The State do not necessarily want to own the finds but do wish to encourage finders to record finds through the PAS scheme. It is a great shame that FLO’s do not have the resources to speed up recording the and return of finds to the finder. This lack of resources will unquestionably lead to our history going unrecorded for future generations and the significance of the artefact will be lost. I, therefore, always encourage people to become “self recorders” within the PAS scheme. Another great vid ALexander - may 2024 bring you even greater success. Cheers.
Very good thoughts and insights Warren, thank you - I honestly think we should be faintly discouraged from bogging the PAS down with every cut half, musket ball and georgian buckle.... just for the time being and then when they are up to speed they can start encouraging us to bring everything again... a bog standard Edward penny is just not important enough to have be logged and data collected - but it can be once they get all our stuff back first and they have the time to deal with it! Phew.... hope all well and Happy Christmas
I entirely agree. I am sorry you have had poor experience with your FLO. My London FLO is rushed off his feet with Thames artefacts. It seems that like me you have enough artefacts to set up your own museum. I would love to help you archive your finds. Cheers.
Honesty, personally, i dont understand why anyone thinks the state has any right over a citizen when it comes to an artifact the citizen digs themselves.
Its tricky Kevin ...compared to some countries our laws are pretty lenient though I think they need some major updating... Happy Chritsmas!
Always had this interest in finding an historical Item & after watching Time Team I understand that the earth & structure around it all helps to put the object historical into context which is important for our history .
The only example I can give is a run out on the Cotswold hills above the Stroud Valleys . Years ago my best mate bought a metal detector which we tried out on what's know locally one of the commons where cows roam in the summer .
So we started in a random area just trying it out & soon we heard that familiar beep & dug into the earth find a military button , then we moved a small distance & beep again , digging just below the surface we found a number of crushed baked been cans ??
What We were finding is the detritus of the 2nd WW2 , this is where the yanks camped in what was knick named sosages a camp site holding US soldiers before DDAY .
After reading about it years later it became clear this is what it was & tho my mate who kept the button , I'm sure we could of traced the army unit camped there but those two Items told me a every day story .
My mother was a local lass who was picked up by an American truck & taken with other local girls to the US field Hospital in the Painswick area who held dances for the soldiers .
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year of digging. 🙂🐻
Thanks Ted - you too! 😁
The building in the background over the past two videos has really given a perspective of the rich history in one small area. Great viewing as always. Best detecting channel 2023. Good luck in 2024. Merry Christmas.
Thanks very much Ric! Much appreciated as always and Merry xmas to you too! All the Best, Alexander
Lovely buckles indeed. And that acorn thimble is a beauty. Happy Christmas Ally 🎄
Thanks Cath - you too!!! 😁
Merry Christmas! I hope you get to spend time with your son. My Christmas is delayed a week by my oldest coming for New years. We have Christmas and a big bonfire in the pasture. I just read that beehive thimbles like yours are from the 1300's. What a great lot of finds in that land! The Roman looks like it was dropped yesterday. Finally got some cold weather here. If you can call mid 50's cold. Should be even colder tomorrow. The chill gets you in the mood.
it sure does Cyndye i spent one Christmas it Australia... it was very odd!!!!! On the beach on Chritsmas day was a strange feeling!!!! 😁 I hope you are all well and have a wonderful New Year/Xmas!!!
Amazing finds as always, thanks for the upload Alexander. Seasons greetings to you and your family. Roll on '24. Best, Jel.
Ha! Thanks Jel and hope all well - Merry Christmas !
Nice little collection of seals. Great condition silver Roman coin. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Philip - and hope all well with you; and nice to hear from you!
All the Best, Alexander
Love the seal matrix, what a find, we have not been lucky enough to find one yet and it is on our bucket list. The motto means that the letter is private and not to be read by anyone, "I am private" meaning the contents of the letter or message and would have been sealed over with the wax so it was visible if the seal was broken.
Good knowledge! And thank you very much! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander
Hey Alexander, good to hear from you on Christmas Day. Hope you’ve had a nice day of peaceful activities with Tasci.
Enjoy the rest of the Christmas break and wishing you a wonderful New Year.
Much love.
Likewise Jonny! Hope all well with you! 😁
Thimbles,coins what great Christmas presents from the detecting Santa! Merry Christmas to Tasci too,my puppy turns 9 on Christmas eve. Hoping more finds in 2024. Cheers from Florida
Thanks Michele! Happy Birthday to your pup!
A very merry Christmas to you and yours.The field of dreams still keeps giving,fantastic as always.The domed thimble dates from 1330-1400,lovely find and complete !
Thanks Edward - good knowledge ; I dont get particularly excited about thimbkes but that ones a nice one and even nicer to hear its quite an early one! 🙏 All the Best, Alexander
What a Christmas present to get to go along today. That place is astounding. Cracking finds
Thanks Don and Happy Christmas to you - looking forward to 2024 being the year of by Gold Roman! 😁All the Best, Alexander
Well done Alexander I've just got back from the grandchildren with a glass of port just in time to wish you and your family happy Christmas while watching you video, perfect way to end a long happy day thank you .🎉
Sounds like you had a lovely day Tim i am glad! Steady on the port! 😁
Hi Alexander, I really enjoy your videos, keep it up. Maybe the bird with the feather on the seal is a Turtle Dove...symbol of love.
I hadnt thought of that DiggingtheP, good knowledge!!! Hope all well
Fabulous finds and I always enjoy seeing Tasci!
Oh Good Belinda ...he is generally a fine hound! 😁
What the authorities doesn't know will not hurt them!!
Hope you had a good Christmas!!
The roman was awesome and i loved the seal matrix for sure!!!!
Holler back!!
Will do Tim - the thing is we have it really lucky here really its such a shame we have a system in place which not only doesnt really work but puts people off using it at the same time... I don't know what the answer is ... hope all well meanwhile!
Happy Christmas from someone who could live in the village!(Short lady 5’1”) I do love your polite rants - long May they last in 2024 !! 😂😂🙌
Ha! Thanks Double D! 😁😂 Im glad you diudn tmiond the rants - the last one almost skuppered my channel - my views and subscribers are both down but i'll fight back ! 😁 Hope you had a good Christmas and All the Best!
Can't wait to hear about the buckle!!
I'll keep you posted savannah!!! 😁
Amazing finds again Alexander! That Roman silver was a peach. Happy Xmas to you & Tasci & all the best for 2024. Cheers, John.
You too John and thanks for all the support last year its been much appreciated ! All the Best!
Your videos are some of the best all around detecting i've seen. Some really cool finds. Love the old buckles!
Thanks Keith thats much appreciated! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
Al, What a beautiful place to walk/ hunt and enjoy
Thanks Hooky! Hope all well and Happpy Christmas!
That wax seal is so cool!
I love finding them Kevin I must say!
nice quiet days🍀🍀🍀
Thanks Stephan! happy Christmas !
That stamp matrix is amazing..
Thanks Robbie I love finding them it gets me reallyexcited! Hope all well!
Wyoming USA. Thank You for the effort. I really enjoy your vids! History teacher father so I love the way you care about and present the finds, with just enough flair to be different from others. I am sure they take a great deal of Work!! But someone a lifetime and a million miles away and much less metal and findable history? We live vicariously. I do live near Yellowstone nat Park! So We have our greatness and charms! But history you can find is not one of them. Keep it UP!! Thank You
Hi Catman and that was very nice to read ... you have given me some fodder when I apologise to my american friends about how lucky we are here in Europe... I had forgotten tht your landscapes are often a bit more striking! I would love to visit Yellowstone one day! I hope all well, Happy New Year and All the Best, Alexander
Yellowstone is beautiful, But like England, Everywhere has its charm. I worked in 32 of our states. Always something amazing if you look. Happy New Year
Seasons greetings Alex and tasci great video to watch. I do think a lot of detectorist are loosing trust with the pas with the amount of treasure gone missing. Len
I'm sure Len... the whole thing needs a major overhaul in my opinion ... start afresh with new trust; i think the amount of people who wont declare anything must be huge and there is a reason for that. All the Best, Alexander
Lovely mate thanks 🙏🏻 Amazing finds as ever, and love those little seal matrices... 🤩 On the hammered myself yesterday (Boxing Day Special!) = James i Half Groat, so that's a whacking total of 3 now this year, from the 'barren wasteland' that is Cheshire fields... 🤣 Ha ha, take care anyways and hope you and the family have a great Christmas & New Year, Bobby 🐭 x
Happy Christmas too you , you have more stuff than most museums fair play too you , your more than lucky to have that land and find such great things 👍
Thanks Shaun and Happy Xmas to you too!
Some fantastic finds well done
Thanks Shaun!
Thanks for another fine video Alex. Love your finds. Carry on, & all the best to you & yours for 2024.
You too Francine!!! And thanks for the support this year its much appreciated !
Some cracking finds there well saved 👍
Thanks Shawn! Hope all well and Happy Christmas and all that! 😁
Excellent finds and video, Alex. Thanks for keeping us all entertained. I always enjoy the H.Q round-up and ID parts, I've reevaluated a few of my finds thanks to you! The 'Medieval' strap junction I found, turns out to actually be Anglo Scandinavian, so thanks to you, I'm even more chuffed with it 😉 I think that lovely decorated buckle you've found, looks a bit Viking? I'm happy to be proved wrong, but will be very interested to know what your Wizard and Warlock friends think it is. I believe the small thimbles you find relate to the times when whole families would be working in the fields. The children would have been earning their keep too, sewing hessian sacks and such in the fields. Halcyon days.... No vaping or PlayStation nonsense for those little tikes! All the very best to you and yours, Sir, and big hugs to Tasci the gold hound❤️
Of course Chops and that made for very good reading! 😁All the Best!
Hi Ally wishing you all A Happy New Year 2024 ❤ shaz & Terry and little Merlin 🎉
Thank you gang!!!! Hope all well and that all is happy ! 😁XxxX
Absolutely brilliant as usual Alexander. I'm not a detectorist myself, but my mate is and he got me into your channel. Best videos out there for us.

That was very interesting Daeja, thank you and hope all well! All the Best, Alexander
Happy Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family and that includes Tasci always love to see him.
Thanks Andy and Happy New Year to you too from me and the hound!
Happy Christmas Alex.

Another fun video to watch and learn from... thank you for making it! Since you detect on farm lands, one has wonder if you have stumbled upon a old foundry/pottery making site... with those small lead pieces and the intentional engravings on them...? Smashing good as always! Cheers from Appalachian southern Ohio, USA! :)

Absolutely splendid finds, would love to find something older than the colonial era items we have here in the states. Glad you're sharing your finds so we can all vicariously enjoy the thrill of your discoveries.
Thanks Blacksand! We are lucky here in that respect and we know it too! Thanks for watching and hope all well!
Just watched your video Alex. Excellent, as always. I don't understand why some viewers are 'put off' by seeing Tascqi (spelling?). I enjoy his impromptu appearances. Many thanks for all your hard work. The editing is probably a bit of a pain in the arse, it certainly would be to me.😁😁 All the best. Looking forward to future videos. Victor.
Thank you Victor and I am glad you dont mind a bit of Tasci - no "q" but I think i might add one now I have seen it in type... very smart!
Another great hunt on this field. Always something extraordinary to find. Happy New Year to you and yours. Cheers Alex! ❤😊
Thanks Martin and seasonal best wishes to you all over there! All the Best!
Alex, what a great video with beautiful finds. Thanks for all those hours of viewing pleasure in 2023! Happy holidays and a happy new year! May the finds in 2024 exceed those of 2023, accompanied by good health, of course!
Likewise Benny! Happy Christmas
Cool channel - looks fun. Thanks.. 🎉

Merry Christmas Alexander lovely video thank you for all the great videos wishing you Happy New Year

Good luck with it Alex - let me know how you get on and all the Best to you too!
Super condition on that roman silver! What a find! 🙏✴️.
I will scroll your channel. Do you have any coin cleaning tip previous? Or idea of where to find?
Thanks! Enjoyed the video!
🤩👍
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ✴️🙏
Good wasnt it - its not often they are neither unclipped or uncracked! I do have some coin cleaning videos on my other channel Holzhammer LITE, and thanks for watching! Happy Christmas and All the Best, Alexander
Happy Christmas and a happy new year Alex.
You too William!
Another bloody brilliant vid, wish I could get some good land to detect as an archiolagist it's still difficult so only really get to dig on our digs in europe and got no problem with people finding history, and the main history is well beyond a metal detector depth.
Thats very true Chris its all a bit silly - the British system is not really that bad just needs sensible people in charge with sensible ideas to make it work and to encourage us not the other way around which is exactly whjat has happened with me! Hope all well and thanks for watching - its much appreciated - All the Best, Alexander
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet dog!!
Ha! Thanks Lee - he is quite sweet - very loving but tough as nails too! 😁
Awsome finds. Enjoyed as always Happy Holidays .
You too Douglas! 😁
i really like the seal matrix,, ive only ever found 2,, my first was a monks seal...simalr shape to your one,, chessman type i believe,, mine had jesus in a crown of thorns surrounded by bread and wine chalice. the only other one i found was french,, it had st john the baptist design. so cool to find... one of my fav things. good luck in the new year!
As always great video like yourself I’m in the hobby for the historical factor not the financial side and in two minds weather to hand a good find over as you mentioned takes years and just goes missing glad your mastering the deus 2 it is a great machine keep them coming and all the best for 2024 shaune in Kent 👍
Thanks Shaune and happy new year to you! Hope all well!
Yes man pas had m🎉right over
Really DM, what happened?
I would like to hear more about what you think about flo's as I've heard mine has bean done over stealing finds and selling them . I'm very cautious about taking my finds 👍
Super Christmas hunt Alex!!! Some beautiful finds to wind down the year!! Looking forward to your incredible treasures in year to come!!! Happy Holidays Alex!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
You too Ray and thanks for the support this year its been much appreciated! 😁
