Silver sleeve button c1700s. The crowned hearts are a device associated with the marriage of Charles II and Catherine of Braganza in 1662. One is in the British Museum.

I nearly sprayed coffee over the PC "and if you don't like the video, just hit the dislike button twice to make sure it registers." 😂😂😂You said it with such a straight face John! Brilliant!👍😂

'The fields of Perthshire' should be on a t-shirt!

Hail-up people! I can’t believe that 70% of you who are watching this incredible channel are not subscribers. This is THE BEST metal detecting channel on KZfaq. You know it, because you’re looking at it. The exciting finds, the history! It costs nothing and he doesn’t send you any promotional material. This is a shout-out from the Caribbean to hit the Subscribe button (at the bottom right corner of the video when it is minimized in case you’re not sure where)

John, at the rate you and your friends are turning up amazing finds, the National Museum of Scotland will need a dedicated display cabinet for the Scottish Detectorists channel.😂 Well done, wishing you continued luck (and obviously good research) in the future.

A button better than a coin😵‍💫 a rare thing indeed! Congrats you've found a real British Museum quality treasure 🥰

Well John what can I say …what a amazing find the sleeve button is … absolutely fabulous… I’m guessing your still buzzing with the excitement even now .. top notch find 🤙🏻

Thank you for the Historic finds in the Fields of Perthshire. Happy to know I'm part of the 30 percent.

What an amazing button! Highly recommend that new subscribers and viewers go back and watch past videos! Loads of other interesting finds and history! Thanks!

The best detecting channel on KZfaq. Not only do you film the digs but your knowledge is brilliant.

"Tap it twice to be sure." 😂 🤣😂

The silver cuff button is a gem! Precious indeed! Your description gave me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your finds with us. 💜🙏

21:55 you did say Marty was dropping in!😂😂

I love that silver button. It's very pretty!

Thanks for your videos and accompanying history lessons. It’s a little sad that during my schooling, I didn’t care for learning history or mathematics for that matter. Now I’m like a sponge…a little damp and a bit smelly but still absorbing what I can!

Well done! An amazing button find. Who would have thought we all would be excited about a button!

David Balfour must have dropped one of Alan Breck’s silver buttons! ❤Great find!

John, I'm so very happy to see you having such success, both in the "Fields of Perthshire" and on the internet! Over 27K subscribers!! Congratulations and continued success! I cant wait to hear the update on the reaction of the National Museum of Scotland when they see that beautiful button. Please keep up the excellent work.

The King and Queen of hearts😜

A few hours in a beautiful Scottish field… heaven 🌟

The small eyelet is obviously a stirrup from a Leprechaun's pony. Cheers

I am subscribed to your channel and really enjoy it, I have watched you earlier videos nearly all of hem by now but have a few left. Now to a point I think might help you remember all you stuff. I'm 65 and have detected from the 1970's till my detector was stolen just after I became disabled about 9 years ago along with my stuff. It's all good because everywhere close enough to detect has be either detected to death or turned into buildings. Here is my hopeful help for you, back in 1994 I picked up a leather carpenters apron with two large nail pouches a hammer holder a couple of pencil holders, a speed square holder and tape measure holder. I attached two flaps and used magnetic seals to hold the flaps down to hold my finds. One held junk the other held good finds, I attached my pin pointer to the hammer holder via recoil cord, used my pencil holders for small things like your picker and toothbrush the speed square holder held my water bottle via recoil cord and the tape measure holder is great for a small digging scoop. You might look one of those carpenter belts up and invest in it and keep it with your detector.. just trying to help a very good fellow metal detector. Keep up the great shows.

Spectacular. Definitely national significance. Well done Jock.

Pretty amazing John! Tell us what the property owner thought about it. That must have been fun to show him! Let us know what the professionals say about it. On to the next!

Yep…I saw some letters on the backside of that tiny silver button. It’s a button from my leather waste coat…yep. Blessings my Scottish Detectorist friend.

Were there actually any Mary Queen of Scots coins made? Her times on and off the Scottish throne were so unsettled that maybe there wasn't time to mint any coins?

Wowzer! That silver button is truly magnificent. ❤❤ I can’t wait to see what you’ll find next time!

I think the general assumption for the origin of the cufflink/buttons is that they were given to select attendees of the wedding as gifts to commemorate the union. Probably given beforehand to be worn on the day. Various sizes might be men's/women's/children's versions, or there might have been a set of varying sizes for different positions? The dispersal of them would indicate something along those lines.

I'm so jealous of your finds. I live in Western part of the US and I've never found anything older than around 1880. Love your videos and the history lessons you give!

.that button ,what a find John well done

Good good finds…..cheers from Mississippi 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

I found information on the button with the crown and two hearts here it is verbatim: This silver cufflink from our archaeology collections is officially classed as Treasure and dates around 1650-1714. It features a single crown with two hearts on each side. It's believed the design commemorates the 1662 marriage of King Charles II to Catherine of Braganza

On sleeves there are commonly 2 buttons. The larger of the two closes the wrist or wristband, and I've always just heard it called simply the wristband button. The other, and much smaller button, is usually about 4" from the edge of the sleeve, and it carries the rather elegant name of a *GAUNTLET BUTTON,"* a name I've always loved; _SUCH_ a sense of pageantry that term conveys! I do believe, *Dear Sir,* that you have found yourself *a commemorative, silver, mid-seventeenth century, GAUNTLET BUTTON --- **_HUZZAH!_*

🤩🤩🤩 Cool button!

Thank you, excellent button find.

The amazing finds of the junk would make excellent jewelry 😊

Been watching u for while now.Your show is one of my favorite to watch.Keep up the great finds.And see u on the next show.

The small button is a beauty!thanks for sharing!

I just want to thank you for inspiring me to do something , I’m terminally I’ll with cancer and at a loss , but after watching the Scottish Detectorists videos, I’ve been inspired to get a machine and start detecting , haven’t a clue what I’m doing at all but I’m going to learn and enjoy, even if it’s just for the exercise. Alan Rudd

Thanks John. What an absolutely beautiful find the button was.

What an amazing silver button a tremendous find congratulations.

Congrats on finding the silver Button and letting us know it's historical importance, brilliant find on otherwise a quiet day.

Hello from Perth. Australia 🇦🇺 Have to close my eyes as you dig …dizzy…. 🎉congratulations

Good morning John! It’s a “bendy”thumb up from me!🇨🇦

Amazing button !

That button with the hearts is brilliant! It’s amazing that you can find such tiny treasures.

Great hunt, wow what a beautiful button, nicely done. 🇺🇸

Hello John. That is one lovely button. Very much enjoyed. Catching up with my subscriptions and a little behind. A wee bit cheeky of me but thought I'd push my luck. Crossed my mind a few times actually. I'll be up seeing the family around August and thought to myself. How great would it be to spend a day as a guest detectorist with John and the guys up in Perthshire? Just a thought but a good one at that. For me anyway 😄If you'd have me, It'd be an honour. I went there on a stag a few years ago and loved it. Beautiful wee pub on a cobbled street I remember. We went white water rafting and canyoning as the main events. Anyway, have a think about it. I've no permissions in Scotland is all and It'd be pretty cool. If not possible, not a problem buddy 😉

Lovely commutative button / cufflink! I’ve just had one sent off to the treasure process (full cufflink! )

Quote, never under estimate the common button , Terry of the DMDC. what a nice find.

Just found article about your sleeve button online. Yours is in much better shape, whole and detailed, with shank included. Article from The Finds Research Group, I believe.

Wow, what an amazing find from my favourite historical time.. just to think of the dashing cavalier who wore that..

Nice one buddy. Always makes for great watching. The crowned hearts is one I knew, so glad you managed to find the info. What an amazing thing the Internet is.! Great stuff. Bless up 👊

A Charles II silver sleeve button... circa 1670....on googling looks the same. Great find ...

John , the wee loop thing you keep finding, are for running wires to support fruit bushes .

Great find John. The ring thing is like some shelf hangers that I have out of an old glass cabinet. They fit into holes to support shelves. Great videos.

Awesome button!!!

Great stuff…I used to detect in east Lothian around 45 years ago when detectors were "all manual" before I moved to Australia, it was a lot of fun as a young laddie. Most of the stuff I found I was not able to identify as there was no internet or finds officers to ask….I spent a long time in the local library trying to I’d the loot. Id have killed for a detector like yours pal, all the best.

Cool find - I hope the British Museum acquires the one you found here!

That wee button is a awesome find. Love the history you share once you dig these items up!

what a jewel of a button, absolutely delightful. A great end to a quiet dig. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

what a great find

Your silver button john is a commerative one for charles II's wedding. As below... " Charles II silver sleeve button decorated with two hearts below a crown, circa 1670 . Price: This design is associated with the marriage of Charles II (1630-1685) and Catherine of Braganza (1638-1705) in 1662." **EDIT** I shoulda waited for the light box. We've been reading the same article 😉 😂 well saved mate!

Beautiful cuff botton John! Amazing how silver comes out of the ground... unmistakable.

I found one exactly the same today could not believe it when one popped up on the screen that you had found lol

I bought the tools from les,would not be without now.😊

Hi John. re your little button, one identical to yours sold at auction, there description, A silver button or cufflink the face with a crown over two hearts joined to the back with a plain spindle, the back is domed and plain but for the maker's initials TA. Diameter 1.5cm. This motif is often ascribed to the commemoration of the marriage of Charles II and Catherine of Braganza in 1662. Thanks for shoutout.

😆 Dam I should have watched your video til the end.Great find .

Great find John, you deserve it.👍

WOW. That is once incredible little find

Another great find John, definitely one for the FLO. Keep up the great finds.

Well that certainly makes up for all your hard graft and aluminium cans from those fields. Fantastic find.

Oh I’m delighted for you well done

So not a great day finds wise.....but then a great day finds wise!!!!😂😂Wonderful stuff John.👏👏👏

Yea, a gorgeous George, Slainte

john what are the odds on finding such a very rare piece of history? Congratulations ,enjoy watching your channel.Regards from Florida.

Complimenti, il bottone e bellissimo! Metal detector Franca Umbria Italia

It never ceases to strike me silly when you find copper, brass, aluminum, bronze, or lead, and call it junk. One Scotsman's junk after all is another pirate's treasure! LOL 😯 🏴‍☠

john, love the history stories as you dig. how blessed you are to actually hold history in your hands. thank you

Wow, absolutely incredible find!

Gratulation to the Button. 😅 real great find👍 and respekt for the recherche.

Yay, another video...watching again "The fields of Perthshire" from NZ

At the 2:23 mark, I never thought of using a denture toothbrush to clean off any finds. Nice suggestion.

If theres a way to make a poor days detecting outstanding, thats the way to do it! congratulations on a rare and excellent find! Cheers John!

A beautiful little silver treasure. I'm glad you rescued it.

Interesting fact for George V. His wife’s name was actually May, not Mary. They made her change it for some reason. She was Princess May of Teck.

And you said pretty nice when you found it! Wow. Thanks for sharing.

The button is a great find, and I hope you give us an update if you find any more info on it. Best detecting videos on youtube by far. Cheers from San Angelo, Texas.

Wow what an amazing find! Such a tiny item with a great history, nice one John!

At the 2:23 mark, I never thought of using a denture toothbrush to clean off any finds. Nice suggestion. At the 17:00 mark, a button of the crowned heart motif is believed to have originally been produced to commemorate the marriage of Charles II to Catherine of Braganza in 1662.

That little button is why we keep digging. Congratulations Sir!!!!!

Stupendous find👏🏻

What an incredible find! Many congrats :)

The button is an amazing find! Fabulous history from the UK to the USA!

Amazing find!

That button is gorgeous!!! 💜 Can’t wait to learn more.

Wow! Well done John. Congratulations 🎉much love chez 😘

A Charles II silver sleeve button decorated with two hearts below a crown, circa 1670

Silver sleeve button is something else, completely rare to find with crowned hearts design association the 1662 marriage of Charles II and Catherine of Braganza. Not aware of this history so nice to know. I am from Virginia along SE coast and thanks for knowledge of that button find among Colonial America soil. Many silver Great Britain coins have been found in Virginia and North Carolina , I found a silver sixpence in Currituck County walking thru a farm field. Rare silver sleeve button not something a commoner would have, pretty much royalty?

WOW! That’s all I can say. Keep it up John; you’re on a roll!
