I think the hammered coin is John. The reverse is the mint of Durham and the moneyer is Pieres. It's a very nice coin for the type. They kept the same design and name of Henry II because the coins of Henry were know throughout the UK and Europe as trusted good silver. They wanted to maintain the appearance of quality.

Being out-staged by your apprentice. Your pure excitement and happiness towards your “students” finds speaks to the person you are. 👏🤩

Congratulations to Martin on his first silver coin! Thanks John, always a pleasure.

Congrats Marty on the fantastic hammered coin!

Always amazed that a coin can be lost for 800 years without being destroyed by farming activities. Plus, it was in a field that had been detected many times before. That is why I keep tuning in. Great job, Martin and John.

That item after the muffler is a shire horse bell hanger I believe. My friend found a complete one in wales and I found all the bells that were attached to it 👍🏻

That hammered coin is unbelievable 😮 🤩 it’s like the day it was made.

Lovely coin for Martin, you are so genuine in the excitement you have when your companions make great finds.😊😊

What a beautiful day! Congratulations to Martyn! So many awesome finds on the field that keeps on giving. Well done John. Not only on the finds but for the 40k as well. Keep detecting and I will keep watching and learning…😊

To my mind, John, the most exciting find of the day was the decorated silver strip. I'm pretty sure it's a small Viking decorated broad-band silver arm ring. They were used for currency around 800 to 900 AD in areas where coinage wasn't circulating. I was with the finder of the Galloway hoard on the amazing day when we found the hoard so know them well. Well done to Martin! But a lovely coin too!

Congrats on 3 years, and congrats to Martyn on the amazing hammered!

Happy Sunday! Waking up to you and Martin on the fields of Perthshire. Many of the coins in that field were beauties, but Martin’s silver coin was amazing. 🥰💕❤️👍👍

The round thing copper and porcelain could come from an old Light switch. Inner part of the turning switch

Wow, good job Marty! Thanks for a great video John 😊

I appreciate how you grant your friends their great finds! It's really awesome of you. I could listen to your history stories all day!

Gorgeous halo around the sun, we call that a sun dog here in Michigan. Always great to share in your adventures, and learning some history too!

I found a St Christopher pendant today 9ct gold

Wow congratulations Martin!!! What a find!!. Being from California I'm thrilled when you all find something from the 1800s and then you find something that was around in the 1200s!!!! So cool!!!🎉🎉

That is a very nice coin that Martin found. A good number of coins found.

well done to Martyn thats a cracking silver hammered ,another great video John thanks again cheers

Love the Vesta case! Never seen one before. That's why I love your channel... always learning!! 🥰🥰🥰

Great video with awesome finds and congratulations to Martin for his first silver. You are such a great person . Keep up the great work.

Well done Martin! Amazing coin! Well done gentlemen, how exciting for you both. Looking forward to your next dig!❤❤

Good Job Both and congratulation Martin. That was great bunch of finds guys Thanks for sharing.

At 11:30 ..... part#102 ..... would have had a spring, providing pressure to keep the cap held down over a filler tube....oil, hydraulic fluid, trans fluid etc Always enjoy your channel. Thanks

Congrats to Martin. You may well have found a cannon ball that possibly has one side flattened from impact. Cheers from New Orleans

Well done finding that coin Martin. Stunning condition 👏

What an incredible day u 2 had. Congrats to Martin of a great silver coin

What a well struck Hammered coin really good condition, well done Martin! The cannon ball is pretty awesome also.

Nicely done guys, I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸

Wow, Martin, very nicely done too. What a special find.

Martin's silver is Henry Ii, 1154 - 89, short cross penny. Well done !

Congratulations Marty! What a beautiful coin. John…I have a soft spot for owls. Of course that would have been my find of the day, even over a silver.

Congratulations on 3 years, and may you have many more to come!

Thank You John!

Thank you for showing us how the coin would look.

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Definitely medieval. A great field. That round thing with the ceramic inserts is part of an antikythera machine, from the ancient city of Atlantis. Yep…I recognize it…sure thing. Lots of awesome coins.

Nice finds boys! It's nice to put a face on Mysterious Martin!

It would be so awesome to make such a find. Great for Marty. The other finds were very interesting as well, and a great outing even without the hammered coin. Cheers from Texas.

You're currently at 40.4K subscribers! Good things happen to good people. Congrats on your 3 yrs on KZfaq! Love, love, love that vesta case!

Congrats to Martin! Fabulous find! If I was younger, I'd MOVE to Scotland! Good luck out there. Great vid!

John gets as excited about his friends finding coins as when he finds them himself 😊

Great finds ,COOL cannonball and match box😮😊

Great video again John and well done Martin. Superb hammered .... Full flan too! Looks like either a Henry III or a King John to me, but I'm no expert

Excellent Find Martin ! Congratulations, Sir. John, Very Nice work on the vids. I really appreciate the 'overlay' on the illegible coins. I think I like Your method better than the side by side comparisons.

Excellent work guys! Beautiful coin. Thanks John.

What a fantastic permission that is! Brilliant finds on there and yes that Vesta case is great to find but wow well done Marti! Perfect little hammered of either John or Henry 2nd? Letters are a bit different than the half John I found a few weeks ago but if they didn’t change into Henry, or minted in a different place, then it could be either? 🎉👏👏

Amazing coin. Congrats to Martin!

What a splendid day for Martin!!! And thrilling for us watchers. Good job to you both...we enjoyed along with you!

Love all your vids some very nice finds to, Have you had a go metal detecting around the edge of a farmers field some good finds on the last row paul

Love the watch key. I have an identical one that I bought to match my great grandfather’s watch that dates from about the 1870s. On the topic of watches, when you find quintessential Victorian silver ones, you should look for the strike mark of the dancing bears facing each other inside the back case.That is indicative of silver that was assayed and confirmed in Switzerland. What is more, to protect UK watchmakers in latter Victorian times, there was an import tariff against imported pocket watches. However, it only applied to complete articles. Thus, the sneaky Swiss created the so-called “parts watch” that was imported into the UK disassembled. All the British watchmakers had to do was put it together, and then sell it off at a competitive price. To sweeten the deal further, the Swiss would brand the face of the watch with the name of the British watchmaker. They would also provide the watchmaker with keys like the one you found, with the business address on one side, and some sort of promo blurb on the other. PS, my great grandfather’s watch was bought when he was based in London as an ensign with the 3rd. Regiment of Foot. My grandfather (his second son) used it around the era of WW1 when working in the shipbuilding industry along the Clyde, as he was then the spare (and not the heir). He was put to labor as an apprentice manager at one of the yards, with his first job being a riveter’s mate (swinging a hammer). That meant two things, firstly he developed massive forearms that were too big for a a wristwatch. It also meant he was in a reserved occupation in WW1.

Congrats on over 40k subscribers! 🎉

Awesome field! Congrats Martyn! I saw someone pull out a Wm the Conqueror last year. Amazing good condition.

Awesome finds today congratulations I love the Owl match holder thing....I collect Owls and though it was pretty cool 🦉

Such great finds! Your channel never disappoints.

Blimey,I had to sit down, thought I was with you both! Fantastic first silver hammered. Well done the both of you😁

Shortcross if I remember were only minted between 1180 and 1247 so that's some age,and looks as good as the day it was minted.cracking find 😍😍😍

Well done Martin

😮😮😵‍💫😵‍💫🤩🤩. That got me ooohing and aaahing. UN-BE-LIEVABLE!! Jeez Marty… Congratulations!!! Seems like George the third has contracted some skin problems from the Scottish soil John. The matchbox is a nice find too mister Mac. Give that man a cigar!

Awesome finds I think that may be a cannon ball so cool!

Hi John, what a great day. You and Martin work so well together. I'm pretty sure the pretty little "angel thing" with one wing broken, is a lamp finial. Used to hold the lamp shade on. They screw onto the top of the lamp harp and hold the shade tight. Great video ❤ Dava

Oh no John I will have to wait until Liverpool vs Man City is over. Looking forward to your amazing find.

Greetings from middle Georgia, USA 🍑🤍✌️. Yay, I always look forward to your videos John…thank you for all your hard work!congratulations on three years!!! And that hammered is absolutely gorgeous ♥️

Great history 👍🇦🇺

A great show as always John and it was a busy 3 hours for you I love the vesta and owl , what a shame it's crushed. Last but not least congratulations to Martin on his hammered silver a very interesting and entertaining video.

Congratulations Martin! Epic find

What a stunning early medieval hammered coin. I remember my first one being an Edward 1st and i had no idea just how old it was. It blew my mind to discover it was around 700-years old! You cant explain how precious it is to know its now yours and the fact you had the wherewithal to find it. Absolutely incredible find and one to treasure.

Congrats to you on 3 years on youtube and hooray for Martin for the awesome coin, how lucky!

Yet another fantastic video. Keep them coming!

Wow that first coin you found is awesome. The hammered coin Martin found, crazy old! That is exciting. Also love the owl decorated case you found. Great work

What an amazing coin !!!! I think the one mystery item is a rein guide.

Gratz Martin...stunning coin...some other interesting finds from both of you too. Well done on the 40k subs John. All the best to you both and HH.

Martin's coin is a John. I found one in Warwickshire when i visited last year. It was my first signal on a friends farm! We are luck to find early Victorias here in Australia! So something from 1205 (John reigned from 1195-1216) is very special! Cheers

Lovin' the variety and Martyn's coin - WOW

Thank you for a wonderful episode! Really fun to watch. Gratz to Martin!

Hi guys great video! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!

thank you

Congratulations to Martin and you both some lovely finds today. 👍

Congratulations to you guys on the subscribers and the sweet hammered silver 🎉❤ Keep the camera rolling 😊

Nice one Martyn! Great finds again lads. Someone defending or attacking the fort with canon balls?!

Loads of great finds for you both...Love Martin's coin, but love your match case and cannonball!!

Good job Martin. You guys had a good day❤❤

Thanks for the video.

Outstanding hammered

Amazing guys 💥👍

Congrats Martin that's an absolute beauty 👍

That was pretty awesome gotta go back to this field! ; )

Brilliant. What a couple of hours . Crowned, by that Hammered Coin.

Watching from Howell, Michigan USA. I find your site very interesting. Too cold and snowy here. Was hoping to use my new Xterra Pro but it will have to wait. Be well

Great find Martin

You didn't call Martin a jammy swine, but that hammered coin is outstanding. Well done Martin! My wife said that she doesn't understand why Martin would be camera shy, she said he'd very handsome. So he has a fan here in New Jersey! lol

Love the matchbox!
