Are you a history teacher, or just a history buff?!!! Because your knowledge of days gone by is nothing short of astounding!!! I'm impressed, anyway!!! Lol!!! Keep up the great work, my friend!!!
Hes a tour guide in scotland 😁
Thanks for the kind words Anthony. I’m a tour guide and historian so I love history and everything about it which is why metal detectors ring is such a great hobby… what better way to learn about history than to find it yourself!
Careful cussing the buttons. The button Gods may make your clothes fall off.😁😁
Appreciate the history.
Thanks for showing the museum items.🇨🇦
Thanks Karen 😂
But the zip Gos will protect you, and they've got teeth😁
Gotta tell you John your historical input is next to none! Love every bit of it!!! You and Cleggy cuss buttons more then any video out there! Also love it! Another great video as usual! Thanks! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words Ray. Much appreciated
Thanks for showing the ancient gold sword pommel and torc necklaces. Quite the rare pieces made so long ago and to the person who found them! Imagine being paid such a sum for a museum quality relic
I live in the hope that one day one of these might turn up Jeffrey!! Fingers crossed
The little motifs beside the anchor are two cannon.* And the anchor is "fouled" i.e. it has the cable depicted as wound around the stem of the anchor.
Originally the fouled anchor meant a sailor had survived a shipwreck or their original vessel had been captured or decommissioned.
I would not be surprised if you found this button was on the coat of some officer who had served afloat, and was "retired" to the Landsguard or a Shore Battery protecting a harbour.
*actually they look like the proportions of carronades but this is a distinction that is lost on people
Great info, thanks for that! I must research further
I appreciate the look at those Scottish treasures and you going out in the rain to entertain us with the fields. I didn't know Scotland gave us Halloween what a fun fact. I will see you on the next bro.
Thanks James!!
That's dedication...guttery field in November and a hangover 😎 Incredible the amount of man-hours you folk put in, for nothing other than the joy of history and finding great bits. Can you imagine what that would cost, if you had to organise a survey of all those fields...huge respect/math a rinn sibh! 🙌🏻
Many thanks Maureen
It's funny you showed the torcs. The wife and I went to Scotland in April and I specifically remember dragging her over to look at those torcs at the museum. How this relates to you is that I had told her they were discovered by a metal detectorist "like the one we watch on RUclips." To be fair, she doesn't watch as much as she humors me when I tell her of your finds. :)
Thanks Jeff! I love visiting the National Museum in Edinburgh…. What wonders they have!
Thank you for the trip to the button fields of Perthshire. Too bad it was so rainy.
When I saw that gold pommel on the news I thought of you! Road trip to Stirling 😂 I’ve always loved Halloween go figure it originated from Scotland ❤ Pete still showing us how it’s done I see!!
Maybe one day I’ll be on something similar!!!
well done pete
Yeah he’s showing me up these days!!
Lovely cannons either side of the anchor on that button.
Thanks John, loved the video. Cheers, John.
Thanks John
You are truly a joy to watch. I love hearing the history from you and constantly learning! And I'm slightly obsessed with your accent 😊 keep the amazing videos coming! Watching from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Thanks so much and I’m glad you’re enjoying 😆 😊 🇨🇦 🏴
Looking forward to another Samhain video this year!
loving your videos in new mexico
Blessings dude. Your brilliant and educational content is always a pleasure that I enjoy. Great job. Much appreciated.
Comment away! Love it all here in New Zealand! Thank you for your wonderful education and entertainment!
Better luck next time
I think the side decorations on your Naval coin are cannons, quite and old design of cannon too.
Thanks for that info David. Much appreciated. Check out the new video just uploaded, another strange button plus more!! Happy for any assistance you can provide
Thanks 👍
Awesome
What an amazing bit of bling, the skill and workmanship is stunning. Even though you diss those buttons it's still amazing to find them after so much time. Hope the heads feeling better
Thanks Angela. Decorated buttons I can handle, but when you think you’ve a coin and it’s a button that appears 😮
@@thescottishdetectorist yeah it's like thinking you've got a gold ring and discover it's only a ring pull🤦♀️😂
I think of how upset people probably were to lose a button! Or a coin…
Yeah it would have been a tough loss that’s for sure
... Poops, hit the wrong button.
.. ancestors from ages past enjoyed their bling too.
A Flat shank button is a marvelous find! You can usually date them by the design on the front panel. With the Royal Navy putting into Scotland way back in the day. What a find‼️ Here in the USA we have very limited finds of flat buttons. So Rejoice in a flat button.😊
Beauty that pommel! You’d think it would be worth loooooads more that that tho!😮
Thanks Mark, agreed, but the Treasure trove system has a habit of undervaluing finds!!
Okay i mean i love metal detecting stuff but why is scottish accent soooo hot?! 😂😭😭
Aww thanks 😊
That Gilt over brass naval button looks like a master's button from Napoleonic times, 1807-1815.
Much appreciated Leon, I shall investigate further!
Yes there is loads of spirits in Scotland especially the single variety lol
Love all your vids of your finds, please keep posting them. How do you know if a coin is a fake, and what do you clean up your coins with?
Generally I don’t clean anything I find. Most of the time just let them dry out and that’s it really. The fakes you can normally tell by the weight and feel in the hand. Or they just don’t look quite right!
Your subscribers count is growing at a rapid rate and we'll deserved 👏
Love the videos,, very honest and enjoyable metal detecting 😀
That Dues 2 sure loves those bloody buttons lol.
Have been binge watching for days my friend I think a divorce is on the cards for me as I've been glued to my ipad watching your show, lol all good though if that does happen leaves me more time to detect myself 🤣
Haha 😂 sorry for the marital strife I’m causing but glad you’re enjoying!! The Xp deus 2 is a phenomenal machine. It’s ability to find small targets like buttons and coins is incredible and it loves silver like no other machine I’ve had!!
@@thescottishdetectorist no need to be sorry I'm enjoying the peace 🤣🤣🤣 I've used the simplex and deus 1 for the longest time and ordered the 2 just last night after watching your vids and seeing how good it actually is.. look forward to the next my friend..
Happy Hunting
hello salior
🚢 😂
the piece of metal you called a "pumpkin" is definitely way too big to be from a pocket watch, and although it is thin, to me it looks to be part of a throttle plate assembly from a very old single barrel carburetor, most likely a small engine for a piece of Farm equipment. I was a mechanic for some 20 odd years so these parts leap out at me.
It looks more like some sort of selector quadrant. Too thin for a throttle plate. I think it went on a square shaft, & had a separate lever. The square hole would travel with the bar, with the round holes engaging with a rounded pin as the stops. There would be another pin in the bent oval window to set the lever throw limits.
@@zippyjohnson9967 Because it's thin doesn't mean it wasn't used as one. especially early British vehicles that had questionable engineering. I do agree with you that it is too thin for this purpose and could just as easily been used for what you suggest it might be, but we'll never truly know now will we?
Can anything be done with all the bits of unidentifiable lead? It seems like once you had a few pounds, you could take it to a recycler? (I know this would not apply to historic bits)
The anchor button looks to have a couple of cannons on it.
Thanks Greg! You are spot on!
That anchor button looked like it had cannons on each side. And the shank was rather crudely made, so seems very early. Maybe early 1700's before they were Royal Navy.
Much appreciated thanks for the info!
You sure can find a bunch of nice stuff just by "Roaming in the Glomin"
Indeed, some amazing treasures out there!
You may not appreciate buttons, however, you must admit John, they're always the ones holding it together.
Two cannons flanking the anchor
Thanks Richard
That anchor ⚓ button is beautiful , I haven't watched all this video yet so I wondering will you be researching to find out what part of the Navy and when those types were in regular use 🤔, lovely looking things with fantastic details.
The symbols on either side of the anchor button are cannons..
I'd be happy with buttons at the moment 😂
I do like buttons but it’s the fact you’ve got expectations of a coin 😂
The "Gold finds" you showed at the first, is proof that the
They certainly liked to show off in the days of old that’s for sure!
Yep they’re insane, some of them are 6-12 pounds of silver, massive
On the bucketlist for sure!!
Hi pal I’ve just got me and the Mrs a garratt 300i and a garrat 250 for myself we went out for the first time yesterday after doing lots of research on metal detectorists as we’ve been bottle digging for years we thought 💭 why don’t we own metal detectors so our journey begins ! It was pelting it down yesterday so was only out for a couple of hours she found a somewhat square peace of flat gold but when cleaned up it kind of looked like silver so I’m not to sure what it is it’s definitely to thick to be a aluminium can but had a right good beep to it , have you any idea what it could be ? Anyway I stumbled on to your videos and there really good so I’ve liked and subscribed
Cheers pal 👍🏻
👍👍👍👍👌
Thanks Janis
That sword pommel is a beaut, amazing craftsmanship.
The George III shilling looks to be a fake, I've found one which looks very similar, with the same colour/silvering deterioration.
Great video 👍
Thanks Gary. Sword pommel is a stunner…. Very Anglo Saxon
🤣 Remember lead ‘pound coins’, retouched with a gold paint-pen?
I think that glass fragment is part of the bottle's body molding.
Little thingy looks like the end of a chisel /sickle handle where it meets the blade
Too many spirits during Samhain? ;)
I see what you did there 😂 🥃 🥴
Clodshot!!!!
Potato head is currently reserved for the US potato in chief.
You find buttons like we find ring pulls
I think modern liqueur/ brandy bottles have a "badge" thingo molded in. I can't stand the stuff.
Me neither!! Thanks for the info
@@thescottishdetectorist the thanks are all yours for showing these great videos and my mother and elder brother were history teachers so I love hearing your history of the finds. Roman silver ingots, coins from the time of British invasion of Scotland, all fantastic.
Don't hate the button those are good finds here in Canada lol
Haha 😂 I don’t hate them too much I just like to pretend I do 😂
Out today and we got GOLD and Roman silver 🤩 video just uploaded 😯
@@thescottishdetectorist today in canada we got 15cm of snow lol, I'll be watching your video here in new scotland (Nova Scotia)
Aluminum pronunciation noted! :)
Haha 😂 thanks
Blame now Scotland for Halloween👻
Over a million sold 🎃 really got anying
Last 20 years! What a day without buttons
Galore. Should have stayed in bed😜
Dishy new permission sounds attractive
Little break from the fields of Perhtsire.
On your own and a camera😜👻🔝❤️
Subcribers let me to it🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Toni 🎃
How does Sneaky Pete feel about that nic. How did he get it?
The disease , Phyloxera, is pronounced Filoxera.
Thanks James. Me and my pronunciation I tell ya 😂
Just make yourself believe the careless %$#* owners
of the %$#* buttons are murdered over there.
With all the buttons you’ve found, you should feel sorry for all the farmers who were running around in their fields with nothing to hold their pants up or shirt’s together. There’s always that to think on…..
Seemingly yesteryear, they used to plough in old clothes to the ground as a way of disposing of them,,

Gracias!
You do take junk with you don't you? I'm just assuming it would only make future metal detecting just as annoying 🙄
The real origin of halloween is self explanitory it was originally all souls Eve a christian tradition celebrating life and praying for the souls of loved ones gone before to rest in peace and be protected like all christian tradition Christmas easter it's turned into meaning somthing else and denying christ id rather talk with my creator than mock the dead it's not wise its not healthy but like everything if you don't understand it ruin it ull be there one day I want to rest in peace its not a mockery spirits are real there are good and bad and so these are the facts all souls Eve is original name christian tradition praying for peace
Not really on man, you shouldnt use pics of famous finds and put in the thumbnail like you found it. Very click bait and fake an puts people off 👎
I'm curious, you despise buttons and other bits and pieces that have no value. Your language when you find something like a button tells me history is not that important to you, unless it turns out to be a £30,000 sword Pommel. This is why I no longer subscribe to your channel.
Pumpkin looks a lot like control for throttle body on a carburetor linkage
i think the only way to beat the bloody buttons is to collect them :)
