John, you made me laugh out loud when you called yourself a "jammy swine", that is a real beauty! What a wonderful treasure to find. That makes up for having to deal with that rough walking plowed field. I also loved the coins you found. Well done John!!
What the heck is a jammie swine?
@@c.w.3750lucky
Yes definitely “Jammy Swine” love watching your adventures.

That's what we say in Wales also Jammy swine
Fantastic finds!
Glad you enjoyed Julie
Looks like the end of a pocket watch chain , very nice
Enjoyed the video. The mountains look similar to the ones where I live in East Tennessee, USA.
That bit at the 20:00 mark looks very much like an electrical lug. Wire goes in the round end, crimped and it gets attached via screw to something.
Great day treasure hunting, John! The red stones found in your area are called Pyrope Garnets and Garnets. The stone on the wax stamp could be one of those.
I agree: many fob seals have carnelian intaglia, but that stone is too pink, it does look exactly like garnet. What a beautiful find.
There is also the lost field of agates (chalcedony family i think), i think possibly with ww1 & 2 it just fell out of importance, maybe the people that know keep it quiet. Like you say there are Garnets up that way, Ruby bay on the east coast.
Carnelian tends to be more red-orange. I agree with the garnet guesses. Beautiful!
19:40 An electric wire crimp terminal. Was there an electric fence nearby? The gold pendant- the weight end for a pocket watch in a stylised version of the owners lady love, in a hooped dress, to keep her (metaphorically) close to his heart. As the model has no actual head, the face could well be of she who presented the piece. I wear pocket watches now so am learning some of the history and symbology.
The pendant stone has a Greek vibe about it…what a great find!!!
PS: Your Gold Pendant thingy, what a Beauty! Congratulations 👍👍👍🤗
Many thanks OB! See you on the next!!
We come for the Scott’s axecent and stay for the views cheers for the content boyo 🏴 watching
That piece of jewelry is so unique. What a stunning find!
An Edward VIII penny was minted for Fiji. This coin has a hole in the middle so there was no profile of the king just his name.
What a great day - thanks for taking me along 😊
the little pen knife is covered in an early plastic called "french ivory", meant to look like real ivory.
Funny. I was at :30 into the video and exclaimed (silently) .. HE HAS HAIR!! Then you said .. that .. :)
What an interesting and varied metal detecting adventure. The the gold fob intaglio is absolutely stunning. Good job!
You found an intaglio pendant! Beautiful. Could be Georgian or Victorian. Well done. 👏🏻 The marks on the case (cc) is probably a maker’s mark and the crown seems to indicate that it is silver.
@Dalriada Skillen - The cig case looks tarnished in a silvery way so I think you may be right
Great video again mate and lovely bit of gold mate 👍
Amen!! And the XP DEUS II certainly loves finding the gold that’s for sure!!
@@thescottishdetectorist it certainly does mate that’s what I use love it might see you at detectival 👍
Please make sure to press it in wax and show us the figure!🗣
I started watching your videos 4 months ago, I liked them so I went back to your first video and watched them in order. I've just caught up. Great channel. I'm in New Zealand so I don't get to find old stuff as our country is too young.
Same in western canada
What a beauty wonderful treasure to find.
Well done John, that's a beautiful 😍
Many thanks. I’ve had a few fob seals 🦭 over the years but this is my first that still had the stone in it 🤩
As we say in Australia, you little ripper!!! ❤😊😊
maybe the depiction of Minerva on your gold seal die? for the stone... maybe a garnet? wonderful find
Many thanks. It’s really beautiful 🤩 many thanks, helmeted Minerva is a definite possibility!!
Another amazing find! Well done!
What a great day for you John. You are definitely my favorite Scottish detector. I’d enjoy having you and my favorite USA guys together. Now…about those voices…it’s us enjoying your finds!😂😂😂
well saved John,great great find wonderful piece of history .Cant wait till the next video
Beautiful find! Congratulations!
So much history to be discovered across the pond! Bravo!!
Amazing find again, it is stunning John. Keep up the good work, that roman silver hoard is beckoning. Good luck and congrats again.
What a lovely gold seal matrix fantastic find mate well done John 💪💪🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing your days of 'Who Knows What...' with us. Love from Blairgowrie :) lol
So cool!! I wonder if the intaglio could be the head of Hermes? He was the gods’ messenger and was connected with speed and travelers, so it would make sense to have his likeness on a sealed envelope that was meant to travel speedily to its destination, right?
You said it looked Roman, but the Victorians were pretty big on the Hellenistic aesthetic. I believe the period between 1830-1860 is actually called the Victorian Greek Revival, so it could fit! I think I may even see wings on the helmet 🧐
What a gorgeous find - love your videos!
Many thanks for that great info! I’ll go and have a look!
Fantastic finds! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!
Another good day beautiful gold find and your 22.6 k well done. 👍
Love watching your video so relaxing.
Stunning that is John😊 shows to keep digging up trash you’ll eventually land on the treasure! Well saved buddy
At 3:24 on the electrical fitting, on the right hand end at the top, there is a faint, pale circular shape. Sometimes the contact point of a switch, for industrial electrical fittings, is a small circle of silver. There is one piece on either side of the switch, because of the greater electrical conduction of silver. VERY rarely, it is platinum or even a platinum and iridium alloy.
What an incredible find... and funny that the mudlarkers 'kit and caboodle' found an intagglio (if that's what they're called?) on the video they put out today, they were talking about the history of them, there was some good information on them if you want to check it out. They said those are for wax seals ( the one they found was for ink (the design raised) made of bloodstone. Another great day, so pleased for you, well found !
They also found a possible silver cigarette case.
Absolutely stunning find!
You're such a lucky guy!!! 👍 Maybe I should ask you to fill out a lottery ticket for me. 😂
Hmm, the red stone in the cute gold charm/pendant... Probably wouldn't be bloodstone (also called Heliotrope), as that's green with just some red speckles. Carnelian is possible, but most often looks more like an orange-y/brownish red (at least the ones I have in my mineral collection do). I'd tend to think it could be garnet. Ruby is red, too, but in that color intensity probably too expensive. Garnet, however, was very often used in jewelry in the era you mentioned the pendant could be from. The mudlarkers also often find it in the Thames down in London. And the shade of red would fit as well. I have some tiny garnet pieces and they have that color. Whatever it is, it's a very beautiful find once again! 🤩
You did it again Ye Jammy Swine. Great hunt
Fantastic gold charm 🎉 and you need a lie down 🛏️😂 let the count down begin for Detectival 🏕️
A new sub, and you are 0issing me off. I have a couple cocktails, start thinking about heading to bed, and we have a new video. Then I pour another, and watch some crazy cat digging in fields in the hills of Perthshire, hoping he finds something cool. It's madness. Cheers.
Haha 😂 sorry for encouraging you to drink more but I am Scottish and it’s our favourite pastime!
Best wishes
John
Wow! To find such a beauty in the muddy dirt. Oh my, oh my Great find!
Claggy field it may have been, and hard sloggin', but that signet/seal with a Greek warrior, I thought, maybe Achilles, was a stunning find! It's very gratifying to watch your content, mate, almost as if I found these treasures myself! Excellent day of detecting! 🐗😍
Beautiful piece of jewelry John. I enjoyed the video. See you fellas on the next bro.
Front cover of the Searcher mag! Love it mate❤❤
Oooh…. Are we?!? Wow that would be amazing. Still waiting on the copy arriving
@@thescottishdetectorist yep! Titled BULLSEYE 🎯
Wow 🤩 can’t wait to see it! That’ll be amazing
Wow! That intaglio fob is beautiful! No wonder you were so excited! Gorgeous find! Well done!. The rectangular piece of lead you found next after this find seemed to have a T on it, but I may be mistaken.
I would be very interested in finding out when that little gold dress with the intaglio stone is from. It looks much newer to me but maybe jewelers were that good back then! You work very hard to bring us all this history, you deserve all those subscribers .
have a look at what the Anglo Saxons did with gold etc 1200 or so years back
John, Get some of that sealing wax and make an impression. Fabulous finds sir. Best wishes to your family.
This will be tonight's viewing sorted once everyone goes to bed John. Almost an hour this video. Can't wait m8 🤜🤛
Great catch on all and congrats on the relic gold!
What a find! Stunning detail on it too. Well done 🙂
Congrats, John! Well done on your subscriber numbers and the lovely little gold seal stamp. Nothing sniffs out the tiny treasure like the XP Deus 2, and a good detectorist of course.
Thanks Ravendale.
I had an XP Goldmaxx power v4 previously for two years and now the XP DEUS II for a year and I have to say they are fantastic detectors. Really amazing especially at the small targets, they love gold too and are just fantastic detectors!
Best wishes and see you on the next!
Mate I'm so happy on the success you're having long may it last and good luck on future digs 👍
Hey John, you're a handsome devil without the beany on!!! 😂😂👍😉The lead thing with "Pull To Open" may be a very late form of bag seal. as there is a slot running through it, apparently. A similar one was found in Colchester. Nice sixpence. I have an Onyx ring with that 'Roma' design on it, but that is only some 30 years old. Nice find my friend, lovely colour.👍👍😉
Beautiful find, John! Congrats on the 22,600 subscribers!
Wonderful finds and that intaglio is fantastic!
Congratulations John! That was lovely 😍😍😍
Woo hoo !!! That's awesome 👍
I am always amazed by all the finds and how in hell they got in the middle of a farmers field or middle of nowhere, obviously i know historically, but its still amazing lol
Couldn’t agree more Don. Honestly some really bizarre finds turn up in the middle of nowhere. I suspect many items end up being discarded into rubbish in the 1700/1800/1900’s which was then spread on fields and then a mixture of farm worker losses and then casual losses whilst walking, hunting, horse riding and so on.
Amazing !
@@thescottishdetectorist Oh--with all the condemnation of a good time out of wedlock--I figure there were many a good passionate romp in a cornfield, or other place out of sight and earshot.... Perfectly logical places to find old jewelry!
Congratulations John - a great find!
A true beauty would like to have the story of that piece, congrats my friend 🍻
That curious thing that is made of led looked like an OX 🐂 KNOB maybe 🤔
I am so glad that you walked over in the muck and ended up with a great gold find, it's a beauty for sure.
John you dog you, my god you found a wonderful gem
Great job thank you for sharig this with us
What a fun find to take to Detectiville. Show and tell time for sure😊
Take a picture only. Why take the risk of losing it, or worry about losing it all the time there.
You are the G.O.A.T. Greatest of all time you jammy git.love it 🎉
Oh man you're like a young Henry Kelly going for GOLD .Top job son
Argh!!!! That's beautiful maybe even Roman try using it to seal a letter with some wax to see what the imprint looks like be great to see that lad.All the best just love watching you on a Sunday morning from my bed as over did it yesterday working on my vehicles and the garden then cooked an awesome curry my back is Paggerd.
Fabulous find! 9k gold started being produced in the UK in 1854, so I believe this beautiful fob would have been made after that date. By the way, you made me laugh out loud with 'Is it Excalibur?' 😆 And just a thought... it may be worth your while to get some acids for testing silver and gold, they're not very expensive and I find them easy to use. That way you would know for sure about the (possible) cigarette case.
I would say that that gold fob is a Roman seal. What a BEAUTIFUL find. Truly amazing relic. Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. WOOHOO! I think that’s one of your most awesome finds.
It might be a recycled Roman seal added to a Georgian fob!
Beautiful gold charm😍 My hubby had just called you a jammy swine just before you said it 😂 You are so lucky and what great day for you 👋👋
You're absolutely right, you are a jammy swine! That fob seal is GORGEOUS!!!
You done it again. Congratulations sir. I hope to know that filing soon GOOOOOLD 💪
Nice! Beautiful piece of gold.
great episode, thanks
In my opinion, that pocket knife is 1934-1944.
I seriously thought for a second you had unearthed a gold Dalek there! I'm currently running through your videos from the start and I'm now thinking about taking this up as a hobby! Keep up the good work. It's fascinating stuff. Best Regards. Drew.
Fantastic finds, that case I would imagine was a card/cigarette case, the crown could be Sheffield and maker possibly Colin Hewer ?
The gold...well what an absolute belter well done !
Brilliant work John! Yet again. Greek goddess Athena bust with the spear below by the look of it although you might be right - possibly Minerva/Roma. 100% a fob seal. Beautifully made and looks like it has a bit of weight too so very valuable.
The sterling silver case has multiple hallmarks. CC of course, then three below it - the lion passant on the left (can't resolve if facing left), possibly the pre-1820 London crowned leopard mark, and another on right presumably date. Top right might be another crown and I can vaguely see scratched letters/numbers too near the hinge. On the outside of the case is definitely some kind of engraving in the middle. Needs a microscope I think to resolve any more. Awesome!
Without a hat, you look like George Clooney! Good job!!!!!
The case is definitely silver imo- the grey chasing is a dead giveaway. As it's damaged, a bit of tinfoil misted with water held to it will generate vigorous bubbles of hydrogen sulphide and the smell of bad eggs. I'd be curious to see an impression of the intaglio in putty or blu tac. Incidentally, I wouldn't rule out Apollo as the image on the intaglio. I think he was associated with poetry and prophecy and seems to feature in impression pieces for letter writing going back centuries. Nice one John...you are indeed a lucky swine! :D
Amazing find " Good luck John ..
KEEP GOING "
That's a beauty of a wax matrix 🤩 excellent find. Congratulations in your steady and rapid channel growth. 🎉🎊
Oh my gosh. That little lady is beautiful!!! Do you get to keep what you find? You did good today John!!! I need to make a trip to Scotland and bring my metal detector. We don't find that kind of beauty on the West coast of the states!!! Good job. I started screaming when you found it lol. 😂
I love how excited you get when you find a precious treasure, probably because I get just as excited! 🤣 We get to live vicariously thru your channel. Especially when it is a precious item that hints at life experiences. Coins are excellent, but I really love the unique things you find. The peacock is awesome, but then I am somewhat obsessed with them. Now that little charm you found is so stunning!!
Two bendy thumbs up!!
Stunning Gold John 🤩Great Video again 👏,The best of luck at detectival💯
Cool find man. Can you guys metal detect along Hadrians wall?
Great video buddy cracking finds you should of got your jeweler to check if the cigarette case was silver 🤔👍
Definitely gold.. nothing beats the color of old gold! Loved the video - Regards from Denmark
Well done mate. What a beautiful find. Looks like a little 18th century lady. Quite unique. Congratulations.!! Bless up 👊
Like you said what a day, Congratulations
Congrats on the awesome find, it’s a beautiful piece 🎉
I am in and looking forward to your great finds.
it is 5 years since the new quid coin came out, seems longer though, as for the knife, 20th century for sure with the bakalite, could get the blades replaced and it restored, 20.00 is an electrical connector, the intaglia pendant looks great, awesome find
It's hard to believe that the fob didn't get ruined by the plow! Great find!!
I thought the same thing. Not a scratch.
@@JW-kh9bm Probably because it was 9kt. not 18 or 24, which is much softer and probably would have been smashed.
I found 17 lead tokens over weekend same design like you detected from a old market site , a cauldron bronze leg ,going back tommorrow .
Fantastic!! Sounds like an amazing site! Well done and happy hunting
