Fun to learn more about the worth of the coins at the time they were lost, and the likely possibility that the farmer used that gadget to pay the workers...fascinating find!
Right on!! I watched the original video, and the minute you spun the holder on it's side, I thought, "Is that a coin edge?" Such a treat to hear your reaction! Well done.
I loved this recording I’ve watched it twice how exciting to find so many coins in a really cool coin holder. Hard to believe it survived such an incredibly long time 🎉
As the coins are all pre-1947, it got me to thinking that, if history had played out differently, you might well have a coin with Edward VIII on it as well. People may not realize it, but just before he abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, the mint was only 20 days away from striking the first Edward VIII coins.
Very interesting factoid. I would think that if the coins were struck, they would not have been released or, if they were released, recalled. The chances of happening upon one is pretty near impossible. Edward was not liked after Abdication.
Recently discovered this channel and metal detecting, I am absolutely obsessed, so I went out and bought myself a starter metal detector the OMMO and now looking forward to getting out and about !! Thank you ace videos mate 👍
I was watching your video when you discovered them whilst I was on my HR long bus journey to work in the scorching heat 😂 was a great past time so thank you very much 😊 great finds well saved
I was 8 in 1966 and we had to put a shilling in the electric meter. My Dad allowed me to go up the step ladder to put a shilling in My Dad used to hand me over the shilling holder and click it. Very similar to your brilliant find.😃👍
Very cool, congratulations on such an interesting find(s). I'm enjoying working my way backwards in your collection of older vlogs. Great vibe, very cool finds & I'm learning tons in the history dept. 😎👍btw-I appreciate you showing the junk as well, it's the reality of a long old day's slog. Cheers! Canada
Haha I was looking forward to the light box at the end of the last video. Then the video ended…I just figured you were to excited 😆 Again a truly amazing find! See you on the next!
Stunning collection, what a lucky find. Fascinates me that some are pre World War 2 and some post World War 2. I tasted some Scottish strawberries recently in Wormit whilst visiting my son. The best I have ever tasted, so big and juicy, yummy!
Here is a Tip John for some of your subscribers , a quick way to clean up some silver coins is to get a piece of tin foil or silver paper from a cigarette packet enough to cover both sides of the coin then spit on the paper / coin and hold firmly between your fingers you will feel it heat up in 10-20 seconds and then you will get a smell of rotten eggs ,whilst like this rub the paper which holds the coin between your thumb and forefingers - finally check out if happy wash clean or repeat if required . Not to be used on anything of great age / significance.
17 Bob 2 tanners well that what we called shillings and sixpences when I was young As a kid I found queen Victorian coins in my change and I can remember spending shilling the same as you found Looking forward to your next video
I thought that too,.. I had to go back and watch the original video to see, and there were 3 six pences, where's the other one gone John? ☺️ Great find by the way!! Loved this video and loved your reaction, such surprise and excitement!! 😁
The spoon handle says, "Other end first." :) Congratulations on the silver, sir. It's great to watch your investment in this channel grow. Best regards.
A common addition to cash was a goodly supply of beer and/or cider from the farmer at the end of a long shift or season, to keep the workforce amenable to the hard work and stop them disappearing after one or two days. That could explain the coin losses that you have unearthed on an agricultural site, due to semi drunken revelry. The hop pickers of Kent are a particularly notable reference for this practice.
Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this in the comments, but perhaps it belonged to one of the workers who was saving up for something very important.
Great channel and videos, John, I’m looking to get into detecting properly, (your fault!), and wondered if you had arranged any discounts with Regton? Cheers! Jim Hunter.
Hi Jim. Glad to hear it! It’s a great hobby. Get into it with low expectations and you never know and seek advice from Regtons before buying so you get the right machine! The discount code is DETECTSCOT enter that at the checkout for some money off! Let me know what you get!! And happy hunting John
Cheers John! Thanks for that, and keep up the good work - I will just watch some of your videos if I get disheartened, and know that there is good stuff hiding down there! : )
Nice seeing the lot and a break down too. What a rare find , right? How can that even be dropped? A horse rider flopping around soused in the saddle coming back from the pub? He may have been the bartender with his change " drop "
I live in northern B.C. Canada, gold prospecting country. I currently use a Garrett AT Gold, but I've done a lot of relic hunting as well. However we don't get the pedigree of finds you get over there. Just lousy gold nuggets. 🤣 Cheers. 👋🇨🇦
Could have been a fruit picker’s coin holder for their some of their daily earnings. A tray of punnits might earn 1/- (12d) & half a tray 0/6 (6d). In my youth (early 1970s) I used to make some cash picking rasps in & around Brechin and was a bit of ‘A Miser’ able to earn £10ish per day. My guess is your find is from late 1940s to very early 1950s (although all of your coins are pre-1950). I recognise that type of spring-operated coin holder and it was designed to hold 20 x 1-shilling pieces (£1 0/0). A great find 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm American and remember while visiting England in the early nineties that when you spent any paper money you ended up with a huge stack of change that was a bit annoying. The one pound coin was thick and chunky, and all of the pence change was crazy. Just having a one pound note would've been nice. And that was in the decimal era. I can't imagine the amount of coinage people caried in the pre-decimal era. No wonder you find so much.
Hi John. Amazing finds in the Coin Clip, thanks for sharing. I've just bought a Deus I and I'm looking for some decent over ear headphones compatible with the puck. Do you have any recommendations?
The coin holder probably was designed to hold 20 shillings, or 1 pound stg originally. I wonder if they had been all pre-1920 shillings would they have added up to one troy pound of sterling silver!
John, you gotta post something! It's been 6 days and some of us are going thru withdrawal. Get out there and search, then post! However, all is forgiven if you are still in a heat wave!! Protect yourself! But you are missed!
I still can't believe you found that! So cool! My husband and I found a money clip while metal detecting but sadly it did not have any money in it. 😒 PS How does someone lose something like that (the coin holder)?

Wow...such a nice find!
I'd make sure to 'feed' that leather with some restoration balm or similar.
Yeah, that good!😊
Ive been watching for this! The spring loaded coin holder was the real treasure for me. A very good find!
I kept shouting at the screen that it was a coin holder, I have one for sixpences.😂
I'm glad you did the light box on that wonderful horde. They're great coins!

Another great video as always John was nice to get to see them all in the light box thanks for sharing 👍
Many thanks Smoggy

What a find that coinholder and what a nice silver coins, very special to find something like that, great!!! Congrats mate 🎉👍
Thanks for the great video John it’s not effort you come across coin holder with the coins still in the holder great find bud 🎉🏴👍
Yay! I remember having a coin holder, but it was plastic - not nearly as grand as your find . Thanks for the light box update. Take care!
I was 8 in 1966 and we had to put a shilling in the electric meter. My Dad allowed me to go up the step ladder to put a shilling in My Dad used to hand me over the shilling holder and click it. Very similar to your brilliant find.😃👍
Great find John, so unusual. The farmer would have been sore at losing that 💰💵😭
Once again. Once in a lifetime find. Congratulations!!!
I like the correlation between coins and pints! I can understand that! Great find.
Man, that coin holder is such a wild find! Spectacular! (🤞🏼 50k this year(if I say it every time, it’ll happen! 😊)).
Thank you for the update, John. Greetings from San Angelo, TX.
Thanks for sharing the light box of those great finds.
Very cool, congratulations on such an interesting find(s). I'm enjoying working my way backwards in your collection of older vlogs.

Amazing find. great content as ALWAYS.
Haha I was looking forward to the light box at the end of the last video. Then the video ended…I just figured you were to excited 😆 Again a truly amazing find! See you on the next!
Nicely done John, catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
What a sensational find for sure and what an informative video great work mate 👏 👍
Stunning collection, what a lucky find. Fascinates me that some are pre World War 2 and some post World War 2. I tasted some Scottish strawberries recently in Wormit whilst visiting my son. The best I have ever tasted, so big and juicy, yummy!
Many thanks. Some great strawberries 🍓 this year. The sunshine has made them all the bigger and sweeter!
Oh that leather, must be fine top notch stuff to be in the ground for years, that was a dandy find.
What do you/what does one usually do with your coin finds, save/display them, scrap them, sell them for cash?
Here is a Tip John for some of your subscribers , a quick way to clean up some silver coins is to get a piece of tin foil or silver paper from a cigarette packet enough to cover both sides of the coin then spit on the paper / coin and hold firmly between your fingers you will feel it heat up in 10-20 seconds and then you will get a smell of rotten eggs ,whilst like this rub the paper which holds the coin between your thumb and forefingers - finally check out if happy wash clean or repeat if required .

Excellent John, I've never seen that kind of finds.🙌🙌👍
Thank You John!
Well done once again buddy. A unique find indeed.! Bless up 👊
Would really love seeing you detect the old stone wall. Love your vids and narratives.
The lead weight is fractured. Perhaps the missing segment was 6g making the total weight around 27g (a Roman ounce)?
That & This. Is why we watch the Scottish detectorist...
Cracking report and research bud well done. Smudger
Brilliant
If in doubt, dig it out! Amazing the coin holder is still working. Lovely find. Cheers.
Really nice coins, much nicer than coins today. I remember them well. 👍
17 Bob 2 tanners well that what we called shillings and sixpences when I was young
As a kid I found queen Victorian coins in my change and I can remember spending shilling the same as you found
Looking forward to your next video
What a great haul! Thanks for giving more information on them. 👍
Amazing find !
I thought there were 3 six pences? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly. Great find. 😻
I thought that too,.. I had to go back and watch the original video to see, and there were 3 six pences, where's the other one gone John? ☺️
Great find by the way!! Loved this video and loved your reaction, such surprise and excitement!! 😁
Congratulations on the coin find! Great. On the day of the loss, this person had to go home thirsty. What a pitty.😅
The spoon handle says, "Other end first." :) Congratulations on the silver, sir. It's great to watch your investment in this channel grow. Best regards.
Great wrap up John.👍👍
Well done.
I love how you figured it was a can, a fuse and then saw the edges of a coin and stacks of them a coin holder. It was fun for sure
Going to be interesting to see what those are worth now a fantastic find indeed.
They are just lovely. Must have been quite an excitement. Congratulations.

That coin holder will take modern pound coins,I use one myself👍
Love coin to beer ratio. Easy to for me to understand.
Great channel and videos, John, I’m looking to get into detecting properly, (your fault!), and wondered if you had arranged any discounts with Regton? Cheers! Jim Hunter.

Cheers John! Thanks for that, and keep up the good work - I will just watch some of your videos if I get disheartened, and know that there is good stuff hiding down there! : )
Hi John. Tried the code, but with no luck. They didn’t recognise it! : (
Great find, what do you know about the little figure you found (dog)? Cheers!
Nice seeing the lot and a break down too. What a rare find , right? How can that even be dropped? A horse rider flopping around soused in the saddle coming back from the pub? He may have been the bartender with his change " drop "

Might not be aincent bud a hordes a horde,nice one john
Lucky you finding it. I'm sure who lost it would have been really annoyed 🙂

I can't imagine the amount of coinage people caried in the pre-decimal era. No wonder you find so much.
In 1940, what would a shilling buy? I am a Texan, and it’s hard for this yank to translate the period value of the coins.
Thanks
If you watch around the 8 minute mark he explains this.
Looks like hallmarks on the spoon handle.

I'm coming up around the Perth area at the end of the month 😉
John, you gotta post something! It's been 6 days and some of us are going thru withdrawal. Get out there and search, then post! However, all is forgiven if you are still in a heat wave!! Protect yourself! But you are missed!
Very exciting John! It looks like you have the job of paymaster for those strawberry pickers!😀
Dig it all!
A Fuse! 🤣🤣🤣 John got Confused!
Your Ya... S....🍀😜🔝❤️
What do you do with the coins that you find?
Do you have to give your finds to the farmer 😮
No doubt the man that paid workers wages lost that.
I still can't believe you found that! So cool! My husband and I found a money clip while metal detecting but sadly it did not have any money in it. 😒
PS How does someone lose something like that (the coin holder)?
So you really thought someone wanted to see a massive English fuse?? Wtf??
I’m going to turn you off right now. 😜
Mr. Y. Lucky B….. congratulations.
