As a master gardener I have been dying to see the convent gardens - last year's clean up was so exciting and many interesting features were uncovered. Selfishly I wish equal time could be given to the garden and grounds as there is to the interior. The garden restoration project could be a new channel entirely for Billy and friends.
Definitely exciting. I keep thinking that there might be master gardeners (my mother in law was one, studied plant grafting at a botanic garden, among other things), who might volunteer, with helpers, to restore much of the gardens, once the heavy clearing is done. Another Petherick's You Tube channel??? I see the fruit trees, etc., especially since Alex has been filming, & wonder if they could be "saved."
It was awesome seeing the knowledge presented by Simon. It was also nice to hear Janis speaking English for once, directly at the camera. Billy should be proud of both Simon and Janis!
I’ve noticed that Ryan is way more’ sedate ‘ when Billy isn’t around…. Shows just what a close friendship they have to be able to joke around ❤ Simon - now there’s a mind I’d love to pick ! He’s so calm , so Zen ! I’d love to know more about him 🙏 Yannis - your English is getting better every day 🎉. Love to know more about you too !!
I agree, if only my boss was so kind and encouraging, I would do MUCH better and feel much better about my productivity. I am a high school English teacher (reading and writing, not the actual teaching of the language, for all the folks not in the US.).
@maruiacancerc So sorry to hear about your health issues. I can relate to a degree, 2 open heart surgeries and a one stroke. It’s a long recovery. Hope your cancer was found early enough for a good outcome. Best of luck to you.
Simon and Yanis actually melt my heart, matching outfits and the bromance is so father son it’s adorable. The confidence in Yanis English now. Amazing. Will miss watching Simon when his stay is finished. Change your mind Simon and don’t leave.
@@YaaLFH 6 weeks isn't it, without a residency permit? I imagine with his skills if he wanted to move to France they would welcome him if he does want to live in France.
I really enjoyed the metal detecting. I love the history, and Yanis, your English is getting better and better. Keep up the good work. We are all very proud of you. Phil, your humor knocks me out. Simon, you should have been a movie star. Last but not least, Ryan,
Billy should borrow a small group of goats and an electric fence. They would clear the entire garden, brambles and all in a couple weeks. Free labour and you are feeding goats. We used goats and donkeys at our chateau. Cheers!
@@holymoly6829 but simon did say his videos would be 9n Billy's channel tho' so we should get to see it all. Love these old stone buildings and old buildings in general!
Phil, you are a Gem 💎 Yannis, you are becoming quite a valuableperson!! Simon, you simplify can never leave❤ Alex, you are the master of the camera content❤ Ryan, ourMaster of Ceremony ❤ And...we have a new Time Team!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have happy tears as Simon said "well done mate" to Yannis....you're a good man Simon and Yannis is as well. That was absolutely heart warming. Thank you all!
Yannis speaks!! Phil certainly is patient!! Glad to see the interesting finds from the detector, especially the buttons and pendants. I'm so enjoying watching Simon and Yannis! Thank you all, including Alexander and Ryan, for continuing to film while Billy is away, hopefully having lots of fun and getting some rest.
Phil is a great sport and I love his attitude and sense of humor. Such a good friend. Phil, please wear eye protection 😉. Good hunting and good job, Yannis!😊👏🏻
I’ve just realized that Ryan is an amazing host and announcer. I’ve been enjoying the last few shows. (Still love you, Billy and looking forward for you to be back from holiday, but I think Ryan may have found his calling!)
@@daisylovelock9553 I know. Been watching his channel for a very long time. This is different. It’s his tone and presence the last few days and the role he’s playing.
The stone that you've found with the netch in it. It is called a grotto it would have had a statue of the Virgin. We had one on the family farm and we would do the rosary in in May.
I'm really enjoying the intros to the videos since Alex started filming. Billy was excellent with his editing skills, and his videos were always entertaining, and with Alex there they still are, but there is a difference with the intros that seems to somehow make the convent more visible, the camera angles and captures are so much more intimate than before, that rather than just being excited about seeing what's going on there, I'm actually starting to get a much better feel for the place on a physical level now. I would love to see a tour of the overgrown gardens with Alex's camera, as he picks up a lot that gives a real feel for a space, and it would feel like a proper stroll through, something I would enjoy very much.
Yes to more detecting💁👍👍Ryan very good host!!! Simon and Yannis great team! Love them as part of team…. Here’s hoping they will be part of this for long time. And then there is Alex who has made these videos so professional and artistic . Lovely to watch the openings of videos! I think u hit pay dirt Billy with these current folks.
Please continue with the metal detector. It’s so interesting to see what you can find there. I am amazed by the size of the gardens. I would love to see them restored with a fully working greenhouse and vegetable beds. The convent could be self sufficient! There is so much potential.
Simon and Yannis are wonderful. Simon is a natural guide, historian, and sweet soul. Phil and Ryan, the icing on the cake! Loved Phil saving the flower. Billy left the Convent and his channel in good hands.
You guys are doing a great job keeping me entertained. Love detecting. Phil is a master mechanic, Simon all your work is to perfection. Yannis is progressing well with all the jobs you throw at him. Ryan and Alex doing a great job. 😊
Ryan and Phil at the start .. Ryan and puppy warranted a loud fast giggle .. "here he comes" ... nope ..😂Simon, yannis and Phil explorations just fun and informative. Loving seeing the grounds a bit .. the paths are beautiful.. I wish there was a rendering of what the gardens and grounds looked like. Alex .. you are doing great keeping up with those four and the filming awesome
Very exciting to see the artifacts you are finding! I love the display idea for the convent. Having a dedicated area to the history is a beautiful way to honor it.💯💕
Excellent episode! I do love the hunts and finds! Lovely collection of finds! Great that the well still is usable for irrigation! Would love seeing more searches! I am sure with the proper tools the machinery will be working again. Thank you all for making and sharing this marvelous video!❤😊
I'm really enjoying this more serious side of Ryan he is such a good host, Billy has such a good team around him even when he isn't there they keep the videos entertaining 🌸
❤ Simon, you find a medal with the Vatican and the Pope of those years 1952-56 for the perfil relieve. Hope you show us closed up pictures to see better. I love all the findings. How good you are and thanks to Phillip, Yannis y Ryan. Great day. Have a lovely weekend!!!
When I paused and zoomed in I am pretty sure that is Pius the 11th (1922-1939) and not his successor, Pius the 12th (1939-1958). Pp Pius XII had a fairly thin face and always looked kind of gaunt compared to Pp Pius XI. The two other medals were too hard to make out the writing, but I'm guessing Simon is right that it was St Christopher and The Blessed Virgin (looked like a Miraculous Medal from the detail I could see).
The last pendant depicts Vatican Square (though not a square!) and a pope on the flip side. No clue which pope. The 5 centimes coin is worth between £1.27 - £6.71 depending on condition. The decent well water is a great find for the garden! Glad no one got bogged down the well. Simon, I really like your bespoke spade. Hand custom tools are the best! Good luck wth the mower, Phil. Cheers, all. 😊
@@jstani21 There was also a Pious 12th in the early 50s. I was born in 1954 and was given a medal and chain later on from an aunt. By then we had Pope John 23rd
Look at you Simon - going all Time Team! An idea would be to reserve a room at the convent to encompass the history of the building - the glass case with the metal findings, photographs (old and new) of the place, and any other history you can dig up through investigation of the records. And of course capturing all the modern renovations.
I just love you cheeky devils! ALL OF YOU! Professionals, Simon, Phil and training handymen alike, Ryan and Yannis. Of course, our trusty cameraman, Alex, too! Thanks Billy for leaving these capable blokes in charge while you and your lovely family are on vacation. 😉☺️
Right! My son is like that and I can’t tell you where he got the gift!! Not from me, for all my academics, and not from The Drummer, whose only skill is setting up & breaking down a drum kit. 😂 You can hold up some weird little thing and say, “What’s this?” He’ll stare at it for a second, maybe hold it and turn it around and then tell you what it is, what it does, and where it came from! I swear, it’s scary.
Fascinating finds Simon and more to come. Great that there’s a possibility of using the well for the garden. Great vlog as usual. Thanks for sharing and stay well.
I love seeing what you can find while metal detecting at the Convent. There is so much history in France and Europe that you never know what you might turn up. I was also thinking that people may have buried things around the convent property to hide it from their enemies and then never got to come back for it. A convent might seem like a safe place to hide valuables.
I absolutely 💯 loved this video and definitely want to see more like these. Thank you all for this wonderful week. Miss Billy but you guy's were fabulous ❤ ❤❤❤
How wonderful to see all the bits and bobs that Simon uncovered. What a great idea to display them for the future of all the past. Thanks for sharing your finds❣️
The pope on the medal is pope Pius XI, born on 31 May 1857 as Ambrogio Damiano Achille Ratti, died on 10 January 1939. He was pope from 22 January 1922 untill his death. The text around his image is "PIVS XI PONT MAX". The words "PONT MAX" stands for "PONTIFEX MAXIMUS" and means "High Priest" in English. This is a title of the pope. On the other side is the St. Peters Basilic in Rome and the brick wall is actually the colonnade around St. Peter's Square. Interesting finds! Greetz, Mahdi
i love metal detecting and historical finds, so its a yes from me! great for Billys convent display cabinet. thanks for keeping the videos coming. have a fantastic weekend gang
When Billy comes back from holidays & wonder why the lawn has been dug up☺️. Simon should have his own You Tube channel he is so interesting & an excellent teacher also taking Yanis under his wing as well.
I love seeing all of the history being uncovered by Simon and Yanis (sorry if I spelled your name incorrectly). The pottery pieces as well. They all tell the story of the Convent, a story none of us really know. Keep going, gentlemen!
Simon has a natural gift of gab and a true curiosity about his world. He is easy to listen to. Not only that, he seems to have serious traditional building skills. Billy, you’re lucky to have collected this group of helpers.
Wonderful week guys, I wish you all a great weekend. You all are naturals in front of the camera. I hope this channel continues to grow. Everyone hit the like !!!
Fantastic intro. I hope that Simon and Yannis continue with the metal detecting. Can’t wait to see Phil get the brushing machine back in use. I love watching all these little segments Alex. You really capture the the essence of co-operation and dedication that everyone participates in to make this beautiful old convent come back to life. Everyone one is doing such a great job!
Detecting and the finds are fascinating. Please keep it up! Phil, you need to be sainted for working on that on that finicky machine without the right tools. I think you need give Billy what-for and send him to the store for more tools when he gets back. The well was a great find too! Really enjoyed this episode!
This was a nice diversion from the repetitious work, work. work. Some of the town elders believe the Nuns hid jewels at the well bottom during WWII and then forgot about them. 👍👍👍
Great English Yannis!! Simon, you are the best teacher…love listening to your stories. Can’t wait to start watching the reno’s on your place. You are all such a pleasure to watch😊
I enjoy every vlog from The Pethericks but this one is exceptional! Simon and Yannis seem to work very well together. Phil cracks me up! He is one heck of a good mechanic and friend. He does tend to moan some, but we all know it’s all in good fun! Love to see more of the treasure hunting in the future.
Yannis english is sounding good. As I've said before I'm in love with Simon, I could put him in my pocket and bring him home with me. I like to hear Simon talk and explain what he is doing and the why of it. Poor Phil that job ahead of replacing the little blades looks daunting. Alex does a wonderul job of following you all around and filming what your doing. You all are such a blessing to Billy and his family,
I hope Billy is watching and enjoying these shenanigans as much as we are. Phil and Ryan are good friends to Billy; Simon is a great leader, and Yannis is a real gem. I’d love a dollar for every time Simon says, “if you like”. Love it. 😊💚 You guys are great!
Everyone knows that at times, very specific language is required to finish a difficult task. Well done, Phillip. 😊 If I could live my life again, I would become an archeologist. I found an old dump on my farm and spent many hours digging up old jars and bottles...I never got tired of it, plus I have some pretty amazing things to display. ❤
Simon talks about his finds with such passion that I listen to every word. A great idea for searching and you will surely find something interesting. The well is also a great discovery.
Alex.. 🏆🥇 That well ! What a fantastic thing! I am so impressed with this dynamic team of such capable and interesting guys, I'm blown away. Simon and Phil are superb teachers. Everyone is just stepping up! Loving you all from Phoenix 🏜️❤ Simon..the Vatican and the Pope were on that coin.
Ah! I thought it looked like the Basilica at Lourdes, and could have been St Bernadette on the coin. But you are probably right. I was given a pendant of Pious X11 as a child as he was pope when I was born.

I keep imagining what they could do with the garden, lots of potential
There is the old greenhouse too.

@@pamabernathy8728 I wonder if there’s a garden club in the town? At least to get started. It would be best long term to have a paid Gardner.
It was awesome seeing the knowledge presented by Simon. It was also nice to hear Janis speaking English for once, directly at the camera. Billy should be proud of both Simon and Janis!
Simon, I love the way you show Yannis how to do things and then let him have a go. You just love passing on your knowledge. A true teacher. X

Simon is a natural teacher and encourager. His interactions with Yannis sure warm my heart! ❣️
The mentors mentor. Simon is it! ❤️🇨🇦
So right. I was thinking the same thing in the previous vid where he was walking Yannis through removing the pipe.
I agree, if only my boss was so kind and encouraging, I would do MUCH better and feel much better about my productivity. I am a high school English teacher (reading and writing, not the actual teaching of the language, for all the folks not in the US.).
@maruiacancerc So sorry to hear about your health issues. I can relate to a degree, 2 open heart surgeries and a one stroke. It’s a long recovery. Hope your cancer was found early enough for a good outcome. Best of luck to you.
Totally agree.
The building on the pendant looks like St Peters (square?) at the Vatican. It’s all fascinating! More, please!
Yes the one with the Pope is St. Peters Sq. at the Vatican
It could be fatima in Portugal. Similar architecture and the pope could be Jean Paul II. Could be wrong.
More metal detecting. We love exploring the grounds and finding the treasures the nuns have left behind.
That's Pope PIUS XI. The inscription then reads PONT. MAX. (Or "Greatest Pontiff"). He was Pope from 1922 to 1939.
@@Nsappo Oh no, locked into it, doesn't match with this circular piazza.
Simon and Yanis actually melt my heart, matching outfits and the bromance is so father son it’s adorable. The confidence in Yanis English now. Amazing. Will miss watching Simon when his stay is finished.
Change your mind Simon and don’t leave.
With his farm reno I am sure we will see Simon more and as needed back at the convent too.
@@YaaLFH 6 weeks isn't it, without a residency permit? I imagine with his skills if he wanted to move to France they would welcome him if he does want to live in France.
Never thought I’d see a Time Team/Pethericks/Detectorists crossover!
That's what I was thinking, Time team!!
Yes!
love the fact that you are trying to explore the history of. The convent and displaying all the finds and history brilliant. Sue
Lots of fun!!😊 I especially enjoyed the tips on how to properly use the detector.🤓
I really enjoyed the metal detecting. I love the history, and Yanis, your English is getting better and better. Keep up the good work. We are all very proud of you. Phil, your humor knocks me out. Simon, you should have been a movie star. Last but not least, Ryan,
Spade the wrong shape? No problem for Simon, he cuts everything like a boss! Would love to see more metal detecting in future videos.
Billy should borrow a small group of goats and an electric fence. They would clear the entire garden, brambles and all in a couple weeks. Free labour and you are feeding goats. We used goats and donkeys at our chateau. Cheers!
and the goats fertilize as the go
Unless you have some goats like my brother's who don't eat anything but their goat food or if you pick a piece of weed or grass and hand feed them😀
Love the goat idea, they do work
When Billy comes back & wonder why the lawn has been dugged up.😊 Simon is a very good teacher, he should have his own You Tube channel.
Always great filming animals too, I bet Ryan could have a lot of fun
Simon could very well have his own TV show with how thorough and professional he is explaining and teaching.
Exactly.

Yay for Phil helping out!
Phil is a gem!
Thank you Simon and Jannis. for showing us all the treasures that you found. Who doesn't liked treasure hunting
You’re going to spoil us with these longer videos. Simon as surely a teacher in a past life , he is so good at explaining everything
Yanis is adorable, neat finds guys! Yes, keep exploring, of course between renovations of course 😊

Ryan has always been an anouncer. He's funny. He's interesting. He draws you in. Love all of you!

Interesting finds Simon and Yannis.
We love you Phil. Don't go down the welL !!!!!!
The building on the pendant is st. Peters Basilisk and St. Peter's Square in the Vatican
Yannis, Ryan and guys- you are doing a wonderful job while Billy is on his holiday. Have a good Weekend guys !
Great to hear Yannis sign off at the end of the video in English! Yes keep metal detecting Simon. Love to see Phil helping out also. What a team!!

What a great way to end the week. I love the treasure hunting, I’m sure there is more to find. Keep up the great work

I was thinking the same.
Maybe create that in a room that already has some history preserved in it like the room with the writing on the wall
I just love you cheeky devils! ALL OF YOU! Professionals, Simon, Phil and training handymen alike, Ryan and Yannis. Of course, our trusty cameraman, Alex, too! Thanks Billy for leaving these capable blokes in charge while you and your lovely family are on vacation. 😉☺️
There is a certain gift given to certain people who can discern mechanicals. My dad was one who had the gift, and you, Phil, are another.
Phil is just amazing. I wish he was near us! He has so much credit, he could name his price. We love you Phil.
Right! My son is like that and I can’t tell you where he got the gift!! Not from me, for all my academics, and not from The Drummer, whose only skill is setting up & breaking down a drum kit. 😂
You can hold up some weird little thing and say, “What’s this?” He’ll stare at it for a second, maybe hold it and turn it around and then tell you what it is, what it does, and where it came from! I swear, it’s scary.
Fascinating finds Simon and more to come. Great that there’s a possibility of using the well for the garden. Great vlog as usual. Thanks for sharing and stay well.
I bloody love this channel.
Never thought I would love a bunch of fellas doing random stuff round an old nunnery😂
I love seeing what you can find while metal detecting at the Convent. There is so much history in France and Europe that you never know what you might turn up. I was also thinking that people may have buried things around the convent property to hide it from their enemies and then never got to come back for it. A convent might seem like a safe place to hide valuables.
It’s incredibly interesting to follow you in these historic discoveries.

The detectoring is going to be very exciting. It will be exciting to see what else is hidden in the grounds. Yanis’s English is expanding.
Wonderful week guys, I wish you all a great weekend. You all are naturals in front of the camera. I hope this channel continues to grow. Everyone hit the like !!!
Wow, the garden area is huge! How fantastic! Oh, the possibilities!
Fantastic intro. I hope that Simon and Yannis continue with the metal detecting. Can’t wait to see Phil get the brushing machine back in use. I love watching all these little segments Alex. You really capture the the essence of co-operation and dedication that everyone participates in to make this beautiful old convent come back to life. Everyone one is doing such a great job!
You know what? You All together at present, Ryan, Simon, Yanis, Phil, make a super-dooper-équipe! It creates a new Stile ; ))
Detecting and the finds are fascinating. Please keep it up! Phil, you need to be sainted for working on that on that finicky machine without the right tools. I think you need give Billy what-for and send him to the store for more tools when he gets back. The well was a great find too! Really enjoyed this episode!
You guys are doing a great job with Billy being away. What great discoveries!!!
This is wonderful the more you look the more you find the more history is unveiled ❤ 🙏🇦🇺
This was a nice diversion from the repetitious work, work. work. Some of the town elders believe the Nuns hid jewels at the well bottom during WWII and then forgot about them. 👍👍👍
@@janetpendlebury6808 Agreed. I told those silly town elders their buckets have holes in them.
LOVE metal detecting finds!! Bringing items to surface that haven't been touched in a couple hundred years is so cool!
All the things found while metal detecting were very interesting !! I bet there are more items yet to be found !
I am from the states. This channel has kept me glued for the past week. Nothing but fellowship and working towards a better goal!!!! Keep it up!!
Simon would make a great teacher. He explains things so clearly and with real interest. He is a bonus to the Petherick vlogs.
Great English Yannis!! Simon, you are the best teacher…love listening to your stories. Can’t wait to start watching the reno’s on your place. You are all such a pleasure to watch😊
I enjoy every vlog from The Pethericks but this one is exceptional! Simon and Yannis seem to work very well together. Phil cracks me up! He is one heck of a good mechanic and friend. He does tend to moan some, but we all know it’s all in good fun! Love to see more of the treasure hunting in the future.
Yannis english is sounding good. As I've said before I'm in love with Simon, I could put him in my pocket and bring him home with me. I like to hear Simon talk and explain what he is doing and the why of it. Poor Phil that job ahead of replacing the little blades looks daunting. Alex does a wonderul job of following you all around and filming what your doing. You all are such a blessing to Billy and his family,
Phil, I bet Billy's dad will have what you need
You ALL DONE WELL!!
I hope Billy is watching and enjoying these shenanigans as much as we are. Phil and Ryan are good friends to Billy; Simon is a great leader, and Yannis is a real gem. I’d love a dollar for every time Simon says, “if you like”. Love it. 😊💚 You guys are great!
Everyone knows that at times, very specific language is required to finish a difficult task. Well done, Phillip. 😊 If I could live my life again, I would become an archeologist. I found an old dump on my farm and spent many hours digging up old jars and bottles...I never got tired of it, plus I have some pretty amazing things to display. ❤
What an interesting day down at the Convent. Thanks chaps.
Simon you are such a wise man. You are the salt of the earth.
He’s got the gift of teaching and encouraging. Men like him have always been the ones to pass on the knowledge.
Lifesaver Phil!! You're a good man and friend,,
Loving this vlog …definitely more of the metal detecting please 👏👏
Great job team. I enjoyed the treasure hunt. Yannis and Simon and Phil along with Ryan, Your all doing a great job.
Very cool metal detecting. Maybe a pin pointer detector would make the fine work easier.😊
Simon talks about his finds with such passion that I listen to every word. A great idea for searching and you will surely find something interesting. The well is also a great discovery.
Alex.. 🏆🥇
That well ! What a fantastic thing! I am so impressed with this dynamic team of such capable and interesting guys, I'm blown away. Simon and Phil are superb teachers. Everyone is just stepping up! Loving you all from Phoenix 🏜️❤
Simon..the Vatican and the Pope were on that coin.
Ah! I thought it looked like the Basilica at Lourdes, and could have been St Bernadette on the coin. But you are probably right. I was given a pendant of Pious X11 as a child as he was pope when I was born.
Love metal detecting. Beautiful finds from the history of the convent. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Billy needs to go on vacation more often and let Simon run the show. Nice job.
