Both are denarii of Antoninus Pius. The reverse of the one you weren't sure of is a modius holding a poppy and grain ears, the other one is Tranquillitas standing.
Better yet, the Tranquilitas coin is better dated by the fact it has the information that he was holding tribunician power for the 15th time, and consular power for the fourth. that dates it to 151-152 AD, according to Numista.
John:
I believe you unearthed a part of a cobblers “last”! This tool is used to hold an inverted shoe to receive a new or replacement heel. You are missing the base, which is held by a workbench vice (keep looking).

That’s what I thought too 😊
@@thatjinja69 me too! I have one right here ...
Wow just seen Alberts bulls head on the cover of searcher magazine! Famous at last 🎉🎉 Well deserved, and the 23,000 subs 👏👏👏
Need to watch this video tomorrow, can’t wait 👍
The George VI coin looks like a Florin.
We used to call them 2 shilling pieces when I was a kid
@@alanbolton3748 two-bob bit 😁
The Romans used to use little pendants like that. They are similar to the way we used dog tags for the military.
Me yelling TARP so loud my family hears me and looks at me funny😂
GROMMET!!😂
😂
Same here...GROMMET!
Yep, grommet from a tarp (US)
@@karencross1964 what you said 😂
That gold chunk that you thought could be plastic, is actually a piece of "kickstrip" Rory putting on your carpet at the threshold of a room.
I have found loads of them, they are always little chunks, they have grooves and a section is always angled.
They get the heart going, they do.
Many thanks!! Great identification! Thanks
We used to call them Tarpaulins in America but now we call them Tarps. lol ...That funny thing looks like it might be a foot pedal for an old auto or motorcycle.
The opening photography of this video is unreal. I thought it was fake at first. Scotland is incredible!
Glad you enjoyed
That aluminum piece with the flat end and long shaft( appears to be broken off) resembles a heavy duty tent peg. The "heart" shape piece may be a metal boot heel protector. I saw one side appeared smoother and perhaps worn from contact with the ground. I really enjoy the unusual finds you recover. Even in Canada I've found a rare Livery button from London England. One of my favorite finds.
Nice finds John. your love heart is the back of a Padlock.
Two silver Roman coins stuck together for 2000 years! Wow! Congratulations John …. A great video and thanks for sharing!
Many thanks and I’m glad you are enjoying
The rings for tying down tarps are called “grommets .” Love the history you share.
Are you sure? Down here we call the eyelets. I thought‘grommets’ were circular plugs in metal panels, as used in some car bodies for closing drain or access holes. Or they are a circular rubber guard that is fitted to the hole in the engine firewall, to protect electrical wires to pass through. But they could be both, or either. 🤷♂️😁 I guess it depends on where you live.
Via: Websters Dictionary American plural noun: grommets
an eyelet placed in a hole in a sheet or panel to protect or insulate a rope or cable passed through it or to prevent the sheet or panel from being torn.
The heart shaped item attaches to the bottom of a woman’s shoe. It would leave heart shaped impressions in the ground when they walked. They are often associated with brothels.
Great one John!
Amazing finding two Roman coins stuck like that !
Really exciting finding those two coins together. What a surprise! God bless
Great finds the heart shaped object might be a heal plate for a shoe
What happened in 1922? My grandmother told my grandfather she was pregnant, late December in Dublin.
Ireland became the Republic of Ireland.
To funny when you said gorgeous george he just keeps coming well he did have 6 children after all.LOL
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉congrats on your double silver coin find!!!!! I’m so happy for you!!!!
Are you alright John? I’m sure I could hear your heart pounding through the microphone! True history duo. Congratulations!
The heart is definitely a piece of padlock. I think 😅 You prompted me to look at the history of padlocks a few weeks ago while I was watching one of your shows.
The car Franz Ferdinand was in when he was shot had the registration 111118 or 11/11/18 which seems like an interesting coincidence.
Great video John as usual.
Enjoyed your talk about the Antonine wall too.
Good luck at detectorvil
Congrats on the silver! Once again very entertaining and informative. Thanks, John!
John, love the video at the end very interesting! Love the Roman silvers, see you at the weekend 👍
23k, well done!
How lovely that the farmer stopped for a chat.
This post is awesome. How beautiful, that Scottish landscape around Perthshire, most certainly is. Blessings my friend, from Tennessee.
Heart. Shape quite possibly the back of a padlock
A few quick things... In the US we call the tarpaulin hole protectors grommets. The second thing... For people worrying about it, softly brushing a coin to knock off dirt will not do any damage worse than laying in the ground for hundreds of years already has done. Dug coins, unless spectacularly rare or gold ones, are not worth much as collector coins to begin with, as they're graded as having been dug, and detectorists rarely sell their finds... Also, I'm loving your videos and quite enjoying living vicariously, detecting through all those "fields of Perthshire" while it's way too dang hot and dry here to be out detecting in Oklahoma! One other thing, I think we're probably distant cousins, I am of Scottish extraction, my brother and I are very tall too, and have "bendy thumbs" just like yours lol... Keep up the good work John!
I love the history lesson at the end!!! Thank you
I knew there was a hoard, or at least the remnants of one. It’s just a matter of time John! Your hard work is paying off. Happy hunting and good luck!
Coolest thing I've seen in a long time. 1800 years those coins were together. Mind boggling. In the U.S. we call them tarpaulins also, but usually tarps for short. The eyelet doo-hickeys are called grommets.Thanks.
Great stuff. Absolutely loved every moment of this. The history tour at the end,and those two silver beauties. Thanks again,best wishes from Wales boy.
First today in Maryland, USA
Can’t wait to see your tours. Let’s see if we can get that channel 22,000 subs.🎉
The first thing you found is called a grommet.
The little tag thing I believe is a keyhole cover for a padlock.
That is the "Isle of Man" symbol but I don't know what the thing is.
The heart thing is part of a small padlock.
Do you get to keep gold and silver coins you find or are they considered treasure?
I have found U.S. pennies only a couple years old that were almost completely disintegrated. They sure don't make them like they used to.
The last park that I hunted I found 28 aluminum pop tops and nothing else so I gave up. At least you found some pennies and such.
I believe the rectangle thing might be a shim.
Congratulations on the Roman silver coins and the 23k subs🎉
Possibly a shift pedal for a motorcycle. Cheers
That's what I thought. After all, they do a " bit" of racing on the Isle of Man
Wow 23k, excellent and well deserved. Cheers.
Thanks for the beautiful tour of the Antonine Wall. I’m glad I didn’t have to dig those ditches. Those TWO silver Romans 😍 and can’t forget my favorite Gorgeous George ❤ Tarpaulin =tarp 🇺🇸😂😂
What a great find. I recently heard, that the baked together coins can be signs of a hoard. As they have been in a vessel, stuck together for a long time. Oh and btw: thanks for the part about the Roman wall.
yes 😉
if the heart shaped piece is from a padlock the holes are probably for the rivets that held it together.
Incorrect
@@isaacjacobs6156 do you have a better theory?
I do. I commented it. But it’s a part of a woman’s shoe. It would leave heart shaped impressions in the ground. They were often associated with brothels. The holes are where it was tacked to the shoe.
This episode was thrilling! I especially like the laurel wreath on Antonius' Pius's head.
The farmer's grandchildren will have some fantastic things to take to school for 'show and tell'. Great finds and backstories John 🙌🏻
Such great finds of tremendous historical value. The history lessons are absolutely priceless. Everyone deserves the opportunity to appreciate this channel. Share and advocate for this channel, I certainly will. BRAVO!
Wow they romans are stunning 👍
Many thanks. I have to say I love a Roman denarius!!
Congratulations on Visit Scotland Tours! I'll find it and subscribe for sure. Thank you
The heart belongs to my wife’s horse. She put heart shaped medallions on her horses bridle…yep…she did. Blessings from Tennessee.
Brilliant you've fired my enthusiasm to get back out and ill be going in two days time thanks to you, thank you for being entertaining.
Great find, congratulations. I also enjoyed the virtual tour. Thank you.
12:46 hey John. Personally I think it looks like some sort of a pipe and bowl. Like I say it could be 🤷🏻♂️
Wow!!!!! 😮…. 💪🏼 Double whammy .. well done 👌🏽
Wow! Congrats on 23K subscribers! Exciting to see it climb to 30K ! We appreciate the effort you put into detecting & research the history. Love your offbeat humor...😏
the heart with holes in it could be, a old small lock, that is the back plate. check the size, compared to heart shaped locks from 50 to 70 years ago, GREAT SHOW,, MY DNA said 52% SCOTTLAND / 48% IRELAND,,, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME,,
And at least 52% amazing too! 😆 best wishes and thanks for the info! Hope you’ve been for a visit!
Awesome treasure. It’s great to finally see what a Roman Denarius actually looks like, after hearing them mentioned in Parables taught by Jesus, in my Bible. Thanks and Blessings.
Congrats on the silver Denari! Thank you so much for including the bit about antonines wall at the end. I also wanted to say thank you for mentioning your new channel. As someone whose disabled I will probably never get to these places, so I greatly appreciate getting to see them, even if it is only virtually. ❤
A great find John - two Roman coins stuck together. I loved the story about the Rough Castle
🤸♂️ Those coins were last in the possession and FINGERS of a Roman soldier or citizen... BEAUTY INDEED. OMGoodGawd, Wowww.
really enjoyed this episode
Worth waiting for, and it got your heart pumping, I know I had the biggest grin - the field delivered 🤸🎉. Good old Antoninus Pius 🥰
John you forgot to put the link in the description pal, I’d be interested in the tools! Congrats on 23k and two lovely Roman denari🤩
Sorry Jamie! I’ve added it in now or type 125832609259 into eBay and you’ll find it! Thanks it’s a great wee tool
@@thescottishdetectoristthanks John
Item number doesn’t work for me, what is the seller name?
Great video mate I'm so jealous of the history you have up there I would love to come out with you one day it would be a dream come true 👍
Amazing day again. Thank you for sharing
That's very cool you got a new permission bro. Awesome
Damn it man that's cool!!!
That king George the 6th coin could possibly be a shilling.
Also, Congrats for 23k subs & greetings from America
‘It’s a thing!’ Love it
Nicely done I enjoyed the video, two beautiful silver coins 🇺🇸
Good for you you've cleaned the last of all the treasure 😊
Terrific mini hoard, nice hunt
Many thanks!
Tarps is what we call them this side of the pond!
WOW ! What a find DOUBLE COINS ! ! ! Congratulations 🥳
I think a great visit to Scotland would be two or three days of historical tours and a day or half day of metal detecting. 😃
The HEART reminds me of a shoe tap
The coin on the left is definitely Hadrian as the writing on the coin upper left says . the other coin is his adopted son Antonin Pius but You'll find that out with a ancient coin expert. Oddly enough my ancestors come from Perthshire and Ayreshire think that's the right spelling. Going by other Active detectorists in England the more some fields are ploughed the more relics are upturned and unearthed so the fields that have been done to death have given up some more amazing finds and some long lost and forgotten hoards. Cheers Mate
Many thanks Tim! Hope you’ve been up to walk the ancestral lands?
Wow, double Roman silver John, well found Sir. Nice video on the Antonine wall too, I lived in Greenhill as a kid, the wall was my playground, heading down to Detectival Friday morning, hope to see you and the team to say hello.
Congratulations on the Roman silver.
Thanks for the tour of the wall. Lovely to have a personal tour of something I probably will never see in person.
Many thanks Karen, glad you enjoyed
Absolutely lovely coins congrats
The 2 Roman Ag coins - a double delight! Love the wall segment and info on your tours!
What a great way to find a double Roman .! Wouldn't have believed it without seeing it. They really looked like they were buried concentric. Props to you.! 23 K ,as well.!! Get up.! Bless up bro 👊
hah! "i'm not exactly gonna say no am i"
When I was growing up in the U.S. my Dad called them tarpaulins but it is shortened to tarp now.
This was a good one again the two roman coins excellent finds to possibly end the season on the roman field. I do think that one piece was a cobblers last as committed below
those tow romans were unusually stuck together but are a great find well done John
Once again you have smashed it john ! And the history you bring with it is unreal
As always John great hunt
Congrats on a great day of finds!
I remember being told that Pontious Pilot was born in Perth some say it's a myth but some Historians are saying " could be " The heart shape I thought could be a padlock or a part of a heart shaped watch ? Great finds P.s. I was born on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11 am x
I like those twin Romans😊
Great entertainment per usual John thoroughly enjoyed that well done with the finds you'll be able to buy that farm with silver denari😢😅
That’s a thought! We can gofundhim for that farm as well!
I think the heart shaped object, with all the random holes..is possibly part of a very old padlock plate, The back,I suspect.. Great videos,I always enjoy Fortune.. hope that helps,about mystery item..
Superb history lesson at the end of the video. Thanks.
Your very smart John. Good on you 👍🙂
Hi John, thanks for another entertaining hunt video. I expect you identified the thick George 6 coin with the farmer, however I expect it was a florin or half crown but difficult to say not being there. Good luck, see you next time.
Wow, double silver in the hole, I love all the history that you give and the Antonine wall really puts it into context.. off to subscribe to your new channel now..😁
Great history and knowledge
Not going to lie, I watch as much to hear you talk as I do for the hobby and history.
I’ve subbed to visit Scotland Tours John 🤗👍
Great hunt John, congrats on 23k subs. Not to mention, not one, but 2 Romans. I was gonna say the same thing about the heart shaped object being a back plate for an 1800s lock. Keep up the beep, good luck and happy hunting!
Absolutely brilliant video John.
