Hi! I am 28 and I’ve been wanting to metal detect for a few years now. I have just bought my first kit and I’m so excited. I’ve contacted a few farms in my local area to see if I can be allowed permission. I would love to come out with you and learn from you all about this peaceful, wonderful hobby. I’m from Nottinghamshire so not far from you. What do you think?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

@@jdicky2020 hi, if I was a full time detectorist, I'd happily meet up with folk for tuition sessions and things like that. But I work all week and have family commitments at weekends. I get little to no time to go metal detecting. The only small time I get is all dedicated to my KZbin channel. Things may change in the future though 🍻

[@jdicky2020]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshirethanks for your reply! That’s completely understandable we all live a busy life! If only we all had more time! If there is ever any opportunity to come out with you please do let me know! I’d love the chance! Thanks again!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

@@jdicky2020 no worries, I always reply to comments, another time consuming part of my channel haha. But I enjoy chatting to peopel who watch and comment. Maybe we can work something out in the future

What an amazing handful of old coins there Gareth! Thanks for letting me come along on another adventure in your home land! Mike in sunny Florida

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Mike, yeah mate was an amazing session, love metal detecting places like this. Doesn't happen very often though. Thanks as always for dedicating time from your life to watch my channel. G

[@TroyTempest0]

Great vid Gareth and nice to see what Spring was like.... "half yer KZbin moneh ...." "what moneh ?" loved it !😄

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Troy, yeah it was a very pleasant spring day that back in 2022. Haha yeah believe it or not my channel currently generates around £250 a month from KZbin ad revenue. This is one of the reasons I work so hard on my channel. If I could get 100,000 views on every video I uploaded, I would not have to go to work and could become a full time detectorist. That's the dream

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Great haul of coins there Gareth. Congrats on getting onto a silver in amongst all those coppers. Great spot. Catch you on the next. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Andrew, thanks for coming along, definitely a great spot to metal detect, I wish this was my permission. Thanks for the channel visit. G

[@scottwoolner4698]

I love places like this Gareth....can't beat a good old coin shoot 👌👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, yeah really really good fun coin shooting like that. I kept saying one of us would find a gold coin sooner or later, but it never happened! I'd love to go back there, but never got an invite again

[@stephenibberson4834]

Awesome day 👍 love coin 26 Eddie 7th stunning detail and a cheeky Victoria sixpence ❤

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Stephen, yes that Edward VII penny was in awesome condition and was a lovely colour. I very much hope the landowner enjoyed it as I donated the lot to them. Thanks as always for your comments and support. G

[@sammiles849]

A brilliant hunt, can't beat a ton of coins, some great finds including that lovely little silver sixpence, can't wait to find another one. Hope you and the family are well, keep it up

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Sam, yeah this was awesome, proper good fun and in lovely warm spring weather. Would love another bash on here

[@sammiles849]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire definitely more coins on there, love fields with tons of coins on them, so enjoyable

[@Notchedto11]

Come back Spring time warm mornings! Lovely revisiting a nice part of the year, with good company in Andre! Don't think I have ever had anything like the amount of coins you found there, and pleased you winkled out a silver in the end! Your presentation skills have come on loads since this was shot mate, you should be proud of yourself! Have a top week x

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, thought I'd reply to this one straight away as you hit the nail on the head there. When I was editing this I thought this is rubbish and my intro n outro looked awkward as hell. Its all about been confident, or at least pretending to be confident in my case 🤣 Thanks for your warm comments. I will reply to your other comments sooner or later. Replying to every comment is becoming a monumental and never ending part of my channel. Love you

[@thegallowsdetectorists666]

Hi mate , well a shed load of coins in this episode and a nice bit of silver to save the day mind you i would have been happy with all those coins and no silver ! it's always good when you are finding decent coins all over the place and not just trash or nothing at all ! , good video pal hope all is good ATB Rob 👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, yeah this was an epic days digging but after 6 hours and tonnes n tonnes of coppers, you know full well there are silvers there n it gets frustrating haha. Amazing location to detect, I did not get another invite unfortunately. Thanks as always for the visit. G

[@TreasureIrelandMetalDetecting]

Some amount of coins! Well done to get a silver mixed in. Bag seal was deadly too. Enjoyed that one! 😊

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, it was an awesome array of coins, I left almost all of them with the landowner. Great place to detect, and I'd love to go back. Thanks for watching. G

[@DianeLong-fv4vm]

Amazing finds Gareth may we all dance the gold dance😅

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Diane, thank you, not done a gold dance for very nearly 1 year. Was very lucky in 2023 finding 3 gold coins. But you never know in this hobby, we are always only ever potentially 1 hole away from gold. Thanks so much for watching. G

[@delsmith7725]

Enjoyed that Gareth. Never seen so many coins. Lovely little seal as well. Nice to see you with a pal too. Great filming as always 👏

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, this was my 2nd time on this place, I found just as many if not more on the previous visit. 100% a gold Sovereign on there somewhere. Thanks as always for you comments and support. G

At last, a silver coin.Nice as well. I had an Edward 1st hammered last week. It really makes your day.Also had a Charles 2nd twopence, but poor condition. Anyway, good one Gareth

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Michael, yeah that was a hard fought silver coin. On my last visit here, I had 6!! Would love another swing on here but not been invited again. Congrats on your exceptional finds there

[@shooterjohn7163]

Garett, so many coins too bad that can’t happen everyday. I managed a gold $2.5 coin the other day from under a sidewalk that was being replaced. I’m glad you got the silver. Cheers John

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi John, yes it would be awesome to find this many coins every time. Days like this are very few and far between. Wow congrats on your exceptional find 2.5 dollar gold coin, top bucketlister right there. Thanks for watching

[@Dannysbirdshed]

Great video, I will never get tired of digging up big green penny’s

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, thanks, yeah nothing like a pre-decimal coin shoot! This place is loaded with copper coins. I firmly believe there will be a Victorian Sovereign on there somewhere. Thanks as always for watching. G

[@adztaylor2277]

Nice haul of pre-decimals there bud. There had to be at least one silver amongst that lot, and you proved there was. All the best to you both and HH.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, yeah that was one of the hardest fought silver coins I've ever found. We were there a good 6 or 7 hours. Amazing place to metal detect. Thanks as always for watching. G

[@BMW7series251]

Thanks for reshowing this Gareth. I wonder why so many pennies were dropped in that field?! Cheers, John.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi John, this isn't a replayed video or a re-uploaded video. I have a hard drive with several other days filmed but never got round to editing. When I have no content, I take something from the hard drive. Keeps the content coming and keeps uploads consistent. We believe they used one of these fields as a football pitch in Victorian times. They obviously had a lot of coins and a lot of holes in their pockets haha

[@jamesaitchison3750]

what a day Gareth amazing , and just one lovely silver there is more to find in this field thanks again cheers

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi James, I found 7 silvers here on the previous visit. I've no doubt there will be many more, but there has not been a 3rd visit, never got an invite again, in fact I don't think I heard from Andre again

[@northdevondetectorist]

Trying to catch up with videos Gareth but with everything happening at the moment with moving and been ill. A great video as always mate with plenty of coinage and a nice silver Victorian coin. And that bag seal was awesome. Until the next one take care.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi John how are you doing, has the house move all gone OK? Thanks for the visit, this was a great session, don't get many days like this!!

[@northdevondetectorist]

One silver makes the day, i found a 1947 half crown and was as rusty as your 1848 another fabulous episode ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Gary, yes got to be happy with a little silver coin. On the previous visit I found 6 silver coins and a silver brooch. I've not been invited back and I don't blame Andre

[@MetalDetecting-Eastern]

Very interesting! I once found several One Penny 1910 coins at the site of a WW1 German military camp.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi thanks very much for visiting my channel and for watching this video. That's cool that you found some British coins in Germany. I once found over here in the UK a 1930's big silver coin with a nazi swastika on it. One of my most interesting coin finds ever

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

What awesome old coins, Gareth! Congrats on the beautiful Vicky silver!❤

Flipping heck Gareth that's some coinage right there 🤣👍🏻👍🏻 fair play. All I found today was 4 scabby Georgian and maybe a Victorian coin but can't tell as they are that knackered! 🤣🤣

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, yeah this was a crazy day of coin shooting. I found even more the 1st time we visited this place. I need to get back on here, its been almost 2 years since I was there last

[@HelluvaHazbinfan33]

Great Video Gareth, I would say that the Edward VII penny that you have found at 9:51 looks to be uncirculated. Its just green from corrosion but great finds! Keep it up

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Julia, thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. Yes it was in exceptional condition. I think I gave it the landowner, not sure. Hope to see you on my next episode. G

Nice little coin haul. Lovely silver but check your EdwardVII for the open 3 in the date. If it is an open then it is one of the rare ones.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Brian, thanks, it was an epic haul of coins, all of which I donated to the landowner, so I'll never know about the Edward VII. Thanks as always for coming along, I hope to see you on my next episode. G

[@markbragg4656]

I'm wondering if you are detecting a cut down forest. Very often these types of coins were placed in the hole on planting for good luck to the tree.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Mark, these small fields belong to a Georgian Hall, so have 200 years of activity. Football and cricket were played here for most of this time, so lots of people here and lots of coins dropped over the years. These types of places are always loaded with coins :) Thanks again and I hope to see you on my channel again

[@WeDigIt]

Great dig! So many coins, you grow tired of filming them, awesome!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there, yes this was a proper coin fest and I sure did get fed up of filming them all, especially as they were almost all Victorian pennies and half pennies. I appreciate finding them though, but left them all with the landowner to enjoy. Thanks for watching

Great video, as always. So many coins.. Not sure if this was an old video or if you just put 2022 by mistake? Well done on the silver.. I've been out Saturday and Sunday this weekend, only found one pre decimal.. a lovely 1865 penny.. amazing condition.. that's it though!!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, thanks, yeah what a place to detect this is, unfortunately not my permission and didn't get another invite. This was indeed filmed back in Spring 2022, but has sat on a hard drive with several other unedited days. When I have no content, I use something on the hard drive as backup. It helps to keep the content coming and help with consistency

[@danielt879]

@TheDukesOfDerbyshire It's a shame you didn't get another invite, but it's a great idea to have some videos as backup. Love your content, so it's nice to have a steady stream of it lol 😀👍 Take care.

Why do you swipe over contacts quickly? Surely slower would be more accurate?

Hi, the XP Deus2 is super fast, in these settings and on land like this it is not necessary to swing slow. If I was using so called "deeper" settings, then it would be advised to swing slightly slower. I know this machine will hoover everything up on this property no problem at all.

Hi Gareth i was wondering in your next video if i could get a shoutout ive always watch your videos and metal detect myself with the time i can get i found only 3 silver coins and lots of old copper but do u have any suggestions on where the best places are to gets old coins like George III or Victorian

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi, I potentially can, but I might forget. I don't even know your name? Any old farmland will produce old Georgian copper, silver and occasionally gold coins. But you need to be using a good metal detector and you need to know what you are doing and what that metal detector is telling you
