What you called a hook at about 7:00 is like the fitting on a flagpole or boat to attach the rope line to.

These hooks were used in old houses to tie the heavy curtains back in order to let in the light as well.

I thought so as well. A cleat to tie something off.

The item at 7:10 is a “cleat”. Similar to what you’d find on a small boat for lashing rope to.

Looks like it might have been used to anchor the lift cords for blinds in a window.

John, thanks a lot for your videos! It's been a real pleasure for me personally and my family as well to watch your movies as if it were true documentaries, although having an alure of autencity and your perfectly drafted stories of every item you find! Very comforting delivery in terms of your language! Best wishes from Ukraine!

Please stay safe, everyone.

That first hook you found is a cleat that is commonly used on anything using ropes, such as boats, flagpoles, maybe a wagon or other implements. You wind the rope around it and tie it down. I love this one, lots of interesting things you found!

Yup a cleat now if it’s bronze it could be Roman…..???

With the coins from around the world suggesting a possible military association I wonder if there may not have been a (temporary) military camp there for mustering out after the war. The cleat could be from flagpole, the “medallion” a possible military medal/decoration?

The “candleholder” at the beginning look EXACTLY like the bellows nozzle on my grannies fireside kit that now hangs by my wood stove. Same size, hollow at both ends, conical bore to concentrate the power of the bellows. The entire bellows are small, approx 14 inches in length including the nozzle. The silver lidded jar looks like an early lip balm jar that could have been in a ladies saddlebag or purse and fallen out. The lead crown looks like a game piece.

The large "silver" medallion is almost certainly Victorian. The bow, with olive branches going up on either side , is an exact copy of what one finds on the reverse of a Victoria Young-Head Shield-Back Sovereign. On those coins the shield, or coat-of-arms, fills the centre between the branches. Hope this helps with identification. Your finds never cease to amaze me.

Love your silver jar! Can’t believe it found its self in the middle of a field! Congrats on completing the trifecta 😂😂 Every-time you find a door knob I think of the old American TV show Bewitched where an eccentric character “collects”/steals door knobs.

Yeah it’s a beautiful little thing. I love it and it would catch my eye if it was in a shop

Here in the US it was "Sanford & Son" lol. The small jar reminds me of an old lip balm jar I saw in a museum in Appalachia. It was also cut glass with no threads and with an ornate silver, friction fitted lid. Yours is plain, but otherwise very close.

Thanks for the video. I agree that all of your foreign coins were probably brought there by soldiers. They could have been mailed home to someone. My father and some of his classmates would search the garbage bins for things they could sell. During WW2. They discovered this woman who would throw letters in the trash from an old boyfriend. He was serving overseas and didn't know she had a new boyfriend. He kept sending letters and she kept throwing them away.

Another great day out with you.thanks

Another amazing video ! Can’t wait for the next one !

Roman musket balls are very rare. In fact, if Rome had muskets, they might still be ruling.

Congrats on the Trifecta! It's a shame so many coins slowed you down over the years from achieving. Cheers from New Orleans

A wee dram or 2 for Xmas. Thanks for all your efforts.! Bless 👊

In my opinion the little vessel is a fantastic find! I love how well it is made but I can not Imagine why somebody would throw it away or you would lose it. It also kind of looks like it could be crystal glass.

Relics are important and I'm not disagreeing with you but a hammie every ten minutes, especially short cross and Norman are special ;-)

That little container is the gem find of the day! Well done!🎉

Hallmarks! ❤ Love the little jar. Trifecta, what a sence of humor! You're a good one John. Take care.😊

The little glass jar I’d guess would be for some sort of make-up I’d date it to late 1920’s👍

When that little jar popped out of the ground I said, "Is that lid silver?!" Stunning find.

I believe the “candle stick” and item’s like the wall hangers are from the thousands of carriages, carts and such that have passed by. Your opening description of that fields history was excellent and I can picture in my minds eye the many forts, farms, cottages and other dwellings constructed, occupied and now long gone over the thousand years of history in front of you. We Americans have such a brief history. Scotland’s history is truly amazing . Kevin

The hook/ hanger thing was the same as my granny had for her 'pulley' for drying clothes. That's identical.

Well as usual nicely done, nice finds, I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

12:30 well done 💥👏👏👏

Thank You John! Good Job!

A great day, indeed.

Love the silver lidded jar!

Me too. Beautiful isn’t it

John, the cap badge you found is most likely a 1st Royal Newfoundland Regiment cap badge with the Caribou antlers missing.

Silver rouge pot, or dressing table pot. Very cute. Should be able to find the maker from the hallmarks. I want!

🥈only Silver because of the missing Give away! Incredible field a intact little Glass jar with a silver top! Numerous Ploughings survirver! A pity with that 2 Silver Annas, worth destroyed with Hole in it. 1880 edition should be very Rare. Embarrassing I have remembered Wrong! Subscribed since Aug 21 Cleggy Shoutout! Makes me for once an Early Bird🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄Seen them all! Always a Treat, don' t think it finish With romans in this field. Got surpriced With your starsign🐟🐏 I would have Bet on😜🔝❤️

Another great video to accompany my breakfast coffee and toast. Cheers, John.

Excellent Terry. Bon Apetit!

Your little jar is a cracking find John 🤩

The hook thing is a Tie off holder from a kitchen, you pull down on the string and figure 8 it round the holder for the clothes pulley that hangs fromm the cieling.

Your trifecta made me laugh. 😂 That jar is gorgeous. What a field, a smorgasbord. Oh, and what the heck do you feed your dog for dinner? 🤣🤣🤣 Guessing it’s an expression for something not too great.

Das hat wieder so viel Spaß gemacht dabei zu sein, ich habe gelacht, zugehört und gestaunt, danke fürs Mitnehmen...bis zum nächsten mal😄😅

I love how you declare an unidentified artifact, "It's a thing!" Recently subscribed and I have been binge-watching your channel (mashing that thumbs up button of course)! Being in the States, there used to be a Civil War-era road at the top of our property. I have found mini-ball Civil War bullets (3 ringers), military buttons, 1877 Indian Head Penny--all stuff I thought was "old" by U.S. standards. Then I see your finds and realize what the meaning of the word "old" really means!

Yay! Thanks John for an amazing video to enjoy on this ugly rainy windy day here in South Carolina!

Your right on the money it is indeed a candle stick holder nice find, loving the videos 👀👍

Watching from Wisconsin. Video, The Silver Smile. The find you have that you think is a coat hook, looks to me like a rope cleat for a boat. You sad you were by a river. Just a thought.

Another great video john 👍

Lovely day in the rain. The 'hook' object looks exactly like the one used to secure the ropes of a flag to the pole. Similar to nautical tue downs...

Happy Holidays Jon and Family...

thanks john for another geart video and nice finds

Hello from Ohio that was an amazing bunch of finds the Detecting Gods walked with you today. Thanks for sharing loved the bottle and the annas coin looked that one up if not for the hole could be worth a fair amount of cash.

Good job John!

another fantastic day for you John and another fantastic viewing for us.

That thing that looked like something for hanging a coat on is some kind of 'cleat' for tying off to. Maybe for tying off the string for window blinds?

This time last year you were hoping to get to 9k subscribers. You've smashed it like we all knew you would. Well done mate 👍

Thanks for another wonderful video John, I am happy you got your trifecta!

Another perfectly presented video ...good job John 👌👍

Maybe the little jar was to carry salt for a picnic

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in the beautiful hills of northeast Tennessee. Thanks so much for continuing to share these brilliant days of treasure hunting with us. Beautiful silvers from around the world. Awesome.

Victorian pierced coins were added to bracelets or watch chains as souvenirs. The glass jar would be part of a set, usually for women when they traveled. Rouge, maybe. The lion passant (London or an English Assay office) and style of B appear to be 1877. The other two would probably be a leopard head and figure-head, but the placement warped the images. If I'm incorrect, someone let me know what they see, please.

The wee jar reminds me of a beauty spot jar..

That silver and glass vessel is nice👍

As always, an awesome video

9:00 The Tsar, the Keizer, and the King could have formed an early version of ZZ Top. Make music, not war. 🥳 Give it all your loving and all your hugs and kisses too. 😁

Beautiful little container 😊

You used "effective range" - you've had some training. I appreciate your using pint equivalents for value - you are a man after my own heart. Drams would work too lol. How do you clean your finds when you get home?

The wee silver top jar used to be used to keep a lock of hair or first tooth

Great little glass jar, John! I think it's probably part of a dresser set and may be a pill bottle? Love your videos!

After dropping an item your luck improved. Nice finds.

So many interesting finds another great video,thanks John 😁

I loved the silver cosmetic or similar jar with silver lid! Lucky you!!

At 23:44 Newfoundland cap badge from the Newfoundland Regiment during WW1. During that war the Regiment earned the Royal designation for the sacrifice made. Check out the battle of Beaumont Hamel and the Blue Puttees. That is a caribou on there.

Oh yea, your comment “ This would have bought us a fourteenth of a pint of beer……..Darn! Too funny 😆

Thanks for removing all those toxic metals from the food growing feilds!

The perfect start to a Sunday! Cheers, John!

Do you detect near a site that used to be a prisoner of war camp / military base? It would explain all the foreign coins and the door knobs and cutlery. I believe there used to be one in Perthshire.​@@thescottishdetectorist

Really interesting finds this time, particularly the silvers, what a variety! Plus, the build up to, and showing your trifecta gave me a good laugh. Nicely done! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Wat a great day of finds Jon love the pendant and the jar/bottle and the India coin....🍻🍻🍻

Gladstone bags often had similar small glass containers for men as well John, great find!

Thanks 👍

13:00 min and 20:00 WOW! Go Johny!! Wonderful little jar. WTH? Glas + silver? Maybe it’s crystal?

A silver patch box- for the moles they stuck onto their cheeks!

Bro, come to Suffolk/Norfolk and you'll find a dozen hammies in an hour ;-)

A little pill box? lovely wee thing.

Well done John, and that might be a Dux medal, so merry Christmas when it gets to you and the family... Oh an get some DIY done man... Lol

Hi John! I think you little ink well is crystal glass!

That lead crown is exciting - hoping we find out how old it is!

Some very nice finds, I really liked that cute litle pot! Maybe that flat pendant had a cabochon on one side? Just an idea.

Could be some kind of a little cosmetic vessel…good going!😮

That little jar is so cool!

Hi John the medallion looks like its been set in a metal ring and can be pushed out

Another awesome video John 👍👍

The cap badge at 24:17 could be Newfoundland, which are quite desirable when complete

It certainly is. How do I know? My Great Grandfather served in that unit during the great war. I served in that unit in the 90's

I've found an Indian silver Anna with hole in it.. along with a 1913 Australian silver coin (again with holes) side by side on field here in the UK.. 1st WW cavalry soldiers apparently camped there back in the day.. So your theory is probably spot on. 👍

👍👍

That looks like a military medal the hoop would have attached to a ribbon as you seem to have found other military cap badges and other stuff 👍

Great stuff buddy. I had a silver 2 anna coin, when I collected & was surprised a coin could be silver, when it was so low a value.! Silver must've been plentiful & cheap then. Take care. Bless 👊

That hook was one of those fixtures that you wrap a chord around in a figure of eight.

Hi John. The Annas was worth 1 x 8th of a rupee. What a find

Awesome finds. The little jar with the silver top is beautiful. Great hunt and thanks for sharing!!!

22:44 over here in the USA they used to “hole” their coins and thread them to the inside of their clothes (because there were no shirt pockets or pants pockets) if it was used for a charm you would see wear at the top they were also nailed above a door to welcome money or luck into the home.back to the vid….well quite a day for sure very nice finds and I’m thinking that field is possibly an old river landing or crossing rivers change their course over hundreds of years from floods and with that boat cleat at 7:00 minutes I’d say the river definitely used to be closer then as it is now and that had to be a landing area and small town of trade with so many different countries coins found there. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. your friend with the LiDAR could help you find the road leading away….

I think that medal is for metal detecting, first prize, well done. You should wear it on your simit.

John, you've mentioned being in close proximity to a river from time to time. Have you ever given magnet fishing a go?

That pendant that you dug up looks like a coin surrounded by brass or copper ring with loops to hold it as a necklace fob… Maybe it is a coin, check it out, John!

The finds don't have to be ancient to be awesome. This was a really cool and lovely collection again! 😊👍 That pretty piece you found at the 3:50 mark... It could indeed be a candle stick, but my first thought was the tip of a lightning rod maybe? I'm probably totally wrong there. Haha, I grinned, when you found another door knob. For some reason those always get me excited and I wish I could know what kind of door or drawer they once opened. The little glass jar with the silver lid is gorgeous! Was it a pill jar, or did it hold lip balm or solid perfume once? Sweet finds!

7:10 that is a cleat, very similar to the ones used on boats to tie them off but that one is used in a house, or barn for tying off curtains. I have a couple in my trailer for tying roll up black out curtains. Almost exactly that size. That could come in handy.

Amazing John , I do believe you could find sugar in a salt mine.

The reason for the coins, perhaps there were dishonest folks skimming Royal Mail deliveries over a considerable period of time, foreign coins obviously of no use just tossed to the side of the road.
