What a day!! After all the hard work of marking the field with the hoard hunter whilst the ground was frozen the farmer only goes and ploughs it…. but every cloud has a silver lining 😆 🤩 🪙 🪙 🪙

"Troops on campaign were not allowed to gamble nor carry gaming devices. They were, however, allowed and expected to carry extra musket balls, usually in a shot pouch which was normally checked by the heft rather than by looking inside. The unit‘s Blacksmith would use a hammer to flatten the balls and tap in the "pips" with a nail. The troops would hide their imperfect "dice" in the shot pouch as they blended in well with their musket balls, safe from the Sergeant's eye yet available for a quick game of Hazzard at the camp fire. Even with the musket ball cubed into a die, it could still be loaded into and fired from the musket which is where we get the term “shooting dice”."

So incredible to find so many artifacts in one place, Roman coins no less! If I were you I would want to understand why so many artifacts in close proximity. Did the field originally contain a trade route, a village? It's another piece of an historical puzzle. I don't know what you plan to do with your finds, but I would encourage you to record them somehow with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland or similar. Artifacts in the context of an ancient civilization or significant geographical region have an important historical context. By the way, I'm very impressed with your knowledge of early Roman history and your enthusiasm!

Much appreciated. I agree, don’t think they’ve been exposed to the elements for long and given the field was deep ploughed last year for potatoes I think there’s a hoard just beyond our reach that the plough is clipping especially as the finds are all strung out in a line! Albert got another one today…. Commodus again which bring us to 144 denarii from this field

Dear Mr Perthshire (John) It’s nearly killed me to wait over 24hrs since getting your latest video notification but this was the first opportunity to watch with my partner and my life would of been made very miserable if I hadn’t waited. But boy it was worth the wait. You have such incredible and varied history. Every paddock every location has a different era of amazing relics to be found, sometimes I wonder how you choose which paddock shall it be today 🤔 Where I live I have Australian Aboriginal history in the form of scar trees and axe grinding grooves, land grants weren’t issued to us white folk till the 1830’s there’s relics to be found but to have what you and the Scottish detectorists have access to on your doorstep you are very blessed and privileged. I’ve said it before but we’re are very fortunate that you allowed us to be apart of your world and we enjoy every detecting step you take, every find you make, your knowledge and history and we get excited when you do. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Looking forward to you on the next.

@heraldeventsandfilms5970 Ahh Jock. You’re back. I saw you had deleted your last comments but you must have missed this one. Hoping I can give you a mention in the next video. Your theory is interesting. I was at the National Museum in Edinburgh last week and not only did I see over 2,000 Roman silver coins from the Falkirk hoard from these exact emperors that I found in this video but the museum also excavated two small Roman hoards from this exact field 15 years ago. I’ll need to let them know that you don’t find Roman coins like this in Scotland. www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/2006_BNJ_76_3.pdf I can only assume this one is another eBay purchase too??

Fingers crossed more to come! A couple of people mentioned a few of the coins were ‘a bit silvery’. We’ve had over 140 denarii from this field from Marc Antony 40BC or so through to Septimus Severus around 210ad. The Septimus Severus silver are often almost black, as are the Marcus Aurelius silver coins but the rest are a mishmash from grey to the occasional bright silver. Two recent ones - one Commodus and one Antoninus Pius have been quite silvery, I was wondering if you thought that might be down to soil type or silver content or a bit of both or might it be an indicator those brighter coins might have come from a pot and haven’t been in the soil as long? Just wondering if they might be an indication we are closer to the hoard site, assuming of course there is one!! Many thanks for any help

Thanks Joe. I’ve had a few comments about coins being too bright or silvery or what not but we’ve had over 300 silver romans of all shapes colours and tones, some encrusted green, others almost black. Two hoard have been excavated from the site by archaeologists previously. We are in a river flood plain and some souls like sand. It varies the colour and look of the coins. I don’t think anyone would be kind enough to plant 300+ denarii and two Roman coin hoards for me, so I just keep on hunting and people will think what they think. Best wishes John

Has this field been excavated/ investigated? If lots of Roman coins, something must be there.

Yes there’s possibly an old Roman fort or civilian settlement or both!

of course i've never seen a die like that ,, but to me it looks like an odds and evens gaming dice ,,,even amount of even or odds , it is probably used with other dice for some kind of game we don't know ,,,, or maybe like heads or tails on a coin

Yes. Or maybe fortune telling? Will the goddess Fortuna be with John tomorrow? 1 for yes, 2 for no. 😂 I think we already know since she appeared for him.

I have goosbums watching the video. I envy your amount of knowing history. I'm living in Holland where a lot of Roman satlements where located. I wish that one time in my life I find a silver Roman coin myself. I'm detecting with a Nokta macro Simplex and I recon that's a desent Machine. Thumbs up and keep diggin....😉👍

Wow John!! Congratulations!! I relive my Ohio artifact hunting days watching your videos. Enjoy the high(although it never really goes away!) Purse spill or hoard is the only question now. I sure hope it’s a 2000 coin hoard for you! But either way, great detecting, great history lesson! Keep it up John; it does an old man good!

Whoa John! Incredible! I love your history lessons but I have to tell you I found myself yelling at you to stop talking and get to finding more! Ha! 😅. 😂😂. You can imagine me yelling at my iPad! I’m just glad my wife wasn’t around to hear me! I don’t quite think she would understand! On to the next.

Beautifully preserved Roman coins!! It would be amazing to find! I've been wanting to go out detecting, just haven't pulled the trigger on it. I'd like to go do it at some old 1800s homestead sites or here in Southern Arizona on my parent's ranch. Don't have the vehicle to get out there though. 😔 Very cool channel! I was thinking (jokingly) that the die was a midevil D&D die. 🤣
WHAT A DAY! with the XP DEUS 2 🤩
