Big Surprise Under The Root! - Metal Detecting With Unexpected Finds
In this episode I'm detecting an unknown forest...
It was raining when I arrived. It always is very exciting to start in an entirely new area. The assembling of the detector can't go fast enough :).
I took a shortcut and started earlier than "planed". The first coil swings revealed that the forest was already hunted by other detectorists (surprise, surprise...). The goal was to find overlooked stuff, or even a tiny spot.
Of course not every forest contains finds. Often the finds are too deep, or there was simply nothing going on. In this case I had the feeling, that some usual clues (from around 1900's) were missing. I was moving towards a spot I had in mind, but in the end I never reached it, because something else happened...
After a few occasionally finds, a "modified" area cough my eye. It looked like (industrial) traces (from the past). Paths to transport something down the hill?
After a few coil swings it was clear to me that the spot had potential and that it already must have been detected precisely (something similar to the situation in my previous video).
I then moved towards a certain part of the spot and got very lucky...
When a "very old looking" button came out of the ground, I got aware of the possibilities and surprised that it's still there. The piece of foil lying next to it could be the reason...
The soil contained relatively few iron signals (at the part where the button was found).
The next good sounding signal was located under a root. I had to be very careful, after the previous find. What followed exceeded my wildest expectations...
It was a big hammered silver coin from 1622. The obverse shows Johann II, Duke of Palatine-Zweibrücken (a big thanks to "Til Horna" from the comment section for the clarification. I was assuming, it shows Johann Georg I, elector of Saxony, which was not the case).
I don't make finds like this in places I usually detect.
The coin changed my approach (well, it was actually the button). I couldn't follow my intuition that much anymore and felt "obligated" to concentrate on this spot a little bit more. That means extracting the one or the other "questionable" (iron sounding) signal.
It also usually means "the end" to the scouting (fun) part. Not that I don't like it, but I have the feeling, that something else is still out there waiting for me to discover it, while I "got stuck" here... Metal detecting is all about psychology.
You have seen the rest. I had to skip the "deep" target. Maybe I will return some day with a shovel...
It was a very satisfying and rewarding hunt (from my perspective). It wasn't easy, but this is how it should be.
Thanks for watching.
