    Congrats! It's been a dream of mine to metal detect the UK for many years. Here in the US we're just not old enough and we're pretty limited in what we find. You guys got so much things going on in your background, Celtic, Roman, and all the other hammered stuff my God! I wish you the best and hope you find some more take care!

    I think Andrew Watts made a very good point in his comment. As you were pulling out some of those bits of rock, I thought to myself that they didn't look like random rubble, but something from some sort of structure.

    • @beth7467
      @beth7467 4 года назад +17

      Yup. That "useless bit of rock" he grumbles about could be part of a building. Hope there's coordination between Clegg and archaeologists to learn more about the site. (It's not just about the hoard.)

He left the field looking like a moonscape and then spouts this crap about think he didn’t think the archaeologist wouldn’t want to bother digging the site because of the inconvenience of having to excavate under rocks??? Is he f’ing kidding?? And when he start hitting pottery shards I was furious!!! I wanted to throttle that wretched little troll!!

      EpicChannel I love archaeology and the time and care spent in carefully removing an artifact in situ. Metal detecting is a far cry from that profession, so maybe I should just shut up and go away instead of suffering fools!!

    • @epicchannel4724

      @@nickandlaurihyde Stop being so angry as i can actually see your point.
      I am only about a year into metal detecting and honestly i was looking for some WW2 history in the place i live.
      I knew enough that i GPS anything i couldn't identify.
      I realised after a did that i had dug up an immaculate bronze age palstave.
      I contacted the local museum.
      The thing is that this has made me research like crazy and learn about what i should be doing if i incounter archaeology.
      The shear volume of area that people involved in metal detecting cover has brought about finds that may never have been uncovered.
      The vast majority of people who detect have the best intentions and most never really expect too find anything of major significance.
      Honestly knowing what i know now i would suggest a national forum and standard involving archaeology and even the manufacturers and those who take up the hobbie.
      We should not be turning on each other as both have incredible benifits.

    I'm sure if you put a shout out to some trainee archaeologist they'd help dig over that area.
    Look forward to the next video.
