Yay, it's Simon! Brilliant!

What a day! Great finds! You still crack me up with 🥔 head!

That 1799 coin is so well preserved that you may be able to see, on that slanting bar above the second 9, the word SOHO, showing that it was made at Matthew Boulton's works in Birmingham.

Great info'! Never knew that was there. Thanks.

I like Simons laugh!

At first Simon used to irritate me a bit... But after seeing him a number of times .. I've changed my mind .. He seems to be a very kind, good natured man. I smile when he shows up now..

Much appreciated Jerret … the growth and support has been incredible

The silver coin was nice, but that large George III was the best find so far, for me. And that first brass thing you found I think is part of a door, not a tractor part. It goes on the door over the latch.

Just makes my day seeing a new upload from you. Even better when it's the Dynamic Duo 😅

Blessings my Scottish Detectorist friend…and good buddy Simon, from this old man in Tennessee…And more awesome finds…WOOHOO! SILVER! The drought is finally over. Congrats John. Blessings.

First thought is that the naval badge has a Queen Victoria crown at the top. Certainly does not appear to be a King's crown, so is probably much older than you think.

Fantastic!! Will need to look into it then! Thanks

You and Simon! Wonderful! On the Queen Victoria coin, I’m pretty sure the hubby would choose the pint, and the Mrs. would choose the bread! My great grandmother had a wee problem with her hubbys choice! 😂

Hello to both of you men. What a wonderful field that's turning into Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍3 thumbs up can't wait for the next one .

Well done John, looking forward to part II Love Simon's entry, knew it was him before he was visible by his little chuckle.

I am happy to see you two together again! We can now hear what Simon says. Now we just need the interpreter. :) Yep, the 'Spanish' flu started in the US. and was shipped overseas with the soldiers. Nice diggings. We still have snow on the frozen ground. So that's what become of the t-rump golf course. Congrats on the 40K subscribers.

Thanks!

Thanks Anthony for your generosity!!! Much appreciated and thanks so much for your support!!

You should have thrown the golf ball John just to see Simon's reaction. 😂

Congrats on the 1st silver coin of 2024. You and Simon were having a very good day, I kinda figured you would make it a two part video, so I am waiting fairly patiently. Thanks John!

Great vid you two!!! Congrats on so many goodies and you wonder why we all wait for (not real patiently) for these videos!!!!! Can't wait for part 2!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Worth the wait John. Thank you for another cracking video. NO.1 KZread detectorist.

Well done on breaking the silver coin drought for 2024. You had some other nice finds as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing the reason for the wee lie down in part 2. Cheers from Texas, John and Simon.

Brilliant hope this week gos fast lol time for a brilliant catch up boom ya 👍 😊

Many thanks Peter. Best wishes and see you on part 2

I look forward to Part 2.

Too funny. First thing I thought was, "Why doesn't Simon have a hat? It has to be cold in Perthshire in Febuary." Yes, two fine coins. And I liked the KG1 too. Even though it's pretty crusty. That iron chunk looks like what we in the U.S. call pig iron. It was a cottage industry where locals would process low quality ore and sell the iron to larger steel producers. They called it that because the sprues leading to the molds looked like a sow's teet's. Thanks John. Cheers

We missed you John! Great video 🎉

What we learn about those fields is amazing. Every time you find a field full of muscat balls is an indication that there was a skirmish fought on those fields hundreds of years ago. it's always great to see Simon out with you, he's such a good spirited man with a perpetual smile, he's also a true gentleman. The coins you were uncovering were pretty outstanding, and you finally got back into finding a silver coin, well done. I would love to see you unearth a gold coin soon, you deserve it!

Musket balls? But I like the idea of frozen balls made from muscat on this hot summer's day of 38C

Can't wait to see part 2.

Musket ball madness!!! Great video as always John thanks for sharing and congratulations on the first silver coin of the year! Nice to see Simon out with his own mic too 😁 keep up the hard work mate 👍

That appeared to be a window weight that Simon found. Keeps the window open and not falling shut. 🤔✌️😎

Anyone else try to guess the number of the read-out before John mentions it out loud or is it just me? Most of the time, I guess correctly! So I think I should be a detectorist too. You have an opening John? Lol

If you weigh the musket ball and divide that number into sixteen, it will give you the bore of the musket. Great video as always. Cheers, john, Simon

The Dynamic duo

Couldn’t wait to get done at work to watch this

Simon is lovely. His smile brightens my day.

I'm not as generous, I would be afraid I would miss something if I went to check out someone else's find.

NOOOOOOOO…. Not part 2 😭 was just getting exciting lol. Not bad so far though definitely looking forward to the next installments SO HURRY UP 😬 thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

Superb video. I love the historical info, but I must say the fun and enthusiasm you put into it is genuine and great that we can share it with you. I'm new(ish) to detectoring, and totally get the excitement as I recently found my first silver coin. A half groat from Charles 1st. Also, I got my first roman coin last month too. I'm in Devon, but love Scotland, so keep up the good work, its thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Thank you! 👍🏻

Your George III Half Penny from 1799 is really nice, considering that it's pure copper. You can determine for sure if it's a half penny or a penny by the weight.

The dreaded silver curse is over! Well done guys. Dirty Berty's are hard to find in Canada too. The re-booted program is working well.

Hello John! I really enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Cheers to my "paisano" Simon too! ;-)

Hi John, I am a pretty new subscriber, but I've watched enough that I know if you are laying down and saying Stonker it's going to be a good one :) Congrats on a good day of detecting, but way to leave us with a cliffhanger!! As an American, I am a bit jealous that you can dig up finds even 100 years old and call them not very old. My favorite was the little pencil for writing on slate but I know the silver was the score of this video.

You superimposed a one penny reverse over that 1918 HALF Penny!

Happy birthday John.

Hello to Simon and John from Washington State in the U,.S! Those Spanish and Scottish smiles warming up our damp Winter over here.

Let’s go let’s go treasure and adventure ❤️🇺🇸👵🌺🎉✌️🌎

Hi John great vid as always, that little carbon pencil is Victorian in date and used for writing on slats, I find quite a few at work in various lengths while excavating a Victorian ash tip 😀
