Thank you. I totally enjoy your videos. I am almost 70 and starting metal detecting. We have found so many artifacts from the 1800s that are now in museums .
So happy for you! I’d give artifacts to the museum as well. To protect history and insure it’s not placed in the wrong hands, gifting to your local historical society/museum is the way to go. 💯
@rosegeaber7533 Do it! You won't regret it. Maybe get yourself a good entry metal detector like a simplex or a garrett, a pinpointer, a good shovel (black ada invader is good and cheap) and enjoy!
Brad you must be the first to ever metal detect that area!! Wonderful finds!! I love how you appreciate each and everything you recover. Makes me smile to see the thrill you get from your finds!💚💙✨
Hey Brad. I’m from Winnipeg and I watch a lot of metal detecting videos. To be honest I’m tired of seeing people finding pull tabs and stuff. I started watching your videos and they are so interesting and the way you present them. Thank you for the history lessons. No parks,no cars, no junk,just fresh air and beautiful scenery and landscape. 👍🇨🇦
Brad at 13:13 the metal tag. My grandfather worked in the iron mines of northern Minnesota and he had a tag similar to that one that was his employee tag. Great historical find. Love your videos.
The brass plate you found at the 15:30 mark appears to me to be upside-down. It looks like it may be a compass-caliper/divider-protractor combination. Perhaps off a ceremonial masonic or military engineer award piece or even a flagpole placard.
Hey Brad, use " EvapoRust" on those scissors! Non toxic bio degradeable makes my outdoor tools shine, also refurbishing a 1946 Dodge Power Wagon brake hubs. Worked great 👍😃
Enjoy the videos! I have dug and actually my first couple of large jobsites used tags like you dug. It was called “Brass Alley” and we would take our brass with our employee number on it in the morning. The timekeeper would then go in and whichever tags were still there would be the guys that did not show that day. During the day if we needed a “special” tool we would use our brass to check out the tool knowing we had to take the tool back before the end of the day to get the brass so that we could put our brass back in brass alley.
We really enjoy your video's. You mention about cleaning things up, and putting them on display. I really wish you would show us what these things look like cleaned up.
My favorite find of the video - the tag - I found a Miners Tally Tag about a month ago & cleaned it up. Now I wear it on my detecting videos. The historic stuff are the best detecting finds. My grandfather was a coal miner back in the day.
Not sure if anyone has already said it, but your "pendant" looks like a decorative piece that would go on mayb a jewelry box or something attached with small little nails at the you and bottom. What awesome finds! ❤❤
I usually watch this in the evening after work on Friday, a happy marker that the weekend has begun. I finished my job last Friday and get to watch this with morning cup of tea this Friday. Such a nice way to start the day!
Hey Brad, Good to see detecting videos are back. Really enjoy seeing the antique items that were once part of someone's life long ago. Stay Safe, Be Well
Another great video Brad. Lots of cool pieces of history. Mason found his first 2 cent piece on January 1 to start off this incredible year. Shoe buckle chape is my favorite, love how excited you get about shoe buckles still even though you have found so many. Definitely one of our favorite items to find too! Good luck on the next adventure and we are already looking forward to next Friday.
I had a client that had a dresser like the one you showed. We caregivers weren't allowed to touch it. It had come to her from her grandmother. It was gorgeous.
Such a great lake hunt! Thanks for sharing, Brad! Your channel is #1 of the dozens of detecting channels I watch. Lakes are great places to explore. I have a lake near me with several old homesites going back to the original settlers in my area. Generations of finds laid on top of each other. Truly my best finds have come out at the lake. Many of the best are just lying on the shore. I have found 12 gold rings at that lake, all laying on the surface and not one was identified first with the metal detector. There are many thousands of pull tabs so sometimes just walking the shore is the most productive.
As with a lot of remote locations, farms in early America , many families had multi generations living together , grandparent , parents , there children, and even the children’s children lived together mixing several generations and wearing items that were passed down until it wore out or was broken or its was lost, that would explain item for 17th and 18th century together , as you said in many or your video’s, these people were poor and couldn’t afford much. Even today many farms are passed down to their family members, being from Oklahoma I’ve seen it first hand. Love your videos.
Though I’m in Texas, I’m a London mudlark with a permit - when visiting there I love looking for pottery (Roman, medieval and beyond) and clay pipes. I would have been looking at the pottery at your feet. What a surprise to see you find a pipe bowl!
Great finds. Great adventure. I have always wanted to hunt treasures, but at my age,66, I just wish. The pendant looks like it could be a earring dangle, with other pieces that attached. Have a great weekend with family Brad.👍😘
I'd say your bit of jewelry at the end is more likely Art Deco or Art Nouveau than Victorian in style, so 1890s-1910 or so. Really nice! Maybe something from a lady's hat? Wonderful episode; out here in the Southwest you can pretty much expect sunken towns wherever we have reservoirs (and a lot of them were Native American, extremely old or recent) and there are some very stringent laws about metal-detecting around them; I'm glad you were able to check this one out-- you gave us a glimpse back into the past. :)
Allot of finds Brad. Lakes are a great place to detect when the water drops. I have a lake close by that has several of gold mining town under it. But California has decided to not let anyone detect there as they’ve made everything over one hundred years old off limits. I guess the rangers have nothing better to do than hunt people down and take their equipment and finds. Of course there are no signs and they would rather the object rot away… John
The Hook and Spike is hammered into an overhead or vertical beam and you hang your lantern on it. The long scissors are Dressmaking Shears. Great finds. I remember you did a beach on a reservoir before, a great place to detect. Nice finds.
The 2 cent piece won the day. I found my first 2 weeks ago after detecting since 1967. Mine was a 1866. The candy cane is a forged tent stake I believe.
I find your videos very enjoyable, always amazed with so many of your finds. I also worry when you go up in those mountains alone and do hope you always carry protection with you. Thanks entertaining your entertaining content! PS: I miss seeing Mike.
with all the clay, brick, glass, and brass, it's like you went "mudlarking" this trip! I will guess that the ornate brass item may have been part of a lamp or chandelier? just my guess. thank you for taking us with you on this adventure, it's always a good time and ends too soon.
That container tag could also be a mineral tag. Not sure if you have any mines where your at but it could be. Used to show if a miner was underground working. Each employee had one with his number stamped on it
Was the area flooded on purpose? I love seeing all the items you have found metal Detecting as well as mudlarking like they do in other countries Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️♥️⚒️🇺🇸🗝️
