Rodney Cook metal detecting Rally 2024 UK. ROMAN, SILVER & CELTIC!

My first metal detecting rally of 2024 - The Rodney Cook Memorial Rally - held near Bath this year is considered by many to be the top metal detector rally in the UK drawing visitors from all around Europe.

On day 1 the finds didn’t disappoint with SILVER, ROMAN & CELTIC all putting in an appearance with some incredible discoveries coming from the fields.

John, I've watched a lot of various detectorists and I must say - I have tremendous respect for you as an advocate for proper behavior. You enlighten us, the ignorami, to the symbiotic relationship between the detectorist, the farmer, and the treasure trove bureaucrat. Etiquette seems essential to the preservation of the hobby.

Great video John. Great to see you find the Lizzie. 👍

Great Video John as always and some nice bits up. I'm going to the lothian Relics weekender in a few weeks so hopefully I get some roman for myself there! First Scottish dig too!

Ahh, I love Fauxlorne Sausage...with homemade Baps! I wish i could have been there, but so glad you shared this experience with us. Thank you.

I came back from the Rally with a Roman brooch, Roman coin, William 3rd shilling, medieval belt mount and a few pre-decimals, plus COVID!!!

It's great to be back watching your videos John thought I'd start with the RCM even though I have about 100 hours to catch up on!! Great video as always some nice finds well saved thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍

Looks like one of the better digs to bad people don't respect the landowner more. Thanks for sharing John and hope it is Celtic.

Hi John. I found my first roman coin a couple weeks ago and it was a Tetricus radiate! I was so chuffed!! Well done on all your finds, looks like you guys had a great time 😊

[TheBlueMoo]

Glad to see you've upgraded your tent! No feet sticking out this time! 😄

[jonathanstanley]

Love you guys together with Simon of course.! The best trio in metal detecting!

[stockystocks]

Just wanted to say it was very nice to meet Simon and Pete at the RCM Can't wait to watch this video 👍🏻

[raydunhill]

Love your vids John!! Avid beach hunter in Florida but still jealous of the treasures you unearth!! You Sir should have over a 100.000 followers!!!! Top vid on the internet!!! Congrats on the goodies and GET THAT GOLD

[EmilyBoltz]

Im sure the majority of metal detectorists make sure they leave the land how they found it but I really appreciate how considerate you are of the land and land owners. Here I am from California - an 1800s item would blow me away. You find a Roman coin 1700 years old and you can still talk😂
Congratulations !

25mins A complete copper-alloy lug from a chafing dish handle, probably dating to the later Medieval or early Post-Medieval periods, c. 1400

[fiberotter]

Awesome tent! Congrats!!! Watched a channel last night that said one field gave up over 10 fibulas, not all Roman. Anxious to find out about the coin, but looks Celtic to me.

[BigDDaavvee]

Just used your discount code on a deus 2 9 inch coil, ma fields in Aberdeenshire are full of iron so hopefully the small coil will help, cheers John

[kimturner]

Been waiting for this one! Can’t wait to watch!

[Jennifer.A]

Exciting footage of day one! I see a horse 🐎 and of course you left us in suspense 😂

Congrats on you, Simon’s and Sneaky Pete’s wonderful finds. Kudos boys. I laughed when you said you travelled 556 miles to get there. Here in Texas, you can easily drive 800+ miles and not get from end to end. Everything is bigger in Texas. I have to drive 4+ hours just to get to an airport to fly out of Texas
