Metal Detecting Germany Nr.55 Wonderful Finds Again!!!

[@jonkwin9620]

Good job on this video again Hans. The old split bronze cylinder ring could be a ferrule, from walking stick or similar. The round bronze ring could have been one of many sewn to a leather vest to be type of early chain mail (these were common around roman times) but also had other uses. The broken bronze piece with pin hole might be part of fibula, as shape and thickness variation seems wrong for buckle. Thanks for sharing your day. HH Jon

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Enjoy your videos! I was in Fulda & Bad Hersfeild from 1983 to 1987. While I was in Fulda the Dome moved an outside baptismal and found around 2,000 Roman silver coins in a cache.

Hi Hans, Great two part video, those strap ends were very nice finds in the second part, the little lead bag seals are also nice and some great coins also, love the Roman minim, keep the videos coming Hans I always look out for them, take care my friend and have plenty of good detecting, Regards Richard, GL&HH.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

I'm glad to hear that tom :) thank you for watching!

[@chihene]

the joy of metal detecting is that you never know what you may find, nice video, no matter what you find there's a history to it, happy hunting....

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

***** hello chihene! nicely said and it's true. . it's pure excitement! thank you for watching and commenting! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@TonyThomas1962]

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch, and this one is no exception. The large buckle fragment is curved like a shoe buckle, I suspect that's what it may be. I love the small key and the 1 Kreuzer 1796 hammered silver! The ancient strap ends are wonderful finds as well. Keep up the good work!

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello tony :) thank you very much for your kind words! it gives me confidence to continue and it makes me happy!!! thank you also for watching, commenting and for your support! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@crabstick333]

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello charlie :) thank you! i'm happy to hear you liked my video and finds! thank you for watching and commenting!!! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@michaelmurray1071]

Hi Hans, You do such a nice job on the videos. I don't know how you fixed the camera so that you could film yourself as you walked along but it was about the best I have seen anyone do. Good work. I have been out a couple times in the last few days and only found modern money and costume jewelry. It makes me appreciate all the more that you can find the ancient pieces. Here's hoping you will find another fibula brooch or anything else on your wish list. I don't comment often but just know I am watching your videos as your post them. All the best of luck

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello michael :) thank you very much! it makes me happy that you like my videos! i used my tripod to film me walking. . .it took a bit of practise to do it but i'm happy with the result :) metal detecting is all about the sites and i'm very grateful to be able to detect a place with such a history. . .i don't take it for granted!!! thank you for watching and for your kind words!!! i'm happy that you watch my videos!!! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@cjma1969]

Another great video. Great mix of finds, lovely hammered coin. Best Wishes Carl

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

[@johnsexton7621]

Hans the music and nature scenes are awesome

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you, john.. I'm happy to hear that :)

[@pondguru]

A coin ball from cultivated land is a real rarity and there were some really nice finds on that hunt - always good to see coins and finds from hammered era. p.s. the sharpened end of the toothbrush handle looks like the sort of thing that would be found under a prisoners bed for shanking people, lol GL&HH

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello richard :) you are right. . i have coin chunks every once in a while but they are nothing more than earth chunks from the compressed earth i break when digging. . .i love the hammy! it's in such a good condition!!! haha. . .i hope i didn't inspire some jailbirds. . .don't want to see my toothbrush in the eye of a jailer in the news. . . thank you for watching and for your support! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@pondguru]

TerraGermania Always good to get hammered, yes. When you get one in such great condition it makes the find even more memorable. GL&HH

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

you said it :) i hope to find a real old medieval one soon :)

[@DetectingConnecticut]

Congrats on the hammered coin, really like the small key you found. Thanks for posting. GL & HH

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello michael :) thank you! i was very happy about the key!!! now im looking for the casket ;) thank you for watching and commenting!!! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@degenerati]

That tiny key was a really cool find !

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

I think it's a nice find too. It could be a watch winder, a key for radiators or even for a drum kit :D interesting! thank you for watching!

[@johnsexton7621]

Hans you shouldn't be so disappointed when you don't get a coin . Here in America we love finding the old tomback and flat buttons

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

I used to be a bit greedy back then ;)

[@ThePhilandPam]

Hans you have some really nice finds there and what a lovely sharp hammered silver. As usual your camera work is excellent, even a steady shot of you walking and talking lol many thanks for sharing :-)

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello my friend! thank you very much for your kind words and compliments! it's very nice to hear that you like and appreciate my videos as it takes a bit of time and work to do them and comments like yours are the reward for it :) thank you for watching and for your support! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@fredbug67]

Wonderful results on your field- Is this the field you called the " buckle field"? You may have to change the name to " extraordinary field"! The hammered silver coin was beautiful and the 1800s coins were great also. All in all a fantastic hunt! Love your work and look forward to the next hunt. Thanks, Fred

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello fred :) thank you! haha. . yes, it's the "buckle field" as the first and most common finds on the field are buckles and buckle fragments. . .but you are right! the field is developing in an amazing way! i love the variety of coins on this field! thank you for watching and for your kind words!!! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@jasons6651]

Really great video. Jason.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you my friend :)

[@MichaelSwan66]

very nice tiny skeleton key and Roman minum and silver coin that buckle is massive !

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello michael :) i'm happy to hear that you like my finds! the variety was great that day! thank you for watching and commenting!!! all the best, GL&HH! hans

[@treasurefacts2654]

Hello Hans! I finally had time to take in yet another great hunt! I am impressed with the amount of Artifacts coming out of those fields! I can only imaging a sometimes frazzled Archeologist! Lol! Glad to see its you keeping them busy! Do the scientist's give you a year end revue of your finds or conclusive details as to what your finding in a timeline type fashion? Best to you Hans and your next hunt ! -Jeff

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello jeff :) thank you, i'm glad to hear that you like my vid! i'm as impressed with the amount of finds as you are. . .i have the honor and luck to be able to detect an area like this with so much history and activity in the past. . .haha. . yes it's not easy for the archaeologists. . unfortunately archaeologie isn't very good funded by the government here in germany. the scientists are permanently understaffed and that's why they are dependent on volunteers. but the volunteers of course cause even more work. . .thats why i have to wait a long time for a scientific analysis of some finds. . .i haven't got a problem with that as i'm totally aware of the reason. thank you for watching and commenting my friend! all the best and good luck on your next hunt! HH, hans

[@SuperPaulR]

Excellent mate, love the hammie.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you my friend!! me too! it's in very good condition :) thank you for watching and commenting! best wishes, GL&HH! hans

[@DerekNaylor]

nice looking key hans nice silver and coins mate good hunting :-) ..your right about metal detecting giving you time to think but what i think when i am detecting is why iam not finding anything thats what i think about lol

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello derek :) thank you! haha. . .maybe you should think about more positive things. . .when i'm not finding stuff i always think to my self "if there is something within the range of my detector, i will find it"! thank you for watching my friend! best wishes, GLHH! hans

[@DerekNaylor]

going to try that tonight hans :-) ..i want silver lol...i would think your going to be watching the football tonight mate

[@frogman319]

The finds keep coming ;) . Keep up the awesome work my friend. Been here from the beginning. I am here to the end :) .

Hey Hans. I think you make some of the nices vidios her on you tube, nice finds, and you now pretty moutch what you are talking about, good info for the things you find. i look forwod to what there come here in 2015. i hope you can read my english. hallo from Rasmus..

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Rasmus B Hansen hello rasmus! thank you for your kind words! it makes me happy to hear all this! i try to find out as much as possible about my finds. . .it's often not easy though! i'm glad that you appreciate what i'm doing! thank you for watching and supporting my videos! all the best, hans

[@klaasomega1]

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

[@fredprobst199]

Hi Hans - My best find this year has been your videos. Very enjoyable, informative and well presented. And after watching them I am not so quick to toss out my trash pile. But I was wondering why the nails you find, they appear to be hand forged and about 5cm long, end up in your trash pile? On this side of the pond they would be keepers. Either way, thank you for your excellent videos. - Fred

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

Fred Probst hello fred! thank you for your kind comment, you made me very happy with the things you've said about my videos! i don't throw the nails away. . .i collect them. . .i only put them in the trash bag as they are very dirty . . .i sort the trash when i come home and pick them out. . .they are very old and some of them could even be roman ones :) thank you very much for watching my videos! i appreciate your support :) all the best! hans

[@ECTreasureHunters]

Congrats on your finds and nice hammered coin. Looks like you had a great 2 days out. Love the strap pulls. Keep hitting that field. Just Subbed GL and HH -=The Twins=- Bob and Bill

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello bob&bill :) thank you for watching and subscribing! i did the same with your channel :) i'm so happy about the finds of these days. . .great field!! i wish my brother would share my passion with me, too! must be great to go out detecting together :) good luck on your next hunt! HH! hans

[@davidhopper1087]

Nice one interesting finds and a silver hammered . Looks a lot of work but to find a hammered coin must be worth it. And a roman coin hhhhmmm could there be more???? gl hh Dave

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello dave :) thank you :) it was indeed a lot of work to find the hammy. . .but the joy was even bigger because of that. . .the roman coin is a very nice sign and there are more traces of roman activity on this field. . who knows what will pop up next :) thank you for watching and commenting!!! all the best,GL&HH! hans

Merry Christmas Hans

merry christmas to you too my friend :)

[@sirdigs-a-lot3889]

Nice hunt!! Congrats on your silver hammy, very nice. Were you able to get a time period on the thimble? The book key was an awesome find. Who knows but that key could have belong to Arminius. Wishful thinking I know, but you never know!!! Hope all is well and as always...GL/HH

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

thank you my friend! not really. . .it's not easy to define the exact age of these thimbles as they were made for a couple of centuries with the same design. . .i would guess that it's from the 1700s as most of my finds on this field are from this time span. i love the key! it's a special find and i like your idea about the origin of it :) all is well, thank you hope with you, too :) thank you for watching and commenting james! best wishes, GL&HH! hans

[@garyrebholz4139]

Are those rings possibly early versions of a buckle or cinch fastener?

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

could well be. thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Where would a clan of Celts find shelter on a cold and windy day??? Australian Aboriginals favoured rock shelters. Would Celts?? A rock shelter can be anything from an overhanging rock preferably large and curved, giving shelter from the worst prevailing weather, facing the sun, to a cave. A very distant uncle of mine was an Ansbach Bayreuth dragoon, so love that silber coin.

[@rekindlethewick583]

Hans- Do you know what those large hand made nails were used for?

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

hello zach, these are most likely from buildings as they are quite massive. It's possible that they even date back to the late roman period. thank you for watching!

[@thelaughinghyenas7962]

That bullet is roughly from 1850. More modern than 1800 and less than 1880 or 1890. Of course some hunter could have kept an old gun for many decades. I have seen bullets that look a lot like that from the US Civil War. If you had the diameter it would be easier to make a good guess.

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

I should start to measure these bullets. all I can say is that there is a huge variety of musket balls of different sizes here in germany. thank you for watching!

[@thelaughinghyenas7962]

TerraGermania , Even a rough diameter within say a mm or so would really help date them.

[@thelaughinghyenas7962]

TerraGermania Do you know what battles were fought in the areas you are detecting?

[@TerraGermaniaTG]

definitely not all of them. .I assume a napoleonic camp on these grounds. an important old road is next to this place and napoleon used it for his troop movements.

If those strap ends were found in the UK they'd automatically be called Saxon strap ends.
