I can't wait to find out what the stone slab is. It's really cool that the land owner is interested too. You and Sarah and Jack make Sundays great!

[@noraleestone2859]

Excellent offering today! 😁 Congratulations all around: Sarah's first coin, Willie's Finder's certificates from The Trove, and Jack's superb aerobatic ball catching. 🤣🤣 It will be massively exciting if that slab turns out to be something old and important. 😲😁 See you all next time. 😊❤👍

[@hazel3564]

I love it when Sarah and Jack come along on your hunts, it’s three times the fun! Not that you aren’t loads of fun on your own. Keep on searching!

[@terrimckeighen7154]

Congratulations on your first coin Sarah! Jack Spaniels was the best helper! Can’t wait to see what the slab is!

[@FLSueL]

Boy, talk about a cliff hanger...I can't wait to find out more about the mysterious stone. 😀 It was fun seeing you and Sarah together. I'm glad she found her 1st coin. Congrats! That theatre token was super cool. And, I'm sure it got old, but it was hysterical watching you dig a hole and then Jack depositing his ball in it each time. I'm sure he's super happy that you go to so much trouble digging away just for him, though he's probably wishing you would move a little quicker with getting the ball thrown out each time. 😆 Your sandwich, I must say, sounded...well...not so appetizing. I was wondering if it was something you ate regularly. Then you gave your assessment of it. 1 out of 10. So apparently it was something new you were trying. I see your adventurous nature carries over to food too! 😉Thanks for giving us that update with the your ring find and telling us about your past amazing finds and award. That's so cool! I enjoyed this video (like all your others) very much. Thank you for all your hard work putting it together and sharing it with us all. 😊

[@rebeccawilliams4675]

Thanks!

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks to you too! Willie :)

[@Kazza_8240]

Omg Jack is hilarious when he drops his ball in the holes you and Sarah dig 😂 I laughed out loud for real every time. Congratulations to Sarah finding her first coin! That stone slab is very intriguing indeed, particularly since the land owner didn't know it was there, I can't wait to see what it turns out to be.......maybe it'll be an underground city lol, I was reading about a guy from Turkey who knocked a wall through in his house and found a whole underground city, so my imagination is running away with me 🤣 Thanks for another belter video, I'll be tuning in early next week with curiosity (just call me Isa, I cannae naw know lol). Cheers Willie 🤗

[@MermaidGunner]

Oh and I LOVE that you have your videos numbered! That’s convenient!

You make my Sundays better and I'm always waiting for 3:00 when your video starts. I hope that you find something amazing when you get back to discover what is in that field. Jack is an awesome dog , he makes me laugh I would love to have a dog like him. I can't wait until next week , see you then.

BRILLIANT video Willie. So nice to see Sarah & JS out in the field. Can't wait to see what the ''grave'' is!! Cheers from a Scot in UK, John.

[@catherinewilliams3850]

What an interesting video, can't wait to find out what you discovered, those plastic chocolate boxes are so useful. I used to paint 'roses and castles' canal art, I found them useful for displaying small items, I had a couple of pyramid shaped ones that I made turntables for out of a coupleof old cd's and circular cork teapot stands to display the china thimbles I painted.

Congratulations on finding a real national treasure. I can't wait to see what you've found in the farmers field. Happy this farmer was as interested as you and all of us. Thanks for what you do.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Sandy. All will be revealed this Sunday. Hope you can make it! 🙂

[@shannahenk1655]

Congrats to Sarah on your first coin!!! Your first is older than my oldest. I haven't made it out of the 20th century. The place I live was founded in the late 1800s, so older coins are really rare. I hope your slab turns out to be something really cool!

[@adriannenash9852]

Lovely to see Jack overseeing every find! You are a fantastic team to watch in action, Willie and Sarah. Be well from washington state USA ❤️

[@bevharrison8157]

Thank you so much, I get so exited when I see you videos come up.great finds

[@j.k.rector9818]

For your sanity and Jack’s delight, suggest you get an auto tennis ball thrower. Jack would put the ball in the thrower and after about 20-30 seconds, it heaves the ball and off he goes! If you can bring it with you while detecting (batteries required) then you both win! 🐕‍🦺

[@rockersfromaz3001]

Jack wants to find a ball lol 😂 Jack is absolutely adorable. I love seeing the ball fall in your hole from jack. So cute! And can I just say I absolutely love how y’all say aluminum! Lol I wonder which is the correct way. How you say it or how others not from England or Scotland say it. None the less it is interesting. :)

[@adamssecretgarden]

what a fab video .. excited to see what the thing is at the end x good job Willie x

[@Carolbearce]

So great to see you Sarah and Jack out metal detecting. Jack never seems to run out of energy. I can’t wait to hear what that stone slab is!!

😱 Good heavens! I guess that I could not have resisted to dig this big thing out! At least as much that the complete top of the piece could be seen. Of course I'm now extremely curios and eagerly looking forward to watch the next video about this find. Best regards luck and health to all of you (including Jack Spaniels of course).

Willie that Metall with writing on about prince of Wales, is the imprint in the middle not called feathers instead of Fleur de lys

[@noraleestone2859]

I concur, Rita. I've always heard them referred to as the Prince of Wales feathers. A fleur-de-lis is based on a lily.

[@ritamahlberg8602]

@@noraleestone2859 i copied from Wikipedia: The Three Feathers,[1] commonly known as the Prince of Wales's feathers is the dexter[2] heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales. It consists of three white ostrich feathers encircled by a gold coronet with a ribbon below bearing the German motto "Ich dien" (German: [ɪç ˈdiːn], "I serve"). The crown under the ostrich feathers is shown with cross and Fleur de lys.

[@diannmcdonald4949]

Once again an entertaining video. The unknown stone find has certainly stirred up my imagination. So looking forward to an update on that. Loved learning about your museum finds as well. It must give you a wonderful feeling to know that you have saved a piece of history that now everyone can see and enjoy. Happy to see Sarah and Jack out with you. Have a great week and keep safe.❤🇨🇦

Brilliant show tonight Willie I can't wait to see what is in the field it so exciting 😀 Sarah's 1st coin was fab, well done, but the catch of the day was Jack spaniels ball it landed in every hole you guys dug lol xx

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks Alexandrea! Glad you enjoyed it! All will be revealed on Sunday. And Jack is so funny! It can get a bit tedious at the time with the ball dropping, but it’s so funny to edit! 🙂

@@dirtysecretsofscotland I hope its no an old bit wood too hee haw, this could be mental lol, fingers crossed for Sunday 😁

[@fairyacorn4854]

Very interesting me thinks and I can't wait to see what you found. Did you know that the old bun pennies and halfpennies had a small amount of silver in them? I was told this because if I found one when young my father saved them up and took them to an old lady who rented the house he owned. Love Jack Spaniels with his ball. Hope the finger is better now.

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Thanks - I didn't realise that! thought they were almost pure copper! I do have lots of pure silver coins from the victorian period, but they're sixpences, Shillings etc. The finger is all healed now - thanks. Willie :)

Jack is the star in this outfit! See you on Sunday! 🙂

The piece of metal at 8:07 oddly looks like a piece of lead came that those of us who make stained glass use to assemble our work. Not sure if that is what it is, but that is what first popped into my head when I seen it.

I have 2 metal detectors but my legs haven't let me go out and about for long unfortunately. Congrats! on your rings so cool to be mentioned in the newspaper! such a beautiful area you live in. Have you ever thought to take photographs using your drone and making calenders and windows desktop screens n such to sell? or coasters, wall art?

[@permiebird937]

That flint tool is such a pretty color. I think you may have found another treasure for the museum. The sandwich would be better with apple butter or apple jam. Onions go better with apple than strawberry.

[@markrunsparkruns]

All that was missing was the drum beat into the EastEnders theme! Imagine leaving us hanging like that 😂😂 hope it’s significant! Intriguing!!

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Intriguing.

[@anthonymessina2834]

You need to get one of those plastic hand-held ball launchers for dogs. They really send the ball flying a long ways. That would tire him out in a hurry! They definitely made Cartwheel pennies longer than 1797. They all had that same date. Some say for a couple more years, others say 10 years. Who knows! Lol!

[@mimifredoh]

Suggestion for your sandwich. Instead of strawberry jam, slice an apple and add it to your sammie. It will give you that bit of sweetness and add a pleasant crunch!

[@noraleestone2859]

I used to eat peanut butter, tomato and lettuce, which I've been told was weird. It tastes good, so maybe it's time for me to resurrect a childhood habit. 😜😂

[@margaretlast44]

Sandwich option. Try boiled eggs and anchovies. Taste sensation

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Margaret - that’s pretty close to my favourite ever breakfast! Minced up Anchovies on toast dipped in soft boiled eggs. Mmmm! Willie 🙂

[@lisascenic]

THE SANDWICHES HAVE RETURNED!!! Do you report the leg band information to the appropriate organization? I’m in California, but have spent a ridiculous amount of time listening to BBC nature podcasts, so I’m guessing that the BTO or the RSPB are the ones interested in this data. I’m a bit of a bird nerd. I’ve worked as an aquatic wildfowl volunteer, and two days ago had the notable experience of removing two completely panicked wild turkeys from the warehouse where my studio is located. This involved crawling into the tight spaces the birds had taken refuge in, and carving them with packing blankets. I have new respect for the muscular strength of wild turkeys!

[@middleagecrazy4234]

It’s cool to find treasure to put in a museum but other than a betrothal ring not sure why the saw it as important. Did they not have one or is it older than I understand. The letter was vague to why they kept it. Or to me it was. Yes I see everything as treasure like you I like the history and the whys. Lol

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

In the UK, anything that's more than 300 years old, and more than 10% precious metal is considered treasure - you must hand it in. I knew as soon as I found it, I'd only have it for a short period. But I will receive a small finder's fee that I split with the landowner. Willie :)
