Please do a follow up and show us that tremendous gold hammered coin after it's been straightened out. What a fantastic day for you all. That great triangle item may have been the head of a weapon from the bronze era. Keep digging in lovely Scotland, that's where the best of the best are found!
Well done fantastic find If you hand it in to Treasure trove you shall be lucky if you get it back in a year,they are pretty much not doing there job due to covid and the many changes at the museum plus they may not straighten it out, it's amazing how much gold is being found can't wait for the next one..
Great video and some nice finds, just joined your channel on the advice of Cleggy. Well put together video, keep them coming. Clear, concise and full of great content. Kind regards Andrew
Wow!! Another find of a lifetime. And he's been metal detecting for 9 months only.... Congratulations to finder! You post great vids. Detecting fields like this one is like a dream for every metal detectorist out there. And I learn a lot about Scottish history as well, and about Kings and coins.
Hey lads, from Alaska, USA.. Good finds.. That folded Gold coin, I'd say it's been folded by farming instruments, and so the discoloration on the edge would be from rubbing on the plow! That's my guess and I'M sticken to it. This is my first time seeing your video. Will look for more. Thumbs up!!
Wonderful finds indeed !! You all did very well , lots of old coins but that Gold Hammered Coin takes the cake ! Please do a follow up on that coin. After a big celebration at the local pub you might all be known as the Hammered Detectorists !! Cheers from Canada
13:51 pity that wasn't a gold "Sea Horse" (LOL). It's the long connecting rod off a ballcock float valve for cisterns and water tanks. Great compulsive viewing I've been telling everyone about your filmings, keep them coming.
@@thescottishdetectorist - Entirely my pleasure. I live in an area of North Carolina that was settled in the mid-1700s. I have found a few of those Tombac buttons, exactly like what you found, a few musket balls, a "Dandy Button" (large decorative coat buttons) a KGII half penny and one farthing. It's fun watching you guys pull all that old stuff. BTW my family name is Stewart. My family drove around Scotland in the 1970's, felt like home.
I am watching your video because of Cleggy. His shout out has weight. But also he is a good judge. Enjoyed the video very much and of course the gold was spectacular. But overall good content even without it. I think you will have to invite Cleggy to your gold fields😉. The best of luck to you fellows.
The large "bullet" looks like a designer ball point pen cap or possibly a calligraphy pen well as with other small (bullet) bit later in vid. WOW! and congratulations on the hammered gold find! great shout out Clegg!
Brill vid, impressed by your knowledge of Scottish history, I'm only down the road in Stirling, do you need someone to hold your digging spade, i could carry me Nox 800 in my other hand :)
The jury is still out on this. The experts say it’s the real deal. A Flemish issue Gold Ryal of Edward IV but we won’t know for sure until it’s straightened and weighed and given the once over. Certainly seems to weigh around 8g with the mud attached, just not sure about that edge!
Do you ever check around the nearby water sources in areas that you detect? Everyone requires water and bathing and clothes washing results in lost items.
@@thescottishdetectorist I've been looking for years but around 3 years ago I bought an ATX Garrett they should come with a warning telling you must like digging.Nothing of importance found .Ox shoes which is interesting.A very old knife that was used for specifically gutting salmon all good to research but no moola.Good luck guys go back to the spot after the winter you never know what hard frost might push up.
There should be a law that until you recognize a gold coin, you aren't allowed to find them. You reminded me of a couple of things. First, strangely my thistles are not up. They usually are blooming by this time. Temps still in the 90's until Wednesday when a cool front blows through and drops to the upper 80's. So it's very late for the thistles....and almost sweating to see you all in hoodies. Second thing is that Wallace Simpson and I are distant cousins. Her mother was a Montague and so is my 2nd great g'mother.
@@thescottishdetectorist hey mate, unfortunately you won’t ever see me out with him again, he messaged me out of the blue 1 night saying our friendship was over and I’m not welcome out with him anymore, complete shock to me as I thought we were friends but he didn’t like that I was finding better stuff then him so kicked me off his channel, he has blocked me on Facebook and done nothing but spread lies about me since, he is a horrible little man mate and completely up him self. I’m still detecting though mate and out with some much friendlier people and finding nice stuff.good to hear from you mate 👍🏻
Great finds and the hammered is incredible, will take some work to straighten it! (assume TT will be all over that!!) The heavy triangle thing is a iron insert from a clothes iron, would be heated on a fire prior to use. GL & HH
Im wondering where you are detecting,im in jedburgh most weekends and have a permission there but apatr from vic pennies and stuff decent finds are hard to come by.
I've only been detecting a few times, each time with a borrowed metal detector. Where I live was a military base in both wars so there is a lot of garbage. After finding many shell cases I found a 1933 silver shilling. The soil here has plenty of natural iron, to find the Viking gold I'm going to need advice.
Well done fantastic find If you hand it in to Treasure trove you shall be lucky if you get it back in a year,they are pretty much not doing there job due to covid and the many changes at the museum plus they may not straighten it out, it's amazing how much gold is being found can't wait for the next one..
What a outstanding find! Martin! Some coin heaven guys! That one man has no respect for martins find. Good god man. Don't scrape on someone eleses find!
Ps. The unidentifide piece of ‘plough-like’ item is the insert for an clothes iron. It would be heated on the fire before being put into the clothes iron.
It's called a slug and is definitely for an old iron I dug one up at a garrison and it had markings on it. Cool find but not as good as that lovely gold coin.
The triangle piece is for working stone. They found one similar on oak island the TV show here in America and they think it's connected to the knights Templar.
@@thescottishdetectorist yeah same does look like a noble. Yh i couldnt beleave it when you said that almost had heart attack lol just thinkin about it i always say to people if unsure ask me when i take them out what a find tho see his face when you told him what he had priceless 👍👍
Yeah, something not quite right about the edges, but we’ll know in around three weeks once it’s been properly inspected and professionally straightened
Can’t believe it. Gold coins are apparently like buses! None for ages then two turn up at once. Can’t believe I had to wait 22 years and Marty gets a bigger one after 9 months 😆
Fantastic gold coin, what a spectacular find! I found a rolled-up Gold Angel last year but would love to employ someone to straighten it out! Any suggestions or contacts? Beautifully filmed video by the way! Cheers Andy
I'm with Peter on this, and I know you can't tell with pictures but it looks very dull for hammered gold and almost sure the edges are dark where the gold plating has rubbed off and the silver has oxidised. I also suspect that is why its been deliberately folded in such a way. I hope I'm wrong but a very interesting and rare find if it is indeed a counterfeit.
What a cracking hunt! The George II was cool, even the pin was pretty cool, but that gold coin: WOW! I agree: gonna need a follow-up vid once you get it (professionally!) straightened. You make running commentary about "spendable" vs. not. Has the British gov't actually de-valued past currency? Here in the U.S., I could dig an 18th century large cent and still legally spend it (even though I wouldn't, of course). I don't think ANY of our money has been de-valued, except of course the Confederate States coinage (which is a country that no longer exists, naturally). Interesting stuff!
Did Martin have 2 pints of lager before detecting as you did last weekend before finding GOLD ?... I'm glad you said you would have coin professionally straightened out. It is always tempting to straighten in the field. I hope it is not a chocolate coin wrapper!!!!! Cheeeeeeeeeers
Great vid great finds guys well done. But please don't throw rubbish finds in hedges, hedges may not always be there but junk will stay for other detectorist to dig up again
It's a candy wrap, haha! Idk but, those edges are really strange, no way 22k gold did that. Unless it's just crusty dirt, idk? I'd have it tested, I like that ring too. HH great finds thanks for sharing!!
Enjoying your videos. Between you and Cleggy I spend a lot of time watching you two finding all kinds of treasures. Thks for all you do.
Many thanks and thanks to Cleggy for the shout out
Please do a follow up and show us that tremendous gold hammered coin after it's been straightened out. What a fantastic day for you all. That great triangle item may have been the head of a weapon from the bronze era. Keep digging in lovely Scotland, that's where the best of the best are found!
Hoping he’ll have it back in three or four weeks so can’t wait to do another video!!
@@thescottishdetectorist buzzing to see the result mate!

I'm loving your in-depth knowledge of history, it makes your videos even more fascinating
Many thanks for watching and for the kind words
A lot of good finds but Martin’s Gold coin steals the show congrats, see you on the next one

Many thanks. Yes, I can’t believe he outdoes me a week after my first gold in 22 years and he does it in 9mths… I must have taught him too well 😔
Congratulations 🥳
Thank you for your video.
Omg what a find nice one mate well done

So glad Cleggy gave me the heads up on your channel 😉
Thanks for watching

The long bullet looks like a dart , missing it's point and flights. Keep the videos coming. Thanks
Great finds nice coins. Love the Scottish Turner gold hammered
What an amazing find...congratulations
On a lucky streak. May it continue!
Surely not sustainable but for two of four to find their first gold hammered in a week surely an incredible stat
Congratulations. 👑💪
Wonderful finds indeed !! You all did very well , lots of old coins but that Gold Hammered Coin takes the cake ! Please do a follow up on that coin. After a big celebration at the local pub you might all be known as the Hammered Detectorists !! Cheers from Canada
I’ll definitely do a follow up. I hope it’s in good condition once professionally unfolded! Thanks for watching 🇨🇦 🏴
The really really heavy triangle is a clothes iron! You lot are a lucky bunch, I think Petes just jealous haha
Many thanks 😊
I live in California. But was raised in dunked. I know you know where that is. Loving seeing perthshire again
Not far from me Dunkeld. It’s a beautiful wee village and I love visiting
What a field, amazing finds! Congrats to Martin! Please show us the unbent coin after he gets it fixed! Amazing!❤
Yes, great day for Martyn. What a coin!!!

New Subscriber here. Great stuff. That first button looks like a spun back Tombak button 1700's. Enjoying the Channel a lot. Congrats Martin! HH

Hi John. Thanks for watching. History is my passion. Who knows maybe we’ll catch up some time!! Happy hunting 🥳
Used to break up rocks. I use those in oak Island about 400 years ago
Great find Martin and some interesting finds all round 🎉
Many thanks
Nice find and thanks for the restored coin pic. That's definitely a Rose Noble and Edward IV 1464-1470. Estimates range from 1500-7500 pounds.
I’m hoping it’ll be a beautiful coin once it’s opened up again!! Fingers crossed. I can’t wait to see it
I also have a solid silver hammered coin which has been gilded to pass off as a gold coin and it has the same dull colour to it.
The jury is still out on this. The experts say it’s the real deal. A Flemish issue Gold Ryal of Edward IV but we won’t know for sure until it’s straightened and weighed and given the once over. Certainly seems to weigh around 8g with the mud attached, just not sure about that edge!

I always try and pick fields next to rivers… I’m with you. It’s a logical place to look
hi guys, amazing finds the bullet object may be a barrel of a dart minus the point
I think you’re right!! Many thanks
Great channel. New sub. Your knowledge of history and our monarchy is excellent. Thanks for sharing. Jason.
New follower here, what a channel 👏. Absolutely smashing work
Many thanks ☺️
Congratulations from France
spot on guys nothing gold in Oban so far- nice find eating my heart oot, well done!
Took me 22 years but I hope you aren’t waiting quite so long!

Just seen this, wow well done the finder, only seen one come up before but that was over St Andrews area, well done again
Hi mate where can I see the gold hammered straight-end out?? Pics or video? Love your videos keep them coming 👍👏
It’s waiting to go to Treasure Trove but more to follow on that soon. They can’t keep up at the moment
Need your advice on a pair of shoes I've found...

It was the last thing we expected so I think it’s one of those pinch yourself moments where you simply can’t believe it
Cracking day out great content to these vids. Would like to see the gold coin straightened out.. sw🏴👍.
Just subscribed to your channel bud, heard you find really great things, don’t let me down 🤣😂👍🏻

a golden hammy wow wow wow
It looks like an old clothes iron,used to heat them on a fire or stove,looks like the round hole could of been where the handle was attatched
Thanks for the info
Im wondering where you are detecting,im in jedburgh most weekends and have a permission there but apatr from vic pennies and stuff decent finds are hard to come by.
We are in Perthshire, the cradle of Scottish civilisation 🙃
I looked up an Edward III gold Noble and saw the same features as on your coin.
I've only been detecting a few times, each time with a borrowed metal detector. Where I live was a military base in both wars so there is a lot of garbage.

Wow congratulations 👏
Thanks Jane. Martyn’s over the moon
@@thescottishdetectorist no wonder lol
NEVER EVER in all of TH-cam and others have we've ever seen a coin... Or gold coin be this way
The triangle piece is for working stone. They found one similar on oak island the TV show here in America and they think it's connected to the knights Templar.
Thanks for the info, I’ll look that up!!
Nice channel and subscribed 😜
I had one of those 1906 the other day and a 1907 the day after
Cant wait to see this
Me too!! I’m hoping to see a king on a ship holding a sword and a flag and to think he thought it was a bottle top 😂

Congrats on the gold coin!! Could the triangle thing be a plumb bob?
I think you might be right!
Awesome!
hi guys cleggy sent me !
Welcome aboard and thanks to Cleggy. Hope I can bring content as good as his!
looks like the gold noble had been mounted in something like a brooch
Yeah, something not quite right about the edges, but we’ll know in around three weeks once it’s been properly inspected and professionally straightened
Amazing..

You can’t spend a coin that doesn’t have the monarch on it. They re-call the coinage and there’s an overlap but then that’s it
how man.... lmao. congrats!
Thanks. Over the moon for Marty
The flat round piece with the tag, could be the remains of the brass section of a shotgun shell. The inner circle would be the primer.
Thanks for the info!! Much appreciated
The traingle thing may be a old flat iron?
You are spot on, many thanks
Has it been straightened yet ?
Still waiting on the Museum 🙄 things don’t move fast!!
Another cracking find, keep it up! Could the bullet be a dart?
I think you’re right! Many thanksb
Lexi knows it's gold, look at her tail go 😄
Did Martin have 2 pints of lager before detecting as you did last weekend before finding GOLD ?... I'm glad you said you would have coin professionally straightened out. It is always tempting to straighten in the field. I hope it is not a chocolate coin wrapper!!!!! Cheeeeeeeeeers
Haha 😆
Thanks for watching. Martyn is struggling to get his head through the door… and no beer involved
The coin is gold plated and was folded like that because it was discovered to be a contemporary forgery, it's either a silver core or lead core.
That triangular thing with a hole through it at 32:50 looks like a blacksmith's swage to me.
Incredible!! Ya wana get in touch with Barry Sherlock, he will have that flat as a pancake and looking perfect!!
Many thanks Dukes. Can’t believe the jammy git finds if after nine months, on my field and a week after mine…. And it’s bigger 😂
As someone else mentioned, I thought plated Silver too as Gold is Gold. Great find nonetheless.
We’ll know for sure once the coins been straightened, weighed and properly examined. Hopefully three weeks or so and we’ll know for sure!
That is an an iron for pressing cloth.
Spend able pennies are free often found in doorways on Sunday morning.
Great vid great finds guys well done. But please don't throw rubbish finds in hedges, hedges may not always be there but junk will stay for other detectorist to dig up again
Many thanks 😊
Great hunt and video, could that bullet be a 303 tracer round? Or 8mm (Nazi) , the Luftwaffe used 8mm (7.92) ammo in their aircraft...
It's a candy wrap, haha! Idk but, those edges are really strange, no way 22k gold did that. Unless it's just crusty dirt, idk? I'd have it tested, I like that ring too. HH great finds thanks for sharing!!
Many thanks. We think it’s the real deal, a Flemish Rose Gold Noble. Possibly Edward IV
The triangular item looks like a plumb-bob to me.
Thanks Neil. I think you are right!
