Find of a Lifetime! Metal Detecting with Struck of Luck and a Shock

- In this episode I make a totally unexpected find in form of a stunning Roman artifact. Usually when I start metal detecting a narrow hiking trail, I have to set the bar very low. I expect to find trash, while slowly adjusting to the location.
After having touched a deep, round object I was convinced to dig the end part of a fence pole. I was literally shocked after realizing that the object in my hand was a Roman spear (head). From that moment on, each find felt like a bonus.
The area was modified, it felt already detected on top of that. I was able to make a few more finds here and there, but none of them corresponded to the first find from the Roman era (at least not the non ferrous ones).
I found a few buttons from 1700's and a pilgrimage medallion from the first half of the 1900's.
All in all, it was a memorable hunt with a shocking find. I hope you enjoyed it as well.
Thanks for watching.
UPDATE: If you want to see another spectacular Roman relic find, check out my recent video: • UNBELIEVABLE! Spectacu...
The only escape from everything, is an escape into nature with a detector...nothing better than that, beautiful!
The spearhead is not roman, but much older, probably late bronze age, leaf-shaped type. Romans and even Celtic tribes before them, used iron stuff, because it is far cheaper and superior to bronze (for weapons). Really nice find, probably lost spear tip. So cool!
Congratulations MD24 on your bronze spearhead. It is not Roman but older. I found one identical to it, and it was also buried point down in the ground. In addition, there was also a bronze ring and bronze casting waste with mine. It is a religious offering that you have found and dates 1500 to 900 BC. Also called a votive offering. You'll notice the spearhead is not pointed or even sharpened. It is Celtic, but I'm not 100% certain of which tribe. You might want to return and see if anything else was buried with the spearhead as part of the offering! Best wishes and happy digging, Dave.
FMF/MD24…my guess is it’s likely Treveri or Leuci Tribe if it’s Celtic..La Tene…possibly older into the Hallstatt Period. It’s a beautiful find….dish soap in distilled water and clean gently with a toothbrush…let that dark green see the light of day.
The Bronze casting waste was valuable in those days. If it was smooth then that would be signs of circulation as currency. Metal objects do not get smooth in the ground, they get scratched or bent but not smoothed.
All types of available metal were used as currency or wealth storage. Even very rough cast spillage was valuable. Crude bronze bullion finger rings were probably used as portable wealth and emergency currency. 👍
That spearhead is museum worthy, wow!
like your dig style get to see the work you have to do to get things out of the ground like the channel will return. Thank you,
Some really nice finds. I'm so glad to see you moving and climbing with ease after all the injuries. And I remember them all. Things are greening up in Germany! So glad to see another video of yours. Give the assistants my love.

Ja schöne Funde dabei .... LG
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu dieser tollen Speer/Lanzenspitze. Ich wünsche dir eine schöne, kommende Woche.
Liebe Grüße

Amazing spear head. Wow!
I think I would have canvassed the area around the spear point and called it quits for the day. You know it's not going to get any better than that. I'd go have a beer and brag.
Unbelievable, I can only hope that one day I'll be that lucky. Well done 👏
Wow that what i call a find👏👏. Nice bronze age spearhed, and looks like it's get lost like yesterday👍 very big congratulations to you 🙂
Wow...I loved this hunt! Im a beach hunter. South Africa fields are not safe sadly. Regards
I half think the spear head was so deep, and at a near vertical angle, because it had been thrust into the soil. Probably in anger, so hard that the tip come loose from the shaft. No matter the reason that it was lost, it is an exceptional find!
G'day again and great to watch you out detecting in the field again.
Great finds today.
Thank you.
Andy
Servus!
Spannendes Video, im wahrsten Sinn ein spitzen Fund!!
Es handelt sich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit um eine Lanzenspitze der späten Bronzezeit bzw. Urnenfelderzeit,
datiert ca. 1300-900 v. Chr. Wie im Vorfeld bereits angesprochen wahrscheinlich eine Votivgabe, also eine rituelle Hinterlegung.
Danke fürs Zeigen, gut Fund weiter, Grüße Troy
Great find on that spear tip.
Celtic bud I had 4 of these recently and they were all within 5 paces of each other. :) Where there is one there could be more !! Happy hunting buddy
What an amazing find,great detecting with you again today.
Fabulous find.
Excellent find
Live digs with no jabber 😮,???
My cuppa tea!! 👍
The spear point is what it is....A remarkable and unique find...!!! bottom line? It's ancient... Who cares if it's Celtic,Roman or whatever.... I'm not going there...🤔
Couldn't happen to a better Guy!!! Greetings from Florida... 😎
This is very much there!
That spear is an awesome find! Congrats! Truly is a once on a lifetime find, but the metal detecting gods are with you so other great Roman finds in your future.
Superb ! Hans "Terra Germania" once find similar spearhead, but little bit larger. Celts tribes.
Congrats on the spearhead. That’s awesome. Better than a handful of gold rings
That was a most spectacular find my Friend. One of the best artifacts I've seen you dig. So happy for you and the fact that you can now preserve it for many in the future to study and observe. Not to mention it's the best, most complete specimen I haver ever seen. (I'm in the US mind you) So awesome. ✌️😎
That was awesome! I can only imagine your excitement pulling an old spearpoint out of the ground.
This is a very nice find, there is a little damage, but very little.
That's what happens when you don't expect it at all.
Congratulation!

FAF. Frigging Amazing Find!!!
Up to your usual excellence well done 👍
Superb as always....thanks...nugget.
Are you sure that was a Roman/ancient spearhead??? Did you not see the "Detectoristss" Andy and Lance in England were celebrating finding a Roman spearhead when Andy, while cleaning it off and nearly soiling himself, glanced over at an iron fence and noticed the tip was broken off!! Funny as heck!! LOL I would never imagine they were that good at forging or crafting such a fine blade like that!! Awesome find, 24!!
Ok, I could not make it past that point where you found that point, to make a comment. OMG!!! And I can not stress that enough. Find of a lifetime and then some. A HUGE congrats....and I could tell by your reaction when you pulled it out of the hole, you about shit yourself in disbelief!
Well done!
Second time I stopped video. Was when you did close up. Such great shape. So awesome to see that come up for you. We'll done! Again!
Wow congrats!
Amazing find wow
You should dig more careful ! Esp when you have such a Deep ,Big Target! You could have easy destroyed or at least scrached it...
It made me cringe watching that mini pick being Chopped into the ground . Sooner or later it’ll destroy a great find
I have also pressed a coin 90° with my shovel. That can sometimes happen, nothing to do about it.
Super Nice 👍👍
Felicidades amigo!!!
I guess you could find bars of gold. That might be better than museum quality antiquities.
Wow
😊👍
💖💐💝👍🇹🇭 God bless...MD 24...😍😍😍
8:15 ciao bellissimo ritrovamento 🎉🎉🎉 che telecamera usi? Come si chiama il GPS che usi??
That's the top to a flag pole
46.39 min it can be fire-steel.
I'm happy you found Jesus again
sppear head is early bronze age 1500 b.c.
Not Roman. Middle to late bronze age.4,000 to2,500 years ago.
Yea I fell asleep watching this one,
I see that you've got some terrible, hard, rocky earth to dig in there....but...I've NEVER seen a serious relic hunter hack into the ground right on top of the signal like in this video. Are you not concerned with destroying whatever it is you're trying to dig up? .....I mean....wouldn't it make more sense to dig AROUND the artifact?
I don't get it. Just trying to wrap my mind around your technique.
Is this a genuine video? The metal detecting seemed very frantic and chaotic and also the reaction was...not realistic. Most detectorists would be screaming for joy
you need to slow your swinging down i heard so many targets in this vid you walked past em.
Bronze is probably older than the romans but it could also be a modern ornamental brass flag pole tip as well. I hope it's not modern! The lack of a pin hole to fasten it to the shaft and lack of corrosion around the edges make me a bit suspicious however the re-enforced mid rib mean it could be legit.
absolutely no way it could be modern! defenitly an antique item.
What is the rush with this guy? He gets a signal, drops to his knees and starts chopping away at the spot to find the "object" that set off the detector like it was the antidote for the poison he drank at the beginning of the video? Im calling BS on the large button coin find and the spearheaded thing?
It honestly drives me nuts hearing a detector that is over sensitive.
Couldn't do what you do.
Detector going off while you try to pinpoint...
No, just no.
Clearly his settings are rubbish ......
@@rosiemandy Apparently he handles his "rubbish" setting quite well since he seems to be able to find some remarkable relics.
@@larrygrove5649 I was being sarcastic in response to the previous post
Mega THNK!
