    When I first moved to Germany, I was on the receiving end of this more than once: "If you speak three languages, you're trilingual. If you speak two languages, you're bilingual. If you speak one language, you're American." Looks like you had a great time!

      Ha, pretty sure everyone could tell I was American without even opening my mouth

    You look like a kid in a toy store after being told you can take and keep whatever you can carry out with you. That look on your face with that first coin is exactly what this hobby is all about! Pure excitement and anticipation of all the good things you know are to come. Thanks for sharing that experience with the rest of us. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the week went as well as following Chill Bill and his adventures. Jim Parry, Backroads Metal Detecting

    This trip is putting a permanent smile on your face Brad. Chill Bill obviously knows where to take someone to find targets with some age and history. Looking forward to seeing more adventures and even older finds in your travels in France.

    Your channel was suggested by a friend and today (Sunday 13 Feb) this video popped up. Loved the smile of pure joy at your first find in France and the smiles just kept coming as you found more & more items. Chill Bill brought you to a wonderful place to start your 'French Finds Tour'. Good luck with the rest of your time there. Btw, subbed today. Stay healthy and safe 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen your eyes so big as they were when Chill Bill told you how old the first coin you found was! I’m enjoying your adventure in France. Can’t wait until you drop your next France digging video!

    @barbedstar6480 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Chill Bill is the greatest, He is so scholarly and willing to teach and share. He is such an uplifting soul and feel he is more of a special friend instead of a creator. He has the greatest "Happy Face" and Kitties. Thank you for being there with him and I am so glad you are able to have such a successful adventure and treasure hunt with Chill Bill. You did well young man, you did well!!!

    Your excitement is contagious. I especially love the Liberty Cap / French Revolution coin. The "year 2" (or 5) gives you a sense of what the mood was like among the people in post-revolutionary France. What a great piece of history!

    Been watching Clem or Chill Bill for years now. He finds amazing relics and has a vast knowledge ranging back to the Roman era. I highly suggest following him. Not only does he always have great finds but he always leaves me with a smile! He Brad and the Aqua Chigger are probably the best!!

    This is fantastic guys !!! 1600s, maybe 1500's coins, that's insane. I have been metal detecting 10 years in colonial New England and have many 1700's coins, but ZERO 1600's coins and you guys find many in 2 hours. What an amazing spot to detect, I look forward to the rest of this series, as I'm a fan of both of you guys.

      We have more history in europe....but im in the UK,my oldest silver coin is 32BC...1700 coins are still modern to us,we look for Roman to medieval....100ad to 1500 at the latest.....Georgian 1600to early 1800 are always found,a few every trip,sick of finding them,i have a tin full lol
