SUPERB ANCIENT SILVERS AND GOLD!!! Metal Detecting Germany Nr.132 

hello everybody, thank you for tuning in! I hope you like this episode. if you want to support me please like (if you like) and share my video. thank you very much :)

Hi! That gold gilded part at 22:03 is from pickelhaube strap. 5th picture when you google it in google graphic. Cheers from Poland!

I left your beautiful country 34 years ago,At the end of my military commitment,Since then the wall has dropped and many changes have come to your lands,I am glad to see Germany is still in capable hands and Integrity with honesty is still the peoples way,I am presently up to video 82,But watch several a day,Thank You for your delightful endeavors of being the metal detectorist with a sense of humor,And yet the passion that drives us all on to do what make our lives work,I am too old now to do these things,So I live on through people such as yourself.

You always make the best, professional grade videos and I look forward to seeing each one. You don't spend too much time on introduction filler music to your videos or in showing off your finds to the world just to brag. Your music and countryside pictures compliment your videos by adding a relaxed and peaceful presence. I can tell that you are genuinely excited about the finds you make no matter if you get to keep them or not. I have found that actually finding the past is the best part. Your knowledge and expertise shines through to make every video very interesting. Thank you so much

Hans, a farmer from Maine here and stumbled upon your relaxing site one chilly Autumn day. Your 2-piece treasure from the path looks like a dragon fly etching and thought it could be something from a dairy to mark or personalize a stick of butter to show which farm it was sold by. I have three of different floral designs made of Beech-wood that were on a hook at the butter churn in the milking parlor. I enjoy your site.

Hans.......you are so industrious......I have respect for you......I lived in Germany for three years.....I had my metal detector....but I did not know that I should have asked property owners for their permission to detect on their field.........God Bless....

I am sitting here relaxing watching your videos again. They are so calming, besides it is snowy outside and -18 C. Good way to spend an hour of the day. Cheers🇨🇦

I am your 142nd comment and only 13 thumbs up; what gives; Hans your videos are thee best; thank you for the adventure; the soothing sounds and the beautiful scenery; all the best

Many years ago I helped Archaeologist here in Japan 🗻 When they where done with the dig and only going down so deep, I would mark and more sounds that were deeper with a chop stick 🥢 most were old bronze coins that were missed....They even made me a copy of their coin etchings book" Wish I could do that again"🤸‍♂️

The dragonfly stamp was so sweet, delicate and special. Really a lovely find. I enjoy it when you get to help on excavations; so interesting and you seem to enjoy them so much.

Wow what a find on the queen vic coin !! All coin finds magic. Thanks for sharing

We love to follow your detecting adventures and are green with envy at most of your finds. We're from Australia and although it's an ancient land....it lacks the amazing history of Europe and because of this we have to settle for old horseshoes and gold nuggets....🙃

I think the Dragonfly plate and handle looks like stamp for wax sealing letters. I forget the proper name for it. Thanks again for taking us along.

Great video. You make the watcher feel like they are there detecting with you.

Ahhhh another chill out watch and a break from watching American serial killer documentaries, that rivet was nice mind. Thanks

Guten Morgan Hans. So glad to see you again.

Amazing history that you are unearthing I live in a very young country if I unearth an item 2 to 3 hundred years old it is ancient to me. Keep up the good work and I will keep watching 👀 thank you so much.

Hallo Hans,Always a pleasure to check out your new video and nice finds! I also appreciate your nature and scenery shots. Keep swinging the coil and good luck. Viele grüsse, Benny Sesink

Sehr gut Alopochen aegyptiaca at 3:50. Thank you for showing us your finds. Greetings fom die insel bornholm.

Hi Hans, Last week I also found two Roman silver coins, republican roman denarius, one in perfect condition, the other broken into three pieces, which fit perfectly. The coins date from 82 BC, and were issued by Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix. .It was an amazing day . I also have a video. You are an inspiration, your videos are amazing!

The finds are always great but the quality of film making is even better. Always a pleasure to watch. Groovy.

Hallo Hans...Hab mir das Video extra für heute abend aufgehoben und ich muss sagen wie immer Klasse, die römischen Münzen sind ein Traum aber auch der kleine Knopf, wunderschön verziert. Freue mich wie immer aufs nächste Video. Schöne Grüße aus dem Norden Alex 🖑

Love the Egyptian geese around 4:00. They always seem to be in pairs rarely more.

Great video and finds Hans! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant Hans another great video, superb.

Hans, Thank you again for another great video !

You are so unique. Well done!

Stamp was right was drawing off a bug . Awesome find again sehr guht .

Hi friend, beautiful video editing and many beautiful find. thank you sharing. Jim 57 from Moselle.France

Toll das es wieder Videos von Dir gibt. Super Funde wieder und ebenso gelungene Aufnahmen. Freue mich schon auf die nächsten Aufnahmen. Gruß von Helmut

Hello Hans,great video,and some brilliant finds !. Happy hunting.

Always happy to see an upload from you Hans, a peaceful little interlude from the craziness of the world. Thanks.

well done on your finds and your dig also

You are the best!!!! Thanks for these wonderful videos!!!! Keep it up!!!! Cheers from Italy

Very nice finds! Enjoy your videos and ancient artifacts,coins! We can't find such here in Ontario Canada 1850's are old to us here!

Beautiful country and great finds.

Really nice finds enjoyed watching

Excellent video Hans! The video quality is awesome! Nice finds!

Great finds, lovely video!

Thank you for another great video. Interesting finds, Beautifully done and narrated. I'm looking forward to many more. Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

Skvělé video,parádní podívaná i nálezy z detekce.

One of the US metal detector gurus carries a small plastic spray bottle of water to help clean his finds in the field. It keeps him from putting scratches on good finds caused by rubbing the dirt off.

Video is outstanding just like the finds! you work hard my friend and it shows!

Hi Hans, Nice video again my friend! The roman coins have so much detail, they are BEAUTIFULL!!! Congrats on all the finds. Best wishes my friend, GL&HH Don

I so enjoy your films

I love your Videos so peaceful and interesting. 👍👍👍👍👍

Hello Hans, how are you my friend, another great video and some nice finds, I like the your find with the dragonfly on, similar to a seal matrix. A great coil you are using the white 9inch high frequency coil, I use one also, a good all round coil and good for gold coins and artefacts. All the very best, take care, Regards Richard, GL&HH

The oblong object/stem, with insect design.. looks like a seal. One presses it into hot wax to seal a letter etc.

Great video again with fantastic finds and and beautiful scenery shots!

Another awesome video and great editing. This last object looks like a suspender buckle of some kind.

Great video Hans , good to see you are finally warming up there . Well a little anyways !

Beutyfull landscape there Hans great video and great finds , the only silver Roman I have found is the same as you showed lol good luck with the remaining part of the path , I look forward to seeing you next adventure

Another Beautifull Journey Into The Past .

Wow those Roman coins are fantastic.

Hi Hans-- I'm thrilled that I believe to have the answer to your last "mystery object" in this video. It is a WWI German helmet chinstrap bracket (do a google image search and you'll see). I once owned one of these helmets and I recognized it immediately. Keep up the great work! I enjoy your videos here in North Carolina, USA.

Hi . Another great video !!! I love it.

Hi Hans, it's good to watch another of your detecting missions. We all seem to be waiting with baited breath, for the next episode of you uncovering ancient history in your magnificent German countryside. This is hardly surprising, considering the quality of content, and the standard of photography that you provide us with. Long may it continue my friend. As I remarked a while ago, to me, you possess the quite rare ability to captivate your audience without any silly hype, eye-balls-out, brashness, or 'semi-cultured' knowledge. Many of the ways in which you go about sharing your cherished pastime with your fellow detectorists, still serves to remind me of watching , and taking on board, the videos of the late, real, 'Norfolk Wolf'; John Lynn. Easy-mannered, laid-back, informative, knowledgeable, steady, and fun. Credit where credit is due . All the best, good health, and HH.

The quality of your videos is insane! Got to be a lot of work! Awesome, keep it up.

Hans....another awesome video. How lucky you are to have a backhoe digging deep treasures for you!! A dream volunteer position. 😄 Your traveling path is quite interesting too! Love the sturdy buckle and the small sliver of metal with the delicately engraved dragonfly. It has me wondering what it could be? Stay warm and thank you for sharing. Happy hunting my friend.

Great to see this video! Keep em coming!

I like the framing at 21:24. Great work!

Lovely video. Very impressive style.

Great video again super keep it up Hans 👍🏻🇱🇺

Thanks Hans for another great day out. I only wish my fields produced half the stuff you find. Keep swinging. Regards Mark.

Well done Hans another fine video enjoyed the clip from the other dig too well done .. have a great week .

Nice recovery on the wax seal stamp !

Great video and nice assortment of finds! GL and HH Van Jr.

Hans, the closing shot is breath taking, wonderful! Ok, there is so much to say.... first of all congrats of your volunteer work, very nice that you are so well respected that they would include you on their digs. You have built yourself a fine reputation. I wish you much more success in this aspect of your adventurous hobby. Second of all, your film making continues to blow my mind. So many angles, so many detailed shots, so much effort goes into your videos... you NEVER miss a beat. I have never seen an error, an out of focus shot, a narration mis-que... nothing. Absolutely fasinating to watch and enjoy. I still learn so much....I have followed you for two years.... you still amaze me. Also, your little clip....is not for garters, or suspenders, or overalls.... this too is horse brass. I have actually seen these clips.... they are big and thick. Believe it or not, my Grandpa Wild (From Wouttenberg) had these on his saddlebgs of his mules that he used to haul bottles of milk from the local dairy grocer to deliver. The bags there quite large (able to hold about 16 quart sized glass bottles each) and had a wooden frame inside. Hope this helps. Keep at it, you be making documentaries in no time.... All the best, Anna from Iowa.

Thank you Hans! Your videos are always great. I'm glad you were able to detect that construction site. Good luck, happy hunting!

tolles Video mit vielen schönen kameraperspektiven 👍

How wonderful to be out in the spring,really nice to see the willows bloom. Thank you Hans.

Hello from Ukraine. Great video, thank you and good luck to you!

I highly admire such a noble and beautiful man & channel! Best regards sir.

You found some nice finds there

Danke fuer ein neues Video, habe schon laenger gelauert ;) wie immer Top Qualitaet

Thank you for sharing your adventure Hans, always good to watch yours videos, nice mixed finds, i like the Queen Victoria coin, i detected an old footpath today and found a crotal bell , Elizabeth hammered,Victoria penny's and lots of lead.

Hans that first denarius you found in the dirt pile is gorgeous! @21:30 is the metal attachment for a Pickelaube helmet chinstrap. Also used on early Stahlhelm type helmets as well. But if it has gold gilt on it then it's from a pickelhaube. Very neat!

Always enjoy your vids.

Thanks Hans 👍 👏

the thing at 21:45 looks the right size to be a beer bottle opener. It could also be the buckle for a woven cord kind of belt that doubles back through the openings to pull it tight. Something a soldier would lose along with his lighter? I love how you edit the cleaned finds into the dig part. Very satisfying to view.

Hello Hans it's lovely to see another of your brilliantly made videos. I think the beautiful dragonfly piece is a seal and was attached to the other piece originally, the buckle is very well made too. It was great to see you working with the archaeologists and to see the great finds as they come out of the dirt pile. Take care my friend, good luck and happy hunting Mary-Ellen UK

Hans you do some wonderful photography

moin hans,schön von dir zu sehen.klasse funde auf dem pfad.wieder ein tolles video,daumen hoch.die situation am bagger kenne ich gut,einmal im wahn alles zu bergen vergist man oft die sicherheit.leider kann man nicht alles sicherstellen aber ohne "uns"gehen viele funde dann für immer verloren.danke für deine arbeit hans. vlg+gf klaus

Hi Hans..Greetings from Idaho! .Germany certainly is breathtakingly beautiful! I love your videos. Very well done! You're also cleaning up the environment of trash. The archaeology digs must be truly amazing. Keep up your wonderful work! Thank you so much for sharing a piece of Germany with us. Some of my ancestors were from Germany!

I love to watch your videos, they make very relaxing viewing. Your professionalism shines through, others could learn a lot from your techniques. I wish you a productive season and look forward to your future adventures. Bob

Wonderful viewing. One would think there would be bullets everywhere, from the air battles over Germany in 1943-45.

Thank you for spoiling us with yet another amazing video. They are of such incredible quality and so well produced that it now becomes almost unbearable to watch other channels. Danke und viel Erfolg bei der nächsten Jagd!

I would say the last item could be some sort of strap. Looks like a suspender strap. But maybe I'm wrong. Very glad to see you posted a new video, I loved it. (o:

Excellent video Hans. I'm a coin collector and it's great to see you finding old coins that I have in my collection. Your photography is superb too. Greetings from Australia.

Hello, Hans! It's always a pleasure when I see that you've posted a video. The item you were wondering about is from a pre-1915 chin strap for a pickelhaube (spiked helmet). There were two of these on the chin strap and they fastened the strap to the body of the helmet. In 1915 the helmet fittings were given a gray colored coating to make them less reflective as shiny brass can give away the location of soldiers in combat. Excellent video as always, Hans. Thanks!

Welcome back 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's always interesting to see the various nationalities represented by money found at your various locations. I think the different coins often tell a good historical tale of what happened in an area. I think your strange find was a stocking garter clasp? The little plate with an etching is I think a Dragonfly. Maybe a charm of some kind?

Wonderful finds! And another beautiful video! You Sir have a gift for cinematography!! Thank you for taking us with you!! Hope all is well in your world!!

Hello Hans, again a very nice video. I almost do not look any others ..... I miss something, the rest have the Ddeine videos. Otherwise, I like to join my previous speakers. Everything was great again! Oh yes, I have finished my "time travel", I am now up to date with your videos! So, hoppi do more ;-) Greetings from the Spree, Stefan

Hello, I would say that the brass colored item is some sort of connecting clip (suspenders, ect.). Nice video as always.

It's great to watch a beautifully filmed clip without loud rock music ruining it, your commentaries are perfect, no hoots or screams and the editing is very professionally. Perhaps you could do a tutorial clip for RU-vid beginners. Fantastic viewing, many thanks.

Hello Hans, the unknown object reminds me of an eyelet from a women's garterbelt, it is incomplete though! Gr. from the Netherlands

Great video. Your first find looks like the inside frame of a pocket knife.

so wunderschön wie du uns in deine welt entführst, wunderbare Bilder von Landschaft und Nahaufnahmen. Der Blich für die Schönheit der Dinge , die Reise zurück in andere Zeiten wird greifbar. Tolle Arbeit und geniale Funde ;)
