Man v Field: Metal Detecting UK - I found a Roman Villa
It took about three years and five separate searches but I finally found the site I was looking for. Research of the area suggested the possible presence of a Roman settlement or large building so armed with the Deus I tried again the locate the site and this time hit the jackpot.
Enjoy seeing finds from the ancient times being unearthed and held for the first time in thousands of years as I swing away, metal detecting with my trusty XP Deus using the 11" X35 coil and the Hot program tweaked down to 16khz.

I believe that Dominoes came later, Middle Ages originally from China C12. Brilliant video and yes I was yelling "Hypocaust tile" at the screen.

Looks like carausius too.
That was a great hunt! I love it when you make that connection to the past over many hours of searching, you kind of build a picture of who has been there. The gamin pieces are such special finds, nice one 😁👍

Gotta say. You'd think Nokta would've tried something original. They've clearly used the Garrett design and added a pocket. I got a grey Garrett finds bag this year and it's definitely hard-wearing. Thinking there was an upgrade maybe.

Interesting. Bone dominoes were not uncommonly made by prisoners of war, mainly the French on English turf.

thanks for the info. not too far away there was an POW camp for Italians so it could well be something like you say.
all nokta makro products seem to be very well made and sturdy, which is a defo plus if you dont want to be forking out for stuff all the time. that garret one lasted pretty well though, impressive. Lovely stuff up again darren. Love that die, blooming clonker , the one i have is around 10 mm size!!!

Great video. Loads of cracking finds. Would love if you could do some live digs on the Roman as I’ve just bought a deus and the help with the vdi’s and tones would really help, I know that takes forever and a pain with one hand. But any help would be greatly appreciated. Legend. Keep up the great work

If your get hypercaust you are generally bellow floor level so maybe the tessari or tile floor fragments should be showing.

Possibly, who knows, turns out Dominos wasn't really invented until about the 13th century.
Could be a bath house mate, all the same you're on the money.

yup, a friend said the same. I will revisit after harvest and try and convince the farmer to deep plough it :)
Did you learn all about the Romans in school? Or from detecting? Well done!
