Silver sleeve button c1700s. The crowned hearts are a device associated with the marriage of Charles II and Catherine of Braganza in 1662. One is in the British Museum.
Thanks Rosslyn. A potentially incredibly rare find from the fields of Perthshire 🤩
You beat me to it
Hi mate it looks like its king Charles 1st era cufflink seen them before, lovely find 😮😊
I've had a couple which I've recorded with my FLO as treasure. Both found in Nottinghamshire and returned to me. I also found a copper alloy version which may have been silvered previously
Those Sleeve Button s had a solid oblong link to the other button in the cufflink . They all seem to be slightly different design and construction. I found one with the Saint Edwards crown which was made for Charles II coronation and seen on Charles III recently at his coronation. Your one has another type of crown. Mine has the hearts overlapped yours separate hearts. I also found one with just one heart with 2 arrows. I think this was fashion and to show discretely that the owners were Royalists maybe?@@thescottishdetectorist
Hail-up people! I can’t believe that 70% of you who are watching this incredible channel are not subscribers. This is THE BEST metal detecting channel on UA-cam. You know it, because you’re looking at it. The exciting finds, the history! It costs nothing and he doesn’t send you any promotional material. This is a shout-out from the Caribbean to hit the Subscribe button (at the bottom right corner of the video when it is minimized in case you’re not sure where)
Exactly!!
Oh, I am subscribed and yes this is an incredibly great channel.
I nearly sprayed coffee over the PC "and if you don't like the video, just hit the dislike button twice to make sure it registers." 😂😂😂You said it with such a straight face John! Brilliant!👍😂
Haha 😂 thanks Al and sorry for your laptop 😂
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who almost lost their coffee. Proper straight-faced delivery. Hilarious!
Why do you suppose he doesn't suggest we hit the 'Like' button twice 'just to make sure?' 😉
@@Causemoi 🤣🤣
@@thescottishdetectorist 🤣🤣
'The fields of Perthshire' should be on a t-shirt!
Haha 😂 thanks Nero. Much appreciated
Maybe even "Support the bendy thumb of Perthshire" 😂
'Get the bendy thumb on it' or 'I dropped it' 😂
'Get yer carrot out'
When a so so day turns in to a sweet find day! I’m thinking cuff link size on the hearts and crown. As you gave the information…I was more surprised by the one found in the USA. Truly a special find. Thank you as always John, for sharing your day with us.
Good good finds…..cheers from Mississippi 🏴🇺🇸
The small button is a beauty!thanks for sharing!
Thank you, excellent button find.
Much appreciated
Thanks John. What an absolutely beautiful find the button was.
A button better than a coin😵💫 a rare thing indeed! Congrats you've found a real British Museum quality treasure 🥰
What an amazing silver button a tremendous find congratulations.
.that button ,what a find John well done
Many thanks James
John, at the rate you and your friends are turning up amazing finds, the National Museum of Scotland will need a dedicated display cabinet for the Scottish Detectorists channel.😂 Well done, wishing you continued luck (and obviously good research) in the future.
Haha 😂 many thanks!! Yes there’s been some great finds recently from the Roman silver coins, Bronze Age axe heads, rapier blades, Martyn’s Gold hammered and silver medieval strap end, Petes bizarre gnome riding a sheep and of course Albert’s bull. Quite incredible!!
What a wonderful find. I was watching a program about Charles 1 and Charles 2 about 3 hours ago. Will you be turning this into the museum on Scotland? You crew have found some wonderful history lately. Well done.
@@thescottishdetectorist what is the name of the episode with the gnome riding the sheep must have missed that one you and your friends have found some amazing finds
Great hunt, wow what a beautiful button, nicely done. 🇺🇸
The amazing finds of the junk would make excellent jewelry 😊
I love that silver button. It's very pretty!
Many thanks, yes quite possibly a very rare find
A few hours in a beautiful Scottish field… heaven 🌟
What an amazing button! Highly recommend that new subscribers and viewers go back and watch past videos!
Loads of other interesting finds and history! Thanks!
Much appreciated CM. Best wishes
The King and Queen of hearts😜
Indeed! 🤴🏻🫅🏻
Well John what can I say …what a amazing find the sleeve button is … absolutely fabulous… I’m guessing your still buzzing with the excitement even now ..
top notch find 🤙🏻
Thanks for the kind words Chris. An amazing find and potentially very very rare!! 🤩
Thank you for the Historic finds in the Fields of Perthshire. Happy to know I'm part of the 30 percent.
David Balfour must have dropped one of Alan Breck’s silver buttons! ❤Great find!
21:55 you did say Marty was dropping in!😂😂
He didn’t quite make it 😂
I am subscribed to your channel and really enjoy it, I have watched you earlier videos nearly all of hem by now but have a few left. Now to a point I think might help you remember all you stuff. I'm 65 and have detected from the 1970's till my detector was stolen just after I became disabled about 9 years ago along with my stuff. It's all good because everywhere close enough to detect has be either detected to death or turned into buildings. Here is my hopeful help for you, back in 1994 I picked up a leather carpenters apron with two large nail pouches a hammer holder a couple of pencil holders, a speed square holder and tape measure holder. I attached two flaps and used magnetic seals to hold the flaps down to hold my finds. One held junk the other held good finds, I attached my pin pointer to the hammer holder via recoil cord, used my pencil holders for small things like your picker and toothbrush the speed square holder held my water bottle via recoil cord and the tape measure holder is great for a small digging scoop. You might look one of those carpenter belts up and invest in it and keep it with your detector.. just trying to help a very good fellow metal detector. Keep up the great shows.
Thanks Sonny.
Welcome to the channel and I’m glad you are enjoying! Thanks also for the great suggestion! I’ll look into that! Sounds like a great idea
The best detecting channel on UA-cam. Not only do you film the digs but your knowledge is brilliant.
Hello from Perth. Australia 🇦🇺
Have to close my eyes as you dig …dizzy…. 🎉congratulations
🤩🤩🤩 Cool button!
Many thanks, a beauty isn’t it
The silver cuff button is a gem! Precious indeed! Your description gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your finds with us. 💜🙏
Great find John, you deserve it.👍
John , the wee loop thing you keep finding, are for running wires to support fruit bushes .
"Tap it twice to be sure." 😂 🤣😂
Quote, never under estimate the common button , Terry of the DMDC. what a nice find.
Oh I’m delighted for you well done
The small eyelet is obviously a stirrup from a Leprechaun's pony. Cheers
Haha 😂 thanks Rhett 🧝♂️ 🐎
Amazing button !
About time I got a button I like 😂
Congrats on the amazing little button! Looking forward to hearing what the National Museum has to say about it!
Lovely commutative button / cufflink! I’ve just had one sent off to the treasure process (full cufflink! )
Many thanks Mark and well done on yours!!
Awesome button!!!
Many thanks. Initially I had no idea of the significance
Well done! An amazing button find. Who would have thought we all would be excited about a button!
I know!! Suddenly I have a new found respect for buttons 😆
I just want to thank you for inspiring me to do something , I’m terminally I’ll with cancer and at a loss , but after watching the Scottish Detectorists videos, I’ve been inspired to get a machine and start detecting , haven’t a clue what I’m doing at all but I’m going to learn and enjoy, even if it’s just for the exercise. Alan Rudd
John, I'm so very happy to see you having such success, both in the "Fields of Perthshire" and on the internet! Over 27K subscribers!! Congratulations and continued success!
I cant wait to hear the update on the reaction of the National Museum of Scotland when they see that beautiful button. Please keep up the excellent work.
Spectacular. Definitely national significance.
Well done Jock.
Many thanks Basil 🌿 brush! Glad you enjoyed and seems it may be very very rare 🤩
what a great find
Beauty isn’t it Mike. Didn’t realise its age at first or it’s rarity 🤩
Stupendous find👏🏻
Another great find John, definitely one for the FLO. Keep up the great finds.
Were there actually any Mary Queen of Scots coins made? Her times on and off the Scottish throne were so unsettled that maybe there wasn't time to mint any coins?
Cool find - I hope the British Museum acquires the one you found here!
WOW. That is once incredible little find
Hello John. That is one lovely button. Very much enjoyed. Catching up with my subscriptions and a little behind. A wee bit cheeky of me but thought I'd push my luck. Crossed my mind a few times actually. I'll be up seeing the family around August and thought to myself. How great would it be to spend a day as a guest detectorist with John and the guys up in Perthshire? Just a thought but a good one at that. For me anyway 😄If you'd have me, It'd be an honour. I went there on a stag a few years ago and loved it. Beautiful wee pub on a cobbled street I remember. We went white water rafting and canyoning as the main events. Anyway, have a think about it. I've no permissions in Scotland is all and It'd be pretty cool. If not possible, not a problem buddy 😉
Hi Del.
How’s you? Glad you enjoyed the button. Sorry I’m behind on comments and got a fair old surge so struggling to keep up.
Let me know your dates when you have them and let’s see what we can come up with!
August is harvest time. Usually mid-August for Barley and September for potatoes but the fields were late in getting planted because of the March cold spell and now the drought is putting them behind further, but drop me a message and let’s see what we can do.
Are you going to Detectival in September?
If you don’t hear from me through the messages email me info@visitscotlandtours.co.uk 😉
@@thescottishdetectorist Hi John. Definitely going to Detectival buddy. I'll let you know when I'll be up but there's no obligation buddy. Just a thought but if there's an opportunity then definitely. I'll let you know nearer the time then as no definitive dates as yet. I'm way behind on watching 😄
Amazing find!
That button with the hearts is brilliant! It’s amazing that you can find such tiny treasures.
Been watching u for while now.Your show is one of my favorite to watch.Keep up the great finds.And see u on the next show.
Much appreciated Len. Many thanks for the kind words
what a jewel of a button, absolutely delightful. A great end to a quiet dig. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Yep…I saw some letters on the backside of that tiny silver button. It’s a button from my leather waste coat…yep. Blessings my Scottish Detectorist friend.
Another great video as always John love the silver cufflink from the marriage of Charles 2nd I once seen a pair of these found on a group dig in County Durham where I found my first and only Scottish Turner coin. Thanks for sharing 👍
That wee button is a awesome find. Love the history you share once you dig these items up!
Many thanks Robert. Glad you enjoyed
I think the general assumption for the origin of the cufflink/buttons is that they were given to select attendees of the wedding as gifts to commemorate the union. Probably given beforehand to be worn on the day.
Various sizes might be men's/women's/children's versions, or there might have been a set of varying sizes for different positions?
The dispersal of them would indicate something along those lines.
The little piece in 23 mins looks like a corner protector for a pack of timber. It's used to stop the banding damaging the timber when it's tightened. They are made of plastic and cardboard nowadays. But they could have been made of lead back in the day.
Pretty amazing John! Tell us what the property owner thought about it. That must have been fun to show him! Let us know what the professionals say about it. On to the next!
Many thanks Greg. I haven’t seen the landowner yet to show him but it’s on the to do list! Then I’ll hand over another batch of finds to the museum for their opinions and keep you all posted! Best wishes
Wowzer! That silver button is truly magnificent. ❤❤ I can’t wait to see what you’ll find next time!
Thanks Christopher. Much appreciated
Great button😊
Thanks for your videos and accompanying history lessons. It’s a little sad that during my schooling, I didn’t care for learning history or mathematics for that matter. Now I’m like a sponge…a little damp and a bit smelly but still absorbing what I can!
At the 2:23 mark, I never thought of using a denture toothbrush to clean off any finds. Nice suggestion.
I'm so jealous of your finds. I live in Western part of the US and I've never found anything older than around 1880. Love your videos and the history lessons you give!
Stephanie, because there is nothing old beneath us made of metal! I am from Texas. Nothing but dirt and dust here. I am here for Outlander and my love of Scotland, but I have stayed for John and for history!
But you're more likely to find dinosaur bones ! 😅 ❤ from Scotland xxJanieDundee
Just found article about your sleeve button online. Yours is in much better shape, whole and detailed, with shank included. Article from The Finds Research Group, I believe.
Wow, thanks Barbara. That’s great to hear, it gets rarer busy the minute!! Many thanks
Great find John. The ring thing is like some shelf hangers that I have out of an old glass cabinet. They fit into holes to support shelves. Great videos.
Many thanks David. Much appreciated
Gratulation to the Button. 😅 real great find👍 and respekt for the recherche.
I bought the tools from les,would not be without now.😊
Well done James! A great wee invention by Les!
Wow what an amazing find! Such a tiny item with a great history, nice one John!
Nice one buddy. Always makes for great watching. The crowned hearts is one I knew, so glad you managed to find the info. What an amazing thing the Internet is.! Great stuff. Bless up 👊
Many thanks as ever Nick! A possibly very rare find
Hi John. re your little button, one identical to yours sold at auction, there description, A silver button or cufflink the face with a crown over two hearts joined to the back with a plain spindle, the back is domed and plain but for the maker's initials TA. Diameter 1.5cm. This motif is often ascribed to the commemoration of the marriage of Charles II and Catherine of Braganza in 1662.
Thanks for shoutout.
john, love the history stories as you dig. how blessed you are to actually hold history in your hands. thank you
Congrats on finding the silver Button and letting us know it's historical importance, brilliant find on otherwise a quiet day.
Wow, what an amazing find from my favourite historical time.. just to think of the dashing cavalier who wore that..
Amen. A beauty! Thanks
Well that certainly makes up for all your hard graft and aluminium cans from those fields. Fantastic find.
😆 Dam I should have watched your video til the end.Great find .
john what are the odds on finding such a very rare piece of history? Congratulations ,enjoy watching your channel.Regards from Florida.
If theres a way to make a poor days detecting outstanding, thats the way to do it! congratulations on a rare and excellent find! Cheers John!
A Charles II silver sleeve button... circa 1670....on googling looks the same. Great find ...
Many thanks Jo-Anne. I think it’s a really rare item. So far I can only find two identical buttons ever found. One from the USA and the other from Kent. The other I referenced from the metal detecting magazine was actually two clasped hands not two hearts, so seems to be very rare!!! 🤩
A beautiful little silver treasure. I'm glad you rescued it.
At the 2:23 mark, I never thought of using a denture toothbrush to clean off any finds. Nice suggestion. At the 17:00 mark, a button of the crowned heart motif is believed to have originally been produced to commemorate the marriage of Charles II to Catherine of Braganza in 1662.
Beautiful cuff botton John! Amazing how silver comes out of the ground... unmistakable.
Many thanks my friend
I recovered a 1943 Mercury Dime on an old ski slope yesterday. It was a thrill and a first for me. Digging 42 beer cans put some additional mileage on my 60 - year old frame 😆
On sleeves there are commonly 2 buttons. The larger of the two closes the wrist or wristband, and I've always just heard it called simply the wristband button. The other, and much smaller button, is usually about 4" from the edge of the sleeve, and it carries the rather elegant name of a *GAUNTLET BUTTON,"* a name I've always loved; _SUCH_ a sense of pageantry that term conveys!
I do believe, *Dear Sir,* that you have found yourself *a commemorative, silver, mid-seventeenth century, GAUNTLET BUTTON --- **_HUZZAH!_*
Thanks for that amazing info Dixie! Much appreciated
I was thinking commemorative as well. Also, one of those finds looks like a broken clock winder but I'll gladly eat my words.
The button is an amazing find! Fabulous history from the UK to the USA!
Many thanks! See you on the next dig!
Well done buddy your the best on you tube Tim 😊😊
Cool find! Amazing to find something that small, that has been there so long. God bless
Much appreciated Julia, an amazing little find and lucky it was shallow
Thanks John, another great adventure, back in history. Can’t wait to see your next video!
Much appreciated Joe and thanks for watching
Well Done, Sir. Love Your Work
Amazing button and great to hear the history relating to it. Congrats on over 27k subs!
Much appreciated Belinda … see you on the next dig
I found one exactly the same today could not believe it when one popped up on the screen that you had found lol
Wow well done John. My buttons just become slightly less rare 😂
Yea, a gorgeous George, Slainte
I found information on the button with the crown and two hearts here it is verbatim: This silver cufflink from our archaeology collections is officially classed as Treasure and dates around 1650-1714. It features a single crown with two hearts on each side. It's believed the design commemorates the 1662 marriage of King Charles II to Catherine of Braganza
Much appreciated and thanks for making the effort to help with identifying
That's what I posted not seeing your post. 😊
Nice button ❤
Wow good for you 😊
What an amazing find! All that hard work pays off! Cant wait to hear what the museum has to say about it!
Wow! What a great find John! I love the historical aspect of your channel... congrats on your continually growing subscribers list 🎉🎉
Great stuff…I used to detect in east Lothian around 45 years ago when detectors were "all manual" before I moved to Australia, it was a lot of fun as a young laddie. Most of the stuff I found I was not able to identify as there was no internet or finds officers to ask….I spent a long time in the local library trying to I’d the loot. Id have killed for a detector like yours pal, all the best.
Many thanks Richard. Happy memories I’m sure!!
What an amazing little button and an awesome find. Was just reading up on it when you showed us on the light box. Just one hole can turn a slow day into a phenomenal day, it’s all in the thrill of the chase you just never know. Thank you for sharing all your days with us, good or bad, slow or amazing…. I certainly enjoy them all.
@@suellendunlop2029yup, one hole is all it takes 😜
Yay, another video...watching again "The fields of Perthshire" from NZ
Hi Jo-Anne hope you enjoy the video!!
@@thescottishdetectorist hi jo anne im from nz also, lol, up at night watching treasure hunting

So not a great day finds wise.....but then a great day finds wise!!!!😂😂Wonderful stuff John.👏👏👏
Yes Al. A strange day 😂
The button is a great find, and I hope you give us an update if you find any more info on it. Best detecting videos on youtube by far. Cheers from San Angelo, Texas.
