A hunt in freezing windy conditions was made more pleasurable by a bit of silver and some more nice buttons. I'm going to get some of the finds made into 'trench art' which will come up in a future video - that should be a great one to watch. Thanks to everyone who views and appreciates the videos. Good Luck and Happy Hunting to all.

Today I'm going to try and avoid the buttons and find some coins.
Now all those buttons I found
in the last video actually came from the Second World War.
There was the National Fire Service based up here
at this big mansion house and in the
surrounding land, so that's where they're all coming from.
So I'm back just off the road where I was the other day.
I kind of did a strip about maybe, I don't know,
20 meters wide by 30 meters with the doss it's quite contaminated there
but as i was working
into the field it was getting less
and less contaminated so today i'm back with
the e-track with the big coil
and i'm hoping to get down a bit deeper into some older history
Um...
The main wealth here was in Georgian times.
Georgian coins are huge, they should give a banging signal.
I just can't seem to find them, so maybe it's this time.
Although it's not raining this time,
it's absolutely freezing and windy,
so hopefully this video won't be affected too much by wind noise.
And I've just realized, looking in the back of this van,
I've left my harness at home.
So I may only do about an hour with the e-track
because with that big coil on it's so heavy
I'll be absolutely knackered after an hour.
So I may well swap back to the Dios.
Now that's interesting. I thought that was actually copper wire,
which we all know was invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny.
But it looks like it may be silver.
It certainly came up reading as silver but I'm not sure. I just
wonder whether there was a spoon on the end of there perhaps.
It's an interesting find anyway.
Well, it's now started snowing and I think I may have my first coin.
Yep, that was pretty deep. It was about nine, ten inches deep.
And that's only from 1962.
Queen Elizabeth II penny.
Looks like another button. Yep, it is indeed.
And it's National Fire Service.
It's a funny imprint.
That's off a three pence coin. It's a 12-sided coin.
One is Elizabeth II from 1957.
Well, that was a hell of a dig.
It's under rocks and everything, that one.
But that's another badge.
It's a National Fire Service one.
See, it's still in pretty good condition.
Look at that.
Got a bit of shine to it.
Here's the one I may or may not have just clipped with a spade.
Oh, yeah, mate.
Looks like an old penny.
Oh, it's actually two pennies stuck together.
There you go.
Yep, definitely just two.
There, they're well and truly fused together there.
1930.
Ah, what the...
Oh, and a one from the 50s or 60s.
Ah ha ha, look at that one. That's a cracker that one.
Almost looks like it's been silver plated.
AFS, auxiliary fire service.
Haven't had a silver one, they've all been kind of brassy coloured.
That's a belter.
Coin ball from about 10 inches
or so. Pretty good, lovely colour.
George V
half penny from 1923.
I've been out about two and a half
hours and I've found a reasonable
The weather has really closed in.
Blowing sleety snow, it's absolutely horrible.
Typical English weather.
But these aren't typical English teeth.
Look at that.
Marvellous.
That's why people ask if I'm a German or an Australian.
Because of the state of my beautiful teeth.
So, what I've done,
I've actually dug five coin balls.
Oh, ----.
I've actually got four fully intact coin balls
and one which is broken.
All right,
the one that's broken
was a George V half penny.
And the idea behind digging these up
and bringing them back to somewhere where it's a little bit calmer was
just to crack them open in front of the camera.
So I'll start with a little one.
I pretty much think this is a modern penny.
And I'm wrong. It's a Threepenny bit.
Next one.
I would love to think that one of these would be gold,
but I don't think you would get
this sort of balling effect around gold.
Although I may be wrong because I have found silver in these before.
And that one's not silver.
It's quite a nicely conditioned penny.
From...
1906, not a bad nick, next one,
my van seat's getting covered
in mucky, I really should
have done this when I got back home,
but a modern penny, tell a lie, modern penny, a
modern two pence, and the last one,
another modern two pence.
Okay, this is a quick rundown of what I found in roughly two
and a half hours, National
Fire Service badges, couple of pre-decimal half pennies,
four pre-decimal pennies, two
Two threepenny bits, two twopences.
A one pence and a twenty pence.
So there's quite a few coins there.
A few buttons.
And I also found this.
This was actually the very first thing
that I dug within about ten seconds of being there.
I think it might be silver.
I'm hoping it's silver.
It certainly gave a silver signal.
And it feels like silver.
But I'm going to wrap a little bit of foil around it with my spit on.
And see if I can smell hydrogen sulphide coming off.
If I can, then it's silver.
Oh, wee eye. Wee eye, that. Silver?
Marvellous. Get all that hockle off it.
That's a pretty substantial little bit of silver, that.
No idea of the period, but I would imagine that it would possibly
be an ornate handle off a little spoon or something.
Perhaps. I'm not sure. Shame it isn't complete.
You can see where it's snapped off there.
But I'm sure at one time that would have
been quite a nice little artefact.
It was a nice short, wet, cold little hunt.
And it was made worthwhile just by finding a little bit of silver.
Mind you, I could have dug the first hole, pulled this out
and then left, I still wouldn't have missed out on much.
But it's just good to dig a few coins up.
Some of them were very deep as well
and they all gave really lovely booming signals.
I was also finding a lot of ring pulls down about 10 inches as well
so I was not too pleased about that.
But one of these days I'm going to dig one of those signals
and it's going to be a lovely ring.
I don't quite know when that's going to happen,
but I'm going to continue digging those ring pull signals.
Basically, any signal that I think may
be a good target is going to get dug.
It means I'm going to end up with pocketfuls of trash,
but there's going to be some good stuff along the way.
Thanks for watching.
