know how you clean lead seals? Thank you
Hello, thanks so much for visiting my channel this week and taking time out your day to watch this video. Yes of course, so I placed some hot water in a bowl, placed the seals and tokens into the bowl and left to soak all day. I then took them out and rinsed them under the cold water tap and gently brushed them with a soft brush. Hope this helps and I hope to see you again on my channel very soon. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Thank you very much, I will try the method, because I see that it is very effective. I will definitely follow your channel... I've been doing it for a long time. Greetings and thanks
Like way you wiped a million off the house 😂
Haha, well I think its actually on the market for about £2.5 million. It's a very nice house and when there are new owners, I might just ask if I can detect the back gardens / orchard. Thanks very much for watching, hope to see you again. Gareth
I will let you no now keep off my larrrrnd 😆
Think i could just about buy the out house 🏠
@@jetsdad 🤣🤣 as with anythin, if you don't ask, you don't get
Wish I could get permissions 😭😭
Hello, getting permission is the hardest part of the hobby, and due to the increasing amount of groups criminally taking over the land, it is getting even harder!! Only way to get permissions is by knockin on doors, dress smart and try to come across as a nice guy and a trustworthy guy. Once you get that first permission, you build a bond with the landowner and then he puts you in touch with neighbouring farms and you start getting more and more permissions. The better you get at sweet talking and the more confidence you get the better. Good luck out there, thanks for watching
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Trouble is I can never find any farm houses on the maps to go with the land. It seems there’s acres of land and no premises or farm nearby 🤷
@@Riceyminimad you have to become an investigator. Knock on doors, ask questions, follow tractors. All about been in the right place at the right time
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire thanks I’ll keep trying, I need a day off work to drive round and try and find someone to knock on
@@Riceyminimad I have just booked tomorrow off work to go metal detecting 🍻👐🙏🏻
You took the Lead on this one Gareth. Well done buddy. Exciting location too. Great potential. Bumped into the love of my life at Detectival. Ash 😄. I was only trying to make you jealous and it worked by the sounds of it 😆. Will you be screen-shotting this comment lol. Catch you on the next 🫡
Hahaha nahh man I won't be screenshotting this, but I'll mention it to him. He's pretty much packed up detecting and his channel now. You need to get on at him and order him to sort himself out!! Definite potential on this piece of land and I'm well in with the landowner at the moment, and his wife who walks down with their dogs. Hope all is well mate, I am 100% going to do at least 1 Detectival next year
