Hey Brad! I wait for your new videos each week. May I suggest, after finding items like the “sash buckle” it would be really cool to see them after you’ve cleaned them up.

@moparman1962Рік тому
Yes, that would be nice to see the whole day's find cleaned up at the end of the videos, other channels do that and it makes sense as a lot of the pieces have dirt, corrosion and more than one side that might be in better condition underneath.

Yes, continue on with the additional camera. Even though I get a little anxious wondering what you've found now, I think it is a great addition to your 'history detecting' accoutrements.

My father brought my brother and I detecting and it was about 40 yards from a old cemetery out in middle of nowhere and I found a pilgrims shoe buckle solid gold in A+ condition and my grandfather talked me into donating it to the Augusta state museum. That's where it is . Been about 37 years or so . Take my kids to see it once in a while. Archeologists and college professors from all over the world study in . And possibly do the same thing today and donate for everyone to enjoy.

IT GREAT TO DO GOOD AND DONATE BUT THIS DAY AND AGE NOPE CANT TRUST ANYTHING AND SHOULD ALWAYS ASK YOUR SELF WOULD THEY DONATE TO YOU IN NEED I THINK NOT unfortunately that's the world we live in today nor can modern day taught history be trusted or modern museums are known to hide and burry artifacts that go against their narrative the sad truth

Some old wood sash windows have those thumb lock mechanisms to hold the window open at a few preselected heights. Only the flat part would be visible. That’s what it resembles, to me. The door knob was probably found next to it. Often, hardware was transferred from one homesite to another

That mystery button looks like the piece to the old telegraph machines they used to transmit signals/messages using morse code. I'm pretty sure those mystery buttons are the switches for the old telegraph machines for sending and receiving messages for sure. I've just seen that switch so many times in old western films and it fits perfectly with the 1850's time frame.

Watching you satisfies two things for me. It gets me into the forest and I get to watch you enjoy metal detecting which I always wanted to try. I think the new camera is going to work out well although it may not always be aimed correctly. I look forward each week to see what new treasures you will find and try to guess where you might be detecting that week. Thank you for doing what you do so well and bringing me along with you.

Those clips, I've seen something similar many may years ago on a very old farm machine. They where recesed into the wood with a spring under them. You pushed it in and could tighten or loosen a leather strap and when you let go it gripped the leather belt. The ones I saw where on a static thresher machine from the late 1800's and held the stowage boxes closed. There was a Bix on each side each with 2 of the clasps. Don't know if they are the same item but look very similar. Love the new camera angles BTW. Charlie 🇬🇧
