The coin with all the holes is undoubtedly a map-key to find the buried hoard in the field! Lay it over an arial and align the lay lines! Good luck!
I thought the same. Like from the movie the Goonies.
@@shellstars I love that movie!
That would be interesting to do😂😂
The coin with the holes stand in the right spot line it up wae the landscape and it will point to the treasure/horde
Like the goonies
Yessssss like one eyed Willy all over again 🏴☠️ 🥳
Or the constellations
Copper has anti-bacterial properties. That's why the leather survives so long.
Great to meet you John, had a great time at my first detecting event. you were so giving and humble with your knowledge and was great to meet the gang.
hope you're all well and thanks for the brilliant content.
stay safe
giles
Glad to see you're feeling better. For that coin with all the holes, I'm thinking that the coin was at the center of a target and it was pierced several times by weapons being used at the particular target. Perhaps arrows? I'm thinking that some arrows had bodkin tips that might leave a triangular hole, or perhaps throwing spikes sometimes called torpedoes? For me, anyways this seems to be the most logical reason for all the holes in that coin. Someone might have been practicing his thrown weapons skills. the Round hole in the center might be from a nail used to hold it to the target wood like a log slice or similar. if Anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears.
in the 1970s when I was a teen my parents and grandparents camped both summers along the side of one of our trout streams. I couldn't figure out why they set the campers so close to the bank but finally realized they'd been digging up an old blacksmith's shop and didn't want anyone else to know. Lots and lots of horseshoes and farm tools. That old detector still works, too.
Happy memories!!
Thank you so:much, I enjoy all of your comments about the history where you are!
Many thanks Gail. I’m glad you enjoy and thanks for watching
Good to see you back again. The livery button with the bent arm (it's called embowed) may well be of the Jamieson family. There are several similar ones, but only a couple holding an axe.
Missed watching your finds each day for the last week, glad you're feeling better! Take donations next year for a warmer bigger tent so you don't get sick lol!
I'm glad you're better, John. It's great to see you back in the fields of Perthshire. 👍
Congratulations on 23,000 subscribers 👏
Awww, the wee bairns not getting some bread and milk for supper after Da’s hard day of work in the field. Quite a loss, I feel that pain worse than him missing out on a pint of beer. Thanks for putting it in perspective. Love to watch you work and hear the history. Thanks!
Thanks!
Many thanks Les
Great video again John. Glad u made it through the virus. Coin with all the holes is probably what they alled a whizzer. Colonial age over here across the pond. I've found 3 and they all were different. Kids made them. Spun them around and they made different noises. Wind whistled throug the holes. Anyhow. Always enjoy your videos. Pretty sure you have a full set of encyclopedias in your backpack. Very well educated and informed.
Greetings from Upstate New York. .
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. See there…with every video posted, I learn something new. I had never heard of Apostle spoons. Amazing. Blessings, from this old man in Tennessee.
I Googled the heck out of the spoon you found and it appears it was one of a set of six that were all the same. Doesn’t specify which apostle it is but he is holding a book and it has EPNS on back. Possibly from 1960’s. 🤷🏻♀️
I enjoy very much watching you find all of these treasures from way across the blue Pacific Ocean in beautiful Hawaii. Your Scottish accent is just beautiful to listen too. Always exciting to watch your finds!
In my opinion, the soft brush used carefully is 1000x better than the bendy thumb. Especially with coins.
I'm a relatively new follower and thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
I slept in a tent in sub freezing temps in October. Never again. I got that merit badge 47 years ago and I'm done renewing it every year. LOL. About that little toothed fragment---Search, "Rack and key downspout hangers." I'm not sure if that's what it is, but it resembles the rack. Thanks.
24 K subs, in such a short time..! A testament to your efforts & quality of your uploads. Props again.! Bless up bro 👊
Detectival was certainly fun. Got stuck in the mud for the first hour in the rain and was towed out to camp site. And towed out again on Monday. The Detectival organisers were on the ball. 👍🏻
Great venue! And dry detecting days thank goodness! The spoon is Nickel Silver(Cupro-Nickel I think) Electro Plated Nickel Silver. 👍🏻
Glad to see you are feeling better!
Thabks Ellen. A bit of fresh air always helps!
@@thescottishdetectoristi only learned this year that the bits found around the blacksmith's forge are called smithereens. love your channel, by the way
Great to see you back in perthshire and congratulations with 24k subs,shows that you are very good and very much worth subscribing to
Good to see you back on your fields again. Your finds look great in the light box, really shows up the detail.
Congratulations on the 24k subscribers. Hoping you get back to feeling 100% soon. Suggestion: have you tried coating your great shovel with a spray of cooking oil, silicone, or WD40? A quick wipe-down helps the soil (or snow as here in Minnesota USA) slide off easily. Wishing you the greatest of luck detecting.
I've seen a similar coin before and apparently used by metal workers to test punches and die
The Americans joined the second World War in 1941 I think after pearl harbour. The Queen was married in 1947, I know that because it was the same year as my mum and dad, I think they must have been on holiday when the found out about the Kings death in 1952. Thanks for another interesting video xxx
You are correct on the 1941...12/7/41 after we were attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. My understanding was that Elizabeth was on a royal tour that her father was supposed to go on but couldn't because he was ill. But I am not as versed in British history as I am in US history since I am an American. But I do find the British history fascinating mostly due to how long it has been a country. History here doesn't go back far enough to have the really interesting events!
I’m going to say in one month I’m going to be south of Dublin and will have had several pints of Guinness and several shots of Jameson, and a couple opportunities to detect, but….
I would prefer a week of detecting and conversation with you. You are an absolute hoot! Hope you’re out of the woods with the Detectival flu bug!
Re. the Apostle spoon. I think EPNS would only have been marked as such from about the mid 19th century. The electroplating process was patented in 1840. I can't find any images of an apostle with a book, so I wonder if it is a bag of money, which would make it Judas Iscariot.
I love the way you say aluminum! I live in USA, Tennessee, near Alcoa Aluminum Co. who made soft drink cans. Really enjoy watching! Thank You!
I live in Sevierville. There is lots of aluminum here as well! Lol. Tourist I think.
I'm in Maryville. My mom grew up in Gatlinburg. She was an Ogle.
My maternal grandmother grew up in London. I remember her having a set of Apostle spoons . There were 12 in all and she was brought up Anglican. When our grand mother passed my oldest sister and I were given 6 spoons each. I didn’t want to see the set broken up and gave my six to my sister.
Thanks for your videos! 🇨🇦
Hello my friend … I discovered your channel recently and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed binge watching your vids … I’m very impressed with your finds ..you’ve done very well my Scottish friend ..
Loved your detectorvall vids .. you come across has very friendly and helpful even to us English folk .. I’m not being funny but it’s common knowledge that some Scots have a bad attitude towards the English …but you my friend are very honourable and treat everyone with due respect … for that I respect you immensely …thank you ..
Find your voice so calming ..and find your content very entertaining …and particularly enjoy the history lessons connected to your finds …🤙🏻look forward to seeing many many more thrilling and inspiring future content …
Respect ✊🏻
Much appreciated Chris. Glad you’re enjoying the back catalogue and hopefully many more great finds to come in the coming months and years! See you on the next 😆
@@thescottishdetectorist I look forward with baited breath … thank you
yay
Hope you enjoy
The circles of leather with the brass/copper stud/rivet are sections/links of leather drive belts off agricultural machinery ie. threshing mill or similar. The spoon; I remember eating my boiled egg with an identical one as a bairn.
You're almost right about heraldic Dexter... It is referring to the direction. Dexter is right, sinister is left
Your Apostle Spoon is St Paul - carrying a book in one hand, and a sword in the other. The sword is quite faint, but you can see it.
Much appreciated JM thanks for that great info!!
Annnnd… he’s back!! ❤
Woohooo 🥳 can’t keep a good man down, well unless you’re a virus 🦠 in which case 5-7 days and I’m back to my best! Well, 50% of my best. 😆
I’m pleased you’re getting better!! Hopefully you’ll be 100% in a few days!
I’ve heard that you’ve got some lovely weather up in Scotland for a good few days 🌤️☀️
@@emilyjayne77 yes fingers crossed some lovely weather ☀️ which will certainly help me recover!! No better medicine that Scottish sunshine 🌞
Thank you, great day. Cheers.
LOVE YOUR VERY INFORMATIVE HUNTS, KEEP UP THE ENJOYABLE PRESENTATIONS.
Why are you SHOUTING?
@@buzzandjim4265 TOUCHY TOUCHY, MR WOKE
Nice finds there John. You were correct in saying that Elizabeth II was on her honeymoon when she got the news that her father had died, and she was honeymooning in Kenya at 'Tree Tops' a famous tree house wildlife viewing platform. Jim Corbett of India fame and his sister Maggie were caretakers and guides there at the time. Jim Corbett gives a first hans account of the incident in one of his books.
Elizabeth wasn't on her honeymoon she got married 5 years before then. They were on a royal tour. She went instead of her father as he was ill at the time.
@@thomas1971f 😅My bad old memory, I should have consulted the book before writing this. I have the Corbett collection and find it fascinating reading. His first hand account of their stay is wroth reading.
Back on the home fields with some interesting finds! 🎉 Great to have you back and recovered from Simon, I mean your “virus” 😂😜🕺
Nice find. I have 6 of those spoons. I didnt know what they were. Thanks from Canada
Glad to see you up and about. Re cold, wet camping …. Getting wet is always just a matter of time. So the game is how to keep warm wet. Wear as much 100% wool as you can. Wool is warm and can insulate and keep skin dry when the wool is as much as 30% soaked. So this is socks, hats, gloves, undergarments, over garments like sweaters and vests. Wrap yourself up in Scottish wool! 😁😁😁 … if you want to level up, get a skjoldenhamn hood of wool - make it reversible (two layers). 💕🇨🇦😁👍😎
My Mother was a virologist for many many years. Basically she studied and worked with viruses. Apparently getting cold and wet is in no way the reason why we get cold and flus. Unless your immune system is compromised, which being cold/wet doesn't compromise that system, the only way to get a virus such as a cold or flu is to come in contact with it and then touch a mucus membrane like your nose or eyes or if it is airborne you come into contact from being around the person expelling the virus. Getting colds or flus from the cold/wet is an old wives tale back from when they didn't understand what viruses were or how we caught them. Because they are normally associated with colder weather that is why it was thought to be from getting cold and/or wet. Just a bit of info from someone in the know.
Welcome back! Brush, bendy thumb, a dip in water, with your years of experience and respect for relics... go for it.
100 % agree with Molly. That brush looks to be very soft and barely even works to clean your finds . Besides, they are YOUR finds! Do as you want!
Beautiful finds
Great job my friend
A few hammered coins and a few hammered people too I’m guessing 😊 great job mate, love your channel, from Highland Perthshire 👌
Nice to see You back on your fields doing what you love doing and me watching you take care 👍🇨🇦
Watching with interest from the South Island of New Zealand ...
Hope you enjoy Jo-Anne thanks
Another great video as always John nice to see you back in Perthshire smashing the coins out thanks for sharing 👍
Very nice, first time I'm seeing the light-box! Great addition.
Many thanks Scott, yes helps with the clean up and a better filmed and lit view at home afterwards because in the field you often can’t get the light! Glad you enjoyed
i had never heard of an apostle spoon - until today :) thank you! from canada
Loving your video's,the coin with the holes in it ,possibly for target practice? The big hole is where they nailed it to a pole and the others are tips of spears ,just a guess.
Dexter is right, sinister is left. My granny was made to write right handed as her natural left-handedness was considered sinister.
Dexter as in dexterous
Still used today, most often seen on eye prescriptions O.D. And O.S., for Right eye and Left eye.
You had a great 👍 day. Glad you are feeling better
"Alien Burger" 🤣 was the very limited run of special bikes which followed the "Raleigh Burner"....classic John, love it!
Great having you back on. Stay well and make sure to tell the folks on Oak Island you found a coin with a map for them. Lol
Me again. What about your other youtube chanel, the history of Scotland. I watched the first episode and it was beautyful. Looking forward to the second one.❤
I believe holes were punched into coins, when the value of the coin was higher, than something that was being purchased with said coin. I asked the same question when I received, many very old coins after my grandmother passed.
I like the spoon 👏
nice to see you back home.
Great to be back home Roy!!
Glad youre back from your quest!
Congratulations on the 23,000 subscribers! Glad you're feeling better. As always great to see your finds, thanks for sharing.
My parents were given a set of Apostle spoons for their wedding in 1946. They were married in the Church of Scotland at St. Bride's Church, Bothwell.
Fantastic coins!
Great to see you back digging in Perthshire . always enjoy watching. your finds. 🤠
Thanks for another great vid from the fields of Perthshire. Glad you've kicked of the virus , or whatever you had.
Another enjoyable video. I once found one of those apostle spoons in a junk shop but didn't know what it was at the time. Maybe that coin with holes was nailed to something? Interesting finds!
That first thing is the map coin like what they used in The Goonies!
Hi John. That roud thing with the copper stud in the midle could be a sink stopper to keep the water running out....just thinking...
I’m thinking poor man’s love token on the copper at the start
Very cool find
Your permissions have every relic hunter /coin shooter green with envy! I don't blame you for keeping it secret... Nice finds on this trip! 👍
I've been watching your videos you are so great 😊 who could ever advise you on how to clean a button when you are so brilliant at what you know at what you do ..keep going ..you are great 😊
Musket balls are a great find, I'd like to find one I know that!!! Thanks for telling us about the spoon. I have seen these in my nan's cutlery drawer so many years ago now and so now I know what they are!!! Great to have you up and well again my friend.👍👍😉
Glad your feeling better champ!
Much appreciated Mark
Yesssss!!!!
Enjoy Tony
good to see you back John a nice find of coppers, thanks again for the video
Church of England family. I have a set of six EPNS Apostle spoons from new from the nineteen sixties. All slightly different to show who was who.
I always thought you were saying "welcome back to the fields of pasture" Until I seen it in a title, and figured out you were saying Perthshire! SORRY 😅 my bad.
Great days detecting. I have a collection of apostle spoons from my fathers family… Catholic.
Love the george coins.
I don't mind digging copper or bronze scrap because it all adds up to money when turned in, but like you I don't like finding parts of cans or pull tabs.
Glad you’re feeling better, my Mum got a set of apostle spoons as a wedding gift in 1946.. they were C of E so I think they must have been multi denomination.. the pierced coin is a fabulous mystery with the different shaped and placed holes.
Happy you're better! Thinking maybe set up a camper van so you can stay warm over there. Bed, shower, heater. Lol. You guys did awesome at the detecting event!! Thank you for sharing all your group found.
Enjoyed the video. Good to see you back at it.
haha john you made me laugh nice video happy monday
I would bet it was used as a love token! thank you for sharing!💗
Smashing video John, glad your better mate. 👍🏻
I couldn’t see it completely,but that agriculture rake you found could possibly be part of a double wire rope clamp, plenty of those found on a farm,
Glad to see you back out in the fields. Len
Nice!
looking well again. thats cold wet tents in cold wet England for you bud. great content as expected
Very likely holes are either for navigating using stars or mapping location of treasure siting landmarks.
Coin with holes maybe used for precise spike practice, though the holes are probably too fine. Maybe smith product somehow.
Good day out, interesting social history, plus I have a picture of farm workers/ramblers cooling their feet in the stream and throwing empty alumunium drink cans over their shoulders! Guess you must have a carrier bag of their rubbish to dispose of. Glad you have recovered and are feeling much better, take care and have a good week.
Looks like a treasure map
It does doesn’t it 😂
Sounds like the Luftwaffe is circling overhead.
Glad to see you feeling better pal,and back digging
The holes in the coin allowed for water drainage and thats why it is in such good shape otherwise
Do you ever check out local/city state county maps from the teens and 20's there priceless for old roads/ canals lumps and bumps.
Glad your feeling better
Great video as usual. Cheers.
