    Hi Alexander. Just got back from my hunt today. I found 1910 Edward penny that was the last year for British pennies and our pennies came a year later than our silver they started in 1910 and our copper was 1911. Scored a sixpence 1956 50% silver 2 commonwealth pennies and a 1912 half penny. 1943 1955 roo pennies. And some spendies😂.👍✌🇦🇺

    Tasci says....but Dad, there is something on the wind. Well, he showed you his ill manners. LOL Fabulous brooch!!! I can't believe it was just laying there on top! Jealous of the rain. We have a delicious cold front coming Sunday, but don't know if it will bring rain or not. My whole county is in exceptional drought. Almost the whole county. Only a couple more small spots in the state are, then there is the big blob. My live oaks can't take much more. They are already almost naked. I have a huge one across from the house that will break my heart if it dies from the drought.

      You're so lucky with your location, I'm in Devon so not the abundance of roman like you find. We have a lot of bronze and iron age sites around, but they are all protected. I've got a new permission though through a friend and it's on a medieval farm. Looking forward to what may appear from the ground.

    Great finds Alex. Great video, too - thank you. It would be interesting to see a modern reconstruction of a Roman brooch with original colours, enamel, settings etc. Is that field unusually large or perhaps a number of smaller fields combined more recently by removing hedges?

    • @HolzHammerSagas
      @HolzHammerSagas  Рік тому +2

      That's an interesting comment Spitalhatch as old maps show that it was several fields at one point and there is a footpath running through the middle of it dividing the field in two - I definitely have got the wrong bit but I had another good look round and can't find anything obviously Super Roman… It's been drilled now and the seed is coming through so that's me there for awhile!

    Hi Alexander...Great fields and superb finds. Thanks for sharing. You might like to know that Caligula produced very few coins in his own image, rather he dedicated coins to Augustus and to most of his family. The decorated 'Roman' fragment is probably from a bracelet iro. C1-2. And... it was a dress/clothes hook...Medieval period. You should be able to find an exact datable example on PAS😁

    Well found Alex, I like the Roman brooch. 🙂. Regarding saving video and picture footage. 📽🎬. Technology is not my strong point 😀 my mobile phone doesn't have the internet or a camera so what I do is after each dig if I have found something of interest, I use my camcorder at home to video and take pictures of the finds 🙂 and I then periodically upload the videos and pictures onto my desktop computer. 🙂. To keep all the videos and pictures in order, way back in 2005 what I did was open 2 new files for that year and every year since, one file for coins and one file for artefacts, then about 4 years ago I purchased an external hard drive and put all my files on there upgrading each year's file for safe keeping. 🤗. You might think that is enough archiving but I also keep journal records of every outing and those go way back to the 80's. 😲. P.s. I had to quickly call up 2012 coin file and look at my Roman Silver Denari of Caligula commemorating the death of his mother Aggrippina and yes, he faces right. 😂. HH from up North. 🙂.

    Staggering to think that Roman Brooch survived for nearly 2,000 years... the odds of it avoiding modern era mechanized farm machinery rotors and tills must be 100/1 at least!

    Hello Alexander, what a fantastic brooch the detail in the pattern is amazing for that time period. I found a beautiful condition 1900 penny and an Eddie 1902 half penny the other day 🤣😂🤣 big deal they all say😂 I love the history over there. Never the less our history here is cool to find I'm going out today it's 2am now and going to sleep and dream of a nice find🤣. Cheers mate 👍✌️🦘🇦🇺

      Hi Laurence - with me its generally just trial and error - in fact the better something looks "on paper" usually the sparser it turns out to be... in my experience!
