Hello friends
I have taken my last three hunts and some local history to make a video the best I know.
Wear long time recovering musket balls in my hunts on the outskirts of the town where I live. A friend handed me the information on the part of war. In summary is:
The Spanish troops are in the hills surrounding the village and are harassed by French troops and decide to attack. The commander separating the forces and attacked the village in "pincer". The Spanish enter the village and make out the French troops in the open field in its pursuit. The Spanish cross the river and head to a nearby village where battles are exchanged and the Spaniards returned to the mountain. guerrilla warfare, attack and escape. The commander praised the work of officers and soldiers, brave and obedient. The French lost 80 men. The Spanish troops have 4 dead. This action took place on April 28, 1812.
Apart from bullets and button militia uniform, retrieved a pair of aluminum religious medals, one anterior and posterior currency, a rusty knife and a ball smiling round.

The Shooters of Cantabria and the Cantabria Dragons, were brave and warlike troops. Tough people Like Our Earth and no one ever remembered, Honor para los Heroes Cantabros!!

That's an awesome video, Senda! And the finds are amazing! That would be so cool to find something with dates in the 1600's. I'm with Mud, I enjoyed the entire video.
Thank you kind sir, for sharing it :cheers:
 
I'd like to see a vid of YOU metal detecting...and commenting in your language! That would be cool. And some of that beautiful scenery that I KNOW abounds in Spain! What are winters like there? Does it ever snow? I've not seen one snowflake yet, here in Texas.
 
hello
First we stand. Cantabria sits alongside the Cantabrian Sea, logical, right? ...:biggrin: by the highway, from one end to another end, is 120 km. From sea level to 1200 meters altitude, 60 km by road and 1 hour driving, snake road. We have a range that crosses the entire community with elevations around 1600 meters max. Cantabrian mountain range called ...:rofl: ... and a mountain range called Picos de Europa with over 2,500 meters high. Here everything is uphill or downhill, depending how you look ....:shrug: My village near the Saja river, is 50 meters above sea level and at a distance of 11 km by road to the beachs.
Summers are mild, normally temperatures between 25 degrees celsius day and 15 degrees at night. In winter it is not normal that the temperature is below 5 degrees but this last week we have been even -4 Celsius at night and 0 day. I am many nights to detect the beach with just a goretex jacket, even in January. Here the weather is rainy. It rains very often so Cantabria is ever green. It rains even in summer.
Snow is rare in my town more than once every winter, but last week we suffered a wave of polar cold and we had over 15 inches of snow in the village. In winter, always snows in the mountains above 500 to 600 meters. Yesterday was the first of the last days we could move, the snow will gradually out. I uploaded a video from a hill outside the village. The video begins in a field where there is a chapel. This site've hunted several times with good results in ancient coins, seventeenth to the twentieth centuries.
In my next hunt, I will make a video and procurare comment.

That was awesome! Such a beautiful place! I'd hate to be an aerial lineman for the power company there, lol. How far away from the coast are you?
Oh, and thanks for posting that! I'm very interested in different cultures, for some reason...or maybe I'm just nosey, lol? But anyway, I appreciate you sharing!
