Kids "Cap" gun. Can tell by the ridges that make the cap explode.

The small tube looks like the message holder to attach to bird’s legs for sending notes.

I was thinking the same thing, homing pigeon from WW1?

[@phillipselwyn1600]

first thing that came to my mind.

Who else is checking The Scottish Detectorist every day, looking for a new video or Part 2? We miss you, John!

[@tanjamorris5647]

You’re going to need a caddy soon to carry all your implements and perhaps to make sure you brought everything 😂. Thanks for another great video.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Is that you volunteering 😂

[@Blessings.429]

Howdy, blessings for a great day coming to you from Perth, Western Australia 😊

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks and best wishes to you. Glad you enjoyed

[@emilyjayne77]

10:30 maybe a note holder for a carrier pigeon? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@NET-POSITIVE]

That small item just over 10:25 is a message carrier that is used on carrier pigeons.

[@cathymora9106]

The suspense while you're digging and cleaning off the coin just kills me!

[@dyaneolafsmama5862]

Look at you!!! Coin drunk again on this permission! What a wonderful Mother’s Day gift! Thank you John for sharing the history. The countryside, and the fun. Ohhh…that stone wall should get a little detection too…looks like a good place to rest and lose some coins?

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks and happy mothers days Dyane. Glad you enjoyed!!

[@maureenhovey4305]

A wee squirtey squirtey! Great find that cut quarter! And silver! Blessings on you. Take care.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Maureen. Another inch deeper and no-way I’d have found that quarter that’s for sure!!

Minneapolis in the house!

[@ifindit]

Little Falls is here too!

[@wolfdog7265]

It’s a rich field. Eddy Long legs is represented…. Not to shabby. If there’s so many silver there must also be the odd gold one. 🤞🤞 And it’s a nice field to lay down in for a while too John.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Haha 😂 I’m overdue a lie down that’s for sure!! A gold would be fantastic and you don’t know what’s to come in the other videos from This site …. No gold (yet!) but I can’t wait to get on them properly that’s for sure!!

[@andyc750]

Think you have discovered an old and long forgotten coin mine, only thing better would be finding a lost beer mine

[@tjs114]

Maybe speak with the property owners to see how long they've held the property? Considering the amount of coins you've pulled from those fields, I'm wondering if a community market or harvest fairs happened in those fields.

[@virginiasoskin9082]

Yep, a weekly produce or other type of market and harvest or amusement fairs.....something that caused people to lose their change while digging in their pockets and purses....and if near a church that would be adjacent to a gathering place of some type...the town green or whatever.....

[@SKN1763]

I look forward to your videos so much! Another great one. Happy to hear that there will be a Part 2.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Deborah and I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@nrivera4380]

[@johndaniel6168]

Anything other than Hammered silver, gold or artifacts goes in the ditch LoL

[@adztaylor2277]

Nice cut quarter, and a good selection of pre-decimals across 3 generations John. The object at 44:00 I think is a crushed road cats eye. Look forward to part 2. All the best and HH bud.

[@kirkyslifestuff4184]

Yip cats eye 👁

[@andreabygrave7622]

Def cat's eye. I found one up in the hills miles from any where. How did it get there?

[@maxdobb1517]

Another cracking video John, many thanks....the gun part is definitely a trigger/hammer mechanism off a childs cap gun....the toothed hammer gripped the paper cap roll to move it upwards to the next cap firing position.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Max. Much appreciated

[@regularjoe621]

Another great video Thank you 😎👍🙏❤️🇺🇸

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Much appreciated Joe. Glad you enjoyed!!

[@stever1053]

Definitely a toy gun hammer, made from cast alloy, areal one would have a firing pin for detonation, whereas yours has a flat hammer surface for caps.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Ahhh. As someone who’s never held a real gun that’s why I didn’t realise 😂

[@jeffsmith6303]

​@@thescottishdetectorist, well John, if you'd like to come over to the States, I've got some good woods and fields to detect, then I'll let you shoot some real guns. We'd love to have you!

[@fasteddy917]

I think you will find the bit with the pin sticking out is an automotive lamp base. The white on the end is lead solder that made contact with the wires.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

You are spot on I think! Many thanks

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

2 holes, 2 minutes, 2 coins, reminds me of a story my grandad had on a trip to Amsterdam.😂😂😂

Cap gun hammer. As for plug or hinge,plug is fine on pasture but hinge if on a lawn. Thanks for the video,most enjoyable.

[@oswyrkarwas]

As usual full of knowledge and excitement 💪👑🇵🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@alphabetsoup7918]

The Florin or Two Shillings was valued at 10 pence when coins were decimalized. It remained in circulation until the new smaller 10 pence piece was stuck when it was demonetorised

[@hanzelman1963]

Very good session mate and some nice coins, i love to watch your videos and the lesson about the kings and queens, you know a lot of that, 👍👍👍

[@delsmith7725]

Many a coin for big John. I watched this already but I'm a wee bit behind in my comments. Struggle for a minute sometimes. Just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts. You put so much passion into the channel and you're a joy to watch. A most likeable fellow. It's no wonder the channel's thrived as it has. Well done mate 🙂

[@waynearmstrong5233]

The silvers definitely stand out from the crowd dont they, even if one is a quarter of a coin, You only need to hinge your plug if the grass is a running grass like couch or buffalo, the hinge allows live runners to remain in tact and most of the grass to survive,. The grass you are on seems to be individually rooted, so theres no problem removing the plug completely, Cheers John!

[@tommyjenks5293]

I believe the thimble looking thing is a light bulb John. I've come across them a few times 😒😅 nice finds tho mate 👍

[@mattj6676]

I'm going to give you a suggestion, seems like you forget things pretty regularly...batteries, tools, water bottle, heaphones...maybe create a tote or some sort of box you can put all your detecting things in and supplies you might need and just grab it when you go, that way you always have everything with you! I really enjoy your channel, keep up the great work!

[@garysmith1178]

Great video John. Looking forward to part II. The small copper item towards the end which you first thought was a thimble looks like the copper part of a bulb... such as a torch bulb 💡

Love the location, i lived up there a while, Morayshire, Dufftown. Before that on Mull. Wish Id had a chance to try out detecting whilst i was there as we lived in a very ancient castle estate. Im sure the Laird would have given me permission as I was their gardener and my house was part of the job

[@paulinesalinas9443]

😂😂 Have you even told your wife where that field is? What on earth went on with people loosing their coins over centuries in that field?! It’s unbelievable how many you’ve found and the silver too. 🤩

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Excellent show as usual! I like the authenticity of the sound just fine (as long as the wind remains absent). That new tool is striking! When I first saw it I thought "that is one gigantic pair of scissors". If I were a coin and saw that I would fairy leap from the soil! Thank you. 😃🏴‍☠

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Haha 😂 many thanks and glad you enjoy 🏴‍☠️

[@philipwells5108]

Just a sugestion John , many people out here take a square of cloth or something and put the clod on it before they break it up , makes it easier to see when something falls out and also easier to transfer the rubbish back into the whole

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for the suggestion Philip. I’ll look into that!! Many thanks

47:46 My blinkin cell shut off your channel and it took me 10 min to find it! Had to watch the florin find!

[@theRhinsRanger]

Another wonderful dig, well done fella. R.E the flap on your hole 😅🙈 3 sides helps to stop the clod floating up in wet fields, it helps to stop animals pulling them out so easy, 3 cuts is less than 4, keeps all the networks of mycelium and roots connected and better chance of survival, you can make a much neater hole, expecially if you are on a short type lawn. But truth be told ive no idea these were just some of the conclusions i came to and could be completely wrong lol. You have such good land where you are, most of my older coins are toast

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks for the great info! Much appreciated and yes I’m blessed with great lands and thankfully most of the coins come out pretty good!

[@theRhinsRanger]

@The Scottish Detectorist aye fella, your blessed. I thoroughly enjoy watching your video's, but some days im that scunnert wi detecting rubbish i can only go a couple of hours (my back) so when i come in and see you with 20 silver coins in your first 3 holes i say "right switch this lucky sod off, 2 painkillers and asleep" then when im feeling better i go back and watch the rest 😆😂😆🙈

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

I’ve been out of detecting for about 10 years now but watching you reminds me of the great times and fantastic finds over the previous 40 years. My last machine was the XP Dues. Happy days. Hinging the plug makes no difference at all. The grass won’t recover any better if it’s hinged or not. The cut 1/4 looks like a voided long cross of Henry III

[@derekwilkinson7939]

what great finds John, good video

[@mikepetrucha2774]

Even a quarter of a hammered coin should count as a full coin! The design on the back of the florin looked really nice.

[@mickeymelton66]

Sound quite preferable without headphones; at least for me. I like the nice loud & clear sound.

[@andyboyko2766]

If you cut a large plug similar to what you do then the hinge is not an issue as long as the soil is not dry as in mid summer. I usually leave a generous hinge with a large plug as I always have. I often see other detectorists plugs dried out as near dean spots of grass, I however still run my coil over them.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Andy. Generally in summer dryness or a drought isn’t an issue in Scotland 😂 🌧 but I try as best I can! Thanks
