Hammered & Roman On The Medieval Permission - Metal Detecting In Dorset, UK

[@matthewbridgwood839]

Nice finds there 👍, The little acorn piece looks like an end fragment of a medieval strap end.

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Ah yes, I think you're right! Nice one 🙂👍

[@samwebb2516]

Nice one Tom. Big chunky roman. Faustina the younger I’m guessing?

[@kelvinpeterjohnsmith8725]

Seek and you will find!!! My mate lovely video Tom, bronze palstave to follow 😀 👍. All the best, Kelvin.

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

I hope so Kelvin mate 🤞 I won't give up looking 🤣

Hi Tom, the little acorn looking artefact at 11 mins into the video looks very much like a knop (finial) from the end of a spoon handle. I was researching a pewter spoon bowl I found the other day and saw something similar. Thanks for the videos by the way. Rich.

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Thanks Rich, someone else suggested it could be part of a strap end. After a bit of research it could be either 🤣 ill have to retrieve it from the shed and have another look lol thanks for watching mate 🙂👍

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

Great video mate, lovely big roman sestertius or dupondius of Fausta 👌. Well done mate 👍

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Thanks Dan, I rarely find them so it's awesome when they do appear 😁👍

Nice video nice finds especially the roman

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Thank you bud! 👍

[@Chiefcheifer]

Great video Tom mate, what a great place that is! Massive congratulations on that awesome Roman!! Good to see some more coins coming up 🎉🎉🎉

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Thanks bud, still a lot of history there no doubt! Congrats on your roman too 🙂👍

[@HOPEUSMAXIMUS]

Nice finds mate, well done.

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Cheers mate, it keeps turning up some interesting bits 👍

[@paulr6922]

That is good land.

[@bluecreekdetectors]

Whoooaaa. Imagine the people who had that roman coin in their pockets or purse. I wonder how much wore over the years in the ground or if 1,000,2,000 years ago if the sides were legible. Wow.... that is amazing man. Congrats!

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Thank you buddy, it really was a strange feeling. Cleaning it and holding it, then realising the last person to hold it was a 'roman' looking out over the same landscape, kind of eerie lol. Also found in the same field as the Celtic bronze stater, the Durotiges tribe that stater belonged to were known to have fought the invading Romans. Fascinating history being pieced together 🙂

[@richcolgate8929]

Hey bud,,, That’s a great permission u got there,,, grid it,,, go over it slow,,, There’s a lot there waiting for u,,,, Rich Metal detecting Wiltshire 👍👍

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Thanks mate, I cant wait to get back on that field when its been ploughed. Lots more fields have been cropped now so I can crack on, hopefully find some hot spots and get gridding 😃✌👍👍 Happy hunting

[@owainwilliams7993]

I have a funny feeling I’ve seen you on one of my permissions in Whitchurch

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Hi mate, Ive not been that far north so wouldn't have been me. Had to check Google maps to see where it was 🤣 I'm usually found in the fields of Dorset unless tempted by a group dig (rare these days) or invited some where else 👍🙂

[@owainwilliams7993]

@@TheDiggerofDorset my bad I mean Whitchurch canicorum bud I forgot there’s two lol

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

No worries, not been there either lol but looks a great place to detect 🙂

[@stewartevans9753]

I know exactly where that hill is and you didn't grow up in Dorset but great finds!

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Um, I did and thanks.. I think lol 🤣👍 (yep it's Colmer's Hill in Dorset)

[@stewartevans9753]

@@TheDiggerofDorset no Dorset accent though! Sorry 😔

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

@@stewartevans9753 haha no worries, yeah I never picked up the full Dorset twang.. might come out a bit more after a few ciders though 😆

[@stewartevans9753]

@@TheDiggerofDorset did you ever dig Netherbury?

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

No not been there, I would like to do more of west Dorset though

[@samwebb2516]

Just seen the id. I was right! I’ve found a couple but not as nice condition. My bucket list is a Bronze Age axe head or Saxon or a stater. Any will do.

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

Yep, was a nice coin! Bronze age axe head has been at the top of my list for awhile now. I have held a few and there is just something very special about them. Heading back out tomorrow to look for deeper targets with the Detech, fingers crossed 🤞

[@Diggers-dg4fo]

Wow beautiful where you live

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

I'm very lucky, the landscape is stunning 👌🙂

[@paulr6922]

Crucifix thing is a belt mount. Medieval of course.

[@TheDiggerofDorset]

I've found quite a few now from that field, must have been a common decoration 🙂
