- Hoping to find treasures in our abandoned property, we cleared the attic and made a dramatic and scary discovery.
We found lots of treasures, but one find brought on a cold sweat.
Then the Police came...

What a fun rummage through a fascinating attic. It looks like you got some great treasures. My favorite was the spurs I think
Glad you enjoyed it. I loved the spurs too.
Gun powder
Thank you
Love your accent! Northern Ireland? I,m Canadian, but originally from Ballymena-Carnlough!
Donegal. 😊
Hello there! I talked to my cousin today. His family used to live on your farm. I asked about some of your finds in the attic. His father used to give injections to whoever needed them. That is why there was so many medicine bottles. The gunpowder was for making bullets and they also used it to make a well. The same one you were cleaning. My cousin used to help his dad and uncles fill the bullets. He wants to visit one day and answer any questions you have about all the things you found. Have a great evening!😊
So now we know how the well was opened. Thanks 😊
And your cousin will be most welcome.
That was a powder horn
Thank you 😊
That's fascinating.
I love when city folk find common items and don't know what they are. Great video
Indeed 😊
I know all about rural farm implements used in Ireland but Portugal is my new home and I love learning. (Meraid) 😊
and what are they??
I would bet "city folk" have things that are common items to them, that other folks don't know what they are. Not a real kind comment MT.
More like folks from a deweaponed society. A bit of old ammo is no big deal. The old powder is a bit more worrying, but the LAST thing I'd do is put it in a car and drive around with it. And, the hon is almost certainly a powder horn.
How very intersting,you wouldnt know what you would find,so enjoyable watching you two going through the old stuff xx
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
my husband says the bowl at 6:17 and the several metal thingies that are vaguely sickle-shaped were used to extract sap from trees. and my grandfather had a horn just like the one you found filled with gunpowder from when he used to hunt in his youth. about Portugal it's good to keep in mind that many men from the previous generations were deployed to the wars in Africa, in the countries that were Portuguese colonies then. many sad mementos from that era survive. I urge you to keep in mind that many people from the previous generations also kept dangerous pesticides and many of those are still dangerous. back in the day my Portuguese in-laws had a lovely orchard with beautiful plums, and my husband told me they would spray them with anything (back-alley or acquaintance sourced) that someone told them would keep bugs away.
That would make sense if they're for sap as we found lots of the terracotta pots for collecting the resin on the land. We're being careful with all the poisonous things. Yes, the colonies could play a big part in the history. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
What fun this was! Reminded me of cleaning out my Dad's garage, when I found what I thought were corroded sticks of dynamite. I had the same reaction you did - stunned frozen with fear - and called the police twice. Turns out they were flares. The police enjoyed coming out and hung around to see what I was finding! My dad was quite a collector so I have lots of his old bottles and an old powder horn also. But watching you, I can actually smell and feel the dust! You guys really should be wearing masks when sorting through old powders and poisons. Fun stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. We probably should have worn masks 😷 if we’d realised what it was like but we got so excited ... 😀
Thank you for your great tutorial. It was very educational. I also commented on the horn being a black powder horn. I'm surprised they didn't know what it was.
This was interesting.. I hazard a guess that the metre bit might have something to do with leather making??? Possible templates.. I thought the holes might be to help with threading the leather?? I was going to say shoe making and the you pulled out the clog
This is definitely the best part of my morning watching the two of you tinkering with those relics and guessing what they could be for. Thank you for sharing this little bit of adventure 😊 ❤️
Thank you for sharing your enjoyment. 😊
That horn you found is a powder horn for an old musket/muzzle loader firearm. I used to explore old abandoned houses in my youth back in the late 70s when I was around 17 years old. Some of the things that were left behind were fascinating. I never took anything from the houses but I would read some old news papers and letters.
The letters are fascinating. We love a good rummage 😊
@@NearbyVeggies Thats what I thought the horn was.
Thank you 😊
I want to know what’s in the letters
I live in Portugal and I'm also a hunter, so I have a firearms license and some knowledge of Portuguese firearms laws. Don't worry about the court. You're not charged of anything, at most you are only a witness. I think GNR in your village doesn't have much work to do, so they sent the case to the local court. Maybe you should contact the public prosecutor office at the court and submit your video as evidence just to prove you found the gunpowder and ammo in the attic. Good luck with the house!
Thanks, Eduardo. The GNR said something about witnesses and court and a judge. As you say, it’s probably just procedure and we have the video to show how we found it. They did tell us that they had been called to a house with a live grenade packed into a wall!
Taking a bit of time to get all the licences together to get the renovations started but it will happen eventually. 😊
I know some of what you might feel or believe is trash. Someone who collects would love to have or buy from you. The hair clippers alone, even the broken one was fixable. Those things would be come display pieces. Great video, Thank you
We kept the good clippers. 😊
Parabens agiram da forma certa com os explosivos, um grande casal, um abraço desde Bragança. PORTUGAL.
Obrigados. 😊👍
The blackpowder is very stable and not dangerous despite age . The shot shells and primers etc are collectable .
Thank you
My Grandfather used to fill shells and had the press for it of course. He would fill orders for the men at work and some of the locals
"Hurry up Dan or we'll be here til tomorrow"... a few minutes later "oh look, little spurs that look like chickens" LOL I love these old finds, trying to figure out what different things were used for.
When we find something interesting all sense of time disappears. 😂
@@NearbyVeggies it’s like when you go fishing and nothings biting for hours and then you get a little nibble or you finally get something and then you want to stay for hours more. Lol. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours. Loved it and all the little do dads you found. But I have to be honest that I was afraid you were going to find a body or something. Lol
It was exactly like you said. Not sure what we’d have done if there was a body 😱
Oh wow....that brough back a whole lot of memories to me. Some of those things you found, I recognized as bits and pieces of old things my grandfather had in his old sheds, and we kids would go on the hunt for anything old like that when we were at his farm. We lived on the other side of the road which divided Grandpa's farm in two but their house was set back off the road about 500 metres from ours. I remember some of those things there that my Dad would also use....and then later in years, my ex and I would buy a house, renovate it and then sell it, move onto the next one and do the same. I loved renovating and I can see the humungous job you guys have ahead of you. But good on you for having a go.
Wow. Great to see you here. The farm is beautiful and we plan to start the house renovation in 2023.
What a lovely couple
I enjoyed watching you take all the stuff from the attic apart
Well good luck
Looking forward to seeing your program again
Thanks, Miriam. 👍
The tapered wooden dowel is for spinning yarn... You put raw cotton or wool on the dowel and then draw the material off the end while spinning the dowel. It is the small manual version of a spinning wheel.
Thank you.
Not an enema 😅 It's a powder horn for the old muzzle loaders. Really enjoyed the video 😊
Thank you 😊
You made me laugh by turning the spurs into chickens. I'm up here cracking up. Very funny.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😂
The glass tubes with the bulbous ends are called hygrometers. They are used for testing in making wine and beer.
Thank you. We should have shown these up close, Jonathan. A good suggestion but not so. We know what a hydrometer and hygrometer are. These are solid lumps of glass, not tubes. A couple have brass fixings on the end.
That long piece of wood might be a spindle (fuso) for a spinning wheel (roca de fiar). One of those would be a great find 😉
Everything we found was exciting. Would be nice if that wooden thing was for spinning . Thank you for the helpful comment, Ana.
@@NearbyVeggies exactly what I thought it was. A spindle for a spinning wheel. Anna's must think alike. LoL
Maybe the wooden "clogg" and the metal bits with "lacing" holes were for making shoes. I love watching people make shoes by hand and I think I've seen bits like that before. They can also help to stretch moist leather into shape...
Could indeed be the case. I only wonder how they worked. Thank you for your helpfulness,
@@NearbyVeggies When I saw the "riding bits", it could even be for making saddles or horse related leather work. The big belt also looks a bit like it's meant for a saddle perhaps... although I didn't get a good look at it.
We haven’t heard anything about horses in this area, but you never know.
The bent metal with lace holes , are oxen shoes the holes are nail holes. The horn with the plug is for gun powder
Thank you 😊
I just saw the beauty product Leite de Colônia , I live in Brazil and we still have that product here. It is very old, at least 70 years old. My mother used it all her life. She used it on a cotton ball and rubbed on her face as a cleansing. It takes off all make up. My father also used it on his neck and bald head for a deep cleaning (get out all pollution of a big city). You can also use it as a deodorant. A very old, simple, cheap and good product. I never knew they had it in Portugal.
Thanks Patricia. Perhaps someone brought it from Brazil! Amazing to know it still exists.
The best part was the chicken spurs. Hahaha
They definitely looked like chickens 🐓
The belt looks lovely on you, but, It is a girth that goes under the horses belly and attaches to each side of the saddle. But if the "shoe" fits wear it. LOL hehe, and the curled metal bits where used to hammer into sugar maple trees to gather the sap, a bucket would of course hang under it. Now a days a lot of folks attach hoses to drain in tanks. This was fun watching you both figure out the treasures from the old attic.
It’s always fun trying to figure things out and even better when you finally find out 😂
Thank you 😊
The reason the shells had holes where they were located is that an octopus ate them. The octopus use their beaks to drill through the shells in that spot because it makes them open up.
Amazing! That’s so interesting. Thank you 😊
@@NearbyVeggies Sea Stars (starfish) do the same thing with shells, putting the hole through at the hinge so it can open the shell easier. The shells look very old, having been worn by the water and sand
Great information 😊
Love video, it was fun. And you did the correct, going to the GNR. Que casal amoroso. 👍
Thank you so much, that's very kind. x
Farmers used blasting powder to remove rocks, to help remove tree roots and many people used to make their own bullets, so none of that surprises me, it’s very old farm and so finding stuff like that is far more normal than city people think.
Thank you
The chandelier drops will look lovely when washed and hung in a window❤️ I would have used the aerial as a plant climber😉 and the gunpowder would have had me running😳😂 people collect the oddest things.
The chandelier drops are really gorgeous but too big to have come from the house. so I do wonder where they originally came from. I still like the idea of a magic wand. The aerial was a funny colour and not that robust, but a good idea all the same. Sometimes you have to be brutal and get rid of stuff or you end up with stuff that you never get around to using.
@@NearbyVeggies you should see my garage😂
@@denisehayes195 You should see mine. haha
Oh WOW ... that was sooo interesting, I was transfixed !!!
Brilliant. Thank you so much 😊
Fun Little treasure hunt !!! Cheers !!
It was great fun 😄
The dynamo is to power a bicycle light, those glass thing looked like they were either old plumb bobs or pestle for crushing stuff for making potions. I'm a confirmed sticky beak and so I loved watching you both, it's so much fun going through other people's old stuff, thank you for shairing, I look forward to the next one. Cheers from Tasmania!
Thank you
Really enjoyed the video. Interesting finds. Let's hope we don't have to send you a postcard, or a cake with a file.
Thanks. Good to know there’s a possibility of escape should the worst happen. 😆
You guys !! Never a dull moment...
It certainly feels that way, Heidi 😊
Very obedient of you two
We are doing our best to be decent citizens in our new home country. 😊
First time here, now a subscriber. You are a very funny lady and I love how he laugh’s at all you say. Will have to find out your names. Now for a look at the other video’s. Bless 👍❤️
Thank you for joining us, Aileen. We have fun and laughs. Meraid and Dan 😊
Am❤ loving seeing your treasures. Have you thought about making a display of the powder horn, some empty cartridges ,and the little wood box of tools for loading the cartridges? What a wonderful keepsake. If you don't want to do that a museum would be able to use those historic items.
Maybe one day!
Hi. I think that piece of wood you found is an old spindle, it was used to wind woolen yarns.
Thank you, Luis. It seems that several people have suggested that’s what it is and we have two. 😊
Enjoyable vlog. You 2 don't do things by halves!🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed it. So true!
reloading stuff for shotgun shells. quite common for fowl hunters or clay shooters here in canada. rural portugal is also full of hunters
Yes indeed. But nobody is allowed to keep military issue bullets in the attic 😮
@@NearbyVeggies i must pass the question if it comes to portugal, but in canada the 7.62x39 round fmj is sold and allowed on all ranges, but forbidden to hunt with (full metal jacket) .the kalashnikov is only one weapon to use this caliber, there are lots of non fully auto guns on the market, that are legal to own. however, you used the proper way to discard them, much better than throwing life ammo into the garbage. love your content
at 6:36 into the video, those odd pieces of metal are parts of horse shoes. The square holes in them are for the nails that go into the hoof, and the flat parts cover injured parts of the horse's hoof that need to be covered until it heals, whether it's on the wall of the hoof, or the sole and frog of the hoof on the bottom. Likely they would've been custom made by the farrier for each horse, or commissioned from a blacksmith by the farrier.
Also some look like they are for cows.
Thank you. That’s what most people have said.
Thank you 😊
you got it sister!!
@@techcowgirl Agreed a few looked like the oxen shoe I saw in a old barn where they used Ox to pull carts a few centuries ago.
Hello! I found your channel today and to my surprise I almost dropped my phone! You ma'am look just like my mom did! Ohh how wonderful it is!
Thank you 😊
That horn you found was probably a black powder horn they used to fill their muskets with
Thank you 😊
My uncle had a farm he was in his 80s and was cleaning out a basement and found two crates of Dynamite It was just after 9/11 he called the authorities and asked if they could discreetly come and get it? They came and took one look and They evacuated a 10-mile = 16 Kilometer radius around his farm, Of course, his name was in the papers too because it involved kids in a nearby school being evaluated & new housing developments. They waited two days after being notified and had been stored there for 50 years... I guess the guy that sold the farm to my uncle in the 1930s used it for stumps & rock removal.
Wow 😳 what a story!
It was easy to see that the old gunpowder was stable, and you were in no danger. Had that been old dynamite, it would have contained glycerine which gets to be extremely unstable with age. There are many old abandoned gold/silver/copper/etc. mines here in the USA in our western States, some of which are more than 100 years old. Many mine explorers have met an untimely demise after either finding it, not knowing it's danger, and touching it, or not seeing it and stepped on it. I think she was right about the old hinges. They would get mortared into a stone wall, and the door would get screwed or bolted onto the flat part of the hinge. The cross-hatches on the narrow piece would allow mortar to seep into the grooves while the mortar was wet. Once dried, the hinge would be firmly locked in place. I think those long glass bulbs are actually for watering plants. Fill them with water, and push the pointed edge of the tube into the ground, and the ground will slowly absorb the water over a few days. I was wondering all that stacked stone was in the attic, until I noticed that the entire building was made from stacked stone. That must be a rather old house. If you are still waiting to find out if you need to go before a judge in court, I would strongly suggest that you speak with an attorney, and show him/her every bit of video you have from unpacking that attic. Given the condition of everything, it was easy to see that it had been there for a very long time, in fact, well before you even bought the property.
Great advice. Thank you 😊.
The glass things are solid glass not tubes. 🙂
@@NearbyVeggies HMMM Then I have no other clue what they might have been for.
Someone suggested it was from a chandelier.
the dynamo thing was the generator that ran on the rear tire of your bicycle for your front light.
SO many treasures you have found❣️💯⭐️❤️
It’s fabulous 💯
"One man's trash is another man's treasure"... Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😊
Your “light saber” is actually fire extinguisher grenades.
It’s a cool idea but these are solid lumps of glass. 😊
I love the little spurs
I collect and wear spurs all the time
those type usually get attached to the boot and are small
I have spurs from 1800 s and newer I wish I could see them in person
How interesting. They are so cute.
I hope everything turns out well! I enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing!
It did. Thank you 😊
I would have guessed the Horn with the metal ring as a black-powder horn for carrying in the field. That would go along with the black powder you found, It's a pity you didn't examine the news paper some it was wrapped in for a date so you could estimate when it was stored. It looked to me like someone was loading their own bullets.
Thank you. No dates on the newspaper, we checked.
My dad hid his gold coins in his house's attic. He hired workers to put some insulation in the attic and they stole all of his gold coins. He didn't realize they had taken them until many months later. The coins, the men and that company were long gone by then. The police were no help. It would have been a he said/they said situation with the hired men anyway.
We will have a better look for the gold once we can safely get in. There’s a lot of rotten wood up there. 👍
An amazing video ,love your wife's sense of humour,
Interesting and scary for you both with bullets and gun powder xxpatsy
We enjoy a good laugh. Delighted you enjoyed the video. 😊
With those 2 spurs and that harmonica you're ready to make your own hollywood Western ! 😁
Now if ya found the cast iron pots to go with those lids...
Now don’t be putting ideas in our heads.😂
Great video. Espacially the reaction on the blasting powder.
👍
Oh My God it's blackpowder!!! lol
Seems funny now
Wow!U r wonderful couple.
Thank you 😊
What excitement!
A little more than we were expecting.
Love it! Portugal
Thank you 😊
The horn was used for wine, you could carry it on your body, just like a ladies' cross body, it also had some kind of rope attached to it. if you take out the cork/newspaper at the end you could fill it with the wine and drink it. I am glad you did not find any of my dead relatives, but I got all pumped up in that direction, I just love a good "mystery". All of this commotion over such "old" gun powder and old bullets, here where I live in Canada/Surrey, I worry about bullets, but they are flying around, you never know what you going to encounter when you step out the door.
my grandpa kept gunpowder in a horn just like that, from his hunting days.
We won't be able to keep wine in it any more, Mary. It's full of holes. Others have suggested it was for holding gunpowder.
My aunt has found small object such as you are finding and making a shadow box with or without a front to show people some neat objects you found on your property.
Oh yes. Meraid Will make one of those in the future. Love them. Thank you 😊
It's fun watching you unpack all the bits and bobs of history; a good clean and a de-rust treatment, and you'll have a treasure trove! The holes in the seashells could well be from snails, such as apple murex, who drill into the mussels to eat them.
It’s always fun finding old stuff. Thank you 😊
What you have in your hand at minute 6:36 is a 'hoof' iron for cows, because back then poor farmers couldn't afford a farm horse. Since cows are even-toed ungulates, this shoe was only created for one of the two toes. The other flat shoe is the pre-made horseshoe before it is pawed on by the farrier.
Thank you. We’ve since learned that owning an ox in this neighbourhood was an upgrade from a donkey.
Well that was fun. It reminds me when my husband , I and the kids move to Italy and took over the cleanup of his mothers home that had been built in 1849. And had not been lived in in over 20 years. Like you we found many items no one could tell what it was. No experiences with guns or bullets though.
That must have been quite the adventure. 😊
That joint part of the engine going in Stone. lol
Thank you
I think the horn is for holding gun powder.
There was one in the old house where I grew up in Kentucky.
We believe you are absolutely right. Thank you 😊
The sea shells you found naturally have holes at the tops of them. I have collected these same types of shells for ages and ages. they all have little openings..I am happy your explosives are out of your hands now. I am sure the authorities won't bother you about them, perhaps the former owners have some answers to give lol. You have a task ahead of you. It is good to see you both head into this with humor and up lifting spirits. Happy Building
I'm guessing you figured out it was a powder horn for a musket. And the gunpowder and empty shotgun shells were for reloading. Also, the green tin had primers for the shotgun shells. Some very cool stuff in there.
We certainly did. 👍
I live for this, so exciting!!!!
Thank you 😊
Love your personalities ❤
Thank goodness 😅.
How fun!!
Thank you 😊
T he little round tin contained -I think- percussion caps ,to fit over the nipple of a percussion firearm to fire the charge ( this system superceded the flintlock)...the "belt " you found was a girth- the strap that goes from one side of a saddle -underneath the horse to the other side'..a pretty vital piece of saddlery ,without which you would fall off!!.. Soldiers in cavalry regiments wear them in their regimental colours still today..they are known as "stable belts " and the idea was that it could be used as a spare girth if the normal one broke..they are easy to spot as they are wide and have two straps and buckles....I wore one as a bandsman in trhe Royal Gloucestershire Hussars...We also wore spurs -like the ones you found which screwed into the heel of our George Boots...Istill have mine!!...though we never rode horsres...! they sounded great when we were marching as the rowells - the star or in our case-round revolving bit on the tip - jangled....hope this is of interest ...( NH Churchdown .Glos. England)
Absolutely amazing information. Thank you so much for taking the time to help. 😊
Oh my gosh! Well now I have to go to your channel to see if you posted any videos after this one... Hoping you two aren't in jail! 😉
So far so good. Haven't heard anything yet!
Bay keeps mice from eating the paper and repels insects
Wow! That’s a wonderful piece of information and now it makes sense why the bay was in the attic. Thank you.
Very common to have blasting powder on old homesteads.
In fact it was necessary for so many uses. Nothing to be afraid of as long as it is handled correctly.
Thanks
The belt looks like a girth for an English saddle! Or a saddle similar to one. I think the wooden fields are spindles for a spinning wheel. In the USA old folks used gun power to blast rocks and stumps out of fields .
A family member of the old owners mentioned about blasting rocks for well making.
The belt could be that!
You’re right about the spindles. 👍
Hi there guys! Just started to watch your videos and this one popped up. The two metal things that looked like chickens, I think they are the metal thing old cowboys used to put in their boots that helped them to defend themselves. You guys are funny and I’m looking forward to see your new house! ❤
Welcome along and thank you for the suggestion. You’re absolutely right, those little ‘chickens’ are spurs.
I wonder whether the conical wooden items aren't spindles for spinning flax.
Maybe the shells could be used on a milk jug doily instead of beads?
In hold times, we use to put the horseshoe hanging behind the main door to give luck.
We used to do that in Ireland too. Which way was traditional in Portugal. We did this way U so that the curve would catch the luck and not fall out.
the strange metal shapes look like Drover's shoes for oxen. Not sure if that's what they are but it is worth looking into it.
That’s been the suggestion from several people and I looked them up online and they sure do seem to be exactly what you said. Thank you so much.
blasting powder is just black powder…the small metal bits in the green tumbler were primers. Someone used to reload old black powder shotgun shells for their old scattergun. Honestly as long as it’s not in a confining container it would just burn up really fast/hot. Bit of a fire hazard but wouldn’t have blown you up. That thick belt looks like it might be a strop for a razor.
Thank you. We’re not familiar with black powder and not licensed to possess anything like that. 👍
That was fun!
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
A stack of gold? Don't forget to look for the hidden Van Gogh!
We looked 🤣 We did find a fabulous poster from the 1930’s in the bottom of a big trunk before we cleared the attic. 😊
So amazing video
Thank you 😊
We have an old, old shotgun in the family. Never fired since 1900, maybe earlier. My brother being curious dropped a firecracker that explodes when thrown against pavement down into the barrel followed by the ramrod being strongly thrown down the barrel onto the firecracker. BOOM! The ram road embedded into the oak ceiling. Moral: old gunpowder can still explode with considerable force.
Wow. What a story!
old hinges that are pushed in a hole drilled in stone and filled with molten lead. shells are from portugese wind chimes too
Thank you. Windchimes, that’s a thought. 👍
I'VE JUST COME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR AWESOME VIDEO, I SUFFER WITH DEPRESSION AND I WAS HAVING A VERY LOW DAY UNTIL WATCHING YOUR VIDEO OH MY GOODNESS WHO NEEDS TABLETS WHEN WE CAN WATCH THE BOTH OF YOU WHAT A LAUGH MY TUMMY WAS BOUNCING I COULD HEAR THE SWISHING OF MY CUP OF TEA I HAD AN HOUR AGO. THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU KEEP SPREADING THE HAPPINESS .FROM ENGLAND 😊 🙂X
Delighted you enjoyed the video. Thank you 😊
Yes - do repair the sieves_ they will prove to be extremely useful later in your new life - separating the seeds from the…..😊
Maybe that solfato for the vines not sure, remember my dad would mix liquid and powder together and mix in ,,,but not sure if you can reed?
That seems to be the answer. Thank you
The odd shape steel pieces are shoes for oxen and the horn is a gun powder flask, the pestle is the container and the mortar is the tool to grind what ever is in the pestle oddly enough a mortar and pestles are still used today from grinding various chemicals and substances and as well for kitchen use, antiques as for the rest of the items you've found really old stuff and perhaps a visit to a antique dealer ( reputable one ) . Gun powder won't go off without a spark but age may have lessened that potential. It's safe to handle safely OK! Cheers👍👍👍😎💨🏴☠☮☮☕☕
Thank you.
I'm pretty sure the metal pieces that are curved and have holes in them are used in making shoes, a pattern. A very nice set of pieces for a collector
Thank you 😊
The Spurs you found were ladies Spurs for the little shoes their boots that laced way up type you needed a button hook for and they are probably quite valuable ox shoes where the piece of metal that you didn't know about the black powder could still be used today for many things like blasting stumps out of the ground or using in a black powder rifle pistol or Cannon it's quite easy to make too bad your country unless they're right keeping to Bear firearms I hope your country never get invaded I love doing what you're doing going through old stuff and figuring out what it is it's a lot of fun lots and lots of fun I found many really me Tracy that way
Thank you 😊
8:15 Thats a nearly 200 year old powder horn, for loading a muzzleloader musket or hunting rifle. It does have some collectable antique value. Do not chuck it out! You have such nice finds there.
We have kept the horn and many of the amazing things we found. 👍
You can snuggle up on the couch and read those love letters and drink a little bubble. 😁
I’ve had them translated by my friend Fatima and we had a nice bottle of red in the process. Fascinating.
The tapered wooden thing is for spinning wool without a spinning wheel.
Thank you 😊
I think the wooden long pointy wand like item was used for fabric rug making.
Interesting. Thank you
19:35 😮what a nice bottle !
It’s great 👍
I love this channel. Watching from N Z. Would the horn be for either wine in the fields or water. Very cool channel. Love all the treasures. Reminds me of my old dads shed and treasures. X
Possibly! Most suggestions are for gunpowder. 👍
ooooh,that will come in handy for something....thats why they're up in the attic !!!!in the first place guys
Absolutely 👍
I think your scrap metal has some good stuff. Clean it up, use it for decoration or DIY
Some of it we’ll keep.
Looks like you found some shot gun cartridges and the person who lived there used to refill his own, the gunpowder would be used to reload and the caps are to replace the firing cap, wow what a find, you could have made your own fireworks.😉 plus the half shoes are for oxen when they work the land to save wearing they're feet away.
Indeed 😉
