Charles 1st hammered and Saxon find. Metal Detecting Shropshire UK

[@pondguru]

Great finds , man and you gotta love the way that hammered came up in all it's glory. The lead weight isn't a palm guard as they are flat to fit in your palm. Looks more like a loom weight which would have been used on cloth manufacturing machines back in the day. Groovy site you have there, nice one. GL&HH

[@RICHBISS]

Thanks Richard. I get a huge buzz when I get something like that. I was trembling. How good is this hobby, or is it a sport? lol. Good info on the weight will look that up. Why in a field though lol. The digging was great as the soil had been fluffed up nicely before sowing. I was actually very chuffed with the saxon stirrup strap as it makes you wonder what the hell happened there back in time. Your comment much appreciated as usual. Rich.

[@pondguru]

RICHBISS . I normally just tell people that in the UK all sorts of stuff happened all over the place for a very long time and that's why there's so much in our fields, lol

[@Metal4Detecting]

Wow awesome finds . Congratulations on the hammered coin . Best wishes and continued luck.

[@RICHBISS]

Thanks Joshua. I have not found many hammered. I think thats 3 now so it's an amzing feeling when I find one. Many thanks for your comment, much appreciated, Rich.

[@RICHBISS]

Hey Rob, thanks dude. It's only about 15 miles trip so not too bad. Your right though, the state of some of them why does it matter lol. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated as always. Rich.

[@nigelw7092]

Looks like youve got a good field there, some nice stuff coming out. Love how the spoon gets reffered to as a Dave! GL&HH.

[@RICHBISS]

LOL I think Dave RHS finds a lot of spoons so everyone always mentions him when they find one. Many thanks for your comment, Rich.

[@LMSmetaldetecting]

[@booeddie100]

Hi Rich, Great video and some nice finds, nice Charles 1st hammered and trade tokens, in competition with R.H.S with your musket balls, liked your quip about Dunbarton foreshore, all the best, Regards Rich GL&HH.

[@RICHBISS]

Hey Rich, thanks for your kind comment. Yeah strange finding that many musket balls in one small field. Dave RHS would always win a musket ball hunt, great guy. Need to get on there and do the rest of that field before they sow it. All the best, Rich.

[@RICHBISS]

Nice to meet you yesterday at the wedding Rich. Strange meeting up with one of your subscribers on youtube. Have to get out in the fields sometime buddy.. Rich

[@tempestfugit64]

Hi rich good few finds made well done in the hammie. GL HH

[@RICHBISS]

Thanks Mark. Yeah it was a good array of finds from that field and easy digging as it had been just fluffed up a bit before sowing. Many thanks for your comment. Much appreciated as always. Rich

[@Supradrew]

Hi Rich. Nice Digs. I'm kind of leaning towards that being a Thimble. But I don't claim to be an expert, lol. Congrats on your Hammered. ttyl -Drew

[@RICHBISS]

Cheers Drew. Many thanks for your comment as always, much appreciated dude. Just got out the shower and off to bed, wots happening with these stolen videos I just noticed.....how strange! Rich

[@Supradrew]

RICHBISS . We're all mobilizing to have these videos removed from this person site. I'll let you know. -Drew

[@ashenaya]

Flipping brilliant rich, Saxon and hammered! And you reckoned you need help to find it? Lol.. Great stuff mate

[@RICHBISS]

LOL Cheers Ian. Well it was a decent hunt I guess. Looks like a good field. Just need to get on again now to finish it off before they sow it. Great comment and much appreciated as always. Rich.

[@DSinfinite]

17:12 found one of those a few hunts back however mine had an X on the back and was dated 16th-18th century from Kent funny thing is I live in Wales. anyway nice hunt, Gl + HH

[@davidhopper1087]

Looks like theres been a bit of action on that field the amount of musket balls.You finding some old interesting items that buckle lovely and a hammy Canny hunt.Your machine doesn't half get great depth looked like that buckle as 14 inch. nice one Dave

[@RICHBISS]

Cheers Dave, yeah you start thinking in your mind, what actually happened here in the past. That's 1000 years of history I have dug up there with a good array of finds. Buckle was not 14 inch lol, only thing I have ever dug from that depth is a huge plough part lol. Many thanks for your comment, much appreciated as always. All the best, Rich.

[@tomembleton8336]

good field that ,go again

[@Timetraveller2208]

You had some very nice finds mate! Had to smile when you kept on finding those musket balls... I found 7 in a wood the other day ;-). Hope you mind me asking a question... A few years ago I found a curious little coin. It has 12 sides with rounded edges with a faint impression of a monarch with a crown facing left, with a 'G' equidistant from the front point of the crown to the middle. On the reverse is what appears to be a 'shield?? BUT the bottom corners look slightly like an old wheat sack. The top is straight with a line in the outside and almost central (no writing either - too worn maybe). dimensions are: 22m dia and 1mm thick. finally, the portrait looks both like Elizabeth I and Charles I. I could always send magnified photo's by email if needed. If you or any other detectorists can help, I'd be very grateful. I do have a feeling that it's shape might have been modified hence no text around it????. Glen - Doncaster

[@detectordave2094]

I am looking for experienced Role Players in the Shrewsbury area for a 1st lvl. D&D campaign. If you're interested, or know anyone who is; reply here and we'll sort something out.

[@ThatSwedishGuy]

Can I ask u a question Rich? On your videos u always have a perfect thumbnail, when I upload my clips I just get 3 options and they are all crap, what's the secret? Am new to youtubing, but pls check out my vids if u have time

[@RICHBISS]

Hi Per When your video is uploading you will see a pic of the three thumbnails. Below that is says something like custom thumbnail. If you click on that you can load a pic from your pc. I think it has to be 2mb or below. Hope that helps. If you are still stuck send me another message. Rich.

[@ThatSwedishGuy]

cheers rich, I didn't have that "custom thumbnail" button, but I verified my account now and got it, cheers!

[@RICHBISS]

Nice one Per. You can now take a pic of one of your finds to use as your thumbnail. Cool.
