QUADRUPLE SILVER - ROMAN - And I’ve discovered a forgotten 300 year old love story - XP DEUS 2

[@PennyVickers]

Not a drawer pull, but it's part of Shire Horse Tac i think it is a rein feeder

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Aha! Amazing 🤩 thanks for the info!

[@mikepetrucha2774]

The 10 cents coin does say Canada on it. 10 cents is 1/10 of a dollar.

[@beth7467]

Laughed out loud at your "bloody washer" at 16:54!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Haha 😂 thanks Beth. Story of my life 😆

[@richardleighton5009]

The object with the circle at the top and threads on the other end might well be a reins guide from a buggy or wagon - a cool find !!!

[@SKN1763]

Yes, I think you are right about the Canadian silver 10-cents coin. I believe that was a maple leaf on the back of it.

[@calliecooke1817]

Awesome day metal detecting. Thanks.

[@marinoceccotti9155]

11:50 - 1870 - 1901 Victoria Ten Cent / Dime from Canada BTW, you should include a sequence at the end of your videos, showing the artifacts cleaned. The love token was incredible. Best regards.

[@LaurieLeeAnnie]

Yes, I agree!

[@LaurieLeeAnnie]

Could you do a segment at the end, showing everything cleaned up? The “thingy’s”, junk and relics always intrigue me so much! Beautiful coins and that love token is the best I’ve ever seen! What a great day!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

I’ll add it to the ‘to do’ list when I’ve got frozen ground. Thanks Laurie

[@GaliSinatra]

@@thescottishdetectorist Speaking of "to-do" lists, why not make a checklist by your front door for everything you need to take with you? Fantastic finds!

[@LaurieLeeAnnie]

@@thescottishdetectorist thank you! I’m always curious if some “thingy’s” turn up to be older than expected, and what they may have been for. Also, just a question, is it normal for people detecting to keep all the actual trash, like ring pulls, to bin them so they don’t get a signal in the future?

[@Chris17198]

I swear one day you are going to go metal detecting and you’ll forget to bring the Xp Deus 2 .. On the positive some great finds … never fail to entertain ..thanks John

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Chris I’ve gone detecting twice and forgotten my detector 🙄 careful what you wish for 😂

[@dougwhatup3811]

Item at min 4-40. Not certain but resembles an hinged silver top from a ink bottle as found on a clerk or a gentleman's desk and a quill dipped in to it

[@cdmikie]

Great day out for sure! Nice to see a Canadian coin.

[@marthagraves811]

Awesome finds there in the beautiful fields of Perthshire. 😊

[@Chris66JTM45]

A great days detecting John. You need get back out on that field on 30/11 and find the other half of St Andrew ... it would be perfect timing.

[@eastcoastheraldCA]

Aye John, the Canadians are watching from Nova Scotia (New Scotland)....great videos !!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Much appreciated and best wishes to New Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦

[@dgb56bgd]

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. Ah yes…another Blessed day of watching you find really cool finds…and hearing you berate yourself for your forgetfulness…lol. If this old man in northeast Tennessee did the same…I’d never get anything done, other than noting my forgetfulness. Great content, John, as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@DerekWalsh-l4i]

The variety of objects you find never ceases to amaze me. The dome-shaped item filled with lead could be a free-standing candle holder, missing its wax drip-tray.

[@patty4091]

Hi Ho Silver! Nice finds! Another enjoyable video.

[@ChristianThomas-wf5dl]

Fantastic !! I think SB was Sara Bernhardt..lol. she lost it working in the field, and her male friend, upon finding out she lost it, dumped her. That lead mold could have also been used to make a wax mold for use in casting in the "lost wax" method. Hope you find the other half!!

[@raydunhill5160]

My God John!!! You are on fire! You Sir are a walking history book!!! Some wonderful finds and another fantastic video!!! Congrats John! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@chriswalshe4615]

What a day! love the love token, so romantic ❤

[@ChrisN1973]

Oh wow! That 1708 love token is absolutely beautiful. What a cracking day of detecting, John!

[@terricollins8450]

That love token is so beautiful !! What a find ❤

[@thescottishdetectorist]

It’s brilliant isn’t it Terri. Was she upset to lose it or did Susan Boyle throw it away in the ultimate rejection I wonder 🤔

[@terricollins8450]

@@thescottishdetectorist who knows, I could make up a whole story and it would be a love story between Sarah and bruce 😄

[@jmitch5161]

What a day! As amazing as all the coins were, I think the love token was my favourite. So personal.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Amazing isn’t it! A sad loss or thrown away in disgust! That’s what leaves me thinking

[@jeffreyallen1314]

Had 4 vicky silvers and silver thimble out last weekend in mid wales . It's a great feeling.. Well done.👏👏👍

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Amazing! 😯 congratulations Jeffrey! Gold and silver always gets the heart pumping no matter the age!!

[@richardloveday3540]

The love token was a sensational find! Easy to imagine him/her engraving in anticipation.

[@Full_Metal_Digger]

Amazing finds yet again, John!! Your mystery silver item in the beginning is part of a windcap from a smoking pipe. You have the part that fits over the pipe bowl, and the little hinge is where the decorative lid is attached. These show up commonly on the continent but don't seem to have been popular in the UK or America. These are typically 1700s when I find them in Germany. Best wishes and happy digging!

[@jamesaitchison3750]

a good dig John cracking silvers and Roman cant get any better than that ,thanks again cheers

[@dominicpardo4783]

That love token is amazing!!!!

[@AndyGraceMedia]

Hey John, you were right - the Canadian dime IS a British coin which was minted in either London at Tower Mint or Heatons in Birmingham then shipped over to Canada. The date is below the word CENTS and it's really messed up due to the folds. You can see the remnants of it, a 18 then a misshapen 9 or an inverted 6 imprint? The Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa wasn't founded until 1908 so all QV coins were British and used a bun-head Victoria obverse.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Andy. Great info as ever! This field is producing some weird things that’s for sure!! Coins coming from all around the empire

[@peter990099]

think thats one of the nicest love tokens i have seen + a very rare coin with that george 1st shilling, what a great day

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Peter. I didn’t realise the George I shilling was quite rare until I got home

[@lovelyskull3483]

Thank you, cheers.

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Wow!! Amazing finds John. That love token is stunning!! Congrats on your BBC stint 😀

[@henryrummins973]

Silver is easy to determine heat one end with a lighter and instantly the heat travels to your fingers, silver is the most conductive of metals.

[@KernowekTim]

Perfectly worded.

[@eileencarroll6418]

Can't wait to see the LIGHT BOX. Especially the door hardware thing with the two animal heads and the ring that looks like a Celtic torc with two flat terminals. Very interested in seeing it cleaned up. Even though the threading technology means it is not terribly old. WELL DONE.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Eileen. Light box delayed because I had a call a few minutes later and had to drive to Glasgow to be on the BBC live 😮

[@tazzie2shoos]

That love token is adorable 😍😍

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Isn’t it just. Was it a heart breaking loss or did she throw it else away in disgust. I love finds like this that makes you wonder

[@maureenhovey4305]

Great finds John! ❤ Love the love token, amazing. Silvers and a Roman! The gods are smiling down on you. Looking forward to the next dig. Take care!

What a great dig that was John the silver appeared to be bouncing out of the ground and the engraved love token was outstanding, I really enjoyed it, what a great field to dig in your a very lucky man 👍

[@russellholt7529]

Hi John I think years ago they had some sort of pulley system and bells on a piece of farm equipment and a bell would ring to start or stop due to noise from a traction engine, maybe a load thrashing machine. The coins were probably to pay the farm hands. Awesome history mate. Also I think you may have a ring thimble

[@paulmichaelbooth5230]

Awesome stuff yet again, brilliant.

The first "furniture fitting" reminds me of a ceiling hook to hang plants. I don't know when they started, but were certainly available in the late Victorian.

Interesting you have had a couple of Canadian coins latley , silvers were 92.5 %right up to 1920 then 80 % till 1968. I love finding the silver 5 cent pieces , so tiny they are known as fish scales 😉🇨🇦

Canadian here - I remember my dad had a tiny silver dime just like that in his collection, in fact I wondered if that’s what it was as soon as you exposed it.

[@Sparky6string]

Great vid. Hope to see more about that last one in the next vid. God bless

[@fishfear4030]

I feel your pain on forgetting a basic thing on an adventure. I live in the far northern United States so a bit shy of half the year is spent on a snow machine and in an ice fishing shelter. More than once I have jumped on the snow machine, run out onto the lake, set up my shelter, got the heater going, drilled my holes, sat down to fish and discover S$&t I forgot my bait. You are not alone. :)

[@oculusangelicus8978]

That possible silver ring with a hinge on it looks to be either a pendant watch case, which were the Ladies' equivalent to a pocket watch, or like you said, it might be a pill pot or something like it.

[@phillipyannone3195]

Maybe you should attach your pouch to your detector or have a check list, water bottle full, battery’s charged etc.. What a day you had, amazing finds. Can’t wait to see the results in the light box. I think that new app worked very well. 😊

[@hippyhay1659]

Ahh..... Saturday morning with The Scottish Detectorist! You Beauty!! As soon as I saw "CENTS", I knew it was Canadian. Possibly a token of affection worn by a Canadian soldier during WW1.
