    Digging the iron signals has produced MANY outstanding relics for me over the years. I never shy away and it's payed off! Good job and congrats on the finds Brad!

    When there are few undiscovered mysteries left there's always the rediscovered, things most people in this time don't know or think about. I love history, especially of the people who lived in times past. Thank you Brad for bring us along on your adventures of rediscovery. I truly enjoy seeing the past dug up/found.

    Nice finds Brad. The looped end iron piece looks like it could be the pintle side of a forged hinge. It would be pounded into a predrilled hole in the frame and hold the hinge from a door. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy hunting.

    • @jeanponce2017
      @jeanponce2017 Рік тому

      Yep that's what I think it is also. Some can get pounded into stonework between the stones in a small pillar and stone wall like for a gate hinge in to an early cemetery. Either way it's too an early strap hinge

    I loved your reaction to the Nova Constellatio coin- only your 3rd or 4th- I wonder how many people west of us have ever even heard of one, never mind found a few! It would indeed be a lifetime find for thousands of non-New Englander's. Congrats for an amazing find, in pretty darn good shape I might add! Oh, and that tiny thimble- fantastic!

    Brad - It is not uncommon for different time periods to be intermixed with each other. We have found Native American artifacts, colonial artifacts & Civil War artifacts all in the same area here in the Mid-Ohio Valley. So, it is not uncommon for that to happen. Hope you find out what it is and congratulations on the coin! Best wishes from 35th State Relic Hunters. Keep up the great videos as they are among the best on UA-cam! Thanks again for sharing the adventure & the history!

    Great day in the Green Mtn's Brad .. You always seem to uncover some very cool artifacts, and I'm certain the "cuttings on your editing floor" highlight neat stuff as well .. As for the Kettle Point Arrowhead .. Possibly, could it be a previously "discovered" artifact uncovered by an earlier resident ? .. Who's to say .. Thanks for another great morning in the Green Mtn's.

    The iron that looks like a tent stake, I think is a tent stake…how exciting to find the coin, makes you want to go back in time and say “hey there, you dropped this”!

    The Nova coin and tiny unsquashed thimble were my favorites.

    On the possible kettle point, I wondered if it had stuck in an animal but didn't kill it. The animal could have died and the point would have been left at that spot. Maybe a long shot but is a possibility.

    I am not familiar with metal points from the historical period, but I do find arrowheads in singular contexts, without any other signs of occupation. I think they might have been fired and lost, like stuck in a deer that ran away and they didn't get to recover the point.
