Fantastic Celtic coins

Great day, fantastic founds and wonderfull partnership. Greetings from Cuba.

Great fellowship.

👍👍👍👍👍👌

Alot of fun watching this video.. so many happy people

Whenever I’m watching your videos (which I do daily) and you say “beauty” my wife laughs. She’s so amused at how excited you get over these mini treasures! And that’s why I watch, because of your enthusiasm and all the great history!

Great stuff - just goes to show - "slow and low" 👍 thanks everyone for showing their finds too, and love the red kite displays🐦

Well done mate! We did keep an eye out for you but no joy! You must have been hiding from us hahaha, Rick also found a belting Crotal bell also! I'm yet to find one :-(

Love the Celtic coins 😊

So much fun!

Good weekend a button weekend but still good

Some amazing finds,but memories that will last years,thanks for sharing john and all the best bud.

Loved watching your experience at Detectival, I was in a B&B as I didn't fancy camping but it meant I missed meeting everyone in the evenings, so was lovely to catch you on Sunday, thanks for featuring my coin, I still can't believe I found it!

Those coins were amazing especially that gold one. If you ever have your own newsletter you could call it 'The bendy thumb' lol.😂

Good guys feeding the neighborhood dogs 😆

Brilliant finds and looks like you all had good fun!

Always good to see the bendy thump and the butter fingers. Have a nice Easter 🐣

It looks like you had a fun and exhausting trip. Thanks for sharing.

The bell was a great find.

Brilliant video again John congrats to everyone involved. Look forward to next vids

A huge congratulations to Simon! Give him some time to learn the machine and he’ll make you proud John. I’ve never seen a Celtic coin or an old English Republic coin! Thank you for being the detectorist liaison and sharing those finds. Anyone would be happy for the 4 coin Roman find…that 14 year old is hooked for life now! Great video John, many thanks for sharing it all!

It blows me away the things y'all find. To find a 300 year old coin would put me on my arse, but 2000 year old I would lose my mind!! Great channel and even greater finds. Hell, I'd be happy with the little door knob

COOL bell

👍👍👍👍

We in the USA are always thankful for Scotland. But mostly for Whiskey and Ale.

Looks like you all had a fantastic time, well done Simon 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great weekend young man, so pleased for you. I can hear the happiness of the weekend in your voice 😁.Re the George III Cartwheel penny, I think you will find it was the Matthew Bolton steam press at the (now defunct) Soho mint in Handsworth (Birmingham) and not James Watt. James Watt invented “anything connected to and worked by steam” so to speak, but Matthew Bolton developed the steam “press” that was used to mint coins. It was subject to a Time Team dig in the 90’s. The one penny coin was pressed into a one ounce blank of copper and the two penny coin from two ounces of copper. As you said they are all dated 1797 as he could not change the master die, so 3 years of these coins were all dated to 1797. I have a nearly mint two penny coin and it’s a monster😀. Hope that helps 👍

So many amazing coins, it just boggles the mind that they have survived through the ages lying in the mud!

Just seen the bronze age bull made the front page of The Searcher, I see a few more thousand subs coming your way 🙂

I miss seeing your videos! It’s been 7 days…..too long!……really just saying how much I enjoy them. Hope you are well

What an awesome event. Happy to see y’all having a great time metal detecting. Blessings y’all, from a fan in Tennessee.

Brilliant videos so nice to see some faces and congratulations to Simon 👏👏well done you all on some great finds 😀

Them bloody buttons!! I will never forget how many I found 😂 bloody things, see you in September John 👍

Hiya from Canada, love what you and the guys do! Bottle digger and human tracker myself for over 30 years so love how the knowledge you share, so wonderful to those of us still learning. I find a bit of metal on accident and now thanks to you can begin to make sense of it. Congrats on the bull, I near p eed my pants on that find, all the way from over here!

Looks like an absolutely amazing few days, I'm totally envious...oh except the cold. Lol We definitely don't have things like that in Australia. Congratulations on your finds, brilliant!

Stonehenge was a badge which given out as part of a scheme to encourage children to walk to school. It is the shape (roughly) of a foot . I think the scheme was called "walk on Wednesday".

Just amazing. The last shot must have been were you was eating that fine meal 😆. I had fun watching this years trip. Keep doin what you do and I'll be seeing you on the next bro

Thank you John for your interesting and hilarious video. Oh my when I think of my first hunts with my first detector and the horror I have now realizing how many amazing finds I’m certain I walked right over. Regardless I know it must not be easy to publish your video while you are on your trip so thanks again for sharing!

WTG Simon! Good job to you all! Any gold finds amongst you all?

Shame you did not find the Stater, so beautiful. Another time we were field walking, using detectorist, the field was L shaped the detectorist were working the lower part of the L. Several Staters were found that day, just beautiful. Wish its was me 🙃😝

Well done lads the long drive from Dundee and back put me off going but well done again

I would love to see you guys let loose on oak island Your episodes are excellent and informative I like how you share your knowledge ❤️👍😎🇺🇸from VEGAS

Fabulous videos! Thanks for bringing us along! I’m wondering if the crescent shaped iron shoe might have been for an ox. It looked a bit small for a plow horse’s hoof. Wonderful to see all the finds! Did they make a video of the finds person doing the evaluations? That would have been interesting. Thanks again…so wonderful to see so many happy people having fun together!

Love crotal bells

I am related to the black Douglas!! 😊

You are using a better detector than those others were and you were more methodical and that makes your hunts better.

The reason we find so many buttons is becouse when we had clothing made of wool or silk or natural fibers when finished with they were bought by a merchant who tore them into strips and bundled them up he would then sell them to the farmers who ploughed them into the ground for 2 reasons the first was the strips hrld moisture wich waterd the crops and the second as they decayed they fertalised the ground , but neither the merchant or farmer removed the buttons or buckles . It also tells you that the field has been ploghed .

Another fab video. The Celtic Gold and Silver coins are sensational. That meal at the end looked very tasty. You did look tired though so hoping you recover quickly. Thanks again for the update. Looking forward to the next one!

Oh my giddy aunt those Celtic coins are beautiful! And so glad for Simon, finding that Eddie, way to go!

Love seeing your channel grow! Keep the videos coming.

Thank you JOHN for allowing me and John to be in your video it was a great meeting the whole team down at detectival well done to Simon too on his hammerd was a great weekend😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love Celtic coins they look like contemporary art, though they are so old. Can't wait to hear about them from your knowledge.

Love your detecting and great historical knowledge, thank you x

Congratulations to all of you !!!!!

Love your videos xxxTracy

What I'd love to see is somebody filming your technique from a distance John. It seems like you have it just right.

What a joyful way to spend a weekend, I'm a big fan of your regular digs in bonny Scotland and this was no less exciting. Such a great bunch of guys youve come across. Great channel ....Great content xxx

Double Bendy thumbs up John👍👍 very nice to see you all enjoyed the weekend 💯

Thanks for all your posts, buddy. I'm glad the weather held out & hope you had a great time. Bless up bro 👊

Yes the Scottish started the Industrial revolution. The were are very smart

Wonderful finds this day! The stew looked delish!

Wish the plugs were like that here ALL is a sandy mess here in Florida. A very nice big hunt.

33:44 looks like a belt tip/end decoration

Loved seeing all the amazing finds. Thanks for bringing us with you! Makes me want to fly over there and give it a go next year!

Thanks for the great part 3 video of your time at the fields of Oxfortshire. Enjoyed it so much. 🥰💕❤️👍

looks like you all had a great weekend and some good finds, the iron piece looks like a part of a tool or something, and incidentally it would be worth your while to collect up decent sized pieces of wrought iron and then selling them as it hasn't been made in decades and is hard come by for blacksmiths, bladesmiths etc

What a great weekend for the Scottish contingent at Detectival!! Another great video John! ¡Enhorabuena Simón! What a fabulous find for the newest Detectorist! Chez😘😘

Nice finds everyone I envy the history you have we have some old coins but nothing like that here in Connecticut USA cheers! Though I found my gold $2.60 in avatar that was incredible my first year detecting

Almost 24k subs, your channel is doing great and still growing.

Please tell the toothbrush guy to make one with the pick on the end of the toothbrush, id buy one but im not carrying 2 tools when you can carry one 🤣

Super

Great finds! It was fun watching and nice to see the camaraderie amongst the detectorist community.

See the toothbrush put a point on the end of it for a poker stick

I missed you guys so much while you were having such fun at Detectorville. I am so addicated to your site. Even my cat relaxes into a good nap on my lap while I watch. Thank you for explaining all the different values of the coins for the Americans in Texas like me!

Wonderful video lots of laughs, and some terrific finds! Congrats on the 435 buttons 😂 Oh Simon 😂 he’s at it again

Love the channels....you ever see a channel called “The Castle Girl?”

Oxen shoe? Perhaps? Great video SIMON! 🎉🎉

I am impressed with your knowledge of all the different coins and tokens you and the other people are finding, totally impressed.

Great videos of your time at Detectival John. Some outstanding finds 👍

😊😊😊😊 love the videos buddy!

well done simon nice find and thanks boys for a cracking video and john well done on 23.7 subs

Oh my goodness! Tasciovanus silver and in amazingly good condition. That's breathtaking to add to all the other amazing finds - including Simon's Canterbury Edward penny... what a ripper! Well done John - loved this series :)

Great video thank you for showing those fantastic finds. Len

It’s official! Metal detecting is a disease. 😂 Some great finds amongst the buttons. 🤩

Great coverage John. Was good to see some of the finds by the other folks too. Big thank you for all the hard work you put into the channel buddy. We very much enjoy it.

OMG those Celtic coins!!! 😍 Wow, wow, Wow! Thanks for taking us along and sharing your knowledge with us. And please be gentle with the worms… they do such a good job 😊

As always it's always entertaining to watch your videos well done

Great video John. Looks like you guys are having a great time. Those celtic coins are amazing. I've never been lucky enough to find one, but, my first hammered coin find was a nice condition, commonwealth half groat. 👍

As always a cracking video, good camera work, very informative , thanks for sharing i know there goes a lot of work into the making of these videos.

🤣🤣🤣 Hilarius even a blind hen or Simon can with supervision from John Find a hammered! No gold but a nice Trip anyway 4 hammered😜🔝❤️

😂 Muy bueno Simon! 🎉 That’s a great find 👏👏 The item Sneaky Pete found at 32.52, the little decorative thing… I think I found the other half to it somewhere else?! Brilliant video and so good to see the fun had at Detectival.

Great weekend dig mate and amazing finds,, and that tickled me when you said they calles in sick 🤣🤣 im gonna heas up and cut off that bendy thumb i need that for alot of the crap ive found the last 2 days 😅

As ever great video again nice you can show the land at Detectival nice Lizzy Hammy you got and the crotal bell

You got quite good at digging plugs efficiently! A great outing altogether! Appreciate your sharing with us, i know we slow you down. Stagger home to your own fioelds: bet it will be good to see them!

I really enjoy your videos! It is true that great signals are missed…. Low and Slow finds the target. I would love to be part of a group hunt like Detectival 2023. Unfortunately I am not vaccinated and am banned from public transit. Great video! 🇨🇦

Great vid as always, loved it. Let me offer a different take on buttons. They were FANTASTIC at sewing. Say an average of 10 people working that land lost only 2 buttons a year for 300 years......... 6,000 buttons, Great sewing man !!!!!

i got a nice Charles 11 half penny about 5 meters from where you first stood in field 4 Jon, it gave off a screaming 94/95 on my D2 and i thought i had silver, as a few silver Danari's also came out of field 4... turned out to be a copper half penny which i thought was odd? I struggled a little in field 4 on the hill were you got the first shotgun cap, i haven't detected yet in such heavy iron contaminated ground which i think was masking some good signals in between, learned some more things about the detector though, a few settings tweeks etc so not all that bad

looks like they made a horseshoe into a hoofpick? Which is more interesting than just a horse shoe.
