My mother, who I've been caring for for 2 years, just passed away. I've been watching your videos now for about a year. I even watched them with my mom. She was 96, and actually recognized some of the items you would find 😊. So now that I have time, I purchased myself a metal detector! I live in the Berkshires, so I'm so excited to start my journey into a new hobby! Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to. And for your amazing videos!

With all the clock and watch pieces that you have found, I believe that the home owner was a repair person and that the syringe you found was for oiling the works.

Not a syringe but an Air Pump used on old Coleman table lamps to pressurize the fuel tank. They later built the pump into the tank but early ones before 1930 used the separate pump like the one you found.

Right after the Herbert Hoover token, when you found the broken crock pot, you said "I've always wanted to find a complete crock." That struck me as funny. "Good for 4 years of prosperity" is what my dad would have referred to as "a complete crock..." 😂

I've been watching this channel for a couple years and look forward to new posts every Friday. I also love watching the older ones, too. This is the best metal detecting channel I've come across. I absolutely love everything about it, including the music written by Brad himself, the multiple camera angles, the wildlife shots, and all the info on his finds. I'm unable to hike or metal detect myself, but living vicariously through these videos makes me so happy! Thank you, Brad! (and occasional guests, too.) You are a man of many talents and I wish you the best!

That Hoover Token has got to be the coolest find ever in the history of detectorists! Okay...well, top 3! ;) What a Treasure.

Maybe they went through so many clocks and watches because they were going through some HARD TIMES 😂

I have a complete Waltham pocket watch that was my Great grandfather's from the early 1900's plated in 14k gold. Has the same face as the one you've dug I believe. Also, that's definitely a cast iron lamp base.

MYSTERY ITEM: It reminds me of a grease pump that might have been used for lubricating the roller-nose of a chain saw blade. Not as old as one would like. I had a similar one that I bought during the 1960s for a Remington saw I owned.

There's a good chance that watch face came from a railroad watch. Railroad watches were required to have Arabic numerals rather than Roman numerals and it also appears to have had a second hand. Nice find!

Always a great video but most importantly you take us away from this crazy world we live in. Thanks for sharing.

I have found the 3 Merry Widow tins with Fifty Cents instead of 1$. Maybe they worked so well they raised the price.

Friday morning never fails to entertain at GMMD , hope to see you again next week!

The syringe looks a lot like an old Coleman pump for the early lanterns, seems to be the size of the one I have.

This was a good one, Great finds and a pleasure to "watch" as always !!

The pocket watch is from (Walth ham). A city in Massachusetts. The company was at one point one of the sole watch/clock companies in the U.S. The Waltham Watch Company, also known as the American Waltham Watch Co. and the American Watch Co., was a company that produced about 40 million watches, clocks, speedometers, compasses, time delay fuses, and other precision instruments in the United States of America between 1850 and 1957. The company's historic 19th-century manufacturing facilities in Waltham, Massachusetts have been preserved as the American Waltham Watch Company Historic District. *WIKIPEDIA*

About 100 years ago, my great-grandmother lived up on a mountain in Okanagan County in Washington State. Her closest neighbor was a sibling of President Hurbert Hoover. We celebrated her 100th birthday the same year as the County's 100th birthday. Just thought you might find that interesting.

Wow Brad that was a awesome video with all the time pieces. Time will only tell why so many were lost

hammer on the clock is for the chime

I don’t know if you have done this on older videos since I’m newer here, but it’d be cool for a little tour of how you have these items displayed in your home. Maybe as a filler after a detecting video.

Nice finds, Brad. I’m pretty sure the iron base you found is the base to a “ banquet oil lamp.” I do think the cherub part you found may have been the ‘stem’ between the base and the decorative part that held the kerosene. The clock and watch parts are really cool too! ( did you leave the lid behind on your blue glass canning jar?)

Veterinary syringe? Horses, sheep, cows

Awesome! Watch faces were usually made with glass. During the traditional dial-making process, a copper disc was used as the substrate for the dial. Enamel paste was then brushed on the back of the dial and enamel powder was applied to the front. As the dial was heated face-up, the enamel melted to produce a brilliant white glossy material.

That token is definitely trying to tell you something Brad, Probably was the appropriate time to find it!

Stumbled upon your videos a few weeks ago and I’m hopelessly addicted to them now. 😂Once I start watching them I keep going to another and another,etc. I’m clearly hooked. Loved todays as well. That broken bottle you found that had Hoosic on it is where I flyfish. Cool stuff Brad! Keep it going !

The handle you were uncertain about is most likely a bell striker for the alarm.

what you call the Syringe, is an air pump to pressure up the old style white gas, naptha gas lanterns, the type that used the mantels. usually, a household had a few lanterns, put only one pressuring pump.

I’m of the,”nothing happens without a reason” and the predictable result of the coins promise and the reality of what really happened. Let’s pray that history doesn’t repeat itself, God Bless you for taking us along and reminding us of our past history, the good and the bad!

Hi Brad, again. I think the large base is from an oil lamp, likely a nice decorative one.

one of my favorite metal detecting youtubers.........each episode is a time traveling movie.........best wishes from Greece

Keep up the good work Brad. Look forward every Friday and your video. I miss it up there. I used to live in NH and worked in Lebanon. Watching your vids reminds me of how beautiful it is up there.

“ Still time left in the day” You uncovered plenty of time .

the figure and base are parts of a fancy table lamp, my pretty sure guess

The JG Byars hutch chunk is pretty neat. I bought an abandoned house in Hoosick and the previous owner mustve dug bottles all the time...probably about 40 of those JG Hutchinson bottles. NY DOT did an archeological dig at a JG Byars site. Tons of cool.finds and a great report.

Looks like a lamp base to me. I bet the cherub goes with the cast iron lamp base. All those time pieces was strange/amazing. Love the watch face. The Hoover coin told a story.

Oh boy, I can hear my dad now saying, "Statue, cherub? " as in (That you, Cherub?)... har har har. Nothing like a little vaudeville to lighten the day.... oh, and then it turns out to be a light base...

I commented on the "Plunger type" find from a past video at 12:05. It's a sash pin. It's set in the sash of a window, as the window goes up/down you can insert the spring plunger in the run track. In all my years I've only seen 3... 2 in different windows and the one I found in a box of junk, in near new shape. They're the perfect window controller... 🖖👍🐝💪🐸

That place definitely needs to be checked again on a return visit. Maybe get up there in the early morning and spend the entire day rechecking the homesite. Maybe bring your buddies to help cover more ground.

Great video! As a child my grandmother and mother worked for a local lady who lived in a remodeled 1800's home and in the original log part of the structure she had an antique and very ornate fireplace hardware stand with all the tools. That cast iron base is very reminescent of that set I remember seeing many times as a child. Maybe????

Think you might need to invest in a bottle probe Brad. Makes locating bottle pits so much easier than digging random test pits!

12:57 I dug a large plunger like this that has Morgan & Wright Chicago around the cap. The plunger part is barbed and I found out it was a pneumatic tire pump. Morgan and Wright had the first bicycle tire that used air from my research. Wish I could post a picture to show you but it is very similar to yours

The tadpole shaped object on the side of the first clock you unearthed is the striker for the hourly chime bell.

What a phenomenal hunt! I have yet to find a 3 merry widows tin. I love the Hoover coin. I enjoy finding off the wall different items for sure. Thanks Brad!!

That watch face comes from a pocket watch made at the Waltham Watch Company. A huge brick factory building along the Charles River in Waltham, Ma. Judging by the face plate it was made in the early 1900's. I believe it to be apartments/condos at this point. But that was definitely made here in Ma. I used to collect old Pocket Watches (count your jewels) and Smoking Memorabilia (Lighters, Ashtrays and Cigarette Cases) as well as Bottles/Silverware/Sterling...

You might have mentioned this in another video. Back then, there wasn’t garbage collection. It’s probably not unusual to find a dump beside or near every old homestead. I lived in a farm for many years. There was a midden at the back of the property where we found all kinds of glass, metal, and other old artifacts.

My maiden name is Ball, and I have a little collection of Ball jars. That little jar is great! Love the color.

Awesome bits of History in this one! I look forward to the end of the week every week! Green Mountain Metal Detecting on Fridays, Mason Merc Metal Detecting on Saturdays! Brad Let us know when you want to come over to New Hampshire and pound some cellar holes with us, we are 3 hours from you. Last weekend we dug with your old friends Jim and Kendall. Awesome job and another great video as always! Tons of pocket watch pieces! My favorite piece is the Herbert Hoover political token!

Let’s go with the 1930’s Super Soaker! 😂

Great hunt my friend love that ball mason jar and the oil lamp base

At 7:54, I think that's the bell clapper. It appears to be an alarm clock.

I own a Waltham watch and live near the old Waltham factory. They were once the premier watchmakers in the US.

That cylinder is probably from a gas lantern or stove. Before the built in pump you used those to pressurize the tank

A Great day for relics !

I looked up the 3 Merry Widows REUSABLE condoms. Well that’s something I didn’t need to know. Thanks for the videos

Hello Brad, that appears to be a Waltham Railroad Porcelain Dial Pocket Safety Pinion Watch made circa 1897. Cool find! I really enjoy your videos. No crazy music, or fluff. I like that you take your time and really show us what you find regardless if it is a great find or not. Keep up the great work!

I want to thank you for your videos. I've just started watching videos and I really like yours because I was raised in Vermont and loved to wander the woods when I was a teenager 50 years ago. I've slowed down a lot and so watching your videos lets me see the woods as I remember them. Your photography is beautiful and really gives a sense of what it is like.

Porcelain dials were only found on better watches, now you need to seek the next step up in watches -- solid gold! They probably wouldn't have just tossed those!

The Herbert Hoover campaign token is a great find.. Yea the 4 yr. prosperity on the obverse is irony.. but my grandfather said he was the best prisident this country ever had and also many others his age said the same thing... Im old myself but not that old.. He was 91 when he past. This was in 1997... love the history in all that stuff..

I still have some of those old metal syringe in my barn. They had a finger ring on the end. Screw the end off to replace needle. Used for cattle and horses back in the day.

Such a day full of variety? A average detectorist would be in a detectorist Heaven! So many treasures to fill a shadow box with!!!!! You are such a Lucky man Brad! Be safe.

at 12'00 I'm guessing a hand pump for a Coleman type pressure gas lantern or lamp. Later on they became built in the lantern

What a day for amazing, unique finds!

Brad, those were some great finds, hopefully you will find that pocket watch soon. 👍❤️🇺🇸

I'm saying, "tossed"! It's funny I've been watching some of your videos from 4 years ago and your voice was higher pitched than it is now 😂 🤣

It is odd to find all of the time pieces but very cool. Many treasure opportunities at that spot. I do hope you return for some bottle digging! Well done, Brad!

👍😊 😁 they were just killing time 🤷‍♂️.

The thing sticking out from the clock gears is the clapper for the bell. It was an alarm clock.

Pretty cool artifacts, Brad! Keep on digging...

I'm pretty sure the "syringe" you found in the spring, (11:36 in this vid), was actually a measuring device for a muzzle loader. Specifically a "pan primer" for a flintlock.

Great Friday morning and thank you Brad! Make it a great day ✊🏻🥰

The cylinder with the piston reminds me of a small bicycle tire pump I had in the early '60s. I'm going with a pump of some kind.

Always enjoy watching your videos. Love the shots around the forest showing the different plants and such as well as the streams and springs from the areas you search. Keep up the wonderful videos. I also so enjoy the music you provide especially for the videos. Thank you.

The Alum. pipe with the steel shaft, is the remains of an air pump for a bicycle tire.

Very cool finds this week, great show as always. Thank you

Thank you Brad for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and amazing finds !

Just a guess, but I recall my grandfather having a couple pocket watches, which I inherited, they are relatively fragile, needing to be wound everyday. Since they were used daily, subject to wear and tear, they were dropped or jarred and stop working.

Someone my have already recognized your syringe as a brining needle. It would have been used to inject brine into meat to preserve it. I found one last year at an old homesite marked Morton Salt Company Meat Pump. Great finds Love your channel.

Another great show. Thank you!

You would fill the burner with white gas put the cap on. It had a one-way valve that you’d pump air through to pressurize the white gas for the Bernard

Brad, we continue to enjoy each video as a family every Friday night! It is our official start to the weekend! Thank you, and happy hunting!

Nice interesting finds!! The piece that looks like a top for a stove might actually be the base of a clock where a glass globe fit onto.

@12:41,that looks like a pump used to pressurize a coleman style lantern or stove,the cups would have been leather,and there would have been a nipple on the end with a check ball.

That cherub went to the decorative base you found. It was an old table oil lamp. The font sat on top of the cherub.

You should check out the 100% complete 1901 waltham railroad pocket watch I found next to turn of the century trolly tracks used to run.... I think finding a complete pocket watch is more rare than finding a gold coin....

Awesome video brad thank you so very much for sharing hope you have a wonderful weekend 👍👍❤️

Maybe finding all those clock and watch pieces is fates way of telling you that your time is up!

The lever on the clock mechanism was either the hammer for the alarm bell or the lever to turn the alarm on or off

Poor Herbert - such big dreams and they came crashing down around him. Ah, well, such is life, I suppose. On occasion. Anyway, I think the iron cap is the prettiest find. The clock face was a "wow" for me. Do you think finding all those clock parts might be a message being relayed to you about the importance of time in your life? Hmmm. Going back a few more times sounds like a good idea. Oh, I spotted a good puzzle in there among the shots of your surroundings as well - the tree stumps towards the end. Thanks for sharing your work.

The thumbnail is very nice. It matches the tone and pace of the video. There... I didn't just say "awesome video" again this time. 😊

Someone probably chucked that 4 years of prosperity token out of anger.

The lever on the clock was probably on the top of the clock where the bell was. That would move back and forth striking the bell which went off when the alarm was set.

The cast iron piece you found looks like the base to a stand to a wood stove poker holder. I have one as well.

You found the stuff i have in my house.. But mine are complete.. I use to collect old pocket watches,still have some.. most coin silver cases.. that looks similiar to a black powder despenser..the syringe thing..the small hole at the end maybe not.. but the old wind up clock parts are nice i have several old clocks . None handed down,i bought these..love em..

The tube you found earlier may have been a black powder measure for measuring a charge for a rifle. The large tube you found is too big for that, but may be is some sort of hand air pump.

The giant syringe is actually a pump for old Coleman style lamps and lanterns. The inside end was not rubber but was leather. The leather cup would be oiled and would catch the air to pressurize the lamp or lantern.

Waltham clock is actually in Waltham Ma and is still making clocks and watches to this day. They might be able to shed some light on when that clock face is was made.

The part you couldn't identify was the striker on an alarm clock. There used to be a metal bell on top.

Some awesome finds. Very exciting day.

Hey Brad...I always enjoy watching you unearth cool artifacts.

Old folks were smart! They would never throw anything in case it could be used or re- used again as spare parts etc.
