1,000 year old church! Best detecting day of 2023!! 

Im old enough to remember when we went decimal,i remember going to the shopthe next day with my shilling pocket money and asking for my usual 12 penny carmels (2aday and one on sat/sun,my little 6or 7 yr old brain was baffled when the shopkeeper told me i could only get 5for a shilling now ?i couldn't understand what was happening and was utterly devastated,im now 60 and that memory still haunts me,hahaha

I was out in my backyard pulling weeds and came in to find this nice video. We have a sunny day here in California for working in the garden but I’m so glad you were able to turn a miserably wet day there into such a special treat for yourself and your fans. Congrats on your new permission! 🥰💕❤️👍👍

As an Aussie I appreciate the translation of money to beer... that's awesome 😂

Watching from the American South and really enjoyed this one - subscribed, too! Both of my father's parents descended directly from Highland Scots who came here (to North Carolina) around 1750. You are so fortunate to have such a long history of metal artifacts to find there - from the Celts to the Romans. Here, we get excited to find Civil War bullets and artifacts, from only 160 years ago. But, in New England (NE U.S.), artifacts can date to 1600s. However, my house and acreage sits on woodlands above a creek system, so I commonly find Paleo Indian artifacts right around my house that go back 5 - 8,000 years, having found many stone axeheads, spearpoints, and arrowheads. Great finds!

What an incredible hunt John!! Your vids just get better and better!! And you wonder why you have so many subs!!! Cant wait till you return to this permission!! WOW,WOW WOW!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

John, I'm so excited that you have a new field, but oh my goodness what a plentiful day for you! Well done!

*Great day, John, even with the rain! Such wonderful finds - CONGRATULATIONS!* 👍🖖 Aside: I was born & raised in "Rainy Oregon," which is just north of "Sunny California," USA. In Oregon, even though it _DOES_ rain quite a lot, we always tried to remember to think & say this: *"It isn't raining rain today, it's raining daffodils!"* According to Scotland's most famous poet, Rabbie Burns, Scotland, too, is noted for _LOTS_ of daffodils, so _ENJOY THAT RAIN,_ as Spring will soon arrive, and also *_DAFFODILS!_* 🤗

What a days detecting, the tough days make days like this all the more enjoyable. 👌

What a permission to acquire and detect. Excellent work. Thanks again for telling us about the deep antiquity and history of this area, fields, church. 400 acres, a patch indeed

John, when you do your training video, you should include a compilation of you saying "DAMN!…Oh well…" Got to keep expectations realistic. Four hundred acres! Exciting!

1916 was the year my father and my wife's grandfather were born. It was interesting to hear some history from that year.

Amazing finds, especially that last one!!! Congratulations on the new location!

😅 my fingers hurt looking at your frozen ones. What a great new permission! Can't wait for the next series of digs😃 So exciting!

Well detected John. These new fields are going to be exciting to watch over the next few months. Especially around the church..

You were on fire! Nice collection of coins.

Well done to you buddy. A dozen coins & saved the best to last. I'm really pleased for you. Bless up 👊

As an Irishman, I appreciated the bit of history you gave about the Easter Rising in Ireland in 1916 and about James Connolly.

Hi John one of the best entertaining video for a while Some amazing finds Can’t wait for the second half

When I saw the second coin I wanted to shout "oak nuts!" (and yes, I don't get out much.....🙄)

Hi John. Really pleased that you’ve landed yourself a wonderful new permission with good history and great finds already. Slainte 🥃

This was great! Congratulations on getting this new permission. You sure have a knack for finding some great places.

Ive only been watching you for 2 weeks and I've learned so much already, not only history but also what all the info on coins means. Great find for me!! Thankyou!

John you folks are lucky to have a chance to find history so far back in time. I absolutely think it's incredible to think my backyard literally has been occupied for over 2 or 3 thousand years or more. You go ol' boy 😆

Spent 8 days in Scotland in 2018. From our home base in Forth, we climbed the Wallace monument near Sterling, saw the Tattoo in Edinburgh, and traveled south to Gretna Green and north to Fort William. We also stopped at the Green Welly in our travels. Best fish and chips anywhere, especially in Oban. Great whiskey everywhere. Darlington, South Carolina USA

I’m so curious to see what you pull out in the next episode. What an adventure!

I’m so happy for you! You are one lucky Scottish Detectorist… I wish I could be there to help you out detecting the new fields ! Thanks for sharing your wonderful videos!

I absolutely love watching your videos. You certainly know your stuff. Its like having a history lesson....Wonderful Thank you

Hi John, hope you’re well and warmed up again after your wet day out. I can’t remember who’s head was on those coins again lol. I definitely can’t believe how many you found 😮 You must be absolutely buzzing having all those virgin permissions and only 24 hours in a day lol. Thanks for sharing as I’ve loved this lengthy episode 🤗👍

I grinned through the entire video. Can't wait for part two!

John you had a great day detecting definitely got butterfingers dropping all the time, lol

What a day so happy for you on your new fields can’t wait till part two

My friend, i must say that your channel is very inspiring and so informative, thank you so much for being an inspiration for many all around the world, detectorist, all and anybody! =) Keep up the great work and happy hunting!

There were 20 shillings in an old pound, not 24 ., 240 pennies in old pound . Keep up the great videos, love them.

Sounds like a dream permission! Been subscribed to your channel for over a year as i like the way you edit ýour videos combined with your knowledge of history. Definitely some of the best detecting content on RU-vid!.

Gotta say I love your historical commentary on each coin detected. Cheers bloke. 👍

I am an American and I love Scotland. Your accent is to die for!

Well, that was a great day for a Scottish Detectorist. Awesome hunt.

Well done John! A real red letter day! Can't wait for Part 2 and the light box. The best part of this is that it sounds like you have barely scratched the surface of your new permission. Have you ever thought about a picture book of your best finds?

Congratulations! What a day!👏🤩

What great new fields you got access to, very excited for future videos. You'll surely find more amazing finds!

Oh only just got to watch this video and what a great one it is! So many coins and that silver hammered indeed is a real beauty! 👍👏👏

What a nice finish finish with the hammered. I can't believe how many George coins we keep turning up.Well done with the perseverance in all that rain.It was worth it whatever.

Wow, incredible finds John. So exciting to watch. Thank you.

Hello from Ireland, just discovered your channel, really interesting to hear about all the history and the different coins. Well done

Having now watched the whole video, virgin ground is something else. Congrats on the hammered, cant wait for part 2!

What a great detecting day.

great hunt and enjoyable video. Thanks.

You Buuutee. Well done John 🪙

Cushty little Saturday night treat!! 👍😜

Absolutely amazing! Would you possibly describe how you got that permission. Brilliant! Thanks for bringing us along!

Well done mate , the rainy day paid off 😊 and ending with a beautiful hammmmmmerd coin tops the video perfect 👍

You are on fire John and a nice round up with the hammered, excellent stuff

Enjoying your channel. DNA results show I am 26% Scottish so I all the more enjoy your accent! A never forgotten dream as a young child was that I found buried treasure. Have a metal detector but haven't really had chance to take it out much so I truly enjoy watching others dig my dream! Good luck out there in your beautiful land.

Omgosh aren't you a treat! New sub here, stoked to find ya. Love gold and history so it's a cool combo for me as I've not long found out I'm half Scottish, My Dad was adopted so I never knew. Tracing my Grandmother's history now. I'm Aussie and love watching gold metal detecting, this is way cool too 🤗

Remarkable days diggin there John, well done all thems George and then that little beauty what a save and amazing potential for that permission. Well done and really enjoyed your film great work pal 👌🏻

Enjoyed you telling about the copper penny had not been lost that long ago to be in the shape it is. I traveled to Scotland in 1976 and at a bar the barkeep heard me talking about old coins and in his cash register drawer remarkably had several older copper pennies from the 1930s and 40's ! People brought them in to buy a pint ? One was old with the bust of George V . I could not believe it and he gave them to me. I tipped him well a very good man and could relate as my father owned a bar/restaurant in Virginia and I mixed drinks there and served alcohol and food back then

What a awesome new permission and detecting property

Love days like that mate! I’m out on a dig tomorrow hoping to give my brush and pointy thingy from Les a try out😊

Congrats on the new permission. Should keep you busy and us subscribers very happy. Great video as always. Cheers.

A great day out for you my friend. ell done john on that last coin, as you say "It's a beauty."👍👍😉

What an amazing hunt! So cool seeing a coin that old coming out of the ground. Congratulations!

Nice hunt lots of coins, i enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

Well its a cold wet day in Gippsland Victoria Australia today, and you have made me feel ashamed of myself for sitting home in front of the heater, but you have sparked me to rug up, get out and do some hunting myself, but no chances of a hammered here unfortunately, but George the fifth, is well on the cards. A very nice silver to end this video, Oh! you missed your one George 6 on your last coin count, I have a bit of an ancestry link to scotland as I am a decendant of the Armstrong clan, one of the border reevers familys of apparent notoriety. then Ireland, followed by Australia in 1841. They all lived harder lives than me, and I wonder how I would have coped in any of those periods of history!... looking forward to your continuing hunt, and seeing what awaits you in your next dig! Cheers Mate!

Awesome finds! What a great day of metal detecting!

Well done 👍 John, you smashed it buddy 😮 what a great location 😮

Hi John, I just found your channel and it's wonderful! I've been detecting for about 40 years now and my best coin find was a 1879 US silver dollar. Not quite up to the par of what you're finding across the pond. Thanks for the interesting historical commentary along with showing your finds, I like understanding the context, and your silver count was pretty dang good for one day! Can I just say I'm pea green with envy that you have such wonderful old treasures to hunt! I just also watched the Celtic bull episode and it was a-maz-ing. Our finds here in Oklahoma for the most part don't get much older than the late 1800s, and those are quite rare these days. I want to come hunt with you. Congrats on a productive day!

The 1916 penny is a beautiful looking one

well john well done amazing coins thanks for the video

Excellent finds on this new permission. Can't wait to see what you dig up next.

Thanks for taking me along for the ride, from across the pond.

Gosh, you could never find impressive coins like this in the US just in a field. Honestly! This is exciting! What were they doing in these fields that would have caused all these coins to be dropped? One would think of a produce market of some such. Wow, you really hit the jackpot with the ancient 1200-1300 silver coin! You would NEVER find a coin that old in the US, that's for sure! Well done you! This was fascinating. It just shows how ANCIENT Scotland is. Thanks so much from Florida, USA!

Well done! You are truly having huge luck! I'm so happy for you and thank you for sharing!

The last find is the coolest and most interesting! It happens so often ))

love the history and your enthusiasm

I love the historical context you give with each find. Very interesting and entertaining. George V really dominated those paddocks

This was fascinating, as usual. I look forward to watching you explore this new permission. These videos are such a pleasure.

What a wonderful place to detect! Smell the relics 😂 Gorgeous George didn’t let you down even with the rain! I think you should grow a huge mustache in honor of all those coins 😂

👍👍 Can't wait for all of the videos from these new fields!!

Great job. You found a good spot!

Congrats Mate! I Love yaws acent! What a place to live to find such history

Very nice ,. great saves !!

Fabulous coins especially the medieval one. Looking forward to the next instalment!

Hands down, best detectoring video I've watched. Dropping the knowledge! Subbed.

Excellent. Love the London Coin..beautiful find. I think You are going to find real treasure there.

Amazing finds!

great new permission, looks to have loads of potential spanning the centuries. many thanks for producing these video's, I know there goes a lot of work to get them to us. Buy this man a coffee, it's a fraction of what it would cost to go the cinema for entertainment.

Wonderful haul, John!

Loved the video, what great land you have! See you soon :-)

Just want to let you know that eventually you're going to find a gold coin on that property, believe me, Godspeed my friend Godspeed !!!

This is fascinating! I’ve been binge watching English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish history so it’s super interesting to hear how well versed you are on the subjects. Subscribed!

God bless yah! What a great day in your new fields!

So glad I came across this content, the history lesson is icing on the cake, will you be telling us how much these coins are worth ? I’m sure lots would like to know

Spectacular finds!

Brilliant stuff guys ❤❤

Your favorite king to see Gorgeous george, great hunt ! 😊

What a great day for coins! George V was pretty popular! Just a little information about GSD hair…we call it glitter at my house…it’s everywhere!

Brilliant John what a permission to get 😅 can’t wait to see what else comes up

Love love love the history...from South Africa 🇿🇦

What a place to detect, good finds😊👍

I remember my first silver coin and were I was, it was a old half dollar . I still have pictures of it . Always been good at finding treasures everywhere but John and pete take it to a medieval level 💯. Love you guys keep on w the history .
