Thank you Paul, yes not bad eventually 👍🍀

It is always nice to find intriguing things. Cheers from Texas.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

It sure is! Yes, one of the joys of metal detecting 😅thank you!!

[@nicholaswelsh8486]

I think you have answered your own question with the larger lead disc when you put it in your palm, its a palm guard. 😊 Used for leather working and the like. Difficult to date I think but could be Roman or Medieval. Don't quote me though, better to ask John. 😂

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thanks for the info! But not sure because is quite a small size. I found one which is with the Treasure Trove and was bigger. I will ask John

[@thespanishdetectorist]

@@nicholaswelsh8486well could even possible. Children were working at very early ages until almost yesterday. But not marks of needles, just that line right in the middle

[@nicholaswelsh8486]

@@thespanishdetectorist it is odd that there is just the one line marked on it. I have found three palm guards , all the same size, and none of them have any marks. 🤔

Thank you Simon. Nice finds. I like that lead disk with he line down the middle. Could be ancient!

[@thespanishdetectorist]

I think so too, but very intriguing what could be… Thank you for watching!👍😊

[@peggybaxter8480]

Thanks Simon. Some good finds! I can't believe you're in a Jacket. Its so hot here in Tennessee you could fry an egg on the asphalt!

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Peggy! Yes I can’t believe I had to wear a jacket in this “summer”. But well, that’s too much 🔥🤪 Stay hydrated 👍😃

Muchas gracias Gloria , besos y abrazos and all the best!!😊

Those glass stoppers cleaned up nicely. When you got them out of the ground they reminded me of green sea glass I used to find on the shores of the Great Lakes of Michigan. I hope you find the bottles next time plus silver and gold of course! All the best to you, Simon.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Very cool, they are beautiful, and reading some comments below are some great pieces of history, happy you enjoyed the episode. See you soon!😊

[@SmittyLS]

@@thespanishdetectorist I didn't mean sea glass in the lakes. 😀 I blame Google.

[@TheInternationalist01]

The glass jar top at 8:45 says "Kilner Dewsbury". This is therefore one of the famous "Kilner jars" which are still made to this day. Great for pickles.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Great, must be something from 50-80 years ago👍

[@jositusthefirst]

Salen cosas curiosas, supongo que tendrás ya un buen cofre con tesoros en casa. Yo nunca se donde guardar lo que encuentro. Suerte en el rally y gracias por compartir.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Gracias Jose, si algo parecido me pasa, tengo una serie de hallazgos malos que no quiero tirar en el jardín, luego lo mejor en botes en casa, Pero bueno esto va creciendo cada semana 🤪

[@zeenatbaer138]

The round disc with the star is an old milk bottle top, from when milk bottles had a much wider neck, with a bevelled inner rim for the disc to sit in. The star could give you a way to find which company it was from, as it's most probably a logo. Some interesting finds, you've got yourself a great permission!

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thanks for that information, very interesting. Yes can’t complain with this permission, appearing unexpected things !👍🍀

[@martinsanders5418]

The token, 1 with a small D = one penny value token. Perhaps a fairground or gaming machine token.

[@TheInternationalist01]

What you have at 29:30 is a token for 1D (This is how one penny was written before decimalisation in 1971). Denhead farm used to be near Methil and Leven.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

And wonderful local history, thank you indeed 🙏👍

[@donreed417]

Naturally you found something to eat first with the apple tree. 😂 Good hunt Simon. Good to see you out.

[@terrymeininger9491]

I think those were crab apples.

[@donreed417]

@@terrymeininger9491 I don't think it'd matter to Simon :D

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Yes I had to try it. They were tempting 😅 but no crab apples. They have several varieties there, so good snack for detecting 👍😅

[@panchomcsporran2083]

Looks like a palm guard, for leather working.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thanks for the info! but I think is quite small for a palm guard 🤔

[@panchomcsporran2083]

@@thespanishdetectorist maybe a child's version 😂

[@thespanishdetectorist]

@@panchomcsporran2083children were working non stop in medieval times so who knows 🤪

[@tanithmessenger3581]

The round piece with a star in the middle was used to put on the top of milk bottles, I believe it was to stop the birds pecking the foil tops (according to other videos I've seen). I thought the other name on the post office seal was Eccles (Manchester area) but parcels makes more sense 😀 Interesting 1pence Anderson token, wonder what it was for?! These type of finds makes me wonder if there was a Victorian dump near by.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Oh thank you for that nice info. I bet some magpies were one of the responsible 😂. Yes a farm token, probably for workers to buy different products from the farm . Actually this token is great, a rare find in such excellent condition. No any knowledge about a Victorian dump nearby as far as I know. Thank you 🙏😊

[@tanithmessenger3581]

@@thespanishdetectorist Haha more than likely!! A great find indeed! You're so welcome.

[@billeckel9260]

I think the Anderson token says 1 d, one old penny?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you ! I will check again 👍

[@guyhummel2847]

Palm guard

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you, it could be but I think is very small for that ….🤔

[@Cathydavidson061]

Hi Simon, is it too small to be a palm guard? Also, that broken cutlery handle...does it have mint markings. looks like maybe silver?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Cathy, yes I think is too small for that, I found one similar much bigger which is in the Treasure Trove, so I think this is something different. But difficult to identify it. The cutlery are copper alloy unfortunately 🫠

[@TheInternationalist01]

The glass stopper at 25:14......., "Frederic Gibson Garton, a Nottingham grocer, invented the recipe for what was to become famous as HP Sauce, registering it in this name in 1895 as he had been told his sauce was being served in a restaurant in the Houses of Parliament.". ......So, you have found the first ever HP Sauce.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Oh amazing piece of history, and that quality trash becomes a good find 🎉😅

[@McIntosh_Coin_Collecting]

First 😂

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Yes, you took the position 🍀

[@dafyddiago]

29:40.... 1D refers to one penny (pre decimal) not first division. A Token......

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you for the info , yes a farm token . Nice find then 🍀👍
