- Metal Detecting on Roman Settlements is possibly the most exciting time you will have with a metal detector! Its not just coins and artefacts its the tiling and bricks; the glass and the pottery - it gives the most incredible sensation of what was there some 2000 years before we are standing on it!
Thanks for watching
and all the Best!

Well done both of you! What a fabulous field that is, I'd be on it every spare hour I could muster! Back when dinosaurs ruled the world, I had permission on a field that was just like that (but much smaller). Pottery and tiles all over the place, and very little else but Roman coins and artefacts to be found 👌 Ahh.... Glory days, but I wish now I had the sense to have turned the sensitivity down on my machine, so the iron contamination wasn't masking out a lot of the signals that I no doubt would have been missing! Hats off to Cath for being so generous with such a great permission, and always a treat when Tasci puts in an appearance 🐶. Thanks for letting us come along with you, Alex, always a treat 👍
Thanks for that Chops and yes it was extemely kind of cath to let anyone loose on such a good spot she's a good lass! 😁
I think Cath would become my BEST friend. She needs to be showered with hampers, theatre tickets and fizz! What a permission! Great video Alexander 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You can be my best friend if you come bearing those sort of gifts 😁.
@@catherinelange5109 I’ll do a flippin’ acting course and put a West End show on. Fizz free 😉
@@SedgefieldMetalDetecting😂
That's so nice of Cath to have you as her guest on such a hot permission. You both did very well and it will be a tough act to follow 😉🇨🇦
I know Steve Im not sure she'd let me loose on a Medieval site of the same quality!!!! Hope all well!
You can’t stop unearthing the Roman’s secrets! Keep it up!
Ha! Thanks Alprini hope all well!
@@HolzHammerSagas it is all well, haven’t been getting out much tho
To say I am jealous is an understatement. I nearly had to watch it in two parts. What an amazing site.
Ha! Thanks Ed and hope all well!
OMG Alexander! What a field! Coins, pottery, clasps etc! Thanks for posting. Great to see Taski doing his 'game' thing. All the best, John.
Ha! My enjoyment of the game thing quadrupled when my last terrier did this... and just as much fun wit Tasci - some people cant believe it! Hope all well and thanks as always for watching!
Hi Alexander. What a field that is. To still find a considerable number and variety of items after it has been detected for a number of years shows that there may be more items deeper down. Kudos to Cath for sharing. Also, the snippet with Tasci showing how smart he is, was a nice inclusion. It is obvious that you really enjoyed that day. I look forward to your future visits to this special place.
Hi Alexander, what a great property. So nice to see you out having a good time. It’s always good when you have a friend along and you are finding such nice things… John
Hey Alexander - I believe the mystery rock is a trace fossil, the positive imprint of worm burrows! Great find.
Well thats what I thought but a lot of people are saying casting waste I cant quite work out how that would be but thank you I hope you are right!
I’m quite sure that the Samian stamp belongs to potter ICTTIAMA, Central Gaul, active at the Lezoux kilnsite circa AD 150-195. THE “AM” in the potter’s name are ligated. Another great video, Alex!
That is excellent knowledge Tony I will look into it immediately and thank you!
@@HolzHammerSagaswelcome. I left you on the detecting hub a photo with a similar stamp.
What an amazing day you both had ,and it's nice to be out with someone else, especially when you find something worth sharing.
Thanks SD it really is! Hope all well!
What an amazing field Alexander. Would have loved to have seen it in it's heyday.
I know tyhe mind boggles Steve! 🙏
Wonderful, Alex 😁
I would literally be out from sun up to sun down as often as possible if I had a field like that! Not for the first time, you make me jealous 😉
Keep up the hard work. I know the videos can be a toil (the longer, the better for me) but you always get my thumbs up. You're one of only three channels I follow from which I'll play new videos as soon as I get the notification 👍👍👍
Thanks Muzzy and thats much appreciated! Hope all well and All the Best!
It might be worthwhile for Cath to use a LiDAR map of the field to understand if there’s any lines of settlements , I’m so glad you’ve sorted the speaker issue … great video both
Wonderful video. Not every find needs to have value to be worthy. To touch Samian ware put ‘in touch’ with thousands of years of history. Wow so jealous!
The samian ware was my favourite too I have been waiting years for some stamoed and decorated stuff! Hope all well Jayne thanks for watching!
Hello again. What a video. I could tell you was having a ball. Thanks for taking us along.
Hi Alex, Cath. Great video. I find mostly roman Grey Ware on my permissions and a lot of small roman coins. Never found a silver! I did find a plesiosaur fossil.
If you type in, plesiosaur found by fisherman on the Bristol Channel, it should take to the site.
It's in Taunton Museum. Cheers.
Seriously Nick, I will investigate... a plesiosaur??!! Wow! 👏
@HolzHammerSagas hi Alex, it measured 1.5 metres long, complete fossil, and estimated to be 185 million years old.
Very amazing finds, must be incredible to detect on such ancient fields!
Thanks peter it was good fun!
Nice to see you detecting with someone else 😊
I like it too from time to time Glen!
24:50 this bit reminded me of our jack russell called patch r.i.p. who would go out into the garden & come back in with a mouse hanging out of his mouth and drop it on the carpet wagging his tail. great video as always alex keep up the good work mate. 26:53 nice romans.
Love the stroy of Patch Peter thank you - they can make for good mousers!
Morning Alexander. What an incredible site. Don't think anyone else commented on this, but the painted ware is usually British; 'Nene Valley ware'. It's considered to be high status table ware.
Another interesting video Alex and Cath great to see you both detecting on that Roman site.
Thanks Len and all good with you I trust!
Well done to you both I'm pleased you had a good day out , thank you for the video Alexander it's much appreciated.
Thanks Tim and hope you are well!
@@HolzHammerSagas yes thank you ,hope the same for you
Great video Alexander.
What an interesting site, everything from fossils to Roman artefacts to samien ware, amazing. I'm not envious at all 🙄 😂 👍
Really good fun that one Gary - quite exhausting mentally deciphering all those signals too... hope all well!
Lovely finds! I would find it very difficult to leave anything behind...😅 Coins are groovy, but LOVE the Samian ware. And the new speaker- superb.
Thanks Jeannie - yes the new sound system holding up quite well! Hope all well with you!
Maybe a camp camp of soldiers, Alex 😉. What a good day out. Looked like a lot of fun.
Thanks Wayne it really was!
Hi Alex,cracking selection of coins and artefacts...Cheers Kev...👍
Thanks kev and hope all well!
Great video! That rock/Fossil thing is very interesting.....I am a sucker for rocks and fossils too. The ammonite fossils are very neat.....there is a large one here in our yard in a rock......maybe I should try and bust it loose from the matrix....I hope you are well......ok holler back Alex!!
Hi Tim hope all well over there! Getting cooler here but not too bad - id be interested to hear if you can bust your ammmonite out! Big ones in good condition are wirth a few £££!
like a kid in a sweet shop and and 50p to spend ,i just love hearing the sounds then the sound when it hits the target it helps a lot to learn the sounds
Hi Tom, I remember when 50 pence piece would get you two bars of chocolate and a roll of Toffos happy days!
You make my Friday
Ha! Thanks Chelsea thats very kind of you to say so!
Smashing Finds!!! Cheers & Howdy from Kentucky, 🇺🇸
Hi Dean - hope all well over there its getting quite cool here!
hey mate , its furnace bloom from metal working , great detecting as usual , best wishes mark
Thanks Mark much appreciated knowledge! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
Great video, great finds, well done
Thanks Clay! Hope all well and thanks for watching!
Quern stone maybe ? the curved granite piece, right thickness and texture. Sorry I posted this earlier in a reply not as a comment.
Thanks Countryman I dont know much about quern stones but will investigate!
@@HolzHammerSagas Good Morning, a quick look online will show you many images, the curved granite, worn smooth, led me to think that is what it may be, worth looking into anyway, have a great weekend, regards, Steve.
What a field. Another great video, Alexander.
Thanks Anthony! Hope all well!
Good morning Alex, what a great field you have there, to drool over! We're heading out today! Thanks for the great video!
Hi Alexander I have found similar rocks like the one you found here in New Zealand.From the research I’ve done and from asking a marine biologist and local rock hound I have found out they are called Phycodes trace fossils, hope this might help solve your mystery rock.
Great video Alex well enjoyed great finds well done 👏
Thanks Calvin I am glad you liked it!
Alexander another top video thanks a lot for posting regards bob
Not at all Bob thanks for watching!
What a field Alex ! May I add if history ,geography archaeology geology was taught like this children’s education would be all the better !
As for your terrier on game yes imo rare but if you had to rely on game in pot to survive , the deadliest team I have witnessed was a GSP and terrier
The GSP would point the terrier would flush and retrieve a deadly combo.
Once again thank you for sharing a excellent video
That brooch end at around 18.00 is a Romano-British Aucissa type ..
Thanks Tom I thought it was something like that I havent food much of that type... hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
The worm fossil looks like part of an iron smelting furnace base find lots in west Gloucestershire
There seems to be a bit of money on that Terry thank you!
I’m still laughing about you saying at the beginning of the day that you weren’t going to do any filming, you were just going to have a day just detecting then quickly changed your mind. It’s a brilliant site if you love Roman things. If it was as busy with medieval coins and artefacts it would be much better though😉
ha! Not for me it wouldnt - thanks again Cath I really had fun that day!
A great fun videos Alex
That machine sounds like sooty and swep Alex 😂😂
I like the sounds a lot - I cant bear the squawking those Minelabs make I cant even watch them on videos its like nails down a blackboard
Cracking field wish was there with yer
Thanks John and hope all well!
The curved bit of stone looks like a quern fragment.
Hi Alexander , what an absolutely amazing site . Was this a Roman fort with Vicus .,Obviously high end quarters for the commandant or Villa owner with the Samion ware . Do you know has this site ever been excavated ? , oh and I was out on B point last week 😉 . The mysterious rock looks like it could be bloom from iron smelting " maybe " ATB Phil
A few people have mooted that one Phil I fear you may be right! 😁What was the weather like on B? I do like the walks down those points! Hope all well and thanks as always for watching!
@@HolzHammerSagas Absolutely magic coast line , We have been going there ever since I was a child back in the 60 s 😯 ,when my Nan used to rent a cottage for a long summer break . Tasci has a real soft mouth to handle bird's like that ,what a character he has become .,smashing little mate .
Looks like some type of fossilised coral. Tube worms maybe.
The jury is still out on as to what it is Paul I am keeping my options open! Hope all well
Could it be a blob of slag ceramic slag from the bottom of a kiln?
well it occurred to me Carol but its unusual and quite heavy....
Does that amount of pottery and coinage suggest a previous settlement to you Alexander? Or not necessarily so?
Ah, as I carry on watching, you've already answered that 😂
@@Miss_Toots 😁
It’s a known villa complex that spreads over 3 fields. 1 of these is not on this permission and is where the main villa is (I can imagine what is on that bit!). In the field next to that one is an Iron Age settlement by the look of the LiDAR images.
I wonder why are all the coins so destroyed, the Remus and romulus commemorative is not destroyed, being in the same soil condition. I know the commemorative ones are made in a better alloy.
I have found some pretty dodgy Commemoratives too LC!
I think it’s fossilized roots!
Is the rock fossil the bottom of a resin / concrete bag?
Not sure yet Cointamer the jury is still out! Hopemall well and All the Best, Alexander
not a worm fossil but waste of iron manufacturing from roman times.
Ha! I’ve just noticed , you only comment on my videos to tell me I’ve got something wrong! 😁👍
Could the ‘Granite’ piece with the curve be part of a Roman quern stone. I have seen very similar that was. Great video as always.
How are all those wiggly tubes formed?
Then it would give an obvious signal when you run the machine over it and it doesn’t 🤷♀️
