      I like how you explain telling a story that nobody else could tell. Really makes me want to go out and pick a tector up and talk to folks around here about digging their properties.

    That silver half egg shaped thing with a bunch of holes looks like it was used to steep tea leaves

    31:23 is a split bolt (missing 1/2) used as a ground clamp by utility company's for over 50 years, still used today

  • @TheMikeTownsend

    The original "Church Key" was a bottle opener, that kind of looked like an ornate church-key. Think of a skeleton key with a big loop for the keyring. Lots of guys carried them to open bottles of beer. Then later when beer cans become more common, the triangle opener was added to the other end. Then they eventually replaced the ring with the bent pry bar because they were cheaper and easier to stamp manufacture. The old name just stayed with them, even though they no longer resembled a church-key.

    That spoon bowl with holes in was half of a tea making device. The missing half had a second bowl which had a sprung hinge. The spoon was filled with tea and used for making an individual cup of tea. I think they were sold in Woolworths stores in the UK. My mother had one 65 years ago.

    • @lesHanalala
      @lesHanalala 5 лет назад +2

      That's how I make my loose tea! It's just a perforated spoon, but the handle and the other half of the bowl portion are missing there!

    One of the many of reasons I love your videos is your sharing your finds as you uncover them. We would frequently have mallards nest close to the house and enjoyed "hatching day" as mama would lead a trail of ducklings to the nearest water which was almost 2 blocks away. Thanks for the memories.

    The spoon with the holes looks like it's for making tea.

  • @StalkerWolf
    @StalkerWolf 5 лет назад

    The brass nut with the piece threaded into it looks like a split bolt connector missing it's top half. One company that makes them is Burndy. It's a connector commonly used to connect power to houses from the pole. The black balls at the top of the service entry on most homes have one of these inside.

    That brass nut with piece inside is part split bolt electrical connector. Great show, thanks 😎

  • @dougthevolfan
    @dougthevolfan 5 лет назад +1

    That brass nut is actually an electrical silica bronze split bolt. Linesmen used them and can could be explained by the u shaped nail found nearby. Guy most likely had it fall from his bag when servicing the power lines.

    • @jeanniebuchholz9923
      @jeanniebuchholz9923 5 лет назад

      The nail or big steeple was used on wooden U guards. That's where I've run across them anyhow, and explains some of the other related finds.

    Some of the old lead type didn’t have letters or numbers as they were for spacing, like between sentences. A narrow space was an ‘en’ space and a wider space was an ‘em’ space. We used a Heidelberg press to create the lead type. The thing was old and huge and loud. It had a fire in its bowels that would melt the lead. It had a brass looking keyboard that would form the lines of type as quick as you could type. As long as you typed slow and steady. Oh crap... I’m that guy. The old and boring guy. Let’s talk more about Bacardi 151! Thanks, Chig!🙋🏻‍♂️
