Hey Brad, love the vids you do! I'm gonna say with about 99% certainty the small "axe" head you found is a millstone pick. It would have been used to cut/dress the grooves on milestones used to grind flour and grain back in the day. They were also used by stone masons to clean/dress/face stones for foundations, fireplaces and other structures. I have several of those very tools and I still use them on occasion! To me, those old tools are just as exciting finds as the gold and silver coins.....they helped build those old farms and homesteads.... Keep up the amazing finds and videos!
Thank you for discovering the location of the lost barn. I would never have guessed that location. Great finds.
Brad, the brass object with a hole in the end is a tent, rope, tightener, and I think you are right about that hammer is for stonework
The mystery object is a tension tool that was used as far back as the 1860s. It was used on tent or tarp ropes to tighten the slack. Very nice finds.
I have to agree with some of the comments on one of your finds being a millstone pick! I do believe there are some 18th-century finds to be found on this property! I hope you can go back and find some of them! Keep on digging, and I'll catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
I call it a great day. Silver coins, old tape measure, found location of barn plus you found the ring. Oh and the buckle. I lnow you love finding really old artifacts like that. Was the oldest find of the day.
No way. I have never seen someone else. Find one of those old tape measures. Which is so funny because I found one just last month myself. Congratulations.
Great video! Congrats on verifying the site of the burned barn-- that's a bit of family lore that you now figure into ("and we got a historian guy out here with a metal detector, and he found a fire-damaged coin and nails so now we know for sure where it was.") You're part of their story now; nice! Loved the finds, but that tape-measure was just great-- it's funny, I have a couple of leather-bodied ones that I got from a company that makes Victorian ones and they're very similar. Useful little buggers. That barrel-bung was a fine thing to run across too; they've changed so very little, even ancient Roman ones were similar.
Watch.....that burnt Merc you found is probly a 16 D and no one will ever know. Lol. That would be my luck. Lol. Awesome finds! I thought that was a pocket watch too. I didn't even know they made retractable tape measures that long ago. Learn something new every day. Watching this was the perfect way to end my day. 😊
Good evening brad, just finished your latest episode hunting for the position of the barn that burnt down. Very interested, but got to say, no! You don't have seven years bad luck for finding the compact with the broken mirror 😊 haha, love the genuine way you put yourself out there for us! See you next week, amongst the wildness and gorgeous nature. ❤ From Aussie xx
Fun hunt! Great job finding his wedding ring. His smile said it all!
Hey Brad,
Green Mountain lost and found, a whole new adventure!
Great show. Thanks again for the entertainment
Brad, I started watching your videos because the opening scene is what I see from my front door. I and a friend looked for that ring a few days earlier with no luck, glad you found it and the buckle drew you back. I would have never thought to detect that hay field, you never know what's been lost and left to be found. Great video!
Sir you rock. Blessings
Silver and the beautiful Milkweed too!! 💜
Great video as always, Brad. Someone probably already chimed in but that object on the far right in your wrap up is a tent rope tensioner
Brad - It is a stone finishing hammer. Great videos as always! Thanks again for sharing your adventures! Your long hollow brass tube with the hole in the end is a 1850's-1860's tent rope tension slide. I have several of them from Civil War cams.
Always my best start to the weekend watching you having fun in the field.
