Brilliant loved the museum beautiful fantastic building me best museum and loved all the Roman finds 👍

Agree on reporting. As a history major history is for all.

I think it’s awesome and righteous to hand in item to the museum ❤good job saving history. Some of the items have been waiting 4000 years two more is nothing 😊

What a fabulous video beautifully narated. Thank you John.....❤

Only one word can sum up this video John - Brilliant 👏

When we were in Scotland 11 years ago, this was the one museum we visited In Edinburgh. I loved it!

I'm British and thought I knew an awful lot of our history, how very wrong I was! I've learned so much from John, I visit Scotland regularly as my daughter lives near Glasgow, I try and visit as many places as I can, Stirling Castle is next on my list! Love Chez in Lliria, Valencia Spain 😘

I have noticed when I am out n about in the woods, that our climate near Pittsburgh, is right on time with Scotlands. The same flowers and mushrooms bloom at the same time. I used to watch a girl who went on walks around Scotland, took photos, and came home and painted them. I don't believe her channel is any longer active as she moved across Scotland. But I also photograph and paint flowers, bugs, mushrooms, ect that I find here. And low and behold every time she would be painting the same object as me the following week. I imagine it took her about a week to get the painting done and the video uploaded so that would make it the same time they popped up here. I plan on going to Scotland in 2025 or 2026, and hope to be able to confirm my suspicions. So you are absolutely right.. it is a Small world. Take care.

Thanks for the update John and I am really happy your detector is ok. I just love watching this channel and the stories you give us with the finds. Hope to see something on your other channel too Scottish Tours. The museum is amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing and hello from Don In Ohio.

Thank you for the museum tour John! What a dream trip that would make for me.

I enjoyed this video. The history is incredible. Scotland is definitely on my bucket list. Thank you, John

Love the National Museum in Edinburgh. We visit every time we come home. Glad to hear your detector is working again.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks so much! This was a real treat.

Liked learning about the museum process - thank you - hi mitsy

i remember when the bull was found Your coil had an attitude, LOL that was cool to see inside the museum, thank you

Wonderful, I dream of seeing Scotland someday.

👍👍👍

❤❤❤ Love your dedication to history!

I would enjoy your going back to the museums to show us items in display. ❤

I loved the kitty! The museum was special too.

Very interesting, thank you.

A grand video that John, and those treasures in the museum just incredible. Good luck with the Flo and look forward to your next detecting films 👍🏻

Sounds like Australia Post has a competitor. Lol. So glad everything goes to the museum. If I ever get to Scotland I will definitely visit the museum. Love the kitty

Thanks, John

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Thanks for the updates. Perhaps, when your DEUSII was acting up…maybe you were near an overhead high voltage wire system…hmmmm. Tech stuff…sometimes they are wonky and sometimes they break. Oh well. Thanks, my friend, for sharing your awesome museum with us. Blessings.

i will visit the museum for sure!

Just stumbled across your channel. Thoroughly enjoyed watching - thank you so much … 😁 I have lived in Australia for decades, and although UK born and bred, I have many happy memories of time spent in Scotland visiting my Uncle Jock and Aunty Aileen. You sound very much like my uncle … 😁 so nice to hear that lovely accent … subscribed 😜

Wow John I feel your pain with having to wait so long that would frustrate me too! I’m from New Zealand & my ancestor was Robbie Burns so when I watch you John I feel like I’m home!! Thank you for your amazing class on history!!❤

Thank you for this video. As someone from the US I was curious about the process of reporting found treasures there in Scotland. The Museum is a marvel! I'd love to go there someday.

Mitzi is a cutie. I spent many formative years playing in a museum. We lived on the University campus that my dad attended. They built a 3 story museum that my brother and I spent many hours in. Your museum is on my bucket list. I could probably spend a whole day in there, especially the basement.

I was wondering about Albert’s bull just yesterday. In fact went back and watched the video where it was found. Still one of the best reactions to a find!

Hi John, thank you so much for this wonderful, informative vid, I was enthralled the whole time, didn't want it to end, you're looking young and healthy, that museum is stunning for its architecture and exhibits, you could wander around for days and still not see enough, the Scots are very lucky to have it, bye and thanks again, cheers!!🥰💕👌👍👍👍

Thanks for the info. I had no idea it takes so long for the museum to process and report. Now I'm looking forward with great anticipation to your next videos. I'm so glad you broke the 2024 silver jinx at last. Cheers from Texas.

Great stuff John 😊 2 yrs along time I hope you get all your finds back. All those finds are amazing 😊❤

Great vid. Thanks👍👍👍

So fantastic that you found all those treasures and got to hold them for a little while! I’m from Canada but had the great experience of visiting Edinburgh and the museum many years ago 😊

I was just wondering how it went. You must be very proud! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤ More treasures to come! 😊

Heading to 40 thousand subscribers! Great job John!

I’ve recently found a bull mount in south wales. I wouldn’t have known what it was had I not kept upto date with your videos mate.

😅very interesting video! Thank you!

Very interesting video, museum is must see for travellers. Maybe one day Simon will have some of his finds on display! Cheers!

It has been a long time since I did detecting. I had no problems with my Garrett. Now detecting feels like such rocket science, when it actually doesn't need to be. So much for updates! Technology has a lot to answer for.

Great episode!

So exciting!

John, Thank you so much for the tour of the museum. That was amazing! Always watching from Florida.

An amazing museum, good luck with your finds, hope you get info on the main ones.

Thank you thank you for your devotion to keeping us supplied with video! I can’t imagine how much time you must spend filming and editing. It is all terribly fascinating. You are also the king of propriety regarding historic finds and sharing them with archeologists. A grand spokesman for doing the right thing for history. I am hoping that of the 183 items, some compensation might help with the equipment costs you must have. Knowledge is very satisfying, but a few pounds in the pocket must certainly be nice too. Thanks again from Canada!🎉❤ and you are right about the museum- after 3 hours we still had only done the Celtic section and a bit beyond. Days it would take us to get through it all! Next trip, I guess.

Fantastic John! You're so lucky to do what you do and where you live is spectacular 👌 Scotland is my ancestral home and I really appreciate seeing the countryside and hearing the accent 😊 and thank you so much for sharing your experience with us all, I'm in New Zealand btw and my Dad is Scottish 👍

Very nicely done!😊

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Well done John, great that you are reporting the appropriate finds, as should all who detect. Your fish reminds me of other Roman depictions of fish, with it's stylised shape and thick lips. Look forward to finding out what the experts say. It's a pity the Museum hasn't allowed you to film this time, the first time you did this was remarkably watchable, and memorable! Yes, I do understand the decision, but I think they are missing a PR trick there and increasing the distance between academia and the general public. Just my opinion. Ah well, there you are. You're doing a great job on this channel, more power to you.

Great video, John! Thanks from Chicago.

I need to visit that Museum!!

Wow! What a beautiful museum….and those exhibits! Ireland is on my husbands bucket list. After your history lessons I hope to see Scotland while we are in Europe.

Thanks for sharing mate. Big fan from Australia

15:21 Wow! Yeah that would be an amazing find.

Omgarsh....so much cool stuff. Thanks for showing.

183!?!?! Fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed hearing your news, and seeing the museum tour as well. You are the perfect advocate for the museum and the finds scheme, they should take you up on the idea. I think Regton needs to play Santa Claus a bit early or late, and gift you a brand new detector.

great video

John you do such an amazing job with your videos. You are so informative and entertaining. A great combination! Thank you from the fields of Kansas! 😂

I've been waiting for this update John, thank you. I hope they kept the round stone with the cross on it, which I think is Knights Templar. We have an ongoing treasure hunt going on in Nova Scotia on Oak Island, which is covered by the History channel. They have found Knights Templar evidence in their diggings. I'm a locked in fan John!

Looking forward to your next video. And it's snowing here again in Canada❤

That horn is awesome!

We don't have anything as old as Scotland or England other than arrowheads. Finders keepers here.

Enjoyed the video 🙂

Thanks again for your hard work,,,,, very interesting..

Absolutely agree with you John regarding declaring finds. I know the rules differ slightly in parts between Scotland and England. Incidentally, I had the exact same thing happen to the horse shoe attachment on my Deus II. I bought a replacement off Ebay for about £8.99 & it allows the control box to be tilted up & down.

He'll of a video John!! Being in US I also was hesitant about the treasure trove laws but you eplained quite a few of my concerns so Thank You Sir!! I myself believe if a find is more important to the treasure hunter then th monetary value you would recieve you should have an option to decline offers!! I'm sure there is a logic to their way of doing thins but I still find it a little one sided? Again a big Thank You and congrats also on all the fine finds you have shown us in past few years!!! Well appreciated for sure!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great info John and what an amazing building the museum is. I would also recomend that people visit the smaller local museums where ever you are as they can really put you in touch with local history and sometimes hold some epic items ( I once saw Napoleons horse whip in Bedford U.K.)😉🇨🇦

Way cool, John. Thanks so much for sharing.

❤❤❤

I love your videos, John. So informative and compelling. Also, you’re a cat person. Triple points all round!

I came back and restarted from where I stopped vid and lo and behold ... sound

I sure hope the museum pays well for the items they keep. And can you then sell the items the museum don't want? Great vid as always ❤

Thank you for the update video - the process is fascinating! You should try an eyeglass repair kit for a small screw driver - I can pick one up inexpensively at my local pharmacy.

This is Thomas from San Antonio TEXAS your platform is so cool and I look for you day by day

That shit is really cool.

Even trusty XP deus 2 was tired of January! But gongrats with 3 years. With some luck, museum will contact You before 6 years anniversary 😜🔝❤️

Thank you for the update video. That is quite an impressive haul. Too bad it takes so long to get a response back once you submit your treasure.

Brilliant video pal that bull almost looks Egyptian in stature don’t you think?Also us Scot’s like to call the glitch ‘a brain fart’ 😂 technology seems to do this once in a while.All the very best 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Very nice updates for the museum handover. You did get updates just the same, and that is great. The museum is something special too.

Great Video John, as always. Yeah, that top connector plastic piece that attaches the receiver unit - cheaply made. I have the Deus 2 also and it's a fabulous machine, but a few of the parts I wish were better made for a device someone is spending ~ $1500 US on - the connector one of them, and the coil charging clip another. Cheers. -John/Vermont

Loved this John! Cant wait to see your next finds!! You had a twinkle in your eyes each time you mentioned the next videos, so i guess you found something very special! 😘 Chez

That bull is amazing I'd love to wear it on a necklace just for a day before it went to museum. Fantastic piece. Keep us informed.

Thanks for the update. The museum looks similar to Jenners I read about on the BBC webpage today.

Thanks for another great history lesson, John! If I ever make it to Ireland where my maternal ancestors came from, I would definitely love to hop over to your museum. One could spend a whole day there, if not more!

Wow that’s lots of finds to put to treasure trove. The flint arrowhead early Neolithic I found went through the process and is now with the the local museum service. It took 6 years due to covid but was great to find out how old it was.

What work has gone into submitting your finds John. As you say, documented and conserved for future generations. Who knows what one simple find will link into, expanding the picture and joining the dots. Frustrating verification takes so long, fingers crossed for the outcome 🙌🏻

I could watch museum footage all day! Thank you!

Wow what a great trip to the museum! U lucky man. And Albert... Well . 😂 Anyway when you showed that little silver button the other day, I was really meaning to get on and tell you (except I was somehow unsubscribed) it's the exact correct size and shape for half a colonial era (in the USA) cuff link. They're always an oval shape rather than circular, and have somewhat of a shank on the back that is more like a glass button than a tomback or dandy style shank. This is where the u shaped link clipped in from either side of the u shape. There would be 3 or so small links between 2 identical pieces where you slip them in the button holes on your shirt cuff. Great find, silver and it broke the dry spell, so can't beat that. I apologize for not answering back on tictoc, I only have it on my Chromebook and my boyfriend's computer blew up. So he has had it and I haven't been able to get on. I did receive notification in email that you responded but I can not answer back that way, and I refuse to load It on my phones that have my banking aps. We've had a lot of issues here in the USA from the Chinese platform, and there's currently a bill to be passed that bans tictoc in the USA. So since I am a part time employee of the u.s. department of commerce I am forbidden to have it on my devices. 😅 Anyway, awesome finds.. can't wait to hear more about that fish! And what did they say, if anything, about that holy Grail.. or the dram that was found on the gallows site? Been wondering about those as well. And to be clear, did they take the items now, or do u take them back in 2 years when they're ready to go in front of the panel? 😅It is quite slow, but I imagine they get loads of artifacts being as the UK has so much history, and mudlarking and detecting are so prevalent there. So, understandable. Sad sad day when you broke your shaft too. Boy that sounds awkward, uh, well.😅 Anywho you know what I mean I hope. Thanks for another great video, and take care. I will get back with you on tictoc as soon as I'm able to get my laptop back. Happy Valentine's as well. And please remind your subscribers that KZread seems to be unsubscribing people again. It's happened to me 8 times on different channels the past 3 years. Crazy I know. Have a good day. "Sass" Aka Glenna

John thank you for explaining the process. It will be fun to hear the followup even if it is a year or two away. 👍 can't wait for the next videos!

Thanks for sharing with us about the relics that you turned in and then giving us a little tour of the museum. What I don’t understand is if those silver items were gifts to a tribe in Scotland why were they cut up?

I absolutely love the rock with the carved religious cross.

Me too Emily. The problem with it is, out of context…. How old might it be. Could even have been made last week, but fingers crossed it’s 1,000+ years old!!

It makes me wish my great grandfather stayed in Scotland

Well you’ll just have to come back!!!

What's understandable about the film ban here? Surely there could have been a discussion which permitted you from getting a visual record of the encounter, it is after all a public place. An agreement to film in a restricted fashion so as not to implicate or show interiours, people etc or even a vocal recording being granted wouldhave helped a lot. I probably would have vocally recorded anyway.

Thanks so much John for the museum tour, much appreciated.

Up on holiday tomorrow in Perth for a week on the edge of a massive farm estate so il keep a lookout for you John
