OMG Hans, a 3000 year old find and Its looks to be in great condition. Thank you for unearthing history, that has been lost in this case thousands of years. Take care my friend.
+silvertopaz72 isn't it stunning? and I was the first human to touch it again after all this time. . unforgettable! thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend, all the best, hans
It would be great to get some kind of a sequel to your tours, maybe where you and your archaeologists discuss the find and the place where you found it. Maybe it is possible to bring some finds in connection with the greater view of the region and its history, like the Spearhead. Would be great to see that, or maybe just hear it as a Podcast. Thank you very much for your videos! Just marvelous.
hello! I'm planning to hand on all information I will get about the finds as soon as I have them. unfortunately it is not possible to tell you about the place where I've found the relics as I would jeopardize the source. I would love to make a video together with an archaeologist and talk about the finds but I fear that most of them consider it to be inappropriate to be seen in a video together with a metal detectorist. maybe at some point in the future :) thank you for watching and for your kind comment!
The historical significance of the bronze spear point as explained by your archeologist would be an outstanding addition to this video. Thank you for your childlike enthusiasm and wonder concerning your finds. Excellent videography-- I like the brief interludes of nature.
"I can't take it anymore!" Haha, that's the best statement I have ever heard in a metal detecting video. Congratulations on a truly special discovery. You deserve it, for all your thoughtful and responsible detecting. May you have many more such opportunities to make the same statement.
+wadoman699 haha. . It's true. .this site is so nerve racking! thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend! I apreciate your kind words :) all the best, hans
Die Speerspitze - was soll ich sagen- einfach toll, toll, toll. Ich bin begeistert. Weiterhin tolle Funde wünsche ich Dir von ganzem Herzen. Und vor allen vielen Dank dafür, daß Du uns daran teilhaben läßt. Grüße Dirk
hallo dirk, es freut mich sehr, dass dir die speerspitze gefällt! ich bin überglücklich wie du dir vorstellen kannst :) vielen dank für deine netten worte und wünsche und danke auch, dass du meine videos anschaust!!! viele grüße, hans
As a fan of the Bronze Age, my head is flooded with questions and scenarios as to how it came to be where you found it. You are the first person to touch it in 3,000 years or more. Just wonderful.
it's always a riddle how finds came to the places where they are being found. I just hope I didn't destroy a burial.. I was digging without extra caution as the finds where exactly on an ancient track and I didn't assume archaeological features in a hollow way. fact is that bronze age people used to bury people at the sides of ancient tracks. I think the archaeologists would have told me when I handed in the find. thank you for watching!
I know I'm late to the party, but Wat a find!! I discovered your channel last night and have been watching your mini docs since!! They're very well done, professional grade. Love that I have 5 years of videos to check out!!
Hi TerraGermania Look forward to your adventures every week. Great finds again, but very impressed with your care for the environment. Both keeping the sound of the detector to the phones, but especially the care of the seedling trees. You deserve a medal. Thanks again for you videos. Tony
hello tony! thank you for your kind comment and for watching my videos! I', happy to hear you like them :) I love nature and I try to cause as less damage as possible :) all the best, hans
Amazing finds especially the bronze age spear head, I can't imagine how you felt. Thank you again for a wonderful video and such cool shots like with the ants :)
hello my friend, I'm glad you like my video :) thank you for watching it! I can't really describe my feelings when I realized what it was...It was pure excitement and fascination! thank you for your kind comment! all the best, hans
This is really a great find. I can imagine the thrill...If you only think for how long this thing has been laying there under ground waiting to be discovered and brough out to light. Lucky you. Congratulations!
+Ivana Vujanovic hello ivana, I'm happy you like the find too! It's amazing for me to find something like that! it could have lain there for 3000 years!!! thank you for watching and for your kind comment :) all the best, hans
+Esther Frasher hello esther, thank you my friend, that's very kind of you :) the spear head is indeed fantastic. . I can't believe I found something substantial like that! I will keep you posted about the age of the item! thank you for watching and for your kind comment! all the best, hans
+Exploring Alabama haha. . thank you my friend. . that's very kind of you! I think I just have found a fantastic site that has never been detected before :) thank you for watching and for your kind comment! all the best, hans
Perfect time of year to hunt in deciduous woodland before the plants grow too high on the forest floor and that was an awesome find indeed. You don't see a spear head from thousands of years ago come up every day. GL&HH
hello richard! I enjoy every second in these beautiful woods and It is like a short vacation! you are right about the forest floor. . I even thought about temporarily taking away the leaves in certain areas to grab more depths . . of course I would spread the leaves again afterwards as it is important for the trees and fauna...the spear is a very unique find for me!! thank you for watching!!!
Absolutely fantastic!! Thanks again for another wonderfully documented search. The spear head find is so exciting and I hope you find more. I appreciate your sharing of your metal detecting experiences. Good luck! Mark
hello mark, thank you my friend, I'm happy to hear that you like my video! the spear counts to the best finds I've ever made. thank you for watching and for your kind comment and wishes :) all the best, hans
+Paul Howie thank you my friend, I'm happy to hear you like it! i can make live digs in this area very easily as there is so little trash :) I'm very happy that I was able to capture this moment :) thank you for watching!!!
I'm happy to hear that my friend. It's a big compliment for me to hear that you enjoyed watching even several time :) the spear head definitely counts to the best finds I've ever made! thank you for watching!
I've literally watched this video more than 10 times just because of how excited you became when you found the spearhead. Very happy for you, brother. So, so, cool. Thank you for the videos.
cool! that's a big compliment! I feel a bit embarrassed when I re watch the scene. .haha. . I just couldn't help it! I was simply overwhelmed by this stellar find. thank you very much for your support bro! I appreciate it!
Fantastic find Hans! To think of all the history behind that spear tip is incredible. Congrats! Looking forward to seeing what else that forest has waiting for you. Thanks for sharing and the best of luck to you my friend.
+JoeDigsInPA finds like that normally come out of excavations. . to find a lost one is very rare. . I'm so happy and grateful :) thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend! all the best, hans
Thanks for your channel and all the hard work. So glad there are people who care about this stuff. You are lucky to be able to do this! Thanks again from North Carolina!!
What a fantastic day in the woods you had Hans, I am so amazed that your emotions come across so clearly in your videos, I could feel the thrill you felt finding that wonderful spearhead. I had to laugh because the birds singing in the video started the birds outside my window to break into song. You make some wonderful finds Hans, what next I wonder? Take care, good luck 🍀 and happy hunting, Mary-Ellen UK 🙋 👍
+M Johnson hello mary-ellen, it indeed was a fantastic day. . in so man ways! the weather was beautiful, the birds were singing and of course the finding of this unique spear head :) it's funny that your local birds reacted on the ones in my video :) thank you for watching and for your kind comment mary- ellen! all the best, hans
Congratulations Hans! A new chapter, for the area is all from you. Good work, and a great find for this video! Thanks for showing us. Good Luck, and Happy Hunting!
+Diggin With Dash I have the same feeling about this site. . I'm always so nervous when I switch on my detector there! thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend!
+Shiel Stark thank you for watching and for your kind words! I'm happy to hear that you felt the same joy like me when I found it. . .thank you for your kind comment my friend! all the best, hans
What a great hobby 👍🏻 One day, when I don’t have to work 12 hours a day anymore, I’ll maybe doing it too. We here in Germany/ Europe have a lot of History hidden in the ground. I’ve found several lead musket& even one small canon cartridges in my garden in the middle of Stuttgart.
it is a great hobby :) make sure that you detect according to the detecting laws in germany. you need a permission which you can obtain from the respective department of archaeology. thank you for watching!
I love watching your older episodes. When you found the spear head you reverted back to your childhood on Christmas Day…..that is if you celebrated Christmas. In any case your complete happiness spilled over to me, I was laughing with you. Cheers from 🇨🇦
I'm happy to hear you like my older videos, too and I'm happy that I could convey my happiness about the finding of the spear :) all the best and happy christmas, hans
Your video as are entertaining me greatly as I wait to begin my cancer radiation treatments , thank you for taking my mind off things . Keep finding these incredible treasures !
sorry to hear about your health situation. I'm glad to hear that my videos are distracting you from your worries. thank you for watching and for your kind comment! I wish you a full recovery and good health for the future! all the best, hans
Every time I see one of your videos I think, this is the best one. And then you come up with an even better one ... You take the hobby of metal detecting to a higher level ! Thanks for sharing your finds and impressions with us, Hans, ☺
+Oldfaithful61 haha. . I'm happy to hear that :) but there will come times where finds aren't as spectacular anymore. . that's metal detecting reality . . .thank you for watching my videos and for your kind comment! all the best, hans
haha. . these buttons can be quite annoying especially when you are expecting a different find :D .. but i like buttons as they are indicators of habitation and human activity which lead to the confidence that one could find something nicer as well.
@@TerraGermaniaTG :) I hear a few explanations for the number of buttons. The first is the clothes used to be dug into the soil because they were biodegradeable and improved soil texture. The other (and this applies mainly to military buttons) is that old uniform coats were sometimes given to farmers to help them cope with the elements. What are your thoughts on the subject please?
I think it's a bit of everything. most of the times of course buttons simply tore off as they are in an exposed position on clothing. another reason why household items like buttons, thimbles but also money ended up on fields is the fact that people of former times dumped their litter on fields to fertilize them. with this litter and especially with the sweepings lost items inadvertently ended up on the fields.
waww! Definitely this place is a bottomless pit of INCREDIBLE and amazing finds!! I still no have words!! And you're a very lucky man, Hans! Thank you so much for showing and sharing ; every time is a big emotion! especially when I hear .."it's still in the hole"....;-D I wish you to continue with the research , for the story about this very beautiful place! Bye, see you soon
+\ prof yes it is and it's so nerve racking to detect there as there could be anything under the ground in this area! thank you so much for watching my videos and for your kind comments my friend! I'm so happy that you like my videos! all the best, hans
Hi Hans. You are the star. fantastic condition of the spear head . Amazing finds and great video like always . Hopefully one day I will find something as good as your finds. Congratulations .....😊
+Roman Kasperczuk hello roman, thank you my friend, that's very kind of you! I'm very happy about this unique find :) i keep my fingers crossed for you to find your unique find. . thank you for watching!!!
Congratulations on the Bronze Age Spear. That is such an awesome find and well deserved! Thank you for sharing your excitement with us. It makes me want to shoot more videos of my finds here in the States.
finds like the spear tip normally come out of excavations... it's amazing to find one that has been lost thousand of years ago. an honor. . I don't take it for granted. thank you for watching!
+northender2006 It is an unbelievable feeling to hold something like that in your hands. . .3000 years of history! i will never forget that day! thank you for watching my friend!
+roadpanzir hello peter! thank you my friend, I'm happy that you like my video, the finds and the german forest :) thank you for watching and for your kind comment!!! all the best, hans
just imagine, the last person to touch that spear head passed away so long ago, I would so love to take up this hobby and I would be happy finding anything old or modern congratulations sir
we are talking about + - 3500 years here...It's a thought that is stunningly awe- inspiring and there is a certain energy jumping over from these items and it's causing shivers and goosebumps. these relics belong to the general public and it would be an awful crime to keep them or even sell them to end up in the private collection of some money bags somewhere in the world. my finds showcase is and shall remain youtube :) thank you for watching!
hello bill, haha. . thank you! that's a great compliment! It was one of my highlight moments of my detecting! thank you for watching and for your kind comment! all the best, hans
You have absolutely the best videos! Not just your finds, but the music, the photography...amazing. I really enjoy the background you give and how you display your days work.
thank you very much for your kind words about my videos! I'm happy to hear that you like them! thank you for watching and supporting! all the best, hans
Hans; You are on an amazing streak of fabulous finds! The Bronze Age spear is an incredible find and should be very helpful to the archeologists researching the ancient inhabitants of your area. Good luck topping that in future hunts! Thanks,Fred
hello fred, It's really great. . who know what will come next!? the archaeologists are very happy about the find and they have to evaluate the area in a completely new way. . thank you for watching and for your kind comment!! all the best, hans
Moin Hans. Wow was für eine schöne Speerspitze. Und auch noch sorgt erhalten. Wahnsinn. Die Arbeit macht sich doch bezahlt. Besonders wenn man ein so tolles Stück Geschichte in den Händen hält. Daumen hoch. Liebe Grüße Constantin / Lucky Treasure
+Lucky Treasure hallo constantin, sowas findet man eigentlich nur als grabbeigabe. . als verlustfund ist das wirklich was besonderes! es war einunfassbares gefühl das ding zu finden!!! danke für deinen besuch und für deinen netten kommentar :) liebe grüße, hans
hello david, I'm happy you like the finds. being the first human to hold such an artifact in my hands after over 3000 year is overwhelming and ineffable ... I'm so happy and grateful for this opportunity. thank you for watching and for your kind words!
WOW ,,,fantastic ! Hans .....congratulations on the spear head,,,and taking us along with you on a great day out,,,joined your channel ,,,,you have good finds !,,,me and my friend simon had old gold last week !..
+Ian Clay hello ian, thank you my friend. . I was also short of words when I pulled the spear out of the ground. . . thank you for watching and for your kind comment! all the best, hans
You are get me excited watching your findings. I can't wait to visit Germany again. My favorite country by far outside of my country (USA). The gold ring you found was really very special. I would love to hear more about it and the bronze spear tip!! Please keep up the good work sir.
I'm happy to hear that :) thank you for watching and for your kind comment! the finds I made on the excavation are still being examined and I will let you all know about the result in a special video as soon as I have them. one note about your next visit. metal detecting is subject to strict laws in germany. please be aware of that, I don't want you to get in trouble with the police. all the best and greetings from germany, hans
TerraGermania Yes sir, when I visit i certainly wont be able to bring a metal detector. There are so many things above ground in Germany that I have not seen that I will be too preoccupied to metal detect. Thanks for explaining the law for me as well.
haha. . yea that's indeed strange. it generally was a mystical day. holding this ancient weapon in my hands was ineffable. thank you for watching m videos :)
Hans, what a superb and historically significant find my friend, AWESOME!. Great video again and Im sure theres plenty more exciting finds to come from the area, well done and HH. Andy
That site.....again (just like your amazing field) It has great stuff from so many different periods of time! Roman, mediëval, 1600-1800's and now bronze age aswell...Crazy that a site holds so many different relics. Can't wait till your next video to see what is still in the ground there. Great video again Hans, congrats!
+Digging History It's the most exciting site. . I can imagine to find everything there! this site really makes me nervous :D thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend! all the best, GL&HH! hans
I miss detecting this place! the official excavation is over and I haven't got the permission to continue there. sadly the night hawks are clearing the site in the meantime... thank you for watching!
Fantastic! You deserve all the luck. I find your approach to nature, detecting and the way you present your short films second to none! I only wish we could detect together, here or there! Well done, please keep posting! Regards from England, Duane.
hello duane, thank you for your kind words! you made me happy with the things you've said :) thank you for watching and please stay tuned! all the best, hans
+Alan Rosak thank you, I'm happy to hear that my friend. . . these are interesting questions i keep asking myself as well . . that's part of the excitement of history :) thank you for watching!!

Paul
+hotliner I'm still breathless too. . .I think I didn't even realized what I've found there :D it's a very remote place I'm detecting there and it obviously has never been detected before. . thank you for watching and for your kind comment my friend! all the best, GL&HH! hans
Amazing hunt,as always the nature shots are wonderful, what a place to pursue the hunt, thank you VERY MUCH for showing a christian symbol, the bronze spear point is awesome! it was a rush to see it recovered! Hans you never disappoint! all the best, Dave

Hi Hans, Wow-Wow-Wow, what an amazing find your Bronze Age spear head, I am very pleased for you, I know how you feel when you unearth something like that. One of my members found 3 Bronze Age axeheads about a month ago, a great find like yours, I think they were offerings to the gods at that time. Another great video Hans and one for you to savoir, all the very best my friend, Regards Richard.
hello richard, thank you my friend, I'm glad you like the spear head! It was absolutely fascinating and exciting to unearth this treasure :) wow! 3 axe heads! that's an extraordinary find! thank you for watching and for you kind comment! all the best, hans
A woman found 2 bronze age axes at my mum and dad's farm in Lancashire, although they are not worth very much, I actually got to hold one. Wow, if only it could talk. They are now in a London museum. Sometimes it's not about the value.
I found your metal detecting video today. Wow! What a wonderfully made video, REALLY interesting! MUCH better than other detecting videos! Thank you for explaining your finds and thank you for speaking English. A beautiful German forest.:) - Paul, USA
hello paul, welcome on my channel! thank you for watching my video and for your kind comment! it makes me happy to hear that you enjoyed watching it and I hope you will like my other videos too :) all the best, hans
