Could the first find be a bear? Enjoy watching, could you explain a little more about the numbers you give? That's a great silver hoard. I had one of those coin holders in the '50s, mine held sixpences.
WOW!! That's amazing to find a coin holder full of silvers... well done mate. Best Detecting channel out there......and 29.1k subs now. Keep it going John.
Hello John 👋🏻 That's really like winning the Lottery 👏🏻🍀 What a loss for the Guy who dropped it once 😳 So many Pints of Beer, he couldn't enjoy anymore 🍻🍻 Well done, Mate 🍀🍻
Well done John , I can just imagine the local landowner walking that field losing that money holder , he must have been a wealthy man. Possible out overseeing their land army girls !!!
I noticed the stones behind you when you were doing your intro. The lead figure I believe is a Britains Lion Cub, I think this was made 1949 to 1959 John, but not 100% sure at all. Oh my life!!! I was looking at the top of that thing and thought "Is that threaded?" and then it dawned on me.🤣🤣 That is amazing John!!! 👏👏👏👏Really look forward to your videos my friend.👍👍
The coin holder you have found were used by Clippies or bus conductors. There were held on a belt and used to give out change after purchase of yer ticket. There should be a spring in the bottom of the holder to push out the coins as they were removed.
I well remember the coin holders that bus conductors used but I didn't think they were made from leather. Also they were made in different sizes to accommodate shillings, sixpences, threepenny bits etc. I think leather ones may have been made and sold to the gentry types and would have held 20x 1shilling coins possibly to stop coins wearing holes in your trousers ( which obviously didn't work in this case 😮) Congratulations on finding it 👍
Congrats, that really is a brilliant find and again I'm fascinated with your knowledge of Scotlands history and all the shenanigans of the Monarchy... Keep them coming 👍
Hi, what a glorious scoop, a bounty of silver coins - a real piece of history. A beautiful coin holder, bet it looks perfect when polished up . Also loved the bear/dog. btw your searing heat of 25 degrees 🥵 is my perfect winters day 😊🤣😂. Have a great day cleaning up your hoard.
Immense find John, imagine how devastated the owner was back in the day!!! I'm thinking a soldiers war pay and lost it on the way home. And 80 years later its found. Beautiful story
oh wow wee...what a great find John...and all silvers to boot ! i can imagine that the farmer or farm worker who lost that missed out on a few cold beers there ! well hunted all the best GL&HH Gordon.
John , the detecting gods definitely shine down on you ! John , still waiting on you to take those silver ingots to the museum to fine out for sure who made them and for what they were used for.
WoW, the coin holder was amazing. And, I really liked the little animal as well. What a fun couple of finds. I hope your next trip is just as productive. Greetings from Texas, where the temperatures have been 105 to 114 degrees F for the last few days, that's even too hot for us native Texans. Stay cool and hydrated in the Scottish heat.
Ha! Very thoughtful of the detection gods to serve up such a nicely-stacked silver hoard! Did people use those dispensers instead of a change purse? That's a new one on me.
Thank you John for sharing another exciting video with us. I remember as a child dreaming that I was finding coins on the ground. The finds were endless until I woke up and had nothing to show for it! Your money clip was a real find of a life time!
That’s awesome John! Mind goes wild thinking who lost that and what arguments occurred!😂 Maybe it was farm workers wages? Or a days takings from a market! Brilliant find mate
John…you’ve perfected the art of metal detecting. Why dig silver coins, one at a time…when, instead, you can find a whole tube filled with collectibles. You’re truly Blessed, my friend. That coin holder has a spring, pressing against a sliding metal plate. So, you keep staking coins, until the spring is fully compressed. That coin holder can hold up to 20 coins…yep. Pretty COOL find. Blessings, from this old man in Tennessee.
That discovery was amazing! Well done, John!! I'm so happy for you, that's like a detectors dream! Most of those coins are in excellent condition as well. The person who lost it must've been heartbroken. I'm so glad you found that treasure, you deserve it! p.s. I think that wee animal you found is a bear.
I remember when pound coins came out at first and they had those holders. I thought they were a new invention then lol. What an amazing find! It was great watching you go through them all!
This video was so much fun! Thank you so much for clearly showing each find, turning it over and over so your audience gets a really good look. Of all the metal detecting videos I enjoy yours the most because of this attention to including all of us and your friendly, informative banter, as if we are all just hanging out together.
What a great find! I'd say well worth digging in the heat. 😅 Listening to the excitement in your voice made it all the more fun to watch. Thanks for sharing and stay cool!
John, You had me cheering and sitting on the edge of my seat while you were taking out coin after coin after coin after coin… Congratulations!! Fantastic find!
Yes John!! What an absolute belter of a video I was as happy as you watching you remove them silvers from the holster!! What a great day and great video as always John thanks for sharing 👍
My favorite video in several weeks.I think the figurine is a bear. You sure have the time lie right, though. Probably made either before WW1 or between wars. Of course, you couldn't get led during the wars and injection plastic took over after. The change purse is a wonderful find. Couldn't believe the spring was still working. Good on ya!! Weather is weird all over. Cheers.
Wow your silver coin roll of our favorite guy was absolutely amazing! 🎉 What a difference a day makes! Think of all the squishy bottles of sunblock your going to have after this heatwave!
John, I live in South Florida and have spent a good bit of my life in other, tropical sunny places around the world. Here's some advice for dealing with the rare, hot sunny days in Scotland: Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing and hats. Being able to turn up your collar protects your neck from sunburn so, yeah shirts with collars. Polo or Golf shirts with long sleeves if you can find them. Dark colors absorb sunlight and can overheat you so avoid dark shirts, hats etc. As for the hat. A hat that you can wet also helps keep you cool. As the water evaporates from it it has a real cooling effect. When it starts to dry out, wet it again. ~ All the best M8
What a brilliant find! Your years of experience in Detectoring and patience have paid off. I love the show and I admire that you are so knowledge about your history.
An unbelievably awesome horde, crackin' hat and wonderful history! 30K subs on the horizon too. Amazing mate, and whoever lost that coin holder must have been weeping into an empty pint glass....!
Oh my how fantastic a find was that!! This is what we detectorists dream of! Sure we all find the occasional 3 to 5 coin spill, but a jam packed coin holder full of silver coins!? So they are not really super old, but who cares. What a cool find! God bless you my man for sharing that. I wish you Continued success.
Every detectorist dreams of a find like this one - a handful of silver coins in a holder. Way to go. If this video doesn't get you over 30K subscribers, nothing will. Congratulations.
Many thanks Clark. Took a lot of detecting a shooting video to turn up this I can tell you. I’ve done about 30hrs detecting this past few weeks and almost no footage from it, but that’s detecting for you! The good stuff comes along eventually…. Hopefully!
What a fantastic find! You are such a lucky Scotsman! You should go out and guy a lottery ticket, with that kind of luck! Just make sure NOT to polish those coins, they are far more valuable in the condition they are in, in fact the best way to keep everything's value is to get the coin holder back into fully operating condition by removing the dirt and sand in it and then keeping the coins and the holder together as part of their display, showing how they were found. the bottom section of that coin holder should be threaded so it can be removed, either that or the top section but they had to have been able to put the thing together so it should come apart to be cleaned and then reassembled. What a beautiful find, though, this must have been a terribly expensive loss for whoever dropped it all those years ago. I feel for the poor guy who lost all that money. Money went considerably further back then, than it does today.
Ha ha I used to have one of those coin holders for - think it belonged to my day and love the spring action pushing coins in and out! Great find John and your other coins too 👏👏
Unbelievable John. Some folks get all the luck. You jammy git 😄 That is one cool find. I hope you polished the leather for display. We'll done get again buddy. Another great adventure 👏
I love watching metal detecting. Glad I discovered your channel. The finds here, in the states, aren’t older than the late 1700’s. AND your accent is pretty awesome!!
Another thought I've had. In the late 1970's people were clambering for silver coins as they were being withdrawn. You'd look through your change for them. Silver was fetching 13x face value. It may have been from someone doing this. Those coin dispensers were popular around that time.
The animal looks like a bear. I wonder if something could be buried beside/behind one of those standing stone gate posts. Such an amazing find with that coin holder. Vendors at ball games used to have similar coin holders in the forties and fifties.
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. Nice hat, John…I like it. You and Indiana Jones must be good friends. Awesome content, as always. Blessings, from this old man in northeast Tennessee. That small critter you dug, looks like a grizzly bear, to me.

The owner of that coin holder must have been devastated on realising they had lost it.
Great find for you though John. 30k subs on the horizon!!!👍

Could not have happened to a nicer man! Congratulations!!🎉
Unbelievable coin hoard John. Amazing that the coin holder stayed intact all that time! Well found M8. Cheers, John.
Excellent find John, think those coin dispenser were used to pay the tattie howkers back in the day.
John , the detecting gods definitely shine down on you !
John , still waiting on you to take those silver ingots to the museum to fine out for sure who made them and for what they were used for.
Dont think the workers would have been paid that day for working in the field, the farmer lost their pay! Cracking find!
Thanks Pete. Great suggestion I think that’s what it was, for paying the labourers and it was a berry farm back in the 1940’s!
My thought exactly.
Congrats, so exciting
Many thanks 😊

What a fantastic find. Thank goodness this Scotsman didn't succumb to the scorching 25°C heat before stumbling upon the hoard. Way to go Johnno 🪙😁👍🏼😁🪙
Amazing. I kept yelling to you "it's a roll of coins" and you finally heard me.

I'm loving your lead toy... which looks like a bear to me ; I laughed at your guesses lol

Ahhh, of course it’s a bear 🐻 thanks!
That’s awesome John! Mind goes wild thinking who lost that and what arguments occurred!😂
Maybe it was farm workers wages? Or a days takings from a market! Brilliant find mate
Thanks Mark. Yes quite a find and a sad loss for someone, maybe a weeks wages back then 😮

What a dream find John. well done. The chances are it was lost in the 1940's because of the lack of Copper nickel .
