Hi Brad. Small knife blade is from a table fish knife. Eating utensil.
I believe this is correct!
It would have been a twisted handle butter knife silver plate late 1800s I have a collection of them.
google "ornate vintage butter knife."
With the sharp point, that could be a cheese knife, as well.
Yep. I have seen complete examples of cutlery from the 1800s in D.C as a child. More common than you think they are.
I'm very confident that it is a butter knife. But there are also smaller more decorative knives for spreadable Cheeses. Like cream cheese, brie, cheese ball, etc.
I was going to say the exact same thing. Definitely a butter knife. Much Love ❤
Butter knives have a fat rounded end
Agreed!
Don't be too confident, it's a fish knife
I agree it's a Victorian butterknife
Laying my wonderful mother to rest today and your video is a brief respite for me from this heartbreaking time in my life. Thanks, Brad. This week's episode is the most important one for me, although I love them all, but I NEEDED this one most!! RIP Momma.
Condolences, I lost my Mom twenty years ago and know your pain, you are not alone. The fact that you miss her so, shows how wonderful she was. Take care of yourself🥰💕❤️
sad time my friend, keep remembering the love you shared. God bless you.
Such a hard loss. My sympathy.
So sorry for your pain. I’m losing my mom, my best friend.
Time does NOT heal all. It just gets easier to deal with. May your mother walk on. Peace be with you and your family.
Thanks,Brad! At almost 80, my knees and balance aren't what they used to be. I love that I can to go with you and enjoy the finds and wonderful places.
Dang sue, God bless you. I'm in my prime, but I often think about things like that almost every time I dig. I see others, and my family members struggle to get down and check out a hole. It breaks my heart. I don't take my youth for granted at all, I know that I will blink, and be at the end of my life.
That's definitely a vintage butter knife. It had a wooden handle that rotted away.
I agree. I have one but it has a metal handel
Agree! If the blade is brass or bronze, it may have been silver plated. It also could have had a sterling silver handle that was retained by the owner after the blade broke off.
I have one with an ivory handle.
It's a butter knife blade. The handle is missing. My mom had a set with butter knives just like it.
Nice finds Brad.
You might already know this, but for the indian head cent, if there isn't a shield between the tips of the branches on the reverse, it was made in 1859 :) Otherwise, it can be any date after. I'm very lucky to have found an 1859 (the first year they were made) on my first ever 1800s coin. Have only found two other indian heads since, no other old coins unfortunately. Love your videos!
It is possible that the coin purse was leather and wild animals carried it around and chewed on it spreading everything around. Porcupines especially like things with salt even from your hands. At our ranch we had to be sure to put away our wooden handle tools or they would chew them up overnight.
Yours are the only videos I watch that always seem to fly by and are over way too quickly!!Keep up the great work!
Great finds! I really enjoy the professional production of your videos 👍
Pretty sure the first Indian is a first year 1859. I couldn’t spot a shield on the back side. Another awesome video Brad!
Yes! It's a one year type coin than can be identified without the date showing.
He had the date range wrong 1859-1909 59-64 were fatty
Thanks Brad. You have taken over the top slot for my favorite metal detecting channel. You are in good company. You probably already know this, but that is a butter knife. The handle part would have been made just like the forks and spoons in order to lay flat on the table . It was bent 90 degrees right were it is broken. The blade would be vertical so you didn't get butter on the table cloth.
It’s great site on my favorites list along with quarter hoarder ,dig that beep ,the Scottish detectorist and Hoover boys all great channels!
@@Republic4ever714 Thanks, Gone digging and Tara Germania are on my list and of course the Hoover boys.
Brad, Aqua Chigger, and Chill Bill make my top 3. Brad's content is definitely the most artistic, Bill's for old Roman and comedy, and the Chig for the very best water and civil war items!
Definitely a butter knife. I have a set of sterling silver flatware that's old and I have several shaped like that.
One of these days, you're going to find a missing JET! LOL
😂Good 1!
I recognized that coin purse latch right away! I inherited a sterling silver mesh coin purse and a gold mesh coin purse, from my grandfather in France.
I inherited a Silver 5 Franc coin from 1877 from my late GF in France
Definitely a fish knife Brad. An entirely Victorian invention. Back in the day you could show how refined you were by having the appropriate cutlery for the appropriate dish. And of course knowing which utensils to use for which dish. Not such an issue these days of course. As we order our fried chicken in buckets and eat with our fingers lol. Great video as always. Good stuff.
Eating with our fingers worked for us Native people for an awful long time! 😊
Awesome day!! Thank you!!
For what it's worth, watching your videos are one of the only times during the week I am at peace and relaxed! Thank you brother!
Here in Chico CA we have many rock walls. Built by the Chinese for clearing fields for crops, cattle or whatever. Quite scenic when the wildflowers are in bloom during the spring season. Some were used as outlines for property back then as well. And by gold miners to mark claims.
You should have ten times the subscribers than you do. You're so easy to hang out with. You and Bob Gymlin are my go to channels on repeat. Thanks for being committed to your craft. 🏆👍
I want a metal detector so bad.. Finding coins like this makes you just think about the history! Very nice finds and great video.
Save your pennies! Way back in the 1980's I wanted one and had saved up almost enough, TWICE! Each time, I ended up needing a big car repair. Third time's a charm! After four years, I got my first. You can do it, too!
You certainly whet my appetite for a return visit!
I agree, it's a fish knife, minus it's handle. I've seen them used as butter knives because of the bluntness of the blade. Keep up the wonderful metal detecting shows. Love them, and your obvious love of all the items you dig up and show us 👍 Elizabeth from Australia x
On a cruise an in port in Livorno, IT. Just diagnosed with Covid and isolated to my room for 3 days. I’m glad I can tune in too GMMD! Thanks,
I was lucky enough to find coin purse and 4 silver coins a foot away a week later. Great video as always Brad and I'd say that is definitely a knife for soft spreads
Lucky dawg ❤
Wow you did really well for just wandering the woods around rock walls. We live next door in New Hampshire and have only tried doing that a few times with not so much luck. We find the ocassional flat button and piles of bullets, shotgun head stamps, and bullet casings, its enough to make us want to stick near the cellar holes. A draped bust is pretty awesome to find in the middle of the woods! Congrats Brad and we are already looking forward to next Friday! Happy Hunting and Good Luck from Jim and Mason.
That knife looks like one my Mom had for butter or soft cheese. Hers had a ceramic handle. Texas Deb 😊
I'm pretty sure that's a butter knife. My great-grandmother had a silver set, and this brings back a vivid memory of her spreading butter and jam on homemade biscuits
Appreciate the comments regarding finding a lot of shotgun shells and bullets in an area, hitting like a coin, that make you a bit discouraged but that you have to remain disciplined and check them out because you just never know... Then you proved yourself right!!! Nice job finding and teaching...
Looks like the blade to a fancy butter knife!
Great hunt Brad
Enjoyed your great finds today, definitely hope you return to that spot.
Awesome adventure, thanks for taking us along Brad. 👍
Fish knife, butter knives are rounded, the handle end is scalloped so a decorative silver cap can be fixed tightly covering the blade.
❤ What fascinating history you dig up! ❤
Awesome finds and definitely a place to revisit.
Thank you Brad for the adventure , seeing beautiful scenery and amazing finds !
Amazing stuff. Found a few things already with my new detector I received for my 75th birthday.
Great location! Always love seeing a Draped Bust rescued from the ground.
Killer finds Brad! I’m so glad you show us the nature around you!
Thanks for another very cool trip through time- great location and even better finds!
Great finds! Super video. ❤
Wonderful day. Enjoyed watching along.
Love these videos and look forward to Friday mornings so I can watch them
What a great day of finds! ❤
I love watching you find all these amazing little treasures and pieces of history. Thanks for taking us along!
I know I'm getting old when the first thing I saw when I looked at the picture for your video was ET🤣😂 good hunt as always 👍🦀
Another nice relaxing green mountain video to watch on a Friday evening. Great coin finds.....my favorite.
Love the videos, metal detecting is an awesome hobby, youll never know what your going to find.

A hundred years ago the hills were alive with the sound of music... lol

Brad, All good for many years watching this channel. It just stays interesting. Thanks !
Congratulations on finding a new untouched spot. Can't wait to see you clean out the rest of it!! Hopefully time allows you to get back there before the snows come!! My vote is your spot on with the butter knife blade. Thanks for taking us with you!!
Awesome finds!
great stuff thanks
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Another great video sir. Take care!
Definitely a fish knife my great grandmother had a set when I was growing up. Great relaxing video to watch while drinking my morning coffee. Thanks Brad.
Brad, I really enjoy the sound of your music in your introduction. I also appreciate you including bits of nature in your videos. Always am thrilled w all of your amazing finds!! Keep going and I'll keep watching🎶🎼🎸
Fantastic content!
Great finds!
Another great video, Brad.
hey Brad, Yes, this is a fish knife and it's very old, but I think you've already figured that out by now.
A thousand x a thousand x a thousand pieces are produced here.
We also inherited a set of twelve from our grandparents.
which we haven't even used yet because it's real silver with a bone handle we don't want to scratch it.
greetings from germany
your chanel is...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Brad totally addicted to your videos I've gone back and watched I think all you've ever put out in the past. Thank you so interesting so beautiful I look forward to Friday even more
What great finds. Woo hoo!
Wow Brad congratulations
On all your finds Ty for sharing
Some great finds. Congratulations
I think the tapered brass piece with the hole in it could be a screwdriver, I have some old ones similar to it, the end goes into a handle and a plug of sorts goes through the hole to hold it in place.
That was the piece that caught my eye too!
Love this channel! ❤❤❤
Great finds brad😊
Love the Drape Bust coins - awesome find!
Another Fine Video young man! I look forward to the Friday morning videos! Thank you for another one!!!
Very cool finds, Brad ! The item you referred to as an escutcheon I have heard called a “ rosette” for ‘bail’ pulls that were used on chippendale chests of drawers. Thanks for taking us along!
Wanted to say that I have been a follower for quite some time and I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks .
Butter Knife, just like the one I used to see at my Grandmother's table. Usually Silver. Neat find.
Great finds
Beautiful video
I always enjoy watching your videos
Great permission. ✌❤❤

TGIFAB. Thang God it’s Friday and Brad!

LFOD !
Great hunt and amazing finds God Bless and happy dirt fishing
Great to catch your video I’ve been way too busy with work. Nice to relax and watch your show and you do a great job putting it all together cheers🍻
Hi Brad. The straight brass item that you found looks like the wedge piece that would hold the barrel of a rifle/shotgun onto the stock. Keep the adventure going
Hey Brad. I always enjoy your channel. I think the knife is a butter knife. Great finds. You gotta go back. Have a great weekend with the family.👍😘🌻🍊🍂
Awesome finds brad! I think the small blade is from a butter knife. 🙂
My first thought about the Lady Liberty coin was... somebody's good luck piece. Now it's yours!
Awesome finds bro
Great Finds!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Great finds Brad, I love detecting and the history we unearth, it always makes me think who did it belong to, what is it doing here ,what is still here that we missed? Thanks for Sharing with us.
All in all great hunt Brad! Til next time, keep on digging...
Agree on butter knife. Antique or vintage.
Yup, a french butter knife. Probably originally coated silver plate ... with brass core.
Butter knife/fish knife, suggestion: First World War trench art letter opener. No tang because it would be set into a split bullet as a handle, oftentimes engraved with a battle site. The one I own has “Ypres” on it. Great video. Andy.
Hand box or squeeze box accordions are larger then a harmonica reed but smaller then a full/ regular size accordion reed , very cool find. 🪗
I think so too. Since I found parts of an harmonium organ and the reeds were smaller thick pieces of brass with one musical note etched on each one.
