  • In this video we are back on the historical fields of Perthshire in Scotland hunting for buried treasure with the XP DEUS 2 metal detector.
    It never fails to amaze me just how many coins and relics people could lose in the past and also some of the bizarre things that we manage to turn up long lost from history!
    This field continues to produce the weird and wonderful and I’m sure there will be some more silver to come on future detecting days.

      I think it is a lot more interesting than he thought. Definitely pre reformation, so medieval. These were often connected to pilgrimages and may be connected to a saintly relic (In this case an ear). This may have been an Ampulla and contained holy water, that part being the destroyed hollow section. The second possibility is that it was a votive offering to be left at the tomb of a saint, in this case to seek help with an ailment related to the ear. Deafness perhaps or infection. Either way a wonderful little thing!

    Happy birthday John! The Scottish Horse Regiment was initially raised by the Marquess of Tullibardine. In 1902, the Duke of Atholl organised two regiments with the headquarters at Dunkeld. When the 1st and 2nd regiments were preparing for WW1, orders came thru that they wouldn’t need the horses as they would be part of a dismounted landing in the Mediterranean. They were stationed at Ellington, Northumberland, when orders were given to make their way to Morpeth some eight miles away to catch the train to Seaham on the coast south of Newcastle. Given the 310 horses bar two were shipped the day before, they had to beg borrow and steal whatever horses they could from the locals to transport their gear to the station. When they arrived at Seaham, 2nd Scottish Horse was already there with ancillary units. Due to lack of proper designation of assembly points for each unit, the luggage for all the units including saddles for the invisible horses were stored in the holds of the waiting ships. This was a problem when they needed to get stores out of the holds. Some soldiers never saw their kit again. On 1st September 1915, the Scottish Horse Regiments arrived at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli.
