- An incredibly rare find from the fields of Perthshire in Scotland thanks to the XP DEUS 2.
Before finding this silver I never even knew that they existed.
But how rare is it and is it a million dollar discovery?!? 🤩

Silver one and a half pence coin. Struck for colonial use in Ceylon, where it was worth 4 stivers (1 fanam) and the West Indies (Jamaica, British Guiana and Trinidad) where it was equivalent to 1/4 real.
Yes I agree, I thought she was Empress of India though?
Maybe bury the description of the coin deeper in the text. I like not knowing what he found and your comment was the first thing I saw.
There were apparently 1,869,000 coins minted for 1842.
Although, ownership levels of the 1842 example appear to be quite low.
I wonder why?
@@weedfreer They were also a coin given away with Maundy Money, but the 1842 ones were definitely in circulation.
@@weedfreerbecause they’re easy to lose and hard to find.
Here in the USA we have silver 3 cent pieces that date to the same time and are about the same size as your Victoria. Most Americans have never heard of it. Congratulations on the find.
The 3 cent US coin (trime) was 14mm in size. Those 1.5P coins were 12mm in size. A very VERY small coin.
There's also a 3 cent nickel as well that's very hard to come by..
Here in the Netherlands we have a silver 5 cent piece which is 12,5 mm, I think about ± 5 million were minted in between 1848 and 1887, but they are not found regularly.
Thank you Mrs. Scottish Detectorist. Team work makes the dream work 😊. Seriously, your wife is a keeper for sure. Love the 1 1/2 pence.
You'd be surprised at how many coins were made under Victoria, I have several 1/3 of a farthing.
Quarter Farthing, Third Farthing, Half Farthing, Double Florin etc
Great coin,, 1,870,000 minted I believe. Very fine worth around $27.00 US, A 60 rating is worth around $180.00 US. Great show .
So, depending on condition, worth a pretty good dinner out for you and Mrs. D. if you ever cross the Pond...

McDaniels on the low end. I'd say it's probably in the middle, but I know nothing about mints.
They were minted from 1838 to 1862...The 1842 was the only one that had over a million minted.
That was interesting to see something I've never seen before! As a person from the US, I'm always surprised by how HUGE a lot of those coins you find are. I get that hundreds of years ago a penny would have been worth something so the coins were large, but in the later years they kept on making them really big despite them not being worth much. I expect it was a bit of a hassle having to carry those things around, especially if you needed a pile of them to buy anything.
I looked up that 1-1/2 pence coin and it was struck for use in Ceylon and the West Indies so I'm guessing it is rare in Scotland. Nice find!
Wonderful finds today John, I agree that silver coin is tiny. Love the horse brass too!! Thank you and your lovely wife for giving you more digging time.
I am a Scottish non-detectorist but I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and your knowledge. I also love reading the comments from your friends across the world.
Colonial coin minted for Ceylon and The West Indies
And only minted in 8 different years between 1838 and 1870.
Very nice mate! Love the old "three-halfpence" for the colonies. Unusual find and yes as others have mentioned they were made to circulate in Ceylon and the West Indies but found their way into circulation in Britain. There were 1.8 million of them minted in 1842 and they all seem to have that "dropped 2". The silver Maundy one pence is even smaller.
Here in Australia coinage was a real problem in the early days of the colony and we used all sorts of coinage from Georgian pennies to Spanish dollars and even Indian and Portuguese gold as Proclamation currency. At one point things were so desperate we used rum! Then we moved onto standard British coins from about 1820 and occasionally a three-halfpence turns up in old collections.
Gold, silver and bronze! An Olympic trifecta event! Cheers from New Orleans
@@rhettoracle9679 I love New Orleans. Is it 100 degrees yet? I walked two miles reading meters today in 83 degrees and that was hot enough for me!
I saw three wild turkeys and some beautiful clouds. Life is good!
@@bretthess6376 Been in the upper 90's lately. The Wild Turkey seen here is in a bottle.
your wife is a wonderful woman and I know you treat her well I do miss seeing Jura and I love that you're able to bring us such amazing videos and discoveries as well as being a tour guide for Scotland for those of us that feel a strong pull to that land❤
Curiously, John, most pattern coins made for Edward viii in 1937 in the UK show him facing left. Therefore 3 consecutive kings, George v, Edward viii, and George vi all faced left, although some pattern coins for Edward, in New Zealand, show him facing left, and some facing right. So left-right-left seemingly was not rigidly being applied in the UK in the mid-30s.
I think I heard it was because Edward broke with tradition because he preferred the other side as his profile and wanted his hair part to be on the coin. It appears that it was a vanity thing lol
The 1½ Pence is a colonial for use in Ceylon, West Indies (Jamaica, British Guiana and Trinidad), great find John!
Edit: Minted between 1838-1870
I love the horse brass! (and the wee coin is so cute)
My dad worked with Clydesdales in the late 40s/early 50s to do heavy duty logging. He was the biggest animal lover I’ve ever known but he disliked horses, which was always super weird to me until I found out about him trying to get huge logs off of big mountains with stubborn horses. 😂
What a lovely silver John, there’s no end to the amount of unusual rarer coins you find. Never seen one of those 1 1/2 pence before and so unusual to be silver for that little amount? You might be out digging on your own but your commentary is excellent and so full of historic info. That horse brass is is perfect too 🎉🎉
The 1 and 1/2 pence coin back in 1842 was designed to buy stamps
The amount of history that you bring is astounding mate! I love this channel, I used to own a Deus 2. I’ve subscribed to “The Hoover Boys” going on 5 years now. We get some spectacle buckles from the early 1600s but nothing compares to finding a hammered Roman coin or older lying around in a carrot patch!
I've watched Hoover's a lot. First Europeans here in MD were 1634. Earliest I've seen Hoover Boy's on is 1650 or so.
@@calliecooke1817
I’m just going by the buckle book, it has ranges of production dates for spectacle buckles. Kurt just found a 1620’s buckle is all.
Lovely find all thanks to Mrs John for her help as well 😊
Would you consider showing some photos of your highland uncle and his Shire horses. They must be lovely and, I think, interesting to see. Love your channel.
These tiny coins were originally struck for use in the British Colonies which were at the time using imperial currency. Although these coins were never meant for use in Britain they gradually found their way back and into circulation. Issued in various years during the reign of Victoria from 1838-1862 these scarce coins have become part of British coin collections.
An absolutely Clanger, RARE Coin. Well done John… Does it get any better 😮😅😊
Beautiful finds today John. Congratulations!
Great field!
Yay! Glad you could get back in the fields.
Take care of those bendy thumbs!
Wow, great find with the tiny silver coin! Hello from Oregon, USA
Great finds!!
Great finds John 👍 congratulations
Cracking 1&1/2 pence.
I've never even heard of one before! And very nice condition.
Excellent video as usual, ty again for the history lesson, I always appreciate that..keep them coming ❤
The standard weight of this coin was 1/44 troy ounce or 10.9 grains. Struck for colonial use in Ceylon, where it was worth 4 stivers (1 fanam) and the West Indies (Jamaica, British Guiana and Trinidad) where it was equivalent to 1/4 real.
Unbelievable. That is all. 😂
That was an awesome find I looked it up thanks for sharing John and yes it was not sure how uncommon it is.
Lots of fun !!
Nice coins today! Thanks for the video.
Love the 1842 John...have it graded and save it my friend, congrats..🍻🍻🍻
Good evening! Looking forward to this one.
llove to hear about the rare one John. very curious
I'm sure you've had one before because I remember writing a comment about it, unless it was under someone else's video 😂 It's called a Three Halfpenny, and an awful lot of these were minted in 1842 (over a million), and were presumably for Overseas Territories. They were also given out as Maundy Money. I don't know if there was any difference between the overseas and maundy coins because I haven't looked that hard, or if they were legal tender in the UK.
I'm sure it was your video I commented on, because I ended up going down a rabbit hole, but I am a bit ditzy at times.
Minted for commonwealth use , three ha'pence.
Lovely silver john 👌
Mr. Surely John is so Lucky with his
Subscribers helping him identify
Rare Coins! Guess Johns Boss Wife👍
Has decided He's a Keeper! Or is it
The incoming 8 mill. Views?!🤣🤣🤣😜
Pretty historical day in UK ( United Kaos) worst result since 1832?!
And they deserve it. Keep up the
Good Job John😜🔝❤️
What a great find😮If it was for use in the colonies one wonders about the person who dropped it in a Scottish field.
I found one of those here in canada a few years ago, one of my fav finds
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. More lovely finds. First time I’ve heard of a 1 ½ anything coin…but it’s Silver. Definitely rare…and lovely. Blessings John.
Maundy money. I’ve got one too from 1700’s - aberdeenshire
Great dig John. Never heard of or seen a silver 1 1/2 pence coin, great find.
Thats one of the fantastic things about this hobby, we're always learning. Well saved 👍
1842 three-ha'penny silver coin, very impressive, for colonial use, minted between 1838-1862, and a proof in 1870. In that condition, it's worth about 14 quid - in 2019 value
Hi John. Great finds today. Not sure if you’ve mentioned this before but will you be attending Detectival this year?
Lovely silver Victoria 3 pence spink 3195 page 472 , Three Halfpence part of the Maundy set well saved
WOW Congratulations on ur silver coin 😊
im liking the Jethro program ,will be trying it on the beach soon too
What an amazing coin 🪙!
Lunch time entertainment here
On your silver coins, try squirting, isopropyl, alcohol or rubbing alcohol. Same thing it drives very fast and it gets them very clean.
Exciting coin! Tiny coin for a tiny queen! 😉
there were 1.8 million 1-1/2 pence silver coins minted in 1842, they ran from 1838 -1862 i think
1842 1 1/2 in excellent shape up to $50.. congratulations 👏,
You always seem to find something kool
Like a Canadian fishscale 5c silver, I dig them up from tome to time.
1, 1/2 pence coin. Nice find Jocky 👍👍
When you turned that big shiny button, I audibly gasped for some reason XD
You better update us on that tiny coin. I'm curious too. ❤❤❤❤
Silver three halfpence , lovely find
You had a great day 😊
Would love to see the pictures of your great Uncle's horses
nice coin john that rare
Braw find John! Always enjoy. Tell Simon to hurry and get back to digging with you.
I just wanted to hear you say “purple burglar alarm”.
ceylon and west indies circulation...william IV had a 1.5 pence too 1830's i think
👏👏👏Brilliant find of the 1 & half penny silver. They weren't minted for British use, but silver is silver, so I'm sure some found their way back. Great stuff. Really enjoyable. Cheers mate 👍
The 1 1/2 coin is cool, and you didn’t drop it! Good finds in the second half of the today, enjoy the rain!
a 1.1/2 penny cool around the £40 mark well saved
By the sounds of it, there’s an investigation required into just who from the colonies may have been there working the land in those parts at that period of time.
Surely there’d be some county records which could shine a light maybe?
Nice silver coin!
Lovely three half pence 🔥👌
Great coin John, i would jiber jaber too if i found that coin
Maundy Silver worth about £70
Double dig day 🎉 Really thought your horse 🐴 brass was nice. No wonder the coin was lost it was so tiny 😮
What a day, that wee 1 1/2 pence Victorian coin is amazing, and this was such an exciting group of coins on this field. You need to return to it again!
👏🏼👏🏼
Excellent finds. 😃 Maybe that decorated oval was a brooch and the pin back is missing? I do like the idea though that they decorated their beloved Shires.
I had a 1-1/2 pence a couple of weeks back and was stunned at how small it was
I don’t even know they existed lol
Well done
Ooh..Wednesday evening entertainment ..👍🏴
Proper little history stick the Deus 2 👏
Thought the vicky 3 pence was small but that's tiny..Well done..👏
congratulations
Very nice round👍
It's are very small fine silver coin🥰
I hope you was at the next Detectival, and i can find a hammered coin, too
Best wishes from South Bavaria 🤘
1 1/2 d coin. Maybe Maundy money. Great find.
Love your programs, but you really need to take a magnifying glass with you to look at some of these things you can’t get inscriptions off of
Do you mark each find digitally? It would be amazing to see if there’s a pattern, like a trail or a long gone house.
Great find. Only worth about $12 American
Three-Halfpence 1842 ❤
I found one!
I have a George III silver 1 pence in my collection. It’s quite a bit smaller than your 1-1/2 p.
Maundy Money. 1 1/2 pence. Half a thrupenny. Very nice find.
Never seen a coin like that what a find 1 1/2 denom from 1842 early Queen Victoria young head. So small too to find. I see it weighs not even one gram! but .925 silver fineness
LOL...I have a cat named Jethro.
The blue & white looked 1700's to me John. (My mum used to collect it).
