Biggest silver coin I’ve EVER seen! And Pete with an amazing relic 🤩

What a day!!!!
I didn’t do very well…. But you can’t win them all. But I did get a possible Bronze Age fragment and a coin and some other bits and bobs!
Pete pulls out an incredible looking lead item which now I’ve had a look at it, is it a jester playing a guitar (or Lute) riding a sheep or ram 🐏
Can anyone help I.D. this one??
As for Paul, he only goes and finds the biggest silver coin I’ve ever seen 🤩 in the final minutes of the dig ….and it’s from Brazil 🇧🇷
I would love to know how such a coin came to end up in a field in Perthshire, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
It’s days like this that make detecting so addictive…. You just never know what you might find!

Looks like a ram and a jester sitting on it nice find

[@thescottishdetectorist]

That’s what I thought too but some people are suggesting St George and the Dragon?

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

[@boudewijnkaan6945]

Your lucky to find those buttons mate, we here down under find mainly bloody bottle caps. People drink a lot on those bloody hot days and trow all sorts of crap around where ever they are. Good luck with yer metal detecting. Greetings from down under.

[@dennisjamieson3328]

I’m enjoying your hunt. I really like your explanations of your finds. Thanks for everything your doing on these fields.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Dennis

[@scottharding9916]

WHOA! That Brazilian coin is 'UGE!! Very cool!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks

[@davenescot2805]

Looks like you’ve got a fine day down there 👍

[@thescottishdetectorist]

I had a stinker but Pete and Paul did brilliantly

[@Janhyooz]

Hi Guys, great video, really enjoyed it. What a spectacular silver coin that was. I had the biggest silver hammered in my life just before Christmas, but not as huge as your coin. Well found. Wishing you all the very best for the New Year and many more silvers to come, GL&HH, Ian.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Ian and best wishes to you for 2022!!

[@Potatobrains_]

Wow that Brazilian coin was a looong way from home.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Incredible that it made it all the way to rural Scotland

[@MinelabMatt]

Another great video and wow the size of that silver coin 😂👍🏻

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Cheers Matt. Happy New Year to you. God knows how a silver coin from Brazil ends up in rural Perthshire…. But who cares I suppose 😂

[@fredclemons8923]

Wow what a coin great finds guys I really enjoyed the video, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Fred. See you on the next one in 2022 and best wishes for the New Year

[@TeamLynchBMD]

Great hunt, thank you for explaining what you have found. Congratulations on the large Brazilian Silver 👋👍

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks. Biggest silver coin I’ve ever seen that’s for sure!!

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Beautiful silver coin you’ve shown us from Brazil? Strange place to find it in Scotland. Well done gentlemen

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Two of the most bizarre finds I’ve ever seen!

[@AlterMann57]

Happy New Year! I hope 2022 is champion for all of the Scottish Detectorists! Stay healthy!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks James. Happy New Year to you too

[@jameslusco6653]

The 500 reis Brazilian coin stands for "By decree of 1870 500 reale on reverse and front" pedro 2nd emperor and defender" and real date of coin. Hope this helps. Great video hope you guys have a blessed New year

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for the info James and have a great New Year

[@gmclay100]

Love the massive Silver coin 👌.The Silicone tube was a belter mate 🤣,thanks for sharing it gives me hope 😊.All the best for 2022 lads,I'll catch up with you one day 👍.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Best wishes to you too. Over the moon with my ‘smoking pipe’….. might even use it to re-do my bathroom tiles 😆

[@raymondcarroll306]

The drovers used all types of silver coins Thalers and all other coins as long as their weight was an ounce of silver that's what counted when selling and buying at the big markets in the city's you are possibly on or near drovers route. P.S. Been detecting Tayside. Perthshire. And Fife fir over 40 years all the best lads

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Makes a lot of sense, silver is silver after all! European silver I can understand but Brazilian silver is incredible …. Happy new year to you

[@raymondcarroll306]

@@thescottishdetectorist rubber By 1900 the country had exported 24,301,452 tons of rubber. Brazil also exported around 3,377,000 tons of coffee between 1821 and 1860, while between 1861 and 1889 this reached 6,804,000 tons. Technological innovation also contributed to the growth of exports.

[@coreservers]

your lump of bronze is in fact a pot leg off a cooking cauldron. would date 1400-1600, the lead statuette, i had one off a field in dalkeith a few years back it represents george and the dragon, and mines was classsed as a coffin mount. georgian in date

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks for that info. Much appreciated. I’m surprised the mount may only be Georgian as it looks crudely made and therefor older but many thanks for the info!!

[@fiberotter]

Could that be one of the wee people riding a sheep ram? Well done Pete! Paul has a cute sh*t eating grin with that Brazilian coin. And well, you just had sh*t and damned buttons. Happy New Year!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Some suggestion it may be George and the Dragon….. but it’s a strange one anyway!

[@PeaceLoveDoc]

Lovely silver and fun discussion. Did I miss out on any word about the folded gold coin from several episodes back?

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Hi Scott. Happy New Year. Still waiting on the museum even arranging to look at the coin let alone straighten it 😔 one day soon maybe

[@jessestone3915]

Great finds by you all keep them coming have a great New year

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks. Happy New Year to you too!

[@nickmason9408]

Hi john the item you thought was a horse harness is a medieval sword hanger I have found one myself your one looks like the belt loop is broken mate, keep the videos coming you all get some great find’s,happy new detecting year

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Hi Nick. Great info and I think you’re right!! Much appreciated

[@happymack6605]

Fantastic video! The Brazilian coin is an absolute delight; so unexpected👍🏽. Happiest of New Years to you and your fellows, and to your audience. P.S.: it’s still not too late to become a wicked great teacher! Sorry, I can’t help myself😊

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Mack. The Brazilian coin was phenomenal alas me becoming a teacher is I think a pipe dream…. Too old and too far removed from studying! What could have been! Stay safe and have a great New Year

[@robindeer-park5755]

Well Found All Thanks for The Entertaing And Informative Videos Happy New Year.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks and Happy New Year when it comes

[@hollywood3312]

Could the Find of the Day be a strange primitive portrayal of St George and the Dragon? The figure on its back looks like it's struggling, and it looks like it could have a spear shaft in one hand... And WOW that huge Brazilian coin!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

I think you may be right and someone else has confirmed the same theory. Much appreciated and thanks for your excellent help. Happy New Year when it comes and stay safe!

[@bluesingmusic3443]

With all the buttons found in Britain, America, Australia, et al. It's a wonder our ancestors had any way to keep their clothes on. Thousands of buttons. LoL. Great finds though (between the buttons. Does this mean Jagger & Keef were metal detectorists too?) Happy New Year.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Haha 😂 very true! Happy new year when it comes

[@johncroteau1796]

That ring appeared to be a bearing race.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

I’ll need to google that one!! Thanks

[@seisobs1]

Great vids guy's, happy new year from Sunny Stirling.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks and happy new year to you too

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Happy New Year to you and your friends 2022 let’s hope it’ll be a great one. ❤️

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks and to you

[@patodwyer275]

I think you'll have to bring cleggy up with the gpx 5000 there could be a bronze age hoard. That silver coin is a stunner but I would love to know what the lead plaque is

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Seems like it may now be a pot leg…. But maybe Cleggy will come for his holidays at some point either way

[@Tealtra]

That bronze might be worth sending to have it tested. The test I'm thinking of can tell you about the metal's age and origin l. Then you could submit it to the museum if it is in fact mid evil or later.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Sounds like it may now be a medieval pot leg, but still a good find

[@idigdaytona4478]

Happy New Year !

[@thescottishdetectorist]

And to you

[@steveshepherd2712]

That's a whopper of a coin ! must have made a cracking signal 👍

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Blew Paul’s ears off apparently! Happy new year to you

[@lewis1141951]

Here in the US we find silver dollars that are 1oz and by the looks there the same size.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks. Happy new year to you

[@BMW7series251]

Hi there, l see a Petrus 11 silver 2000 Reis going for $360 on Ebay!!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Paul will be a happy man but I suspect it’ll be added to his collection

[@jimconnell8994]

Find of the day needs to be returned to Aberdeen FC trophy cabinet. Pleased 🙏. Slainte 🥃

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Jim. Aberdeens day will come again!! 🏆

[@tonilauge5786]

I dont ser that coming what a whopper of A silver coin. From Brazil! Cant be ridning In a Sheep, Big Wolf Roman anyway interesting. How old is Mr. Darcy? I wish You Happy Hunting in 22 have a great Newyear All the best. 🥳🍾🔝😷

[@thescottishdetectorist]

More bizarre finds from the fields of Perthshire! Happy new year to you

[@Tealtra]

Lol oh no not another button....! Bangs head on nearest wall.

[@andrewjones8942]

the bronze looking object could be a pot leg .

[@thescottishdetectorist]

I think you are right Andrew. Medieval or post medieval, maybe 1200-1500 or so

[@AlterMann57]

Shite day for you, but legendary for Sneaky Pete and Paul! When will you go back to that field where you found 7 coins in a couple of minutes?

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Hoping to get back to that other field in the next few days. It’s ploughed so with all the heavy rain we’ve had it will be tough walking!! So we’ve skipped it to let it dry out a bit!

[@Tealtra]

Wow. Ok I did know the Unicorn was Scotlands national animal. So your saying that way back time the folks of Scotland saw Unicorns? Because they said to be mysterious mystical mythology creatures.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Yes, we are steeped in history and mystery and legend! 🦄

[@detectinghistory3668]

The bronze item looks like it could have been a pot leg.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

I think you may be right…. Shame, I was hoping for a Bronze Age item as the axe came from near by, but still a good find

[@twogengaming741]

I have the garrett ace 250 with original coil is it worth upgrading the coil?

[@thescottishdetectorist]

For the cost I’d upgrade your detector. Get a good second hand one off eBay and sell yours
