500 Year Old Settlement? My Butt!! (36)

[@DiggingCanuck]

Don't know why, but that Rays Of Sunshine clip was a tear jerker for me.....geez...KEEP IT UP DAN - STAY STRONG

[@clayguy1]

As a sculptor myself.. I really admired that relief sculpture you showed... whoever did that, it was very well done.. the figures were proportionally correct and all.. fantastic. I thought it looked like art from the 20s or 30s by it's look... but what the hell do I know

[@CatalinaThePirate]

Nice museum and walk - I love old tools, so that exhibit in the museum really hit my spot. And walking around in the wonderful outdoors is GREAT! Thanks so much for all the work you do, Dan. You are a gem! And thanks too to John, Michelle, and Dasher, for taking care of Dan. Awesome! As always, GL&HH, and please travel safe! d8^)

[@brianstonerock3328]

you have done a great thing helping the kids from rays of sunshine

[@metalyn]

If you hadn't been there, that duck story would go unreported...lol. Love your videos!

[@Grinder-one]

Absolutely.

[@whiteoutplays6322]

my best memory was during winter and it was around Christmas I got my laptop and a metal detector so I typed in metal detector and deep digger Dan popped up so I grabbed a bag of deritos and watch a lot of the videos in the dark (this was 3 years ago)

[@jessloo5969]

That walk was beautiful, what a sight! Loved this one! You're a funny guy Dan.

[@FRISKY_MANDINGO]

I think this video is my favorite video of yours. The whole thing with the birds was hilarious. It just reminded me of your old hiking videos.

[@benbroekhuis8778]

I was VERY excited to see the carpenter's tools! the chisels are awesome! :)

[@docholliday5439]

Nothing beats a good chisel !

[@johnmann7502]

hey dan ,well once again another great video and proof of what a diamond you really are . is been a great pleasure to have you stay with us ,dasher has been looking for you since you left !! keep up the great work ..be safe and keep in touch buddy .x

[@ienvy-rainn6190]

Just went to my local museum and saw toys that I used to have when I was young. Feeling old

[@CplSkiUSMC]

To borrow the expression from the 1960s, "I dig the coast, man!" Ha! There's more than one meaning to "digging" the coast. That Tudor settlement was amazing! Amazing!! They lived in a big bath tub! I'll bet they ate seafood dinner every night. As you bypass the mud flats, maybe you could take us to the pub for a beer and have a talk with some locals.

[@GiannaRose]

Dan, I love the forts and the museums. I am learning so much from your adventures. Thanks for what you are doing for the children. Love from Florida!

[@pamandjohnmc]

Hi Dan... some years ago my wife and I hiked 2 miles in the Rocky Mountains to see a ghost town, when we got there, all that was left was two squares made of rotten logs, nothing else. It was a nice walk and the mountains were pretty, sorta like that island. Love your videos.

[@denisesmith6547]

This museum is amazing!!!!! I also found your clip this time very touching. You're doing a very good thing here Dan. Keep 'em coming love!

[@dougc.3497]

Maybe you could show some of the local boozers (pubs) or at least the exterior of them. Maybe toss in a few chip shops. Thanks Dan for the great work!

[@docholliday5439]

Dan, I just LOVE your new 365 hand signals! Your the Man!

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

Hopefully you will find many friends on your journey who can help you Dan, there are many lovely people in this world. Take care my friend, good luck and happy hunting Mary-Ellen

[@chuckvanderbildt]

It's a great thing you're doing, Dan. I wish you well on your endeavor.

[@jessefuller2012]

that's it, me and my wife agree!! Dan you need your own TV show!! keep up the good work.

[@MrTreasureHunter]

Another pure and natural viddy Dan keep up the great work And Dig Deep Dan "Get in"

[@davidhartl4013]

Holy cow what an awesome settlement that was! I can totally imagine how it must have looked like back in the days with their indoors pool and all......... Doing great Dan! Keep it up! :)

[@kennethwilson7839]

the bird attacked is a seagull.Thanks for sharing the museums and history besides metal detecting.Fantastic,Thanks

[@thechrissyb]

Haha the mound is just on the side of east Mersea road, you drive right past it. Right near where the traction engine flattened the bus last year.

[@tracyjamestavares3255]

No mater where ya go , its fun when ya take us with ya . Thankx Dr Dan ! , we luv ya

[@renegadebt1374]

That was a great video Dan, Thank you.. As RoundBushSteve said Awesome "365" hand signals... Have fun with it..

[@silverrain7466]

A great vid again Dan and I love your commentary about everything you see, please keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

[@joebrown1382]

I've watched every episode of History Channel Vikings & Essex & Mercea have been visited by the Vikings. Cool to hear the names now.

[@Claret1882]

It sounds like you keep saying 'mudflaps' Dan hahaha

[@Neily713]

Great video Dan, good luck on your travels.

[@beardigger3779]

Come on people if you have not donated so far, lets dig in a little deeper and put Dan over the top! 💷💷💷💷👍👍

[@chaveschut969]

I really like the ending of this video...thanks Dan again for making my day awesome.

[@docholliday5439]

@ 8:26- there is a face between the two sticks on the left! It's a side profile looking to the right.

[@WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

Lmao, you certainly have a great attitude and sense of humour. Loved the hat rim comment. Take care Rob

[@5against4]

Had a Tudor in school once...didn't help..;)GL&HH

[@billybob1151]

As always, another great video. Keep em coming!

[@christophernevils4093]

Your doing amazing job for a good cause👍🏻 keep up the good work, your buddy Chris in Wyoming, USA👍🏻

[@Chase19898]

Appreciate you showing us the museums, I would think that if you are into metal detecting and history, you'd also like that. Keep it up, will certainly donate again next month (October)!

[@johnboy384]

Love your work Dan, God Bless.

[@anderzz85]

hahaha really enjoyed this video man, great stuff. keep it up

[@56Axis]

what a great video, Dan!! You had me in stitches..you're so funny. You rock!! :)

[@LokiCramer]

Keep it up dan!

[@thatsamshow]

You've spent so long near water that your pinpointer is turning into a duck (1:22). They love a bit of water.

[@ConjahConj]

Keep it up Dan, you're a legend.

[@mcgaugh57]

I'm a Carpenter with 40 years experience and I love hammers and chisels :)

[@EaskyOverAndOut]

Then You Should Get A Grip ;)

[@mcgaugh57]

anonymous sender stalker much ?

[@ironpirate8]

Hammers, you can't beat them... :)

[@thomascampbell5755]

Great video Dan , thank you. If you can , take a damp cloth and wipe down the felt brim of your hat and allow to dry in the shape you desire , it will make the brim stiffer again.

[@jordanferguson3667]

I Think It's Awesome What Your Doing your Videos Are Entertaining and inspiring Thank You! I'll be sure to donate what I can when I can.

[@justahappygardener]

Hi Dan - it's pronounced mer see - sez my brother who lives down there :) great vids and I'm looking forward to you coming up to my neck of the woods - Inverness to Elgin Scotland

[@erho2967]

Thank you Dan!

[@MetalfinderDave]

I think Dan with all the history around there you should try and get a field to detect on, you never know what you might find

[@normsmowers4758]

brilliant Dan your videos are amazing

[@paulwarren6005]

Hang in there it's going to get better!

[@joebrown1382]

In the US you can detect on any public property unless it's a historic monument. If it's private land just be kind & ask the owner, 99% will say go for it. All beaches go for it.

[@yellowboy1866]

Thanks for your efforts to keep us all entertained, Dan. Pity about them black berrys heaps of them, they make good jam for ya hot buttered toast also nice wine or a black berry pie. Yummy. May be tell us the medicinal properties of the wild nettles, just a suggestion, thanks again. Regards From the kiwi down under.

[@hardyakka6200]

goodness me what a dismal place. looking foreward to Cornwall with you hanging off cliffs detecting.

[@ss_grenadier_yager1712]

have u been to Alderton and down the road towards Bawdsey then turn left past the vintage car garage towards the pow. camp

[@vanveen8472]

lack of blackberries causes memory loss, lose track of days and a host of other ailments, you should try some Dan then maybe you could remember what day it is for more than a hout

[@thomasbarker9434]

Keep it up Dan I enjoy watching your videos. Have you considered auctioning off the "rubbish" that you find at the end of each video? I think some of us viewers would be interested in purchasing buttons or coins that comes with a brief bit of documentation.

[@RelicRangers]

Great job!

[@colski222]

Good video Dan yet again ;-)

I love blackberries, that had me salvating. Shame they will be left to rot. Those were huge as well. Id eat till I got berrifull. Im a bit of a tool addict also and have every tool ever made by man. Dan dont hate me...:-)

[@zulucenturion6640]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, those things were absolutely huge. Around here they aren't nearly as big.

[@piperlynne1]

Another great video!

[@CookingWithCows]

You could get a hand powered washing machine, or maybe your caravan could power a camping washing machine

[@CookingWithCows]

I just did a google search for camping washing machine and found one for as low as 50€, that's better than buying 50 shirts from charity shops and then throwing them away I guess

[@paulhowie3761]

born comedian, great video Dan !

[@espenjohansen8074]

someone should foundraise some mud-detecting equipment for you so you have something for the rest of your trip!

[@thunderchild1355]

Please Dan for the love of god, Start doing a wildlife series like David Attenborough!!

[@timarcher5141]

Great vid Dan. How about a Deep Fried Dan on the beach with one of those cheap disposable BBQ's ?

[@docholliday5439]

I agree! Deep Fried Dan on the beach would make a Great video ! :- }

[@Marvcohen]

I always wanted to visit a swan hole

[@justindenmark9591]

clever work my friend lol

[@docholliday5439]

Dan, You need to do a Deep Fried Dan video just to break up the same old routine ! "Come on" it would be Great!

[@etheromlet]

he reminds me of the guy from Water World. the "not for sale" guy.

[@docholliday5439]

@ 18:17-It tough being a bird! :'(

[@vladm7246]

You look so Australian in that hat and jacket. I know there's probably not much history to detect here ( if any at all) but it would be great to see you down under. We have plenty of snakes and spiders to poke and you can hire a kangaroo for transportation. Much cheaper and more efficient than our public transport.

[@docholliday5439]

@ 4:59-Museum Time With Deep Digger Dan ! :- }

[@TheMrpiggyboy]

You don't do art, paintings, books. But you like sculpture. So you are not the heathen you make out to be. you're so funny.

[@workwithnature]

You make your videos fun to watch. Good job. Wow those are nice clay bottles. Most don't know but the other reason they are the shape they are, is because it is less likely for bacteria to prosper. The reason there are no corners in that shape. They copied nature, just look at an egg. Ever wonder why the egg does not go off even though it is under a hen at 35c all day long for weeks or why you can store them outside a fridge. The new chick would die from food poisoning if nature did not design it like that. They found seeds in 1000 year old clay pots with that shape and they still germinated all them years later. People were smart back then and they did not even know it. Museum was fun to watch. People still make cob houses. Devon has some 300 years old ones.

[@484848474]

I can't imagine a hen laying an egg with corners........ouch!

[@workwithnature]

Ha that too :)

[@SKYLANDBAK]

Oh, because they knew all about bacteria 2000 years ago..?!?!?

[@soniak9135]

7 WIshes will come true Dan!!!!! well done.....thanks for the videos, you make me laugh!

[@docholliday5439]

@ 16:44 The Swan Hole! GET IN!!!

[@triac777]

The Swan Hole..... it kind of sounds a bit rancid, like some decedent back alley bar.

[@docholliday5439]

+Lars Sounds more like a bordello to me !

[@docholliday5439]

The only thing left of the settlement is there indoor swimming pool ! LOL.... ;- {

[@modestadventurers]

I don't know about you guys, maybe I'm a bit sad but I need closure on #duckgate.

[@locouk]

Mr and Mrs Swanie MacSwanface? I've seen you eating and cooking fruit in Deep Fried Dan, chillis must be one of the few fruits you're into. HH..

[@jlander9940]

Thank you Dan. You made me laugh with this one and I needed that today. The Tudor settlement , well,,,, it was Rubbish .

[@LlamaMonster]

I get excited over hammers and chisels.

[@theyetti8811]

is this the place where that bloke sang about fairies?

[@amysherriff8858]

Cool cool cool!

[@whiteelephantvideos5074]

congrats dan 10%

[@MUDSWAT]

I think you're going to run out of coast. XD !

[@docholliday5439]

Dan I love blackberries ! Especially on my pancakes !

[@hkja99]

Meet the Viking land

[@DanielSirbuChicago]

What's tranquil??

[@johnmoreland8706]

put clip of rays every days...

[@sharonleaderfam4273]

you should have picked the berries and took them back to your friends. i bet they are delicious.

[@hkja99]

Dan, come to Denmark?

[@dbabyzo]

meat n potato pie!! ....and beer!

[@silverrain7466]

I have never had a meat n potato pie but it sounds good but I have had beer.

[@TheRealSasquatch]

Strictly speaking a shepherds pie is made with lamb & a cottage pie is made with beef, typically ground (or minced), both in a gravy (with or without vegetables) and a potato topping. The meat and potato pie Dan is referring to actually has a pastry case containing a meat and potato mix.

[@TheRealSasquatch]

true - that's why i said meat ;) Have to admit meatballs just don't taste the same after the horse meat scandal ;)

[@docholliday5439]

@ 18:54- The life of a Island Cow ! :-\

[@25242824]

that museum was noisy, those people were a bit rude being that loud in a museum, didnt it even occur to them that they were being overly noisy

[@AmberWaves444]

ahhhh, but you don't love art, books or fruit! lol.

[@dharmaqueen]

Certain types of paper I'd rather eat!!

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

i love english blackberries

[@round51]

I would say, "just another brick in the wall," but their probable laying in a case and 3D's just turning tricks on us... : O How could you do such a thing 3D! ; ) But at least you do do bricks. Wait was that poetry? LOL Nah
