As a master gardener I have been dying to see the convent gardens - last year's clean up was so exciting and many interesting features were uncovered. Selfishly I wish equal time could be given to the garden and grounds as there is to the interior. The garden restoration project could be a new channel entirely for Billy and friends.

I’ve noticed that Ryan is way more’ sedate ‘ when Billy isn’t around…. Shows just what a close friendship they have to be able to joke around ❤ Simon - now there’s a mind I’d love to pick ! He’s so calm , so Zen ! I’d love to know more about him 🙏 Yannis - your English is getting better every day 🎉. Love to know more about you too !!

Spade the wrong shape? No problem for Simon, he cuts everything like a boss! Would love to see more metal detecting in future videos.

It was awesome seeing the knowledge presented by Simon. It was also nice to hear Janis speaking English for once, directly at the camera. Billy should be proud of both Simon and Janis!

I have happy tears as Simon said "well done mate" to Yannis....you're a good man Simon and Yannis is as well. That was absolutely heart warming. Thank you all!

I really enjoyed the metal detecting. I love the history, and Yanis, your English is getting better and better. Keep up the good work. We are all very proud of you. Phil, your humor knocks me out. Simon, you should have been a movie star. Last but not least, Ryan,

The building on the pendant is st. Peters Basilisk and St. Peter's Square in the Vatican

Thank you Simon and Jannis. for showing us all the treasures that you found. Who doesn't liked treasure hunting

I'm really enjoying the intros to the videos since Alex started filming. Billy was excellent with his editing skills, and his videos were always entertaining, and with Alex there they still are, but there is a difference with the intros that seems to somehow make the convent more visible, the camera angles and captures are so much more intimate than before, that rather than just being excited about seeing what's going on there, I'm actually starting to get a much better feel for the place on a physical level now. I would love to see a tour of the overgrown gardens with Alex's camera, as he picks up a lot that gives a real feel for a space, and it would feel like a proper stroll through, something I would enjoy very much.

Look at you Simon - going all Time Team! An idea would be to reserve a room at the convent to encompass the history of the building - the glass case with the metal findings, photographs (old and new) of the place, and any other history you can dig up through investigation of the records. And of course capturing all the modern renovations.

I love seeing what you can find while metal detecting at the Convent. There is so much history in France and Europe that you never know what you might turn up. I was also thinking that people may have buried things around the convent property to hide it from their enemies and then never got to come back for it. A convent might seem like a safe place to hide valuables.

When I paused and zoomed in I am pretty sure that is Pius the 11th (1922-1939) and not his successor, Pius the 12th (1939-1958). Pp Pius XII had a fairly thin face and always looked kind of gaunt compared to Pp Pius XI. The two other medals were too hard to make out the writing, but I'm guessing Simon is right that it was St Christopher and The Blessed Virgin (looked like a Miraculous Medal from the detail I could see).

Ryan and Phil at the start .. Ryan and puppy warranted a loud fast giggle .. "here he comes" ... nope ..😂Simon, yannis and Phil explorations just fun and informative.

Wonderful week guys, I wish you all a great weekend. You all are naturals in front of the camera. I hope this channel continues to grow. Everyone hit the like !!!

The pope on the medal is pope Pius XI, born on 31 May 1857 as Ambrogio Damiano Achille Ratti, died on 10 January 1939. He was pope from 22 January 1922 untill his death. The text around his image is "PIVS XI PONT MAX". The words "PONT MAX" stands for "PONTIFEX MAXIMUS" and means "High Priest" in English. This is a title of the pope. On the other side is the St. Peters Basilic in Rome and the brick wall is actually the colonnade around St. Peter's Square. Interesting finds! Greetz, Mahdi

I think you should definitely continue metal detecting. The coins and pendants are great finds! 😊

The button with a x shank probably came off a winter garment, being able to accommodate either heavier thread or multiple strands to holding onto sturdy fabric.

Ryan you're an amazing host/ presenter!😊 great collab you guys, doing Billy proud

Simon has a natural gift of gab and a true curiosity about his world. He is easy to listen to. Not only that, he seems to have serious traditional building skills. Billy, you’re lucky to have collected this group of helpers.

Great to hear Yannis sign off at the end of the video in English! Yes keep metal detecting Simon. Love to see Phil helping out also. What a team!!

Yannis, Ryan and guys- you are doing a wonderful job while Billy is on his holiday. Have a good Weekend guys !

I love seeing all of the history being uncovered by Simon and Yanis (sorry if I spelled your name incorrectly). The pottery pieces as well. They all tell the story of the Convent, a story none of us really know. Keep going, gentlemen!

The first medal is a St Christopher pendent. We wore sacred medals around our necks on fine chains when I was at Catholic School. The niche most likely held a statue of the Virgin Mary. May was the Virgin's month and we took flowers to the statue. May Crowning was a Catholic tradition that seems to have started at the end of the 17th Century. You guys make me laugh so hard when you guess at the Sister's lives. 😂 I know there are priests and nuns who follow this and I'm sure they can tell you a lot!!! Phil, you are a dear friend. I no longer even attempt to do things without the correct tools. Cheaper and easier even to go buy them than spend hours and hours in pain, suffering, and swearing. Nice job with the flail and the well.

The detectoring is going to be very exciting. It will be exciting to see what else is hidden in the grounds. Yanis’s English is expanding.

The one medal looked like a Pope Pius XI medal with his relief on one side and that of St. Peter's Square on the other. This would date to the early 1930's... Fun explorations!

I think you may be right, just found one very similar if not identical on eBay. EBay often proves to be such a great research tool!

I hope you continue detecting and build an even greater collection of trinkets. Maybe you can even talk Billy into investing in a better quality detector that won't trouble you as much, LOL 😊 Lastly, poor Phil, I actually felt his pain.

that is cool about finding the holy medals around the convent. I am glad that Simon found a few things that are really interesting.

They are medallions normally with saints on the building on its St Peter’s square in Rome. Outside the stone pile/ building is called a Grotto and would have a statue of our lady /saint Mary

Hi Phil you always find machines that need extra work that is complicated 🤨 well done mate. 👍

Simon, you need to get one of those handheld pinpoint metal detectors after you dig the hole, it makes it easier to find your item
