Excellent videos guys and a great soundtrack makes it very watch able..
7:06 was cool
Great finds! And the cloud at the end looks like a knight with his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword looking over the battlefield! Spooky!
God Bless William Wallace!
Hi markoj34,
It may be a light type of schiltron the forged iron socket for the wood shaft has rotted away . To heavy for arrow or crossbow bolt. needs further research from an expert on weapons of that time. better view of this artefact at 5.46 in the vid.
Best regards Guss.
Is that an arrowhead at 3:03?
i loved growing up in stirling.. its has such a great history and although a new bridge was contructed of stone… the wooden posts that supported the original bridge of the battle, can still be found in the ground today. as a city its history is superb. it even served the country as a capital city when edinburgh was sent into decay by black death. growing up there is the reason i love history so much so ty for this video upload. for the insight into metal detecting as well as the history
Yes you must always have permission to search private land its the hobbies code of conduct . Finds are shown to the landowner . Research started in Durham university libraries . We also use the internet see the ( falkirk roll ) and explored various areas.
Thanks for your interest.
Thaught so. Good film any way
Yes thats true .
One problem, if I am not entirely mistaken it was Robert the Bruce who was Braveheart, not William Wallace.
fantastic finds,really what its all about.How long did you spend researching ?.Where there any probs getting permission ?.I have enough probs with both.
They are historic finds which were lost and forgotten now they live again & tell us an amazing story and are cherished by the finders. How do you put a value on items like this, to us they are priceless. We are the custodians of this history. The story is here for all to see.
Thanks for your kind comments invension.
just curious..how much are these things worth?
i would never sell these things…

Beautiful. Great job, fellas, on the hunt -and- this video. Will have to find a battlefield out in these parts to hunt on meself.
Wow! Is it hard to find stuff like that on the battlefields? Were you guys just lucky, and found alot, or can you use a metaldetector and almost be sure to find something?
He died few months later in cloaked circumstances.his earlship died with his own blood…
Hey cymrubahaus78,
Thankyou so much for your input on our finds we find it all very exciting too , its great when you can actually shake hands with history. You will be very excited to see our latest finds as soon as i get the vid finished.
Regards Guss
Should be young Pierre de Gabeston,as his father Arnaud died in 1302 and was buried in Blacklow hill,Warwickshire.
Hi
the vid is really interesting,not to mention the findings! the german styled eagle pendant resemble the coat of arms of De Gabeston (Gaveston) earl of Cornwall himself at the time of Edward I; both he and his young son Piers served among Edward I army on scottish campaigns since 1298,very likely they fought at stirling and at Falkirk.
My compliments for the findings!
Hi cymrubahaus78,
I have found out lately that it may be the arms of Richard earl of cornwall who was in the rear guard at Falkirk.We have also been told that the pendant for Gabeston may also be Ralph de Monthermer earl of Gloucester as it is similar . New vid soon on new finds and research.
Thanks for your interest.
coat of Arms at 6.15 resemble quite the Lion of Scotland..
Thanks for the info thats exciting.
Can you tell me more. As I am finding it hard to find more info on Arnaud de Gabeston & King Edward I.
hello,great finds.
the eagle is 100% german made.
from the 12th century..
built for the german crusaders knights.
very ,very unusual and rare find in britain
Hi Stevemontagne,
The red cross in flory is known to be a symbol of the templar crusaders search google. Brian le jay & his templar knights were at Falkirk so this fits too, I may be wrong but I believe this artefact from the site relates to these templar crusaders any help in research is most welcome.
