5 cents here in the US is called a nickel, mainly because of the metal is was made from. But in the 1800’s we also had large cents and even 3 cent coins (called trimes!). I’m wondering if a US soldier was wandering about in Perthshire during WW2?
Yes, the cone shape with a broken bit on the flat side that may gave been the base of a loop seems to be a plum-bob. It could be very old. In use one way or another since early Egypt and Mesopotamia(?) up until today.
Hi. The big bronze chunk looks like a casting spruce that feeds into two axe heads. The dip at the top is what we call a shrinkage pipe. Basically when molten bronze cools down it volumetricslly shrinks, this face has no Liquid Metal to feed into the contracting lump and therefore leaves a sink and hollow tubular pipe. I’m a foundry metallurgist and keen detectorist and have recently cast Bronze Age axe heads from a copy of BA bronze axe head moulds found by a friend in Somerset. Great casting project, Somerset detectorist YT channel if you’re interested.
Amazing info Anton. Followers on this channel never fail to amaze me!! It’s got the look and feel of being ‘old’ and given the local history I was hoping Bronze Age. I’ve been lucky to find a few Bronze Age items including an axe, a rapier and several fragments and all have that same ‘green’ colour and weight to the items so I appreciate you fantastic knowledge Many thanks
By it's color, definitely a Bronze Age piece. If the man says it's a sprue, then it is. My first thought was, a casting that failed, perhaps from the metal being poured being too cold.
The American coin is a Buffalo Nickel. It does indeed have an Indian figure on the other side. They started in 1913, and we replaced it with the Thomas Jefferson nickel in 1938.
I also researched the Imperial Service Badge. It was given out 1908-1921. A short description I found read “The Territorial Force Imperial Service Badge was a short-lived decoration of the United Kingdom awarded to those members of the Territorial Force (TF) who were prepared to serve outside the United Kingdom in defence of the Empire, in the event of national emergency”.
38:07 an Indian buffalo is greatly received in America John so to find one in Scotland is just a super find. Well done buddy. Love these longer videos. All the best to you and yours from all of us. ( Roger Hipkiss ) 🤗👍
Awesome finds for you both. I'm jealous, I have only found 2 Buffalo nickels in my years of detecting, and you find one in Scotland, that's great. Cheers from Texas.
Well John congratulations on finding ya big man’s ring and, congratulations to Martin on the news about his Ryal, a good long video tonight with some unusual finds well done both of you I enjoyed it especially the giggling fit over the ring 😅😅
Wow! I live in the US and have only seen 3 Buffalo nickels and never found one. Also, thanks for the update on Marty's gold coin. I'm looking forward to more videos from those fields.
Many thanks for the kind words Stephen and I’m glad you enjoyed. Hopefully many more great finds to come although so far silver has eluded me in 2024!!
Buffalo nickels are even difficult to find here in the US, they stopped making them before 1940. I think I have found only one myself over 40-ish years of detecting. Cool finds as usual! That green stone is sweet too, the color is amazing, glass or not.
I found a roll of Buffalo Nickels where an amusement park once operated. They were 1915S uncirculated but turned brown by the water and soil. Still a nice find. They’re out there to be found but you need to dig the pull tab signals to find them.
What an absolute belter of a day lads loads of interesting finds in such a small area cant wait to see what comes up over the next 20 years 😂 1900 acres!! Wow!!! Great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍
Well done Shirley!!! 😂😂 I wonder if the ginormous bullet shaped thing is a very old survey piece that resembled plum bobs. The elongated oval found with the brooch looks like a souvenir flattened penny, or a penny flattened by railroad tracks. Martin’s gold coin looks fantastic unfolded so glad you finally heard back from them!
Many thanks Laurie. A plumb bob seems like a really good suggestion. Martyn’s gold coin is a beauty. Better than any coin I’ve ever found!!! The jammy swine! 😜
@@thescottishdetectorist yes, it’s sometimes lovely to see Martyn find some normal aluminium! 😂🤣😂 You are obviously a very good mentor! The Roman’s used a survey instrument that used 4-5? plum bobs. Is there any Roman in that field? That field is wonderful so far!
Many thanks, it takes a lot of extra work to do in the editing process but everyone seems to like it so well worth the effort! Best wishes and see you on the next dig
Only been with you a short while and loving everything I've witnessed so far, so apologies if this question has been asked before....are you a History Professor? And if not, why not??
Thanks for the kind words Andrew. Alas, no I’m not a history professor 👨🏫 but I’m glad you like the videos. I’m a historian and a tour guide in Scotland hence the historical knowledge, but I wish I’d been a history teacher! Maybe in another life! Thanks for watching
I love how you keep your tales of Dirty Bertie family friendly. I'd be itching to tell people about his special chair (which people still don't know how it was used ), and that he had permanent rooms in a br...b...🤔...pleasure house in Paris. Sorry. I just love history, especially the odder end of things.
Thanks for al your vidieos John! You are an entertainer with the humor and interesting history you put in to them. Makes you want to metaldetecting, but after checking it out a little its pretty hard to do leagly i sweden :-) /Mattias
Many thanks!! Glad you enjoyed. Hope you are staying warm in Sweden 🇸🇪 and thanks again for giving us Henrik Larsson, Mikael Lustig and Johan Mjallby! Best wishes and happy hunting if you ever go out!
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. I’m happy to see y’all getting out to detect before the next storm. Funny…a hundred year old horses arse…hey I resemble that comment. That bit of bronze looks like an Iron Age mallet head. Yep…sure thing. Words for the day…crusty and toasty…and fun. A Buffalo head Nickel and an awesome Iron Age ring. Too cool.
that ryal is worth a pretty penny (if you'll pardon the pun). what a beautiful find, and congratulations to martin - our museums in scotland will be surely richer for having such a wonderful artifact!
I love seeing you find coins from the USA there 😂 especially love the Buffalo Dime 🐃 😅 Lolzzz. Great video as always 👍 very much enjoy your videos ❤ HH and take care 🙂
Amazing finds guys! So much history in one day. Can't wait to see what else you find there. Congrats Marty for your treasure confirmation. The detail on the coin is stunning!
I really like the way you super impose the coin or what not... I always thought that Brittania was in a wheelchair!! LOL I'm American , give me a break!! Great videos btw.
"A big man's ring..." 🤣 I shouldn't have just watched it on catchup at 7am in Blairgowrie as I think I just woke the rest of the house up lauging so much! Then you finish off saying you have a horses arse... Sometimes we need the silly sense of humour. Well Done boys for keeping it together! ;)
Many thanks Julie and yes you are more than welcome. You are our neighbours and the wars of independence are over…. Well kind of 🤣 Many thanks and glad you enjoyed
So please pardon my ignorance, I don’t understand what’s happening with Marty’s gold coin. Do he or the land owner not receive any compensation for it being claimed by the “treasure trove” folks?
I know I’m prone to aiming high with my guesses, but that big chunk of bronze looks like part of a little statue. The torso of a male figure Could be in armour, hence the distinct indent where the head and neck would be. The asymmetry of what would be the shoulders is one clue. Also the angle of the straight side (which is where I think it would be connected to the next section- the hips) suggests the pelvic tilt of a standing figure. Plus there also appears to be a hole on that side, for the rod that would hold the parts together. That’s my guess
Yes! We call a five-cent piece a Nickel. It was largely made of that metal. Unfortunately the date is often rubbed away on this coin. There is an "Indian head" dime (worth ten cents - of silver) and the nickel (five cents). Now the nickel has Jefferson's profile and the dime has Roosevelt's. The penny is still of copper (but less and less of it). All of our old coins seem to be in circulation and we just luckily get older coins as change or from a roll of coins. Of course collectors often check out rolls of coins at the bank for sport. I adore watching sorting through and love it when you have a lucky day. Your good humor is abundant at all times. Best to you, Wanda
Just give that ring a good soak in irn bru. 😊 Fun show John. My husband and I watch all your shows. It’s the highlight of our day. Hmmm what’s that say about us? More importantly, what’s that say about you!! 🤣
Wow this was fun to watch! Congratulations to Martin for the Flemish Gold. I'm always looking for Buffalo nickels. I never expected one in that field 😂
What a spectacularly interesting day. How much fun for the two of you! Hope you can pass on more info on some of the finds in future. Thanks for sharing😊
Wonderful finds and all with a common theme though spanning eons of time, so interesting what's hidden beneath the soil, such mysterious treasures speaking to us from the past. I was saddened by the buffalo nickel as on the reverse it depicts a Native American with the word Liberty, sadly they were practically wiped out by the colonizers and those that were left put into reservations and forbidden from practicing their culture.
You probably found out we call that American 5 cents coin a "buffalo nickel," which was made 1913-1938. We still have nickels.

Enjoyable as usual For those that are not aware on buttons coin badges ect , the crowns are different and can date an item , though practice I can approximately date by the crowns shape as it tells me what king or queen it represents IE QVC can vary , Edward is different to George V and V1 QEC different from Victoria’s I found this knowledge handy when collecting buttons in the past
G'day John. The slightly hour glass shaped metal object with a hole through it crossways could be part of a cylinder priming cup. Such cups were features on many early internal combustion engines fuelled by petrol. A handle to actuate a rudimentary flow control valve was located in the transverse hole through the long axis of the primer. Before starting the crude old engines which had only the most rudimentary carburettors, raw petrol was poured into one such cup on top of each cylinder. The valve on the primer was then opened to allow the measure of fuel contained in each cup to enter the cylinder below in order to help the engine start, then the flow control valve was closed again to contain compression before hand-cranking to start it.
Congratulations Gentleman, a nice day and lots of finds.. Martin congratulations on your gold coin... I remember someone finding one that was all folded up and the person almost thought it was like foil, was that this coin?
Buffalo or Indian head nickel…. 1913-38, beautiful coin and a personal favorite. @64 usually on Deus 2.0 as well as shotgun shells and what’s its. Good job!
a Buffalo Nickel! great find. 1914-1938. The date is on the Indian's shoulder and they usually wear off pretty quickly. great find!
*1913-38
Amazing!! Thanks for the info and what a find to get in Perthshire!!! I wonder how it got here
The war. Some American GI lost while training or a camp was near
5¢ = Nickel; 10¢ = Dime for both Canadian and United States coins
5 cents here in the US is called a nickel, mainly because of the metal is was made from. But in the 1800’s we also had large cents and even 3 cent coins (called trimes!). I’m wondering if a US soldier was wandering about in Perthshire during WW2?

Well there you go! Every days a school day! Thanks Pete
Also it's not made of nickel. I have doubts that it was referred to as a nickel as a result back in the time of it's use but who knows?
It's an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper. @@Sparky6string

some Buffalo nickels differed in whether the bison was standing on flat ground or not, and i cannot recall which we desired more as kids.
How they get there is always the big mystery isn't it! It's fun to wonder, even though we'll never truly know. @@thescottishdetectorist

Just a couple of guesses 26:13 spool from a fishing reel maybe. 20:42 possibly a plumb bob. The rest, well you'd know better than I. Cheers!
Perfect Wayne. I think you’re spot on with both! Many thanks

Could be in armour, hence the distinct indent where the head and neck would be.

Before starting the crude old engines which had only the most rudimentary carburettors, raw petrol was poured into one such cup on top of each cylinder.
The valve on the primer was then opened to allow the measure of fuel contained in each cup to enter the cylinder below in order to help the engine start, then the flow control valve was closed again to contain compression before hand-cranking to start it.
Looks like a fishing reel
Great shout!! It does! Thanks
26:02 that is the end of a wooden roller blind from probably 100 years ago. Had them in a house I owned in Perthshire.
Ahh! Thanks Paul!
Every man and boy used to carry a penknife when I was young, so many uses.
Yes, those were the days
Great video again and some good finds,you should double check the ring,I found a similar one in that condition and it turned out to be gold 👍
I’ll have a look ! Thanks
Meant to say it was a carnelian signet ring,the seal in the middle of mine was glued on, but it was as crusty as yours I thought it was iron
That ring is amazing
I wonder how old it is. I don’t get that many rings but it looks old!!
@@thescottishdetectorist I wouldn’t like to put a date on it, but it’s definitely a belter of a find
@@Flint-I I think so. I think I can see a few shapes on the bezel but don’t want to clean it. One for the Museum!!
Buffalo nickle, awesome find
Congratulations Gentleman, a nice day and lots of finds..
Martin congratulations on your gold coin... I remember someone finding one that was all folded up and the person almost thought it was like foil, was that this coin?
Glad you enjoyed! Yes the folded up coin was found by Martyn and it is the one that features in this video and will be claimed by the museum!

Crazy Joe! I’d love to know how that made it all the way over here!!! These finds always amaze me!
Buffalo or Indian head nickel…. 1913-38, beautiful coin and a personal favorite. @64 usually on Deus 2.0 as well as shotgun shells and what’s its. Good job!
