Glad you're on the mend.. Great video as always.. What's the make and model of your new magnifying glass please?
I found it on Amazon.... haven't used it enough to tell you if its any good; i took a punt on the reviews etc I saw on Amazon its a NOEVSBIG 2-in-1 Magnifying Desk Lamp, Hope that helps
@@HolzHammerSagas thank you.. I'll have a look 😊
@@dl9320 👍its not a bad one actually now I have had a couple of gos with it!
@@HolzHammerSagas good enough magnification for mechanical cleaning with sharp tools Alex?
Oh gosh, I really don’t know! I’m no expert in magnifying tools I really like it it’s not too big or clumsy like the other one and at £47 or whatever it was I was willing to take a risk… Please don’t blame me if you don’t like it but if you do please use my link - you will find it in the description on my latest video… It means I get looked after a bit as well if enough people buy things from Amazon and that might eventually make all the hard work I put into these videos worthwhile!😂
Never get bored watching and listening Alexander. Please get well soon. If I were closer I'd definitely be a willing volunteer.
Thats very kind of you Roly, thank you! And hope all well with you! All the Best, Alexander
Great to see you up and about, Alex, and thank you for another excellent day out. I would have loved to give you a hand, especially since my ancestors were East Anglians, but unfortunately I'm in New Zealand and house-bound. All the best, and be careful not to overdo it!
Sorry to hear that - I hope you manage to get out of bit... and glad to know that your ancestors were from here; mine were originally from Germany but we settled in East Anglia in the early 20th century... so the other way round to you! Anyway, hope all well and all the best, Alexander
Another excellent video and history lesson Alexander, your channel is one of the highlights I look forward to every week, so thank you once again.
All the best Arthur 😊
Arthur that is so nice of you to say so - thank you very much that's cheered me up! I think I've got at least another week at home not doing anything so I'll get that coin sorted out this week too! All the best come Alexander
Best wishes for a full recovery Alex. Delighted to hear you will continue with the vids which are always so very interesting. You certainly extract more from pasture than I even manage, I really must have more faith in that hot programme.
Definitely lower the reactivity: - it really does help and keep your ears really open for tiny wispy sounds without any iron grunt at all - That's what you've got to be looking out for to start with... I only really go for those really iffy targets which sound quite irony as a last resort as they do 50% turn out to be iron but you've got to give it a chance when nothing else is coming up...hope that helps! And all the best, Alexander
Three lovely finds, well done Alexander
Thanks Graham! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
I’m in Cumbria but stick me a tent up and I’d help for nothing!! Can’t think of anything better😊 love this channel best on RUclips by a long way!😊
Thank you very much Mark!!! 🙏
Thanks Alexander for another lovely episode in a day in the life, of a fine detectorist.
Hope you get well soon and are out there again in no time, making these wonderful video's for us all to be envious over👍
Nice to hear from you bodger and hope all well with you too... today is the first day I am feeling a bit more pain free so maybe soon...! 🤞
@@HolzHammerSagas Glad to hear that Alexander - good luck to you👍
@@bodgerpete1 you too Bodge!
How very refreshing to see someone who has actually taken the time to study the history of the things they find I.e. Tetrarchy etc .there are so many on u tube who are giving the hobby a rather seedy facade .that coin follis,unsure at this distance ?.new to your channel really very very good and educational .Dave Jeffries,derby ,detecting 45years ,current machine xp Deus lite .I,LL have to watch the whole series now .bravo .
Thanks David and good to know another Deus Lite user! You have a bit more experience than me! And thanks for watching and commenting - this was really nice to read! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
I meant it all as a compliment so Informative and useful to me .I,m a relative newbie to the xp Deus lite approx a year but I instantly gelled with it .am going to try hot with 4khz and reactivity dropped to 2.5. .Henry debased the silver coinage to such an extent that the coins started to taken on a decidedly red hue after a few years earning him the name old coppernose .as of yet I,ve not managed to find one as good as yours .well done good show .you certainly are so right too about deep programme and coke .thanks for reply .
Thanks for taking the time to post up more videos for us especially after your surgery, glad to see you’re recovering well. It’s nice when you pull out a Roman bronze in that condition, well found.
Good luck in finding someone to dig your holes I bet you’ll get bombarded with offers especially with the stunning finds you get on your permissions.
Keep up the good work 👍
Hah! Thank you very much Darren! I'm afraid whoever comes to help me, if I do manage to get someone, won't be able to do you that much digging I will need to looking much looking after myself! 😂And Tasci, but I will be very willing to throw in a bit of XP day is tuition to ever is as well! If needed! Hope all well with you and all the best, Alexander
😆 pick someone who’s physically fit, I bet tasci will run them ragged if he’s being a little rascal.
Will look forward to your next video. 👍
Hi Alexander, my gast has never been so flabered when l saw those 3 coins!! Fantastic. I also live in East Herts and would give my right arm to help you. Sadly age and dodgy knees kind of kicks that into touch!!
So glad the surgery went well. Look forward to videos at HQ, all the best, John.
Thank you John! I still may need to call you up on duty as you are very close - I'll get you a nice shooting stick/ seat to use! 😁 Hope all well! Thank you for watching!
Amazing video Alexander, Large Roman coin is great! I've only ever found small romans, and Hammered coins too! Thanks for the history of the roman coins, If I was living near your area I would have volunteered to assist you on your digs while you're recovering! Wish you all the best in recovery and good luck with more interesting finds! Keep posting,
Thank you very much Dave, much appreciated and thanks for the offer it would've been fun to have had you along! Hope all well with you and all the best, Alexander
I've only recently found you!
I'm absolutely loving your channel, so very different and so wonderfully quirky . I've been detecting for 44 years and share your great love and enthusiasm for our hobby.
I really appreciate the effort you've put into making these fun and informative videos.
Thank you
Thank you very much Jay that was much appreciated! I am glad to have such an experienced metal detectorist on board! Hope all well and all the best, Alexander
Another fascinating watch Alex - and good to hear you are on the mend Sir.
Thank you very much - that's much appreciated! Still quite painful but that's going to take awhile I think… all the best, Alexander
Glad the operation went well, you'll be back in the feild in know time, great video 👍
Lets hope so SD! And hope all well with you! All the best, Alexander
Good to see you again. Hope your recovering well. The three coins were fantastic. See you on the next. Cheers Alex! 😊
No problem, thanks Martin! 🙏 Hope all well!
Love the way you ask for help then slip in ‘for a few months’ at the end 😂 Clever!
I’ll pretend I didn’t watch the first few minutes whilst you talked about the Roman coin pollution on your field and just concentrate on the last bit. The Henry was lovely. I have never found a fat face one so jealous. Most survive in awful condition anyway. Debased silver corrodes very badly a lot of the time. The Roman nail cleaner was cracking too. Bet you are itching to get out there.
Cath even you must have appreciated the Maximian coin???!!!! It is like it was dropped straight out of the "mint" and you wait til I have cleaned it!
It is a stunning example but even that one I can’t get excited about. I have tried honestly but no not a flicker of interest 🫤
Hi Ally 👋, great portrait of Old Henry ,looks pretty fierce lol, so glad op went OK..💗 you will know when you are in tip top shape again, when you are able to do the "le Danse de Zaouli or " le Masque Zaouli " something worth a little researching Lol 😆 Ally you should be at your peak of fitness if you try to do this dance when you find your next Gold coin 🪙 Ahahha don't forget to film it though!!!...🤣😂😆Loads love xxxShaz &Terry 💗
Well that will give me something to look up later Shaz, thank you! I certainly won't be doing any dancing any time soon though… in fact it's a bit more painful this morning having been pottering around a bit yesterday to try and get some exercise - Anyway we'll see how we get on… really hope all very well with you and Terence and thank you very much for forgetting in touch -it's comments like yours that are cheering me up at the moment XXX
Thank you so much again for video, I always learn so much from them and the way you explain things is really good.
Thank you very much SS, much appreciated and I'm really glad you enjoyed the videos! Hope all well with you and all the best, Alexander
Most people miss that the key to success is persistence, not giving up until success is achieved. Most stop short and give up. Cheers
Ps, If I wasn't so busy selling yachts right now, I'd fly over and be your designated digger. Cheers again
Ha! Thanks Rhett!!!! 🙏 Glad the yachts business going well! All the Best, Alexander
Glad you dodged the reaper! You’ll be back in no time just keep putting one foot in front the other.😊 amazing collection of finds and if you ever arrange a dig I would be happy to scoot the pond to lend a hand. Take care and thanks for sharing & the new table & HQ view is 👍🏻!
Ha! Thanks BC!!!!😁👍 Hope all well with you!!!!
First time viewer and new subscriber from USA (Utah). Beautiful coins and relic finds, thanks for sharing!
Not at all Gary, thank you very much for watching (and subscribing!) Hope all well with you - It's got very cold over here again...what's it like in Utah?! All the Best, Alexander
That Henry is a stunner too.
Thanks David! I've not found that many HVIIIs... always a pleasure! Hope all well!
Alexander great to see you up and about. Keep yourself busy but don't overdo it your viewers understand. Excellent hunt and enjoyed your adventure as always. Stay well mate.
Al, NJ, USA
Thank you very much Al, much appreciated! I think I may push myself a bit too much yesterday as I'm hurting a bit more this morning… i'll take it easy again! Anyway, hope all well with you over there and all the best, Alexander
East Anglia......im looking to move there, North Norfolk area. Holiday there, love it. Been looking for a while now.
Will have to hurry up!!!!
Love the Henry V111. Never forget he was my very first hammered coin i found.
Keep the videos coming Alex, take care now. X
Thank you very much Amanda, Let me know when you get to North Norfolk and I will come and help you detect up there! 🙏😂 and Henry VIII is a great Monarch to find isn't he - I haven't I really found that many up from him so very lucky you too! Anyway, hope all well with you and all the best, Alexander
Firstly, good to hear you are on the mend. You are one of my favorite channels. Love the effort you put in, not only in the video side of things but the history. I enjoy the back-to-headquarters segments. You are very knowledgeable and interesting. Those were 3 fantastic coins. Again, keep up the great work. Will be looking forward to more of your 'headquarters' content. Don't overdo it and chin up mate. All the best. Paul
Thank you very much Paul!!! Hope all well down there; presume thats where you are! Anyway, thanks for watching and All the Best, Alexander
@HolzHammer Sagas Thanks mate, actually I live in the US now (last 23 years). 👍
@@irokradio Ha! I didn't want to presume! Hope all well!
Only just discovered your channel Alexander and your videos are great. Thank you so much for producing them.
Not at all Stephen- thank you 🙏 for watching them! All the Best, Alexander
Incredible. I am a bit speechless. And the history you explained is always fascinating, thank you
Thanks Nathaniel - hope all well with you!
Hey Al, would love to see a tour of your fabulous house as a fellow antiquarian. Enjoy looking at your stuff as well as your finds. ✌️
Thanks Richard, I may well do that one day - might be fun! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best!
Looks like I have to book a flight to Stansted and bring a shovel. 😂😂 Congrats on the coins, and nail cleaner. Best wishes, with a speedy revocery.
Thanks Knut - I have a shovel for you here you dint need to bring your own! 😂 Hope all well wit you over there and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander
well Alex welcome back...hope the op went well , yes this hobby is inexplicable sometimes...that Roman coin is in great condition & the Henry (old copper nose)...i had a 3 week period last year where i found 3 of those, thankfully the copper isnt showing on any of them, the 3rd one is broken and just shows his face, well try to take it easy...(if you rush into detecting again you may regret it..and take you longer to recover)...so take care GL&HH for when you do get out (with an assistant...lol) well if you don't ask you won't get...ATB Gordon.
Very good advice Gordon, thank you in fact I pottered around a little bit too much yesterday I think and it's a bit more painful this morning… i'll try and take it easy for a few days. And you are the third person to tell me about coppernose… I never knew that! So I'm learning too! Thank you! Anyway,, hope all well with you and thank you for watching all the best, Alexander
An excellent day saving flourish,you never know how the finds will flow.
Hope you mend well and fast.
Thank you very much Paul, much appreciated - I think I'm on the mend! And hope all well with you, all the best, Alexander
Great to see the super thanks option. Very happy to support the channel Alex 👍
Gosh Thank you Richard 🙏 I had forgotten about that it doesn't get used much!!!! 😂 Hope all well with you!
My pleasure 😎 I’ve said it before. It’s always a good day when I wake up and get to see your adventures 👍👍 Easily the best content on our hobby on RUclips.
@@daviskites well that's easily the nicest thing to read first thing in the morning! Thank you Richard
Hope you managed to watch before I put the ads in during the video which I do after about 12 hours…😂
@@HolzHammerSagas I’m a RUclips premium subscriber. I hesitated for a good while, but it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Watching stuff on RUclips without ads is a game changer. Part of my morning routine is watching RUclips for about an hour. Always learning new things.
Hope you’re feeling better. I am in he U.S. and really enjoy watching your videos. I appreciate the extra time you take filming, and the mini different angles that you use. I’ll be coming to Colchester in April for a 10 hunt and just trying to learn as much as possible. Keep up the great work my friend.
Thank you very much Double G Digs - I am feeling a bit better now thank you! Colchester is a great area full of history as you probably know so you have a good time I'm sure and please let me know how you get on! Hope all well with you and all the best, Alexander
stunningly crisp bronze roman !
wasn't even aware that Follis once used to be that big
already spent days on the field I was yesterday without finding much, but this time finally broke the damn curse - among the lesser finds after almost 4 hours; a continental coin that looks nothing at all like the contemporary english coins; a Hamburger Hohlpfennig
dunno if there was usage for such odd coins in England but maybe for their silver value alone some of them ended up there (although I never saw an Englishman finding one)....especially Hamburg itself had good trade connections with England....
so if you ever come across a weird dirty grey "foil lid" with a ring indentation at the edge, maybe don't throw it right away 😁
get well soon ! the coins are missing you 😁
Wow, a Hamburger Hohlpfennig! That's something else! But it can be a real surprise what one finds in reveals the fields cant it??! What did that date to? All sorts of reasons in the 13th to 15th century is quite a lot of the Continental still that was interchangeable with our English currency mainly due to time is when there was a lack of it coming out in England - maybe that is the answer… anyway, thank you very much for watching and commenting - much appreciated Feldgeist, and all the best, Alexander
@@HolzHammerSagas getting surprised again and again is the best part of the hobby.....if positively surprised and apparently this one field of mine is under a bad spell once more ....
gotta rant extensively before addressing relics.....(that damn field !)
you know, before the lucky hunt the field revealed just one better corner with an extra stylish 13th cent. harness mount being the best find of several visits
---
lucky hunt started with a piece of 16g hacksilver right away in the first hole and a disc brooch ca 900 AD in the 4th
also found a nicely crafted, casket mount, ca 900 too, next to another 11g of hacksilver and a 14g flat molten silver nugget (very close to each other, almost same hole - maybe hoard sign), and a lead seal matrix, 1350ish and other bits & bobs from medieval times
a assumingly early medieval biconical tin bead amongst them (rather rare - our soil tends to eat tin fast)
only very few modern trash
---
yesterday I continued to search just where I have stopped and the result was *vir-tu-al-ly NOTHING* !
same settings, same bad weather, same area
was the area I crossed before getting to the brooch spot
the same area where I got the first silver and a late early-medieval looking sorta-chape-thing in the 3rd hole, but this time nothing turned up around there
even the old trace trash like severely corroded lead crap or vessel shards etc pretty much absent
but copious amounts of aluminium and other modern stuff I was compelled to find
another spindle whorl was the best find of the day ....the most boring type imaginable, basically a undecorated thick lead washer 👍 thanks field....
---
sorry for the rant, but the crushing defeat during the last hunt still frustrates me !
as if this cursed field tries to taunt me
"see what's possible here and have some of the sweet relics you always expected ! feel motivated enough again ? well okey doky then and back to the trash it is, ahahahahaha...."
Hohlpfennig has a smooth rim, so it's pre 1369
being more a relic guy rather than a numismatist but as a broad rule you can say that hollow pennies with a smooth rim were common in the 13th and most of the 14th cent and the later ones usually are showing some sort of decoration/legend
if dirty enough they all can look like overpronounced foil seal-caps of bigger tubes tho - as big as longcross penny but with the weight of a farthing ....paper thin foil, quickly getting airborne if not dirty enough....
btw, do you have any idea why I don't see enough of another continental and easily disregarded "currency", meaning regular hacksilver, being found in England ?
they mixed some horrible billon back in the viking days, most likely adding plenty of lead
often hacked ingot pieces are looking just totally like lead - brown-grey or dirtyellow-white to true white
can't say how often they tricked me for a while but it surely was pretty often !
any chance that they're frequently misidentified as cut pieces of hard lead alloy (which tbh the more "watered" down ones probably sometimes kinda are)
they are super common on early medieval sites here and it's really strange that you find that few overthere ...especially in the former Danelaw....
what a article of an answer (that damn field !)
but since you are advised to spend more time indoors and live in a area with Hohlpfennig and Hacksilber potential, hopefully worth a read
also, sometimes it's just better to like sorta read orsomething and simply not to go out (that damn field!)
cheerio !
Cursedgeist🤐
There is those two guys that made a TV show one time , maybe they want to get Detectorist-ing again and help you.
That would be very nice Nick! Hope all well with you and thanks for watching - All the best, Alexander
Fantastic video as always Alexander. Stunning finds my friend. Can’t wait for the behind the desk videos, sounds like you’ve got some great topics coming up. Get well soon, and thanks for sharing.
Not at all Steve - and thank you for watching! Hope all well!
nice to see your surgery was successful, Tasci keeps an eye on you for sure! the Maximian coin is just a Hammer! Well I would like to assist you, I just need to cross the channel but I would really love it

And may you have a swift recovery.
Thank you Luke! 🙏 And hope all well with you! All the Best, Alexander
Hi Alex, I have been watching your videos for some time now and I really enjoy them. I have been detecting for 3 years and also use the XP Deus lite so your videos are a great help . I live in Suffolk so am pretty well connected as far as it goes in East Anglia, if you still need help I would be honoured to assist you. I am 19 years old and know a bit about filming too, it would be great to learn and see how you make your videos. Keep up the good work. Charlie
Thank you very much Charlie, and thank you very much for getting in touch - I will definitely keep you in mind you sound ideal! I still don't know what I'm capable of at the moment so watch this space -anyway, hope all well thank you very much for watching. All the best, Alexander
Hello and G-Day Alexander and Tasci. Very glad everything went well for you my friend. Been moving house but unfortunately there's a rental crisis here in Australia which is making it hard to find a new place. Fantastic finds you will have to go back and grid that field 😁🍀. Wish I could come and dig your plugs for you😂. Take care mate and looking forward to seeing that Roman coin all cleaned up. Those Hammered coins are unreal i love seeing them, remarkable history you have. All the best Alexander and a speedy recovery. 👍✌️🦘🇦🇺🐨
Gosh Alan, I hope you find somewhere it's all a bit of a nightmare moving house I've done it several times over the last 10 or 12 years also I really hate it and really feel for you. Maybe you should come over and help me for awhile you can stay in my spare room!😂 hope all well all the same and all the best, Alexander
😳 Wow Alex!! Days like that you dream about! Fabulous coins! Congrats on the goodies and a highly entertaining video! Thanks for taking us along!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Not at all Ray thank you for watching!!! Hope all well!
Wow!, Love those coins Alex, (and there was me, delighted with my George Vi half-silver shilling fronm this afternoon...) 😂🤣 I was thinking about your offer too, sounds like a fantastic opportunity for me to finally find a decent coin or 2... How's about I came down and we shoot 1 or 2 videos? I can obvs. dig for you, but also help out editing (and with the 'dreaded' sound...) 😂🤣 Anyways, hav a quick think, and we can get some emails going if so... (It's a good time for me atm, as I'm not working regularly, so a change of scenery wud be excellent!...) Ttfn and all best, Bobby 🦝
Thanks Bobby, i think I may have to start an interview process! Your skills would certainly be an asset! 😁 And nothin wrong with a George VI silver either! Hope all well - I'll be in touch! All the Best!
@@HolzHammerSagas Great stuff Alex - we can def. spend a little time looking at your sound stuff... 🙏 I think you've got my emails hey? but gimme a knock pls., if struggling to find me... B 🐃
Henry 8th used to debase his coins like crazy,up to 70% copper,he was called copper nose back then as the high point rubbed off leaving him a copper nose.Overseas stopped taking his coinage,as they wern't worth face value
Thank you very much MrSkooty, I seem to be the only person in the country who didn't know about these coins being called "coppernose" - very good knowledge!!! I certainly won't forget it! Anyway, hope all well with you and thanks for watching. All the best, Alexander
Well, that was an amazing hunt. The Roman, I have never seen anyone dig up. And a few years of watching videos and only seen Henry 8th like that maybe 3 times. I wish I lived there or could take an extended vacation there and be your dogs body. Getting to know not only you, but knowing Tasci would be great fun. I am good at digging and toting. I do hope you are taking it easy. It took me a few days to get to your video because it has been very busy around here, but today has been a minor ice storm with a mess of it more tomorrow. Having to cancel appts and put off errands because I have to go down a steep hill to get to town, then drive back up it to get home. But not like I don't have plenty of puttering to do to keep me occupied.
Gosh Ciydye that all sounds like a bit of a nightmare hope everything returns back to normal soon for you… And it would've been fun for you to have come over here and to look after my detecting needs for awhile!😂 anyway, hope all well regardless and all the best!
Unfortunately, I'm in Salisbury, but I would love to be in a position to help you out. I love listening to your knowledgeable talks on your finds
Salisbury is a lovely place to live Andy lucky you and thank you very much all the same! All the best, Alexander
What a cracking three coins Ally, my favourite has to be that whopper of a Roman! I’ve just watched your ‘how to’ videos & just love listening to you mate, so knowledgable & entertaining. Likewise I had no idea you were going under the knife! I hope you are swiftly on the mend & do feel free to stick me on the helpers list if I can assist in any way. You’re not far from me & can always let you have a swing of the Manticore too 😊 get well soon my friend
All good here thanks Marcus and sort of on the mend… Don't know how long it's going to take there it's a bit boring… I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to do but you are very high up on my list thank you very very much - much appreciated and hope all well
Great Video as always. Wishing you a very speedy recovery. Looking forward to your more tutorial videos whilst you recover fully. Rest and be well.

Another amazing video and the finds wow. If i wasn't so far away I'd be there tomorrow. Would lovev to learn some secrets 😉alas Australia is not next-door. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Australia is definitely not knock next door Angela! I did it once it almost killed me that trip! Hope all well with you and thank you very much for watching - All the best, Alexander
Hope you heal quickly. I would love to help you, but it would have be another time since I'm in the U.S. I am still working and have to plan ahead. Cracking finds! The videos are first class all the way.
Thank you very much Chuck and that's very much appreciated! I understand that you can't come in helping all the way over there by the way but thanks for thinking about me 😂!
Anyway, hope all well with you and thanks very much again all the best, Alexander
Like London buses Alexander, none for ages then they come in multiples. Great to see Tasci being a good boy. Hope you are back to your best soon.
Me too John! But by the way I feel now it's going to take longer than I hoped… Anyway, hope all well with you and thank you very much for watching exclamation mark all the best, Alexander
@@HolzHammerSagas Some sympathy with your health issues. My mother goes into hospital on Friday morning for a knee replacement and she is 90, so she will be out of action for months. Added to that her hearing aids have had to be repaired, her fridge is packing it in and her car has gone in for repairs to a few accidents she had last month. So, too many things going wrong at the same time which happens too often for too many people. Anyway, best of luck for your recruiting of an assistant and your next visit to that brilliant pasture.
@@John-re2qw Crikey your poor Mum John I am sorry, I really hope she can get over all these obstacles how very annoying and worrying for everyone.. Hope you are all ok
@@HolzHammerSagas Thanks for the kind thoughts. Unfortunately it got worse. I took her into hospital at 7am this morning, she was admitted, then an hour later they rang saying the operation had to be cancelled because there wasn't a bed available. Why admit someone if there wasn't an available bed? It doesn't fit their statement that they are striving to provide the best possible care. That is the fourth cancellation in twelve months and she was on a waiting list for three years before that. So now she may decide not to have the operation at all. I hope you don't have any obstacles with your situation.Take care.
I am sending congratulations from the Czech Republic. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you very much Šumava - that's really kind! And hope all well with you over there! All the best, Alexander
would love to take you up on your offer I'm in North Hampshire I'm retired and I have a motorhome so I could come there in that and stay whenever. the only thing I would like in return is to do a bit of detecting myself on the odd occasion. absolutely love the hobby, had a detector for a year and only used it once. and love you channel
Thank you very much RR, and that's a very kind offer - I'm not sure how much I can do at the moment but I will certainly keep you in mind 🙏 Anyway, thank you very much for watching and all the best, Alexander
Nice finds, enjoy your videos as you don’t holler and carry on
Ha! Thanks David! Much appreciated and hope all well! All the Best, Alexander
Beautiful coins! Congrats! HH and all the best, Lucky. 🙂
Thank you very much lucky, much appreciated and really hope all well with you too! All the best, Alexander
Ha ha Alex loved the background sounds cheers and moans. Great coins all three. Would love to be your caddy but unfortunately I two have to go in for pre op in two weeks and will be out of action for a good few weeks😥. So get yourself up and about and keep up the videos love what you do all the best Alan.
Thank you very much Alan! And I really hope it all goes well for you and that you will be up and about to soon! All the best, Alexander
Well done Alex, great finds & good luck for more when you’re better, take care.
Thanks !!! Hope all well with you!
New sub from across the pond in New England. Really enjoy your vids, including your short history lessons! I detected in England just last fall for the first time and can't wait to go back! New England metal detecting is great - but there's nothing like finding Medieval or Roman.
Thank you very much BTV Digger - Much appreciated! Where did you come last time you were over here? Hope you found some good things and let me know if you come back! All the best, Alexander
@@HolzHammerSagas Thanks Alexander! We were in the Manningtree area, namely Ardleigh and Elmstead. A bit in Wix also. Some good fields there.
great thing! was outside too..was io..24 a thaler 1786..silver..janz many greetings..stephan🍀✌
Well done Stephan - good work! And hope all well!
Wow....very detailed coins and such great shape!!
Well I do hope you are better soon Alex and take care of yourself too!!
Thanks Tim! I will email you later! Hope all well!
Thank you for this very interesting informative video on these coins if I lived closer I would love to help you detecting. I wish you a speedy recovery Alex. Len
Very kind of you Len thank you!!! Hope all well with you!
Great finds again. Hope you find someone to help you.
Thanks Steve! Hope all well!
I really enjoy watching your videos you are one of the best channels I subscribe to if not the best and most interesting one I watch thank you for your videos
That's really kind of you to say so Frederick - Much appreciated and comments like that really cheer me up at the moment! Hope all well with you and all the best, Alexander
Thank you
Another lovely video with great finds. Really like the Henry VIII - I expect you know that's why they called him Old Coppernose, because the nose on those coins tended to wear to a copper colour. And, well shit, I'm off to Borneo for February otherwise I could have been your caddy - when I'm off shift I really am off for around four weeks but that will be March. Hopefully you'll no longer be disabled then. Anyway I'm sure youll have plenty of volunteers.
Didn't know about Old Coppernose Stefan... good knowledge!!!! And thanks for the offer; hope all going well in Borneo and yes, hopefully I will be back to being on all four c's come March... we'll see... All the Best, Alexander
Nice finds excellent but you do make it look very easy 🥴 get well soon ok from Claire
Thanks Claire!!!! Speak tomorrow!
Great video as always. Very enjoyable as always. Get well soon Alexander, look forward to your HQ videos.
Thank you very much Anthony, much appreciated and I hope you enjoy the upcoming HQ stuff! All the best, Alexander
Well done Alex. Another fantastic day! Keep those videos coming👍
Will do Mick - thank you! 🙏 Hope all well!
I always enjoy you films 👍
Thanks MM - much appreciated and hope all well! All the Best, Alexander
Get well soon Alex best wishes
Thanks Tony! 🙏 Hope all well with you too and All the Best, Alexander
Hello Alex,
I’d be happy to help. I’m based in bishops stortford which I believe is very close to yourself and have been detecting my own permissions around the area for a while.
I work full time but available every weekend as I’m usually out myself. Be great to meet and have a swing.
Let me know :)
Cheers,
Kane
Hi Kane,
You are very close - I grew up near Widford. Anyway, thanks for reaching out - very kind and All the Best, Alexander
@@HolzHammerSagas
Ah yeah very close.
I wouldn’t know how to go about private messaging etc but if needed I’m free on the weekends just let me know.
Best of luck with recovery :)
Look forward to future content.
@@KaneNicholson thank you! 🙏
Well done stunning finds Alexander 👍if you were closer to where I live I would of loved to help out 👍 but never mind
Good luck and get well soon 👍😊
Thats very kind of you anyway, thank you Peter and hope all well! All the Best, Alexander
Gosh I would love to carry your spade and look after the woof but we live in Whitby. Get well soon
Yes, that is a bit too far Martin but thank you anyway! Hope all well with you - nice place to live Whitby I would have thought! All the Best, Alexander
I subbed to your other channel, Metal Detecting Finds UK... I seldom mention another channel in posts... but I noted her missing in the channels... have you heard of Nicola White...? She is the Queen of Mud Larks on the River Thames... based in London, even... more than worthy of a look... trust you are feeling well and keep on hunting!
Thank you Dean! I have definitely heard of Nicola White but haven't really watched much of her stuff… I will do now thank you! All the best, Alexander
Another great video with fantastic coins. So sorry to hear you are not one hundred percent. I wish you a speedy recovery. I live in Wiltshire a bit too far to help you or I would. Take care of yourself.
Thats really kind of you thanks Robert but yes Wilts is a bit too far... has your coin sold? All the Best, Alexander
Hi Alexander, No, my coin has not been sold yet. It was shown last month at a Spink auction in New York but not for sale. Spink are waiting for the right auction to sell it.
@@robertwhittingham2855 Im sure thats right - no point in rushing it and good to wait maybe until people are in the mood to spend... 👍
these roman coins are so nice i found a diocletian in a very incredible condition very similar to yours its so incredible t think of the age
Beautiful aren't they?! Thats the best one I have found and well done on your Diocletian! All the Best, Alexander
Glad it went well and your on the mend great finds there love the history to 👍I would have loved to come and do the digging for nothing unfortunately I've got some family commitments at moment but good luck 🍀👍
Thank you very much Jesse, and I hope your family commitments are not too serious and something that you can deal with. And thank you very much for watching as always! All the best, Alexander
well done alex great finds...
Thanks Dazza! Hope all well!
Another awesome video, very jealous, would love to find a roman coin, need a detector first tho lol, and the Henry 8th aka copper nose coin, AWESOME!!
get well soon, PS if I was local I'd definitely help
Thank you Anthony that's really kind of you! I think I might try and do a video on how to begin metal detecting on my other channel that might interest you 😊 anyway, hope all well and thank you very much for watching - All the best, Alexander
Another good video Alex , I know what it's like when you can't get out, you just keep thinking I've missed another good day, well I've missed many as I have told you , just hope your backs oon.
Yes John - I now realise how it feels... hope all well with you as well! All the Best, Alexander
Great finds ahgain, you are lucky with a field like that. Would love to join you in East Anglia, but from Barcelona it is a bit too much commuting. Getting along well with my new Deus, I love that it is wireless. Had some very interesting finds that I have not been able to determine, will try on the detectinghub. Get well soon and all the best.
Definitely get on the detecting hub Corne they are very handy and they're a nice bunch -always good to introduce yourself quickly first - they like that! And lucky you living in Barcelona I've only been there a couple of times but it's a wonderful city hope they let you detect those little beaches for all the Euros people must drop! All the best, Alexander
@@HolzHammerSagas I work for the euros but I live for the antique stuff. I always first drive half an hour to reach hunting grounds.
@@cornekoppelaar4631 😁
Yet another fantastic video! And amazing finds! Loved learning about the Roman emperors
I’d absolutely love to help you detect Alex! I have plenty of spare time…if you are able to drive you are more than welcome to help me detect the 13 farm permissions I have here in Hereford & worcester 👍👍
But please, drop me a message and I’ll get over as soon and as often as possible
Regards
Tom
Thank you very much Tom that's a really kind offer and I'll definitely keep you in mind! I still haven't quite worked out what I can and can't do yet… Anyway, hope all well with you and thank you very much for watching as always that's all the best and hope you are finding a bit as well!
Fantastic video yet again, pity Derbyshire is quite a distance from you, otherwise it would be great to meet you and give you a hand.
It is a bit too far Tim but thank you anyway - much appreciated! And hope all well with you!
Hi Alex, hope you recover soonsoon. Cuddle your retriever-foxy for me please. Enjoying the history lectures. Thanks for that. Take care.
Where in East Anglia are you located Alex? I am near Bungay,13 miles from Norwich….if you aren’t too far away me or my son could help you? Hope you recover quickly and always enjoy your vids. Tim.
Thank you Tim, that's a very kind offer and when I will definitely keep in mind - I'm not sure what I'm able to do at the moment I'm certainly going to have to wait a week or so… anyway, hope all well with you and your son and thanks for watching! All the best, Alexander
Alex it would be useful to know where your roman coins were minted, hope you are getting to 100% fitness now. What actually happened to the mints? Sorry if I am being troublesome but I know you are a wealth of knowledge. Also as I live in Flintshire where the Romans mined silver and lead where was the nearest mint to Chester what's it the city itself Deva?
Hi Nigel , hope al well - I'm no expert on mints but there will be plenty on google and there were a lot all round the Roman Empire ,from London to Alexandria and Siscia etc All the Best, Alexander
I would be honoured and help you for free Alexander 🙏 😊 the henry coins ended up with 70% copper content 😀 he got found out that's why they called him old copper nose 👃 😄 brilliant video as always Alexander as ive said before by far the best content on here👌 👏👏👏
Very kind of you to say so Rob thank you!!! 😂 Someone else has mentioned Coppernose I had no idea... good knowledge! 👏 Hope all well with you!
@HolzHammer Sagas there's no other metal detecting channel close to your content so ty👏👏👏
@@robquince3076 Thanks Rob!!! 😁
I would be happy to help you out on a couple of days should you need it. I don’t now how to send messages (I’ll ask the children), I’m not an expert rather a history enthusiast. I live in Essex if that in the locale that would be helpful. Keep on keeping on, your videos are outstanding. James
Some very lovely coins. You're right there is no explaining this hobby.. Hours of nothing and then the most unexpected, beautiful surprises. Great stuff @HolzHammer
