I really appreciate the passion and excitement you put in your videos and finds! You are able to keep me glued to the screen everytime, looking forward to your new adventures with the Deus 2, congrats for the finds and the upgrade!
It has been gloriously cool, Ally. Well, if you count 80-90f cool....which we do. LOL Little bits of rain here and there, nothing big. It is lovely being able to wear a jacket in the mornings and open up our new windows. New windows are divine!!!
I was awake at 4am when the notification came through for your video but I had to sleep 😴 I woke at 6:30am to watch your video and the first target was the zoomorphic strap end..just amazing as usual and it made my morning that much better. Anyway I'll look forward to your next detecting adventure because there's always something new and amazing, all the best Alexander cheers Arthur 😀
Love watching your videos , your a very knowledgeable chap and a field like that could keep you going for some time with the broad range of historical finds , all the best for the future. What an amazing location.
Never fail to impress Mr Timemachine😊 Amazing finds as always Alexander❤ love the buckle definitely has the clapping hands on the end I seen a gold ring lately with the same features awesome!
Thanks Mark and sorry not to have done anything about the coin I promise I will I haven't spent a day at home to sort things out in weeks and I am currently in wales looking after my son but I haven't forgotten!
Congrats on the treasures and the coming of the new Deaus!!! You should love it!! Technology has come along way in last few years!!! Enjoy Alex and Thanks for another great video!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for posting. Another terrific outing. This new field looks so promising, if that one day is any indication. Approx 3,000 yr age range in finds? Wow!! Land was in constant use. I don't think it'll make any difference which machine you use, the finds are that plentiful. You'll have yrs of fun there. And, beautiful brooch. Good luck with your new machine, & future outings. Thanks again.
Thanks Francine ans I think you might be right about not mattering really which machine as long as its a good one I hadnt thought about that! Hope all well - that patch of land is very near some cover used for pheasnt shooting so not really allowed near it now til Februsray!!!! Rats!
Love the clasped hands ring brooch, had a couple over the years but the patina on your example is stunning, not to mention the rose farthing,wow! you must have kind soil. Has to be a BA blade fragment those dimensions and profile. Well done Alex
On page 10 in November's edition of Treasure Hunting Magazine there is an article on a medieval gold brooch very similar to yours with the clasped hands holding a white stone. Lovely find, well done. Love your vids...keep em coming👏
Love the brooch Alex. Other day i found a tiny silver double sided rose farthing with my DEUS 1......🤭. Certainly another good day for you, and us. Good luck with the Deus 2. Xx
Wow, fantastic hunt Alex! an' I think you're right about a 'last defiant gesture' from the Deus 1, 'cos a very similar thing happened to me...: On my first hunt with the D2, my pal's machine had gone on the blink, so he used my D1 that day - ...and absol. wiped the floor with me and my swanky new Derus 2!... 🤣😂 Happy hunting matey, and do hold on to that classic 'old girl' if you can... fantastic machine hey?... Ttfn, Bobby 🐭
She's not going anywhere Bobby I will bring a out when I am fed up with new Doris slapping about the face and asking me why it isn't dug yet... I am enjoying the 2 so far I am taking the learning quite steadily but it's not as relaxing as the old one! Hope all well!
You really do spoil us Alex. More amazing, historic finds. I think it makes sense for you to get the D2 as you have some amazing land there. I don't get out enough to justify an upgrade so I'll be sticking my my Garrett AT Max which in my opinion is a great machine. It's all I know and it finds me tiny, deep targets. Besides, you have a channel and a hoard of people to entertain 😁Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
Wonderful finds buddy, good luck with the Deus II. I feel the same with my Nox 800. It is finding me some great stuff and with the Manticore and the Nox 900 released, I have not wanted to change, and why should I when I have spent years learning my 800, not interested in extra bells and whistles really. We just have to walk over it with our capable machines. All the best and HH.
Absolutely brilliant watching Alexander. Wow what a day's digging what a selection of finds.i can't wait to see you on the deus masters lite theres not many videos out there. looking forward to see how you got on with it and see your finds all the best buddy
Hell of a field you got there, mister! Lovely zoomorphic strap end, and I think the design started out representing horses but kind of went off the rails a bit. The design on the lead disc is a dead ringer for some of the apotropaic markings you see on very old buildings to ward off evil spirits. Maybe this was a portable one! Who knows?
A horse?! You sure John or have you been at some early snifters!!! Hope all well and thanks for the info on the lead bit someone else mentioned that so you learn something new I should probably start carrying it around on me!!!
@@HolzHammerSagas While some early (for some) imbibage may indeed have taken place, they had no effect on my thoughts 🤣 Cruciform brooch feet depicted horse heads which were quite recognisable to start with, but by the time you get to the later brooches (including square-headed) the booze had taken effect and they could be anything up to and including a schitzoid rodent👍
Thank you so much Alex for bringing us this vid your enthusiasm and humbleneness ( is that a real word 🤔?) makes it almost seem that the viewers are there digging up these finds! Wonderful stuff only thing missing is more Tasky 😄🇨🇦
I think the word you are looking for is "Humility" Steve and its far too noble a word to describe me I am afraid 😁but thank you all the same and I hope all well with you! All the Best!
First class video, looking forwards to seeing you in action with your Deus2, my wife wants to buy me one for my birthday but like you I'm a bit sentimental about my Deus1. Keep the videos coming there first class. 😊
I am not noticing a massive difference John thought def more sensitive and I know I am not missing much with it.... if you don't need to I wouldn't rush to get one though if its a present...😁
What a day, my friend!!! HOpefully more great finds in that field! Love the strap end! Lovely day in Los Angeles today, it appears the zombie horde has slept in! :-)
Don't do it you have the best now Alex .A guy up here has been using an xp Deus lite for near on 11 years and he found a massive hoard of Saxon pennies (Adam Staples).He bought what you are about to get and sold it within a fortnight after commenting to me that the original was far far better .You will be so attuned in every way to yours after 7 years .great video.
Ive done it already David its too late - I think it will give me the edge on pasture in fact I have proved it already but I think i will keep using the old girl on cultivated... its not very relaxing the new one!!!! I am putting a vifeo out tonight with mu early thoughts... hope all well and thanks for the comment!
I hope that you enjoy it Alex .It's just that you seemed such a good team .have just been out this afternoon and tried your hot combo and despite the flight of the bumblebee I must say I'm extremely impressed .It truly brought the field to life. All the best great vids I watch them all .
Watch and enjoy your videos. With all the time spent in the fields, what does your wife think of this? My wife would always say, " another day from me and the kids?". I bet your wife says something similar. Keep on sending the videos.
I have a very good "way around" that Peter - I am not married!!! 😁 Got a young son though so not allowed to go out all the time if I am on duty! Hope all well and thanks for watching! All the Best, Alexander
Great video again Alexander, your videos make my detecting look very boring. I use a dues 2 that I’ve not updated due to the negative reviews, but I think you’ll be fine with it. Keep the original dues as a nostalgia detector, that’s what I did with my original detector and still love taking it out for a spin . Hope everything is going well.
Def keeping the original Jonny and i hadn't thought much about the updates as it came with the latest installed - its a bit soarky but I am getting used to it! Hope all well!
super brooches what a fantastic site. a real treat to see. i had a stroke of luck in my first hole of a recent dig.........1572 Elizabeth I sixpence,,,I consider that a very lucky 6p..so i took it back with me to my site,, and to my absolute pleasure...i plucked a Caesar's elephant trampling horned serpent silver denarius... just incredible,,,,, i created my own luck..... i also found a James 1 ,, pineapple and rose silver coin,,,,,,all 3 are in with FLO. looking forward to visiting my local branch of the British Museum to find out exactly what I've got and how important,, they might be.... the silver Caesar is from AD43,, and Caesar minted these coins for the invasion... definitely my my most important find so far ,,,I really enjoy your vlogs,, amazing finds as always...hope you are well and please make lots more fantastic episodes please. dig every peepy ,,pippy signal ,,,good luck!
Hi Alex , the lead token you found I have fields along the river severn and found two almost the same along with a silver Georgian shoe buckle, great video.
I accidently stood on it also I don't know if you get this asked alot would you be able to comment what settings you are currently running on the deus please before you move on to the deus 2 Thanks Josh
Great days detecting with amazing finds, good luck with the Deus 2 I had mine for a year and decided to go back to the Deus 1 not sure if it was a one off dodgey machine but my finds dropped considerably, back to normal with the 1, try some comparison test yourself. I did it with a silver coin and the Deus 2 really struggled where the Deus 1 blows your ears off, can’t wait to see some videos.
Hi there seen your latest video and once again great I’ve got the deus 2 had it for 16 months and love it I’ve programmed in Gary’s modified hot program and love it hope you enjoy the deus 2 and take your time to adjust as like you I did have the Deus 1 with all coils my fav was the hot program just love the tones it dose take time but I think you will master it enjoy the journey shaune in kent 👍
Another excellent video with very interesting finds. I moved up to a Deus 2 and, to be honest, I am still learning all its features. There is a learning curve. I loved the Hot program on my original Deus and I still haven't found a similar program for the Deus 2. I wish you much success with your new detector. Cheers 🥂
Thanks Robert and thanks for reminding me of the curve i think thats imposrtant... its def not as relaxing as the old one! Hope all well and All the Best!
Great video as always Alexander, some cracking finds too. Good luck with the deus 2 I think it’ll take some getting used too but it will definitely be worth having on your pasture permissions as the difference in depth is really good from what I’ve been told. I’m still using the deus 1 with a hf coil, can’t justify spending all that money at the moment plus I’ve just booked next years holiday to Rome with my daughter 😬 I’ll look forward to your next video 👍
Have you been before Darren? Money well spent and my favourite City in the world it will blow your mind... spend more time out doors than in its the one city where i think galleries etc come 2nd to just wandering about... but dont ignore them completely! Very jealous!
@@HolzHammerSagas No never been it’ll be my first time there 😬 I’m already planning ahead so we can see as much as we can in 10 days, going to see all the main attractions plus a day at Pompeii. Definitely going to the galleries and museums. Sorry for the late reply I never received a notification. Good luck when you’re out with your deus 2 I’ll look forward to seeing your next video. All the best 👍
I was on stubble the other week with my....DEUS 1....and found a Silver Double Sided Rose Farthing, fitted on my little finger it was that small. Love the brooch, amazing it still had its pin. A very good day for you, and us!!! Good luck with the Deus 2. Xx
Alexander great first find looks big field full of stuff how lucky deus 2 will be fine keep it simple at first be patient your do well with it all the best
You may regret the deus 2 mate I've had the same deus 1 for 8 years I've had 1000s of hammereds I'd recommend the elliptical coil mate . Everyone I've come across with deus 2 I've stomped them
Fantastic finds as always alex what a start to the day. I got a deus master about 4 weeks ago and i think its a cracking machine alot diffrent to the nox 800 gona take some time to get used to it but what a great machine
@@HolzHammerSagas I will be watching for tips lol good luck im sure you won't need it tho. Keep up the great content we all appreciate the hard work you do 💪💪💪
Congratulations on your finds. I found part of a Bronze Age rapier a couple of years back, yours is far too wide to be part of one, I think yours was a much larger sword.
Another fantastic video Alexander with wonderful finds . I still use my Deus 1 even though i also upgraded to the Deus 2. You can't compare them both , different tones etc. But exciting as back to school. It's a step change that doesn't suit everybody. But i think you will enjoy it. Regards Ian from Ipswich
These vids just get better and better Alex. I'm feeling a bit nervous for you regarding the Deus 2. It's hard to think that anything could be better than your old Deus 1. I have gone over to a Manticore but this time I have kept my Deus 1 and even though the Manticore is deeper I have a sneaking feeling I am going to go back to my good old D1 so I'm going to be particularly interested in your next vid.
Thanks Colin and I know what you mean about moving on from something so tried and trusted but lets ee! Hope all well and thanks for your very kind words at the beginning its much appreciated ! 😁 Hope all well!
Great video as usual. I have recently 'upgraded' to the Deus 2 lite from the Deus 1 however I have also got the wsa2 headphones so I can use the ws6 stem mounted. It is fantastic on sensi FT programme after I removed the discrimination and notch. I was concerned like you are about the familiarity after being well served with the Deus 1. After only a few outings It now feels very familiar so hopefully you will get on well with it.
At 10.12 the lead artifact has a daisy-wheel and circle round it and the symbol was used from the Medieval Period right through to the 19th Century. Sometimes known as witch marks when they occur as historic graffiti but thought to be protective magic or apotropaic magic. Check out the book Magical House protection by the Archaeologist Brian Hoggard and very much worth reading
Maybe take your deus 1 out with you as well as your deus 2 to compare signals & sounds! I too found a what I think it's a bronze age blade a few weeks ago, you've confirmed it really. 😊. Maybe I can upload later and see what you think. 👍
You will love the d2 open up the general program I use 5 tones pwm bottle caps of silencer of notch off disc -6.4 iron 5 audio response 5to 6 reactivaty 2.5 or 3 play with that sensitivity 96 set the tone breaks to how you like them but have mid tone from 58 to 70and vol 10 this work well for me good luck
Nice video and cool finds! I’ve recently found something which I had no idea of what it was but now that I’ve seen you first find the saxon strap, it looks identical as mine. Only thing is I live in the Netherlands and I don’t think we had any saxons here 😅
Oh and I forgot to mention you are hands down my favorite RU-vid detectorist every day subscription list hoping to see your next amazing finds! Much love here from Massachusetts USA PS. If I lived in the UK and I had to deal with stubble, I would run with goldfield program (notch it to 00-00 helps with iron falsing) since it is much deeper and super sensitive to smaller targets for at least it works great here for cornfield stubble...
Great video as always Alex, stunning finds. I'm sure you will get on with the deus two. Looking forward to your opinion on the new machine. I've not updated mine and keep things simple, little tweaks. Works for me. Cheers for now.
A lot of people are saying don't update; I hadn't given it much thought but since I am not familiar with the earlier versions I might as well stay on the latest it came with ... what do you think? Hope all well
@@HolzHammerSagas hi Alex, first update was a disaster apparently, even iron sounded good. Second update I've not heard of any complaints so maybe it's sorted? Try the new version and see how you get on. It would be useful to have your feedback. Cheers. Nick.
Wonderful Alexander. Just wonderful. Thank you. PS: I think D2 is the right choice. The D1 is awesome, despite the knockers (ooooh matron 😁👍) I just think technology is moving on and the D2 encompasses that. Do you agree?
Amazing finds again!👌 I am very curious about your opinion of the XP Deus 2. I personally find the 2 completely different from the 1, but I have only been using it for two weeks. Good luck and I look forward to your new video!
@@HolzHammerSagas Still difficult to say, the tones are completely different from the 1 and the 2 also seems much more sensitive. I think the most important thing is to get the things you are used to at 1 to get this one out of your system and start over again.
Sorry is that the Deus light? It looks v lightweight. I love swiinging my lightweight detector but its only a Quest x10 so only a small coil. That is an epic site Im told there're Saxon remnants near my permissions just awaiting their discovery. Nicely made videos with a good narrative. Dave
Thanks Alexander can i just say i am starting my own detecting channel soon its all about mental health i suffered depression after losing my partner and was introduced to detecting by a friend to help and it really did so im hopeing to inspire other people with mental health issues that detecting can help you and if i make anything from RU-vid or raffles from my channel will go to charity called mind who help peaple with depression and suicide thoughts and another called angels trust who help with bereavement and losing a child through suicide so just qant to say your channel realy inspired me and helped me through my journey iv only got a Garrett 400 but i will be looking soon for better 1 but happy digging Alexander my friend ❤
@Rub10617 that’s brilliant - don’t worry too much about your machine - Garrett 400 is perfectly good enough! My only advice would be try and do the videos a bit differently from everyone else! Be creative and I look forward to seeing them !
I will do my friend and thanks for your kindness ill just be my self and will try to offer help to any 1 i can and maybe find some wonderful history along the way honestly Alexander the way you describe the finds and there history is fantastic who needs to say hammmmerd when they find 1 ill copy nobody else just be my self thanks Alexander and looking forward to seeing another of your videos there fab 😊
Hi Alex Do you have the Richard Hattat's visual catalogue of ancient brooches. Your little ring brooches is in there a book well worth having. ATB Alex.
Hi Alexander, love watching your videos. The hq is a really good touch, hats off for that 1 ...me and my wife are waiting with anticipation to get your verdict on the deus 2 ! I've got 1, after owing the deus 1. I couldn't miss at 4/5 inch deep but the deus 2 will double that, its amazing! But ...the sounds are different and I'm itching to know what program you choose...or which base program to customise? Because, I like you use sound on the 1 and not so much rely on vdi numbers...we've never waited in anticipation for a video as much ha ha ha Kind regards Antonio
Great video as always! I just wanted to ask about your display birds, is that a pair of hawfinch to your right when sat at HQ? I love the ring ouzel and of course the Peregrine. Are they collected by yourself or past down to you? You obliviously have a keen interest in birds and nature which I find a great combination with detecting..! All the best, Marcus.
Hi Marcus and well spotted - thye are hawfiches, yes! And I am yet to see one in real life; the peregrine is in fact a goshawk but you are forgibven as you can barely see it! And I collect and sell them - more of a collector! Hope all well and thanks for watching!
