- On this adventure I metal detect the ruins of a home up in the mountains and find an amazing piece of American history which was very likely thrown away in frustration.

Not a syringe but an Air Pump used on old Coleman table lamps to pressurize the fuel tank. They later built the pump into the tank but early ones before 1930 used the separate pump like the one you found.
Yes, you are correct. These lamps are the ones with the mantles. Our's hung from the ceiling and was not at all decorative.
With all the clock and watch pieces that you have found, I believe that the home owner was a repair person and that the syringe you found was for oiling the works.
Agree repair person!!!
I was thinking the same thing. A Time piece tinker
Clock maker
That's what I was thinking.
I was also thinking this..
My mother, who I've been caring for for 2 years, just passed away. I've been watching your videos now for about a year. I even watched them with my mom. She was 96, and actually recognized some of the items you would find 😊. So now that I have time, I purchased myself a metal detector! I live in the Berkshires, so I'm so excited to start my journey into a new hobby! Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to. And for your amazing videos!
God Bless you your mom. Dirt fishing is the best, it clears your mind of everything and is the best way to take a walk in the woods : )
Hi, good for you. I wish you happy hunting. Your Mom as your Angel now, you never know what you may find. ❤ Joyce🙏🇺🇸🌹
Good for you ...having your mom for so long! Have fun metal detecting now!
Hi, jen ...I 'm also in the Berkshire Mtn. region and have been metal detecting for over 50 years, own about 3 or 4 machines all paid for themselves through the treasures that I have unearthed, currently living in Dutchess County, N.Y. and retired.
God bless you and may your memories of your mom comfort you and remind you of her love. Enjoy your metal detecting!
I've been watching this channel for a couple years and look forward to new posts every Friday. I also love watching the older ones, too. This is the best metal detecting channel I've come across. I absolutely love everything about it, including the music written by Brad himself, the multiple camera angles, the wildlife shots, and all the info on his finds. I'm unable to hike or metal detect myself, but living vicariously through these videos makes me so happy! Thank you, Brad! (and occasional guests, too.) You are a man of many talents and I wish you the best!
Brad is very comfortable talking to the camera. His content is well planned and edited. Audio and video are perfect. He is confident in his knowledge and humble about what he doesn't know.
Maybe they went through so many clocks and watches because they were going through some HARD TIMES 😂
About 100 years ago, my great-grandmother lived up on a mountain in Okanagan County in Washington State. Her closest neighbor was a sibling of President Hurbert Hoover. We celebrated her 100th birthday the same year as the County's 100th birthday. Just thought you might find that interesting.
This was a good one, Great finds and a pleasure to "watch" as always !!
At 7:54, I think that's the bell clapper. It appears to be an alarm clock.
Friday morning never fails to entertain at GMMD , hope to see you again next week!
👍😊 😁 they were just killing time 🤷♂️.
My maiden name is Ball, and I have a little collection of Ball jars. That little jar is great! Love the color.
Always a great video but most importantly you take us away from this crazy world we live in. Thanks for sharing.
Right after the Herbert Hoover token, when you found the broken crock pot, you said "I've always wanted to find a complete crock." That struck me as funny. "Good for 4 years of prosperity" is what my dad would have referred to as "a complete crock..." 😂
Hahahahaha...timing IS everything!
Nice finds, Brad. I’m pretty sure the iron base you found is the base to a “ banquet oil lamp.” I do think the cherub part you found may have been the ‘stem’ between the base and the decorative part that held the kerosene. The clock and watch parts are really cool too! ( did you leave the lid behind on your blue glass canning jar?)
Very interesting finds today.
Veterinary syringe? Horses, sheep, cows
Bicycle pump.
That Hoover Token has got to be the coolest find ever in the history of detectorists! Okay...well, top 3! ;) What a Treasure.
Wow Brad that was a awesome video with all the time pieces. Time will only tell why so many were lost
Awesome! Watch faces were usually made with glass. During the traditional dial-making process, a copper disc was used as the substrate for the dial. Enamel paste was then brushed on the back of the dial and enamel powder was applied to the front. As the dial was heated face-up, the enamel melted to produce a brilliant white glossy material.
Hi Brad, again. I think the large base is from an oil lamp, likely a nice decorative one.
one of my favorite metal detecting youtubers.........each episode is a time traveling movie.........best wishes from Greece
Keep up the good work Brad. Look forward every Friday and your video. I miss it up there. I used to live in NH and worked in Lebanon. Watching your vids reminds me of how beautiful it is up there.
Another great video Brad, keep it up.
What a phenomenal hunt! I have yet to find a 3 merry widows tin. I love the Hoover coin. I enjoy finding off the wall different items for sure. Thanks Brad!!
There's a good chance that watch face came from a railroad watch. Railroad watches were required to have Arabic numerals rather than Roman numerals and it also appears to have had a second hand. Nice find!
Waltham Watch was a big deal. My mother (1926-2021) used to talk about it. They were based in Waltham, MA. One of my ancestors used to work there. They were the main supplier for railroad timepieces for decades, so yeah, I think you're right.
Stumbled upon your videos a few weeks ago and I’m hopelessly addicted to them now. 😂Once I start watching them I keep going to another and another,etc. I’m clearly hooked. Loved todays as well. That broken bottle you found that had Hoosic on it is where I flyfish. Cool stuff Brad! Keep it going !
Another great show. Thank you!
Someone probably chucked that 4 years of prosperity token out of anger.
Nice work Brad!!!!
MYSTERY ITEM: It reminds me of a grease pump that might have been used for lubricating the roller-nose of a chain saw blade. Not as old as one would like. I had a similar one that I bought during the 1960s for a Remington saw I owned.
It is an air pump for a gas lantern probably early Coleman.
What a day for amazing, unique finds!
I don’t know if you have done this on older videos since I’m newer here, but it’d be cool for a little tour of how you have these items displayed in your home. Maybe as a filler after a detecting video.
The pocket watch is from (Walth ham). A city in Massachusetts. The company was at one point one of the sole watch/clock companies in the U.S.
The Waltham Watch Company, also known as the American Waltham Watch Co. and the American Watch Co., was a company that produced about 40 million watches, clocks, speedometers, compasses, time delay fuses, and other precision instruments in the United States of America between 1850 and 1957. The company's historic 19th-century manufacturing facilities in Waltham, Massachusetts have been preserved as the American Waltham Watch Company Historic District.
*WIKIPEDIA*
American pocket watches were known to be the best in the world, and wrist watches the Swiss were the best.
@@stubstoo6331 yes. I know very little about any of them. I only know what little I do, because my manager collects pocket watches. He has a large collection of Waltham pocket watches & works on them himself. I my self know very little to nothing about them. They intrigue me, but I have not gone down that rabbit hole yet.
Pretty cool artifacts, Brad! Keep on digging...
I have a complete Waltham pocket watch that was my Great grandfather's from the early 1900's plated in 14k gold. Has the same face as the one you've dug I believe. Also, that's definitely a cast iron lamp base.
You might have mentioned this in another video. Back then, there wasn’t garbage collection. It’s probably not unusual to find a dump beside or near every old homestead. I lived in a farm for many years. There was a midden at the back of the property where we found all kinds of glass, metal, and other old artifacts.
The syringe looks a lot like an old Coleman pump for the early lanterns, seems to be the size of the one I have.
It looked like some type of piston, to me. I think we are on the same page.
I thought it looked like a dispenser for paste wormer for livestock.
Definitely a lantern or lamp pump from the early 1900s I have several that I use on my early coleman lamps and lanterns
I have found the 3 Merry Widow tins with Fifty Cents instead of 1$. Maybe they worked so well they raised the price.
Inflation 😂
That cherub went to the decorative base you found. It was an old table oil lamp. The font sat on top of the cherub.
Great video! As a child my grandmother and mother worked for a local lady who lived in a remodeled 1800's home and in the original log part of the structure she had an antique and very ornate fireplace hardware stand with all the tools. That cast iron base is very reminescent of that set I remember seeing many times as a child. Maybe????
Good morning from Copperhill Tn.
12:57 I dug a large plunger like this that has Morgan & Wright Chicago around the cap. The plunger part is barbed and I found out it was a pneumatic tire pump. Morgan and Wright had the first bicycle tire that used air from my research. Wish I could post a picture to show you but it is very similar to yours
Thank you Brad for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and amazing finds !
The Herbert Hoover campaign token is a great find.. Yea the 4 yr. prosperity on the obverse is irony.. but my grandfather said he was the best prisident this country ever had and also many others his age said the same thing... Im old myself but not that old.. He was 91 when he past. This was in 1997... love the history in all that stuff..
That token is definitely trying to tell you something Brad, Probably was the appropriate time to find it!
let's go let's go treasure✌👵
I looked up the 3 Merry Widows REUSABLE condoms. Well that’s something I didn’t need to know. Thanks for the videos
Someone my have already recognized your syringe as a brining needle. It would have been used to inject brine into meat to preserve it. I found one last year at an old homesite marked Morton Salt Company Meat Pump. Great finds Love your channel.
You should check out the 100% complete 1901 waltham railroad pocket watch I found next to turn of the century trolly tracks used to run.... I think finding a complete pocket watch is more rare than finding a gold coin....
Good luck finding one with the glass still intact.. got one i bought and broke it several yrs. later..
Hello Brad, that appears to be a Waltham Railroad Porcelain Dial Pocket Safety Pinion Watch made circa 1897. Cool find! I really enjoy your videos. No crazy music, or fluff. I like that you take your time and really show us what you find regardless if it is a great find or not. Keep up the great work!
A medical syringe would have a glass body so marks could be inscribed for measuring the dose. Grease guns don't need measurements.
Love the pocket watch pieces and the clock parts as well
The imagination runs wild.
I own a Waltham watch and live near the old Waltham factory. They were once the premier watchmakers in the US.
15:45 i have found that exact chunk of statue in an old 1800's dump
Awesome video brad thank you so very much for sharing hope you have a wonderful weekend 👍👍❤️
That Wrought Iron Pedestal could have been for a Kerosene Lamp or some other light Fixture piece.
what you call the Syringe, is an air pump to pressure up the old style white gas, naptha gas lanterns, the type that used the mantels. usually, a household had a few lanterns, put only one pressuring pump.
Brad, be sure you find the proverbial "crock of stuff". We use to joke with my cousins when carrying the honey pot to the outhouse in the morning. That possible syringe is very real sizing. Had an old dose of penicillin long ago where it was that size. Also could be vet size for draft animals. Also remember dentists using all metal ones for Novocaine as they did not want to use glass in the mouth. They would fill it and do eight to ten sticks out of one fill just to numb the whole mouth.
Totally agree on the Hoover token. Most folks forget that he was in charge when the collapse happened yet his name is on the Hoover Dam that opened the west to population boom. That was one heck of a depression era jobs program.
Beautiful area for detecting. Excellent video... Thank you for sharing
Poor Herbert - such big dreams and they came crashing down around him. Ah, well, such is life, I suppose. On occasion. Anyway, I think the iron cap is the prettiest find. The clock face was a "wow" for me. Do you think finding all those clock parts might be a message being relayed to you about the importance of time in your life? Hmmm. Going back a few more times sounds like a good idea. Oh, I spotted a good puzzle in there among the shots of your surroundings as well - the tree stumps towards the end. Thanks for sharing your work.
I think it's an alarmclock.😊🍁🍂🍁
Could the cherub be a holder for a candle?
Brad, rhat piece that you found at 12 minutes, or so in, is a plunger for a mantle gas lantern. I have one someplace that belonged to my father-in-law. We have the lantern and plunger around here somewhere. If I can put my hands on it I'll send you a photo. It is the only one I have ever seen where the plunger is not directly attached to the tank.
Hey Brad nice video. The mason jar and crock could be next to where the root cellar was?
Awesome bits of History in this one! I look forward to the end of the week every week! Green Mountain Metal Detecting on Fridays, Mason Merc Metal Detecting on Saturdays! Brad Let us know when you want to come over to New Hampshire and pound some cellar holes with us, we are 3 hours from you. Last weekend we dug with your old friends Jim and Kendall. Awesome job and another great video as always! Tons of pocket watch pieces! My favorite piece is the Herbert Hoover political token!
Back in the day they would reuse them 3 merry widows! They just turned them inside out lol!!😅😅😅
Jokes aside great hunt and good luck on the next!
The arm sticking out of the clock works is hammer for a chime or bell
The handle you were uncertain about is most likely a bell striker for the alarm.
That old plunger thing you found could be a syringe.. Use to be made out of metal to vlean and reuse.. but had glass also. But that probably broken yrs.ago...
Brandon from Adventure Archaeology would love dig for old bottles ! He's in Alabama and has a channel on here ! I watch his videos also !
They use to call some of those cheap Pocket watches bullseyes because they always stopped working so they would shoot them full of holes
It’s not a syringe. It’s an air pump to pump up a gas lamp or lantern. The Amish still use them. I dug one similar a few years back
Is the 'lever' on the first clock, the hammer for an alarm bell?
We should be passing out those Brandon tokins now.
the figure and base are parts of a fancy table lamp, my pretty sure guess
at 12'00 I'm guessing a hand pump for a Coleman type pressure gas lantern or lamp. Later on they became built in the lantern
Always enjoy watching your videos. Love the shots around the forest showing the different plants and such as well as the streams and springs from the areas you search. Keep up the wonderful videos. I also so enjoy the music you provide especially for the videos. Thank you.
hammer on the clock is for the chime
At 8:00 wind up nightstand alarm clock, it the alarm clapper that hits an also attached bell..
Looks like a lamp base to me. I bet the cherub goes with the cast iron lamp base. All those time pieces was strange/amazing. Love the watch face. The Hoover coin told a story.
Joe is right. I have several old items with these pretty bases-- lamps, candlesticks, a vanity mirror.
My first thought was vanity mirror base. There was one on my mom's dresser that was just like Brad"s.
Let’s go with the 1930’s Super Soaker! 😂
The lever on the clock piece might be the clapper
That one item looks like a screen door closer.
Great hunt my friend love that ball mason jar and the oil lamp base
Being a fan of irony,this token is gold!!!
Hey Brad. Awesome video as always. I really like those pocket watches and the way cool merry widows tin lid and the president Hoover token and the other relics too.
Tip for pocket watch face plates... the winding knob and opening button were commonly positioned at the 3 o'clock position for right handed persons. This is so you can pull out the watch with your right hand and press the opening buttton with your right thumb. They could also position the watch with the opening button at the 9 o'clock position for left handed persons. Or it could be at the 12 o'clock position. Just depends on personal preference.
That pocket watch face would be amazing if it was porcelain... the expensive ones made of gold were porcelain
Hey Brad...I always enjoy watching you unearth cool artifacts.
Seems like a pocket watch dumping ground. I think the clock movement & 4 yrs of Prosperity are my favorite pieces. Great video as always. 🤙🏼
Agnes,Becky, and Mabel were their names!
I’m of the,”nothing happens without a reason” and the predictable result of the coins promise and the reality of what really happened. Let’s pray that history doesn’t repeat itself, God Bless you for taking us along and reminding us of our past history, the good and the bad!
It is odd to find all of the time pieces but very cool. Many treasure opportunities at that spot. I do hope you return for some bottle digging! Well done, Brad!
Great video. When you say hiked up into the woods, are you on private land with permission or on national forest or state forest land?
Love your videos. You find the 😎 coolest stuff
Pretty amazing finds on this adventure. You should take the lid for that mason jar. Weird to find so many pocket watch parts. Maybe a repair place for watches? Hmmmm
The syringe look a lot like a ole Colman lantern pump. Back then it was a separate piece and not attached to the lantern like newer ones are.
Nice interesting finds!!
The piece that looks like a top for a stove might actually be the base of a clock where a glass globe fit onto.
It's a grease gun commonly used for a chainsaw bar tip
