That lid definitely looks like an old beer stein lid!

The fancy hooked item at 16:30 is a corset lace puller. The lace puller that hockey players use nowadays is derived from that. It’s cool that you’ve found a complete one as a lot of these ended up in landfills after corsets went out of vogue.

The jelly-like “stuff” is a Nostoc algae, a genus of cyanobacterium formerly classified as blue-green algae. It has multiple common names like star jelly.

Moose meeting at the Moose Lodge 😂 Thanks Brad 😎👍

I think the lid is from one of those stoneware beer steins. But the mystery item first thought to be handle to cruet set looks like late 18th century castings from the shell motif. I’m clueless but hope you’ll share the answer on this one. Those are some cool finds. Thanks for taking us along, Brad !

Brad , I love your videos because you don't just show your finds but also tell stories and show the beautiful scenery around you ! Thank you for sharing it with me ! I always look forward to Fridays for your videos !

The ornate thing you found at the end reminds me of an ornate lace pulling device for corsets or boots.

As you were standing there before showing the moose droppings, I was noticing in the background that the balsam trees behind you were eaten by moose. This is typically where moose will stay (yard) for the winter. Balsam is their main winter diet. They can eat 35-45 lbs a day, so there needs to be a lot of trees. Plus larger trees for cover from the snow. If there aren't many trees, then it's just a staging area before getting to the winter yard. Moose shed their antlers between late November and early February (mainly in January). Finding trees where they rub their antlers (ranging from walking stick size, to trees 6-8 inches in diameter s the best indicator that a bull was in the area. This is what I look for when shed hunting.

Brad! That token is quite similar to one I stumbled across while digging in a garden, behind a 100 year old farm house, in northern Michigan in the mid 70s. The one I found was made of aluminium and was for $1.00 off a coat at a city about 20 miles from where I found it. I did a little searching in the local phonebook and called anybody with the same last name. I actually found the daughter of the owner of the store( she was in her late 80s) and she was rather excited to hear about my find. I was told it had to predate 1910 because the store closed in that year. I still have it with all my other treasures I have found over the years.

The moose poop is in that spot because it’s a moose or deer “yard”. A place that stays free, or nearly free, of snow in the winter. The animals gather there for extended periods, leaving between storms to feed.

If the jelly moves up the stick and absorbs your hand, it’s “The Blob.” As always, awesome hunt. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

The handle reminds me of the type my grandma used to pull the cast iron cover on her wood burning stove/oven. Yes, I'm that old!

Blue Mountain is a type of denium jean pants commonly sold at Tractor Supply stores.

Thank goodness winter is over!! 👏👍😉

Brad I think you put together some of the best videos!

If someone from Haverhill heard how you pronounced it I think they would fight you. Haha. Good finds Brad

Hey Brad! Great vid as usual….I believe u just found a real Moose Lodge!!!! Lol

Beautiful silver bracelet. Awesome crotal bell. Great token.

A Barlow knife, used for whitlin', carving wood. Great finds!

Brad nice fines and great to see you again on the hunt 👍stay blessed

We have a Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario. Great finds today!

The lid is just like one on my German beer stein. And the Moose were having a lodge meeting! Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Still hands down the best metal detecting channel out here!!! Awesome job as always Brad!

Lots of folks are saying beer stein lid but those don't usually have the hinge right on the lid. A thumb lever comes off the lid and the hinge is part of that lever and located a short distance away from the lid.

I’m here for the music. And the finds. Great channel. Thank you

I could be wrong, but the stone in the "cuff" bracelet looks like moon stone. Definitely not opal. Great finds and beautiful nature.

I love it when you show the fauna it's beautiful

Brad, What a fun diverse day, I have the feeling you just scratched the surface of finds. Cheers, Rik Spector

What a good day great video I enjoyed it thanks be safe watch your six Gene Gorringe Mi ✌️ 🇺🇲 🇬🇧

Great Hunt Brad. Looking like a Beer Stein lid to me also. Very nice find. Love tge Silver Bracelet. Love the IHP and Advertising Token. Very cool Handle you found. Hope you'll be able to identify what it was used for. Take Care Brad

The pin you found that said Blue Mountain...there's a Blue Mountain in Mass near Dedham I believe. I've been there, they have a convention hall type of place on the top, and that may be a commemorative pin from there.

The Moose poop suggests a wintering area where they herd up for protection and feed.

Awesome bracelet That looks like the lid to a beer stein! great Stuff as usual , thanks and Hope you find some more gold nuggets ! John

Beautiful finds

👍👍😊 Thanks Brad

That blob is “ Jelly Fungus”. We have it in the woods by our cabin and it’s purple. Looks like grape jelly. Comes in all colors!

...leather working is my thought!...go on, good man...good music making also...be well!...

Love the cultural/ historical background teaching you do with your wonderful finds. Some of the imported from UK colonial objects you've found I've heard explained on #thescottishdetectorist. Love the history you uncover rain, sleet or snow.

Cool finds! Loved that burgundy trillium! Don’t see burgundy ones in my Ohio woods. Just white and pink!

Haha... You're like the postman neither rain nor sleet nor hell... Lil. You know I really enjoy your photos that you take, I'm always fascinated with the fungus, So that one that you took with the orange, is beautiful. Not only do I what you find, I love all that you do in your videos. My favorite is when you find something in our so excited. But I love the information you give. As a hunter's ex I'm really intrigued by that big huge area of poop or is it scat.. I Hope to hear what those two ornate handles were and I'm always thrilled when you find a bell! See you next week Brad...

Maybe the , Cruet handle is really a 'pull' for a corset lace? Pull with two of these and put your foot on the ladies lower back for support?

I have rented a small piece of land that my house sits on. I decided to clear blackberry bushes and stinging nettles from land right behind my house. Found skeletal remains of duck and deer, along with rat skeletons. Was digging up things tossed over the fence for decades. Up popped a moose antler!

Happy rainy Friday to you Brad! Thank you 😊

The item that supposed to belong to a “Cruet Set” looks to me like a big key🗝️ to a vault where all the bags of gold coins are stashed!!!💰💰🙏🏼🍀😅 Btw, what an unique finds today!🤔 Fascinating…GL and HH on your next adventure Brad🍀 Blessings and best wishes send from Canada 🙏🏼👋🏼🇨🇦

I think the lid could be the top to a stein or maybe a tankard.

Star jelly is a variety of slime mold which in themselves are remarkable and almost alien in appearance and habits. They are an organization of organisms and can move en mass and respond to stimulus. They appear in unusual places where they have never been seen before. They also seem to change in their make up and appearance between sedentary and mobile. I have a bright green one that suddenly appears and is very large overnight in my vegetable garden each year. They think they are always there, living separately in the soil and then come together to ??? reproduce sexually? at some type of signal. Really cool and widely studied organism.

Thoroughly enjoy your videos (and your finds! Especially that gold coin!) But I especially appreciate that you stop and share the beauty around you with your viewers. Nice!

That thing you thought was a handle to a cruet set, may be used to loosen the strings on a ladies corset? That’s why it’s so decorative and rounded on the end?

Saw something similar at my Grandparents. They used there to open and close dampers and vents for their fireplace to regulate the heat.

Nice finds!

The Blue Mountains are in Pacific Northwest. Blue Ridge From the Carolina's to PA!!

that led lid you found is definitely a lid for a beer mug could even be bavarian as we used to have close to that decors back around 1860

Unusual finds I'm happy you are out detecting ♥️👍🗝️🇺🇸♥️♥️

I love that advertising token! So much information on it.

Hi Brad I agree with the beer stein lid, also known as a tankard lid. Tons of moose droppings signals an ancient well worn moose trail. The small knife looks like a farriers knife for cleaning horse hooves while shoeing

The bracelet looks to be mother-of-pearl or possibly moonstone (it was hard to tell if it was white-opaque or translucent with the silver behind it.) As for the weird knife, maybe used for something to do with trees? Maybe on the end of a long pole? Getting down nuts or fruit?

Enjoyed very much.

Don't know if this relates to the object you found, but Blue Mountain pottery is from Collingwood in southern Ontario. The Blue Mountains are generally in Grey county, same part of the world.

Beer tankard lid… nice find..

Love the information and research you showed on The Spot token. More of this please; I love learning about your treasures. ❤❤❤

Great finds Brad!!

I so enjoy learning so much about the past generations!! I binge watch your videos for hours, music is so relaxing. You are quite a great teacher!!

On the knife...I say its like an old utility knife...maybe used for leather work.

Good afternoon from the UK 🇬🇧

Great dig. I'd say the knife is for carving.

There is as well a Haverhill, NH on the Vermont border in the great north woods. Just as an other Haverhill possibility.

Awesome hunt!! Bizarre finds are always welcome! Haha

I have a wool overcoat I bougth off a street seller in Athens, OH, home of Ohio University, in 1983 for $10.00. It was made in the 1930's in Parkerburg, West Virginia in the 1930's. I had paid a seamstress $50 to restore and leave the original markings. It is 2023 and I have worn that long coat to work two times to work in Jacksonville, FL.

3:50 looks like the top of a beer stein, German pot drinking vessel with ornate hinged lid?

pretty moon stone on that cuff. real popular in the 60's and 70's. lid goes to a stein I beleive

I think you found Bullwinkle's out house ! lol. Blue Mountain are Tractor Supply brand pants.

top to beer stein. ---bangle is solid circle , bracelet is separate links

lid to a tankard...brewski ...whitetail poop can look bigger after winter after being freeze dried then wet and drying again..could be whitails yarded up in that spot and pooped all over...but of course it could be moose also

The blue mountains are in eastern Pa. schuykkill county and going to Jim thrope PA

The mystery top looks like it could be a stein lid. Maybe not but growing up my grandad collected steins and some had lids kind of similar

Well my thought is a maple knife . Great finds

The 'Blue Mountain' button comes from a pair of jeans. My wife found them currently being sold at Tractor Supply Co. and they might be available elsewhere as well. Too bad you couldn't pack out a bunch of those moose droppings - They'd be great in your compost pile for your garden!

Blue mountains are in New South Wales, Australia 😊

That is such a beautiful item the "Cruette Set" handle. Whata wonderful find! All Seasons in one day! Vermont!!!

Hi Brad, thanks for your video! I learn so much. That silver bracelet looks like moonstone , not opal. But, I could be wrong as we didnt really get a good closeup look.

About the knife: Skinning or fleshing knife. 'The Hook' - a flue hook

Probably said already, but the blue mountain button is from tractor supply co. Blue mountain is their house brand of pants.

Blue mountain is the name of a high school near Wells River VT. I love how you are constantly improving the quality and content of your videos, always wondered about the crotal bell thing, keep up the great work!

Looks like a handle to wind some kind of mechanism maybe always enjoy time in the woods while you poke around looking for bubbles curious nature not everybody has it but the ones that do they get it kind of like driving down along country road and seeing a deserted house and wondering who lived there and what was their life like pieces of a puzzle have a great day thanks again

Great bit of adventure this week Brad!!! A wide array of finds.

I live in the valley of the blue mountains….northeast Pa…near Deleware River….I enjoy your channel….subbed long ago .

I think the hinge thing is a Lantern Lid from a carriage. Seems top heavy for a Stein and not right material. Paring knife has a small blade for coring apples etc.

I agree...a beer stein.

The moose were having a meeting with Bigfoot to try new methods for being elusive. 😀

Nice I like that sweet bass.

Yes, agree is a been stein lid.

That little knife blade with lead looks like crooked knife the lead was the fastener to a particular handle that was used by woodsman that was used like a draw knife I have a collection of these crooked knifes most of them the blade is held in place whith wire or leather sinew and even ash splints and lead like you found the blade was made to user application you can google crooked knife and native American call it mocotagan check image and you will be surprised the variety of shapes ble shape and handle som are very elaborate Luc

Hey Brad. This was the perfect episode! It had stories, beautiful photos, amazing custom background music, wildlife stories, suspense, etc, etc, etc. amazing finds as well! This one is going in my saved list. 😊

Really interesting finds today! I laughed out loud when you kept poking the star jelly with a stick - lol

The moose scat looks to be indicating a wintering yard, but who knows...the secret order of the moose?

What an adventure! You found the moose toilet AND sasquatch ejaculate! 🤣Love the crotal bell though, shame it wasn't complete... See you next week!

I believe that small blade you found was part of an old "patch knife" used to trim the excess linen before one would ram the shot down his muzzle loader barrel. They were fairly common during the pioneer days.

Nice finds

That top looks just like an old German beer stein, I was in Frankfort Germany back in 1974 and that lid looked very much like one I know dated 1870. That very top is a perfect match for the one my Mother paid $350.00 for back then and the stein had the date 1873 I believe stamped on the bottom along with the makers name. I do know that $350 was a lot back then but sadly it was broken while being shipped back to Georgia and the military paid the cost plus $100 because it was worth a lot more.

I agree with the lid being for a beer stein
