Hi, John, Re the military button: This would undoubtedly have been from the tunic of a member of the Gordon Highlanders - catchphrase: 'Ninety-twa, no deid yet! '. As, I'm sure, you correctly surmise most of the miltary buttons you find come from the uniforms of former members of the British Army who retained their uniforms following their discharge from their military service and lost them while working the fields as agricultural workers. The fact that the button features the number of the regiment rather than the insignia and name of the Gordon Highlanders dates the button to prior to the reform of the regiments of the British Army in the late 19th century which saw the original numbers of the regiments replaced by names which, typically - but not always - reflected their areas of recruitment. Having been born in 1954, during my boyhood I can remember seeing many manual workers - gardeners, coalmen, and the like - wearing their army tunics and boots until these items deteriorated to the state where they were beyond use. As you can appreciate, there were vast stocks of ex- War Department equipment being sold off to the public at 'knock-down' prices (you could have bought a Spitfire fresh off the assembly line for £5,000*** - mind you, that would probably have been worth £100,000 in today's prices), and, as that would have been the equivalent of a four-bedroom house at the time, and as anyone who had had several years'-worth of experience of flying a 'Spit' operationally would very likely have 'had their gizzard's worth' of flying one , I doubt very much whether the tiny percentage of the population which belonged to 'the set' - ex-R.A.F. fighter pilots with several thousand 'quid' 'surplus to requirements' - were exactly 'queuing round the block' and storming the W.D. Equipment Disposals offices in order to place an order on the basis that - were they to 'salt it away' in a farmer friend's barn - it might ultimately prove to be a very profitable long-term investment ! However, if purchasing a whole Spitfire was somewhat out of the price range of the ordinary ex-R.A.F. Fighter Command pilot- in- the -('Civvy*)street, buying and 're-purposing' a part of 'an ex-fighter aircraft'** certainly wasn't, and (courtesy of my experience of spending a very considerable proportion of my leisure hours in the 1960s assembling any number of Airfix plastic kits featuring the aircraft, tanks and warships of the Allied and Axis forces of W.W.2.) I remember noticing that the owner of a garden in the village near where I lived had bought a number of what were clearly Hurricane perspex cockpit canopies and was using them as cloches to get his vegetable seedlings off to a 'flying start', (Sorry about that!) As always, I enjoyed watching you and Simon prospecting - as in 'Thar's - aluminium - in them thar fields!' - and, even though your combined 'haul' didn't exactly produce the kind of artifact likely to set the hearts of those in the historical antiquities department of the National Museum of Scotland and the coroner in charge of determining the value of 'portable antiquities' racing, your video was - as always - very entertaining and enjoyable. I think the comment which might most aptly be used as the means of describing all the finds featured in the video would be: 'Ach, well!' Best wishes to you and Simon! * 'civvy' - British military parlance for civilian. ** 'an ex-fighter aircraft' - as in 'an ex-parrot' (from the famous Monty Python 'Dead parrot' sketch (see: RUclips) *** £5,000 - i.e. about 40,000 (!) pints of beer at the rate of 4d a pint in the 1940s.
When the dogs are in the house when this show is on, they go looking for the squeaky toy. heh heh. Nice to see the handsome Spaniard back on the field. (almost typed 'Spaniel' with dogs on my mind) :)
Hi John! Your #1 Alaskan fan here. That tornado would have had me running for cover! Glad we only have earthquakes and big scary bears here! Best of luck to all of you at Detectorville!
Hell of a video John on new permission! Got to love Simon!! Lack of finds never seem to get him down! True Treasure Hunter at heart!! Cant wait to see your posts from Detectaville!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!!! 🤑👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ahh... the Simon roasting was amusing - and yep, very nice shot of that small but perfectly funnel-shaped tornado which I imagine was cause for alarm for anyone nearer it, considering that you said it touched down briefly and debris was kicked up by it!
Hmm….Since that tornado moved things around, might it have revealed anything in the ground? Might be a good idea to get permission and metal detect the location!
That lead ball with tooth marks on it could have been bitten by a patient during field surgery. Either before the invention of anesthetics or in the absence of a supply of them, people would be given something on which to bite down during what would have been a painful experience.
Well, you are, of course, absolutely correct in terms of your statement regarding this particular use of a lead musket ball, but I've often wondered whether the use of a simple off-cut of leather as supplied from (say) the shot-torn saddle of an 'ex-cavalry horse' * might not have been a 'better bet' when considered in the light of protecting the 'gnashers' of some unfortunate sod about to have a limb lopped off by a military surgeon. The state of the 'bullet' in question - if, indeed, it was a bullet - conjures up in my mind two possible explanations - either of which might be considered - when seen in a certain light - to have a somewhat sinister origin: either it might have been a much-valued possession of a former military surgeon who following his traumatic experiences during and following the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 developed a drink problem which led him to be dismissed from military service, and having 'fallen on hard times', resulted in him being forced to eke out a poverty-stricken and miserable life picking potatoes on the rain-soaked 'fields of Perthshire' during the course of which he lost his sole souvenir of his former vocation, or, alternatively, it belonged to one of the poor sods who...no, on reflection, it couldn't have...could it? Best wishes! * As in 'an ex-parrot' - as in the famous Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch "This is an ex-parrot, etc..." (see my comment re the military button belonging to 'the ninety-twa' - Gordon Highlanders - above)
Oh, your comment is so creative that part of it at least ought to be true. Incidentally, I have never seen the parrot sketch, so I have a question about the “ex-parrot". Is that a play on “expatriate”?@@petergleave7807
Rarely did they bite a bullet. 😊 Rodents and pigs chew them because of the salt Peter in the gun powder. Notice the 2 grooves on the ball showing it was the 2 front teeth of a mouse sized rodent.
It doesn't matter how good or bad you are, or how knowledgeable you are with the detector you use, understanding comes with use, and experience! But out in the field, As you know, even someone with minimal experience can make the greatest of finds... And standard settings do just fine, they work for me, But having your volume turned up, is always a good idea! Always enjoy your hunts John!. And Simon, keep at it Mate! Hope you both have some great finds and a good time, at Detectorville! Cheers!
that was enjoyable...thanks again...my thought is the old farmer was a vet of the 92nd and the whiskey in the field was a little nip in the morning to forget the horrors of war...and the tornado was a warning to stay out of the field...LOL
Great film that John and Simon getting lal bit better eh, things can only get better eh Simon mate. Great video nice finds and thanks for sharing, proper enjoyed watching 👌🏻👍🏻
Hey!! Felt like being at home when I saw the tornado!! You're just like us, we don't hide until it's right up on us, and it needs to be a bit wider too. Great job!!
Yeah…the weather these days is a bit wonky everywhere around the world. Here in Tennessee, we’re experiencing 30 degree temperature swings, from am to pm…with pouring rain one day and hot, humid weather the next day.
Been waiting to get a chance to view this and even though finds weren’t great - the video was and numerous too with Simon. He needs someone to explain that detector to him 😂 . Brilliant tornado 🌪️ Weather looking very hot at Detectival so you’ll be glad of that large bell tent 😅
SIMON! ❤😂 He cracks me up. I wish you all the best of luck at Detectival, may the finds be plenty and amazing. Please do try to get Simon’s metal detector sorted. I recommend the gold only setting. 😂
Great video. The amount of farm machinery pieces left in the field always stuns me and from my farming background it would great you a stern clip around the ear and talking to. The large bit of lead like phallic.
Hard going on virgin fields gotta dig out all that trash to get to the good stuff. Tell Simon no need to ground balance on the nox unless the field is really chattery and can calm down the false signals just do a noise cancel before you start and when you change fields and dig all the repeatable signals in each direction until you learn the tones and vdi readings once you get used to tin can signals and trash you'll love the nox. Another great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍
Simon is always good for a chuckle or two. I would have taken that funnel cuz that would have meant storms and rain. That one tropical storm blowing by gave me a bit of rain, but still not enough. Fall is coming....I hope.
Wow, I had no idea you got tornadoes in Scotland !! I live in New England and we even get them. Love your videos ,I also love hearing about Scottish history and lore. Keep up the Excellent work. 😀😀😀
Always appreciate your historical insights. Today I was interested in the link between the agricultural revolution and the abundance of Gorgeous Georgus coins. Cool.
the funnel cloud/ tornado is amazing, we saw one in Scotland earlier in the year, up in Speyside, just south of Aviemore. Some pretty wild storms that day, ours never made ground contact (although it came close, and it was quite wide) so was a funnel cloud but still amazing to see.
Simon, I liked your sun visor hat, my eyes are so sensitive I have to wear sunglasses all the time, maybe a cap like your's would work for me instead. John, you guys didn't have a bad day, and your not a bad teacher, I mean the first time we saw Simon, look what he found.. Taikuu to the both of you, see you on the next...
12:46 - Part of a brass axle bushing from some old carriage or farming equipment. Bushings usually wear on their top (due to the load) and then break. Indeed a common find.
Hi John, great video, I just wanted to note that is probably not a Star of David, on the lead seal. The Star of David has six points, not five. If you do find one of those then you possibly have something very, very old. Cheers!
Great to see Simon again! Hopefully he has more luck than I did on my permission today!!!! Which bloke reads any manual???🤣🤣I want to thank Simon for showing me that I am not the only detectorist that finds rubbish. He should start his own channel. Better than seeing these experienced guys finding gems all the time. 👍👍
I heard that surgeons a few hundred years back used to get soldiers to bit down on musket balls during operations, amputations etc. So the teeth marks in the ball could be off one of those operations
Its a Skypump! John being DRAMATIC. again! Tornado would a sucked you up In the Air! Although Skypumps, had one Big one can move a Houseroof, which it Did early July. Gongraths with your new Pupil🤡 high on entertainment value. Proof of Name?! Its Manuel isn't it. Almost expectng him shouting MR Faltwy🤣🤣🤣🤣 historical can't Remember any coalition between Spain and Scotland being an succes! With out Scotland getting a tremendous 🤯 you are preparing one Right now. Upload was a wash out. Happy digging Detectorville😜🔝❤️
Thanks as ever Toni. We did have one coalition with Spain. It culminated in the Battle of Glenshiel in 1719…. And was a disaster 😂 a bit like mine and Simons detecting adventures 🤪
Just think I could be the next señora Simón Dominguez Alvarez! After I've bumped the old fella off! Get digging a bigger hole cariño Mia! 😂😂 Glad you had some company John. Another enjoyable watch thanks! And Simon, mi amor, espero qué tienes mas suerte en la proxima!! Besitos y abrazos enormes desde España 😘😘😘 Good luck on the next outing! 😘 chez
A rare tornado...interesting. At the end of your detecting season( if you even have an end) let us know how much lead you recycle in kilograms. My wife mocks my finds but I used my scrap lead to weigh down her 30 cm planter that the wind blows over wrecking her flowers. It hasn't fallen down all year and we are in a wind prone area of the Niagara region of Ontario. Cheers!
And also on the Equinox 800...have him set the FE bias high if he doesnt want to dig iron and trash. Run the Auto Noise Cancel when its 1st turned on. And if he wants some ear blasting ID tone put it in Prospecting Mode. He'll hear that. Make sure all the updates are run too.
Good evening from Perth, just got out of hospital broke leg 3 Places. I can’t even remember most of it…good luck May the detecting Gods look after you.
@@roddymcniven8734 Hahaha, I was making myself COFFEE (non drinker) turned to get the milk behind me,, however my foot did not follow then snap snap snap. This is no joke I am appalled, 2 x 3in plates and many screws holding it together and some good meds did it on Friday night home 5pm the following Friday .
A good watch but you don’t win a coconut every time out, all part of the fun eh. A Scottish field containing evidence of whisky drinking, shock horror😂
It is unlikely that each and every detecting adventure in the Fields of Perthshire will result in amazing finds. A lot like anywhere else. Never the less it is interesting to see. Get 'em next time.
Wow, I never saw that much junk that was non-ferrous in one day. What incredible bad luck. Still an interesting video. As messed up as it sounds, I love tornados!!! I'm a roofer/tinsmith. Tornados look like $$$$ to me!!!!! Couldn't have gotten a better picture of it. To think, something that beautiful can kill you in a second. Bad A--s!!!!
@@thescottishdetectorist I've only seen a handful. They are pretty rare in D.C. area, but I've seen more in the last 15 years than in my first 47. Can't tell me the climate isn't changing.

Is the 92 badge from the 92nd Gordon Highlanders? Just checked, and it looks like an officers button. Nice find 👍
When the dogs are in the house when this show is on, they go looking for the squeaky toy. heh heh. Nice to see the handsome Spaniard back on the field. (almost typed 'Spaniel' with dogs on my mind) :)
Always a big smile and a laugh when Simons around. I enjoyed the hunt...cheers guys! 🍻
The 92nd regiment was the Gordon highlanders. Your compulsive watching. Keep it up. Love it
Hi John! Your #1 Alaskan fan here.
That tornado would have had me running for cover! Glad we only have earthquakes and big scary bears here! Best of luck to all of you at Detectorville!
5:47 Out in the sun, no smog, or junk in the street, just your best buddy's. Sounds like a step towards heaven!
Love you love Simon just make me so happy 😂
Aww thanks 😊 Have a very happy new year!!
Still good fun watching you and Simon thank you
Thanks Mark. Yes, he’s great company and his heart is in the right place!!
Hell of a video John on new permission! Got to love Simon!! Lack of finds never seem to get him down! True Treasure Hunter at heart!! Cant wait to see your posts from Detectaville!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!!! 🤑👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Many thanks Ray. I’m sure we’ll have a great time with my sense of humour and Simon’s good looks the detecting gods will smile upon us 😂
Simon's time will surely come1*
*Let's just hope that it is this side of 'the pearly gates', eh?
Whoa, if that is the 92nd Regiment of Foot, that was my GG Grandads Regiment.
Ahh... the Simon roasting was amusing - and yep, very nice shot of that small but perfectly funnel-shaped tornado which I imagine was cause for alarm for anyone nearer it, considering that you said it touched down briefly and debris was kicked up by it!

Nice day of detecting. They can't all be home runs. Thanks for sharing!!!
A bad day detecting is better than a good day at work. That tornado was cool to see.
That lead ball with tooth marks on it could have been bitten by a patient during field surgery. Either before the invention of anesthetics or in the absence of a supply of them, people would be given something on which to bite down during what would have been a painful experience.
Yup, hence bite the bullet

Awesome picture of the tornado! Great fun to watch even without great finds to see. Thank John... and Simon.
The picture of the tornado is beautiful,,better luck on finds next time,stay safe be blessed🤗🍺
It was fun anyway, and better than sitting indoors. Keep at it, one never knows what will come up. Cheers from Texas, John and Simon.

Nice one as usual John I'll certainly be looking for hammer heads this weekend, can't wait.
Great film that John and Simon getting lal bit better eh, things can only get better eh Simon mate.
Great video nice finds and thanks for sharing, proper enjoyed watching 👌🏻👍🏻
What you lacked in quality finds you made up for in entertainment with good ol’ Simon 😂. Dream team for sure! 😂
Good to see the gorgeous Simon again! Good luck for Detectival 😊
Hey!! Felt like being at home when I saw the tornado!! You're just like us, we don't hide until it's right up on us, and it needs to be a bit wider too. Great job!!

Naw, I recommend the aluminum only setting. Then, have him go first. 😉
@@jjudy5869 🤣
Wow that tornado must have been an unusual sight! It's also good to see your friend Simon! I hope he gets his settings sorted out soon lol!
Many thanks. Yes, I’ve sent simon a few RUclips videos, but to be honest I think he just likes the sounds and digging holes 😂
Great video. The amount of farm machinery pieces left in the field always stuns me and from my farming background it would great you a stern clip around the ear and talking to.
The large bit of lead like phallic.
Very nicely done even if the finds were few and far between still any video you do is an enjoyable video. Send me some of that Lager!
Always keep in mind that some indescribable metal objects can be meteorites!
Should have looked at the weather forecast, and read the operation manual for the rain coat. 😂
In the US we call a tornado that doesn’t reach the ground a funnel cloud.
Yeah, but kudos to him for not freaking out and running home. He's a true Okie. I'll give him the honorary plaque soon.
See you at detectaval, lads looking forward to it 👍
Wow. Midwest USA citizen here. Remarkably calm response to the ‘nado; not how I would have responded!
That was fun to watch enjoyed seeing Simon again
Hard going on virgin fields gotta dig out all that trash to get to the good stuff. Tell Simon no need to ground balance on the nox unless the field is really chattery and can calm down the false signals just do a noise cancel before you start and when you change fields and dig all the repeatable signals in each direction until you learn the tones and vdi readings once you get used to tin can signals and trash you'll love the nox. Another great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍
Simon is always good for a chuckle or two. I would have taken that funnel cuz that would have meant storms and rain. That one tropical storm blowing by gave me a bit of rain, but still not enough. Fall is coming....I hope.
You two should come out together more xD
92nd (Gordon Highlanders) Regiment of Foot
Wow, I had no idea you got tornadoes in Scotland !! I live in New England and we even get them. Love your videos ,I also love hearing about Scottish history and lore. Keep up the Excellent work. 😀😀😀
Nice one young people keen them coming. From sunny St Breward Cornwall 😊
Always appreciate your historical insights. Today I was interested in the link between the agricultural revolution and the abundance of Gorgeous Georgus coins. Cool.

This is a good video. It shows how hard you work. Thank you.
Just a warm up for Detectival! Sure to find treasure next time. 😉
12:46 - Part of a brass axle bushing from some old carriage or farming equipment. Bushings usually wear on their top (due to the load) and then break. Indeed a common find.
Thanks for the great info! Much appreciated
Let Simon know that I swing a Nox, and more than happy to help him dial in his machine. However, I live in the states and he has to buy my ticket 😂!
John you're hilarious! 😆😂 I don't think I've ever laughed so much watching a detectorist video. Poor Simon, he'll get there eventually . 😄👍
Hopefully see you at detectival ❤great video
The tornado was cool!
Hope all is well, looks like the weather is looking great for detecting. Bet it’s nice to be on virgin fields .
Hi John, great video, I just wanted to note that is probably not a Star of David, on the lead seal. The Star of David has six points, not five. If you do find one of those then you possibly have something very, very old. Cheers!
I'd love to compare your first outing with his!
Simons back baby!
There's nothing more exciting than getting a new permission and if it's never been done before that's very lucky we'll done mate 👍
Great to see Simon again! Hopefully he has more luck than I did on my permission today!!!! Which bloke reads any manual???🤣🤣I want to thank Simon for showing me that I am not the only detectorist that finds rubbish. He should start his own channel. Better than seeing these experienced guys finding gems all the time. 👍👍
Always an interesting watch, irrespective of finds. Good stuff buddy. Bless up 👊
Nice works gents!!!!! Set the ground balance on the Nox to 0 manually and go
‘Collection of Monks’.. Would that be considered, find, spill or hoard, please?🤔 😊
Well, shucks the luck! The military button is a keeper, though. Wishing y'all supreme luck at Detectival this year! 🥇🍀🍀
Entertaining
So reminds me of Fawlty towers
You must have quite an interesting collection of lead seals.
thanks john and simon good laugh tho
I heard that surgeons a few hundred years back used to get soldiers to bit down on musket balls during operations, amputations etc. So the teeth marks in the ball could be off one of those operations
Mystery lead item looks like the top of an ampula, a medieval holy water container pilgrims purchased to bless their lands.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard you so frustrated before. Hang in there - tomorrow is another dig!
13:28 Part of an axle bush... traction engine related.
John, you are so funny. Nothing seems to upset you and your comment "another piece of junk" has me in fits. Good luck at Detectival !!
You’re taking some lead out of the environment, too. And you can sell the copper. So, some positive things to add to your sparse finds.
Final from lamp, not great but you had fun digging it.
Its a Skypump! John being DRAMATIC.
again! Tornado would a sucked you up
In the Air! Although Skypumps, had one
Big one can move a Houseroof, which it
Did early July. Gongraths with your new
Pupil🤡 high on entertainment value.
Proof of Name?! Its Manuel isn't it.
Almost expectng him shouting MR Faltwy🤣🤣🤣🤣 historical can't
Remember any coalition between
Spain and Scotland being an succes!
With out Scotland getting a tremendous 🤯 you are preparing one
Right now. Upload was a wash out.
Happy digging Detectorville😜🔝❤️
Thanks as ever Toni. We did have one coalition with Spain. It culminated in the Battle of Glenshiel in 1719…. And was a disaster 😂 a bit like mine and Simons detecting adventures 🤪
"Drat! Foiled again!"
Just think I could be the next señora Simón Dominguez Alvarez! After I've bumped the old fella off! Get digging a bigger hole cariño Mia! 😂😂 Glad you had some company John. Another enjoyable watch thanks! And Simon, mi amor, espero qué tienes mas suerte en la proxima!! Besitos y abrazos enormes desde España 😘😘😘 Good luck on the next outing! 😘 chez
Dear Lady need to get out in the reality.
That was very Needy🤣🤣🤣😜
The button 92nd. Is the Gordon Highlanders.
Much appreciated Robert. Thanks for the ID
A rare tornado...interesting. At the end of your detecting season( if you even have an end) let us know how much lead you recycle in kilograms. My wife mocks my finds but I used my scrap lead to weigh down her 30 cm planter that the wind blows over wrecking her flowers. It hasn't fallen down all year and we are in a wind prone area of the Niagara region of Ontario. Cheers!
And also on the Equinox 800...have him set the FE bias high if he doesnt want to dig iron and trash. Run the Auto Noise Cancel when its 1st turned on. And if he wants some ear blasting ID tone put it in Prospecting Mode. He'll hear that.
Make sure all the updates are run too.
The 92nd (Gordon Highlanders) Regiment of Foot was a British Army infantry regiment, raised in 1794
Hi John. Hola Simon.
I have a minelab vanquish 540 and they automatically ground balance and I think the equinox has the same mechanism.
You can manually ground balance or set it to tracking, to adjust on the go, with the Equinox 800.
Hopefully see you at detectival again
Good evening from Perth, just got out of hospital broke leg 3 Places. I can’t even remember most of it…good luck May the detecting Gods look after you.
Hope you heal up fast with no issues. 🙏🙏🙏 Blessings from California.
Shouldn’t have got so pissed.

@@roddymcniven8734 Hahaha, I was making myself COFFEE (non drinker) turned to get the milk behind me,, however my foot did not follow then snap snap snap. This is no joke I am appalled, 2 x 3in plates and many screws holding it together and some good meds did it on Friday night home 5pm the following Friday .
Did we ever find out about the little sapphire ring from months ago? Or did I miss the news?
A good watch but you don’t win a coconut every time out, all part of the fun eh.
A Scottish field containing evidence of whisky drinking, shock horror😂
Haha 😂 🤪 🥃 cheers
92nd Regiment were/ are the Gordon Highlanders 😉😉
It is unlikely that each and every detecting adventure in the
Fields of Perthshire will result in amazing finds. A lot like anywhere else.
Never the less it is interesting to see. Get 'em next time.
You can't set the heather afire everytime no?
Oh! oh my! Carrot indeed, 😂
not your best day John,the best of luck to you and the lads at Detectival cheers for now
Many thanks James
There's plenty of information re: the Equinox Detector on line including some videos.
92ns Rwgimwnr of Foot are the Gordon Highlanders!!! Aye indeed!!!
Top show son
Wow, I never saw that much junk that was non-ferrous in one day. What incredible bad luck. Still an interesting video. As messed up as it sounds, I love tornados!!! I'm a roofer/tinsmith. Tornados look like $$$$ to me!!!!! Couldn't have gotten a better picture of it. To think, something that beautiful can kill you in a second. Bad A--s!!!!
Many thanks Callie, quite a thing to see especially in Scotland
@@thescottishdetectorist I've only seen a handful. They are pretty rare in D.C. area, but I've seen more in the last 15 years than in my first 47. Can't tell me the climate isn't changing.
Hello Scotland from Tucson Arizona.
You said it was a 10 inch coil but it should be either a 9 or 11, which one? ✌️
Ahhh! Of course it is! Yes, it’s the 11” coil and I’ve also got the 13!
The pieces of ‘something’ s that you find, would they not be shrapnel from the wars?
