    The lead triangle may be an early star trek badge, maybe Kirk went further back in time 😂

      Haha,love your imagination

    • @tmontero8492
      @tmontero8492 Před 9 měsíci

      Yes, it is likely an early Star Trek badge. But due to its diminutive size, it obviously belonged to a baby. 👶🏻

    Hello, maybe your triangular lead object was a children's toy made of lead. It looks like an old iron. Here in Germany I find toys made of lead relatively often in the fields. Little soldiers, animals and so on. I wish you continued success on your treasure hunt 🙂

    My Friday gets off to a great start when I see Brad's video is posted! Happy adventuring people! Best channel in this genre! ❤
    The Baby spoon may have had the handle bent into a loose loop where the wider parts are. Many baby spoons had a looped handle to make it easier to hold.

    • @marcusaurelius2770
      @marcusaurelius2770 Před 9 měsíci +4

      That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure you are correct.

  • @pauloadams6330
    @pauloadams6330 Před 9 měsíci +14

    The baby spoon handle actually curved around underneath so that the handle formed a loop with a little recurve tail under the bowl. It was actually a baby feeder. The narrow part of the hourglass shape was for your finger joint to hook into it.

    • @gregorybarr6112
      @gregorybarr6112 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yes! I wrote in about the same thing. Some how I remember a spoon like that in the early 50’s although Brad’s find is much older!

  • @yvetteirish2256
    @yvetteirish2256 Před 9 měsíci +6

  • @neilschristensen9143
    @neilschristensen9143 Před 9 měsíci +5

    I'm fascinated by Brads finds. Got a detector for my 75th birthday this year. Just around our 1756 hotel turned to 3 apartments I found an old brass plumbing fitting , pottery shred, and some newer aluminum trim.

  • @Auxius.
    @Auxius. Před 9 měsíci +4

    I've never seen him find a shoe buckle that cool and unbroken. That guy must've really been sad to lose it i'm sure. To top of it off with that incredible bell that still rings! Incredible, thanks!

  • @gregorybarr6112
    @gregorybarr6112 Před 9 měsíci +8

    Great video Brad as always. You and the Scottish Detectorist give wonderful history lessons.
    For the Baby spoon the handle would have been bent so that the two wider parts would be adjacent to each other.
    It would have been a spoon for a toddler whose hand would easily fit in the opening in the handle.

    • @terryt.1643
      @terryt.1643 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Those are my two metal detector channels, too. Love the history and glimpses of times long ago.

  • @bessiewilson1784
    @bessiewilson1784 Před 9 měsíci +3

    That suspender buckle you found was also used in the 1900 til probably til the 1960 s for women’s nylons & brown wool stockings

    • @jamesfowley4114
      @jamesfowley4114 Před měsícem

      We had clips on rubber boots that looked like that in the sixties. There were a couple of other parts and they kept the boots closed so that water had a harder time getting n.

  • @RosaStringWorks
    @RosaStringWorks Před 9 měsíci +2

    Someone probably already commented on the baby spoon . But I believe the handle was meant to be bent in a loop. The mother could put a finger through the loop for a better grip. Anyway, have seen that type before.

  • @dfdigger3820
    @dfdigger3820 Před 9 měsíci +3

    Sweet relics !!!! That baby spoon handle would of been bent over into a loop for the finger to go into :)

  • @Brando_Magnifico

    Toy iron maybe? I think greg on finding America found one recently that wasn't bent over. Yours appears to be slightly larger. Cool hunt!

    @ChristyWerpy-sl5oq Před 9 měsíci +9

    Wow, Brad. The blanket of colorful leaves and the shuffling, crunchy sounds ...so autumnal. Love all the finds especially the baby spoon...made me teary-eyed. Just think, a mother had fed her beloved child with that spoon so long ago...

  • @legacyXplore
    @legacyXplore Před 9 měsíci +4

    The buckle is the equivalent of a gold coin relic wise. You can see the same design that man stared at every morning for a few brief seconds while he is putting on his boots to start the day. Very intimate

  • @toddvail2630

  • @Justfollowthecrumbs
    @Justfollowthecrumbs Před 9 měsíci +1

    The fancy shoe buckle, exquisite but although the St.Nic.😅bell is a normal find wherever Europeans settled to hear one ring across the years is magical to me. Thank you Brad for a lovely visit to your neck of the woods.

    Brad, I’d love to see your display of items you’ve unearthed over the years. Perhaps you could do another video showcasing them? Have you tried detecting along the shores of Lake Champlain? Love to see what’s hidden in the ground along its shores near Addison County. Thanks for a great channel!

  • @stevenstrempke8883
    @stevenstrempke8883 Před 9 měsíci +6

    The Bells
    Edgar Allen Poe
    Hear the sledges with the bells --
    Silver bells!
    What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
    How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
    In the icy air of night!
    While the stars that oversprinkle
    All the heavens, seem to twinkle
    With a crystalline delight;
    Keeping time, time, time,
    In a sort of Runic rhyme,
    To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
    From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
    Bells, bells, bells --
    From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
    Love your video's Brad. You are so like one of our sons, we feel we know you. Here is a verse for your crotal bells!

  • @sheilacynkar9848
    @sheilacynkar9848 Před 9 měsíci +1

    The baby spoon handle, I believe, was formed in a loop so the baby could grab it and learn how to feed itself. My mom had one for me .

  • @MizMissiB
    @MizMissiB Před 9 měsíci +5

    Could the lead triangle thing possibly be a cuff link? Maybe? And the baby spoon could be shaped like that to make it easier for the baby to hold on to when they’re first learning to use utensils? Just thoughts. Absolutely love the sleigh bell. I used to collect bells of all types until I downsized. I miss that collection. Unfortunately they aren’t something that’s plentiful in Texas so metal detecting to find one would be a very long hunt. Especially where I’m at near the border with Mexico. Very enjoyable video. Thanks.

    • @johnboggs177
      @johnboggs177 Před 9 měsíci +1

      I believe you are spot on .my grands had the same baby sets they kept to pass on to their daughters and my mom passed 10yrs ago at a very respectable 102 yrs

    • @joanneachildoftheking4199

  • @randygriffin4821
    @randygriffin4821 Před 9 měsíci +20

    For me the baby spoon is the best find. That spoon was very special to the mother. That is a candidate for restoration.

    • @kevinallen9009
      @kevinallen9009 Před 9 měsíci

      Yes , so cool. I think that long handle was likely bent into a loop with possibly a tang at the end. I agree a restoration would be outstanding

  • @virginiahardy9213
    @virginiahardy9213 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Love the baby spoon. It would have circled back to the spoonbowl to make a loop.

    • @swampyankee72
      @swampyankee72 Před 9 měsíci +2

      @duggkenn I tried it, I learned I dont have the patience required to be good at it. It took Brad several hours to find all that loot. He also doesn't show the "garbage" finds that litter the forest floor. I decided I love WATCHING people metal detecting, from the comfort of my home, in My PJ's. with a cup of coffee in hand! 😁

  • @kevinallen9009
    @kevinallen9009 Před 9 měsíci

    That must have been a comparatively affluent farmer. That you could ring that bell was kind of uplifting to me, like a tribute to the maker for creating such a durable, enjoyable, item that brings happiness to the ear. The soil there seems like it isn't as destructive as it is in most of the locations where you detect, I hope you'll revisit the site.

    Such very cool stuff the baby spoon and the shoe buckle are number 1 & 2. Not often do we get to see things for babies in your videos. My guess is that they were used for as many of children in the family and passed down through the generations.

  • @jimschmidt1199

    @susanmacdonald858 Před 9 měsíci +1

    LOVE your videos! I'm addicted! Just a note though, the small item you decribed as a supender piece is actually more intimate. It's for holding up women's stockings & men's socks. The name "velvet touch" is a sales point, saying it's gentle so won't tear your silk stockings.

  • @zolluuu
    @zolluuu Před 9 měsíci

    The brooch is circa 1900, give or take 10 years. A 200-year-old brooch would have a "tube" or "barrel" hinge on the pin itself, rather than the round hinge it actually has. It's still a very cool find but probably not as old as you initially thought. In fact, it's probably from the same era as the baby spoon, which looks to be 1890-1910 as well.

    The lead piece is a tiny childs toy "sad iron" ... They also had tiny lead plates, cups, tea pots, etc...
