- What a day. Finally I got in the medieval gallows field known locally as hangman hill! Witch butnings, hamgings and public stockade for centuries!! 🧙♀️
Never been detected and it produces 800yrs of history!! 🤩

I'm all the way over here in Tucson, Arizona. Who'd have thought I'd enjoy so much watching a guy digging around for old coins in Perthshire, Scotland? Look forward to your uploads all the time! Thanks for the entertainment and information.
Much appreciated and thanks for the kind words! See you on the next dig!
I'm in Tucson too but I grew up with the Cahokia mounds complex so this fits
I am just a bit north of Tucson. Really enjoy your finds and history lessons.
The item just before 5:00 was the type of fasteners that IKEA uses to build their pieces.
love this channel, not just metal detecting, but history lesson too, thank you again,
,
Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you are enjoying! Best wishes and see you on the next dig!
Sitting in Wisconsin , surrounded by several feet of snow , enjoying watching your content . The variety of coins and the history of same is amazing. congrats. Can't wait to see more . Thank you for your efforts explaining different finds , fascinating
I’m in Wisconsin too! Yup a balmy 30 degrees

@@HanstheTraffer who knew there would be so many cheese head fans of history and a gentleman from Scotland
@@ellenzadalis1801 There should be a lot more ...excellent channel.
@@HanstheTraffer totally agree! I’ve shared with many friends, the sense of history blows my mind, my family homesteader back in 1854, so 1300s? Blows my mind
Incredible imagining the hands these coins passed through to eventually being lost.
It's great to watch and listen to a knowledgable and sensible detectorist who doesn't jump up and down and act like an excited kid in a fairground when he finds something old and interesting. Top man.
Never knew they grew broccoli in Scotland!!! Your coin "crop" was better though🤣🤣 Love the variety you found this trip! This is one of my FAVORITE channels and I get as excited as you when these gems come out of the fields! You have earned all the great increases in your subscribers!!!🥰🥰🥰
The wealth of knowledge you possess with regard to Scottish history and the background information for many of the items you find truly brings your detecting adventures to life. Nice work and thank you.
Thanks for the kind words John from one John to another! Best wishes and I’m thrilled you enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to post!
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. Woohoo…you just keep on gaining. 19K subs, 8 months ago, and today, 11/16/23 you’re at 36K. Amazing growth…and well deserved. Looking forward to this adventure…and many more. Yep…another TRIPLE SILVER day of detecting. Sweet. Blessings, John, from this old man in Tennessee. 40:03
@4:36 is a cam lock, typically used in assembling IKEA furniture...
Maybe from early Scandinavian invaders 😉
Haha Vikings introducing IKEA haha 😂
Another Wisconsinite watching! Thank you for taking us with!
Much appreciated and I’m glad you’re enjoying
Those Oak seeds would be acorns😊 Love your history lessons based on ancient coins, nice haul. Eerie being on Gallows hill😮
I prefer to watch the cleaning and see the item emerge into view. Great finds and excellent video! Thanks for bringing us along!
Yep me too 👍
Thanks! I’ll take that on board. Much appreciated
Yay my day just got better 😊 love your channel , haven’t been able to get out and dig this week as the weather has been rotten so iv been catching up on your previous videos to keep the itch scratched 😅
Many thanks Nellie and happy hunting when the time comes!!
8mins 40 secs...recognised it within seconds. Thats most definitely a Royal Artillery Capbadge. My father served with distinction between 1953 and 1975 with the RA and today would've been his 86th birthday. i
Incidently, he served with a Scottish RA regiment in what was known as the lowland gunners
Thanks for that Rossi. What a coincidence! Glad you enjoyed
I love watching your videos and the explanation of the coins etc that you find 💕
I adore the history lesson and the brilliant finds, congrats on 19.5 subscribers
Much appreciated Ellen. Delighted to hear you enjoy!
CONGRATS on the exciting new permission!! It looks like it was worth the wait. Fantastic coins & griffin button! We are still under Winter's snow & ice and you help to relieve our long wait. We love the Deus 2's! 💌😍
So pleased that you’re smashing it, always look forward to your content. Very best wishes 👍
Yes! 41 minutes and 30 seconds of bliss 😊
Glad you enjoyed Terri. I think I had almost two hours of footage in total, tin can after tin can but sniffed out the good stuff in the end 🥳
Hailing from Central Oregon here. Nice haul for this video. Myself, I would consider digging all the trash as the price of admission to getting to dig the field.
Yeah you’ve just got to pick through the trash to get the goodies!
Congrats on the 19.5k subscribers!! Definitely the best channel for not only detecting but the history that you tell is about on each find. Being from Texas and working in England I’ve got the greatest opportunity to find some of these amazing treasures, just a day ago I found 1561 Elizabeth 1 Milled sixpence. So keep up the great work John!!!
Wow, well done you! You’ve the best of both worlds! Happy hunting
Another great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work and look forward to another little history lesson next time 👍🏻
Love the history, and the accent. I was so excited when you found the hammered coin! Elizabeth the first, freaking cool.
Great historic field to be on and great to see those silver hammered bits of history being brought to life again!
Much appreciated Pauline. Glad you enjoyed and see you on the next dig!
That's been a very good one again 👏
For sure, there will be more to find 👍🏻🍀
One day silver danaris, the next hammered and milled silver as well as hammered copper and old pennys. The history is amazing and your knowledge is incredible. I’ve learnt more about Roman emperors and British monarchs in the last 18 months whilst following you than I ever did whilst at school.
Congrats and well done. Thoroughly enjoying the journey you take us on.
You make me laugh! I enjoy your history lessons and the amazing finds. Those darn rocks! You really need a finds box…😁
Thanks Dyane! See you on the next dig!!
Awesome finds on your new permission field. Thanks for sharing the gallows video look forward to more.
Many thanks Marc. See you on the next!
We love the hammered coins dont we! Always good when they come up in good nick. Great vid pal 👍
Thank you Sir some wonderful find's coming up thanks for sharing
This has been another really interesting video, thanks to your interesting running commentary. Love all the history.
The gallows field was worth the wait 🙌🏻amazing hammereds and starting us off with your without a doubt medieval ring pull 😉 and those oak nuts 😂 better known as acorns 😂 well done see you on the next
Sometimes my brain doesn’t quite work as it should Jennifer 😂
Another great day John! Will be a great spot for more to come! Thanks for the ride!
Much appreciated thanks Greg
How. Awesome. Enjoying from Oklahoma. Well done!
That Edward coin was gorgeous. Crazy the condition it was in
Your channel was recommended after watching some aquachigger content. Specifically, finding American colonial and civil war stuff. Watching you find the actual old stuff is absolutely fascinating!
Can’t say I’m not excited for you as you are to detect your dream field!
Thanks Matt much appreciated
Love love this channel. I'm in Alabama and have never been into metal detecting. I found you by accident and I'm loving every minute of it!! Keep them coming!! ❤
🙋♀️ 🇬🇧
JOHN the seed of a oak tree is a acorn . Love your channel.
Ahhhh! Of course it is Karl. Thanks 😊
I had to chuckle at that..."Acorn nut" Well...that's what it is.
Wow you guys are so lucky to find ancient items. Here in the states you be very lucky to find a civil war item.
Thanks Bill. We have great fields but this area is rich in history going back millennia
@@thescottishdetectorist I dont know any place that you can great videos ( from you) and free history lessons. TY
I enjoyed watching the cap badge come to life as you spritzed it. And I'm sitting in Seattle Washington USA. I think Americans are so interested in your finds because we have relatively little history.
Many thanks Carolyn, hopefully more great finds to come from this field!!
4:38 Flatpack furniture cam bolt. (Normally cheap chipboard)
Aha! IKEA… of course!! Well spotted
Excellent, where is my popcorn!👍👍😉That something at 4:41 is from Ikea!!! I have turned so many of those to lock shelves etc into place!! Nice work putting a better image of the coin you had found but with nothing discernable on it 👍👍 Yet again your previous explanations of coins taught me to recognise George the Fifth before you told us.👍👍 The Griffin button is a nice find. I am not going to comment on the silver. I don't want to spoil it for others, holy ****!!!
Thanks Al 🍿
you beat me to it! Definitely a shelf holder thing from Ikea furniture! 100% not medieval but still a torture device!
@@MsVictory1945 🤣🤣👍👍😉
Wow some fabulous finds there, I've just discovered metal detecting in the last 12 months and love it even when it's cold out.
Glad you are having fun! It’s a great hobby! Happy hunting
Thank you! For taking the time and putting in the effort in making these videos!
You deserve all those subscribers and more... you do a good job.
Much appreciated. Delighted to hear you are enjoying. Thanks for the kind words
I just came across you today & I am so happy I did! I use to love watching Time Team or anything discovering the past.
Also doing my family tree and discovers I'm pretty much half Scottish.
I've shared you with another couple of people that will love your content as much as I do. Much love from Australia x
Much appreciated Jody and welcome to the channel. You’ve a fair back catalogue to get your teeth into!! See you on the next
Very enjoyable to view your video ~ thanks for sharing with us!
Hello, from California. First decent day here in a week. You really help me fight cabin fever when I can’t get out. Thank you, I love your videos, I’ve learn a lot about your history.🥰💕❤️👍
Thanks Terry
4:43 is 1/2 of a fastener used to attached cheap, pre-fab pressboard furniture together. Usually a "pot metal" compound. Known as a 'Dowel bolt screw" Quite an odd find for a field. Beaut of a lot of hammies! Wonderful!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I love your digs! I would love to learn to detect, but in the US we don’t have the rich and ancient metal history as England and Scotland. We have a lot of Scots immigrants in our state though. 🤗🤗🤗
Brilliant dig, thanks for sharing your adventures.
I’m a new subscriber and can’t wait for more sunny weather by you I hear summertime is beautiful there.
I like how you give information on the site and when you find things makes watching even more interesting.
Love you videos ❤
Welcome to the channel and thanks for taking the time to write. Much appreciated and thanks for the kind words
Congratulations on 19.5K subs!🎊🎉
Great finds today, those hammered coins are fantastic.
Many thanks. Another great day and another great permission
Just found your channel on my feed, I love the bits of history you give to your finds to add context, I am a now a new subscriber and I look forward to looking at your previous vids.
What a great day's detecting! Please leave in the skooshy water bottle bits, it's good to hear your reaction as the details are revealed!
Will do! Thabks
I like seeing the clean up and sharing the reveal 🎉
Thanks! I’ll keep it in future
Well done on Edward 1st and I live hearing all the histories, so interesting to learn new things from you.
You can rattle off royal lineages but struggle with acorns 😆 Love your content - you’re so fun!
What a great day for you, John! Well done! When that Long Shanks coin was unearthed I was delighted for you! I'm also glad you didn't have any Jammy Swines with you!
Haha 😂 thanks as ever James and glad you enjoyed. Hopefully more to come!
Really enjoy your digs! I left Perth for Australia with my family in 1957, but the history keeps me connected to the place I love best.
Much appreciated Jenny. See you on the next dig!
Thoroughly enjoyed this dig, and the time you give us to enjoy the coins and the history makes your videos the best. So glad I found you and get well soon 😊
19.5k now, you doing brilliantly, keep up the vids i enjoy watching the history unearthed
Much appreciated 🤩
@@thescottishdetectorist it wont let me share a link to that livery button for you
I'll be out detecting in Somerset this weekend, I envy you your ploughed, easily diggable land, mines all long grass at present!
Happy hunting!! Hope you get a big Celtic gold stater!!
Slowly catching up on your videos after a wee Op I had.. Love this video as I've recently got permission on a registered Gallow site and wasn't sure what kind of stuff I could potentially find. So this video has been very informitave m8. Thank you so much for sharing 🤜🤛
Another outstanding hunt ! Looking forward to the next . Congratulations of the subscriptions !
Many thanks IDD much appreciated
You Beauty !
Love your channel
You inspired me to get my own detector. I’m just waiting for the snow to melt and I’ll be out there digging up old beer cans 😂
Glad to see your channel is doing so well and I can see why. Well done, love your knowledge base and what a fantastic permission 👋👍
Another awesome video John, keep them coming
Thanks Lyle. See you on the next dig!
Oh my, Edward I, incredible!! The Elisabethan hammered silver is a killer find too. Your Latin is quite good. I'm impressed. Also appreciate that you don't go off on religious tangents when explaining the history. Short and sweet. Seems like this new coil is really cracking for you. No matter where you go, your are always on interesting, unique, and historically significant finds. I can't wait to see where you take us next. Thanks. Cheers. 20K by St. Paddy's Day!!!
Thanks Callie. Glad you enjoyed and you think I’m getting the balance right!
Very true about the bottom of the field. A spring is also a very good place Never seen anyone so lucky with the hammered, you find them every where you go. Love that Elizabeth 1
Just spent a few hours detecting here on the west coast of Canada. Oldest coin was from 1959. What I would give to be there! Great channel. Keep it coming.
I'm sat here a 20 minute drive from Canterbury imagining the thousands of medieval hands that penny passed through to be lost at a Perthshire hanging!
I found a medieval coin calculator that estimated the purchasing power of that penny in 1300 in today's currency was about £3.00.
Still enough to have made you look for it when you'd lost it.
What a nice handful of history! Congrats on 21K subs. Excellent channel!❤TN Nana
Congratulations nearly twenty. You will soon be there. Another fantastic haul. Royal artillery cap badge. Fantastic condition hammered's . How many Romans do you have towards the hoard now. Looking forward to the next outing on gallows hill . Many thanks for your excellent work and tuition. See you on the next. Wasp and Helen 🐝
Much appreciated and thanks for the kind words as ever! See you on the next dig!
Just signed up… from the great state of Ohio. Mum was born and raised in Falkirk, and she still has a strong brogue after living in the states for sixty years, so I really enjoy your accent also. Love watching you dig in ground that was alive 2,000 years ago, if we pop a coin more than 200 years old we think we have something special lol… but a funny thing, last year I uncovered a hammered silver British Half Groat, not in good shape the plow has had its way with it. With the help of Crusader from Treasurenet, we pinned the date range 1505-1509. Love the channel!
John on his way to the gallows. For witchcraft and sorcery with a “Peepstick”.
Oh oh those hammered coins….. beautiful.
Has it occurred to you that maybe, just maybe you could have found some payment for the hangman. 😮
Ooft 😮 I hope not 👻 🪓
@@thescottishdetectorist 🧟♂️
nice one again John
Thanks again! Glad you enjoyed
amazing video and super interesting field i cant wait to see more of what this field holds.
Being a fellow metal detector over here in Canada, I am loving the selection of coins and history you find! And the wife loves the accent!

@@harleygardner283 oops auto-correct got me haha
Great content, exciting finds, wow. Thanks for bravely digging up the stones for treasure while suffering from your cold. Get well soon.
Many thanks Cate. Much appreciated
another great video john bad start good finish tho nice coins
Thanks as ever Alan
4:47 🤣🥳‼️ That’s a fitting for joining panels of MDF. 1970’s and newer 😖👍
Haha 😂 I realise now…. IKEA written all over it haha 😂
Well done bud, some beautiful finds there, I’m from Highland Perthshire, some ancient history up this neck of the woods too, Roman , Jacobean ,all sorts. Keep up the great work, subbed up and many thanks for the history lessons 👌
Thanks Roddy. Perthshire is the cradle of civilisation! We’ve got it all!!
I love all your videos and your finds and explanations of the history
I’m watching from Surrey British Columbia Canada
Great video! Fun to watch! 😎👍🍀
I just discovered your channel and im really looking forward to watching your other videos. Such cool finds. With personal connections for me. My husband is from Perth so I’m very familiar with the history of the area. I’m supposedly related to the Boleyn family according to some intensive family history digging several family members have conducted. And my Dad is from Canterbury, where the final coin was minted.
Fantastic John, congratulations on your amazing finds 😘chez in Lliria Valencia Spain 😘
Gracias Amigo!
Awesome find keep up the great work. London Ontario Canada
Thanks Joe. Glad you enjoyed

How do you remember all these dates of kings and queens? Very impressive! I love your channel!!!
Woohoo nice find. Good luck on your next Hunt.
You inspired me to restart my detecting hobby.
Excellent and I hope you’re having fun!!
You are so lucky, how is that not a scheduled monument, the only Gallows hill near me is protected unfortunately, so no detecting on there ☹️. Nice finds and love your knowledge of the history 😁
The cap badge is of the Royal Canadian Artillery regiment. Great digging again mate!
