Return to the 1000+ year old church with the XP DEUS 2. Amazing! 

I love the fact that John is up on his history of Kings and lore!

Definitely.​@@gregorybarr6112

25:40 is a can opener from British Forces Ration Pack. That’s why you find them all over the place. A serviceman used that to break into a tin of something like corned beef! The old tinned rat packs are a distant memory now but we all had our favourites and our dislikes!

Many thanks Peter. Often I use ‘bottles of wine’ in my present life too 😂

​@@thescottishdetectorist Mars bars are a great inflationary marker.

How many pints does a litre of petrol cost?

@@eileencarroll6418 af today's prìce comparison about 1/2 pint of beer for a litre of petrol.

@@eileencarroll6418 lol was going to figure it out till I realize I don't understand british pricing at all

I _KNEW_ I'd seen one of those someplace! (I grew up on a farm, eons ago.) Thanks for identifying it; I'm sure John will appreciate your ID, too! 🤗

@@dixietenbroeck8717 I had seen those cups on very old U.S. Navy ships and Coast Guard Cutters, museum items and such. Even what used to be in Light Houses around the United States, motor and control arms for items, all needing a continuous slow feed of oil. I still see oil cups on old tractors in my neighborhood these days, collectors items and show pieces.

Great day. The fact that you are over 28K subscribers is testament to your gift to us.

Amen 🙏 thanks pirate 🏴‍☠️ always good to know where you came from! Many thanks

Much appreciated and thanks for the kind words Maryanne

Many thanks! Much appreciated

@@thescottishdetectorist forgot to give you my 2 cents worth on that little hinge thingy. Maybe a clasp off of a book when books had clasps and locks.

I find humor in us Americans We find a hundred year old coin and thats ancient to us Over where you guys are its has to be from the twelve century to be considered old I'd trade metal detecting areas with you .

@@ramonvillarreal4347 it is always a pleasent surprise when Green Mountain MD pulls up a Connecticut colonial half cent from just before 1800 or when the Quarter Horder lads pull up Spanish Reales to be fair. These are coins we would never see in the UK and I'm sure would make most UK metal detectorist's equally as green eyed with envy. It's out there, only, America being soooo big just means you have to work out where they were back then with a lot more certainty than we have to in the UK. We've had layers and layers of history piled up atop each other. Plus, fields are about some of the oldest features on our landscape. As such, you can pretty much guarantee that if you start poking around in one, you're likely to find something. Fields in America are massive and likely are a result in the main of relatively modern industrialisation on the other hand. As such, the chances of your guys being able to do the same are incredibly slim.

Haha thanks Stacy. Glad you enjoyed and welcome to the channel. I’ve an amazing back catalogue and don’t miss the Bronze Bull from earlier this year!!! 🤩

Beautiful area

Many thanks! Sounds amazing, I’ll go have a look!!

Many thanks

Thanks so much

The black Douglas was a borderline psychotic I think…. Fortunately he was on our side 😂

​@The Scottish Detectorist thats my ancestral uncle, he has a good reputation down this way 😂 seen a ring with similar pattern but gold,

Posey ring was it?

Hi Sheila. Yeah it was just too hard on the wrist and not helped by the huge coil…. But can’t wait until it’s cut!! 😂

I am sorry you are held hostage by the haze. Is the smoke dropping temperatures or effecting crops? Stay safe.

Many thanks Edward

Thank you so much John!!! Sorry it’s taken me so long to acknowledge I only just realised I can filter donations in the comments!!!

It works perfect and they come up great..

Aha! Thanks Keith!

Many thanks Alan. Anything of age I’d reported to museums and they then decide wether to keep and display or give it back for my collection. Thanks for the kind words also and glad you’re enjoying. Channel growth is amazing too!

Thank you so much!!! Sorry it’s taken me so long to acknowledge I only just realised I can filter donations in the comments!!!
