NiiiiiCE some great findings bud that little box thing I like that 4:02secs, Well Done Meht..🤝 ps-Yea I’m gonna watch your beginners video “again” after this..Thanks again bud well appreciated..
Dream find. Norwegian gold coins were so valuable back in the days, so here in Norway it is almost impossible to find gold coins. Beautiful video as usual ♥️
Hello and Greetings to you Olem, I have to say you are one of the most generous people I have ever come across. Honestly cannot tell you how much I appreciate your kindness and generosity. You really help to keep my channel going. Just this month I had to pay £110 for a years subscription to the site I get my music, £32 to an app I use to edit thumbnails and £50 for the subscription to my editing Software. An expensive month for the Dukes :) I have been very lucky this year having found 3 gold coins, but I have worked very hard for them. Thanks as always for your amazing support, you are a top guy. Have a great week. Gareth
Hello there, what part of the world do you metal detect? I am very lucky to live and detect in a beautiful part of the UK and I hope my enthusiasm and love for these places comes across in my channel? I am a huge lover of the great outdoors, been out in places like this helps keep me healthy. Thanks for coming along and watching this video, I really appreciate it. Hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Hi there, thanks so much for such an awesome comment, I really appreciate it. Everything about this day was amazing, the weather, the scenery and the finds, one of those perfect metal detecting days. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Hi Nathaniel, definitely some choice swear words went on there!! This was pretty much the perfect metal detecting session, stunning weather, stunning scenery, stunning finds. Most people know that I am a coinshooter, when looking for permissions, I look for the same set of attributes in a piece of landscape that tells me there will be a LOT of coins. I have dug tens of thousands of coins in my 8 years metal detecting, probably 25,000 or more. I find thousands of modern coins, thousands of pre decimal coins, thousands of crusty Georgians, hundreds of silver coins and yes a hand full of gold coins. When you dig the amount of coins I do, finding gold coins is a full blown certainty. But yes a stroke of luck is also required, but I am no way in a million the luckiest detectorist out there, far from it in fact. The lucky ones are the ones who don't have to go to work anymore and the ones who find life changing finds
Mate, I can testify how honest your channel is, and how genuine you are. Keep the videos coming I enjoy them, even if they do make me feel very envious 😂
Hi mate, thank you I appreciate that and I know my own morals and honesty. But there are some out there who find it too unbelievable but who are too quick to judge before taking the time to learn about someone and learn about their channel. It really aggravates me when I receive negative comments, but I try to take it as a sign my channel is growing, and I gotta take the rough with the smooth. Luckily the smooth far outweighs the rough. Thanks as always and catch you on the next one. G
Great day with a gold plus the nice silver item.Finding gold gives you such a buzz and I have had a few of them too.The best of my gold sovereigns came after I found what I thought was a shottie but when I turned it over and cleaned it staring at me was a Victorian Sovereign.Just to top that as I pressed out the coin there were three altogether.It was a sprung container that would probably have been secreted under a walking cane handle.What a day.
Hi there Dave, wow thanks so much for telling me about that amazing find, multiple sovereign wow! Many years ago I found one of them sovereign holders.... Mine was empty!! But I have since found 3 full sovereigns, so I'm happy now haha. As always thanks so much for taking time out your day to watch my videos and support my channel. I look forward to catching you on the next episode. Gareth
Great video as always. Lovely gold sovereign. Imagine the heartache for the person that lost it. Great silver as well, what a day. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Hi there mate, thank you for the kind words. yes, totally agree, who ever lost this had a bad day. But I always say whoever was walking around with gold coins in their pockets probably had a lot more and were most likely wealthy people. But as with all finds in our wonderful hobby, their losses are our gains. Imagine if nobody had ever dropped a coin in history, metal detecting would be rubbish haha. Thanks so much for watching. G
Hi Neil thank you very much for such kind words, for only 12 minutes of video, I put a lot of work and a lot of time into this one trying to make it right. I was really happy with the outcome and it is one of few of my own videos I have actually sat down and watched myself :) One of my channel goals is to try to take the viewer with me on my metal detecting adventures, i am pleased I achieved that in this video. Thanks again and I hope to see you on the next episode. Gareth
Well done you. Really good video, with the great music, aerial footage & countryside. Very well presented , especially with the stunning finds. That Edwardian person would've been devastated, at the loss of a sovereign. Terrific find. Bless up bro 👊
Hi Nick, thanks very much for the kind words and awesome comments. I do really appreciate comments regarding the music I choose and my drone shots. I spend a lot of time trawling through music trying to find stuff that fits my channel. I imagine whoever lost that sovereign was upset, but I also imagine he had a pocket full and wouldn't of missed it. Their losses our always our gains, this hobby is amazing! Thanks as always for coming along. G
Hi there, thanks so much for the very kind words. I like to work hard on my channel and the content I upload and like to upload content in my own style themed around metal detecting and the great outdoors. Again, I appreciate your comments, and I hope to see you again on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Have a great weekend. Gareth
Awesome to see you find the gold coin, still can't get over the detail on it. Also love the locket too. Thanks again for taking us on your adventures, here's to the next one! 🙂
Hello there, thanks so much for watching this video, I absolutely love this comment. I would of been happy enough to find the silver trinket thing, it was lovely. But to find a full sovereign only a few inches away was amazing. Gold coins usually come up in mint condition as they were not passed around like copper and silver coins. Gold does not tarnish either, so they come up how they went in. Days like this are why I love this hobby, everything was epic. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire you're very welcome. 😊 A great day for sure! Of course, it would have been kept safe...until it was lost that is. Thanks again for sharing your hobby with us. Have a great week.
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire you're very welcome. 😊 A great day for sure! Of course, it would have been kept safe...until it was lost that is. Thanks again for sharing your hobby with us. Have a great week.
Top notch video once again Gareth, Absolutely loved that silver pendant and the gold is pheromonal, such amazing condition! Thanks so much for publishing this video, all the editing and cinematics pieced the video together perfectly! Hope to see you again soon, regards, Paddy
Hi Paddy, thanks for the kind words mate, I must admit since this day (5 or 6 weeks ago) my metal detecting has been awful, I even thought about quitting and ditching my channel. I took 2 full weeks away from it all in the hope to re-gather some love and enthusiasm for it all again. I hope to start uploading again next week, but we'll see. Hope you guys are doin well? I not heard from your old man in a while, his chickens keepin him busy!!
Cracking vid as always mate, love the silver box, and as for the sovereign, absolutely fantastic, the buz you get when the edge sticks out of the ground is just amazing and never gets any less exciting, you did forget to do the gold dance though ! lol
Hi mate, thank you. The silver vinaigrette tin was absolutely stunning, but to find a full sovereign only a few inches away was just unreal. Best day of 2023 I reckon!! You will never ever see me do a gold dance, far too cringey for me that sort of thing :) Thanks as always for coming along, taking time out your day to watch and for supporting my channel. Catch you on the next one. G
Well done mate , you more than deserve all your finds , your enthusiasm and energy for this hobby is truly inspiring, anyone who shares your passion in this field will know that your channel and finds are 100% , let the haters hate mate , keep at it 👍🏼
Hi Lee, thanks for your awesome comments and kind words, it is really appreciated. To be honest, its only the short videos that receive any negativity. I think its because they get picked up by a lot of none detectorists and none subscribers. Some of my short videos have got massive amounts of views, they are a great tool for the channel, but they can bring in some negativity. But what ya do eh, it is the internet after all :) Thanks again for your very kind words, since this find, the fields have been very tough going, curse of the gold!!
Hi there Greg, everything we dig is treasure, I've actually kept everything I've ever found. All my trash gets either disposed of or recycled, the modern coins go to the bank and everything else lives in my garage, the good stuff and the gold and silver lives in my display and coin box.This was my best day of 2023 so far, a real joy been out there, finding those 2 amazing items, capturing the day and making this video. Thanks for making time to watch. Gareth
Thank you for sharing your experiences. You can find anything there. It’s not easy, but that’s what makes it so grand to find items regardless of physical value mate. That’s the attraction for me. Those intimate items are the special bonus
Hi Steve, thanks for the great comments and also for taking time out your day to watch and support my channel. Metal detecting for myself and most other passionate detectorists out there is nothing to do with finding valuable items and treasure. Its about been out there in the countryside and the elements relieving the stresses of life. But it is always awesome when something like this pops up now and again. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Hi Peter, thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it. Definitely one of my best videos. I try to make my videos as short as possible, instead of boring folk to death with 40 or 50 minute videos :)
Hi there Rich, thank you very much for watching this video and for the comments. It's been quite a year finding 3 gold coins already. By far my best ever year for gold in almost 9 years in the hobby. I must admit since this one its been all down hill and I've come close to quitting the hobby and giving up on my TH-cam channel. I took the decision to have 2 weeks away from TH-cam in the hope it would rejuvenate me, re-inspire me and bring back some love and creativity. I hope to start uploading again next week. Thanks again. Gareth
Nice one bud on the full Sovereign, makes it all worth while. Great Victorian silver box too. My last two sessions out have produced double silver for me on both days on the permission, but still after my gold find. I will keep at it, got to happen some day with so much silver coming up out of the same field. I live in hope. All the best and may the great finds keep coming. HH
Hi mate, sounds like you have had a couple of really successful hunts there, well played sir. I was happy enough with that Victorian silver tin thing, it was truly stunning, but to find a full sovereign just inches away was amazing!! Curse of the gold has definitely hit me hard, 3 hunts since this one and been pretty awful haha. But I will keep going and keep slaying this area as where there is 3, there is more!! Your first gold will come sooner or later if you keep getting out there
Another great video Gareth and an amazing find! This is beginnin' to get into a habit! Well done findin' a full sovereign!! And an Edward one - seeing he wasn't king for that long. Love the vids and all the best to you and't family.
Hi there Troy, it is definitely a habit mate, this was my 9th gold coin. But I've explained to several people in the comments, I am an expert coin shooter, I only metal detect on places with certain attributes where I know I will find coins. Over the years I've dug tens of thousands of pre-decimal coins, crusty Georgian and modern coins. But the bi-product to this is hundreds and hundreds of silver coins and a handful of gold coins. Clearly don't find gold rings on these locations though haha. Thanks as always for coming along mate, hope to see you on the next episode. Gareth
Just found you on you tube, seen quite a few done by others but you have a gift on presentation and honesty. Will continue to look out for further episode from you.
Hello there Geoff, welcome to my channel, where about's are you from? Thank you very much for your very kind words, I really appreciate it. Also, thanks for subscribing, its great to have you onboard. I really appreciate all my viewers and will always spend time replying to all the comments I receive. if you ever have any questions, please let me know. I hope to see you again on some of my many other metal detecting videos. You might enjoy this recent upload, a look back on 2 of my best ever gold finds, found on the same field, 7 days apart: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again and have a good day. Gareth
Hi mate, cheers buddy, it was indeed an amazing weekend, I spent Friday night, all day Saturday and Saturday night metal detecting with Marcus, then Sunday metal detecting with Carl. I was utterly exhausted by the end of it and falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm Sunday night. But it was so worth it doing what I love doing and trying to capture events to the best of my ability and put these videos together. I have been metal detecting 3 times since and had 3 really bad days in the office, curse of the gold. Thanks as always for your awesome support. G
Excellent you detected this field. A real money field for sure. Hope you and the family are healthy and happy. See you on the next, Gareth. Cheers buddy! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hi there Martin how are you doing my friend? Great to hear from you. Signals might be hard to come by here but man the quality of finds is amazing, perhaps my best day metal detecting in some time!! Myself and the girls are all doing OK thanks, we are finally off on a family holiday soon to Lanzarote, it cannot come soon enough, I need a break from work, from metal detecting, my channel and everything else. But I will return rejuvenated :)
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Glad to hear you and the family are well. Enjoy the family holiday is Lanzarote. I have been diagnosed with a possible stroke, and that many have caused the fall back in August 2022 to transpire. The doctor will have to do bloodwork test and brain examinations. The possibility of driving again are slim. Have my Subaru Forster up for sale. It’s a 2020 with 5,200 miles on it. Hate to give it up for sale, but the depreciation on it runs about $3000.00 per year. So out it goes. The most beautiful and amazing SUV I’ve ever owned. I hope your trip is a great one, and email me when you get back home. Have a happy and safe trip. Cheers to the family.
@@martinmarsola6477 hopefully only a minor stroke. We'll talk over emails Martin, not away for until next week. Sorry to hear about the car. I literally just gave one of my work colleagues my 2021 Subura Impreza remote control rally car, boxed! Been sat unused for 22 years amd he is a radio control car enthusiast, so thought he could get some joy out of it
First pre decimal of the day is a full sovereign, and an Edward 7th at that... wow! Well done, as always. That bit of silver is a beautiful find too.. what a short session. 🎉
Hi mate, yeah that's not a bad pre decimal coin to start the day with. I would of been more than happy finding only the Victorian silver thing, but to add a full sov only moments later was immense and such a buzz. Definitely gona be on a rough patch now for a few months. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Well done Gareth. Silver and gold in the one day and nearly in the same hole. Ripper finds mate. Great spot, weather, company and a couple of bonuses. What could be better. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Hi Andrew, yes proper dream day for me this was, like you say, great location, great weather, great company and great finds. I felt bad for Carl and his Minelab only finding a couple of modern 10 pence coins. But that's the hobby, it is a lottery! Thanks for coming along. G
Hi there John, thank you for the amazing comments. I know I put in the graft and the hours searching the right kind of places, but I do agree I have been very fortunate this year having found 3 gold coins now so far this year. Curse of the gold has struck though, my next 3 sessions after this have been pretty poor haha. Thanks as always for coming along, see you on the next one. G
Hello there, thanks so much for coming along to my channel and for taking the time to watch this video and leave me a comment. The little silver box was a wonderful find for me. That is a good question whatever they kept in it must have been small. Who ever lost it, passed away a very long time ago, I will look after this piece for them for the duration of my lifetime :) You will find gold one day if you keep getting out there every week, week after week, month after month, through rain, through ice, through wind, its out there, tonnes and tonnes of the stuff. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Hey there Chuck, thanks very much for watching another of my videos. This was an EPIC day out in the Derbyshire spring sunshine and unearthing one of the best coins I have ever found!! Thanks for joining me and I hope to see you again on my channel soon. Gareth
Hello there, thank you. Aww yes mila made a grand model, and I could not get that coin off her, she kept sayin "mila's gold, mila's gold" haha. Thanks as always for coming along and experiencing these moments with me. G
These are absolutely delightful find, congratulations! I'm impressed with your passion for the search, you're so lucky! Sovereign is incredible, I understand your feelings at the moment of finding it :) The video quality is great too, good luck!
Hello there, thanks so much for visiting my channel, watching this video and leaving your awesome comment. It was a very lucky day for me, in fact this was my 3rd gold coin find of 2023, it's been my best ever year for gold. Thanks again for your kind words and I hope to see you again on my channel. Gareth
Hi James, thanks for such kind words. For such a short video, a whole lot of work went into it and I was super happy with the final outcome, I don't often watch my own videos, but I did sit down and watch this one. Thanks again and I will catch you on the next episode. G
Ey up gaz, Love your videos and your enthusiasm. Ive been detecting now for approx a year in calderdale, I`ve found a bronze age axe head approx 4000 years old, a gold ring currently with the FLO, a superb Bullhead 1817 shilling and lots of silver and pennies and enough lead/iron/ring pulls/buttons/tin cans/and bits of scrap to sink a battleship. Its easy to get disheartened especially when your not having any luck for months and its easy to forget that we do this hobby because we love being out there , in the fields and meadows and moors and admiring this bloody great country we live in, with its history. i still get the same feeling when i find a penny as i did a year ago but when you do find something worthwhile, just pause, savour the moment like you did and the feeling is hard to describe. People ask me how much is the axe head worth, but its irrelevant because i would never part with it. Keep the videos coming.... A hearty handshake from Gods own County
Hi mate, thanks for your awesome comment, apologies for the slow reply, I've been on my holidays. Wow you have done very well in your first year, I am yet to find a complete BA axe head OR a gold ring. I must admit I am struggling with my channel at the moment, I have little enthusiasm for the metal detecting world at the moment. I hope to return soon though. Thanks again for your kind words. G
Hi there mate, haha Mr Gold is a very appropriate name at the moment, normally on a really really good year I will find 1 piece of gold, but to have found 3 gold coins before June is amazing for me and I'm so happy. Thanks so much for tuning in each week and watching, supporting my channel. Mr Gold
Just catching up on your vids. What a day you had. Lovely sovereign but that little silver (vinaigrette/snuff??) box is a beaut. Even the Vicky penny was stunning condition.
Hi mate, I have to be honest, since this day it has pretty much been all downhill. Curse of the gold is real, let me tell you haha. You are right that little vinaigrettes box was absolutely stunning, but to find an Edward VII Sovereign not 3 steps away was just incredible. Perfect metal detecting session that was. Don't think I have been up here since, I will return very soon!! Thanks so much for tuning in. G
Gareth great find my friend 👌I've been on off on TH-cam, My father is not well been helping him out, But do the catch ups on what I've missed 👍🏼 Awesome watching always 🍺
Hi there Pete, very good to hear from you buddy, I am very sorry to hear that your father is unwell. There are far more important things in life than TH-cam, especially family. Sending my best wishes. Gareth
Never found gold yet mate must be a great feeling got my dance all prepared as well great finds Gareth smashing video again and great roundup good hunting mate 👍👊🎧👊
Hi mate, good to hear from you. This was actually my 11th gold find and the feeling is the same every time, although NOTHING compares to that first one, especially if its a coin. Finding my first gold coin was very special. Yours will come if you keep getting out there every weekend, week after week. It will come when you least expect it and probably on a patch you done already!!
A great days detecting once more, lovely silver case and what a coin, lovely sovereign and it's very clean tbh, definitely both good for your display case. I had to do a search for someone's silver pendant while on holiday in wales, luckily just got back to the pub, took me about 10 minutes to find it and reunited with the owner. Hope you and the family are well, keep it up
Hi Sam, gold is always clean as its a metal that doesn't tarnish. It will come out the ground exactly how it went in, no matter how long its been there. Also, gold coins are almost always in near mint condition as they were not passed around millions of times like pennies. Well done on finding the lost pendant, job well done mate
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire yeah very true I just think I always expect gold to be abit worn, obviously not battered but still worn, but happy days at the moment for you 😁
Hello there Gustavo, thanks so much for this very kind and amazing compliment. I am always trying to improve the content I upload regardless of finds. It helps when I find something good and also when the weather and scenery are so beautiful. Please pass my regards to your son and I hope to see you both on my next metal detecting episode. Gareth
Hi Dave, that is exactly the buzz of this hobby, you never quite know what could be lurking in that very next hole - although most of the time we have a good idea. I'd of been more than happy to find that piece of silver, but to find gold moments after finding silver was just dreamy. A real special day for me and another magical moment in my metal detecting career. Thanks so much for coming along and sharing it with me. G
Hi Mark, yeah a very good selection of metals on this one :) I did open the silver box shortly after finding it. After 100 years in the earth I was amazed how easy it opened and the hinge to be in full working condition. This is why this hobby is so fascinating, we get to find these little antique works of art and beautiful gold coins... There is not other hobby like it!! Thank again for watching. G
Perfect Sunday morning viewing. Just watched Ash’s latest from the other week & now your adventure from the day after our wild camping! Absolute corker of a coin Gaz mate! Well done 👏 and another lovely episode!!x
Marcus !! Great to hear from you mate. I checked Ash's channel, no video for months, he's lost his metal detecting mojo big time unfortunately. What a weekend of metal detecting this was, spending a couple nights with you, a full days detecting with you, then hard at it again the next day and finding gold on the hill in beautiful spring conditions. One of my best ever sessions and perhaps my favourite ever video, and one I can say I sat down and watched. Thanks as always for taking time out your day to watch and support. G
Hi mate thanks as always for the kind words and for tuning in and watching this video. Definitely one of my favourite finds and favourite videos. I actually sat down and watched this one, something I very rarely do!! Thanks again and hope to catch you on the next episode. G
Hi Steven, thanks very much for coming along to my channel, for watching this video and for leaving your awesome comments. This video is one of my personal favourites, an absolutely breathtaking little session with Carl. Had a tough couple of weeks and had some important stuff to take care of at home so took a couple of weeks away from metal detecting and TH-cam, but I hope to be back very soon. Thanks again. Gareth
Congrats on the gold, mate. I love the silver box. Again, I couldnt believe the bloody 2p... Ive realized that people may find them in their pockets and just chuck them.
Hi mate, thanks as always for coming along and choosing to donate some of your free time in watching what I upload. I have to say the silver find was exquisite and thought my day had peaked at that point. Literally only a few moments later I was digging a gold coin (again), this hobby has been crazy for me this year!! This permission has a footpath going straight through it and I regularly see hikers, so finding the odd modern coin here and there is normal. But man them 1p and 2p coins give cracking signals, which I'm sure you know. Thanks again and catch you on the next one I hope. G
Hey Gary from Oregon in the USA, thanks so much for visiting my channel today and for watching this video. This already seems a lifetime ago, but it was only a few months back. Unbelievably, this was the 3rd gold coin I found in as many months back in early 2023. Those other videos are on my channel too. Thanks again for coming along and I very much hope to see you on my channel again. Have a great weekend. Gareth
Hi Kevin, ah cool, you watched :) This is one of my favourite ever videos. Been there was awesome, I captured some amazing footage and really enjoyed editing. Really appreciate you coming along again, I've racked up over 250 videos on my channel over the last 4 years, hope to see you again. Have a great day. Gareth
Hi Jacob, cheers buddy. I have been detecting 3 times since this one and all 3 times have been rubbish! Curse of the gold for the next few months I imagine. But I don't care, I'll still be out there every weekend doing what i do and its only a matter of time until my next great find. Thanks again. G
Hi Andrew, apologies for the slow reply, I took 2 weeks off from my channel and have only just recently returned. I have put my heart and sole into my hobby and into my channel, so it is amazing to be rewarded with such amazing finds. I have to say since this its been absolute rubbish and I've almost quit metal detecting. But I've picked myself back up!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire everyone needs a break from time to time. I sometimes go weeks without detecting. No worries on the late reply. I only comment to let you know I’ve dropped by and appreciate your content. No pressure on you, take it easy if you can
@@AndrewRobinsonDirtDiggers cheers Andrew, the constant pressure of trying to upload every week has slowly but surely took it out of me. I think I'm going to upload less and probably shorter videos too. Not enough hours in a day at the moment
Wow this hobby never fails to amaze us 😊 like you said it's time put in and when the ground is ready to give up it's treasure ❤ how often have you covered a patch of ground and one day something special comes up. No doubt the DII will find you something a lot of other machines won't. A simple decimal 1/2p only 6inch down and my friends couldn't pick it up and my DII picked it up? I put it down to the FMF 😮 if your luck keeps up your on for 3 more Gold this year 🤞love the shot with the sovereign in Milla's hand ✋ ❤ it look huge. Her bump on her head is healing up well she's your real treasure. Awesome video as always PMA has come through for you 💥
Hi there Stephen, its not just time spent in the field, but its also about choosing land. I have a set of attributes I look for where I know I will find coins, lots of coins! I've dug tens of thousands of coins in my metal detecting career, mostly modern, pre-decimal and Georgian, but the bi-product of all this coin digging is that along with the hundreds and hundreds of silver ones, is the odd gold coin here and there. It is no coincidence that I have now found 9 in 8 years detecting. Yes some good luck and fortune, right place at the right time. But land selection + man hours is the key. Mila's head has healed up nicely but she will have a scar for many years. We put bio oil on it every day in the hope it will fade and disappear. Thanks as always for choosing to watch my channel. Gareth
Hey Gareth. I believe! Well done mate. That's a stunning day's finds. Was waiting for you to open the pendant. I'm guessing it's too fragile? Fields of Gold 😉
Hey there Del, great to hear from you, apologies for the slow response, I been away from TH-cam for a couple of weeks. I did open the pendant but it was empty. I must say since this day, my metal detecting has took a huge downward spiral. But I am hoping I am back and will start uploading again soon. Gareth
Hello there Vlad, thank you buddy, it was certainly a dream day metal detecting for me, gold and silver :) Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Hello there Anne, yes this was an epic find for me and one of the most beautiful coins I've ever found, so chuffed it was an Edward VII. I spend a lot of time trying to find beautiful places to metal detect, and places I know where I can find coins. I really do put a lot of effort and hard graft into my passion, my hobby and my channel. Its so pleasing to read all the amazing feedback :)
Hi Jill, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. The feedback from this one has been amazing, it is very rewarding and makes me proud of the content I upload. So thank you and I hope to see you again. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I love your videos were you detect is beautiful.metal detecting is pure escapism from the rat race and the best therapy for mental stress.keep on posting you do a fantastic job.
Yes you hit the nail on the head there, it is an escaoe from the real world and the stresses and regimes that come with it. Metal detecting is what keeps me on my feet, that and my lovely family who look after me 🥰 Lots more to come, next episode is something a little different
Hi Gareth , well it dosent get much better mate good weather a lovely silver pendant in fantastic condition and a bloody gold coin !! most detectors only dream about days like that including me in regards to the gold coin , well done mate you must be made up and another good video to boot hope all is good pal ATB Rob 👍👍💰💰
Hi mate, you are spot on, it definitely does not get better, glorious weather, glorious scenery, spring in full bloom, good company, good beer, good food, silver and a flipping amazing gold coin!! I know I have been more fortunate than most with regards to finding gold coins. But as a 100% pasture detectorist, only exploring and detecting these fabulous hillsides littered with footpaths, it just goes to show this is where the gold coins are. This is where all the coins are, I am living proof of this and have dug tens of thousands of coins over the last 8 years, so finding gold coins is inevitable for me. Thanks as always for tuning in and watching one of my favourite ever videos :)
I just watched it back and I can see the black dot, I have no idea!! Maybe it was a plane or helecopter very far away? Very well spotted by you though, I'd not spotted that !!
Now then Shawn, you know as well as I do, I'm never going to find a gold ring!! Had 3 hunts since this one and all 3 have been rubbish, curse of the gold has well n truly set in. It might be 3 weeks before I can get out again as got a busy period coming up. Thanks as always for tuning in, I assume you still not found that gold ring yet either?
Hello there, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch another of my videos. To be honest, since this amazing session, its all been very much downhill for my metal detecting and my channel - curse of the gold haha. I did open the silver box, but it was empty, such a cool find though. Thank you again and I really hope to see you on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Oh and thanks for the kind words.

Hi mate, the Deus2 will bang out those sovereigns all day long, 79-83 are very much sovereign numbers on Sensi FT. If you walk over them you aint missing them. And they are out there, millions and millions of them 😁
Hi mate, thank you for the very kind words. For only a 12 minute video, I spent such a long time meticulously putting it together, adding music, adding sound effect, cutting bits out etc. I was so happy with the final outcome though and this is a video I actually watched my self. Thanks as always for coming along. G
Hi mate, and great to see you in the comments. I appreciate every single person that watches my content and every single person that comments - apart from the Aholes who comment the negative stuff haha. Catch you on the next one. G
Hello there, it was a stunning day, the weather, the scenery, the finds. Could not have asked for anything more. Days like this are what its all about. Thanks so much for supporting my channel and watching this video, I hope to see you again. Gareth
Lovely silver box/pendant, could it be a small ladies snuff box? and what a fantastic "pre decimal" Edward V11 full sovereign, a classic example of if you put the hours in, then the rewards will come, well done Gareth.
Hi mate, the little silver thing is exquisite, I'd of been more than happy if that was my only good find of the day. To find a full Sovereign sat only a few inches away was just absolutely incredible. I do put in the hours, but I guess its about putting in the hours in the right sort of places and also getting very lucky. Thanks as always for your support and for watching. Gareth
Hi mate, thank so much for the kind words, you know I specialise in coin shooting, I've dug tens of thousands of coins. I always look for certain attributes when choosing the locations to get permission to detect. Attributes that mean there will be lots of coins. This gives me much more chance of finding gold coins, it is no coincidence this was my 9th gold coin unbelievably. Still can't find a gold ring though for love nor money!! Thanks for taking time out your day to watch, I hope to see you on my next episode. G
Hi Colin, thanks mate, it was an absolutely immense session, beautiful silver then beautiful gold back to back. We spent most of the day in the pub sat in the glorious sunshine. A real perfect day and perhaps my favourite of my videos I've ever made. Thanks so much for coming along and watching. Gareth
Hi there Fabian, thanks so much for your kind words. I spend a lot of money on music for my channel and spend a lot of time finding music I like and feel fits the themes of my channel and content. Makes me happy to receive comments like this, so thank you :)
Hello there Fabian, thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment. I think this has been my best day of 2023 so far, although I have had an amazing year in the fields. 2023 has been EPIC for me! Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Fabulous finds, I cannot imagine finding three gold coins in a year! Or production just continues to improve, most channels with musical interludes I'm grabbing for the fast forward button but I really enjoy yours, especially since you've added in the drone footage, well done keep up the great work (and finds 👍)
Hi there Gary, thanks so much for watching this video and for leaving such kind words, it is really appreciated. I do work hard on my content and try to create videos in my own unique style (that others are trying to emulate). I agree 2023 has been amazing for me finding 3 gold coins. September 2021 was the last time I was lucky enough to unearth gold. I've found 9 gold coins now in total in as many years, i feel blessed, but I know I have a proven nack of finding scenic pasture locations where I have a good chance of finding gold coins. Adding the drone to my kit list was awesome, my channel improved and grew so much and I absolutely love taking it out and seeing what I can capture. Love my hobby, love my channel and things are going relatively well at the moment. Onwards and upwards. Thanks again. Gareth

Hello there, thanks so much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. I did indeed open up the locket when I got home, but it was completely empty. I recently uploaded this video, showing 2 of my other best ever GOLD finds, you can see it here if you wish: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for ooming along and I very much hope to see you on my channel again.

Hi mate, yes one of the best days I've ever had metal detecting i think. Everything was perfect, weather, location, finds, food etc. Had 3 hunts since this one and all been the complete opposite haha. Curse of the gold for a few months!! Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and watching this video. The location is absolutely stunning and I place I love to metal detect. So to find a gold coin there for me was an absolute pleasure and will become a place and memory that I will remember until the day I die
Hello there Peter, thank you, I know I have had some amazing finds so far this year, but this one is up there at the very top I reckon. Its been a crazy year in the fields for me and I'm excited at the thought of what else I may find this year. Thanks for tuning in week after week and watching what I work so hard on uploading :) Catch you on the next one. G
Hi there, thank you so much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. One of my best ever days metal detecting :) Hope to see you again on some of my 300 other videos
Hi Gary, yes mate, I cannot seem to stop finding them. But I have dug tens of thousands of coins in my lifetime, I am a proper coin shooter and detect only places I will find coins. So inevitably I will find gold coins, lots of silver coins and thousands upon thousands of pre-decimals and crusty Georgians. Hope your week is going well and catch you on the next one. G
Hi mate, long time no see, hope you are doing well and still enjoying your metal detecting? Gosh this one seems like an eternity ago, in fact almost exactly 1 year ago, the last time I found anything gold. 2023 was my best ever year for gold, I don't expect to find any more for a few years! Thanks for the visit, have a great weekend
Hi Bobby thanks very much, a very very special day in the office for me. Very much enduring 'curse of the gold' now for the foreseeable future, lots more to come though. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
Hi mate, ah yes I managed to get this one uploaded during the day on Saturday. My broadband speed in my area is horrific, this 12 minute video took about 8 hours to upload. It's a never ending nightmare for me trying to upload. Fast fiber is supposed to be on its way, but its been on its way for several months!! Thanks as always for tuning in and watching. G
Thank you for the kind words. I very rarely watch my own videos as I don't have time. But I did watch this one on Sunday morning with my coffee and Rice Crispies haha. I am going to be looking at making more videos this length instead of the long winded 20 minute ones
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Sometimes a little quickie video is ideal, even more so with some lovely gold included 😍 You'll be hoping you e not peaked too early this year! Haha. My last gold was about 6 years ago now, so I'm due some soon!
@@TheAyrshireDetectorist I'm sure it will come along when you least expect it. I'm still absolutely desperate to find a gold ring of any kind, its my top bucketlister!!
Hi there, it is an incredibly beautiful coin, I thought long n hard whether I should include it on the thumbnail as it kinda spoils the surprise. But I really struggled with creating this thumbnail. A gold ring is at the very top of my metal detecting bucket list, been detecting over 8 years now and I just cannot find a gold ring for love nor money. Thanks so much for taking 12 minutes out of your day to watch this video :) Gareth
Hi there mate, thank you, quite possibly my best metal detecting day of 2023, and I've had some great days this year!! Curse of the gold now, 3 hunts since this have been absolute garbage haha. Thanks as always for coming along. G
Hi there Graham, thanks very much for visiting my metal detecting channel, for watching this video and leaving me a comment. I currently use the XP Deus 2, before that I used an XP ORX and before that a Garrett AT Pro. Do you metal detect? I uploaded this video recently which shows 2 of my best ever GOLD finds, which I found on the same field, just 7 days apart: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for coming along, and I very much hope to see you on my channel again. Gareth
I second the quality of Carl’s spades! Digging the very hard dry fields of Ashbourne and I have 100% faith in the spade. He even made it to a bespoke length etc. Check out Noble MDT 👌🏼
Hi Steven, I used to do a LOT of metal detecting in and around Ashbourne, that's where I really learnt my trade, where I discovered how much I loved this hobby and unearthed my best ever find there. Don't get up that way much anymore as its now a 40 minute drive away. I try and get up that way several times a year to to re-visit old stomping grounds. But yeah Carl's spades are mint, proper works of art !!
Wow, what a great find! My question is, what happened next? Do you need to sell the gold sovereign and share it with the landowner? How much did you get to keep?
Hello there, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch this video. Each landowner is different, some have no interest in finds. In this case I will probably have to give the landowner 50% of the estimated value. This could be an expensive day for me! Thanks again and I hope to see you again. Gareth
A couple if cracking finds there kiddah. I'm still left wondering though...whats in the box...or, was it, a broken pendant/locket maybe? It appeared to have a snapped off loop on the tip of the box is all.
Hello there, apologies for the slow reply, I took some time off from the hobby and my channel. But I am back, i hope!! The silver box did indeed open, but it was completely empty, so who knows what it could have contained once upon a time. I have to say since this day, I have had nothing but problems with my metal detector and not found anything exciting and lost enthusiasm. I am trying to re-gather my love for the hobby and hopefully be back out this weekend after 3 weeks off. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire They can't all be, to coin a phrase...HEAVY HIT, AFTER, HEAVY HIT! ...you'll be reet! You just need to go somewhere you've never think of before and see what you can see. No need to apologise...life's tricky to juggle when you have a nipper in tow. I'm sure she likes watching her daddy whatever you're pulling up out the ground!
I would love to see a filmed re-enactment of the moments the items fell into the the ground from your perspective 😀 Maybe one day if you get the opportunity to do that as your channel grows or you can get others onboard to produce and collab for their channel, like an actors drama youtube channel or something? I'd watch this as a show if it was on TV with the production of a major channel absolutely no problem Quality stuff 👍
Hello there, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and watching this video. I would imagine most of those re-enactments would be very similar. Someone sits down on the grass to catch their breath or take a drink. While sat, the contents of their trouser pockets unknowingly to them, empties on the grass. They get up, walk off and hey presto, they are ours to find after the earth swiftly consumes them :) Haha my channel will only ever be a 1 man band - Me. I do everything, all the filming, all the planning, all the editing. But I love it. Thanks again for tuning in. Gareth
Hi Shaun, I am very lucky that I love and metal detect in such a wonderful area. I never travel far to metal detect, I am only interested in local history. You will very rarely see me digging outside of Derbyshire. Thanks so much for choosing to watch my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope to see you on the next episode. Gareth
Hi there Brad, welcome to my channel, thanks so much for coming along and watching this video. I opened the pendant and it was completely empty. Such a beautiful little find and sits proudly in my display cabinet now. Thanks again and I hope to see you again. Have a look at this video of 2 of my other epic GOLD finds which I found on the same field 7 days apart: th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html
The locket/pendant was likely made by John Culver of Clerkenwell in London in 1887. He used the Birmingham assay office between 1887 and 1902. The date leter n would indicate 1887.
Hi Peter, you hit the nail on the head there it is indeed John Culver. I did discover this, but not until I had finished editing the video. It sure is a beautiful little find, love finding things like that. But the gold coin was an absolute dream! Thanks so much for taking time out your day to watch this video, I very much hope to see you again. Gareth
Hi Mark, this was only a short hunt as we spent half the day in the pub just down the road. It really was a dream session for me, I don't think Carl was too happy me finding that, it's definitely someone else's turn to find gold (definitely not yours either hahaha). I really enjoyed the footage I captured and enjoyed putting this short video together, one of my absolute favourites. Thanks as always for coming along to my channel, hope to see you on the next episode - spoiler - no gold or silver!! Gareth
It sure does. When I got my Deus2, it took me 15 months to find my first gold with it. Bit then 7 days later my 2nd came along and a couple months after that, number 3 came along. I hope the D2 can bag me a couple more and over take my ORX and become my most successful machine ever!!
Hi mate, thank you, I must admit I am having my best ever year in this hobby, 3 gold coins and 3 hammered silver coins in only a few months is crazy for me!! I feel like I am learning the types of places which give me the best chance to find a gold coin. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and for leaving me a comment. I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. That is a great question! Ultimately it is gravity that makes a coin disappear under ground. But there are other factors and conditions such as soil type, temperature, moisture, ground movement, even moles and worms affect the depth of finds. It is not uncommon to find a modern 2p say 8 inches deep, then your next signal might be a medieval silver coin only 4 inches deep. All down to gravity. I hope this helps answer your question? I also hope to see you on my channel again
Hi Paul, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I did indeed open the locket, it was completely empty, no trace of anything at all. So who knows what this was used for, but it was a very pretty little find and now sits proudly in my glass cabinet. Thanks again for watching, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire - I hit the Sub. Not the first of your vids I have enjoyed. My Channel is Metal Detecting with Lugnut. I haven't post lately because of gas prices in the US$$$. Been hunting Native Artifacts in local streams. Stull fun and interesting. Still keep the Detector at the ready.

@@tonilauge5786 I've mentioned it to him a couple times but he wasn't interested. Don't think I would be either if my permissions were knee deep in hammered coins, Roman coins and what not 🤣
Hahaha, do you have any idea when the last time I found a note in the street?? I was actually metal detecting about 6 years ago, walking up a footpath to the field I found a £5 note, then a couple yard up the path I spotted another one. Jackpot!! Very rarely find money in the streets these days. Having said that, I picked up a battered 1p yesterday, I'm a proper scrubber!!
Hi Robert, thanks very much for visiting my channel and watching this video. The Edward VII Sovereign is 8 grams of 22 carat gold. Something like this is worth around £450. A very good pay day indeed. I would never sell this coin. Thanks again and hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Well done m8 👍 My very first Gold coin was an Edward half sovereign, decades ago, with my old silver sabre. I new nothing about him except he was quite old when viccy died and he had a short reign, I thought it would be worth a fortune, ( I had no spinks , Google etc didn't exist) so I couldn't look up prices , I got 40quid, I use to sell anything for the right price when I first started detecting. I still get ###### off when I think about some of the things I didn't understand how rare things like my early Saxon stirrup mount was :/ I don't even have pics of my early finds . I was lucky ( or unlucky) that my first permission was full of things from bronze age and onwards. I just thought all fields were the same, how wrong how very wrong I was ... Atb ,,
Hi mate thanks for watching and thanks for your great comments, congrats on your first gold coin all those years ago. What a nightmare finding awesome finds back then but not being able to photograph them. But, I bet most fields were full of signals and full of finds. Yeah you were definitely wrong, I've been to plenty of places where I've barely found anything, but then you don't know if its already been hoovered up by groups or other detectorists. Its a strange hobby !
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire np , whenever I talk to people outside the hobby they don't realise how many hours, days weeks, we put into all the searching before finding something good. My latest interest are the early lead bullets, or minie balls, I've found a small area that must have been used for testing them , I have complete ones and ones splattered almost flat , some have the copper or iron plug in the hollow rear end . I was watching a video about redcoats and the changes in rifles and projectiles and saw a couple of minie balls and was , I have some of those, I'd never paid much attention before but have returned to the place that has little else tbh and have found a bunch all slightly different to others . Your absolutely right, it is a strange old hobby ;) Happy hunting.
Now then mate, aye I'm doing very well in the fields this year, 3 silver hammered and 3 gold, I cannot grumble at that. Pleases me to know you still tune in and see what I'm getting up to. Hopefully see you in August youth

Beautiful video as usual ♥️
Hello and Greetings to you Olem, I have to say you are one of the most generous people I have ever come across. Honestly cannot tell you how much I appreciate your kindness and generosity. You really help to keep my channel going. Just this month I had to pay £110 for a years subscription to the site I get my music, £32 to an app I use to edit thumbnails and £50 for the subscription to my editing Software. An expensive month for the Dukes :) I have been very lucky this year having found 3 gold coins, but I have worked very hard for them. Thanks as always for your amazing support, you are a top guy. Have a great week. Gareth
I can only dream of hunting countryside like that. Simply beautiful brother. Thx for bringing us along with you.
Hello there, what part of the world do you metal detect? I am very lucky to live and detect in a beautiful part of the UK and I hope my enthusiasm and love for these places comes across in my channel? I am a huge lover of the great outdoors, been out in places like this helps keep me healthy. Thanks for coming along and watching this video, I really appreciate it. Hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Awesome finds as usual!!! And what a beautiful place to dig. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!!!!!!
Hi there, thanks so much for such an awesome comment, I really appreciate it. Everything about this day was amazing, the weather, the scenery and the finds, one of those perfect metal detecting days. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Plenty of well deserved swearing going on lol. What an incredible day. One of the luckiest metal detectorists out there my friend. You deserve it.
Hi Nathaniel, definitely some choice swear words went on there!! This was pretty much the perfect metal detecting session, stunning weather, stunning scenery, stunning finds. Most people know that I am a coinshooter, when looking for permissions, I look for the same set of attributes in a piece of landscape that tells me there will be a LOT of coins. I have dug tens of thousands of coins in my 8 years metal detecting, probably 25,000 or more. I find thousands of modern coins, thousands of pre decimal coins, thousands of crusty Georgians, hundreds of silver coins and yes a hand full of gold coins. When you dig the amount of coins I do, finding gold coins is a full blown certainty. But yes a stroke of luck is also required, but I am no way in a million the luckiest detectorist out there, far from it in fact. The lucky ones are the ones who don't have to go to work anymore and the ones who find life changing finds
Mate, I can testify how honest your channel is, and how genuine you are. Keep the videos coming I enjoy them, even if they do make me feel very envious 😂
Hi mate, thank you I appreciate that and I know my own morals and honesty. But there are some out there who find it too unbelievable but who are too quick to judge before taking the time to learn about someone and learn about their channel. It really aggravates me when I receive negative comments, but I try to take it as a sign my channel is growing, and I gotta take the rough with the smooth. Luckily the smooth far outweighs the rough. Thanks as always and catch you on the next one. G
Great day with a gold plus the nice silver item.Finding gold gives you such a buzz and I have had a few of them too.The best of my gold sovereigns came after I found what I thought was a shottie but when I turned it over and cleaned it staring at me was a Victorian Sovereign.Just to top that as I pressed out the coin there were three altogether.It was a sprung container that would probably have been secreted under a walking cane handle.What a day.
Hi there Dave, wow thanks so much for telling me about that amazing find, multiple sovereign wow! Many years ago I found one of them sovereign holders.... Mine was empty!! But I have since found 3 full sovereigns, so I'm happy now haha. As always thanks so much for taking time out your day to watch my videos and support my channel. I look forward to catching you on the next episode. Gareth
Great video as always. Lovely gold sovereign. Imagine the heartache for the person that lost it. Great silver as well, what a day. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Hi there mate, thank you for the kind words. yes, totally agree, who ever lost this had a bad day. But I always say whoever was walking around with gold coins in their pockets probably had a lot more and were most likely wealthy people. But as with all finds in our wonderful hobby, their losses are our gains. Imagine if nobody had ever dropped a coin in history, metal detecting would be rubbish haha. Thanks so much for watching. G
Quality filming editing and content what a belter of an episode I felt I was there with you👍
Hi Neil thank you very much for such kind words, for only 12 minutes of video, I put a lot of work and a lot of time into this one trying to make it right. I was really happy with the outcome and it is one of few of my own videos I have actually sat down and watched myself :) One of my channel goals is to try to take the viewer with me on my metal detecting adventures, i am pleased I achieved that in this video. Thanks again and I hope to see you on the next episode. Gareth
Well done you. Really good video, with the great music, aerial footage & countryside. Very well presented , especially with the stunning finds. That Edwardian person would've been devastated, at the loss of a sovereign. Terrific find. Bless up bro 👊
Hi Nick, thanks very much for the kind words and awesome comments. I do really appreciate comments regarding the music I choose and my drone shots. I spend a lot of time trawling through music trying to find stuff that fits my channel. I imagine whoever lost that sovereign was upset, but I also imagine he had a pocket full and wouldn't of missed it. Their losses our always our gains, this hobby is amazing! Thanks as always for coming along. G

Hello there, thanks so much for watching this video, I absolutely love this comment. I would of been happy enough to find the silver trinket thing, it was lovely. But to find a full sovereign only a few inches away was amazing. Gold coins usually come up in mint condition as they were not passed around like copper and silver coins.

Hi Paddy, thanks for the kind words mate, I must admit since this day (5 or 6 weeks ago) my metal detecting has been awful, I even thought about quitting and ditching my channel. I took 2 full weeks away from it all in the hope to re-gather some love and enthusiasm for it all again. I hope to start uploading again next week, but we'll see. Hope you guys are doin well? I not heard from your old man in a while, his chickens keepin him busy!!
Cracking vid as always mate, love the silver box, and as for the sovereign, absolutely fantastic, the buz you get when the edge sticks out of the ground is just amazing and never gets any less exciting, you did forget to do the gold dance though ! lol
Hi mate, thank you. The silver vinaigrette tin was absolutely stunning, but to find a full sovereign only a few inches away was just unreal. Best day of 2023 I reckon!! You will never ever see me do a gold dance, far too cringey for me that sort of thing :) Thanks as always for coming along, taking time out your day to watch and for supporting my channel.

Well done mate , you more than deserve all your finds , your enthusiasm and energy for this hobby is truly inspiring, anyone who shares your passion in this field will know that your channel and finds are 100% , let the haters hate mate , keep at it 👍🏼
Hi Lee, thanks for your awesome comments and kind words, it is really appreciated. To be honest, its only the short videos that receive any negativity. I think its because they get picked up by a lot of none detectorists and none subscribers. Some of my short videos have got massive amounts of views, they are a great tool for the channel, but they can bring in some negativity. But what ya do eh, it is the internet after all :) Thanks again for your very kind words, since this find, the fields have been very tough going, curse of the gold!!
Such an awesome find! New or old it’s all buried treasure. Love that silver pendant and that gold coin is stunning!
Hi there Greg, everything we dig is treasure, I've actually kept everything I've ever found. All my trash gets either disposed of or recycled, the modern coins go to the bank and everything else lives in my garage, the good stuff and the gold and silver lives in my display and coin box.This was my best day of 2023 so far, a real joy been out there, finding those 2 amazing items, capturing the day and making this video. Thanks for making time to watch. Gareth
Thank you for sharing your experiences. You can find anything there. It’s not easy, but that’s what makes it so grand to find items regardless of physical value mate. That’s the attraction for me. Those intimate items are the special bonus
Hi Steve, thanks for the great comments and also for taking time out your day to watch and support my channel. Metal detecting for myself and most other passionate detectorists out there is nothing to do with finding valuable items and treasure. Its about been out there in the countryside and the elements relieving the stresses of life. But it is always awesome when something like this pops up now and again. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
I just watched the full video mate well done once again.👍🙌👍
Hi Peter, thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it. Definitely one of my best videos. I try to make my videos as short as possible, instead of boring folk to death with 40 or 50 minute videos :)
Fantastic bud !!!!
Well done !

(Metal detecting Wiltshire)
Hi there Rich, thank you very much for watching this video and for the comments. It's been quite a year finding 3 gold coins already. By far my best ever year for gold in almost 9 years in the hobby. I must admit since this one its been all down hill and I've come close to quitting the hobby and giving up on my TH-cam channel. I took the decision to have 2 weeks away from TH-cam in the hope it would rejuvenate me, re-inspire me and bring back some love and creativity. I hope to start uploading again next week. Thanks again. Gareth
Nice one bud on the full Sovereign, makes it all worth while. Great Victorian silver box too. My last two sessions out have produced double silver for me on both days on the permission, but still after my gold find. I will keep at it, got to happen some day with so much silver coming up out of the same field. I live in hope. All the best and may the great finds keep coming. HH
Hi mate, sounds like you have had a couple of really successful hunts there, well played sir. I was happy enough with that Victorian silver tin thing, it was truly stunning, but to find a full sovereign just inches away was amazing!! Curse of the gold has definitely hit me hard, 3 hunts since this one and been pretty awful haha. But I will keep going and keep slaying this area as where there is 3, there is more!! Your first gold will come sooner or later if you keep getting out there
Another great video Gareth and an amazing find! This is beginnin' to get into a habit! Well done findin' a full sovereign!! And an Edward one - seeing he wasn't king for that long. Love the vids and all the best to you and't family.
Hi there Troy, it is definitely a habit mate, this was my 9th gold coin. But I've explained to several people in the comments, I am an expert coin shooter, I only metal detect on places with certain attributes where I know I will find coins. Over the years I've dug tens of thousands of pre-decimal coins, crusty Georgian and modern coins. But the bi-product to this is hundreds and hundreds of silver coins and a handful of gold coins. Clearly don't find gold rings on these locations though haha. Thanks as always for coming along mate, hope to see you on the next episode. Gareth
Just found you on you tube, seen quite a few done by others but you have a gift on presentation and honesty. Will continue to look out for further episode from you.
Hello there Geoff, welcome to my channel, where about's are you from? Thank you very much for your very kind words, I really appreciate it.

Thanks again and have a good day. Gareth
Huge congratulations on the gold n silver finds G..what a weekend you had.🎉
Hi mate, cheers buddy, it was indeed an amazing weekend, I spent Friday night, all day Saturday and Saturday night metal detecting with Marcus, then Sunday metal detecting with Carl. I was utterly exhausted by the end of it and falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm Sunday night. But it was so worth it doing what I love doing and trying to capture events to the best of my ability and put these videos together. I have been metal detecting 3 times since and had 3 really bad days in the office, curse of the gold. Thanks as always for your awesome support. G
Excellent you detected this field. A real money field for sure. Hope you and the family are healthy and happy. See you on the next, Gareth. Cheers buddy! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hi there Martin how are you doing my friend? Great to hear from you. Signals might be hard to come by here but man the quality of finds is amazing, perhaps my best day metal detecting in some time!! Myself and the girls are all doing OK thanks, we are finally off on a family holiday soon to Lanzarote, it cannot come soon enough, I need a break from work, from metal detecting, my channel and everything else. But I will return rejuvenated :)
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Glad to hear you and the family are well. Enjoy the family holiday is Lanzarote. I have been diagnosed with a possible stroke, and that many have caused the fall back in August 2022 to transpire. The doctor will have to do bloodwork test and brain examinations. The possibility of driving again are slim. Have my Subaru Forster up for sale. It’s a 2020 with 5,200 miles on it. Hate to give it up for sale, but the depreciation on it runs about $3000.00 per year. So out it goes. The most beautiful and amazing SUV I’ve ever owned.
I hope your trip is a great one, and email me when you get back home. Have a happy and safe trip. Cheers to the family.
@@martinmarsola6477 hopefully only a minor stroke. We'll talk over emails Martin, not away for until next week. Sorry to hear about the car. I literally just gave one of my work colleagues my 2021 Subura Impreza remote control rally car, boxed! Been sat unused for 22 years amd he is a radio control car enthusiast, so thought he could get some joy out of it
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Nice! Again when you leave, have a wonderful trip! Hello to Sarah and Mila! God bless you and your families.
First pre decimal of the day is a full sovereign, and an Edward 7th at that... wow!
Well done, as always.
That bit of silver is a beautiful find too.. what a short session. 🎉
Hi mate, yeah that's not a bad pre decimal coin to start the day with. I would of been more than happy finding only the Victorian silver thing, but to add a full sov only moments later was immense and such a buzz. Definitely gona be on a rough patch now for a few months. Thanks as always for tuning in. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I don't think you'll have a rough patch... you're on a roll!
Well done again. 😀
Apasionantes tus ayazgos...
Enhorabuena por ese Oro!!!!🫡
Hello there and greetings, thank you so much for your kind words and thanks for taking the time to watch. I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Te miro y te leo traducido al español en los subtitulos.
Un saludo y te espero en el próximo episodio.
Well done Gareth. Silver and gold in the one day and nearly in the same hole. Ripper finds mate. Great spot, weather, company and a couple of bonuses. What could be better. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Hi Andrew, yes proper dream day for me this was, like you say, great location, great weather, great company and great finds. I felt bad for Carl and his Minelab only finding a couple of modern 10 pence coins. But that's the hobby, it is a lottery! Thanks for coming along. G
Great dig & stunning Ed V11 Sov'. What a coin M8! Keep 'em coming Gareth, cheers, John.
Hi there John, thank you for the amazing comments. I know I put in the graft and the hours searching the right kind of places, but I do agree I have been very fortunate this year having found 3 gold coins now so far this year. Curse of the gold has struck though, my next 3 sessions after this have been pretty poor haha. Thanks as always for coming along, see you on the next one. G
Good stuff for sure. Maybe one day I'll find me some gold but i really like that little silver box. Wonder what they kept in it..
Hello there, thanks so much for coming along to my channel and for taking the time to watch this video and leave me a comment. The little silver box was a wonderful find for me. That is a good question whatever they kept in it must have been small. Who ever lost it, passed away a very long time ago, I will look after this piece for them for the duration of my lifetime :) You will find gold one day if you keep getting out there every week, week after week, month after month, through rain, through ice, through wind, its out there, tonnes and tonnes of the stuff. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Congratulations on the finds. Well done.
Hey there Chuck, thanks very much for watching another of my videos. This was an EPIC day out in the Derbyshire spring sunshine and unearthing one of the best coins I have ever found!! Thanks for joining me and I hope to see you again on my channel soon. Gareth
Congrats!! And Mila is the perfect model for it.
Hello there, thank you. Aww yes mila made a grand model, and I could not get that coin off her, she kept sayin "mila's gold, mila's gold" haha. Thanks as always for coming along and experiencing these moments with me. G
😂 That girl has her priorities straight already!
@@fiberotter gona have to get a lock for my studio room where all my coins are cuz she can open doors now 🤦
😅🤣😂
These are absolutely delightful find, congratulations! I'm impressed with your passion for the search, you're so lucky! Sovereign is incredible, I understand your feelings at the moment of finding it :) The video quality is great too, good luck!
Hello there, thanks so much for visiting my channel, watching this video and leaving your awesome comment. It was a very lucky day for me, in fact this was my 3rd gold coin find of 2023, it's been my best ever year for gold. Thanks again for your kind words and I hope to see you again on my channel. Gareth
a quality stunning video and to top it of Gareth ,a beautiful silver locket and a amazing gold sovereign well done cheers
Hi James, thanks for such kind words. For such a short video, a whole lot of work went into it and I was super happy with the final outcome, I don't often watch my own videos, but I did sit down and watch this one. Thanks again and I will catch you on the next episode. G
Ey up gaz,
Love your videos and your enthusiasm. Ive been detecting now for approx a year in calderdale, I`ve found a bronze age axe head approx 4000 years old, a gold ring currently with the FLO, a superb Bullhead 1817 shilling and lots of silver and pennies and enough lead/iron/ring pulls/buttons/tin cans/and bits of scrap to sink a battleship. Its easy to get disheartened especially when your not having any luck for months and its easy to forget that we do this hobby because we love being out there , in the fields and meadows and moors and admiring this bloody great country we live in, with its history. i still get the same feeling when i find a penny as i did a year ago but when you do find something worthwhile, just pause, savour the moment like you did and the feeling is hard to describe. People ask me how much is the axe head worth, but its irrelevant because i would never part with it. Keep the videos coming.... A hearty handshake from Gods own County
Hi mate, thanks for your awesome comment, apologies for the slow reply, I've been on my holidays. Wow you have done very well in your first year, I am yet to find a complete BA axe head OR a gold ring. I must admit I am struggling with my channel at the moment, I have little enthusiasm for the metal detecting world at the moment. I hope to return soon though. Thanks again for your kind words. G
Mr. Gold.... Beautiful coin. Congrats Mate and thx for a sublime video
Hi there mate, haha Mr Gold is a very appropriate name at the moment, normally on a really really good year I will find 1 piece of gold, but to have found 3 gold coins before June is amazing for me and I'm so happy. Thanks so much for tuning in each week and watching, supporting my channel. Mr Gold
Just catching up on your vids. What a day you had. Lovely sovereign but that little silver (vinaigrette/snuff??) box is a beaut. Even the Vicky penny was stunning condition.
Hi mate, I have to be honest, since this day it has pretty much been all downhill. Curse of the gold is real, let me tell you haha. You are right that little vinaigrettes box was absolutely stunning, but to find an Edward VII Sovereign not 3 steps away was just incredible. Perfect metal detecting session that was. Don't think I have been up here since, I will return very soon!! Thanks so much for tuning in. G
Gareth great find my friend 👌I've been on off on TH-cam, My father is not well been helping him out, But do the catch ups on what I've missed 👍🏼 Awesome watching always 🍺
Hi there Pete, very good to hear from you buddy, I am very sorry to hear that your father is unwell. There are far more important things in life than TH-cam, especially family. Sending my best wishes. Gareth
Never found gold yet mate must be a great feeling got my dance all prepared as well great finds Gareth smashing video again and great roundup good hunting mate 👍👊🎧👊
Hi mate, good to hear from you. This was actually my 11th gold find and the feeling is the same every time, although NOTHING compares to that first one, especially if its a coin. Finding my first gold coin was very special. Yours will come if you keep getting out there every weekend, week after week. It will come when you least expect it and probably on a patch you done already!!
A great days detecting once more, lovely silver case and what a coin, lovely sovereign and it's very clean tbh, definitely both good for your display case. I had to do a search for someone's silver pendant while on holiday in wales, luckily just got back to the pub, took me about 10 minutes to find it and reunited with the owner. Hope you and the family are well, keep it up
Hi Sam, gold is always clean as its a metal that doesn't tarnish. It will come out the ground exactly how it went in, no matter how long its been there. Also, gold coins are almost always in near mint condition as they were not passed around millions of times like pennies. Well done on finding the lost pendant, job well done mate
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire yeah very true I just think I always expect gold to be abit worn, obviously not battered but still worn, but happy days at the moment for you 😁
You are getting better in every video Gareth, my son has a word for that :Epic !!! Be happy and proud mate. 👏👏👌👍
Hello there Gustavo, thanks so much for this very kind and amazing compliment. I am always trying to improve the content I upload regardless of finds. It helps when I find something good and also when the weather and scenery are so beautiful. Please pass my regards to your son and I hope to see you both on my next metal detecting episode. Gareth
Love the silver tin and the sovereign wow hope to find some gold again soon myself maybe today that's the buzz with this hobby
Hi Dave, that is exactly the buzz of this hobby, you never quite know what could be lurking in that very next hole - although most of the time we have a good idea. I'd of been more than happy to find that piece of silver, but to find gold moments after finding silver was just dreamy. A real special day for me and another magical moment in my metal detecting career. Thanks so much for coming along and sharing it with me. G
Lead, copper, silver & GOLD!
Only missing some bronze mate! Amazing sovereign and I love that tiny silver box! Have you opened it?
Hi Mark, yeah a very good selection of metals on this one :) I did open the silver box shortly after finding it. After 100 years in the earth I was amazed how easy it opened and the hinge to be in full working condition. This is why this hobby is so fascinating, we get to find these little antique works of art and beautiful gold coins... There is not other hobby like it!! Thank again for watching. G
Perfect Sunday morning viewing. Just watched Ash’s latest from the other week & now your adventure from the day after our wild camping! Absolute corker of a coin Gaz mate! Well done 👏 and another lovely episode!!x
Marcus !! Great to hear from you mate. I checked Ash's channel, no video for months, he's lost his metal detecting mojo big time unfortunately. What a weekend of metal detecting this was, spending a couple nights with you, a full days detecting with you, then hard at it again the next day and finding gold on the hill in beautiful spring conditions. One of my best ever sessions and perhaps my favourite ever video, and one I can say I sat down and watched. Thanks as always for taking time out your day to watch and support. G
Absolutely amazing and great footage as always, thanks for sharing bud 😎👊
Hi mate thanks as always for the kind words and for tuning in and watching this video. Definitely one of my favourite finds and favourite videos. I actually sat down and watched this one, something I very rarely do!! Thanks again and hope to catch you on the next episode. G
I’m hooked on your vids mate top fella and top finds always
Hi Steven, thanks very much for coming along to my channel, for watching this video and for leaving your awesome comments. This video is one of my personal favourites, an absolutely breathtaking little session with Carl. Had a tough couple of weeks and had some important stuff to take care of at home so took a couple of weeks away from metal detecting and TH-cam, but I hope to be back very soon. Thanks again. Gareth
Congrats on the gold, mate. I love the silver box. Again, I couldnt believe the bloody 2p...
Ive realized that people may find them in their pockets and just chuck them.
Hi mate, thanks as always for coming along and choosing to donate some of your free time in watching what I upload. I have to say the silver find was exquisite and thought my day had peaked at that point. Literally only a few moments later I was digging a gold coin (again), this hobby has been crazy for me this year!! This permission has a footpath going straight through it and I regularly see hikers, so finding the odd modern coin here and there is normal. But man them 1p and 2p coins give cracking signals, which I'm sure you know. Thanks again and catch you on the next one I hope. G
Gary from Oregon, USA, phenomenal find. Hey sweet hunt.
Hey Gary from Oregon in the USA, thanks so much for visiting my channel today and for watching this video. This already seems a lifetime ago, but it was only a few months back. Unbelievably, this was the 3rd gold coin I found in as many months back in early 2023. Those other videos are on my channel too. Thanks again for coming along and I very much hope to see you on my channel again. Have a great weekend. Gareth
Awesome finds! And cinematic landscapes!
Hi Kevin, ah cool, you watched :) This is one of my favourite ever videos. Been there was awesome, I captured some amazing footage and really enjoyed editing. Really appreciate you coming along again, I've racked up over 250 videos on my channel over the last 4 years, hope to see you again. Have a great day. Gareth
Wow well deserved and good luck on the next!
Hi Jacob, cheers buddy. I have been detecting 3 times since this one and all 3 times have been rubbish! Curse of the gold for the next few months I imagine. But I don't care, I'll still be out there every weekend doing what i do and its only a matter of time until my next great find. Thanks again. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire that's a great detectorist mindset right there!
Only positive vibes on this channel my friend
You’ve certainly put the hours in and deserve every single one of your amazing finds.
Hi Andrew, apologies for the slow reply, I took 2 weeks off from my channel and have only just recently returned. I have put my heart and sole into my hobby and into my channel, so it is amazing to be rewarded with such amazing finds. I have to say since this its been absolute rubbish and I've almost quit metal detecting. But I've picked myself back up!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire everyone needs a break from time to time. I sometimes go weeks without detecting. No worries on the late reply. I only comment to let you know I’ve dropped by and appreciate your content. No pressure on you, take it easy if you can
@@AndrewRobinsonDirtDiggers cheers Andrew, the constant pressure of trying to upload every week has slowly but surely took it out of me. I think I'm going to upload less and probably shorter videos too. Not enough hours in a day at the moment
Wow this hobby never fails to amaze us 😊 like you said it's time put in and when the ground is ready to give up it's treasure ❤ how often have you covered a patch of ground and one day something special comes up. No doubt the DII will find you something a lot of other machines won't. A simple decimal 1/2p only 6inch down and my friends couldn't pick it up and my DII picked it up? I put it down to the FMF 😮 if your luck keeps up your on for 3 more Gold this year 🤞love the shot with the sovereign in Milla's hand ✋ ❤ it look huge. Her bump on her head is healing up well she's your real treasure. Awesome video as always PMA has come through for you 💥
Hi there Stephen, its not just time spent in the field, but its also about choosing land. I have a set of attributes I look for where I know I will find coins, lots of coins! I've dug tens of thousands of coins in my metal detecting career, mostly modern, pre-decimal and Georgian, but the bi-product of all this coin digging is that along with the hundreds and hundreds of silver ones, is the odd gold coin here and there. It is no coincidence that I have now found 9 in 8 years detecting. Yes some good luck and fortune, right place at the right time. But land selection + man hours is the key. Mila's head has healed up nicely but she will have a scar for many years. We put bio oil on it every day in the hope it will fade and disappear. Thanks as always for choosing to watch my channel. Gareth
Hey Gareth. I believe! Well done mate. That's a stunning day's finds. Was waiting for you to open the pendant. I'm guessing it's too fragile? Fields of Gold 😉
Hey there Del, great to hear from you, apologies for the slow response, I been away from TH-cam for a couple of weeks. I did open the pendant but it was empty. I must say since this day, my metal detecting has took a huge downward spiral. But I am hoping I am back and will start uploading again soon. Gareth
Wow..cracking finds,well found mate...👍👍
Hello there Vlad, thank you buddy, it was certainly a dream day metal detecting for me, gold and silver :) Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
hello and wow what a coin i do love your land your so lucky the views are fab well found all the best Anne 🌈
Hello there Anne, yes this was an epic find for me and one of the most beautiful coins I've ever found, so chuffed it was an Edward VII. I spend a lot of time trying to find beautiful places to metal detect, and places I know where I can find coins. I really do put a lot of effort and hard graft into my passion, my hobby and my channel. Its so pleasing to read all the amazing feedback :)
Fantastic video well done amazing finds ❤
Hi Jill, thanks very much for visiting my channel and taking time out your day to watch this video. The feedback from this one has been amazing, it is very rewarding and makes me proud of the content I upload. So thank you and I hope to see you again. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire I love your videos were you detect is beautiful.metal detecting is pure escapism from the rat race and the best therapy for mental stress.keep on posting you do a fantastic job.
Yes you hit the nail on the head there, it is an escaoe from the real world and the stresses and regimes that come with it. Metal detecting is what keeps me on my feet, that and my lovely family who look after me 🥰 Lots more to come, next episode is something a little different
Hi Gareth , well it dosent get much better mate good weather a lovely silver pendant in fantastic condition and a bloody gold coin !! most detectors only dream about days like that including me in regards to the gold coin , well done mate you must be made up and another good video to boot hope all is good pal ATB Rob 👍👍💰💰
Hi mate, you are spot on, it definitely does not get better, glorious weather, glorious scenery, spring in full bloom, good company, good beer, good food, silver and a flipping amazing gold coin!! I know I have been more fortunate than most with regards to finding gold coins. But as a 100% pasture detectorist, only exploring and detecting these fabulous hillsides littered with footpaths, it just goes to show this is where the gold coins are. This is where all the coins are, I am living proof of this and have dug tens of thousands of coins over the last 8 years, so finding gold coins is inevitable for me. Thanks as always for tuning in and watching one of my favourite ever videos :)
what is the black dot at 8 minute 30 above the drone, i noticed it.
I just watched it back and I can see the black dot, I have no idea!! Maybe it was a plane or helecopter very far away? Very well spotted by you though, I'd not spotted that !!
Wow stunning gold coin and the silver pendant well done bud 👍 looking forward to your next video “gold ring “ I best start saving 🤣👍
Now then Shawn, you know as well as I do, I'm never going to find a gold ring!! Had 3 hunts since this one and all 3 have been rubbish, curse of the gold has well n truly set in. It might be 3 weeks before I can get out again as got a busy period coming up. Thanks as always for tuning in, I assume you still not found that gold ring yet either?
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire not yet bud I’m out Sunday so fingers crossed 👍
Good luck to you sir. I cant remember the arrangement we had in place. Was it whoever finds one buys the other a crate of beer?

Hello there, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch another of my videos. To be honest, since this amazing session, its all been very much downhill for my metal detecting and my channel - curse of the gold haha. I did open the silver box, but it was empty, such a cool find though. Thank you again and I really hope to see you on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Oh and thanks for the kind words. Gareth
Fantastic Gareth...another gold...now i know what the sovereigns come in at for my deus 2...and that silver box is stunning 😊
Hi mate, the Deus2 will bang out those sovereigns all day long, 79-83 are very much sovereign numbers on Sensi FT. If you walk over them you aint missing them. And they are out there, millions and millions of them 😁
Beautifully shot as usual mate. Ripper finds well done!
Hi mate, thank you for the very kind words. For only a 12 minute video, I spent such a long time meticulously putting it together, adding music, adding sound effect, cutting bits out etc. I was so happy with the final outcome though and this is a video I actually watched my self. Thanks as always for coming along. G
Great to see you again! 🌷👍
Hi mate, and great to see you in the comments. I appreciate every single person that watches my content and every single person that comments - apart from the Aholes who comment the negative stuff haha. Catch you on the next one. G
Looks like it was a gorgeous day. Nice gold!
Hello there, it was a stunning day, the weather, the scenery, the finds. Could not have asked for anything more. Days like this are what its all about. Thanks so much for supporting my channel and watching this video, I hope to see you again. Gareth
Lovely silver box/pendant, could it be a small ladies snuff box? and what a fantastic "pre decimal" Edward V11 full sovereign, a classic example of if you put the hours in, then the rewards will come, well done Gareth.
Hi mate, the little silver thing is exquisite, I'd of been more than happy if that was my only good find of the day. To find a full Sovereign sat only a few inches away was just absolutely incredible. I do put in the hours, but I guess its about putting in the hours in the right sort of places and also getting very lucky. Thanks as always for your support and for watching. Gareth
Cracking Gold mate…..and in great condition……you deserve that…..well done
Hi mate, thank so much for the kind words, you know I specialise in coin shooting, I've dug tens of thousands of coins. I always look for certain attributes when choosing the locations to get permission to detect. Attributes that mean there will be lots of coins. This gives me much more chance of finding gold coins, it is no coincidence this was my 9th gold coin unbelievably. Still can't find a gold ring though for love nor money!! Thanks for taking time out your day to watch, I hope to see you on my next episode. G
What a days detecting, well done on the gold coin 👍
Hi Colin, thanks mate, it was an absolutely immense session, beautiful silver then beautiful gold back to back. We spent most of the day in the pub sat in the glorious sunshine. A real perfect day and perhaps my favourite of my videos I've ever made. Thanks so much for coming along and watching. Gareth
Hi I like the music and choice of songs on you video in the background..Good sound more interesting.
Hi there Fabian, thanks so much for your kind words. I spend a lot of money on music for my channel and spend a lot of time finding music I like and feel fits the themes of my channel and content. Makes me happy to receive comments like this, so thank you :)
Fantastic , congratulations and wowzaaaaaaa 🥳👍
Hello there Fabian, thank you so much for watching and leaving me a comment. I think this has been my best day of 2023 so far, although I have had an amazing year in the fields. 2023 has been EPIC for me! Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Fabulous finds, I cannot imagine finding three gold coins in a year! Or production just continues to improve, most channels with musical interludes I'm grabbing for the fast forward button but I really enjoy yours, especially since you've added in the drone footage, well done keep up the great work (and finds 👍)
Hi there Gary, thanks so much for watching this video and for leaving such kind words, it is really appreciated. I do work hard on my content and try to create videos in my own unique style (that others are trying to emulate). I agree 2023 has been amazing for me finding 3 gold coins. September 2021 was the last time I was lucky enough to unearth gold. I've found 9 gold coins now in total in as many years, i feel blessed, but I know I have a proven nack of finding scenic pasture locations where I have a good chance of finding gold coins. Adding the drone to my kit list was awesome, my channel improved and grew so much and I absolutely love taking it out and seeing what I can capture. Love my hobby, love my channel and things are going relatively well at the moment. Onwards and upwards. Thanks again. Gareth

Absolutely gorgeous area.
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and watching this video. The location is absolutely stunning and I place I love to metal detect. So to find a gold coin there for me was an absolute pleasure and will become a place and memory that I will remember until the day I die
Amazing find well done
Hello there Peter, thank you, I know I have had some amazing finds so far this year, but this one is up there at the very top I reckon. Its been a crazy year in the fields for me and I'm excited at the thought of what else I may find this year.

Another Gold coin awesome, another fabulous episode ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi Gary, yes mate, I cannot seem to stop finding them. But I have dug tens of thousands of coins in my lifetime, I am a proper coin shooter and detect only places I will find coins. So inevitably I will find gold coins, lots of silver coins and thousands upon thousands of pre-decimals and crusty Georgians. Hope your week is going well and catch you on the next one. G
Well done buddy great video

Hi mate, long time no see, hope you are doing well and still enjoying your metal detecting? Gosh this one seems like an eternity ago, in fact almost exactly 1 year ago, the last time I found anything gold. 2023 was my best ever year for gold, I don't expect to find any more for a few years!

Hi there, it is an incredibly beautiful coin, I thought long n hard whether I should include it on the thumbnail as it kinda spoils the surprise. But I really struggled with creating this thumbnail. A gold ring is at the very top of my metal detecting bucket list, been detecting over 8 years now and I just cannot find a gold ring for love nor money. Thanks so much for taking 12 minutes out of your day to watch this video :) Gareth
Absolutely amazing.
Hi there mate, thank you, quite possibly my best metal detecting day of 2023, and I've had some great days this year!! Curse of the gold now, 3 hunts since this have been absolute garbage haha. Thanks as always for coming along. G
Very good video, what detector are you using there?
Hi there Graham, thanks very much for visiting my metal detecting channel, for watching this video and leaving me a comment. I currently use the XP Deus 2, before that I used an XP ORX and before that a Garrett AT Pro. Do you metal detect? I uploaded this video recently which shows 2 of my best ever GOLD finds, which I found on the same field, just 7 days apart:

Thanks again for coming along, and I very much hope to see you on my channel again. Gareth
I second the quality of Carl’s spades! Digging the very hard dry fields of Ashbourne and I have 100% faith in the spade. He even made it to a bespoke length etc.
Check out Noble MDT 👌🏼
Hi Steven, I used to do a LOT of metal detecting in and around Ashbourne, that's where I really learnt my trade, where I discovered how much I loved this hobby and unearthed my best ever find there. Don't get up that way much anymore as its now a 40 minute drive away. I try and get up that way several times a year to to re-visit old stomping grounds. But yeah Carl's spades are mint, proper works of art !!
Yeh, stunning rich countryside : )
Wow, what a great find! My question is, what happened next? Do you need to sell the gold sovereign and share it with the landowner? How much did you get to keep?
Hello there, thanks very much for taking time out your day to watch this video. Each landowner is different, some have no interest in finds. In this case I will probably have to give the landowner 50% of the estimated value. This could be an expensive day for me! Thanks again and I hope to see you again. Gareth
A couple if cracking finds there kiddah.
I'm still left wondering though...whats in the box...or, was it, a broken pendant/locket maybe?
It appeared to have a snapped off loop on the tip of the box is all.
Hello there, apologies for the slow reply, I took some time off from the hobby and my channel. But I am back, i hope!! The silver box did indeed open, but it was completely empty, so who knows what it could have contained once upon a time. I have to say since this day, I have had nothing but problems with my metal detector and not found anything exciting and lost enthusiasm. I am trying to re-gather my love for the hobby and hopefully be back out this weekend after 3 weeks off. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire They can't all be, to coin a phrase...HEAVY HIT, AFTER, HEAVY HIT!
...you'll be reet!
You just need to go somewhere you've never think of before and see what you can see.
No need to apologise...life's tricky to juggle when you have a nipper in tow.
I'm sure she likes watching her daddy whatever you're pulling up out the ground!
@@weedfreer yes a shiney new permission always lifts ones spirit 😁
I would love to see a filmed re-enactment of the moments the items fell into the the ground from your perspective 😀
Maybe one day if you get the opportunity to do that as your channel grows or you can get others onboard to produce and collab for their channel, like an actors drama youtube channel or something?
I'd watch this as a show if it was on TV with the production of a major channel absolutely no problem
Quality stuff 👍
Hello there, thanks very much for coming along to my channel and watching this video. I would imagine most of those re-enactments would be very similar. Someone sits down on the grass to catch their breath or take a drink. While sat, the contents of their trouser pockets unknowingly to them, empties on the grass. They get up, walk off and hey presto, they are ours to find after the earth swiftly consumes them :) Haha my channel will only ever be a 1 man band - Me. I do everything, all the filming, all the planning, all the editing. But I love it. Thanks again for tuning in. Gareth
Gold and fantastic country side you are lucky
Hi Shaun, I am very lucky that I love and metal detect in such a wonderful area. I never travel far to metal detect, I am only interested in local history. You will very rarely see me digging outside of Derbyshire. Thanks so much for choosing to watch my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope to see you on the next episode. Gareth
Bro what what was in the silver pendant?
Hi there Brad, welcome to my channel, thanks so much for coming along and watching this video. I opened the pendant and it was completely empty. Such a beautiful little find and sits proudly in my display cabinet now. Thanks again and I hope to see you again. Have a look at this video of 2 of my other epic GOLD finds which I found on the same field 7 days apart:
th-cam.com/video/VasQozqHfyo/w-d-xo.html
The locket/pendant was likely made by John Culver of Clerkenwell in London in 1887. He used the Birmingham assay office between 1887 and 1902. The date leter n would indicate 1887.
Hi Peter, you hit the nail on the head there it is indeed John Culver. I did discover this, but not until I had finished editing the video. It sure is a beautiful little find, love finding things like that. But the gold coin was an absolute dream! Thanks so much for taking time out your day to watch this video, I very much hope to see you again. Gareth
Been waiting for this matey!😊
Hi Mark, this was only a short hunt as we spent half the day in the pub just down the road. It really was a dream session for me, I don't think Carl was too happy me finding that, it's definitely someone else's turn to find gold (definitely not yours either hahaha). I really enjoyed the footage I captured and enjoyed putting this short video together, one of my absolute favourites. Thanks as always for coming along to my channel, hope to see you on the next episode - spoiler - no gold or silver!! Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire work hard mate gold comes simple as that buddy we both put in countless of hours finding nothing it’s a reward when we do!♥️
It sure does. When I got my Deus2, it took me 15 months to find my first gold with it. Bit then 7 days later my 2nd came along and a couple months after that, number 3 came along. I hope the D2 can bag me a couple more and over take my ORX and become my most successful machine ever!!
Well deserved well done again!
Hi mate, thank you, I must admit I am having my best ever year in this hobby, 3 gold coins and 3 hammered silver coins in only a few months is crazy for me!! I feel like I am learning the types of places which give me the best chance to find a gold coin. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and for leaving me a comment. I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth
Man I wish I can come out with you😂I only just found my first hammerd 😂
@@owendetecting sounds like you are doing great on your own there 🤣
Hopefully find another one in the next year 😂
Congratulations. Just curious as I don't metal detect myself- how can a 2p be buried in that location, that deep ?. They only came out in 1971.
Hi there, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. That is a great question! Ultimately it is gravity that makes a coin disappear under ground. But there are other factors and conditions such as soil type, temperature, moisture, ground movement, even moles and worms affect the depth of finds. It is not uncommon to find a modern 2p say 8 inches deep, then your next signal might be a medieval silver coin only 4 inches deep. All down to gravity. I hope this helps answer your question? I also hope to see you on my channel again
Did you open the locket? Would love to know what's in it. Great video cracking Gold!!
Hi Paul, thanks very much for visiting my channel and for taking time out your day to watch this video. I did indeed open the locket, it was completely empty, no trace of anything at all. So who knows what this was used for, but it was a very pretty little find and now sits proudly in my glass cabinet. Thanks again for watching, and I hope to see you again on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire - I hit the Sub. Not the first of your vids I have enjoyed. My Channel is Metal Detecting with Lugnut. I haven't post lately because of gas prices in the US$$$. Been hunting Native Artifacts in local streams. Stull fun and interesting. Still keep the Detector at the ready.
@@paulmarley4136 I thought gas prices in USA were cheap. You ought to see the prices of petrol in the UK. Its crazy!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire - I know you guys pay heaps for petrol... "Cheap" is a relative term. If I use half a tank driving around looking for a place to hunt, thats $25 . Ouch... anyway you look at it. Hunting artifacts is totally FREE. WIN.
Excellent duke”
Thank you very much Traynor, I appreciate you taking time out your day to watch this video. I hope to see you again. Gareth
GG Gold Gareth Gongrats 😜🔝❤️
Hello there Toni, thank you, I think my luck for 2023 must surely be coming to an end. To find 3 gold coins and 3 silver hammered coins in 2023 so far is amazing for me. My last 3 hunts after this one have been rubbish - curse of the gold! Thanks as always for your support. G
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire would be nice
If you invited Digger Dan instead of
Channel unknown to me. Can't be all Gold
All time surely 4th comes up in autumn.
@@tonilauge5786 which one theres about 20 digger dans on youtube
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Digger Dan metal detecting upload every Monday.
Seeing it now 👍
@@tonilauge5786 I've mentioned it to him a couple times but he wasn't interested. Don't think I would be either if my permissions were knee deep in hammered coins, Roman coins and what not 🤣
There ye go "Gareth the Gold Sniffer"..... you would trip in the street and land on a tenner....well done my mate...
Hahaha, do you have any idea when the last time I found a note in the street?? I was actually metal detecting about 6 years ago, walking up a footpath to the field I found a £5 note, then a couple yard up the path I spotted another one. Jackpot!! Very rarely find money in the streets these days. Having said that, I picked up a battered 1p yesterday, I'm a proper scrubber!!
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire a magnet for cash
Nice find bro! Quick question, what are those coins worth? and do you sell them or keep them? Either way that's awesome shout out from Ohio.
Hi Robert, thanks very much for visiting my channel and watching this video. The Edward VII Sovereign is 8 grams of 22 carat gold. Something like this is worth around £450. A very good pay day indeed. I would never sell this coin. Thanks again and hope to see you on some of my 300 other metal detecting videos. Gareth
Well done m8 👍 My very first Gold coin was an Edward half sovereign, decades ago, with my old silver sabre.
I new nothing about him except he was quite old when viccy died and he had a short reign, I thought it would be worth a fortune, ( I had no spinks , Google etc didn't exist) so I couldn't look up prices , I got 40quid, I use to sell anything for the right price when I first started detecting.
I still get ###### off when I think about some of the things
I didn't understand how rare things like my early Saxon stirrup mount was :/
I don't even have pics of my early finds .
I was lucky ( or unlucky) that my first permission was full of things from bronze age and onwards.
I just thought all fields were the same, how wrong how very wrong I was ...
Atb ,,
Hi mate thanks for watching and thanks for your great comments, congrats on your first gold coin all those years ago. What a nightmare finding awesome finds back then but not being able to photograph them. But, I bet most fields were full of signals and full of finds. Yeah you were definitely wrong, I've been to plenty of places where I've barely found anything, but then you don't know if its already been hoovered up by groups or other detectorists. Its a strange hobby !
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire np , whenever I talk to people outside the hobby they don't realise how many hours, days weeks, we put into all the searching before finding something good.
My latest interest are the early lead bullets, or minie balls, I've found a small area that must have been used for testing them , I have complete ones and ones splattered almost flat , some have the copper or iron plug in the hollow rear end .
I was watching a video about redcoats and the changes in rifles and projectiles and saw a couple of minie balls and was , I have some of those, I'd never paid much attention before but have returned to the place that has little else tbh and have found a bunch all slightly different to others .
Your absolutely right, it is a strange old hobby ;)
Happy hunting.
Still winning at life big boy!!
Now then mate, aye I'm doing very well in the fields this year, 3 silver hammered and 3 gold, I cannot grumble at that. Pleases me to know you still tune in and see what I'm getting up to. Hopefully see you in August youth
@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire yes mate love a detecting video now and then good to see you doing well.
