Good evening Alexander, Fantastic video as always very informative and stunning finds. You have some amazing fields. Thank you very much for sharing

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Not at all; thanks for watching!

[@fiberotter]

The brooch is amazing! Keeping the pin does not happen often. That was a great day detecting with all the various finds. And a peek at Tasci added to it. I hope you are having a great spring, Ally. Ours is amazingly wet and cool. Only a couple of really hot days. Next week they are promising heat. Ick.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

The weather is a bit crazy here Cyndye... 4 seasons in one day most of the time..! Hope all well all the same!

What a wonderful field.

[@garysmith1178]

Great finds Alexander 👍 I've found a few roman brooches including a Colchester type ... but none had the pin in them. As you say, the finds don't have to be blingy... and that buckle is a beaut. Well saved 👏 👏👏

Thanks Gary and soory not to gte back sooner - hope all well!

Love Roman brooch, the mystery piece and ring thimble. The unusual buckle is stunning, and a romantic to end on fantastic. Well done Alex and cheers from Kangaroos Island, South Australia.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks Jayne and hope all well down there!

[@michele5327]

Love the brooch w/ pin intact WOW. I like the piece that is a mystery,kind of heart shaped? I think it's old too! Bluebirds making nest #2, more babies coming to North Florida- cheers.

@@HolzHammerSagasawesome up here hard work though 15 hour days Alex but all I think is about my day off to go out detecting oh I did find a George V 1911 coin and the detail is quite good considering take care ok all the best Claire

[@robertwhittingham2855]

Another great video, Alexander. Was out on my permission this week and had two lovely finds. A silver penny of John of Evesnes and a rather bent Offa penny. I will be sending the Offa penny to Alan Smith of Essex Coins for restoration. Will be off to Mauritius soon for a couple of weeks, so no detecting.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I hope you have a good rest Robert, Lucky you and sorry not to have got back to you sooner!

[@edwardjames4517]

Another enjoyable video,thankyou.The hooked clasp that you thought was Victorian is actually 17thC.I also follow Ellie's detecting channel and indeed a breath of fresh air as you mentioned,as is yours.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks for that Knowledge Edward I shall now take a closer look at it! All the Best, Alexander

[@Michelledetecting]

Great video Alex, love the fibula 🤩 I learn so much from you back at headquarters. You should definitely do videos showing all your fibulas and other finds. Will be fascinating to see them all xx

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Thanks Michelle! Hope all well and that you are finding a bit! x

[@carolcoutinho8777]

Great with the pin still attached!

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I know Carol, amazing! x

[@Wally-H]

That dress hook you found is probably Tudor, it's a fab find and in my view should be added to your list of cracking finds for the day! That type of hook was only really used up to the 1600's, it's older than you probably think. I've found a couple (including a gold one) so I know a little bit about those.

[@AussieAl420]

G'day, Alexander. Wow another great day. Love the look of that old bronze buckle the rare one. Must feel so special finding those awesome bits of history. Good to see Tasc, hope all is well. It is starting to cool down here.✌️👍🦘🇦🇺🦘

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I really love finding odd bits like that Allan - quite intriguing ... hope all well!

[@OriginalMudSlinger]

it may be harness fitting and with the hearts i would say norman. great finds mate well done

[@HolzHammerSagas]

It could well be OMS thanks for that!

[@nicolapotter4627]

Just wanted to say another fabulous video & I also love the HQ parts. Agree that Hattatt books are exceptional & also love finding roman fibula brooches. I wish my permissions were that lovely sandy soil, so much easier to deal with!! I'm based in Gloucestershire so am also blessed with fabulous areas to detect. Looking forward to the next video - happy hunting 😀

[@MikeWallis-cy5lf]

Hello Alexander, Thanks for the many videos that you produce for us! I am often surprised my the many objects, particularly from Romans, that are found in various fields. Do you think that it was often the case, that the original owners simply lost the objects in that particular field or threw them away? Some (or a few) will indeed have been buried with the intention to return and collect them at some time in the future... Regards Mike

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Hi Mike and thanks for watching! I often wonder on the origins of these coin finds and can only think part of it is that you must rmember that the Roman s were here for the best part of 400 years so had plent of time to lose the odd thing that we find now...Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander

You need a little poking tool to help get rid of the caked soil. A cut down pointed Japanese style chop stick works for me. Once again you a on fire with your finds.

amazing and thanks for sharing. so over the first deus? take care and rock on

Will do BC - Love "rock on"! There was a comedian over here who used to say "Rock on Tommy"! I was thinking about him only yesterday! 😁 Hope all well

[@thewillowsapprentice]

The heart thing looks reminiscent of a wolf's head to me- could it be Viking? Just my impression 😊

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Yes could be... dsomeone also suggested Norman which would not be far off either... Hope all well!

[@geoffmiller-1740]

Hi. You have been using the Deus 2 now for a while now. I would love to know what you think the main differences are compared to the Deus 1.Ive been using the mk1 for about 8 years. Thankyou.

[@HolzHammerSagas]

I think the power is the obviuos difference but thats not necessarily a good thing in my opinion Geoff - I didnt like it when I ramped up the sensitivity and reactivity etc... I have it now as close to the deus 1 as i have managed and i lik e it that way - and it does punch a bit harder in pasture.

@@HolzHammerSagas I like it looks very comfortable , should you come across a brand or a maker please do let me know all the best

[@Saxon_TAG]

I'm confused about which machine you're using. In the Title and part of the description you state Deus 2. In the Equipment used section it says Deus I (lite). Which is it? 😄

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Sorry thats prob my fault for not changing the description it sometimes takes me days to edit these films believe it or not; I sometimes cut corners at the end at copy and paste a bit - sorry agin - I use the 2 but oreviously the LITE 👍

[@Saxon_TAG]

@@HolzHammerSagas Awesome, I got the Lite 2 days ago after a 2 year break of not detecting. Channels like yours convinced me to get a Deus 2
