- At last the Roman field has dried out enough to get out with the hoard Hunter.
Things don’t quite go as expected when I end up finding a sword from 2,000 years and an iron axe head and it’s Albert who hits the ROMAN SILVER!!

My dad found a Roman hoard in 1996, the Patching Hoard. I've been showing him your videos. He's 85 now and can't do it anymore so he enjoys watching you!
Best wishes to your dad! Wow 🤩 22 Roman gold coins plus silver Roman coins and bits and pieces… what a discovery!!!
@@thescottishdetectoristThanks. It was valued at £30,000 then, before the gold price went up, and before you had to give half to the landowner so they split it 3 ways. It's in Worthing museum if you're passing!
Patching hoard
The Patching Hoard, West Sussex
Discovered in April, 1997, and excavated in April and May of the same year, this hoard of coins in southern Britain yielded 47 gold and silver coins along with rings and several pieces of silver bullion.
So incredible. Best wishes to your adventuresome dad.
As Cleg would say "EPIC !!!”
Maybe a dagger because its so thin and straight, but Clegg isn't going to be happy with you pulling swords out of the ground with his equipment...good God John, this is incredible
@@drew-shourd Ha!
You certainly don't understand click bait.
This video thumbnail led no one down a false path.
For myself, the video delivered what was indicated in the thumbnail.
Thumbs up (already subscribed).
@Engine Tuning I never said it was a false path...he was questioning if a sword or spear and asking people for their opinions and I responded that I think it's a dagger
@@davidparadis490 I think the comment was meant for someone else. It just ended up in the wrong spot.
I'm VERY Happy for John it's a tricky machine to use and I'm glad he found something with it
@@davidparadis490 There was a comment criticizing the thumbnail as click bait.
After my response, he deleted his comment :)
16:13 it’s a BLOODY SWORD!😂 never fail to make me laugh lol😂 your finds are on another level mate!!
As an American, it’s absolutely fascinating to see your finds. I’m glad y’all have been finding such a variety of items lately, because although I know you lot dream of a horde, it’s more interesting to me to imagine the amazing spectrum of inhabitants of the same plot of land over thousands of years interpreted from a few lost belongings.
Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor with us all. 🙏🏻🗡️🪙🪓🏺
Looks like an ideal size of a dagger, broken at the hilt. Great find whatever it is... we laugh when Albert tips up, he seems to be very lucky 😄
Nice finds…a silver Roman and a Bronze Age letter opener…lol!
Bronze Age dirk, wow, field of dreams!! I wonder how much we all miss without a hoard hunter?!! Well found. Thanks for sharing.
I never get tired of seeing Gorgeous George 😃 or anything else that you find. Congratulations on your sword tip and everything else! Cheers.
Much appreciated Andrea. Glad you enjoyed
Super terrific finds, guys! Thanks for bringing us along with you.
Much appreciated and thanks for watching
That Spear/Sword tip is absolutely stunning 😍 👌 great find, and another silver Roman Coin 😲 absolutely fantastic 😀 👏 Thanks for sharing and look forward to the next 😊
Many thanks Cape Code and thanks for watching. Happy hunting for you
what a great find! I've found dagger blades before but never a sword. From my modest knowledge of the subject it seems to me that you have found the point of a sword which can be dated to 800 BC. I have a few books dealing with the subject, including drawings and photos. According to these sources you've discovered a little less than half of the sword...keep digging and digging, the rest of the blade and maybe the pommel should be nearby. Congratulation !
Could be much earlier my friend ,Bronze age go's back to 2500BC.Not saying this is ,but there is usually continuity through Neolithic Bronze and into the Roman crossover from Iron Age and sometimes later into Saxon and so on. All according to what part of the country your located. H😊
I'm very relieved that you actually found something with it😂 I was worried that all you were going to find was tin cans and iron. But you found a nice axe head that you could re-purpose and and an amazing Spearhead
Thanks for lending me it Cleggy. It’s been a learning curve and a work out digging the holes!! But glad finally I got two things!! Many thanks
Just excellent! How thrilling to find a bronze sword! I'd be scanning the area around it hoping to find the rest of it. That was once some warrior's prized high status possession!
Many thanks, fingers crossed more to come. Same field produced a Palstave axehead two years ago!!
went out detecting for the first time today.....found two coins in our forest....very exciting....not old but fun to dig.
Congratulations Professor! You’ve got to start somewhere and if you’re finding modern coins you’ll get new ones too!
Where do you live?
@@thescottishdetectorist i live in SW France...in the Dordogne valley....lots of Romans here...as well as cavemen.
Fingers crossed more finds and older finds to come!! Happy hunting and let me know how you get on
I don’t follow many detectors but you are just so cool! Not to mention your finds, they just blow my mind.
Many thanks Hazel, much appreciated and best wishes
DetectorISTS 😂
John, I’m watching this from California, I love watching you pull the different things out of the ground, telling us what they are and teaching us the history of Scotland...
Good old West Country Clegg for lending out his equipment. I hope your subs go check him out. :) Great finds!
Thanks Clem 😍
Great spear, fantastic colour, take that all day over a silver denarius , bloody good finds, well done again John 👍👍
My, what a day John! Can’t wait to hear more about the sword/spearhead. You are probably on an old battlefield which means more to come!
OMG! The patina on that sword is truly gorgeous. I am blown away. So happy you found it.
Great finds John and Albert. It never ceases to amaze me, what you pull out of the ground. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing!
Much appreciated. Happy for Albert getting his first silver Roman!!
Congratulations finding spearhead or sword great find for Albert. Thanks for your videos Len
Much appreciated Len
Loving your channel! Great Britain has got to be about the best place in the world for metal detecting and finding historic items. Since you guys have not had a modern war fought over all your land like the rest of Europe, must be a lot less junk to sort through in the soil. Congrats on the sword tip, amazing!
Many thanks Colin. Perthshire within Scotland has a phenomenal history and I’m blessed with some great sites. As for the junk unfortunately I’m not that lucky…. But it’s worth picking through all the bad stuff for the good!!
Congrats to these beautiful finds 👏👏
Guess that bronze blade could be a find of the year already!
It's like winning the lottery 👍🏻🍀🍀
Awesome dig Bronze sword and a big axe head. Going great today
Much appreciated Marc. Beautiful
Wow John, that spear/dagger/sword? is beyond good. Well done M8. Also, Albert's silver Roman is a belter!! Thanks as always, cheers, John.
Magic find that sword!
Hoots mon
Cheers! 🍻
Wow! Would be great to get the bronze analysed in order to determine the origin. Awesome channel, I'm hooked!
Look at the that absolute beast! That'd find a spec of foil ten foot underground haha!
I hope not…. I don’t have the same digging stamina these days 😂
Your sword is remarkable. I'm so happy for you. Love your videos. Keep up the detecting.😊
Amazing finds yet again! Love the patina on the sword/spear looks ancient for sure! The hot streak continues, can't wait for more finds!
I'm no expert on Roman anything, but the blade looks like either a dagger that snapped at the hilt or a spear tip. Great video and finds! Cheers from New Orleans
No wonder your subs are soaring. You've been on the best fields/finds of anyone out there for months now. Congrats!!
I think this field in particular is some kind of previously unrecorded ancient hot spot.
🗡”There can be only one!” 😂. Phenomenal finds! (50K 🤞🏽)
Much appreciated Mack…. That was the look I was going for with the thumbnail 😂
Very nice to see the AT PRO digging Roman silver lol
What great finds. I wonder what else can be found deeper into the ground. The sword/dagger is beautiful. Congratulations both on your finds.
Outstanding finds John. Don't give up on the hoard.
You guys are really putting Scotland on the maps with regard's o finds. what next ???? Keep it coming please
Love the patina on both the coins but especially the sword blade, awesome find my friend
What an incredible find! The colors are stunning. And bronze. Wow. Just wow!
I guarantee you're getting a lot of new subscribers from the states mainly because we don't have metal in the ground as old as you're finding. Oh, and we all talk to ourselves using your accent, so there's that too.
Jammy swine. Wee rub-a-dub with the bendy thumb.
Yeah, I get a kick outta John calling his buddies "Jammy swine" when they find something really good. I catch myself now saying "wee rub a dub" alot now when doing da dishes. LOL
I watch you from Massachusetts .Very enjoyable videos ! Thank you !
Great finds!! Quick question, is it common in Scottish fields to have so many stones? Fields in Minnesota are very black dirt and stones are removed. I spent many summers as a child picking rock for my grandpa. Dirty work!! 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely Awsome finds youve managed to weikle out today, Congrats of the highest order to you. GLHH, Mac.
Much appreciated and I’m glad you enjoyed
Absolutely wonderful video! Congratulation on the bronze age artefact! That is a beautiful piece! Sincerely appreciate you bringing us along!
wow love that bit of the sword and amazing silver roman well done guys 👍
Yeah…I’d vote dagger as well. What a gorgeous color! Museum worthy.
HOLY HELL MAN! Guess your luck hasnt run out lol. great job again buddy.
The museum is going to be very very happy to see that blade! What a find!
I would say dagger fragment. Cracking silver roman, there must be a hoard around there somewhere surely, keep up with the hoard hunter. Field of dreams for sure. All the best John and of course Albert. Good luck.
Museum trip!
Haha 😆 oh no, not again
I would say its early Bronze Age dagger! EPIC found brother
Thank you for always being entertaining and informative! King Robert the Bruce!
That spear/sword is amazing 💪 what a find ! 😃🤘
Damn John! You guys just keep pulling the most wonderful treasures!!! Congrats to you both! Another insane video!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow mate what a crazy day well done top digging that, 👏👏👏
very nice finds
Thanks Tom. See you on the next
Get in there mate well done
Nicely done guys I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching Fred much appreciated
Watching from Central Texas, USA.Great hunt. Tip of the Hat.
I think an investment in a pull wagon would be wise. If the landowner were to permit it. That's a lot of gear to haul around.
Great finds and video as well 😉
Much appreciated Erin. Many thanks
That's a great idea machine mart sell ahalf decent wagon.
Great finds! I really enjoy watching your videos.
Many thanks, Glad you are enjoying Derin! See you on the next!
Superb video again John. 👏
Fantastic find that sword or spearhead, incredible 👏 cracking find.
Congratulations to Albert on his first Roman silver.
OH DAMN! you lucky man! you did it, great job and thank you for taking us with you
Much appreciated Sheila
Wow. Mr Bendy Thumbs and his Jammy Swine compatriot again with the outstanding finds. Great going guys and I look forward to so much more.
Many thanks Todd.
Absolutely beautiful sword/pike piece. Imagine all the timber that was felled (or heads cracked) with that weighty axe head...wow...serious power behind that swing. That hoard hunter was catching some deep targets tho... neat machine for old school tech.
Many thanks Christy. Glad you enjoyed! Some great finds and targets
It looks like a dagger. If used to block a blow from a larger weapon the typically break close to the cross guard. The cross guard could be nearby yet.
Thanks Jan. much appreciated. I’ll keep hunting for the other but found close to a river it could have been intentionally broken as an offering
Watching in VEGAS 👍🇺🇸😎
THANKS FOR POSTING 👍
Many thanks Joe. Out today and we got GOLD and Roman silver 🤩 video just uploaded 😯
I absolutely love this channel. It just brings me joy!
Another interesting one buddy. I'd have been made up with the spear tip, or sword end.. Well done to Albert as well, getting his first Roman silver. Bless up 👊
Well done both of you looks fun Bonsie 🤩
Cheers Mr Fairy 🧚♂️
Will meet you soon hopefully got my deus 🤣
Thks for another great video. Nice finds. Loved the sword blade and Roman coin.
Exciting when a deep ploughed field has potential to give up its hoards. West Country Clegg is a great channel! “ Good afternoon my Lovers!”
Hoping that you uncover some epic finds with the deep detector!
Great video again John.!!! In the earlier issues of George V coins, he had a slightly larger head on em. His neck line on the early ones reached down into the line of the legend. So you were right his head is slightly smaller🙂
So…when you made that deal with the devil…exactly what did you have to put up? 😁. LOL! I think a part of your channel’s growth is your format…how you present your content…what you spend OUR time showing…the editing. We get to watch only the most interesting bits. And of course there’s the world class finds! When are you going to pull a gold crown or iron age chariot out of the dirt? I’d ask for a field totally full of Celtic gold…but that’s already been done.
Awesome from the Roman field again. I would love to try that place. Today you got the Roman.
Sword/speer/dagger was for me the top find. 1 because its just cool and 2 the colour was breathtaking.
Top job as allways 💥 ya 👍
Many thanks as ever! Happy hunting and thanks for watching
Ahhh, yes. This is what I was hoping for…some bigger/deeper detection and some comparative detecting. Ahhh…as I suspected, the smaller coils only see metal that’s shallow. Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend.
I recall Commodus was the Emperor Joaquin Phoenix played in Gladiator with Russel Crowe. Just think that is a coin that was circulated around the time the real-life Commodus was in rule. Brilliant find, Albert!
Wow wow wow.. unbelievable John absolutely brilliant! You deserve every bit of the glory🤩
George did have two different heads, the early ones were larger & his head was so big during striking they would show through on the reverse side.
Thanks Tony, I’d never realised before, who have thought gorgeous George would have a head that’s too big 😆
Excellent work carrying all that equipment lovely finds Albert roman was lovely to what a field
Lovely finds indeed! That sword tip or dagger is amazing! Kind Thanks Scottish Brother and Many Blessings and Super Finds! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
awesome find on the sword john. happy for you. by the way was it you that made the local papers about finding the william silver. my 92 yr old mum who lives close to you was telling me about it, i call her every day from california.
Thanks Roy, that wasn’t me but I heard about it but it was from Perthshire and I think it’s a one of a kind valued at over £10,000
The fields of Perthshire just keep on giving!!
@@thescottishdetectorist well maybe the sword will get you in the papers, you deserve some notoriey.
hi John great find I'm sure in another video you found part of a bronze sword
You should use flag markers when using that hoard hunter and run it for a few hours and then hit them later with the Deus2, so you don't have so much to lug around.
@Ty Matt I agree with yoy. Since it's old tech that would make sense then he could see what or IF the Deus 2 picks up a determination of metal type/depth.
Don't get me wrong, I love finding things... but I enjoy more researching the history/origin of items that I have never seen before. Your recall of history regarding the things you find and where they might placed is impressive. I truly wished my brain worked similarly. Thank the Gods for Google. 😀
WOW!! That spear tip or sword tip is the true star of the day! That is magnificent John, well done!! I bet the folks at the Scottish Museum would be very interested in seeing that wonderful treasure. You also found a nice Roman coin, along with the "jammy swine" finding the silver Roman denarius, well done Martin! I love when you find such great items, you men are legends!
Such fun again watching your video!! Congrats to the very cool finds! 😃👍
About the sword, I wonder if it's maybe a dagger instead? Even for just the tip of a sword, it looks somewhat too slim to me. But I'm no expert; these are just my random thoughts. It's, either way, an incredible find!! To dig up something that must be so very old... My imagination always runs wild about who might have owned these things and how they ended up there. I wish, we could time-travel! 😅
Bloody hell that's a stonking find and we'll deserved after lugging that lot around with ya, fair play! Bring on the next episode...👊
My guess is a dagger. Nice find!!!
thanks Tyler. Apparently what we call a rapier or long dagger!
It seems that the HORD FINDER misses smaller items, like coins and buttons, found at shallow depths. Hmmmm… cool. Blessings y’all.
Yes only big deep items!!
Your channel is just the coolest! Congratulations to you and your friends on all the relics you’ve so far discovered and best wishes on all the ones yet to be discovered! Cheers, mate!
Way to go on the sword find! I was so excited for you! Congrats to Albert for his first Roman silver. It's a beauty!
I don't think your subscribers would mind if maybe you used the deep detector and marked a lot of spots, then record you digging the holes for the find. That way you wouldn't have to spend as much time setting up the tripod or dragging it around. As you dig, you could tell us if you tried the other metal detector, if it found the signal and if it picked up what it measured. Just a suggestion to try and make it easier for you.
🤯 Oh my, nice dagger blade!
See a Scottish detectorist video, clicked quicker than I can say good stuff haha! Always live your videos and congratulations for all of your recent finds! Smashing it recently
Me too👍😀
Tremendous find tremendous channel, am completely hooked sw🏴
Brilliant video as always. Amazing find John, well done Albert. Good luck to you both . 🤞🤞🤞
Between John, Albert and Clegg they could they could have there own Museum ! John could be the currator .😅😅😅😊😊😊
Out and about so can't watch this now. Something for me to look forward to later today.👍😉
