I just bought a rudimentary introductory metal detector after watching these videos. I live in Western mass, not too far from you!. I have a nine-year-old and a 14-year-old that because of our love of the movie goonies love treasure hunting . lol!!! With this new set up, we started in our front yard for about 15 min. We found a quarter that was dated with my wife’s birth year, but also found an iron toy truck. A toy that some child played with over 80 to a 100 years ago. The light in my own children’s eye lit up, with these discoveries. Thanks to you I truly think we now have a life long family hobby!

90% sure that's a period camp axe circa 1760-1780's. Great find!!!
@cdd424822 дні тому
I am Not any kind of expert, but I do camp a lot and that is exactly what I was thinking...it looks like a camp axe.
@paulbrahm763821 день тому
Hatchets with long beards are for caving it gives you more control ewing axes are flat on one side
@tonyhemingway798020 днів тому
That's what I think. A camp ax would have been a typical part of a militia man's accessories.

I have to thank you again for the visual beeps. Some people don't realize how terrible beeps can be when you're hard of hearing and wear ear buds. I usually have them turned up so i can hear, and i can't deal with annoying beeps. Hats off to ya😊

My European brain automatically went: Tomahawk! 🤣 Great video, as always Brad! (also, silver tarnishes from exposure to Sulphur... Turns black)

You know Brad. When you found that little lead cup and said how rare it is to fine the Remains of Children...'s toys I almost spit my tea out? When I was young, in my teens, we moved into an old brownstone in S Chicago and it had a coal flap and a chute that went into the basement bin I " earned" the task of shoveling out the old coal and taking it out by the 5 gallon bucket. My stepfather at the time was a cop and while I was digging I found bones?? I freaked out cause the house was creepy enough as is without a skeleton in the coal bin.He took the bones to work and had them looked at by someone. He said they were dog bones but I saw the piece of jaw and dogs don't have flat molars? But I was 12-13. The seller was a plumber and there were bins all lined up with elbows and stuff. Tons of them, I also hauled those out by the bucket. And 3 old paint cans. They were heavy, too heavy for paint so I opened them. They were full of pocket change and rolled pennies. I have them in a gallon bag in my house somewhere? I'm 52 now. The silver change I spent but the pennies were just pennies I kept for 40 years. No Large Cents for me.....drink BI***ES !!! I miss Banana Eddie on the eps..

@roberthess393921 день тому
Brad, at 10:47 you said that "you guessed that they (the Boutwell and the Robinson & Ballou tokens) were owned by the same people." Probably not. Boutwell (a miller) issued almost 40 varieties of his token which (is believed) was made by the Scovill Manufacturing Co. of Waterbury, CT. R&B (grocers) issued around 15 varieties of their token. Not sure where they were struck. cf Fuld, US Civil War Store Cards, 3rd edition. Best to you!
@clamsoup21 день тому
The good old days when you gave lead toys to your kids, and on their 7th Christmas, a hatchet to "be careful" with.
@wadewilson985420 днів тому
Been following you for years. Every year your videos just get better. The addition of the numerical and audio as a visual is great. Only one I’ve seen to do it. Stay happy Brad.
@jamesmassey669021 день тому

The people who made the store tokens kept the dies from a job and often reused them for others, they were thrifty Yankees. You guys need to go over this place with a fine tooth comb! Can't wait for more, cya next week!

10:15 Robinson & Ballou civil war store card. I have a couple of those! 👍👍 I believe both the Oliver Boutwell and Robinson & Ballou store cards were minted by Scovill Mfg. Co., hence the similarity in the design.

@aropals67221 день тому
That is a hand made earring. You can tell by the bale connection. The stone looks to be old mined turquoise or possibly opal. The silver is more than likely fine silver rather than sterling. .999 Fine silver doesn't tarnish like sterling. Definitely add a bale for a very nice pendant. Just submerge in a water bath in a tin cup while soldering it on and it won't hurt the stone.

Another great video Brad, nice finds and great since of the history there. I look forward to your adventures every week, I know you don't clean your coins but I do when I can, in the field I've used Tabasco sauce, it takes a few minutes but does a great job and doesn't hurt the coin.👍❤️🇺🇸

@YsabetJustYsabet20 днів тому
Interesting stone in that earring/future pendant-- some sort of copper-family thing, maybe? I live in the SW and turquoise comes in every shade from apple-green to deep sky blue, and maybe it's turquoise... but it looks more like a cut of unbanded malachite to me. Or maybe a high-grade piece of chrysoprase? Jade? Could be lots of things. Nice work, though! Love the band at the top of the screen; thanks for doing that! Seriously, I wish more detectorists would have some sort of indicator of the kind.

I have no way of proving this but as soon as you showed the tone bouncing on the big iron target. I said to myself. It's big chunk of iron, it's an axe. Then I was in shock when you pulled out a hatched head.
