A sword, an axe and Roman silver with the hoard hunter!!! 🤩

At last the Roman field has dried out enough to get out with the hoard Hunter.
Things don’t quite go as expected when I end up finding a sword from 2,000 years and an iron axe head and it’s Albert who hits the ROMAN SILVER!!

My dad found a Roman hoard in 1996, the Patching Hoard. I've been showing him your videos. He's 85 now and can't do it anymore so he enjoys watching you!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Best wishes to your dad! Wow 🤩 22 Roman gold coins plus silver Roman coins and bits and pieces… what a discovery!!!

[@lindaunderwood7840]

@@thescottishdetectoristThanks. It was valued at £30,000 then, before the gold price went up, and before you had to give half to the landowner so they split it 3 ways. It's in Worthing museum if you're passing!

[@2true359]

Patching hoard The Patching Hoard, West Sussex Discovered in April, 1997, and excavated in April and May of the same year, this hoard of coins in southern Britain yielded 47 gold and silver coins along with rings and several pieces of silver bullion.

So incredible. Best wishes to your adventuresome dad.

As Cleg would say "EPIC !!!”

Maybe a dagger because its so thin and straight, but Clegg isn't going to be happy with you pulling swords out of the ground with his equipment...good God John, this is incredible

Bronze Age dirk, wow, field of dreams!! I wonder how much we all miss without a hoard hunter?!! Well found. Thanks for sharing.

[@denalinde]

As an American, it’s absolutely fascinating to see your finds. I’m glad y’all have been finding such a variety of items lately, because although I know you lot dream of a horde, it’s more interesting to me to imagine the amazing spectrum of inhabitants of the same plot of land over thousands of years interpreted from a few lost belongings. Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor with us all. 🙏🏻🗡️🪙🪓🏺

[@markjohnnojohnson5352]

16:13 it’s a BLOODY SWORD!😂 never fail to make me laugh lol😂 your finds are on another level mate!!

Super terrific finds, guys! Thanks for bringing us along with you.

Much appreciated Andrea. Glad you enjoyed

[@billypotts1327]

Looks like an ideal size of a dagger, broken at the hilt. Great find whatever it is... we laugh when Albert tips up, he seems to be very lucky 😄

[@terryt.1643]

John, I’m watching this from California, I love watching you pull the different things out of the ground, telling us what they are and teaching us the history of Scotland...

[@louiezenti8631]

Nice finds…a silver Roman and a Bronze Age letter opener…lol!

[@capecoddiggerzmetaldetecti5718]

Amazing finds yet again! Love the patina on the sword/spear looks ancient for sure! The hot streak continues, can't wait for more finds!

Just excellent! How thrilling to find a bronze sword! I'd be scanning the area around it hoping to find the rest of it. That was once some warrior's prized high status possession!

went out detecting for the first time today.....found two coins in our forest....very exciting....not old but fun to dig.

I watch you from Massachusetts .Very enjoyable videos ! Thank you !

[@sirdigsalot]

Very nice to see the AT PRO digging Roman silver lol

[@MrNicosuisse]

what a great find! I've found dagger blades before but never a sword. From my modest knowledge of the subject it seems to me that you have found the point of a sword which can be dated to 800 BC. I have a few books dealing with the subject, including drawings and photos. According to these sources you've discovered a little less than half of the sword...keep digging and digging, the rest of the blade and maybe the pommel should be nearby. Congratulation !

[@Flint-I]

Could be much earlier my friend ,Bronze age go's back to 2500BC.Not saying this is ,but there is usually continuity through Neolithic Bronze and into the Roman crossover from Iron Age and sometimes later into Saxon and so on. All according to what part of the country your located. H😊

What an incredible find! The colors are stunning. And bronze. Wow. Just wow!

Oh, and we all talk to ourselves using your accent, so there's that too. Jammy swine. Wee rub-a-dub with the bendy thumb.

[@christywerpy63]

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Haha 😂 and a ring that makes me disappear would be great too 😂

[@rhettoracle9679]

I'm no expert on Roman anything, but the blade looks like either a dagger that snapped at the hilt or a spear tip. Great video and finds! Cheers from New Orleans

Exciting when a deep ploughed field has potential to give up its hoards. West Country Clegg is a great channel! “ Good afternoon my Lovers!” Hoping that you uncover some epic finds with the deep detector!

[@adztaylor2277]

I would say dagger fragment. Cracking silver roman, there must be a hoard around there somewhere surely, keep up with the hoard hunter. Field of dreams for sure. All the best John and of course Albert. Good luck.

[@AdamCeladin]

I would say its early Bronze Age dagger! EPIC found brother

Nicely done guys I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for watching Fred much appreciated

[@colinsmith8584]

Loving your channel! Great Britain has got to be about the best place in the world for metal detecting and finding historic items. Since you guys have not had a modern war fought over all your land like the rest of Europe, must be a lot less junk to sort through in the soil. Congrats on the sword tip, amazing!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Colin. Perthshire within Scotland has a phenomenal history and I’m blessed with some great sites. As for the junk unfortunately I’m not that lucky…. But it’s worth picking through all the bad stuff for the good!!

[@Christine_J]

😮😮😮 Way to go!! Absolutely amazing find!

[@davidmathews2124]

Yeah…I’d vote dagger as well. What a gorgeous color! Museum worthy.

[@isaiahpetersen]

Truly incredible find! You are uncovering important historical items. Thanks so much for sharing with us. I get excited about the fields of perthshire now 😂

[@mysongs740]

Way to go on the sword find! I was so excited for you! Congrats to Albert for his first Roman silver. It's a beauty! I don't think your subscribers would mind if maybe you used the deep detector and marked a lot of spots, then record you digging the holes for the find. That way you wouldn't have to spend as much time setting up the tripod or dragging it around. As you dig, you could tell us if you tried the other metal detector, if it found the signal and if it picked up what it measured. Just a suggestion to try and make it easier for you.

[@WestCountryClegg]

I'm very relieved that you actually found something with it😂 I was worried that all you were going to find was tin cans and iron. But you found a nice axe head that you could re-purpose and and an amazing Spearhead

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for lending me it Cleggy. It’s been a learning curve and a work out digging the holes!! But glad finally I got two things!! Many thanks

[@nickharmer3049]

Another interesting one buddy. I'd have been made up with the spear tip, or sword end.. Well done to Albert as well, getting his first Roman silver. Bless up 👊

[@baileyboo9788]

Me too👍😀

[@Allegory_of_Wolves]

Such fun again watching your video!! Congrats to the very cool finds! 😃👍 About the sword, I wonder if it's maybe a dagger instead? Even for just the tip of a sword, it looks somewhat too slim to me. But I'm no expert; these are just my random thoughts. It's, either way, an incredible find!! To dig up something that must be so very old... My imagination always runs wild about who might have owned these things and how they ended up there. I wish, we could time-travel! 😅

WOW!! That spear tip or sword tip is the true star of the day! That is magnificent John, well done!! I bet the folks at the Scottish Museum would be very interested in seeing that wonderful treasure.
