      I'm lucky enough to work and detect where I live so it is truly amazing!
      Cheers!

    Great video as always total agree about people in the countryside is essential that they carry a knife with them I've had one since I was 5 years old and few times has been a life saver as I rode horses 👍

      @richardalmond2328 I had a knife that i carried with me for about 15 year.....and lost it somewhere! Still haven't found it though. You get attached to them and the one you replace it with is never quite as good....

    Loads of good finds , we think the pin with the hole in is as per Cleggys ID , part of a flint lock on a gun .

      @1AndyMead it would have took me a while to figure it out without being told that's for sure! Appreciate the guidance! All the best

    Lol. I must of found hundreds of flint lock threaded pin like hole things except the pin isn't from any flint lock pistol. 😀. Your threaded holed pin item is one of two which were used on Georgian / Victorian brass drawer handles. The pins went through the wood draw front and a nut put on the back to secure the pins in place but before this was done a brass handle with a spigot on each end went in the holes then the whole thing tightened down and secured. 🙂. Now for your best find you have made since I started watching your videos ( the gold cufflink is awesome though) the button @52:00 is absolutely fantastic that button is worthy of being in a museum. Any LOYAL VOLUNTEER button dating from 1770 - 1820 is true military history. 😀. Unfortunately you cleaned it for just a second and I can't quite read it all, it could read DURHAM CITY LOYAL VOLUNTEERS with a date of 1798 on it and Durhams coat of arms. . I am not 100% on the information but I researched this. City of Durham Loyal Volunteers (Infantry) (1798-1802), commanded by Captain-commandant Howden Philipson Rowe. I love early military buttons and that one is a brilliant find. 👍. Better than any bog standard hammered by a country mile. 🙂. HH.

      @myview1875 thanks again for your knowledge! I should do a video one day going over my finds, and buttons to see if there's something better than I expected in there! Or something I thought was good that's actually just pap!
      Cheers!

    I think the pin is from a flint lock weapon. According to Cleggy

      @Authurius wow! I'd never given that possibility a thought!
      And probably is in keeping time wise with alot of the other finds.
      Really appreciate that!
      All the best, ross
