Really nice to see you enjoying days out exploring in the Britsih countryside and get some insight into what' it's like to go detecting and digging. I do miss the weather, which adds to the adventure! I loved the laughter of finding a one pence piece from 1977. Makes you think about how it got there. It doesn't matter that you're not always digging up buried treasure but finding enjoyment in all the things in nature to be discovered, including fossils! Used to go fossil hunting along the banks of the River Severn (Whale Warf). Always found fossilized shells. Love the castles too. II hope my kids get to experience it one day.
Plan A - scrubbed, Plan B - scrubbed Plan C (alternate)...success. Lesson for life... Plan ahead, but have alternatives pre-planned, as well, ...and "fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run" (Kipling)... This is a good lesson in life, Dawn...not only for detectorists. Well done, all !!! Salute, from Florida, USA.
Wise words at the end Dawn. Loved the castle adventure just oozing with genuine history, imagine the sweat and graft that went into building those amazing structures
I love watching your videos Dawn 😊 No matter what you can always make me smile 😊 I think it’s wonderful that you and your two best friends were with you! It’s always great to see diggy and Chris with you! The old castles are beautiful they built them to last over the centuries. How amazing is that! Have a fantastic week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Always happy to see your walkabouts. I sympathesize with the torrential. We've had the wettest July in decades, and a huge storm flooded some streets, and... well, long story short, I took a walk around a bee butterfly and frog pond to cheer myself up. Great little doggy you have. He goes everywhere
Great video Dawn, the image next to the Benchmark on the castle wall looked like a 'Scratch dial' which was used to tell the time, similar to a sundial, often found on old church walls. Hope Diggy has recovered
Hi Digger and Dawn, like the video and even though I’m not a metal detector’ist myself, a exceedingly long time ago when I was a little lad, my mum and Dad invested in a cheap detector and while on holidays down south we spent hours upon hours around coves and beaches etc. we had a good amount of early h’pennys and pennies too, a few six pennies then decimalised monies with a gold ring thrown in. I did enjoy it. Anyway all the best from sunny Lancashire (well just in greater Manchester BUT to me it will always be Lancashire, on the edge of Bolton). P keep detecting and Digger keep Digging, Phil
This was an enjoyable video Digger, loved seeing Diggy, all three of you made a nice alternative weekend. Loved all those old ruin's, I always get this tugging on my heart wanting to see them as they were in their hay~day, I hate the thought of whoever it was that destroyed them.. What a shame.. On to the next.. 😊
Diggy's face when sat in that shed is priceless, he looks proper fed up with things and because he's been blown from pillar to post, he also looks a bit second hand, like he'd been out on the rum f9r the whole previous night... He's bloody cute though.
YES!! You’re right!! I did indeed find a spoon! It was in my local river,the Black River,in Lorain Ohio. A basic,probably school cafeteria spoon. I cleaned it up,and use it now! It’s actually my only detecting find,other then lead fishing weights and beverage cans😫
Yep. Not unusual for me to find a couple of spoons each dig here in the goldfields of a central Victoria Australia. Usually old fiddleback kinds, very worn. Those bridges were awesome. What tales they could tell. Thanks for taking us for a looksee.
A pessimist would say you got a penny younger than me for your troubles. An optimist would say you saw sights you'd never have seen, were it not for the storm. Thanks for sharing a wondrous weekend. Cheers!
Hi Dawn , loved this vid about the castles and old bridges really found it interesting it,s a pity you could not detect around them as there would be some great finds.
Sorry your weekend was ruined by our great British weather. But you are so right Dawn you can always found something more suitable to do if you try. Thanks for sharing with us ❤
I love metal detecting but i love history and ancient castels and ruins more. Great video. Can you just picture how many people have crossed that bridge? You could tell thousands upon thousands the way the stones were rounded!!
Nice video shame about the weather though .. lovely old bridge .. glad you’re little dog didn’t get chewed up .. love and peace from Lancashire .. ✨🕊✨💗🕊💗🕊💗🕊
I wish we had some castles here in Canada like you have there. I enjoy vids like this a little bit of everything. Detecting, castles, weather, running water, Kev and course Diggy
Great video , shame a out the rain , loved the old stone clapper bridge , if you ever get in the area around Austwick near Settle there are some amazing examples of these ancient bridges .Not a comet by Leeds glass ( Andy and Leah Dalton on my work phone )
Great to meet you and Diggy. Our Fudge sends his love and he's dried out now 😂 That staffie should have been on a lead, he got my boy too😮 Thank you for adding my Fudge the Pinpointing Pug to your video.❤️ From us all @RUDIGGINIT x
Glad Fudge managed to stay out of the Staffys mouth too, I was having flashbacks all night about what would have happened if it had been 2 seconds later !! Was great meeting you, even if it was for a short time
What can I say? The tours were worth the look. Not sure about that windswept Sheila eating ice cream though. At least you added to your collection of mootubes. One looked to be a rare type. That bridge has seen a lot of traffic. getting worn down like a olde girl I know.
Your second ancient bridge is called a 'Clapper Bridge', flat stones on stone piers. There a a few on Dartmoor. That was a really interesting tour. My daughter lives near Brough, I will have to visit as I love old ruins like that, so much hand laid stone in Castle walls it makes you wonder how many men and how many years to build! P.S., good advice in the Description, but 'your equipment' is a bit out of date :>D
@@DiggerDawn I'm not quite sure what you mean by that - The rest of the vid had sound, but the outro clip was very low in comparison, as though you were using the camera's mike, not the usual one.
Great video dawn really enjoyed it, please don't think every staffordshire bull terrier is vicious, my sraffy loves all dogs and people, i always say a dog is only as good as its owner. 😊
Yes, I live in Ohio and I find spoons all the time. On old farms mostly, wonder if it's because they would eat on the job so they didn't have to walk the 60 or whatever acres back to house. Love finding them
I love castles. Maybe people have secrete moo tube buttons on their detectors, That's why you're always finding them. I would make them tell you how to get a NO moo tube button as well. 😳🙃😁😂
I had two of my dogs out detecting, and one of them laid down in front of me, so I detected over him and got a signal. It turned out, he must have eaten something metal. And no, I didn't follow him around to find out what it was. Hi Diggy!
@@DiggerDawn yea it was a solid signal, and it was on a sheep farm, possible had cows in the past. Can I ask what coil are you using on that at max, is it stock ? I picked up mine yesterday and swapped it with some cash for my at pro. Can't wait to use it.
The fossil Chris found looks to be a Lepidodendron fossil, really amazing find!
Stigmaria root.

You had a Fabulous time that's all that matters, another fabulous episode ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am sorry about the rain but see amazing castle and forts plus little was enjoying it as well
Thanks it was the worst rain ever!

Thank goodness for Wycoller Village and the eyes only fossils 😲
That fossil is amazing!
It was wonderful to see Diggy out and about, he was definitely on the trail of something in final sequence 👌😀👍
Wise words at the end Dawn.

Hi Steve 😎👋
Yeah it amazes me how many of them are very high up, and I always wonder which poor bugger had to carry the stones to the top!
This was fun Dawn! You three really did make the best of it. Diggy is so adorable! Thank you both for taking us on your adventure!
Great day out even if you weren’t detecting, you found a beautiful place to stop and enjoy the scenery. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Great shed saved the day
Loved watching your little alternative adventure ❤
Thanks Terry glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful old sites. Thanks for sharing. And fabulous for taking lemons and making us some lemonade!!!
Thanks for another entertaining and informative vid from fellow TH-camr metal detectorists in Buffalo, NY. We love your channel!!
I love watching your videos Dawn 😊 No matter what you can always make me smile 😊 I think it’s wonderful that you and your two best friends were with you! It’s always great to see diggy and Chris with you! The old castles are beautiful they built them to last over the centuries. How amazing is that! Have a fantastic week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
The castle and fort tour was excellent. Send some of that rain my way its 43 here and not a cloud in sight. Awesome video thank you.👍♥️
Always happy to see your walkabouts. I sympathesize with the torrential. We've had the wettest July in decades, and a huge storm flooded some streets, and... well, long story short, I took a walk around a bee butterfly and frog pond to cheer myself up.

I've never known weather like it, rest of the world is on fire and here we are 2 coats on and torrential rain for 7 weeks now
Beautiful English weather we love it!! Well overcome and still a great day!! Nice one Dawn 👍😜
Stigmaria fossil. I have found a few in the Irwell. Nice find Chris.
It's was so nice to see Diggy!! You and Chris adapted, improvised and overcame...well done!!
Theres so much history around there we were spoiled for choice :-)
Great video Dawn, the image next to the Benchmark on the castle wall looked like a 'Scratch dial' which was used to tell the time, similar to a sundial, often found on old church walls. Hope Diggy has recovered
How interesting. Thank you
There's something about exploring old ruins, can only imagine standing in one that 800 years old.. another day video, keep up the good work!!
That was a great video,love seeing ancient lands.Thank you!
Diggy hated the rain but bounced right in the creek. Good luck come next adventure.
Loved the trip! Indeed, making the most out of what you have is key! xx
So true! I would have rather gone metal detecting on great land, but it was what it was and I enjoyed the alternative
Hi Digger and Dawn, like the video and even though I’m not a metal detector’ist myself, a exceedingly long time ago when I was a little lad, my mum and Dad invested in a cheap detector and while on holidays down south we spent hours upon hours around coves and beaches etc. we had a good amount of early h’pennys and pennies too, a few six pennies then decimalised monies with a gold ring thrown in.

There were many battles from 1000 years ago, all having a go
Thank you for the incredible tour of the ancient castles, that stone work was just fantastic 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
So sorry you didn't get your hunt in, but really enjoyed the castles tours! ❤️
Im glad you enjoyed it :-)
That was a fun video and you have a beautiful garden. Perhaps you, Chris and Diggy could do other videos exploring "Historicalness". 🙂
Great idea!
Sorry about the weather but ty for the tour enjoyed it... x
Dawn. Yes we find spoons in BC Canada all the time, unfortuanely they are usually burnt of the bottom of the spoons bowl.
Diggy's face when sat in that shed is priceless, he looks proper fed up with things and because he's been blown from pillar to post, he also looks a bit second hand, like he'd been out on the rum f9r the whole previous night... He's bloody cute though.
He always has that pissed off expression even when hes having a good time hahaha
Hello Dawn from Clifton, NJ, U.S.A. !!!! We dig spoons all the time around here!
Hi Best video yet Diggy in his element 😀
Awesome video Dawn!!! I love the old castle and thank you for sharing with us.I hope you two have a great week.
Thank you! You too!
Really interesting vlog, sorry the weather changed your plans though! I hope Diggy is ok after his ordeal.
Yeah he enjoyed himself, Im going to take him to Detectival
YES!!
You’re right!!
I did indeed find a spoon!
It was in my local river,the Black River,in Lorain Ohio.
A basic,probably school cafeteria spoon.
I cleaned it up,and use it now!
It’s actually my only detecting find,other then lead fishing weights and beverage cans😫

Great to see diggy out there doing his job. Enjoyed your video stay blessed and happy great day 🙏🥰🌴❤👍🍺
He loved it, he had such a good time
A pessimist would say you got a penny younger than me for your troubles. An optimist would say you saw sights you'd never have seen, were it not for the storm. Thanks for sharing a wondrous weekend. Cheers!
That's exactly it!! Obviously I would have preferred finding treasure with Maxi, but we made the most of things
I'd love to get a detector around that Castle
Hi Dawn , loved this vid about the castles and old bridges really found it interesting it,s a pity you could not detect around them as there would be some great finds.
I know, on the roman fort picture it had pictures of Roman brooches that had been found there by archaeologists
Sorry your weekend was ruined by our great British weather. But you are so right Dawn you can always found something more suitable to do if you try. Thanks for sharing with us ❤
Sometimes things are out of your hands, and you have to make the best of things which we did
I love metal detecting but i love history and ancient castels and ruins more. Great video. Can you just picture how many people have crossed that bridge? You could tell thousands upon thousands the way the stones were rounded!!
Thats exactly what I was thinking while walking over the bridge, it was sooooo worn
That was nice. And, where Mother Nature is concerned, never discount her & always have a Plan B. Good to see Diggy again.
Nice video shame about the weather though .. lovely old bridge .. glad you’re little dog didn’t get chewed up ..
love and peace from Lancashire .. ✨🕊✨💗🕊💗🕊💗🕊

Really great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Welp if I had to choice between a month ago heat and bug for the chilly wind, I’m down with the chilly wind! Thanks Dawn as always good luck!
Great to meet you and Diggy.

Plenty of spoons here in Australia too !
Yep even in Australia Dawn we find spoons
YAY! DIGGY! And his little bow tie.
My detector doesn't even work when it's wet outside, keeps giving good signals everywhere but when i dig there's nothing there.
Have you got your sensitivity too high, that will create falsing when there is nothing there. If you have a Garrtt machine turn it down 2 notches
@@DiggerDawnThanks i'll try that!
let me know if it works

Yes you should, you have to buy an ice cream to park but its worth it :-)
@@DiggerDawn I think that it is definitely worth it as the ice cream looked fantastic.
Best laid plans get rained on! - - - You forgot to turn your mike on for the outro!
Are you sure it all had sound when I edited it?
@@DiggerDawn I'm not quite sure what you mean by that - The rest of the vid had sound, but the outro clip was very low in comparison, as though you were using the camera's mike, not the usual one.
I can’t speak for all of America but I can tell you that we do dig plenty of spoons in the state of Tennessee.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade....👍 Tons of history...
While walking the lake in the water looking for fishing lures, last week.
I found a fork, a butter knife, no spoon... 😁
Here, my brother is steady
Great video dawn really enjoyed it, please don't think every staffordshire bull terrier is vicious, my sraffy loves all dogs and people, i always say a dog is only as good as its owner. 😊

👍👍
Chris's fossil isn't a stem. It's a root. The root of a stigmaria.
He's right about it being a fern though. It was a tree fern.
I will let him know
Diggy is looking very handsome!
Thank you, he thinks so too haha
You don't want hobbit feet dawn lol my precious 😂😂😂
It was meant to be,lovely sites
❤❤❤❤
Any day with Digger Dawn is a good day.
Spoons are plentiful
Yes they are everywhere!
Ol Diggie Dog looks like he's about to drop a steamer 90% of the time.
What do you feed him, popcorn and cotton candy ? ;-)
As you say make the most of it, life is to short not too😅
i have got rohs metal detecter
Hello Digger Dawn, looks like Diggie is bringing you luck. Not sure what kinda luck but its luck all the same.
Sorry the weather ruined the event. Castle & Hall were beautiful!
Yes such a shame as the land was very historical, but Im glad we resorted to plan B and C :-)
Yep, I find spoons😂 and their always bent like that🤣
Why are spoons everywhere?
Love you video awesome ⚓️🧲👍
Thank you 😁
find spoons a few times a year
You mean you haven't figured out how to control the weather yet 😂 You did make the best of it though and ended up with a bit of adventure 👍
Exactly!!
SPQR
Would have metal detected every thing there, even the crumbling walls, bridge, river....
I have a pile of broken twisted spoons.
Well done for sticking it out and finding something interesting to see instead.
how often does a medieval soldier get paid? once a fought knight!
hahah :-)
Mootube? Wots a mootube?
Barmy weather 😂
Insane the video didn't show it battering it down for hours at a time
@@DiggerDawn I was there, Dry Cow 😂
How wierd i was searchng last week my first find was a glue tube, same as yours, my second find was a .22 bullet.
Its a Moo Tube, vets used it to treat cows with mastitis :-) lovely signal though
@@DiggerDawn yea it was a solid signal, and it was on a sheep farm, possible had cows in the past.
Can I ask what coil are you using on that at max, is it stock ?
I picked up mine yesterday and swapped it with some cash for my at pro.
Can't wait to use it.
You should have metal detection at the castle and the bridge. Cause that's were the treasure is
Any day with Digger Dawn is a good day.
❤❤❤
