That’s a great permission, some great stuff coming up

[@CrosbyCollects]

Thanks buddy, it certainly is, very lucky! Thanks for your comment - Jake :)

[@michaelwyatt1143]

Keep doing this field, year after year. I've been doing one particular field for 25 years & still turning silver hammered up.Fantastic finds for you. Thanks again.

[@CrosbyCollects]

Ha! Thats brilliant! 25 years and its still bringing stuff up, crazy!!! Ill be sure to keep at it! Thanks for your comment and for watching Michael!

[@muzzychuck]

My AccuPoint goes a bit daft now and then too, but there's no need to power it off. Just dab the power button and it'll rebalance and start behaving 👍 Another great video, mate. Some cracking bits and pieces.

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@muzzychuck good to know! I spend so much time turning the damn thing off! 😂 Thanks for your comment buddy 😁👍🏽

[@jeffholmes1362]

Nice little video, always good to see a hammered or two. Well done 🇦🇺

[@CrosbyCollects]

Thanks Jeff, appreciate the support! From England to down-under, thank you! :D

[@davidtalbotclarke]

Definitely a fragment of a purse bar frame! Nice find. The notches / holes are where the cloth would have attached to the frame 😃

Some awesome finds again, loving the silver coins

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Love it!!!

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@KellyDraper-ej7dl thank you! Super happy with the way this dig went! 👍🏽😁

[@Aethelred]

The item you describe as a nail/hair clip is a medieval lace chape.

[@paulhunt1072]

I was thinking that aswell.

[@CrosbyCollects]

Brilliant thank you, it’s a peculiar little object. From what I have just read online a Lace chape is similar to a strap end? Used to stop fabric from fraying? Thanks again! 😁

[@Aethelred]

@@CrosbyCollects Welcome and yes, similar function to the plastic on the end of our bootlaces.

[@ShauneinKent]

Another great video just goes to show dig all iffy signals keep them coming and video coming soon ok keep an eye out shaune in Kent 👍

Cheers Shaune! Exactly that mate, couldn’t believe it when it actually produced something on a live! Eagerly waiting for your first video 👍🏽😁

Wow what good finds!! The hammered coins are in great condition

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

amazing condition!

[@CrosbyCollects]

Thank you Abby! :)

[@bwc1878]

Another excellent video and some fantastic finds, Jake. BTW, the object you thought might be a hairpin looks like it might be the pin off a Roman brooch to me, but that's just a guess. Keep up the great work!

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@bwc1878 thanks Marcus, it was a brilliant day, so nice to be able to get back onto this field again. Funnily enough another person commented the same thing about it being a fibula! Someone else also said it was a medieval lace chape! So who knows! 🤷🏽‍♂️ Thanks as ever for watching and supporting buddy! ❤️

[@bwc1878]

@@CrosbyCollects Maybe have a look on the PAS database to see if you can find anything comparable, Jake. Or just take a photo of it and drop it into Google Lens - it's amazing how often that can help identify finds 👍

[@Britishpeople1st]

First video i watched.Loved the video mate. You seem such an nice guy😂. Where are you digging? You definitely got a new subscriber which will watch ever video😂. What in the world was that American dime doing there. And you could definitely see a shield on that coin😮😂👍

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@Britishpeople1st Wow, what a nice comment to read, thank you that’s really nice of you to say! I dig on the south-coast of England 😁 I know right, a few people have said it likely belonged to an American soldier who was over here during the war and lost it! Thanks for subbing and watching! Look forward to seeing you in the comments section 😁

[@Hattersfan]

some great finds there, Well done

[@CrosbyCollects]

Thanks, it was an unbelievable day

[@TimHarris-x7y]

I started detecting 4 months ago and I’m fascinated by it Your one dime coin find is absolutely fascinating How could that happen? Did the same person lose both coins ? Surely it must been Great videos buddy

[@CrosbyCollects]

@TimHarris-x7y welcome to the hobby Tim! I trust you’re hooked on it! I think the exact same way as you, constantly question who, why, how, what… it’s a fascinating hobby that just keeps giving! Thanks for watching and all the best to you on your next hunt 👍🏽😁

[@mandybrown7758]

Oh wow you found a Barber dime incredible find, usually the coins were holed to sew into their garments so they were not lost or stolen. I still have not found a Barber here in America Congrats

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@mandybrown7758 Wow thank you for the info Mandy! I assumed it was worn as a pendant but that’s really interesting to know! Thank you for sharing and watching! - Goodluck to you finding your first Barber Dime 😁

[@D.Jetten]

The copper coin is from the Dutch city of Utrecht, a 'Duit', issued by the VOC, the Dutch East India Company. Good luck from the Netherlands

[@CrosbyCollects]

Thank you for your help with identifying the coin! Makes me wonder how and why thats ended up over here! Thanks again and hope you enjoyed the video.

[@D.Jetten]

@ I just started following you… great many thanks

[@steveshepherd2712]

Am fairly new subscriber and must say I enjoy your vids and your commentary is easy to listen to. The Barber dime would be 90% silver ( here in Canada our silver was 92.5% up till 1920). Nice to see those hammy's come up and maybe you would missed them if the whole field was open to you 😉🇨🇦

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@steveshepherd2712 Thanks Steve, that’s some really nice words to read. I try to make it as engaging and enjoyable as I possibly can, so pleased to see you’re enjoying it! Thanks for the info about the silver content, I wasn’t overly sure at what point it was changed in the US. Very true about the hammereds. Fingers crossed there’s many more lying in the veggies! 😁👍🏽

[@steveshepherd2712]

@CrosbyCollects 1920 was the year silver content changed because WW1 was so expensive the debt was crippling, here in Canada we dropped to 80% up till 1968 and then 50 % for half of 1968, now steel clad , the U.S. stopped silver in 1964. Finding foreign coins is always a blast and I was thrilled to find an Australian 50 cent piece here even though it is modern . Keep on digging amigo 😉

[@tehminty3527]

Love your videos uou keep it interesting mate and fresh. Matter of interest you using stock setting or could you do a quick view of your settings Keep it going Welldone K

Hello, I just use the Manticore standard settings. From the moment I got it out the box thats what I started swinging with, it seems to be working well so I have never changed it. Thanks very much for your kind words and supporting the channel! - Jake

Cheers Gary! 2nd one for me now, over the moon! Thanks for watching!

Hi buddy happy new year to you I noticed on your video where you found your gold stater I noticed that you had found a mount with a lion on it .I found the same thing on my permission in Norfolk it's a centurions sword belt mount

[@CrosbyCollects]

Good morning Bert! Interesting... If that is the case, its been aged quite a bit from what I had it down being a part of a Victorian Police uniform! Brilliant and thank you for your comment :D

@@lastplacetrophy3821 Hahaha just watched that back. What an idiot 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[@dm51964]

Superb. See if you can find out the field name and the farmer should know and it could be a big clue to what was going on there. The field names are normally on 18th Century Tithe Maps but many of them are far older

[@CrosbyCollects]

So i've had a little look online and it looks like the field was sub divided into 3 different names; Eastgrove Paddock Little Half Moon Great Half Moon Now you've got me hooked on finding out more!!! Haha! Thanks as always for your comment and support mate!

[@duncanmcnish8842]

I think you have a purse bar, the last find you showed.

[@Sayward82]

just a guess, are you somewhere up by norfolk/suffolk?

[@raymondberry9482]

Sorry to hijack the comments section again lol, but I think the “hairpin” is very probably the pin from a Roman Anular Brooch. It just doesn’t seem long enough to be a hairpin but would work on an Anular.

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@raymondberry9482 you’re always welcome in the comment section Ray, your knowledge is always appreciated! That’s amazing if it is a Roman Annular brooch pin! I rarely get Roman up on this permission so that’s awesome, thank you! Hope you’re well! I hope you enjoyed your mention! 😉 again, all learning for me from your comments - All the best mate

[@raymondberry9482]

@@CrosbyCollects I tell you what, if you haven’t already you need to thoroughly research the history of that field. With all the pot legs I reckon you’ve got an early settlement ground. Might be worth getting a local archaeological society to have a look and see if they can detect any evidence of post holes for early huts or houses on that land.

[@CrosbyCollects]

@ do you know how I would go about doing that, aside from the obvious? I’ve looked at old maps and google but nothing? Maps for that area go back to 1800’s. Further back from that are very generic, just making mention to the local towns etc and nothing in depth. The permission has had archeological digs on it before, unfortunately due to housing development potentially happening 😢 However I have no idea if this field has been. I’ll check with the farmer!

[@raymondberry9482]

@ find out if there is a local museum. They usually have lots of information going way back. Failing that you could try local libraries. They have old maps and would certainly have info on the local area and its uses over the years. There’s also a website (I can’t remember the name of it now) but it has maps going back 100’s of years of all areas and it overlays old maps onto new ones so you can see old footpaths and where old buildings used to be - but on a present day map. I’ll find out what the website is called and let you know.

@@StevieMoore-q3c thanks Steve, that’s amazing! The second I’ve found on the permission! Do you think it would have been worn around the neck as a pendant?

[@DanielShepherd-p4m]

American dime is called a Barber for the man who designed it. That’s lady liberty, although the looks like a he on the Barbers 🤣

[@CrosbyCollects]

@@DanielShepherd-p4m Well I’ve learned something new today! Thank you! You’re right though, had me fooled for a bloke! Thanks for watching Dan! 👍🏽😁

[@rhyshunter1972]

dont mind me just stamps on a hammered coin 😂😂😂

[@CrosbyCollects]

Hahaha, happens far too often!

[@Miko19691]

Is the soil in England acidic? In Finland, most soil and clay fields are acidic and it is toxic to old Swedish and Russian copper coins. A copper coin that is already 200 years old may be in poor condition. Coins are better preserved in sandy fields. Forest finds are more often in better condition than field finds.
