your button is a french light infantry button from the 1700s but after the french revolution , similar ones have also been found in america that fell off of french uniforms during the revolutionary war , so your button is from some time around the late 1700s
The little boy look's like family Dan? Watching you travel around all over is very exciting. The places you visit are fantastic. It's good to be Deep Digger Dan these day's.
Hi Dan. Great Video! I love it when you go abroad and hunt with your friends. And the Cliffs of Dover are absolutely spectacular. Thx for adding that to the video. Cheers Dan. ttyl -Drew
Great vid Dan, Simply a beautiful castle and an awesome place to have the opportunity to dig! Thanks for sharing your experience and HH! Any more detail or ID on the coin! Looked like a nice Silver piece!
Dan, I'm watching from the USA. Your videos are so interesting. The Nazi stuff is forbidden by most pawn shops here, because the owners are usually Jewish. I see them as real treasures of history. Keep it up. You're a joy to listen to.
You did a very good job on these videos Dan. I've quite enjoyed them. I would like to see a "round up" of all your finds. I've lost track of them by now. Those places were very interesting.
Dan you seem like a swell dude, turning into a big fan. The mild chauvinism is disheartening though. I'm sure plenty of ladies and girls find this just as thrilling!
Apparently the Castle is for sale - requiring extensive repairs - was used as a Gestapo prison not a Nazi headquarters - for that you would have to head to Himmlers Nazi fortress of fear Wewelsburg in Paderborn where the Deaths head rings are supposed to be all 10,000 of them - each one worth a fortune thats where we are headed this year for some tasty metal detecting.
The thing you found @1.30 is a clock hand. You can see the 'pointy' end where it shows the time, and the other end has the pin where is fixes to the clock face.
Hello dan . As always another great video . This time with some proper friends ! You have to be a gifted person to make friends in other countries by way of videos on metal detecting ! I enjoy watching your videos , with you it's always we don't know what is in store for us ! Also enjoy your cooking videos ' that pastry must have been like lava ! Lol you took a bite , then you vanished beforehand eyes , all I saw was a hand reaching for the water ! Lol that was so funny ! Thanks for being you '
That French coin is most definately NOT gold, it could be copper, and it looks like a 20 centimes coin. Which basically translates to 20 cents.It is also fairly recent. So far I could see it in your video, I am guessing at 80s up to start Euro era. Would have loved to join you guys! And I can translate a lot of the Dutch to you as well, my English it pretty good. Also i can use some nice finds for a change! haha
This is some dutch stuff: Hallo Deep Digger Dan, ik ben helemaal weg van je filmpjes en ik kijk ze elke keer met mijn vader. Ik en mij vader zoeken ook met de metaaldetector, eigenlijk altijd naar ww2 spullen. We hebben al heel veel gevonden. Ik heb de garret AT pro en mijn vader heeft de Minelab Etrac. Veel succes met de trip naar Berlijn. Houdoe, Lucas. Lol that was dutch.
like your comment about the dutch, Dan, i'm an ex-patriot who has been living in holland for 35 years and it is a strange language an also difficult to learn, but i can translate from dutch-english and from english to dutch
Nice video. When I was stationed in Germany in the early 90's we heard stories about people finding crates of STG 44's still wrapped in cosmoline. If you get a chance to head to the Rheinland-Pfalz area in between Landstuhl and Kindsbach off of the B-40 highway there were many bunkers in the hills leading up to the Bahn Radar sites. You would have to be careful though since that area was bombed. We had a German bunker from WW2 that we returned to the Germans in Kindsbach. I was one of the last Americans in the site before we gave it back. I had heard that the owner sealed it off with concrete though.
Man im in school for nursing but doing what you do is a dream of mine- I hope I make it there one day! Keep up the good stuff its beyond interesting and this world will run out of WW2 artifacts if it weren't for people like you.... crazy shit man
I would have loved to see the inside of that castle next time go to King Henry of France castle if it's still around I would love to travel to all the historic castles an metal detect how cool would that be
In 1966 I recall the moat at Higham Ferrers castle being excavated. Among the relics recovered were steel breastplates and musket balls from the English civil war of 1664. Castles always have relics for discovery if their holders were involved in military conflict.....
Hi Dan use to metal detect in the early 80s watched your review on detectors and you said that you did not feel the garrett AT Pro was not good on the wet sand .... what would be a good all rounder around the same price. I must say love all your videos you should have your own show on SKY or Dave Channel keep up the good work And get some GOLD ! lol
hi dan, i live in the netherlands, and i heared that patrick is a dutch man like me haha cool! i love to walk with the detector also, i found alot of stuff to from the ww2. from the atlantikwall and more i walked. in germany i have looked around Stadtkiel i know the is alot of fight be there happend but to many people already have searched there :( but i found some nice coins bullets and necklace and a spear point from the roman i think. when are you going to germany or to the netherlands? would me awsome if i can join you :D greets daniel
Dan, you should try Romania. Lots of roman stuff here. It's just that u are not allowed to metal detect the beach. :) More than that, you will find items from roman times, fighting the Dacians and some amazing dacian items..like these bracelets: media.hotnews.ro/media_server1/image-2012-09-25-13288918-56-bratari-dacice.jpg
Hi dan thanks for an interesting adventure again I was especially interested in your location footage and your finds thanks mate hey did you see my pro pointer invention for water hunts I think it was episode 32 it's worth a look if you can and let me know what you think , when it's winter time I'm going to go through all of my videos and write down what's in them. Take care mate and let me know what you think of the invention would be great Regards Paul aka Aussie coin hunter
Hi Dan, I have an AT Pro but I'm saving towards an Excalibur II for underwater detecting. I noticed the Excalibur II you were using in this video and my question is this. Between the AT Pro and the Excalibur II, which one do you like best on land? Is the Excalibur worth the money? Thanks, keep the vids coming!
Dan, Love your vids! I'm American and live near Frankfurt. I'm going to buy myself my first metal detector soon. Any recommendations? I was thinking maybe a Garrett ATX Pro.
Are there less metal detectorists in Germany? I would think so I would be frightened to dig stuff up there especially the amount of ordinates. Many are live be careful with that shovel!! Great video mate, Cheers, Stockbuar
Hey dan, I just want an idea on how much your metal detector was as me and my father are saving for a good one and are looking forward to getting started.
I love this stuff, real history being uncovered. These guys were great to let you tag along. I hope more people do this for you ,,,, and us !
i wish i can go metal detecting with this guy ... he seems prretty friendly and energetic !!
your button is a french light infantry button from the 1700s but after the french revolution , similar ones have also been found in america that fell off of french uniforms during the revolutionary war , so your button is from some time around the late 1700s
Dude, at 1:23 the knife, stab, stab, stab thing had me rolling. I've subscribed and am looking forward to more videos.
The little boy look's like family Dan? Watching you travel around all over is very exciting. The places you visit are fantastic. It's good to be Deep Digger Dan these day's.
I actually found the bridge by the castle at the end of the video to be the most intresting object. What an amazing piece of craftsmanship
great series of videos mate,loved em!..they even got me kids interested!.
keep em coming buddy..
all the best..wayne.
Hey dan! you have given me hours of entertainment. keep up the great videos! i love watching them. always makes me smile.
You're the best, Dan. Don't ever stop doin what you do!

Cool finds. Sweet permission. Very nice hosts. Happy Hunting brother,DD...
You did a very good job on these videos Dan. I've quite enjoyed them. I would like to see a "round up" of all your finds. I've lost track of them by now. Those places were very interesting.
Some of the everyday items looked familiar but u'll enjoy finding out yourself. THANKS FOR THE VIDS., EH! bg
Dan you seem like a swell dude, turning into a big fan. The mild chauvinism is disheartening though. I'm sure plenty of ladies and girls find this just as thrilling!
You are the best dan. My wife and I are huge fans. Love your videos!!! Staby staby stab
LOVE THE CHAUVINISM, keep up the good work, fuk that dumb broad.
Sometimes the fans make a person want to stay as much as the "talent". Or, not.
The little kid is awesome, he should have his own channel. I would sub.
Great video Dan. I am a bit envious though, I wish I could be lucky enough to metal detect around a place that was built around 1547.
Deep Digger Dan, I very lovely button. Very great locations that you've been digging in lately.
wow go deep diggerdan you really in my oppionion. a great metal detectorest fooled me with the bridge.
looks like you had a great time hope you have many many more to come GL&HH...Wayne
Nice square cuts. lol made my day. Cheers. :)
Apparently the Castle is for sale - requiring extensive repairs - was used as a Gestapo prison not a Nazi headquarters - for that you would have to head to Himmlers Nazi fortress of fear Wewelsburg in Paderborn where the Deaths head rings are supposed to be all 10,000 of them - each one worth a fortune thats where we are headed this year for some tasty metal detecting.
Garry Gemmell so? Any luck?
I think that " Jerry can " is a bloc with something inside! 😮😀
Great hunt an fun at the same time, good luck Dan, keep making these vids they are a true gem.
The thing you found @1.30 is a clock hand. You can see the 'pointy' end where it shows the time, and the other end has the pin where is fixes to the clock face.
That button was fantastic Dan.
Be well,
Al-Fu
Love the way the kid looks doped...
***** ghhghhhhbgbvg
that kid is from my land from holland :) laat je hooren holland !!!
Good video Dan. I'm jealous of the places you get to detect.
the little boys facial expressions had me in histerics

Yes! I love your videos Dan. I'm not even a metal detectorist, and I love watching your stuff. Keep making good videos, and your income will increase.
This is some dutch stuff:
Hallo Deep Digger Dan, ik ben helemaal weg van je filmpjes en ik kijk ze elke keer met mijn vader. Ik en mij vader zoeken ook met de metaaldetector, eigenlijk altijd naar ww2 spullen. We hebben al heel veel gevonden. Ik heb de garret AT pro en mijn vader heeft de Minelab Etrac. Veel succes met de trip naar Berlijn. Houdoe, Lucas.
Lol that was dutch.
Great video . Thx for showing a bit of France. It's brilliant
I like that Patrick. He gets it done. GL&HH
The Chateau at Grimaud has relics dating back to the Roman era. I did not even have to use my metal detector - the finds were so readily accessible .
like your comment about the dutch, Dan, i'm an ex-patriot who has been living in holland for 35 years and it is a strange language an also difficult to learn, but i can translate from dutch-english and from english to dutch
You Sir Dan are true gem on youtube
Great video! Love these shallow digger dave finds, only recently found you, last night
that kid scares me lol
Hes awesome! Apart from the fact that he appears out of nowhere a lot of the time lol
ive only been watching for 1:24 minutes and already love this guy.

Nice tune there, 'my metal detector and I." Ever thought of expanding it, two or three more verses?
this video is hilarious... I like when you cut to patrick cleaning the jerry can in a swampy puddle...
This is June 2022 and I’m back listening to deep digger Dan love it love it
I would have loved to see the inside of that castle next time go to King Henry of France castle if it's still around I would love to travel to all the historic castles an metal detect how cool would that be
Great videos Dan!
Was that kid eating mud? hahaha look at all the mud around his lips hehehe. The little boy is great . He should be a regular star on your videos hehe.
Another great video! But I never doubted it for a moment. =)
That gate hinge, looked like a clock hand, right down to the bit sticking out near the end that would be in the clock face.
In 1966 I recall the moat at Higham Ferrers castle being excavated. Among the relics recovered were steel breastplates and musket balls from the English civil war of 1664. Castles always have relics for discovery if their holders were involved in military conflict.....
Another great video, D.D. Dan!
Really enjoy your videos!
Shallow Digger Dave :D

The writing on the wooden box whitch includes the two bottles in the museum (8:20) means: sulfur-acid
Who's the bum hole that keeps disliking Dan's videos? I can't imagine why you're here watching them, if they're so bad. People are strange...
Dan, you should try Romania. Lots of roman stuff here. It's just that u are not allowed to metal detect the beach. :)
More than that, you will find items from roman times, fighting the Dacians and some amazing dacian items..like these bracelets: media.hotnews.ro/media_server1/image-2012-09-25-13288918-56-bratari-dacice.jpg
He's so funny, are you still doing geocaching? Or what ever it was called.
Hi dan thanks for an interesting adventure again I was especially interested in your location footage and your finds thanks mate hey did you see my pro pointer invention for water hunts I think it was episode 32 it's worth a look if you can and let me know what you think , when it's winter time I'm going to go through all of my videos and write down what's in them.
Take care mate and let me know what you think of the invention would be great
Regards Paul aka Aussie coin hunter
Hi dan could you tell me the locations you visited in this visit museums etc. I used to go bunker exploring & miss it so much.

Hi Dan, I have an AT Pro but I'm saving towards an Excalibur II for underwater detecting. I noticed the Excalibur II you were using in this video and my question is this. Between the AT Pro and the Excalibur II, which one do you like best on land? Is the Excalibur worth the money? Thanks, keep the vids coming!
Dan,
Love your vids! I'm American and live near Frankfurt. I'm going to buy myself my first metal detector soon. Any recommendations? I was thinking maybe a Garrett ATX Pro.

Shallow Digger Dave! :-D
The kid is a lot like me I always wonder around with people that are doing interesting things
"c`moon get in" i love when u say that
Are there less metal detectorists in Germany? I would think so I would be frightened to
dig stuff up there especially the amount of ordinates. Many are live be careful with that shovel!! Great video mate, Cheers, Stockbuar
