I made AMAZING FINDS on the fairytale ancient path! Metal Detecting Germany Nr.197

Hi Hans, lovely video. I expect that the rain was uncomfortable at times but the beauty of that spot is precious to behold. Thank you for sharing your outings with us. God Bless.

I love Germany. It is the homeland of many of my ancient ancestors.

I'm literally watching this with a cup of hot coffee.

Hans, you are psychic! I was next to the wood stove nice and warm on this chilly morning with a cup of fresh coffee thrilled to watch your latest video! 🙂. When I was a small girl visiting my German-born grandmother we’d go for walks on old roads in the forest. We’d bring a picnic and she always looked for a place with a slope on the side of the road…if there was a high side she would always pick that side to sit on. She said that it was a habit from when she was a small child because back then people walked and rode and drove carts all on the same path and if you were going to stop, to rest or have some food or change your clothes you always stood well to the side so you would not cause any accidents….but also sitting in a high place on the sides allowed you to see who was coming down the road so you could mentally prepare for who you might meet. She said her mother (my great-grandmother) would usually hide her coin purse under a rock or a root first thing while they were stopped so in case robbers might show up suddenly at least they might not find her coins if they searched her. She also would keep a decoy purse on her person with a few pennies in it, that way she could give them the decoy purse if necessary. You never knew who you might meet on the track-ways so caution was just part of how one travelled, especially if you were on foot or just dismounted from your horse. The tiny thimble must have been in a child’s pocket and slipped out….what a sweet find.

I think your fans love that footpath almost as much as you do! Great video as usual! Thank you for taking us with you!!

Yes! Your silver coin was a reward from the metal gods...or from the only One that matters! All your finds are exciting! So much history there!

I love the bright greens from the rain. That and the gentle rain sounds just make this video special.

Hallo Hans 😊 !! Das war ja wieder ein fantastisches Video von Dir 🤠👌 !! Wir verfolgen deinen Kanal nun schon mehrere Jahre und man kann definitiv sagen, dass wirklich niemand dieses tolle Hobby so stilvoll zeigt und präsentiert, wie Du 👍 . Die Naturaufnahmen sind auch immer wieder wunderschön 😄 !! Wir wünschen Dir zu jeder Zeit GUT FUND 🍀 !! Viele Grüße senden Dir "Nature Check" Nadine & Marcel 👋👋

Cheers Hans! That footpath keeps giving treasures away. Keep going back, please!

It is raining here in England. It seems to have rained since November. As I opened your video, I heard the rain from your detectoring adventure. It was a nice parallelism. A cup of tea, a biscuit, and Hans smoothly talking through finding coins that are half a millennium old. 25 generations have come and gone since they fell from someone's purse. What an amazing path it is that you explore. I enjoyed my 20 minutes with you. PS have you seen the TV show 'The Detectorists'? Hans. A sweet story of friendship through metal detecting. Thank you.

I love your enthusiasm and the joy you express when you make great finds. That last coin was a wonderful find.

The footage of the nature is lovely! 🙂

Sorry I was late responding to the commentary. I am in a nursing home suffering from ALS. Cannot walk or talk, and the life expectancy from this disease is 2-3 years. I just became 69 on April 8th this year. Always enjoy your walks in the area, and finding treasures. Will continue watching as long as positive. God bless you and your searching, Hans. See you hopefully on the next. 👍🇺🇸

Again, another beautiful walk with you through this idyllic wonderland. So happy for you finding these amazing treasures!

It’s such a pleasure to catch up on your beautiful videos. Yes, child-sized thimbles do exist and they are not common to find. I have one undamaged example in 33 years of metal detecting.

Great video Hans! Thanks for taking us along on your detecting adventures

Greetings, Hans. I just came across your video. I live near an old stagecoach road, and the area had an 1800s homestead. I went out looking for artifacts and found old bottles among other items. I didn't have a metal detector, and I have entertained the idea of getting one. Your video has pushed me closer to metal detecting. Your finds are really nice. The 1629 coin you found is super nice. It makes up for the coin that was broken. And all the other items make for a beneficial day, even with the rain. Good hunting to you. 👍

Sehr schönes Video mit dem Wald und seinen zartgrünen Blättern! Merci aus der Schweiz 🙂

Thank you for uploading Hans. Love your work 👍

Marvellous video ! Don’t worry too much about the broken coin. It still looks great, and although its numismatic value is reduced, its historical value is perfectly intact! Enjoy that wonderful find… as all your fans enjoy your wonderful videos!
