Hi another Newbie from Scotland

Hi folks, my name is Glen S Fiddich but I'm commonly known as Glenfiddich (strange that don't you think ?) lol   anyway I am from Edinburgh in Scotland and I stumbled upon this forum by mistake while looking for something on-line regarding repairing the female jack plug on my Tesoro Cibola which has come loose and as said already I am looking for away to repair it or rather to rewire it maybe when I stumbled across your forum   Is this forum based in the U.S. or am I writing on home turf here in the UK ??

Anyway, just to put you in the picture about myself.....

I have been detecting for just over 12 years now and I use mainly my trusty XP Deus, I also own a Blisstool V3 and a Tesoro Cibola as well. I have several other hobbies including playing analogue synthesizers (mostly Korg's) I am also saving for a Clavia Nord Lead A1 which is a very nice machine, but then there are others too from Roland and I just can't make up my mind ??   I also have my own smallholding over in Krakow, Poland so spend quite a lot of my time there although my in-laws look after it mostly,   I like fly fishing too, and have some other hobbies not mentioned but maybe one day I'll divulge a little more  

I also run my own club called Glenfiddich's Border Reivers where we meet up regularly at various historical sites both sides of the Scottish and English Borders to detect on a Sunday and I raise money for charity at some of these digs which goes towards Cancer Research.



here are some of my best finds in the past couple of years.....

Decorated Viking silver hack (now with the Museum of Scotland)  
28 hammered medieval silver coins found on a field in the North of England both British and foreign struck  
Part of an Anglo-Saxon criciform brooch  
A 12th century bronze statue from the Norman period  
A scattered hoard of 45 Roman silver Denarius coins from the first century (Now with Treasure Trove at the Museum of Scotland)  
various hammered medieval coins including a recent find of a James V of Scotland Penny in "extremely fine" condition and which is rare  

Don't be shy I am looking forward to reading some good replies on this site

Hi Mick,

Thanks for asking for some photos   this'll be my first attempt at uploading photos on here and so I assume that I will be able to just copy the links from Photobucket ?? I'll give it a go anyway

45 Roman silver Denarius found scattered across a field, which too 4 weeks to scan and to dig up all the coins  



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------









12th Century Norman period statue of a kilted man found in North Northumberland - The Finds Liaison Officer in Newcastle Upon Tyne has said that it is a statue depicts one of The Three Wise Men only he is wearing a kilt and locally known in these times as "The Magi", presumably because that part of North Northumberland was under Scottish rule at that time.

Viking silver finds from 2014 found on a bleak Perthshire hillside  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the images for the other scattered hoard which were found in Cumbria (North West England are sadly not on this computer or in Photobucket so I shall try to retrieve them at a later date  
 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


hope you like my photos of my best recent finds in the past 2 years  


I look forward to any comments guys and gals

Geez!! That is one great total of old coins.
It must be fun to find them. There is much history where you live.
 Keep on digging them up and posting your pics.
