I am always amazed at what you find it’s not every day that people see these precious old Roman finds. I so appreciate you both for all of your work and videos you do. You are both amazing and beautiful young ladies who appreciate the kind of love you have for Roman history. I don’t say it often enough, but thank you for doing an impressive dig! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜☝️
Well done ladies the bronze age axe is fantastic, just think back to what it was used for and all the historical events it has laid buried under for all those years, the medieval token was cool as well
Thank you Kim! Completely in love with how perfect it is! As soon as we saw that shape we knew exactly what it was!! We’d love to know if it was an offering or just misplaced and lost! 🤎
I'll admit that my favourite finds are much more modern, but finding a bronze age axe head would make anybody gasp! I love watching you guys finding treasure, straight to the point! Well done 👍
I am impressed with the background history that you provide. For example the fact that Thomas Jefferson created the 1st dog registration . I live in Virginia about 60 miles from Jeffersons "Monticello" and his hometown of Charlottesville. I have read quite a bit about the man but I did not know this! Two British ladies metal detecting have taught me something about my countries history that I have been completely unaware of! That is beautiful irony! I really enjoy your channel and as an American I find it unfathomable that one can find a Roman coin let alone a Bronze age axe! I also really like that you collect non metallic artifacts as well . Have you all found much in the way of flints and other lithic tools? Thank you for your efforts in the making of this informative and entertaining
Well done you two! A proper job ancient artefact. Makes you think, doesn't it. The sense of wonder I felt when viewing an axe hoard found by my village will always remain. The Mylor Hoard.
Thank you! It was an incredibly magical experience! We had so many questions!! How did it get there? Was it an offering? did a Roman have it in their possession? 😮🤎
Brilliant. Your indepth info on finds is really grand. Especially like that a bronze age axe head and a aluminum dog tag both get attention. Good work.
Wow. I loved The Detectorists TV show. But you found a Bronze Age artifact on my first viewing of your channel. I live down under, but if I was there I'd be doing what you kids are. I hope your good luck continues because I subscribed. I don't need a treasure trove, just interesting stuff every now and then.
Hi Tom! Welcome! Thanks for the sub!! Haha you found us on a very lucky day!! We try to share the ups and downs and always love a quirky find which keeps interesting for everyone! Hope you enjoy our future videos! 🙌
I like the idea of re-purposing some of my trash. Those deer whilst this may be contentious help detectorists out in the woods , they keep the undergrowth at bay. Love the narrative. Dave
My best coins (except my sceatta) came out of the woods. My current permission is formerly wood and you'd think after the turmoil of 1960s removal having ideal prospects but these spots so far for me haven't yielded much where my expectation was that they would. Woods move across the landscape in time however it seems
@@RomanFound Shooting season, falling branches (I detected during a hurricane once), wire lying low, and proverbial rabbit holes. But apart from a v unlikely snakebite, and 100 shot gun cartridges you'll find esp on soil creep areas and areas with burrows lots in there. Checkout the Lidar maps too they show things that sometimes I cannot see from eye level. Dave
First scene on the screen was very much like our field here in South Georgia U.S.A. Where you can’t find Roman artifacts but you can find super Native American artifacts and I really love the history about dog tags
Sounds beautiful!! We love looking for flint and stone tools too! We thought the history was so cool about the dog tags! Haha “The Jug” is such a great name 😂
That amount of trash may signify green waste contamination. This makes the going hard to impossible depending on how much there is. However, if you are in a productive field and have the patience, good finds can be made. The other weekend I found two roman brooches, an Edward 1st hammered and an Elizabeth 1 silver threepence in a green waste field. It is hard work though and I find on sites like this you cannot detect as long before becoming fatigued from all the junk digging.
It could, we’re also close to a road which I think some of it has come from! We certainly cleared a fair bit of it! Yea its hard to keep spirits up when your digging lots of trash but like you said if you have patience there’s always things to find! 🤎
5000 years old !!! Talk about impressive. Just how much do we know of life all those years ago? Not much I'm sure. Anyway, that's a find of a life time Keep up with the collecting aluminium and at this rate, you could get enough scrap value to have a detector each in 100 years... LOL Another great video, for which I'm grateful. Take care ladies. TTFN
Mind blowingly old!! Still can’t believe it! Hahah the aluminium collection is growing stronger by the week 😂 never found so much in our lives!! Thanks for watching Graham!! 🙌🤎
Is it really allowed to walk around and dig up things randomly in the UK? 🤔 I know it isn’t in Sweden. I do hope you guys carefully log where you find stuff, as you may otherwise ruin the context of what may be an important future archaeological dig site. If you do make careful notes I think it would be very good if you showed how you do that in your videos, so as not to inspire other people who watch to just go out and damage archaeological sites by randomly digging holes and removing things from their historical context.
I think it's a bit rude to assume that they would be doing this illegally and then film themselves doing it... They have explained before in other videos that you can do this in the UK, they have permission from the landowners to dig on the land and they record all finds on the database.
@@jrichards-nu9zu I could say you are rude for accusing me of assuming anything of the sort. I’m not assuming they are doing it illegally. Hence the question at the beginning if it is legal or not in the UK - and not a statement that it isn’t. As I already said - maybe they do record where they find things and it just isn’t in the video. But if that’s the case I think the responsible thing would be to show that in the video. In my part of the world such behaviour as we ‘appear’ to see in the video would definitely be illegal and considered destruction of the archaeological contextual landscape. More than that it’s considered very unethical. If you have a problem with someone asking questions about these things after having watched a video in their flow such as this then maybe you are part of the ethical problem? A small axe head alone might not teach us much. We have found a number of them in the past. But imagine if a team of archaeologists were to dig that site sometime in the future and they find other things but no axe head. Their interpretation of what they were looking at could then be completely offset from what it would have been had the axe head been there still. I understand people are fascinated with metal detectors and that there is a small community out there who like to go out and dig random holes in the ground. I may not like it but in some parts of the world it’s not illegal. However, it would be irresponsible of me not to raise the the issue. So if you do it, please make sure you log where you dig and where you find things. And make that information available for archaeologists.
We have very strict laws in the UK in regards to reporting finds. All finds are recorded with GPS coordinates. There’s a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into the recording of finds which we can share in a Q&A style video if that would be helpful to you? Regular viewers of our content know we have resources on our website and discord channel about responsible detecting. We also recommend people research their local laws before starting detecting as every country has different regulations. We’re always happy to answer people’s questions about the hobby!
@@RomanFound well that’s good. Like I said this video popped into my flow for some reason. As the video was selected for me by the algorithm naturally I haven’t watched any of your other videos. My comments are based on what I have seen in this one video and my personal experience within archaeology. Again, I think it would a good idea if you showed how all the items you find are logged. From an educational aspect it’s good to show people who are interested in getting into the hobby how to do it right, so that they’ll be able to help the science instead of just doing a bunch of magpieing. 🙂 In an essence, this is what I missed in the video. Talking about these things if they come up in a Q&A is all well and good, but you can’t expect everyone who watch your videos and are inspired by them to show up for a Q&A. Also, clearly I am not the person who would be helped by such a video as I am not a person who may randomly go out in the woods and start digging now am I? 🙂
I think a video which goes through all the rules and ethics could be a good shout and we have it linked in our description for people to watch for further education. People also have a responsibility to do their own research as we can only advise on UK law as most of our viewers are overseas.

Oh my goodness your axe head is incredible! I just can't imagine finding something five thousand years old! So excited for you! :-)
We still can’t believe it!! It was an incredibly magical moment to hold something so old! 🥹🤎
The axe find was thrilling
I love the history that you share with us related to each of your finds. And that axe head....just brilliant. Thanks for another enjoyable adventure.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching! 🤎
What a great ax head!! Congratulations.
Thank you Joanne!! One to remember! 😍🙌🤎
Congratulations. Really enjoyed the episode. A nice, informative, easy watch👌
Thanks Del! Glad you enjoyed it! We had great fun researching all the finds. 🙌
Congratulations ladies, all the hours of walking and waving and digging just paid off 🎉 as always the information you add to the video is perfect ❤❤❤
Thank you Jamie! Haha it certainly did! I think having to dig all that trash first made the find even better for us! Felt well earned 😂🤎
Wow what a find congratulations ladies. 👏👍🏻

Very impressive!
Did the farmers know the name on the dog tag?
@@lisascenic they didn’t unfortunately!
You guys have the coolest job in the world ❤🇺🇸🙋♀️
Certainly very lucky to be part of this hobby!! 🤎
