Song of a Metal Detectorist (Acoustic Version)
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
My gold stater of the Dobunni tribe
The thrill of finding it I can't describe
Two thousand years lost in the ground
Such a precious thing that I have found
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
This Roman coin found on a farm
A Faustina denarii has so much charm
It was in Pershore in Worcestershire
There in a field in the mud and mire
I'm metal detecting tomorrow
If it's a good one I'll let you know
To find a hammered coin would be great
Then a hammy dance to celebrate
Another coin I can show to you
Is dated sixteen eighty two
It's the best one I've found so far this year
The King's head on it is so very clear
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
How they were lost we will never know
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
My gold stater of the Dobunni tribe
The thrill of finding it I can't describe
Two thousand years lost in the ground
Such a precious thing that I have found
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
This Roman coin found on a farm
A Faustina denarii has so much charm
It was in Pershore in Worcestershire
There in a field in the mud and mire
I'm metal detecting tomorrow
If it's a good one I'll let you know
To find a hammered coin would be great
Then a hammy dance to celebrate
Another coin I can show to you
Is dated sixteen eighty two
It's the best one I've found so far this year
The King's head on it is so very clear
Look at these coins which are so old
Such fine detail I do behold
They were dropped so long ago
By whom they were lost we will never know
How they were lost we will never know
