[@mattj6676]

That first hook you found is a cleat that is commonly used on anything using ropes, such as boats, flagpoles, maybe a wagon or other implements. You wind the rope around it and tie it down. I love this one, lots of interesting things you found!

[@oldtop4682]

Exactly what I was thinking. Glad I read your comment before posting the same thing. I've used these a lot in my life.

[@lirazel6414]

Yes, definitely a cleat.

[@48thstateprospecting]

Yup a cleat now if it’s bronze it could be Roman…..???

[@danphillips3589]

With the coins from around the world suggesting a possible military association I wonder if there may not have been a (temporary) military camp there for mustering out after the war. The cleat could be from flagpole, the “medallion” a possible military medal/decoration?

[@randrussell313]

What you called a hook at about 7:00 is like the fitting on a flagpole or boat to attach the rope line to.

[@phailynrowan7976]

These hooks were used in old houses to tie the heavy curtains back in order to let in the light as well.

[@michaelpthompson]

I thought so as well. A cleat to tie something off.

[@marknichols7861]

The item at 7:10 is a “cleat”. Similar to what you’d find on a small boat for lashing rope to.

[@unclerojelio6320]

Looks like it might have been used to anchor the lift cords for blinds in a window.

[@permiebird937]

When that little jar popped out of the ground I said, "Is that lid silver?!" Stunning find.

[@user-mt9cz6qw9q]

John, thanks a lot for your videos! It's been a real pleasure for me personally and my family as well to watch your movies as if it were true documentaries, although having an alure of autencity and your perfectly drafted stories of every item you find! Very comforting delivery in terms of your language! Best wishes from Ukraine!

[@susanbdusan2785]

Please stay safe, everyone.

[@greenspiritarts]

The “candleholder” at the beginning look EXACTLY like the bellows nozzle on my grannies fireside kit that now hangs by my wood stove. Same size, hollow at both ends, conical bore to concentrate the power of the bellows. The entire bellows are small, approx 14 inches in length including the nozzle. The silver lidded jar looks like an early lip balm jar that could have been in a ladies saddlebag or purse and fallen out. The lead crown looks like a game piece.

[@Rockin_in_Kentucky]

Awesome finds, can't wait for the next video!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks 😊 just posted as luck would have it!!

[@Jennifer.A1]

Love your silver jar! Can’t believe it found its self in the middle of a field! Congrats on completing the trifecta 😂😂 Every-time you find a door knob I think of the old American TV show Bewitched where an eccentric character “collects”/steals door knobs.

[@JW-kh9bm]

Aunt Clara.

[@MykeWinters]

Yeah it’s a beautiful little thing. I love it and it would catch my eye if it was in a shop

[@synw3llth0rn32]

Here in the US it was "Sanford & Son" lol. The small jar reminds me of an old lip balm jar I saw in a museum in Appalachia. It was also cut glass with no threads and with an ornate silver, friction fitted lid. Yours is plain, but otherwise very close.

[@nickharmer3049]

A wee dram or 2 for Xmas. Thanks for all your efforts.! Bless 👊

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

But…what’s the current beer equivalent? 😆

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks so much!!!! Cheers 🍻

[@christinecampbell7404]

Love the silver lidded jar!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Me too. Beautiful isn’t it

[@user-cw9qn1nb2n]

The large "silver" medallion is almost certainly Victorian. The bow, with olive branches going up on either side , is an exact copy of what one finds on the reverse of a Victoria Young-Head Shield-Back Sovereign. On those coins the shield, or coat-of-arms, fills the centre between the branches. Hope this helps with identification. Your finds never cease to amaze me.

[@cincyjohn69]

Another amazing video ! Can’t wait for the next one !

[@happymack6605]

That little container is the gem find of the day! Well done!🎉

[@RussTNails-fw9ds]

Another great day out with you.thanks

[@maureenhovey4305]

Hallmarks! ❤ Love the little jar. Trifecta, what a sence of humor! You're a good one John. Take care.😊

[@terryt.1643]

Another great video to accompany my breakfast coffee and toast. Cheers, John.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Excellent Terry. Bon Apetit!

[@martinjervis1558]

Your little jar is a cracking find John 🤩

[@theyachty]

The hook/ hanger thing was the same as my granny had for her 'pulley' for drying clothes. That's identical.

[@ChrisN1973]

The perfect start to a Sunday! Cheers, John!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Enjoy!!

[@turboz6477]

Do you detect near a site that used to be a prisoner of war camp / military base? It would explain all the foreign coins and the door knobs and cutlery. I believe there used to be one in Perthshire.​@@thescottishdetectorist

[@davidlewis9068]

Roman musket balls are very rare. In fact, if Rome had muskets, they might still be ruling.

[@siobhanbouzane8937]

John, the cap badge you found is most likely a 1st Royal Newfoundland Regiment cap badge with the Caribou antlers missing.

[@matthewgrice6902]

Thanks for the video. I agree that all of your foreign coins were probably brought there by soldiers. They could have been mailed home to someone. My father and some of his classmates would search the garbage bins for things they could sell. During WW2. They discovered this woman who would throw letters in the trash from an old boyfriend. He was serving overseas and didn't know she had a new boyfriend. He kept sending letters and she kept throwing them away.

[@sniddley]

I believe the “candle stick” and item’s like the wall hangers are from the thousands of carriages, carts and such that have passed by. Your opening description of that fields history was excellent and I can picture in my minds eye the many forts, farms, cottages and other dwellings constructed, occupied and now long gone over the thousand years of history in front of you. We Americans have such a brief history. Scotland’s history is truly amazing . Kevin

[@junco477]

A great day, indeed.

[@chainsawveitch3230]

At 23:44 Newfoundland cap badge from the Newfoundland Regiment during WW1. During that war the Regiment earned the Royal designation for the sacrifice made. Check out the battle of Beaumont Hamel and the Blue Puttees. That is a caribou on there.

[@krysk11]

In my opinion the little vessel is a fantastic find! I love how well it is made but I can not Imagine why somebody would throw it away or you would lose it. It also kind of looks like it could be crystal glass.

[@lindaquinn7858]

Yay! Thanks John for an amazing video to enjoy on this ugly rainy windy day here in South Carolina!

[@Fred-tr8zg]

Well as usual nicely done, nice finds, I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

[@richardscott2040]

another fantastic day for you John and another fantastic viewing for us.

[@harryzero1566]

That hook was one of those fixtures that you wrap a chord around in a figure of eight.

[@peggybaxter8480]

Thank You John! Good Job!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks for another wonderful video John, I am happy you got your trifecta!

[@dgb56bgd]

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in the beautiful hills of northeast Tennessee. Thanks so much for continuing to share these brilliant days of treasure hunting with us. Beautiful silvers from around the world. Awesome.

[@Pureblood10000]

The little glass jar I’d guess would be for some sort of make-up I’d date it to late 1920’s👍

[@marionchase-kleeves8311]

Lovely day in the rain. The 'hook' object looks exactly like the one used to secure the ropes of a flag to the pole. Similar to nautical tue downs...

[@rhettoracle9679]

Congrats on the Trifecta! It's a shame so many coins slowed you down over the years from achieving. Cheers from New Orleans

[@kevinjohnston1988]

Your right on the money it is indeed a candle stick holder nice find, loving the videos 👀👍

[@dharmaqueen]

Silver rouge pot, or dressing table pot. Very cute. Should be able to find the maker from the hallmarks. I want!

[@toddj9794]

That silver and glass vessel is nice👍

[@alanlucas2886]

thanks john for another geart video and nice finds

[@marilyngianadda1661]

A silver patch box- for the moles they stuck onto their cheeks!

[@HLBear]

Victorian pierced coins were added to bracelets or watch chains as souvenirs. The glass jar would be part of a set, usually for women when they traveled. Rouge, maybe. The lion passant (London or an English Assay office) and style of B appear to be 1877. The other two would probably be a leopard head and figure-head, but the placement warped the images. If I'm incorrect, someone let me know what they see, please.

[@glendamears3618]

Beautiful little container 😊

[@thegoodearth7]

I love how you declare an unidentified artifact, "It's a thing!" Recently subscribed and I have been binge-watching your channel (mashing that thumbs up button of course)! Being in the States, there used to be a Civil War-era road at the top of our property. I have found mini-ball Civil War bullets (3 ringers), military buttons, 1877 Indian Head Penny--all stuff I thought was "old" by U.S. standards. Then I see your finds and realize what the meaning of the word "old" really means!

[@inSearchofVikings]

Another perfectly presented video ...good job John 👌👍

[@johndaniel6168]

Relics are important and I'm not disagreeing with you but a hammie every ten minutes, especially short cross and Norman are special ;-)

[@williammclay1406]

The hook thing is a Tie off holder from a kitchen, you pull down on the string and figure 8 it round the holder for the clothes pulley that hangs fromm the cieling.

[@relicrat]

Awesome finds. The little jar with the silver top is beautiful. Great hunt and thanks for sharing!!!

[@diverdannavyvet9672]

That thing that looked like something for hanging a coat on is some kind of 'cleat' for tying off to. Maybe for tying off the string for window blinds?

[@terricollins8450]

So many interesting finds another great video,thanks John 😁

[@davidlewis9068]

As always, an awesome video

[@pattiefitzpatrick2075]

Great little glass jar, John! I think it's probably part of a dresser set and may be a pill bottle? Love your videos!

[@chrisernest3222]

Happy Holidays Jon and Family...

[@Tseringlhatso]

A little pill box? lovely wee thing.

[@susanlampshire639]

I loved the silver cosmetic or similar jar with silver lid! Lucky you!!

[@calvinottewell-lh4hj]

Another great video john 👍

[@womanatthewheel]

Really interesting finds this time, particularly the silvers, what a variety! Plus, the build up to, and showing your trifecta gave me a good laugh. Nicely done! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@billadams9986]

The hook looks like a small version of a rope cleat for tying up a boat.

[@Damian19.10]

12:30 well done 💥👏👏👏

[@BFConsultingMatHndlg]

The cap badge at 24:17 could be Newfoundland, which are quite desirable when complete

[@chainsawveitch3230]

It certainly is. How do I know? My Great Grandfather served in that unit during the great war. I served in that unit in the 90's

[@longkeithdiablo8812]

This time last year you were hoping to get to 9k subscribers. You've smashed it like we all knew you would. Well done mate 👍

[@Andywymer]

The wee silver top jar used to be used to keep a lock of hair or first tooth

[@tanjamorris5647]

Your trifecta made me laugh. 😂 That jar is gorgeous. What a field, a smorgasbord. Oh, and what the heck do you feed your dog for dinner? 🤣🤣🤣 Guessing it’s an expression for something not too great.

[@randrussell313]

Maybe the little jar was to carry salt for a picnic

[@davewilson9738]

Gladstone bags often had similar small glass containers for men as well John, great find!

[@donaldrutter1738]

Hello from Ohio that was an amazing bunch of finds the Detecting Gods walked with you today. Thanks for sharing loved the bottle and the annas coin looked that one up if not for the hole could be worth a fair amount of cash.

[@sniddley]

Oh yea, your comment “ This would have bought us a fourteenth of a pint of beer……..Darn! Too funny 😆

[@sharonmalone8312]

Good job John!

[@ricois3]

That little jar is so cool!

[@chrisernest3222]

Wat a great day of finds Jon love the pendant and the jar/bottle and the India coin....🍻🍻🍻

[@juettie]

Das hat wieder so viel Spaß gemacht dabei zu sein, ich habe gelacht, zugehört und gestaunt, danke fürs Mitnehmen...bis zum nächsten mal😄😅

[@wolfdog7265]

9:00 The Tsar, the Keizer, and the King could have formed an early version of ZZ Top. Make music, not war. 🥳 Give it all your loving and all your hugs and kisses too. 😁

[@jillianfortuna2348]

👍👍

[@ceecal]

After dropping an item your luck improved. Nice finds.

[@rosepeacock2234]

The wee jar reminds me of a beauty spot jar..

[@tonilauge5786]

🥈only Silver because of the missing Give away! Incredible field a intact little Glass jar with a silver top! Numerous Ploughings survirver! A pity with that 2 Silver Annas, worth destroyed with Hole in it. 1880 edition should be very Rare. Embarrassing I have remembered Wrong! Subscribed since Aug 21 Cleggy Shoutout! Makes me for once an Early Bird🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄Seen them all! Always a Treat, don' t think it finish With romans in this field. Got surpriced With your starsign🐟🐏 I would have Bet on😜🔝❤️

[@paulinesalinas9443]

Oh yes! In addition … Congrats on the Trifector !! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@williamhiller3988]

That's a cleat. Usually seen on the rail of a boat. You wrap a line from the dock around the cleat to secure your boat to the dock.

[@harryzero1566]

And I thought a cleat was was a sensitive part of female anatomy 😅

[@marksoler7338]

Thanks for removing all those toxic metals from the food growing feilds!

[@emilygarwood1373]

Can’t believe that little jar survived so long.

[@thelmakessel5509]

Hi John! I know I do but I am sure everyone else appreciates the time this must take, filming, editing, deciding what to include. Living vicariously through you, until you rent out time slots for us to help while we are visiting Scotland ( narf). Thank you so much. Do I detect a better video quality? Or is it just my eyes? And darn you, my drinking game for ‘oops I dropped it’ is going no where. We can’t get Clansman whisky here in Ontario…Balvenie will have to do😏. Thanks so much

[@EmilyBltz]

That lead crown is exciting - hoping we find out how old it is!

[@bryanb1259]

Another awesome video John 👍👍

[@lisagriffin572]

It looks like a finale.

[@colinmacdonald404]

Thanks 👍

[@robinwarden8594]

15 of March my son Archie’s birthday and the start of the trout fishing season :-)

[@bdewar6837]

Some very nice finds, I really liked that cute litle pot! Maybe that flat pendant had a cabochon on one side? Just an idea.

[@markparr7224]

7:10 that is a cleat, very similar to the ones used on boats to tie them off but that one is used in a house, or barn for tying off curtains. I have a couple in my trailer for tying roll up black out curtains. Almost exactly that size. That could come in handy.

[@hadrianjohnstone6578]

That looks like a military medal the hoop would have attached to a ribbon as you seem to have found other military cap badges and other stuff 👍

[@diverdannavyvet9672]

John, you've mentioned being in close proximity to a river from time to time. Have you ever given magnet fishing a go?

[@dirtyoffroader2093]

I've found an Indian silver Anna with hole in it.. along with a 1913 Australian silver coin (again with holes) side by side on field here in the UK.. 1st WW cavalry soldiers apparently camped there back in the day.. So your theory is probably spot on. 👍

[@virginiahardy9213]

Hi John! I think you little ink well is crystal glass!

[@user-sm5tz9sv3g]

Could the “medallion” you found be a coin with a Circle of silver ending in a pinched top with a smaller circle to hang on a necklace? I have several modern coins set up in this way to be pendants.

[@donroussy5472]

The silver "medallion" looks like an older war medal. obviously the metal bar and cloth are gone, but these parts could often fall off; usually recovered, but this looks like it fell off at night maybe and was never recovered.

[@stevefranklin9176]

Yes Don, I was looking at it feeling strongly it rang a bell. Service Medal I think you’ve hit the nail on the head there.

[@jamesprentice5503]

Amazing jar and unbroken and silver lid with hallmarks to trace,as usual another great adventure and real treasure of discovery,love your trifecta!

[@johndaniel6168]

Bro, come to Suffolk/Norfolk and you'll find a dozen hammies in an hour ;-)

[@centralpametaldetectorist289]

Back in the Victorian era I know they carried around “smell goods” in a small container because personal hygiene wasn’t on a great level. They are found here in the US sometimes. Maybe that’s what your small silver bottle is.

[@lorettabeckwith5052]

Could be some kind of a little cosmetic vessel…good going!😮

[@clarkjeschke3344]

John, could this have been a staging or training area for allied soldiers. Explains why Indian, Canadian and others would be found together.
