Wow! You have such high quality content. Most metal detectorists or artifact hunters are making videos about finding common coins, buckles, and buttons, but you are finding really unusual stuff-the kind of stuff I love watching come out of the ground. Also, you know your history-that is so important! I hate it when a RUclipsr with a relic channel finds something and they just say, "Oh, this is a native metate". Most people don't know what a metate is, who used them, why they used them, or how old they are. You give a lot of background on each item and that makes your videos so much more interesting and appealing to history-buffs, metal detectorists, artifact hunters, collectors, outdoorsmen, explorers, etc. When you show an artifact, talk about who might have owned it. When did they live? What did they used it for? The best part of a video isn't seeing the item, it is learning about it, and who left it behind. Most RUclipsrs don't get into the info that fascinates people the most. Who was the last person who might have touched it? Did they buy it or make it? Was it dropped? Was it buried for safe-keeping? Did the person die before they went back to recover it? Imagine the stories behind each item. Remember to to take photos of items after you clean them up and include stills at the end of the video. Keep studying your history. Keep going! You will have 100K viewers in a year.
Appreciate the support, the picture idea at the end of the video is a good idea, might have to start doing that. Thanks again for the kind words, great things to come for this channel in the future!
Dug a barrel about 6" long was cut off the end of the musket and used as a wad cutter end is sharpened to the inside of the barrel still as a tang on it.
The partial gun barrel is a great find. I do not believe what you see is a gun sight. They would have been near the front of the barrel. Some, not all, smooth bore muskets and trade guns had rear sites. Some barrels were fastened to the stock with bans (like the French charlivile) others were held on the stock with pins (like the British brown bess). I believe what is on your find was an attachment for a pin. If so, you may find a small hole in it after cleaning. Would be interested in what you find... Love hunting these 18th c. sites. You have some great finds.
Appreciate it my friend, cleaning it up right now, I'll look out for the hole that you talked about, but I do believe that is the sight, sure I'll find out once I clean it up. Thanks for the support.
Hopefully someone can fill us in once watching the video, they remind a lot of fur trade awls but of course they are way to large to be that. I'm sure someone will let me know in the next few days I'll forward over what they tell me to ya!
Really cool finds.
Thanks Ken
Great history/relics I enjoyed the history you gave
Appreciate it

Cool hunt bro!
Appreciate it my friend
you should get a sifter in where all that pottery is...
Watch my previous videos there, love sifting. Would have in this one but the ground was frozen less.
Was found on the Red River of the North near Georgetown MN. HBC post near by fur storage building once near.
A lot of trade history in MN, Will one day plan a trip there
