I once saw a video where a candle maker was dipping a single candle using a spoon with a hole in it as a convenient handle. Their wick string extended up through the hole and was knotted so it wouldn't fall out the hole. Perhaps that's a plausible explanation for a colonial spoon with a hole in it?
Whether it was the reason or not, it's a possibility. I've always dipped my candles with adequate wick to be manipulated by hand and trimmed or burnt the wick down. Then again, whatever I do in these modern times, aren't what they did back then. Spoons and such were in sets back then I'd assume but yeah. One spoon repurposed might not have set them back long-term. Who knows.
I have been watching your videos for quite some time, but had an epiphany of sorts thing morning as I watched. Here's the thing, I realized that I don't really care what you find, or even if you find anything much at all. I enjoy your enthusiasm and your love of nature, your amazing way of putting together the scenes of the surrounding woods and your historic finds-I love all of it-and especially your comforting voice as you talk about what you find with knowledge and sometimes, speculation on what it is or may have been used for. You are a special gift for those of us who can no longer walk through the woods ourselves, but enjoy your journey each week.
Hi Andy! Thanks for letting our good buddy Brad film and hunt for cool treasures on your land! You're a gentleman and a scholar sir, a gentleman and a scholar!
Brad you do an amazing job with the items you find. A perfect example it’s not about the finds but the journey to the finds cool peope you meet and history, is presented respectfully. Dig on men
Very nice finds, Brad and Andy. The University of Notre Dame published an extensive paper regarding the Connecticut copper coins. In part it reads: There were more that 355 die combinations, with at least 126 type varieties having 26 distinct bust styles made by at least six different mints.
Thank you Andy for allowing us to follow Brad on your beautiful land. Brad thank you for another wonderful video. Just a thought! Was the spoon used for separating egg whites?
Love watching on Friday. Got a detector for Fathers Day last year. Been around our apartment in an old 1756 hotel turned into 3 apartments. Found an old barrel tap and a small broken brass leg to something. Hope to do more.
I think Andy should be a regular on your channel. He seemed to know something about what he was doing and he had good camera charisma. Fantastic video Brad! Love the channel
The overlay of the coin during moving footage is pretty damn awesome. I'd appreciate that over a single frame, not sure how much effort's worth, but props for the additional effort.
It's like entering a portal and traveling back 250 years- you can practically feel the people handling all those objects you found- simply fantastic! And you've created another addict as well- great job!
Hello from Northern California. There are so many great ideas about the spoon and I would like to add mine. My Great Grandmother had a punched spoon that she kept in her kitchen and she used it to separate eggs. (Separate the yokes from the egg white)
Thank you, Andy, for allowing Brad to hunt with you on your land. I hope you will find many more exciting finds on your property. I'm happy for you too, Brad, that you found some awesome finds too, especially the half cent.
Hi Brad, this a grandma in Washington state. Love your videos and I usually watch under my husband’s account. I wanted that tell you how much I enjoy yours videos and very much enjoy the nature shots. I have a few ancestors from back there and will likely never see Vermont in person, so thank you for your fun videos and showing me around Vermont! Cheers!
Awesome! The graphics the ID number and the correlation to the find are exactly what I've always wanted in a detecting video! I'm so excited to see more this summer! Thank you so much for the videos!!!
My folks used to own 40 acres on the side of Stanard Mountain in the Northeast Kingdom. Yes, it was an old farm gone to the woods. I love your "B" shots.
Like the memory spoon....it was probably used to hang something like a hat, socks or towel on the wall to dry. ( Found many spoons like that in old logging camps....they were nailed to the wood wall and used to hang things. ) I remember using them over a century ago. 🤫😳
Love your videos. My Dad did metal detecting all his life. He found such great things. He’d even make the newspapers for his unusual finds. I’d love to do that also.
Hey Brad and Andy excellent Hunt. Andy Congrats on the Coppers and Spoon. The Spoon is really amazing. Brad Congrats on the Shoe Buckle Pieces and Coppers especially the last Copper. You found. Very nice details. Love the Buttons also. Take Care
Hello Andy 😀 Measure the hole in the spoon, .22 of an inch? Cut coins are so neat. Lovely Hibernia Irish Half Penny Coin with the Harp. Great finds Brad.
thanks brad for making these videos. thanks andy for having brad up for some playing in the dirt. i'm off to cleaning up my yard some and tending my bees.
Always great to have a location so full of life! That area was definitely well lived in. Great job with the ring return and the owner seems like a great guy! He got an awesome Connecticut! That was my first copper I found 1787 CT. 👊 Wicked happy hunting!
Been watching your channel on and off and now subscribed. 🙂. I metal detect in the UK and have done for the last 40+years 😀I was given some advice probably about 20 years ago stop using a short shovel to dig with and get a normal length shovel to dig with and your back will thank you in twenty years time. 😊😊.

Was thinking the same thing
Sounds like you have it!

Who knows.
It was nailed to the wall to hang things on....get it right 😎
@@bouncerslabrealnature9143 Perhaps it was a diet spoon?
I can hear the addiction starting in Andy's voice.😊
Great location! So nice that the landowner could find some coins on his own land! I think he's hooked!
Thanks Andy , especially letting Brad come and dig.

Green mountain and a cup of black coffee ☕
The start to a good Friday 😁

"Black" coffee..no cream? Are you okay? ;) Hahahaha!

Fresh roasted and fresh ground black coffee!
Brad, metal detecting and a home made latte with froth. Can’t get any better for me!
