This was a dream treasure hunt for me! Thanks so much Adam and Michelle for bringing me on such a fun and treasure filled adventure metal detecting. Drop a thumbs up for Adam - our walking encyclopaedia who brought history to life today 👍 Hope you enjoy the video! 😃🤙
I’m absolutely loving seeing you explore the U.K. will you be heading up to Scotland with your detectors? Keep up the great content! With love from Nottinghamshire 💖
Why do you think that there was so many coins in this area? Did some sort of event take place here,..or was there some sort of market area set up here centuries ago?
That would be so cool!! Here I want to get a coin I remember finding in a jar of pennies that my great aunt gave me. I had it in my jewelry box and it went missing. Found out my ex took it and used it to buy something. It was a small penny, smaller than a CDN/US penny, same colour as them but it was called a half penny. Such a cool video!! Thx guys!!🤙🏻☺️🐬
Hello.. those tiny coins you found are called... Lepta.. in the bible Jesus referred to the widow who drop two small coins into the treasure chest. Those were the smallest coins used at that time. You couldn't even buy one sparrow to feed yourself, they had very little value
Adam has definitely got a wealth of knowledge and is very interesting to listen too. Love your enthusiasm Leigh whenever you find something. So nice to see you learning about history in our little country xx
Congrats on your Romans. That gold coin is just calling your name......heard it in the wind. That mini coin was precious.....y'all stay safe and happy hunting 💗🕊️
01:46 Constantine I, by the combination of style portrait and approx. diameter, I'd say about 310 from western mint (could be London, Trier, Lyons...), reverse has been intentionally filed smooth. 03:56 most probably also Constantine I (by the hooked shape of the nose), GLORIA EXERCITVS (single standard) variety, struck AD 336-342 (and for Constantine I, 336-37 only). Mintmark is off-flan. 10:14 Constantine II as Caesar, BEATA TRANQVILLITAS type, Lyons, first officina (PLG in ex), issue of AD 321 (with C- R controls in rev. field), much scarcer than the previous one. 13:45 "Barbarous radiate", British, imitating Tetricus I, Gallic usurper, AD 271-74 these imitations are supposed to have been struck a bit later (late 270s - early 280s) 14:45 either Valentinian I or Valens, less likely one of Valentinian's sons, but the obv inscription is worn out. I cannot see the mintmark but seems legible. 16:38 another British "Barbarous radiate" of approx. same age and type as before. Hope this was useful. Great video! Keep doing this great job, rescuing all these coins, every little one is important!
Wow I'm absolutely blow away by your knowledge! Thank you so much for sharing such great information. I've got so much to learn but I don't think I'll ever hold a candle to your knowledge 🙌🙌
@@BondiTreasureHunter Hello my friend it is I who am grateful to you metal-detectorists that bring so many wonderful coins above the surface for us to study and collect. Unfortunately most other countries are not so open-minded in this subject as you are in the UK, they have even forbidden metal detectors, they are so stupid.
@@Numischannel Yes that is frustrating that the history is being destroyed by the plough or rotting away. It's such a fantastic hobby and a great way to learn more about history.
@@BondiTreasureHunter Yes, I have a friend who is a metal detectorist in "some Eastern European country", and whom I help identifying his finds, and he's got a channel here in youtube. I also comment his finds in my channel, but he asked me to keep his name undisclosed. He does exactly what you do, I never saw him trespassing any archaeological site nor anything, just private fields with no ruins. And in Italy, a country I know very well, if they find coins ploughing in their fields, many farmers would rather sink them in the lake or in the Sea, to avoid bureaucracy and even the closure of their fields for undeterminated time (and loss of their crops).
Well Leigh you've brightened my morning again. I've got hayfever and as usual haven't slept much due to pain, sorry had to tell you this to give you a picture of how I'm feeling at 5.30am. It never ceases to amaze me the abundance and quality of the coins that people find. I visualise the scenes back to the Roman occupation and think "damn I've dropped my money, I'll just have to starve today". I love the chunky little dog, at one point he started digging behind you and I thought he'd been trained to find human bones 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks so much for the excitement and sheer joy of your treasure hunts. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)
Oh man I get Hayfever as well!! It's the worst...coming into summer over there so i hope you're not feeling too bad. Try not eating any dairy...it really helps me! It great to think back like that when you find such old coins, it just brings history to life. Such a great feeling and yes Titan is a great digger 😂
Great finds. Treasure is where ever you go and the people you meet on the way having fun.. The coins are a great extra bonus.Good luck hunting and be safe.👍
Yesssss! I love this comment. Lee's enthusiasm and his ability to always include the viewer with his endearing personality is what keeps me watching his awesome vids.
Hey. Have you guys ever watched Time Team? I've got 1 day to view on the 2nd episode of the new series. They're excavating a Roman villa in Oxford. You could make your own special featuring magnet fishing, metal detecting on land, and underwater 'treasure hunting' Something to think about. Keep the fun coming.
That’s absolutely amazing!! What a hunt! I can’t believe you found so many Roman coins!! Well done congratulations!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 bucket lister for sure 💪😁🍻🤙 amazing knowledge from Adam!
Why were the romans such butter fingers??? they must have dropped more than they spent lol. ps that 'roman shotgun cartridge' dad joke made me laugh more than it should have.
What brilliant coins. Such great condition. Love the tiny one. The oldest coin l've found is a 1925 threepence! It seemed ancient when l was 11 years old! 🤣 Great video. 🙂
Would you include information on need for permits and permission from property owners so that people aren't inspired to go out onto historic properties to 'treasure hunt' on their own? Too many sites are being looted. Also, could you also share that finds must be reported to authorities--especially gold finds? Thanks.
As a farmer I agree, I metal detect on our land at home but night hawks go on at night and dig up crops. Farmers will say yes most likely, just got to ask
What An Adventure treasure hunt!! Wish I was there as well. I couldn’t see the face until Adam zoomed in. Bam, there it was. Be Safe and love the van. ❤️🙏😎
Great hunt🤙 it's my dream to metal detect a Roman trail or settlement. You truly are 'living the dream'. A big hello from home South Australia mate. Keep up the good work. I can live my dream through you and your videos 😊
yes , only roman coin ive found is also a minim , but some of the smallest medieval coins in holland/france ( called '' petit denier/maille' ' ) can be just as small ( 10mm ) found like 6 of them sofar , fistrule : dig all
What an excellent dirt digging session! I don’t know what to call it I mean yes your metal detecting but these are for thousand year old coins. Congratulations on your fines and your little hob nails!
That's so cool finding 2000 year old Roman artifacts in America the oldest thing you can find is arrowheads a metal detector won't help you and there's no way of really knowing if they are thousands of years old or just like a couple hundred.
Careful brew you're going to get tangled up. :D Haha That one Roman you dug is REALLY epic. They don't come out like that very often!! However, for me. I do feel the roman tool kit piece was the find of the day! Not nearly as common as a Roman coin Happy Hunting!
the tiny coin is just as small as some Greek/Persian coins from Asia minor - those things are tiny!!! Britain's so cool for these Roman settlements, oldest thing here in west coast USA is a magazine from 1980 lol
That was a Roman nail you found on your magnet winter shoes I think. I would want to go back to where you just went there were so many coins there I know y'all didn't find them all and finding roman is the best
Here in Greece you need a permit to search. You choose the place YOU HOPE is NOT a historic place if yes bb permit for that place and IF you get a permit for a place you need to call them, tell them when and where to search and 2 people is beside you looking you for searching with the detector at the place is suppose not a historic place. So UK what is your story there ????
@@BondiTreasureHunter First thank you for the reply. Yea better be prepared to the teeth that you are ok with the papers before come here or else is just waste of money to fly all the way here. I could be happy to see you here but damit those papers 😞😞😞
There are UA-camrs who collect vintage shotgun shell headstamp. I found one in the field next to our house that the manufacturer stopped making in 1934. I found it six inches in the ground, and when I picked it up it was as if the hunter had dropped it, and I had bent down to pick it up for him. If you start doing closeups of your finds, include.these other artifacts in addition to the coins. As cool as coins are, the diversity of your finds will appeal to diverse viewers!
I didn't knew this until recently but you can actually buy ancient coins in brand new, MS graded condition for a few hundred dollars, so I've bought one, it looks so unrealistic, it has no wear and it's shiny.

That’s absolutely amazing!! What a hunt! I can’t believe you found so many Roman coins!! Well done congratulations!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 bucket lister for sure 💪😁🍻🤙 amazing knowledge from Adam!
17:50 you were laughing at it... just as I was thinking it looked like you.
Adam looks just like the policeman on Doc Martin.
Why were the romans such butter fingers??? they must have dropped more than they spent lol.
ps that 'roman shotgun cartridge' dad joke made me laugh more than it should have.
The Romans were very heavy drinkers. 😂
The Roman Trio!! Great finds by all. Congratulations. Cheers mates! 🏴😊👍🇺🇸
HEY LEE! 🥰 Those people giving thumbs down are the most jealous treasure hunters on the planet 🤣🤣🤣

Nothing Better than being on a really Roman patch! Well done - you will need to mug up on Roman coins! - they look mainly 4thC - good stuff!

What an incredible place to be allowed to metal detect. Awesome stuff.

😂😂 Yeah I tracking if I had of been wear underpants I might of found gold! 🤩🤙
That is a walhalla over there with so much roman finds!
Awesome adventure! You got us wanting to get a metal detector now ;) Loved the tiny coin Leigh !!!

Amazing finds. The dig was engrossed 😝
What a day guys 🙌🏻
Brilliant day with a top team 🙌🏻
I rather like your ear pick or whatever handy tool it was!! Great day, awesome field!❤
Great video great finds I really enjoyed it, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
