Hey John be proud of your bendy thumb. My aunt had two and I
have one on my right hand. We are both descended from James Robb, a native of Perthshire who migrated to New South Wales in around 1830.
Long live the bendy thumb!
âIâve just picked up a rotten potatoââŠinstant sub brother!đ
Coming right after the ring, itâs a lesson in humility!
Awesome John, when will you be posting a video of your collection? It has to be tremendous by now!
Correct on the bullet. Likely WWII era .50 BMG. Still in use today. Originally developed by John Moses Browning (USA) essentially as an anti tank round in WWI. It's a scaled up .30-06 rifle cartridge. Nice finds!
You are correct on the type of bullet The black tip designate it as armor piercing It used a tungsten penetrator inside the copper jacket. That ammunition type is still in use today.
That would put a hurting on someone!
I have 2 đđ
It's always amusing watching folks in the UK find gun related things. Y'all should watch a couple Demolition ranch CZcams videos or something. The casing was a 5.56 the short 1 ring bullet was probably a . .38 and he shoots a 50bmg almost every episode! He'll, Herrera had a 50bmg pistol the last 2 vids.. American gun culture can teach Y'all a lot !
I was thinking it was a 45 or 50 caliber as well I just wasn't sure because the 50 cals I've seen are a bit longer. Thanks for confirming!
The Sapphire and diamond cluster ring looks so much like one I lost whilst out walking years ago ( though several hundred miles away from your field so unless mine got picked up by a long distance travelling mole, not the same one)
Maybe a Magpie dropped it there ,sorry for your loss
@@Flint-I Hopefully one day it will be someone else's gain
Iâve recently found a 5 stone 14 Karat gold ring in my local field and they turned out to be real diamonds. That sparkle is certainly promising.
The setting of the stone also.
Iâm so glad I found your Chanel.Your knowledge of history is amazing.Even at 73 I have learned more from you than I ever did at schoolâŠ.
The black tip on the .50 cal Browning Machine Gun round indicates
that it is an Armor Piercing projectile (AP). The Brass/Casing on the
.50 BMG is impressive as well, if you find one. like sjohnson said.
Agreed, that is a.50 Browning machine gun round. Used from the 2nd world war to present as a vehicle or aircraft machine gun.
I think the thing at 39:00ish, made in England, is for tensioning the guy line for a tent.
Yes!!!
SPRATTS was the first large scale dog biscuit manufacturer based in London. Dated from 1870. Wonder if the tag came from a large box that ended up at the farm being used as something else like storage and then gradually fell apart?
Sheep farmers have large dogs and landowners had hunting dogs. Any reason it shouldn't have been in use right there at the site?
@@BrunetteVignette no idea. I would have thought that the condition of the tag signifies it's of some age, before dog biscuits were sold in paper bags or plastic tubs.
Congrats on the amazing find! Hopefully you take us along as your friend looks at the ring!
Oh if I only had a wee hord of Oak nuts!!!đ€Łđ€Łđ€ŁYou are the real treasure in your videos!đ»đ»đ»Love watching your finds from Arizona.
I love history and enjoy your commentary as well as your finds.
I'll wager the ring is silver and the stones are real. You're spot on about watch winder date. Philippe Patek patented the stem winder in the 1850's. That is what established the name. Made the watch key obsolete. Always interesting. Thanks. Cheers.
LAPUA is from Finland, great show, cheers!
Many thanks Rod! So much for me and my Spanish !
The bullit is a .50 calliber Ww2 anti thank bullits fired from airplanes. I think the black top meens armer piercing. We find a lot of them here in holland....đđ
Ik heb er laatst ook twee gevonden, maar helaas met een zilveren kop en die zijn brandbaar (heb ik me laten vertellen). Dus ik moet ze helaas wegdoen.
I must say your little pokey tool has come in good today đ
Nice daytime hunt and interesting finds. The ring is a nice surprise
Sparkling little find mate, keep us updated!
Many thanks. Will do!
This was probably the most entertaining video so far! I giggled more than was probably warranted, but I thank you for it none the less!
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from the beautiful hills of Tennessee. That looks like a lovely sapphire ring. Sweet.
12:46 I love these tokens/seals you find you must have a collection of them now mate! They are beautiful
Many thanks Mark. Much appreciated
Well it certainly looks like you are back in the saddle again, great finds on a windy cold day. You are rugged fellow! Love your videos, Happy Sunday! đ„°đâ€ïžđ
The lead Palm thingy ....The notch looks like a bullet hole with the lead pushed out on one side. well done on the ring Looks real enough to me
Looks like a real gem to me! Possibly sapphire - Iâd expect a softer stone to be much more scratched up. Looking forward to an update đ€©
the bullet is 50 cal more than likey fired from a Browning M2
Looks unfired, no marks from the rifling
Thanks Justin. Much appreciated. A whopper of a bullet
50 cal unfired possibly armour piercing
I agree, .50 bmg.
Black tip is armour piercing i believe.
Wow, that ring sure does sparkle. Lots of great finds today. The microphone did really well with the wind very impressive.
Iâm leaving for St Andrews on Monday 15th May. So excited to be back in beautiful Scotland again. So enjoy seeing all your amazing finds
Many thanks and have a great trio
Trip even
Good day, John! Another chilly day on the hunt, with a range of finds that kept you going strong! I did the river here, fossil hunting. We would like to see your collection ,but I know you have been collecting a looong time, so I suggest picking one type of item and showing us your display, soring, and labelling approach to it. Have you ever tried using acrylic bead display cases (9.5" bead storage case with jars by bead landing) for smalls? I love them for small fossil sharks and other small finds. Some sorted into jars, some bigger around the jars. It looks great hanging on the wall, shows things off. I also use it for marble collections, putting really nice ones in the little jars, and having the rest loose arnd them. Wish they made it thicker, only for relics slightly less than an inch thick. But super clear, displays great, and easy to take things out to look more closely. Have a great day
Nice little mid 19th century stem watch winder, John. Those type of watches were commercialised by Patek Philippe & Co in the 1850s. Patek Philippe still make expensive watches. đ Sweet little silver ring too. Might be a little engagement ring. Somebody was sorry to lose it.
Been windy here too in the central United States. I found a 3 pound rooster this morning inside a pint fruit jar. Lol. Good hunt John
Now that's windy. Did you have to "detect" him or was he a surface find? đ
lovely ring well done
I am of Scott descent and have the same bendee thumb, not as much but noticeable. đ
Nicely done assortment of finds, canât wait to see how the ring turns out to be. đșđž
First two targets are bullets. .22 and .75 :)
The ring is quite an old fashioned setting. Seems to me likely to be a real stone with some small diamonds .
Spratts London were a major dog biscuit manufacturer in 19thC, ring looks late 20thC maybe the 80's
At the very end you had a 2 holed bracket. That was indeed from farm equipment. It's a side link to a chain. Many farm implements are chain driven, especially haying equipment. It's common to have chain breaks in the field. Love your channel!
Enjoyed this dig very much, loved the ring what ever itâs made of, so pretty. The light box is a great idea too.
Lovely find! Spratt's was a pet food factory in London for a long time..... now turned into posh flats. By the way, I have 2 extremely bendy thumbs, I've never seen anyone else with thumbs like me, we might be related đđ Don't try to point the way to someone though you'll send them the wrong way đ
Well that field gave up some intriguing finds, what an interesting day. I hope the ring turns out to be valuable!
Soooo Brilliant đ„đ„ love the Ring đđâïžâïžđŹđ§đșđž
Wow what amazing finds! I hope that rings turns out to be platinum, diamond and sapphire! I would have never known that piece of lead was a palm guard. Also, I didn't know those tiny 5p's went back as far as 1991! I feel very old now lol.
That coin was a silver sixpence (6 old pence worth half of todays modern 5pence (which is worth approximately one old shilling)piece)and not a 5 pence piece. There were 12 old pennies to the shilling. I only know this because Iâm old, lol đ
@@susanlampshire639 There was a 5 pence shown maybe earlier in the video đ
Amazing day! It just comes to show that on some days you can win âm all.
A very nice piece of jewellery. Well done. The setting of the stones make me believe this is no cheap ring John.
I think itâs Nessy living under that concrete slab in Perthshire. I mean theyâve cleared the loch so many times now and it wasnât there.
I guess it moved to Perth.
I wouldnât dare to make fun of the bendy thumb. Itâs a deadly weapon on the right hand.
Over here Iâm sure weâll be needing a permit for carrying that thing around. No gloves allowed, thatâll be concealed carrying.
Very great digs again! Keep us updated on what your friend might tell you about the pretty ring, please. đ I think, aside from sapphire, the stone could also be blue topaz if it's real.
Haha, and thanks for explaining why you keep mentioning the "bendy thumb". I thought, bending thumbs like that was normal, because mine do it, too. đ
And I think, "oak nuts" is an adorable way to refer to acorns. I did grin, when you said that some videos back. đ
The last find: aluminium with two holes, is the locking mechanism for a tent guy rope. I have the same ones on my tent.
I think the little tag was from sprats ltd patent London. They made dog biscuits. The factory is still standing but it is now flats
Your 'in the field' historical knowledge and ID skills are hugely impressive and add value to your already engaging videos. Bravo.
Hello from huntsville Alabama the rocket city I enjoy watching your videos very much.. Thanks for bring use along.
I hope the ring turns out to be a great treasure! Lovely and very enjoyable video as always. Thank you.
Sapphire and DiamondsâŠ. Silver or white Gold
The Y hook thing could be a picture rail hook for Pictures or Photos
Beauty!!! Thanks for that. A sad loss for someone
What a great field đâđ» more to follow Iâm sure đđ». Great work John.
The highs and lows of metal detecting! What an exciting find. When I was a very young child, I am not sure why or how I was playing with my Dad's ring outside our house (not sure if it was his wedding ring) I often wonder if it could be found by a Detectorist....or imagine going back myself with a metal detector and finding it myself...
the last find with two holes is part of a chain connecting link.other half had two legs ,the piece you found went over them and a clip slipped over it. a drive chain similar to a bycycle chain. probably agricultural.
I think it's a fastener from a guy rope, somebody has been camping nearby.
@@jjesteruk you could be right. i didnt think of that option, but both scenarios could be possible.
The last thing you found is a plate off a drive chain, like a bike chain but more heavy duty.
What a beautiful find!! Looks pretty real to me!đ„°đ€žââïžđšđŠ
Large copper projectile = .50 BMG cal ; standard armourment on almost all U.S aircraft through WW2 later fitted to RAF aircraft in WW2. Manufactured with numerous types of war head, eg tracer, armour piercing etc.
Made in england aluminium looks like tent rope or tarp cord length adjuster. Keep up the good work đ
So you were teasing after the last video!!!đđExcellent stuff my friend.đđđđ
The notch on the palm guard looks like it could have fitted around the base of a finger to give it a bit more stability...just a cockeyed guess..đđđ
Hey John. 43:19 Spratts did animal food since 1860 and the founder was a gentleman called James Spratt. They are still going I think as it says 163 years đź. I hope this helps. Great day again my friend đ€đ
21.4 K .!!! Go John.! Looking forward to this đ
Many thanks Nick. Much appreciated
Great video John. You sounded very excited to have found the ring. đđ»đđ»
I think my arthritic knees would prevent me from taking up metal detecting, but this channel is almost as good as the real thing. Keep up the excellent work!
The last find looked like a tent guy rope adjuster.
Iâve got those same bendy thumbs. Iâm always self-conscious when giving a âthumbs upâ, as it looks like Iâm pointing backwards! đ
Well done great veiwing you are a diamondđ
Great video John, thanks for sharing.
I think the large bullet is possibly a 20mm shell. Definitely a type of palm guard for the large lead disc.
The ring just shows one good find can turn an average day into a great day. I've only found two rings, one was post medieval bronze with holes where 3 missing stones had been. The other turned out to be costume jewellery. Well done đ đ
Your full of knowledge m8đđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż your videos are cracking love the ring would make my heart beat aswell lolđ
Could be sapphire or blue topaz, the watch winder could be worth coin to a watch collector, Patek are valuable watches
Ultrasound jewelry cleaner might be a good investment for cleaning items.
Great hunt John,and what a stunning little ring,you are certainly blessed to have so much good land to hunt on.keep them coming pal đȘđȘđȘđȘ
I have enjoyed your history lessons throughout this winter. The oldest coins I might find is from the mid 1800s. Itâs still too cold and windy here in Wyoming, USA to detect. I just subscribed to your channel just now. Keep the lessons coming and thank you for taking us along on your adventures
Hi Gil, Chris from west central Minnesota USA here.
I got hooked on this channel due to all the old coins and artifacts he finds. His history on these finds is very interesting. A "must watch" is the episode on the "bronze bull" artifact. John took it to a museum to be analyzed. One of a kind prize find. Love the history!
@@christywerpy437 Hi Chris, I saw the âbronze bullâ episode, I have been watching his channel for quite some time now. I am amazed at what he knows about the history of Scotland.
i really donât know how I stumbled across your blog a couple of months ago but I am really glad I did as it has become one of my favorite to watch. I have learned a lot about Scottish history from you. Thanks from California
John, I was hoping to see the triangular Y shaped piece of metal, it was very intriguing. Taikuu again and on to the next.
I'm wondering if that is a dress hook -- to keep long skirts off the ground ... stitched on somewhere near the waist .... I've seen one somewhere else ..
John the last one looks like a chain link .
Well put together video and i like the ring. Good hunt and see you on the next bro
Wow great findsâŠâŠI thought I had history here in Penn. what a dream to be on the same location as these people from history! Happy hunting!
Well,same as your metal detector that day, I am blown away with your video. Not only do you make it interesting, but I enjoy your good sense of humour. I believe the ring is white gold, as silver would tarnish and most likely a Sapphire. Great finds
Well done J, some nice finds there l'm looking forward to the update on the ring ie Sapphire, Garnet???
Spratts Patent London was a Dog biscuit factory & the way they reflect the light when you first dug it up Id say they are real đ
I found the exact same Victoria coin this week here in Denmark
Many thanks đ and happy hunting
Get your hands in đ some nice finds again
Always nice to find a ring ! You will have to go back to this field again !
Interesting finds. Seems like a great field. Thank you.
OOh what is it at 7.14 ?? Ah palm guard interesting, some cool finds
Another great hunt, thank you for taking us along
Congratulations dear John! Enjoyed your finds nearly as much as you did đ
Can't wait to get updated about the ring đ
That ring setting used an intricate mold so looks pretty modern.
LOL @ "If only I had a tool."
It looks really sparklyâŠand the blue stone is lovely even now! Looks real to me! Hope itâs a good find.
OH MY GOD!đ
OMG đ± đ
Wow! That day was a real belter! That ring might be platinum, and I'm pretty sure the centre stone is a sapphire, well done John! The Queen Victoria coin is beautiful, as is the silver George V coin. This is why we subscribe to your channel!
The ring might also be white gold.
thanks john for another great video its a chain link
John.... 22k subscribers! OMG! Congrats! You deserve it!
The small bullet you found with one ring around it is probably from the early 1900s to the very late 1800 because you can see the grooves in the bullet from the rifling of the barrel, and rifling is a late 1800s invention
Fantastic finds John...That ring, I wonder who it belonged to. Maybe a tattie farmer, on the way to propose to his lass. MĂČran taing!
When I was metal detecting about 10 years or so ago I got me an old Carpenters leather apron and attached my pointer to the side and kept my brushes and a small knife in it to keep my stuff together most com with a pretty good size pocket on it fo nails that I added a flap to to keep my finds in, then I added Velcro to the detector to hold my tooth brush because it kept calling out the holder. I have watch a lot of different detectors over the years but you blow the all away with the educational style you have, you probably have heard of Digger Dawn, a little funny at times but she holds her own. And here int the USA I watch Green Mountain Metal Detecting who I believe educates but nowhere near how you do. Keep it up, almost half way through all your old pst and really enjoy each one. I'm from Savannah Georgia and I am 64, lost my detecting stuff to a ex who stole it and sold it, wasn't nearly as good as yours but it was good enough, I detected in Germany back in the late 1970's found a few old WWII German helmets two were in pretty good shape and a few others not so good, detected an old castle near Frankfort and found a very nice sword that was wrapped in some kind of I guess was deer skin that was almost perfect condition. But when I left Germany the Customs at the airport took everything and told me it was illegal to take stuff like that out of Germany, I was only 16 at the time so I got mad but let it go. Bunch of @$$holes. I will keep watching and have told a bunch of friends about your channel.
Exciting when you get a good find
I have been watching you for quite a while now and I have never heard you say so many OMGs
Another great day of interesting finds! Especially intrigued by your pretty little ring⊠please let us know more about it when you can! Also, loved learning about palm guardsâŠsuch a practical, simple and ingenious bit of history. Oh, I did a quick google on Sprattâs Patent LTD and it was apparently a very successful Dog Biscuit company established in 1860.
Great finds & great accent (two for one)
good day!
Many thanks Nero
The large bullet looks to be a 50 caliber round. These were common in WWII aircraft armament (especially American planes). These are also rifles (Barrett) ND machine guns that are used by US forces that use the round.
The only jeweler i know is my wife and she would love a find like that. đ
