I think the hammered coin is John. The reverse is the mint of Durham and the moneyer is Pieres. It's a very nice coin for the type. They kept the same design and name of Henry II because the coins of Henry were know throughout the UK and Europe as trusted good silver. They wanted to maintain the appearance of quality.
So that means the coin was made around 1199 to 1216.. or a bit after, that’s crazy old and extremely rare to find those hammered coins in that good of condition
The coin looks to be a Pieres on Durham, class 5c (the X of REX on the obverse has rippled limbs so that makes it a 5c) shortcross penny. It's King John and was minted 1206-07. A lovely coin, very well done.
Always amazed that a coin can be lost for 800 years without being destroyed by farming activities. Plus, it was in a field that had been detected many times before. That is why I keep tuning in. Great job, Martin and John.
Many thanks Steven. Just shows you, but if that coins on its edge or deeper than six inches you’ll never find it…. That’s why ploughed fields just keep on giving 🤩
'Tyree' was the title of a book by Hermann Melville, who famously wrote Moby Dick. Do you ever feel inclined to ram sailing ships that have tossed pointy sticks at you? If so, it's only natural. I'd do the same myself. 😁😁😬😁😁
To my mind, John, the most exciting find of the day was the decorated silver strip. I'm pretty sure it's a small Viking decorated broad-band silver arm ring. They were used for currency around 800 to 900 AD in areas where coinage wasn't circulating. I was with the finder of the Galloway hoard on the amazing day when we found the hoard so know them well. Well done to Martin! But a lovely coin too!
What a beautiful day! Congratulations to Martyn! So many awesome finds on the field that keeps on giving. Well done John. Not only on the finds but for the 40k as well. Keep detecting and I will keep watching and learning…😊
Wow!! What A coin marty lad! Some nice finds there John I've had a month off RUclips so I'm gunna enjoy tonight watching the 16 videos I've missed gunna be a long night 😂 thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍
Happy Sunday! Waking up to you and Martin on the fields of Perthshire. Many of the coins in that field were beauties, but Martin’s silver coin was amazing. 🥰💕❤️👍👍
That item after the muffler is a shire horse bell hanger I believe. My friend found a complete one in wales and I found all the bells that were attached to it 👍🏻
Much appreciated John. And I think the hammered is a John!! Dating from around 1205-1207…. What a way to get your first silver with the new machine XP DEUS 2
@@thescottishdetectorist I didn’t know Martin had gotten a Deus 2 but he made a good choice. It seems like he is on his way with finding good targets with it. The best to both of you… John
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Definitely medieval. A great field. That round thing with the ceramic inserts is part of an antikythera machine, from the ancient city of Atlantis. Yep…I recognize it…sure thing. Lots of awesome coins.
It would be so awesome to make such a find. Great for Marty. The other finds were very interesting as well, and a great outing even without the hammered coin. Cheers from Texas.
Wow congratulations Martin!!! What a find!!. Being from California I'm thrilled when you all find something from the 1800s and then you find something that was around in the 1200s!!!! So cool!!!🎉🎉
Wow that first coin you found is awesome. The hammered coin Martin found, crazy old! That is exciting. Also love the owl decorated case you found. Great work
😮😮😵💫😵💫🤩🤩. That got me ooohing and aaahing. UN-BE-LIEVABLE!! Jeez Marty… Congratulations!!! Seems like George the third has contracted some skin problems from the Scottish soil John. The matchbox is a nice find too mister Mac. Give that man a cigar!
Hi John, what a great day. You and Martin work so well together. I'm pretty sure the pretty little "angel thing" with one wing broken, is a lamp finial. Used to hold the lamp shade on. They screw onto the top of the lamp harp and hold the shade tight. Great video ❤ Dava
A great show as always John and it was a busy 3 hours for you I love the vesta and owl , what a shame it's crushed. Last but not least congratulations to Martin on his hammered silver a very interesting and entertaining video.
Martin's coin is a John. I found one in Warwickshire when i visited last year. It was my first signal on a friends farm! We are luck to find early Victorias here in Australia! So something from 1205 (John reigned from 1195-1216) is very special! Cheers
What a stunning early medieval hammered coin. I remember my first one being an Edward 1st and i had no idea just how old it was. It blew my mind to discover it was around 700-years old! You cant explain how precious it is to know its now yours and the fact you had the wherewithal to find it. Absolutely incredible find and one to treasure.
14:02 could it be a weight 20 grams? Back to the vid…not bad at all for a short day some very diverse finds and congrats to Martin on that silver what great shape and detail it had. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
Excellent Find Martin ! Congratulations, Sir. John, Very Nice work on the vids. I really appreciate the 'overlay' on the illegible coins. I think I like Your method better than the side by side comparisons.
Watching from Howell, Michigan USA. I find your site very interesting. Too cold and snowy here. Was hoping to use my new Xterra Pro but it will have to wait. Be well
What a fantastic permission that is! Brilliant finds on there and yes that Vesta case is great to find but wow well done Marti! Perfect little hammered of either John or Henry 2nd? Letters are a bit different than the half John I found a few weeks ago but if they didn’t change into Henry, or minted in a different place, then it could be either? 🎉👏👏
You didn't call Martin a jammy swine, but that hammered coin is outstanding. Well done Martin! My wife said that she doesn't understand why Martin would be camera shy, she said he'd very handsome. So he has a fan here in New Jersey! lol

Excellent work guys! Beautiful coin. Thanks John.
Thanks Ted
Great video again John and well done Martin. Superb hammered .... Full flan too! Looks like either a Henry III or a King John to me, but I'm no expert
Congratulations Marty! What a beautiful coin. John…I have a soft spot for owls. Of course that would have been my find of the day, even over a silver.
Thanks Dyane! I do love an owl 🦉 too!!
@@thescottishdetectorist they remind me of my maternal grandmother. She was as wise as one! 😁

Awesome finds today congratulations I love the Owl match holder thing....I collect Owls and though it was pretty cool 🦉
Congrats to Martin. You may well have found a cannon ball that possibly has one side flattened from impact. Cheers from New Orleans
Much appreciated!! I hope it is. I don’t know that I’ve ever had one before so fingers crossed 🤞
Well done Martin
Congrats to Martin! Fabulous find! If I was younger, I'd MOVE to Scotland! Good luck out there. Great vid!
