[@kimjameson7979]

A guess on 29:47 is a pocket watch/clock balance wheel. Rock on.

Yes I think so, you are right! Thank you very much!

[@karlhubberstey3043]

Nice one Simon

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!☺️

[@SmittyLS]

I love your videos, Simon. You always make me smile. I live in the southwestern USA and my husband was a rodeo cowboy in his youth. He loves Western movies and music so I'm sure he would recognize that music right away. I will test him. Congratulations on your excellent find. 🎉

[@thespanishdetectorist]

That is awesome! Sounds a great place. Thank you for your support! All the best!

[@SmittyLS]

@@thespanishdetectorist We both say it's the theme from the TV show The Big Valley, right?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

@@SmittyLSi think is based in that theme, but is not that theme exactly 👏 good eye, or good ear 😅

[@pauldixon3384]

Fantastic finds Simon m8 well done on the silver

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Paul, a phenomenal day, not easy to repeat 😅

[@ouzalghost8411]

A good find Simon any piece of silver is good regardless of it’s size 😁👍

[@thespanishdetectorist]

It sure is, thank you mate!

[@rhettoracle9679]

The silver piece looks like a snake with three coils. The head is the triangle shape on the back. A snake with a triangular shaped head is usually poisonous. Well done Simon!

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Oh yes! It makes sense, this means that could be really ancient item . Thank you so much!☺️

[@johnburns5783]

Very nice finds Simon. John has taught the student well 😉😉👍👍👍👍👍

[@thespanishdetectorist]

I think so too, great teacher and school in his fields of Perthshire. Thank you John!

[@astridwenham3790]

Some wonderful finds! Hope you and your family have a great Christmas break.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Astrid! You too! Some digs still before Christmas 🎉👍

[@BMW7series251]

Lovely piece of silver Simon. Well done M8. Cheers, John.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you John, happy you enjoyed the item and the episode!👍

[@Cathydavidson061]

Hi Simon, could your "D" , maybe be a tiny buckle? Your iron age silver is beautiful! And maybe a couple more times will uncover the rest of your soldier! haha...Have a great Holiday with your Family and Friends!! xx Cathy

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Cathy, could be an option but there is like a tiny attachment in the back . A phenomenal silver, I will have some more digs before holidays. See you soon!☺️

[@danakeefer9063]

[@thespanishdetectorist]

[@stevebaker9341]

[@Squatch_Metal_Detecting]

Awesome finds Simon! Don’t go back to the Turkish barber for the haircut! John shared a picture with us back in the spring 😂 - Jimmy and Chell (your shirt makers)

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Oh thank you! , No, can’t come back there, was a terrible experience and lasting for a time 🤪😂 All the best Jimmy and Chell!

[@HighlandDiamond1]

👍👍👍

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you for your visit!!👍

[@johnburns5783]

The ring thing at 13:27 looks like the balance wheel of a pocket watch ?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Yes, I think so, thank you for the clarification!

[@phillipyannone3195]

Your second ring looks like a balance wheel from a watch.😊

[@thespanishdetectorist]

I think so too! Thank you!☺️

[@Arty53]

Beautiful little silver relic ,agree that it looks ancient .The metal mushroom looks like a leather stud/rivet ,maybe horse tack .

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thanks for the info, yes that would be great with the relic! All the best!

[@jeffwaterman4855]

13:27 looks like a toy car steering wheel?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Yes I thought that too, but I think is a lost piece from a watch. Thank you!

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Ooo Simoon.. Hair is getting bigger ans bigger.. dont cut it for christmass... We love you natural and hairy🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@thespanishdetectorist]

😂😂 but I will need to fix it or I will be like a sheep . All the best for both of you!! 🙌

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

@thespanishdetectorist but sheeps are cute. Arent't they 🥰

[@allanspittal9320]

Hi Simon ,i noticed your mushroom thing you called it ,100% its a boat rove ,or rivet for joining the planks together ,i dont know where you were ,but was it near water ?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Hi Allan, yes not really far from water . Yes I was guessing some type of nail…Mystery solved now for sure. Thank you for clarifying!

[@olem.skalevik5381]

The metal mushroom is probably a nail from a boat, wood bucket or similar

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Yes, I think so, unusual for me . Thank you!

[@scottemery4737]

On the end of the bottle stopper it looks like there might be a crown shape.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Yes, there is some kind of feature, not sure about it. A bit mystery find… thank you!

[@Ari-jj9op]

Those 'mushrooms' have got to be some kind of leather rivets.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Yes, could be this option too, it has a square bottom..thank you!☺️

[@ruthhutchens1384]

👍👌💮

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Ruth!

[@jositusthefirst]

La pieza redonda con un palo en medio es un volante de reloj. Los tres aritos me parece increíble que se pudiesen fabricar y soldar de esa manera hace miles de años, una pieza de museo, enhorabuena, al final la afición va dando sus frutos.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Gracias Jose, si, buen apunte, es de un reloj. La pieza esa de plata aún ni me lo creo. Ya está notificada al museo. Cuando vaya a ver qué me comentan.

[@ruudhagelaars895]

The three parts are from the mechanisem from a oillamp

[@terrymeininger9491]

The 3 circles of silver(?) Looks hand made and not really strong enough to be a clothing clasp. I'm thinking of a necklace clasp.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Very interesting, thank you for your suggestion. Well, the relic is reported to the museum already so will find out more 👍🤗

[@terrymeininger9491]

A find that at first looks good, then turns into trash is called a BAZINGA!

[@thespanishdetectorist]

😂That must be a fusion from Portuguese

[@ruudhagelaars895]

The silver part looks like one half of a coaching faster otter half is a hook

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you! Yes, and I think is trying to depict a snake as a whole piece

[@ruudhagelaars895]

Looks like a weel from an oil lamp

[@KiwiLass1]

Lead wax seal?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Ah! Good suggestion! It Could be so would be great! Thank you

[@jamesconnell1531]

I've said it once and I'll say it again Simon you are the fuckin MAN mi Amigo

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Muchas gracias amigo for your support! Hope you fixed that coil to find more treasures. Good luck James!👍

[@jamesconnell1531]

@thespanishdetectorist I received my new nut and bolt from Garrett yesterday and the coil i repaired myself i just hope it holds i paid £180 so its not cheap. Cheers mi Amigo

[@MickRiley]

The nail looks like a hobnail from a boot or maybe roman?

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Mick, yes I think is some sort of nail, but not sure about age

[@shaunwhite1182]

BB could be boys brigade.

[@thespanishdetectorist]

Thank you Shaun, ah yes could be another option!👍
