Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Yep, we’ve had lots of rain and lots of sunshine as well, and yep, the grass is high and the mountains are beautiful and green. What a lovely Queen Victoria Silver…WOOHOO! Awesome find.

Looking forward to the big reveal of the Jethro program 👍👍👍👍

At least you weren't completely skunked. Nice finds. Fun hunt and thanks for sharing!!!

Good to see you today....congratulations on your awesome finds 💙

Lovely little silver well done, and you do find a lot of Russian flax bale seals in your area. Ah yes the eternal permission struggle, it is the same for us as well, the grass has gone wild, but when the first cut sileage has been taken, we are back on again. The best land at the moment is sheep pasture, those sheep really know how to get the grass down, so that is what we are going on at the weekend. All the best from Wendy and Jon in Derbyshire. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Great finds John. Beautiful silver coin. Take care and see you on the next adventure.

If you don't have expectations you can't be disappointed. 😊 Nice finds.

Crops where I live are way behind too. Not enough rain here to seed. Probably not until June. Great spade. Looks a beauty

Thanks for the video John, even though it was short for us, it was good to see the few good finds you got and especially silver! We’re having the same issue with our permissions. So frustrating when you have good weather and you can’t detect 🙁. Waiting for the farmers to start cutting the pasture for hay soon 🤞 Looking forward to your next day with Simon to see what you find 😊

Thanks Pauline. Silver is always welcome and just great to be out in good weather but desperate for the carrot 🥕 harvest so I’ve got more land available!!

Feeling the same John. My fields are nearly waste height. Can't wait for them to be harvested for hay, bring on the cutter. Luckily I have nearly 3 miles of sand to scan nearby, so the hunt goes on, but would be nice for some more field permissions, working on it. All the best and GL with Simon. HH... P.s Nice silver by the way.

Romans used to toss offerings into the water of streams or rivers when they crossed a bridge or ford. You might find broaches or coins.

I've missed seeing you out on a dig. Thank goodness you were able to get out and find those good finds!

Glad to see your back, I knew it wouldn't be long

I'm sure you're right about past military occupation in Perthshire but there's also a lot of relics, particularly buttons and insignia which came from army surplus sales providing clothing for the innumerable workers of the fields over many generations which add to the finds but don't neccessarily have a direct military context

Feel your pain brother. I just got about 40 acres of sheep pasture in Fife and am finding fun stuff. As for perseverance - the site is full of bullets and cartridges but after about 30 of them I found this Anne sixpence. For me hammered silver is the goal (don’t know why) but earlyish milled silver is so lovely. Shout if you fancy a few hours - new permission but the owner is lovely and would probably allow me a guest. Oh can’t seem to post pics but you know what they look like 😀

In what form did the flax arrive in Scotland from the Baltic? Was it whole stems, or was the fibre already extracted? Was it not perhaps seeds and the flax was grown in Scotland? Northern Ireland used to have a reputation for flax growing.

@TheInternationalist01

20 күн бұрын

I asked the Internet, it says: "Flax was cultivated in Scotland until relatively recently. After the political union of Scotland and England the State played a major part in encouraging its growth, especially in the years 1727-1834. Flax cultivation had maximum significance relative to the rest of the Scottish economy at the end of the eighteenth century. The abrupt decline of flax cultivation after c. 1820, despite the growing demands of a flourishing linen industry, resulted principally from the ease with which cheaper flax could be imported from abroad."

@thescottishdetectorist

20 күн бұрын

Very interesting info!! Much appreciated. My understanding is that in this area the flax was largely imported in whole stem bales which was then milled. But yes in parts of Scotland it was definitely grown

@TheInternationalist01

19 күн бұрын

@@thescottishdetectorist Surely if the flax was imported in bales, then there would be no need to open those bales in fields, they would open them in the mills, and all the lead seals would be found in or close to those mills, not in the fields. 🤔

Everyone seems to love the fields, I mean they are great when not planted but I seem to remember that there are also wooded areas where people traveled and even had battles. I never see metal detecting in wooded places there.yes I understand that most people traveled the open areas mosty but think about it, where did the people hide out and hide the things they either took or had if they felt trapped or about to be caught? The woods. When the fields are planted move to the wooded areas, might find things that will blow you away, then it's all in you research that could determine if your detecting is good. Just a thought while your permissions are unavailable.

That soil is a lot like our soil on our homestead in a hollow that used to flow with water…lots of clay and rocks. Building my new chicken coop, using a two handed post hole digger, to sink 4” x 4” posts…wow, what a pain for this 67 YO dude.

John, are there no wide unplanted tracks on your carrot field? They'll be ploughed and rolled but left bare for vehicle access during harvest. I assume you've thought of that already, but still... 🙂
