Pipe tamper ends are not damaged like that, that damage on the hammer end is off hitting hard objects like...nails !, it's 100% a claw hammer head Fantastic video as ever I really enjoy them and the work you put into each one.

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

Well done TM - it is a bit special isn't it?! Hope all well!

@dafyddiago Год назад

That Pipe Tamper is more likely to be a small hobbyist hammer. As a Pipe smoker I cannot see what the v-notch would be used for on a pipe. Plus most tampers would not need a handle, as it would only get in the way. That is a hammer. It could be a modelling or furniture hammer for fixing fabrics to furniture. Great video once again, informative as always.

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

I think you are right - in fact no-one thinks its a tamper apart from the PAS and a couple of guys on the detecting hub i will now reopen my discussion there! And thank you for your knowledge concerning the use of tampers - very interesting and helpful! All the Best, Alexander

@stubailey100 Год назад

Alex, I agree with you, the PAS have got it wrong on the hammer item. Notice how the head of the hammer is slightly mushroomed out due to light impact, I think this is an early cobbler's hammer. A pipe tamper is always flat on the end.

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

Thanks Stu - good knowledge - esp on the usual flatness on the end of the tamper and I think you are right ... Back to the drawing board! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander

@tommycanuck9176 Год назад

That is a claw hammer for sure. My guess due to the size would possibly be a cobbler’s tool for making or repairing shoes? Anyhow Keep finding the most amazing things on RU-vid! Your#1

@TuckerSP2011 Год назад

That pipe tamper! I was internally screaming 'its a hammer'! A very tiny hammer, but after looking them up I guess it is a pipe tamper. I wonder what the prying part was used for? The brooches were wonderful.

I love your channel. Your humor is wonderful. 🙂You have an amazing amount of luck with the broaches. Your hammer head is gorgeous! I can see it on a warrior/ metal-smiths' neck as a pendant, even knowing it is a hammer. The rounded edge of the hammer head is what originally threw me. Normally, you hit things with a metal that is harder than the object but not too much harder. Also, how would a tobacco round the edge of the metal? But no matter. Someday a futuristic pagan will find it and make it into a pendant, creating a whole story around it. Which will make you right. 😉

Considering these broaches were mainly for holding togas on and the metal they are made from you would think they'd be all pretty plain but totally the opposite, they truly are stunning in design and detail, I think I'd be just as happy to find one of those as I would be if I found a coin. I also do love imagining who owned them and how they got there? Was it people working the land or was it once a temporary camp for roman soldiers or was it someone having a picnic in a meadow who lost it?? I suppose the possibilities are endless.

@Wally-H Год назад

Lovely finds (I still think it's the top of an old hammer, personally!). You are right about the FLO's - it's dangerous to think they know everything. Most of the time they rely on looking stuff up in books or online, just as we do. The fact they've done a degree and been on a few archaeological digs before getting the job doesn't make them experts. The last one we had in my county had only ever worked on Roman and Saxon digs and she admitted she didn't have the first clue about more modern stuff. Knowing how to interpret the soil layers on a Roman Villa site doesn't make you an expert in identifying artefacts.

Good grief! A second exact Scandinavian and two Fibula's? With all the little extras, it was a bonus day for you. And I just cannot see how that would be a pipe tamper. Just does not fit all the ones I have seen others pull out. Tasci with his new toy is so cute.

Tasci loves his little squeaky ball he is such a character he carries it everywhere and when he is outside with it tosses it up with his mouth and chases it endlessly - he's not that interested if I throw it for him! Hope all well Cyndye thanks for watching! I agree with you on the tamper...

The format you use on your episodes is spectacular. Going from the field to home and back explaining your incredible finds is very enjoyable particularly having the zoom lenses to see close up views in detail. Most of the channels just hold up a coin in the field and the only thing you can tell about it is that it’s silver or copper. I think you might have a small furniture tack hammer. I have found many small tacks over the years, I’m sure you have as well. Good luck 🍀 and be safe. 🇺🇸👋

Thank you very much for all that Gary it is much appreciated! And yes, it might well explain all the tacks we find!!!! Hope all well and All the Best, Alexander

Thank you for another very enjoyable half hour Alex. Your bronze 'claw hammer': I agree with you, it is old and does have the patina-look of 500-1000 years easily. My first erroneous thought was a toffee hammer used in sweet shops like Thornton's but even though it is the right size there is no need for a 'claw' for breaking up toffee! I'm afraid I don't agree with PAS, I can't see it being a pipe tamper, again, what would the claw be for, certainly not cleaning the pipe bowl. I hope you find out what it actually is soon eh. On the subject of your second camera (I know a bit more about photography than I do detecting), you didn't quite describe the problem you were having but it seemed like one camera is not giving the correct exposure, is that right? Obviously I don't know if you are using manual exposure (always the best choice) or auto-exposure? Maybe that second camera is not so good at auto-exposure and wants manual exposure? I know I know, when a cloud drifts over the exposure changes but manual exposure is the belt and braces way to go Alex. Thanx yet again.

You might need a claw for breaking up the toffee from your teeth Colin!!!! And thanks for the camera tips... always welcome!!!! I think its down to reluctant auto exposure... and I can do fair amount in the edit... I am going to make yu very jealous as I am currently on a Shetland Island the bird life is amazing - I don't have my proper camera and appendages with me this time but will come back in the Summer hopefully! All the Best, Alexander

Smashing stuff Alex, loving the teleportation ☄️jumps back to base, we’re all Trekkers deep down🖖🏽 . Wonderful finds and I’m also with you on the pipe stocker, just looks too old to be just that mundane ( yes I know it does look like a hammer) but if so perhaps it was used to put those hob nails in the boots🤔, hey to Task for me, chat anon, Best G🤗🙋🏻‍♂️🙏

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

Thanks Garry! Love the Trekkie emoji! 😂 And hope all well with you! All the Best!

@PALM311 Год назад

Wow, you had again, some spectacular finds! The piece you found that looks like a nail puller actually looks like a hammer head. like there would’ve been a handle attached to it just like a modern day hammer. Whatever it is, it’s pretty cool ! It definitely looks like ithas some age to it. thanks for another video, as always I really enjoy them. Give Tasci a scratch! ~Paul OK I should’ve watch the rest of the video before commenting lol I see it really is a hammer now lol

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

Ha! I do that the whole time.. in fact i know skim through the rest of a video just in case before I ID something!!!! Thanks EMD and hope all well!

@wendydewaal6631 Год назад

Comment on brooches: the last 2 you foun look like prototypes for Early passenger planes. Comment on weird nail puller : miniature hammerhead with hole for handle must a tool of father Christmas come wutg the Vikings!

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

Ha! That would be cool Wendy! Hope all well!

@grahamethomas6018 11 месяцев назад

It does look like a hammer. The way the round end is belled over looks like it has been hitting something. Also it’s rather big for a pipe tamper as tobacco was very expensive and pipes had mostly small bowls, I THINK. Gray.

@HolzHammerSagas 11 месяцев назад

Secretly Grahame, I don't think it's a pipe tamper either! 😁hope all well with you, and all the best, Alexander

@marilyngianadda1661 Год назад

Hi Alex, the Viking brooches are based on the legend of the dragons entwined catching their tails! The Celtic designs come directly from the Vikings!.

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

I didn't know that Marilyn.... good knowledge and thank you very much! Much appreciated and hope all well! All the Best, Alexander

@bosweg10 Год назад

Hi Alex, great video as always. Upon your tips about cleaning coins I did one myself. It is amazing how good it works and very exiting to see the result. And yes it takes ages and ages

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

My God, doesn't it?! But worth the effort I think… thank you very much for watching Paul and hope all well with you! All the best, Alexander

@rhettoracle9679 Год назад

Hammer with a tack/nail puller, very small, maybe for furniture leather upholstery nails or a child's toy. I smoked a pipe years ago and definitely not a tobacco tamper. Cheers on the rest

@HolzHammerSagas Год назад

Thanks Rhett - good knowledge and always appreciated! Hope all well!
