Thanks Gareth for your kind words about my injuries ( bike and car). I'm spending my rest time to ring for more land permission.Meanwhile I'm enjoying your videos and Scottish Detectorist.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

No worries Michael, get well soon buddy

[@michaelwyatt1143]

Not so lucky this time Gareth. My 1889 Sovereign had Jubilee head. My luck has gone_ iwas knocked off my bike 17/5/23 broken neck, fractured skull, so no detecting for a while, but have your videos to watch . Thanks

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Michael, firstly I am very sorry to hear of your nasty accident, sounds terrible, but you are still here, which is the main thing, and broken bones will heal over time. You'll be back out detecting soon enough and you'll be excited after a bit of a break. Maybe not so lucky this time, but you know when you get out there every week, week after week knocking on the door, those special finds come up... AND on Sunday just gone (speaking of Sovereigns), I only went n found a 1904 Edward VII full Sovereign!!! Can you believe that?!

[@relicrat]

What an incredible site to pursue an incredible hobby!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello there, thanks for taking time out your day to watch this video. it really is a beautiful location. I was up there again yesterday, but it was very very overgrown. I may not visit that permission until autumn/winter now when it all dies back down. Certainly a special place for me though. Thanks again, and I hope to see you again on some of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth

Good day out Gareth. Though you may not have found much you still found stuff and it is beautiful there. Good luck on the next adventure. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

Hi Andrew, its definitely a stunning location and its a place which makes you work hard for finds. I can tell you I have had a tonne more luck on my next 2 hunts, 2 silver coins with Marcus when we spent 24 hours on the big green hillside. Then Sunday afternoon I had another one of those magical moments that just keep on happening this year... Gold coin number 3 and a bucket list gold and first for me

[@Steve-bx7ed]

Gday Gareth a thought on the black hole, if there are so many lead mines around its possibly a ventilation shaft to a mine. The adit ( mine entrance) could be at the base of the mound or hill unless its been filled in. The small drum thing you found could be a bobbin from an old sewing machine. It was wound with cotton and placed in a hole below the plate where the needle went through and a cotton reel was loaded over the top. When threaded and working the needle would push the cotton through the cloth and puck up the thread from the bobbin to make a stronger seam, i think. I think they also use the same principal on modern machines today. Hope this helps 👍👍

It always amazes me some of the fields you have with your permissions, it is like your digging on a fairway of a golf course lol. My fields at the moment are waist high with grass and I am waiting for the owner to do the yearly cut. Oh well, you cant win them all, need some new ground, beach again I suppose, tourists (or grockles as we call them locally) are starting to appear with the weather, but not really the finds I'm after. Have to do for now I suppose. As for your session, I know the feeling (like many of us), some days we just can't wangle anything to write home about out of the ground. Always the next time though ;-). All the best bud and luck for your next time.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, some of my permissions are also waist deep high, but its all about location. This place is very high, its exposed to the elements and doesn't really grow very fast. Plus more often than not there are sheep on there chomping away. It is awesome to have places that are detectable all year round. 100% of my permissions are 100% pasture fields so the summer months are harder for me. Love it when winter time comes around. Although in summer it is much easier to make nice KZbin films. Thanks as always for tuning in and supporting what I do. G

Alright G? , Lovely video, even if you had a quiet day out. Love to hear if you did any research on that monster button, wow! Just a quick tip, I know you love sensiFT, but on a quiet day I would deffo change it up , just to try and kickstart your finds.... couldn't hurt maybe?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, no I very rarely get any time to research anything, I've cleaned it up along with the finds but not had a closer look yet. It will end up in a box with hundreds of other buttons. Sometimes I up the sensitivity and drop the reactivity, but all this does is make the sounds a bit louder / amplified and makes targets feel bigger than what they are, which then makes it a lot more difficult to estimate what the target is. In my opinion the base program is optimal for the places I detect. But I do keep playing and comparing signals to see if I miss anything with Sensi FT

[@thegallowsdetectorists666]

Hi mate well that's a monster button and a nice spindle whorle to and the coin ball looks like my coin balls 😂 , well a few decent finds and it could be a well or an old lead mine shaft 😲 and as you say if you are not feeling it you could be in for a disappointing day but still great to be out there , nice one mate 👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi mate, it sure was nice to be out there, but man at the time I was so hot and sticky. When I get like that, its so draining and tiring when you working really hard to find signals, then digging up lumps of lead. Its a hobby that is made for tough people, and I'm not that tough haha.

Hi there, thank you so much, amazing videos. One question as a complete newbie, if you find anything from coin to button to piece of lead, do you have to offer it to the landowner?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello Nick, welcome to my channel, thank you for visiting today and for taking the time to watch this video. Also, welcome to the hobby of metal detecting, perhaps the most fascinating and unique hobby out there. That is a great question. Technically everything we find belongs to whoever owns the land. I find it beneficial to be transparent with landowners and always show them my finds. This builds a bond and shows trustworthiness. Very rarely do landowners ask to keep any of the things I find. But in recent months I did have to pay 50% of the value of a gold coin to the landowner in order for me to keep it.

Well to me but what are those mounds of dirt in middle of no where in a line.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello, thank you for watching my video, it is really appreciated. The mounds are piles of earth excavated from old lead mines, probably from the mid 1700's. I must admit, from the sky they look really interesting don't they? Its a great place to metal detect, I'm sure there is something amazing waiting in the ground here

Where do you keep all your old pennies?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello there, firstly thanks for visiting my channel and watching this video. In the 8 long years I have been metal detecting, I reckon I have found several thousand old pre decimal pennies. The best ones which are in beautiful condition get waxed and displayed. The rest live in big sweet tubs on a shelf in my garage. I've never really known what to do with all the old coins I do not display. It would seem a shame to weight them in for scrap copper and have them melted down.. Thanks again and I really hope to see you again on one of my many other metal detecting videos. Gareth

[@STEFFAN-ee3oh]

@@TheDukesOfDerbyshire maybe you can donate them to collectors

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

@@STEFFAN-ee3oh yes maybe, but most are not in very good condition at all. I will come up with somethin to do with them one day. Even if it means re-burying them somewhere

Great video once again any tips for someone starting out like me with the videos.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Owen thank you for the kind words. OK, these would be my tips, try to make the best quality content you and the kit you use are capable of. Try to upload as regular as possible. Try to make your videos engaging and not boring, cut out unnecessary stuff. Come across as passionate and enthusiastic, try to do something different to other channels. There are more metal detecting channels on KZbin than ever before, all competing for the same pool of viewers. Always try to be positive and don't broadcast anything negative (a lesson I have learned). The thumbnail and video title are the key to how successful a video will be, so try to pay particular attention to them. The longer you can keep people engaged on your channel, the better your channel will perform. Its extreme hard work, extreme dedication and extremely slow going in the beginning stages. I'm almost 4 years into my channel and I've only got 10,500 subscribers, which might seem like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, its pretty puney. If you get it right and do well, it can be incredibly lucrative, my channel is generating about £300 a month at the moment, which is pretty amazing and helps me maintain my channel, buying kit n what not. Hmm I think I about covered my thoughts here, but I am by no means an expert at all, if I was I'd have 10,000,000 subscribers haha. I hope this helps you out. Above all, just good old fashioned HARD WORK. Gareth

Thank you very much!!! 🙂

Hello & Greetings to you in wonderful Mexico. I once visited Tijuana for 3 days during my amazing roadtrip across America. I thank you for supporting my channel and I hope to see you again soon. Gareth

[@malcolmmorton989]

Is the Deus your preferred machine ?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Malcolm, thank you for coming along to my channel and watching this video. I have been metal detecting over 8 years now and I can confirm the Deus2 is the best machine I've ever owned and ever used. I started with a Garrett ACE 250, quickly upgraded to the extremely heavy AT Pro (great machine by the way). After 3 years I went for the XP ORX, I used this for 4 years finding 4 gold coins, the gold FOB seal and countless silver coins. But the Deus2 is on another level, I've had 3 gold coins with it and half a dozen hammered silver coins. Its lightweight and the audio is superior, yes it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Thanks again and I hope to see you on my next metal detecting video. Gareth

[@shaneelvy9037]

Awesome video Duke. You on 1.0 for the Deus 2 now?

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi there Shane, this video was filmed 2 weeks ago. I updated my D2 the day after and took it out for the first and second times at the weekend. Felt great for me and had no problems at all. I found 2 silver coins on the Saturday, but unbelievably late on Sunday afternoon I found another gold coin!!! Not deep, not difficult, any machine, any Firmware would have found it, but fck me that's 3 gold coins in 2023 and I cannot believe it!!

What was the round lead piece with a hole?

[@thetoffeedigger]

Spindle Whorl

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello there, that is a very good question and one I may never be able to answer. Usually when something has a hole in it then it was tied to something. It could have been worn as a pendant (unlikely) or used as a whirligig when tied to some string. The joys of metal detecting and the great unknown. Thanks so much for watching. Gareth

Thanks mate, I played the title and thumbnail a bit on this one just to see if I could draw a few extra viewers in, and it seems to have worked haha. Catch ya on the next one dude. G

[@jasonrainsbury2828]

I would think a well .But what's at the bottom .

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hi Jason, its just full of rocks, I reckon its been filled in to stop people or animals from falling down to the bottom. Its definitely an interesting and bizarre feature to have in the middle of a field. I looked on many different old maps, no well is present, only lead mines! You gotta love this hobby. Thanks for watching. G

[@jorgeperezdeprado8941]

Probably a water collector from back in the day for sheep or catle.

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello, thank you very much for coming along and watching this video and for offering your thoughts on the mystery hole. Maybe in winter time this fill sup with water? I've looked on old maps and there is no sign of any wells here. Fascinating hobby! Thanks again. Gareth

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Can't have been easy in those temps, but you found a few nice things. The whole area looks very interesting, guessing the hole is a wall or shaft? Let us know if you find out!

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Hello there, I mean it wasn't boiling hot, but 20 degrees in the UK with no wind or breeze and when your working hard can be very tiring and draining. No conclusive answer yet, also there's no well on the old maps so I have ruled out a well. Is is a very interesting feature though. Thanks for coming along to my channel and watching. Gareth

68 f degrees is warm? Lol.. don't come to Texas then. It was 86 f today

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

It was around 20 degree's, with no air, no breeze, very hot sticky conditions. Its a different kinda heat to what you get. I was in Death Valley in September 2019, it reached 47 degree's Celsius, but it was totally bearable, although I wasn't hiking and metal detecting haha. You get a much drier heat.

[@greyhound0z]

Can't win them all mate

Hi there, definitely not, but I can assure you I was back to winning ways on Sunday. I've done it again, a 3rd gold for 2023 with the Deus2, my mind has been blown yet again!!! Thanks so much for tuning in and watching. G

Hi Jayne, hahah I know 20 degree's isn't baking hot, but it is a different kinda heat as Allister said. No air, no breeze, carrying all my kit and working hard, it is very draining and tiring. It is usually always windy here, but man it was a beautiful day :) Thanks as always for tuning in and watching this softy haha. G
