What an awesome day John, really pleased for you mate. As for the cast dog, many 20th century UK childrens toys and toy figures carried the word foreign if not made in Britain. I remember that as a very young boy in the mid 1960s a lot of my own cast toys were marked foreign.
Wow, part 2 is just as good as part 1! I can only imagine such a day of detecting. We obviously don't have anything medieval here in W.Texas, but I went nuts over a couple of Buffalo nickels in one day, and that is not anything as amazing as what you found. Someday you will have another video from the same field with even more spectacular finds soon. Cheers from Texas.
Excellent dig, so pleased for you. The little dog does say foreign, I remember from my childhood in the 50s lots of toys just said “foreign” rather than the country they originated from, so well done.
What an amazing day. Ive been detecting a little longer than yourself. It took me 22 yrs to find a gold coin and found a second one two weeks later. Yes i cried no shame in that. Fantastic video. Thanks
I think the gilded disk has had holes drilled into it to make a children’s toy. My understanding is they threaded string through the holes and twisted it to make the disk spin. The simple joys of an earlier time. I do wonder what it was originally made for, though. So glad to see you so happy. It is a nice balance to all those days you go out and find nothing but aluminum.
Congratulations John what a day!! The adorable little dog looks like a Cairn Terrier and with the loop on the back, perhaps a Christmas ornament? I have a question maybe you can answer. I watch a lot of detectorists and I have never seen one find a coin from the time of Henry VIII. Have you ever found one and do you know why they are so scarce? Thank you John and good luck .❤️
Two hypotheses for the hammered coins. 1) An English encampment preceding the First Scottish War of Independence, or 2) Grave coins (often placed on the eyes of the dead) from the church graveyard scattered during the deconsecration. Is it known that any bodies in the churchyard were translated(moved elsewhere) when the church fell out of use?
Congratulations on part 2! Hopefully you can get the hoarde finder soon. Thanks for letting us tag along on this glorious day. Keep that dog with you, he's a good luck charm now.
John, You slimey Swine...😉 What a lucky day for You - what a lucky day for us, that You let us be a part of Your heart-attacking "Wow-moments"...😯 Unique the second, You realize it must be a Hammered or Gold or something other breathtaking relic of history! Let it be Scottish...😂✌ Greetings from Switzerland
What an amazing day for you and what a great field that is! You deserve the best of finds John for all your patience and hard work and the best entertainment you give everyone with your knowledge. Doesn’t that gold looks gleaming in the light box, tears were justified 🥲🥲🥲 Excellent! 🤩🥂
The amount of emotion you show is honestly something I respect really much. It comes across as really genuine. Put a smile on my face and made my day better, so I appreciate it. Congrats on all the finds. Your videos has made me pretty interesting in trying metal detecting myself some day.
I believe the unidentified disk about 6:20 is a “freeze plug” from old engine. There would be on one either side and if temp got below freezing the plug would pop out saving the engine block from cracking.
Nice having breakfast with you again John I’m part way in to your video what a ripper day your having Woke up to 20 degrees centigrade and forecast for 37 Seeing you in you Woolley hat and layers not felling as hot Great finds when you celebrate your finds don’t get to hammered ha ha
23:56 that looks like a "weld" where they would have tacked on the loop, and a very poor looking weld at that, possibly had an attempted repair?? I'm wondering if the little terrier was a trinket for someone's watch chain. No matter, you had a grand day's dig and you're grand for sharing!!
Like I just commented on part 1, your joy is so infectious and I never get tired watching your digs! 🤩 Such awesome finds!! I hope, you can get back to that field soon. I'm so curious what else might be hiding in the ground there. 😊
Congrats John again wat a day...I'd say the thin one is a dandy button the dog looks pewter and the coins are juss stunning absolute perfect day in all ways my friend, enjoy🤙 have a few pints tonight u earned em..ur buying though🍻🍻🍻
Such a fantactic day! Can't wait to see what you find with the lend of the hoard hunter machine. Foreign was stamped on a lot of pottery too back in the day on stuff made overseas. The dog certainly looks like Greyfriars bobby!
Hey John 👋🏻, You're the King of hammered Coins now 👏🏻👏🏻 I really enjoyed Part 1&2! How amazing 😍 In almost 25 Years detecting i've been only once able to find a Continental Silver from Edward I Period... Congrats and keep going 🍀🍀🍻
Congrats, John! A other great part 2! WOW! Could the little dog be a Westie or a Cairn terrier? Whatever, I think he brought you the luck! Thanks for another great dig !!!
Damn John! I teased you in last video about needing a paramedic but after this video I might need one myself!!!! THE HUNT TO RIVAL ALL HUNTS SIR!!! I think I need a drink!!! Well deserved CONGRATS!!!!! I THINK I MIGHT NEED TO LAY DOWN!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What an incredible day in the fields brother! God gifted you some incredible finds (of course the detector had some to do with it too). :) My heartiest congratulations on your exceptional day, and thank you so very much for taking us along on your finds. Slainte Mhath!
What a day! You’re a lucky so and so🍀Great to watch and see your excitement finding the hammered. Nothing left for me to do but get out there myself today and see if I can get anything even half as exciting:
More amazing finds! What a day! The thru-pence was my favorite coin as a young child. I have quite a few in my jewelry box. But all those hammered! Wow!
I love your happiness. I have watched other metal detectorists and they show very little emotion about a hammer. While watching them, im more excited than them! So, its fantastic to watch someone who acts like i would, in that situation. Again congratulations 👏
Absolutely amazing day John part 1 was so overwhelming I was absolutely buzzing for you had a lump in my throat along with you was so happy for you this really is the field of dreams cannot wait to see what else comes up from it in the future keep up the hard work mate and thanks for sharing 👍🏻
part 2 was as great as part 1 you must be on cloud 9 at the moment John fantastic finds the light box helps to get a better look at your finds thanks again cheers
Your absolutely priceless reaction just goes to show how much heart you put into detecting. I didn't want others laughing at me, but hey-ho... the little dog does it for me 🥰Congratulations!! 🙌
Excellent, been watching you for a while..and have to say best educational historical metal detection I've seen to date..thankyou. ps I think the dog might be scotlands beloved westie...
Omg John!! 😮😱😭😱😭😱😭😱😭 what a rollercoaster of a video!! Congratulations on all those Hammereds! My heart was pounding at each hole, wondering if you were going to turn up a box full of them and that Gold coin too, my goodness what a field! When are you going back there? (Am hoping you've already been!!) 🤣🤣🤣 fantastic! Much love Chez 😘
Fantastic stuff buddy Amazing day. Thank you for sharing. Your reactions were priceless, with all those hammereds & a cracking gold.! What a day.!! Awesome. ! Bless 👊
Bet John had to take something nerve- Calming together with his Lunch🤣🤣👍😜 Predict theres some good days In the future. Don't think its a Jeton! Dandy button. Hammered Silver pennies could have been lost at the Same time, or digged down on purpose. Wich means that there could be a Hard somewhere substantial amount in Beer money. What will the flooded Potato field reveal and the old trackway?! John are going to be busy 😱😜🔝❤️
Incredible John! 😁 When you replied to my comment on the Part 1 vid you weren't wrong! 😄 Well you can never moan about another Gorgious George coin ever again now you know ;) You need to name the wee dog definitely, and possibly we might have to go in to lockdown here in Perthshire if you keep finding these Treasures! Just brilliant, and so pleased for you.
Absolutely fantastic day .. I couldn’t believe my eyes .. I was just as excited as you was ..every find I was holding my breath waiting to see what else it could be .. I’ve said recently you was due a day like this …especially finding gold …how right was I … congrats John ..hope the next day is as exciting
Congratulations again on such an incredibly successful and memorable day! Sure glad that you had to leave the other field because it was too muddy. Almost like you were meant to go and find what you did. Extremely jealous, but also very happy to see you have such a wonderful day! Cheers from near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Stunning. I am so glad that you’re going to get the upgraded detector to use to find out what the deal is in this field. I would think all your friends would want to come and search here as well! Enjoy.
Well done mate what a day.will be very interested to know your state of mind when you go out digging next time? I had 8 roman coins and 2 roman brooches in one day and remember going out shortly after and being disappointed having only found 2 roman coins and another roman brooch the next trip. A few days finding nothing soon put my feet firmly back on the ground but I will watch your next outing with great interest. Keep up the good work.😊
well hunted John...and you have your scattered hoard, my first hoard of 5 pennies was on a line between a village and a Church...i bet there's more on that field..it's certainly big enough ! congratulations again....GL&HH Gordon.
What a red letter day. Most people could put in months or even years for 5 silver hammered coins and you go and get 5 in a day, plus a Gold coin and some other really lovely finds 🐕. Delighted for you John. Keeps those videos coming please.
Never be embarrassed or ashamed about exciting finds and your reactions. Happy for you.
Here! Here! That’s why we tune in for your videos! Still I have to admit to just a touch of jealousy!
Congratulations John!

Excellent dig, so pleased for you. The little dog does say foreign, I remember from my childhood in the 50s lots of toys just said “foreign” rather than the country they originated from, so well done.
What a day! Congratulations, John, glad the weather was nice and the fields dried enough to bring you some spectacular finds. 🥰💕❤️👍👍

What an amazing day. Ive been detecting a little longer than yourself. It took me 22 yrs to find a gold coin and found a second one two weeks later. Yes i cried no shame in that. Fantastic video. Thanks
Many thanks. That’s sometimes how it works out. Though the machines have a lot to do
With it too!! Amazing. Well done 👏

Soooo Good!! I would love to be the museum evaluator and just look at all the finds all day. I love the medieval stuff too :)
I hope you can go back and locate the Mother Lode from whence these pieces migrated😮!

Amazing buddy! Scattered hoard maybe? Suppose gps would tell you.. LOVE the Scotty dog!😊
Congratulations on part 2! Hopefully you can get the hoarde finder soon. Thanks for letting us tag along on this glorious day. Keep that dog with you, he's a good luck charm now.

Wonderful Part 2 almost as good as Part 1...I think I'll have to come to Scotland the homeland of my ancestors.
Stunning. I am so glad that you’re going to get the upgraded detector to use to find out what the deal is in this field. I would think all your friends would want to come and search here as well! Enjoy.
