Treasure Hunter Thought He’d Found It All… He Was WRONG

Definitely "was" a toy Canon and that pocket knife is for sure late 1700's just by the shape. What a great place to detect. Thanks for taking us along Brad.

The small hook you found is a tentor hook, used for tying back draperies. The flat end had a wood screw thread that must have rotted away or broken off. Cool find.

My dad made a scaled down Napoleon civil war cannon (down to 50 cal) by hand. He was a machinist for HP. Lots of amazing skills. I told my dad the only thing I wanted of his is that cannon as it remindes me of the kind of talented person he is. Well he gave it to me a couple of years ago and keeps asking me if I have shot it. Frankly I have been afraid to shoot it for fear of damaging it while hauling it around. I have all the instructions and recently told him I would take it out next week to shoot as I know it will make him happy. I am very excited to do this now. I decided that I am going to make a box to store it in when moving it so it doesn't get damaged.

I will Definitely be here next Friday!!! I look forward to seeing your vlogs on Friday!!! You make my Fridays worth getting up for!!! Thank you for sharing another Great Vlog with us!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Great video Brad! Love the copper with the stars carved into it, the thimble and the shoe buckle fragment. Keep up the great work! From, Jim and Mason.

It's always worth another visit

Brad thank you so much for sharing your hobby with us. I always look forward to seeing your adventures. You are living my dream retirement. God bless you and again thank you for sharing.

A country kid would never think to load up a toy cannon w/ pilfered 3x black powder or a couple Lucifer heads....a wad and a fishing sinker, and an opposing force of Pewter/lead opponents.....I never would have thought of such a thing....not on such a small scale.....LOL !!! Kudos Brad.

A bit off subject, but what do you think about "The Curse Of Oak Island" and some of the metal detecting on that show? I think it's funny that they find two or three things then wrap it up for the day. I really like the way you do thing on this channel. You seem to search from daylight to dark every time you're out there. Keep up with the great videos.

The L-shaped object you showed us at 7:40 once had an iron screw (long rusted away) sticking out at the now flat end and would have been screwed into the wall in which to hang a picture. They are still reproduced by Optimum Brasses ( catalog online) of Great Britain. They were made in several sizes depending on how heavy the picture was. It’s always fun to see the cool treasures you find, Brad! Thank you for taking us along.

Recognized the canon right away. That was my favorite find of this video. Imagine how unhappy the owner was when it exploded. Likely loaded with too much black powder!!

Thank you so much for taking us along and so appreciate your efforts! GBY & your family!

The copper coin with stars on it is a Freemason coin. The thimble was most likely used to sew up bags of farm produce. Cool finds.

I think your mystery coin is a Dandy Button with that lovely engraved pattern.

Always love it when someone finds a thimble. ❤

Great Hunt Brad. My first thoughts were a Pipe Tamper and a toy Cannon. Love the Copper with the engraving on it. Congrats on the 1879 IHP and Wheatie. Trifecta with Pennies. Take Care Brad

I'm from Vermont, love it and miss it. I've been watching your videos for years now and it's one of the most relaxing things I do. You and your videos are a perfect example of the Green Mountain State.

I have a toy cannon like that. It’s fun to fire off with black powder. I recognized that right away. I would like to get a BIG one.

Very nice finds, hubby guessed the canon right away. See you next week.

Full liberty on the indian , must have been lost fresh .
