Loved the double struck silver! The history lessons are the best ever. I really enjoy learning some type of history around the date of the coin. Keep up the great work! We appreciate you! 😊

[@stevebutton7066]

It’s a great find! I would suppose that it was pierced and kept because of that minting fault, just as people today keep faults. I like to imagine that it also may have indicated a person’s political standing by wearing it on a fob or thong. We will never know. Quick internet search shows 1696 silver sixpence such as this fetching £350, so a double struck being a rarity might suggest a higher value. Mention that one on the insurance policy.

Hello I'm in perthshire, was recommended your channel by one of my subscribers, gotta say absolutely love watching this, it's quite fascinating and also good to learn from, I half expect to see you detectoring when I drive around😊, loved the old axe you found in another video. Great stuff, cheers.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Cheers Northern Embers. I tend to detect off the beaten track, not usually near any public roads but you never know! Happy hunting and hope you like the channel. John

[@dixietenbroeck8717]

Such a WONDERFUL day of digging! Yes, loads of detritus (I do hope it is now all headed for a "planned landfill," not just tossed back into the field. It is, isn't it?), BUT... that doublestruck Jacobite coin - FABULOUS! I've never seen one so lovely - you ARE a lucky man, and I hope a "happy man," too! I do _SO WISH_ I could fly into your beautiful "Puuurth-shurrr" to join you in the metal detecting, but, alas, whilst I _CAN_ fly in a plane, I canna walk without severe pain. _(SO VERY SAD_ for me. 😢 ) [PLEASE, do enjoy your D&DD (Detecting & Digging Days), and remember that you CAN do these things. Not everyone is so able, don'cha know!] Your life is full of so many "wonderful things," whether you realize it or no. Here's a wink 'n' a smile 😉 for ya, and a few (((hugs))), too, from this old California woman. I hope your numbers continue to soar, your life to bring you smiles, & all good things to come your way. Stay healthy, John; keep on having fun!

Tangee was started in the 1920’s and is still around today. Apparently, it changes colour after application.

[@dixietenbroeck8717]

Haven't thought about Tangee lipstick in years! My only sister used to wear that stuff, and whilst if I put some on it turned a pretty medium pink, when she put some on it turned a VERY bright orange! (Sadly she had hoped for that pink color.) The difference was almost alarming, but we were very dissimilar in many, many other ways, too. She was a tall, slender (almost willowy!), brunette, with a dark complexion & nearly black eyes, and I was a short, busty, rounded, blonde with pale skin and eyes that my eye doctor called "yellow." My blood type is O+, and hers was AB+ (she is now deceased for a number of years.) Genetic opposites? Oh, yeah, _VERY_ opposite. 😮

Love your knowledge of history, i cant remember what i had for breakfast! Cheers

[@josephcase3105]

In coin terms that strike is known as a (D.D.O.) as double die obverse if it's the front or d d r if it's the back side the R standing for reverse . Or if the mint mark is doubled its called an r.p.m. or repunched mint mark. Quite a great find I've only saw 2 or 3 of those on KZbin being found.

Cracking William of Orange shilling. Double strike quite sought after. Lovely example. Since the battle of the Boyne we have been knocking the bagasus out of each other ever since

[@dougsmith9080]

Hello, I'm one of your recently added subscribers. I do a bit of research into my families ancestry. I just discovered that one of my 6x great grandfather's was imported into Yotk, Virginia as a prisoner due to his participation in the 1715 rebellion. Apparently his nickname was "The Jocobite". Oddly I'd seen this video a couple of days ago, which helped this have more meaning to me. Thank you.

[@BMW7series251]

Brilliant as usual John. That William 111 silver was amazing! I would re-string it and wear it. Cheers, John.

[@gregpreuss8425]

Nice one John! Double struck coins can b3 very valuable. You will have to check into it. Especially since it’s such a nice coin.

Fantastic to enjoy and experience your detecting so vicariously. Every video is a history lesson and this is what sets you apart from the rest - no wonder you've got so many subscribers. Happy hunting, and keep up the amazing work.

[@Chris17198]

Great vid my friend … the double struck William 111 silver is a very nice find indeed … really enjoyed your history lesson on all your coin finds this time round .. your knowledge of royalty is impressive ..you’ve certainly done your homework … that could well be your specialist subject on mastermind …ha ha .. going back to the double struck silver …doesn’t that make it rare and valuable …I may be wrong of course …but I’m sure coin collectors of modern day coins particularly look for double struck coins or coins with abnormalities of any kind made at the mint ..which I believe adds value ..

[@lesaldridge2197]

New permission looks to have a lot of potential, nice silver. Thanks for you know what.😀

[@naztubes]

Belter of a coin. Bet the double-strike adds extra value. Good history lessons here helping me to get to know history of my coins. Had two Dirty Berties up just yesterday. Fascinating factoids!

[@cathybenson5119]

That lead thing looks like a balance weight for a tyre of a car.😊

[@Osmiculture]

That's my initial thought but it seems larger in the light box. I am now wondering (and I am reaching a little) if it isn't a snapped-off base to a galloping horse lead toy, with three points where legs may have been attached.

[@tanjamorris5647]

Would love to watch a video with all your detecting wisdom. Also, would enjoy hearing how you came to pick your detecting partners. Great video, thanks John

Double -struck coins are most often, I believe, valued much higher than straight -struck coins. It may be why it was pierced to boot. Great find there.

[@guyj3025]

I have seen lead ingots like that before, they were believed to be 17thC and used for casting shot. Looks like this permission has a lot of potential, looking forward to seeing what comes out after the harvest.

[@oculusangelicus8978]

The William III coin IS double struck and that makes it worth a great deal more money to collectors because of that fact, and it likely meant a great deal to whomever owned it before and they likely turned it into a necklace perhaps or a key fob like you mentioned. Also the age o fit as well as it being Silver, you have a very special coin my friend. it's likely you'll be asked by a great deal of collectors who want to buy it.

It looks like a coin just like your William III (which IS a sixpence), that was also double struck, sold for £190 in 2010! It was a bit more off struck than yours, but nice find!

[@DeanBooth]

You probably already know this, but Isaac Newton was appointed Warden of the Royal Mint in the spring of 1696 and Master of the Mint in 1699. Maybe he did the double strike. "Sorry, it’s my first day!" he said.

[@becky8571]

The agricultural rod with one screw end is actually a door stop.

[@oldtop4682]

My guess on the lead thing is that it's a wheel weight used for tire balancing. They came in various sizes (weights) and configurations. Neat area for detecting!

Where does the farmer dump the dredged silt? Perhaps it's worth a quick once or twice over with the detector? Who knows what may have been tossed into the stream over the years.

It must be the shear weight of the hammer that causes the double strike. Silver is quite strong I believe. Very nice find indeed ❤

And its great to have metal detecting channel.that talks the history and not current market value. May be an artifact of the treasure reporting system in UK? Looking forward to how to vids, suggest you do shorter vids, each a chapters on part of the detecting guidance, and make a playlist that people can watch the whole set or parts they want to know about. Also, anyway you could set up playlists by field, so I could watch the whole set around one permission? (I know some vids have more than one permission involved, but then could be on two relevant playlists). Take care, be well.
