Hi Great vid as always Alexander. Can you put your settings on your next vid please mate. I have looked in your catalog of vids and can’t see them. Tia Mick

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I am a bit reluctant Mick - I don't consider myself an expert on it yet and as I don't like the sparkiness and volume of how most people use it I only really run it on "half power" I use Sensitive full tones on No discrimination - Reactivity no lower than 2.5 and audio reponse at 3... Don't blame me if you dont find anything and hope all well!

[@mickrepairscars9004]

@@HolzHammerSagas I would never blame anyone for help mate, good or bad. I will give it a try next time out and let you know the results. Thanks Mick

Wonderful coins, my first hammered was an Elizabeth half groat, London mint. I found it on an organised dig at Banningham in Norfolk. I had only been detecting 3 months, this was early last year. Since then i have 38 coins largely from my permission N Norfolk. No hammer's, lots of George 3rd and just yesterday my first signal on a new field, an 1865 Victoria bunhead...Loving my hobby and I'm new to your channel, I'll keep watching, thank you,, Kirk ,Norwich

I think the first milled coins are under Elizabeth 1, 1561 if I remember correctly. I have a lovely milled Elizabeth from 1562. That Charles though! Beautiful, another great watch Alexander.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I didn't know that previously but i do mention Elizabeth I milled coinage back at HQ in this video - you obviously fast forwarded that bit 😂 - I don't blame you theres a lot to get through in most people's metal detecting videos on KZbin but do try to edit fairly ruthlessly!
