    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.

    • @HLBear
      @HLBear 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      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."

    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!

    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.
