On the inside of old wooden shields there was a handle for the fist and two leather straps for the forearm. These were adjustable in size like a belt. You would need 2 knobs like the duck piece for it. It´s so small.
Thanks Knut, good knowledge and much appreciated- All the Best, Alexander
Great finds as always Alexander!😊
Absolutely love buckles and you without doubt find the best of the best on TH-cam keep the amazing channel going!😊
Just a thought but maybe add a members section? So we can join as members will boost your TH-cam income etc we would love that❤
Thanks Mark sorry it's taken so long to get back - its hard enough to get people to watch in the first place! I don't think I want to put them off any further 😁 I do have "superthanks" which three people have used in the last three years - not a lot but it all helps I suppose! None of us like to part with our money these days do we? Hope all well!
Amazing day Alex what great finds brilliant video as always 🤩
Thanks Lesley and hope all well!
@@HolzHammerSagas all good thank you can’t wait to get back on the fields roll on harvest time 😁
Great video Alexander some lovely finds aswell keep up the good work
Thanks Bobby - much appreciated and sorry not to have got back to you sooner! All the Best, Alexander
Hi Alex. I've found the same what you thought was a medicine buckle can't find your video to it but it's a 15th 16 th it's a horse stirrup
Good stuff Aaron 👍😁
Saxon,Roman,new silver coins oh my! You have it all in that field my friend. Lovely video. Turtle nesting season starting in Florida, so must fill all holes completely when metal detecting! Cheers from North Florida.
its Ostridge nesting season here in the UK! good day to you!
We don't get anything that exotic here Michele! Hope all well and lucky you! All the Best!
the most incredible brooch looks viking to me.at a guess. wow
I think it may well be SSS... hope all well!
Interesting vblog. You have some marvellous land that provides good finds 🎉
Thanks
hello 🍀🍀🍀alexander.. kind regards..
Thanks Stephan hope all well!
@@HolzHammerSagas ich sag dir bescheid :)
As always a superb video and brilliant finds 👏 you really are a lucky man 👏👏👏
Cheers Rob - all good with you I trust!
Alexander, great VT as always, thank you. George VI shilling. Yes, worth a quid or two only, but isn’t it just a lovely coin, I’d dig them all day 😁👍
It really is Adrian - all well with you?
My thoughts are a that it’s a cross from the front of a large bible👍(11:00 mins)
My thoughts to
I think it might well be
Thanks Colin
George VI shilling
yes, i did realise my mistake! 😁
Alex, enjoy all your videos. You take your finds to a new level, meaning we want to know and you show/ prove it! Thanks
Thanks for that Playin' - means a lot! Hope all well and All the Best!
He does some fantastic research 👏
@@robbieallan6522 Cheers Robbie!
Hello Alex, what a varied selection of finds. I’m envious of the time periods you have finds from. We Americans on the West coast are relegated to hopefully older coins along with some being silver and the much rarer gold one. Beach hunting we still regularly get gold and silver jewelry. My old favorite spots along rivers have been absolutely ruined by the homeless who camp and trash everything up. Of course they don’t lose any silver or gold crack pipes or syringes. I’m relegated to hunting the foothills for the occasional gold nugget or a coin of hopefully silver and the illusive gold one. Thanks for taking us along on your hunt… John
Not at all John I am only sorry your hunting grounds are a bit tainted... Hope all well all the same!
@@HolzHammerSagas Alex, I manage to do okay. But I really enjoy the variety of finds in your videos my fried…John
Sounds epic shame about the trash situation but the river I detect along doesn't have a homeless problem but I still pull out tin foil coke cans (vintage) and dozens of old ring pulls but I've found a couple of coins and a buckle nothing mind blowing but still awesome fun.
Wow wow wow, superb find Alex 💥💥💥
Thanks Rush and sorry for not getting back sooner!
@22.55 Do you have asthma? Can hear you wheezing quite a bit????
I am just unfit Lawrence... though I do get the odd very minor asthma moment... I suffer from eczema and hayfever and its all related but I donty htink i had it that day so cant blame it! Thanks for noticing though!!! 😁
Well done Alex 👏 👏👏
Amazing finds again, very very interesting. The guilded buckle is a really lovely yellow colour of gold, the colour does give it a look of that part of the world IMHO.
Thanks Gary... you never know...!
thanks for sharing and i would be out there everyday
Thanks BC!
👋🏼 Wow what an amazing day’s detecting Alex - even by your standards! Re: that angled piece ‘cruciform vs. furniture’ I’m definitely with you here! For me, the sheer artistry of it is beautiful/naive - so much more in keeping with a proper relic as opposed to something functional/‘quasi ornate’. Love to know how you progress with that…. Anyways, thanks as ever for the great content, and also nice to hear you (may) finally have a speaker solution…. 🙏. 👏👏. Ttfn, Bobby 🐡
lets hope so Bobby!!!! Hope all well!
Imagine it on a bible or attached to a piece of timber as a cross. I love it no matter what it is
@@selzasteve837 🙏
Great hunt Alexander, nice variety of interesting finds. I tried your suggestion on watching Miss Detectorist UK video she is charming. Give Tasky a tummy rub for me. Stay well. Al,NJ,USA
Glad you liked Miss D Al and hope all well!
Wonderful day out detecting Sir, I always enjoy your video's, thank you so much!
Thanks Nolarino! Hope all well and nice to hear from you!
Amazing finds! That gold piece is extraordinary! I thought Saxon when I saw it but haven't a clue really. I hope you're able to remove some more of the corrosion. 😃
Me too - I'll go gently so don't worry on that front either - Hope all well!
Cracking array of finds as ever, Alex. I get what you're saying about the "set square" being a little flimsy for a furniture brace, though maybe it was purely decorative. Being incomplete, we don't know its true original form but I'd be leaning towards its maybe coming off a thumping great book cover. Maybe identifying what the etchings in the finials are might give a pointer, too.
book ornament seems a popular line of questioning John! I am not sure its furniture related I must admit...Hope all well!
Hi Alex, I always have my doubts when the consensus is a furniture fitting. It seems to be the default for ‘Don’t Know’. If it is crudely made it might be Roman or amateur made ? But most periods items were generally very well and accurately made. Metal values were much higher back in the past because there was no mechanised mining so great care was taken during manufacture. I assume the Romans used slaves to mine metals so their metals were relatively less expensive.
It would be good to research which periods accepted sub regular artefacts. Not many I suspect. Coins were obviously Sub Regular because they needed to be mass produced at near zero cost and the value was in the base metal. Only in the last 300 years or so has perfect regular shaped coinage been possible due to modern machinery being available.
👍
good knowledge OP thank you and plenty of food for thought!
Wow, What a find Alexander, Like with every piece but that broach in particular, I would love to know its story.
Me too Dom, i will keep researching and hopefully will have an update for next time 👌
Great vid as always Alexander. Thanks for the settings, they are good and very deep. ( now my go to program ) Love the zoomorphic item.
Oh good Mick I am glad they work for you too!
Thanks for another fine one Alex. And, for the time you take to make these. Fun.
Not at all Francine , thanks for taking the time to watch them! x
The silver coin from, you tought it was george the 5the, is in fact george the 6the. George the 5the had a beard and was also called gourges george. The second silver coin you had it right. That is george the 5th...😃👍
Thanks Jack!
Hello Alex awesome finds
I would like to purchase the 1 shilling if possible from Claire what the web site again please
Thanks Claire! I will send details! x😁
Hi Alex, you mentioned on one of your vlogs about a coin with two centurians holding two standards can you tell me who the person on the front of the coin is please. Thank you
Dave it could be one of several Emperors you will have to do some research; that reverse started with Constantine the Great I think, but could be one of his sons or successors too - look up "Gloria Exercitus" two soldiers and standards and good luck - let men know what you come up with!
It looks like your item has been bent over and would have been straight rather than having a 90* bend in it. Just a thought...
Very possibly Jeanne, thank you very much and sorry not to have got back to you sooner! All the Best, Alexander
You seem to be really getting the hang of the d2 the question is would you now go back to the d1 ? Hope your well 👍
I will occasionally on arable definitely its such a good machine the 1 and less bossy!
(23:00 mins) medieval harness pendant hanger. Hard to see on your video but was the hammered Henry 6th?
It could well be Mick I will "hub" it!
It's possibly an early reliquary casket cross...👍👍
Could easily be I hadn't thought of that - thank you Malc and All the Best, Alexander
I would have said it was from a small document box...but what do I know?
I think it might easily be Carol...
Looks like it’s a part of a weighing scales. The longest arm has sort of a pointer at the end.
I hadn't thought of that Tom but I know what you mean, thank you
I am guessing your furniture fitting might have been an edging off of an old bound book
Yes could easily be Logan thank you for that! All the Best, Alexander
lovely place to find some lovely finds thank you
Thanks WCM! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
What website do you use for the identification please ?
Hi John - for identifying what in particular?
I laughed when you described the thimble as ‘quite nice’ and ‘lovely’. You sound like me and Roman coins, although I’m not sure I could be as convincingly interested! Love the strap end - there’s nothing missing from it, yours is complete. You can get two types, one more vase shaped (my description, not the proper one)and the type you have which is round. It’s very lovely.
Thanks for the big up to the Detecting Hub, we always appreciate it! Great video (as usual) especially as there were no Roman coins!
P.S. stop peeing about and buy the controller for the signal sounds - it’ll be cheaper than all the equipment you keep buying. You don’t need to ever look at it (I don’t and I know you won’t want to either) but it’ll save you so much fiddling
I'm not doing it Cath! Because I am a stubborn ******! 😁 And it will add to the weight and before you know it I will start saying "... a nice little 78, 79 .... 76,78,79..." I WILL NOT go there! 😁 Hope you are well!
@@HolzHammerSagas at least you are honest 🤣
lovley finds Alex
Cheers Dazza!
Hello Alexander. Hope all is well. Just another fantastic video and day out with amazing finds. Wow, that gold guild animal whatsy😮. But yes, that cross/furniture fitting that looks so interesting to feel it in your hands must be an amazing experience. I buy some coins or finds, and it sounds like a great idea, a small shop on your channel. Hope all is well and looking forward to the next awesome finds on this field. 👍✌️🦘🇦🇺🦘 Ps, give pat Tasc for me.
Hi Allan - I will put out a link to the "shop" soon! Hope all well down there - all good here! I am on the beach!!! 😁
As always, some amazing stuff there. My jealousy is tempered slightly by the fact that although you can wax lyrical about Roman emperors, you don't know George V from George VI 😁
You mentioned eBay a couple of times, so I idly searched for you. I can't find HH as a seller but someone called 'awesomeartefacts' is using your name... is that you or a random chancer?
No thats me Muzzy! I am still testing the water as Awesome Artefacts and getting used to how it all works - glad of it too some bloke has already claimed the coin I posted wasnt even in the envelope so already i have 75% positive feedback which probably isn't very encouraging to potential buyers!
@@HolzHammerSagas Yeah, I spotted that. I thought you had shifty eyes from the moment I first watched one of your videos so it came as no surprise 😉
Just kidding - people are always trying something on, so it's better to learn that while you're still testing the water, I suppose. I haven't sold on eBay for years, so I can't say with any authority, but I'm sure it won't be a common thing. It's a bugger to get one early doors, though.
Anyway, at least I know who to ask when I'm short of empty envelopes 😉
WOW! Nice day, my friend!!! Love the mount, thats so interesting! Hope youre having a wonderful weekend. All well here in southern California! :-)
All good here too Dennis I am on the beach with my boy on the West Coast in Devon so very nice!
@@HolzHammerSagas Very coo, my friend. I hope you guys have a wonderful time!!! :-)
The ‘Hoop’ at 26:20 on the left looks like Bronze Age Ring Money. Crudely made as most coins were and I believe the bronze in these was dated to 2500-800 BC. But you need to put up better pictures. The patina and way it is made and finger ring size points to that.
I'm not sure I believe in the ring money theory OP... I would have an awful lot of it!!! Not completely ruling it out though! Hope all well!
@@HolzHammerSagas Many people also still believe that the Flintlock Jaw Screws are furniture fittings. These ‘coins’ would have been cast by the million so were made very quickly. On some you can see the remains of the Sprue! Have a careful look around the edge. I have a few where the Sprue has not been totally clipped off.
What program you using on deus 2 and u using puck only?
Never had the remote Swift not on the Deus 1 either I use programme 3 with some minor alterations
I love that annular brooch and that gilded fish thing with the knob. Please update if you get it any cleaner or find out for sure what it is. Okay Ally, just pack up all those pesky thimbles and post them to me. After all, I am a seamstress with a small collection of thimbles. LOL I will take them off your hands. I do envy your weather. We are having a nasty heat wave. The heat index was 116 at one point. I am just melting and so thankful for air conditioning. What? No Tasci?
HQ was all such a rush I forgot Cyndye!!!! And i will get some thimbles to you! x
You don't really need to. I was ribbing you. But........
Another belting video. Thanks
Thanks Kurt!
Mind tossing me some of your luck?
🍀... there you go... 😁
@@HolzHammerSagas thanks!
Greetings sir! Great finds and thanks for the pleasant videos you make! Would you share with me the program that you are using on your Deus 2 ws6. If possible, the tweaks that you do too if any.
Theyare a bit different Shamanism; Sensitive FULL tones with Audio response turned down to 3 and No discrimination... not everyones cup of tea I dontimagine but hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander
@@HolzHammerSagas No disc with fulltones is my favourite cup of tea to be honest 👌.Best of luck Alexander ! Hope you find many interesting things so you can share them with us !
What a day you had.
Really good fun so it was!
Fantastic find Alex well done !!
Thanks Chris!
More fantastic things Alex, wonderful to watch
Thank you James and thanks for watching its much appreciated! All the Best, Alexander
Perfect
Ha! Thanks Claire and I am so sorry not to have got back to you sooner! All ok with you?
Hi Ally 👋 Hope you are well so many lovely finds you will have to buy a new cabinet 😅we are both well and still you tubing and little Merlin is a lot bigger now ,a good little boy but with that Terrier temperament somehow he always can tell when its 11.00 pm time for his last walk ..find me another croatal bell its my Birthday next week and the other one is very lonely! 😅😂🤣xxxShaz ⚒
Congratulations Alex on a true treasure!
Thanks BlackCat!
Absolutely amazing finds Alexander, been waiting for a new video to drop..all the best to you cheers Arthur
Yes all good just working hard to old for trying to keep up with all the youngster’s lol but I do try. Hope you’re ok Alex and keep finding the thin-balls 🤭🤭🤭
Well done on your finds and if you do start selling on eBay please provide a link and I will definitely have a look 👍
Thanks Archie i am called awesomeartefacts for the time being!
@@HolzHammerSagas Struggling to find your eBay page so can you please post a link or a description of something from your list that I can search for. Thanks
Lovely strange find ❤
Thanks Robbie!
Hi Alex,
your beautiful garnement looks like being 2 dolphins
That's what I thought
Thanks LeC
😁🙏
Lovely selection of finds Alex 😊
Thanks Calvin I am glad you enjoyed them!
Brilliant 💯
Thanks Kaare!
Go you! 🇦🇺🦘
Ha! Thanks Rosemary!!!! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
Some interesting finds there. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Philip - hope all well!
Brilliant as always ...Alexander....cracking finds....please let us know if you find out more information on the gilt mount...will have a nosey myself, if i find anything i will let you know.......Best nugget.
Cheers Nugget - will def keep everyone up to speed with the mount... hope all well!
🫶🇦🇺
Thanks Selza!!!!! x
😍👍
Thanks Artur! And sorry not to have got back to you sooner!
What a great pin.
and pointy too!
@@HolzHammerSagas 😅
Hi Alex..nice selection of finds..cracking annular brooch,shame the Saxon hooked tag was broken I would grid the area to see if there is another one...All the best Kev..👍
I might have to start gridding a bit more scientifically, thanks Kev and hope all well!
Two dolphins 🤔(20:00 mins). Possibly dropped by a Viking? The two raptors as depicted in Easylife’s example are a common motif in Anglo-Saxon culture (check out the Sutton-Hoo treasure). Dolphins, if they are Dolphins on the other hand are not, so a real head scratcher. Excellent video yet again.
Thanks Mick and thanks for the pointers... much appreciated!
It looks very much like the designs for Dragons heads in the Book Of Kells and it makes me think it could be 7th/8th Century and I wonder if it could be a mount off a illuminated manuscript or box for one
Thanks DM I will look in to it - you may well be right!
Another amazing day Alexander...I love a good coin but by far the most interesting for me are the objects and artifacts you find, some really fascinating head scratching items there!....bit wonky but beautifully made....fantastic stuff mate! Cheers!
Thanks John! And hope all well with you!
Love the videos Alex, you make my day! You have become my go to for exciting finds!!! Also love going back to HQ and hearing all the history as well as adoring your HQ. Thanks Alex!!
Not at all Peter and thanks for that it means a lot! 🙏😁
@@HolzHammerSagas if you ever want to come have a dig in the beautiful Norfolk countryside let me know. Would be great to have you do a video on my permission!!
Just so you know I'm yelling & laughing "stop picking at it Cleggy!" 🤣
I absolutely love your videos and how you laugh with amusement when you're baffled.
As for thimbles, when one is found with a sappy saying like the one you found, I think about the poor young man who probably saved his money and gave it to his love. And she probably cherished it and wore it with pride and was very sad when she lost it.
Don't Carole you are making me feel guilty!!!!!! 😁 Hope all well and sorry not to have got back to you sooner! All the Best!
@@HolzHammerSagas don't feel guilty. I think it's funny. You know what you're doing. I absolutely LOVE the things you find! I'm sorry I made you feel guilty.
✌️😊
OMG Alexander, what an amazing day!! Love the Annular Ring with pin. All the best, John.
I liked that too John its so fine!
Wonderful video as always, Alex. I have found a lot of artifacts with the acorn symbol on them. Perhaps the oak tree was revered in medieval times? Cheers and looking forward too the next one.
Could be Nick I hadnt thought of that... well worth looking in to...
The double headed thing with the lump in the middle looks like a dragonesque brooch.
Thanks Paul 👍
Fantastic film as always and always nice to find something different from the norm, a cracking session mate👍
Thanks BS it really was... hope all well!
Heck of a spot Alexander. You're flying
Ha! Thanks Don!!!
You are so lucky to have such beautiful places to detect. Awesome finds
Thanks Robert and nice to hear from you!
Another great finds video. Thanks.😊
Thanks Adele... hope all well!
Im not sure what area you in, but I have what looks to be a missing part of your furniture fitting/cross item. Im not sure how to send you a photo, but it is identical. I found it in 2017 and always thought it was a strapend.... Until Now. I will try to send you a photo 🙂
you can try using my instagram account its the same name as this channel - look forward to seeing it!
@@HolzHammerSagas I have messaged on Instagram
Very neat to go from the 5th century to the 20th century in the same field with those silver coins!!
Like the large lake in the background too.
Hope you are good!!!!
Its more a flood plain Tim; its quite swampy down there... Hope all well and nice to hear from you, how are you doing?
@@HolzHammerSagas am ok....holiday weekend over here...not doing much...been raining all week!!
Glad you had another incredible day, Alexander! What a great collection of finds!
Thanks Chris!!!! Hope all well
Delightful! Was just as pleased to see George 6th to be honest as well as ancient stuff 😉🇨🇦
me too Steve! Hope all well!
I liked those shillings I bought a load recently so made me laugh he pulled more mint ones out the soil than I paid for in a nice wooden box lol
n1 bud thanks
Ha! Thanks Mr.E
What a great collection of finds! 🫡🤝
Thanks Dalibor... love the coin in your Avatar!!!!
Magical day Alex 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks DM! And hope all well with you! All the Best!
Always wanted to find a sixpence with the acorns and oak leaf on. Love anything to do with Oak........one day.
Well done on your beautiful finds Alex. Xx
I am sure you would prefer to find one Amanda but if you would like that one I will send it to you! x
@@HolzHammerSagas Alex. Im always saying its not the same if someone gives you their finds.
But if you would let me have the sixpence......id happily pay.....i would have that as a good luck charm!!!!!x
