Brad, whenever you straighten an old item, heat it with a torch to anneal it, and it won't break. I've fixed some pretty crushed items like thimbles and stuff heating it. Heat until it just glows, no need to go crazy. That's a fun day you had there.
Thanks Jay, I would rather keep the patina intact
@@GMMD I can appreciate that.
I used to anneal pin heads for injection molds when they came back from heat treating. I haven't thought about my time in the metal shop in 30 years!
I was just thinking that.
Thanks, Chief.
I have seen those letter openers before. It came in a set with the quill and ink well, it dated back to mid 1700s. Great find man.
Stunning to find how Old something found can be, yes?
The letter opener is quite beautiful, congrats on the great find.
I believe that's a letter opener because that decoration at the top looks like a big fluffy feather that they would put on old quill pens. Also Hair pins were always round like chop sticks and smaller, never flat. Awesome finds too.
The ladies of Northern Mudlarks channel would love the things you found today.
Brad, your commentary and description of the treasure you find makes your videos great. I look forward to Friday for that reason. Chill Bill can tell a story also, hope he is back full time soon. Thanks for sharing with us!
It's a quill feather on the letter opener. How lovely! 🤩
Brad fantastic video. What a beautiful location. I think that is a letter opener. Love the buttons, a great place to keep returning to. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Those tags are used just as you described. They are sometimes called chits which is an English word that basically means a promise to pay or a check. They were also used in mining to keep track of who was in the mine. A local hunting club uses them to keep track of who is on what stand. In all of those cases, that number would be a single individual. When used to keep track of who was issued what equipment, like in a prison, a worker would carry several chits with the same number. He would get it back when he returned the equipment. Thanks
We call tickets (the ones that come through with orders on them) "chits" in the professional kitchen too.
My vote is a letter opener. Nice finds Brad!
what a find, that letter opener is beautiful! so many cool finds.
Your theory on the "25" and "71" tags is more than likely correct. Tags for employee OR! a piece of machinery. Case in point- I drove trucks for 40 years. 34 with same company. We were issued keys with tags VERY similar to your 2 for trucks we drove. Brass tags with stamped #s on them. I still have 3 or 4 of them, so, in the future when perhaps my or your grandkids are metal detecting around my ole homestead- they'll find them! Haha! Great video Brad! As always......
Great finds , I love the beauty of old things they just don’t make things the way they use too. Really enjoyed your video.
I'm going with the letter opener, looks like a high end letter opener. Nice finds Brad. Thanks for sharing. Take care
I agree with you koslund11. It is a letter opener, I have several in different sizes, yet most times use a pen to open a letter. A hat pin is thinner so a woman can put it through the hair and her hair.
Iris Waterford ... As a woman, fascinated with history thru my grandma & great aunt ... I can't picture a woman, taking the chance of cutting her hair by using this piece in it. Letter opener for sure.
@@tarafoley6030 yes a hat pin can be pierced through hat and hat, or weaved through if you have fine hair.
Wow Brad that is a great find..love that opener 👏 👌 🙌 👍
I found some similar tags in an old mining town in Montana. An old timer identified them as Miner's tags. Kind of an ID badge. They had to hang them up on a board when they came out of the mine so they could make sure everyone was out at the end of the day.
I’m so grateful to you for posting this information…. I was hoping someone would. Thank you 🙏
Definitely a letter opener. I’ve actually found a letter opener detecting before. Odd but very fun find. Nice work, Brad.
Nice finds Brad..Thanks for taking us along.😊
Love your program. I am 73, probably one of your older viewers, but please don't take it wrong, but you and some of your friends are truly hot. Just because I am oldI can appreciate all things that are attractive. That includes your scenery. I used to live in northern NH, so your woods remind me of the area. Keep up the good work!
Great finds. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
It was a great metal detecting day! Love your videos!!!
Cool, because of people like you we can find out more about our ancestors. Love treasure and artefact hunting.
Brad, a good day on the hunt .. The letter opener / Hair Comb Stay is particularly nice, as is the glass bead .. Thanks for showing and reminding me of the "monochromatic" color of early Spring in Vermont .. Soon to be wonderful, multiple shades of Spring Green spreading across the landscape and mountain sides .. You never let us, your viewers, down with your clear narration, your extensive varied knowledge of all the artifacts that you discover when you're out on the hunt .. Thanks for sharing.
I have found only 1 letter opener in my 8 years detecting. Yours is super beautiful Brad!
Brad congratulations on all those great finds. Love watching your videos and thank you for sharing…
Tags may have been for post boxes. The bend in the letter opener may be by design. Imagine a letter flat on the desk and the angle would make easier to use if you were sitting, so don't straighten it before you do a little research. Great video Brad, Thank you.
Hi Brad, love your work and videos very much! That letter opener looks to me like it has two or three symbols of New Zealand - the tree fern and the tiki - a tiki In Māori mythology is the first man created and looks like the symbol from which the fern leaf starts. The decoration down the blade looks also like native tribal symbols and design. You may be detecting the house of a whaler or sailor as a fellow like that would surely live on a site with water views like your detecting. Could be wrong but curious mix of related symbols and design there. Do some googling on my suggestions. Cheers From Vic in Brisbane, Australia
Thank you for saying this! As a New Zealander, I practically fell off my chair and started yelling at Brad that thats a New Zealand Item 100% No doubt about it!
Wow Brad your finds are awesome congratulations love your videos
boom 💥 Friday is hear hope weel has gone well cracking job as well looking forward to the next 👍
That kind of hunt is usually a fun one. Nice letter opener, too!! Stunning!!
Hi there Brad I believe those are sheep tags. That's what we used on our farm. And you kept saying the site was an old farm.
Hauntingly beautiful sound is the loon's call. Also that of a train whistle way off in the distance. Two of my favorite sounds!
Cool area to hunt for treasure. Very neat letter opener. Thanks Brad for taking us along with you.
Bits and pieces of history! Fascinating!
Definitely a letter opener Brad, awesome find!
Great place to hunt! Thankyou for showing us.
Just found your channel….everything is so enjoyable to watch. Your commentary is so calming….glad I found your channel and I’ve subscribed.
Awesome video Brad. Thanks for taking us with you.
I like the letter opener and I can identify with your urge to straighten it out. Just drives you nuts, doesn't it?!! Love your video's and I'm glad winter is over so that you can get back out there.
That is such a wonderful place with a great history. Great finds.
Great hunt .Always a pleasure to watch pal thanks for taking us along !
Working my way backwards in videos here, glad I started watching again 😊
Great hunt!!! The letter opener is gorgeous!!
Hey Brad, great video, as usual,, lol I think I recognize the tube you showed in the wrapup as the inner tube to a powder measure, for a blackpowder type maybe a musket. Keep up the great vids.
Kind of neat that it sits under water most of the year and you make it back for a revisit during its window of opportunity. I always love finding marbles when out detecting … bonus! 💥
Nice finds Brad! Letter opener is awesome!
I'm headed out to an old German submarine base from the 40s here in Fl. Wish me luck
Wow, at last a bead!!! I've never dug one myself but I'm super glad to see you find one. The new music is nice toon
What an amazing place. I’m headed to Vermont in a few weeks to hunt for treasure with some friends. Love the fancy letter opener. Another great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Some nice relics on the day Brad. That letter opener is sweet. Lots of buttons and a sweet bead. Plus an IHP. Happy hunting and be well
The letter opener is a beauty. It looks like a museum piece! Love the buttons and tags!💖
Nice finds , I enjoyed the video , Thanks for sharing with us.
Sincerely, thank you very much (reflection).
We appreciate you greatly (family).
Be blessed, you and yours (Brad).
Great tour of the lake at low water level l THANK YOU!
I think, LETTER OPENER ! 😁 Just LOVELY !!! ❤
Hey, Brad. Loved the video of your finds. My favourites are the letter opener and the glass bead. It's too bad you have to wait another year. I bet there are even more interesting objects yet to discover. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Exciting place. Black buttons and beads usually mean a time of mourning was present.
Fantastic hunt Brad! Enjoyed you going over some of the items you spotted on the surface too!
Finding a place like that would make me want to pitch a tent and continue detecting for as long as time would allow!
Brad, your content is always interesting and well put together. Thanks for bringing us along!!
I appreciate that!
New music sounds great! I'm always impressed when people can find good stuff along rivers - my experience has always been that they are littered with modern trash and layers of silt/ debris from years of flooding. Nice work!
Thanks Ben!
I have never mentioned how bad ass your intro music is. You are inspiring in many ways Brad Martin. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks Joe!
Terrific letter opener, nice buttons, IHP and relics👋👍
Cool finds. I enjoy following you. Have a happy Easter weekend.
Brad early on in the video you were looking at surface finds and tossed a small rod like thing. You said not sure what that is.. Briefly seen but could be a corset hook or crochet hook. Well done always enjoyable.
Love this hunt. Great finds!
So glad i found your chanel. Ive been binge watching for houurrs
Nice finds Brad,I truly dig your videos.
Letter opener is gorgeous!
In Sweden older powerlineposts hade taggs like yours.
Happy easter to you and your family.
I was watching the English Antiques Roadshow and they said that ferns were very popular in Victorian England (1850s to the (1890s) and they appeared on everything from pottery to gravestones.
That letter opener is interesting. The Fern is of course New Zealand and the section below the fern looks like a stylized Maori face. Maybe from someone who emigrated? Great location.
congrats Brad on finding those awesome finds especially the ornate letter opener
The graduated cylinder could be one of two things depending on how large it is. First of all, it could be a powder measure for reloading pistol shells. It appears to be too small for most hunting rifles. If it's much smaller than that it could possibly be a measure for dosages of medicine either for humans or for farm animals. Home remedies often came in bulk jars and required measurement to get the proper dosage.
8: 24 - Letter opener. Exquisite!
Nice find, Brad.
I haven't watched since you were in France.
Awesome letter opener 👌 👏 I love it!
Nice finds Brad. The letter opener may have come with a slightly cranked handle so it would sit up on the desk so you could grasp it easier to pick it up.
LOVE THE LETTER OPENER❤️
Nice hunting spot friend. Got out the other day with my cheapie treasure pro and hit a couple stone walls, always finding odd made farming tools mostly, maybe a black powder bullet or two. ✌🏼💚 from the southern part of the state.
Congrats Brad!! 🎉
Very interesting! 💕👵
I look forward to Friday and seeing what you find! Always fascinating!
IMHO, you nailed it, letter opener and it is fabulous!
Great new music.
The new music is absolute 🔥
Love your videos and music. I expect to see you on the Discovery Channel someday.
Thanks for all of your posts I find them fascinating, especially the rang of objects an history. Barry, United Kingdom
Love the new guitar intro
Enjoy your video's I used to live in Vermont way up by Quebec border
Yeah "71" my birth year. Yes I'm old. Lol
I know how good you are at research. Maybe you have an old map of homesteads. That is so cool to have the opportunity to check this area.
In my town they lowered one of our 3 rivers during a huge tunnel project. I found some really cool things while the river was low. It used to be the main way to travel into Fort Wayne in the 1800s.
Great finds!
The letter opener is gorgeous!
Nice finds ! Love the letter opener 👍
That's a awesome find !!!!!
Very interesting video. Thanks for posting. (UK).
thanks for the wonderful video!
New subscriber and I love your videos. You have a perfect story teller or radio announcer voice!
Wow I love that letter opener!
Am I missing something? A bicycle bell now a crappy letter opener. Fabulous!
Amazing finds!
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Seem to remember some dairy cows in the pastures circa early 70's had round, brass, numbered ear tags.
Just a thought.
After the great flood of '27, quite a few reservoirs were built to control the watersheds. Whole farming communities were flooded.
Always wonder what lurks beneath while fishing in those locations.
Would this be considered your first mudlarking video!? I really enjoyed this! Thanks again Brad for so masny hours of entertainment!
Hey there Mr. Brad. Lots of interesting surface stuff there. I like picking the top mostly because that's what I did as a kid. I was always looking at the ground finding pieces of glass, cool little rocks, bird eggs, stuff like that. The only place I actually dug was in a huge ditch that ran alongside one of the houses we lived in when I was a kid. Now that was a cool place, lots of little seashells there. I thought that was a marble too when you first showed it but a bead is neat too. I think that fancy stickpin/letter opener was for a hair decoration. My mom had something similar that went through a large tortoise shell comb that she had for years. Ladies with long hair often used those to decorate their updo's back in the day. Anyway, if you find out exactly what it is please let us know. Thank you for sharing your fun with us.
