- Another day and another phenomenal metal detecting adventure.
A return to the carrot field with the XP DEUS 2 to investigate ancient crop marks reveals a potential village lost since the medieval period or even the Iron Age 2,000 years ago!
Let me know what you think about the crop marks and the finds. With less than 5% of the field detected so far there should be some amazing treasure discoveries still to come from this field!!

It's always nice when John's preview starts with him lying down. Thanks so much for taking us along on these adventures, John! Amazing looking crop marks on that field.
Well,I’d have to have a lie down after those phenomenal finds! Clan Bendy Thumb for the 🏆 (50k is sooo close 😊)
Never gonna get tired of your opening monologue, you never know which one your gonna get..." welcome back to the sunny, rainy, windy, frozen fields of Perthshire
The copper ‘medieval coin’ looks like it says ‘CLUB’, doesn’t it?
Another fabulous video John with the finds to prove it!! Congrats Sir and can't wait till you return!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What an amazing day with all those brilliant finds, the excitement of those was palpable, thanks so much for sharing, cheers!!!
Let’s go let’s go treasure and adventure 🌎🌺✌️🎉💕🇺🇸👵
awesome day John ,that is a great field. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent day John!! Hard work pays off!!
Amazing field. Can't wait to see what else you find there.
That Roman silver was unbelievable!
Congratulations John. I love your excitement👍👍
A John on the ground day. We are in for a treat.
You have every right to be a happy Scotsman. Love your videos keep them coming thank you.
That 1928 coin was minted the year my mother-in-law was born. She will be 96 on July 5. She watches your channel with me here in Richmond, BC
Aww 🥰 thanks Dawn and love to you and your soon to be 95yr old mother in law!!
John starting with a lie-down is always a happy sign and the elated smile is the next sign we are in for a special watch. Thank you for sharing your rewarding digs with us!
That is such an interesting ancient site , and some epic finds .Votives are often associated with wells and water .Good to see details of crop marks and boundaries ,and last but not least ,John on his back !😂
I love a video which begins with John lying on the ground... This is going to be a good one!!!
John! That truly was a great day for you, and for us as well. Carrots 🥕 make dreams come true. 😊 Looking forward to your next turn on this field. 👏
Silver! And Roman silver! Wow! How safe are those carrots for eating if they have been side by side with lead?!?
Wish I could come and help you dig carrots!🥕 I’m jealous and happy for you all at once! Congrats John!
I am always like “take those home!”
Great episode. Love the history. Congratulations on the Romen!
Great video John. The toy figure looks a bit like George Washington.
It does! I wonder 🤔 interesting thing for a toy
Oh noooo! He's laying down!! This is going to be good!🎉❤
Congratulations on your fantastic day John! Some beautiful coins. Well done 👏 ❤
Very GREAT video. Love your education. Thank you.
What a great day!
Beautiful hunt well done. Congratulations on the roman coin Amzing
Could the figure be a figure of Bonnie Prince Charley
23:20 Strap end from small leather. Congratulations on 500 videos and another great day in Perthshire! Cheers from New Orleans
Came on here to suggest strap or belt end too 🙂
Agreed! But not ancient, possibly Victorian…detail is quite good, should be fairly easy to track down….possibly a purse strap end, appears rather feminine in design.
Just what I was thinking. Ladies watch strap maybe.
It makes me laugh at myself sometimes sitting by the fire in Germany watching your adventures at how my heart pumps when you make your finds. We get your weather here some days after your detecting days most times. I watch your show with the kids and partly because of you my boy is dead set on becoming an archaeologist… poor bastard. There’s no money in that, but what a life.
Loved your comment ! Maybe your son will take up metal detecting after he makes his first million !❤👍
So happy for you John!! Love watching you ! 💙
I think the little figurine is circa 1780. He’s wearing a cutaway coat with wide cuffs. Hairstyle is smooth on top with tight curl on the bottom. Hair would be clubbed in the back. Not posed like a soldier. More like a bit of a dandy.
Thanks Kathleen that’s exactly what I was thinking!! Great minds think alike!!
Thanks for watching
@@thescottishdetectoristmy pleasure 😊! Upon second look, I think the little head definitely has a face, but I’m not sure the head is human. It almost has more of a snout than a face and I wonder if it could be an anthropomorphized chimpanzee or lion? Some Roman or Egyptian diety? There seems to be a little leaf under the chin on the left side.
What a day John. Stunning Roman Coin 👏
That was definitely worth starting with a wee lie down. The Dirty Bertie by itself would have made a great outing, but add the hammered half and the Roman, and it was AWESOME. The other finds were great ones as well. I hope your next trip is just as productive. Cheers from Texas.
The question piece about 24 minutes in looks like a smashed toothpaste tube? Awesome coins especially the silver. Love the figure and the little lead head. Thanks for taking us along John!!
28:14 stunning coin John, huge well done 🙌🏻
the perth half penny token has the coat of arms of perth the legend reads " PAYABLE AT THE HOUSE OF PAT. K MAXWELL X X"...Coat of Arms of the City of Perth consisting of double-headed eagle with shield, displaying lamb holding saltire flag, on breast. a condor token
Many thanks Davey. A really interesting find
Woohoo!!! Congratulations John!
23:33 possibly the broken end of a spoon?
Great finds John 🎉🎉really enjoyed this one.
Amazing day of finds John! The silver Roman was a belter. Could the squashed item at around 23.55 be a top of a tube, toothpaste maybe?? Cheers, John.
That’s what I’m thinking too! 🦷 and glad you enjoyed the video
Bar the bull, best video yet, so much variety. As, always thanks John.
Many thanks! I don’t think that bull will ever be topped!! An incredible find
I can see the kids lining up in front of the toy store in 1850 to buy the hottest new action figure Parliament Joe! Comes with a sporty overcoat and and an ivory pipe. Seriously, what a day you had?! Dream day for most of us for sure.
Haha 😛 yeah, a weird wee figurine plus the head. A great day. Five or six of those finds on their own would have been great, wish I’d got one each dig so I could have got more content out of it 🤣
It would be pretty hard to keep your expectations in check after your initial silver, Saying to yourself, Now don't get to exited John, that might be all that you will find. But happily that was not the case this time, What a day! A day that you don't want to end, and already planning to return there as soon as possible. Well, I know that is what would, and has gone through my mind on such occasions, few and far between as they are. Not that Australia has the ancient influences Scotland has, but that doesn't change the need to get back there to see what more can be found. Congrats on an excellent days detecting! Cheers Mate! Hooray!
Thanks for watching Wayne. Any one of those great finds would have been a great day out and I’m over the moon to have all that in one dig. Great finds ahead I’m sure!!
Woohoo John that was awesome, pity here in Australia we don’t have that history in coins etc.
We have over 60000 years of indigenous history which is amazing in itself but nothing in metal.
Love your work mate.
Many thanks! And thanks for watching. Hopefully many great days ahead for me!!
Cracking crop marks, certainly looks like some could be medieval burgage plots the other round ones could be much much older.
Yes some fantastic crop marks and I’m hoping some of it is a village and maybe even the ditches a Roman camp or fort
Possibility that bronze figurine and/or lead head were penates ore lares: Roman household deities.
I think the Roman coin is referencing the deified emperor following his death.
Many thanks, I’ll have the museum take a look and see what they think. Thanks for watching!
24:24 that is a mostly melted down bullet most likely from the 1800s. A lot of them are found in the US in Civil War camps.
Aha! You’re spot on. Thanks for that Thomas, much appreciated
I think I could hardly have borne to go home....I would have wanted to stay all night.
Trust me I didn’t want to leave either 😜
Only part of your video I dislike is your biscuit choice. Tunnocks tea cakes all day long. 😊
Tunnocks tea cake is a close second it think, but do you bite it or pop the whole thing in at once, that’s the dilemma 🤣
Nice hammered coin and the roman is stunning 👌💥
The little lead figurine looks like he should've had something tucked under his right arm and carrying something in his left hand xx
Thanks Tracy. It’s an interesting wee thing, I think it’s a lead toy of some kind but not a soldier
Really phenomenal finds. Congratulations on over 500 videos. I will have to enjoy Scotland from your eyes. My uncle from Dundee just died . He liked to hike in the hills. Thanks from Canada
That’s coin with the bird and the two heads is the same as the symbol on Perth and Kinross council badge
You’re a clever wee fella Iain. Well spotted
My day has been made, seeing your terrific finds!!! Did you have carrots with your supper too??1🥰🥰🥰
On the silver! Congrats!
Nice finds. You forgot a backpack for all the carrots you find.
Hahaha 🤪 🥕 next time!!
I can tell you’re excited when you throw your spade down rather than sticking it in the ground. 👍
You got that right! A great day Dean. Some fantastic finds
One of your best days in a long time. Well done John. Hurray!!!
Many thanks Doug! An epic day and hopefully some great days ahead
John I know you ran out of time but could you show us the place you found the Roman coin on the crop mark map? ❤
Hi Emily. I will do, first chance I get!! Thanks for watching
Generally, what happens to the Roman and Medieval coins?
Hi James. All reported to the museum. They record and either claim or return them to the finder
Great video but if thats a 1969 Half penny, it's worth a Bomb as they stopped minting them in 1967..!
( there were some issued in 1970 in a Proof set..!)
And even if your Denarii is Roman.
We get our Term 'Penny' from a Anglo version of 'Dennii'.
It's why we used £.S.& .D. for Pence..!
D for Dennii or Denarii.
Great Video Great finds..! Cheers from Oz 🦘🦘🦘
Brilliant day out 👌💥🔥
Amazing wow 🎉🎉🎉 great Video. Thx
I think I would go back there as long as they let you!
Holy cow laying down already, love it
Tunnocks are fantastic they do a coconut one too which is also fantastic internet world go out and try one !
They are amazing 🥲 love them all
A beautiful informative video John. It’s wonderful to hear your joy at finding the Roman. Delighted for you!
The little man, you say its lead, but where the legs are "rotted" through it is Red. You sure its not copper or bronze? Well, that and that Head (which Looks Ancient) are Really cool finds. And lol the silvers nice too.
You Gotta slow down John, your going to run yourself out of targets. hehehe
Ohh, and the little lead "Thing" with the flower on it? Looks like maybe the bottom of a cross? You never show us the broken ends of things. (Like that head) Was it part of a whole figure? (shrugs)
Fantastic John !
Brilliant ❤
Hey John do you have to give your Roman coins to the museum?
Hi Janice. Yes, anything of age and importance has to be handed in so these Roman coins will be handed in first chance I get
I really enjoyed this nice long day of detecting.
Everytime you say roman, is a disstrrraction for me...Life of Brian..............🤣😂😂
If Roman, it's potentially a ladder settlement.
I hope so Sally!!! A wee village or even a fort or Roman camp too would be amazing
Would you believe that Aldi's special buy today were Tunnock Caramel Biscuits. In Brisbane, Australia. Yes, I bought some, and some Tunnock Tea Cakes as well.
What a great day John you have had.. my first time to be able to comment for some time John as i have been under the weather diagnosed with Prostrate cancer but trying to stay positive.
Waiting for scan results etc.Your videos really cheer me up Thanks JOHN
I hope everything goes well, sending positive thoughts!
Good day for your valuable findings John from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada❣️🤭
Absolutely great finds. Thanks for sharing your time.
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Seems you’re finding a lot of Iron Age artifacts…along with that AWESOME Roman Denarious Silver.
Nice John! Wonderful digging day for you. Your man (toy?) from the back reminds me of the uniform of Dick Van Dykes father on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,. What is it, for a jungle? Decapitated head? 😂 good to see you.
Will you stop it with the Tunnocks wafer teasing, I can't eat them any more. LOL. I'm Coeliac. What a fantastic day though, all those coins and silver, from the first century to the 1900s. That peculiar shaped first peice, I think it may be a cap badge the top bit looks very much like a crown.
The denarius is a fantastic, brilliant find, congratulations. Your findspot is just outside the cropmark you showed earlier that looked like the corner of a playing-card shape? Is this perhaps a Roman fort, previously unknown? Wow. You may have made a discovery of national importance if so.
Stoatin day out, congratulations well chuffed fur ye
WOW WOW WOW x 100 John! That amount of finds and the quality is unbelievable. You’re so lucky to have that fantastic permission. What a great video that kept us intrigued whilst on hols in Ayrshire. Unfortunately not detecting 😕. Beautiful Roman that’s sat there all those years just waiting for you, and so much more. That little figure and the head will be really interesting to find out how old they are? Can’t wait for the next dig! 🤞
Always thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing the history behind your finds. I’m in Australia with Scottish and Irish heritage, so it’s very satisfying learning about a piece of their history.
Woo Hoo!! What a great day. Hope to see another video from this field
Many thanks Debbie. Hopefully some great days ahead from this field
Wow! This has got to be one of your best days ever! That little head looks Roman to me and the little figure ( being from America) reminds me of George Washington. I can't wait to see what other treasures this field brings. ❤️
Fantastic find!
The lead head looks to be an African figure? Maybe the other figure is a "dandy" Some child's toy figures?
Wow, what a day. 🎉
The metal detecting gods were smiling at you. What a wonderful day and your adventure put a smile on so many other faces I'm sure. I wondered if the potential "badge" looked like a thistle with words round the bottom.
John, how much beer would that cut half bought? Regarding the bottle tops; do you think they were tipping a wee drink or two on their break or while they were plowing? It's great to see you sir, hope the family and Dura are doing well.
A nice lot of finds there John especially the silvers well done. It’s good to see you back after a while and with a vengeance keep it up.
Also congratulations on your 500th video
Great video John, really enjoyed watching. Good to see you back on the fields.
I think the item at 23:30mins could be a strap end 🤔
The lettering on the jet looks 20th century, bottom right as you're holding it with the broken bits at the to looks like it says "CLUB" so some sort of membership token?
The thing w a rose looks like the tip of a belt or leather lace. Wow, congrats on a fantastic day! Greetings from Oregon, USA
We can buy those caramel biscuits here in Canada, and you're right, they are the best! I don't even buy them because I'd eat the whole package.
Looks like Charlie Chaplin figurine
