Out of the many Metal detecting channels on UA-cam....Yours is the best. You speak eloquently. Good cinematography. Great views. Good editing. Knowledge of History. Most of us who do watch on the west coast, can only imagine what it would be like to hold something from early America in there hands. Great Channel
Hello friends.. present to witness the fun of hunting hidden treasures.. best of luck always.. greetings from the digger of Indonesian natural resources...👍🙏⚒️❤️🇮🇩
Brad, I think the item you found right after the Indian Head cent was part of a winding mechanism that would fold down flush to the back of the clock or whatever item it wound. Keep up the fantastic video work!
Great as always. The brass piece with two screw holes could be a part to a rifle sling, the part that screws to the stock. Enjoy your fall . . . what's left of it. Here in Missouri some of the trees are just now changing leaf colors.
Swamp root was a common curative concoction made from the root of the Lizard tail or Dragons tail plant that grew, appropriately, in swamps. Native Americans used it to treat swellings. That whistle may still work if you put it up to your lips and blow, as into a tube or bottle. It may have been for working dogs. I have seen similar used for sheep dogs. Always enjoy the videos.
You could still purchase “Swamp Root” about 40 years ago. I know because I had (May still have-somewhere) a new bottle in the box. I used to have it on a shelf of my medical office. I never tasted it.
Kilmer's Swamp Root was "brewed" right here in my home town, Binghamton NY. The building that Kilmer used for production is still standing and is now a restaurant called Remlik's (Kilmer spelled backwards).
@@danwilliams5074 I have seen those Kilmer bottles. Must have been popular stuff. Isn't that the Carousel place too? My wife loves carousels! Thanks for the good info!
4:09 The part with two holes is flat on the back and the holes are beveled on the opposite side for wood screws to set down in. Then the ball part has a hole through it at ninety degrees to the wood screws. One use I saw for this was in my childhood at the grand parents farm house kitchen. several of those along the top of the window at the sink about two foot apart and had a cord strung though the holes and lightweight panels of cotton curtains between the brackets. The cord was just knotted at both end brackets so they would not slip back through the hole without being untied.
I was thinking the two holes looked like they were meant for wood screws and then envisioned it being used for some sort of pulley system or string. I went in search for a comment. Thank you, yours is an awesome account ☺️🤗
Per the knife....I know I myself once lost a knife when I had several out while dressing a deer and put one aside in the leaves while I finished with the other one...then forgot about the first knife. Blade was left open with the intent of cleaning it off when I was through.
Several years back I was scrapping, found many old signs, the first Coble Dairy Milk signs made, a Diggs drugs, pharmaceutical co.,,I gave that one to my pharmacist, (he hung in his store)the jackpot was a humongous car grave yard, we rented backhoes to dig them up made a Lotta money (thousands)on that find ! Must've been an old junkyard. Was very hard work but was so much fun finding so many old things, and getting $ $$ for old metal
That second find reminds me of the pin hinges… two separate pieces… one screws onto the door, the other onto the frame then a pin hooks the two together and the door pivots on the pin… might have been for some sort of jewelry box?
The brass piece you found with a knob with a hole in it and the flat section with two holes is for hanging a picture frame. The two holes are counter sunk for screws to screw to the frame and the knob with the hole had a ring, It dates from 1780 to 1840 give or take a few years. I have a couple of old picture frames in my collection with these hangers.
Wonderful as always Brad!! That whistle is a find of a lifetime to me....WOW...It is really fun to think about the way they may have used that whistle....maybe for dog hunting or horse training....or like you said to get the kids home to eat!! What a great episode!!
Thanks for the new video 👏, I'm getting my first detector soon, still undecided on which model to go for. We're living in the middle of a forest, southern Bohemia, Czech Republic. Looking forward to your next upload.
I believe the “little brass doodad” at 4:15 is part of a latch for a jewelry box. The flat side was screwed to the inside of the lid, and the ball with the hole stuck out, and was where the latch was hinged.
I guess you got to keep the whistle(shown cleaned up with the letters T.Y. on it) Great video and finds as usual Brad….HH and GL on your next adventure. The last few kicks at the can! 🙏🏼🍀♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
The creek item has countersunk holes on one side , as if for screws . Might be one of a pair with a handle between them making a drawer pull 12:12, winder for the wick of an oil lamp
Fascinating and enjoyable series presented by a very nice guy, even if you're not into Metal Detecting this is still enjoyable programme to watch just to see the "Finds"
Amazing how you recognize so many items!! Even though I live in the Midwest and detecting here produces totally different items-excluding some newer dated coins- your videos are the only metal detecting videos that I watch. They're always so interesting, educational, and I really enjoy your way of thinking how items may have been used hundreds of years ago. Super job, Brad. This 74 years young gal gets so much motivation from watching, that I have my White 300 MXT & MineLab Pro 35 pin pointer out just waiting for the frozen Okie grounds to thaw enough to grab them & head out.
It’s my first time watching your Vlogg I thoroughly enjoyed it & I’ve subscribed I felt your excitement with every find The scenery is beautiful too can’t wait for your next adventure From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I have to say, I don't care how many have metal detected before you, you find things. The whistle is very cool and fans the imagination..the pendant is beautiful and makes me realize how simple the jewelry was made. Yet in it's time it was more then likely a prize. Could've been a locket... As always you're the best and I love watching your videos...
I always enjoy your videos, thanks for making them! Amazing to imagine how all those places you get to used to be deforested homesteads and farms & even trading posts & towns sometimes.
My first guess at 3:28 looks like part of a winder "key" that folds flat so you don't lose it and at 12:43 maybe a knob from an oil lamp burner. Great vids!
My first thought, it was a winder, for a music box, perhaps. That's a lot of stuff! (Oh yeah, keep that glass shard, somewhere safe. See-thru frame maybe in resin.)
In the 1980’s I was talking on the phone to a woman on a farm in Kentucky. The doctor wanted to talk to her husband. I remember that she promised to have him call back because he was so far out on the property that she would have to whistle to get his attention. They were delightful. This whistle brought back a long forgotten memory of some very nice people.
I was just hanging out watching the beautiful sunrise while watching this. A nice pile of finds Brad. That whistle is awesome!!!! Happy hunting and be well
Been watching your videos for a long time now. Thanks for bringing me along Brad. The part made of brass or iron looks like it was a foot from a ornate wood stove maybe?
Oh by all means find something cheap and hide some coins on the property! Great memories and maybe a passion for a new hobby! You could probably shoot videos and get a great following. I would definitely subscribe!
I like your channel better than others. U really seam to care about the artifacts that u find. And your knowledgeable also. I live in a farm that dates back two hundred yrs. And I’ve found lots of farming and history here but I’ve never metal detect it But will be soon. Ty for your channel to get me into it medal detecting
Nice finds, Brad 👍 I need to get back to detecting. It’s been hot and humid here in MS so I haven’t hunted 3-4 months. I started detecting Sept ‘21 with a Simplex. I never thought much about these before detecting but I have developed a big hatred for pull tabs, lol
Hey mate! Awesome video, some really nice finds, the broken bottle is pretty cool, I really like the piece of jewelry, the age to it is amazing! Thanks for sharing this awesome hunt! Cya on the next. Henry👍☺️
Pausing at 12:22 in your video I'd say that that is an oil lamp turn knob made in Crescent, NY. I can't find any manufacturer named "something" brothers though. lol
Congratulations Brad Might of been slow but you scored on a already metal Detected land . You did score that whistle is awesome . Hopefully land owner lets you keep it . Congrats !
Hey Brad ,too bad that Swamp root bottle wasn't whole ,awesome find ! Lot of whiskey drinkers back in the day ! Keep the videos coming awesome job ! Lisa Massachusetts
I used to have a large key collection and owned many clocks. I can tell you for sure that the item you dug up after the Indian Head Penny is a clock key like the ones that used to be on travel clocks. Your key was on an older wind up wall or mantle clock.

I'm happy when I find a silver coin in Oregon. I couldn't imagine finding anything as old as he finds.
I agree, he's got the best detecting channel on YT.
@@warpony4202 Oh I know! I'm in Washington, and there's just not any old stuff to find here.
I totally agree that Brad's channel is the best one out there!!
No frenzied drama at every find! Don't forget great music that doesn't assault your ears and cover the commentary! Brad is the BEST!
A hunt with all the bells and whistles!
Hello friends.. present to witness the fun of hunting hidden treasures.. best of luck always.. greetings from the digger of Indonesian natural resources...👍🙏⚒️❤️🇮🇩
You are the best,no hooting and jumping around lol!.You do a good job,and thanks for taking us along 😀 keep it up!
Swamp root is also called skunk cabbage. Grows in swampy areas.
Skunk cabbage I have heard about swamp root was a new one to me. So many things grow in the swamps
Brad, I think the item you found right after the Indian Head cent was part of a winding mechanism that would fold down flush to the back of the clock or whatever item it wound. Keep up the fantastic video work!
Agree 100%. Looks like the pin that held it in place broke and this part fell off the back of a clock.
I thought so too, but couldn't explain those two holes.
Clock key that integrates into the mainspring winder.
The holes are just to provide a better grip.
Music Box

You have to give it a taste! ;D

That makes sense, but the hole is perpendicular to the flat Never mind I finally figured out what you explained. ;D
I was thinking the two holes looked like they were meant for wood screws and then envisioned it being used for some sort of pulley system or string. I went in search for a comment. Thank you, yours is an awesome account ☺️🤗
Horse tac....maybe a bottle opener? Creek find looks like a hinge. Great content and very inspiring! Have a great weekend.
I agree. A hinge. Screw holes are chamfered on one side. Perhaps one side of a drawer pull?
Per the knife....I know I myself once lost a knife when I had several out while dressing a deer and put one aside in the leaves while I finished with the other one...then forgot about the first knife. Blade was left open with the intent of cleaning it off when I was through.
Brad your music continues to evolve and its beautiful. I assume you write perform and produce the background music. thanks for sharing it.

Lovely place to dig and a beautiful day. Glad you rescued the bell. The whistle was the find of the day. Interesting finds in an already dug area.
Snake oil bottle nice!! Cool recovery at the end
I hate a rusty snake
I like today's collection. I want to see the bell when it's back together. The whistle is a great find
One of the very things I look forward to each and every Friday 💯
Just what I was waiting for 👍 thanks for uploading Brad 🍻

Hi Brad
I live in the high country of Victoria Australia.
I love watching your adventures and am in awe of the beautiful environments you explore.
I’m in Sydney NSW and I love watching as well, the history and scenery is absolutely awesome.
@@annemitchell335Albion Park, NSW.
Mushroom hunting and food foraging type videos are pretty cool for seeing different forests, too 😊🏞️🌲🍄🌿

Your videos are so exciting but also very relaxing to watch. You have so much knowledge on all your finds I love it!
Thanks Brad, some very interesting items in this weeks show.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Yes very professional channel love your wanderings in beautiful mountains of Vermont brad.its so peaceful.xxx
I also think the whistle is awesome. I haven't seen another in your videos, so I think it counts as an amazing find!
Awsome 👍
You always start my Fridays on a great note. Look forward to your videos.

Sweet Digs Brad.....hoping the snow and frost holds off a bit longer, I haven't gotten enough of these beautiful green mountains.
HEY ! Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!
Good show. Thanks!
Great video Brad and nice finds.
My first guess at 3:28 looks like part of a winder "key" that folds flat so you don't lose it and at 12:43 maybe a knob from an oil lamp burner. Great vids!
I found a very similar whistle in a swimming hole. It was complete and still works. There is no ball inside.
Love your show. Your interest in the history and the lives of the people is one of the many things that sets you apart.
How do you avoid poison ivy?
Could the brass doo-dad be a tuning key for a stringed instrument?
Another good musical intro. Keep waiting for you to start making records.
My first thought, it was a winder, for a music box, perhaps. That's a lot of stuff! (Oh yeah, keep that glass shard, somewhere safe. See-thru frame maybe in resin.)

Always a pleasure to watch!
The small piece from the spring with the 2 holes looks like the turning portion of a can opener.
Nice hunt really enjoyed the video, catch you on the next one 🇺🇸
The item with the two holes and ball with hole looks like it could be part of a latch and pin or small lock maybe for a chest. Just a guess.
Love watching your videos!! Love your finds today! The whistle!!!!❤❤❤❤
Been watching your videos for a long time now. Thanks for bringing me along Brad. The part made of brass or iron looks like it was a foot from a ornate wood stove maybe?
My two year old loves watching your videos with me. Afterwards she always asks "mama, can we go find coins?" 😁
Do you take her out to look for some? You say she's 2 but that's old enough to learn about things hands on.
Oh by all means find something cheap and hide some coins on the property! Great memories and maybe a passion for a new hobby! You could probably shoot videos and get a great following. I would definitely subscribe!
@@judithfairchild8620 yup we do!
@@elle45789 maybe when her attention span is a bit longer than 2 mins lol
Great whistle 👍
The little brass paddle is a winder off an old alarm clock, the type thar had the bells on the top. I used to play with my grandmother's.
Great hunt and video, Brad! That whistle is an amazing find. Nice work as always.
Enjoy watching during hurricane Ian. Nothing else can be done right now.
You are wonderful Brad.
Your bottle with so much identifying text is a Great find....right up there with the whistle. Nice
This was a good day for finds. There was a great variety, and large items.
Very nicely done. We'll edited and informative. I really enjoyed watching it!
Best time of the year for digging get out there !

Pull tabs add up with recycling
The metal piece you found somewhere in your video. It's a Metal clock key.. very vintage and antique!!
Nice Indiana head penny. Cool heart pendant. Awesome whistle.
It’s amazing what you have found, even though other people have been over it before
That decorative metal piece reminds me of old window locking parts. Just a guess.
Great video! Cool finds! Had to be hurting pretty bad to drink swamp root. lol
Bravo, finding something new again. Must say, the glass was the best. Be safe out there.
thanks for the pictures and good looking for the story.
UDINE- ITALY
Brad, enjoy your videos so much.
The heart shape is a pendant and the depression could have held a small gem, or the other side could have had an early celluloid insert.
I agree with the gem idea.😊
yep, you can still see the gouges made with a graver around the setting.
My grandma would give that to my. It was sold at a local pharmacy. I’m 70 years old. It was for kidney & bladder infections
Well said Knucklehead...love his style and the music.
Hey mate! Awesome video, some really nice finds, the broken bottle is pretty cool, I really like the piece of jewelry, the age to it is amazing! Thanks for sharing this awesome hunt! Cya on the next. Henry👍☺️

I found a Dr kilmers in Charlotte NC digging for bottles..
Thanks Brad 🤗❤️
Wonderful show, thanks
Great show thank you so much.
Congratulations Brad
Might of been slow but you scored on a already metal
Detected land . You did score that whistle is awesome . Hopefully land owner lets you keep it . Congrats !
#2 mystery almost looks like a key to wind an old music box but the hole is strange
I was gonna say for clock but you have the idea, I think, it would pin into a solid rod with a pivot maybe, to fold flat ?
Hey Brad. Loving your videos. Such a chilled commentary & super interesting. Watching from Sydney Australia.
This is enjoyable
We had a light snow in Old Forge NY last week....loved the video! Stay safe and hope the family is well!
Hey Brad ,too bad that Swamp root bottle wasn't whole ,awesome find ! Lot of whiskey drinkers back in the day !

You are the best keep doing a good job I would like you to come to Tobago to metal detect there are plenty of historical places to check out
Awesome day Brad 👍
