Cleggy is not wrong John and I would say for content, knowledge and presentation your channel stands out far in front of the rest. I've watched a lot of MD channels and for me I've narrowed down my viewing content down to 2 Gary Blackwell for his excellent skills and excellent knowledge and, your channel for all the previous reasons given above and,you deliver every time in your presentation even if you don't, find anything of real interest. Incidentally, that's a cracking piece of gold you guy up. Cheers John and, keep the vids coming. 😁👍

John, I remember watching that video as though it was yesterday, have I really been watching your channel for two years? You are the best metal detectorists of all, because no-one else gives a wee history lesson about the origin of the coins and relics as you do. Thank you so much for being you, and please make a video with you and silly Simon when the rain ceases (if it ever does at this time of the year). All the best to you.

@jeffbrown438211 ай бұрын
John, I believe I found you around that time because I watched WCC. At the risk of waxing poetic, you didn't find gold - we did. We all live in a time where most ignore history, shun it, even. I believe your channel's growth lies in the fact that you convey that history is worth knowing and understanding. You are a steward, and I'm grateful for your efforts. Keep swinging and talking, it's worthwhile.

Thanks John, I've only just seen your video I've been busy doing rally analysis. My little shout out was quite amusing to rewatch.

John ..Mystic Cleggs prediction is undoubtedly correct … you are going far with this channel .. out of all the metal detectors yours is most definitely the best … your attention to detail is second to none … your history lessons are incredible .. you have the most funny sense of humour … and your catch phrase “welcome to the fields of Perthshire “ as caught everyone’s attention not to mention it’s probably stuck in everyone’s head … And lastly your Scottish accent well what can I say …a delight to listen to … Hey I know I give you a little stick sometimes …in jest of course all in fun ..but I have no doubt this is the beginning of a successful career on KZbin for yourself ..your channel is growing in a incredible rate.. and may it continue to inspire others to subscribe and to take on metal detecting them selves …

Well I completely agree on everything Cleggy says John he was dead right! There’s only you, we watch with Cleggy and Gary. Cleggy is a whiz on the maps etc and Gary on the Deus 2 skills but your detecting and commentary is a pleasure to watch and listen too 👏👏👏 . That gold hammered was amazing and didn’t realise Detectival was held on the Badminton estate before?
@thescottishdetectorist11 ай бұрын
Many thanks Pauline! You say the nicest things!! Yes two years ago September Detectival was held on the estate, about 2 miles away from this year and the land had been detected before just like this year. Hopefully not a third event there!!!

Greetings to the Fields of Perthshire....Yes, Cleggy is a real Genius. He predicted 3 Days prior to the actual Detectival, that Field Number 41 is the most interesting Spot for the Event. He found signs for a Roman Building by his Programm there. When i know it right, the crazy Spaniard Detectorist had found the 2 incredible Silver Roman Coins exactly on that Spot...? So for all you YoungGuns, you can see how important it is, to listen to the Old Cowboys. They had forgotten already more, than you can learn in 2 lifes.....😂😂😂
