Detecting a new site plus some footage from an old permission.
Plenty of pre-decimal coins and a little bit of silver which is always nice.
Please check out the channels of the guys who were good enough to send me a tips and review video.

Thanks for watching and appreciating my videos.
GL&HH to everyone who liked this video.
Okie-dokie, hello! Welcome back
to another thrilling Ponguru metal detecting video.
On this video I'm on a new permission, but I dropped back onto
an old permission so the footage is a little bit mixed up.
I hope.
I've actually got a claim jumper on one of my old permissions,
so I mixed up the footage with a new permission just to confuse him
so he doesn't go around knocking,
asking for permission on this new permission. Good.
That should have made sense.
Made sense to me, and it was quite a good day.
The last time I went out, I found all modern coins,
apart from one pre-decimal that was 1967
penny, so it was only just pre-decimal. This time...
I think they were nearly all pre-decimal,
and there was a little bit of silver as well, so look out for that.
In this video, I'm using the e-track
with the 13-inch D-Tech Ultimate coil.
It's an excellent coil, great for pasture.
Actually, it's great for everything.
It just hasn't failed me at all.
It really brings the signals to your ears, makes them very loud.
Target separation is excellent, and I absolutely love it.
It's great. So I'm on a couple of different permissions here.
Footage is a bit mixed up, but there's some
fairly good finds and I hope you enjoy it.
This one's reading as a lovely loud 1246 on the e-track.
There's definitely something in there.
I've got an imprint of a coin. At least I hope it's a coin.
Where are we at? Yeah, what a start.
Ah, judging by the thickness of it,
I would say it's a Georgian half penny.
Probably not going to get any sort of detail off that.
But I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Maybe George III, possibly George II,
but I would say more than likely George III, half penny.
This one was reading a nice 11.38.
Very strong signal.
Oh, it's a penny.
1917, so that one's George V.
That's lovely.
There's hardly any muck on it.
Very sandy soil, though.
Nice one.
Very good.
Hopefully there'll be plenty more of those to come.
This one's an extremely loud 1137, so that makes me think that it's a
pre-decimal halfpenny. We shall see.
I would like to think it is because I'm going to do a live dig
and they normally don't go too well for me.
Well, it's in the top.
Ah, it is indeed a halfpenny.
Very good. The power of the e-track does it again.
Whose is that one? George. I can't even
see a head on there. I can read Georgius V I.
George VI. So that'll be quite a late one.
Oh, I can't find the date.
Nope, there it is.
1946.
36.
Oh, this one's reading 946 or 948.
So I'm pretty excited about this one.
It could be big silver.
Or it could be the bottom end of a can or something.
I'm going to take the risk and do a live dig again.
Well,
it's not
silver.
That's one thing.
Hey, what's that?
More than likely a Georgian coin.
But it appears to have pretty good detail around there,
so I'm not going to rub this one too hard.
Looks like a George II halfpenny.
Yes, that's in pretty good condition.
The bust, the dude, is pointing that way.
Aye!
That's in pretty good condition,
so I'm not going to damage that one by scrubbing it with my hands.
But you can read Georgius, aye, aye.
Nope, not George III, just two ayes.
Aye and aye, George II.
George the Second halfpenny in pretty good condition.
Now this one was reading 12.35, but it was jumping around a little bit.
Not only slightly up and down, but also left and right.
And it looks like a ring in there.
Unfortunately, not the right kind of ring,
but one off a horsey sort of attachment.
That was fairly deep.
Seven or eight inches or so.
Gave a hell of a signal.
I'll do yet another live dig because this one's got potential.
I've just had the little round ring from here.
And this one here is reading 1040,
which is in the top right hand portion of the screen on the e-track.
So that's always worth a dig.
Curse of the live
dig strikes again.
Just a lump of bent copper.
You'll notice I'm not using my big proper spade today.
I've actually left that one outside my back door.
Totally forgot about it.
But luckily, I had this little lad in the van.
Otherwise, I'd be digging with my hands.
Now, this was quite a bouncy signal, but it was very strong.
It was kind of leaping around a little bit,
but it was spending a lot of its time
in the top right-hand side of the screen.
And in the bottom of there, which is quite a depth,
looks like we've got a musket ball.
Yeah, lovely big musket ball.
Very good.
That's, how deep will that be?
Eight, nine inches?
And that still gave a really good diggable signal,
if you know what to listen and look for.
A lot of people wouldn't have dug it
because the signal was bouncing and the audio was changing,
but that's a pretty good find. I'm pleased with that.
This was given a humongous signal.
It looks like a bangle of some sort,
possibly gold plated, but I think the actual main metal
isn't anything useful. A quick look for hallmarks just in case it's
gold plated silver, but I've never heard of that before.
There's no marks on there.
It's a bit of a shame. This one's reading 1230.
And, oh, I was just about to say,
it looks like we've got a little goldy button,
but it's actually a sixpence.
1946.
So it's just 50% silver.
But because it's been under all these pine trees,
it's black.
That's George VI.
1946, silver sixpence.
Or at least 50% silver sixpence.
Now I am going to risk another live dig here.
Sixpence was just in here.
And there's another signal here which is reading 1240.
Tell a lie, it's 1243.
Now forgive me if the editing's a little bit bad in this.
This stupid camera keeps switching itself off.
So I think I'm going to need a new one pretty soon.
That one's a Threepenny bit, not silver, unfortunately.
That one's also a George VI.
There you go, there's George VI.
What's that one? 1941.
Now I've gone over this area again and there's yet another signal.
And it's another sixpence.
Now for those of you who like to keep track
of the readings that I give for various coins,
that sixpence that had no silver in it
at all still gave a good signal, but it's reading way
down on this side of the screen.
The silver one read up here and the full silver one would read
a little bit further to the right.
This one was reading 1214 and that is a shilling, not a silver
one unfortunately, but it is Queen Elizabeth II,
so that'll be 50s or 60s I would imagine.
I can't even see the date on it.
Don't believe it.
I had to hack through concrete to get that.
That's what I was hacking through.
Right under that.
It probably was about eight or nine inches down.
But that's an Elizabeth II Threepenny bit.
Still a decent find.
Although I would have preferred
not to hack through the concrete to get it.
Back in another field now.
And unfortunately, I'm going to have
to disturb these lovely little mushrooms.
Or toadstools.
Or magic mushrooms.
This is
reading 1235.
I'll go a little
bit deeper.
Yup, I've got something.
Is there a coin in here?
Oh, get in, there is.
Well, at least there's something coin-shaped, anyway.
God, there's a blackness on that.
It's as black as the night is long.
It's a ha'penny of some sort.
It's a George V ha'penny.
It's in a hell of a state,
so I'm not gonna get a date off that,
but it'll be early 1900s.
Here's another good signal.
It's reading 1238, so I'm thinking possibly penny,
old
penny.
Well, on in at...
A good 8 inches.
Is a George V penny that I've hit with a spade.
Just glad it wasn't a silver one.
Oh, God.
What's the date on that one?
And that's 1915.
Hopefully there'll be a few more in this field.
It's a field that I haven't done before.
So that's two out of three digs in about ten minutes.
Might be pretty good.
There you go, you can see where the penny was.
Stuck in the side there.
That's a cunning old dip.
You have a hell of a good signal as well.
This one was reading a lovely loud...
10.42 and it's another penny, this time 1938
and that's George VI in fairly good condition,
gave a hell of a signal.
Mind you it was only five or six inches down maybe,
hopefully there will be more. Next to Ye Olde Fishing Lake here
and although this has been very worn away
and the land has encroached into the lake,
there is a bankside along here
so I've been detecting for about five minutes along here.
And I've got a signal down here that was reading 1240.
And as I thought, I've got an old penny.
Yeah, that one's George V, and it is 1928.
This looks promising.
This was a really tricky signal from probably a good 10 inches down.
So I'm hoping it's a coin.
Ah, it is a coin.
It's a Threepenny bit from Elizabeth II.
That was a hell of a depth.
I almost didn't dig it.
Well, this one was from, I don't know, 7, 8 inches down.
And it was reading 1239.
Kind of hoping it's another coin.
There's definitely something in there.
Yep, it's another halfpenny.
This one's a ship halfpenny, 1958.
That'll be Elizabeth II.
Got quite a nice patina on it.
Another very loud 1240.
And it's another penny.
It's this one.
19...
1918 or 1913.
18, I think.
Yep, 1918.
Year the First World War broke out.
That one is George V. Yet
another one reading 1238
and yet another penny.
Get in there. That's got a beautiful patina on that one
and it's another 1918 penny.
George V. Lovely. Dark green that. Absolutely lovely.
Look at the patina on that. Absolutely
beautiful. A bit worn on that side but this other side,
the head side, is absolutely hellish.
Nice one. Wahey! Another musket ball.
This time a little one and it wasn't very deep that one.
More or less just in the top two inches
and although it's small it still gave a decent signal.
I try and do the best I can and it's great when people appreciate that.
It's becoming more difficult because of the state of the camera
and it sometimes moves out of focus
and back in focus, sometimes I've got to re-shoot bits.
Bear with me, I'll get there. I'm really
pleased that people enjoy the videos.

Thanks for watching. Another little tip for you,
A Georgian coin, toasted.
But you want to get a little bit of detail off it.
Obviously you can wrap it in olive oil.
But what I tend to do is just flick my light off my phone, shadow it,
and then pick up a bit of lettering
and a bit of tea to go before you put it in your box of shame.
Hey everybody, I have
a great tip for you guys.
When you're in the field and one
and a half hours or an hour away from your car,
I usually get...
thirsty or I would like something to eat
and I don't want to have a backpack with me to
Thank you very much.

and it's the Condor water bottle pouch with a little

So let's do a small review first.

Now I bought two of these and this one I'm going
to keep for myself.
But the other one I will give away in a giveaway video
which I'm releasing on the 1st of November.
I surpassed 750 subscribers and I
also surpassed 100 metal detecting videos.
So it's time for a giveaway video.
Let's start the video.
This will be, I think,
at least one of the prizes you can win in my giveaway video.

It would be much appreciated.
So thank you very much.

This
one's
reading
045 or 46,
I think.
No, tell a lie.
What is it reading?
There's a blackness on that, it's as black as the night is long.
Forget that.
This one was reading 12, no, what was it reading?
On this hunt I'm using the, no,
am I using the Deus, what the hell am I using?
On this hunt I'm using the E-Track with a 13 inch D-Tech.
That's a George VI,
so it's one of the later ones
and it's out of the gun.
that's George V.
I never plan what I'm going to say or do,
I just spit it straight off the top of my head.
And sometimes my thoughts just get stuck mid-sentence,
and I have to cut it and redo that sentence.
Who is me, my camera is broken.
Nice
one.
