I once found a full sovereign while detecting (1889). I then went over the area for the next hour and a half,but no others. You never forget your first gold find, you are dead right.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Michael, wow stunning, was that a Jubilee head Sovereign? You are right, there's nothing quite like it, finding gold coins is a special moment. I was lucky enough to find an Edward VII Sovereign on Sunday just gone, same area as the other recent gold coins I've found. Really having a rather unbelievably year, 3 gold coins so far in 2023!!

[@digismartuk]

So you are 134 years old? Amazing

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jeff30795]

The Griffin style head on the Gold seal is breath taking! whata find!

[@ShowShortsTV_]

Those Tear drop shaped lead pieces you found are Fishing weights, missing the little top loop where your fishing line would attach.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello there, thank you very much for coming along to my channel and watching this video, I really appreciate it. Also, thanks for helping to identify the mystery lead item. I hope to see you again on one of my many other metal detecting videos. Have a great evening. Gareth

[@ShowShortsTV_]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire Absolutely, I enjoy your content!

[@gaz4840]

Gaz, i really love your videos which are beautifully made, edited and the music is spot on... and what is amazing is that instead of just pulling the gold coins out, you take time to savour the moment... and have the prescence of mind to record the event... I found a gold ring last year but i didnt know it was a gold ring until it came out of the clod, it was a 14 on the Nox which is always a ring pull but on this occasion it wasnt.. I just fell back and stared then started laughing....and the bronze age axe head that i found was a 30+ on the Nox which is usually a BOAT (bit off a tractor) but i had only been detecting for about a month and i was digging everything... I think maybe now i`m a bit too choosy with what i decide needs to be dug... I also like how you marvel at the imprint from the coin, its so exciting seeing the imprint before the coin. I think what is also exciting is when i check the hole and get another signal..!! Always check your hole...Like you i`ve dug ringpulls, cans, lead, scrap iron, mobile phones, lighters, vapes, buttons, toy guns and cars, badges, copper pipe, bullets, all modern coins and victorian silver but the excitement is still there.. i also love being out on my own but occasionally with a detector colleague. I`ve just read the book " Gone Fishing" where Paul Whithouse and Bob Mortimer both agree that you dont have to have caught anything to have had a great day out, its the day out itself that makes it worthwhile, finding anything is a bonus.. Keep posting, theres gold in them there hills...:)

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, love this comment, apologies for the slow reply, slowly but surely working my way through replying to everyone :) Thank you for your kind words, I work very hard on the content I upload and spend many hours capturing my days and editing the videos. So its nice for me to receive such comments. Sounds like you are doing very well, almost 10 years in this hobby and I still wait for my 1st gold ring.. But its out there, I know it is!! Sounds like a good book, never had time for reading books, maybe one day I will sit down with a glass of beer and read a book. Thanks again for this awesome comment and for your support. G

[@demolitionman13]

dude my heart skipped a beat when i saw that seal cleaned up , that is so stunning to look at, what an amazing piece truely a dream find well done 👀

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello there and good morning, thank you very much for taking time out your day to watch this video. Thanks also for the awesome comments, I really appreciate it. The FOB seal is definitely one of the best things I will ever find with a metal detector in my lifetime. Thanks again and I hope to see you again on my channel. Gareth

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire thanks for showing it , well i have a lot of time atm to watch your lovely videos, i broke my foot 2.5 month ago i have not been out on the fields this year sadly and i really love it and watching this makes my day when i cant be out there yet, also it gives me blood on the tooth to go out knowing that piece like this is still out there , iv been searching for 2.5 - 3 years now still havent found a spec of gold yet , i live in denmark lots of viking artifacts here my dream is to find an viking armring 🤩

[@delsmith7725]

Thank you Gareth. Love how you put this together and nice to watch those epic finds again. Clever stuff buddy. Such Talent in thy productions. You've Just got a gift for it. You really do 👏

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hey there Del, cheers mate and thanks for the wonderful comments. I always maintain what I do is very very basic and very very amateur, but I try to do it in my style and I try to do it different from other metal detecting channels. As I only had 3 hours to detect as kid was at my mum's, this was the closest permission. I thought I could do a short hunt video with a look back at my 2 best finds here. It worked out really well and I was super happy with the result. Although I'm yet to watch the completed video. Thanks as always for your kind words. Catch ya later dude. Gareth

[@blue2isle]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I have a few fields like this myself. Great feeling to return and memories come back when you walk the same landscape, see the same rocks and trees. Great video!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, you are welcome dude, I really enjoyed making this video, been there again and re-living those moments. I was up there again yesterday but man it was so overgrown, beautiful weather though. You know you have had a permission for a long time when you notice tree's growing bigger and in some cases coming down!! Thanks as always for coming along. G

[@shamps25]

Love watching your videos, my grandad used to take me back in the 70s and absolutely loved it, you are inspiring me to get into this hobby,thanks

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello, thanks very much for your kind words, it is awesome to know that my channel inspires others out there. You have probably seen this one already but about a year ago I made a Beginners Guide To Metal Detecting, aimed at people just like you who are thinking about getting into the hobby: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i561aYKdfplmq9k Thanks again for your kind words and also for supporting my channel and what I do. I hope to see you on my next episode. Gareth

[@iinsnek]

Brilliant just brilliant enjoyed every second, so pleased for you,a well deserved find or three. Production quality is ace and the background music perfect, thank you much.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello there, wow thanks so much for such wonderful comments. It really is comments like this that encourage me and motivate me to work so hard on the content I upload. Each 'project' I upload is usually around 12 hours of work, my channel keeps me insanely busy trying to upload each week. I go away on holiday soon for a week in Lanzarote so I may well miss a week soon, sorry in advance. Thanks again for your kindness and I hope to see you on another episode of mine. Gareth

[@BC-dig]

Way to go and worth a rewatch! Congrats again and not too many places as pretty as that site to find some peace of mind in the field. Take care and wish you and all your watchers many more great finds!🤞

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello, thanks for the comments and thanks for taking the time to watch this video. When I am looking for new permissions, the first thing I look for is how scenic it is. This place is amazing and holds these treasured memories for me. Don't be surprised if you see me here again very soon :) Thanks again for the kind words and I hope to see you again. Gareth

[@boxingfan2281]

That lump of lead with a rusted iron loop is an old fishing weight. Someone used to practice casting on or around that field.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello thanks so much for taking time out your day to watch this video and for helping out with the mystery item. I think you are definitely right as a few others agree with you. Thanks again and I hope to see you on another of my many metal detecting videos. Gareth

Thankey for a walk down memory lane. With new finds along. Biggest treasure You had to collect by your Mom Kids are so lovely in that age. Remember to enjoy the time😜🔝❤️

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there mate, apologies for the slow reply, I have become overwhelmed with comments again. I really enjoyed making this video, it was awesome to re-live those memories and moments. Yesterday I was lucky enough to experience another of these moments!!! My daughter is definitely a little treasure all right, a wee beautiful sole. Thanks as always for tuning in and supporting what I do. G

[@davemann3940]

Such a beautiful place to return to and to relive the memories of finding your gold.There are still good finds there as you have shown and well worth a visit.Excellent video and well narrated too.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Cheers Dave, this video turned out so well considering I only had 3 hours up there to plan what I was gonna do, film it and try to make some finds. Even got lucky enough finding a silver - which is rare to find up there. Definitely will be going back up there in autumn when all the greenery dies back down again. Thanks as always for watching. Dave I found another gold coin yesterday!!!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there Andrew, it certainly was amazing for me to make this video and re-live these amazing memories at such a beautiful place. I spent Friday and Saturday with your good buddy Marcus (Notched To 11), we camped in hammocks on my big green hillside permission after a full days detecting, was truly awesome!! Thanks as always for coming along. G

[@jacobmcdevitt5056]

Those were some crazy finds and of course as another week comes and goes another great video comes with it!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Jacob, thanks for your kind words, I was a couple days late uploading this one as I was living in the wild most of the weekend wild camping in a hammock on the big green hillside. The first thing I did when I got home was finish up this project and set it uploading, then I went back out metal detecting again. Absolute dedication!! Thanks as always. G

[@SAM.L3AR]

I remember watching you finding that fob seal in the original video, and feeling in absolute awe! Such amazing craftsmanship has gone into that! Find of a lifetime imo! 🍻

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, yes although it was many years ago now, it will always feel like yesterday to me (even though I have a terrible memory). It is one of the most beautiful objects I've ever pulled from the ground with a metal detector. Happy days. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. G

[@simonjohnson1585]

Love the thruppeny bit coin balls, almost predictable lol 😅, thanks Gareth pal for your nice comments 👍🏻💯, and the fitting in of kids around precious detecting time is a beautiful rush to the car with minutes to spare . Cheers bud your a detecting legend and looking forward to another great video 💫all the best from silage cutting Somerset.

Hi there Simon, thank you as always for your awesome comments, I say it time and time again, I take all my inspiration and motivation from the comments I receive - good or bad!! Considering I had a very short window to metal detect, this video and idea went so well considering I did not planning beforehand, I completely winged it!! Really proud of this video and proud of my channel, thank you for your support. Gareth (definitely not a detecting legend, but an incredibly passionate detectorist :)

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, definitely great memories, this place really is a special place for me, it genuinely makes you feel good when you metal detect here. Seems like I need to start detecting here again after around 60 visits over the last 5 or 6 years. Thanks so much for watching. G

Fantastic mate and great to relive those moments with you, it does look an enchanting place to spend a day. Nice little bonus to pop a beautiful silver shilling up.

But yeah I do work incredibly hard, racked up 15 hours in the field this weekend and got a very burnt neck for my troubles haha

Hi James, thanks as always for coming along to my channel and watching. These modern 50% silver coins always seem to be in mint condition, I'm not sure why. I think pure silver coins wear a LOT more than the 50% ones. Also not in circulation for as long. Yes I will be back here, perhaps i Autumn, as that is my favourite time of year to be up there. And lets face it, Autumn and Winter will soon be upon us!! Thanks again. G

WOW! That gold half-sovereign is like new! A truly Beautiful find! If you can afford to hold on to it, keep it forever. You may end up finding enough to leave them to your children or grandchildren. To me, that is the greatest feeling in the world, giving something I cherish to family members! That oval lead piece may be from a chandelier or a lamp. (?) Just a guess. Those are some awesome finds. I'm really fond of the coins that look like new. Their detail is amazing! Thank you for directing me to this page. The grounds of that manor are truly beautiful. I can see why you love it so much. I'm in a small piece of heaven too, south-central Florida, U.S.A. I love it here. I'll be talking with you again soon. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you much for the adventure!

Hi there Jim, thanks so much for coming along to my channel and for your kind words. The half Sovereign is actually quite worn, it's by far my most worn gold coin I've found, and I've found 9 unbelievably. Yes all my gold and silver coins will be left to my daughter and no doubt she will flog them on the cheap when am dead n buried. The hall ground really is a nice place and a nice place to metal detect, I'll be back up there in autumn for some more visits when the grass has died down. Thanks again for your awesome comments and I hope to see you on another of my many metal detecting adventures. Gareth

Amazing place buddy. The lead teardrop find with the iron loop at the top could be an old fishing weight. Someone was probably practicing their casting back in the day, or maybe some sort of loom weight. Nice you ended with a half silver.

Hi there Nick, thank you very much for coming along to my channel, watching this video and sharing those amazing moments with me. I believe the half sovereign to be worth around £200.

That place has giving you some awesome treasures and equally awesome memories for sure. The seal matrix is one of my favorite finds that I’ve watched you dig for sure. I mean the gold coins and the silver they’re all special I get that, but that seal….wow! I’ve said before that there is a spectrum with metal detecting. There is the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. The feeling that you had when you dug the gold coin and the seal matrix we’re at the top of that spectrum and the people who lost those… well their feelings were at the very bottom of that spectrum if you get what I mean. The feelings that you get when you unearth something so special is equal only to the sadness that the person that lost it felt. I can only imagine the people or perhaps it was the same person that lost those had they realized it at the time spent a lot of time on their hands and knees, crawling around in the tall grass! Lol Probably thinking, I sure wish someone would come up with a machine to find lost objects! Then you step into the picture over 200 years later with that very machine they were wishing they had that day. Lol. Thanks for another video, as always, enjoy watching.~Paul

Hi Paul, I totally love this comment and completely agree with you, must have been heart breaking to lose something so valuable and special. And like you say the FOB seal is one of the most stunning things I have ever found with a metal detector.
