glassy bead thing looks like what was called a cats eye. they used to be in rubber mounts in the middle of the road would shine very bright with reflection from headlights.

Great finds as usual, your all seeing eye is a reflective cats eye from a road - I found some broken ones on a walk along a road once.

Right off the jump, I prefer hearing the signal this way…you do what you like though!

From your first visit here, that hill thing struck me as looking very round barrowish, and then you mention Bronze Age local references which made me even more curious. By the way, the Royal Artillery badge, (the one with the field gun) is actually an officer's pouch badge (too big for a cap).

Spade boy Doug 👍 Nice to see you lot having the craic. I've learnt more history off your channel than O level at school! 🤣 20K giveaway next?

Totally agree definitely a cat's eyes from the old rubber center road markings.

The small glass piece you found ( eye of saron) is an old reflector that would of been in the middle of the road, it would of been mounted in a rubber housing and mounted in the road between the white lines,

Just thinking, check your Cartwheel pennies as sometimes they came in two halves and they would put silver or gold coins inside. The giveaway is the seam around the edge of the coin, you never know. You remind me of Gary Dreyton on Oak Island, getting someone to dig for you lol, what a couple of helpful fellows, hope you bought Martin and Albert a beer for being the dig masters for the day. Nice haul. All the best to you and the guys. HH

Just got myself some ear buds. Wow! Seems like I’m right there with you. Just a note, corps is pronounced “Kor”. The “p” and the “s” are silent. Loved this video. Great fun guys!

Glass bead , I think it’s a Cats eye , usually in the middle of the road? I found two in a field in South Wales identical to that , brilliant channel 👍

The mini-Sauron item looks a lot like the reflective buttons on highway signs from the mid 50’s to the mid 70s here in the US. The buttons were placed in the lines of letters/numbers which were painted in reflective paint. It may not translate to Scotland however.
