Your thought was right: "These intriguing coins were struck in the latter years of the Napoleonic Wars as the conflict led to financial instability in Britain and the mass hoarding of gold and silver coins. The Royal Mint could not keep up with demand for replacement currency and - as a temporary measure - began issuing tokens. First, in the form of countermarked Spanish coinage and later as these fascinating Bank Tokens which circulated as legal tender coinage."

@@HLBear I wonder if those inspired the "US Pattern Coins" that came out in the mid 1800's Those are beautiful coins and rare.

I thought maybe grape shot?

14:50 found an auction denoting it as a 1920's Sheffield Weekly Telegraph "Kind Hearted Brigade" Club Medal

Samuel Morse, a New York University professor of painting and sculpture, began working on his version of the telegraph in 1832. Morse was inspired to develop the telegraph after hearing about the discovery of the electromagnet while sailing home from Europe. He spent several years developing a prototype with the help of his partners, Leonard Gale and Alfred Vail. In 1837, Morse received a patent for his electromagnetic telegraph, which used a portarule with built-in dots and dashes. In 1838, Morse presented his invention to Congress, demonstrating how dots and dashes represented letters and numbers using Morse code.

You and Simon should swap machines for a day of detecting.. would be interesting. love the videos John.

Always great to see the two Amigos out together...❤❤

I felt like I needed a lie down watching this fabulous day of detecting. Wonderful.

Simon is such an eternally cheerful fellow, always nice to see him.

So exciting! I've, literally, been on the edge of my seat for the last hour. Well done!

Grape shot from a cannon? Great video as usual. I am spending my time hunting for mushrooms today. Shot a very nice turkey a few days ago. Also been digging bottles and arrowheads.

As always, thanks for taking us along on your treasure hunt.

Thanks for joining me in the journey Sheila. What a day it was!! I could do with a few more like that, that’s for sure!!

Thanks for superimposing the image of coins that haven’t been ravaged by time in the dirt! it really helps us visualize the finds. Giving us a bit of history as context makes it even more fun. Good editing!

Greetings from Pennsylvania USA. John I’m so happy for you. What a day . Love the bank token. Triple silver congratulations 🍾🎉.

Hi John , what you thought could have been a cap badge I believe is part of a flattened oil lamp wick burner, that holds the glass chimney, likely Victorian

Perfect finds!!!

What a day you certainly did have 🤩🤩🤩 amazing variety of finds and did people feed the birds with their coins in that field?! That bank token is a really beautiful and lucky find - worth a nice little amount but I guess as most detectorists do, you’ll keep it, I know I would 😍. Simon needs to get himself a Deus 2! Well done John and well done good old Deus 👏 Great to see you with Simon again. Enjoyed the light box and to see how the silver stands out.

Nice one lads, Simons videos are coming along well, both of you provide some great historical facts. Cheers lads.

Wow!! Simon brought you luck today!! The bank token was my favorite!!🥰🥰🥰

Great video great finds I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

An amazing days dig John I cant believe the amount of coins you found along with the excellent 1/ 6d token and medallions. Very well done paI really enjoyed it, I'll now go and watch Simon's video of his side of the days event's 👍👍

John a fantastic day cracking coins, it was a silver day, Simon is your lucky mascot thanks again cheers

Astounding day! Glad you got a "token of our appreciation"! Cheers from New Orleans

These are the days that keep you going. One for the books! Cheers, and ATB!

Silver bank tokens were issued due to a coin shortage during Napoeonic wars. Nice find and pretty valuable.

Thank you so much for sharing from western Canada! I have enjoyed your speech as my ancestors came from Burgage, Buxton, Derbyshire and someday I would love to visit there someday❣️

Congratulations on a SPECTACULAR treasure hunt!! WOW! I’m blown AWAY!!

Your Chanel is amazing mate! I’m from Sweden and i just received my X Terra Pro a couple of days ago and yesterday I found my first silver coin 😊. It’s really nice and addictive hobby. A few years ago I went to Scotland and traveled around the country with car for a week and if I compare that trip with all other vacations I’ve done Scotland is at the top when it comes to hospitality and helpfulness. The people were really nice and kind. I literally thought that if people were like the Scott’s it would be world peace! Thanks for awesome uploads!

You got me excited with that hand cannon shot! I have used a handmade one as part of a medieval restoration group! We used to call them stick cannons, as they were stuck on the end of what felt like a long broomstick. You would place the end of the long stick against the ground when firing, affording no kickback (since the ground absorbed the shock). They certainly didn't have great aim, but made an impression with a big bang and whoosh sound!

Thanks

That first coin looks like a William and Mary, based on the small offset bust on the right side

I have a couple of silver George III five pence bank tokens, both marked as Irish. I assumed the tokens were only issued in Ireland until I saw your video, so there's been a lot of learning for me in the last hour, very much helped by some of the comments here 👍

Wow John, what a day you had. Great finds! Thanks for sharing with us!

What a terrific day John and Simon 👍

We are getting too much rain down this end of the country to get out with the detector. (Oxfordshire). Luckily we have your videos to watch. Thanks. Good viewing again.

I see you shaved, John! Lookin' good lad, and it's always good to have Simon with you!

You had a fabulous day ! Love the George 3 token , here in Canada there was a severe shortage of small change in the 1820 's so bank tokens and merchant tokens were issued to fill the gap ( counterfeit tokens a.k.a. blacksmith tokens also produced ) . I have been fortunate to have found these but am still waiting for a silver one 😉 Well done John 👍

Another great video john. Id love to see a video of how you go about cleaning your coins! I use a conposite pen for my coppers but i dont even touch the silvers as im too scared 😂

Hi John and Simon😊

That George the 3rd token is very nice, it's probably rare too, well done John.

The Bank of England issued silver tokens of this type from 1811 to 1816, during the Napoleonic Wars, until recoinage in 1816. Worth three shillings, this example shows George III (1760-1820) in armour.

Fantastic, amazing, awesome! What a day, mate! Your finds were top notch, but that token is incredible.

😂❤ nice to see the duo together

Triple silver! Congrats, especially the bank token. Thanks for the Dirty Berties! 😁😆
