What a pleasure John. Catching up on my subscriptions. The longer ones wait sometimes as I don't always get the time. The heartburn will be the Jura I expect 😄. I've been on tablets over 20 years for it. Life changing for me. Kept me up for hours beforehand. Coming to Scotland in a week to see the family actually. Should be good. Thanks again buddy 👌
I truly love your videos. Your knowledge of Uk history keeps me coming back! By way of background I am somewhat of a musketball junkie. I am an armorer for the film industry and a flintlock geek. The little “nipple” on a musket ball is called a sprue. The more pronounced it is relates to the mold. The larger, the earlier as a rule of “bendy” thumb. I have tons of musket ball trivia available if needed. Frankly, never mind, it’s never needed. I’m just a musket junkie. Please forgive.
I love your little nuggets of history. I always learn something while I watch your metal detecting. No matter what you find, it is always interesting to me. Thanks from California where it’s finally a nice warm day.
Some interesting finds as ever. Re your explanation of why so many coins etc in fields - dont forget also the shoddy trade (old wollen clothes being used as fertilizer). Coins, buttons, buckles etc would have been left on/in the clothes whilst they rotted, then just spread over the fields. Many of my fields have military items such as button/buckles, musket balls, bullets etc that I'm sure sure were left in the old uniforms that were dumped after Waterloo rather than as a result of actual local military activity. Happy hunting and keep 'em coming !! :)
Here in Kentucky, where I grew up we got 2 weeks off to harvest tobacco. I did it every year from 8-18. Backbreaking hot and dirty work. Love the videos. Keep ‘em coming!
Nice finds as usual. 👍👏👏🥃🥃 That musket ball with the ‘Sprue’ not nipple, was poured a bit cold, or the pour was interrupted. That’s what would cause the fold, or groove in it. The joint between the two halves of the mould, leave that characteristic ridge around the ball in line with the sprue.
Here in SE Idaho the kids still get 2 weeks off for Spud Harvest. The teenagers and adults still work during the harvest. They drive trucks or work sorting the potatoes from rocks and weeds. I wonder what could be found in those fields since they’ve been farming them since 1860’s. We’re just babies here. Lol
Watching your Videos is always a pleasure 👍🏻 You must been blessed to have such interesting locations next to your door 👏🍀 In 2021 i found my first and only hammered Silvercoin after 24 Years detecting in my area... Here i'm already happy, when i get a Tombak Button from time to time 🙈 Congrats for all your nice finds! 🍀🍀
Thanks for the kind words Joe. Much appreciated. A great back catalogue of finds and videos for you to watch! Enjoy the videos and welcome to the channel!
If I went out and found a Victorian coin of any date I'd be on the moon! Today's tally was pretty good, and you had a chance for a nice lunch with you lady! That's a plus day, John!
Jura lacks stamina, but growing to be a GSD pony. A las No need to inspect baggy Eyes. Well give it time! John dreaming of Silver sestersis, some of the " old" it can't Be Vespasians, so we will settle for an Earlier period. Weather forecasts looks Good in the weekend 2 digit number Hope so😜🔝❤️
Very nice! I was really hoping that folded tab was a coin for you. You'll get it next time! Thanks for bringing us along and that is a beautiful dog you have there!
Enjoying the finds immensely, love the history you are able to relate to us. So happy for your skyrocketing subscribers , also! About the heartburn? My Scot Irish Daddy took pepto-bismol tablets, I tried this and it works like a miracle.
1:39; a heartburn remedy, put about 2 fat tablespoons of baking soda in 1/2 cup of very cold water, stir & take 6 sips. it's gross but the relief is very fast, followed by some epic belches...
I love his terms like he’ll give it the bendy thumb and sneaky Pete and that jammy swine. When his fields run out of coins he should become a comedian like Billy Connolly
Defo need to get Jura to come out n dig your holes, you'd get twice the amount of finds 😂. Thabks again for another awesome video. Can't wait for the next
Look into bile salts for indigestion I've heard it could possibly offer some relief, although I'm not a doctor,and don't play one on TV and I'm not giving medical advice.
Hi John, I try making sure I eat at least 4 hours before bed. Also foods like wheat(gluten), milk, nuts curries, garlic, ginger, alcohol, acidic foods etc can cause heartburn as can junk foods like crisps. A couple of Gav Double Action would have fixed it but find the root cause is better. Avoid hot foods and drinks too that is how I deal with mine. Also try eating an apple before bed. Strange but works for me and was recommended. 👍
You know who else had bendy thumbs like you? The late great jazz musician Jaco Pastorius. So, like him, are you a metal detecting virtuoso? Lately I am leaning toward yes. Make that detector sing!
Tattie hikin’ fortnight 😊👏. Second musket ball looks like it was made with the last of a pour and the start of a pour, leaving the distinct line…possibly the reason it didn’t get trimmed, maybe got lost from a pocket before re smelting?
G'day Sport...heh heh thanks for the heads up on the channel billy, I love this kind of thing, I dont live too far from what was once a massive Roman fort. the nails to which i have seen in Edinburgh Museum. Cheers bud
@@northernembersoutdoors1045 my old Sgt at my old nick in Bordon / Whitehill had permission for a few local Hampshire Fields. Lots of ‘modern’ finds though- owing to intensive hops growing to feed the local breweries in Alton. That said, he did find a medieval period stamp/ seal with an eagle carved to produce the crest on any stamp🇬🇧😎👍‼️
Brilliant as usual. I love your calmness, even when your dog is digging a bigger hole than you dug 😂😂 We found one of those lead pipe shapes too - curious as to what they are?
LOL...Jura needed some field time. Now she needs to be trained to dig where you want her to. I think that piece of metal you found with the musket ball looks like the tip of a spoon handle. We are twins with the eyebags. I carry my luggage around with me.
one of the times i used my evo spade on hard packed sun baked field the front blade sharp part started to curl bend so the stainless steel is weak but beside that shaft handle ect is strong the spear and jackson part 🤣🤣🤣 i paid around 70 too abit to much
You have to try to eat saurkraut and a antacid with it,this helped me with heartburn. Ihope this helps as much as it did me. There is no measurements just eat a few tablespoons and if you need more eat more. I dont enjoy eating it but it worked, good luck give it a try 😊
Hi John those lead tubes are quite curious while we were out detecting a while back my wife found one, we have no idea what it is and , were hoping someone will tell you so we can find out as well. Thanks for another great video.
That dog should be encouraged to help you...maybe, instead of a detector you could use his sniffer to find stuff? I bet you could train him to do it...he's obviously interested in what you're up to 🙂
You gotta keep the wife happy and give the pup a pettin. Happy wife happy life bro 😆. Always a good hunt no matter the finds. That bull and the gold noble were awsome but that bronze age axe was also a stunner. Did your flo take it to the museum? I can't remember but it was amazing.
QV had two distinct but slightly different heads on her earlier coins, the 'young' head from 1860-1873 and the so-called 'aged' head from 1774-1894, when they started using the 'velied' head.
Great video as usual! I was wondering if the ‘electrical item’ you said was junk might instead be part of a harmonica reed? Found some myself a few weeks back and another sign of a lot of farm workers on the fields like you said.
I have recently discovered your channel and am catching up on videos. I know you have friend named Martin, Fletch, and Sneaky Pete, but what is YOUR name?
I don't like when your spade is all we see during opening, middle, or end of video. C`mon, u can do better than this. Its really making me rethink this channel

There's bugger all you can do about it. Just look at cosmetic surgery. Or not.
Watching is a pleasure very intresting !
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video John.
Growing older is a privilege sadly denied to many.
Jura is a beaut and growing fast
Love your humor and seeing your finds! So exciting!

Many thanks Terry. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed and I managed to teach you something new! I sometimes wonder where all my info is stored 😂 🧠

Great video, @24:44 I see a puppet master, with a dog on strings, jumping through a hoop....haha
That dog can dig very well 😂
Thanks John, loved the video. Nice to see Jura. Wow, how she grows! Take care M8, cheers, John.
Nice finds as usual. 👍👏👏🥃🥃 That musket ball with the ‘Sprue’ not nipple, was poured a bit cold, or the pour was interrupted. That’s what would cause the fold, or groove in it. The joint between the two halves of the mould, leave that characteristic ridge around the ball in line with the sprue.
I hear a little hemorrhoid cream will fix those eye baggies 😂😉 Sweet Jura is a big girl now🐾❤See ya on the next!🎉
Do they sell it by the gallon 😂
Nice work as always! And giving you a little poke about the tour. Happy hunting!
Oh I’m still chuckling! Your puppy stole the show 🤣👍 She’s getting big! Still great finds. I’d be a happy camper just getting a Victoria 🤣
Many thanks, yes Jura is growing rapidly!! Not the best of days but still great fun being out
I love your videos and the items that you find. You have a nice dog! Thanks for sharing .🇨🇦

yay
Hope you enjoyed it David
Pretty good day. Judah has grown
He he! I loved your dog digging the hole 😂
That tab had me fooled too! Thought it was a folded hammered. LoL! Great video!
The joys of metal detecting 😆
Love the musket ball 👍👍 Brilliant 👌 Cheers from Mississippi 🇺🇸
Nice one buddy. Can't fault your low expectation attitude. Still, an interesting day.! Bless up 👊
Super try John!!! Some nice finds but everyday cant go our day? 😉👍 Another entertaining video! 👍👍👍👍👍
I think the dog is trying to tell you that you left the Gold Noble down the hole John??? LOL! Have a great lunch with the better half!!! 👍👍
Very nice to see you out on the fields of Perthshire, hope you and wife enjoyed your lunch and a jar of Ale😉😋. Happy days 😊
Nice one John. Always a mine of information. Always enjoy watching. All the best and HH.
Watching your Videos is always a pleasure 👍🏻
You must been blessed to have such interesting locations next to your door 👏🍀
In 2021 i found my first and only hammered Silvercoin after 24 Years detecting in my area...
Here i'm already happy, when i get a Tombak Button from time to time 🙈
Congrats for all your nice finds! 🍀🍀
Ian Browne that was hilarious! On to the next John!

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for your support
In northern Maine, U. S., they still have time off school in the autumn for the potato harvest.
👍
Many thanks Dan

peppermint tea by teapigs or even andrews helps within mins for heartburn, well done for reaching 17.4k x
Thanks!
Many thanks Terry

I find several of those hammereds every year 👍😂
Excellent stuff son 👏

Heartburn ? Try nexium minis. I’m half Irish. Couldn’t sleep without them. Of course it’s just a stereotype that the Irish & Scottish drink a lot 😄👍
17.4K.....congrats!
Many thanks 🤩
Drink a shot of pickle juice for heartburn. Works for me🥰🥰🥰
I’ll give it a shot! Thanks! The joys of getting older 😂

You are correct, it's pronounced "sproo".
Thanks Hans!!
Even in Finland, coins are very common field finds.
Are you sure you're not in Findland??
@@redtobertshateshandles Yes ;)
Lol you can carry you treasures in your eye bags 🙂
LOL...Jura needed some field time. Now she needs to be trained to dig where you want her to. I think that piece of metal you found with the musket ball looks like the tip of a spoon handle. We are twins with the eyebags. I carry my luggage around with me.
Haha 😂 👀 the joys of growing older! Jura certainly seems to be enjoying it

Spru. SPROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
🎉
Hope you enjoy
Hi John those lead tubes are quite curious while we were out detecting a while back my wife found one, we have no idea what it is and , were hoping someone will tell you so we can find out as well.
Thanks for another great video.
You usually get a bit disappointed when you find buttons so nice to see that you do like them really!!😂
That dog should be encouraged to help you...maybe, instead of a detector you could use his sniffer to find stuff?
I bet you could train him to do it...he's obviously interested in what you're up to 🙂

Hi James. Glad you enjoyed. Again not the best of finds but nice to be out. The axe is still in my sock 🧦 drawer! On my to do list!!
QV had two distinct but slightly different heads on her earlier coins, the 'young' head from 1860-1873 and the so-called 'aged' head from 1774-1894, when they started using the 'velied' head.
That was supposed to say 1860-1873 and 1874-1894 for the two heads
17k now! You should teach your dog to find and dig up silver and gold! Lol She's a good digger!
1/2 Tbsp baking soda in 8 oz water for heartburn 😉 only thing that works or me.
an other good day out with a mix of finds hope the dog filled its hole in john
The last piece that you found or close to the last piece it kind of looks like ogham inscription?????
I’ll have a look back! Many thanks
ALL HAIL THE BENDY THUMB!
Water and a little baking soda will cure even the worst case of heart burn in just minutes. Nothing better!
Thanks for the top tip Edward
I thought it was a folded hammered as well.
Better luck next time.
Yeah, the heart was racing for a wee moment
not bad john but 17.4 now carnt wait till next one enjoy lunch

Great video as usual! I was wondering if the ‘electrical item’ you said was junk might instead be part of a harmonica reed? Found some myself a few weeks back and another sign of a lot of farm workers on the fields like you said.
Jura stealing the show at the very end...I am sure she was telling you to check your hole before you fill it in! 😀
Are the heads looking left or right an indication of even or odd numbers?
Alternate from each monarch for example our queen faced right and now Charles faces left, if or when William becomes king he will face right 😊
The kings and queens heads alternate from facing left to right one after the other
Thanks guys!
Ok let's get on with it??? lol
Bag seal identification
Nice video! Do you know whether it's best to wear gloves or not to wear gloves when detecting?
Heart burn can be an indicator of heart distress
I hope you checked Judas hole before you filled it in . lol You never know !

Oooh…. First or a tie with Pete… it’s too close to call!! 🥇
Just curious John, what do you do for work?
I have recently discovered your channel and am catching up on videos. I know you have friend named Martin, Fletch, and Sneaky Pete, but what is YOUR name?
My name is John! Welcome to the channel and I hope you enjoy the back catalogue
I’m guessing early crack pipe…
1st! \o/
I think it’s a tie between you and Youri 🥇
I was going to give you a lecture on healthy eating, but then I'd only be a hypocrite. I know that beef sausages give my gall bladder hell.
It may have been a disaster when a farm worker lost a penny, they were only paid pence
Clean that poor coil :(

Nice one nice finds keep them coming young man from sunny Cornwall
Much appreciated Tim. Always seems to be sunny in Cornwall doesn’t it 😂
