Metal detecting an old DROVERS ROAD in Perthshire, Scotland 🏴 XP DEUS 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Another day another field, and this time joined by Martyn.
This is a previously undetected field and the farmer tells me there’s an old drovers road which runs across it. A drove road was the route ‘cowboys’ or what we call ‘drovers’ used to take whilst ‘driving’ their cattle to the market in town.
Fingers crossed the drovers had holey pockets!!

Who would have thought that 4 million people would want to watch a guy cursing at aluminum cans! Cheers
All together! "the drrreaded al-u-minium" I love it :-)
I am one of them. He has found so many Roman coins I might trade him a few old US coins for some of those...

😃😩🤔😂😅
Love both of your shows.
The pride you have of your country, the knowledge of your finds, and of course the excitement and humor are just great. I'll keep watching. Big fan here.
Goid luck, take care!
Thanks Maureen for the kind words and glad you enjoy!! Much appreciated!! 🤩
good to see Martyn out again John ,i like it when you get a button just to see the different design on them ,i also watch your visit. Scotland tours channel ,you would make a good history teacher for our school kids thanks again .
Thanks for the kind words James and I’m glad you enjoyed! I would have loved to have been a history teacher because it’s a topic most kids find boring and I’d have enjoyed making it more enjoyable for them!
🤔 Not surprised at amount of views!! Best Detcting Channel! Most knowledgeable and professional host!!! That you all day John!!! CONGRATS SIR AS YOU DESERVE ALL THE GLORY!!! CONGRATS AGAIN!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Breath taking competition. Well won.
They all can't be gold and silver but I come here for the Commentary as well so you never disappoint! I love your informative tour channel as well.👍
Thanks for the kind words and support Cate!
Och weell ! 😊 love your channel because your outlook is so encouraging and pleasant even when you're disappointed. The Scot's lingo is bonus ❤ Enjoyable whether the finds are mind blowing or mundane. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoyed
I’m always so happy to see your smiling face in Perthshire. 💜
I leave for ten days of holiday, and you post hours of new videos! BINGE WATCHING!! Amazing finds and videos as well!
Not a shameless plug your tour channels are wonderful and really show what a beautiful country Scotland is. I’m so glad I stumbled across them several years ago! Oh and this channel as well. I never knew what I was missing without gorgeous George 😂
Such a great and fun video!!!
Many thanks!! I appreciated
You teach us so much history to go with the thrill of detecting I really enjoy it ❤
some nice finds well done
Cheers my man. That was actually two weeks ago…. Drew two blanks since then but back on it 🫡 today!! Happy hunting
Another great hunt! Always looking forward to your videos. Congratulations on the views you deserve even more!
15+ years ago, I visited a very old place named the Drovers Inn. Located north of Loch Lomond. I had no idea until today, what a Drover was. Just another reason why you have 32K subscribers! I never miss a video!
The drovers is still there and still packed a lot of the time
The day I visited they had the fireplace going. I had an Oban 14. Someone then put peat on the fire. Due to this combination, all I could smell for about 3 days, was peat. Good memories indeed. @@iaincochrane8741
I’ve stayed there too!! Several times!! A very ‘quirky’ establishment and our friends daughter was conceived there too!! Small world 😂
the curiosities just inside the door are a definite highlight. I specifically remember seeing a stuffed maco shark on the wall. quirky indeed!@@thescottishdetectorist
Taikuu John, not a bad dig today for the both of you.. Hello Marten, good to see you out and about too.. On to the next..
👍 nice
Thanks, glad you liked
You are definitely my favorite detector got me back into hunting and my father since he's Scottish as well. Thank you sir
Good hunt I enjoyed the video 🇺🇸
Many thanks Fred
Wow COOL 😮 you deserve it. 😊❤
Much appreciated
It's always great to see you out with Martin or Sneaky Pete. This was a fun video to watch, and the weather looked great!
Many thanks James!! Some late Scottish sun!!
My Mom’s birth year on the farthing, made my day. Enjoyed the video, thanks.
Thanks Terry! A lonely wee coin and a great year!!
👍
WOOHOO…Way to go, my Scottish Detectorist friend. 4 million views…Whew…that’s a great job. It’s mostly your sense of humor and your educational perspective on things that keeps us coming back. Congratulations and Blessings.
Plus Ones should also bring the beer,
Amen 🙏 😂
👍👍👍👍👌
Thanks as ever Janis
That aluminum lid is a cap for the end of a tube of chassis lubricant-grease- used to lube the tractors and implements they are using in that field. To load a grease gun you remove the old cardboard tube cartridge and replace it with a new one full of grease. Most of them today have a pull tab aluminum cap on one end and a plastic cap on the other end, but years ago they often had an aluminum cap like the one you just dug up, before plastic got so dominant.
Ahh! That makes perfect sense! Thanks for the info! Much appreciated
That lovely five-nippled object is the excess lead from a gang mold for musket/pistol balls
What a great ID!! Much appreciated, makes perfect sense to me!! And an interesting find!!
So nice to see the friendly competition!! Always like the history behind the finds, and I have subscribed to your other channel. You are a man of many talents! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Kimberly and thanks for subscribing to my other channel. Much appreciated ❤️
I have been following you since last year and just love your channel. I love the history you give and even the junk shots you film.
Some days are bad but there is those magnificent days. Keep digging!
Just a bunch of fun watching you guys enjoy the greatest hobby in the world. It's never about the finds but always about the adventure. Thanks for sharing!!!
Many thanks. Always good to get out and even better if we find something good!!
Always a treat to watch the latest dig & post regardless of outcome. Joy cometh from the most mundane of sources, don't you think?
Thanks Judith. I appreciate your kind words and support!! ❤️
Great to see marty back out I'm the field with you John shame he couldn't out do you on the coin hunt 😂 another great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍
another milestone, grats man.
Finally got my Deus 2 thanks to you.
also, octagonal piece is def part of a gun barrel
I was thinking so too, but the casting is so uneven and the bore is square like the outside, I'm not sure it's a barrel. I wouldn't want to shoot it, at least! :)
@@mattj6676 older blunderbuss most likely.
Mate I'm so happy on all the success you are having and it's greatly deserved, if I eventually get half the knowledge you have, I'll be doing ok 👍
🍀👍
Hope you enjoyed
Congratulations on the 4 mil John!! Glad you made mention of your other channel, you should pin a link in the comments or in your description box! Just an idea!! Good to see you having a little lighthearted competition with Marty, maybe he should call his new channel 'Marty's Marvelous Finds'!! 😂 Great video! 😘 Chez
I LOVE your history lessons! Thank You for taking your time to share your knowledge.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and for leaving such a lovely comment
I saw some VisitScotland instagram videos, and I said, it sounds like the Scottish Detectorist. I was sure.
Haha 😂 thanks Vicki! Glad you found me!! Many thanks 😊
That piece looks like a long reach deep socket wrench. The handle comes out the side which is where it is broken.
Thanks for the info! I’ll google it!! Much appreciated
Leaving my comment in the thought below
Congratulations on the 4 million views. Still loving your channel and hoping you get to find the other bronze bucket mount!
32. 4 K subs & 4 million views.!! Good on you brother. I'm elated for you. Always an upload to look forward to. Bless 👊
The .303 bullet could date back to WWII as the .303 was standard army issue my grandfathers used in the war and my father shot with at competitions.
Many thanks! Yea probably a bit of age to it!
Hello from Finland. Nice finds you got there🙂
Many thanks 🇫🇮 🏴 I’d love to visit Finland one day…. It looks beautiful 🤩
Hi ho Johnny. Johnny with the Glaswegian accent.
I think I was one of the first subs on your visit Scotland channel.
You sound just like Billy Connolly 😆.
Hello Mr. Scottish Detectorist,
I never comment on any ones videos, but, I’m making an exception. Thanks to my son and his amazing detecting skills and love of history I’m now an avid detectorist of 2 years, here in Upstate New York, USA. I have throughly enjoyed your commentary on all your videos and your love of history as well. Thanks to YOU I have learned a ton about the coins and other relics you have found. Now, with all that said…the reason I’m writing you is because I did get a Garrett Ace 250 for Christmas in 2008, from my late husband, Dave because I really wanted to start detecting. Well I found a few things, mostly trash and gave up. Sooo, since that time I came to NY at the invitation from my son in my starting over. ANYWAYS LOL I got into the hobby-I’m an addict now-there’s no cure-thank God! LOL One of my finds back in 2009 was a silver coin. I decided to try some new cleaning methods and felt I could practice on this one large silver I had. I didn’t realize until I was rinsing the coin (shock-horror) I was able to identify it-completely-THANKS TO YOU! I wanted to let you know I smiled sooo big at my absolutely beautiful coin!!I was able to read the front of my find!! A Gorgeous George the 6th!!! The date is 1947. I really appreciate all your videos and the amount of dedication you have for all things old. You ROCK!
Teresa
Teresa, you’ve made my day and thanks for taking the time to write that message!! Comments like that make the tin cans all worth while!! Thanks and happy detecting!! ❤️
The piece in question looks like a blown up gun barrel
That's what I was going to say
Same
Surely gun barrels aren't tapered.
If that's a gun barrel, it would be a small cannon. Way to big, it would be like a 150 caliber ball. 😂
@@warmonger1389 I thought it might fit some mini balls I've seen.
Thank you again for a great video. Thoroughly enjoyable watching
A great film that really enjoyed watching thanks John👍🏻 I had a bit of lead like Mr Martin, a strip of lead with little nipples along it always wandered what it was
Great effort and a fantastic channel 👌🏻
Apparently the cast off for making pistol shot from lead it seems! Another nice find
26 minutes in. Lead item could be sprue for casting lead shot.
That was my thought used to see it in the days when we used lead shot weights for fishing.
Just watching your video now and the item full of mud, at first looked as though it might be a box spanner(broken where a bar would have gone through, for leverage) but they were made of iron or steel. So if it proves to be non ferrous unlikely, so maybe a spigot of some kind for a barrel. It would have needed a gate to stop flow so that would have fitted at the broken spot maybe. Congratulations on a Million Views. Quite a landmark, no pun intended.
Thanks Margaret! Much appreciated and thanks for the kind words
i would say the copper alloy hexagonal artifact is part of the handle to a copper saucepan after that it was wooden handle to hold it
Thanks for the video John. Enjoyed it as always.👍😉
Well done with wievs and subs✌.and finds 😁💕
In your next vid, be sure to mention your new channel again and include a link. It will take a couple times for people to remember or actually pic up on this wonderful piece of news. Well done!
Good job guys, I enjoyed the competition. If Martin needs suggestions for a channel name, how about Martin"s Metallic Mysteries, Metalhead Marty, or The Misadventures of Martin.
Thanks Mike! The misadventures of Marty has a great ring to it 😂
Our farmer lets us detect on planted fields until the seed sprouts 😊
You’re a lucky man!! I wish
@@thescottishdetectorist I'd still swap my permissions for yours 😉
I would appreciate knowing what gets discussed when negotiating a permission. I could imagine, with the exception of yourself, that the financial gain to the land owner is likely often negligible, if at all. Does wine or whisky pass hands perhaps?😉
Another great one, you really know your stuff!
The Wellcome medicine bottle lid dates from roughly 1910, could have had aspirin or similar in it. Giggled at the "rug" you have now - I think the technical term is a cloot 😂
Wellcome was started in 1888 and is now part of GlaxoSmithKline
Farthing!!
It’s a beauty ain’t it
It really is. What is amazing is that by being lost in the soil it has avoided all the wear and tear of daily use to remain in great condition. My first trip to Scotland was for 10 days this past January and I will be back. Everyone was very friendly to be sure.@@thescottishdetectorist
The lead nipple peace maybe the excess lead from pistol shot moulds
Why didn’t I realise that!! Makes perfect sense!!
Good to see Martyn again. I think nowdays it is Glaxo Wellcome. Looks like you have rain sifting through your area today. I wish I had your temps.
Nice coins, thanks John. I will be heading to your other channel soon.
Much appreciated Debbie. Have a great weekend
Well done John another enjoyable video, it was good to see Martin and congratulations on ya 4,000,000 views.
the lead artifact look like a sprue from a birdshot bullet mold just a guess
Wellcome Chemical Works, Dartford
Date: 1897-1973
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated
A bit of good indication of some great finds. To my mind bronze and lead indicate more good stuff is there. I think the day should be a tie, your 3 coins to Martin's two coins and two buttons. I think that perhaps your round thing with the hole in the middle may be the base of an artillery shell. Was there any military training in the area? Still, any day detecting is better than being bored with other stuff. Cheers from Texas.
I don't think that's a gun barrel, some muzzle loaders did have squared off shapes like that, but the bore is also not round, plus it's just too big. There's also a big taper in just the few inches of the item, it wouldn't be tapered to that extreme if it was a rifle or shotgun. I look at the wear on items for clues, it looks like the unbroken end has a lot of wear on it, like it was a foot or the end of a tool that got a lot of friction on it. I have no idea what it is, but there really is a lot of bronze in that field!
Could the bronze metal piece be a large pot leg or leg off something?? Great finds and good to see Marti out with you again
box spanner lol
Could be a 2-piece U.S. military button Marty
Many thanks!! Great info!!
🍺🙂
Hi John, would love to see a video of your collection from over the years, do you display them? How do you display them?
Many thanks. It’s on the to do list!!! Definitely a video coming probably over the winter
I wonder if it may be part of a hexagonal (rifle) barrel.
That would be amazing 🤩
Thanks John, I really enjoy your videos! Could you talk about the Portable Antiquities Scheme sometime, if you care to. Thank you.
hi john we having a good one
Martin I'm excited to hear you are getting a TH-cam account. Then I'll have two great metal detecting channels to watch! By the way, the thing Martin found with the nipples on the back, looks like a swaddled baby.
Looks like a musket barrel
See if any musket balls fit into it
Good thinking! I’ll give it a try!
Could be a buggy break for a carriage...
That’s interesting!! Thanks
@@thescottishdetectorist pls lmk if /when u get a definitive answer thanks as always John for the great content ..I also subbed to your other channel for historical context, ty🍻
@17:55 Looks like a land mine fragment?
That would be great 😊
The bronze looks like a broken bronze age gouge
That looks like a blown up Gun
Could that bronze tube be a broken barrel from an old pistol? Is it bronze and not iron? That's what came to mind for me - the hexagonal end could have been the barrel exit, and the jagged part could have been where it broke as a result of a misfire? Not a firearms expert by any means, just what occurred to me.
Did you know that Mary Queen of Scots was married in a white gown?
Oh yes.
Her wedding to the Dophane was massive, held in Notre Dame Cathederal and lasted 5 days, with what we would call scaffolding outside the Cathederal so that people could better see the comings and goings of the wedding.
Mary Queen of Scots was around 6ft tall by the age of 19 and was fluent in reading, writing and speaking in 5 languages.

Hello there from Dave in the ochills would love to know what the item you called scrap at 10 minutes into your video I have found many also but what was it if you look closely on the thin notched side there is lettering almost like a print/ stamp but I have no clue of age I tried once stamping a large piece on an ink pad but could not work oot the meaning perhaps latin? Please re look and let me know your thoughts. Great channel buddy keep them coming quick your a celeb would be great to join you one day!!:)
if i recall correctly, Wellcome or Burroughs Welcome conducted some terrible experiments on Irish children.
Oh no!!
i love your channel and your history lessons, i could tell you are a serious historian, and a very good one.
Looks like a hair barrette
Gun/musket barrel piece.
That would be amazing 🤩
I'm new here so sorry if you have answered before but what happens to all the chunks of lead that you find? ☺
Could Martin's lead item be the sole plate for a lead toy
Good thinking!! I’ll look into that one! Many thanks
Only Belgian detectorist waffle on.
I’m thinking it’s a hair piece,the one with the tiny pegs on it.
Is it the end of a gun barrel? The old bronzy piece?
George 5th coins, the end of an artillery shell and small pieces of random rectangular copper alloy? A WWI practice firing range?? Didn't you say there were European troops stationed in the area?
17:38 piece looks like the back of an artillery shell
I just keep wondering what is just out of reach of your coil? just under how far the plow can go. Could a 15 coil reach more glory?
Hi Tim…. It’s the what if’s that keep us coming back!! I often change direction in the field and wonder, what if I’d carried on straight 😂
I think at best the 13” gives and extra inch of depth over the 11” but what it really does do is increase coverage, but about 30% each swing, so I can cover far more ground in a day as a result. I’m not sure if a 15” would be an improvement or not, but we’ll see!!
I tried to find your other channel but I can't find it
A gun barrel
Thanks Rose. That would be amazing!! 🤩
