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!
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.
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."
@@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!
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.
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’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 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!
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 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,
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.
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.
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!😊👏🏻
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.
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.💯💕
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🌸
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.
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. 😊
❤ 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).
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
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.
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
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 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. 😉☺️
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
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. 👍👍👍
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.
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!❤😊
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 !!!
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!
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. ❤
The nuns most likely took a vow of poverty, the items that you find will not be worth a great deal. However, as historical finds they are preceless. I hope you continue detecting and build an even greater collection of trinkets. Maybe you can even talk Billy into investing in a better quality detector that won't trouble you as much, LOL 😊 Lastly, poor Phil, I actually felt his pain.
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 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 ❤ ❤❤❤
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
The button with a x shank probably came off a winter garment, being able to accommodate either heavier thread or multiple strands to holding onto sturdy fabric.
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 love Yannis joining the crew/family and speaking up. The last couple days of videos have been very interesting and cinematic, broken up with different atmospheres, camera angles and effects. Great job, Alex! Really felt that I was there. Ryan, Phil and Simon have been great impresarios in Billy's absence.
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.
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.
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!
Loved this! I can hardly wait for the mower to clear some of the back garden and vegetable patches so Simon and Yannis can treasure hunt properly. You could feel poor Phil's frustration, not having the correct tools for the job (that he knows he has in his own toolkit at home!). Billy is going to get an earful from Phillip when he gets back. 😝 That last bit with Yannis and Simon was wonderful. It is great to see Yannis grow more confident in front of the camera and with practicing his English. Well done indeed. Simon is so encouraging and supportive. It makes your heart glad to see the pair of them interacting.
Billy spends fortunes to equip his crew with great material and tools. Hearing Phil’s evaluation of Billy’s tools 🧰 🛠, I suspect Billy may be not doing the same for himself. 🤣
Yes please do more metal detecting. I know Mo detected a little bit at the Chateau, but I bet there are a lot more goodies to be found. Thanks again for the variety that you are giving us in the vlogs really fun.
I absolutely love Simon's little interaction's with Yannis. What a great teacher he is! What you are all doing while Billy is away is fantastic! I have always wanted someone to metal detect the grounds around the convent. What a treat! 😮👌. I cannot wait for the paranormal stuff to start because the convent sure is definitely haunted 👻 Love and hugs to you all 👏 xx
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 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.

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.
It might be something for Michael Petherick to get his fingers into?
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.
Simon could very well have his own TV show with how thorough and professional he is explaining and teaching.
Exactly.
@@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!

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.🤓
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, Please continue with your research into the history of the convent! I can’t wait to see what else you find! ❤

Sometime people would attach a medal onto their rosary..I was taught to do this as a schoolgirl going to Catholic school .
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
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.

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! I had no idea that the complex was that huge! We mostly just see the front courtyard..
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!
Ryan you're an amazing host/ presenter!😊 great collab you guys, doing Billy proud
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.
I think you should definitely continue metal detecting. The coins and pendants are great finds! 😊
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. ❤
The nuns most likely took a vow of poverty, the items that you find will not be worth a great deal. However, as historical finds they are preceless. I hope you continue detecting and build an even greater collection of trinkets. Maybe you can even talk Billy into investing in a better quality detector that won't trouble you as much, LOL 😊 Lastly, poor Phil, I actually felt his pain.
I bloody love this channel.
Never thought I would love a bunch of fellas doing random stuff round an old nunnery😂
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,
Yanis' English is great! I like the goat idea as well. I think Ryan + Phil + Goats = great TV comedic opportunities
Wow, the garden area is huge! How fantastic! Oh, the possibilities!
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 ❤ ❤❤❤
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
Thank you Ryan, Simon, Phil, Yannis, Alex…..Billy’s Band of Merry Men!
More “detectin” Please!
Thank you…… the adventure continues in good hands! 🎉
The button with a x shank probably came off a winter garment, being able to accommodate either heavier thread or multiple strands to holding onto sturdy fabric.
This is like watching unsupervised people .. having tons of unbridled fun. Love it!
Billy needs to go on vacation more often and let Simon run the show. Nice job.
You gents are doing a bang up job covering for Billy, very interesting with the metal detector and the bit about the well great vlog.
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 love Yannis joining the crew/family and speaking up. The last couple days of videos have been very interesting and cinematic, broken up with different atmospheres, camera angles and effects. Great job, Alex! Really felt that I was there. Ryan, Phil and Simon have been great impresarios in Billy's absence.
You know what? You All together at present, Ryan, Simon, Yanis, Phil, make a super-dooper-équipe! It creates a new Stile ; ))
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.
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.
Really loved this episode! Always eager to see mystery finds from the past history of the convent! Thank you! 👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻🥰
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!!!
Loved this! I can hardly wait for the mower to clear some of the back garden and vegetable patches so Simon and Yannis can treasure hunt properly. You could feel poor Phil's frustration, not having the correct tools for the job (that he knows he has in his own toolkit at home!). Billy is going to get an earful from Phillip when he gets back. 😝 That last bit with Yannis and Simon was wonderful. It is great to see Yannis grow more confident in front of the camera and with practicing his English. Well done indeed. Simon is so encouraging and supportive. It makes your heart glad to see the pair of them interacting.
Billy spends fortunes to equip his crew with great material and tools. Hearing Phil’s evaluation of Billy’s tools 🧰 🛠, I suspect Billy may be not doing the same for himself. 🤣
Love metal detecting. Beautiful finds from the history of the convent. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Well done boys and yanis your english is coming on well pal 👍
Loved this episode! Treasure hunting is always fun! Please keep on doing more segments.
Good morning all
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 love metal detecting and magnet fishing! I’ve done both and you never know what treasures you’ll find. You have a great place to hunt!
What an interesting day down at the Convent. Thanks chaps.
Yes please do more metal detecting. I know Mo detected a little bit at the Chateau, but I bet there are a lot more goodies to be found. Thanks again for the variety that you are giving us in the vlogs really fun.
I am seriously impressed with Simon.
All the things found while metal detecting were very interesting !! I bet there are more items yet to be found !
I think as time goes on and the ground is cleared, things will come up to the surface each time there is a heavy rain. God bless 😊
Lovely to see you today Gentlemen!
I absolutely love Simon's little interaction's with Yannis. What a great teacher he is! What you are all doing while Billy is away is fantastic! I have always wanted someone to metal detect the grounds around the convent. What a treat! 😮👌. I cannot wait for the paranormal stuff to start because the convent sure is definitely haunted 👻 Love and hugs to you all 👏 xx
