- A major 2000-year old metal detecting find on a UK Roman permission - join my adventure as a travelling searcher in a pre-historic landscape. This episode there are a number of FANTASTIC Roman finds as well as a piece of good luck regarding a NEW PERMISSION in Roman territory! A new piece of ancient jewellery joins my bracelet found here a few months ago. This permission just gets better and better.
I also run a test on my XP Deus II to see what happens when I tweak my detector settings through all the programs using a Roman coin as a test piece. See how THAT turned out!!!
IN THE COMMENTS: Have you ever found a piece of jewellery that you can wear? Who do you think would have owned this ring I found… the mind boggles!

A bit about me:
Not your average bloke in camo..
Hello! I’m Ellie, English female detectorist, beachcomber, field searcher and artist. 🇬🇧 Follow my searching journey metal detecting the UK countryside and shoreline, as I learn about British history through objects.
Have I found any treasure? Well - I've collected Bronze Age and Roman artefacts, old gold, hammered coins and medieval finds. But the REAL treasure is in the stories each object tells about people and places. Sometimes it’s the mystery objects that I love best - cracking the code of time with plenty of help from my team of trusty subscribers! Thank you all for being here :)
Miss D.
ENJOYING THIS FILM? /// Subscribe away! I’d love you to join my community helping me solve some of the mystery objects I’m finding 😊
I think this is where experimenting with discrimination and reactivity comes in. There are some great custom programs out there, too. Great video, Ellie.
When I see you like this in the videos you just get happy.your enthusiasm and spontaneity,the passion for our hobby is to enjoy. Also love to watch your channel ❤️ greetings ferdinand from holland
Hey thanks Ferdinand! Thanks for watching 😊
Great video , Ground balance is important, sound like your detectors is not getting deep enough, I always ground balance after a few hours just in case the soil changes
Let’s go let’s go treasure and adventure ✌️💕🇺🇸🌺🎉👵🌎
Well done brilliant find and video
Nice ring. Well done e.
Awesome find. Congratulations!!! Going to be doing some equipment test going forward.
Always do a ground balance and noice cancel when you start detecting. Al,NJ,USA.
Really enjoyed this video, nice and honest we are all learning and you are helping others learn in a not to technical way
Keep up the good work 👍
Cheers John thank you for watching and for your kind comments! Hope you’re subscribed 😊
Ciao Ellie...as always nice video..our ancien Roman people make you very very lucky. Ciao from Italy 😜
Thanks a lot for watching along! 😊
Yay! That's a really promising permission, especially with so much high quality pottery. Have a look on Google Earth desktop (I don't think this works on a phone). Click on the date in the bottom left and you'll be taken to that image. In Norfolk it's typically 1985 and super low res. But then use the slider in the top left to go through the satellite images between then and now. If you're lucky there'll be a drought year that might just show old roads or even buildings. A great example is Venta Icenorum near Caister St Edmund by Norwich scrolled back to 2012. Good luck!
That’s a an awesome tip thanks for sharing!
the first thing i'd of done with one of them machines is bury stuff and write down a load of readings, even keep a notebook of every reading and find, be a good crack! i got bad lungs so have to watch everyone else have all the fun
Sorry to hear of your health problem, I hope you can get some joy anyway from watching us all fudge our way through the hobby!
Lower your reactivity down to about 3 or 2 you will get better results hope this helps.😊
It’s on 3 already.. might try two
Lower reactivity will give you depth. Slower response between multiple targets but deeper. Try that when you get a chance.
Lovely to see you out and doing well. Good hunt and new permissions. 🎉
Lovely fragile little ring.
Thanks don I will try that
It is very easy to get psyched out with a metal detector, but you have to trust your previous experience and your settings that have given you success on good targets. There will always be anomalies over which you have no control, but they will be the exception. Tweaks to factory settings undoubtably work to your advantage, but there are still limits based on your particular location. If you spend too much time fiddling, you take away from detecting time, and you might just lose out on "easy" targets like the ring on the surface. You have already proven your ability and the capability of the Deus 2, so it comes down to maximizing your swing time and organizing your search so as to not be missing areas, nor duplicating search areas. The joy I find in detecting is to not be fretting over results. You already exhibit a similar mindset, so just let the percentages of good finds be your reward for being a history hunter and not a treasure seeker. LOL, we all need that reminder from time to time, myself included. You make great videos because of your passion and eagerness to research and learn, so please continue with your passion and your honest reporting via videos. And don't forget that there is dumb luck, good luck, and hard luck wrapped into the equation, especially when your search areas are large and the variables of weather and terrain will always stand in the way of a "perfect" detecting plan and procedure. A 10" or 13" coil is going to sometimes miss a good target by centimeters, and sometimes in a 17-acre field that same relatively tiny coil is happily going to signal "dead on" for a wonderful artifact. Persistence is many times your friend, but we are never guaranteed that persistence will win the prize. And that, dear Ellie, is what keeps you getting back out there on your fields! Thanks for bringing us along from the comfort of our easy chairs...we are all rooting for you, and some, myself included, are also praying regularly for your safety and success!
What good advice! I do trust my detector, and myself actually. I just felt I needed to see what all these other settings actually do. I’ll keep getting my confidence with what the buttons are for but probably still fall back on the old faithful settings!
Ellie, my dad used to say that most jobs are 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration. Metal detecting is maybe 50/50...LOL.
Morning Ellie, what a wonderful video to wake up to, beautiful ring! Well done 🎉
So glad you enjoyed! I’m thrilled with the ring 🤍😊
The coin you put in the ground, has not had time to mineralize the soil. Thats why its better to search after rain!
Yes I think that’s a really good point!
Wwow the rings amazing what a great find and some coins too. Well done.
Thanks so much it sure was fun!
Brilliant Ellie 👏 rings are one of my favourite things to find they just add that personal element 😊 keep up the great work 👏👏
I couldn’t agree more, it’s lovely to think who lived there and brings a female element to the place!
It is a good idea to test a coin I think to remind your ears after a break. Burying a coin is not quite the same as an original as there is a halo effect where the target has reacted over time with the soil. Many times I can dig a target and find it has dissapeared to the machine once the soil is disturbed.😉🇨🇦
Yes me too! Good point - that coin as you saw had also flaked off a lot of green stuff in the soil when I originally found it which would have helped the machine pick it up
I thought that it reads the distance from plate to target Both times the coin is the same distance covered or not!
@@christophergillies1702 that’s what I thought too but somehow it seems the hole made all the difference so perhaps it’s also to do with the surrounding stone etc
Sometimes after disturbing the soil the machine does not see it but the pin pointer will.
Brilliant fine
What a fab trip! I like the test idea too. Interestingly, I took my sister out on my permission and put some stuff down so that she could hear what to listen out for. What shocked me was the machine didn’t pick up a ten and 20p piece! That got me a bit concerned.
It’s weird isn’t it! Really good way to learn actually. And still hope to learn more by trying a better coin next time!
Hi Ellie, congrats for the roman ring, many lost their stone unfortunately
Real shame but it’s still lovely.
Quite fantastic finds from this field!
Yep indeed!!!!
I posted this on the wrong video! 😀anyway .. Great video again Ellie … that was a strange scenario with the buried Roman coin that wasn’t visible during the test? You obviously found it when it was buried originally?? … did you get any more info on the cool ring?
Hello! I think that perhaps the coin had lost its extra halo that was there in the ground when I originally found it along with all those green flaky bits, and was a little bit of a weak target. Maybe I’ll try a different, better coin as I think my test could’ve been pretty helpful!
Ah .. it was the one with the flaky bits .. that makes sense.
Always ground balance and noise cancel whenever you change settings or even during a swing session. It will reassure you and your machine will do things better.
I hate to admit I don’t know how to noise cancel another one for the manual 🧐🧐😂
Thanks for another fantastic video - that ring looks amazing!
If you don't mind me asking, what model of finds container do you have, the one with the foam on one side and the measurement scale on the other?

@@miss_detectorist thanks!
Well done in finding the ring! its beautiful
Thank you that’s really nice of you to say!
Congrats on the ring! In bad mineralized soil i find full tones, disc -6.4, minimal filters 0 silencer etc with a reactaivity of 3 and a lower audio response of around 3 to quieten down the ground feeback in a chosen program works well
Thank you so much - will get the manual out to work out how to tweak those 😂
My best video yet, thankyou.
So happy to hear you enjoyed it! Let’s grow this channel (somehow 😂)
Could you take a bit of the soil from the field home with you, and put it in a flower pot with your coin test to try the different setting out on the detector? You would be able to easily bury the coin at different depths in the flower pot. It would save you a trip to the field, and you could take your time to work out the best settings on the detector. Just a thought.
It’s a really good idea. On reflection I think perhaps the problem is that coin. It’s absolutely wafer thin and very wobbly edges. I think I’m going to repeat the test with a good coin next. In principle it was a good test to run!
Hi Ellie, nice to see you out detecting. The ring is special and it was made for you. The coins are great too. Yes ground balancing is a must do process whenever you change locations or notice a color change or consistency in the soil. It’s a simple enough procedure and can make all of the difference. Best regards… John
I think it might be running an auto balance as it seemed to already be set at the correct number but yes. I have learnt my lesson. 😂
@@miss_detectorist auto balance usually works well after you do an initial ground balance. Then if you notice anything out of the ordinary you can quickly balance again. Where I live in California our soil is very highly mineralized so I’m constantly rebalancing. It sounds like you have it figured out, so you should be fine.
@@shooterjohn7163 John I know nothing. Im working it out through practice, trial and error. I’m always grateful for the tips!
@@miss_detectorist Ellie, I think that you are doing very well. Keep learning new things and the hobby gets even more enjoyable.
Hi, contact the scottish detectorist. He has a deep program for the Deus 2. Hi might help you..😉
Thanks I’m not sure how I’d contact him is he on insta?
Brilliant 💯
😊🤍
Heeey , heey sister! Sweet video again.. Love that passion of yours :9
Did you seen our latest Roman video?
Happy hunting!!!!!!
When you are hot, you’re hot. Two Roman coins and the ring. Sounds like 2 good days to me. 👏👏🌹🌹😘
Lower your reactivity to 1.5 you will get much better depth
Thanks!! I will definitely try this

Ellie.......quick question!! What maps do you use ?
I use a few types and I’m planning a vid on this and possibly an e-book on researching land…
@@miss_detectorist I guess I'll have to wait until then then.......🤣
@@Joe-B1 well you can in the meantime try using 1840s side by side national library of Scotland, LiDAR and historic England maps that’s my preferred mix but my vid will go into my method for reading these
@@miss_detectorist perfect and thank you 😀
@@miss_detectorist congratulations on finding the roman ring and getting the new permissions as well. I predict a lot more great finds are coming your way over the coming mts.
Who the hell goes metal detecting in pure white trainers 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me 🤷♀️😂 They’re not actually white 😂 they’re the same off white scrappy old adidas I go walking the coast path, teach painting and if the day is dry walking in fields 😂 sue me; I used to work in fashion 🤣🤣
