That thing at 3.34, with the hole at one end and the point at the other is a pre 4th Century Roman STRAP END. One for the museum.
My favorite CZcams channel! Even if you can't post remarkable finds, the quality of the channel and your natural sense of humor make always makes watching it fun and informative!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Turns out the Chinese coin is 50% silver 🤩 so I’m even happier and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos and information…. And humour! Thanks for taking the time to comment
'The Wizard' was a DC Thompson comic from the 20s through to the 60s
Amazing thanks Paul! That’ll help me narrow it down
@@thescottishdetectoristI'm sure it's used to decode "secret" messages sent from the TV program. Using those random letters at the bottom and then perhaps numbers to move vertically, you could convert a coded letter and number into a readable letter.
I love the coin fade-in showing it in new condition. That's an excellent touch. Stellar work.
Many thanks 🐸! It takes a lot more work but everyone enjoys the extra effort so well worth it!!
Aye I agree. Brilliant!
@@thescottishdetectorist it was watching time team when i was a child, and finally making sense of everything they'd been talking about when they showed an artists impression over the existing landscape, or finished the bit of pot or whatever, that really made me get into history like i did, so thanks for adding the extra effort.
Lovely to see Simon back out with you always makes us laugh great video as always John thanks for sharing keep up the hard work mate 👍
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 on 1M subscribers!!!! You have given me the support to get back into crocheting in a big way!!! Thank you for all you have done & continue to give!!!!!
The Secret service badges were a free gift with The Wizard comic 1950-1960.
That horse is higher quality than most childrens lead toys, your charm of comic book club is interesting.
Nicely done guys I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
You lads are a great team and always great finds 👍
Many thanks Lorraine. Best wishes
John, ye should gaun wi Simon and help him detect the beaches o Fife ( at least once ye should be the guest on his channel ) 😉😉😉😉
Good thinking John! Still waiting on him inviting me to the cannon beaches of Fife 🤣
At 11:50 the handle is from an Ever Ready Razor circa 1900/1915. Kwang Tung 20 cents/ 2 Jiao , 7th year of Republic of China 1912 to 1924. The fineness of many of these 20 Cent pieces is as low as .500 silver, and in 1924, the Anhwei Mint secretly produced quantities that were only .400 silver.(Details from NUMISTA).
The items you believe to be slate pencils, look like the carbon cores from the old batteries. As an inquisitive kid I took many apart, after leaving them in my various toys until they leaked and destroyed the item.
Shouldn't ignore old outhouse sink holes/pits. A creator on CZcams `Below The Plains` in USA found a bottle worth $16,000 dollars! 😊
I love that channel too
I was yesterday a few hours metal detecting and found only trash. But today I was on a walk with the family over the border in Switzerland. We bought a soft drink, and in the change I found a 10 Rappen (swiss "cent") coin from 1909 ! There's treasure everywhere 😊
Wish I could be there in Scotland hitting those fields....love the vids gents
The items you discover never cease to amaze. Sometimes I enjoy these weird finds more than a coin. Thank you for another great video. You’re the best!
You and Simon are wonderful, love from Wales.🔨⛏️🏴
Thanks John, I always enjoy your videos!
The copper object at around 6 - 7 minutes looks to me like a stopper. It even has a little “shelf” running around it, maybe to keep it from going any further into the mouth of the stoppee.
Thanks Susan! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for the suggestion
That looks a lot like a 12-gauge shotgun dummy shell. I would allow the user to pull the trigger without damaging the firing pin.
Commerative medal was for Edwards coronation, I was lucky enough to find a silver one
Great pulp bro. Made for great watching. Crazy finding that Chinese coin where you did.! Not to be sniffed at, as it has value. Interesting stuff. Bless up 👊
Your years of experience and historical background always make your videos interesting.
Another great video John, 20 cents Hong Kong/China coin. Greetings from Hong Kong!
I love all your content but every time you mention the airplane movie quote "don't call me Shirley I laugh out loud and scare my family" 😂
Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, and sidekick the Spanish Detectorist, from this old man in Tennessee. Thanks for sharing another brilliant day of metal detecting in the Bonnie fields of Perthshire. Awesome.
the Kwang Tung Province 20 cents coin is from 1920,s an value about £65 to £80 . nice find.
a bottle opener! LOL
Watching this on Easter. I hope you, Simon and your families have a lovely day, and many treats and treasures. 😉 ❤
Many thanks Maureen! And to you! Best wishes
Loud and clear, always great video
Love the two of you together ❤
The razer blade handle? is a lovely pattern one. Certainly reminds me of one. The head with the blades in would sit on top. To open and close the head to change the blades would be done by screwing the handle and head. Looks engined turned as well. But maybe just pressed. Keep doing what your doing John. Makes our weekend 👍
I think the thing you said could be a razor 🪒 It’s the handle off a 1930s ever ready razor ,as I have the same one ☝🏻 so you were right 👍🏻 niceone Scottish 🏴 detectorist and well done Spanish 🇪🇸 detectorist 👍🏻
Thanks for the video.
I never miss any of your videos love your channel and so excited to see what you find. TY
Great finds
Lots of fun and interesting finds -- Chinese coins and Secret Service badges !!
Some great finds there, look forward to seeing them and others in the lightbox. Hope you had a lovely Easter.
What an incredible mixture of weird things on this dig. Thanks.
Hi John hi Simon good to see you both why so much of gorgeous Gorgeous I wonder
Happy Easter to you and Simon. Couple of fun kids’ finds today and lots of coins. 👍👍
Hi guys,John,Simon,you guys are awsome
Great video sir! I love the little oddities you bring out of the earth.
Nice finds!
Thanks Patty. Would love to know the story of that coin!!
Simon"s there. Sure ti find good things now.😀
Many thanks!! Hope you enjoy the video and happy Sunday
Well done John 😁
Hi John, the audio sounds great. Good to see you out with Simon. Have a Happy Easter… John
Many thanks 🔫 John! Much appreciated
And thanks for letting me know about the audio!
Thanks 👍
John,I'm so impressed by your time and effort to this hobby. Bring on the gold relic or coin
So, this is the time of year when metal detecting and tour guiding collide. Good luck in both. Happy Easter!😊
Love the little secret service wizard badge! I lost count of coins for this go! Gorgeous George showing up as always 😂 Glad to see you’re staying busy on and off the fields!
Thank you so much for the awesome history lesson great video as always
Much appreciated Phil and I’m glad you enjoyed
At 2:28 I think this is an old graphite battery anode.
You should play detecting bingo - tick off the items - doorknob, aluminium, ring pull,... 😁
Box iron. 😁
Chinese workers were brought via the US route to do construction work in Europe during WWI. This also tied into the theory of the flu pandemic being brought first to the US by these workers to the military base in Kansas where some of the transport trains stopped and then on to the war front lines in Europe.
Amazing info!!! Thanks so much RedRuth!!
At 11:30 maybe a handle for razor, or magnifying glass?
A great day in the end John. I’m sure that field will produce a lot moth 🤗👍
John and his lucky charm 😂
Here we go!
I’d say he’s more like a lingering odour 🤣 hope you enjoy!
Happy Easter to 2 of my favorite metal Detectorists!!! 🐇🐇🐇
Have you tried the starfish custom program yet John? Watched another chap on CZcams yesterday and he said to always detect the starfish. Might be the way forward 😁. Keep up the good work, love the channel 👍👍👍
👍👍

Many thanks 🤩
That long metal circle thing 2:50 looks like a wooden box latch. idk If the box and lock were buried- its contents might be there! Keep digging! 😂
Always a super good watch Thanks for taking us with you.
Firstly i love all of the videos John. The bike bells your finding are the bottom half of the bell that screwed onto the top half. If they weren't screwed up tight they had a habit of slowly unscrewing themselves and then falling on the ground while your cycling.
Kwang Tung province is in south east china
Thanks Lee. I can’t believe a coin travelled all that way to the fields of Perthshire!!
hi simon
Maybe a weight, maybe a stopper.😊
The razor handle is a GEM micromatic or Ever-Ready from the 1930's
First....love these guys!
Hope you enjoy the double act!! Thanks Loni
The carbon pencils you refer to are carbon rods out of old batteries
Good to see you've made a full recovery and looking well again John, I think that with the amount of surface finds your making you might as well leave the detector at home as you appear to be getting good at it. I love the 5th dagger thing and good to see Simon he has that Tommy Cooper effect he doesn't have to say or do much and he just makes me laugh. Good video lads 😁👍
Good evening Mr ghost 👻
Hope you and Mrs ghost are well and getting out detecting!
Freshly ploughed soil and rain seems to be bringing up plenty of eyes only that’s for sure! I love the fifth dagger too. As for Simon, you’re right, he can make you laugh ‘just like that’ boom boom 💥
Razor handle, I have a similar complete one that was mi papas 😊
Happy Easter.
Many thanks Wayne
And to you!
Kwantung (Canton) is the Chinese province bordering Hong Kong. These 20 cent coins were produced between c.1918-1925 and began at 80% silver, but quickly debased to uncertain purity. Date marked on coin by year of reign; e.g. =+= followed by symbol for (last) Emperor is year 22 (2 x 10 + 2). So if reign began in 1898, year 22 would make it a 1920 coin!
No notice came for Premier on this John but enjoyed your video
There's a secret service badge, a free gift with the Wizard comic (1922 to 1963). The badges look like they were given away in 1930. What a cracking childhood object. I also love the Chinese coin. It's amazing what ends up in the ground and how far it travels to get there. Good episode!
Happy Easter from the united states....enjoy...
Many thanks!! Hope you enjoy and best wishes
Thanks John for the upload. “Scotland from the sky” on iplayer, there was one on Perth. Wondered if you’d seen the series. Take care guys! Happy Easter
Hope your Easter was amazing
Good to see you both out again and even though the silver eludes you both it’s a fun and interesting video. Good to see the different things you dig up - I’m sure you’ve wondered how door knobs and fittings end up in the middle of fields - Maybe burnt there? I’ve even found a Ford Anglia door handle!! Nice little Kwangtung Province coin though and how did that end up in Perthshire? 🤔
Love your channel and your content! Been following you from the first. Great finds always. Those carbon rods might be the core of a battery. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
The cap was early 20th century pill bottle yeastvite are still sold today as a tonic
Thanks for the video, John and Simon. I'm getting pretty good at identifying your English and European coins, especially for someone native to W. Texas. The Chinese coin was not expected from the fields of Perthshire, what a unique find. Cheers from Texas.
Many thanks David. A long way from him that’s for sure and I’d love to know how it made it all this way and who lost it!
Well, it wouldn’t let me add onto my other comment, so I’m commenting here not a bad day at all especially when you got into that new field, which I think definitely needs some more detecting as you’ve barely scratched the surface of it. Great video thanks for sharing. See you on the next one.👍🏼👊🏼
You had a much better day than I had last time I was out John. The fields around here are saturated, completely water logged. 🤷♂️
The first mystery object you found could possibly be some kind of strap end I think.
Amazing little pendant from the boys, I believe weekly, comic The Wizard . Two razor handles, the early one looks like a deluxe 1930s one my dad had a similar one, he was born in 1917. The Gibbs Dentifrice was still in use in the 1950s and even early 60s. along with the ponds day cream and a heavier one that was night cream. I wondered if the shaped metal had any sign of a broken catch that could mean it was a brooch. I was a bit concerned about the large heavy bronze looking cylinder as it seemed to have some lettering on the side have a look and a carful clean and maybe a cap at one end . Give it a very gentle clean to see. Handle it carefully. It may be some sort of ammunition and dangerous. Recently you have had a couple of things that you thought were from hat pins, It is also possible that they were from the top of knitting pins. Knitting needles. Hat pins were usually a bit more decorative.
Sound check…audio good 🎉
Thanks Becky!! Much appreciated
Happy Easter
Thanks Lee and to you
Here's what I found on the wee badge, there are 2 of them for sale on WorthPoint: Wizard comic free gift badge/pendant probably dating from the 1950/1960s-Secret Service Badge No 3, The Fifth Dagger, The Wizard comic was published between 1946-1963. That was a very cool Chinese coin, also has some value depending on the date/condition etc. Always good to see the Dynamic Duo!
3:35 possible Roman strap end?
The green triangular thing with the hole and skinny narrow piece is a Roman pull tab.
Yeast vite is still made today, its a mixtute of vitamins and minerals supposed to help you not feel so fatigued
At 31:04. One of a series of Secret Service Badges given out free with The Wizard Comic from the 1950s. The one you have found is badge number 3. I used to get The Wizard every week in the early 50s to early60s.
At 3.30 the spiked object with an eyelet looks like something that would be driven into wood or masonery to hang something from to me
Thanks Paul. I don’t think it’s old but still intriguing
It’s an arm off a clock I think
Aha! Thanks for the info!!!! Brilliant
John, I always turn my volume up one notch for your videos, even today. Test it yourself: play someone else's video, then yours, and compare volume levels. But it's not a big deal, just setting the level.
Hi John I can remember spending farthings in 1967!! (I was 8 and would get 2 Black Jacks for one!) They apparently stopped making them in 1956 and ceased to be legal tender in the UK December 1961!. Seems I had a very kind shopkeeper 😂. You should check your farthings online, some are valuable. Great hunt again, always love seeing Simon, yous are hilarious together. Chez
Tap was actually nice, maybe reuse
Great videos, could you tell me what spade you use please? Keep the videos coming, love watching them
