Let’s go easy on Simon. I sense he responds & appreciates positive comments more so than jabs. Just an observation from afar. Love your channel….and Simons channel also. I watch both.
Samuel Morse, a New York University professor of painting and sculpture, began working on his version of the telegraph in 1832. Morse was inspired to develop the telegraph after hearing about the discovery of the electromagnet while sailing home from Europe. He spent several years developing a prototype with the help of his partners, Leonard Gale and Alfred Vail. In 1837, Morse received a patent for his electromagnetic telegraph, which used a portarule with built-in dots and dashes. In 1838, Morse presented his invention to Congress, demonstrating how dots and dashes represented letters and numbers using Morse code.
Your Chanel is amazing mate! I’m from Sweden and i just received my X Terra Pro a couple of days ago and yesterday I found my first silver coin 😊. It’s really nice and addictive hobby. A few years ago I went to Scotland and traveled around the country with car for a week and if I compare that trip with all other vacations I’ve done Scotland is at the top when it comes to hospitality and helpfulness. The people were really nice and kind. I literally thought that if people were like the Scott’s it would be world peace! Thanks for awesome uploads!
Grape shot from a cannon? Great video as usual. I am spending my time hunting for mushrooms today. Shot a very nice turkey a few days ago. Also been digging bottles and arrowheads.
Thanks for superimposing the image of coins that haven’t been ravaged by time in the dirt! it really helps us visualize the finds. Giving us a bit of history as context makes it even more fun. Good editing!
John you had one of your better days as of late. That George III Bank Token is a nice piece and has a bit of value. Congratulations on a good day in the field.
Your thought was right: "These intriguing coins were struck in the latter years of the Napoleonic Wars as the conflict led to financial instability in Britain and the mass hoarding of gold and silver coins. The Royal Mint could not keep up with demand for replacement currency and - as a temporary measure - began issuing tokens. First, in the form of countermarked Spanish coinage and later as these fascinating Bank Tokens which circulated as legal tender coinage."
You got me excited with that hand cannon shot! I have used a handmade one as part of a medieval restoration group! We used to call them stick cannons, as they were stuck on the end of what felt like a long broomstick. You would place the end of the long stick against the ground when firing, affording no kickback (since the ground absorbed the shock). They certainly didn't have great aim, but made an impression with a big bang and whoosh sound!
What a day you certainly did have 🤩🤩🤩 amazing variety of finds and did people feed the birds with their coins in that field?! That bank token is a really beautiful and lucky find - worth a nice little amount but I guess as most detectorists do, you’ll keep it, I know I would 😍. Simon needs to get himself a Deus 2! Well done John and well done good old Deus 👏 Great to see you with Simon again. Enjoyed the light box and to see how the silver stands out.
Great finds John especially the George 3rd bank token … if I’m not mistaken that is worth a few quid .. this is the beginning of a fantastic period of finds for you John has I’ve predicted for you … well done keep them coming chap …
You had a fabulous day ! Love the George 3 token , here in Canada there was a severe shortage of small change in the 1820 's so bank tokens and merchant tokens were issued to fill the gap ( counterfeit tokens a.k.a. blacksmith tokens also produced ) . I have been fortunate to have found these but am still waiting for a silver one 😉 Well done John 👍
An amazing days dig John I cant believe the amount of coins you found along with the excellent 1/ 6d token and medallions. Very well done paI really enjoyed it, I'll now go and watch Simon's video of his side of the days event's 👍👍
We are getting too much rain down this end of the country to get out with the detector. (Oxfordshire). Luckily we have your videos to watch. Thanks. Good viewing again.
Hi John , what you thought could have been a cap badge I believe is part of a flattened oil lamp wick burner, that holds the glass chimney, likely Victorian
Thank you so much for sharing from western Canada! I have enjoyed your speech as my ancestors came from Burgage, Buxton, Derbyshire and someday I would love to visit there someday❣️
When you said that you had good quality vid this time, at the beginning, I thought you meant the picture quality, because, your picture was of the most outstanding clarity throughout this video. No fade-in's from fuzzy focus as per usual, as you and most other vids do. The clarity was great, the contrast was great, the colour, and it was a beautiful bright day, that brought out all the features as well. Spot on lads.
That was surely a great day of detecting. Nice to see Simon with you again. I was away from home yesterday and missed your live dig, but maybe I will be around for the next one. Cheers from Texas.
What a day!! Well done John 🙂The bank token is amazing - I was yelling 1 shilling & 6 pence at the screen haha. So many coins, just fabulous. Interesting medals too. Lots of research for you to do!
Great days digging there John. I found a George III three shilling bank token 1811 a couple of years back. Unfortunately it had been nailed to a post and used for pistols target practice. The portrait was ruined but the reverse wasn't too bad.
Another great video john. Id love to see a video of how you go about cleaning your coins! I use a conposite pen for my coppers but i dont even touch the silvers as im too scared 😂
Let’s go easy on Simon. I sense he responds & appreciates positive comments more so than jabs. Just an observation from afar. Love your channel….and Simons channel also. I watch both.
I felt a bit that way today. A bit jabbier than usual 🙄 Love you guys and the banter normally 😊
You and Simon should swap machines for a day of detecting.. would be interesting. love the videos John.
Always great to see the two Amigos out together...❤❤
My guilty pleasure 😁
Simon is back! Awesome! Great to see the tag team back at it! Fantastic day! Thank you for taking us along with you!
rock and roll !!!
14:50 found an auction denoting it as a 1920's Sheffield Weekly Telegraph "Kind Hearted Brigade" Club Medal

I felt like I needed a lie down watching this fabulous day of detecting. Wonderful.

These are the days that keep you going. One for the books! Cheers, and ATB!
So exciting! I've, literally, been on the edge of my seat for the last hour. Well done!

What a incredible day I went metal detecting today and found a William 3 penny👍👍👍

@@eileenpritchard9154 good luck next time you go out
1811 King George III 1 Shilling & Sixpence Silver Bank Token (Eighteenpence), value 330 euro
Thanks Rob! Hope you enjoyed. I didn’t know such a thing existed until I found it!! Amazing and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
And it is in good condition compared to some I have seen on line. Saw one not nearly as nice for 270 Pounds!

@@HLBear I wonder if those inspired the "US Pattern Coins" that came out in the mid 1800's Those are beautiful coins and rare.
I thought maybe grape shot?
Oh, that everday day detecing could be like this !!!! Good on you John !!
If only Callie. The finds just kept on coming!! A great day!!! Amazing

Silver bank tokens were issued due to a coin shortage during Napoeonic wars. Nice find and pretty valuable.
You had a fabulous day ! Love the George 3 token , here in Canada there was a severe shortage of small change in the 1820 's so bank tokens and merchant tokens were issued to fill the gap ( counterfeit tokens a.k.a. blacksmith tokens also produced ) .

Well done John 👍

Your Bank Token is in the Spink book as S-3771. It's a very nice find. Congratulations on a great day of detecting.

Great lot of finds John Bank token was really nice well found
They apparently fling coins randomly about in Scotland, all through the ages
Aye and they say the Scots are mean😂
That is a beautiful coin,the silver weight would be great too. But maybe even a one of a kind.What a day for you.

Another great video john. Id love to see a video of how you go about cleaning your coins! I use a conposite pen for my coppers but i dont even touch the silvers as im too scared 😂
