Virgin fields and epic finds!!! With the XP DEUS 2 

A sound I love… “Welcome back to the fields of Perthshire” 🤩

Brilliant. Love this Channel....a great watch. THANKYOU 👍

Hi John! I happened to discover your latest video ' Hot from the Press', so to speak, and (as usual!) gave you a 'Thumbs-up' (116) prior to settling down with a 'cuppa' to watch your latest foray into "the fields of Pairthshire". Truly addictive stuff just watching you prospecting and sharing with you your enthusiasm for this truly fascinating pursuit! Your accent and your comment "Oh, well..." which you often use when expressing your disappointment when you find a piece of junk reminds me of a very dear late friend of mine, Christina (Chris) Harrison who frequently used this expression as a concluding remark when commenting on something she, herself, felt was in some way disappointing, so I am reminded of her every time you make that comment! I had the great privilege of knowing Chris from 1995 until her death a few days after her eighty-third birthday on 5th January, 2005, and we shared a very keen interest in British history: she would certainly have been an avid viewer of your videos! In a very real sense, our common interest in British history went far beyond that of people whose interest in the subject lacks any personal contribution to that history made by the part they and previous generations of their forebears played in it. In our case, there was an explanation for the immediate and very close personal connection we both felt when we met for the first time at the home of one of her friends which went far beyond what might be considered to be mere coincidence and which, in my view, bordered on the supernatural. As was the case with many Scottish families - and in particular those of the Highland clans who found themselves dispossessed of their land as a result of the notorious Highland Clearances which took place during the century following Charles Edward Stuart's ('Bonnie Prince Charlie') bid - defeated at the battle of Culloden in 1746 - to win the throne of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Ireland (oh, and that hilly bit to the west of central England ) from King George 11 of the House of Hanover and re-establish the line of Scottish kings of the royal house of Stuart, which dated from the union of the Scottish and English crowns under King James V1 and 1st on 24 March 1603 until James 11 was deposed as King following the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688, which saw Prince William of the Dutch royal house of Orange established as King William 111 by the (generally) popular consent of the English parliament and people (well, the English people could only take so much in terms of bagpipes, porage and the Scottish accents of their monarchs, and had decided that 'enough was as good as a feast' and it was about time to look elsewhere - anywhere else but 'North of the Border' - for a king - Chris's mother's sister and her two brothers Lawrence (who was born on Chris's birthday - 17th January) and George Geddes emigrated to Canada in about 1910 and settled at Baudette, Canada - on the border with the United States. On the outbreak of W.W.1. in 1914, Lawrence joined the Border Bull Moose Regiment 141, which formed part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and served for the duration of the war on the Western Front. In 1917, his battalion of the regiment participated in the Battle of Passchendaele (Third Battle of Ypres) July 31 - November 6, that year. Sadly, nine days before the end of that truly horrendous battle, Lawrence was killed - on 28th October (my birthday). During the years I knew her, I discovered that her family history was very interesting, including, as it did, a family member who was a particularly notable character among those imprisoned in the notorious 'Black Hole of Calcutta' in the 18th century (I seem to remember); another who, while serving as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy in the early 19th century, had risked his life by leading a party of sailors aboard a sinking slave ship which, having been intercepted by his ship, while en route to the southern states of America, had been scuttled on the orders of its captain, prior to taking to the ship's boats along with his crew, in an attempt to erase all evidence of his activities. He and his men had succeeded in freeing the slaves from their chains in time for them to be rescued from the ship before it sank. Chris, herself, who was seventeen years old on the outbreak of W.W.2., witnessed the first contact between the Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe in 1939 when Spitfires of 702 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron intercepted an attack by Ju. 88 bombers on the bridge over the Firth of Forth while on her way to Rosyth where she worked in the office of the Royal Navy dockyard. She watched as one of the bombers was shot down into the river and witnessed two members of the public man a dinghy and row out to the sinking aircraft and rescue the two surviving members of the bomber's three-man crew. Returning to what I was saying about your video in my opening paragraph: in addition to introducing each of your videos using your habitual 'reporting live' from the 'fields of Perthshire' greeting, you invariably invite your viewers to provide information regarding finds which you are unable to identify by requesting those who are able to do so to: "let (you) know in the comments below" ('He's a poet and he don't know it' !) Well, going back a month or two ago, in a video you made about a session spent prospecting in a small field at the rear of a farmhouse (I seem to recall), you found two somewhat similar objects: one was a length of thick twisted silver wire which looked to have been from a bracelet, and the other was what looked to be somewhat like a six-inch nail, but with what seemed to be a shallow screw thread along its length. Obviously, this video being several weeks old, you have probably received a number of suggestions as to the identity of the two items, but, just in the unlikely event that you haven't, my view is that the piece of silver is an example of 'hack silver' - so called because it was originally a silver bracelet which - taken as plunder was chopped with an axe and used as a form of currency based on its value as silver bullion. Date: probably Viking, but equally as plausibly Roman - either plundered from the home of a wealthy Roman family who lived in the territory between the two walls following the withdrawal of the Roman Army from its northern-most border - the Antonine Wall to Hadrian's Wall, or following the over-running of Hadrian's wall, itself, in the 4th century A.D. Plain silver bracelets such as would be worn by the wives of affluent people would be impossible to date, Best wishes to you, John, and my hearth congratulations on having racked up such an impressive number of viewers - very well deserved!

Thanks, my Scottish friend. You always make me laugh..bc, you do the kinda things I would do…but not talk about…like slamming your thumb in the car door, followed by tripping and banging your head on the “boot” rear door of your van. Hahahaha. Great content. Blessings.

"George III and his wife, Charlotte had 15 children.....he was a machine" No John, SHE was the machine. A baby machine who was probably pregnant for 25 years....poor girl 😖

Good hunt I really enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

I really enjoy the way you show your find for a long time, turning it over and over. It is a generous way to share the find for your viewers who will never hold it.

Just back from my morning walk and I see your video so I will put off chores for a bit and get a cool drink to enjoy while you detect the fields of Perthshire and I cool down. 👍👍

@4:37 this is the way it should be. THANK YOU. You kept the camera's eye on the target. This eliminates people from thinking you're planting the coins. I tell everyone to watch you, and they come back saying you're planting the coins off camera. I know you're not, but this one is so much better than others. Please keep the camera on the target. Thank you!!

Nicely done, great finds I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

Brett from nor cal, USA. Was in you country in 2007 for a month… your accent brings a 😢. I am Scottish from 150 years back… you make me smile! I told my wife we need to purchase a home in Stonehaven and never look back…

Thank you, wonderful finds and video.

Yes I’am here just in time again. You are awesome with your history of artifacts, I enjoy the videos greatly! Thank you!

Bon pour 50 centimes - means good for 50 centimes (cents). They used to be 90 % silver, and then the Great War changed things. Yours are copper/alloy. Thanks John, I’m a big fan.

Great video as always mate and some lovely finds 👍

Careful out there John! Maybe a helmet and some gloves next time, we don't want to lose you on those dangerous fields of Perthshire! 😆😂❤️

Another great video as always John love seeing the turner's popping out brilliant days detecting thanks for sharing and keep up the hard work mate 👍

Fun fact about lead pipe. The term "cinch" as in something is a cinch, meaning very easy to do, comes from plumbing with lead pipe. The term comes from the saying "it's a lead pipe cinch". To cinch pipes is to tighten them together. Lead being so malleable cinches up very easy. Thus the term "lead pipe cinch"...(The more you know)

One of my kids asked to hear you say garrett carrot today. My impression wasn't enough ! ... 😂

Just got back in with my 9 year old from detecting a Civil War site. Kiddo found a .58 minie and some buck and ball. Tops off a good day for us to come home to a new video from our favorite youtube digger.

Hello from Poland 😉

Not the bendy thumb john nooooooooo 🤣 great video mate 👍

"No pain, no gain" seems to be your mantra for today!!! At least your injuries were minor! Great finds in the soggy Scottish weather. Love your other channel as well, and looking forward to more episodes there. 🥰🥰🥰

John have you heard of an Ogle Castle in England? If yes I'm curious! Great finds today. Thank You for taking us along!

Give the Spaniard some credit at least he's giving a swing 😂. GODBLESS him and you helping him. I think it's all about having a good time with friends bro. When he finds that first big find he'll be in debt to the teacher for you giving him an opportunity. See you on the next brothers and wait and see he's gonna find something extraordinary.

I love your enthusiasm 😁

😫 Damn John!!! Quit the day job and just make videos as I cant get enough!!!! Congrats Sir on another great vid with some very nice finds!!! 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brilliant

Send my Turner to Buxton, Maine USA....😂 great day John

Fabulous finds! Worth almost knocking yourself out for 😀 Another great silver sixpence - good things come in small packages as my Nan would say, I too am only 5ft 😉. Look forward to seeing what you get in the next field.

Fan from Australia here. I’d love to see how you store your finds :)

More great finds and history lessons. So good to see and hear the excitement of the digs. Good luck in the next field! Take care!

Les's wee tool..... poor Les 🤣

hurray john you back

Good as per usual..

Love watching your channel! It has a soothing effect when you open with a shot of the ancient Scottish patch of dirt, it's quite exciting. Each find is a wondrous history lesson and another link to history.

Great finds, I'm interested to learn about the crop markings and other things you were talking about!

wow a very good hunt today. The subscribers have been jumping up fast.

Those were some great finds, John. They give suggestion that there will be many more to come in these fields. Will be waiting for the next video. Cheers from Texas.

Saw a video of the organiser s on FB today driving around the site Looks v nice for detectavile . He did say there's a 1000 acre to go at and not been detected by any clubs. Fingers crossed we can have some good finds. 😊

Only you can make detecting dangerous 🤕😂 what a fantastic field with so much history and finds! See you on the next

Great video again John. Congratulations on 31.5k subscribers👍 Looking forward to Pt 2 in the field with the crop marks.

Amazing finds. What a fun hunt. That soft ground is always a plus? Thanks for sharing!!!

Excellent coin finds! Congratulations! Good finds!😊

Nice coin John, stop at the bar/hospital on way home to take care of your pain, ur choice 🍻

Thank you for explaining where a cartwheel penny got its name.

30.25... "it's got a kinda green crustacean on the top!". Mantis shrimp, perhaps?

Good to see you back.Another good detecting session & good finds again.

Your livery button could be a Sinclair one.its part of the family crest

Good job

Very interesting and informative. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next adventure.😊😊

Great finds good video education thanks again I do enjoy watching

We now have all the information regarding cost of a pint through the ages but… how many recycled aluminium cans in 2023 = 1 pint. Love your work!

Your way of cleaning the finds is great, you can do research in archaeological excavations. Buona ricerca. Udine - ITALIA

Hey John love your videos as always! Keep em coming!! Great finds today congratulations!

Some great coins found today. Congrats.

Not bad at all m8, nice haul

32.2 K & meteor keeps rising.!! Props to you buddy.!! Amazing.!!! Bless up 👊

Great finds John, thanks for taking us along!

Great finds. That French coin is really interesting.

Would you mind sometime explaining ground balancing and pumping the coil? Thanks!

Hi John hope you’re well, I have had the pleasure of following you from the early days and you go from strength to strength, unfortunately you have made me hang up my trusty Deus 1 and I have just bought a Deus 2, I’m still finding stuff but the settings I’m using from other RU-vidrs are all over the place and so noisy between swings, it doesn’t shut up,😢 what setting are you using please especially on this field, I have so many valuable permissions coming up I don’t want to miss any 👍

How excited you sound with the Queen Vic 6 pence! Over the moon! Makes it a worthwhile day. Wishing you successful detecting from the Bahamas (sorry no treasure here).🇧🇸👍

It's going up at EPIC speed... 32.2K before you can even get the video out. Fab finds, awesome history, entertaining video... your time & energy is always appreciated. Cheers fr Pat, Yukon Canada✌😎

Fantastic location with lots of history! You found some interesting coins and a button. Glad you didn't get too soaked!

Looking forward to what you found in the other field.

Incredible. Always anticipate a new video. Thanks

So I finally broke down today and ordered a Deus 2. If my wife ever finds out how much it cost Im sending her to pay you a visit because Im blaming it all on you....hehe.

Great recoveries...sure makes me want to go detecting.....unfortunately, here in Oklahoma it is 102 degrees F....which is about 39 degrees C.......and with the humility (humidity) it feels like 108 F...or 42 C. What was that strange clear liquid falling from the sky there....lol.

Coffee, hobbies set up. Let's go!! Please tell me that you don't drink lager!!!! Your first George III looks identical in condition to one I pulled out last week.👍Cartwheel pennies were made here in Birmingham. 👍👍 Found my first hammered last night John. It is a cut half, but although someone said it was a long cross penny, I think it has been clipped and is part of a Henry VI Groat. It is also my oldest coin by about 400 years!!! By the way, I went out and bought a camera so there is no need to respond regarding what setup you use. 😉Great video John, nice long duration to sit an watch. Hope you are well.👍👍

Such good finds John over a good range of years. Although it’s not an old coin - that button is a great little find! Hope to see you at Detectival and let’s hope the weather is kind 🤞🤞🤞. Could your last find be a piece of shrapnel? We find loads on our permissions so seems Chester was well bombed!

Such a fine day out, despite cracking your head and assaulting the bendy thumb! (50k by 2024!🎉) Best wishes from sunny central upstate New York

Yay watching while eating my dinner 😀

Hey John, when are you going to go back to the Roman Silver field? I just know that there is a hoard waiting to be found.

Another great hunt John! Cant wait for the next one!! I hope Detectorville is just as lucky for you, are all the lads going? (Including Simón? Espero que sí!!! 😉😂) See you on the next 😘😘 Chez

Hopefully not another SIX days for part 2! What was the Epic finds? Epic pipes? 🤣 Wonder how long before new cloth Gone missing?! With John's current luck It could be challenging weather conditions for Dectectorville! Remember April? 🥶 betJohn does! And his Boss! 😜🔝❤️

I thought I saw another sliver of silver in the other clump you through down.

Great video as always, cheers.

Another French coin that onion Johnny must of been busy around Perthshire 😂 great video John

Well done John 😊

Very interesting button.

That French 50 centimes coin, on the Obverse says Chambres de Commerce de France and Bon Pour 50 Centimes, on the Reverse it says Commerce - Industrie with the date at the bottom. I have one from 1922, the year that my late Father was born in Eastern France.

I can only imagine what. A blast a tour with you. Would be ! 10k can actually turn green due to the addetives that are added to bring thepl purity down. To 10%.

So want to walk that field with you, just looking for Archaeology. 🤪

Bon Pour 50 Centimes, Commerce De Industrie ("good for" 50 cents ...). You can instantly tell what the state of the French economy was in those years when you find a 'coin' like that or better still the aluminium ones from the Departments or Regions. The French are very pragmatic & in times of great hardship they still needed coinage but without necessarily having the resources to make the usual quality ones & also needed a more insular/ local economy. There are 50 & 100 Franc coins from the mid- late 1940's I find. At first I thought how upset someone must've been to loose 50 or 100 quid (!) until you think a little... it's light weight & it's small ..you then fully understand that back then 1 Franc did not buy you much at all. Bon chance, bon continuation.

Maybe Richards?

Mate. Love the videos, please can you say " purple burglar alarm" for me would make my day 😂😂

Congrats on the 32000 subs!

The hoard you found could amount to a persons weekly wage as they varied from just over £1-3

Richards & Edwards for the button. The 'gold' coin says Bon Pour and will say 'commerce industrie' on the other side. For some reason sellers are asking £600 - £700 for them

Great content, just a shame about the ads every 2 minutes. 😩

For those that don't know, the Scottish "Turner" coin is 2d (two pre-decimal) pence. Charles II from 1663-1668, on the reverse, thistle side it says NEMO - ME - IMPVNE - LACESSET or in English No one shall hurt me with Impunity. On the Obverse side it says CAR - D - G - SCOT - ANG - FRA - ET - HIB - R. or in English, Charles, by the Grace of God, King of Scotland, England, France and Ireland.

"Plasters" are Scottish for "Bandaids". hahahaha I think your ancestors were throwing coins down and saying, "I can't wait to see John's face when he finds this one".

Indiana Jones had a few bumps and scratches

Hi John Just had a wee thought, if you had a wee camera pointed at the screen attached to the handle of your detector, you could have a screen in the corner so we could see the display. Just a suggestion, feel free to tell me to "hud ma wheesht" I'm no expert.

Can you show a bit of the crop map next time?

Vitamin B supplements are helpful with brain signals. Might also hedge against coin dropping. I'm feeling much better with the B Vitamins I've been taking.

👍👍👍👍👌
