    The item you found at 9:38 looks like the hoof pick that I used to clean the hoof around the horseshoes on the horses that I rode. To remove stones, built up dirt or other debris. The size looks about right, I carried one in my saddle bags along with other things, like food, grain, nosebag, etc. The loop is usually oval in shape, but not always, it is designed to be easily gripped and held, so the shank is between the middle finger and ring finger.

    How anyone could give your videos a "thumbs down" is a complete mystery to me. Yours are among the very best on RUclips, and the only reasonable explanation that I can come up with is...they are jealous of your quality presentations. Keep up the great work, Brad!

    I'm not absolutely sure about this, but that hook-and-loop thing you found looks just like what my uncle used to use (or make us kids use) for moving haybales around for his horses. His was a lot newer, of course, and was steel instead of iron, but form follows function and some things just don't change. His steel one had a wooden bar through the loop that we used as a handle; you'd sink the hook into the bale just beyond the ties and yank it up. It worked pretty well.

    The iron piece could be a bale hook for like lifting sacks of seed or hay maybe.if they had sheep it could be used for lifting wool bales. I could be wrong I don't know if they Did that in the USA but it's something they would have used alot in the UK at the time for on the docks

    Hi Brad, the item at 9:46 looks very much like an old hoof pick to pick the mud and stones etc out of the horses foot. I think the item at 12:47 is possibly a shoe horn ?? not sure though. Some very cool finds and right from the first era that settlers arrived which is amazing. I bet back in the day the person who lost their shoe buckle would never imagine that someone would happen across it with a strange contraption all these years later. Thanks for sharing your day. xx
