I was curious if you are aware that you are in another video done by “Awesome!” Date is for August 7 2021 Under title “ Girl Vanishes , 7 months later Hiker tells cops to look closer at log pile. There are a few pictures in it if you. I wasn’t sure if you knew about it or not.
It's a slaughtering knife.
@@gaylenealis7268 hes aware and its been reported sometime last year or year before
@@hilljackprospecting4610 thanks for letting me know!
I see you got you a 4-wheeler now , I bet it cuts down on walking so far ..
The iron piece with the two brass things on it is the handle to a coffee grinder. They were on the top of the grinder. I believe the blade is for fleshing hides of animals like beaver,deer or hogs and cattle.👍☮️
I agree on both
@@dennisjohnson406 ditto
not for fleshing, it's a garden edger, food chopper, dough cutter
Every Friday I wake up this thinking oh boy it's Green Mountain day.
Dude… definitely has to be the original pizza cutter…. 😂 😂
Or a rocker knife for cutting dough.
Hey brother I am going out for my first hunt in months my surgery was a absolute success and I have been cleared by my doctor to return to what I love to do. Wish me luck by the way I have truly enjoyed your videos lately you have really stepped it up and they have been awesome. I love the hunting for the Degraw I probably spelled that wrong but you get the gist of it. Great video bro God Bless brother.
I've been wondering where you've been 😃. I'm so glad to read your comment about your surgery being a complete success. Now go find those treasures 🤗
The rivet like buttons appear to be collar buttons for holding linen collars to a shirt. The posts are actually the front.
Go figure, I'll be out all day detecting and find nothing, but all Brad has to do is trip and discover a cool find.....Nice!
Would love to see the restoration of that cutting tool!
Great video Brad. The blade is for cleaning the pelts of larger animals.
That's what I was thinking initially, but Googling for similar description/photos it appears to be a Halfmoon Knife used for cutting leather/leather working.. as Brad had surmised. I personally would worry it is too fragile/brittle after all that time in the ground to risk trying to cut leather with it... but what do I know!
I agree, it looks like a vintage hide scraper to me as well.
I have a similar chopper to that as it was my great grandmother's brought from Russia. Yes, mine has a wood handle.
Those wild berries have so much better flavor than tame. What an added bonus treasure
Lots of nice finds. That cutter looks to be for removing hides from animals to butcher.
cool...like a Ulu knife
The milk glass inserts on jar lids were to keep acidic contents (like pickles or tomatoes) from eating the metal lid
Wish I had some of those! Modern lids are weaksauce.
The blade you found is an old garden tool called a Kantenstecher/ edging knife
That's what I was thinking. Looks like a sod cutter that the Scots and Irish used to cut peat.
squirrel hunting trick, tap a coin (penny) on your gun stock rapidly. Sounds like squirrel when they break nuts and eat. Other ones feel safe and come out. boom.
I am really surprised you don’t find wild blueberries all the time, I grew up in the Brattleboro Vt, Keene Nh area and found them all the time. Arrowheads too.
Love your channel! Takes me home again every Friday. Makes me wonder all the old metal I walked over and never knew it.
Same here. I lived in Underhill Vt for a while and we found them in the late summer all the time.
The LU looking tool must be a fantastic steel to have taken a patina and survived like that. It will be interesting to see what kind of an edge it takes. I'll bet a really good one! I like the hide scraper suggestion, in which case the impregnation of fats may have helped keep the steel good. Look forward to seeing it as a leather tool.
As a kid in Scotland I used a cutting tool just like you found , it had a long handle and it was for edging lawns, or cutting sod.
At the sound of the gunshots, I realized it was time for you to start wearing an orange vest. Stay safe! (It's a Mom thing).
Nice hunt Brad .. I agree with the previous comments about the demi-lune fleshing tool, and have to agree it's in phenomenal condition for its age .. Not uncommon to find smaller versions, of similar form, used in home food preparation during the period, chopping vegetables and the like for consumption .. I know of passionate antique collectors of choppers "up-country" who would have all their juices flowing to stumble across one of that size and condition .. a wonderful find ! Thanks for sharing another great day in Vermont.
Amazing! Love that cutting tool and how you tripped into finding it. Like to have a look at it when you get it restored. 🤓
Good thing that shank didn't get ya Brad...wow
YOU THE MAN OF METAL DETECTING
The projection on the cutting tool (or anything like a knife) that goes up into a handle to secure it is called a tang. That's an awesome find!
This channel is REAL treasure. 🤓
The mystery buttons are collar studs and the mystery doodad
looks like a desk hinge, or a box hinge.
Nice finds, Brad. Enjoy the holiday weekend. 👍🇺🇸
I hope that slip/fall ends up on the blooper reel! 🤣
I believe that second find you made is part of the mechanism that rises and lowers the canopy over a Surrey or some other kind of horse drawn buggy.
Yes it is
Items don't only get covered by leaves etc.With a lot of rain the soil will turn liquid,and the item will literally sink.I've found 40's coins in the middle of open parkland 9" deep(which had me scratching my head for a while) until I tumbled to what's going on.Been watching for years,and hope to be watching for years more.Good luck and good health to you and yours!
Those are some great finds! I also found an Indian head penny from 1906.. great day!
Great finds. Especially the blueberries... Huggs from the great state of Maine... 🤗
I'm glad you didn't get hurt when you fell.
handle thingy with brass knobs is a canopy release for a colonial era biplane ...cool find :)
A Blog video of you restoring the leather tool would be cool to see. Also, maybe showing how it works? Would be a good winter video 👍
Good video I enjoyed it nice finds catch you on the next one 🇺🇸
The soundtrack for all your vids is incredible. I know you play all of the instruments, and that adds a great deal to the whole experience.
Long Trail End2End
That cool ive found a lot of those thin milk glass plates and never knew they were from Mason jar lids...
Great episode Brad. That cutting implement looks a lot like an Ulu, (traditional Inuit woman's knife which is used mainly for scraping skins, sewing & cutting meat).
I thought that as well. Search “The Fastest woman with a Ulu” for a cool example.
@@ronsdigginthemidwest5502 Pretty sure we're correct :)
Thanks Brad…as always love the adventure and scenery👍😊
The find of the day, reuse it for cutting up vegetables and any other things in the kitchen. It would be perfect!
the blue berries and you swinging the detector was a nice touch to the video
Love the sound of the water when you dug the shoe buckle.
Hey Brad that Mason jar lid had a red rubber seal with it. When boiled in pan the jar would be removed and quickly tightened. When it cooled the jar would seal. The rubber seal had a tab that stuck out so you could pull it to break the vacuum seal and open the jar. Yes I'm and old guy and helped my great grandmom who was born in 1879 to can.
Good morning and thumbs UP !
That tool is amazing surprise find! I hope u show the new handle u add to make it beautiful again!
My grandmother ( born in late 1800's) did a lot of canning and I saw many of those Mason jars with those same kind of lids.. There was a separate small gasket to seal the contents of the jar.. thx for taking us along for the ride..
That blade looks like a tool used for cutting tobacco and rolling cigars. But I get the feeling that it's a common cutter shape for lots of jobs.
The button with the nail was probably for a saddle as it would have been driven through the leather and anchored into the wooden saddle tree. The other two are a type of cuff link and the iron item that looks like a blade is a vegetable chopper. It did have a turned wooden handle. I have several from the late 1700's to early 1800's.
Good morning Brad, it’s a great Friday when I start my day with you. Wonderful finds and video. Have a wonderful week. Joyce 🇺🇸❤️
The sharp triangle is a cabbage cutter for kraut. My 1800's born grandparents used them.
Your intro music is awesome. I love the complexity of the arrangement and how you bring the guitar up and expand it out. This was a fun dig do love that veggie/ leather cutting tool.
The old mason jar lids were made of zinc. The ceramic inserts were used to protect the contents of the jar from being contaminated by the zinc in the lid as it would give the contents an “off-taste”. Thanks for another great video!
Brad
,Looked like 1888 to me:)
At 20:01 on the grounds there seemed to be a triangular piece of metal, naybe related to that leather cutter.
Mason Jar glass inserts kept the food from touching the metal and were
supposed to keep them from getting tainted.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Yes that is correct.
The big brass dandy coat button is a thing of beauty 😃. Thank goodness you didn't hurt yourself badly with the slide/fall 👍 and to end up with a true relic! Two Largies and a smallie 😁. Those gunshots were quite unnerving 😳
Another great video 📹 love the blade and the coppers
Awesome day. Good thing you slipped on the rock but glad you didn't hurt yourself! Nice knife chopper and coins. Sad the shoe buckle was broke and not complete darn it! Happy hunting!
Found some really great stuff! Good day. Stay safe with your family.
The curved piece with the rounds on either looks like a carriage top hinge
I love your videos. History amazes me, I love Vermont, and you are such an interesting young man with a head full of information. Loved seeing your family and gardens, but especially like the nature shots. I'm in NY, right in the triangle of Mass and Vt., Berkshire. Bennington is about 35 minutes away, so I get to VT. now and then.
Lol. woodpecker made my day. Great video Brad.
The blade you found reminded me immediately of the Inuit ulu. I believe ulu translates into ‘woman’s knife’. It was the women who scraped caribou hides or seal pelts to make clothing. They were originally made from stone and were a treasured possession. I imagine pioneer women had much the same duties. So, perhaps you found an old hide scrapper.
Beaut blokes as we say Downunder Australia way.
Big loves and lots of gold to you both.
A Nana in Queensland Australia ✌🙃💜
What you have also found is the lid from a preserving jar. They still make them--check "Fowlers Vaccola" preserving kit--it will show you all of the stuff--and the glass lids that are held on by a vacuum once the preserves cool down. Lotsa fun. There are US made versions too.
Another excellent hunt, and that cutting tool you stumbled across is a top notch find. Thank you for another entertaing video 👍 top shelf.
Great finds today! Love the old coppers. Keep up the good work. Also love the old tool!
Looking forward to seeing your new find restored. It’s going to look amazing.
I dig maaon jar lids in MN all the time. The porcelain or white milk glass was used to keep the food inside the jar from coming into direct contact with the metal lid. This was done to keep the food from getting a metallic off-taste. The liner also decreased the chances of bacteria getting in the food. New lids obviously are lined with rubber/plastic seals. Hitting the site of a former homestead tomorrow here and hoping to find a mason jar lid or two while there.

Thank you for the great family content.
The blade might have been a rocking cutter used in a wooden bowl for chopping vegetables. It also could have been a dough cutter or a trough cleaner. I believe the glass lined jar lids were WWII era when metal was saved for war use. The glass was reusable and could be sealed with wax. There was a period of time when a set of buttons were considered a luxury. Clothes were made with double holes so the same set of buttons could be used in different shirts/blouses.
I’m thinking that cutter was for something in the butchering process. You found some great items. Love the shoe buckle.
I miss you this morning 🤷♂️ better late then never , nice haul today 👍
As with most of us, I would enjoy seeing the handle restoration
The pair of buttons at 7:45, could be button studs. The small end would be worked through small holes on both sides of the shirt, leaving a the large head visible. They would likely be found on shirts made of finer cloth possibly with a lot of lace or frills. You might still find them on shirts worn with tuxedos. The lump of melted glass could be from the mason jar.
Given what you do with leather, that tool is such a cool, ironic find!
HI FROM THE UK, I ONLY FOUND YOUR SITE 2 DAYS AGO, AND AM ENJOYING IT VERY MUCH AS I'M BAD WITH ARTHRITIS AND CAN'T GET OUT AT ALL. JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS ABOUT TWO ITEMS YOU HAVE UNCOVERED IN YOUR SHOWS, ONE FROM 5 YEARS AGO,A ROUND PEWTER PIECE WITH A SLIT IN IT REMINDED ME OF THE WICK APERTURE ON A STORM LAMP, YOU FOUND THE WINDER IN THE SAME EPISODE. ALSO , IN AN EPISODE FROM 2 YEARS AGO YOU UNEARTHED TWO IRON OBJECTS WHICH YOU SAID MIGHT HAVE BEEN FIRE RELATED. IN ENGLAND WE CALL THEM FIRE DOGS, AND WOULD HAVE STOOD AT EITHER SIDE OF THE FIRE, IN THE HEARTH AREA, YOU NOTED THAT ONE OF THEM HAD BEEN CAST AND HAD A HEART IN THE DESIGN. I'M 68 AND HAVE A GOOD BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH AND FOREIGN ANTIQUES, I USED TO BE HOOKED ON A PROGRAM OVER HERE CALLED ANTIQUES ROAD TRIP WHICH HAS SADLY BEEN CANCELLED RECENTLY, BUT I HAVE SEEN FIRE DOGS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THAT IS WHAT YOU HAD. NO IDEA WHY THEY WEREN'T A PAIR, MAYBE THE BLACKSMITH HAD BORROWED THE ORNATE ONE TO MAKE A FEW COPIES AND WAS USING IT AS A TEMPLATE. HOPE YOU FIND MY SUGGESTIONS USEFUL, JOHN KEARNS FROM BAMBER BRIDGE, LANCASHIRE.
Brad nice day for you young man enjoyed the video and blueberry love them stay blessed and see you again on the next episode 2👍
I was late to the party this morning. Usually up by 5:30 but things didn't go well last night so sleep deprived right now. Anyway, I made it and am excited by the probable coffee grinder handle and the hide scraper. I also like that fancy button quite a lot. Very nice design. Isn't it amazing how the earth holds onto things until it comes time for them to be found? Yep, great day for you. Thank you for a good start to my Friday morning. Now I can breathe deeply again and enjoy the memory.
I have a hole bunch of old leather tools,punches,blades,14 different tools ,I dont do leather work ,im 75 ,and I can't get around much any more,im from wisconsin.and as a young guy we walked the hills in west Central wis.about 50 MI from the mississippi river, in so watching you guys hikeing is awesome,that leather tool you found
Gee, even going ass over tea kettle you still pull up the best finds! 😄 love the old tools. Looks like a modern day edger but I bet it is a skin scraper or even a ulu cutter.
Could the swivel handle thing be a door latch/ barn door latch?
Great way to spend time in the woods.
I seen something similar on the TV show "life below zero".it's used to flesh out an animal skin.
You got some nice finds Brad
There are two pieces to the mason jar lid because the rings (the threaded portion) can be reused, while the insert is a one time use once the jar has been vacuum sealed.
I have found 2 of those cutters at colonial sites in NC. Here they were used generally to chop cabbage for sauerkraut, and for potatoes and other root veggies
Nice find you tripped over. Your shows are very good. Keep em coming
I believe the cresent cutter is a 'fleshing knife' used on animal skins once they're in a streatcher to clean all the meat and tallow off before they dry
Blueberries almost a plague in southern NH. Its the soil. VT has a much sweeter soil, most of ours
very acid. Thats why you have very different flora. If you eat those little berries & wild strawberries
you will NEVER want that grocery store CRAP. Truly one of Gods gifts
LFOD !
I think the odd shaped curved arm is a lid support. Not sure but that is similar to what modern ones look like. Love your videos
Good hunt Brad with some interesting finds. Try not to fall on sharp objects cause stitches in your butt will slow your metal detecting down and we just can’t have that lol. Nice video brother
I'd take one of your slow days any day 👍
The cutting tool looks like a food chopper to me. Love the melted glass! I found a chunk in the ground after a double elm tree toppled over in my front yard.
Great video, buddy. 🤘
Nice finds ! I hope that you did not end up with ants in your pants ! LOL
Very interesting finds and video! The item you slipped on could possibly a food chopper perhaps, just a guess. I'll be looking forward to the next video.
Handle from a carriage? You scored big time today🌲
That was a great hunt. The cutting tool is so nice. You looked so happy to find it.
Thanks for sharing your videos, can't wait for the next adventure.
It was always meant to be found by him YaHuWaH does those special things for. Us. YaHushuWaH GREAT Gifts
The old buttons with the stud end are called collar studs. They were used to attach collars to shirts--and not work shirts either Dress shirts.. These were from the days of starched collars and spats.
Great video! The Mason jar lid peeked my interest. My wife and can food and you can still get those lids but they are plastic with a rubber seal. We normally use disposable lids but these are good if you can't get those 😊
Great music! Great finds! 🇨🇦
