Great video Eric, Thanks for taking us along. How awesome that you would find a kettle with wooden utensils inside. That was buried deep enough to have been buried on purpose. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful finds! Regarding that flared ramrod holder: Regarding the "ETC" Hawken... The rifle is .50 caliber. The other (muzzle) end of the rod has a brass ferule. It is made from seamless brass tubing, flared at the end to form a trumpet (bell shape), and is open on the end.
I dream about finding this type of stuff. I’m in Oklahoma so we are able to get close to the 1700’s in some places. You are living the dream my friend!!
That weird wooden thing you dug up with that striker looked like it could have possibly been a wooden awl. It looked burnt, which can help preserve and harden wood. Just a thought. Thanks for another great vid.
Imagine the incredible stories this site could tell if it was excavated with the help of a university? They would probably love to see and document your collection! What you found is not just rare, it’s one of the rarest fur-trade era site types out there!
Wooden bowls were called "Trenchers," and if you didn't clean them well, micro bugs would grow on them and get in your mouth, hence the name "Trench Mouth."

Awesome saves Eric … thank you for taking us along ! Loved the wooden bowl at the end!

Thank you, that is what I think as well. I think it was buried with food inside for preservation. Food pits were a common way to preserve food.
boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Thanks much
That ear bob is amazing!
Thank you. I have never found one with so many triangles

Nice used to run a nautilus dmc2 doing contract archeology down south. Brings back a lot of memories.
That’s awesome! I can only imagine the impressive finds you saved in those sites.

Thank you for enjoying it with me.

It was definitely unique and purposefully created for something. You could be correct on the Awl guess.
Very cool
Thanks much for watching
Nice finds.
Thanks for coming
Such history. Makes me wonder if anyone ever detected rendezvous sites in Western America
I have friends in Wisconsin and Minnesota who find similar sites with similar artifacts. All along know trade routes.
Love it all. Great stuff!
Thanks so much!
Love your videos

Thank you for the suggestion. I will consult our local archeologist and see if they are interested.
Awesome saves!!! Rk.
Thanks much.
That is one sick ear bob
I’ve never found one so decked out.
Buttplate is from a Northwest Trade gun.
Pete, I always look forward to your insights. That’s again for the ID.
Wooden bowls were called "Trenchers," and if you didn't clean them well, micro bugs would grow on them and get in your mouth, hence the name "Trench Mouth."
I had never heard that before. Thank you so much for sharing. Very interesting indeed.
Did you throw away the bone awl when you found the striker?
It was wood and I did keep it. Not sure if it’s natural but seems hand carved.
The soil there is crazy it looks like gray beach sand.
It is very sandy soil and it preserves the finds very well.
That ramrod entry thimble is french
Wow, thanks Peter. It was one I hadn’t seen before and didn’t look like the typical British Trade guns I usually see.
Entry tumble for muzzle loader ram rod
Thank you for the ID.
The copper pot with the wooden spoons looks like a burial offering
Could be, but I definitely didn’t find any remains. I did find food in the pot so I believe it was a food pit. This was a common way to preserve food.
Love your videos
Thank you very much!
