The location along the river is likely the reason for the European currency. I'd guess the river had travel options for those who weren't local.

I also like when you superimpose a clear coin image to see what the coin looked like.

I cannot watch other channels now haha you are so educational whenever I watch someone else and they don’t know anything about what they find annoys me haha thank you very much for keeping my need for knowledge appeased lmao

The figure ont the French coin is Marianne. She is "the national personification of the French Republic since the French Revolution, as a personification of liberty, equality, fraternity and reason, as well as a portrayal of the Goddess of Liberty." Only time I found coins from everywhere in France was on a military hospital site from WW1.

I like the new "fade in" to help us see the details on coins. And the Roman coin is a glorious find. It has been there for so long just waiting for someone to pick it up. Wouldn't that last owner of the coin be incredulous at what the world looks and acts like now?!?

The black coating on the coins is ferrous oxide deposition due to galvanic corrosion. When you put two different metals in moist soil, next to each other, they act like a battery. The coin is basically being electroplated by the iron in the soil. It makes a very good protective coating, especially for copper.

Hi John, great video as always. The object from The Great West Rd, Brentford was almost certainly a shaving soap stick holder from the Gilette Company. Pretty certain that it was built in the 1930’s.

Love a wee Roman in the Gloamin. Well done. ;-)

Very nice! Thank you for bringing us along! Edit: Prior to finding your channel I knew pretty much nothing about English and Scottish history. Thanks to your in depth discussion around some of your finds I now know a smidge and I really appreciate it. Very good stuff! Thanks!

The clasp, with the little glass rhinestones, looks a lot like one I found in my Great Aunt Margaret's sewing box that I inherited. Hers appeared to be gold tone over brass and I suspected it was from the 1920's, but it could have been older. So you were right it is about 100 years old. I think you call it a sash clasp.

Nothing better than having a video from Mr. Detectorist to watch while eating lunch 💪🏽

Oh wow, silver right away. Great start

The large brass object could be the top of a poker that had a square end iron rod inserted. The brass object with a person on is a horse brass. The top would have taken the strap. The Thing that had the catch and the inserted decoration is either a ladies or child's belt clip or the clip for a ladies bag. Another great day.

I like those tech skills with the superimposing of coins and I love the view from your house! Beautiful!

This is another great dig, even the "things" are interesting. So glad you got another Roman coin, we do have a shortage of Roman stuff here in Texas. Will look out for part 2. Cheers from Texas.

The 50 centimes is 83.5% silver. I think the French have some very pretty coins, and I love the fonts they used. Almost art deco.

Wow! What a day! What a field! It’s amazing what has come out of that field already and how you continue to find more and more. I look forward to part 2. Oh! I love the superimposition of what a coin would have looked like if not crusty. Thanks for doing that.

What a great video! I am sure I’m not the only one who is looking forward to Part II.

I love watching your videos, I have been detecting 46 years and have some brilliant permissions, I recognise most of your finds, but your knowledge of history, and coins and oratory skills makes tour channel the most interesting watch on you tube.

Thank you so much John, great finds and I love the bits of history you share with us🥰☺️

Great dig John, I love watching you find things in the fields. Congratulations on another Roman. I am looking forward to part 2!

Lucky coin from the year of my mother’s birth… I sure enjoy watching your videos. Glad you had such a good day. 🥰💕❤️👍

Watching your videos is an exercise in controlling my feelings of extreme envy. Do you understand how good you have it? There is no more than 150 years of history where I am, summer temps over 40 degrees C, and hard rocky ground. Throwing my hands up in exasperation.

Apparently the lady on the 50 centimes coin is sowing seeds. She's called La Semeuse (the sower).

I’m going with the spirit of the holiday season and say your diamond shaped button is Santa holding his bag of goodies! 😂 Loved the fade in/out of your silver Roman! I’ll be hiring you for all future technology editing projects 😂 see you on part two…

You make me laugh, "don't call me shirley"...lol. Love your channel.

Congrats John …what a dig that was .. pity you didn’t find two other denarius then you could have the title John Triple D MacEachen That would wipe the smile of Simon’s face ….😆

Hello from Ohio and thanks for sharing .I truly enjoy these Videos and the things you tell us about your finds !

Congrats on the Denari. Great guesswork on that bust. Loving the new coin graphics wizardry 👍

5:36 don't think it's oak, maybe laurel garland. LOVELY! Please make a page where we can view the likenesses, dates, etc, of coins you've found on your journey. You could publish a book just of coins! Another book just about your odd finds! You've got BBC appearance to catapult your career experiences! I'd buy a book from you, perhaps a mixture of your Detectorist story and your historical tours! I can hardly wait!

Wow, so much today, I loved them all!

Hi John I think the silver French coin features a female sewing seed.

Looking forward to it very much. 🎄👍💯💥✨️

🫢@16:50 Thanks John for doing that! That really helps to see what you see. The best channel ever!

No wonder you like that field! Great finds. I am still thinking about that lead St Andrews mold. I remember when I was in the army in Southern Germany and visited museums, they had beeswax impressions from wooden molds, I saw some beeswax impressions that were a couple of hundred years old. Being the Catholic part of Germany, I also saw little wooden pocket Saint's shrines that could be for travel or opened up in a house. Maybe that is the sort of thing was turned out at a church workshop for pilgrims to buy and carry. (Beeswax wouldn't last long in the part of the US I live in (too hot) but should do find in cooler climates like Scotland.

Can you do a follow up on items please

Das hat wie immer viel Spaß gemacht, danke fürs mitnehmen

Roman Silver! Simon will be spitting 😂😂😂

What a day! That fade in fade out is cool! 👍

I have watched only about 5 min of this video and I am hooked. Alot of the other metal detecting sites are just staging finds. They are just ridiculous. Great job to you Sir.

I think the jeweled metal could be a clasp to hold a fancy diary or bible closed...beautiful silver Roman also🍻🍻

Excellent stuff buddy. So glad you got the silver Roman, albeit blackened by the elements.! Looking forward to part 2. Bless 👊

Cat like reflexes with that pocket knife John 😂😂😂

A very enjoyable documentary. Congrats on the finds, technical advancements and the history lessons. Very cool😎

A very interesting and entertaining dig! Love the Roman silver!! That field is a treasture trove waiting to be found. I thought the hollow handle thing you found might be the grip of a riding crop. It probably is a handle of a tool. Congratulations! :D

Thanks John, looking forward to part two. Congrats on the Roman coin!

There's a heck of a lot of crustaceans running around that field. What type are they? Crabs or lobsters? Encrustation or concretion, but I know what you mean 😅

Not a bad first half john nice denarius there, look forward to the second half 👍.

Hi John, watching from California. Love your videos!

Man, this is such a fun channel. Love the history of the items you dig out of those fields. Now, we just need more long form Tour videos! Love your channels, John

Hi John, my first impression when I saw the square item with a figure on it was a standing bagpiper. Maybe a cufflink or lapel pin. I really enjoy your videos and my husband and daughter also follow you now. Thanks for your dedication and hard work. Dava

WhoooHooo. I’m so excited for you!

Enjoyed that video John (as usual). Looking forward to part II. 👍

What a fantastic view from your back garden. Love watching your videos, it's so exciting seeing what you will dig up next. The roman coin is amazing, and your history knowledge makes it really special 🙂

Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle, John is once again over the moon! With those finds I would be over Jupiter! Cheers!🎉

The object with the head is probably A horse decoration or head of fire companion set.

You’re absolutely smashing it John 👍👍

Great videos John. Amazing content. I literally look forward to getting home from work to watch when I get the alert of a new video alert.

Got a chuckle out of the Airplane reference! Great movie

Way to go John congratulations!

I really enjoy your videos. Especially the historical commentary.

The person on the french coin is a lady sower! Love your program, Francesca Amsterdam

I don’t know if it’s common in Scotland, but in England it was common for unneeded soldiers uniforms after a conscripted war to be ploughed into the fields. I found several “souvenirs” that would have been sewn into the tunic lining as lucky charms, keeping the soldier safe while enforcing the empire. That’s how I found an 1850’s Chinese coin in a field near York.

The field that just keeps on giving! Sweet finds John! That Roman was very surprising! Thank you for the history and the teaser…😁

The silver (83.5%) 50 centimes, minted in Paris, 48M examples. The lady sowing seeds on the obverse is La Semeuse. Rarest year for this design is 1897, only 88,000 minted.

CONGRATULATIONS awesome finds today 😊

Thanks for persisting with the tech visuals they're really helpful for getting your eye in. Great field and looking forward to more. Keep it up.

Fabulous John, thank you.

Lovely roman John 😊

Fantastic. Thanks. Again..

Great finds😊 good for you

Excellent video as always. Thank you.

Fabulous Roman coin!! How exciting!!!!😊

Great video, super roman coin. Cheers.

A nice collection of coins for just 1 dig, it leaves me forever envious of of the history in your area and the permissions you have John.

if part 2 is as good as one John then we are in for a real treat ,what a cracking Roman and lovely artifacts thanks again cheers

Amazing find. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!!!

Your Number 1 Alaskan Fan here! I'm loving all these mystery finds! Congratulations on yet another wonderful video!

Cool stuff John.

Brilliant what an eclectic mix

Nice finds and good determination ❤

Another cracking video, John. We love the way you share your knowledge of dates etc. Such an inspiration, mate. From another metal detectorist (Bexleyheath) who doesn’t know any land owners yet 😢. I’ll persevere😊

Hello John! Great hunt this time out! Your bust looks like George Washington, or a lookalike. Probably a medal that hung from a ribbon. Just guessing. Happy hunting!

Well John , what a day for you,... Great starting it was your finding day full of nice coins. I also think that roman coin is a A P , and it is always one amazing feeling every time we dig and find a denarius. Can't wait to see the 2nd part. Best regards mate.

Lots of targets today!!! This field just keep giving!!! Love it!🥰🥰🥰

Brilliant John, don't leave me hangin for part two for much longer! Love your knowledge and very professional videos, you have to be one of the best on KZfaq ( and I follow Gareth in Derbyshire! 😂 And he's brilliant too!) Much love to you, Mrs Scottish and the beautiful Jura. Have a fantastic Christmas and Hogmanay all the best for 2024. 😘😘😘Chez

you are defying science John, you are a silver magnet well done

great finds 😁

I think the grass 'plumbob' thingy' could be an early Sash window catch.

Wow I’ve said and thought it so many times before that your permissions are so rich in a variety of relics, artefacts and coins and so much more! It’s so interesting watching your videos and with the fantastic commentary you are by a long way the best detectorist on You tube - no disrespect to others but you just find so much and a possible Roman too!! Love the super imposed coins shot too. Sent you a Xmas thanks a few days ago for all your great videos - it might buy a couple of pints! 😂

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend. Great day…more ancient silver coins. Our weather seems to be very similar (Scotland and Tennessee). Last night we had frost, but during the daytime it warms up enough to be outside with a light sweater or sweatshirt. I prefer summer and lots of heat. It’s always a pleasure to watch you detect cool stuff.

Thanks John for another great video. We in New Zealand are supposed to be in our Summer, but we also are getting rain rain rain, and cold fire lighting weather. Sadly Climate change is really here to stay. I look forwards to your next adventure, Neville.

Great finds!! I'd love to detect with you one day.

Brilliant video again and do we ever not get rain😂😂 at least we get value for money from our waterproofs John

So Glad I found you! Brilliant Videos and ( like other commentators) love your knowledge of finds and your humour, ie '' It's another bloody button! - then apologize and say your not a bloody button at all " I'm new to detecting and learning so much. love the way you put a picture over your 'toasted coins' to show what it would have looked like! I havnt found a roman or hammered yet - one for the new year! found plenty of buttons though! Happy Christmas.

The overlay is fantastic. They really bring the coins to life.

Amazing find love your vids top man!

Your fantastic mate!

Another wet one but how exciting..can't wait for your next video....this is history coming alive..

Some amazing finds. Great video.
