You know it's an amazing find when you are speechless. Don't apologize for having a genuine reaction to a find. That's why we love to watch your video. Right now I'm suffering through a cold, but this video put a smile on my face and lifted my spirits. Congratulations John!
OMG! What a coin!!! Nice one John 😀Never apologise for being excited by a find!! I'm sure everyone here will agree that we were all almost as excited as you!! Well deserved find, Happy Silver Anniversary again!! 🎆🎇🎉🥂Slàinte Mhath! Yiamas!
@thescottishdetectorist so welcome! Was a joy to watch 😍 Glad to have been there. Always great to learn about different coins too. Here's to the next discovery 😎 P.S. How many beers would it have bought you? 😂
I bet he was drunk and tried copying the teenagers chucking the lead seals to see how far they could get them, and then he realized what he'd just done. The idiot! I bet his wife just killed him. I bet he never told her, though.
Hahaha 🤣 I almost needed a medic as you’ll see. I’m not sure why I revert to a five year old boy on Christmas morning when I get an epic find…. But I do 🤪
Gongratulations mate on finding a beautiful stunning coin. As you said its for moments like this why we do this hobby. Really well done mate on finding a truly crackin silver coin.👏👏🙌👏👏
🤑 You deserve it John!! Nobody on the internet deserves it more!!!! Congrats on a super find!!! What a video!! Absolutely gets the blood flowing!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was just incredible, John. If I ever find anything that old, I will have the same reaction, especially since the chances of that happening here in Texas are really slim. Cheers from Texas, and may the detecting angels bring you more great finds soon.
I couldn’t be happier for you John, your calm demeanor and true excitement are palpable. I will just say, I wish I was there. The current behavior of my fellow Americans is shameful, I can always come to the Scottish Detectorist to lift my spirits, Thank you.
Stunning and extremely rare Merk/Mark John - See if there is a mint mark below Charles bust - looks like a small thistle rather than a letter 'F'. If so it's a Type II. 2/3 of a pound Scots- also the value of a unit of land. At the time pretty much the same value as an English shilling but much rarer. Never seen one in the flesh. Congrats!! Truly awesome and valuable but best of all, it's Scottish silver!!
You’re awesome. Yours is the best reality show ever. And how fantastic that Martin came to see your coin and The Hoover Boys helped id it. You’re a lucky man John. Happy Anniversary and here’s to lots more great outings on the fields of Perthshiire. 😉
You're awesome! Great history teacher, great, tour guide, and a very exciting detectorist!!! I really love how composed you are when you find a stellar item 😂! Thank you for taking us all along with you!!!
I must say that you've got an amazing find there! Though I must add, that CC on that coin is not only limited to English monarchs. I know more about Swedish coins since I find plenty of them here in Finland. Here I've found Charles XI 5 öre silver coin with the same CC and I know for sure there exists coins for Charles XII and Charles XIII with the same symbol in them. I have no clue why it is a europe-wide phenomenon on valuable silver coins, but interesting fact nonetheless for Carolus named kings. Edit: Also, Charles XI reigned from 1660-1697 but first 12 years were his mother's regency. I have found a 2 mark coin from 1669, which looks very similar to your coin apart from the other side, where instead of mag etc. It has 3 crowns, date, mintmark and 2 M. My coin reads "CAROLUS XI REX SVECIAE". After he became of age, his coins began using "Dei gratia" in them. Additionally, only "big" coins had the portrait of the king in them, while smaller silver and copper coins usually had a coat of arms, lion with crown, or something like that in them. It wasn't until 1809-1818 that the monarch's portrait started appearing on the smaller coins as well. Though after 1809, Russian coins became much more common, as previously they had only got into Finnish soil with Russian troops during wartimes.
So happy for you John. Your reaction was priceless, I couldn’t stop smiling. Beautiful coin and well deserved. The other finds were also interesting. 🎉🎉🎉
Hi John, phenomenal find and ensuing excitement, fancy finding silver on your silver detecting anniversary, it was obviously meant to be, well that certainly recharged your batteries, I'm cuffed for you, cheers and cheers again !!!!!🥰🥰😘😘🤗👍👍👍ad infinitum 🥃🥃🥃
Thanks so much. I know, I’d love to know the story and my goodness what a loss. For a skilled person probably 2 weeks wages maybe more and for a labourer wow…. A month? Maybe more?
Well, not much we can say that hasn't been said! The goodness you showed the Hoover Boys came back around. It all comes back around! Much love from South Carolina, BTW, Peggy's sister just became a new Subscriber!!!!!!!
Well done John! Your love of history and your hobby is so warm and palpable. History is very close to my heart too, so I feel the joy in yours when you find such wonderful and amazing relics of times gone by. I absolutely love your channel; I look forward to every new video. Congratulations on finding that beautiful coin. I hope you enjoyed the wee dram. Happy 25th! All the best. Simon 🥃👍🏻
Without a doubt, one of the best metal detecting videos out there. Made my day to see this coin rescued! Such an incredible history . And to think 25 year anniversary… Oh and the boots deserve a bit of praise too.
Aw, how exciting for you, what an incredible find. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your excitement and was sad there was no one there for you to get excited with, but thank you for filming it and for sharing it here with us. YAY
It’s gorgeous!!! Not sure if it’s the lucky snazzy new boots or kissing all those coins but it’s working for you! What away to celebrate an amazing 25 years of detecting with a great rare find for you! 🍻
I looked up the coin online and found one for sale (website is Baldwin's) similar condition though the year is legible - 1673 - and it is priced at 750 pounds. Well done! I mainly enjoyed seeing you so happy.
Oh what a find and I LOVE your reaction when you find “a good one”! I’d just poured myself a Royal Lochnagar 12 year as I started to watch, so I’ll join you and toast to your success!
Blame John to make me celebrate! With a 23 year old Rhum Ron Zacapa From Guatemala. Gongretulations with That lovely dishy Coin. Happy 25 anniversary. Winther is coming also In Scotland☃️☃️ Albert and John has To struggle a bit🥳😜🔝❤️
That coin transported me back to a time of my imagination. All the years it spent in that field to be found again. What a story. Good job John, enjoy. :)
Great find John… I have a similar one but since you pointed out the centre mines has vl with 8 underneath so will have to investigate further cheers as always 😀👍🏴🏴🏴
13:44 Kudos for the Airplane reference (at least, that’s where I know it from!) that first field was quite dry in spots, even sandy, you might say. I started geocaching over 20 years ago…though I’m not active now, my gps is always in the car. That is a stunning coin!!!!! I liked your outro…sitting back on the couch with a celebratory scotch. Well deserved. Cheers, and ATB!
That field just went from 'The Boot Cleaner' to 'The Incredibly Rare, Beautiful Charles II Silver Merk Bucket-Lister Coin Field' Quite a mouthful, but wow, quite the coin !! 🤩 ya done good
Congratulations on your superb and fortuitous find, an absolute beauty. Like you had never heard of this type of coin so thanks for sharing this epic find and best of luck in the future, though you will get it hard to top this one.
What a way to mark an anniversary! Congrats! I did not know that they started milling during Chuck 2. The coin is a doozy! Spayside is okay. I love peated whisky. They are hard to find in Texas.
You know it's an amazing find when you are speechless. Don't apologize for having a genuine reaction to a find. That's why we love to watch your video. Right now I'm suffering through a cold, but this video put a smile on my face and lifted my spirits. Congratulations John!
I love the history that you provide for us and also the excitement over that Charles 2nd silver coin! Congrats John!
OMG! What a coin!!! Nice one John 😀Never apologise for being excited by a find!! I'm sure everyone here will agree that we were all almost as excited as you!! Well deserved find, Happy Silver Anniversary again!! 🎆🎇🎉🥂Slàinte Mhath! Yiamas!
Thanks Tanith. What a feeling and what a club, glad you could be there with me!
@thescottishdetectorist so welcome! Was a joy to watch 😍 Glad to have been there. Always great to learn about different coins too. Here's to the next discovery 😎
P.S. How many beers would it have bought you? 😂
To think that somebody, centuries ago, handled that and dropped it when walking across that very ground. Mind blowing.
I bet he was drunk and tried copying the teenagers chucking the lead seals to see how far they could get them, and then he realized what he'd just done. The idiot! I bet his wife just killed him. I bet he never told her, though.
Quick, call a medic. John is lying down.
Hahaha 🤣 I almost needed a medic as you’ll see. I’m not sure why I revert to a five year old boy on Christmas morning when I get an epic find…. But I do 🤪
It always makes me smile! When you do! Lucky new shoes John!👍@@thescottishdetectorist
