Out of the many Metal detecting channels on RU-vid....Yours is the best. You speak eloquently. Good cinematography. Great views. Good editing. Knowledge of History. Most of us who do watch on the west coast, can only imagine what it would be like to hold something from early America in there hands. Great Channel
Hello friends.. present to witness the fun of hunting hidden treasures.. best of luck always.. greetings from the digger of Indonesian natural resources...👍🙏⚒️❤️🇮🇩
Amazing how you recognize so many items!! Even though I live in the Midwest and detecting here produces totally different items-excluding some newer dated coins- your videos are the only metal detecting videos that I watch. They're always so interesting, educational, and I really enjoy your way of thinking how items may have been used hundreds of years ago. Super job, Brad. This 74 years young gal gets so much motivation from watching, that I have my White 300 MXT & MineLab Pro 35 pin pointer out just waiting for the frozen Okie grounds to thaw enough to grab them & head out.
4:09 The part with two holes is flat on the back and the holes are beveled on the opposite side for wood screws to set down in. Then the ball part has a hole through it at ninety degrees to the wood screws. One use I saw for this was in my childhood at the grand parents farm house kitchen. several of those along the top of the window at the sink about two foot apart and had a cord strung though the holes and lightweight panels of cotton curtains between the brackets. The cord was just knotted at both end brackets so they would not slip back through the hole without being untied.
I was thinking the two holes looked like they were meant for wood screws and then envisioned it being used for some sort of pulley system or string. I went in search for a comment. Thank you, yours is an awesome account ☺️🤗
Great as always. The brass piece with two screw holes could be a part to a rifle sling, the part that screws to the stock. Enjoy your fall . . . what's left of it. Here in Missouri some of the trees are just now changing leaf colors.
In the 1980’s I was talking on the phone to a woman on a farm in Kentucky. The doctor wanted to talk to her husband. I remember that she promised to have him call back because he was so far out on the property that she would have to whistle to get his attention. They were delightful. This whistle brought back a long forgotten memory of some very nice people.
Brad, I think the item you found right after the Indian Head cent was part of a winding mechanism that would fold down flush to the back of the clock or whatever item it wound. Keep up the fantastic video work!
Several years back I was scrapping, found many old signs, the first Coble Dairy Milk signs made, a Diggs drugs, pharmaceutical co.,,I gave that one to my pharmacist, (he hung in his store)the jackpot was a humongous car grave yard, we rented backhoes to dig them up made a Lotta money (thousands)on that find ! Must've been an old junkyard. Was very hard work but was so much fun finding so many old things, and getting $ $$ for old metal
Swamp root was a common curative concoction made from the root of the Lizard tail or Dragons tail plant that grew, appropriately, in swamps. Native Americans used it to treat swellings. That whistle may still work if you put it up to your lips and blow, as into a tube or bottle. It may have been for working dogs. I have seen similar used for sheep dogs. Always enjoy the videos.
You could still purchase “Swamp Root” about 40 years ago. I know because I had (May still have-somewhere) a new bottle in the box. I used to have it on a shelf of my medical office. I never tasted it.
Kilmer's Swamp Root was "brewed" right here in my home town, Binghamton NY. The building that Kilmer used for production is still standing and is now a restaurant called Remlik's (Kilmer spelled backwards).
@@danwilliams5074 I have seen those Kilmer bottles. Must have been popular stuff. Isn't that the Carousel place too? My wife loves carousels! Thanks for the good info!
Wonderful as always Brad!! That whistle is a find of a lifetime to me....WOW...It is really fun to think about the way they may have used that whistle....maybe for dog hunting or horse training....or like you said to get the kids home to eat!! What a great episode!!
Oh by all means find something cheap and hide some coins on the property! Great memories and maybe a passion for a new hobby! You could probably shoot videos and get a great following. I would definitely subscribe!
That second find reminds me of the pin hinges… two separate pieces… one screws onto the door, the other onto the frame then a pin hooks the two together and the door pivots on the pin… might have been for some sort of jewelry box?
I guess you got to keep the whistle(shown cleaned up with the letters T.Y. on it) Great video and finds as usual Brad….HH and GL on your next adventure. The last few kicks at the can! 🙏🏼🍀♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
Thanks for the new video 👏, I'm getting my first detector soon, still undecided on which model to go for. We're living in the middle of a forest, southern Bohemia, Czech Republic. Looking forward to your next upload.
Fascinating and enjoyable series presented by a very nice guy, even if you're not into Metal Detecting this is still enjoyable programme to watch just to see the "Finds"
The creek item has countersunk holes on one side , as if for screws . Might be one of a pair with a handle between them making a drawer pull 12:12, winder for the wick of an oil lamp
I believe the “little brass doodad” at 4:15 is part of a latch for a jewelry box. The flat side was screwed to the inside of the lid, and the ball with the hole stuck out, and was where the latch was hinged.
I was just hanging out watching the beautiful sunrise while watching this. A nice pile of finds Brad. That whistle is awesome!!!! Happy hunting and be well
The brass piece you found with a knob with a hole in it and the flat section with two holes is for hanging a picture frame. The two holes are counter sunk for screws to screw to the frame and the knob with the hole had a ring, It dates from 1780 to 1840 give or take a few years. I have a couple of old picture frames in my collection with these hangers.
Hey mate! Awesome video, some really nice finds, the broken bottle is pretty cool, I really like the piece of jewelry, the age to it is amazing! Thanks for sharing this awesome hunt! Cya on the next. Henry👍☺️
My first thought, it was a winder, for a music box, perhaps. That's a lot of stuff! (Oh yeah, keep that glass shard, somewhere safe. See-thru frame maybe in resin.)
I have to say, I don't care how many have metal detected before you, you find things. The whistle is very cool and fans the imagination..the pendant is beautiful and makes me realize how simple the jewelry was made. Yet in it's time it was more then likely a prize. Could've been a locket... As always you're the best and I love watching your videos...
I always enjoy your videos, thanks for making them! Amazing to imagine how all those places you get to used to be deforested homesteads and farms & even trading posts & towns sometimes.
It’s my first time watching your Vlogg I thoroughly enjoyed it & I’ve subscribed I felt your excitement with every find The scenery is beautiful too can’t wait for your next adventure From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I like your channel better than others. U really seam to care about the artifacts that u find. And your knowledgeable also. I live in a farm that dates back two hundred yrs. And I’ve found lots of farming and history here but I’ve never metal detect it But will be soon. Ty for your channel to get me into it medal detecting
Nice finds, Brad 👍 I need to get back to detecting. It’s been hot and humid here in MS so I haven’t hunted 3-4 months. I started detecting Sept ‘21 with a Simplex. I never thought much about these before detecting but I have developed a big hatred for pull tabs, lol
