Hedge apples aka Osage orange. Cut one in half and put in closet to keep bugs out. The tree was used for fence posts because they hold up for years in the elements.
I had 4 brothers and we used to have wars with them. They grow better around water because the seeds come out better if they sit in water a long time. If you want to grow one put the hedge apples in a bucket of water for a few weeks, mash it up and plant it.
Osage oranges. The Osage tree is orange wood and can cause dermatitis and it's wood dust can cause breathing problems if you are allergic to it. It is a hard wood and liked for it's use in tool handles.
That is correct, Osage Orange. Native Americans used the wood for making bows as the wood is very flexible and durable for that use. We call them Hedge tree and the round balls are the fruit it produces. The sawdust was also used to die clothing in world war 1.
Another name for the Osage Orange tree you might have heard, Kyle, is Bois d'Arc (pronounced Bow Dark), which translates from the French to bow stave, or so I am told. The wood was prized among Indigenous people for making bows, atlatls, and tool handles of all kinds.
Times have changed when I was a little boy. We walked other people's land hunting and fishing.and they did the same on our property. Now everybody's afraid to step ovèr property lines. May God bless everyone 🙏 ❤
Yes! I remember asking permission from the farmers to ride my pony on their property. As long as I was mindful of their crops and closing gates I had freedom to wander wherever I could get to:). It was heaven for an adventurous lonely girl!
The bottle from Lowell (You said it right the second time!) really got my attention! That’s my neck of the woods. Cool finds all around. I love the marbles.
I worry more about gators in the creeks, bayou, rivers, and lakes down south than the snakes, but I always watch my steps for snakes. In fact, I always look inside my mailbox before I reach my hand in to get mail and I always look inside my shoes and my boots before putting my foot in them. 😊
I just happened upon your video and was astonished! I love finding marbles! This creek is giving you many little treasures! Thank you for these awesome videos!!
What a cool episode! And YES, creeks do change a lot after each big rain event. Lawmakers either don’t seem to ever understand that, or they did as kids and just plain forget those things over time. So they end up drafting bills that restrict or sometimes even completely impede enjoyment of the hobby, often completely unnecessarily. Thanks for making the awesome video! It’s all about the search, isn’t it, even when we come back with very little or with nothing. Lol
The Pluto Water bottle is a great find. It was bottled in French Lick Indiana. Their slogan was “America’s Physic”. The contents of the bottle was from a sulphur smelling mineral spring in southern Indiana, and was used as a very strong natural laxative.
I'm always surprised that a person can still find marbles, but back then almost every kid had a bag. My dad did and my brother has it now, there are some gorgeous ones.. 🙂
To get things out of the creek, what if you made a conscious effort to pickup and put all trash on one side of the creek. That way one day you could go back with bags and start taking things out. It would be easier if everything was on one side. I really enjoy your videos. My husband and I used to love to get out and walk and find treasures. Unfortunately 25 yrs ago I had a serious back injury and walked into surgery to have it repaired and never walked again. Sooo now I have to do it through everyone else’s videos. God Bless
Sorry you had that happen to you. But unfortunately I totally understand. Headon collision by inebriated driver got me and every time they have messed with my back they have just made it worse. I understand having to get your adventures by watching someone else’s. Same here. May God bless you.
Sorry you went thru that . I had a bad fall back injury , not surgery but the pain is getting worse over the years. I'm barely walking now but it's not from that injury ,but Covid in Sept 2020 took the feeling from my legs from the knees down. The weirdest thing is every time I start feeling Sorry for myself I hear about someone who is worse off. It's not so bad.
those round balls are off the osage orange tree/they have thorns and bows are made out of the wood-its called bow wood/I love coming along on your and Natalie's adventures!
I love marbles I had a lot of them. You are so fortunate to find all of these things. You are blessed. I enjoy your videos so very much ❤️. You are encouraging me to get out and find something. It's really getting to cold now but I still would love to do it.
I Google lensed the insulator...looks like those were used in running power to forestry watch towers between 1910 and 1950. Still had that great blue color...nice find.
I don't know why UA-cam is removing that I watch videos and like them. It's happened a lot lately, yours included. I try to catch them when I can rewatch them and give them a thumbs up again. Love your videos Kyle!!
YAY my favorite Adventure dude! Greetings brudda! Those strange green gnarly things you asked about are the fruits of Osage Orange. Native Americans prized the wood for making bows. The fruit is supposed to be good for repelling insects. Farmers used the plants to form hedges to keep livestock in desired areas. Interesting to read up on it. Hope all is well with you, thanks for taking us along and give Nat a hug for us. You could put those marbles in that smaller brown jar you found. Have a great week!!!
The “fruit” from the Osage Orange tree is also called, “Hedge Apples” and eaten by squirrels, on our farm, anyway. It is believed the wood was used by Native Americans to make bows. It is harder than heck to break a branch and have short thorns.
Hi WildKyle! 😊 At minute 21:20 you are looking at an osage orange fruit tree. Not a citrus but rather relative to mulberry. Only the seeds are edible. Despite their pleasant fragrance, they are somehow used as bug repellent. I did a report on those back in middle school.
I too enjoy walking along the creeks by my home and finding these treasures. I got an amazing specimen of petrified wood with what appears to be an animal footprint on the top . Im not familiar with rock types and minerals but its also got some nice glittery particles speckled in it. Its a nice size piece too. 3:58
That green seed pod, we used to call those "Horse Apples" . If you nick one of them they have a white sap that's super sticky like glue. Fun story, my grandparents lived on a hill. They had one of these trees. We used to roll them down her driveway to see if we can get them across the street to the creek. Fun times!
Loved the blue insulator. The small chip on the Dr. P bottle didn't detract that much. You ought to have a large bag with a shoulder strap to free up both hands for climbing up and down the banks.
That beat up marble was a German handmade marble...1880s to 1910s era. Rest of marbles appeared to be 1940s to early 1950s machine made marble era. Amazing how many marbles still rolling around in creeks.
We called those green things horse apples . I am so jealous of the marbles , I collect them too . I would love to find an old home place to search but n my area everything’s posted. I don’t even know of a creek to search in. Good luck treasure hunting
Just found this channel! Brings back lots of memories when I hunted bottles and shark teeth for many decades! Found lots of both including many big megs ! 👍😁
I wish you and Natalie could have come to Arkansas for the KaDoHa 7th Treasure Fest in Murfreesboro this year! Hope to meet yall next October 2025 8th Treasure Fest! Fun time had by all. Brandon and Miranda are great folks, visited with them for a time.
Hedge apples! great for keeping bugs away & the wood from the trees (a bright yellow color) is great if you want a hot fast fire! Back when I camped regularly there was a hedge tree that always helped me get the campfire going, raining or not lol No one ever knew how I would get the fires going but I was always in charge of it thanks to ye olde hedge tree hehe
That Pluto water bottle is from French lick Indiana. Place where the mob came to have big parties at the beautiful and old west Baden springs hotel. The artesian water there was supposed to have healing powers and such. Pretty cool area and history. Larry birds birthplace as well.
I love stories like that. Over east in Defiance there's a story about the Purple Gang (from Detroit and in Elvis' Jailhouse Rock). They had a house they'd come to raise hell and party at. The neighbors got sick of it so one day after the gang left everyone came around and tore the house down. There was nothing left but the dirt. Next time the Purple gang showed up they looked around, shook their heads and left, never to be seen again. I love America!!!
First x Very beautiful Fun And Relaxing I grew up on a huge farm w many ponds creeks and spring in the texas hill country near austin Limestone Minnows Turtles Cats Vultures Skunks Moles Mega peids Arrow heads Calcite crystal geodes
Hedge apples are also great in the winter time. You can cut them into pieces and place them on a piece of foil in the corners inside, or around the outside of your home. They’ll keep spiders and insects out. I just got a couple myself, but I have to be careful where I put them, cause my dog likes to eat them, lol 😂 But you’ll need lots of hot soapy water to clean the knife you cut them with. Their sap is super thick and sticky 😊
We call em horse apples in TX its a bodark tree not sure about the spelling . But that's what I was always told. Yes very hard wood I've made axe Handel's out of it and a sling shot when I was a kid.
I believe the creature on the Gordon's Gin is a wolf. We have one from the same era with the original label. Even though I haven't seen it in years I seem to remember a wolf head on the label.🤙🏽
Hedge apples aka Osage orange. Cut one in half and put in closet to keep bugs out. The tree was used for fence posts because they hold up for years in the elements.
That was dye the uniforms not die, lol.
Also used by many indigenous tribes to make bows.
I had 4 brothers and we used to have wars with them. They grow better around water because the seeds come out better if they sit in water a long time. If you want to grow one put the hedge apples in a bucket of water for a few weeks, mash it up and plant it.
also the best firewood!
In Texas, the trees are called Bois d'Arc (bo dark) trees. They have wicked thorns. The cattle and horses love the fruits.
Osage oranges. The Osage tree is orange wood and can cause dermatitis and it's wood dust can cause breathing problems if you are allergic to it. It is a hard wood and liked for it's use in tool handles.
And fence posts
That is correct, Osage Orange. Native Americans used the wood for making bows as the wood is very flexible and durable for that use. We call them Hedge tree and the round balls are the fruit it produces. The sawdust was also used to die clothing in world war 1.
All wood dust can cause breathing problems, and many many other wood oils can cause allergic reactions.
Nice quick Google search ya did. 🙄
Another name for the Osage Orange tree you might have heard, Kyle, is Bois d'Arc (pronounced Bow Dark), which translates from the French to bow stave, or so I am told. The wood was prized among Indigenous people for making bows, atlatls, and tool handles of all kinds.
Also, sage apples, they're all over Nebraska. Really a hard wood, power tools have a hard time going through it.
Times have changed when I was a little boy. We walked other people's land hunting and fishing.and they did the same on our property. Now everybody's afraid to step ovèr property lines.

I grew up like that. I'm 62. Great growing up those decades
That blue insulator is an antenna wire strain relief for an old radio. 1930's.
The bottle from Lowell (You said it right the second time!) really got my attention! That’s my neck of the woods. Cool finds all around. I love the marbles.
Same here i was born in Lowell General lol. Id be interested in buying that all cleaned up
@@ddance78 Both my children born there.Chelmsford
My neck too kinda
I've found a few on the banks of the Merrimack River.
Thanks for taking us treasure hunting with you.
Oh darn. I was hoping you would lay out all the neat stuff you found, and go over it for us at the end of this video🤔
I just love coming along with y’all on these forays
❤❤❤❤
With those broken neck bottles ,I cut the top off and make drinking glasses and pencil cups out of them.
I get such snake and tick anxiety seeing you wander through the creek areas. 😮 I love the search thou. Stay safe.
Luckily none of that this time! But we come across them fairly often. I don't mind the snakes, but I don't enjoy the ticks at all 😂😂😂
He got his MSK's on (Mississippi sh!t kickers)😂. That's what we called rugged durable boots when I was growing up.
I worry more about gators in the creeks, bayou, rivers, and lakes down south than the snakes, but I always watch my steps for snakes. In fact, I always look inside my mailbox before I reach my hand in to get mail and I always look inside my shoes and my boots before putting my foot in them. 😊
I just happened upon your video and was astonished! I love finding marbles! This creek is giving you many little treasures! Thank you for these awesome videos!!
Just loved the marbles!
Some good ways to haul out a lot of garbage especially glass would be dog food bags. They are very strong and pretty cut proof.
What a cool episode! And YES, creeks do change a lot after each big rain event.

I would have ended up with a bucket full of 'neat' and 'pretty' rocks! Love rocks!
Me too
Native Americans prized the Osage Orange wood for making bows.
Great going along with you. Pluto water is from a natural spring in French Lick, Indiana. (sulfer water, I think) Sold as a cure-all 😊
Always a pleasure to see you. Take care and stay safe.
The wood from the Osage Orange makes a really fine sounding guiitar too!!!
I'm always surprised that a person can still find marbles, but back then almost every kid had a bag. My dad did and my brother has it now, there are some gorgeous ones.. 🙂
Love the old marbles!
BUT WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? It’s so crazy.
@@TheJTTaylor000Wondering the same. 🤔
When I watched that hurricane roll through, couldn't help but think about your next creek walk video haha

Love your attitude about sharing the creeks. Love your videos, too,
Have you ever tried putting a uv light to the marbles you find? It would be really cool if one ended up glowing or being made of uranium glass!
Uranium glass isn't the only kind that glows. A lot of manganese glass glows orange.
Yeah some of the marbles glow really nicely!
@@WILDKYLEoh that’s awesome!!!
I love marbles I had a lot of them. You are so fortunate to find all of these things. You are blessed. I enjoy your videos so very much ❤️. You are encouraging me to get out and find something. It's really getting to cold now but I still would love to do it.
Hi Kyle❤ Glad to see you out and about for Me to See😊
Yay, that was fun, I enjoy your stream videos! Thanks!
I Google lensed the insulator...looks like those were used in running power to forestry watch towers between 1910 and 1950. Still had that great blue color...nice find.
Very much enjoyed. Kind of wished you'd shown the finds again once it was cleaned up. Thanks!
I don't know why UA-cam is removing that I watch videos and like them. It's happened a lot lately, yours included. I try to catch them when I can rewatch them and give them a thumbs up again. Love your videos Kyle!!

Great walk with some nice finds. Thanks for the trip. Stay safe.
So good to see you back on a creek walk!❤❤

Also known as hedge apples. I recently read that the bug repellent thing is just folklore.
Horse Apples 👍👍👍👍🙏
Nice old marbles and the sarsaparilla bottle is awesome. Good to see you back in the creek, Kyle!❤
Love these creek walks❤thx for the vid
Another good adventure on the creek and came back with a few treasures.
I too enjoy walking along the creeks by my home and finding these treasures. I got an amazing specimen of petrified wood with what appears to be an animal footprint on the top .

At 9:17 broken pottery bottom looked very much like Mochaware. Late 18th Century. Worth picking up.
21:25 Horse Apples !!!! 😊
Horse apple bodark tree were used for making bows
We call the big green spheres, horse apples too.

Oh man! Too bad that German marble wasn't complete. Still cool to find!
lol yes the dolls are back!
Just in time for Halloween! Hahahaha
Loving that blue marble. New subscriber. Enjoyed this vid,thank you. Keep safe. From the UK.
Nice video. Nice, clean fun.

Nice variety of treasures!
The blue piece usually goes with the copper pot for its handle. It can be other pieces besides the copper pots.
There was a marble right next the bone you picked up at the beginning of the video!
Lovely marble. Super creek too.❤😊
Blue ceramic insulator caught my eye! Never seen a blue one
I liked the Dr.Pepper bottle. Good video,
First find,a playing marble! You know...a like'' for sure!
Thanks for the video. Natalie missed out on all the marbles.
Pluto bottle is possible from French lick Indiana. It was a laxative water.
What! No Natalie, the marble finding queen. She must be doing something REALLY important for her to miss showing off her marble finding skils. 😊😊
She was at work 😭😭😭 I know there would be 100 times as many marbles had she been there hahaha!
@WILDKYLE Kyle you got a keeper. 😉☺️☺️
Need rain here in MD so I can try my creek again! Awesome Vid!
Had a great time! Thanks for taking me along again
Hi just wanted to let you know that the clay topper is actually used for cooling pies and cakes. Usually you use 3 or 4 of them. Have a great day 🙂
Nice of whoever found your spot to put out the bottles they they liked but did not want to take. It is the unwritten code of conduct. 😊
Absolutely!
The Hoods bottles from Lowell. MA were frosted. Nice find.
It’s not a Wild Kyle video without a creepy doll lol . Loved the video
I always love looking at the marbles yall find

I think that the blue insulator was for an electrified fence. I have a clear glass one shaped the same.

A lot of great finds. My favorite was the cow tooth. I love finding teeth
Oh yeah always fun to find a tooth!
Nice finds. You really should take a backpack for good finds and use the bucket for trash. Then just dump the bucket in the nearest trash bin 🗑️ ✌🏼❤️
Yes! That would be very helpful!
