MEDIEVAL or ROMAN? I think this EPIC find has been waiting over 800 YEARS to be found! 

Possibly very old bookclasp? Nice find my friend.

Yes, please give us an update on the silver object…I’d be fascinated to find out what it actually is! Cheers, and ATB!

The silver piece looks to be hammer-made. The uneven surface dimples are percussive marks? Very cool.

The silver piece made me think of a book closer locking bracket.

Keep us updated on that mystery silver! I’m very curious to hear what the museum has to say. I absolutely loved The Detectorists!

That piece of silver is very interesting. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!!

Awesome silver piece, a buckle, a weight, a musket ball, button and a few lovely coins make for a wonderful day out. Thanks John.

Looking forward to learning more about that piece of silver

Great vid and more incredible finds!! Congrats and hope the silver piece is another fabulous find !!! Always enjoy! Thank you for another great video!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What an amazing silver find! Thinking it’s really old! Can’t wait to find out more about it! Hope you are well. Have a great weekend!!

Cant wait to hear what the museum says about that silver... Hopefully you will share that with us.. I know you normally do. interesting designs and I bet its medieval due to the crudeness. Congrats again for such wonderful pieces of history you are recovering!

😊 Great photos on your Facebook site! I hope the tourists have been good to you. They must have had an amazing time with you. ❤❤

Yes John I think you definitely have an ancient relic in that silver plate, really interesting and lm looking forward to you finding out what it is. A few other good finds but I think they were an added bonus today to the silver.

It is amazing to stand there holding history in your hands ! 🥰🗺 Nice finds.

Your back, awesome to see you John , I just found a gold ring with my equinox 800, always nice to find gold

John, your annotations on the period of each coin/button is fascinating! I’ve watched since the beginning and never tire lof learning about history. Thank you for sharing your professional expertise with your viewers.

What a great fun day in super weather & special finds. Hope we learn what that piece of silver is - how curious!!! Thanks for taking us along.😊

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Happy to see you back out in lovely weather, detectorizing again. That’s a nice Silver find. A strap end makes sense…definitely mid-evil or pre-historical. Cool.

Nice piece of silver, looks like the end of a belt maybe.. always looking forward for more vid's cheers 🤠

On it john 😀💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice finds John. The coins and cup weight are nice finds, the silver is great, and definitely decorated. It will be interesting to see what you find out about it. Cheers from Texas.

You’ve inspired me to plant carrots in my garden this year. Only treasure I’ll find is some carrots later this year, if I’m lucky. Nice day for you today, coins and silver. 🥰👍👍

Thanks John and Yes a really good day out 🤩 That silver piece does look like it been attached through the holes to something, I recon quite an age too 🤞It’ll be interesting to see what FLO says about it, please let us know. Plenty of other good things too John despite what you thought to begin. Those coins apart from one are in nice condition. Looking forward to next time you’re out. Not tried Jethro yet. 🙂

Chuffed for you!!! Excited to hear what the museum says about your silver find!!! I didn't have any idea that there were even Scots in WW1!!! So sad there were so many casualties 😢😢 This is the best detecting channel for sure!!! Love the history!!❤❤❤

Wow what a find! Love the hammered finish to it and all the decorations. Has to be mega old for sure! Look forward to hearing what you find out about it.

Nice to see you out on the fields! It's about 100 degrees here... I'd rather be in Scotland! But then I'd almost always rather be in Scotland!

Oh I’m going to have to come back here to see if anyone was able to identify the silver ‘strap end’. Very intriguing. The carrot fields are full of surprises. Thanks John, been missing your adventures, but I know you’re incredibly busy and also not many places to detect at the moment.

Another awesome find John thank you for sharing with us. Have a great rest of the evening.

Great finds John. Have a cold frosty beer, you deserve it. Cheers!

I just love your videos mate! The Scottish brogue is awesome. Wishing you all the best, stay dry and thank you from Ohio in America. Than Jethro for me- I used a Deus 2

Excellent video, great finds❤

Great finds in such an short time❤👋🇫🇮waiting to hear about the silver thingy👍

Recent subscriber here! Love watching and listening to you 😊 Greetings from southern Portugal!

Hi John,Thats real old,love the coins.

Cracking silver buckle/strap end John. ... fantastic find 👏 👍

Fantastic to see you out again bro.! So glad the weather was good & you had a successful day. That belt / strap end certainly looks like it's got serious age to it.! Excellent find !! Bless up 👊

Honestly at first glance, that piece of silver looked like a piece of scale mail(armor). Until the museum says otherwise, I will believe my imagination 😂

Well done! Please let us know what the museum says abt the silver find. Greetings from Oregon, USA

Great video! That silver piece could possibly be a pendant.

Truly an amazing find and a great day!

Thanks for the video. Nice finds.

I’m not any kind of expert on any finds in Europe but I keep thinking a piece of armor. Some kind of scale armor piece. I guess it’s headed to the museum.

That silver piece that has lines and characters, could be phases of the moon and a way to keep track of days like a type of calendar.

Absolutely BRILLIANT Silver item (guess is something to do with a sash) LADDIE!! Cheers fae Canada. Hope tae attend Detectival 2024 in Sept. and meet you if you are attending.

That unidentified silver piece has the markings of being hammered. Have you identified it since? Beautiful! Hello from New York!

Well done Jocky nice finds once again👍

Well done John! Great work!

cool you found silver

That silver is a particularly wonderful find. Congrats!

Hello John, it looks like you got a fair collection of items on your outing. Have a wonderful weekend… John

Brilliant 👍

The hammer marks in that silver piece are very distinctive John. Maybe a clue to its age?

I'm going with Iron Age on that silver piece. The design looks crude. It looks like something that would be hooked to a garment. Can't wait to find out!

Glorious day !

That weight was deffo a Victorian drug dealer, half an ounce my man

What a beautiful silver thing you found! Hope you find out more about it and let us know. Someone said book end, and I could see that.?😂

Very lovely ship's design on reverse of the George VI half penny . I have always enjoyed looking at these. What ship is it supposed to be a generic ship or one is known ? Thanks .

Nice finds! Silver! A wee persons metal vest! 😂 hope to hear what it might be.

Incredible find John! Definitely looks very old. Middle Ages I’d think. Off to the museum with that one!

Brilliant 👍👍👍

I reckon the round bit on the end of that silver could’ve been a circular hole into which a clasp may have slotted through. The strap would have likely came out of the side with the rivet holes. Whether the other end of the strap had a metal, wood or just was plain leather, I couldn’t say…but it was likely rubbing on the circular shape as it slotted through the hole

Pictish....Best Martin

I think its one scale of scale mail armour. Maybe some part of a neck protector on the back of a helmet ?????

looks like medieval hand worked silver to me very good find.

Hopefully the siver proves to be a great find. How long do you have to wait to show items to the museum? Would you consider doing a video of finds the museum has positively identified?

Could your bit of silver be a piece of Roman armour - the lorica squamata?

Thanks for the video. Very intriguing and rather beautiful silver relic. Please share any info gathered. Thnkx

The silver incised strap is really incredible and no telling what it is or was.

oh, I so want a real Gothic Victoria!

So excited !!! 7 days is too long

Nice piece of hammered silver. I hope you can find out what is is and let us know.

The holes on the silver thing seem to be unfinished. The top hole looks half rounded so, perhaps it wasn’t meant to be seen or made in a hurry. Book clasp? Box or chest lock ?

Buckle plate maybe john 🤔

Cool hand John lol

I feel it's a book or bible catch. Nice hunt John. Good to see you out. Get your wife something nice for standing her up 🎉

Even 2000 years ago people were excellent at working metals, so this example of silver might be either earlier than Roman or not actually decorated and marked through use etc.

👍👍

Actually that mic is a lot clearer

Looks like hammered silver

Hey John. I am curious. There are newer technologies and apps that allow you to scan the sizes and shapes of things like furniture and shoes. It would be great if you could use (maybe develop) one of those kinds of apps to help identify the finds. I know that many of the finds are fragmentary or squished but then there are the ones like at the 9:00 mark than are complete. Is there some app that may perhaps give some answers? Anywho, kind greetings from Los Angeles!

The beavertail is on my bucket list 😂

The dots on your silver strap-buckle piece look reminiscent of viking decoration. Actually think it's more likely to be Bronze Age. Stonker of a find.

the lovely silver find is clearly handmade. Looks to be very old.

Are you allowed to keep all your finds or do you have share them with the property owner? Thanks for the video.

👏🏼

Looks like part of book clasp item w 2 holes

I get the impression that it looks hammered. Looks old to me!

Possibly a church token? My husband thinks there are some like it in the Perth Museum.

Antediluvian silver? I hope so.

The holes on the silver thing seem to be unfinished. The top hole looks half rounded so, perhaps it wasn’t meant to be seen or made in a hurry. Book clasp? Box or chest lock. Nae idea.

That silver piece is crudely hammered to shape. The dents are too irregular to be very modern. The whole piece is crudely made. Maybe the museum can tell you.

Is it me or does the silver have the same kind of circle marks as the ingots you’ve found before?

John are you on any rallies this year buddy

Do you have any good programs for Nox 800 saved link or something to it? Good job, i really like to follow your videos nice finds.

You got hammered silver... just not the shape you're used to looking for!

Have you ever hunted kinoull hill? And the tower area

Hi john that blue middle balance thingy on ur tector is it beneficial 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Don't lose your 'carrot' amongst all the others, John. Then you'd need a carrot detector.

The ships haepenny that was minted the year my late husband was born.

In my imagination the silver thing is a book clasp for an anglo-saxon monk's psalter, self made from silver coin that he beat out, and with fastenings of leather thongs rather than metal. This is just my imagination about it.
