- Scouting hunt on new permission. This new farm has plenty history dating back to Saxon times. Finds from modern to 13th century including plenty of junk as would be expected.

It was nice meeting you at Heathrow Cottages last month. I think Chuck has done well using his new headphones. Enjoying watching you dig, gets my juices flowing for my next trip over the pond at the end of the week. I do want to say how much I appreciate that you emphasize the importance of leaving a dig site neat and clean. Our club bans guys who don't fill in their holes properly. Lately I've encountered a number of obvious night-hawking holes on land we have exclusive permission to hunt. They can't be arsed to take the time to fill them, so we spend as much time filling their holes as digging our own.
Hope you did well on your visit and found many nice goodies. Glad Chuck is doing well with the SurffoneS. It was a pleasure meeting you and your detecting buddies from over the pond.
Enjoyable spin through the land Mal. Nice hunting. Makes me want to come back for another trip. Cheers Doc
Hi Mal, a pleasure watching your digs and your explanation of the area as well as how your detector works. I've just subbed and look forward to more interesting UK history. Regards, Kevin in Iowa USA...Garrett GTI 2500
Nice to see a video again! Digging the same rockhard compacted full with stone rubble soil..
GL and HH to you!

Nice hunt brother.Really like the single loop buckle, Terry.
1st!!!!!! Not a bad hunt even though it was obvious the grass was high and the groun hard and dry. You're probably right,it wil probably be easier this winter. Still you did have some good finds. Happy Hunting.
Nice movie best regards from Joop Holland.
I do my hobby metal detecting almost 45 years.
Hi mal been watching your videos for a while now thought i would leave a comment, Excellant well done and love the way you leave the fields as though no one had been there. Although i am English i now live in South East france lots of roman and medevil finds here although i am a newbie to this i am having some good finds. If you ever get over this way drop me a line i take you out for some searching along the farms i have permission on; good luck with the future Mal......stevictous
Many thanks you to all my new subscribers and for your comments.
Not much land hunting at the moment due to the floods but planning a couple of south coast hunts in a few weeks.
Getting mine tomorrow mate. Can't wait.
Wow to your 2 call's i'd have had 10 call's by now lol. I still use the Lazer B3, great machine from day. No need for all these top quality machines !!
Greetings from Czech republic - Moravia. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. I can't go out these days, a week before was snowing and now its raining on it :/ I look forward to better weather and better finds of course ;D
Salute to GB.
Good hunt Mal. I like the buckle. I've got similar ground on one of my farms outside Edinburgh. Sometimes I can't put the spade in :)
Hello hunter. So beautiful Tones Minelab. Greeting from Albania. Congratulations for your chanel
Hi THI, thanks for watching and your comment.
HH Mal
Love your vids Mal...keep up the good work HH&GL.
Excellent video Mal, just subscribed and will be watching them all!
Looking to upgrade my machine and i'm liking the look of the ctx3030
hi malcom
nice finds, just go's to show good detectors pick up the junk as well, just like most of my days out lol, show it how it is bad with the good, keep them coming...
Always try to keep in honest by showing the rubbish and the goodies :-)
Thanks for the comments guys.
I lost internet connection watching this thankfully
Hi Yo, Thanks for watching and your comment
HH Mal
nice finds Mal well done
The lead disc reminded me of an old curtain weight (usually sewn into the hem of a curtain to make the curtain hang down straight), just a thought. :)
+AlbertBester Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very possible its a curtain weight as think its too heavy for a hew weight.
HH Mal
Enjoyed watching this Mal :-)
Great hunt
Wow, that would be fantastic!
I would LOVE to try metal detecting in the United Kingdom. So much human habitation & history over there, unlike here in Canada where the oldest coin I have found was from 1899.
As to the lead disk: It could very well be a pilgrim's token, they were minted by various groups and private people for hundreds of years. It may also be what's left of a lead seal. Are there any types of identifying marks on it, even faint markings? That would help to narrow down when it was made, by who, & for what purpose.
To be honest, my first thought when I watched you pull it from the ground was that it was a flattened musket ball. But when you said token, I grabbed one of my numismatic books & started searching.
good video thank-you
good vid mal the ground looks a bit hard to dig
Thanks for this vid, Sir! Useful and well made. What soil knife are you using there?
Hi yer I might be going to gogs rally. See you soon. :-)
Show. Very good
Hi DR, thanks for watching and your comment.

Hi mal, what sites or books do you get your info from about the area, I want to research my own village and wanted to know the best way to do it, great video as well keep em up.
+kay hardy Thanks for watching and your comment
One of the best starting points will be in your local library with a large book called "The Victoria history of the county of "insert your county" published for the University of London Institute of historic research by Oxford University Press. Most good librarys normally have a copy in their reference section. I have gleaned many valuable bit of info from my "County of Oxford" version in my library. Make sure you take a pencil and paper as normally you cannot take out on loan

Hello mal,
Great video's!,I've not been metal detecting long,but i've found a couple of those lead disc's!was wondering if you managed to ID them?.
Keep up the good work,Neil.
Neil Frodsham Hi Neil, thanks for watching and your comment.
What I know is they are id' as a plain lead gaming piece like used in a board game like "chequers" or draughty.
Thanks mal.
quick question m8....at about 5:30,you pull out a bit of scrap from the hole,after finding a tiny pellet......why would the machine give the pellet signal more than the scrap signal,given that the scrap is a way bigger piece?
How are you liking the ctx ? I'm tempted but its a lot of money.
Good video but maybe not good to say the name of the farm and county!
thanks for the reply mal will go down this week and have a chat with them, do you know of any good websites for maps and things like that. Thank you
Hi mate I liked your video and you found what you called a strap end what is it? Because I found one the same
Hi David, thanks for watching and your comment.
A strap end is basically the metal end on a leather or cloth belt or strap to keep the ends from fraying. Used through history on many items. If you look on UKDFD web site you will see many examples of these items.

Any advice for those starting out........a good reasonably priced detector?
Hi,
Thanks for watching. All down to your budget
on whats available. There are a good number of decent detectors but there
are also some crap. Also depends on where you are searching and that can have a
big influence in your selection. If your budget is very limiting, you could
consider second hand. You have to be careful with this as there are some dodgy
detectors on EBay either stolen or copies. With a budget of £250 you can buy
the Garratt ACE 250 with change to spare. The best on the market are the
Minelab machines. If you can increase your budget to £550 you can get the
Minelab XTerra 705. Great land detector and good on dry sand. For beach work a
multifrequency detector is really a must if you are looking for good results.
The only drawback with the low price end detectors (single frequency) are
not that good on the wet sand areas so you are limiting where on the beach you
can go. All the good stuff in generally in the wet sand or surf. Most of the
Bling Bling you see in my videos comes from this area of beaches using multi
frequency detectors. The only thing I can say is with the cheaper end detector
you will soon realise its limitation and look at the better detectors then you
take a hit on the cheap one. Also the cost of the detector is not all the
outlay, there are a good set of headphones, digging spade/scoop, bag, probe
etc. If you want to discuss give me a call. PM me and I will send you my number.
***** Cheers mate still considering.
Keep in touch. By the way on the minelabowners.com forum one of the members is selling a mint Minelab Explorer II for £350 and is based in Brighton. Great detector getting long in the tooth but will do the business. Bargain at the price.
Sent you Richards number for Explorer II
Common Sense Fisher F5, good start-up detector with plenty of features.
Funny how people in the past lost things like we all still do today.
Hi Sean, thanks for watching and you kind comment.
Man constantly losses things everywhere, from the loose change coming back from the pub a bit squiffy to ancient Romans working in the fields.
HH Mal
What is the best thing you have ever found and the strangest things you have found.
i am looking to buy a detector, are the detectors from Garrett any good for the UK are what do you advise, Thanks Marty
Hi Marty,
Garrett detectors are good machines but not very popular here in the UK. Obviously big in the USA but still the ATPro is used by a few in UK and the Ace series is a popular budget low end machine.
The majority of detectors used in UK are Minelab or XP which seem to suit the UK conditions better.
A really comes down to where you are planning to hunt and what your budget is. The budget will have a great influence on choice of detector.
Send me a PM with your budget and details of hunting areas and style and I can advise you further. I will send you back my number if you want to talk as better than a thousand words of text.
Thanks for getting back, I will be in touch soon, I will be doing some research in the difference in price and what you get in return, if that makes sense to me or not. Thanks Marty.
Bizim orda çok var altın ama çıkarmak okadar zor
Hi
120 acres per Hide.
The farm as now is a lot smaller so must have been split up at sometime. Current owner of the farm I am searching has around 500 acres. Still researching this area so useful to know how large an area I should be looking at. The Manor house is not on the land I have permission on but the church is. The main natural water source flows on the boundary of the farm.
Thanks for that bit of info.
