Never be embarrassed or ashamed about exciting finds and your reactions. Happy for you.
Here! Here! That’s why we tune in for your videos! Still I have to admit to just a touch of jealousy!
Congratulations John!

Absolutely correct,I love this channel.
What an awesome day John, really pleased for you mate. As for the cast dog, many 20th century UK childrens toys and toy figures carried the word foreign if not made in Britain. I remember that as a very young boy in the mid 1960s a lot of my own cast toys were marked foreign.
Congratulations John what a day!! The adorable little dog looks like a Cairn Terrier and with the loop on the back, perhaps a Christmas ornament? I have a question maybe you can answer. I watch a lot of detectorists and I have never seen one find a coin from the time of Henry VIII. Have you ever found one and do you know why they are so scarce? Thank you John and good luck .❤️
Wow, part 2 is just as good as part 1! I can only imagine such a day of detecting. We obviously don't have anything medieval here in W.Texas, but I went nuts over a couple of Buffalo nickels in one day, and that is not anything as amazing as what you found. Someday you will have another video from the same field with even more spectacular finds soon. Cheers from Texas.
What a day! Congratulations, John, glad the weather was nice and the fields dried enough to bring you some spectacular finds. 🥰💕❤️👍👍
Much appreciated Terry. A day that will live with me for a long time
Excellent dig, so pleased for you. The little dog does say foreign, I remember from my childhood in the 50s lots of toys just said “foreign” rather than the country they originated from, so well done.
How amazing! Congratulations John!
Great view in the light box.
Love the excitement you share with us. 😊
Many thanks Maureen. Your comments are always much appreciated
Best field ever and thank you for sharing it with us. Love this channel this was as we say in America A Kick Ass Day.
Thanks Donald. Much appreciated. A rollercoaster 🎢 of a day!
John, You slimey Swine...😉 What a lucky day for You - what a lucky day for us, that You let us be a part of Your heart-attacking "Wow-moments"...😯 Unique the second, You realize it must be a Hammered or Gold or something other breathtaking relic of history! Let it be Scottish...😂✌
Greetings from Switzerland
We want part 3!!!! Well done!
Soooo Good!! I would love to be the museum evaluator and just look at all the finds all day. I love the medieval stuff too :)
Amazing buddy! Scattered hoard maybe? Suppose gps would tell you.. LOVE the Scotty dog!😊
Congratulations on part 2! Hopefully you can get the hoarde finder soon. Thanks for letting us tag along on this glorious day. Keep that dog with you, he's a good luck charm now.
Thanks Matthew!! There will be a part 3 😮
What an amazing day. Ive been detecting a little longer than yourself. It took me 22 yrs to find a gold coin and found a second one two weeks later. Yes i cried no shame in that. Fantastic video. Thanks
Many thanks. That’s sometimes how it works out. Though the machines have a lot to do
With it too!! Amazing. Well done 👏
I think the gilded disk has had holes drilled into it to make a children’s toy. My understanding is they threaded string through the holes and twisted it to make the disk spin. The simple joys of an earlier time. I do wonder what it was originally made for, though. So glad to see you so happy. It is a nice balance to all those days you go out and find nothing but aluminum.
John , you need to get to the museum !
Your driving me Crazy !
Those silver ingots , we need more information , please !
Wow fantastic finds, congrats from Australia!
Love your vids!!
Many thanks! New video just updated
Bet John had to take something nerve-
Calming together with his Lunch🤣🤣👍😜 Predict theres some good days
In the future. Don't think its a Jeton!
Dandy button. Hammered Silver pennies could have been lost at the

Potato field reveal and the old trackway?! John are going to be busy 😱😜🔝❤️
Two hypotheses for the hammered coins. 1) An English encampment preceding the First Scottish War of Independence, or 2) Grave coins (often placed on the eyes of the dead) from the church graveyard scattered during the deconsecration. Is it known that any bodies in the churchyard were translated(moved elsewhere) when the church fell out of use?
waiting
❤ Super day in the field! "The scottish detectorist" is top teaching and entertainment!
Many thanks 😊
What an amazing day for you and what a great field that is! You deserve the best of finds John for all your patience and hard work and the best entertainment you give everyone with your knowledge. Doesn’t that gold looks gleaming in the light box, tears were justified 🥲🥲🥲 Excellent! 🤩🥂
Wow what a special Day..Nice finds hammered coins
Many thanks Danny
Keep up the Great walks John Fantastic so enjoyable and I really enjoy the History you Describe that so well 😀
The amount of emotion you show is honestly something I respect really much. It comes across as really genuine. Put a smile on my face and made my day better, so I appreciate it. Congrats on all the finds. Your videos has made me pretty interesting in trying metal detecting myself some day.
What a red letter day. Most people could put in months or even years for 5 silver hammered coins and you go and get 5 in a day, plus a Gold coin and some other really lovely finds 🐕. Delighted for you John. Keeps those videos coming please.
Hey John 👋🏻, You're the King of hammered Coins now 👏🏻👏🏻
I really enjoyed Part 1&2! How amazing 😍
In almost 25 Years detecting i've been only once able to find a Continental Silver from Edward I Period...
Congrats and keep going 🍀🍀🍻
I believe the unidentified disk about 6:20 is a “freeze plug” from old engine. There would be on one either side and if temp got below freezing the plug would pop out saving the engine block from cracking.
The button with the holes may be something called a whizzer. Children in the United States would have used buttons or old coins; drilled two holes; threaded them with string and twirl the string…..when it was released it made whizzing noise. They were popular in the first part of the 1800s. Wonderful hunt…..I can’t imagine finding one coin from the thirteen hundreds. Well done.
Like I just commented on part 1, your joy is so infectious and I never get tired watching your digs! 🤩 Such awesome finds!! I hope, you can get back to that field soon. I'm so curious what else might be hiding in the ground there. 😊
Thank you for taking your time to show us your great finds. Every detectorists dream for real!!!
Congrats John again wat a day...I'd say the thin one is a dandy button the dog looks pewter and the coins are juss stunning absolute perfect day in all ways my friend, enjoy🤙 have a few pints tonight u earned em..ur buying though🍻🍻🍻
Congrats, John! A other great part 2! WOW! Could the little dog be a Westie or a Cairn terrier? Whatever, I think he brought you the luck! Thanks for another great dig !!!
Foreign was a common mark for things made in Hong Kong when I was a child. Most of them were crudely made plastic toys, things like soldiers or small cars. What a day John!
23:56 that looks like a "weld" where they would have tacked on the loop, and a very poor looking weld at that, possibly had an attempted repair?? I'm wondering if the little terrier was a trinket for someone's watch chain. No matter, you had a grand day's dig and you're grand for sharing!!
Well done mate what a day.will be very interested to know your state of mind when you go out digging next time? I had 8 roman coins and 2 roman brooches in one day and remember going out shortly after and being disappointed having only found 2 roman coins and another roman brooch the next trip. A few days finding nothing soon put my feet firmly back on the ground but I will watch your next outing with great interest. Keep up the good work.😊
Well day 2 did not disappoint! Congratulations on these spectacular finds.
Love the hammered too, Roman are too common 😁🤩🤩🤩 I see a man in green leggings, a small leather bag hanging from his belt. Oh no he's not realised, there's a small hole he is losing coins as he moves.
Another fabulous film. Thanks for sharing with us.
WOW WOW WOW WHAT A STONKER OF A DAY SO HAPPY FOR YOU JOHN 👍🏻#digginthedream
Wow, excellent, great show, fantastic. Well done John, good on ya.👍
Here in the US we have armored trucks to transfer money in bulk. Brinks trucks is what they are called. You should name your little dog Brinks and he can guard your hoard!!! So happy for you!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Best day you have had I agree but it's always fun watching the show brother. GOD bless and see you on the next
More amazing finds! What a day! The thru-pence was my favorite coin as a young child. I have quite a few in my jewelry box. But all those hammered! Wow!
What a day! You’re a lucky so and so🍀Great to watch and see your excitement finding the hammered. Nothing left for me to do but get out there myself today and see if I can get anything even half as exciting:
Hi from California, John! I can tell you that the dog is a watch fob. Foreign was written on imports around the first world war to protect British manufacturers or something to that effect, BUT- as to that disc... You may discover that it might be an Islamic coin, and might be made of Billon, which was common during the middle ages. Billon is an alloy of silver and bronze or copper. It looks like it has a cartouche or monogram on one side. So really, you can possibly add another silver coin to your day's tally!
Great finds. Love them all. So exciting
Many thanks. There will be a part 3 as I was out again today 🤩
I love your happiness. I have watched other metal detectorists and they show very little emotion about a hammer. While watching them, im more excited than them!
So, its fantastic to watch someone who acts like i would, in that situation. Again congratulations 👏
Whirligig toy made from gilded button, must have been very shiny spinning! Another Fantastic day for you! Congratulations!
Give Scotland a wee kiss for me. I miss her dearly since having to return to US. 🏴❤️
Unbelievable!!!!! I felt your excitement and emotions - very well done Sir 😊
part 2 was as great as part 1 you must be on cloud 9 at the moment John fantastic finds the light box helps to get a better look at your finds thanks again cheers
What an incredible day in the fields brother! God gifted you some incredible finds (of course the detector had some to do with it too). :) My heartiest congratulations on your exceptional day, and thank you so very much for taking us along on your finds. Slainte Mhath!
Just incredible John, can’t really add any more to that! On to the next!
Hi from Canada, Loved this video, usually i watch American metal detecting and just happened to come across this. Congrats on the finds, really lucky and impressive. As for the dog i believe it is German. After WW2 Germany was not allowed to export anything for sale unless the word Foreign was on it, part of the surrender agreement after the war, i believe this was true for Japan's surrender also. I know this as my parents were German and when they came to Canada my mother brought a vase stamped with FORIEGN on the bottom. It took awhile for me to determine why it was stamped that way.
Such an exciting video!! Your #1 Alaskan Fan is amazed and full of joy for you!
Wonderful Part 2 almost as good as Part 1...I think I'll have to come to Scotland the homeland of my ancestors.
Wow John. Great viewing as always. What a field
Damn John! I teased you in last video about needing a paramedic but after this video I might need one myself!!!! THE HUNT TO RIVAL ALL HUNTS SIR!!! I think I need a drink!!! Well deserved CONGRATS!!!!! I THINK I MIGHT NEED TO LAY DOWN!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Its going to happen ....that clay pot full of hammered is in the future!!! Great finds as per usual.
Its not a dig without Gorgeous George, John! Huge grtz mate!
Many thanks Dave! Much appreciated
I think the wee doggie is a Cairn Terrier! great finds. we use minelab gear in Australia!! Fantastic stuff mate
Your channel is the best ! Wishing you 100,000 followers ! Cheers from the States!
Amazing John got to be more penny's there and your the chap that can recover them. Well done and what a days detecting stuff of dream's 😊
Amazing Day that we all dream of!!! Congrats!!!
Such a fantactic day! Can't wait to see what you find with the lend of the hoard hunter machine. Foreign was stamped on a lot of pottery too back in the day on stuff made overseas. The dog certainly looks like Greyfriars bobby!
Amazing day. And love the scotty dog.
Sir you are a master with the deus.....Wow so many great finds a bloody pleasure to watch kind regards Ian and Connor......
Your absolutely priceless reaction just goes to show how much heart you put into detecting. I didn't want others laughing at me, but hey-ho... the little dog does it for me 🥰Congratulations!! 🙌
So amazing! You deserve it! Maybe the button originally had a shank on it that broke off so to make it usable again someone did the best they could to drill two holes- sewed it back on and went on their merry way! Only to loose it in the field for you to find! ;-) Congats!!!
Cracking haul of finds John. Well done. The quick return really paid off. All the best and HH.
Many thanks and HH …. I’ve been back since and spoiler alert 🚨 there will be a part 3 🤩
The dog looks very much like my West Highland Terrier, named Talisker. Best wishes from a subscriber from the States catching up with some older episodes.
WOW ! Congratulations you Really had a Superfinds day. all the Best for the next dig.
Hi John, it's not unusual to find small, older metal objects stamped "foreign." I can't be sure, but believe it was introduced after WW1, possibly in connection with some sort of import tax. But what a cracking day's hunt, you'll have to go some to ever beat that! Well done indeed.
Well done! just been on a dig where found nothing but medieval tractor parts!!! it gives us hope John...
Omg John!! 😮😱😭😱😭😱😭😱😭 what a rollercoaster of a video!! Congratulations on all those Hammereds! My heart was pounding at each hole, wondering if you were going to turn up a box full of them and that Gold coin too, my goodness what a field! When are you going back there? (Am hoping you've already been!!) 🤣🤣🤣 fantastic! Much love Chez 😘
Bravo- 24 years in the making. There's some history for you.
Thats incredible!!! Watching this from the west coast of Canada......we are thrilled to death to find a Vicky or Eddie anything, let alone something over 200 yrs old.
Many thanks 😊 yes, to hold a find from the era of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce is just incredible 😮
Absolutely amazing day John part 1 was so overwhelming I was absolutely buzzing for you had a lump in my throat along with you was so happy for you this really is the field of dreams cannot wait to see what else comes up from it in the future keep up the hard work mate and thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Phenomenal day of detecting!
In the UK after the world wars, things made in Germany would be marked Foreign to avoid any hard feelings after the wars. It was done with pottery, and ceramic dolls too.
Awesome Dig!! Thanks for Sharing! Cheers JJ
Congratulations again on such an incredibly successful and memorable day!
Sure glad that you had to leave the other field because it was too muddy. Almost like you were meant to go and find what you did.
Extremely jealous, but also very happy to see you have such a wonderful day!
Cheers from near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Wow, what an outing. Congratulations on the great finds.
The cut coin is definitely Henry III. The short cross was used on all Henry II, Richard, John and early Henry III. The clean cut means it was probably cut at the mint before it was released for use.
I think the dog is a Bouvier des Flandres which is a Belgian herding dog...That does everything on a a farm. Used also as a guard or police dog. Very smart.
Congratulations, John! What a great day. I don't think anyone's going to laugh, but they're all going to be very jealous.
Nice having breakfast with you again John
I’m part way in to your video what a ripper day your having
Woke up to 20 degrees centigrade and forecast for 37
Seeing you in you Woolley hat and layers not felling as hot
Great finds when you celebrate your finds don’t get to hammered ha ha
I think the dog may be a lucky charm. You should have it with you whenever you go detecting!
What finds John, just amazing. Need a mini detectival just on that field 💪🏼
Amazing. Just amazing, well done.
Thanks very much! Best wishes
Think it's a Scottish Terrier ... that's what us 🇿🇦 know them as. Nice find on that gold. Beautiful
I really enjoy how we get to share your excitement so please don't hold back (but thanks for not using foul language!)
Congratulations on these finds and thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and excitement with us all, it's infectious! 💯👌
Much appreciated Alain. See you on the next…. And there’s a part 3 🤩 🚨
Oooo I have been waiting with baited breath!
Hope you enjoy
@@thescottishdetectorist I most certainly did! Fascinating finds as always, thank you for sharing.
Big congrats from Hereford UK. Your channel is a massive inspiration💪
What an awesome day you have had well done 👏 John
Wow! What a day! Fantastic!!
well hunted John...and you have your scattered hoard, my first hoard of 5 pennies was on a line between a village and a Church...i bet there's more on that field..it's certainly big enough ! congratulations again....GL&HH Gordon.
Thanks for sharing a fantastic day detecting , what finds 😮 and gold and a cutie of a Scottie dog
Whenever I see a three penny bit, I automatically and rather sadly think...."duodecahedron"... 12 sides😂 These vids are always good but jees! this one is exceptional!!!!
Epic day, gratz from Northeast USA. The disc with two holes could be a childs toy right? They would put string through and it would whiz. Maybe not tho. Anyway, so many hammereds. And a gold coin, sheesh, what a day.
😅🎉 Carrot and stick jokes aside--yeouve earned serious history points here!!! 🎉❤🎉 woot!🎉❤🎉
Incredible John! 😁 When you replied to my comment on the Part 1 vid you weren't wrong! 😄 Well you can never moan about another Gorgious George coin ever again now you know ;) You need to name the wee dog definitely, and possibly we might have to go in to lockdown here in Perthshire if you keep finding these Treasures! Just brilliant, and so pleased for you.
