Bridle rosette, although an ornament, adornment to a bridle, also serves the purpose of keeping the browband from slipping down the crownpiece of a bridle.
That spoon is big but can you imagine the person able to bite the end off of it. 🤣
There was no handle on the silver spoon, it’s common even today silverware handles are turned into rings. The rings is probably in a jewelry box that’s been passed down for generations.
I appears to be a measuring spoon.
Brad great day for you young man awesome fines thank you for your video 👍🛐🙏
How do you find these places and know all the history of them?
Can you please attribute recovered items as non binary. I have been face down in the dirt most of my life, taken the knee on plenty of occasions and know the difference between male and female mushrooms when i see an edible one
Nice hunt Brad I really enjoy your videos keep them coming. 🇺🇸
Brad are you from India? 😂
Enjoyed the video well done on the finds
I’m surrounded by old sheep walls here in bristol. Great idea
Brad get some waterproof boots
Nice button haul Brad … and congrats on that silver spoon bowl and escutcheon ⚒
Murphy’s Laws of shooting YouTube. lol
Could the large spoon be used for spooning lead into a form?
Congrats on the 100,000 subs! Your videos are always so enjoyable and educational…thanks Brad!
How old is that hat?
Please! Never… Never rub a coin with your finger that you pull out of the ground!!
Rinse it with water or beer or milk or some kind of liquid. Pee on it or something. But do not rub the thing with all that grit on it!!…. ever!! I mean… do not do it!! I mean rinse it off in a milkshake it that is all you got!!
Brad, I got a no print or blank penny today from Walmart Colorado! Lol Seriously cool to me as I’m always picking up pennies and dimes but I found a blank copper penny. 🥰✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
I had read a little about the 1830’s but not much was said about locally made coins. You’re teaching a lot of history and wetting my curiosity about the past.
Ya, I see it as a big zit 😛
I’m waiting for you to get a treasure chest
Holed coins were sometimes the result of international trade whereby the coin was fashioned into jewelry by persons of a different culture for a time then accepted back in future trade.
Shut up Nd hunt
Entertaining as always, thank you for your efforts.
Nice treasures!!!
I wish you didn’t point out the dirt spot, I didn’t even notice it until then. Lol Now it’s all I look and think about. 😂. Cool stuff I just subscribed.
I know meteorites are rare, but have you heard of anyone finding one with a metal detector ?
Who thought about the stone wall and obsidian in Shawshank Redemption ?
Just renovating a barn on my 19th century farm and I found the same handle laying on a sill plate. Found an 1837 Hard Times token a few weeks ago too.
I love a good treasure hunt! “Any experience can be an adventure and every wonder a treasure!” Author Melinda Riley
I live in Weymouth ma and it’s n old old city well used to be a town and lots of those walls I might have to invest in a metal detector. I’m getting my 2 nd hip replacement and I don’t know about the digging but I’m sure I could figure out a system idk looks like fun
Wouldn’t it be something if someone threw that coin in the air and shot it with a 22. The 22 long rifle was invented in 1884. Probably they just needed a washer but shooting it is so much more romantic.
It’s not distracting when you work around Indians with bindi marks on their foreheads. Nemaste!
The repaired drawer pull is incredible. What a personal story touch on that find!
Stone walls are honey holes. In Washington state I hit old homesteads. Alot of times all that is left is a few apple trees maybe a few lilac bushes or a bunch of daffodils. I start looking for sink holes which are root cellars or the outhouse. Be very careful though, sinkholes can be wells or a mine holes also. Cool video.
The hole in your large cent was not drilled. Most likely heated and a horse shoe punch.
The coin with a hole is a tax coin. I’ve got a bunch of em
The Rosette looks to me as a decorative piece that would be a horse bit on each side of the mouth.
Boring. LESS TALK
Does the land owner ever want a pc. of what you find?
Cool
You know if you didn’t point out the dirt I wouldn’t keep focusing on it lol
New sub ! Liked ❤️✌️😀
Good finds, we have many many stone walls here in massachusetts, Good post. Thumbs up & I subscribed
I laughed so hard with the introduction of the dirt speck 😂😂😂
Years ago. When a young couple, got married. And got a cabin or house. It was considered to be good luck, to nail a new penny , over the door.
Grandpa said it costs three cents for a washer and the penny was the same size so they drilled a hole in the penny
I’m a carpenter and I’ve found old coins as a washer several times
Are you a Vermonter? It’s interesting.
