Brad I think the audio of all your videos is so pleasant to listen to. Your video drone shots and plant life is beautiful and your history of what you find is very interesting. Thank you for all of this.
Brad We at Bromark farms enjoy your videos. We eat breakfast watching your videos every Friday before we do our morning farm chores. God bless you.
Brad, thank you for taking us along on another detecting adventure. Definitely the most underrated detecting channel on CZcams.
Coffee and GMMD. Look forward to every Friday thanks for another adventure
Brad I think the chain was part of a hook and loop to a cape that someone would wear on their shoulders.
Hi, I intend to agree with you. It was the first impression I got. They say your first impression is always right. Have a wonderful day.🇺🇸🙋♀️
Agreed. Looks just like a modern "eye" from sewing notions.
elves or dwarves? 😀
Yep, similar to a hook and eye, but with a woman's cloak, it's called a Frog Closure.
My first thought was part of a bit gag loop chain.
Brad, you need to do book readings or books on tape. Very pleasant to listen to
Just for the record, as a seasoned detectorist, I never cringe at the coin rub...
Benjamin Henry developed the first lever action rifle in 1860, so great find. Big fan. Thanks for sharing
Some nice farm artifacts and assorted items. Cheers Brad! 👍😊🇺🇸
Will Brad awesome coin and nice fines stay blessed and safe 🙏👍
Morning Brad, thanks for taking us along!!
Thank you for making these videos. Much more interesting than any tv show right now.
Hi Brad! Nice digs! I love your videos! Hope all is well with you and your sweet family!😁😘👍
It's always possible that an artifact or coin could be from an older date than the inhabited property. Hunters could have dropped that piece of lead that might have been for a flintlock. I like to romanticize and imagine how the artifacts ended up where they were. Thank you for another great video.
Had early errands today. Here now! Thank you for the great videos!
Good morning Brad. Some wonderful finds today. The only thing missing was a thimble. You stay safe !!! ✌️
Great day of detecting Brad!! Thanks for sharing buddy!! Regards JJ
I think the “punch” as you called it might a actually be a drift pin. It’s in too good of shape to be a punch, imo. Great videos Brad; keep em coming!
I agree, a drift punch, or drift pin, is used as an aid in aligning bolt or rivet holes prior to inserting a fastener or in blacksmithing to enlarge a hole. A drift punch is constructed as a tapered rod, with the hammer acting on the large end of the taper .You slid the pin through two holes to align the holes, you might tap on the wider end with a hammer, but not so hard as to mushroom the top over as you would see with a chisel that's hit by a metal hammer (as Brad said).
Beautiful area. Love the aerials. Awesome gun piece. Great find on the hard times token & indian head penny.
You are always awesome, I look forward to Friday to watch your new videos.. you are my favorite thank you for what you do
Fresh brewed coffee ☕️, homemade sourdough toast and GMMD. Good start to the morning.
Another good one Brad keep them coming 👍👍🇬🇧
Omg its Brad i was starting to have withdraws i had to go back and watch one of the old ones. good to see ya again ,another adventure with Brad nice vid as always. God bless be safe always watching.
What do you mean? I post a new video every Friday!
I really enjoy watching your videos. WOW! Getting close to 100,000 subscribers... 👍👍👍😄
Time for my Saturday video catchup !!!! Raining in the Oregon Cascades, So we can not do a darn thing ; )
I really like the music you have on here of yours. It’s really good. Always enjoy your channel. 😊🙏
Hey Brad concerning the chain you found in this weeks video. Was sipping my morning coffee and about spit it out when I realized that last year I'd found almost the exact same chain. (Connecticut) The one I found has a gold gilt (wearing). Was found near an 1800's stagecoach Inn. No idea what is is but Very cool! Trying to send a pic of it but not sure if that's youtubable?
Be happy to send you a pic.
I ordered a pair of the Revolution Race pants….WOW…!! I’m going to order another pair today….I love them…!!! Thanks for the information Brad….!!
Interesting group of finds! It always amazes me that there wasn’t more of the rifle around, like where would it go? I’m sure you felt the same!
Loving alll your finds, great hunt
Looks like a lever from a Henry rifle. And many used flintlocks into the end of the 19th century. Dependable and cheap to fire up in the Boonies! Great hunt!
5:43 Turkey tail mushrooms ! very high in beta-glucans ! great for tea.
Awesome video great finds thanks for the video. Congratulations
I just find the iron pieces as fascinating as the coins and such. Trying to figure out what they are and how they were used is just as much fun!
I love your videos and I love reading the comments. Some of them make me think others make me laugh.
As for the possibility of the folded lead being a flint holder for a lock. The lock could have been a fire starter as well. Then again my Dad learn to shoot with a percussion rifle due to it was cheaper to shoot than a cartridge firearm. So maybe something similar might have been in play.
great stuff Brad thanks. gets my weekend off to a good start.
Man that 1863 hard times token is deeply personal.
My fourth great grandfather was captured at Vicksburg and paroled by Grant on July 3, 1863. He had been shot in the eye but survived till 1922. I’m glad, because he would not have had my third great grandfather… I would not be writing this.
He kept his word to the Union and did not reenlist. This made him a deserter in the eyes of the Confederacy. He no doubt had some hard times in 1863. But glad they were had.
Not a bad day in the woods Brad. That rifle lever is a pretty cool find as is the punch. Happy hunting and be well
Nice spot to swing
Picked up one of the Green Mountain shirts ... verrrry niccce!!👍
I love finding finding pocketwatch parts Brad, the backs, empty frames, I've even found the complete brass face of a pocketwatch. Whenever I find these singular parts, I always wonder whatever happened to the rest of the watch? 🤔 - Dave
in the back of a lot of old pocket watches there were markes made by the people that repaired them. when you clean them , if you are careful you might be able to date them that way.
@@wernerfischer6694 Great info, thanks Werner. 👍
I'm just not happy that we only get one vid a week lol Brad thank you very much it can't be easy to always post a vid every week considering that you are not in your back yard lol thanx it can't be easy
My morning cup of coffee and your awesome video...good start to the day! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for taking us with you!!
You rock Brad !! Great teacher
Always a highlight -- looking forward to your videos is almost better than looking forward to the weekend!
Good Morning Brad, Another wonderful video! The gun lever is awesome! Let all of us know if there's any markings on it after cleaning. Take Care, Jim
I think you added something to the music that is your intro. A jingle, kind of reminded me of an old cowboy walking in this boots with a jingle you know because he would have the Spurs on. If it's been there before I'm surprised I missed it. As always, anytime you take us outdoors I love it. I thought the lever action for the gun was a great find, as always I love your video. Nice finds....
Hi Brad, some great finds, I loved the gun part. So much is left behind from the past for us to wonder at here in the present, very cool.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞
Great relics! Especially that Hard Times Token...!
@5:43, Turkeytail mushroom, great immune booster. Blacksmith punch to punch holes in metal.
Hi Brad. The piece chain reminded me of the chain handles that they put on women’s change purses/wallets.
Another interesting video! Maybe that nail set was a peg set for joining wooden boxes, chests or structures?
The shape of the punch is unmistakeable, but as you say, it has not been hit hard and often. Perhaps it was lost when still fairly new; but I think it could also have been used on a softer material, perhaps to punch holes in leather... And I completely agree about the cape-clasp, I remember them from my days in theatre. Greetings from the Pyrenees, Everything you do seems to be cut from the same cloth, woven of curiosity and care, and I admire it.
As always, awesome video. Thanks for sharing
Looks like you found the lever for a Daisy Red Rider BB gun to me.
Enjoyed your search.
I think so too. It looks too narrow to be from a Winchester.
Hope ypu have a top weekend and stay safe out there cracking job as allways really injoy catching up on your videos and as I allways say see you at the next 👍
Hoping you're well. You look a little under the weather? Love your videos. I watch on my husband's account.
Definitely a one cent coin. Nice explanations of the period finds.
Keep up the great work. You truly are one of best at making these metal detecting videos on CZcams, the way you describe the lay of the land the history behind the land and the knowledge of the artifacts you uncover are priceless and very educational. 👍👍
Your coin finds; silver, copper or gold; you do to them whatever you dang well want to. I personally take offense to others telling any of us what we should/can do to the coins that we find 👎 that's my thumb rubbed two cents worth on the subject 😏. The rifle lever piece is a really great find 😃 as are the two small coppers!! I do love it hobby!! I hope I can get a picture with you this coming weekend 😃
Very interesting assortment of relics Brad!
Good finds for property that's been hunted before.
I was wondering when you find an iron tool that is covered in rust what steps do you take to cleaning them? And other item. Enjoy your videos.
Great video. Enjoyed it while on lunch break!
I am wondering about the tack parts you found, the hook part if it did not have a keeper clasp reminds me of an old pack animal saddle for I guess a donkey since it was small.
Great vid. That first chain piece would most likely be to a cape or cloak.
I always thought that the flint in a flintlock was held in a piece of folded over leather? That's how my hunting buddy's flintlock works.
Very nice lever action Brad! Would have been fantastic if you would have found the barrel aye? Great video and music as always!
Nice treasure finds Brad! 😎😎
6:21 Though your house was built in 1996 does not mean the ground was new in 1996. People have been traveling across the land way before you arrived to build your house there. You could still find something of major importance from the 1800's, 1700's or before on your property.
Don’t worry he has hit it himself and out with his son also on the property teaching him how to detect
Very true! In 1976 here in Phoenix, Arizona I was taking out a tree in the backyard. Around two feet down I found a coin. After some cleaning the date read 1779. I was shocked to say the least.
@@docholliday5439 what coin was it?
@@genewalsh3154 it was a Spanish silver 8 reales. 👍
Great hunt. Nice job picking through an old farmstead and coming out with some great finds. That Hard Times Token is an awesome find. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
HEY! Good morning Brad !
My guess for the punch would be leatherwork! Probably repairing harnesses!
Hey Brad I love the drone flyover the country is awesome.love watching you swing and finding stunning artefacts.we don’t have the articles you find there over here I just love the things you find take care my friend hope the family’s well cheers Brad I think that’s the piece on a Winchester rifle (1873) to cock the gun
Hey Brad given you found a lot of horse tack related items in this video and in a past video I saw of yours where you found small pieces of chain my guess is that its a curb chain from a horses bit. They are not long length of chain and the connect to each side of the bit and run under the horses chin. I also watched another one of your videos where you are in a field and find pieces and again there was horse tack buckles etc.
My Gramps may have guessed your find at 10:40 to be a "drift pin," used to align holes in two work pieces. Center punch maybe?
Hello from Hardin County TN home of Shiloh battlefield. Enjoy your videos and the finds
Great video..... Just for kicks, I looked up exploded drawings of the levers of early rifles [[ Henry, Spencer, and Winchester ]] and the lever you found appears to most closely resembles that of a Henry Repeating Rifle. There does appear to be 1 or 2 small parts missing from it though.
Great spot there!
Still a great day Brad. Pretty good coins and relics! The Hard times token is a sweet find! Enjoyed the video. Stay safe and all the best!
Thank you, glad to see your vids. Not only are they informative , also views and music is awesome.
Love watching your videos. The content is well presented and the area views are beautiful. I miss being in the mountains. Thanx Brad.
It would be awesome if you can show us your metal detector and some actual digging from time to time, the element of surprise is what drives most of us. Thank you :)
Thinking out loud here but the "hook" may have had a flat spring to make it a "snap". These are used to close or attach the bridle, harness or collar of a draft horse. I also think the chain may be part of a curb chain used in conjunction with the bit.
Good video Brad nicely done as usual great finds see you on the next one. 🇺🇸
Enjoyed it as always.
That punch tool looks like a leather punch. For making holes in leather. I can't wait until you do the fall colors hunts.
I know I am not an expert but.... The lever action was more than likely a Marlin by its squared appearance.. as always .. loved the video keep up the amazing fun
Awesome finds dude, nice!
The military used Flint until just before the Civil War, percussion caps were used instead...civilian use of Flintlocks continued after the 1860s
Those brass links in the beginning of the video were obviously part of chainmail from the armor of the Knights Templar working with Lief Erickson in burying the Oak Island treasure in that mountain!
Awesome adventure and great finds. Thank you for the video.
That thing you think is a punch at 10:07 looks exactly what I used to punch holes in thick leather for chafing gear after soaking the leather in water first.
I think if I'm not mistaken Brad the little chain with the thing on the end of it goes to a Conestoga bill that holds the clinger inside on one of the larger bells at least I think now thanks for the videos Man your friend and biggest fan
NORTH GEORGIA MIKE
I’m no flintlock rifle authority, but I’ve never seen reference to lead wrapped gun flints. Leather, felt, or gunpatch cloth, but no lead strips. Also, have you found a reference photo of a rifle with a lever shaped like that? The finger loop seems too narrow? Maybe shears would be more likely? Dunno. Cool video, as usual.
Enjoyed the video good job
I think the chain with the loop thing …..possibly the loop thing Hooke behind a button holding the chain in place and anchor it.
I'm just saying the pressure of putting out a vid every Friday must be silly with filming and editing thanx Brad you doing awesome
Not to mention you have a family thank you I'm looking for a raise at my job so I'm thinking maybe becoming a patron
Comment on rubbing coins...right on. Two greatest 'Care' myths are rubbing coins and electrolysis. I'm rather glad that mention of electrolysis is fading.
