I trek to the site of a secluded and forgotten homesite deep within the forested mountains of Vermont to dig for colonist treasure

The buckle @ 9:30 is a conway buckle patented in 1882. still common today on horse tack. this one was probably used on horse teams used for logging.
It is horse tack, it’s a bit . the part that goes in their mouth.
The wording on the side of the coin says one hundred for a dollar
What kind of detector do you use now?
Love your videos , request you show more old tools.
Saw the power line and thought I would mention that roads were cut through the area to build the lines.
I believe that your unknown item may either be the handle of an old cook pan or the handle of a rug beater. I still have a couple doubts though. So jealous of every wandering step you take.
What does the green on buttons and coins mean? And why no water spray?
SO HAPPY EVERYTHING COOL YOU FIND TO KEEP.
Just a suggestion…try to get some sots of stuff in sunlight instead of your shadow.
My guess @ 8:41. Is a rains guide for a horse drawn buggy. Just a guess.
That is a snaffle bit.
You have a colonial buckle with leather still in it?!?! Cool
Another great video from yesterday, kinda
Where was the horse bit in the final reveal? Or was it from a giant’s Gucci loafer?
The English have long used rock walls to separate properties, so it would not be unusual to see them in New England, which was settled by those of predominately English ancestry. It is amazing those one cent pieces still exist, considering how we treat pennies, today. It just goes to show our ancestors had a lot more pennies than dollars.
called a snaffle bit for training horses.
Maybe part of a weather vane.
cistern
Dig beater!
Snapple bit
Interesting. So much horse equipment. The buckle with leather still in it is a design that is still used on some things. The strap adjustment is a pin through a hole rather than a tongue like other buckles.
Part of the bit and rains the leather was attached to the rings and the bar went into the horses mouth really cool.
You may have already figured it out. I wonder if the odd piece may be from the framework of a collapsible top of a horse buggy.
Butter churn
Swivel bit for horses !
Your metal two ring find is a horses bit,it goes in the horses mouth for direction and to hold him back or stop him and to steer. Just in case your not a horse person.
The thing with two rings with the swivel in the middle is a snaffle bit for a horse bridle.
do you swing the metal detector on the trail in do right side of trail(road) in right side coming out; may have lost a lot of things coming and going?
Spending time great job! Thumbs 🆙. 👍
Jesus, I feel old. Am I the only person still alive that rode horses with snaffle bits? Mine were stainless steel with brass mouth pieces…but still. I do remember them in use in all iron though. My grandfather used bits just like the one you found on draft horses and mules. I remember looking at them hanging in the barn and thinking, "that rust must taste nasty as #%&@."
Yep in Australia egg bit
t . A ( good horses the slimmer what goes between there teeth the meaner the horse or the owner ecg
Binge watching your channel. I am hooked and fascinated! Enjoying your style, your incredible ability to find old cellars and crumbling down stone walls, and your knowledge of what you’re finding. I have such detecting fever again now!
Horse bit
Great spot and cool finds.
You deserve a larger audience.

hey man im from australia, i love you videos. super cool chilled vibe. i love it.
That sort of look like the part of the saddle before the stirrup, I that round band went over the leather and the pin went through to hold the stirrup on just saying they can get pretty fancy for some of the tack I have seen before.
That horse tacked you found is a snaffle bit. It is an easy bit on a horse, as compared to a hackamore.
As relates to the unfired .22RF shells. A lot of kids with early eme automatic .22 rifles had misfires with them. Also on tubular fed weapons kids would pull the tube out and dump the remaining shells into their hands and would loose a few when they did this because it was verboten to bring a loaded rifle into the house. Also since .22 shells were cheap they would often just empty their rifles on the ground before going home. When I was a boy, a box cost 20 cents for shorts, 25 cents for longs and 30 cents for long rifle. Kids mostly shot shorts and longs but I shot long rifles with their 36 grain bullets.
That buckle with the leather still in it is a Conway buckle used in horse tack. They use them on the 1” straps of a breast collar etc., they make the straps adjustable and lay nice and flat, small Conway buckles connect the front and back cinch under the horses belly with a leather 3/4 or 5/8” strap. Probably not very old, I have new ones shaped exactly like it on my horse tack.
Of course every time you dig up coins I have to go to google and find the price,all I can say is I’m jealous,but I have wanted a metal detector as far back as I can remember,and when I go to get one I’ll ask you for a little guidance
Great find Brad I found 2 of them just barely identifiable one was a 1795 🙁
I envy and admire you. I’m an old man now, but how I wish I could be with you. Thanks for doing what you’re doing, and don’t stop, please, lol….
The "peculiar shaped metal thing" with the ‘ring’ on it that you found, is likely the back portion of a curry comb… although you probably already know this by now. =) – Dave
What a great find.
The 22 shells might have had dead primers in them. Look for a firing pin strike mark. Still take care the powder is still good.
the buckle at the end is the buckle on a headstall. probably what your bit was attached to. You know your coins and buttons pretty good, but you need to study up on horse tack. I died laughing when you weren’t sure on another video that you had a spur.
That piece you thought was horse tack on the surface IS indeed an old O ring Snaffle bit for a horse.
Definitely the four wheeler next time but I thought the buckle with the leather still in it was a cool find.
