It's me Melanie, Bill Rigby, [still having log-in problems] many thanks for your call today, it was so nice of you to think about me and many thanks to the caller in Australia who, via you, responded to my article in 'The Detectorist; I have visited the sites you mentioned, I have seen pictures of the ring and now know that it was not a specially made 'one-off' but a ring produced early in WW2, it is apparently rare and seems to be a collectors item, but it is not for sale as it is already promised to one of my grandsons who is prominent in one of the WW2 re-enactment brigades. Give my regards to Graeme and look forwards to seeing his smiling face on Tuesday.
Thank you for a very interesting video Graeme, enjoyed hearing what they might have been able to buy back in their day. They've certainly gone up in value since then! 😊
I absolutely love English hammered coins, and have been collecting them for many years. Thanks for another great video, i always enjoy and appreciate the effort! And i imagine you could get far far more than half cut with any of those gorgeous gold beauties haha : )
Great video, very informative. I've only ever found part of a counterfeit noble, still had the heart racing at the time though as the gold plating was quite thick, one day
Very interesting to learn about the buying power of these coins. Really puts into perspective for me personally, how much silver medieval spoons and a decent pair of boots would cost. Great video Graeme and thanks.
Very interesting maybe. It's good to know the buying power of coins and what they would have been worth in their day. You should do more buying power information video's
great vlog graham, lovely coins... ive found a full victorian soverign and a victorian half gold soverign.....never a hammered gold or roman gold.......one day...lol
hammered coins need to be weighed before assuming they have been clipped because they was cut out at the mint and if it was slightly over they would nip a bit of until it was correct weight just because it looks clipped does not mean it is . great show mate thanks
Interesting video thanks for sharing 😁👍I have only ever found 1 gold hammered and been detecting for about 25 years but is a special moment when you find one 👍 Do you think we will be allowed to detect after the 2nd?
Yes sir, thankfully we can get on with our job of saving the past after the 2nd of dec! Just make sure you check out your area and what tier you are in but its pretty much systems go for individuals
Hi Graeme, I hope that you and Mel and families are well. That Noble certainly is a whopper Graeme! As you say, only the very rich and Noble ever exchanged them in number, and because the nobility were a minority, the real money stayed with them? The only gold hammered coins that I've ever seen and held are a gold Angel. found by a friend of mine, and a gold Stater that was found at a small rally many moons ago now. Gold is, in it's self, a wondrous thing. I think that it is warm, and alluring, yet somehow 'calculating' and dangerous also ....Thanks for showing these coins, and explaining some of the history that they represent. Stay safe my friend.
Oh how I wish Graeme, Sorry but due to a hacking problem I have had to change my user name, it is Bill Rigby posting, sorry for any confusion, when is the next edition of The Detectorist mag due?
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Well the covid virus for one, has I don't fancy getting arrested by the Police, Don't have any permissions anymore due to the farmers who allowed me on their land have sold up. Stopped going out in the pouring rain fed up of getting wet through and cold. It gets harder as the time goes by I'm 74 now and not as fit as a butchers dog used to be. lol.
Hans Holbein, court painter to Henry VIII earned £30 a year (or thereabouts). I'm told only one gold coin has ever been found at Vindolanda; the logic being there's no point in paying anyone in gold to buy a round when the pub doesn't have enough change. Nice coins Graeme.
Sightly different in the roman times chris, gold coins were mainly used in bulk payments and paying off the enemy, the romans along the wall enjoyed many decades of peace until in house fighting took over
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Didn't start off so well dealing with that northern lot - but then what do you expect : ) Add in, let's build an extra wall - oops, lets move back again, pay rises, debased currency + inflation, Rome only wanting gold for its coffers and about 300 years of evolving occupation until they all decide to head South and the locals nick the bricks. Northerners eh! (so who's the dislike for the video?)
If they are single coins and not part of a hoard then its then between the landowner and the finder with regards to what happens to the coin, some split it 50/50, sometimes the landowner wants to keep it etc depending on the agreement you have in place
great half noble

hammered coins need to be weighed before assuming they have been clipped because they was cut out at the mint and if it was slightly over they would nip a bit of until it was correct weight just because it looks clipped does not mean it is . great show mate thanks
Many thanks for watching sir
Lovely gold coins I remember finding my first gold which was a dukat from the Netherlands found on pasture dated 1802.
Very nice indeed!
Great video, thanks, very interesting. ATB HH Andy
Thanks Andy
Interesting video thanks for sharing 😁👍I have only ever found 1 gold hammered and been detecting for about 25 years but is a special moment when you find one 👍
Do you think we will be allowed to detect after the 2nd?
Yes sir, thankfully we can get on with our job of saving the past after the 2nd of dec! Just make sure you check out your area and what tier you are in but its pretty much systems go for individuals
Thanks for that 👍if we are tier 3 does that mean we can’t get out detecting?

Hi bill, this week it will be here sir!
I live in the UK and because I always use my phone, I genuinely forgot there was a £2 coin
Dont use many of them now
Nice finds there Graeme, don't get out anymore. maybe one day I will.
Why not mate?
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Well the covid virus for one, has I don't fancy getting arrested by the Police, Don't have any permissions anymore due to the farmers who allowed me on their land have sold up.

@@Mike35858 I hope you can get out and about at some point in the future pete, where are you based
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Not too far away from you Graeme, Preston Lancashire.
I have this type of coins but not gold
Thats interesting sir
It's valuable or not
@@veerganeshv7438 if its not gold then probably not
I think it's bronze

What happens when you find these? Can you just keep them without reporting? Genuine question
If they are single coins and not part of a hoard then its then between the landowner and the finder with regards to what happens to the coin, some split it 50/50, sometimes the landowner wants to keep it etc depending on the agreement you have in place
wow look at them get on marra ..whats not to like one thumb down ..
I know who it is who gives the thumbs down, he needs to lay off the drugs mate
when or if i find Gold Hammered or a spear head...or Axe head...i will celebrate with a 21yr old Jura single malt !..Never say Never Graeme !
Very true my friend and i will raise a glass with you
