Let’s go easy on Simon. I sense he responds & appreciates positive comments more so than jabs. Just an observation from afar. Love your channel….and Simons channel also. I watch both.
Samuel Morse, a New York University professor of painting and sculpture, began working on his version of the telegraph in 1832. Morse was inspired to develop the telegraph after hearing about the discovery of the electromagnet while sailing home from Europe. He spent several years developing a prototype with the help of his partners, Leonard Gale and Alfred Vail. In 1837, Morse received a patent for his electromagnetic telegraph, which used a portarule with built-in dots and dashes. In 1838, Morse presented his invention to Congress, demonstrating how dots and dashes represented letters and numbers using Morse code.
Grape shot from a cannon? Great video as usual. I am spending my time hunting for mushrooms today. Shot a very nice turkey a few days ago. Also been digging bottles and arrowheads.
Thanks for superimposing the image of coins that haven’t been ravaged by time in the dirt! it really helps us visualize the finds. Giving us a bit of history as context makes it even more fun. Good editing!
Your thought was right: "These intriguing coins were struck in the latter years of the Napoleonic Wars as the conflict led to financial instability in Britain and the mass hoarding of gold and silver coins. The Royal Mint could not keep up with demand for replacement currency and - as a temporary measure - began issuing tokens. First, in the form of countermarked Spanish coinage and later as these fascinating Bank Tokens which circulated as legal tender coinage."
John you had one of your better days as of late. That George III Bank Token is a nice piece and has a bit of value. Congratulations on a good day in the field.
You got me excited with that hand cannon shot! I have used a handmade one as part of a medieval restoration group! We used to call them stick cannons, as they were stuck on the end of what felt like a long broomstick. You would place the end of the long stick against the ground when firing, affording no kickback (since the ground absorbed the shock). They certainly didn't have great aim, but made an impression with a big bang and whoosh sound!
Your Chanel is amazing mate! I’m from Sweden and i just received my X Terra Pro a couple of days ago and yesterday I found my first silver coin 😊. It’s really nice and addictive hobby. A few years ago I went to Scotland and traveled around the country with car for a week and if I compare that trip with all other vacations I’ve done Scotland is at the top when it comes to hospitality and helpfulness. The people were really nice and kind. I literally thought that if people were like the Scott’s it would be world peace! Thanks for awesome uploads!
Hi John , what you thought could have been a cap badge I believe is part of a flattened oil lamp wick burner, that holds the glass chimney, likely Victorian
What a day you certainly did have 🤩🤩🤩 amazing variety of finds and did people feed the birds with their coins in that field?! That bank token is a really beautiful and lucky find - worth a nice little amount but I guess as most detectorists do, you’ll keep it, I know I would 😍. Simon needs to get himself a Deus 2! Well done John and well done good old Deus 👏 Great to see you with Simon again. Enjoyed the light box and to see how the silver stands out.
Love your videos the ball projectile could be 1565 - 1665 musket ball from a rife hard to tell on video beautiful coins not find anything myself never get board of watching your videos love the history class learnt a look good man ❤ 👍💯
Great finds John especially the George 3rd bank token … if I’m not mistaken that is worth a few quid .. this is the beginning of a fantastic period of finds for you John has I’ve predicted for you … well done keep them coming chap …
You had a fabulous day ! Love the George 3 token , here in Canada there was a severe shortage of small change in the 1820 's so bank tokens and merchant tokens were issued to fill the gap ( counterfeit tokens a.k.a. blacksmith tokens also produced ) . I have been fortunate to have found these but am still waiting for a silver one 😉 Well done John 👍
We are getting too much rain down this end of the country to get out with the detector. (Oxfordshire). Luckily we have your videos to watch. Thanks. Good viewing again.
Absolutely magnificent! Right now I am so jealous! Thats like finding a 1880 silver dollar with the mint mark CC in the US. I am singing the song...dream..dream dream dream...🎶
An amazing days dig John I cant believe the amount of coins you found along with the excellent 1/ 6d token and medallions. Very well done paI really enjoyed it, I'll now go and watch Simon's video of his side of the days event's 👍👍
Another great video john. Id love to see a video of how you go about cleaning your coins! I use a conposite pen for my coppers but i dont even touch the silvers as im too scared 😂
Thank you so much for sharing from western Canada! I have enjoyed your speech as my ancestors came from Burgage, Buxton, Derbyshire and someday I would love to visit there someday❣️
When you said that you had good quality vid this time, at the beginning, I thought you meant the picture quality, because, your picture was of the most outstanding clarity throughout this video. No fade-in's from fuzzy focus as per usual, as you and most other vids do. The clarity was great, the contrast was great, the colour, and it was a beautiful bright day, that brought out all the features as well. Spot on lads.
Unbelievable but not for you John!!! Congrats on a hell of a day!!! 👍👍👍 Tell Simon to try the beach 2 settings I sent him!!! He should do alot better? 🤔🤭
I have a couple of silver George III five pence bank tokens, both marked as Irish. I assumed the tokens were only issued in Ireland until I saw your video, so there's been a lot of learning for me in the last hour, very much helped by some of the comments here 👍
I so much enjoy your content. it's fantastic. pulling the heart strings on a 1912 coin, thought provoking about the Titanic then ooops I dropped it ooh back to earth litterly. Thank you so much for all you do ❤
Great Video. Just Subscribed & catching up. But I have Never Known a Scot who Doesn't love a Little Banter, maybe even more so with us English..! But Always in the Very Best of Humour & Always great Fun..! 😂 Love the Finds. Well Done. Cheers from Downunder. 🦘
Great days digging there John. I found a George III three shilling bank token 1811 a couple of years back. Unfortunately it had been nailed to a post and used for pistols target practice. The portrait was ruined but the reverse wasn't too bad.
Hi John the general service button is Victorian , as it has a queen Victoria crown on it , the over imposed one you showed has a kings crown likely ww2 era
Let’s go easy on Simon. I sense he responds & appreciates positive comments more so than jabs. Just an observation from afar. Love your channel….and Simons channel also. I watch both.
I felt a bit that way today. A bit jabbier than usual 🙄 Love you guys and the banter normally 😊

14:50 found an auction denoting it as a 1920's Sheffield Weekly Telegraph "Kind Hearted Brigade" Club Medal
Thanks John! I’ve been out of action for a bit, so time to enjoy your fascinating finds! Never a dull moment!
WHY IS NO ONE LIKING THIS???
You and Simon should swap machines for a day of detecting.. would be interesting. love the videos John.
Grape shot from a cannon? Great video as usual. I am spending my time hunting for mushrooms today. Shot a very nice turkey a few days ago. Also been digging bottles and arrowheads.
Simon is back! Awesome! Great to see the tag team back at it! Fantastic day! Thank you for taking us along with you!
rock and roll !!!
Always great to see the two Amigos out together...❤❤
My guilty pleasure 😁
Hi Jhon. 55.12 . You almost say it perfectly . Great job . Honi soit qui mal y pense
Silver bank tokens were issued due to a coin shortage during Napoeonic wars. Nice find and pretty valuable.
I felt like I needed a lie down watching this fabulous day of detecting. Wonderful.
Thanks for superimposing the image of coins that haven’t been ravaged by time in the dirt! it really helps us visualize the finds. Giving us a bit of history as context makes it even more fun. Good editing!
Love the patina of the 3pence John, wat a great day out...
1811 King George III 1 Shilling & Sixpence Silver Bank Token (Eighteenpence), value 330 euro
Thanks Rob! Hope you enjoyed. I didn’t know such a thing existed until I found it!! Amazing and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
And it is in good condition compared to some I have seen on line. Saw one not nearly as nice for 270 Pounds!

@@HLBear I wonder if those inspired the "US Pattern Coins" that came out in the mid 1800's Those are beautiful coins and rare.
I thought maybe grape shot?
Simon is such an eternally cheerful fellow, always nice to see him.
So exciting! I've, literally, been on the edge of my seat for the last hour. Well done!
Great hunt! The George lll bank token was awesome.
Many thanks. Glad you liked. Very rare and very unusual and ANOTHER one for the museum!! 😜
John you had one of your better days as of late. That George III Bank Token is a nice piece and has a bit of value. Congratulations on a good day in the field.
greaaat!!!

Astounding day! Glad you got a "token of our appreciation"! Cheers from New Orleans
Wow!! Simon brought you luck today!! The bank token was my favorite!!🥰🥰🥰

What a incredible day I went metal detecting today and found a William 3 penny👍👍👍
Well done my friend,I haven't been out this year yet I can't wait for the weather to get better, hopefully.

Great days digging there John.
I found a George III three shilling bank token 1811 a couple of years back. Unfortunately it had been nailed to a post and used for pistols target practice. The portrait was ruined but the reverse wasn't too bad.
Great lot of finds John Bank token was really nice well found
Congratulations on ur awesome finds today 😊
I see you shaved, John! Lookin' good lad, and it's always good to have Simon with you!
Hi John the general service button is Victorian , as it has a queen Victoria crown on it , the over imposed one you showed has a kings crown likely ww2 era
Fantastic finds well done and thanks for sharing 🎉
They apparently fling coins randomly about in Scotland, all through the ages
Aye and they say the Scots are mean😂
Good going John . It is not the size of Your coil ,but, how You swing it.
Thanks for your video really enjoyed it. Great to see Simon back too!
You got that right 1shilling and six pence
