John, you made me laugh out loud when you called yourself a "jammy swine", that is a real beauty! What a wonderful treasure to find. That makes up for having to deal with that rough walking plowed field. I also loved the coins you found. Well done John!!
What the heck is a jammie swine?
â@@c.w.3750lucky
Yes definitely âJammy Swineâ love watching your adventures.

That's what we say in Wales also Jammy swine
Great day treasure hunting, John! The red stones found in your area are called Pyrope Garnets and Garnets. The stone on the wax stamp could be one of those.
I agree: many fob seals have carnelian intaglia, but that stone is too pink, it does look exactly like garnet. What a beautiful find.
There is also the lost field of agates (chalcedony family i think), i think possibly with ww1 & 2 it just fell out of importance, maybe the people that know keep it quiet. Like you say there are Garnets up that way, Ruby bay on the east coast.
Carnelian tends to be more red-orange. I agree with the garnet guesses. Beautiful!
Enjoyed the video. The mountains look similar to the ones where I live in East Tennessee, USA.
What an interesting and varied metal detecting adventure. The the gold fob intaglio is absolutely stunning. Good job!
What a great day for you John. You are definitely my favorite Scottish detector. Iâd enjoy having you and my favorite USA guys together. NowâŠabout those voicesâŠitâs us enjoying your finds!đđđ
You're such a lucky guy!!! đ Maybe I should ask you to fill out a lottery ticket for me. đ
Hmm, the red stone in the cute gold charm/pendant... Probably wouldn't be bloodstone (also called Heliotrope), as that's green with just some red speckles. Carnelian is possible, but most often looks more like an orange-y/brownish red (at least the ones I have in my mineral collection do). I'd tend to think it could be garnet. Ruby is red, too, but in that color intensity probably too expensive. Garnet, however, was very often used in jewelry in the era you mentioned the pendant could be from. The mudlarkers also often find it in the Thames down in London. And the shade of red would fit as well. I have some tiny garnet pieces and they have that color. Whatever it is, it's a very beautiful find once again! đ€©
I started watching your videos 4 months ago, I liked them so I went back to your first video and watched them in order. I've just caught up. Great channel. I'm in New Zealand so I don't get to find old stuff as our country is too young.
Same in western canada
What a great day - thanks for taking me along đ
That bit at the 20:00 mark looks very much like an electrical lug. Wire goes in the round end, crimped and it gets attached via screw to something.
We come for the Scottâs axecent and stay for the views cheers for the content boyo đŽó §ó ąó ·ó Źó łó ż watching
19:40 An electric wire crimp terminal. Was there an electric fence nearby? The gold pendant- the weight end for a pocket watch in a stylised version of the owners lady love, in a hooped dress, to keep her (metaphorically) close to his heart. As the model has no actual head, the face could well be of she who presented the piece. I wear pocket watches now so am learning some of the history and symbology.
That piece of jewelry is so unique. What a stunning find!
Amazing find again, it is stunning John. Keep up the good work, that roman silver hoard is beckoning. Good luck and congrats again.
Congrats, John! Well done on your subscriber numbers and the lovely little gold seal stamp. Nothing sniffs out the tiny treasure like the XP Deus 2, and a good detectorist of course.
Thanks Ravendale.
I had an XP Goldmaxx power v4 previously for two years and now the XP DEUS II for a year and I have to say they are fantastic detectors. Really amazing especially at the small targets, they love gold too and are just fantastic detectors!
Best wishes and see you on the next!
The pendant stone has a Greek vibe about itâŠwhat a great find!!!
What an incredible find... and funny that the mudlarkers 'kit and caboodle' found an intagglio (if that's what they're called?) on the video they put out today, they were talking about the history of them, there was some good information on them if you want to check it out. They said those are for wax seals ( the one they found was for ink (the design raised) made of bloodstone. Another great day, so pleased for you, well found !
They also found a possible silver cigarette case.
Wow! That intaglio fob is beautiful! No wonder you were so excited! Gorgeous find! Well done!. The rectangular piece of lead you found next after this find seemed to have a T on it, but I may be mistaken.
Claggy field it may have been, and hard sloggin', but that signet/seal with a Greek warrior, I thought, maybe Achilles, was a stunning find! It's very gratifying to watch your content, mate, almost as if I found these treasures myself! Excellent day of detecting! đđ
the little pen knife is covered in an early plastic called "french ivory", meant to look like real ivory.
Another amazing find! Well done!
Looks like the end of a pocket watch chain , very nice
I love how excited you get when you find a precious treasure, probably because I get just as excited! đ€Ł We get to live vicariously thru your channel. Especially when it is a precious item that hints at life experiences. Coins are excellent, but I really love the unique things you find. The peacock is awesome, but then I am somewhat obsessed with them. Now that little charm you found is so stunning!!
What a lovely gold seal matrix fantastic find mate well done John đȘđȘđ€Łđ€Ł
You found an intaglio pendant! Beautiful. Could be Georgian or Victorian. Well done. đđ» The marks on the case (cc) is probably a makerâs mark and the crown seems to indicate that it is silver.
@Dalriada Skillen - The cig case looks tarnished in a silvery way so I think you may be right
Beautiful gold charmđ My hubby had just called you a jammy swine just before you said it đ You are so lucky and what great day for you đđ
So much history to be discovered across the pond! Bravo!!
Beautiful find! Congratulations!
That's a beauty of a wax matrix đ€© excellent find. Congratulations in your steady and rapid channel growth. đđ
I would be very interested in finding out when that little gold dress with the intaglio stone is from. It looks much newer to me but maybe jewelers were that good back then! You work very hard to bring us all this history, you deserve all those subscribers .
have a look at what the Anglo Saxons did with gold etc 1200 or so years back
đCongrats. Wonderful find. Happy for you. Good luck and loads of fun at Detectival. How could you not with your crew? Cheers
Fantastic finds! Couldnât happen to a nicer guy!
Stunning that is Johnđ shows to keep digging up trash youâll eventually land on the treasure! Well saved buddy
I am so glad that you walked over in the muck and ended up with a great gold find, it's a beauty for sure.
An Edward VIII penny was minted for Fiji. This coin has a hole in the middle so there was no profile of the king just his name.
Beautiful find, John! Congrats on the 22,600 subscribers!
What a fun find to take to Detectiville. Show and tell time for suređ
Take a picture only. Why take the risk of losing it, or worry about losing it all the time there.
Fantastic finds!
Glad you enjoyed Julie
well saved John,great great find wonderful piece of history .Cant wait till the next video
Stunning Gold John đ€©Great Video again đ,The best of luck at detectivalđŻ
Brilliant work John! Yet again. Greek goddess Athena bust with the spear below by the look of it although you might be right - possibly Minerva/Roma. 100% a fob seal. Beautifully made and looks like it has a bit of weight too so very valuable.
The sterling silver case has multiple hallmarks. CC of course, then three below it - the lion passant on the left (can't resolve if facing left), possibly the pre-1820 London crowned leopard mark, and another on right presumably date. Top right might be another crown and I can vaguely see scratched letters/numbers too near the hinge. On the outside of the case is definitely some kind of engraving in the middle. Needs a microscope I think to resolve any more. Awesome!
What a find! Stunning detail on it too. Well done đ
Oh my gosh. That little lady is beautiful!!! Do you get to keep what you find? You did good today John!!! I need to make a trip to Scotland and bring my metal detector. We don't find that kind of beauty on the West coast of the states!!! Good job. I started screaming when you found it lol. đ
Thank you for sharing your days of 'Who Knows What...' with us. Love from Blairgowrie :) lol
Absolutely stunning find!
Mate I'm so happy on the success you're having long may it last and good luck on future digs đ
Another good day beautiful gold find and your 22.6 k well done. đ
Awesome find! Congratulations! The gold piece is stunning. Now you have to find something amazing when you all go to the event at the end of the month. I look forward to all your videos, but the metal detecting event at the end of this month is always exciting! Good luck with it! Also Congratulations on the viewer count! I knew one day you would just jump high in numbers of subscribers.
Wonderful finds and that intaglio is fantastic!
Love watching your video so relaxing.
Fabulous find! 9k gold started being produced in the UK in 1854, so I believe this beautiful fob would have been made after that date. By the way, you made me laugh out loud with 'Is it Excalibur?' đ And just a thought... it may be worth your while to get some acids for testing silver and gold, they're not very expensive and I find them easy to use. That way you would know for sure about the (possible) cigarette case.
At 3:24 on the electrical fitting, on the right hand end at the top, there is a faint, pale circular shape. Sometimes the contact point of a switch, for industrial electrical fittings, is a small circle of silver. There is one piece on either side of the switch, because of the greater electrical conduction of silver. VERY rarely, it is platinum or even a platinum and iridium alloy.
maybe the depiction of Minerva on your gold seal die? for the stone... maybe a garnet? wonderful find
Many thanks. Itâs really beautiful đ€© many thanks, helmeted Minerva is a definite possibility!!
Wow! To find such a beauty in the muddy dirt. Oh my, oh my Great find!
What a stunning little find, well done, congratulations on your continued success with you channel.
Congratulations John - a great find!
Congratulations John! That was lovely đđđ
Hey John, you're a handsome devil without the beany on!!! đđđđThe lead thing with "Pull To Open" may be a very late form of bag seal. as there is a slot running through it, apparently. A similar one was found in Colchester. Nice sixpence. I have an Onyx ring with that 'Roma' design on it, but that is only some 30 years old. Nice find my friend, lovely colour.đđđ
Beautiful piece of jewelry John. I enjoyed the video. See you fellas on the next bro.
Congrats on the awesome find, itâs a beautiful piece đ
What a beauty wonderful treasure to find.
Well done mate. What a beautiful find. Looks like a little 18th century lady. Quite unique. Congratulations.!! Bless up đ
Love this channel, and youâre so handsome x Thank you for getting us Scots excited about our history .
John, Get some of that sealing wax and make an impression. Fabulous finds sir. Best wishes to your family.
So cool!! I wonder if the intaglio could be the head of Hermes? He was the godsâ messenger and was connected with speed and travelers, so it would make sense to have his likeness on a sealed envelope that was meant to travel speedily to its destination, right?
You said it looked Roman, but the Victorians were pretty big on the Hellenistic aesthetic. I believe the period between 1830-1860 is actually called the Victorian Greek Revival, so it could fit! I think I may even see wings on the helmet đ§
What a gorgeous find - love your videos!
Many thanks for that great info! Iâll go and have a look!
You are the G.O.A.T. Greatest of all time you jammy git.love it đ
Congratulations on the great finds. You earned them.
I might suggest that you run the detector into the hedges and woodlots where you can.
Especially in heavily detected fields. Easier said than done, I know!
What a great hunt John, that is a really nice petroglyph on that gold charm. Congrats on gold and silver and a hand full off George's. Also congrats on passing 22k subs. Keep up the beep, good luck and happy hunting
Great catch on all and congrats on the relic gold!
This will be tonight's viewing sorted once everyone goes to bed John. Almost an hour this video. Can't wait m8 đ€đ€
Cool find man. Can you guys metal detect along Hadrians wall?
great video and good finds john
Another cracking day John setting you up nicely for detectiville all the best for your up coming venture
Great video again mate and lovely bit of gold mate đ
Amen!! And the XP DEUS II certainly loves finding the gold thatâs for sure!!
@@thescottishdetectorist it certainly does mate thatâs what I use love it might see you at detectival đ
You did it again Ye Jammy Swine. Great hunt
Love your videos and the gold find is amazing
Congratulations on 22.7K!
The gold seal is beautiful. My first thought was it's a garnet, but in the light box, I wonder if it's a ruby. The depth of color and the fact the intaglio and face of the stone are in perfect condition without any scratches makes me think it might be ruby. Ruby is a 9 on the Mohs scale, only diamond can scratch it, but garnet is a 7.5 Mohs, which can be scratched by quartz. I think rolling around in that field for 100 years or so would have noticably scratched a garnet. I'm rather surprised your jeweler friend didn't ID the stone.
What a Day and what a beautiful fob seal đ€©đ€© another great video have really enjoyed the light box at the end of the videos showing the finds đ
What a beautiful find. Is signet the word you were looking for? Signet rings were very popular for sealing letters with wax.
Nice! Beautiful piece of gold.
In my opinion, that pocket knife is 1934-1944.
it is 5 years since the new quid coin came out, seems longer though, as for the knife, 20th century for sure with the bakalite, could get the blades replaced and it restored, 20.00 is an electrical connector, the intaglia pendant looks great, awesome find
Congratulations! May your new subscribers bring you even more good luck...
As we say in Australia, you little ripper!!! â€đđ
Please make sure to press it in wax and show us the figure!đŁ
Oh man you're like a young Henry Kelly going for GOLD .Top job son
John, you found a signet, that looks like it is carved out of a Garnet. It HAS to be gold, because it doesn't have a speck of tarnish on it, and we all know that gold does not tarnish and it was certainly designed to be used as part of a letter writing seal, pressed into wax. Most times they were put into rings so you had a signet ring, but that is a Fob, and they hung them from their pocket watch chains! You can still get them but you have to ask for a signet to be put into your fob. And it is far too dark a red to be Carnelian I personally think it is a Garnet, both the Fob and the Garnet are in perfect condition, now you need to go and get yourself a pocket watch and have that Fob put onto the chain! You Lucky jerk! I am SO GREEN with Envy!!! First he finds a white gold ring with a sapphire and diamonds then he finds a yellow gold Fob with a signet carved into a Garnet set into it! I think I'm going to have to get myself a Deus II and go metal detecting! Schmuck! LOL
I would say that that gold fob is a Roman seal. What a BEAUTIFUL find. Truly amazing relic. Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. WOOHOO! I think thatâs one of your most awesome finds.
It might be a recycled Roman seal added to a Georgian fob!
Lucky finds good for u!!!
Lovely finds John. That gold seal fob is a cracker. (could be a Centurian's head). A few coins made for Edward V111 but not put into circulation had the head facing left like his dad. He insisted on this as he said it was his best side!!
I am in and looking forward to your great finds.
Amazing find " Good luck John ..
KEEP GOING "
John you dog you, my god you found a wonderful gem
Great job thank you for sharig this with us
A new sub, and you are 0issing me off. I have a couple cocktails, start thinking about heading to bed, and we have a new video. Then I pour another, and watch some crazy cat digging in fields in the hills of Perthshire, hoping he finds something cool. It's madness. Cheers.
Haha đ sorry for encouraging you to drink more but I am Scottish and itâs our favourite pastime!
Best wishes
John
Lovely findsđ I'm just learning but googled striped cigarette case - see Oxfam Truro pic, Penknife could be 30's (like my Dad's), lots of ha'pennys - there were stamps for Ed VII. As for the seal fob - just gorgeous! bell or almost looks like a Welsh lady - my Gt Aunt used to let us play with red wax seals... often made into rings I think, like half-sovereigns. Keep up the great vids!
great episode, thanks
It's hard to believe that the fob didn't get ruined by the plow! Great find!!
I thought the same thing. Not a scratch.
@@JW-kh9bm Probably because it was 9kt. not 18 or 24, which is much softer and probably would have been smashed.
A true beauty would like to have the story of that piece, congrats my friend đ»
Woo hoo !!! That's awesome đ
Argh!!!! That's beautiful maybe even Roman try using it to seal a letter with some wax to see what the imprint looks like be great to see that lad.All the best just love watching you on a Sunday morning from my bed as over did it yesterday working on my vehicles and the garden then cooked an awesome curry my back is Paggerd.
Definitely gold.. nothing beats the color of old gold! Loved the video - Regards from Denmark
