“I’ve just picked up a rotten potato”…instant sub brother!😂

Hey John be proud of your bendy thumb. My aunt had two and I have one on my right hand. We are both descended from James Robb, a native of Perthshire who migrated to New South Wales in around 1830. Long live the bendy thumb!

Awesome John, when will you be posting a video of your collection? It has to be tremendous by now!

Correct on the bullet. Likely WWII era .50 BMG. Still in use today. Originally developed by John Moses Browning (USA) essentially as an anti tank round in WWI. It's a scaled up .30-06 rifle cartridge. Nice finds!

I think the thing at 39:00ish, made in England, is for tensioning the guy line for a tent.

The Sapphire and diamond cluster ring looks so much like one I lost whilst out walking years ago ( though several hundred miles away from your field so unless mine got picked up by a long distance travelling mole, not the same one)

I must say your little pokey tool has come in good today 😂

I’ve recently found a 5 stone 14 Karat gold ring in my local field and they turned out to be real diamonds. That sparkle is certainly promising.

I’m so glad I found your Chanel.Your knowledge of history is amazing.Even at 73 I have learned more from you than I ever did at school….

The black tip on the .50 cal Browning Machine Gun round indicates that it is an Armor Piercing projectile (AP). The Brass/Casing on the .50 BMG is impressive as well, if you find one. like sjohnson said.

Oh if I only had a wee hord of Oak nuts!!!🤣🤣🤣You are the real treasure in your videos!😻😻😻Love watching your finds from Arizona.

Congrats on the amazing find! Hopefully you take us along as your friend looks at the ring!

The bullit is a .50 calliber Ww2 anti thank bullits fired from airplanes. I think the black top meens armer piercing. We find a lot of them here in holland....👍👍

SPRATTS was the first large scale dog biscuit manufacturer based in London. Dated from 1870. Wonder if the tag came from a large box that ended up at the farm being used as something else like storage and then gradually fell apart?

lovely ring well done

I'll wager the ring is silver and the stones are real. You're spot on about watch winder date. Philippe Patek patented the stem winder in the 1850's. That is what established the name. Made the watch key obsolete. Always interesting. Thanks. Cheers.

LAPUA is from Finland, great show, cheers!

Sparkling little find mate, keep us updated!

The lead Palm thingy ....The notch looks like a bullet hole with the lead pushed out on one side. well done on the ring Looks real enough to me

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from the beautiful hills of Tennessee. That looks like a lovely sapphire ring. Sweet.

Well done great veiwing you are a diamond😅

Nice daytime hunt and interesting finds. The ring is a nice surprise

I love history and enjoy your commentary as well as your finds.

This was probably the most entertaining video so far! I giggled more than was probably warranted, but I thank you for it none the less!

Looks like a real gem to me! Possibly sapphire - I’d expect a softer stone to be much more scratched up. Looking forward to an update 🤩

the bullet is 50 cal more than likey fired from a Browning M2

Nice little mid 19th century stem watch winder, John. Those type of watches were commercialised by Patek Philippe & Co in the 1850s. Patek Philippe still make expensive watches. 🙂 Sweet little silver ring too. Might be a little engagement ring. Somebody was sorry to lose it.

Hello from huntsville Alabama the rocket city I enjoy watching your videos very much.. Thanks for bring use along.

Been windy here too in the central United States. I found a 3 pound rooster this morning inside a pint fruit jar. Lol. Good hunt John

OH MY GOD!😂

12:46 I love these tokens/seals you find you must have a collection of them now mate! They are beautiful

I am of Scott descent and have the same bendee thumb, not as much but noticeable. 😅

Wow, that ring sure does sparkle. Lots of great finds today. The microphone did really well with the wind very impressive.

So you were teasing after the last video!!!😂😂Excellent stuff my friend.👏👏👏👏

Well it certainly looks like you are back in the saddle again, great finds on a windy cold day. You are rugged fellow! Love your videos, Happy Sunday! 🥰💕❤️👍

Lovely find! Spratt's was a pet food factory in London for a long time..... now turned into posh flats. By the way, I have 2 extremely bendy thumbs, I've never seen anyone else with thumbs like me, we might be related 😂😂 Don't try to point the way to someone though you'll send them the wrong way 😂

Soooo Brilliant 💥💥 love the Ring 💙💙✌️✌️🇬🇧🇺🇸

Nicely done assortment of finds, can’t wait to see how the ring turns out to be. 🇺🇸

Good day, John! Another chilly day on the hunt, with a range of finds that kept you going strong! I did the river here, fossil hunting. We would like to see your collection ,but I know you have been collecting a looong time, so I suggest picking one type of item and showing us your display, soring, and labelling approach to it. Have you ever tried using acrylic bead display cases (9.5" bead storage case with jars by bead landing) for smalls? I love them for small fossil sharks and other small finds. Some sorted into jars, some bigger around the jars. It looks great hanging on the wall, shows things off. I also use it for marble collections, putting really nice ones in the little jars, and having the rest loose arnd them. Wish they made it thicker, only for relics slightly less than an inch thick. But super clear, displays great, and easy to take things out to look more closely. Have a great day

21.4 K .!!! Go John.! Looking forward to this 👍

Great finds, keep up the great vids.

Hey John. 43:19 Spratts did animal food since 1860 and the founder was a gentleman called James Spratt. They are still going I think as it says 163 years 😮. I hope this helps. Great day again my friend 🤗👍

thanks john for another great video its a chain link

Great finds & great accent (two for one)

First two targets are bullets. .22 and .75 :) The ring is quite an old fashioned setting. Seems to me likely to be a real stone with some small diamonds .

Well put together video and i like the ring. Good hunt and see you on the next bro

good day!

Tremendous video as always, good to see you back on the good stuff.

Incredible video mate up your way looks amazing for finds good luck on future digs 👍

I hope the ring turns out to be a great treasure! Lovely and very enjoyable video as always. Thank you.

Amazing day! It just comes to show that on some days you can win ‘m all. A very nice piece of jewellery. Well done. The setting of the stones make me believe this is no cheap ring John. I think it’s Nessy living under that concrete slab in Perthshire. I mean they’ve cleared the loch so many times now and it wasn’t there. I guess it moved to Perth. I wouldn’t dare to make fun of the bendy thumb. It’s a deadly weapon on the right hand. Over here I’m sure we’ll be needing a permit for carrying that thing around. No gloves allowed, that’ll be concealed carrying.

Well in 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Enjoyed this dig very much, loved the ring what ever it’s made of, so pretty. The light box is a great idea too.

The sparkle tells me real xxxx

What a great field 😎✌🏻 more to follow I’m sure 👌🏻. Great work John.

Cool

39:41 Tent guy rope tensioner.

Spratts London were a major dog biscuit manufacturer in 19thC, ring looks late 20thC maybe the 80's

Very great digs again! Keep us updated on what your friend might tell you about the pretty ring, please. 😊 I think, aside from sapphire, the stone could also be blue topaz if it's real. Haha, and thanks for explaining why you keep mentioning the "bendy thumb". I thought, bending thumbs like that was normal, because mine do it, too. 😅 And I think, "oak nuts" is an adorable way to refer to acorns. I did grin, when you said that some videos back. 😉

Amazing finds today! I can see why you keep going. 😊

Congratulations dear John! Enjoyed your finds nearly as much as you did 🙂 Can't wait to get updated about the ring 😘

Well that field gave up some intriguing finds, what an interesting day. I hope the ring turns out to be valuable!

Get your hands in 😂 some nice finds again

What a beautiful find!! Looks pretty real to me!🥰🤸‍♂️🇨🇦

Interesting finds. Seems like a great field. Thank you.

Sapphire and Diamonds…. Silver or white Gold The Y hook thing could be a picture rail hook for Pictures or Photos

Great hunt John,and what a stunning little ring,you are certainly blessed to have so much good land to hunt on.keep them coming pal 💪💪💪💪

I’m leaving for St Andrews on Monday 15th May. So excited to be back in beautiful Scotland again. So enjoy seeing all your amazing finds

Always nice to find a ring ! You will have to go back to this field again !

I’ve got those same bendy thumbs. I’m always self-conscious when giving a “thumbs up”, as it looks like I’m pointing backwards! 😆

Beautiful ring!!! Well done

Great sound quality and picture focus as always. Two bendy thumbs up 👍👍

Lovely Ring John Great video again 21.7 Woooohoooo🤩

Wow, what amazing finds. So interesting, well done 😊

Great video John. You sounded very excited to have found the ring. 👍🏻👍🏻

John the last one looks like a chain link .

Wow great finds……I thought I had history here in Penn. what a dream to be on the same location as these people from history! Happy hunting!

Your 'in the field' historical knowledge and ID skills are hugely impressive and add value to your already engaging videos. Bravo.

Fantastic finds John...That ring, I wonder who it belonged to. Maybe a tattie farmer, on the way to propose to his lass. Mòran taing!

I think my arthritic knees would prevent me from taking up metal detecting, but this channel is almost as good as the real thing. Keep up the excellent work!

i really don’t know how I stumbled across your blog a couple of months ago but I am really glad I did as it has become one of my favorite to watch. I have learned a lot about Scottish history from you. Thanks from California

The last find looked like a tent guy rope adjuster.

Wow what amazing finds! I hope that rings turns out to be platinum, diamond and sapphire! I would have never known that piece of lead was a palm guard. Also, I didn't know those tiny 5p's went back as far as 1991! I feel very old now lol.

Great finds.

The only jeweler i know is my wife and she would love a find like that. 😀

Large copper projectile = .50 BMG cal ; standard armourment on almost all U.S aircraft through WW2 later fitted to RAF aircraft in WW2. Manufactured with numerous types of war head, eg tracer, armour piercing etc. Made in england aluminium looks like tent rope or tarp cord length adjuster. Keep up the good work 👍

Another great video as always John can't wait for an update on the ring that looks like an unbelievable find well saved 👏🏻 the last dig was a link from a chain possibly off farm machinery or a quad/motorbike. Lots of good digs today tho thanks for sharing mate 👍🏻

Nice one John!

I found the exact same Victoria coin this week here in Denmark

At the very end you had a 2 holed bracket. That was indeed from farm equipment. It's a side link to a chain. Many farm implements are chain driven, especially haying equipment. It's common to have chain breaks in the field. Love your channel!

John, I was hoping to see the triangular Y shaped piece of metal, it was very intriguing. Taikuu again and on to the next.

Wow that wind was really something to blow away your detector 😂 Love the little ring. It does appear to be genuine stones. Keep us posted! And Happy Belated Birthday 🥳 🎉

Your full of knowledge m8👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 your videos are cracking love the ring would make my heart beat aswell lol👍

I think the little tag was from sprats ltd patent London. They made dog biscuits. The factory is still standing but it is now flats

LOL !! "its actually blowing away"

The highs and lows of metal detecting! What an exciting find. When I was a very young child, I am not sure why or how I was playing with my Dad's ring outside our house (not sure if it was his wedding ring) I often wonder if it could be found by a Detectorist....or imagine going back myself with a metal detector and finding it myself...

The notch on the palm guard looks like it could have fitted around the base of a finger to give it a bit more stability...just a cockeyed guess..🙂🙃🙂

Well done J, some nice finds there l'm looking forward to the update on the ring ie Sapphire, Garnet???

Another great day of interesting finds! Especially intrigued by your pretty little ring… please let us know more about it when you can! Also, loved learning about palm guards…such a practical, simple and ingenious bit of history. Oh, I did a quick google on Spratt’s Patent LTD and it was apparently a very successful Dog Biscuit company established in 1860.

Great video.
