[@laurainemoore6888]

Ohmygosh I laughed out loud at the iron!!! That is so funny 🤣

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks!!! Can’t believe how many I’m finding 🤣

[@riffers]

Laughing at my desk at work when you pulled out that box iron 😂

[@lordleonusa]

That last thing you found looks like a wax seal stamp, as the words on it are recessed.

[@Fred-tr8zg]

Nice hunt assortment of finds I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

[@shooterjohn7163]

[@ouzalghost8411]

For a man not feeling a 100% above the water it's 10 out of 10 for duration and determination and yes the military button and the soldier I think are the finds of the day now go find two Paracetamol and a large whisky to knock em back with, well done John.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Nice to see on the news tonight about the new museum in Perth.

[@Jennifer.A1]

Yahh I was looking forward to your next adventure! 🎉 Your bit of porcelain bed pan was definitely the ⭐️ find in my book 😂 I can’t believe you found another iron! They make great door stops when they have their handles 😉

[@bonnerdebbie]

I am glad you are feeling better, but I really wish you had not sent the illness to Florida because I have it now. ha ha I always enjoy your videos, thanks!

[@robinsmith5442]

The pottery at 24:40 looked like a pitcher spout to me?

[@tammykaltreider]

Greetings from middle Georgia, USA 🇺🇸 🍑…glad you are feeling better! Getting older…just wait until you’re in your sixties 🤦‍♀️ ( loved the bonus footage)

[@denalinde]

Posh junk is a great description. 😹 I think it’s going to become part of my regular vocabulary. I love the wee bottle you found on the surface. 😢

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks!! Can’t believe that bottle survived all these years!!!

[@janecroft4896]

Missed you John. Hope you manage to shake the virus completely and feel better. Very pleased you’re back though 👏👏👏👏.

[@Jean.Feigion]

❤Jura!❤

[@unclerojelio6320]

Zulu is my favorite movie.

[@paulinesalinas9443]

Thanks for sharing John, some good finds there and I especially liked your headless man 😮. You’ll have to put all bits of bodies together 😂. Nice little button too! Hope you continue to feel better 👍

[@borc013]

Hope you feel better soon.

[@jillianfortuna2348]

👍👍

[@Nicknofish]

My old mum used to call your affliction, dropsy. Great video as always. Cheers.

[@stjbananas]

Hello, Perthshire, from a sunny and warm St John US Virgin Islands!

[@tanjamorris5647]

Nice little outting. Yura is beautiful, too excited for proper hellos. The box irons are cracking me up. You may be holding a record on how many one detectorist can find in a couple of months. 😂

[@MaryKeane-n8f]

Glad you are taking care of yourself. I hope you had a great day with Simon!

[@lordleonusa]

Feel better soon!

[@HistoryPackRat]

Interesting video as usual. As a retired history teacher, the main reason for bright uniforms was to avoid shooting at your own troops. The "Fog of War" was very real in the black gun powder era. After the first few volleys were fired in a battle the field would be covered with white smoke. Each nation settled upon a color so they could identify their own troops.. Red for the British, Blue for the United States, white I think for the French Royalists, etc. In one early battle of the American Civil war both side wore mostly blue with some units in Cadet Grey. During an early battle the North opened fire (alas very effective fire) on their own soldiers. After that the North kept the Blue and the south went with cadet Grey, though they had trouble importing the dye, so they switched about 1863 to Butternut, or yellow brown.

[@lindaparker8974]

Howdy,from Tejas = friendly

[@tricial4330]

Simon calls it "quality trash", I believe. Glad you're feeling better! Always good to see you and your finds. Nice to see Jura and Lucy, and your lovely wife's feet. Take care!

[@leilanidewitt7442]

Happy you’re feeling better

[@cocojo242]

Love the dogs ❤️

[@rickjones-uu8by]

i hope the farmers appreciate that you do indeed clean up the junk

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Sorry to hear you've been unwell, hope you're feeling better now. Love the button! Fab detail on it. The ring thing looks interesting. Hey Jura (hope that's correct) 🐾🐾

[@junco477]

Keepin’ it real, as always. Thx John

[@tonyaxeman4381]

That is a beautiful shepherd . I watch every day at dinner time .

[@zooropah82]

Hope you feel better soon John.Looking forward to the next video.Buenas noches desde Barcelona.😊

[@cook13doodle16]

❤

[@jeffTriumph2061]

Nice to see your pup. We just lost our 14 yr old English Pointer Daisy. 😢 We miss her. It took a long time for her to finally come... sometimes, lol. She was a great dog. Always friendly and so curious. Good luck with it.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Sport to hear that Jeff. We’ve been there before so know how you feel. 😔

[@jeffTriumph2061]

Thank you. It's been our first time, our first dog. It's getting better, will just take time. Actually your shows help distract us, so thank you. We love the history, and your adventures. Just remember to stay home with your wife enough! Take care!

[@jeffTriumph2061]

Also love your humor!!

[@jeffTriumph2061]

BTW, my wife says your Chinese coin may be 50% silver.

[@davidstrother496]

Good to see you again, John. I hope you are completely recovered from the virus soon. The dig was not bad at all, Potato head and the button were good finds. Will be looking forward to seeing you and Simon in the next video. Cheers from Texas. Say hello to Mrs. John, and pet the dogs.

[@Mountain_Bike_boys]

Great video

[@48thstateprospecting]

First back after the vid…workus interuptus…. Sigh but maneuver to finally finish it lol not a bad day at all plenty of coins and some interestingly old items and that military button was very cool. I think all the irons are saying don’t forget your honey do list lol hello to all at the end thanks for sharing John see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

[@oliverolsen-x5r]

Cool

[@tedcallaway9432]

Well done John! Thanks for the video.

[@Gloria-qy3dd]

Get better John, looking foward to hunt coins with you .

[@alanlucas2886]

yay john glad you ok

[@lordleonusa]

The final year for the 1/2p was 1984. Decimal Day was Monday 15th February 1971, a day of infamy burned into my 11 year old memory forever! (I actually got my hands on the new coins on the Sunday, as I was staying at Ewhurst Green Youth Hostel).

[@LoriZabielski]

Nice finds. Have fun with your Spaniard tomorrow. And Happy Easter ❤

[@raydunhill5160]

Great video John! We all love Simon but always wait patiently for the King of watchable U-tube videos: (The Scottish Detectorist) Thanks John for the finds,knowledge and just overall enjoyable entertainment!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@whitewaterjack3332]

Great content John , keep the hunt going.

[@oldtop4682]

The lead soldier and the Royal Engineers button are my favorites from this day. Fun day.

[@HighlandDiamond]

Thank you 😃

[@Magnet.M.A.D]

Brilliant video John. Thanks for sharing. What an array of different finds today lol.

[@Cathydavidson061]

Hey John, that big lump of lead looked like it had a hoof print in it and a shell fossil off to the side, am I wrong? Enjoying having you back and that you are over "lumpuckaroos".... :D

[@francescrickmore5885]

Lovely to see you. Happy digging

[@zeenatbaer138]

Jura made me laugh .. she doesn't realise she's a movie star !

[@williamhiller3988]

Hey John glad you're better and at least it's Spring. This is the first video where you dont mention pints!

[@andyj775]

Great video 😊 do you have a link to the finds brush you use? Thanks so much

[@slugjones]

Got the same brush from pound land but be interested in the red handle pick please John

[@matthewgrice6902]

Thanks for the video.

[@garysmith1178]

Glad you're on the mend John, look after yourself buddy. The ring thing looks like an annular buckle. Love seeing the dogs 👍

[@GS-fl8le]

We doggies!

[@LaurieLeeAnnie]

I was watching for your next video! Glad you’re feeling better!

[@shawnbaxter1001]

Cool Baxters strawberry preserves.....no relation (that I know of ) haha

[@thescottishdetectorist]

You might have a claim!!! Or just a live of jam 🍓

[@davidlewis9068]

Glad you are feeling better and a decent hunt.

[@jamesconnell1531]

Lovely job son 👏

[@ninfrastructura]

Great video, as usual! What is that camera with zoom and so good close-up capabilities...?! Thanks!

[@calliecooke1817]

Wonderful day, John. Nothing spectacular, but a nice variety. The blob of solder reminds me of a story. I once found a pewter fork on a roof I was replacing. I blew my helpers mind when I used it for solder on the flat seam copper roof. Pewter is literally solder, a tin/lead alloy. LOL. Thanks.

[@jamesclark9128]

Nice John aye was out today to got a nice George 1st cart wheel penny and few other George pennys

[@LassieLori21]

Cheers John. I was wondering if you would consider Simon's permission in Fife. My family is from The Kingdom of Fife, and I would love to see more of where I come from.

[@waynearmstrong5233]

The bed pan object looked more like the pouring lip from a jug? A lady once said to me, Oh its a good dog, one word from me, and it does what it likes! Cheers John!

[@maffysmif]

I loved getting 1/2 ps when i was a kid in the 70s. spent them all on mojo and fruit salad sweets.

[@guyhummel2847]

That piece of lead with the bar in the middle looks like the hem weights we find in the states...

[@terryt.1643]

Jura has grown so much! Glad to see you wife’s feet, LOL, glad you’re feeling better.

[@vladimirmalinkovic7075]

👍🏼👍🏼🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿

[@matthewbrown3477]

Glad to see you again. How far are you from Ferniehirst Castle? Im a Kerr. just wondered?

[@cheriethompson2266]

The last thing you found, which is a heavy stopper may be bronze had something printed on it

[@samueljames9342]

More like a compression washer off an old spark plug, that is the ring thingy you found.

[@Alman7256]

i too was thinking a crush washer.

[@joanhamilton2651]

I see your dog training is like mine...😆

[@rasparr5654]

Cute floofy dog

[@hippyhay1659]

I like that Royal Engineers button.

[@mikepetrucha2774]

On the Queen Victoria coin I saw a head looking to the right at first too.

[@carolh9734]

Sounds to me that you're new Jethro setting in a hot iron hunter. 😁 Now you've got to find a use for them and then you're made.

[@Wildmansart]

We find lots of those hem weights here on Long Island. Sewn into the bottoms of poofy dresses, it kept them “proper”. Also curtain weights were the same thing. Lead with the bar across.

[@AB-ku4my]

Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense on the Royal Engineers button. Grandad was a sergeant-major in the corps so we spent a lot of time in the headquarters WOs and Sergeant's mess in Gillingham, Kent. Actually Brompton, but most folk don't know where that is, so Gillingham it is.

[@redruth-iq8uo]

Farthing! A hammered coin is close by.

[@phailynrowan7976]

The questionable hem weight is the type that were used in the US and I've seen lots of them so this is your confirmation. Glad to see you feeling better too!

[@redruth-iq8uo]

Beauty of a Royal button.

[@scottemery4737]

You know, people have always been drawn to springs. Did you get a chance to check the one where you opened this episode?
