    In regards to the hinged bracelet, ironically, the two little eyelets held a small chain to keep the bracelet from opening so far that it freely fall off your arm.

      And may date to late Victorian times. Unusual cuff bracelet with having applied decoration, rather than bright cut work. Generally, better made pieces of jewellery have the safety chains.

    Watch your videos every week. It’s funny I am in my sixties and many items you find and have
    no idea what they are I recognize immediately. When I was a kid there were really not many items made out of plastic. Most things made were not to be thrown away but bought and used indefinitely. I think we have gone backwards. Have a great summer!

    Seeing really old houses falling apart makes me sad. Not only was the craftsmanship, especially with wood, excellent but just thinking about all the hopes, dreams, arguments and overall life they've seen going to waste touches my heart. I'm getting sentimental in my old age.
    Awesome video as usual.

    Leaf litter is not the only way coins get underground. Coins sink over time due to expansion and contraction of the soil due to temperature and moisture. They don't sink much in clay soils, but can sink eight inches or more in sandy/loamy soils given enough time. I have never dug in places coins could be 200 years old, but suspect some coins could sink over a foot. A big coil might be of help in those areas.

    The architecture of the old farmhouse is intriguing. What I have been told is that the divided panels on the front door, the arched panels, represented Moses tablets of the Old Testament and indicated that the owner was Jewish. The front columns being one piece of timber, I have not seen before. Extraordinary. Other tablets have been fashioned in wood, or glass inset windows, and were a secret code for hospitality given to Jews. As the Masons ideology spread through New England among business owners, members had an advantage for insider trade, and became anti-semites in an effort to eliminate Jewish competition.

    I think a factor playing into the depth of the coins is their orientation to the surface. Coins turned on edge tend to sink deeper and the coins laying parallel actually rise over time due to the hydrology of the site pushing them up.

    You’ve already been told this , but the two loops were for a safety chain.
    This style of bracelet construction was popular in imported Indian and Nepalese bangle bracelets. Many were made with water buffalo horn, and framed with cheap white metal. The pin closures are suggestive of import stores in the ‘60’s and 70’s.
    However it may have nothing to do with eastern imports, but it is DEFINITELY a bracelet 😀
