    Beautiful hammered silver !!!! Good on you, John !!! I'm surprised that you couldn't remember Ferdinand Magellan. Truth is, he died mid-voyage and his navigator, Juan Sebastian Elcano completed the trip. Drake did it in 1577-80. His ship was originally named the Pelican. He renamed it mid-voyage.

    I well remember spending pre-decimal currency in my childhood back in the 1960s, I was most upset when they took away the 3d, the 6d, the half crown, and the ten bob note! In 1969, when I was 10, I got a George III half penny dated 1806 in my change in the greengrocer's. It was given to me as a Penny, because the coins reduced in size, during the great recoinage in 1860. 55 years later, I still have that coin on my keyfob, here in the USA, - I like the irony, (it was holed when I first got it).

    Hi John, brilliant finds, just an idea, how about getting a box like a tackle box and put all the things like batteries into it and keep it in the car so you don't forget anything, cheers!!!🥰😘👍👍

    John, remember to replace the battery in your pinpointer and to leave another one in your van. I bought some rechargeable ones off Amazon, each has a little USB connection built in. I can even recharge it in the car.

    When I saw that round piece of lead I wondered if someone encased a special coin in lead to conceal it ? No one would want to steal a lump of lead, it would be extra weight to carry around but I think it would be safe from theft.
    Humans do strange things to keep valuables safe.

    A wee bit of birthday luck carrying over to your finds today maybe? Except for the cow 💩! Those were some truly crackin' coins. I hadn't ever heard of the Golden Hinde, so I looked it up. According to "the Internet" a hinde is a female red deer. 🦌

  • @DerekWalsh-l4i
    @DerekWalsh-l4i 9 месяцев назад

    It's true that Victorian pennies, and occasionally halfpennies, could be found in your change right through to decimalisation in 1971. I still have many found then in my coin collection. But that hammered eclipses them all. Very well done!

    That is one sweet hammered coin, it's like Edward is watching you! That coin is about 720 years old, incredible. (some of the London minted coins are valuable, less so, those from Canterbury), yours is after 1279, (a recoinage date), but obviously before 1307.

    First it’s a heck of a day metal detecting, lots of coins and especially the hammered. Yep supposedly Ferdinand Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the globe, congratulations on another hammered silver there must’ve been quite a spill there the rest of it’s down deep only a few pieces coming up now and then you need to get a deeper metal detector and find that horde….. because they keep coming out around the same area. Another great episode. Thanks for sharing. See you on the next one.👍🏼👊🏼p.s. you really can’t carry a pocket knife in Scotland or you get arrested.????
