WALKING IN ROMAN RUINS Part 2 /// Metal detecting 2000 years of UK history (even Roman boot nails!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2024
- Join me as I close the end of my first year as a beginner in metal detecting with a January road trip to Roman territory! We’ll continue our exploration of a new UK permission and get to know the land through finds. My usual mix of history, nature, outdoors and searching. 😊 Plus, I share my research on the best water to clean your finds in the field ***WARNING not all waters are the same. This is a must watch if you’re using tap water….
SPOILER ALERT - MORE ancient Roman finds are made!
What to do next - part 3 IS COMING SOON filmed at the wonderful Roman Baths! Also, SUBSCRIBE the hell out of this channel and set an alert - because I post whenever there’s something great to share! 🎥

A bit about me:
Not your average bloke in camo..
Hello! I’m Ellie, English female detectorist, beachcomber, mudlark and artist. 🇬🇧 Follow my searching journey metal detecting the UK countryside and shoreline, as I learn about British history through objects.
Have I found any treasure? Well - I’ve really been putting in the time, and in my first year of detecting I have collected Roman artefacts, old gold, hammered coins and medieval finds. But the REAL treasure is in the stories each object tells about people and places. Sometimes it’s the mystery objects that I love best - cracking the code of time with plenty of help from my team of trusty subscribers!

My advice would be to look for the ferrous..Roman settlements, farmsteads etc are usually littered in iron..You look to be working a slope ..Look on Google maps to see if its orientated South, SE.. I have found many Roman sites here in Kent and they are usually situated on the top leveled out area above south facing slopes..It's not a given, but has payed off for me ..
Ellie you just keeping giving very good tips with your great videos , keeping us entertained
Some lovely Roman finds! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. Hope you discover plenty of extraordinary items in the future!
You are so welcome thanks for doing what you do .
nice roman coins, I also like the MD hobby
Super great video ! Thanks for your smille 😉
WoW ❤ great finds! Fibula is awesome ❤
Yes I did😊
Awesome finds.
Waauhh 😍 Congratulations mega roman 👏 👏 👏 Miss D. Barcelona (Spain).
Many thanks for watching! Subscribe if you like 😊😊
Great tip on using rain water to clean items ! Will share this 😉🇨🇦
Be sure to check the levels in your area - it’s good where I am but might differ elsewhere!
Hello Miss Detectorist. I really enjoy your channel - especially your approach to the subject. I myself am a historian and work with battlefields from the Middle Ages and the Danish-Swedish wars. But in my spare time I paint a lot - mostly landscapes. I have sat and enjoyed your pictures and thought that it is a shame, that we do not get to know you as an artist as well. Do you have a website with your art that you want to share with us?
Thank you for your lovely videos.
Hello there! You can follow my art on Instagram @ellieverrecchia_artist 🤍 a few people have asked about me sharing more of my art practice and I’m happy to do that just didn’t want to veer too much off-topic! Perhaps I’ll run a poll and check!
Awesome Vid, great finds. That was oak tree is awesome 🏋🏻♂️
It is a stunner!
I travel to York from blackpool 100 mile drive to my permission , then 100 miles back i been doing that for over 20 years lol but ive had some amazing finds !!
It’s so worth it for the right spot!
Great film work and great finds😊❤
That’s so nice of you to say - hope you’re on my subscribe list!
I'll send you some Scottish water, 0.5ppm to 2ppm chlorine, loving the Video's 👍
Keep digging up the romans, such a great hobby, I collected Roman LRBs back in the day and one my my favs were the VOT types, great to see one found in real time, but it does look cold there :)
Its a bit parky but not too bad!
Another great video Ellie look forward to your next venture. Oxfordshire to Peterborough two permissions. Len
Great Len a nice spread of options for you to explore there!
I'd consider that tree a good find. Do you know if it's an English or Sessile Oak? And the pine is wonderful, as well! I hope some company will send you a GPS. You have such enthusiasm and are seeking knowledge about this craft. Happy treasure hunting!
Hi Ellie I am a new subscriber to your channel, you have found some really nice Romans there on that Land. A nice Julia Domna or Julia mamea Dinari and some nice Constantine 2nd coins. And a great Roman Brooch. Great finds Amazing Land keep going back,as there is a lot more there to be Found.Happy Hunting👍😘x
Thanks! Yes it’s a JULIA MAMAEA but unfortunately a contemporary forgery! Still a beautiful object.
I’ve never left the country but I do travel to Devon from Yorkshire, just over 300 miles. I’ve often driven 150 miles to swing my coil.
If you want the good finds you need to put the effort in, which for most who follow this hobby means travelling. Having said that my best ever find came from a local farm where I’ve spent countless hours finding nothing but rubbish, you just never know where something exceptional may be. keep up the good work, I enjoy the style of your videos.
Thanks Robert!
@@miss_detectorist good morning, I thought I was the only one mad enough to be awake at this time of the day planning for when the sun comes up. With the break in the relentless rain I am considering having a few hours in the field today, the question is where.
Keep up the great work some lovely finds.
😊😊 thank you hope you’re subscribed as there’s something coming today - something a bit different! ✨✨
I'm always watching the blogs. I'm from Plymouth its great to see the great finds coming up. Not much up this way
Bravissima 🌹
Nice video. I travel
From Suffolk where I live to Cumbria for digs it’s 5 hours to meet up with friends and have a day out.
Always worth it to see friends and the dig is a bonus!
Such a fun day coming along with you. I really admire your enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of developing and discovering the hobby with a bit more effort toward researching your techniques and how you assimilate the historical perspective of these little objects by going to the preserved epicenters of Roman culture in these areas, like the baths. This is such an enriching experience for me as a novice to learn with you as you continue to really master the hobby in such a rich and historically diverse area. I can’t wait to see where you’ll take us next time. Let’s go!
Thanks for the feedback 😊 glad you’re enjoying the films
I've traveled from Texas to Florida and North Carolina to detect 1500 miles. I'm planning a trip to the UK later this year to attend the RMC and a smaller event.
That’s a good bit of travel! Hope you made some decent finds 😊 RMC sounds good might head there myself!
Hi Ellie! Great videos and great finds. I've been to England four times metal detecting when we have a lot of snow and frost in the winter. When I was younger, I often had nosebleeds. Old ceramic fragments are interesting and I found here in Finland a stone age ceramic fragment with the maker's fingerprint. I wonder what kind of person did it and if I could understand what he was saying. Congratulations on the wonderful finds.
What an amazing find! I love ceramic fragments - as you say the hand of the maker is on it which feels very personal. Good to know it’s not just me with the nosebleeds!
Hi Ellie,
You're totally right, go metal detecting where good stuff is, it's obvious. but that may be difficult to organize, finding good spots first, finding land owners or farmers, getting permissions and getting there....
I personally go nearby where I live, so that I can go by foot or by bike, or just 2 minutes drive, I have some permissions more afar and a detecting friend where we go together to good permissions 15 minutes far away
Anyway congrats for you great finds
I know it sounds obvious but so many people where I live get frustrated at the lack of finds, some areas are just naturally 'quiet'. Sometimes I think you have to take action! But yes, it is a bit of an effort, and for daily detecting having permissions close to home is fantastic - I do that too! Love that you ride your bike or on foot.
I think 90% of detectorists give up within a few months, good for us the tough ones
@@miss_detectorist
Such an interesting film Miss Ellie, that roundup of coins and that fibula truly stunning history saved. Well done , a great channel and all the best to you
Glad you enjoyed it! I love gathering my finds in situ and admiring them 😂

Thanks guys!
I’m so happy to follow you as you metal detector and find such very nice Roman coins. Hope you keep finding them.
Thanks for subscribing to my little (growing!) channel
Brilliant, thanks for sharing.
You make a wonderful presenter,clear and knowledgeable. Hope you find a hord one day.
Most kind, thank you 😊
Hi Ellie I don’t have to travel far because I live in Kent there’s a lot of history round here. I’ll find out a lot of Roman coins coins Saxon, ❤
I loved this video thank you M.D
Thanks for watching! 😊
Wow. Fantastic couple of days detecting Ellie and superb finds. Loving the video presentation. You’ll be getting some Composite Cleaning Pencils next to clean those Romans.
Maybe!
Some really great pieces coming up from that area. I look forward to your tour of the bath houses,, All the best, keep up the great work 👍💪
It’s coming today!!!! ✨✨✨✨✨
Well done Ellie, what a field! Many say you should certainly detect around ancient trees - great historical resting places! Keep having fun ❤
Yes I will go back to the tree 🌳
Two great videos. Thank you for sharing! What a beautiful estate and fantastic place to detect. Really nice Roman finds. The oak tree is spectacular. I’m in the US but have traveled to the UK a couple of times. Bath is a definite favorite or mine. Looking forward to the video!
It’s coming in a few hours!
Awesome finds and lots of interesting information!
Very glad to hear you find my vids helpful 😊
You haven't wasted your time trying near by fields , it's always good to find the boundaries of your site . I'm thinking you have found a Mansio which is like a motel in Roman times for travelers .There would be sleeping quarters a food hall ,stables for horses and some had bath houses.🎉
Maybe!
great tips nice finds keep the videos coming
😊😊
Try distilled water as there is no chlorine whatsoever. I did enjoy that tip.And a very good video Cheers from Canada!
Congrats on all the Roman. Brilliant. Australia to the UK. Back in September to do the rallies. Congrats on the subs increase. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Fantastic!!!! Perhaps it was your post I saw on FB!
No. Not us on FB. I believe there is a hoard of colonials that come over 😂🦘🦘😁👍
I use distilled water for my copper coins. It doesn’t discolor or affect the metal.
Nice finds the string lines are an interesting idea but there's a few apps available to log finds with and what bit of the field you've been in
Yeah I have an app but it doesn't help you walk straight!
@miss_detectorist when ploughed there is always new stuff coming up I've detected the same field along with many others and it still turns up nice finds
Keep up the good work and happy hunting
Think what I'm trying to say is a field is never done
Brasil......😊
i went to tenerife detrecting in december, didnt find any bling but plenty of coins
Nice! Is the sand very mineralised? Volcanic isn’t it
Hi Ellie loved your video you inspired me now to go metal detecting here in Ireland so was just wondering what is a good metal detector to get plus pin pointer Kind Regards Gerald
Hi Gerald! Glad you enjoyed it! Gerald I would head over to LP Metal detecting website using this link - they are fantastic and helpful, good people to deal with.
www.lpmetaldetcting.com/missdetectorist
There you will find an option for the Detector Selector (at the bottom of the page, in the More About Us section.) Its a one minute quick quiz to determine your budget and the type of land or beach (or both!) that you want to detect on. It will point you in a good direction for you. As a pinpointer I highly recommend the Garret AT ProPointer - the best in my opinion. When you use my code MISSDETECTORIST at checkout, you will get 10% off selected lines too! Great to hear you're inspired!
Thank you so much@@miss_detectorist
What program and settings do you normally use, and what target ID are you finds coming in at? Thanks
It’s a custom program, designed by a friend, and I’m seeing IDs all over from 40s to 80s!
@miss_detectorist thanks, I'm using Sens FT, with an 11" coil, sensitivity 97, just checking to see if it was a similar program. Your videos are great.. 😀
@@cabester77 that’s very kind of you to say 😊
