It boggles the mind to be looking at a Roman coin that has laid in the dirt for 1800 years. I love that you are so knowledgeable about history! Congratulations!!!

Though you be laying down you are still outstanding in your field John 😁

Outstanding in his field in Perthshire

Love to see the Roman after the oil soak! Special short episode seems appropriate! Thanks!

The French coin is an aluminum coin made 1942-1945 a WW2 occupation coin, on the front it says "Travail, Famille, Patrie" on the backside it says "Etate Française"

Hi John, the incredible success of your channel does not come out of nowhere: you invest a lot of time and work in producing excellent and authentic MD-Videos and one can see you are fully dedicated to your hobby. In particular i like the frequent live digs without annoying background music as well as your profound historic knowledge and your humorous comments (especially about the royals). Impatiently waiting every day for your next video! Keep on swinging! Regards from Austria

Master john... I shed tear for you! I felt the happiness and excitement when you found the roman beauty. Brought a gigantic smile to my face. Congratulations!

Of the 5-10 subscriptions I follow on KZread these are the ones I look forward to the most!

I don’t live in Scotland, I don’t have a metal detector, and with my bum leg I couldn’t even walk in the field with you. But i love your channel, watching what you find, and hearing you share your knowledge. Love your podcasts and i look forward to each and every one!

What amazing finds! Time to celebrate and rest your back! Then more treasure ahead! ❤

Sympathies on your sore back. My grandma always said, "You know you're getting old when your back goes out more than you do!!"🤣🤣🤣Glad you could push through for your terrific finds!!🥰🥰🥰

Wonderful dig!! Thanks for all your hard work in the fields and in production to bring us interesting & exciting videos weekly. Seeing Antoninous like that brings history to life!🤩🤩

John your History Knowledge is Brilliant and your finds are a searches delight

Vichy France 2 Franc coin from WWII. Unusual find

Lovely silver Roman 😍 bucket lister for me

Excellent video, very exciting..love the history lesson..look forward to seeing more

😲Wowzers!! What a coin!! So much detail still on it. Just fabulous. An awesome amount of finds, nice one John!

Great day John, rest your back while sitting on your laurels for doing a stunning job today. Thanks for sharing, just awesome!!

Super finds! I loved that giant buckle found early in the video because ive found a few of them in rural Ontario, Canada at older (for our area) farm sites. They're always a welcome find for me

The history you teach gives each find so much more meaning…😊

It is always a great day if the Scottish Detectorist starts with a wee lie down. Truly an awesome day, John. Not any Roman ruins in Texas, but there are old Spanish settlements, though I have not found anything related to them, I guess they have been detected too much. Congratulations on a spectacular day. Greetings from Texas.

The 2 Franc coin is from (German occupied) Vichy France, 1942-1944, and is made from aluminium. Larger denominations had Petain's head on the obverse.

I’m so delighted for you

French, (Vichy France) Aluminium 2 Franc coin from about 1943. No longer spendable, the French currency was revalued in January 1960, not to mention the adoption of the Euro in January 1999.

Roman coin wow! Greetings from Oregon!

Congratulations on the Roman and other great finds. An excellent day, made better by doing what you love. And a good day for us being able to join you on your adventures. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations, a wonderful find! It truly is incredible to think that no human hands touched it for 1800 years, and then it was in yours 🤩

Excellent video, great finds..very exciting for me and I'm not even a participant 😊, congratulations..always love the history lesson..ty for sharing

Great history coming up. Well saved. Happy hunting out there. Best wishes.

Congratulations on all the lovely finds! The “Royal Flush” run was especially fun! But the Roman coin was really special!

John Thank you for you videos and the history you bring to your videos. I’m from the USA. And I love history from other countries. You’re very knowledgeable. ❤❤

Awesome beyond belief! it waited a long, long time for you! A Beauty!!!!!! Antoninus Pious had some good looking coins. Congratulations! Splendid find! 😁😍🥰

yeah that's a 2 frank coin from Vichy France. "Travail, Famille, Patrie" replacing "Liberte Egalite Fraternite". There's a story there

Wow that was great find,1800 years and you found it. Thanks for sharing, John.

Your French coin two francs are from the facsist Vichy government of France. The leader was A guy called Petain. The motto on the obverse is travaille famille Patri which translates as work family and nation. And the coin is not issued from the republished francaise but from simply France.

Well done from Perth Western Australia

Getting old? You don’t know the worst of it! 😂

What a find! very cool 😎. Also thank you for mentioning Canada with regard to Paschendale. You also mentioned Ypres and Dieppe. Three major battles in which Canada lost too many brave men

well done on the roman denarius nice finds

What a wee stoater of a Roman! Congrats on a great day 😍

What a brilliant day John, perfect weather, perfect finds, and well behaved XP DEUS 2, so happy for you, cheers!!! whenever you find musket balls I think of Simon and his "must have been a lot of angry people in this field"🥰🥰😘💕👍👍👍👍🙏

Exciting news! The inclusion of Rose number [211] beautifully symbolizes our collaborative efforts in this creative garden at CoinEra. Let's continue nurturing this shared space together! 🌹🌷🌼 Thank you for being an integral part of it! 😊💖

Awesome day for you! I was thinking that it would be cool to find a Charles! 😂 what a run of monarchs, and the icing was the Roman coin!

What a good coin day.! So pleased you got that lovely Roman silver.! Great stuff buddy. Bless up 👊

Take care of your back !!

The Bendy Thumb NEVER loses its touch!

The silver Roman coin is a true treasure! And that French coin is actually quite a find. How did a WWII coin from the Nazi backed Vichy government find its way to Scotland? République Française was replaced with État Français and Libérté Fraternité Égalité was replaced with Travail Famille Patrie. The Nazis installed a puppet leader at Vichy, a WWI hero Maréchal Philippe Pétain. The actual leader of France was Charles De Gaulle who was in exile in London.

Cracking Roman find John. Your luck is changing towards roman again. There has to be more there and we are still waiting for you to discover that hoard, it will come I'm sure. Good luck bud and HH.

WOW!!! What a day!! Congratulations on all your great finds, especially the Roman silver coin!

That's one hell of a field!

❤ Fantastic!! Congratulations John, another brilliant find for The Scottish Detectorist!! Can't wait for the next! 👏🏻😘😘Chez

yay john

a good day john nice roman tho well done

Spectacular find, John #wow

I 27:52 couldn't hear myself screaming when F16 took off thru Tijeras canyon east of Albuquerque. They were about 200 ft up

Thank you for another great video!

Wow congrats!! I would just keel over if I ever found a silver Roman! What an amazing find 😍

Awesome Roman silver🎉

Excellent find John congratulations 👍🇨🇦

Congratulations, amazing finds!

What a shocking day for you! Those coins are magnificent! Well done John!!

Your friends are probably kicking themselves for not joining you on this day. You had a stellar group of finds. Congratulations!👍👍

Hi John- Awesome find! A beauty indeed! The Antonine Wall architect is smiling on you today. Looks like Simon missed out on the excitement. Congrats from America!

Epic day John. Congratulations!

George V coins are abundant 😂 Kept the mint busy.

Silver!! So awesome to see the Roman coin find. Thanks for another great video John.

Congratulations John 🎉 Beautiful Roman! Great video.

Wow. I actually have that same posthumous issue denarius of Antoninus Pius. Nice find! Really fun to see one coming from the ground. Mine came from CNG in 1998. It was only 30USD at the time, but it has no provenance. I love how the UK rules help preserve the history. DIVVS (Divus) ANTONINO or some variation.. not DEUS. Yes, CONSECRATIO / Pyre.

You find the most interesting coins, and I just love following along 👍👏👏👏

YAY Scottish Detectorist!! Congratulations on your exciting amazing finds!!

I agree, I would love to see the Roman after a good soak, please? Great show with so many neat finds!

Here he is 😊

Absolutely amazing finds - especially the Roman! Love sharing your excitement vicariously.

Don't call me Shirley 😂😂😂😂

Another great days detecting John 👏

Cracking finds there John, that silver Roman is amazing, would love to see that if you get that crust off it. Great stuff. See you on the road at some point hopefully, I have my best coins I've found in my tour van which I'd like to show you. All the best. Ryan.

WOW!!! Awesome find. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Absolutely great day u had❤👍👋🇫🇮
