Mike Smith of Pembroke sure Wales grew
0:02
up with a metal detector since the age
0:04
of 12 he's been out in fields woods and
0:07
other locations in search of buried
0:09
treasure he never expected to find an
0:12
ancient chain buried a few feet under
0:15
where he stood before we start can we

channel Mike Smith is a metal detecting
0:25
Enthusiast from pembrokesure Wales so
0:28
going out to search for buried treasure
0:30
one rainy day was nothing out of the
0:32
ordinary he never expected to be jolted
0:34
out of his wandering Mind by a loud beat
0:36
from his machine and he certainly never
0:39
anticipated ever having to get the
0:41
authorities involved after the initial
0:43
beep Mike decided to sweep the rest of
0:46
the field
0:47
typically when a person walks away from
0:49
a find the beeping will grow fainter and
0:51
fainter until it stops altogether
0:53
that wasn't the case for Mike it was
0:55
strange the further he walked away from
0:57
his original peep location but louder at
1:00
his detector sounded could it be a
1:02
machine malfunction
1:04
when Mike's detectors started going off
1:06
all around the field he knew that there
1:08
was nothing left to do but trust his
1:10
instincts and his instincts were telling
1:12
him to start digging for treasure
1:14
grabbing his handy dandy shovel Mike set
1:17
to work on the dam soil Mike had used
1:19
his metal detector in this spot before
1:21
divving up a few old pennies that
1:23
weren't worth much this time he had
1:26
dubbed up something that wasn't an
1:27
animal bone or even a type of coin very
1:31
carefully Mike lifted the small round
1:33
object out of the dirt was he positive
1:35
it wasn't a coin puzzled Mike flipped
1:38
the object this way and that trying to
1:41
figure out what it could possibly be
1:42
there was a figure etched into one side
1:45
while the other held some kind of
1:47
message
1:48
unlike the first object this one was
1:50
completely stuck in the mud Mike decided
1:53
to put down his shovel and start digging
1:55
with his hands hoping that his fingers
1:57
would be able to gain some leverage on
1:59
the mysterious item
2:01
Mike started to see signs that the
2:03
mysterious object was connected to
2:05
something
2:06
what that something could be he had no
2:08
idea as any good treasure hunter would
2:11
do Mike continued to dig around the
2:13
stubborn object eventually he came
2:15
across a second object and then a third
2:18
finally he realized that the mysterious
2:21
round objects were in fact links as Mike
2:24
dug up more and more of the mysterious
2:26
links he realized that they seemed to go
2:28
on forever as the afternoon sun began to
2:31
set might began to pack up whatever was
2:34
buried beneath him was going to have to
2:36
wait until sunrise as Mike lay in bed
2:38
that night his mind wandered what if he
2:41
had just uncovered something truly
2:43
terrible and there was a reason the lynx
2:45
were buried he had recently read about
2:47
old burial sites underneath
2:49
pembrokeshire not a comforting thought
2:52
while lying in a dark room could his
2:54
Discovery be one of those ancient burial
2:56
Chambers as soon as the sun crept above
2:59
the Horizon Mike was out the door
3:02
heading straight to the site he left the
3:04
previous evening
3:05
thankfully Mike found the location in
3:08
the exact shape he left it so it's safe
3:10
to say no one had been snooping around
3:12
his Treasure Trove
3:13
with that peace of mind he once again
3:16
began to dig as more of the strange
3:18
links popped out of the ground Mike
3:21
noticed something weird a hole was
3:23
beneath the chain not thinking twice
3:25
Mike thrust his shovel into the hole he
3:28
fell straight through the ground turning
3:30
the light on Mike came to the conclusion
3:32
that he hadn't fallen into a typical
3:34
hole but rather a chamber of some kind
3:37
as Mike inspected the cavern walls a bit
3:39
closer he discovered strange scratches
3:42
littering almost every surface but
3:45
something about the frantically
3:46
scratched markings felt familiar almost
3:49
as if my had seen him somewhere before
3:51
Mike went to the wall with the most
3:53
Vivid markings and ran his fingers over
3:55
them as he took in the etchings he
3:58
realized that his fingers formed DV
4:01
it didn't take long for him to realize
4:03
the conjoined V's were repeated over and
4:06
over dozens of times The Haunting VV
4:09
symbol began to make Mike uneasy as the
4:12
etchings were all over the cavern walls
4:14
making the find more terrifying was that
4:17
the symbols seemed to be scratched into
4:18
the stone by someone with trembling
4:20
hands beside the entrance lay something
4:23
caked in mud
4:24
Mike couldn't keep the shock off his
4:26
face when he finally chalked up the
4:28
courage to wipe the mod off of the new
4:29
discovery
4:31
underneath all of the hardened Earth was
4:33
something brown and hard as a metal
4:35
detecting hobbyist Mike knew the laws
4:37
that King with discoveries such as this
4:39
he had no choice but to call the
4:42
authorities and let them know what he
4:43
had found
4:44
there were so many possible reasons as
4:47
to why someone would be buried beneath
4:48
the farm and each theory was more
4:51
terrifying than the last coming out of
4:53
his own thoughts Mike finally realized
4:55
that he was still holding the object
4:58
more specifically a human molar that's
5:01
when he finally understood the severity
5:02
of his situation Mike had to call
5:05
someone for help Not only was he down in
5:08
a dark hole with no way to escape but he
5:10
had just stumbled upon human Dentures he
5:13
dropped everything and scrambled for his
5:15
cell phone
5:16
he called the officials of the national
5:18
museum of Wales but the response was not
5:21
what he was expecting the officials
5:23
laughed at him not believing one word he
5:25
was saying about the discovery then it
5:28
dawned on him he forgot to mention that
5:30
he had found human remains and not just
5:32
an ancient chain and weird Engravings in
5:34
a cavern
5:35
once he mentioned that detail the
5:38
officials at the museum were no longer
5:39
laughing
5:40
Mike sent them his location and awaited
5:43
the scientists and rescue party
5:45
when the museum officials and
5:47
archaeologists arrived at the scene they
5:49
were in complete awe aside from the
5:52
authorities taking Mike seriously he was
5:54
happy that someone was there to rescue
5:56
him from a hole now it was time to let
5:58
the excavation process with the
6:00
professionals begin the art fact removal
6:03
process began in June four months after
6:05
Mike's February discovery
6:08
with the proper game plan and excavation
6:10
instruments archaeologists were able to
6:12
uncover two rusted chariot wheels
6:14
confirmation that they were about to
6:16
discover something huge Mike couldn't
6:19
believe that this all started with him
6:21
finding what looked like a coin buried
6:23
underground
6:24
he never realized something so
6:26
Monumental could be made out of his find
6:28
according to archaeologist Rachel Hall
6:31
the connected DV is called a witch Mark
6:34
these marks were meant to keep witches
6:36
from entering a building the specific
6:38
Engravings Mike found are known as
6:40
Marion marks
6:42
believed to be the initials of the
6:43
Virgin Mary the Mark is meant to protect
6:45
the sight of the symbols the cavern
6:48
markings were different though they were
6:50
scratched into the wall frantically not
6:52
to mention they were all over the place
6:55
something strange happened in
6:57
pembrokeshire long ago townsfolk must
6:59
have thought the chamber was the
7:00
entrance to the underworld a thought
7:02
that was not taken lightly in 14th
7:05
century Europe but that's not everything
7:07
Allison detected from the virginary
7:09
symbols even though the markings tend to
7:11
symbolize protection against demons and
7:14
other evil spirits there was another
7:16
theory some believe that the village of
7:18
pembrokeshire was facing an onslaught of
7:20
famines disease or poverty these are
7:23
things that very well can be blamed on
7:25
evil forces even though the townspeople
7:27
believe the cavern to be the home demons
7:29
either a queen or Chieftain was
7:32
definitely buried with their Chariot at
7:34
Mike's side Mike said I knew the
7:36
importance of them straight away
7:38
archaeologists believe the Chariot is
7:40
upwards of 2500 years old and contrary
7:44
to what Mike originally believed there
7:46
were no human remains
7:48
the tooth mic found actually belonged to
7:51
one of the horses that were buried
7:52
alongside the queen or Chieftain and The
7:55
Chariot
7:56
after Museum officials roped off the
7:58
area to the public they brought in the
8:00
big instruments considering all of the
8:02
tiny artifacts Mike has stumbled across
8:04
a ground penetrating radar over the farm
8:07
was necessary
8:09
so when we say big we mean something
8:11
that looks straight out of a National
8:12
Treasure movie if you thought the
8:14
discoveries might found by himself were
8:16
insane you'd never guess what geovisible
8:19
sonar can uncover
8:20
after surveying the land the
8:23
archaeologists uncovered what could be
8:25
described only as a ditch ring the ring
8:27
was a 12 meter Circle that surrounded
8:29
the site the thing is they found more
8:32
than one
8:33
researchers found two more burials both
8:36
of which were located in ditch Rings
8:37
this made them come to the conclusion
8:40
that Mike had stumbled upon a Celtic
8:42
settlement that has stayed off of
8:43
everyone's radar for quite some time
8:46
aside from the ditch ring burial sites
8:49
Mike was able to dig up around 34 other
8:51
items including a brooch tool handles
8:54
and bronze bits to name a few
8:56
either this man is incredibly lucky or
8:59
incredibly smart keeping his eye on the
9:01
prize Mike expects at least a six or
9:04
seven figure payout for his discovery of
9:07
course he has to split his earnings with
9:09
the landowners too still not too bad for
9:12
a hobbyist Mike explained that it's the
9:14
biggest ever metal detecting finds as in
9:17
there's never been a chariot ever
9:19
discovered by a metal detectorist there
9:22
have been hordes found but never
9:24
anything like this here's to more
9:26
amazing discoveries for you Mike
