🥳 thanks

[@jameslusco6653]

Good show!! Can't wait to see the next bro. The new coil you got i hope brings you closer to the hoard. See you on the next.

[@BMW7series251]

Hooray John, 19K now!! I think the pearl drop is a cultured pearl earring? Lose that cold soon, cheers, John.

[@donreed417]

Great to watch you John. You never fail to produce a fun to watch video

[@denalinde]

How do you remember so much historical information?? I always enjoy the way you relate your findings to the history of the area. Thank you for the hard work you put into educating & entertaining us people at home. 💜

[@paulinesalinas9443]

Congrats on the 19k and onwards to the 20 which I’m sure won’t be long with such great finds and down to earth commentary! 👍

[@zeemish]

Hey mate, congrats on your hammered silver. Yesterday I found an Anne 1711 silver sixpence, really happy about it.

[@jessecoatney9366]

Welcome back...to the fields of Perthshire... thanks for all the awesome videos. Watch out for sneaky Pete.

[@isaiahpetersen]

Let's goooo! New toy just in time for 20k subs! Can't wait to see what treasures you will find now. Cheers!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Izzy! A pretty good start I’d say!!

[@oldplucker1]

Like the hammered maybe the other bit will come up sometime. The only advantage of the bigger coil would be depth in places like pasture never ploughed or areas done to deat👍h. The extra weight will reduce swing speed and increase fatigue so could get less coverage. The average target is around 3 inches deep with some as deep as 7 inches. Hence why no stunning increase in finds. You might get more finds with a much smaller coil. Smaller coil faster swing, more coverage. Less fatigue!​@@thescottishdetectorist Nice

[@DravinD81]

@@oldplucker1 I don't think they make a sniper coil for the Deus II. Definitely something they should add though.

[@kilner79]

​@oldplucker1 not sure I agree with your theory the bigger coil gives more coverage gives like 5" extra over a 9" that's almost double the coverage over a 9 hour session on pasture you will have coverd like 43% more area and that's potentially 43% more chance of putting the coil over a gold coin if its there ofc thers wasted time pinpointing the target and also time wasted figuring out if its a masked target or just falsing iron as for getting tired I was out with my 13" for the first time over my 9" and I manged around 10 hours no prob probably still lighter than a nox 800 with 11"

[@oldplucker1]

@@kilner79 Swing weight slows swing and fatigue. Big coils do go deeper so good for detected out sites and where targets are deeper. Most digs I do require small coils. Coverage per hour is equal big and small unless you are super fit and can swing the big coil fast for 7 hours. I cover more area with my small elliptical coils or the 9” on my D2. Small coils have way less EMI so sensitivity can be cranked right up.

[@aurorahammer]

Absolutely love your videos, your finds are top notch.

[@garysmith1178]

Great video John. Looking forward to seeing your review on the 13" coil. Congratulations on 18,500 subscribers 👏 👏 Well deserved, you're obviously doing something right. 👍 Hope you're better soon.

[@terryt.1643]

Love your channel. I was running around and when I got home saw your video, made my day! Thanks from snowy California!

[@janetclark5852]

Thanks again for sharing look forward to it!

[@dorianochittaro1993]

The "13" coil listens very well, I also use it in the woods, with a slow scan of the terrain it works wonders with good finds even in depth. Excellent purchase. Happy searching. Udine - ITALY

[@kimberlymolitor354]

Hope you have more diggable finds next time with your new coil😁 Hope your cold is gone soon too. Feel better🥰🥰🥰

[@raydunhill5160]

Great try John!! New coil will deffinitly be a benefit as covering more ground is the key!! Any help in beating Sneaky Pete to the goodies is a plus!!! 😉👍👍👍

[@hadrianjohnstone6578]

What you consider not much is a result in my eye's you have a half hammered silver result you have a George coin a bit more bronze and a nice little bit of mother of pearl that cleaned up and add a chain would make a nice gift to someone you like your not a lot is a lot more than you think can't have coin hoards every day, really enjoy your programme keep it up sir 😁👍

[@annenewton5403]

Your definitely my favourite, you explain so well.

[@happymack6605]

That’s a lovely gift for the XP. Feel better soon. 50K subs by summer! 🤞🏽😊

[@permiebird937]

Congratulations on 19K!🎊🎉 The pearl bead looks like its from 20th century costume jewelry. It is a coated bead that has the pearl finish applied to a plain bead of either glass or plastic. The coating was peeling off in a spot or two, which is a dead give away for costume jewelry. Still its a fun sort of find. The bronze fragment looks like it might have a little texture or decoration on one side, it might be worth a bit more clean up to be sure.

[@slimmingbedlington1200]

Yay 🎉 you made it to 19k subscribers.. well done..

[@kirkyslifestuff4184]

I dug 10 or more shotgun cartridge ends today but found a thrupence 1916 silver in the middle of them Made my day keep it real Love yar video's ❤️

[@stephenmckelvie2032]

Your new coil looks the business. Hopefully it’ll pay dividends. Pearl is the birth stone for June. It could be part of an earring.

[@gregorybarr6112]

I can hear Cleggy when he finds a hammered coin. He gives a long drawn out shout, “HAMMERED….!”

[@gregpreuss8425]

The new coil looks promising John! On to the next!

[@wmarian5027]

20000 by March...thats my prediction :) As always, love the applied detector details in addition to the hunts

Good stuff man. I been on the fence about getting me one of thoughs 13inch myself. Keep using that bad boy and I just might have too

your new coil will come good john congrats on the 19 subs it will be 20 in a few days keep us informed how the coil performs thanks

[@janegrieve]

Brilliant well done 😊

[@HanstheTraffer]

That's a real pearl.(I think) Worth something. I don't know if you can repolish them. The surface is rather soft and scratches easily.

[@jasonfogle7]

You beat me to it, differently a fresh break, last plow. Great hunt and your over 19k subs. Keep up the beep, good luck and happy hunting

[@danielt879]

Great video, you are always so knowledgeable. I have been and purchased a 13" coil today. Cant wait to get out tomorrow and try it out. 😊

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Happy hunting Daniel!! Have a fun!! I find the 13” is harder to pinpoint targets so just watch you don’t split that hammered coin in two with the spade!!!

[@danielt879]

​@thescottishdetectorist Thank you. Just setting off now.. I will take it steady with the spade lol. Have a great day. 👍

[@sjohnson1776]

Very nice! Darn shame that hammered wasn't whole though. Feel better!

Many thanks, hopefully other half to follow another time!!

Hope you get feeling better . Fun hunt.

[@trudychorney3226]

Have fun with the new toy😊 looks like a pearl drop earring, too bad the hammered was broken... looking forward to next vid...take care and get better soon

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Good video and find!

[@rysacroft]

I worked as a pearl diver, I won't say where. Natural pearls are extremely expensive, so the company that I worked for grew cultured pearls. I cannot remember but you should be very careful how you treat that pearl. Some liquids will destroy it!

[@gregorybarr6112]

A very nice coil! It should produce some good finds for you John. I see that you don’t have much in the way of snow . We are nearing the end of February but have too much of the white stuff to even think about hunting.🇨🇦

[@marcharkins2882]

Glad its lighter was wondering about that good trial video for the 13in coil. Maybe you could work that area sometime for the other half of that nice hammered using the newbie coil. You never know!

[@JoRiver11]

It would be interesting to see a comparison of a few detectors. (I have never done it myself, but I'm happy to tag along without knowing what you're talking about lol). For example, if you buried some samples of different things in a couple of metres of soil and then you and your mates, with different detectors, compared signals and guesses. You having a new detector made me curious about it.

[@markparr7224]

I just caught your live video last night, and you found a large penny, It could have been an early Vickie, they are bigger and thicker than the common penny that you usually find. I didn't know they even existed, until Digger Dawn found one, and I lone the Brit pennies, so I had to add a couple to my collection. I have yet to find out what the lighthouse and ship means on them? Could you fill me in, please? Your knowledge on history is quite impressive. And always make your videos very interesting. Thanx again.

[@jerricho02]

Thank you very much for sharing the video. 👍🏻

[@emilygarwood1373]

I was thinking earrings when I saw the pearl. Congratulations on 19K

[@northernerinnc3179]

Exciting to have the new update--- wonder what it will ferret out for you.

[@tonilauge5786]

New coil must be almost new on the market. Nokta macro also has one came last year. So Deus had to respond. War on coil sizes? Don't think any bigger would be useful. Hopefully John get better soon, wacht is Tikking. Looks like sunny weather this Weekend in Scotland high pressure also For Albert and John😜🔝❤️

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Toni! See you on the next dig!!

I had to skip through this my friend as the notification popped up and I wanted to watch it before dashing out!!! What a find!!! That is awesome. So do Scots see Elizabeth the Second as Elizabeth the First? Coinage that was around during WW1 & WW2 are special, to me at least. Thanks again my friend. I feel another coffee break coming on!!🤣🤣

[@andrewdrummond1244]

As a Scot, l would say Elizabeth the first. She had an incredible affection for Scotland, and IMO, we were fortunate to have her as our Queen.

Recently purchased the 13x11 coil and it's 250g heavier than my 9" one. But i also keep my remote in my search bag to lighten the load. Found a hammered coin on the first day out. Have you considered just no using a remote and just judge by the sounds? Greetings from Dundee😁

[@alanburns2882]

A like the 9" coil

[@janet-leeedsuk2024]

Congrats on 19k subs!!

[@fiberotter]

Nice hammered. That pearl looks like it is flaking off the coating. That means it is cheap plastic with a shiny outer coating.

[@WildwoodTV]

get the Ambre Solaire on it! 👍

[@levity2893]

i love this coil , as you say it isent much deeper then the 11" , but the coverage is great , and people think big coils dosent pick up small items , not the case for that coil . only thing i would recommend is to get a balanceblock , it matters on a coil as front heavy . and in my opinion atleast it feels alot better . and as a bonus , if your unlucky , the coilears dosent break, but the balanseblock ears dose. so 30 pound vs 350 is a good investment :)

Hope you feel better soon m8. Another good video. Shame about the broken coin it looks on great nick as well... Still a great find tho.. Lookin forward to seeing what you find next. 🤜🤛

Hi John, can I say without pregidous that I have been using my Deus 1 now for 9 years , and I allways move my coil 3 feet away from where I dig to stop any interference from the coil to the pinpointer when I start to dig as the P,pointer will pick up the signal from the coil and you miss the actual point of the item in the ground, but as you use a garret P,pointer I dont know if that makes a difference as I use the deus M14 P,pointer. GLHH on your next dig. Mac.

Hi John, absolutely love your detecting field trips and your knowledge of coins and historical facts. I recently watched the show (series) Detectorists which is just beautifully directed and acted, gives all your subscribers a great idea of what you and your friends enjoy (for those that haven't watch Detectorists I highly recommend) I discovered a short video on KZbin which is about Hammered coin making at the Tower of London kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKO3aYCYfJyoisk so is worth a watch for those who want to know about how those hammered coins are made. In one of your recent videos you mention about how you and your friends went detecting and all you got was hammered, I live in Australia and to get "hammered" is to get drunk lol....!!! Also I love that camping tent scene where you made a hole at one end for your feet... that was very funny. I await your next video with much anticipation, I hope you get that hoard your searching for and agree that those Roman coins that are extra tarnished/oxidised have been in contact with other coins. Regards Anthony

[@jerettdawson8312]

[@quietspacearts]

[@AlterMann57]

Good day of detecting with the new coil. That Elizabethan coin is a real beauty, and I noticed when you did your summary you didn't include the George V coin from 1918, you didn't lose it I hope. Get well, John. Ginger tea with honey should do the trick.

[@Tseringlhatso]

The pearl looks like it was probably an earring. That part where the surface is coming off, it could be an artificial pearl, with a coating over glass? That bit of bronze looks intriguing, is it patterned?

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for that. The bronze has lines on one side but I think it’s casting lines

[@weedfreer]

If you run the surface of the pearl thing across the surface of your front teeth and it feels 'gritty' then, it may be a real one. If it feels smooth, then, its typically guaranteed plastic.

[@Afro408]

Yeah. It looked to me like a natural freshwater pearl. 🤷‍♂️ Hopefully.

[@andreawashnak630]

I would be over the moon to find that broken coin. Feel better

Glass pearl pendant?

[@johnpatton6470]

Do you think the coin could have been purposely broken like a cut coin? Maybe they didn't have anything to cut it so they broke it in half.

It’s possible John, or maybe it was folder before being lost and just weakened and snapped along the fold seam
