😅 Can't get enough John!! I started laughing at your intro before Simon even showed his face!!!! No wonder you channel is the most watched on net!!! Doesn't get much better then this!!!!! Look every day for your new posts!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
For us non-detectorists your explanations to Simon are very instructive. That’s besides the humor and your interactions. Brightens my day when your video pops up. 🥰💕👍
Always a good day when a new video pops up from the scottish detectorist! And the added bonus of simon too. Always enjoy watching you two out together 😊
That bullet looks like a Minie (pronounced mini) ball, mid 1850's. Very common from the American Civil War, but obviously used all around the world. That large button looks like a toy train wheel. I find those crop markings and outlines from enclosures and houses very interesting, also how much ground water do you have that a 1' deep hole starts filling with water like that? Jeesh!
Aha! Thanks Matt…. That was the word I was looking for!! Train wheel makes sense! Thanks. The crop marks have amazing potential that’s for sure and yes the groundwater is sky high here, it has rained every day for six weeks. Must be one of the wettest winters ever but thankfully mild too!
What a great day! Thanks for braving the rain for us. Poor Simon, Please don’t super glue the beautiful fleur de lis. Looking forward to a great part 2. Love seeing you and Simon having a great day.
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, and your Spanish sidekick, from this old man in Tennessee. Oh what a joy, watching my 2 favorite Detectorist dudes, having a great day once again. Happy 2024 fellas. I think that one round copper alloy piece may be a wheel from a toy train. Yep.
Many happy returns for 2024 for you and yours. Hope you have a healthy and wealthy year! You’re right it is a lead train wheel 🚂 part 2 coming tonight hopefully 🙏
What a great field thus far, with lots of cool relics, I love when you find those old tokens. They meant so much for the field workers, so I can imagine someone was feeling quite a loss when it was missing so many years ago. That marble is top shelf, what a beauty! It's also always good to have smiling Simon on the fields with you. I'll be looking for part 2, because I know you'll be finding more great things.
Never say never. If anyone can find a Celtic coin it’s Simón. It will be by accident somehow. Not with the detector, but him just bending down to tie his shoe or something 😂 the Marble is cool.
Nice find Simòn! Doesn't matter that it's broken, still lovely 🙂 Love the marble John! Just something about them isn't there. Look forward to part 2. Always great to see you both.
Welcome to the channel. Enjoy the back catalogue…. The bulls head form 12 months ago and the hammered coins and gold from three months ago are unmissable 😆
Ahhh marbles I remember asking my grandma for some when I was a we lad she said I’m not wasting my hard earned money on marbles (mother to 8 and husband killed in a sawmill accident so raised them all herself) she said you want marbles go dig some clay out of the hill so I did a nice chunk of turquoise colored clay. We mixed it with water and a little salt and she showed me how to round them up using the palms of my hands then we baked them in the oven for about an hour and presto I had marbles I took them to school and lost all but one while learning how to play and win and soon enough I had plenty of real ones. Later on when I started rockhounding ( finding cool rocks and fossils ) my grandma explained that real rockhound leave a marble in the place they find a rock they keep so my marbles are long gone now lol (and yes I’ve found marbles in the middle of nowhere where they shouldn’t be I reckon a rockhound was there before me…) thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. looking forward to part 2 bummer on Simon breaking that he meat be taking lessons from Brad of the Hoover boys…lol
Great stories and memories! Yes sad Simòn broke the pendant but we’ve all done it, hopefully as lesson is learned and at least it wasn’t a gold hammered coin
that 3 ring slug is from a 78 cal probably an american civil war era muzzle loader sabot simon is a hoot. he is so positive, like you john. thanks for all your videos.
Congrats on the three ringer (also called that in the US btw). I live near some Civil War (US) battlefields, and these pop out of the ground with some frequency. Always cool to find! Here, the caliber ran from .52 to .58 with the latter the most common.
Well done John and Simon, I’d say that’s a good start to the New Year, a variety of relics. I’ve been researching Victorian and earlier horse drawn carriages to try and match some of the bronze fittings / thingamajingies you’ve found in the last year. I’ll let you know if I make a connection. Kevin
El Conquistador did it again. The spade is a weapon in this “one man armada’s” hands. 😁 It was/is a real nice find with these fleur de lis on it. French maybe? Happy hunting guys! Good luck! 🤞🍀
I admire your tenacity detecting in such terrible weather. Yesterday saw me Salmon fishing at the mouth of one of our South Island rivers in 26 degrees, whereas today it is only 17 and raining.
I found an identical bullet yesterday, first one of that size. Couldn’t believe the size and weight of it. I was wonder ing what size calibre and rifle it would be used in. Thanks for the upload John, the effort you guys put in , especially in this weather, is appreciated.👍
Much appreciated. Quite the bullet isn’t it!! I know someone will confirm in the comments but it’s a massive calibre. Seems ridiculous overkill to be using in Scotland!!
I like you and i like Simon. Your posts are better with someone especially Simon with you. Just once small thing. Try not to take the piss out of Simon cause he is Spanish. Apart from that really enjoy your digs and your knowledge of history. Keep up the good work.
Some interesting finds. It looks like your weather is much the same as it is here in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Sometimes you just have to ignore the rain and get outside anyway.
Amen! It’s been a wet winter but a mild one so versus frozen ground for six weeks I choose the rain and it chose me too! As you say best to just get on with it!
Happy New Year John, btw i'm sure when you get home you saw that the tomback button does have some decoration on it, yes????? Could the iron thing at 15.30 be the foot from a 3 legged iron pot? What an interesting video - part 1. Cheers
The little bell you found at 12:20 ,I've found a few of those I was showing my finds to a fellow once and and he maintained they were bells for hunting ferrets.
Thanks Pat, I did originally think bell , maybe for falconry but I’ve had quite a few of similar type off the fields round here and the museum told me Jacobean/Tudor button around 1550 to 1650’s?!? So I suppose it dense on the expert 😂
@@thescottishdetectorist The only problem I have it with been a button is wouldn't it pull through the coat easier, then again the museum should know best.
Flipping hell, John! Unless it’s an aluminum can, etc please stop calling these cool things junk! 😂 love seeing your subs go up! I’m curious about 2 things… when detecting places that have evidence of the medieval plough marks, do you usually have to dig deeper and does that also make it harder for the machine to detect? And this is a stretch of a guess on the chunk of lead… I’ve seen it was common for some Romans to fashion a foot as a sort of offering. Could that be a mangled ankle? I’m also SO curious about everything you find. The imagination just soars!
Many thanks Laurie, glad you like! One man’s junk is another man’s (or woman’s!) treasure!! The agriculture in this area the plough soil is around two feet deep and then you are onto gravel and sand which hasn’t been disturbed since the ice age 14,000 or so years ago, unless of course someone dug into it at some point. In some places the soil depth is less but realistically a small target say a hammered medieval coin of that isn’t in the top five inches and sitting flat it’s unlikely I’ll find it….. until the next time!! The lead is interesting isn’t it…. It looks very old, purpose as yet unknown!
@@thescottishdetectorist wow, thanks for such a detailed answer! I just noticed that the LiDAR for Scotland was just updated Jan 2. Have you had a chance to have a look?
Much appreciated Andy. Really love the bullet but can’t help but think slight ‘overkill’ with the calibre…. No pun intended. It looks like something for hunting elephants 🐘
Hi John, could the Simon's thing that got broken (with lilys) be a lid of a smoking pipe? Could you also reveal what camera you are using to film you adventures?
Might the decorated pendant Simon found, actually be a small decorative lid? The inside has an edge that looks like it is supposed to rest around a rim, and the attachment at top looks like it might be part of a hinge.
Small lead wheel is off a Victorian kids toy train. And I think the large hunk of lead you found might be a cap to a carrage Axl, but the last one is just a guess
Many thanks! Simon like me is a tour guide and we met whilst studying in Scotland to guide here. He guides mostly in the Spanish language. I then suggested he come detecting with us one weekend to Detectival in April 2023 and the rest is history!! Now he’d detect every day if he could and I get him up whenever I can as he doesn’t have access to land
The lead at 15.15, it is poured into an irregular hole in the stone when molten and the squarish hole would be a gate latch or possibly like a railing so when the lead solidifies around it it holds the squarish object in place securely, hope you know what I mean, you can see similar on park boundary walls where they cut off all the railings to use the metal for the war effort.
I have a question for Simon - can public detect in Spain ? There must be wonderful things to be found there with so much history. I hear it is not allowed in Portugal unfortunately.🙂🇨🇦

Simon has such a great smile and laugh,very handsome also. I like watching all the time but more so with his presence !
Two gentlemen on the Fields of Perthshire! What a duo. 👍👍

Thanks John , looking forward to part 2!
Thanks, hopefully coming tonight!

Hope you enjoy from a Clan MacDonald to a McDonald!
I think at one point in time we were the same clan. Right? hahahahah@@thescottishdetectorist
@@grandmakellymcdonald yes, well technically we are all Clan Donald or MacDonald, just different family septs these days!
Thanks John and Simon. The new permission is giving up some hints of great finds to come. I'm looking forward to part 2. Cheers from Texas.
Many thanks and best wishes David
Very nice hunt and crop lines and marks are interesting.
Thanks David… hopefully something of age coming off these fields soon!!! Plenty human activity that’s for sure
Brilliant again think you must have most of Perth as your permission 👏👏👍
Many thanks Michael. I’ve a fair few acres that’s for sure! Which is great!
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching Matthew
@14:10 Lead toy train wheel..?
Aha!! That’s what it is!! Thanks 🚂
What an unusual marble! Looking forward to part 2!
Many thanks 😊
Always nice to stop by! Hope this is a banger!
Hope you enjoy it!
You two are quite the pair. It's always good to see you both on the fields.
Many thanks, part 2 coming soon and he’ll be back at some point in a few weeks I’m sure!
And happy new year to you two good ol' boys.
Many thanks and to you
Awesome finds that place looks looks like it's going to be amazing!
It’s got potential!! Fingers crossed something old to come up at some point
I can just hear you assuring the local shopkeeper "it's a spendable" as you hand over a rusty clod.
Haha 😂 not sure you can still buy something for 2p …. Certainly not a pint 🍺 😆

Love your videos. Im recovering from an ankle op so cant get out myself so I'm detecting vicariously through you!
Good to see you, and Simon! Wet and damp, I hope it’s warmer for you. Till next time!
Thanks Patty. Rubbish weather recently but good to be out!
I just love Simon's signature entrance as he creeps in to shot, every time he's with you and does this it just makes me laugh.
Happy New year 🎉
Happy new year to you too Laura
Happy New Year to your Guyes and hope for a lot of treasures to be Find for you, succes
You and Simon make an unbelievable team 😅😅
Well, we try 😆
Hope they make a series of you two it’s as good as the detectorist on telly . Happy new year x
Never say never. If anyone can find a Celtic coin it’s Simón. It will be by accident somehow. Not with the detector, but him just bending down to tie his shoe or something 😂 the Marble is cool.
I’m really surprised he hasn’t had gold yet 😂 but trust me it will come, I just know it
@@thescottishdetectorist I hope it will be with you and you capture his reaction. Just the thought of it cracks me up.
That lead round thing looks a lot like a train wheel from around late 1800s to me. But could be wrong.
You’re not the first person to suggest and I think you are right! Many thanks 🚂
Simon is an absolute gem , I can’t really understand him but his mumbling and his facial impressions are priceless!!
Simon's find with the fleur de lis is interesting because there's a heart shape in its design, very appealing mixture
Many thanks Paul. He’s gutted he broke it but hopefully he learns the lesson…. But I doubt it knowing him as I do 😂
Great video as always John thanks for sharing hope simons loctite worked on that cool find keep the hard work lads 👍🏻
He’s got the glue on it, fingers crossed it went well. It’s a shame but still a lovely find

I found a marble in my friend’s backyard, her house was built in the 1920’s. It looked very similar to the one you found.
Amazing, thanks Emily
your bullet is a Pattern 1853 Enfield Minié ball fired from a rifled musket I believe and a cool find
Much appreciated Andy. Really love the bullet but can’t help but think slight ‘overkill’ with the calibre…. No pun intended. It looks like something for hunting elephants 🐘
My wife was going to start the dishes, until I told her you and Simon had a new video. She said I'll be right there, the dishes can wait.
I’m sorry for ruining your planned evening 😂 🍽
Looks Roman to me, villa. Is there a spring nearby? You might find a bath house.
There are several springs but as of yet no villas ever found in Scotland
I thought your wee ball button was from a bell.
That’s what I initially thought too Alan but previously the museum told me (I’ve had a few from other fields) a Tudor or Jacobean button 1550 to 1650
That's great to know. Everyday is a learning day thanks John 👍
You're doing well to be out, all my fields will be submerged!!
It’s not easy! Lots of flooding and loads of rain
Does that turn you into a mudlarker then? 😉
Hi bud may I ask what website you use for the crop marks information, aerial shots etc? Thank you 👍
Hi John, could the Simon's thing that got broken (with lilys) be a lid of a smoking pipe? Could you also reveal what camera you are using to film you adventures?
Sorry for the slow reply! I use a DJI osmo and also an iPhone 13 depending on the weather and what mic I am using! This day it was an iPhone 13
