I've never seen so many super rare treasures in one weekend! (Guess which one is my favourite!)

I'm very excited to share with you some stunning & rare finds from just one weekend. I'll be taking a couple to the Finds Liaison Officer at the Museum of London next week. When my friend and fellow mudlark invited me to go treasure hunting with him I didn't imagine I would be going home with some beautiful finds - and in such good condition too! Thank you to Glenda and Malcolm of the Dorset & West Past Finders for organising this dig in Dorset. I hope I can come and visit you again soon. And thank you too to everyone I met that weekend, and for showing me your incredible finds from the weekend.

Please do go and follow ‪@Tob2n‬ my fabulous mud buddy, and let me know if you have any thoughts on these finds or any additional info.

Check out Region Metal Detector Specialists too. They have some great deals on and are so so helpful whether you're a beginner or an old hat at detecting:-

Thanks for watching! See you soon. Love Nicola

  • In 1895 Curtis Veeder, an engineer patented the Veeder manufacturing Co. He made Cyclometers. Which counted the miles rider on a bicycle. Later he manufactured the odometer on speedometer to count the miles a car traveled. So your 1895 token likely fell off someone's bicycle cyclometer.❤
  • Nicola, I am a detectorist in the Southeast of the US. Detecting is not good in my area, but I do watch several YouTube detecting channels, all in the Eastern US. I have seen British coins here as early as the late 1500s, even the occasional hammered silver. But I have never seen the likes of your finds (and the entire group); that was truly an amazing two days! Thank you for bringing it to us, I may need to watch it again.
  • That Field is either a Roman Camo or a Roman Market Place. They should bring in Ground Radar to Check if it could be Roman Camp
  • WOW what amazing finds. My brother used to go metal detecting on the beach where I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Biloxi. It’s a 26 mile long man made beach and the sand is white. It’s beautiful. I’m originally from England but moved here when I was 14. Been here for 52 years. Love your videos. You need to find that one thing that you can retire with, that would be awesome. Much love from Biloxi Mississippi.
  • You have such a sweet spirit. I wish I could come there and mudlark with you. I can’t really walk anymore due to an accident. Your shows make me happy. Thank you.

    The sense of British duty everyone, selflessly clambering around in the mud for charity whilst having fun! ❤

    Great outing, good seeing Tobais. In 1895 the mechanical engineer Curtis Veeder (1862-1943) founded the Veeder Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Ct. It made cyclometers that measured the distance traveled by bicycles. The business expanded to include counters for speedometers, machines, production workers, and other purposes. In 1928 the company merged with the Root Company to form Veeder-Root, a firm that remained in business for decades.

    Coins of Carausius are all very scarce. You found a nice one. I'm so envious! The reverse does NOT show PAX, but the goddess Providentia. The reverse legend reads "PROVID AUG." One of his more common types, but still worth at least 100 pounds, perhaps more. I'd advise against cleaning it. Your Gallenius coin is also fairly scarce, So you had some very nice finds indeed. Congratulations! Runt and Pandora send regards.

    Hi Nicola 38:48 is a centenionalis ("AE 3"), mint of Arelate (Constantina: T?CON in exergue) in Gaul, now Arles France, struck ca. 375-378, of either Valens or Gratian (not Valentinian II, whose portrait is smaller in this issue since he was a toddler in this period). A very rare issue of a generally very common type.
  • The sound of the rain is so soothing. 😌 Enjoyed the beautiful butterfly and the tea and cake break.
  • @stardust1246
    I love this for you Nicola. I love history and if I lived in Britain, I'm sure I would be a mudlark.
  • Hi Nicola. I feel so badly for Tobias but what a wonderful 2 days for you. Sounds like this groups raises a lot of money for very important local needs. If you aren’t asking for donations from us this year perhaps ask us ahead of next year, if you’re rejoining the group. I’d love to offer a little support representing you & your channel. Congratulations again & again, happy birthday ✌️💙🙏
  • I live in CONNECTICUT ❤❤❤❤❤ Also known as the Nutmeg State. I worked in THE CAPITAL CITY OF HARTFORD CONNECTICUT FOR MANY YEARS. Here's some information on Veeder Manufacturing. In 1895 the mechanical engineer Curtis Veeder (1862-1943) founded the Veeder Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Ct. It made cyclometers that measured the distance traveled by bicycles. The business expanded to include counters for speedometers, machines, production workers, and other purposes.

    Thank you Nicola from the US. You are such a blessing for all you do with all these people and us.
  • This was fantastic event. Everyone found such great treasures. I am so amazed at the fact that you find Roman coins and articles. Your Roman coins are lovely. Thank you for sharing this great event with us. 👏🐕🇺🇲
  • What a lovely bunch of people you met down in Dorset and congratulations to the organisers for raising so much for truly deserving charities. I am so thrilled that you found the Roman coins, you deserved them after detecting in that dreadful weather. Poor Tobius , I was willing him to find something, but at least he knows now that it was a faulty metal detector to blame and not his detecting . A really enjoyable video Nicola, Thank you so much for taking us along. Take care and see you soon .
  • Sometimes it's about being out doing things, regardless of the weather. Look at the amazing things you found❤
  • @costrio
    I looked up Carausius, and thanks. I think "liber pater" translates as "free" and "father." The father of freedom? I think the broken ring at 26:20 was cut and folded to fit a smaller finger, perhaps?
  • The Roman's, & Saxons, & French, & all the other ancient peoples who inhabited or passed thru the area must have been wealthy to have lost so much treasure over the years! And congrats on your amazing finds!
  • Totally amazed by the sheer volume of Roman coins and items! I keep thinking I'll find something similar out here in the local desert but it turns out the Romans never occupied Arizona! I love these videos and the histories involved. Best to you always.
