Hi Guys...I watched Albert's moment of discovery and knew it would rock the archaeological world! ... By coincidence I was in a PAS training session on La Tene period zoomorphic art last week. The speaker began by giving examples of 'bulls' in early Iron Age art culture; So I tried to post a comment about your find, but someone else beat me to it... When a photo of the bull was shared, everyone (pretty much all of England's FLO's and senior archaeologists) appeared awestruck...An expletif was issued... and then the speaker declared Albert's find potentially the best example of a La Tene period bull ever discovered in the UK! Well done Albert and what a good friend you are John. It was epic to share the moment a find of potential International importance was made...and for me, to experience the reaction of our leading archaeologists when they first saw it!

As an American, I get so jealous at the amazing finds that I see detectorists in Europe dig up. When we find things from the 17th, 18th, or 19th centuries we are amazed. It reminds me of a saying I heard that goes, Do you know the biggest differences between Europeans and Americans? Europeans think 320 Kilometers is a long distance, and Americans think 200 years is a long time. Such a beautiful piece of Scottish history going where it belongs to be enjoyed for many years.

Many thanks Kelley, my pleasure and thanks for watching What a find, the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen found in 23 years of detecting. It is pre-Roman ie before 43AD then it’s going to be one of only a handful of Celtic ‘Scottish’ Iron Age finds from Scotland of such high quality and preservation. It’s an internationally significant find. We were out on the field yesterday with the hoard detector and got two deep signals within ten metres of the find spot!!! Problem is the ground if frozen solid like concrete 😢…. Roll on the milder weather!!! Can’t wait 😛

Wonderful follow-up! I appreciate how you manage to shoot videos that are full of great content whist at the same time keeping things relatively private and anonymous. The full experience of speaking to the experts at the museum was cleverly captured by keeping the camera focused entirely on the finds and the process of investigation with the experts. Gives a real world taste of the process, thank you! The find is indeed amazing in its quality of construction and preservation. Good to know that it will eventually be available to the public to enjoy if it is confirmed as treasure, which I’m sure it will be given its beauty. Thank you for bringing us all along on this journey! ❤

It speaks so highly of your characters that you submitted it. I'm sure many would be tempted to keep that for themselves. If ever the owners of the medieval fort property wondered whether they had an upstanding detectorist, this is all the proof they'll ever need.

How much fun was THIS to hear what the experts had to say!! And thanks for showing the displays of silver and gold items from ancient times in Scotland. When we went to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, we got extra tickets to see the diamond room and gold room. The gold room had incredible displays of gold coins and jewelry from ancient times in Russia, from all over, east to western Russia. These sorts of displays are always interesting. Having taken a basic college course on silverworking, to see that one large bowl with the deep flutes all around it, gives you an idea of the skills and knowledge these early civilization artisans had, and how precious their skills would have been. Well done, Albert! the head of that Roman trumpet and the artifact Albert found look VERY similar.

But it's already an absolute treasure! Also, thanks for filming some of the awesome things in that museum. I love ancient history, and getting a glimpse of what's displayed there in Scotland is awesome. ☺

This is so amazing! I got a little emotional for you when they were talking about the ox/bull head! It's such a stunning find and hearing the professionals discuss them with such revery is just a detectorists dream. Thank you for filming this and posting it ro share with us all as we follow along with you on this journey. As an American my envy of even your most mundane finds is high but the ox/bull head is off the charts. Fantastic job researching your sites really!

Welcome to the channel and Many thanks What a find, the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen found in 23 years of detecting. It is pre-Roman ie before 43AD then it’s going to be one of only a handful of Celtic ‘Scottish’ Iron Age finds from Scotland of such high quality and preservation. It’s an internationally significant find. We were out on the field yesterday with the hoard detector and got two deep signals within ten metres of the find spot!!! Problem is the ground if frozen solid like concrete 😢…. Roll on the milder weather!!! Can’t wait 😛

Hi S D, I can’t help but think that the interlocking horns where they culminate in a ball has a use for securing a leather belt rather like a modern day belt which has several holes for adjustment. Great vid and wish you the very best of good fortune.

It was so exciting and I shared your videos with my family members, who were also amazed. It helps history to come alive! I also really enjoyed your tour of other artifacts in the museum, much appreciated.

How amazing! Congratulations from Michigan, USA. I enjoy your videos because I've always been interested in archeology/history and there is no historic metal to be found here. However, I did find a knapped stone scraper that Native Americans used to scrape hides. We are planning a trip to Scotland. The National Museum in Edinburgh is on the list. Happy hunting!
