Very Entertaing John Beauty Of A Hammered And That Interesting Silver Cross. Well Done,
Much appreciated thanks for watching
Oysters and bread with butter is obvious but sparrows, they were also sold as food, food for the poor and destitute. Sparrows had little to no meat on them, but they could be added to a stew of tubers like potatoes and carrots to add a tiny bit of meat and a bunch of flavor to it and what little fat they had in them, but many of the poor would also eat Pigeons, and Pigeons could have quite a bit more meat on them, and they were often regarded as an excellent meat Americans would sometimes call them squab, but I don't know it that was the same for British people. But if you go looking through very old recipe books you'll find the occasional recipe for pigeon, but the problem with Pigeons is that they are quite a bit smarter than sparrows, brain size is always the factor for intelligence, and Pigeons would remember the tricks and traps humans laid for them, but they were the predominant birds that were found within the cities, Sparrows and Pigeons. So there is the reason why they would be sold for a farthing, because a farthing was a coin that many destitute and poor would have and sometimes the small coins were often given out by the church as well so that the poor could at least get a meal from a farthing in some way. But this was likely in the largest cities of England at the time like London, where the population was high.
A Woohoo for you and one fpr Simon too 👍👍
Well this American never knew why it was called Scotland Yard, and now I know. So not really so useless information there. Great find on the hammered coin! Definitely keep us updated on that one. Cheers 👍
This Scotsman also didn't know that!
I relly enjoyed the video(as allways).nice finds,cross and the hammered coins are awesome👍💕
Many thanks 😊
A great two days with no distractions. Thank you for taking us with you. I think you will get to the 20,000 views (your at 16,000 now), but you should give Simon a break now that he has officially found a horde. He couldn't have done it without your guidance these past 6 months. You do have to admit he is a lucky guy, and he is lucky to have you as a friend.
That floral mark on the cross looked similar to the floral marks on the silver thimble you found a few videos back. So maybe it was a popular design with a local silversmith.
With all this lead you keep finding, if you melted it down you could probably make a couple of regiments of lead soldiers with horses.
Always have a blast watching your videos. They are informative in so many ways and I can't wait to see what's next.
Awesome program, my Scottish Detectorist friend. I’m happy to see that Simon remains a part of your program. Congratulations, once again. 33,500 subs…and views through the roof. John, you’ve been blessed with the gift of teaching…and the gift of gab. Blessings, from this old man in Tennessee.
John, you lucky so and so. I believe the hammered coin is a voided long cross penny of Henry 111. The voided long cross ran from Henry 111 to Edward 1. It was Edward who introduced the farthing and halfpenny. Just to say ,it was a pleasure meeting you at detectival as well.
John what a find that is absolutely stunning … 800 years buried in a field of Perthshire .. found by a bloke with a metal stick … mind boggling …well done you 🎉
I enjoy your programs so much due to the common history of the common people who left and lost common stuff of everyday life. I suppose its just the untold story of people like myself who've lost precious and not so precious things to be found by folks like you and your friends. Blessings
Many thanks. Glad you enjoy! Lovely posts like this encourage me to keep going because it isn’t easy!! Four outings in the last week and three returned empty handed with not a single thing…. Then this one 🤩
But what a lovely hobby x
Lovely Coin thick as well 800 years old Wowzers..I really enjoy watching your Footage John Absolutely great way to spend Time as it is so precious just like your finds..Wonderful hobby.
Love your vids so much! My brother and I were thinking we could make a drinking game. Drink every time you say shock horror, bendy thumb ack well, or drop something, or forget something at home. Cheers from Canada keep up the good work :)
I love this idea 😂 you would be drunk very soon 🥴 😅
chuckling at Simon’s hoard…”only been detecting 6 months” and he’s never even read the instructions for his kit 😂 ‘Mon the Big Galician 💪🏼.
He gives hope to all new Detectorists 😂
Ps - great find with the coin and cross. What work, very quiet fields as you say.
That cross is very cool!!! I enjoy those personal finds. Kudos on the hammered coin!! Thanks for the update on Simon's coins.🥰🥰🥰
Just wanted to stop by and let you know how much I look forward to your videos I love watching the things you dig up from the ground so anyway hello from Ohio ,USA
Quick lesson: A long cross will extend to the edge of the coin up to the outer edge of the text. A short cross will terminate at an inner wreath (or garland?) within the outer circle of text. This is a fabulous long cross. Great find.
Stunning coin John. Medieval silver to put a smile on your face. Love the silver cross as well, looks like that has good age. The field definitely has promise, even if it has possibly had detectorists on it before, if so, they certainly missed those great finds. Well done to Simon as well. All the best and good luck. HH.
What a beautiful hammered coin! Congrats to Simon and his hoard!
John, great find, great vid, congratulations brilliant description as usual.
Many thanks. Much appreciated
let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Very nice work John!! That hammered is stunning, congratulations
Awesome mate! You have to film the museum trip for us again to get them all appraised please! The hammered coin looks a little like a Long Cross Penny (1247-1279), according to the internet.
Thanks Dave. Much appreciated. I’ll see what I can do when it comes to filming the museum visit!!
the coin is really cool but can't help wondering if the cross is the more important find, suspect that might be very old
What a nice hammered coin! Beautiful!
Wow John, that cross was great but the hammy was beyond great! What amazing condition! Very well done M8, cheers, John.
Congrats on your fabulous hammered coin! What a beauty! 😍
What a beauty hammered coin!! And the cross which I feel is old! Hope you can find out. Jolly good. And hopefully Simon will eventually be able to keep his super Roman coins. Your vlogs are alway eagerly awaited & watched with pleasure.
Brilliant find with the Henry hammered coin John well done buddy 👍
Much appreciated…. Over the moon with that!?
What an amazing hammered coin, such stunning detail! Be interesting to find out who it is and the date. The decoration on the cross looks like a flower and leaves, another fab find. Also congrats to Simon!
Hi John! Your #1 Alaskan Fan here. Congratulations on the beautiful cross and AMAZING hammered coin! P.S. I like Simon.
Wait!!! I thought we were watching "The Spanish Detectorist" channel now John?😂
I am calling it as a Henry III long cross penny mid 13thC - an absolutely fantastic one too
Oh my gosh! Great great finds John!! The cross is amazing, and your hammered coin is phenomenal! The time was worth it, even if the hits were few. Your videos never disappoint! 👍🪙
Many thanks!! See you on the next!!
Outstanding!! 👍😎🤙
Congrats Simon !!
Congrats on the hard-won finds. Can't wait to learn more about the cross and the hammered coin.
Yes John. I'm elated for you. What a cracking silver hammered. Your efforts are reaping the rewards. Great stuff. Bless up bro 👊
Nice finds as usual John. You're very consistent.
You guys are bigger than I am, if I thought there was a chance the gov may keep my finds I would probably keep my findings to myself......lol
Thanks David.
Well it’s the law and it’s better that these finds be recorded and go on display for all to see. Just wish the system was faster and better than it currently is.
@@thescottishdetectorist Understandable. And we Americans certainly share your frustration with the speed of gov....
Loving your knowledge you’ve honestly taught me more about Scottish history than school ever did 😁
Thanks for the kind words! Best wishes
CONGRATULATIONS WOW what an awesome day on ur finds 😊
Thanks Robin. Much appreciated
Hi John, a great VLC penny, very well done and you now have another subscriber mate. One of my subscribers (and a big fan of yours called Gillian) met you at the recent Detectival, I was there too at the Regton stand, but sadly we didn't cross paths for a chat. (She's always talking about you and Gary Blackwell lol). Maybe one day we will meet up, although I'm originally from the North east of England I've lived in Dorset for some 40 years now so there's quite a long distance between us. All the best and good luck on your future recoveries of coins and artefacts from our mystical ancient past. Keith. 👍
Fascinating tidbits of history sprinkled in with your amazing finds today! Awesome news for Simon’s and his hoard of coins!
That is a real beauty of a hammered coin!
You give us a glimpse of life and history long ago and the fields of Scotland today. Add some fun finds and it’s a nice Friday video to accompany my lunch. Cheers from a Californian who enjoys your videos!
Henry III hammered penny!! Stunning detail on it well saved John🤩
Thanks for vid great finds.
Congratulations of the fabulous medieval coin. Wonderful find!
“Eating, drinking and losing stuff”…the story of my life! I think the cross is old and the star/burst design will tell the tale! More Simon Double D!!!
My mama taught me it was rude to invite yourself to dinner but dang I'd love to be digging where you are. What incredible finds. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing!!!
Henry III hammered. Great find
Awesome find congrats on the hard earned hammered treasure👍
what a stunning silver coin John and the silver cross, a very productive two days thanks again cheers
That is a beautiful hammered find John.👏👏I hope the new fields produce more for you John. I went on a new permission today, knowing it had been detected before. 4 coins, the oldest being a 1929 Sixpence and a medieval token! So, perhaps the previous detectorists missed a lot of stuff.👍👍😉
Beautiful silver mid evil coin! I get as excited as you when you find something like that! I really look forward to your videos.
Thanks for the kind words 😯
Congratulations, your history is never useless xx
John!! Well done
Hey, John, I appreciate how you often worry about the wind making noise through your microphone. Out of all of your videos that I’ve watched…I’ve never heard any objectionable noise from the wind. You’ve done an awesome job of choosing a fantastic camera and microphone. Blessings, from this old fart in Tennessee.
Oh my gosh, what a great time watching you get your finds as I sit sipping my coffee.....lol...joking aside, Double Wow on the coin! The cross looked off center, is that what makes it the difference from a whole one? Your information is never useless! Thanks for your hard work!
Love the hammered coin!
Cracking Henry the 3rd looks like, beautiful coin John 🤩
Well done John it's a voided long cross penny of Henry 3rd, the cross coming all the way to the edge of the coin was the first coin to try and halt the clipping on coins I believe . Keep up the great work in my opinion yours and the dukes of Derbyshire are the best detecting videos no nonsense no cringe moments just informative knowledgeable and passionate 👏✅👌
Lee muddy boots D.G
Astounding!
Absolutely stunning hammered coin. Congrats to Simon and his horde!
Congrats on your silver finds! And congrats to Simon, good news that.
Great video as always John lovely cross and an unbelievable voided long cross was hard going over the 2 days but you got there in the end thank for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍
That was a really nice silver hammered U detected. Really nice condition & a good thickness to it as you said. Would love to go out wth U detecting for the knowledge U have.
I'm a Clydebank man right next to the 5000yr old cochno stone ( cup & ring marks) discovered in 1887 by Rev. James Harvey & iv had some decent finds next to the markings. I do alot of detecting in Carbeth as I have free roam to miles of land on my friends land & I own a wee butt & Ben there also. He owns loads of land around Drymen too, which iv still to hit. I'm learning all the time a little bit more on the history of the land & the relics & coins iv accumulated . But by being a subscriber to your channel i pick up a history lesson every time & I just want to thank you for your knowledge & time U give to us subscriber's.
I actually need to start putting a TH-cam channel out there myself as my best friend whom I laid to rest 2 days ago (god rest his soul) have some great footage with his drone that he loved to film me digging up hunks of iron & the occasional hammered coins. So thank u for the history lessons learned & the artifacts shown. 👍⛏️. Never knew that's why Scotland yard was named. Awesome. I love learning these things
thanks john another great video and nices finds
Always excited to see you have posted a new video but this one sounds like it’s going to be super exciting!!
The ship on the back of the 1950 half penny is the Golden Hind, Captained by Sir Francis Drake in his circumnavigation of the World between 1577-1580. Originally known as the Pelican, but renamed mid voyage in 1578.
Nicely done again. What a nice find. You always seem to do better alone at that.
Nice one...lovely coin well done
Evening John that hammie is stunning and the cross is definitely medieval for me...fantastic video and land mate looking forward to your next visit there 👍😎
What a wonderful find. Thanks for sharing it with us.
wow...2 fantastic finds there john...i think the hammered is a Henry 3rd long cross, but as you said it could be 1st...2nd or a john...as for the cross, reminds me of a homemade cross and the markings look possibly Roman or even Viking, probably made to be carried as opposed to having a suspension loop...i have seen that "SUN" Symbol" somewhere before..so in all honesty i don't have a clue...but finding stuff like that those fields are full of promise, well done again m8, GL&HH Gordon.
Worth the wait between finds too.
WOW! What a beautiful coin! I may take up metal detecting!!! Love the video!!!!
History is only useless if it isn’t a lesson learned. Congratulations on the beautiful coin and the lovely cross.😊
Thanks and best wishes
Don't forget to...pick up your cross
Great video as always, thank you for sharing. Great news for Simon. I think you may say jammy! Thanks for sharing. Cheers
John please let us know in your next video what the hammered coin turned out to be. Thank you!
Will do Patty! Thanks
Henry III voided long cross. Nice find lad 👍
Congratulations John! What a find!
Great hunt nicely done, i enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
Persistence paid you handsomely! Absolutely phenomenal. Yay Simon, eh, I mean John! 🤣🎉
Beautiful coin and cross! Congrats to Simon as well!
Thanks for doing the work and taking me along...all the way from Colorado.
Wow! That medieval coin is phenomenal! I loved the piece of history about the reason Scotland Yard us so named. News to me. But my Scottish husband said he knew. Must have learnt it in school.
Great finds, John.
Great content. Watch you all the time from utah. Haven't been back to the old country since 2003. Keep it up.
Thanks so much for your gift and sorry it took me so long to acknowledge! Best wishes
Simon adds a little flavor to the channel.
Do you think the flower-like marking on the cross resembles the markings on the silver ingot you found a few months ago? The hammered coin is beauty. Very enjoyable video.
I’ve had a look and they are different. I think the ingot is more stars in design whilst the cross looks more like a flower
Hey John - the star on that cross looks like a hallmark of Matthew Boulton - a well known Birmingham silversmith iin the late 1700's. He's considered the grandfather of modern coinage in GB. Well done. And- it may not be his......
Your videos get me through the week away at work until home to Bonnie Dundee John,
Cheers 👍
You had a hell of a hunt. I enjoyed hearing that Scotsmans excitement 😂. I'll be looking forward to the next John. See you on the there bro.
Keep us updated on Swiny ol'' Simon and congratulations to the both of you fellas
Could you show us your collection of found hammered coins? I would be very interested in seeing them as a whole 😊
Well your slow day just zoomed to a very high day in one coin! Makes your day. Very nice hammered coin.🙌🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
What a beautiful coin😮😊
Hi John, I would say it’s a Henry 3rd voided long cross Hammered silver Penny from about 1248 onwards,it’s really nice thick flaned coin in really nice condition bud. It’s a thing of Beauty as you say Bud well done mate. All the very Best to you and HH👍😊
Great finds! You can't give Simon the boot, he's a great sidekick. 😅
Great find John
Amazing hammered coin ! Congratulations !
