I'm 70, and every drugstore back when I was growing up had a check-out counter display with small pocket size tins of Bayer aspirin tablets, Alka-Seltzer tablets, etc. right next to the cash register. Absolutely agree on the Bayer Aspirin tin.
These tins were also included in travel sized first aid kits, often used by hunters, recreational campers and Boy Scouts. Of course, a responsible scout would have carried his trash out with him : )
we had a round, half-bell at waist height on our front door in Vermont when I was growing up there. It rang by turning a key-shaped crank in the middle of it. We drove my grandmother nuts, turning it.
I lived in a 1911 2 flat in Chicago that had a service bell on the back porch - it made a horrible noise when you turned the key. That’s what I thought the bell was when you pulled it from the ground.
Yep, I was guilty of stuff like that as a youngster, too. Also winding an alarm clock's ringer-key so that the clock would just keep ringing when it went off. :P :D
I know it's not your thing, but it would be fun to sift each of your holes for other items, or areas where there's runoff from a possible dump site. I volunteer!
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 No, you're totally correct, Leah; lead would indeed melt at stove temps --- back in colonial times, I think that people would melt lead on the cookstove to make bullets, wood fires can even almost soften iron; you know how they would speak of a "ruddy-cheeked stove" when it got really cranked up on a cold day. :D
My mother always had that Fuller PASTRY BRUSH in our kitchen. It was to brush shortening or butter onto a baking pan surface to prevent sticking. --Long before anyone invented spray cans of No-Stick.
I've still got one just like it in my kitchen. Might even be the same brand. It was my grandmother's. I use it to baste butter over my biscuits. Not always. I've got other, better brushes. But sometimes l use it just for that connection to the past.
105% correct still have one to this day! Fuller Brush Company is an iconic symbol of the early American way of life, I remember as a child the men coming to my house to sell their wares. It was almost as good as going to town!
I remember Fuller Brush and their door-to-door salesmen, all men. Every kind of imaginable brush for every imaginable kind of need. "Fuller Brush Man."
That looks just like a basting brush mom had in her kitchen drawer. She would best butter on top of her pie crusts before baking them. Fuller brush company made good quality things.
Hey young man, another great video for our viewing pleasure! You provide a wonderful setting, music that I just love, and always a handful of surprises. Plus your incredible positive spirit, what more can a viewer want! 👍❤️ Thank you!
@stephaniemccoy6562 I made a dumb mistake 25 years ago and lost a girl named McCoy, whom I would have married. Then, thankfully, I got away from one named McColley. She was like a beautifully wrapped present, but once you unwrapped it, there was nothing there but an empty box. Next, there was McCrazy. I don't have to say anything more about that one. So you know what I did, Stephanie? I married a Russian girl. End of the story, all is well. But, when I see the last name, McCoy, I immediately think of what could have been, but one has to remember the present is much more important than the past. Have a great weekend, Ms. McCoy. Oh, and if you didn't notice, I am a McKee Lol how crazy is that?
I wonder if the heart iron was part of a wagon. Possibly a reins catcher and grab handle. It looks like it had a sturdy mount. Just my two cents. Interesting finds for sure. A hike in the woods always makes me feel better, thanks.
The pin likely held a shell cameo, the tin is Bayer Asprin. Looks like with the button and coins you are in a 1920's site. The heart shaped "thing" maybe a buggy step used for a makeshift fencing gate ?
That all makes sense to me. Especially the heart shaped iron step. I was thinking a gate handle at first. But the step seems more plausible. The 2 holes would allow it to stick out from it's attachment point, the spike of the heart would stick into the toe of your shoe to prevent slipping, and it is beefy enough to support some weight. Yup... a buggy/carriage step makes sense. Probably the carriage or whatever it was attached to rotted away and they repurposed it.
I saw a carriage/buggy step right away, but the heavy wire/steel added... hmmm - maybe a yard ornament. Screw the wire ino the dirt and the heart stands tall.? Chuck
My first thought was the heart could be a piece of a rug beater? They had long handles and a wire beater side that was usually a woven wire shape that was flat to whack the dust out with.
Brad at lest you did better than i did a few days a go I got up in a hurry and it was dark so when it got daylight i saw i had put one brown shoe on and one black shoe but at lest thy were the same brand shoe lol.
17:30 My mother had a pastry brush like that. You could slide the aluminum cap up the twisted steel stem and the brush would be wide and fluffy, or slid down it was more focused. Also aided cleaning the brush. Interesting finds and video Brad.
Brad, Bayer Aspirins used to come in metal tins (I’m dating myself - 78). It looks like the colors that Bayer used to use. Nice finds today. Love you channel
Been playing with the Deus 2 for a year or so now and have been amazed by a couple of custom programs easily available on RUclips.The Scottish Detectorist has the ‘Jethro’program that bangs high conductors unbelievably deep.When you think it must be a big piece of iron cause your forearm deep and still digging,it turns out to be a small high conductor of some sort.Also the Tekkna program that Gary at XP promotes is unbelievable at picking non ferrous targets out of iron infested sights.I’ve been hitting an old train stop for years with at pro/gold,Fisher F75,then the Equinox 800,and thought there was nothing left.Tekkna found me heaps of 2 piece and underwear buttons,small buckles/suspender bits,all I’d passed up on thinking it was iron for the last 15 years.I’d love to see what it would do on the old homesites you have over there!
I have found unexpected items in the most unexpected places ! A few years ago my family and I went camping in the woods a few miles from FLAGSTAFF ,ARIZONA ! So my daughter and I went rock hounding ! We were on a well traveled trail ! My daughter doesn’t miss much ( I CALL her “EGALE EYE” as we walked along she was in the lead ! I’m thinking I would like to find an ARROW HEAD ,without much hope of finding one ! As I walked along looking for pretty rocks I SAW A PERFECT LITTLE ARROW HEAD LAYING IN THE PATH ! Like someone just put it there no dirt on it ! It was black obsaiden ( lava glass ) my daughter said she didn’t see it ,I was very surprised, she doesn’t miss things ! I still have it ! I keep it in a little box with a layer of cotton ! I think it was for small game ,there are wild turkeys in the woods ! Love your shows ,amazing what you can find metal detecting ! Or just walking along a path ! I think my Gardinen ANGLE PUT THAT ARROW HEAD ON THE PATH FOR ME TO FIND ! My daughter said she didn’t see it and she was only a few steps ahead of me ! Be safe !
Thanks for sending good vibes this way. Wanna hear something kinda crazy, kinda coincidental. A mechanic buddy of mine,his name is Mike Streeter. Not sure if the spelling is the same.
Your videos are so therapeutic in these turbulent times. Your camera work of your finds are the best, and the extra treats of critter's,shrooms and Flora just add to whole show. Many thanks
The horse pectoral looking piece reminds me of when I was a kid growing up in a farm in Putnam New York we had a similar setup that we would use for a movable “fence wire gate” that we’d pull across a big entrance to our pasture. When we wanted to move the animals from one side or the other it would get unhooked and swung to the other side until the animals passed through then pulled back over and hooked back on the big metal hook in the corner post of the fence. It was in our horse pasture and separated it from the sheep pasture to keep the horse in one area.
I’d have to think about having that jewelry cleaned up and replated with the missing pin replaced and having something like a piece of abalone, a cameo or a family portrait installed. It would make a wonderful gift.
The piece with the wire wrapped around it made me think it was being used to pull fence wire tight...either as a handhold or to attach to a rope or chain to a horse to do the pulling. It does look improvised.
Yeah, I was gonna suggest a fence-tightener, too --- maybe for forcibly twisting the wires together or making the fence-wire a little shorter to reduce sagging?
That cobalt glass button is really cool. I've never seen one before. Didn't even know they exist. And I've seen a lot of antiquities over the years. Excellent find!
Wow, that friendly neighborhood Fuller Brush Salesman went the 'extra mile' to get there! Lol Nice Finds Brad! Even the Bayer Aspirin Tin. Recognized it from when I was little and young and not old.
I think that lovely heart was repurposed into a gate latch, where you hooked the heart over something to close the gate. but what is really was for, no clue! Love your videos, especially the litle bits of ferns and salamanders! be safe out there!
I think the bell you found is the underneath half of a bicycle bell. They had a habit of unwinding themselves especially if your riding over bumpy dirt roads. I lost a few when i was a kid. Love watching your videos here in Australia mate.👍🏻
At first i was wondering why is it so strange to find that kind of a figurehead in a forest, but then i realized this is NA we're talking about here, not Europe where we find these kinds of things everywhere. I mean, in the UK, dig in your back yard and there's a big chance you'll find some kind of roman artifact. :))
I have my mom’s Fuller Brush basting brush. I immediately recognized yours. The aluminum ‘bell’ would slide up to allow for cleaning the bristles and back down to secure them. She got hers back in the early 50s. I remember the Fuller Brush salesman would come and she bought kitchen items.
When I was little my mom had a Fuller brush carpet stain cleaning kit - I always remember her having it so it’s possible she had it before I was born. The Fuller Brush Man was a door to door sales type situation. This was in the 60’s. Nice quality stuff too, but it wasn’t a happy day when mom had to pull it out. ❤
17:53 One thing to keep in mind, though, Brad --- just because it's called a "pastry bush" doesn't arbitrarily mean that someone was actually spreading glaze on donuts or icing on a cake when he lost the brush. Implements of simple and "universal" design like brushes or knives can often be used for many purposes: just like how that heart-shaped metal item that you previously found had been reused as a wire-twisting/pulling handle, a soft-bristled brush --- even a small delicate one like this --- could serve countless needs, such as dusting, applying solvent and/or lubricant, salving a wound, and so on. Whoever was last using that brush, therefore, might just as likely have been in the stable or workshop, rather than in the kitchen.
The Fuller Brush handle is a pastry brush, most likely used to baste meat while cooking. That particular one is likely late 1800's to early 1900's. real neat find.
The metal woman's head reminds me of a detail is saw on a 1880's apple press. It was on the side with all the patent numbers and looked like a pure flex by the manufacturer
That little Fuller pastry brush reminds me of one my grandparents had. They used it for brushing barbecue sauce on meat when we cooked out, among other things. Neat find.
I used that exact same pastry brush as a kid helping mom in the kitchen. The heart shaped handle looks like it got repurposed as a latch for a farm gate. The way the wire specifically avoids the lower hole makes it feel like the hole would get hooked on a nail to pull the wire tight thus holding the gate closed.
Haven’t been able to watch your videos as often as I normally would. Love your channel and the music. Relaxing and always makes me smile. Hopefully run into you and your buddies detecting one day
Really enjoy watching you metal detect. Love your videos, they direct and to the point, very professionally done!! Keep them coming. If I wasn’t already into Geocaching, I would buy a metal detector and join you in searching for treasure, but here in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee .
I just want to tell you how much I love 💕 your channel Brad.. I live in Maine but I lived in Barnard Bethel for three years in the North Road .. I absolutely love your channel.. The history is fantastic and my guy you are the best!! 😮😊love you to max!! I lived right at the Plimsbury National Forest for a year .. History unreal !! 😮Fantastic time there!! ❤
Lots of mystery items! I think the heart shape was a tool to tighten bobbed wire , cause u can't grab it to wrap it tight! The little face I think belongs to an old stove it's so cool how they decorated appliances in those days! Fuller brush handle should be in a museum??🤣🤣
You probably already know but that style lock you found is called a Rim Lock. Love the metal face you found, so cool! Love the filler material with the orange salamanders, great capture! That heart horse tack item is really awesome, I would find a way to repurpose that one! Great hunt Brad, as always
When I was a child, the Fuller Brush Man used to come by in his truck a few times a year to my grandmother along with the milkman and the Cushman Pastries man, the last two about once w week. All back in Massachusetts.
That small blue button looks like it had a jewel in it at one time. That center indention seems like a setting. My grandmother had one of those Fuller brushes. She used it to swab butter on rolls and cornbread.
I recognized the pastry brush handle immediately. I’m 78 years old and I remember the Fuller Brush Man selling his wares to my mother! My grandmother used one, too, and I used one in my younger days. That bell-shaped metal thing slid down and held the brush material together. The metal could be slid up the handle so the brush could splay out to wash off the basting material; oil, lard, butter, etc.
Great Hunt Brad. The Broche is Beautiful. I love finding those. Some are very Ornate with excellent Details. Congrats on the Buffalo Nickle and Wheatie. The Ladies Face Piece is Beautiful. Congrats on all your finds. Take Care Brad

I remember the tins of Bayer Aspirin. Cool find!
If
Remember the Anacin tins? A throwback to the old days!!
That pin you found is probably the fancy surround for a cameo brooch 🤔
I thought "cameo" right away too.
the prongs are cut-outs from a sheet metal stamping...
Last week I found a 1897 V Nickel in my pocket change. 🙂
Wow!
Wow! What a blessing!
Awesome 👍
I have noticed all kinds of real silver in change since 2020. I’m guessing collectors died and families just took “change” collections to banks.
we had a round, half-bell at waist height on our front door in Vermont when I was growing up there. It rang by turning a key-shaped crank in the middle of it. We drove my grandmother nuts, turning it.

We owned a 1880s home in Windsor, CT. it had one of these bell/ringer built into the back door. To this day it still works perfectly.
That beautiful brooch frame might have held a cameo. The opening is exceptionally large for a single stone.
I know it's not your thing, but it would be fun to sift each of your holes for other items, or areas where there's runoff from a possible dump site. I volunteer!
I feel like the broach had a cameo in it. Really fun finds.
Hit the like button for Brad and thank you Brad for all you do
The face you found Brad is what I believe an ornate piece of of a potbelly stove 😊
I was thinking of a door knocker. If only due to the other door pieces found.
No way they would use lead, it would melt.
My only question would be, if it is truly made of lead, wouldn't it melt or am I totally off at the temperature needed to melt lead?
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 My thought as well.
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 No, you're totally correct, Leah; lead would indeed melt at stove temps --- back in colonial times, I think that people would melt lead on the cookstove to make bullets, wood fires can even almost soften iron; you know how they would speak of a "ruddy-cheeked stove" when it got really cranked up on a cold day. :D

I remember my family having one for basting meat and one for pastries
I still have and use them.

Recently attended the funeral of an uncle who started as a Fuller Brush Salesman, died a multi-multi millionaire.
@@warringtonfaust1088My grandpa was a Fuller Brush man for a few years in California but didn’t become a millionaire with them! 🙂
Hey young man, another great video for our viewing pleasure! You provide a wonderful setting, music that I just love, and always a handful of surprises. Plus your incredible positive spirit, what more can a viewer want! 👍❤️ Thank you!
The bell went top of a clock I think seen them long time ago
Cool finds today...and as always...your cheerful, polite and knowledgeable commentating makes your channel one of my faves! Have a great week!

Another morning walk through the woods...thanks for letting us peek over your shoulder on these adventures.
Bayer aspirin
Yes. It’s pretty obvious. 😊 I loved those little tins when I was a kid.
Great channel keep up the hard work!
The blue button used to have rhinestones in the holes / divots.
I wonder if the heart iron was part of a wagon. Possibly a reins catcher and grab handle. It looks like it had a sturdy mount. Just my two cents. Interesting finds for sure. A hike in the woods always makes me feel better, thanks.
Agreed!!! and like Brad said probably repurposed in order to stretch a bit of fence
Great guesses. Maybe a gate handle on the fence (chicken coop area)🐔🐔...recycled as we know 'they' were great at recycling. Brad, love your videos.💙💙♥
Maybe the heart thing is a gerry rigged handle that broke then got recycled into another tool?
Looks like a basting brush
let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Sweet finds, Brad! The little blue button looks like it had marcasites in the holes at one time. They made it sparkle like a wreath of diamonds.
The pin likely held a shell cameo, the tin is Bayer Asprin. Looks like with the button and coins you are in a 1920's site. The heart shaped "thing" maybe a buggy step used for a makeshift fencing gate ?
That all makes sense to me. Especially the heart shaped iron step. I was thinking a gate handle at first. But the step seems more plausible. The 2 holes would allow it to stick out from it's attachment point, the spike of the heart would stick into the toe of your shoe to prevent slipping, and it is beefy enough to support some weight. Yup... a buggy/carriage step makes sense. Probably the carriage or whatever it was attached to rotted away and they repurposed it.
I saw a carriage/buggy step right away, but the heavy wire/steel added... hmmm - maybe a yard ornament. Screw the wire ino the dirt and the heart stands tall.? Chuck
I was thinking the same, or maybe for a pet's grave?
Possibly just yard art? Marking something significant
My first thought was the heart could be a piece of a rug beater? They had long handles and a wire beater side that was usually a woven wire shape that was flat to whack the dust out with.
Brad at lest you did better than i did a few days a go I got up in a hurry and it was dark so when it got daylight i saw i had put one brown shoe on and one black shoe but at lest thy were the same brand shoe lol.
😆
Fun show! As soon as you pulled that brush out I knew exactly what it was. I feel old. Lol❤

Vermonters have seen way too many floods this year and the past several. Our thoughts are with those affected. VT STRONG.
Thanks for sending good vibes this way. Wanna hear something kinda crazy, kinda coincidental. A mechanic buddy of mine,his name is Mike Streeter. Not sure if the spelling is the same.
Your videos are so therapeutic in these turbulent times.

Your video's are awesome 💯
The horse pectoral looking piece reminds me of when I was a kid growing up in a farm in Putnam New York we had a similar setup that we would use for a movable “fence wire gate” that we’d pull across a big entrance to our pasture. When we wanted to move the animals from one side or the other it would get unhooked and swung to the other side until the animals passed through then pulled back over and hooked back on the big metal hook in the corner post of the fence. It was in our horse pasture and separated it from the sheep pasture to keep the horse in one area.
Bathroom? Outhouse!! 😀
I’d have to think about having that jewelry cleaned up and replated with the missing pin replaced and having something like a piece of abalone, a cameo or a family portrait installed. It would make a wonderful gift.
Thank you, I had fun. Bless You 'all for sharing. Stay safe and I will see you in the next one.
The piece with the wire wrapped around it made me think it was being used to pull fence wire tight...either as a handhold or to attach to a rope or chain to a horse to do the pulling. It does look improvised.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Yeah, I was gonna suggest a fence-tightener, too --- maybe for forcibly twisting the wires together or making the fence-wire a little shorter to reduce sagging?
The twist would likely help it stay attached to the "handle" under pressure @@Quacks0
That cobalt glass button is really cool. I've never seen one before. Didn't even know they exist. And I've seen a lot of antiquities over the years. Excellent find!
I think your face was a decorative piece for furniture and your heart was repurposed, probably in a flower bed. Best intersecting finds today.
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO.
I got to detecting site one time on to find I was wearing my slippers 😂
I’ve gotten to a mall only to have to return home when I stepped out of the car only to realize that I was wearing slippers too. 😅
😂
Nowadays you wouldn't get a second look.
My sweetie ran off quickly to home depot wearing my pink crocs! 😂😅
The fuller brush was the the best surprise of the day. Mom bought a lot of fuller brush things.
Looks like a home made rug beater
That's a good idea. I thought some kind of makeshift pull to unlatch a gate or barn door
@@tonydagostino6158 I agree. A latch for the barn door or a gate.
Hm, maybe so? I thought maybe some re-purposed handle used specifically for twisting fence wire into braided wire.
My thought too!
Wow, that friendly neighborhood Fuller Brush Salesman went the 'extra mile' to get there! Lol Nice Finds Brad! Even the Bayer Aspirin Tin. Recognized it from when I was little and young and not old.
Always love Fridays with you and a good cuppa coffee.
Another cool video this Friday, always fun to see what you find .
I think that lovely heart was repurposed into a gate latch, where you hooked the heart over something to close the gate. but what is really was for, no clue! Love your videos, especially the litle bits of ferns and salamanders! be safe out there!
Hey Brad. Another great one. Thank you . Check that blue button with a black light out my glow. Great eye. ✌️♥️
Yes Bayer Aspirin used to come in tin travel packs as recently as 1970's,1960's.
That was a tricky find on the glass button. Maybe a ladies glove button. Good mix today. Thanks.
I think that was a clock belll
I thought the same thing! An alarm clock bell!!
Nice find, that lady is nice
That was an interesting haul brad the face,broach,and glass button being my favourite pieces
Another GMMD friday, love all the cool artifacts you find, brad.
I think the bell you found is the underneath half of a bicycle bell. They had a habit of unwinding themselves especially if your riding over bumpy dirt roads. I lost a few when i was a kid. Love watching your videos here in Australia mate.👍🏻
Love your videos…they were still making Bayer Aspirin tins like that in the early 70,s as my dad used them.

The Oval Brooch is similar to antique ones holding a cameo ( a figure or scene carved into the layers of a seashell ) .
I have my mom’s Fuller Brush basting brush. I immediately recognized yours. The aluminum ‘bell’ would slide up to allow for cleaning the bristles and back down to secure them. She got hers back in the early 50s. I remember the Fuller Brush salesman would come and she bought kitchen items.

17:53 One thing to keep in mind, though, Brad --- just because it's called a "pastry bush" doesn't arbitrarily mean that someone was actually spreading glaze on donuts or icing on a cake when he lost the brush. Implements of simple and "universal" design like brushes or knives can often be used for many purposes: just like how that heart-shaped metal item that you previously found had been reused as a wire-twisting/pulling handle, a soft-bristled brush --- even a small delicate one like this --- could serve countless needs, such as dusting, applying solvent and/or lubricant, salving a wound, and so on. Whoever was last using that brush, therefore, might just as likely have been in the stable or workshop, rather than in the kitchen.
Thanks Brad, God Bless.
We found the fuller brush the coolest thing. OK my bucket list would be a buffalo nickel, or Montana silver coin. Blessings
Hi Brad, I have found a similar ornate lead piece like yours, mine had angel wings attached. Awesome finds!
The Fuller Brush handle is a pastry brush, most likely used to baste meat while cooking. That particular one is likely late 1800's to early 1900's. real neat find.
This is such a great way to start my day
Great 👌 job therre Brad !! 💙💙
Awesome finds!
I didn't want your video to end! You found some really interesting stuff!
The metal woman's head reminds me of a detail is saw on a 1880's apple press. It was on the side with all the patent numbers and looked like a pure flex by the manufacturer
Great interesting finds
Congrats Brad
Oooo. Cool orange salamanders
Enjoy videos. Keep them coming.
That little Fuller pastry brush reminds me of one my grandparents had. They used it for brushing barbecue sauce on meat when we cooked out, among other things. Neat find.

The history is fantastic and my guy you are the best!! 😮😊love you to max!! I lived right at the Plimsbury National Forest for a year .. History unreal !! 😮Fantastic time there!! ❤
loved the newts
We had one of those brushes back in the day. Used to love when the fuller brush guy came around.
I guessed it was a Bayer Aspirin tin. I’m wondering if the broach originally had a cameo in it? Awesome finds.
Lots of mystery items! I think the heart shape was a tool to tighten bobbed wire , cause u can't grab it to wrap it tight! The little face I think belongs to an old stove it's so cool how they decorated appliances in those days! Fuller brush handle should be in a museum??🤣🤣
You probably already know but that style lock you found is called a Rim Lock. Love the metal face you found, so cool! Love the filler material with the orange salamanders, great capture! That heart horse tack item is really awesome, I would find a way to repurpose that one! Great hunt Brad, as always
I was thinking fancy reins guide of some sort to let left and right settle in separate loops (heart upside down).
@@markpashia7067 Interesting theory, i like it!
I used to think they were salamanders too, but they’re actually Eastern Newts, often called red spotted newts.
Love going on adventures with you Brad👍
We had a brush exactly like that and used it when we grilled. It was terrific for spreading sauces while grilling!
When I was a child, the Fuller Brush Man used to come by in his truck a few times a year to my grandmother along with the milkman and the Cushman Pastries man, the last two about once w week. All back in Massachusetts.
the item with the heart shaped metal . id say with the wire on it was a fence line make shift gate to pass threw.
Thank you Brad for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and nice finds !
That small blue button looks like it had a jewel in it at one time. That center indention seems like a setting. My grandmother had one of those Fuller brushes. She used it to swab butter on rolls and cornbread.
For sure, women on the premises! Keep on digging, and I'll catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
I LOVE the blue glass button! So pretty! 😻
It was such a dark color blue, at least on my screen, that I wondered if it was a button used on a piece of mourning clothing. Its just an idea.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos and the places you go THANK YOU 👍🙏>>>💚
I recognized the pastry brush handle immediately. I’m 78 years old and I remember the Fuller Brush Man selling his wares to my mother! My grandmother used one, too, and I used one in my younger days. That bell-shaped metal thing slid down and held the brush material together. The metal could be slid up the handle so the brush could splay out to wash off the basting material; oil, lard, butter, etc.
Me too!
Those Orange Newts were my favorite find, cool reptiles.
Great Hunt Brad. The Broche is Beautiful. I love finding those. Some are very Ornate with excellent Details. Congrats on the Buffalo Nickle and Wheatie. The Ladies Face Piece is Beautiful. Congrats on all your finds. Take Care Brad
High Brad!!! Told you yesterday on QH. I would see you today!!!
Some very cool finds today!
