UNCOVERING a find that travelled 6,000 MILES only to be lost and DISCOVERED AGAIN by the XP DEUS 2!

[@smoggysearcher3852]

Lovely to see Simon back out with you always makes us laugh great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍

[@thegoodearth7]

My favorite KZbin channel! Even if you can't post remarkable finds, the quality of the channel and your natural sense of humor make always makes watching it fun and informative!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Turns out the Chinese coin is 50% silver 🤩 so I’m even happier and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos and information…. And humour! Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@lordleonusa]

That thing at 3.34, with the hole at one end and the point at the other is a pre 4th Century Roman STRAP END. One for the museum.

[@toadrepublic]

I love the coin fade-in showing it in new condition. That's an excellent touch. Stellar work.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks 🐸! It takes a lot more work but everyone enjoys the extra effort so well worth it!!

[@bryant7895]

Aye I agree. Brilliant!

[@karmah88]

@@thescottishdetectorist it was watching time team when i was a child, and finally making sense of everything they'd been talking about when they showed an artists impression over the existing landscape, or finished the bit of pot or whatever, that really made me get into history like i did, so thanks for adding the extra effort.

'The Wizard' was a DC Thompson comic from the 20s through to the 60s

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Amazing thanks Paul! That’ll help me narrow it down

@@thescottishdetectoristI'm sure it's used to decode "secret" messages sent from the TV program. Using those random letters at the bottom and then perhaps numbers to move vertically, you could convert a coded letter and number into a readable letter.

The Secret service badges were a free gift with The Wizard comic 1950-1960.

Great video sir! I love the little oddities you bring out of the earth.

[@Tom-ff5ro]

I was yesterday a few hours metal detecting and found only trash. But today I was on a walk with the family over the border in Switzerland. We bought a soft drink, and in the change I found a 10 Rappen (swiss "cent") coin from 1909 ! There's treasure everywhere 😊

[@jaydurtsche2569]

Loud and clear, always great video

[@dougleandmaize16]

John,I'm so impressed by your time and effort to this hobby. Bring on the gold relic or coin

[@paulevans5455]

At 11:50 the handle is from an Ever Ready Razor circa 1900/1915. Kwang Tung 20 cents/ 2 Jiao , 7th year of Republic of China 1912 to 1924. The fineness of many of these 20 Cent pieces is as low as .500 silver, and in 1924, the Anhwei Mint secretly produced quantities that were only .400 silver.(Details from NUMISTA).

That horse is higher quality than most childrens lead toys, your charm of comic book club is interesting.

[@redpill5471]

Shouldn't ignore old outhouse sink holes/pits. A creator on KZbin `Below The Plains` in USA found a bottle worth $16,000 dollars! 😊

[@RunningGrass-we7tm]

I love that channel too

[@billypotts1327]

The razer blade handle? is a lovely pattern one. Certainly reminds me of one. The head with the blades in would sit on top. To open and close the head to change the blades would be done by screwing the handle and head. Looks engined turned as well. But maybe just pressed. Keep doing what your doing John. Makes our weekend 👍

[@diggingnashvegas]

Wish I could be there in Scotland hitting those fields....love the vids gents

[@sharlenezuhlke1561]

So, this is the time of year when metal detecting and tour guiding collide. Good luck in both. Happy Easter!😊

[@susanbdusan2785]

The copper object at around 6 - 7 minutes looks to me like a stopper. It even has a little “shelf” running around it, maybe to keep it from going any further into the mouth of the stoppee.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Susan! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for the suggestion

[@scottemery4737]

That looks a lot like a 12-gauge shotgun dummy shell. I would allow the user to pull the trigger without damaging the firing pin.

[@canadianphil421]

Thank you so much for the awesome history lesson great video as always

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Much appreciated Phil and I’m glad you enjoyed

[@saffification]

The items you believe to be slate pencils, look like the carbon cores from the old batteries. As an inquisitive kid I took many apart, after leaving them in my various toys until they leaked and destroyed the item.

[@Jennifer.A1]

Love the little secret service wizard badge! I lost count of coins for this go! Gorgeous George showing up as always 😂 Glad to see you’re staying busy on and off the fields!

Have you tried the starfish custom program yet John? Watched another chap on KZbin yesterday and he said to always detect the starfish. Might be the way forward 😁. Keep up the good work, love the channel 👍👍👍

Great pulp bro. Made for great watching. Crazy finding that Chinese coin where you did.! Not to be sniffed at, as it has value. Interesting stuff. Bless up 👊

Well done John 😁

[@741662027]

John, I always turn my volume up one notch for your videos, even today. Test it yourself: play someone else's video, then yours, and compare volume levels. But it's not a big deal, just setting the level.

[@michaelturner1435]

Firstly i love all of the videos John. The bike bells your finding are the bottom half of the bell that screwed onto the top half. If they weren't screwed up tight they had a habit of slowly unscrewing themselves and then falling on the ground while your cycling.

[@s70wul17]

Great videos, could you tell me what spade you use please? Keep the videos coming, love watching them

[@patty4091]

Nice finds!

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Thanks Patty. Would love to know the story of that coin!!

[@chezaspup]

Hi John I can remember spending farthings in 1967!! (I was 8 and would get 2 Black Jacks for one!) They apparently stopped making them in 1956 and ceased to be legal tender in the UK December 1961!. Seems I had a very kind shopkeeper 😂. You should check your farthings online, some are valuable. Great hunt again, always love seeing Simon, yous are hilarious together. Chez

[@Magnet.M.A.D]

A great day in the end John. I’m sure that field will produce a lot moth 🤗👍

[@michellezenner]

That long metal circle thing 2:50 looks like a wooden box latch. idk If the box and lock were buried- its contents might be there! Keep digging! 😂

[@toniomalley5661]

Hi John hi Simon good to see you both why so much of gorgeous Gorgeous I wonder

[@ouzalghost8411]

Good to see you've made a full recovery and looking well again John, I think that with the amount of surface finds your making you might as well leave the detector at home as you appear to be getting good at it. I love the 5th dagger thing and good to see Simon he has that Tommy Cooper effect he doesn't have to say or do much and he just makes me laugh. Good video lads 😁👍

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Good evening Mr ghost 👻 Hope you and Mrs ghost are well and getting out detecting! Freshly ploughed soil and rain seems to be bringing up plenty of eyes only that’s for sure! I love the fifth dagger too. As for Simon, you’re right, he can make you laugh ‘just like that’ boom boom 💥

[@paulinesalinas9443]

Good to see you both out again and even though the silver eludes you both it’s a fun and interesting video. Good to see the different things you dig up - I’m sure you’ve wondered how door knobs and fittings end up in the middle of fields - Maybe burnt there? I’ve even found a Ford Anglia door handle!! Nice little Kwangtung Province coin though and how did that end up in Perthshire? 🤔

[@NickHoKo]

Another great video John, 20 cents Hong Kong/China coin. Greetings from Hong Kong!

[@garysmith1178]

You had a much better day than I had last time I was out John. The fields around here are saturated, completely water logged. 🤷‍♂️ The first mystery object you found could possibly be some kind of strap end I think.

[@coryengel]

At 11:30 maybe a handle for razor, or magnifying glass?

[@karaoke4121]

Commerative medal was for Edwards coronation, I was lucky enough to find a silver one

[@Chris17198]

Hi John … I might be mistaken but isn’t that a Hong Kong Cent .. there currency is the Hong Kong Dollar of course … what do you think ?

[@marcharkins2882]

Razor handle, I have a similar complete one that was mi papas 😊

[@margaretjohnson4413]

Amazing little pendant from the boys, I believe weekly, comic The Wizard . Two razor handles, the early one looks like a deluxe 1930s one my dad had a similar one, he was born in 1917. The Gibbs Dentifrice was still in use in the 1950s and even early 60s. along with the ponds day cream and a heavier one that was night cream. I wondered if the shaped metal had any sign of a broken catch that could mean it was a brooch. I was a bit concerned about the large heavy bronze looking cylinder as it seemed to have some lettering on the side have a look and a carful clean and maybe a cap at one end . Give it a very gentle clean to see. Handle it carefully. It may be some sort of ammunition and dangerous. Recently you have had a couple of things that you thought were from hat pins, It is also possible that they were from the top of knitting pins. Knitting needles. Hat pins were usually a bit more decorative.

[@alanlucas2886]

[@robmayhew3271]

No notice came for Premier on this John but enjoyed your video

[@slugjones]

Another cracking vid lads well done, can you please tell us what the red plastic pick you use is please

[@paulinesalinas9443]

Have you tried Gary’s Tekkna programme yet? It’s brill at finding those small items and coins, and distinguishes well with the range of tones. Only problem I’ve found is it uses the coil strength faster than Sens FT.

[@WitsEndGirl]

There's a secret service badge, a free gift with the Wizard comic (1922 to 1963). The badges look like they were given away in 1930. What a cracking childhood object. I also love the Chinese coin. It's amazing what ends up in the ground and how far it travels to get there. Good episode!

[@scottscottydog]

Thanks John for the upload. “Scotland from the sky” on iplayer, there was one on Perth. Wondered if you’d seen the series. Take care guys! Happy Easter

[@joeljeffery8704]

Love your channel and your content! Been following you from the first. Great finds always. Those carbon rods might be the core of a battery. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@tricial4330]

Here's what I found on the wee badge, there are 2 of them for sale on WorthPoint: Wizard comic free gift badge/pendant probably dating from the 1950/1960s-Secret Service Badge No 3, The Fifth Dagger, The Wizard comic was published between 1946-1963. That was a very cool Chinese coin, also has some value depending on the date/condition etc. Always good to see the Dynamic Duo!

[@davidstrother496]

Thanks for the video, John and Simon. I'm getting pretty good at identifying your English and European coins, especially for someone native to W. Texas. The Chinese coin was not expected from the fields of Perthshire, what a unique find. Cheers from Texas.

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Many thanks David. A long way from him that’s for sure and I’d love to know how it made it all this way and who lost it!

[@aumetalmental8403]

I'm glad you do live digs, that's metal detecting. If you don't do any live digs, then it's just show and tell. I've unsubscribed to many channels because of it. It's about the journey, not the finds, they're a plus. Excitement, disappointment, frustration, joy, witty banter, that's your video. Just saying...🤔🧐✌️😎 maybe I spoke too soon

If it’s your last time on a field before it’s planted, is it better to find nothing so you feel like you’ve found everything worth finding or finish on a high and dream about the field until it’s harvested?

Hope your Easter was amazing

[@alphabetsoup7918]

At 31:04. One of a series of Secret Service Badges given out free with The Wizard Comic from the 1950s. The one you have found is badge number 3. I used to get The Wizard every week in the early 50s to early60s.

Well, it wouldn’t let me add onto my other comment, so I’m commenting here not a bad day at all especially when you got into that new field, which I think definitely needs some more detecting as you’ve barely scratched the surface of it. Great video thanks for sharing. See you on the next one.👍🏼👊🏼

[@MaryKeane-n8f]

The heavy cylinder found at about minute 24 seems to have a line around the end opposite the dimple. I wonder if this is a cap that comes off. Possible a small canister full of coins? You found something like that once before.

[@mikepetrucha2774]

The green triangular thing with the hole and skinny narrow piece is a Roman pull tab.
