I really enjoy your videos for several reasons: 1) your positive, upbeat attitude and carefree disposition about the weather. 2) your awareness of, and inclusion of, your surroundings and the context that you verbalize as a result. 3) your research and love of local history. 4) the natural , unassuming way that you give commentary as if you are chatting with a friend. 5) your generosity with the landowners. 6) your love of nature and the video clips thereof that you include in your "movies." Your channel shines because you do, and of the many detecting channels that I watch I look at yours first! Keep up the good work and Les from Indiana, USA, wishes you the best of health and happy hunting. Good luck, too.

[@miss_detectorist]

Les, that really means a lot! Thanks for your kind words 🤍

[@slave2damachine]

[@miss_detectorist]

Thank you for giving your time to watch! Glad you’re enjoying 🙂

[@1AndyMead]

Got to love a silver :) ! The griding explanation , now thats a good idea

[@bartBart]

Thank You for Sharing Another Enjoyable Video As Always. Stay Safe.

[@miss_detectorist]

So glad you enjoyed it! There are three parts to this one so check out parts 1 & 2 for the full story!

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Nice spring day and finds!

[@miss_detectorist]

Beautiful day!

[@diggingnashvegas]

Your very smart..nice vid, very cute also

[@sammiross2817]

Brillaint ellie, your so lucky to have these permissions! im abit jel 😅x

[@miss_detectorist]

This one is a bit special I must admit. But I have several that aren’t as prolific - and I still love the challenge of sifting through the earth and wondering what’s there…

[@steveshepherd2712]

Do like that you enjoy the whole outdoor experience along with your detecting. Here in Canada I enjoy harvesting fiddleheads ( young curled up shoots of wild ostrich ferns )in the Spring. They are so good and healthy my family and I crave them. Fabulous as a side dish they have similar taste to asparagus and are amazing in a soup 😄🇨🇦

[@miss_detectorist]

They sound amazing! I love foraging, and cooking, so lots of hobbies hand in hand!

[@AndrewRobinsonDirtDiggers]

A lovely part of the world. Stiles are good spots to find coins.

[@miss_detectorist]

I’ll spend longer there next time but very happy with my sixpence! Visions of a wartime person hopping over that stile on the way back from the pub

[@fairyacorn4854]

Your videos are always so interesting and the history is great. I can remember those style sixpences and have probably got some in my fathers coin collection. He started it before the new coins came in. Happy detecting see you soon.

[@miss_detectorist]

Wonderful! Glad you enjoy the vids 😊

[@YorkshireBoysDetecting1966]

We have been so privileged to watch your journey from whence you started ..If my dear you at Detectorval this year I would like to buy you beer. Kind regards Ian and Connor Green .....LOL I tried doing a few vids so rubbish if you would have a look

[@miss_detectorist]

Thanks for the watches and kind words 😊

[@JuanCruz-uf4rg]

Beautiful place Ellie

[@WildwoodTV]

Well done on the lucky sixpence! 'Battleships' is a similar game - where would you take a break, a picnic - on the ridge in the sunshine, or shade under a tree. It really makes you think, the lay of the land... PS Wild garlic pesto is great too! 10.00 George V penny?

[@miss_detectorist]

Great ideas! Sometimes I make wild garlic butter and freeze it in cubes for later in the year on a steak 🤩

[@ianginnetta5167]

these videos are great, thank you! i drove past a sign for the Roman Corinium museum yesterday on my way back home from Wales, wish I had time to stop off. I travelled up from Cirencester to Stow on the Wold and couldnt help thinking about the history buried in the fields all around me.

[@miss_detectorist]

It’s a wonderful area - perhaps next time for the Corinium museum, really really worth a visit!

[@richardcannady4424]

Another great video as always. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your hard work

[@miss_detectorist]

Thanks for watching Richard glad you enjoy my channel!

[@65bugnut]

[@miss_detectorist]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@StevieMoore-q3c]

[@miss_detectorist]

It’s fantastic - I wouldn’t be without it! So much still to learn but enjoying the process!

[@HooliganOutdoorsUK]

Great 3 videos! 🤘🏻really enjoyed them. Take care.

[@miss_detectorist]

Thanks for watching along! 😊

[@wilfredzielinski5685]

great video again a big thank you

[@cassopsnoxdigger614]

well done Ellie..yes we love blue sky and mild weather...it would be great for it to stay like that...but let's not be premature..we know what April could be like lol, i think (don't quote me on it) the full silver content stopped in either 1921...or 22...however some full silver coins slipped through...but yours is most probably 50% ! .. i look forward to your next travels on your permission, take care hun...GL&HH Gordon.

[@miss_detectorist]

Thanks for the correction on the silver. I’m learning and will get things wrong from time to time. Still happy with my find.

[@jamesprentice5503]

Woo hoo! Not raining on you! Lol! Nice start ,a silver sixpence! 😊

[@miss_detectorist]

Thank you yes indeed a bit of sunshine for me!!!! ☀️ happy spring equinox

[@sammiross2817]

Hello...Miss D, missing your vids 😅

[@miss_detectorist]

There’s one on the way! 😀

[@shooterjohn7163]

Ellie wonderful video and exceptional weather. The Roman coins are great but any coin is fun to find. You really need to be somewhat of an archaeologist to help search the area for the good sites to detect. Best wishes… John

[@miss_detectorist]

Yes indeed! Imagination and research play a big part of my trips.

[@foreversearchingste]

I hope you find the square on the grid with the celtic coins in next time 😉👍

[@miss_detectorist]

Ooo me too!!! I found a droplet of what might be lead that looked like one - I meant to test it for silver. Just to be sure! But I can’t find it …

[@foreversearchingste]

I think the grid reference is D6 or D5!! Really enjoying your vids, keep up the good work 👍

[@richardbond3224]

3 superb videos Elle and great Roman finds. The 6d sadly is 50% silver not 92.5

[@miss_detectorist]

@@richardbond3224 yes I know I’ve been corrected on that sorry for the error! Learning here 🙋‍♀️

[@richardbond3224]

[@DiggerDunnMetalDetecting]

50% silver after 1920 👍🏼

[@dafyddiago]

FYI.... Silver .500 In 1920, most British silver coins, the halfcrown, florin, and shilling, were debased to .500 fine, that is 50% silver, and 50% copper. Two denominations, the sixpence and threepence were struck in both alloys for 1920. All four maundy coins were still produced in sterling silver during 1920. From 1920 onwards, all British "silver" coins, with the exceptions noted above, were produced in .500 fine silver, that is 50% silver, alloyed with 50% copper, so that from 1921 to 1946 inclusive, they were all .500 fine. Pre 1947 Silver Coins 1947 Onwards From 1947 onwards, all the "silver" coins were reduced to being made in cupro-nickel, an alloy of copper and nickel. Interestingly, the maundy coins, which had been debased to .500 fine from 1921, were increased to sterling silver, and are still struck in this metal even today.

[@tomhat1981]

If you need help with ID of the coins just send me a clear picture of obverse and reverse for each. Email in my about.. Could well be box flue but looks like roof tile to me ..A larger piece would give it away as box flue is usually heavily combed, probably to help the mortar adhere.. You are welcome to join me iafter the havest I have some productive land in Kent Enjoyed all 3 videos . Keep going

[@miss_detectorist]

Thank you that’s really kind on the ID’s and if I’m ever in Kent that sounds amazing! 😊😊

[@tonilauge5786]

Third roman coin its an altar not a building! Late roman coinsinfluevecef By early christen religion. As Konstantinopel ( now Istanbul) Become Main city 😜🔝❤️ Main city. Different way of making uploads, must be the Female touch. I like that! Very early Summerbird. Maybe a drone, would be practice Later. Grop marks is clearly visible In June/July plus signs of buildings Etc. Give sn idea

[@miss_detectorist]

Drone is a great thought - I have one but no idea how to use it yet. Learning as I go! I’m glad you like my films. I’m an artist in my day job so possibly a different way of looking at the search and the world! Thanks for the info on the coin! Will clean it up and get researching!

[@stevechelt1]

@@miss_detectorist The drone idea made me think of satellite imagery using Google Earth, I use this when researching sites to look for crop marks etc. You need to install Google Earth on your PC, then zoom in to the area you want, next you click on the button for historical imagery (top bar, green arrow turning anti-clockwise next to the button with a sun), then you can click back through all the imagery they have. It's very useful as these images were taken at different times of year, so the lighting angle and dryness of the crops/ground varies.

[@miss_detectorist]

@@stevechelt1 good tips!! Thanks a lot Steve I’ll give that a try!
