Your toy truck is an old fire truck from round the 1950's. My brother had one very similar to that one when we were little. I've been watching you for about a year now. Besides your cool finds I really enjoy your videography. That half the reason I watch your vlogs. Keep sharing and God bless.
I love it when you have Chris or Eddy with you! Chris had me laughing when he tried to cover up his. There’s really nothing funnier than a guy screaming like a little girl when they have a bug on their face 😅😂. Love your reactions with each other! Thanks for the video’s!!
Just seeing and hearing about the insects was worth the watch. The wiggly worm in the one hole was neat too. The anticipation of maybe seeing a bear was good too. I like the key and the finds in general. Stay safe.
Brad and Chris, this weeks finds just so so. But the time spent on a wonderful day together with friends is astronomical and life enriching in memories. Chuck in NJ
Ah, good ole yellow jackets...or, "yellah jackets", as we call them down here. I always find their nests with lawnmowers. It's truly a sight to behold lol.
Great one as always. Ground yellow jackets are the worst. They love overturned earth. I was digging a rustler's settlement of about 4 homes from the depression era. No one had ever dug there, and I was finding tons of stuff. I had my coil on its side and it was soft black dirt, and I was digging with my hands and taking a handful and moving it in front of the coil. I was really into it and looked at my hands and it dawned on me that both of my hands and arms were solid black and yellow clear up to my elbows. Took 15 minutes to very carefully remove those bees without me getting excited to give my fear scent to them.
Eastern yellow jackets. This year has been really bad with them. The warm winter of 2019-2020 allowed allot more of them to survive so there are a whole bunch of nests this summer
I 2nd that they are bad. First time I’ve had yellow jacket nest. 2 years in a row. Before that never never had them. I found the first nest. Got stung all over my ankles and back of legs. Next year . My husband was attacked all over his hands n arms
Love the video as always! The toy fire truck is probably a “Tootsietoy” die cast item, it could be pre-war or post war I would have to check my catalogs. They switched to plastic in the mid-1950’s and were the largest die cast toy maker of the 20th century.
Brad...you asked ratio of vinegar and sugar in pickles... 3 cups sugar...3 1/2 cups vinegar...... Also add turmeric, mustard seed, celery seed, allspice...play with the spices to get the flavor you are looking for..you can also add garlic... Good luck
Pay some attention to the shotshells you find. The Robin Hood Powder Co. started in 1904 in Swanton, VT. In 1906 they started making ammunition under the name Robin Hood Ammunition Co. In 1915 they sold out to Remington Arms. Robin Hood marked powder cans and the ammunition boxes and the RH head stamped shell are highly sought after by cartridge collectors. Even in bad condition. They never made a huge amount of ammo and distribution was limited mostly to the NE. Very little Robin Hood marked items are found in good condition.
This is fantastic trivia. My building I currently work at is on Robin Hood Lane in Swanton. Probably not a coincidence. I’ve been detecting for just a few months, but now this gives me something else to hunt. Thank you.
@@stephentracy7509 If you google Robin Hood Ammunition/ Powder Co. you will find several sites with photos then and now of the production facility as well as historical info. Original Robin Hood powder cans in good condition go for hundreds into the thousands of dollarseach. Shot shell boxes can be many thousands in fair condition.
Well you ended the day with great finds. The country is green and plush, I enjoyed it today! The historian, photographer, metal detector... Just the best!
Brad I think the little toy is supposed to be a little fire truck with the hoses layed out in the bed for easy deployment. Thanks for another wonderful video...
Skunks love the nests of yellow jackets! If you are inclined, carry a small spray bottle of Dawn dish soap and water, you can wipe out the whole nest with it, as soon as it touches them they start dying, then the skunk can have a feast!
The hunk of slate with the attached quartz that you set your bounty on is beautiful. Probably some flint mixed in there too. Detecting around some of the old slate quarries in western Vermont might be interesting.
I'm sure you're familiar with the big brown grasshoppers [locust] that fly .. many years ago a girl I was dating and I were going down a country gravel road with the windows down on my '63 Chevy Impala when one flew into her window and got all tangled up in her long blonde hair. I can still see and hear her thrashing around wildly and screaming at the top of her lungs. There are a few times in my life that I probably shouldn't have laughed out loud at something and that was definitely one of them though I did pull over and untangle the 'vicious little beast' from her hair which wasn't easy because she was hysterical and didn't settle down until I could produce all of the pieces. The legs [with the little barbs on them] were the most difficult. lol
Thank you for the adventure and seeing some nice finds ! You guys really got your exercise today ! Take care , stay safe and healthy wherever your next adventure takes you guys ! Doing well here in Kansas .
Hi Brad, Hi Chris. Another great video. I thought the finds were very cool. Glad you didn’t have to use the knife 🔪🔫 or gun on the bear. 🐻 You just had to run like the wind from bees! Lol I’ve been there too. Hurt like crazy. I was lucky with only two stings as well. I was close to the side door of house . I didn’t think I could still run like that! Lol lol🐝🐝 Take care, Joyce. ARROW *🎱. 🇺🇸. ❤️ 🍁🍃🍂🎃
It Still looks like the Farm Property Yielded quite a few interesting finds. Sorry about the Bee's and the Grasshopper Have been there and done that, the moths In Alabama are big as Fruit Bats , One flew around my head one night near the porch light and I had a Fit and a half .....Lol Great Video Looks Like You 2 had a great time and a bunch of Laughs ! Take Care Brad and Chris , better luck next time !
@@normawinton6832 just moisten the sting area with saliva or water. Shake a bit on the sting area and pat it in with your fingers. Helps to lessen the pain and neutralize the venom.
Vespula Germanica... I know them all too well. Yellow Jacket. We had a nasty bunch in our wall of our old home and...in the name of 'know your enemy', I researched all I could. Great video again, Brad, Cool finds. oh... and "evaporator pan" and the fire box is an "arch" ... I sugared here in NH for 11 years...fun...too much work for an old man on his own :-)
Ants bite me plenty but the one time getting stung by wasp was like OW ya son of a ... After little to nothing being found at the sites up in the wooded area, I'm glad you were both able to find some great relics for the property owners at the own homesite 👍☺ I found my first 3 Merry Widows Tin just last week, I instantly thought, as you had, about the tin that you found.
I imagine the bees are yellow jackets . I keep a small bottle of meat tenderizer in my pack for stings. Sprinkle a bit of tenderizer in your hand, add waater to mike a paste and put it on the sting. Beats anything else I've tried.
Hi Brad & Chris, that big button at 8:15 could be made of Pewter ??. A cool hunt even though it all came in the last part of the day, good job guys. Thanks for sharing, much love. xx💖
When you said that the land owners significant other was a farrier, all I could think was "poor woman, bless her heart!".....I was married to a farrier for almost 27 years.
For some reason you sounded like Crispin Glover in the begining shot. Maybe I had too much coffee. Green Mountain Coffee to be exact. I live that stuff. I look forward to your videos. Thanks.....Grant
I very much enjoy tagging along on your hunts virtually, your narrations as well, i compared a novices TH-cam detecting video to yours once and they were very flattered, so I'm not alone by any means. Just an fyi, an 'acre' is a measurement of surface area, not linear distance. They can be any shape so long as they contain the requisite area, so it really doesn't convey what distance was hiked😉😉 Happy hunting!!😁😁
I don't think Brad was suggesting that an acre is a measure of distance. I'm assuming he's using the title "hiking 100 acres" as in "hiking the mountains of Vermont" rather than "hiking 100 miles home". 😁
So your pin you found at 14:30 i believe would have had small arrangement of dried flowers under a domed glass cover. Anyways cool finds, cant wait for your next upload.
@@NinfaCarpentergeorgia198 That was my thought, too. I have one with a braided loop of my Great-Great Grandmother's hair and a pfoto in the middle with a celluloid cover.
BTW,those yellow jackets don’t sting they bite. Stinging bees usually can only sting you once. Yellowjackets can bit you as many times as they want, that is why they are so dangerous. I got bit twice a couple of weeks ago because I ignored a nest. Great adventure.... Thanks
Those Yellow Jackets are evil been there. That looks like a belt buckle for a web belt the way it locks in the back. Nice watch winder, cameo & silver necklace piece. And a cigar holder which is odd to find. Good finds all around.
This time of year and in the ground, they are likely Yellow Jackets. Often they are invisible until you walk into their space. Then they get pissed and swarm all over the invader. Good thing you saw them when you did. Quarter Hoarder and I happened across them several weeks ago and were able to avoid them. Last week Quarter Hoarder and Geoff hit a spot and Geoff’s son stepped into their space and was stung about 30 times.
Yes, definitely yellow jackets and quite aggressive! Had 3 nests of them on my property here in SC this summer. Nasty rascals! Sorry bud, need to carry some sting kill with you this time of year. Blessings on you guys!
Yellowjackets. I have one in my yard and made the mistake of running my mower over it. They hurt. I got stung on my head and ankle. Both were sore a day later like I was bruised. If you were to dig them up it would be a giant paper hive. It looks like multiple giant red wasp nests stacked together.
I had a nest that I ended up putting a window screen over after the sun went down. I then poured a combination of oil/gas down and let it sit till the next morning. At which time, I lit it...bastards, I hate 'em! They're not like Honey or Mason bees that have a purpose...they're more like mean, oversized mosquitos!
I had a bee keeper that told me that yellow jackets that live in the ground are an old variety and their sting is worse than the ones that make hanging nests.
Another great video. You've mentioned in past videos about 'displaying' some of your finds. It would be interesting to see how and what is in your display.
I live on our family ranch. We have 12K acres that has been in my family since 1872. I'm taking my metal detector out to play today. I'm the ONLY person aloud to use metal detectors out here. Unless your with me, your not using a detector out here. The Wells Fargo stage coach cut through the ranch at one time in the 1800's and it just happens to be 100 yards from my house. There are big flat rocks planted in the ground that look like tombstones along the route. I found out later they are stage coach stops. That's where I'm going today! Maybe after I'll go down to the creek where there is a big cowboy boot carved in a rock. This rock is approx 100 miles from the State Capitol in Austin Texas. There's legend that bandits would hide their loot within a 100 miles of state capitols... I can't quit thinking about it! My great grandfather has some cool story's of him being robbed on stage coaches back in the day... If I find something I'll mention it in the comments of your next video! I love metal detecting and I've been doing it for years. My great uncle lost a Volkswagen hubcap in the creek in the late 1950's. I found it a couple years ago & its hanging in the barn... Good luck & have fun!
I’m intrigued by the 4 frame like things you found. They look like they were meant to look like bamboo. Wish you had held it longer so I could see it..
You didn't talk about one of the finds @ 18:15 . Either a bell or a candle sniffer. I've found some fragments of bells shaped similar to that on a horse trail near me.
You can kill bees or wasps with soapy water. The soap breaks down their body oils, allowing water to get on to their lungs. BTW, I worked at Gardner metal detector factory in Phoenix. I was in my twenties at the time so it was all fun and his design was way ahead of the competition. It would detect a BB at 12”.
My sisters husband turned over a pretty good size rock on their land and was stung about twenty times by ground hornets. Luckily he got to the emergency room quickly because he was in pretty bad shape. Turns out he was allergic to the venom. He now carries on of those pins to inject his self if it happens again. Stay safe and better luck next hunt.
What you found that looks somewhat like a "reed" is in fact a cigar holder, sold and used in the 1920s. Even sold in cigar stores just after the 2nd World War.

Awesome finds Brad, great haul there
Some of these beautiful scenery pictures need to be made into jigsaw puzzles. I'd buy them to work on!
Chris is holding it together better then I would! I would be rolling... Grasshopper and a girl scream. Hahaha.
Here in Arkansas, we call them ground yellow jackets and if you disturb them, they'll sting the snot out of you.
Skunks will dig up ground nests.
I really enjoy the way you present your adventures. Always look forward to Friday morning.
So will bears! Glad they didn't run into that one!

The “reed” is, I believe, a cigar holder.

Bears, skunks, opossum and sometimes raccoons like to eat the larva. I have a good video last year of a bear digging a nest out on our farm.
Hard work = COOL Finds...!

I agree, most likely a Tootsie toy Chicago IL. They are pretty common find here in Illinois.
Man, I love your videos. I have learned so much. Thanks from this beginner. Another great one.
My favorite find of yours today was the toy car. Pretty cool. Would love to see it cleaned up.

Well you two have been on a lot of hiking today. Hopefully the third one pays off.
They are yellow jackets 😁 I've seen one of those little bee put a 1500# bull 🐂 over a 5 strand barbwire fence LoL!!!
Looks like yellow jackets. Wasps can get pretty aggressive in the fall.

@@katherineg5946 Yup.
I agree. Yellow jackets build their nests in the ground.
Would be cool to see you detect yards of old homes in Vermont. Door knocking isn't easy though.
Your fire truck is likely marked on the hollow underside. I agree with other comments, looks like a Tootsie
You mentioned about using Vicks vapor rub for bug repellent, I don't know about the repellent but it is used for congestion relief not sore muscles.
Another great video. You've mentioned in past videos about 'displaying' some of your finds. It would be interesting to see how and what is in your display.

You encountered some pretty friendly yellowjackets. I never knew they existed! I enjoy your channel.
At 1:40 you have a perfect Sasquatch X behind you and lots of leaners.
Yellow jackets are bad here in the South this year. They love going underground to build the nests. Down South they are aggressive and will chase you🤣
Yellow jackets in missouri are huge and yes they will chase you!
You didn't talk about one of the finds @ 18:15 . Either a bell or a candle sniffer. I've found some fragments of bells shaped similar to that on a horse trail near me.
You can kill bees or wasps with soapy water. The soap breaks down their body oils, allowing water to get on to their lungs. BTW, I worked at Gardner metal detector factory in Phoenix. I was in my twenties at the time so it was all fun and his design was way ahead of the competition. It would detect a BB at 12”.
My sisters husband turned over a pretty good size rock on their land and was stung about twenty times by ground hornets. Luckily he got to the emergency room quickly because he was in pretty bad shape. Turns out he was allergic to the venom. He now carries on of those pins to inject his self if it happens again. Stay safe and better luck next hunt.
Epipen is the word you are looking for. Every first aid kit should have one. Blessings, Dot
Dot Cassilles Thank you.
Thanks for a break from other things going on.
What you found that looks somewhat like a "reed" is in fact a cigar holder, sold and used in the 1920s. Even sold in cigar stores just after the 2nd World War.
