The find at 14.00 is a lens from an old set of binoculars.

[@laurelmoon2]

I agree. Sometimhing the size of opera glasses.

[@dbaca148]

just saw this after I typed same thing haha. maybe.

[@HanstheTraffer]

Your history lessons are perhaps the best part of the channel. THANKS JOHN

[@GlurfMundoo-lv3pf]

Given you're always forgetting something, either at home or in the car, why don't you get a knapsack, and just keep all your stuff in it? You can take it out for charging or cleaning or whatever, but when you're done, just put it back in the bag. You'll never be missing anything ever again!

[@jackienatale5205]

That makes too much sense and just too easy lol 😂

[@tonilauge5786]

Much more effective to forget the whole in one step! John had Mark his Detection making Is Wonder why 😱

Many thanks Jackie. Thanks for supporting the channel

Great finds for the day. I always enjoy your digs.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks! New video just posted!!

[@MadDog0621]

Morning! Hello from the US! Sounds like getting the guys together is like herding cats in a rainstorm! Good luck with that!!

[@rioarriba7454]

Hi John!!! I just starting to watch your video, but i will say is great one, becose alwais it is!!! Saludos desde Patagonia Argentina

[@Wildmansart]

Just watching PGA from Scotland now while watching this hunt. Well done! From Long Island, NY… GREETINGS!!!!

[@sofia_ines]

Hey there! Great one again...well, they're all great! Sending you greetings, and a bit of sunshine 🌞🌡from the Algarve here in Portugal♡!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Sofia! Much appreciated

[@SThomson-cr1zr]

You are very informative. I've learned so much about British (in particular) history.

[@StephanieHart-tq8vj]

John, this field has been just fantastic. Cheers and keep it going!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

It gets better Stephanie! New video just posted!

[@vickieoquin7498]

The brooch looks like a guitar

[@robinsmith5442]

I forget the name but you can see the tuning keys if the light is right.

[@McIntosh_Coin_Collecting]

So much nice finds John, and double silver. that’s 3 in a row now of silver 🎉

[@kimberlymolitor354]

Love seeing you brave the rain for us!! ❤❤❤

[@user-vn6is7dx6v]

Happy Sunday from Canada. Love the old six pence. Was very pretty❤

[@paulinesalinas9443]

Silver again John, just don’t know how you do it 🤩 Some good finds as always and your commentary makes it fun to watch. Keep on in that field as I’m sure there’s more to come, and hopefully your elusive mates can make it out with you soon 👍

[@Gloria-qy3dd]

Hi John, nice coins, nice to see you.

[@garyhuls3997]

Great hunt, from the USA also. I would love to go on a hunt with you. What you find in the fields is so interesting and incredible. Love the history behind the objects.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks Gary. Well if you ever make it over this way let me know! It’s not all milk and honey I can assure you. I have my fair share of awful days 😛

[@garyhuls3997]

I have many hunts with only items coming out of the ground that are no older than 1950 . I will get ahold of you, just to say I got the chance to hunt with someone who is famous in the detecting wild.👍

[@tanithmessenger3581]

More great finds! Do love the edit notes 🤣 lol.

[@junco477]

I would suggest a checklist that you keep in the car. The older I get, the more lists I need.

[@tterbay]

Ditto. 😂

[@SKYEPUSS0WNER]

My opinion on brooch reminds me of the clasp ladies used to decorate each side of dress around the neck line , era 1940s, there would be two of them one each side.

[@sniddley]

Excellent finds and history lesson, thanks John.

[@TheWinstonDouble]

I never found a coin over 100 years old. Not without buying it. I found a wheat cent dated 1916 but that was in 2013, so off by 3 years. Again this year I found a 1927 so again the record is only 97 years old. I can't believe not every land owner in the UK has a metal detctor. I'd have gone over my fields 3 times knowing the treasures that can be found. Always fun seeing hat you find

[@CrosbyCollects]

Great video John, cannot believe how much silver has come up on this field for you! Well done - Jake

[@eileencarroll6418]

Well done. Looks like the soil was a little easier to dig today. Nice haul.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Eileen. Yes, ground conditions are much better, some rain might help with the deeper signals but as it’s Scotland I’m sure it’s not far away!!

[@marcharkins2882]

Great video and digs 😊

[@TheShootinStar]

OMG...You've got a Tennessee tri star cap on!!!

[@SgurrDetectorist]

You can always give me a call John, as long as I'm not touring 😁😁👍🏻 great wee silver there, I've had a few of those in the past 😁👍🏻 the weather on Skye was actually really lovely today for a change and I'm over again tomorrow and the weather looks good again which will be nice 👍🏻 see you on the road again soon. Ryan.

[@sammiross2817]

Hey john... Excited for this one 😊

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Hope you enjoy it! This field just keeps on giving!

[@grigorisgirl]

Lovely silver sixpence.

[@tedcallaway9432]

Great job John! Enjoyed watching your video.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Ted

[@48thstateprospecting]

10:20 everyone thinks it’s a guitar but with the raised section in the middle and the short neck it has to be a violin or fiddle…. Back to the vid… 14:37 it’s either a piece to a telescoping spyglass (the piece closest to the eye as it’s so small) or a piece from a transit but I’m leaning toward spyglass back to the vid.. 17:47 looks like an old petcock to be sure you’d have to really clean the smallest and and see if something broke off of it if it looks like it did it’s a petcock and that’s where the spring and nut used to be if not I’ve no clue lolol back to the vid…well another great hunt double silver a brooch/pin and lots of other cool stuff thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for the info!

[@Whadaa72]

I once loaded up drove half hour got out went to set up and noticed the mid shaft was on the other coil. That was the walk of shame back home

[@thescottishdetectorist]

I’ve gone detecting before and forgot my detector! But took everything else 🤪

[@vickieoquin7498]

Another great day ❤

[@matthewgrice6902]

Thanks for the video. Nice bits of silver.

[@user-rm9zt7pg7h]

looks like a guitar brooch and the glass lens could possibly be from a pair of binoculars ,great job.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great video John, sorry you are finding the silver coins all by yourself, I am sure it is more fun to share your finds as they come up with someone.

[@bryanb1259]

Missed watching. Hope you are well John.

[@smokerwizard]

The jeweled piece looks lika guitar

[@thescottishdetectorist]

It does doesn’t it!

[@TerrellHaygood]

Another great hunt, from Texas

[@conniesbookshelf]

10:43 i'm almost certain what you have there is a vintage dress clip! they came in pairs that you could connect together (and wear as a larger clip) or wear as two individual pieces - and you've found one half of one! they were popular from around the 1920s-1950s! 😊

[@fitfurnuffn]

On it john cheers buddy 😀💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jimdocherty3454]

I would love to join you on a dig John. I am a railway worker, got two machines plus the gubbins. Glaswegian living in Manchester, walk 20,00 steps a day at work.no clubs near me, would be great to get my first finds in Scotland. I drive and also have subsidised train travel, so getting up home is not a problem..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍺👍.. you seem to be needing some company!

[@jillianfortuna2348]

👍👍

[@jansim7510]

The little buckle is just like the ones on my school sandals in the 1940s.

[@russgaulke1364]

I believe the broach is supposed to look like a belt and buckle.

[@brucecurtis6281]

In my childhood, it was a thruppence, or thrippence. Three pence is newspeak. Then again, that was the 20sided brassy one

[@HughDuszaPastor]

14:17 looks like 1st lens of telescope or binoculars

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Hugh, apparently it’s a fob for a pocket watch

[@lyndafjellman3315]

That first buckle is sort of an all purpose buckle. I have ones smaller than that on my horse's bridle, but it could be just as easily a purse strap or belt or whatever. The shape might help date it, but it is fairly generic. Nicely preserved though.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated, it’s a lovely wee buckle!

[@davidstrother496]

Wow, John, you are on a roll. I hope you let us know what the little brooch is depicting. The silvers were very nice. Cheers from Texas once again.

[@albansarbach8977]

For the round glassy thing . Maybe a pices for a sight binocular

[@dgb56bgd]

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Great finds! I think that “bedazzled” piece looks like a saddle stirrup from a child’s toy, cast bronze means it’s really old…or not. Thanks…and keep sharing your adventures with us. Blessings John.

[@HLBear]

The broodh thing looks like a shoe buckle or hat piece for holding feathers.

[@richardlove4287]

I’m looking to move back to Scotland from Australia later this year, I’ll be buying another metal detector so maybe I’ll give you a shout to go out. Thanks for the video, cheers.

[@ginnyhardy-uf6th]

The glass you found with the metal band I thought might be magnifying but I noticed looking at your fingers through it it didn't magnify

[@aquillamcm9220]

The glass you found with the metal band I thought might be part of a mourning charm or fob

[@maureenhovey4305]

Well done John! 😊

[@DanielBrown-rb7bx]

I am coming to Europe at the first of August and bring the metal detector! If you want some to detect with , I am the man!😂. Hey, tour guide for metal detecting! I would love to take you up on that deal!

[@carriebright9574]

Love your cap!

[@Punchdrunkpen]

Brooch looks like a buckle to me

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Aha! Thanks for the suggestion

[@jimbob-tz4zb]

Phenomenal

[@neddoucet7779]

Love yr channel. Could the lead find possibly be a rolled Roman curse?

[@johnandkayninmon]

The mystery object might be a lens. From a looking glass, maybe?

[@allanraynor4844]

Hi John, wonderful finds, what did your water bottle start its life as please??

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Hi Allan. It’s Suntan 🧴 lotion! Nivea I do believe and it makes the coins smell lovely 🤣

[@ShaePreston]

Wow already great finds only just started watching it 😂😂😂

[@cocojo242]

Shame about the weather but some good finds 👍

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks coco! A good day out that’s for sure

[@user-yr9vc3wc5c]

On the silver again John, well done. Was out today next to Culloden battlefield and managed a couple musket balls, button, toasted pendant, and a Vicky half penny. Musket balls, button and pendant will go to TT and I’ll wait 3yrs I’m sure. 🤣

[@coryengel]

I want to hear him say “Quarter Hoarder Warter” in that accent.

[@alanlucas2886]

yay hi john

[@ouzalghost8411]

You may be finding coins from more recent times than you would like but this certainly is a lively and productive field John are you going to stick with it for a while, I would.

[@mlhundt2064]

The find at 18:00 looks like the stopper of a perfume bottle.

[@nomiseldnurt7064]

The glass object looks like a relic case which would have held a piece of bone or hair from a catholic saint. Very similar to one we had in our family in Ireland.

[@Wildmansart]

MacIntyre!

[@ginnyhardy-uf6th]

You and your bottle tops lol !

[@theodorebeaudoin3048]

The broach resembles a guitar or Lyre.

[@jamesaitchison3750]

John you are finding silvers but no CARROT gold thanks again cheers

[@Becca2334]

We, here in the USA, want to go metal detecting with you!

[@marycarlson8837]

"Brooch" at 10:20 - it looks like a dress clip to me. Turn it the other way round, so the roundy part is at the top.

[@andy1056]

Glass lens moght have been a little window on machinery to show oil or fuel level in the component, generally, oil halfway up the glass was operating level….?

[@petersargent1199]

Hi John I had a thought, found a George 3rd coin at the weekend and not as bad condition as some but a really strong green imprint. It made me think if one was to leave the imprint in place and in the clod , would it improve the final condition once it had completely dried out. Just a thought

[@Jennifer.A1]

Your glass piece must be a part of some sort of glasses 🤓 or such maybe have Simon test it out for you 😂 Happy Sunday see you again soon…

[@borc013]

Yea!

[@carolh9734]

Glass object.Is it possibly a lense of some sort. Couldn't see if metalwork was threaded. Another piece of jewellery, shame it's not diamonds this time. Actually,did you get the other piece tested? Considering that you were worrying a few weeks ago about running out of fields suitable for detecting you're doing pretty well.😁

[@daveylennox9549]

John im based in perth and id gladly come out on a dig with you for some company mate

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Davey. Leave it with me!

[@daveylennox9549]

Cool and maybe i could return the favour 😊​@thescottishdetectorist

[@leigh7776]

The 10 minute mark it looks like a violin brooch or hair barrette to me

[@patty4091]

Silver, a bit of jewelry, nice ! And of course the junk! 😂 good to see you, albeit wet! 😂. A fun way, detecting, to catch your second shower of the day!

[@luannski6895]

I think you should also carry a sieve with you and when you find a brooch like the one with diamonds you should go through the dirt around it to check for the missing stones.

[@margaretbarclay-laughton2086]

That would be another thing for John to forget at home

[@jimwinter4635]

It's a lute, I think

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Aha! Thanks Jim

[@BoldLion]

Mate that round thing with a double sided hole . That hole looked like a 🗝️ hole. Is it possible!

[@deancawthrow3149]

the broach looks like a guitar.

[@MadDog0621]

I thought so too!

[@johnwalford9347]

we had picture rails and picture hangers in the 1950's

[@GaliSinatra]

Why would Elizabeth II have a Tudor Rose on her coin? I never realized that before.

[@nilesy]

Mate you gotta tell us your Skoosh Theory. Every day I'm sittin here like mate skoosh that find and you refuse to skoosh. Please, enlighten us as to the skoosh facts.

[@user-wm9cd6gn9b]

PC. WITH THE STONES IS A GUITAR DECORATION.

[@MsVictory1945]

No, it is a buckle - a common Victorian motif.

[@Cathydavidson061]

Well done John..sorry no friends out with you, but leaves more for you to find..."wink wink"...lol

[@dbaca148]

14:15 round glass piece. binocular lens?

[@HanstheTraffer]

"Do you have Prince Albert in a can"...."You better let him out".....That's from the old days of pipe tobacco.

[@donreed417]

Jolly good day once again. I think the chaff on top is taking away your depth. Bet there's older coins.
