This episode brought to you by… International Travel and Trade! 😂 Seriously though, days like this are my favourite!
Comment from : @LaurieLeeAnnie

I thought the French coin was an American quarter at first because the eagle on the back of each coin is similar Great day of detecting!
Comment from : @mikepetrucha2774

That was a hell of a dig I was intrigued with the deep lead Had 2 10 x 4 inch slabs flat 15 ft down , probably going to flo it

Lovely hunt John! Fantastic artifacts, and those two whopper coppers! Argentina and France…way cool
Comment from : @scottharding9916

Do you think there could have been a port or station of some sort on that field? The finds are so varied as if there were many people from different countries in the area Great video!

Still killing it John Look forward to meeting you in the motherland someday
Comment from : @Davidrcobb

What amazing finds! Congratulations! The washer looking thing at 24:00 must have something to do with the British military because that mark on the top is what's called the broad arrow Which is how the British military marks items that they own Everything from nails to washers to weapons, uniforms, canteens, mess tins, and even buildings!
Comment from : @micah06v8

The squirrel coin thing looks like a Russian coin
Comment from : @pennydyer8210

That bottle looks like a vintage aspirin bottle
Comment from : @pennydyer8210

The washer with the arro is military
Comment from : @Hans-GöranBerglund

You are so right John I dont detect to find gold and get rich i detect to be in touch with history Even when i find a simple old penny i wonder who dropped it Amazing video as always! Congrats on the views and you will hit 50k subscribers soon!😊😊
Comment from : @Leanne-juk05

What a fantastic day for your John and amazing finds You don’t need to find anything older with the variety you found Just waiting to see what the next hole gives up is the exciting bit and your fields always produce great stuff The foreign coins were great to see but for me that little silver brooch is beautiful 😍 The workers on that farm must have been sad to lose their money - half a dozen eggs less 😔 Thanks John and fingers crossed for a well deserved 50k Looking forward to seeing Simon next time 👍
Comment from : @psalinasMrsGhostie1

Well John, the consistency in this video is brilliant find after find and all really good conversation pieces and, your Squirrel token/coin could be Danish as the national emblem of Denmark is the Red Squirrel Congratulations on your new subs well done pal I really enjoyed it
Comment from : @ouzalghost8411

Comment from : @sallyschmitz8048

I'm so happy for you that your channel has been so successful What makes your videos special is that you know the history behind most of your finds and you explain their relationship to the history of the area I love seeing new videos pop up, and I wait until I have uninterrupted time to enjoy watching them, usually when I am having my dinner, or when I go to bed We all appreciate the effort and time you spend to bring us such high quality videos

My dad went out to Argentina after fighting in WW1 and spent around 15 to 18 years working on an estancia brMany Scots went to work as shepherds in Patagonia
Comment from : @annabelmacrae5256

Amazing finds! Very enjoyable watch
Comment from : @mikef6114

The circle with the hole and arrow looks like British WWII broad arrow printed on ordinance or mechanical material
Comment from : @barbaraslater6507

The LMS Railway insignia has the English Rose and Scottish thistle joined by a bow The thing in the middle above is a dragon’s wing, borrowed from the coat of arms of the City of London
Comment from : @davidmercer1576

One of your best vids! I enjoy your inclusion of your wonderings, they add much to the journey Massive find with the Argentina coin!
Comment from : @andreaj1460

Argentina has a sgnificant population of people with Scottish ancestry It has the largest Scottish diaspora outside of the English speaking world, with an estimated 100,000 people claiming Scottish heritage Scots played a key role in Argentina's development particularly in areas like trade, the railways and of course football, thanks to Alexander Watson Hutton (1853 - 1936)

Brilliant 💯
Comment from : @kaare65

2025 is certainly off to a great start for you!! Fab finds😍 Love the brooch, it's gorgeous!! The mark on the 'washer' looks very much like the British Broad Arrow mark used on military/government property back in the day - maybe its part of artillery or something? What an epic day!
Comment from : @tanithmessenger3581

Roman sniff heads 😂
Comment from : @rolansmith9951

That arrow on what I would say is a grommet off of canvas looks quite a lot like a broad arrow, used to show property of the crown They had it quite a bit on my forebears that they shipped out here to Van Dieman’s Land
Comment from : @stevebutton7066

What a great bunch of finds! Frozen ground here Dig some dirt for me

Brilliant video as always I had a Napoleon 3rd ten cent in a park in Swansea last week 😂😂
Comment from : @Monk3y3186

Comment from : @DeanCawthrow

Comment from : @felixmonteil9251

Ships trading all over the world a load to and a load back to Scotland from all over the world and men working on ships like going to bars to drink, need foreign money to buy a brew did returnbrwith coins from all over the world I grew up in Norfolk VA a port town and many ships landed there from overseas and ships returned from foreign ports we saw many foreign coinsbrcome to my father's bar sailors from Naval Base brought them in my father traded them for beers he had quite a collection The Royal Navy were in town too and headed there knowing heard he accepted money from all over they brought him UK coins older ones the large copper pennies and any silver he really wanted those

Thought of you yesterday with a wry smile as I dug up my first fork of the year 😊
Comment from : @colins1487

Checking on the republica Argentina dos centavos coin 1891 has highest mintages of series 1882 - 1896
Comment from : @jeffreylockhart8292

of all the south America coins have scant knowledge of any from Argentina what a find glad to see it first time for me
Comment from : @jeffreylockhart8292

The 1941 half penny sure has a beautiful tone and glow under the corrosion on surface but looks not very worn
Comment from : @jeffreylockhart8292

I'm wondering if the Argentina coin was potentially linked to the guano trade as that would have been used on the fields as fertiliser Probably a keepsake or something from a sailor or it ended up in a bag of guano or something
Comment from : @MetalDetectingSwansea

Epic day!

That little very stout bottle may be smelling salts?
Comment from : @jeffreylockhart8292

i wish i could afford to travel a d detect overseas but sadly the cost nowadays has been so over priced for detecting packages of place to stay and places to detect its become a rich mans hobby
Comment from : @beardednomadvanlife6363

I don't like being cold at all but can bundle up and get used to cold air and it is refreshing and it's tough being hot doing this and in any sun? Hard to deal with
Comment from : @jeffreylockhart8292

Excellent work John Great day to be out! Thank you sir
Comment from : @TedCallaway

Could all those silver round pieces be a part of the silver pin you found Could have it been a woman’s watch pin?
Comment from : @muddymetalers

Congratulations on 10 million views It’s because you’re a genuine and good man and very knowledgeable with history
Comment from : @AlbertD711

Absolutely right 😊 it's the history Love your show Hi from Texas, United States
Comment from : @virginiafox2119

I totally agree about why we metal detect In Australia, we don't get things that are ancient in your terms but I love what I find I also enjoy researching what I have found id necessary It all adds to our local history
Comment from : @helenbennett2845

Awesome video John your the best out there can't wait for the next one
Comment from : @lyleduncan1853

Hi John, your finds were amazing! The button design has the fruit representing London, the ship representing Midland, and the thistle representing Scotland It's something I realized as I watched Have a great week!!
Comment from : @aprilleighallred8546

that was a great outing chapI found 1 of those Napolean3 coins in Wisconsin too
Comment from : @swampfizz

Thank you for sharing your fantastic, treasure-filled day with us
Comment from : @girlnorthof60

I found a chinese cash coin from the 1600's in Wisconsin 6,200 miles so ya got melol you probably know the chinese brought their own money with them to the US in the 1800's and just dealt with their own chinese community because the US didnt like themthe coins they brought were old copper/brass coins similar to tokens that were really old and had a square in the middle
Comment from : @swampfizz

Googled the railway button Roses and thistles with a dragons wing! Who'd of thunk it! All your other fines freakin epic! You can waffle away all you want! I've enjoyed it immensely!
Comment from : @jodyherr3249

The “squirrels” lead seal could be sables If you look at the seal or flag of Siberia (Russia) it may be that? Fur, timber, sat and rhubarb were some of the exports that could be associated with the lead object you found
