​​@@thescottishdetectorist My son went detecting down the sides of a secondhand sofa, he found 2 sovereigns, then he built me a gaming PC, which cost me another 2 sovereigns. Within a couple of months of careful CURRENCY management, I detected another 2 sovereigns at my local coin shop. Am I getting through to anyone?

20 years toil, to get your eventual reward. It was great hearing the excitement in your voice. Bless up bro 👊

If all the coins that the Scottish detectorist found were equivalent to today’s money, it would be like finding a couple of 1ps and 2ps then finding a pound!

20 years paid off nicely this dig. Congrats brother - it’s a beauty!

The 1939 shilling would be 50% silver. I remember the 1970’s in my teens getting into coin collecting and even then, post-decimalisation, regularly coming across sixpence, shillings and florins from pre-war years in general circulation - they were probably barely worth more than face value as silver prices were obviously very low. How times change - now they are treasure waiting to be detected and re-discovered. Thanks for the entertaining video and congratulations.

Brilliant video John, your photography skills and commentary is fab! So special finding your first gold coin. I only occasionally detct now but found my 5th one 2/52 ago and it was a queen Anne half-guinea but you can't beat the buzz it gives you. Well done my friend. Andy
