Man v Field Metal Detecting UK

Welcome to the Metal Detecting UK no frills no, no faff and no waffling channel + No Adverts!

I’m Darren aka Man v Field and I love trawling the fields looking for lost items. Follow me as I travel across the UK in search of lost history.

You’ll find me out with the trusty XP Deus metal detector in all sorts of weather conditions and field types.

Whilst I’m primarily a solo detectorist I often go out with my Dad and on Club Digs.

If I’m able I will fully ID the objects I unearth and provide details in the roundup so stay tuned ‘till the end of the vids.

If you love history and enjoy my videos please consider hitting the SUBSCRIBE button and click the BELL to receive the latest updates.

Thanks for popping in! GL & HH out there Folks :)

    Hi Darren, gorgeous finds - England really has to be detectorist´s paradise - not only the finds concerned but also the social acceptance and the cooperation with Museums and PAS in particular. Conditions that can only be dreamt of in other countries. Best regards

    We are quite fortunate here in the UK, so long as Detectorists and Archaeologists work with each other, we'll all benefit. Thanks for watching btw.

    This is fascinating! My partner is a metal detecting newbie and we have been given permission to detect in a an unploughed farm field within an area where there was an ancient castle settllement. Any tips for the best area of a field more likely to yield finds?

  • @manvfieldmetaldetectinguk6767
    @manvfieldmetaldetectinguk676727 күн бұрын

    Welcome to the hobby. TBH just wander everywhere but maybe do small areas at a time. Go slow and dig the whisper signals as they are the deeper ones. Naturally it depends on what detector you have! Be sensible and follow the Metal Detecting Code of Conduct and you'll have a permission for life and maybe obtain more permissions through word of mouth. Keep us posted as to what you find. You can reach me on Facebook or join the Man v Field metal detecting group on Facebook to share your finds and ask for more tips and IDs etc. Good luck!

    Hi Darren, the Siliqua Fragment is of Valentinianus I (or II) with VRBS-ROMA reverse legend. I would guess RIC IX Treveri 27A or RIC IX Treveri 27D or RIC IX Rome 11A all with variants. There ar a few other possibilities though. Shame the mintmark is gone. Still a nice find. Regards

    Hi Darren, nice AE1 of Diocletian (most likely RIC VI Londininium 6a) and the Large Chi-Rho (of Constantine?). Miss the thorougly assembled Round-Ups and the excellent pictures of the finds in your earlier videos. And the sound of your deus and the live-digs. And really don´t like the music - unnessecary and distracting. Nonetheless yours is one of my favorite MD-Channels. Best Regards from Austria

    They were farmed in local streams and large ponds. Romans often farmed them in dedicated purpose dug ponds. That’s one possibility.

    Could that "strange George III coin" not be a coin at all? The front seemed to me to have "George Gordon' on it? Could that be a reference to Lord George Gordon and the anti-catholic Gordon riots about that time? Some sort of unofficial 'commemoration coin' perhaps?

    Very nice evasion’ halfpenny. These counterfeit were commonly used here in Canada, I find a lot. They were mostly made the the US I believe Edit, by changing the motto and / or using dates when the government did not mint them, it can be argued they are not counterfeits and perhaps avoid the noose.
