    As someone who had lead poisoning for over 2 years without knowing it (from historic home renovations), being very sick most of that time, then taking several years to recover, i have anxiety watching someone handle pure lead 😳 To think they handled that stuff, breathed it in while working with it....I can't even imagine how sick our ancestors were and didn't realize it was the lead!

    Hey Brad! I've been watching your channel for a year or so now and I really love what you do. I got my mom into your channel and she just surprised me with a GMMD Keychain! I love that you signed it yourself, and made a quality product. I appreciate everything you do! She is so hooked that she bought her first metal detector! So glad to see you continue awesome work. I'm really tickled to death when she suprised me with it today!
    Again, thank you for creating such beautiful work. I hope that you and your family are safe in these turbulent time.

    I didn’t care much for history class in school. They should teach It differently and ignite the students imagination. Your videos are a history lesson and fun and exciting. I am not saying take students metal detecting. Maybe invite a guy like you to their class and let you show them some history. Thank you for all of your work and these amazing videos. Oh by the way I am watching so closely that I am waving the flies away. 🤓

    This place shouted gentleman's hunting retreat. Quite common in the UK to find a building in a remote area used as such. Lost shoe buckles, lead for making balls, buttons, horse tack and axes. Aside from some spoons nothing 'homely' or feminine.

    • @Objective-Observer
      @Objective-Observer 4 года назад +1

      I was going to suggest a Transitory 'situation.' With everything, except the axes, those items would fit in with a Church or meeting house, as well. Perhaps the axes were needed to build the structure.
      Your suggestions better fits the location.

      Lead, different shoe buckles and a lot of different buttons. Regrettably it appears good men died here. No doubt it could have been an unrecorded lodge, a meeting place for people dedicated to the crown or American milita. My wife came up with this hypothesis and I added a few guesses. In respect for the possibilities that lie within.

    Hi Brad, another great video. When you were talking about bears and various critters it reminded me of something which I hope you'll all find amusing.
    While exploring an old temple in Jordan my (ex) wife was about 5 yards behind me. I suddenly heard hissing. For some stupid reason I thought "sounds like a gas leak". (not many snakes in the the UK). I looked down and there was a snake which disappeared between some rocks. I turned to my (ex) wife and said "snake". We hadn't been married very long and I didn't know that she was paranoid about snakes. Two seconds later she was about 100 yards away, there was also some screaming involved. I bet she broke all Olympic records on that dash :)
    I love your channel but you should travel to Europe one day and find much older artefacts.

    You need an Aussie cork hat. In Australia in the 19th and early 20th centuries, people in rural areas wore broad brimmed hats with corks suspended from the brim which moved slightly as people walked and were very effective at keeping bugs away. These are rarely worn today except as costumes.

    With all of the uses that they had for lead, I was wondering if you ever came across any historical documentation of it's effect upon people's general health back in the colonial era? I am almost 70 years old and I can remember helping my father melt lead back when I was a boy. He was a plumber and pipe-fitter and they still used lead to join the old cast iron sewer pipes. My Dad died at age 35 with lesions in his esophagus and bowels and I always wondered if the amount of lead fumes that he ingested contributed to his death.

    Hi Brad. Great vid. I just wanted to say That 50 something years ago my buddies and I got into digging through old cellar holes in our area. Most were abandoned in the 1800s and early 19s. We never found gold, coins or jewels which is what we were looking for. We did find loads of belts, buckles, rotted clothing and especially old shoes. Throughout my life I've been around a lot of old farms and property that had history. All the barns had a spot with old coveralls boots and shoes tossed in a corner or hung on a nail. It's still that way. keep up the good work. Take care. Frank in Mass.

    Well with all the single styles of shoe buckles a single knee buckle, some lead and buttplate from a pistol, maybe it was an old retired one legged pirate hiding out in the mountains.......hahahah
    thanks for sharing

    I grew up on my grandfathers dairy farm in Stanford Vermont. It was located at the top of Sumner road. My uncles always told me grandpa hated banks and would bury his silver dollars inside lead pipes around the farm but no one ever knew where or ever found any. I now live on my farm in central Illinois. Last time I was there, 1990, there was nothing left but the foundations of the house, barn and saw mill. When I look at satellite pictures it all looks different now. My grandfather was Eugene Sumner. He was the county sheriff, the county game warden and the county road commissioner during his life there.
