I saw on a history program that cities in earlier ages had people who shoveled up the streets (dung human or animal, trash etc), the mess was taken out to farmer's fields which could explain why such strange things can be found out in the middle of nowhere.
@@thescottishdetectorist dear friend, these things digged out of ground, they can be dangerous and harmful for your thin soul feelings and attention, especially that bronze bull head it looks scary, it can be a religious artifacts were used for spiritual rituals. That is very serious, not only figure of ancient metal
Hey up John, just switched on to the site and I'm so thrilled by your finds,I think that the ring is a ladies by the size and probably Celtic aswell best regards Jeff
The workmanship of that bucket handle attachment is mind blowing! That bull is beautiful. I am looking forward to hearing the reaction of the archeologists.
Amazing finds!! I wanted to throw my idea out there that the smoothed stone was actually used as a tool medieval manuscript writers would use. Stones were used to smooth down parchment or vellum in order for the surface to be thin and ready for writing on. Old monastic sites often have a scriptorium, where the monks (often the only people in the town community who could read, write and translate books) would make copies of books everyday. This would explain the decoration on its top, as this tool would be very important to the men of the church. Looking forward to an experts opinion on it!!
@The Scottish Detectorist What colour is the stone with the cross edged on it? Does it look like a local stone? I thought it looked a green colour (difficult to tell on the video), similar to the green pebbles that you find on the beach on Iona that St Columbus first stepped ashore on. I have some of the pebbles from that beach..
Congratulations for this find of the Iron Age Ochs. This is real history. Coins silver or gold any age are history as well but you can’t compare it. History is this kind of finds. This finds pull you back directly. To be honest I never found gold, same silver stuff, coins different ages, also Roman. Two years ago about this time within a forest I got a signal 19. Maximum depth. Under a root . I took me about 15 minutes to get it. When I took it out of the ground I looked straight into the face of Pandora. I was shocked and scared. I found, I don’t know the exact description in English. But it was a medallion from a legionaries. They had a kind of breast protection, showing the ranks. It is about 2300 years old. So what I want to say. This is the history what we are out for. Again my congratulations ❤.
They didn't start faceting stones until roundabout the 1500s. And they were roughly done to start with..Big Congrats to Albert for his Stunning find. It gave me the shivers in a good way when I saw it ....It is Beautiful. I'm sure there will be some more epic finds to come. So come on John i'm rooting for you 🤞
What a great find. It’s reassuring to know that in a time where everyone is clambering fit the latest multi frequency machine, the VLF AT pro can find such a beautiful artefact. Well done.
The fact that you're on top of a hill that possesses a very high water table makes it an ideal settlement site. Good sight lines in all directions so defendable in times of strife with easy access to water (Just dig a hole and there it is!) Also lots of water is needed when making metal goods. So it's looking like you've found a defendable settlement with enough of a water supply for metalwork. It needs a ground radar study done at the very least!
The horse pendant looks as it goes with the so called furniture fitting that was found later. I think it is the frame it would go in. Great video as usual 👍
Thank you for the update so far on these magnificent finds from last time! I just got goosebumps again watching this, and I can't begin to imagine how you must have felt on the field that day. I also can't wait to hear what the museum has to say about it. It's really so exciting. Actually, the bull or ox head reminds me of an aurochs, the now extinct ancestor of our modern day cattle. There's even a Norse rune, Uruz, which means aurochs. It's an animal that would have been around, if your find is indeed as old as you believe. The long, slim nose and the very curved, long horns make me think of this animal, even stylized as this beautiful piece is. And congrats to the new finds. That ring is awesome, too! If I were you, I'd now have the urge to rob the farmer of his field, set up a hut there, and go digging non-stop each day. 🤣
@@Tseringlhatso Hmm, online it says, the aurochs has gone extinct in Britain about 3000 years ago. Not Britan, but the last individual apparently died in Poland in only 1627... There would, of course, also have been hybrids between the aurochs and other domestic cattle back then, which could have created breeds that looked much like this find.
Hey up . The big tractor related part is a PTO shaft connector ,fits on a spline to the back of an tractor and goes to an implement .PTO = power take off shaft. Very nice ring John .keep up the great work . My mind is blown with the what is an amazing piece of history ( Bronze what looks like Oxen, bull or cattle head ) ,much more to come for that I am sure guys .Regards H😉
@@thescottishdetectorist From my online research . Looks like from an Iron Age Bucket Burial. The Bucket being wood with wide bronze sheet bands around it. The bucket would contain the remains plus valuable objects like brooches and bowls etc. You need the Hoard Hunter on that field to find the rest of it.! 👍🏻
That ox has my imagination going wild. I am absolutely no expert (but it makes it exciting!) It looks both sorta Viking-ish , like the boat dragonheads and also has similarities in design to some african animal head masks designs. Incredible.
Another awesome video guys! "If it is what I think it is and I think it is...."..hahaha,🤣 But @25:12 That flip!! I love the finds and really enjoy the history lessons along the way, thanx again!!

Taikuu Gentleman for enduring the cold and wind to give us another video. Epic finds don't come every day but this is the way of detectors. On to the next...
Thanks Del. Much appreciated. We’ve had a great run and there’s another belter find coming soon thanks to Sneaky Pete…. Everyone else bar me getting the luck these days 😂
I didn't comment on the Minie' ball you found because it is a pretty common find for me. I hunt a lot of American Civil War sites. I would dare to guess that the ball/bullet came from a Lee-Enfield model 1853. That rifle had a bore of .577 caliber and used ammuition with a .550 caliber. Still can't believe what Albert found. I'm blown away. Cheers.
Thanks for the input Callie. I think I’ve maybe had two before, though I think Albert got one a few months back. An incredible calibre of bullet! Thanks for the info, much appreciated and yes an epic find from Albert, I was blown away
Congrats on finding that old ring John! Metal detecting is such a rush and so relaxing....one never knows what the next signal will be, hey?!! Mike in sunny Florida
Just happened upon your channel and I really like your delivery. So exciting to be included in all you signals. One thing you might not know is that a small, thin piece of something cut or split off a larger piece is a sliVer not a sliTHer (that's what snakes do).
Welcome to the Channel E b happy to have you. And thanks for explaining, my whole life I’ve been calling it a slither 🐍 what an ass I am 😂 Enjoy the other videos, and don’t miss the previous one of the bronze bull discovery, it’s the greatest find I’ve ever seen in 23 years
👋Hello, I'm a new sub from central Yukon, Canada (Klondike Goldrush country) & I'm just now bingeing on your older vlogs. Cheers to more great discoveries 👍
About your garnet ring find... You might try asking Cliff (from Australia) who has the UA-cam channel 'Vintage Time'. He's a stone cutter who knows a bunch about the craft. If he doesn't know when they started actually cutting gemstones, he can point you in the right direction.
I understand that we all get excited when we have a find of any significance. Calling it the most significant metal detector find ever in Scotland? Bit presumptuous considering that you haven’t called a museum yet. Please pardon my wet blanket comment. There aren’t words that describe how tingly my bits would have become if it was my “Top Pocket” find. Thank you a thousand times over for being such an honest man and reporting your find. No telling what May come of it mates. Great stuff all around.
Hi John 👋 Definitely looks to have some age to the ring, great find. I think you're right about the pendant Albert found too. Great finds 👏 👏. I'm still spreading the word about your channel 👍
I see you’re on your way to 12k! Well done, John. Which museum have you notified about the Celtic bull? Any museum would be absolutely thrilled to have it. Of those I’ve seen online (bronze bull head bucket mounts) none are as beautiful or ornate as Albert’s. The ring looks medieval in style. :^)
We notify Treasure Trove tomorrow… they don’t work weekends! Lucky them 😂 then we’ll see what they say! Hopefully it ends up on display in Edinburgh and I agree I can’t find a single one online that’s even close to that quality 🤩
I’ve just finished watching the bull find and glad to see another post for me to watch. I don’t suppose you have room for an Aberdonian for a day or two do you? 😉😉
@@thescottishdetectorist nooooooo!!!! You can't make us wait that long after teasing us like that John!! Get it posted now!!! Pleeeeeaaaasssseeeeee!!! 👏👍😂😘😘😘😘😘😘
@@thescottishdetectorist I look forward to it, found my 1st cut hammered yesterday so I was well pleased with that, makes a change from the kilos of lead I normally find 😂
Haha 😂 it isn’t always like this but we are on a run that’s for sure!! Perthshire is the cradle of civilisation in Scotland, or at least that’s what I’m always saying!! 😂
Just watching your video and you mentioned wet knees - where’s your knee pads?! Still can’t believe that Ox head has been in the ground that long, amazing. Good luck with the museum 🙂
If you getting cold hands then get on eBay and buy a pair of neoprene paddle boarding gloves- total game changer! Loads of grip, very comfortable and warm hands. Clean up easy in muddy conditions . Mine were £20 and would not be without them.
I find your videos really entertaining. Great finds and always well explained. Thank you very much for that! What I would like is that you turn up the detector so that the viewer can hear the sounds better! Greetings from Germany! Carsten
Fantastic Bull find! Can't stop watching it! Amazes me as to how they made them when life was so primitive then! As to your Ring John @TheScottishdetectorist I have many rough Garnets found by Si-finds mudlark, on the banks of the Thames in London, they all vary in colour, some are so dark they actually look black! they're believed to have been used as some sort of ballast on the ships. Anyway I hope you're ring cleans up well and it turns out to be ancient. Well done! And well done again Albert on your beautiful Bull! 👏👏👏👏👍👍😘😘😘😂Chez in Lliria Valencia Spain 😘
@@thescottishdetectorist can’t wait too watch the next video! 😁 I once found a silver English coin at a site where a English plane crashed nearby in ww2 the coin was pretty bend and from 1942 The best thing about the hobby are finds with a nice story behind it!
Behind the stones can sometimes indicate dates, I believe Saxons? foiled behind precious stones, not on the stone but on the base that held them in place.
You should watch some of the earlier Aquachigger episodes. He's awesome at explaining 1800s bullets as he detects a lot of early American sites. His technique for pin pointing us excellent too. He rarely uses his carrot except in the water. Just handfuls over the coil, really fast!
Thanks Pauline great info, I’m intrigued though because I thought the Sutton Hoo garnets were faceted and they’re what 8th or 9th century…. I need to do more investigations
Where you pulled out that triangle fragment of copper, I hope you went over the spoil once it was out. Because, ....... pretty sure I saw a thick, maybe 4mm x 12mm diametre, coin poking out. Looked obvious on the footage.
Without giving anything away, was this field a village once upon a time… just curious how there’s such a wide variety of items; bullets, military buttons, lead seals, coins, knives, ancient sculptured bronze pieces.
Still raining in California... your videos are helping to keep me sane..almost.. the medieval horse pendant is interesting to google. And now I know how Albert is coming up with these: he is a time traveler and remembers where he dropped them! 😂
Hope you're managing to stay dry n safe! Very cold wind here in valencia Spain, today, it's currently 11.35 and 14° but the wind chill means it feels like 3° !!! Which is cold for us!!! Hope the rains move on soon! Much love 😘
Wamted to mention that it might be worth looking on very old maps for sies of ponds streams bogs. eic, Offerings were made to water in ancient times. Like some people still do throwing a coin in when crossing a bridge or in a well for a wish
Many thanks, it’s interesting you say that because in pre-history this whole area would have been bog or wetland, but found on a raised terrace. We believe there’s a village or I’ll fort here
@The Scottish Detectorist I live in Kilsyth and when I was a waen I found a iron age silver arm band in tact near the battle of kilsyth site ..I didn't know what it was and cut the head off it (it was a serpent) and made a ring of it I only discovered its significance when the Internet came about.
Another great video. We zoomed in on the ring and my partner (who was a jeweller many moons ago) thought it looked more like a ruby than a garnet. But that’s thru your camera to my phone so the colour could be distorted.
I saw on a history program that cities in earlier ages had people who shoveled up the streets (dung human or animal, trash etc), the mess was taken out to farmer's fields which could explain why such strange things can be found out in the middle of nowhere.

BOYYYY YOU LUCKY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did indeed! 🤩
A stylized Auroch even :)
Whoop whoop 🥳
the triangular pendant fits in the triangular frame , its a horse terret , late victorian
Much appreciated Mark, many thanks
I find your videos really entertaining. Great finds and always well explained. Thank you very much for that! What I would like is that you turn up the detector so that the viewer can hear the sounds better! Greetings from Germany! Carsten
Danke Carsten und wilkommen zu meine Channel 😆 happy to have you watching!!
Holy Cow, Albert has found a hot spot
He has indeed! 🤩
Fantastic Bull find! Can't stop watching it! Amazes me as to how they made them when life was so primitive then! As to your Ring John @TheScottishdetectorist I have many rough Garnets found by Si-finds mudlark, on the banks of the Thames in London, they all vary in colour, some are so dark they actually look black! they're believed to have been used as some sort of ballast on the ships. Anyway I hope you're ring cleans up well and it turns out to be ancient. Well done! And well done again Albert on your beautiful Bull! 👏👏👏👏👍👍😘😘😘😂Chez in Lliria Valencia Spain 😘
Much appreciated and best wishes to you
Congratulations on 11k bud, well deserved.
Much appreciated
A metal ring is always a great find. Whether it's metal or new, old.
Amen, still undecided to an age, but certainly doesn’t seem to be iron age
Well done again on your ring I was out today but nothing to shout about.
Sorry to hear that next time maybe!
Beautiful ring. Garnet is my birthstone.
Many thanks 💎
Greetz from Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Love your video’s!
I search too since I was 6 but never really found that nice stuff compared in England / Scotland 😍
Greetings. I found a coin from the Netherlands today! Will be up in the next video. Glad you enjoyed and happy hunting!!
@@thescottishdetectorist can’t wait too watch the next video! 😁
I once found a silver English coin at a site where a English plane crashed nearby in ww2
the coin was pretty bend and from 1942
The best thing about the hobby are finds with a nice story behind it!
Behind the stones can sometimes indicate dates, I believe Saxons? foiled behind precious stones, not on the stone but on the base that held them in place.
Keep us updated on the relic wants to know what the museum has to say
Will do! Going soon and they are already very excited 😊
You should watch some of the earlier Aquachigger episodes. He's awesome at explaining 1800s bullets as he detects a lot of early American sites. His technique for pin pointing us excellent too. He rarely uses his carrot except in the water. Just handfuls over the coil, really fast!
I used to do it that way in the old days but don’t like getting my hands dirty 😂
Faceting first started in the mid 15th Century it says on an online search. Stone is beautiful in that ring. Great finds !
Thanks Pauline great info, I’m intrigued though because I thought the Sutton Hoo garnets were faceted and they’re what 8th or 9th century…. I need to do more investigations
@@thescottishdetectorist could be natural facetting..garnets can come like that.
if the carved stone was for working a material surely it would have wear on 2 sides, im going with the touch stone idea.
I like your thinking!!
“A Mole with a Gold Tooth” 🤣😂🤣
Those god damn moles 😂
Where you pulled out that triangle fragment of copper, I hope you went over the spoil once it was out. Because, ....... pretty sure I saw a thick, maybe 4mm x 12mm diametre, coin poking out. Looked obvious on the footage.
Doh 🙄 I’m pretty sure I scanned the hole, but I hope I didn’t forget 😆
Without giving anything away, was this field a village once upon a time… just curious how there’s such a wide variety of items; bullets, military buttons, lead seals, coins, knives, ancient sculptured bronze pieces.
last find looked like som sorta rivet , mideval armor? or plating of some kind
I'm in New England and I'd like to find a tree coin...can you send Albert over for a few hours 😂
Haha 😂 I’ll rent him out
Still raining in California... your videos are helping to keep me sane..almost.. the medieval horse pendant is interesting to google. And now I know how Albert is coming up with these: he is a time traveler and remembers where he dropped them! 😂
Hope you're managing to stay dry n safe! Very cold wind here in valencia Spain, today, it's currently 11.35 and 14° but the wind chill means it feels like 3° !!! Which is cold for us!!! Hope the rains move on soon! Much love 😘
You, too, Agueroooo, we probably have similar climates. I usually don’t turn on heat but only add a wool sweater.
Full half, I shouldn’t complain. We just aren’t accustomed to so much rain. Best wishes
Many thanks and best wishes for better weather
Wamted to mention that it might be worth looking on very old maps for sies of ponds streams bogs. eic, Offerings were made to water in ancient times. Like some people still do throwing a coin in when crossing a bridge or in a well for a wish
Many thanks, it’s interesting you say that because in pre-history this whole area would have been bog or wetland, but found on a raised terrace. We believe there’s a village or I’ll fort here
Hill fort even
Lovely ring
Thanks Anne. Off to the museum in a few days!! Can’t wait
Amazing discovery's congratulations
The "drawer handle" could it maybe be part of a spur
Thanks Paul. The drawer handle type thing the museum thinks is actually part of the pendant from a horse apparently? 🤷🏻♂️
@The Scottish Detectorist I live in Kilsyth and when I was a waen I found a iron age silver arm band in tact near the battle of kilsyth site ..I didn't know what it was and cut the head off it (it was a serpent) and made a ring of it
I only discovered its significance when the Internet came about.
Another great video. We zoomed in on the ring and my partner (who was a jeweller many moons ago) thought it looked more like a ruby than a garnet. But that’s thru your camera to my phone so the colour could be distorted.
Many thanks Suellen
The cutting known as faceting gradually developed from the first attempts in the 15th century, probably in France and the Netherlands.
Thanks for the info 😯
