My first ever gold coin metal detecting! 

Welcome to the gold coin fraternity! It's exciting when a gold coin pops out. That first one will always bring a smile to your face. Congrats!

20 years paid off nicely this dig. Congrats brother - it’s a beauty!

Damn good luck, looking at the condition of that coin I'd at least say it's around £450+ nowadays, if I were you I'd keep that puppy safe and treasure that find :p

Wow wow wow congratulations on your finds. A GOLD coin that’s amazing. 🌻🌻

20 years toil, to get your eventual reward. It was great hearing the excitement in your voice. Bless up bro 👊

The badge is the Ceylon planters rifle Corps badge it was a reserve regiment based in Kandy Made up of Europeans that were tea and rubber planters of Sri-Lanka. Congrats on finding your first gold and a blighter of a gold it is.

Hello from Texas! Maybe your find at 5:51 is part of a spoon or fork handle?? I was excited to find your channel. I have been to Scotland twice and I truly have a great appreciation and respect for everything about the people, history and the most beautiful countrysides and castles I have ever seen. I am excited to see what all you find. Take care and happy hunting. :)

A day littered with SILVER 💥 and GOLD 💥 🤩 love it 😊

That's the coin your dad planted the day before so you would find lol

The 1939 shilling would be 50% silver. I remember the 1970’s in my teens getting into coin collecting and even then, post-decimalisation, regularly coming across sixpence, shillings and florins from pre-war years in general circulation - they were probably barely worth more than face value as silver prices were obviously very low. How times change - now they are treasure waiting to be detected and re-discovered. Thanks for the entertaining video and congratulations.

There is nothing like finding a gold coin, is there? Good on you, man! I know the feeling from 10 years ago like it was yesterday. You will never forget it. Congratulations!

Great find,i had the same reaction with my first Sov,Viccy 1872

What a great hunt! All those copper George V's, and you hit that gold ½-sov, and all of a sudden you're happy to see him! Great video.

Hello hunter. Greeting from Albania. You have nice hunt.

Beautiful coin, perfect condition, congratulations!! 21,000 views n all wow!!!

Congratulations on your first Gold coin in 20 years, I've been detecting for 6 years now, hope I don't have to wait 20 years cuz I'll be 80 by then. Great video

The 1939 shilling is composed of 50% silver and 50% copper. The second silver is a sixpence and is composed of sterling silver 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.

Grats, Scottish brother :) Splendid little gold! I´m still waiting for the "dandilion". Hope not 20 years... :)). All the best! Greeting from CZ.

20 years of patience rewarded! Have you researched the history of this permission? With all the ordinance artifacts and the timeframe they are from, I have to wonder if this area was used as a military training ground.

That’s a beautiful gold coin. 🎉Congratulations🎊 from Southern California, United States of America.🥳👍🏻✌🏻🇺🇸

That’s an awesome find! Congrats 👏 Was really feeling your excitement and was great, the way you uncovered it, with so much suspense! Well done. Let’s hope your next gold coin doesn’t take another 20 years! Love your videos. Thanks. From Australia 🇦🇺

Congrats. I hope I don't have to wait 20 years for a gold coin. I've only been detecting for 3 years her in Canada. Wish I could detect in Scotland. So much history there.

Well done mate what settings do u use on your gold max

i worry that the accuracy and efficiency of your equipment, combined with your thorough knowledge of most finds, makes this game less fun?

Now that's why we go out detectoring top job brilliant find. Subbed you as well.

Love your channel mate, would love to see a vid of your greatest finds so far

Congratulations! That’s very exciting and what a beautiful coin

Great detail on the shilling! Clearing the dirt off that gold coin must have been a rush. Looks like it’s fresh from the mint - Keith

@ The Scottish Detectorist, Nice Finds, especially @ 19:25/27:43 with Digging Up a Gold Coin known as a Sovereign 1914 King George V. Excellent Job with the Find.

Great video and absolutely delighted for you with the gold coin after 20 years, that's dedication my friend. Love watching your adventures keep them coming. 👍😁

That is absolutely awesome gold coin that you found I found a couple of gold rings and I’ve had the same feeling come over you when you find gold it’s so awesome well congratulations just subscribe to your channel because it was interesting take care can’t wait to see some more what you pull out have a good one out for now

Well done, I found the Earl of Glasgow's Gold cufflink which at the time was exciting--and he got it back.

Being in North America, i wish we could find lovely coin like your finds.

Really nice gold there. Great condition. Thanks for sharing.

What a brilliant find a nice half sovereign congratulations great video

gorgeous condition!

Well done..that feild is a bloody treasure chest

The gold coins have the most desirable attraction and we never know how much gold will rise to in 20 years. 20 years ago gold was near 400 per oz now its well over 2 grand an oz , how about in 20 yrs??

Stumbled across your channel today, I'll be looking forward to more videos. Also beautiful gold coin, top notch 👌

Martins find is also part of a mills grenade. It's part of the fuse housing. Your find is the base plug and usually blow out complete during explosion. Great vids! Really enjoying.

Wonderful gold coin! Well deserved after 20 years of detecting! I found a 6th century gold coin just after two years of detecting. And now seven years later, I still have just one! 😄👍

Wow, congratulations that must be amazing. This coin goes for 600$+ but I’m sure the memory is priceless.

How beautiful is that landscape! Good video Cheers👍

Wow! Nice find there mate.

Wow ! What a great find ! ,Great job ..Just subscribed

Cool as a cucumber! Congratulations. Beautiful coin

It's a heartbreaker when you find a rather rare coin in a field that's been destroyed by a farmers plow shear.. . Nothing to be done to restore and rescue one of those beauties...., Literally ruined for any serious collector... Breaks the stoutest heart...If it's gold,st least worth melt.... A silver coin... About the worth of a pint....Intact!!!! A completely different story.... Good hunting...👍

Congratulations on the gold! But a question... being in the U.S. I'm still a bit confused by the whole legal aspect to all this. Since this is gold what is the rule? Can you keep it or is it taken by the crown? Does it just have to do with how old it is or is it just gold... woosh off to the government? I pray you got to keep it. How about a hammered gold? Might be nice to do a video for we fans across the pons so we can get a better idea of what is a keeper, what, at least potentially isn't, etc. I'd love to detect over there some day, no idea if it will ever happen, but be nice to know what, if anything I find I could keep.

Congratulations on your first gold coin.

19:17 CONGRATULATIONS you have FOUND a gold coin👍✌️🪙❤️🪙

Well done on your first gold coin.. and so many silvers too.. lovely field..

What a beautiful gold coin well done John.

Brilliant video John, your photography skills and commentary is fab! So special finding your first gold coin. I only occasionally detct now but found my 5th one 2/52 ago and it was a queen Anne half-guinea but you can't beat the buzz it gives you. Well done my friend. Andy

Judging by bent coin I think farmer hit cash bag or box or stashed cash or cache . But you need do the whole field by looking at where bent coin was found and gold coin as that be direction plow was dragging it OR PASSED over the stash and dragged up sack bent it . So look right there but dig deep

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT SAVES!!!! Congrats on the Goldie!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 cheers fae 🇨🇦

Awesome find my friend, congrats on the gold, new sub right here 😊, check out my gold coin i found last week, Norcal

Just subscribed, Excellent. sw🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Congratulations! I was yelling at the screen like I had found it. I wonder if a well off family lived there with all the silver and gold. George V certainly is gorgeous in gold.

Congrats on the gold well done, the cap was a protection for the detonator housing which contained the detonator, fly off leaver and safety pin once that cap was removed.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE FIND A GOLD COIN. I SUBSCRIBED FOR YOUR CHANNEL. IN WHICH PART OF THE UK IS THIS?

Thank Clod u mean🥳👍🤣

Congrats on the gold. It's a lovely find. I appreciate trying to be gentle with it to protect from scratches but i'd have moved the dirt off gently with my fingers rather than use all the water. It's been in the ground for a long time with machinery moving it around. I think it can withstand gentle mud removal :-)

Absolutely jealous of the way your coins come out of the ground. Our copper coins are destroyed. I'd love to go on a tour of Europe and just metal detect all day long. Gold coin was beautiful.

I don’t understand why coins are in the middle of the field? Have you investigated the historical history of that field ?

Wish I had a metal detector.

Congratulations on the gold coin!

That's a great coin 🪙 👏 👌 👍

Do you think,them coins were hidden in that field and over the years the plough has moved them about?

That is a beautiful coin ! Congrats! You earned it fir sure. Stay well and happy detecting!

My ma, used to boiled potatoe water she found old coins she throw them in the water t, then run some water, to clean the soil with out Harming the coin! Wonder if she's right,

Brilliant mate congrats on gold coin bucket lister great location & finds 💙🇬🇷👍🏖

You've probably been asked before, but why are there coins in a crop field?

Congrats on the gold it seems to me that the land you are detecting on at some time must of been a military training area during the First World War and pre 2nd World War I bet the guy who lost that gold was gutted as it must of been a lot of money at that time

Honestly, if I found gold or silver I wouldn't be posting it on RU-vid. The tax man cometh.

Curiosity ,, Is it just a plain 1919 ---- or ----- 1919 H ----- or ----- 1919 KN ---------- Coin collector -- Vancouver
