[@1124mdburke]

Hello from Northern California! I am a retired RN, recently disabled, I have never done any metal detecting and never knew I would be interested in it. I found your channel simply by accident when you had about 9000 subscribers. I subscribed because of how you explained the history of what you were finding and I found it fascinating. Your personality is also easy to relate to because you are just being a genuine person. I applaud your success when finding a treasure and your growing KZbin following! Thank you for providing many hours of entertainment and for your efforts at making good content. I always look forward to your next video and want you to know that they really help me get through some days when I am having a hard time with my chronic pain condition. Thank you, ( you’ll never know how your positive attitude can touch people you’ll never meet💕)

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Well you’ve made my day. Thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely message and I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying. Best wishes to you and thanks again. John

[@jodychapple5351]

I love listening to your knowledge of history and I personally wouldn't call it waffling on. Even on days when you don't find much, it is still enjoyable to watch. Thank you again for your videos, your content is amazing.

“Some sort of thing, for doing stuff” 😂

[@jonniewalker6925]

You can ramble on all you want to. I have learned more about the history of the UK, in the matter of fact, the United States in the last three years listening to you.

[@josephdunivan9432]

Right I've learned a lot as well

[@aprilleighallred8546]

Me too! John has taught me so much history. He really is amazing!

[@jeanniemorales7092]

John, John, John- It's perfectly fine To ramble on! Love your talks, Your history brains, Your detectoring walks. So post your journeys, And the things you find For those of us sitting On our behinds!!😅 ❤❤

[@sheilaabayateye1558]

John i had a look online the charles 1 looks like a silver penny the half groat had '11' to the right of his head

[@fiberotter]

Nice bonus day you haven't had like that in a while. I have a front porch toad named Boris. He is a whopper. I had to get the dogs a different water bowl out because due to the drought, most evenings Boris uses it as his water bed. Funny critter.

[@swampfizz]

5 pints of ale..what a nightmare of a loss...that got me to chuckle out loud

[@CraneofBoulogne]

That spike with the ring on it at the twenty minute mark looks a great deal like the ones found here in our area when I have made an old oak tree into firewood. The spike was driven into a tree and the ring was a secure way to tie your buggy horse securely in place. As the tree ages the sap wood grows over the entire device, burying it until the tree either falls or is cut down for whatever reason. Saw the wood into blocks, split those blocks into firewood and you just might find one or more of these tie rings. I have personally found a dozen or so of them splitting firewood, and when you find one you often find a half dozen in one tree. I actually found one in my wood stove amongst the ashes, obviously left there when the wood burned away.

[@DJWESG1]

We used oak tree to hang people from exclusively. 'A fellons oak' , rings also served as a rope hold.

[@chalmer31]

This is one of the most charming ways I can think of to learn history!

[@diverdannavyvet9672]

The guy who just found the 350 coin hoard, when asked if he had advice for detectorists, said "Dig iron." The start of his hoard find was masked by iron.

[@dgb56bgd]

Keep on waffling, my Scottish Detectorist friend. To me, you’re not waffling at all. I cherish, still being able to learn something new, while enjoying your prose. Frankly, I could watch DD or the H boys to enjoy the detecting, but I just don’t learn anything new, so I wait for you. Blessings and thanks, my Scottish Detectorist friend.

[@robertbarnes8327]

Love your commentary. Is there any date you don't know?

Stop apologising for waffling, John - it's actually all fascinating information. Keep it coming!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks for the kind words …. I just have this thing in my head that after 30 seconds of talking about the same thing people are falling asleep 😴 😂

[@bwc1878]

@@thescottishdetectorist Be assured, that isn't at all true. At the ancient age of 63 I'm a complete newbie to all this and I am in awe of your knowledge. I've been watching your videos for a few months while I ummed and ahhed about whether to give detecting a go as a hobby (knackered knees v love of history). But your enthusiasm and story-telling encouraged me to just get on with it. Two days in and I dug up my first coin yesterday - a George III half penny, I think. What a thrill! I also think I may have dug up either a small Roman or mediaeval lead weight. So thank you - you may well have played a huge part in opening up a whole new chapter in my life. Respect!

[@lordleonusa]

You are correct, the re-coinage took place from 1860. the Pennies got smaller and thinner and changed from Copper to Bronze. The date moved from the obverse to the reverse.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks 😊

[@alanlucas2886]

yay hi john

[@elizaonthemountain3464]

😂Blowing a hoolie? Love to know what a hoolie is. Great vid and really enjoy all the info and anecdotes. Cheers

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks 😊 😆 we’ll my understanding is that a hoolie is a howling gale in old Scots and in Irish a hoolie is a wild party…. So a bit of both perhaps 😆

[@jaquiinsuffolk6730]

fascinating episode your historical knowledge is amazing, i learn so much and marvel at your wonderful finds i can only dream. keep up the fantastic job 😀😀

Awesome hunt what great finds! Awesome day for you, As to waffling on, please do! love the Scottish accent and the commentary sometimes sounds a bit aussie as in, you said, The dodgy target, another tool, some sort of thing for doing stuff, it made me laugh, would love to see it cleaned, does it have a maker's mark on it ? same on the spoon handle i thought i could see number's ?.

Early Charles II coins were hammered and he faced to the left. From 1663 Charles faced to the right and these were milled.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Much appreciated Steve

[@garysmith1178]

Cracking day there John. I didn't know about the riots or war of the bishops leading to the civil war. Very interesting. I'm certain that Charles coin is a penny. They did make silver pennies and two peaces. I've been lucky enough to find a Charles II silver Maundy two pence coin.

Oddly, I found a hammered Charles1st Scottish coin (thistle on the back) here in Devon last month. Makes you wonder. Great watch as ever.

Hi John, i got a bit behind so have binge watched and caught up. You've had some wonderful outings lately. I hope detectorville goes well. 😊😊

[@aprilrichmond9888]

I love the very old silver, but although I’m only 61 I still think of things like pennies, shillings, thrupennies and hae’pennies spendables as you call them, in the 60’s as young children we’d catch grandpa coming home from the local on a Saturday afternoon and he’d give us all his pennies for ice lollies! I’m too young for farthings so excited to see those!

[@Daveofdonny]

I love how you know so much history it makes your videos so interesting.

[@lordleonusa]

The cartwheel penny was so called because of the rim on both sides, as well as the size and weight. There was a Cartwheel 1/2d, 1d and 2d, each one double the weight of the one below. (I have one of each in my collection, they are copper)

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Good info! Much appreciated

Decimalisation started in 1971 however the first decimal coins were introduced as early as 1968 to ease people into the transition with 5p equal to 1 shilling and 10p half a crown 😎

[@calliecooke1817]

What a great outing!! 3 silvers in one day is pretty sweet. The farm equipment nowadays is amazing. My grand-dad told me about reaping wheat with a scythe and shocking it. I remember following the baler and throwing the square bales up on a wagon, and then conveying into the hayloft. Hardest work I've ever done and I'm a roofer!! Technology has come a long way in a hundred years. Do you have a favorite whiskey? A single malt, I'd assume, since you couldn't remember blended. LOL Thanks

[@sergehorion7155]

In a quiet field like that, you should try to detect with the Deep HC program, even more as you have access to the 34x28 coil. But I am also partial, I really do not like how Sensitive program 3 sounds like. By the way, the Romanov family was murdered in July 1918. Nice silver coins. Will there be another video before Detectival?

I love the fact that you’re so down to earth and easy going. I’ve actually learned things from you since I’ve watched your channel. I enjoy your longer videos the best.
