Could the first find be a bear? Enjoy watching, could you explain a little more about the numbers you give? That's a great silver hoard. I had one of those coin holders in the '50s, mine held sixpences.

Fantastic find John! The little toy looks like a bear 🐻. We have lots of them here in Colorado, USA 😉

Funny how you said it had turned to “junk” just before you realised what you had. Fantastic stuff, I’m always eagerly checking notifications for your latest content.

It’s strange how it sounded fairly good at depth then like junk once it was out! Lucky the signal was deep or I might have ignored it! I’m guessing the mixture of stainless steel and silver coins throws the machine

That's a bear!

The coin holder you have found were used by Clippies or bus conductors. There were held on a belt and used to give out change after purchase of yer ticket. There should be a spring in the bottom of the holder to push out the coins as they were removed.

I well remember the coin holders that bus conductors used but I didn't think they were made from leather. Also they were made in different sizes to accommodate shillings, sixpences, threepenny bits etc. I think leather ones may have been made and sold to the gentry types and would have held 20x 1shilling coins possibly to stop coins wearing holes in your trousers ( which obviously didn't work in this case 😮) Congratulations on finding it 👍

The owner of that coin holder must have been devastated on realising they had lost it. Great find for you though John. 30k subs on the horizon!!!👍

Well done John , I can just imagine the local landowner walking that field losing that money holder , he must have been a wealthy man. Possible out overseeing their land army girls !!!

That coin holder is bloody awesome

Dont think the workers would have been paid that day for working in the field, the farmer lost their pay! Cracking find!

Thanks Pete. Great suggestion I think that’s what it was, for paying the labourers and it was a berry farm back in the 1940’s!

My thought exactly.

The animal looks like a bear. I wonder if something could be buried beside/behind one of those standing stone gate posts. Such an amazing find with that coin holder. Vendors at ball games used to have similar coin holders in the forties and fifties.

Congrats, that really is a brilliant find and again I'm fascinated with your knowledge of Scotlands history and all the shenanigans of the Monarchy... Keep them coming 👍

Hi, what a glorious scoop, a bounty of silver coins - a real piece of history. A beautiful coin holder, bet it looks perfect when polished up . Also loved the bear/dog. btw your searing heat of 25 degrees 🥵 is my perfect winters day 😊🤣😂. Have a great day cleaning up your hoard.

Immense find John, imagine how devastated the owner was back in the day!!! I'm thinking a soldiers war pay and lost it on the way home. And 80 years later its found. Beautiful story

Unbelievable coin hoard John. Amazing that the coin holder stayed intact all that time! Well found M8. Cheers, John.

Congratulations! That was a great hoard find! Remember to stay hydrated in that heat!

I noticed the stones behind you when you were doing your intro. The lead figure I believe is a Britains Lion Cub, I think this was made 1949 to 1959 John, but not 100% sure at all. Oh my life!!! I was looking at the top of that thing and thought "Is that threaded?" and then it dawned on me.🤣🤣 That is amazing John!!! 👏👏👏👏Really look forward to your videos my friend.👍👍

Could not have happened to a nicer man! Congratulations!!🎉

What a fantastic find. Thank goodness this Scotsman didn't succumb to the scorching 25°C heat before stumbling upon the hoard. Way to go Johnno 🪙😁👍🏼😁🪙

What a dream find John. well done. The chances are it was lost in the 1940's because of the lack of Copper nickel .

Another thought I've had. In the late 1970's people were clambering for silver coins as they were being withdrawn. You'd look through your change for them. Silver was fetching 13x face value. It may have been from someone doing this. Those coin dispensers were popular around that time.

Thank you John for sharing another exciting video with us. I remember as a child dreaming that I was finding coins on the ground. The finds were endless until I woke up and had nothing to show for it! Your money clip was a real find of a life time!

I love the history you share with us!

Woo hoo !! So exciting well done John 👍

WoW, the coin holder was amazing. And, I really liked the little animal as well. What a fun couple of finds. I hope your next trip is just as productive. Greetings from Texas, where the temperatures have been 105 to 114 degrees F for the last few days, that's even too hot for us native Texans. Stay cool and hydrated in the Scottish heat.

Ha! Very thoughtful of the detection gods to serve up such a nicely-stacked silver hoard! Did people use those dispensers instead of a change purse? That's a new one on me.

Amazing. I kept yelling to you "it's a roll of coins" and you finally heard me.

A dream come true, good for you John you totally deserve it

John , the detecting gods definitely shine down on you ! John , still waiting on you to take those silver ingots to the museum to fine out for sure who made them and for what they were used for.

What a find! That was exciting to watch and hear you describe. Well done!

That discovery was amazing! Well done, John!! I'm so happy for you, that's like a detectors dream! Most of those coins are in excellent condition as well. The person who lost it must've been heartbroken. I'm so glad you found that treasure, you deserve it! p.s. I think that wee animal you found is a bear.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.! Fantastic find John.. Well done lad! That's more silver coins in one hole than a lot of people find in a lifetime!😂 HH from Ireland.

One man’s loss is another man’s gain. Poor guy or lady who lost it. Maybe chased by robbers and threw it, thinking they’d find it later. Can you imagine… amazing find.

Oh wow! Want a find! All those beers. Your channel is so much fun to watch. The toy animal was a wonderful find too.

Congrats on the coins! 🎉 I think that little lead figure might be a bear?

“80 Degrees, that’s the kind of temperature that could kill a Scotsman”. That’s memorable and hilarious!

I love all the history you give with each find.

I remember when pound coins came out at first and they had those holders. I thought they were a new invention then lol. What an amazing find! It was great watching you go through them all!

Awesome finds dude!!!!

My absolute favorite channel to watch. Congratulations on your recent find!
