- Another day and another incredible discovery and another day of silver!!!
Working my way downstream from the Roman site thanks to new permissions and I’ve already had a bronze Roman sestertius from the first or second century and now this!! 🤩

I cannot watch other channels now haha you are so educational whenever I watch someone else and they don’t know anything about what they find annoys me haha thank you very much for keeping my need for knowledge appeased lmao
Many thanks!! I’m so glad you are enjoying and thanks for taking the time to tell me!! I’ll keep bringing more if you keep watching 😆
i agree. Mudlarks Nicola White, Si Finds, Kit and Caboodlers and Northern Mudlarks all research their finds and share what they find
The location along the river is likely the reason for the European currency. I'd guess the river had travel options for those who weren't local.
Yes, you’re right! And the same reason the romans are there too. Great for navigation but also keeping an eye on people!
I also like when you superimpose a clear coin image to see what the coin looked like.
I like the new "fade in" to help us see the details on coins. And the Roman coin is a glorious find. It has been there for so long just waiting for someone to pick it up. Wouldn't that last owner of the coin be incredulous at what the world looks and acts like now?!?
The figure ont the French coin is Marianne. She is "the national personification of the French Republic since the French Revolution, as a personification of liberty, equality, fraternity and reason, as well as a portrayal of the Goddess of Liberty." Only time I found coins from everywhere in France was on a military hospital site from WW1.
Many don't know that Lady Liberty in the US, is based on the French Marianne. She's on some coins, and obviously the Statue of Liberty.
The black coating on the coins is ferrous oxide deposition due to galvanic corrosion. When you put two different metals in moist soil, next to each other, they act like a battery. The coin is basically being electroplated by the iron in the soil. It makes a very good protective coating, especially for copper.
Hi John, great video as always. The object from The Great West Rd, Brentford was almost certainly a shaving soap stick holder from the Gilette Company. Pretty certain that it was built in the 1930’s.
This is another great dig, even the "things" are interesting. So glad you got another Roman coin, we do have a shortage of Roman stuff here in Texas. Will look out for part 2. Cheers from Texas.
The shortage over there is because John’s got all the Roman coins in his fields!! 😂
Now I would be extremely excited picking up thousands of years old stone tools and weapons over there lol. But here in England there was a Roman building every mile or so, they get boring 😆
Thank you so much John, great finds and I love the bits of history you share with us🥰☺️
Many thanks 🤩
I love watching your videos, I have been detecting 46 years and have some brilliant permissions, I recognise most of your finds, but your knowledge of history, and coins and oratory skills makes tour channel the most interesting watch on you tube.
I have watched only about 5 min of this video and I am hooked. Alot of the other metal detecting sites are just staging finds. They are just ridiculous. Great job to you Sir.
Wow! What a day! What a field! It’s amazing what has come out of that field already and how you continue to find more and more. I look forward to part 2. Oh! I love the superimposition of what a coin would have looked like if not crusty. Thanks for doing that.
🫢@16:50 Thanks John for doing that! That really helps to see what you see. The best channel ever!
The large brass object could be the top of a poker that had a square end iron rod inserted. The brass object with a person on is a horse brass. The top would have taken the strap. The Thing that had the catch and the inserted decoration is either a ladies or child's belt clip or the clip for a ladies bag. Another great day.
Margaret you are a star ⭐️ thanks for confirming!! I’d be lost without you!
HahaHa when you get lucky enough to get old you have a lot of experience behind you. Love watching what you uncover, and the Beeb interview was great.
I like those tech skills with the superimposing of coins and I love the view from your house! Beautiful!
Love a wee Roman in the Gloamin. Well done. ;-)
Much appreciated, a lovely wee coin and I’m very happy with my special effects 😂
Great dig John, I love watching you find things in the fields. Congratulations on another Roman. I am looking forward to part 2!
Oh wow, silver right away. Great start
Amazing start and ANOTHER European coin!!
Very nice! Thank you for bringing us along! Edit: Prior to finding your channel I knew pretty much nothing about English and Scottish history. Thanks to your in depth discussion around some of your finds I now know a smidge and I really appreciate it. Very good stuff! Thanks!
What a great video! I am sure I’m not the only one who is looking forward to Part II.
Many thanks Deborah. Definitely part 2 or worth watching though I may be bias 😂
Nothing better than having a video from Mr. Detectorist to watch while eating lunch 💪🏽
The clasp, with the little glass rhinestones, looks a lot like one I found in my Great Aunt Margaret's sewing box that I inherited. Hers appeared to be gold tone over brass and I suspected it was from the 1920's, but it could have been older. So you were right it is about 100 years old. I think you call it a sash clasp.
You make me laugh, "don't call me shirley"...lol. Love your channel.
Hello from Ohio and thanks for sharing .I truly enjoy these Videos and the things you tell us about your finds !
Congrats on the Denari. Great guesswork on that bust. Loving the new coin graphics wizardry 👍
The 50 centimes is 83.5% silver. I think the French have some very pretty coins, and I love the fonts they used. Almost art deco.
Lucky coin from the year of my mother’s birth… I sure enjoy watching your videos. Glad you had such a good day. 🥰💕❤️👍
Apparently the lady on the 50 centimes coin is sowing seeds. She's called La Semeuse (the sower).
Excellent stuff buddy. So glad you got the silver Roman, albeit blackened by the elements.! Looking forward to part 2. Bless 👊
A very enjoyable documentary. Congrats on the finds, technical advancements and the history lessons. Very cool😎
Fabulous John, thank you.
5:36 don't think it's oak, maybe laurel garland. LOVELY!
Please make a page where we can view the likenesses, dates, etc, of coins you've found on your journey. You could publish a book just of coins! Another book just about your odd finds! You've got BBC appearance to catapult your career experiences! I'd buy a book from you, perhaps a mixture of your Detectorist story and your historical tours! I can hardly wait!
Watching your videos is an exercise in controlling my feelings of extreme envy. Do you understand how good you have it? There is no more than 150 years of history where I am, summer temps over 40 degrees C, and hard rocky ground. Throwing my hands up in exasperation.
haha my local pub is over 300 years old, my local church (Felkirk) was first recorded in 1120 but is much older, it also has a school alongside it built in the 1590s. Within about 5-10 miles of my house i have 3 monastries (Nostell, Monk Bretton and Pontefract), 2 castles (Sandal Wakefield & Pontefract), and then we have a Roman fort at Castleford, a Saxon stronghold in Brierley and a bronze age settlement in South Kirkby. And thats just scratching the surface lol
What a day! That fade in fade out is cool! 👍
Hi John, my first impression when I saw the square item with a figure on it was a standing bagpiper. Maybe a cufflink or lapel pin. I really enjoy your videos and my husband and daughter also follow you now. Thanks for your dedication and hard work.
Dava
Dava thanks for the kind words and the suggestion! I think it might be military so a piper would make sense! Thanks also for upping my follower numbers!! Much appreciated
Congrats John …what a dig that was .. pity you didn’t find two other denarius then you could have the title John Triple D MacEachen
That would wipe the smile of Simon’s face ….😆
I like you’re thinking Chris!!! Why didn’t I think of that 😆
Can you do a follow up on items please
Definitely on my to do list Rob! More coming soon!
Wow, so much today, I loved them all!
Thanks, it’s a field that keeps on producing!!
I’m going with the spirit of the holiday season and say your diamond shaped button is Santa holding his bag of goodies! 😂 Loved the fade in/out of your silver Roman! I’ll be hiring you for all future technology editing projects 😂 see you on part two…
Man, this is such a fun channel. Love the history of the items you dig out of those fields. Now, we just need more long form Tour videos! Love your channels, John
There's a heck of a lot of crustaceans running around that field. What type are they? Crabs or lobsters?
Encrustation or concretion, but I know what you mean 😅
Haha 😂 🦐 🤣 what a wally I am 😆
A very interesting and entertaining dig! Love the Roman silver!! That field is a treasture trove waiting to be found. I thought the hollow handle thing you found might be the grip of a riding crop. It probably is a handle of a tool. Congratulations! :D
Many thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed! I think I’m gonna call this field Steptoes Yard because anything is possible!!! From junk to silver!! Maybe even gold 😂
Best wishes and thanks for watching
Hi John I think the silver French coin features a female sewing seed.
No wonder you like that field! Great finds. I am still thinking about that lead St Andrews mold. I remember when I was in the army in Southern Germany and visited museums, they had beeswax impressions from wooden molds, I saw some beeswax impressions that were a couple of hundred years old. Being the Catholic part of Germany, I also saw little wooden pocket Saint's shrines that could be for travel or opened up in a house. Maybe that is the sort of thing was turned out at a church workshop for pilgrims to buy and carry. (Beeswax wouldn't last long in the part of the US I live in (too hot) but should do find in cooler climates like Scotland.
Not a bad first half john nice denarius there, look forward to the second half 👍.
Much appreciated! More to come!
I really enjoy your videos. Especially the historical commentary.
Much appreciated Becky and I’m glad you enjoyed. Much appreciated
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much Sharlene and I’m so sorry it took me so long to say thanks, I totally missed that there’s a selection I can make to see donations!!! Many thanks and best wishes
I think the jeweled metal could be a clasp to hold a fancy diary or bible closed...beautiful silver Roman also🍻🍻
Agreed. It probably broke in the middle, so one must imagine a mirror image with cross in the middle.
A very nice hunt again over 1800 years is something else.
Many thanks David. A very trashy field but lots of good stuff!!
@@thescottishdetectorist I am still watching it and it is good if a bit trashy
@@davidlewis9068 enjoy! It gets better 😆
@@davidlewis9068 oh, and I use state of the art technology at the end 😆
@thescottishdetectorist yes I saw that especially with that Roman coin.
Thanks John, looking forward to part two. Congrats on the Roman coin!
The head thing looks a bit like Shakespeare? Some great finds including the roman coin too!
Many thanks. This field is like Steptoes Yard!! Anything is possible 😆
Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle, John is once again over the moon! With those finds I would be over Jupiter! Cheers!🎉
What a fantastic view from your back garden. Love watching your videos, it's so exciting seeing what you will dig up next. The roman coin is amazing, and your history knowledge makes it really special 🙂
Your Number 1 Alaskan Fan here! I'm loving all these mystery finds! Congratulations on yet another wonderful video!
Cat like reflexes with that pocket knife John 😂😂😂
Hi John, watching from California. Love your videos!
Got a chuckle out of the Airplane reference! Great movie
The field that just keeps on giving! Sweet finds John! That Roman was very surprising! Thank you for the history and the teaser…😁
Roman Silver! Simon will be spitting 😂😂😂
If only I’d found three he’d be raging 😡 😆
😂😂😂@@thescottishdetectorist
Excellent video as always. Thank you.
Great finds😊 good for you
Thanks John for another great video. We in New Zealand are supposed to be in our Summer, but we also are getting rain rain rain, and cold fire lighting weather.
Sadly Climate change is really here to stay.
I look forwards to your next adventure, Neville.
Many thanks! It’s better than frozen ground but it would be nice if it dried up a bit that’s for sure 😆
Lots of targets today!!! This field just keep giving!!! Love it!🥰🥰🥰
The silver (83.5%) 50 centimes, minted in Paris, 48M examples. The lady sowing seeds on the obverse is La Semeuse. Rarest year for this design is 1897, only 88,000 minted.
Amazing info! Much appreciated!! 🤩 all I need is for the other 47.99999999 million to get lost or melted down and I’m rich! 😆
@@thescottishdetectorist haha, you're welcome
A nice collection of coins for just 1 dig, it leaves me forever envious of of the history in your area and the permissions you have John.
Lovely roman John 😊
I think the grass 'plumbob' thingy' could be an early Sash window catch.
Aha! Sounds good to me! Thanks Helen
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. Great day…more ancient silver coins. Our weather seems to be very similar (Scotland and Tennessee). Last night we had frost, but during the daytime it warms up enough to be outside with a light sweater or sweatshirt. I prefer summer and lots of heat. It’s always a pleasure to watch you detect cool stuff.
if part 2 is as good as one John then we are in for a real treat ,what a cracking Roman and lovely artifacts thanks again cheers
Another cracking video, John. We love the way you share your knowledge of dates etc. Such an inspiration, mate. From another metal detectorist (Bexleyheath) who doesn’t know any land owners yet 😢. I’ll persevere😊
Well John , what a day for you,... Great starting it was your finding day full of nice coins. I also think that roman coin is a A P , and it is always one amazing feeling every time we dig and find a denarius. Can't wait to see the 2nd part. Best regards mate.
Looking forward to it very much. 🎄👍💯💥✨️
You’re absolutely smashing it John 👍👍
I don’t know if it’s common in Scotland, but in England it was common for unneeded soldiers uniforms after a conscripted war to be ploughed into the fields. I found several “souvenirs” that would have been sewn into the tunic lining as lucky charms, keeping the soldier safe while enforcing the empire. That’s how I found an 1850’s Chinese coin in a field near York.
Some amazing finds. Great video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed
Great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate. Love the French and of corse roman coins some field it is you have got there just spitting coins up from all iver Europe and the amount of silvers from it is outstanding well done 👏🏻
Many thanks Smoggy. I think I’m gonna call this field Steptoes Yard…. Anything is possible from junk to silver 😂
@@thescottishdetectorist 😂😂 great name for the field of plenty!! 👍
The object with the head is probably A horse decoration or head of fire companion set.
Thanks Louis. A horse decoration seems a popular shout! Much appreciated and definitely the other item looks like it could be a poker head! Thanks 😊
Das hat wie immer viel Spaß gemacht, danke fürs mitnehmen
Nice finds and good determination ❤
Great finds, congrats.
Thanks for watching
So Glad I found you! Brilliant Videos and ( like other commentators) love your knowledge of finds and your humour, ie '' It's another bloody button! - then apologize and say your not a bloody button at all " I'm new to detecting and learning so much. love the way you put a picture over your 'toasted coins' to show what it would have looked like! I havnt found a roman or hammered yet - one for the new year! found plenty of buttons though! Happy Christmas.
The person on the french coin is a lady sower! Love your program, Francesca Amsterdam
Thanks for persisting with the tech visuals they're really helpful for getting your eye in. Great field and looking forward to more. Keep it up.
Brilliant what an eclectic mix
Fabulous Roman coin!! How exciting!!!!😊
Nice going John gripping stuff! ❤
Much appreciated. Certainly wasn’t expecting a Roman silver!!
Great day of finds, and it's only part 1. 😉
The clasp with the stones on it looks like a belt buckle for a ladies dress. These belts were made of the same fabric as the dress, with an very stiff tape inside that gave the belt some body to hold its shape. They were popular in the 1920s to the 60s. I own a very nice one of them after inheriting it from a great great aunt.
Nice roman - happy hunting. Hi from Bornholm in the Baltic sea
Many thanks Pete and best wishes
Hello John! Great hunt this time out! Your bust looks like George Washington, or a lookalike. Probably a medal that hung from a ribbon. Just guessing. Happy hunting!
Thought l could see a standing figure before you cleaned it. The head reminds me of an old horse brass that my grandparents had nailed round the fireplace amongst others. The way you were catching bits in this episode you will be juggling soon.
Fantastic. Thanks. Again..
you are defying science John, you are a silver magnet well done
WhoooHooo. I’m so excited for you!
Thanks for the video. A yes to showing what coins are supposed to look like. Congratulations on the Roman silver albeit in poor condition.
Brilliant video again and do we ever not get rain😂😂 at least we get value for money from our waterproofs John
Amazing find. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!!!
I'm anxious to know about the face pendent! He looked like George Washington. When you turned him around I thought I saw a child's face behind his ear. What a dig.!.!.!.
Thanks Peggy. George Washington and William Shakespeare seem popular suggestions and a horse brass decoration seems a common suggestion. I’ll let you know if I find out more. Thanks as ever!
Thank You for the reply.!. You are so kind to this crazy not so little old lady and I love you for it.!.!. I swear some how, some way, some day, You're gonna take me on a guided tour of Scotland! First on my bucket list.?. 👵
Great finds!! I'd love to detect with you one day.
Cool stuff John.
Try googling Brentford Golden Mile. It was an amazing collection of huge named manufacturers back in the 20s. Gillette, Hoover, Firestone etc. pretty sure that would be a good place to start tracking down that lid or whatever it was.
