Finding 17th Century JACOBITE ERA TREASURE in Scotland!!

- As well as being a tour guide and history lover my other passion is metal detecting. What better way to learn about Scottish history than by digging it up by yourself.
This incredible find dates to around 1690 a time of terrible turbulence in Scotland as religious wars took hold and Catholic James VII and II was deposed in favour of his Protestant daughter and son in law William and Mary.
Scotland had a lot of support for James in both the catholic and Episcopalian Clans and over the next 70yrs what became known as the Jacobite rebellions kicked off with several attempts to restore the Catholic Stewarts back as rightful monarchs of Scotland and England ending in the final uprising of 1745/46 which saw the Jacobite army of Bonnie Prince Charlie soundly defeated at The Battle of Culloden on the 16th April 1746.
One can only wonder what the person who lost this coin thought about what was going on at the time and if they had any involvement in any of the uprisings from the period.
Amazing!

Nice!
As kids we would walk up to Battlefield and the nearby Cairns. 😀
Yes, I remember when it was forest there!
Always extra happy when you find something from the Jacobite era.
Thanks Tanja. I really love this period of history so to hold something almost 350 years old from that period is amazing
It threw me for a minute, metal detecting on this channel.! Excellent silver buddy. Great find.! Bless up 👊
hi john i can now watch you on my new tv it got utube on it ho happy days
Thanks Alan!! Great news, hope you enjoy
An excellent find! But you couldn’t have scratched it! You removed it from a clod clearly already scratched by the plow!
He strikes Silver again! Thank you for the video. 👍
Brilliant find John. You could welcome that every day 🤗👍
Yay! The other channel popped up. Made me so happy … beautiful coin John ✌️🤍
Thanks for my big smile! 😊
Hi!! I’ve been following your metal detector site for some time, and followed this channel too! Well the time has finally come, and I have booked my dream vacation to England & Scotland Halloween week and I wanted to know-what tour company do you work with and/or how do I make arrangements ?! It would be epic to be able to book a tour with you !!!
Awesome find! Congrats
Lovely coin John. Thanks for posting.
Many thanks. A beauty and from my favourite period of history. Over the moon with it
Doing shorts now, John? I'll take them, pal!
Hi Chris. Longer videos on the way, I e just been struggling for time!! But more coming soon
Hello John, this video surprised me. This isn’t your usual tours video but a wonderful find and very worth watching. Thank you for sharing… John
This is so cool!
Glad you like. Amazing to find something from that incredibly turbulent period in history that’s been buried almost 350years!! 😮
@visitscotlandtours1 that's why it's so amazing to see. We don't have anything* that old in the states. I can't wait to visit! You're videos have convinced me to go.
👍👍
Recap on new channel🙄 Would much
Much rather have some content from
Johns day job! Are John being Greedy?
Don’t worry Toni! Tour video coming soon. I just thought this coin was worthy of this channel because of the Jacobite context. New tours coming very soon 🥳
You do realise that both his day job and his past time are both history related? So to share footage between channels makes sense.
John are you running out of content your having to show your metal detector channel what is supposed to be a be a Scotland tour channel … come on John get a grip !!
No I’ve plenty of content for the tours with more coming soon but with this coin it’s my favourite period in history - The Jacobites - so I thought as a lot of people on this channel don’t follow my detecting channel it may be of interest to see something from the period being discovered, just as a short video 😉
See you on the next tour I hope
@@visitscotlandtours1 I guess it makes sense I do really enjoy your Scottish tour videos … of course you’ll see me again ✌🏻
I love it John!
