It Was Only a Story Until I Found It With My Metal Detector

Hey Brad, love the vids you do! I'm gonna say with about 99% certainty the small "axe" head you found is a millstone pick. It would have been used to cut/dress the grooves on milestones used to grind flour and grain back in the day. They were also used by stone masons to clean/dress/face stones for foundations, fireplaces and other structures. I have several of those very tools and I still use them on occasion! To me, those old tools are just as exciting finds as the gold and silver coins.....they helped build those old farms and homesteads.... Keep up the amazing finds and videos!

Thank you for discovering the location of the lost barn. I would never have guessed that location. Great finds.

Brad, the brass object with a hole in the end is a tent, rope, tightener, and I think you are right about that hammer is for stonework

Fun hunt! Great job finding his wedding ring. His smile said it all!

Hey Brad, Any day that you can enjoy the out of doors is a good day. But when you are able to connect with history as well It becomes a great day. Cool finds, Thank you for allowing us to view the hunt.

Green Mountain lost and found, a whole new adventure!

Great show. Thanks again for the entertainment

Brad, I started watching your videos because the opening scene is what I see from my front door. I and a friend looked for that ring a few days earlier with no luck, glad you found it and the buckle drew you back. I would have never thought to detect that hay field, you never know what's been lost and left to be found. Great video!

Always my best start to the weekend watching you having fun in the field.

That was a very interesting exploration. Glad you found such good stuff.

I really enjoyed your finds today! Thank you for sharing!

Looks like some hard ground there. Enjoyed watching. Thank you again for sharing.

Awesome love the new bar on top of your videos

Awesome hunt Brad. Love the tape measurer Beautiful find there. Congrats on the Barber Quarter 2 Mercury Dimes and IHP. Take Care Brad

Brad - It is a stone finishing hammer. Great videos as always! Thanks again for sharing your adventures! Your long hollow brass tube with the hole in the end is a 1850's-1860's tent rope tension slide. I have several of them from Civil War cams.

Sir you rock. Blessings

The blacksmith fullering tool that this resembles was usually a struck tool type, which would have one flat end. It would take some practice to be precise with it. It may have been used for packing oakum into log walls. Very cool finds today. Love it when there's some history to go with the finds. Thanks for sharing.

Cool finds. Mercury was the messenger of the gods, and had a winged helmet. The Mercury dime is actually Liberty wearing a winged Liberty Cap to symbolize freedom of thought. Fun day in the field!

You're the man, Brad.

Great video as always, Brad. Someone probably already chimed in but that object on the far right in your wrap up is a tent rope tensioner
