What your doing right is your whole demeanor. The way you talk and inform and edit your videos. I really enjoy having you in the back ground and running over when you got something.... wish I could be where you are. Just to be there😊

I watch for the finds, but subscribed for the history lessons. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.

i love when you let us know the value of a coin by the amount of beer it would buy when it was in circulation. cheers

[@curryattack8985]

25:40 is a can opener from British Forces Ration Pack. That’s why you find them all over the place. A serviceman used that to break into a tin of something like corned beef! The old tinned rat packs are a distant memory now but we all had our favourites and our dislikes!

[@claudepotter7763]

Some realy nice finds as allways

[@thescottishdetectorist]

It absolutely cracks me up when you say 16:30 "Well, it's a thing." Not sure why I find it so funny but it sure tickles my funny bone! Thanks for that. Everyone needs a laugh! 😁🤣🤪😜

[@redpill5471]

LoL maybe your dog Jurri got a hold of your missing items. Fantastic finds. The view is breath taking. Saw one of those voided cross coins on Time Team. Pretty awesome. They dated it specifically at 1247 😊 well done. I'm excited to here about the ring. Don't forget 😅 By the way I love the longer vids tyty.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks! Much appreciated

[@redpill5471]

@@thescottishdetectorist forgot to give you my 2 cents worth on that little hinge thingy. Maybe a clasp off of a book when books had clasps and locks.

[@krysk11]

The copper "Zipper" instantly remindet me of a small minimalistic medieval book clasp but maybe its just me. Fantastic video! Love to watch them after school to calm down.

[@GalvestonCountyMike]

John, the pendant looking item is likely a hinged cap for an oil cup, where with some of the older farm machinery, or motor cars (military possibly) had remote oiling cups that slowly fed and lubricated mechanical linkages. These oil cups had to be filled on occasion, and the hinged cover kept debris and water out and oil in the cup. Cheers from Texas!

[@dixietenbroeck8717]

I _KNEW_ I'd seen one of those someplace! (I grew up on a farm, eons ago.) Thanks for identifying it; I'm sure John will appreciate your ID, too! 🤗

[@GalvestonCountyMike]

@@dixietenbroeck8717 I had seen those cups on very old U.S. Navy ships and Coast Guard Cutters, museum items and such. Even what used to be in Light Houses around the United States, motor and control arms for items, all needing a continuous slow feed of oil. I still see oil cups on old tractors in my neighborhood these days, collectors items and show pieces.

[@andreawashnak630]

Congratulations on the 25. We all like the history you give on the pieces you find.

Amen 🙏 thanks pirate 🏴‍☠️ always good to know where you came from! Many thanks

[@Jennifer.A1]

First thing I thought when I saw the ring was Scotland’s flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Gold 🌟 for you for bringing all your detecting equipment 😂 and let’s not forget that view ❤❤

[@lindaquinn7858]

That little bit of metal at 15:44 looks like what the US military used to call a P51 key. It’s a can opener that they carried with them. I just love your videos. And especially your stories. Wonderful history lessons. Edited due to missing number

[@Afro408]

Great finds again John. They just keep coming. 😊👏👏 I don't understand why some people, who watch these videos, would think that using a soft brush on the finds would be detrimental to the finish, or value. Your Bendy Thumb is removing far more finish than that brush ever could, because your thumb print is impregnated with superfine abrasive and that's why it polishes the surface so well. "More brushing and less rubbing" is what they should be shouting at their screens! 🤣

[@mysongs740]

Very good video today! I always enjoy your videos! I know you will hit 50k by December!

[@davidmillar202]

Brilliant video yet again. Compelling viewing because of your thorough descriptions of your finds and the history associated with them. A great selection of finds today and if the condition of the Charles sixpence is replicated in future finds then we are in for a treat.

[@elymcdonald7141]

You blow my mind with these incredible coins!! I found a few Indian head Penny's at work a few years ago and I was blown away that they were just over 100 years old and here you are calmly giving us a history lesson on the 400yr old coin your holding that you just dug up. Fantastic sir, quality content and a huge thumbs up from a MacDonald here in the states.

[@itsallfabrication]

Lov'in the vids John, always look forward to them. BTW, Roxburgh Castle was a Scottish castle, James II blew himself up while attempting to evict the English from it.

[@oldtop4682]

You made me go look at XP detectors lol. I have an older Minelab Explorer, and have been thinking about getting back into detecting. I may just give the DEUS a try. It's been about 7 years since I dug dirt, buy your channel is encouraging me to get back out there. Love your channel, and this area is a fantastic find for you! BTW - I love that you tie your finds to history. I'm American and only roughly know who ruled when over that way. Thank you!
