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.
Yes, you are correct. These lamps are the ones with the mantles. Our's hung from the ceiling and was not at all decorative.
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!
God Bless you your mom. Dirt fishing is the best, it clears your mind of everything and is the best way to take a walk in the woods : )
Hi, good for you. I wish you happy hunting. Your Mom as your Angel now, you never know what you may find. ❤ Joyce🙏🇺🇸🌹
Good for you ...having your mom for so long! Have fun metal detecting now!
Hi, jen ...I 'm also in the Berkshire Mtn. region and have been metal detecting for over 50 years, own about 3 or 4 machines all paid for themselves through the treasures that I have unearthed, currently living in Dutchess County, N.Y. and retired.
God bless you and may your memories of your mom comfort you and remind you of her love. Enjoy your metal detecting!
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.
Agree repair person!!!
I was thinking the same thing. A Time piece tinker
Clock maker
That's what I was thinking.
I was also thinking this..
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..." 😂
Hahahahaha...timing IS everything!
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!
Brad is very comfortable talking to the camera. His content is well planned and edited. Audio and video are perfect. He is confident in his knowledge and humble about what he doesn't know.
Maybe they went through so many clocks and watches because they were going through some HARD TIMES 😂
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.
That Hoover Token has got to be the coolest find ever in the history of detectorists! Okay...well, top 3! ;) What a Treasure.
I own a Waltham watch and live near the old Waltham factory. They were once the premier watchmakers in the US.
This was a good one, Great finds and a pleasure to "watch" as always !!
The handle you were uncertain about is most likely a bell striker for the alarm.
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 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.
It is an air pump for a gas lantern probably early Coleman.
Let’s go with the 1930’s Super Soaker! 😂
Friday morning never fails to entertain at GMMD , hope to see you again next week!
A Great day for relics !
Always a great video but most importantly you take us away from this crazy world we live in. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Someone probably chucked that 4 years of prosperity token out of anger.
That token is definitely trying to tell you something Brad, Probably was the appropriate time to find it!
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!
Waltham Watch was a big deal. My mother (1926-2021) used to talk about it. They were based in Waltham, MA. One of my ancestors used to work there. They were the main supplier for railroad timepieces for decades, so yeah, I think you're right.
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*
American pocket watches were known to be the best in the world, and wrist watches the Swiss were the best.
@@stubstoo6331 yes. I know very little about any of them. I only know what little I do, because my manager collects pocket watches. He has a large collection of Waltham pocket watches & works on them himself. I my self know very little to nothing about them. They intrigue me, but I have not gone down that rabbit hole yet.
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 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.
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!
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.
one of my favorite metal detecting youtubers.........each episode is a time traveling movie.........best wishes from Greece
Hi Brad, again. I think the large base is from an oil lamp, likely a nice decorative one.
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 !
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... 🖖👍🐝💪🐸
The syringe looks a lot like an old Coleman pump for the early lanterns, seems to be the size of the one I have.
It looked like some type of piston, to me. I think we are on the same page.
I thought it looked like a dispenser for paste wormer for livestock.
Definitely a lantern or lamp pump from the early 1900s I have several that I use on my early coleman lamps and lanterns
At 7:54, I think that's the bell clapper. It appears to be an alarm clock.
Veterinary syringe? Horses, sheep, cows
Bicycle pump.
Wow Brad that was a awesome video with all the time pieces. Time will only tell why so many were lost
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!
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?)
👍😊 😁 they were just killing time 🤷♂️.
cool finds, my imagination starts running wild.
My maiden name is Ball, and I have a little collection of Ball jars. That little jar is great! Love the color.
The tadpole shaped object on the side of the first clock you unearthed is the striker for the hourly chime bell.
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.
Joe is right. I have several old items with these pretty bases-- lamps, candlesticks, a vanity mirror.
My first thought was vanity mirror base. There was one on my mom's dresser that was just like Brad"s.
Hoover Prosperity Token:
The original " That didn't age well " meme.
I have found the 3 Merry Widow tins with Fifty Cents instead of 1$. Maybe they worked so well they raised the price.
Inflation 😂
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
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.
let's go let's go treasure✌👵
Great hunt my friend love that ball mason jar and the oil lamp base
Think you might need to invest in a bottle probe Brad. Makes locating bottle pits so much easier than digging random test pits!
the figure and base are parts of a fancy table lamp, my pretty sure guess
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.
hammer on the clock is for the chime
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!!
Some awesome finds. Very exciting day.
The thing sticking out from the clock gears is the clapper for the bell. It was an alarm clock.
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.
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.
Maybe finding all those clock and watch pieces is fates way of telling you that your time is up!
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????
I looked up the 3 Merry Widows REUSABLE condoms. Well that’s something I didn’t need to know. Thanks for the videos
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...
Cherub certainly looks like a candle holder
“ Still time left in the day” You uncovered plenty of time .
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 😂 🤣
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.
The cast iron piece you found looks like the base to a stand to a wood stove poker holder. I have one as well.
Had a browns beach jacket and vest. Loved them
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..
What a great time.
What a day for amazing, unique finds!
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!
The lever on the clock mechanism was either the hammer for the alarm bell or the lever to turn the alarm on or off
Pretty cool artifacts, Brad! Keep on digging...
That cherub went to the decorative base you found. It was an old table oil lamp. The font sat on top of the cherub.
Very cool finds this week, great show as always. Thank you
Another great show. Thank you!
Great Friday morning and thank you Brad! Make it a great day ✊🏻🥰
Looks like a Coleman air pump to pressure up lanterns, stoves, etc.
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!
My favorite so far.
The imagination runs wild.
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!
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..
Thank you Brad for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and amazing finds !
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.
Brad, those were some great finds, hopefully you will find that pocket watch soon. 👍❤️🇺🇸
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.
What great finds.
Nice area to dig, I think that lever thing on the clock body was the clanger for the bell of an alarm clock.
Yup… specifically to stop the alarm bell!
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.
Good luck finding one with the glass still intact.. got one i bought and broke it several yrs. later..
Very interesting finds today.
Nice hunt Brad , i enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
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.
Always look forward to your videos
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 thumbnail is very nice.
It matches the tone and pace of the video.
There... I didn't just say "awesome video" again this time. 😊
Good morning from Copperhill Tn.
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!
The part you couldn't identify was the striker on an alarm clock. There used to be a metal bell on top.
