The odd shaped lump of lead might be what is called in the building trade a plumb bob, that swung on a piece of string in the center of a plum rule, a piece of board, straight and true, about four inches wide and usually four to six feet long used by masons or carpenters to plumb walls or upright timbers or forms, sometimes naughtily referred to in the trade as a swinging diddy. Really enjoy every episode and that spade of yours is a real beaut.

Thanks Joe and thanks for the knowledge - very helpful and interesting! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander

[@frog-eye1420]

With the small pasture areas I used to put two string lines down starting at the side and working across this slows the detecting speed down but multiplies the number of finds. This way you can cover a field fairly well , with overlapping swings. Two marker pegs can be left in the field ready for the next return trip. Some lovely finds there Alexander

Hey that's lovely Alex, and great effort as ever with the film-making!! 🙏 Like you, I loved that little dark Constantinus - the detail and artistry is breathtaking hey?

It has the snapped-off iron core, so likely another Roman (or medieval) steelyard weight.

[@colinsmale8146]

Once again thank you very much for taking the time to make this fascinating videos Alex. Two things... ONE: I have always been frustrated on pasture, finds are usually too deep so I have been watching you with some frustration. As I said the other day, I went out to have another go on pasture using same coil and your simple settings. I checked every signal against the programme I usually use (Gary Blackwell's Sonar prog) and frustratingly the sonar prog was better every damn time! I am fully aware of how important it is to always dig those whispery signals but I simply can't replicate your success on pasture. So... I don't think you will do this Alex and I wouldn't blame you one iota if you don't but a short vid on pasture detecting, signals, sounds, depths would be very interesting. TWO: Jettons. I sometimes wonder if these are a bit 'Emperor's new clothes' when we read "they are counters". I think; they didn't have to produce actual metal 'coins' they could have used coins or even buttons but counters??? Do we really know for sure that they were used for counters or are we just passing on what we have read/heard? Thanks again Alex

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I cant use the sonar programme as it is meant to be fully, as I don't have a remote to fix the settings... but it might well be better - as i said I am just so used to reading what I have had to work with ... sorry it was no good - and yes - I will do a pasture video - it will be fun - thank you for the idea; i will start thinking of a good structure for it!

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I know what you mean about the jettons... do you think they were more important than just counters or less so - one thing is certain; I have found far many more hammered coins than I have jettons from the sane age... 🤔 Wg=hat are you thoughts on their use? Some can be particularly lovely... Hope all well Colin and thanks for watching!

[@colinsmale8146]

I think my ratio must be around 30 hammered for one jetton. As you say, some of them are really handsome which is another reason I can't see them simply as counters but I have always asked myself "what else could they have been used for" and I haven't come up with an answer yet. Best wishes and pleased to see you are on the mend now.

Thanks for that SS - very helpful! And hope all well! All the Best

[@WendyinCanada]

Congratulations on your wonderful finds. How do you split your finds with landowners? All the best from Wendy in Canada!

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Hi Wendy - it depends what eal you have - most of the time Landowners don't really care for the grotty stuff but genearlly the good stuff is split 50/50 - I generally hope that I can buy them out of their share of anything semi valuable and thats usually agreeable! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander

[@johnevans4516]

Good video , I have to tell you I had permission on a field and one part was covered in roman bronzes, it must have been a scattered hoard ,all third century.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I suspect you are right John... lucky you - were they in good nick? Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander

[@MargaretBassett-uf1fi]

Loving your content. So lucky with the area you're detecting in, would love to find something Roman.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

stunning finds alex well done.....

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Cheers dazza!!! Hope all well!

[@gordonanderson4020]

Congrats excellent video, I've never found a roman coin, in the eight years i have been detecting, I'm one jealous detectorist, lol, keep the videos coming.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks Gordon and sorry you haven't found a Roman coin yet... whereabouts are you? The South East is good for them but they are obviously leaner finds in other areas though there is a guy n Scotland who makes KZbin videos who finds more Roman silver coins than anyone i know!!!! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander

@@HolzHammerSagas I'm from Rutherglenin Glasgow, i only get out a couple of times a month, on club digs, due to work, and i don't have any permissions, but one day will find my roman, love watching your videos, HH.

[@jayday1463]

Hi Alexander, great finds, great video. I was hoping there would be a new one waiting for me as I walked home after a couple of hours detecting. My finds were poor today and not many but seeing your finds cheered me up. I use the Deus 1 with the standard 11 inch coil, is that your set up too? I'm not getting the depth you do but I'm still battling with the awful wheat stubble 😂 Thank you for the interesting video.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks for watching Jay... to get the depth yo reallly have to be millimetres off the ground... wheat stubble is really hard I always struggle with it so I always do it but don't get my hopes up too high you are really relying on things close to the surface and not really even worth thinking about anything deeper - less stressful that way and means every half decent find a bonus so stick with it!!!

[@alllllways.watching]

Lovely video, I've got to say I think Romans are my favourite and the quality of the ones you found were beautiful, do you use same settings on the pasture, hot reactivity 2.5 I've just had a little try with this 😊

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I do ME - they are probably not the best settings for pasture they just seem to work for me! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander

[@thedetectorist2759]

Well done. I've recently found a Saxon burial site. I had 10 fragments of crusiformial brooches in ones little area of a field. I was wondering what settings would help me get some more depth? I have a Deus 1 with a 11 inch coin and a 9 inch High frequency coin.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I prob cant help as the settings I use are generally not seen as deep settings they are my go to ones that just work for me. Gary Blackwell has some very good videos on it though - hope all well!

[@AndyCasswell]

Brilliant video as usual, love watching them to see what you find and the info back at HQ really helps me as I am a relative novice. I have recently bought a deus ii ws6 master which I already think is great. Just a question on programs, do you use a preset one or do you have your own

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I mainly use the HOT, the presets on the deus are very good and you only need to tinker very little.. my settings won't help you with the new deus.. i am sure you have already but you cant do better than watching Gary Blackwell's videos on how best to use the machine @metal_detecting . Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander

[@disabledadventures4115]

You really do have some fantastic permissions full of finds that other detectorists can only dream of. I have been detecting 50 years, although now disabled and I have never been lucky enough to find such productive land.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Sorry about that - I don't know what to say... I suppose if i never found anything or never had luck with permissions i would pick a different hobby - I like fishing too and I shoot and paint so there would always be something for me to do - wishing you luck and all the Best, Alexander

Hi alex great video's can you tell me what program you use,also what mode u use for ground balance on yr deus 1 thanks.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks Scalar! I use the HoT programme almost always even on pasture and lower the reactivity just a bit ... to 2.5. I never ground balance as I don't think you really need to with the Deus I.. could be wrong but I ever do! All the Best, Alexander

I would like to learn more about how to negotiate with the land owner. I think that's an overlooked topic worth sharing. I'm a fan of the jewelry, but the tools are probably more historically interesting. The lump of lead is an amazing find, I would like to learn more of what it was used for. If I were to detect behind you, I would be digging a few of the iron signals out of curiosity. Gold I watched a live stream yesterday, Treasure Outdoors, find a gold earring on the beach. The TID/VID was '1' in the sand. When he reexamined it laying on the surface the detector didn't sense it, very strange. It even went negative into the iron tone when air testing. The detector couldn't sense the 10k earring on the surface. Go to 38:50 min. METAL DETECTING HAPPY EASTER! (LIVE REPLAY) Treasure Outdoors kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXa8dXmHlq-InpI This is where the gold sounded like iron, laying on the surface. Go to 43:09 min. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXa8dXmHlq-InpI Tks! GH👨‍🦯HH

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Hi PBR hope all well - its all good and well digging the iron signals though you may find your good find to rusty nail and bits of old horshoe ratio a bit off-putting and after a while, and 100s of holes later, you may find it better to avoid it! I don't know that chap's detector but the one i use wouldn't mistake gold for iron... though interestingly gold often gives a very low tone closer to the iron range than silver gives , say. Anyway, thank you very much for watching - All the Best, Alexander

You are lucky that Saxon brooch was in that video or I’d be asleep about 10 minutes in 😉. To be fair even I would go back there if there was even an upside chance of more Saxon. Those Roman coins do come up in lovely condition on that site.
