The Battle of Stamford Bridge

[@Sevenomous]

I love these type of videos, so calming to watch.

[@MudMaxMetalDetecting]

Nice digs Stephen, and a nice bit of info about two of the most significant battles in our history.

[@beardigger3779]

Stephen. Another great video. I have seen Cross's with the cross piece tilted at an angle. I am also glad that you are doing well, I can see the Chang in you from your earlier video's. Thank you for sharing, not only your Videos's, Finds. Rings, Wobbling but also all of your Help files. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@51foxy]

Nice one Steven. I would love the ring. After all it's our history included in it GL&HH Paul

[@higgybee6509]

[@pastandpresentmetaldetecti1438]

Great vid as usual love the history you have over there on the other side of the pond. Would love to have one of your rings since most likely to never find those coins over here in the states. Stay safe and HH... Pat

[@MsSunwatcher]

What a nice history lesson. Thank you!

[@TonyFarrington]

I would love one of your handmade coin rings. They are unique and so beautiful. Thank you for making treasure hunting even more exiting. Cheers Tony.

[@TheManWithTheHat]

It’s amazing how many people seem to love coin rings. I have always wanted to make one so I borrowed a mandrill and a rubber mallet - and got hooked. Now I have the whole kit and the rings are beginning to look amazing as i get more experienced. So please keep watching, liking and sharing :)

[@TonyFarrington]

Thank you again. Tony

[@adecostin64]

Love watching your videos, I love silver milled coins, would definitely like the coin ring.

[@markwelling7888]

Would love to have one of your silver rings.... for my wife. It's something crafted that we don't see around our parts. Great videos.... keep up the great work!

[@JadeiteGlass]

Thank you for a Great Video! I would love a ring but I am a bit late on the watching, Thumbs up and commenting. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@ld2653]

[@kawarthaleather6659]

I always enjoy your videos Stephen, I'd love that ring, I'm in Canada so there's nothing too old here ...... Steve

[@anthonybrau7399]

Fun video Stephen, and thanks for the history lesson...very interesting. Love your rings and would be honored to have one. Cheers

[@SondeldieWaldfee]

Hi Stephen, thanks for the history lesson at the beginning. Very interessting! :) Sad to hear that you havent found silver so far, good luck on your next hunt. GL&HH Flo

[@aahurryable]

[@pclaxton78]

Hello only just found your channel and I'm now going to spend the night watching the rest, I look forward to your next adventure and hope you get another hammered and I find my first soon aswell. .

[@lynnreem8900]

Thank you for another great video, I loved the history lesson as I am very fond of history. I would love to have the ring you are making and would treasure it always. Thank you!

[@TheManWithTheHat]

I sincerely appreciate your leaving a comment. I’m always looking at new ways to improve my channel and bring something fresh to the videos. Your support means everything to me because without you, i would not have a youtube channel.

[@enriquemireles8947]

[@ric2katie]

Well done Stephen, another top quality entertaining video. At 13.35 the item that you unearthed looks like a trigger from a early air rifle. Very well presented and a honest way to show that you have to be really lucky to find treasure. It's just like the lucky dips from the 60s/70s when you dipped your hand into a tub of saw dust and hoped you found a bag of marbles. I have watched all of your ring from coin video's and found them very inspirational and would cherish one of your fine works of art. I have a little something for you that i am having made up by a engineering company who make custom parts for Bentley. I will pm you next week when it is made so i can forward it to you and hope that you will find it very handy when you are making coin rings. Please keep the video's coming. Regards Phil.

[@charlessirois7627]

we all have that kind of day..but were at least getting outside and away from the TV & PC.. I would just love to have a piece of history from the UK...TY

[@N.I-Detecting]

Enjoyed that, nice fish knife lol, last piece of cutlery I found was a sterling silver tea spoon a couple of weeks ago - GL HH

[@jynxgoxoom]

very nice video. I did learn a thing or two as well which is always good. One of your rings would be fantastic as it could and would likely be as close to full filling a bucket list item of going to your beautiful country and finding myself some cool history.

[@worshawc]

I'd like to have one of your rings. It's extremely interesting to see how you make them, and you're a fine craftsman. Thanks for the great videos, too!

[@jimini1976]

So much more history there than in the states.Im in upstate NY and so far have only found some modern coins and some Hotwheels cars I lost years ago. Would love one of your coin rings.

[@julieoliver4956]

Love your videos they are very informative of our history I would love to win one of your rings keep these videos coming and thanks xx

[@VincentPriceknives]

[@dalevandyke7628]

A sterling ring made from a Victoria shilling...who wouldn't want one!! Nice video.

[@WarRadish]

I'd love one of your beautiful coin-rings. I just took up metal detecting a few weeks ago and decided to get a Deus, but I haven't even found a single coin yet! Having one so beautifully and carefully crafted would mean a lot, but mostly to my wife! She recently lost a British commemorative coin, given to her by her deceased father, that she'd been carrying in her purse since the early 80's. I was hoping to find it somewhere nearby with the Deus, but no luck so far. By the way, I am an ex-pat and this video made me very home sick! Our family had a static caravan in Stamford Bridge throughout the 60's & 70's. I spent most of my weekends there while growing up. I absolutely love that part of the country.

[@DerekNaylor]

finds are still finds stephen mate great video :)) ...being a garrett man all the sounds from that deus sound the same lol ... i am used to dings and dongs

[@rhondayarnot6270]

Hello from the USA! I have watched a couple of your videos over the weekend and I just subscribed! I just love the history over there and learning about it. We don't have nearly the history here! my oldest coin is from the late 1800s and that's lucky for me. I have always wanted to learn how to make coin rings and getting one made out of an old European coin would be absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing the great history and finds! HH. Rhonda :)

[@adventuresindirtfishin]

love your videos and i would realy love to have a coin ring made by you.

[@KENNEY1023]

Would be awesome to have an English coin ring, enjoy the videos keep them coming.

Good stuff as usual. Put me in for the ring draw cos you are a legend.

[@cherylmatthews7172]

Hi I'm Cheryl from Missouri in the USA. I have watched a couple of your videos now. I'm new to your channel but I have certainly enjoyed watching you find things. The piece you thought was scrap but wasn't sure? To me it looked liked a piece off of a metal chest plate. It had some sort of design on it. I would definitely love to have a piece of fine jewelry. That would be awesome. I love rings and don't have very many.

[@svanuden7516]

Hi Steven, great video again. With or without interesting finds it's always educational to me. Hope I'll win the Victorian Shilling of the "1890s or something" LOL. I never owned a British coin of that kind. Hope to be winning it. Kind regards, Stephan from The Netherlands

[@magpie73]

i would love the coin ring sounds pretty cool,,seen you hunt with relic recover ist

[@berniebriscombe6506]

Hi Stephen I would like one of your rings I used to make them a long time a go, from half crowns before I retired. We had a tool that made them in one hit. Do not punch the hole first, form the ring like a cup shape the turn the end off to make the ring shape on a lathe. Then size it up. Bernie Briscombe.

[@davidmarks7233]

I would absolutely adore a ring, man. I used to have handmade silver rings, my ex and I did. I really loved those. Unfortunately, I brokenheartedly had to part with them. I would be indebted for receiving one from you, Stephen. *(If I am lucky enough to get one...I am a size 9)* Ah, Stamford Bridge. I love the story of the lone Viking on the narrow bridge, though I am uncertain to its full truth in the version I have heard. Regardless, the story of the Berserker with the greataxe taking down many dozens of Saxons, then meeting his fate as a Saxon snuck under the bridge and impaled him...interesting stuff. Great video, as always.

[@bdavis1193]

I would love to have a silver coin ring because you are a living legend bud! and because I don't have one yet...lol...have a great day

[@kieranconnolly3889]

Can you do a video on using the super massive black hole on snatch / how to use it please

[@discosfa6785]

Good video again ,Like your spade where can I get one please ?

[@cjhobbyfly8597]

The "Vikings" were not in York at this time, Harald Hadrada's army was a Norwegian force, they had defeated the northern earls at the Battle of Fulford and were waiting at Stamford Gate for the York town leaders to come and give them access to the city, instead Harold Godwinson turned up.

[@UKEDC]

Great tip with the lanyard thanks for sharing. What spade do you use please?

Nice barrel tap key Steve.

[@larrywerring9674]

I'd love to have a coin ring. I am very much fascinated by the process of making them. Unfortunately, I have arthritic hands and can't do it myself so I watch you. Having the ring would be a constant reminder of the phenomenal history in the old country, since now I live in the New World. Our history and geography make it a real challenge to make finds such as you would in England. I notice you get quite a bit of shrapnel and ammunition casings. Is this residual from the war? How much does war junk hamper your searches?

[@scottishdigger4991]

Steven I thought to myself when you said go put the kettle on now that's a great idea get ready to watch the finds a boom I hear u find something before my backside is even up off the chair ✌🏻 gl&hh

You are wrong about the king it was Edward the confessor Not Edward 2nd he came much later on in English history.

[@biggstavros5876]

Your command of the English language is very poor indeed.

[@kevincasey5035]

Technically, he's correct. Edward the Martyr ruled England from 975 to 978. Edward the Confessor ruled 1041 to 1066 thus making him the second "Edward" to rule. However, the use of numbers after a person's name didn't really get started until after 1066 apart from the two "Harold"s.

[@tacored1290]

Love to have the coin. Can't get them here in US but rather have the coin not in ring form.

[@richardtarr2745]

Hi Stephen, the Stamford Bridge site was somewhat disappointing but as usual I think that negative hunts do a lot to encourage others who are also finding very little. My wife has just undergone surgery for cancer and I'd love to give her a ring. Her fingers are pretty small though, so the coin also needs to be small to make it fine rather than chunky. Maybe you would consider her for the silver shilling?

[@FatbizzleGamePlay]

What's the best way to defend your parcel without spending a ton of gold on snatch

I don't think William would have landed at Pevensey, where there was a large castle and then marched to Crowhurst to fight. Better to land adjacent to the proposed battlefield.

[@rogersheddy.8497]

12:09 Could that be a relic of the Battle of Britain? I mean all those aeroplanes zooming around shooting each other they have to come down somewhere... Now you drill a small hole in the base of it and stick it on a little eyelet and >bing< you've got a very nice little souvenir.

[@alienphysics8592]

Considering you often metal detect in very flat / open spaces, I would think you would get a small vehicle / motor bike / or similar and design a metal detector "pickup head ?" with a very large diameter ..... There are individuals whom do that very thing when looking for meteorites and cover large area's in a very short time, they simply drag the scan head behind the vehicle on plastic skids. Personally I would have one large for one on board detector and behind those I would have several small coils on skids for a separate detector. If you worked with another person it would be even faster like this in principle --> a) person on vehicle has head phones wired together with adapter so any detector can be heard through one set of head phones.. b) driver also has two sets of simple flags to throw out behind him as he hears detector noise .......... blue or red flags .......... red means the large coil triggered indicating a "deep hit" and blue a "shallow hit" on small coil sounds..... c) the driver continues in this way while the second person begins following the trail and digging, soon to be assisted by the driver whom supposedly won't take long.

[@BigfootDigger]

Well at least you got out and about and covered some ground lets you know where theres a likelihood of good sites you just get days with nothing but thats ok too... Good luck
