What you called a hook at about 7:00 is like the fitting on a flagpole or boat to attach the rope line to.
These hooks were used in old houses to tie the heavy curtains back in order to let in the light as well.
I thought so as well. A cleat to tie something off.
The item at 7:10 is a “cleat”. Similar to what you’d find on a small boat for lashing rope to.
Looks like it might have been used to anchor the lift cords for blinds in a window.
That first hook you found is a cleat that is commonly used on anything using ropes, such as boats, flagpoles, maybe a wagon or other implements. You wind the rope around it and tie it down. I love this one, lots of interesting things you found!
Exactly what I was thinking. Glad I read your comment before posting the same thing. I've used these a lot in my life.
Yes, definitely a cleat.
Yup a cleat now if it’s bronze it could be Roman…..???
With the coins from around the world suggesting a possible military association I wonder if there may not have been a (temporary) military camp there for mustering out after the war.
The cleat could be from flagpole, the “medallion” a possible military medal/decoration?
John, thanks a lot for your videos! It's been a real pleasure for me personally and my family as well to watch your movies as if it were true documentaries, although having an alure of autencity and your perfectly drafted stories of every item you find! Very comforting delivery in terms of your language! Best wishes from Ukraine!
Please stay safe, everyone.
Love your silver jar! Can’t believe it found its self in the middle of a field! Congrats on completing the trifecta 😂😂 Every-time you find a door knob I think of the old American TV show Bewitched where an eccentric character “collects”/steals door knobs.
Aunt Clara.
Yeah it’s a beautiful little thing. I love it and it would catch my eye if it was in a shop
Relics are important and I'm not disagreeing with you but a hammie every ten minutes, especially short cross and Norman are special ;-)
The “candleholder” at the beginning look EXACTLY like the bellows nozzle on my grannies fireside kit that now hangs by my wood stove. Same size, hollow at both ends, conical bore to concentrate the power of the bellows. The entire bellows are small, approx 14 inches in length including the nozzle. The silver lidded jar looks like an early lip balm jar that could have been in a ladies saddlebag or purse and fallen out. The lead crown looks like a game piece.
A wee dram or 2 for Xmas. Thanks for all your efforts.! Bless 👊
But…what’s the current beer equivalent? 😆
Thanks so much!!!! Cheers 🍻
The large "silver" medallion is almost certainly Victorian. The bow, with olive branches going up on either side , is an exact copy of what one finds on the reverse of a Victoria Young-Head Shield-Back Sovereign. On those coins the shield, or coat-of-arms, fills the centre between the branches. Hope this helps with identification. Your finds never cease to amaze me.
🥈only Silver because of the missing
Give away! Incredible field a intact little
Glass jar with a silver top! Numerous
Ploughings survirver! A pity with that

Shoutout! Makes me for once an Early
Bird🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄Seen them all! Always a Treat, don' t think it finish
With romans in this field. Got surpriced
With your starsign🐟🐏 I would have
Bet on😜🔝❤️
Here in the US it was "Sanford & Son" lol. The small jar reminds me of an old lip balm jar I saw in a museum in Appalachia. It was also cut glass with no threads and with an ornate silver, friction fitted lid. Yours is plain, but otherwise very close.
Your trifecta made me laugh. 😂 That jar is gorgeous. What a field, a smorgasbord. Oh, and what the heck do you feed your dog for dinner? 🤣🤣🤣 Guessing it’s an expression for something not too great.
Thanks for the video. I agree that all of your foreign coins were probably brought there by soldiers. They could have been mailed home to someone.
My father and some of his classmates would search the garbage bins for things they could sell. During WW2. They discovered this woman who would throw letters in the trash from an old boyfriend. He was serving overseas and didn't know she had a new boyfriend. He kept sending letters and she kept throwing them away.
Love the silver lidded jar!
Me too. Beautiful isn’t it
I believe the “candle stick” and item’s like the wall hangers are from the thousands of carriages, carts and such that have passed by. Your opening description of that fields history was excellent and I can picture in my minds eye the many forts, farms, cottages and other dwellings constructed, occupied and now long gone over the thousand years of history in front of you.
We Americans have such a brief history. Scotland’s history is truly amazing .
Kevin
You used "effective range" - you've had some training. I appreciate your using pint equivalents for value - you are a man after my own heart. Drams would work too lol.
How do you clean your finds when you get home?
Hallmarks! ❤ Love the little jar. Trifecta, what a sence of humor! You're a good one John. Take care.😊
Congrats on the Trifecta! It's a shame so many coins slowed you down over the years from achieving. Cheers from New Orleans
Happy Holidays Jon and Family...
I love how you declare an unidentified artifact, "It's a thing!" Recently subscribed and I have been binge-watching your channel (mashing that thumbs up button of course)! Being in the States, there used to be a Civil War-era road at the top of our property. I have found mini-ball Civil War bullets (3 ringers), military buttons, 1877 Indian Head Penny--all stuff I thought was "old" by U.S. standards. Then I see your finds and realize what the meaning of the word "old" really means!
Another amazing video ! Can’t wait for the next one !
Another great day out with you.thanks
John, the cap badge you found is most likely a 1st Royal Newfoundland Regiment cap badge with the Caribou antlers missing.
When that little jar popped out of the ground I said, "Is that lid silver?!"
Stunning find.
That little container is the gem find of the day! Well done!🎉
Hello from Ohio that was an amazing bunch of finds the Detecting Gods walked with you today. Thanks for sharing loved the bottle and the annas coin looked that one up if not for the hole could be worth a fair amount of cash.
Watching from Wisconsin. Video, The Silver Smile. The find you have that you think is a coat hook, looks to me like a rope cleat for a boat. You sad you were by a river. Just a thought.
Another great video to accompany my breakfast coffee and toast. Cheers, John.
Excellent Terry. Bon Apetit!
In my opinion the little vessel is a fantastic find! I love how well it is made but I can not Imagine why somebody would throw it away or you would lose it. It also kind of looks like it could be crystal glass.
Thank You John! Good Job!
The little glass jar I’d guess would be for some sort of make-up I’d date it to late 1920’s👍
Another perfectly presented video ...good job John 👌👍
Your right on the money it is indeed a candle stick holder nice find, loving the videos 👀👍
Your little jar is a cracking find John 🤩
Well as usual nicely done, nice finds, I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
Really interesting finds this time, particularly the silvers, what a variety! Plus, the build up to, and showing your trifecta gave me a good laugh. Nicely done! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Das hat wieder so viel Spaß gemacht dabei zu sein, ich habe gelacht, zugehört und gestaunt, danke fürs Mitnehmen...bis zum nächsten mal😄😅
Silver rouge pot, or dressing table pot. Very cute. Should be able to find the maker from the hallmarks. I want!
thanks john for another geart video and nice finds
The hook thing is a Tie off holder from a kitchen, you pull down on the string and figure 8 it round the holder for the clothes pulley that hangs fromm the cieling.
Lovely day in the rain.
The 'hook' object looks exactly like the one used to secure the ropes of a flag to the pole. Similar to nautical tue downs...
The perfect start to a Sunday! Cheers, John!
Enjoy!!
Do you detect near a site that used to be a prisoner of war camp / military base? It would explain all the foreign coins and the door knobs and cutlery. I believe there used to be one in Perthshire.@@thescottishdetectorist
This time last year you were hoping to get to 9k subscribers. You've smashed it like we all knew you would. Well done mate 👍
The wee jar reminds me of a beauty spot jar..
Thanks for another wonderful video John, I am happy you got your trifecta!
Wat a great day of finds Jon love the pendant and the jar/bottle and the India coin....🍻🍻🍻
Yay! Thanks John for an amazing video to enjoy on this ugly rainy windy day here in South Carolina!
The hook/ hanger thing was the same as my granny had for her 'pulley' for drying clothes. That's identical.
That thing that looked like something for hanging a coat on is some kind of 'cleat' for tying off to. Maybe for tying off the string for window blinds?
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in the beautiful hills of northeast Tennessee. Thanks so much for continuing to share these brilliant days of treasure hunting with us. Beautiful silvers from around the world. Awesome.
another fantastic day for you John and another fantastic viewing for us.
As always, an awesome video
Great little glass jar, John! I think it's probably part of a dresser set and may be a pill bottle? Love your videos!
12:30 well done 💥👏👏👏
Another great video john 👍
Roman musket balls are very rare. In fact, if Rome had muskets, they might still be ruling.
Beautiful little container 😊
13:00 min and 20:00 WOW! Go Johny!! Wonderful little jar. WTH? Glas + silver? Maybe it’s crystal?
Victorian pierced coins were added to bracelets or watch chains as souvenirs. The glass jar would be part of a set, usually for women when they traveled. Rouge, maybe. The lion passant (London or an English Assay office) and style of B appear to be 1877. The other two would probably be a leopard head and figure-head, but the placement warped the images. If I'm incorrect, someone let me know what they see, please.
So many interesting finds another great video,thanks John 😁
A great day, indeed.
I loved the silver cosmetic or similar jar with silver lid! Lucky you!!
Hi John! I think you little ink well is crystal glass!
Good job John!
Some very nice finds, I really liked that cute litle pot! Maybe that flat pendant had a cabochon on one side? Just an idea.
Gladstone bags often had similar small glass containers for men as well John, great find!
That little jar is so cool!
That silver and glass vessel is nice👍
Oh yea, your comment “ This would have bought us a fourteenth of a pint of beer……..Darn!
Too funny 😆
After dropping an item your luck improved. Nice finds.
Bro, come to Suffolk/Norfolk and you'll find a dozen hammies in an hour ;-)
Well done John, and that might be a Dux medal, so merry Christmas when it gets to you and the family... Oh an get some DIY done man... Lol
Maybe the little jar was to carry salt for a picnic
Thanks 👍
Awesome finds. The little jar with the silver top is beautiful. Great hunt and thanks for sharing!!!
A little pill box? lovely wee thing.
Great stuff buddy. I had a silver 2 anna coin, when I collected & was surprised a coin could be silver, when it was so low a value.! Silver must've been plentiful & cheap then. Take care. Bless 👊
Could be some kind of a little cosmetic vessel…good going!😮
At 23:44 Newfoundland cap badge from the Newfoundland Regiment during WW1. During that war the Regiment earned the Royal designation for the sacrifice made. Check out the battle of Beaumont Hamel and the Blue Puttees. That is a caribou on there.
The cap badge at 24:17 could be Newfoundland, which are quite desirable when complete
It certainly is. How do I know? My Great Grandfather served in that unit during the great war. I served in that unit in the 90's
The wee silver top jar used to be used to keep a lock of hair or first tooth
That lead crown is exciting - hoping we find out how old it is!
Hi John the medallion looks like its been set in a metal ring and can be pushed out
The finds don't have to be ancient to be awesome. This was a really cool and lovely collection again! 😊👍
That pretty piece you found at the 3:50 mark... It could indeed be a candle stick, but my first thought was the tip of a lightning rod maybe? I'm probably totally wrong there. Haha, I grinned, when you found another door knob. For some reason those always get me excited and I wish I could know what kind of door or drawer they once opened. The little glass jar with the silver lid is gorgeous! Was it a pill jar, or did it hold lip balm or solid perfume once? Sweet finds!
John, you've mentioned being in close proximity to a river from time to time. Have you ever given magnet fishing a go?
Amazing John , I do believe you could find sugar in a salt mine.
9:00 The Tsar, the Keizer, and the King could have formed an early version of ZZ Top.
Make music, not war. 🥳
Give it all your loving and all your hugs and kisses too. 😁
That looks like a military medal the hoop would have attached to a ribbon as you seem to have found other military cap badges and other stuff 👍
Oh yes! In addition … Congrats on the Trifector !! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
You continue to amaze us all with your knowledge and excellent commentary. I enjoyed the enhanced “George” coin with the overlay of a recognizable example. Thank you John!
Awesome finds, can't wait for the next video!
Many thanks 😊 just posted as luck would have it!!
Great finds! Could that little jar with the silver lid be a snuff box?
That pendant that you dug up looks like a coin surrounded by brass or copper ring with loops to hold it as a necklace fob… Maybe it is a coin, check it out, John!
I've found an Indian silver Anna with hole in it.. along with a 1913 Australian silver coin (again with holes) side by side on field here in the UK.. 1st WW cavalry soldiers apparently camped there back in the day.. So your theory is probably spot on. 👍
Cool finds John! I can’t wait to see what you make out on the large pendant!
Congrats on all the interesting finds and especially on the trifecta!
A silver patch box- for the moles they stuck onto their cheeks!
7:10 that is a cleat, very similar to the ones used on boats to tie them off but that one is used in a house, or barn for tying off curtains. I have a couple in my trailer for tying roll up black out curtains. Almost exactly that size. That could come in handy.
Hi John! I know I do but I am sure everyone else appreciates the time this must take, filming, editing, deciding what to include. Living vicariously through you, until you rent out time slots for us to help while we are visiting Scotland ( narf). Thank you so much. Do I detect a better video quality? Or is it just my eyes? And darn you, my drinking game for ‘oops I dropped it’ is going no where. We can’t get Clansman whisky here in Ontario…Balvenie will have to do😏. Thanks so much
Amazing jar and unbroken and silver lid with hallmarks to trace,as usual another great adventure and real treasure of discovery,love your trifecta!
