PROJECT: ROMAN FIELDS /// Metal detecting a U.K. Roman farmstead for ancient artefacts and coins 🤩

WE’RE BACK! Roman fields have been ploughed and it's time to see what clues this ancient land can give us.
A new video diary from my Roman fields permission - site of a small farmstead, which has given up numerous ANCIENT artefacts with stories to tell…
👩🏼‍💻 JOIN THE CONVERSATION IN THE COMMENTS: What makes a ‘good day’ of finds for you? Are you just happy to be out and about metal detecting or walking the fields… or do you need a small find to make your day!

A bit about me:
Not your average bloke in camo..
Hello! I’m Ellie, English female detectorist, beachcomber, field searcher and artist. 🇬🇧 Follow my searching journey metal detecting the UK countryside and shoreline, as I learn about British history through objects.
Have I found any treasure? Well - I've collected Bronze Age and Roman artefacts, old gold, hammered coins and medieval finds. But the REAL treasure is in the stories each object tells about people and places. Sometimes it’s the mystery objects that I love best - cracking the code of time with plenty of help from my team of trusty subscribers! Thank you all for being here :)
Miss D.

Excellent video. Totally agree, it’s not all about the finds it’s about being out in the country side enjoying your free time.😊

[@donreed417]

You're right Miss Ellie. It's the hunt. Days go by sometimes many. Then bang. You dig something extra special. Maybe one day you'll walk into a field and find a hoard. Or a gold Guinea. Who knows? Lovely to watch as always. 😊

[@user-myDeus24ever]

Ellie you can change settings like reactivity until it stops the chatter hopefully that will help

[@marcdelangle8260]

I am a French user of a metal detector, and I speak English "just a bit" but I thank you for your video about that roman field. The Nokta spade "makes the job" but I think it is a bit heavy. Best regards!

[@nicklegg61]

For me it would be a dream to get a permission, but never mind.

[@miss_detectorist]

Keep the faith, you will get one!

[@drinksafewater]

Well done Ellie, It's not about the Silver It's not about the Gold - It is about the history , and the stories that can be told.

[@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer]

Each signal is like Christmas morning, you never know what its gonna be, that thrill is why i do it and to be able to share some history. Hope to cross paths at a Detectival or something

Missus metal detector

[@user-myDeus24ever]

I sure wished I was there rain or not I would be swinging my detector lol but that’s because I only have the public beach to detect on , can’t detect any schools,parks no where but the beach

[@miss_detectorist]

Beaches are fun - hope you get to find some nice objects 😊

[@PeterJessenDK]

A tooth from a harrow? They tended to fall off when the harrow hit a stone of some size

[@miss_detectorist]

I expect it’s part of a piece of farm machinery yes. It’s in the scrap bucket now!

[@steveshepherd2712]

Remember those old movies that would get a " hair in the gate " ? Well you had 3 hares behind the gate 😆. Sure there must be more coins in there you just need a good rain or frost to turn them a little flat side up and you will hear them 😉🇨🇦

[@nicklegg61]

In the past I saw hares boxing. Good vid.

[@miss_detectorist]

Oh wow!! I’d love to see that

[@myview1875]

Up here in the North we can see hares boxing regularly. 🥊🥊.

[@miss_detectorist]

@@myview1875 how amazing!!!!

[@JuanCruz-uf4rg]

It,s rainning in Galicia, too.

[@talcadetector4018]

Felicitaciones amiga, muy interesante aventura y lindo lugar para detectar, éxito en tus búsquedas, te envío un gran saludo y un gran abrazo desde chile 🙋‍♂️🇨🇱🤜🤛👏💪⛏️🗝️🙏💍👍😊

[@leonardjackman354]

Thank you for your video. It’s such a pleasure to be able to walk around permissions metal detecting relaxing watching the wildlife . It’s a great hobby. Len

[@0777cnut]

Hi Ellie your enthusiasm is infectious , i also drive a fair long way to get to my permissions in York , 2 and half hour drive , i notice you use pitch tones alot , can i suggest full tones smooth , it gives you so much more information about the target id , instead of just the screaching pitch , try it on some silver and bronze targets i think you will like it , keep swinging lovely girl 😊

[@miss_detectorist]

I will try that thank you! If I can work out how to change it 😂

[@gronkler969]

Hi I noticed that there is a lot of stinging nettles around the oak trees stinging nettles nearly always grow over old buildings or habitation worth a look.!!

[@miss_detectorist]

Yep I noticed that too! I did a little piece about stinging nettles on a previous vid. Definitely an old habitation here..

[@slave2damachine]

I've watched many KZbin detectorists on Roman fields and never found any as enthusiastic over Roman iron nails as you are.Most can't stand the pesky things as they are not interested in anything ferrous, but they are a part of history. Well done.❤

[@miss_detectorist]

Haha thank you 😊 I do still find all that stuff interesting 😊

[@tomwheeler7816]

if i had a perm i would be there 2 or 3 times a week

[@miss_detectorist]

this particular one is pretty far from where I live - so I really have to plan my visits carefully! I try to get out a few times a week closer to home - it’s so fun 😊

[@nolarino]

Thank you for a lovely exiting video again Miss E. You found some interesting and exiting things today. Sorry it was raining for you. I really enjoyed watching you finding all the wonderful artifacts though, Bye for now, Peter.

[@miss_detectorist]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@myview1875]

@9:00 Well said. 🙂. It irritates the hell out of me where UK metal detecting channels always seem to be competing against each other with how many hammered they can put in a video or it is I have found another gold coin video and on and on it goes with never ending click bait thumbnails. 🙄. For Gods sake show me some buttons or cap badges or just run of the mill finds. 😠. Rant over. 😀. P.s. I have 40+ years of metal detecting in the UK and have a very nice collection of coins and artefacts ( still have everything never sold a thing ) and now in my later years 😆I appreciate the little finds more than the finds that most detectorists crave like another hammered silver to get on video for more clicks. 🙄. Good on you for going detecting and saying you do it for the fun. 🙂. HH.

[@miss_detectorist]

Thank you so much for that comment it means a lot! I hate the click bait thumbnails too - so cheesy!

[@iananderson4159]

Ellie History is like a Jigsaw puzzle finding all pieces and putting them together makes a good story, Its not a good idea being out in a thunderstorm as you carrying metal about increases the chance of being hit by lighting ,so take care . well done with the video

[@miss_detectorist]

The storm took me by surprise! Anyway I survived to tell the tale 😊

[@bobtbtownsend]

I’d be more than happy with a day like that. Your hard work paid off 👍

[@miss_detectorist]

Some days it happens that way - many others it really doesn’t 😩😂

[@amandahitchen732]

Certainly got roman activity there. Magic to see 3 Hares. And lovely to see the Fox too. Xx

[@christianboutell7112]

I really enjoy watching your videos,and love your theory of what you find is a winner, it's like going out fossiling if we find some iron pyrite ammonites and belemnites it's brilliant.

[@miss_detectorist]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the vids! Fossil hunting is great fun!
