Wow!! Toss the Romans - except that very small one, it's cute. It's the flint core that's taken the day. A dream find. The flakes off that could be knapped for virtually any job that required some finishing. Perhaps arrowheads for small game as well. Whoever lost that had to be mighty miffed. Core's all prepped, ready to go, a few flakes struck off, & where did it go? It's a beauty. Thanks again for another fine vid. Take your break, & see you when you're back.

[@PALM311]

Hi Alex, you certainly had a good day on the Romans! That’s a beautiful piece of flint. We find a lot of that sort of thing here in the United States. We find arrowheads spearpoints, all kinds of tools that Native Americans had used for thousands of years. It’s not unusual at all here to find arrowheads ,spear points, and such in the plowed fields and along the river’s. I have certainly found my fair share of arrowheads while detecting. what you may have is a chunk of flint that was carried not just to make one point out of but perhaps several. that chunk that you have would make several bird points and small animal projectiles. You were very fortunate to find that that is a great find and I’m happy for you I truly am. Give Tasci a scratch behind the ear for me. ~Paul

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Hi Paul - thats exactly what it is - i explained a bit about it when I goy back to HQ - its a metholithic "core" for exactly the purpose you stated... would love to find an arrowhead its top of my list! Hope all well over there and All the Best!

The usual great finds. Finding flints are nothing unusual in Texas and New Mexico. My family's ranch had a nice size hill we dubbed Flint Hill. My brother and I would roam around it looking for arrowheads. We are having a foul heat wave. It got to 106 today. 107 yesterday. Dogs got a bath as they were getting pretty stinky and they loved the clean feeling. I hope you have a wonderful holiday....after getting some business done.

💗💗Love your videos Ally ,how wonderful to find the flint for making tools and I wonder if nearby villagers are direct decendants of these ancient Ancestors..I once watched a programme on the people who live in Cheddar Gorge and they tested their DNA with some bones that were found in Cheddar caves and some matches were found !!! We often took our past dogs for a run up on the Ridgeway path here in Wiltshire and there are amazing large knuckles of flint everywhere I would collect a few pieces each time and decorate my garden..they do look,lovely when the rain had been on them..best wishes from XxxShaz &Terry and little Merlin..💗💗💗

Thanks for another wonderful video Alexander. Can I ask, the land you are on has seedlings in it and you said you are being careful, how do you assure the farmer you are going to be careful etc with his crops? The reason I ask is that if I take up metal detecting in future I imagine this is one of the first hurdles I should expect to come accross.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

You really do so little damage if any Andrew, but obviously if the farmer feels differently he will rightly bot let you... you should see what gets left behind after harvest; the odd seedling dug up by a detetctorist will make absolutely no difference! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander

[@JohnHF1957]

Hi Alexander. Another great day in the sunshine in that exceptional field. I think your Allectus reverse is "PAX AVG", so minted between 293 and 296 AD. and the mint mark looks like London. That Vespasian is great despite the worn reverse. In your size line up, the second to last one is mid to late 4th C and may be Valentinian II. The smallest one is late 4th C- 5th C but I can't find an obverse like it on Wildwinds, so it is very intriguing. Best of luck with the next adventure.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I thought it was intriguing to John though I think it might be barbarous which would explain it! I really like it though - unusual cross... for its age I think. Thanks as always for the brilliant research it is much appreciated! Hope all well down there and All the Best, Alexander

[@leonardgreenfield1462]

The core is mesolithic and blades (flakes at least 2x longer than their width) removed from it were used as raw material to make tiny blade tools - microliths. The previous industrial period was the upper Paleolithic which is when blade tools and the removal of blades from cores was invented. Most blade tools were larger and were replaced by microliths during the Mesolithic as big game open range hunting was replaced with smaller forest dwelling game. Neither upper Paleolithic nor Mesolithic populations favored cave dwelling but rather having open air base camps near bodies of water because fishing was a main source of protein. Your core was only partly used and would have supplied many more blades had it continued to be used as a flint source. Blades were removed from the top end where the underlying flint is exposed and in a circular manner until the core was used up. Give that dog a hug for me!

@@HolzHammerSagas one of my few prized possessions is a small thumb scraper from the same era.

We recently found a brilliant fossil , which is next level, an entire worm/eel, curled up into a spiral.

Im in the desert of Arizona in the US so no option for me to find Ancient coins. Plus its often too hot. But i just purchased my first Parthian coin today. Love watching your videos!

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Very cool Kevin well done - i don't know much about Parthian coins but I do now they were a very advanced Empire in their own right - I will have to google as not much chance of finding one of those over here but you never know - Hope all well over there in Arizona and thanks for joining! All the Best, Alexander

[@ImaginationHobbies]

I learned the Parthians were very resilient to the Roman's. Similar to how Germania tribes were. Accept the Parthians used lots of horsemanship and archery which caused Roman's to fail against them many times until the Roman's adapted. I'm no expert. Still learning myself 😁

Just checking back since subbing and the improvements to the videos in editing are noticeable.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks Second Hat - good to know and thanks for telling me! Hope all well!

@@HolzHammerSagas You got something with this hobby. Hope it grows. It just takes one video to go viral to skyrocket on this site to leapfrog into a big channel. Here's hoping you find something really special one of these days.

@@thesecondhat4717 Thanks - that is a positive outlook and I will take it on board!

Gosh dilemma the spherical ball looks similar to post-med- hook but the shank is straight? So maybe it is Roman a pin, very intriguing indeed...

Yes could well be Victoria ... hope all well and thanks for watching; sorry its taken me so long to reply I have been taking a little break! All the Best, Alexander

the bronze iron artefact look like a end terminal from a cruciform brooch i wonder if it may of been broken and fixed using a iron pin or maybe even as a part of the brooch original . the pin looks saxon to me so it would be same sort of time period great finds mate well done

[@HolzHammerSagas]

It could well be MS it feels like more than a mount or a pommel.... sort of thing you have to see in real life really... Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander

I never thought you would know who Groot was and that he's from guardians of the galaxy lol did your kids make your watch it or are you an MCU fan? , again lovely coins, it was interesting to see you just using a metal detector with no pin pointer, atleast I know what to do where I get a meal detector.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I love those films Robbie! My boy is a bit young yet but hope he likes them to and yes I do quite like the Marvel stuff i collected the comics when I was a kid... will still have them somewhere! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best!

I'd never have guessed you as a fan, excellent m8 , you should dig your comics out you might have a fortune on your hands.

I know I am not sure what went on there Paul.. i think it was a second plan as the first drilling failed... hope all well!

Cold? Its 99° in Texas.
