    I was out in my backyard pulling weeds and came in to find this nice video. We have a sunny day here in California for working in the garden but I’m so glad you were able to turn a miserably wet day there into such a special treat for yourself and your fans. Congrats on your new permission! πŸ₯°πŸ’•β€οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘

    John, I'm so excited that you have a new field, but oh my goodness what a plentiful day for you! Well done!

    Watching from the American South and really enjoyed this one - subscribed, too! Both of my father's parents descended directly from Highland Scots who came here (to North Carolina) around 1750. You are so fortunate to have such a long history of metal artifacts to find there - from the Celts to the Romans. Here, we get excited to find Civil War bullets and artifacts, from only 160 years ago. But, in New England (NE U.S.), artifacts can date to 1600s. However, my house and acreage sits on woodlands above a creek system, so I commonly find Paleo Indian artifacts right around my house that go back 5 - 8,000 years, having found many stone axeheads, spearpoints, and arrowheads. Great finds!
  • What an incredible hunt John!! Your vids just get better and better!! And you wonder why you have so many subs!!! Cant wait till you return to this permission!! WOW,WOW WOW!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
  • Well detected John. These new fields are going to be exciting to watch over the next few months. Especially around the church..
  • This was great! Congratulations on getting this new permission. You sure have a knack for finding some great places.
  • Great day, John, even with the rain! Such wonderful finds - CONGRATULATIONS! πŸ‘πŸ–– Aside: I was born & raised in "Rainy Oregon," which is just north of "Sunny California," USA. In Oregon, even though it DOES rain quite a lot, we always tried to remember to think & say this: "It isn't raining rain today, it's raining daffodils!" According to Scotland's most famous poet, Rabbie Burns, Scotland, too, is noted for LOTS of daffodils, so ENJOY THAT RAIN, as Spring will soon arrive, and also DAFFODILS! πŸ€—

    My friend, i must say that your channel is very inspiring and so informative, thank you so much for being an inspiration for many all around the world, detectorist, all and anybody! =) Keep up the great work and happy hunting!
  • John you folks are lucky to have a chance to find history so far back in time. I absolutely think it's incredible to think my backyard literally has been occupied for over 2 or 3 thousand years or more. You go ol' boy πŸ˜†
