- 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 !!!”
Nice finds…a silver Roman and a Bronze Age letter opener…lol!
I love hearing your amazement and excitement. Probably 2000 year old sword and really old Roman coins! Good for you! Amazing! Virginia, Colorado, USA
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. 🙏🏻🗡️🪙🪓🏺
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 :)
Bronze Age dirk, wow, field of dreams!! I wonder how much we all miss without a hoard hunter?!! Well found. Thanks for sharing.
Great spear, fantastic colour, take that all day over a silver denarius , bloody good finds, well done again John 👍👍
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
16:13 it’s a BLOODY SWORD!😂 never fail to make me laugh lol😂 your finds are on another level mate!!
Watching in VEGAS 👍🇺🇸😎
THANKS FOR POSTING 👍
Many thanks Joe. Out today and we got GOLD and Roman silver 🤩 video just uploaded 😯
If only you had found a bow too. Then you'd be ready to help some hobbits into Mordor.
Haha 😂 and a ring that makes me disappear would be great too 😂
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
Super terrific finds, guys! Thanks for bringing us along with you.
Much appreciated and thanks for watching
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 😄
Awesome dig Bronze sword and a big axe head. Going great today
Much appreciated Marc. Beautiful
Watching from Central Texas, USA.Great hunt. Tip of the Hat.
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...
Magic find that sword!
Hoots mon
Cheers! 🍻
Great finds! I really enjoy watching your videos.
Many thanks, Glad you are enjoying Derin! See you on the next!
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!
wow love that bit of the sword and amazing silver roman well done guys 👍
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!!
Nicely done guys I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching Fred much appreciated
Very nice to see the AT PRO digging Roman silver lol
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
Congrats to these beautiful finds 👏👏
Guess that bronze blade could be a find of the year already!
It's like winning the lottery 👍🏻🍀🍀
OMG! The patina on that sword is truly gorgeous. I am blown away. So happy you found it.
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!
Your sword is remarkable. I'm so happy for you. Love your videos. Keep up the detecting.😊
Excellent work carrying all that equipment lovely finds Albert roman was lovely to what a field
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!!
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 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 😂
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.
Superb video again John. 👏
Fantastic find that sword or spearhead, incredible 👏 cracking find.
Congratulations to Albert on his first Roman silver.
Magnifiques, extraordinaires 👍👍👍merci bcp pour cette belle vidéo 👍
Merci! Auld Alliance 🏴 🇫🇷 ❤️ and found with a French metal detector XP 🤩
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
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 absolutely love this channel. It just brings me joy!
Wow mate what a crazy day well done top digging that, 👏👏👏
Thks for another great video. Nice finds. Loved the sword blade and Roman coin.
Love the patina on both the coins but especially the sword blade, awesome find my friend
Get in there mate well done
I watch you from Massachusetts .Very enjoyable videos ! Thank you !
Marvelous!!!
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 😂
😮😮😮 Way to go!! Absolutely amazing find!
Absolutely wonderful video! Congratulation on the bronze age artefact! That is a beautiful piece! Sincerely appreciate you bringing us along!
very nice finds
Thanks Tom. See you on the next
Awesome from the Roman field again. I would love to try that place. Today you got the Roman.
I would say its early Bronze Age dagger! EPIC found brother
Good old West Country Clegg for lending out his equipment. I hope your subs go check him out. :) Great finds!
Thanks Clem 😍
Sooo much fun!!!!!
Yeah…I’d vote dagger as well. What a gorgeous color! Museum worthy.
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.
Outstanding finds John. Don't give up on the hoard.
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.
Brilliant video as always. Amazing find John, well done Albert. Good luck to you both . 🤞🤞🤞
OH DAMN! you lucky man! you did it, great job and thank you for taking us with you
Much appreciated Sheila
Excellent! On to gold!
Thanks AD…. Fingers crossed!
Thank you for always being entertaining and informative! King Robert the Bruce!
Lovely finds indeed! That sword tip or dagger is amazing! Kind Thanks Scottish Brother and Many Blessings and Super Finds! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Sword beautiful color and patina
What great finds. I wonder what else can be found deeper into the ground. The sword/dagger is beautiful. Congratulations both on your finds.
🤯 Oh my, nice dagger blade!
That spear/sword is amazing 💪 what a find ! 😃🤘
Wow just Wow 🔥🔥🔥 Brilliant finds 🏴🇺🇸
Between John, Albert and Clegg they could they could have there own Museum ! John could be the currator .😅😅😅😊😊😊
The museum is going to be very very happy to see that blade! What a find!
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
Museum trip!
Haha 😆 oh no, not again
Congratulations what a great hunt what ever it is it’s brilliant congratulations to Albert on his silver Roman
👍🤗 Good morning!
WOWZA! Great finds!
That’s so cool
I think this is amazing
Hello from North Carolina
Damn John! You guys just keep pulling the most wonderful treasures!!! Congrats to you both! Another insane video!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Cracking finds again 😊
Cleggy will be in tears. Brill video.
He was very happy for me, and I wouldn’t have found it without him lending me it, so I might snap it in half again and send him half as a thanks 😊 😆
@@thescottishdetectorist Of course he was. He will won't to now the settings you were using.
Know 🙂
Beautiful
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!
Your videos are unbelievable, best channel ever!
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
Tremendous find tremendous channel, am completely hooked sw🏴
Top job as allways 💥 ya 👍
Many thanks as ever! Happy hunting and thanks for watching
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
HOLY HELL MAN! Guess your luck hasnt run out lol. great job again buddy.
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.
My guess is a dagger. Nice find!!!
thanks Tyler. Apparently what we call a rapier or long dagger!
Wow wow wow.. unbelievable John absolutely brilliant! You deserve every bit of the glory🤩
Wow! Would be great to get the bronze analysed in order to determine the origin. Awesome channel, I'm hooked!
Well done both of you looks fun Bonsie 🤩
Cheers Mr Fairy 🧚♂️
Will meet you soon hopefully got my deus 🤣
The sword is a fantastic find
By far my favourite channel on the tube, some cracking finds again 👍
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!
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.
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!
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!! 🥰🥰🥰
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 👊
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...👊
