Metal Detecting Germany Nr.7 Roman Minims and Silver!!

[@johnnysachu9020]

Hans, Johann K, here, I can't help but wonder over the diversity of finds in this field, with all the Roman finds, the various artifacts, the coins, how well used and populated this spot must have been through the ages, that it might be wise to ask the owner, at some future date, if you can detect around the buildings on his land. This settlement and all the people through the years must have been in the same general housing/building locations. I'm certain you could discover some very interesting finds nearby. You may already have considered this so just let me say, It's just an idea. I am so amazed, though, at all the different kinds of things you are finding here. Good luck my friend.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

+Johnny Sachu these fields cover almost the whole range of german history! as you said the people of the different times always looked for the same environmental features. that's why you can find so much stuff in that area! the area around the farmers house is interesting but i didn't find much there as yet. thank you for watching my friend! all the best, hans

[@finding_mojo]

Hey Hans, love your generosity in the way you involve us like we are there. That takes planning and effort but its appreciated. I noticed when you show your palm that you have a square on the mount under your index finger. it means a leader or teacher. Check it out. :)

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you for watching and for appreciating my videos. I'm happy to hear you like them :) haha. . that sounds interesting. I will indeed check that. greetings from germany, hans

[@j.lietka9406]

Even 7 years ago, the skull ring (Schadel ring?) find is exciting!

[@teedlebomb1]

Fascinating. Thank you from America!

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you for watching my friend :)

[@bumpy9024]

Hello from Washington State! Still catching up on your videos !! I really enjoy watching how excited you are when you find something! I get excited too. You do a fantastic job with your videos. Thank you for that. And thank you for telling us about your finds. This video has extra special finds!! From a modern scull silver ring to Roman silver!! Thank you again for all you do!!’

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

I'm happy you like my videos :) thank you for watching them and for your kind comments. I appreciate your support :)

[@gregkerr725]

Hans, I'm a more recent subscriber of yours going through some of your earlier videos. You made some comments in this one that struck to the core why I like watching detecting videos. When I find or see something old, I too find my mind wondering at the items history....who held it....who used it etc. I've always been that way. When traveling I love to look at the landscape and wonder at how it has changed over the years. Here in the States I'm constantly looking around and wondering what things looked like before Europeans came to this land. I see barriers like rivers and streams and ponder how people dealt with crossing those barriers prior to civilization and bridges becoming common. I know that even the vegetation here in the States has greatly changed over the last 500 yrs. No Chestnut or Elm trees any more and those two species are said to have comprised at least 30% of the trees when Europeans first came here. When I lived in your country for a few years when my Dad was stationed there in the Army my eyes were constantly wandering and my imagination working overtime. There is so much history over there as you know by finding coins going back thousands of years. Every year my Dad got thirty days leave and our family would pack up our car and go on marathon camping trips around Europe in which we mainly focused on immersing ourselves in the history of Europe and it's peoples (afterall, our own ancestors came from Europe, mine being Scotland on my Dad's side and German and French Canadian on my Mom's side). In our current generation we like to feel we are somehow more advanced in our thinking and civilization than those of previous generations...especially those of thousands of years ago like the Romans whose coins you find. Yet that Roman had to carry coins around to buy things just like we do today. He had the same stresses of having to earn those coins and make his way in life just like we do as well. I think at the heart of things people are people and not much changed over the years...just changed circumstances is all. Sorry to ramble on here, but I think you do a wonderful job with your videos and it is nice to see I'm not alone out there in the way my mind works and what interests me. Thanks again and good luck hunting!

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Greg Kerr hello greg :) thank you for your kind comment! i'm happy to hear that you understand me and what i'm feeling when finding these coins and relics! i don't take it for granted and i will never get used to it. every time i find ancient things a door to a long gone time opens and i feel a connection that deeply moves me! your thoughts about the original vegitation of the land are very familiar to me. . .i would love to see how the german woods looked like when the first roman troops came here. . .it was a vast jungle of oakes and beeches. . . thank you for watching and appreciating my videos!!! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@tonilauge5786]

Hans, you never cease to amaze me with your finds and such good clear photography Keep them coming .

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

+tom proctor thank you my friend, I'm happy to hear that :) thank you for watching! hans

[@adamdziuban]

Nice polish coin. I like that coins very much. Greetings from Poland :)

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

It was great to see you find a silver coin, the ring is very creepy. The fields where you detect are amazing, I love the woods and forest but I should imagine you need to have a change of scenery. Take care Hans, good luck 🍀and happy hunting Mary-Ellen 🙋👍

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you for watching this video as well mary-ellen. . I'm glad you like it :) I hope to be able to detect the forest soon again! all the best, hans

[@wornboots11]

Thank You Hans, yes, I feel the same way when I find something old. I wonder about the history of it and who had it before me, very interesting, love your finds.

[@TheMrJPgo]

Love the Roman coin!! Its in great shape! Cant wait to find my own someday

[@VonnCrit]

Fantastic finds! Once again. Keep it up!!

[@SpinifexLeftHand]

I think what happens Hans is that people inadvertently pull off their rings when removing their gloves. The irony is that the finder also removes his gloves to retrieve it!

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

I can imagine that! that's most likely the way it happens. thank you for watching!

[@petedetects7012]

I've experienced this phenomenon first hand. I've been lucky to find many rings metal detecting and for fear of loosing them I place them on my fingers when they fit . I was done with my hunt and as I was removing my glove a 8gram wedding band I found ended up in my glove . Strangely enough the ring actually fit . Not to loose. I then realized perhaps most of the rings I find a similar occurrence happened to them when the gloves were being removed.

[@lenwenzel7440]

Gorgeous ring, would love it. Rubies in the eyes would be way cool.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

it's an interesting find. thank you for watching!

[@davidhopper1087]

My first watch of your video's after watching your vonncrit interview. Great field and finds, enjoyable video . nice one gl hh dave

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

[@uhfnutbar1]

[@frogman319]

I just watched all of your videos. Great job and amazing finds. Keep it up! :)

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Thank you for your comment! i'm pleased to hear that you like them! HH!

[@pinkpig8660]

Ring is amazing, bravo ...

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

glad you like the ring! thank you for watching! all the best, hans

[@leelongshank1785]

another great video, I enjoyed it much, the ring is a good find, but a bit spooky, I think you are correct in thinking that you have found a fragment of bell, I found a similar piece this sunday . it could be some age. any luck with medieval hammered ? my fingers are crossed for your search. oh yes, your mushroom search video was great. I

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you so mouch! i't means a lot for me to hear that you enjoy my vids!! i didn't expect the mushroom to be so much liked. . .still not found medieval coinage but thank you for your crossed fingers! you will be the first to know when i have found one! :) HH&GL to you!!

[@JumpnJiver]

Mich erinnerte der Ring im ersten Moment sofort an die münzen aus dem Film fluch der Karibik. Der Totenkopf sieht sehr aztekisch aus.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you :) isn't that ring a strange find!? i think it was lost by a field worker. . .sometimes it's hard for me to understand how things make their way on the fields. . .

[@VonnCrit]

You can say that again. Its crazy to find something and have no idea how it got there. Great seeing you out! Keep it up!

[@brentwest9977]

the ring looks like a waffen ss skull ring from ww2 none of them are exactly the same and that i belive is due to most of them being specialy individuly crafted for each SS member. that one has a crown which may be due to some significants sybolizing power or high rank of some sort.

[@brentwest9977]

even cooler the owners initials are usualy inscribed on the inside of the band especialy if they were a higher ranking ss

[@getin3949]

The silver ring is a very common item in the US, I have one myself only I chose stainless steel because it won't bend or tarnish.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

get in some field worker must have lost it. . .it's quite modern. . .but it's silver :)

[@aumetalmental8403]

Love that ring.🤗 Have you ever had occasion to sell your finds? Lots of detectorists in US do all the time. Or raffle finds off too viewers.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

it is a nice and unexpected find :) I would never sell the finds I make. especially the substantial ancient finds I hand over to the department of archaeology. I haven't got monetary or material interests when it comes to my hobby. thank you for watching!

[@chrisgork3694]

Hallo Hans, ich hab mir jetzt fast alle deiner Sondelvideos angeguckt und bin echt beeindruckt! Echt tolle Funde, die du gemacht hast und sehr interessant gemacht!!! Wie kriegst du eigentlich so Münzen, wie den sehr verdreckten Kreuzer, wieder so sauber? Freu mich schon auf 's neuste Video! LG Chris GH

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

+Chris Görk hallo chris, schön! danke fürs anschauen :) es freut ich, dass dir meine videos und die funde gefallen! für silber kann man askorbinsäure nehmen, die ist sogar schonender als zitronensäure. hartnäckige stellen kannst du mit einem zahnstocher bearbeiten. danke für deinen netten kommentar! LG, hans

[@chrisgork3694]

+TerraGermania Hallo Hans, danke für die schnelle Antwort :) Nimmst du bei Kupfer- bzw. Bronzemünzen auch Zitronensäure? Ich habs bislang mit Wasser und anschließend Sonnenblumenöl probiert, bin aber noch nicht zu 100% zufrieden. .. Lg Chris

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

bei kupfermünzen, die keine historische bedeutung haben, wie z.b. pfennige ab ca. 1875 kannst du ruhig mal natron nehmen. reibe die münzen vorsichtig zwischen den fingern. . .aber pass auf, dass du die patina nicht abrubbelst. antike münzen spüle ich nur mit wasser ab und gebe sie den experten. LG, hans

[@Azphreal]

I am not sure that is a dog tag due to the decoration around the edge (never seen one with decoration),it looks like the decoration (dots) on some UK coins so i wonder if its a coin used as a necklace.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Azphreal hello azphreal :) it is one. . on the backside are exact details of the dogs owner and his address. . .i didn't show it in order to protect the owners privacy :) thank you for watching and commenting!!! all the best, hans

[@timothyreheht6485]

Wärs nicht so" billig" verarbeitet (ausgefüllt etc) könnte der Ring auch gut in den Barock passen. Auf jeden Fall ein toller Fund. :)

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Addi hallo addi! wirklich? barock? interessant! wusste gar nicht, dass es sowas im barock gab! ja, ein toller fund. . ich weiß noch wie ich mich über den ring gefreut habe! danke für deinen besuch und für deinen kommentar! LG und frohe weihnachten! hans

[@timothyreheht6485]

Das waren en damals "Heavy Opern Fans". :D

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

lol!

[@johnpappas5155]

Terra I am trying to figure out from your captured artifacts was that field a passage way camp site meeting place trading post with all of the different artifacts. Was the American money found from the 40s? If modern us coins what would the Gis be doing in that farmers field.??????

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

we had a lot of american soldiers in germany after ww2. the coin can only be from one of them. I also keep finding us tent pegs on the field. I think they could have camped there in the past.

[@johnpappas5155]

That makes sence Terra.I think you will find your gold coins some day. I find alot of silver coins here. Alot of clad as well.Your spear was a great find. I mostly dig with an old ww2 Kay Bar knife. Im getting too old for that I guess i must go to the shovel .

[@rachaelxcolleen]

So...what’s the protocol when you find dog tags? I mean....I wonder if there’s a way to see what it says with a special microscope or whatever. Like when they bring back the serial numbers on a gun that have been purposely scratched off? I dunno. That would bug the crap out of me not knowing lol I’d be sitting there thinking this dude has been KIA and not officially “found” since WWII and you could finally give a family long awaited closure 🙂 I wonder how often that happens... Also, that ring is awesome lol I just picture some poor goth kid walking through the field and didn’t notice when it dropped lol

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

I've only once found a dog tag in finland during an official excavation. the head archaeologist took care of it and reported the finding and the number to the department of war victims. I would do the same If I did find a dog tag here in germany. haha.. the ring is definitely from a rocker or something :D thank you for watching!

[@ValleyOakPaper]

I think the dog tag find in this video was a dog tax tag, not a soldier's ID tag. So not as CSI-worthy.

[@natrone23]

The skull ring seemed liked it had a crown, Doesn't look like an SS rings. Maybe from the last 30 years?

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

natrone23 hello natrone23 :) thank you for watching and commenting! i don't think that it is a ss ring too! i had a few comments with guesses that it could be one but the ones i saw in the internet looked different. all the best, hans

[@pixiepqueen]

I think I saw another coin there in the dirt when you dug up that Polish coin

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

really? haha. . well I find it next time ;)

[@luisalain84]

you are so good

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Luis Alain hello luis! thank you for watching and for you kind comment! i'm glad you like what i do! all the best, hans

[@stephen-truthseeker]

The silver skull ring is a bit odd finding that in the middle of a farmers field? I mean you don't really lose a large ring like that on dry land? Unless you throw it away? I agree with some other comments it could be from WW2 the death head skull was often worn by SS officer.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Stephen Bamber i agree with you. . it's strange! i looked up ss- skull rings in the internet and they look different. . maybe some farm worker lost it. . they are weeding the land manually as it is an organic farm.. only a guess. . thank you for watching!!

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

the minum looks like a constantine minum there were several types the one you have here is with the single roman standard flanked by 2 soldiers on the back in another video of yours i have seen the one with 2 roman standards on the back there is also one with 3 standards then there's one with a laural circular reef with an X in the middle (commemorating 10 years of reign of constantine 316 AD you found this one in a previous vid) all of your roman coin finds date from the 3rd and 4th centuries the coin here dates between 306 and 337 AD

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you for you helpful comment! It was a time when I didn't have useful literature ;) thank you for watching!

[@blue2isle]

That ring belongs to The Phantom :-O

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

so I have to thank the phantom for his gift ;)

[@klaasomega1]

Nice movie best regards Joop Visser from Holland. I do my hobby metal detecting almost 45 years.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

JOOP VISSER hello joop! thank you, i'm glad you like my video! that's quite some time :) i bet you've got an enviable collection of finds! thank you for watching my videos!!! all the best, GL&HH! hans

pozdrawiam Niemieckiego kolege

[@JumpnJiver]

Wie hast du die Münze bei 11.50 so sauber gekriegt?

[@timrogers2045]

The silver skull ring is a beauty, though I'd expect to see either the SS runes, and/ or the SS honour motto "meine Ehre heibt Treue" to be on it.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

many viewers told me that it could be a ww2 ss ring. . .but I checked how they look like in the internet and they are quite different. never the less, it's an exciting find. thank you for watching!

[@timrogers2045]

It is for sure Hans. It is the finds that cause us intrigue, that are often the ones that make our passion for metal detecting so pleasurable, I think.

[@thefuzzymango4000]

I thought that too but the SS skull rings dont have that crown on them. I got excited for a second because those rings are pretty rare to find in the field.

[@johnrogers2826]

What a tacky ring!

[@wmcbarker4155]

that ring looks a Nazi SS Officers ring
