Don’t beer stein lids have a thumb piece for easy drinking? How about a powder jar lid?

The fancy hooked item at 16:30 is a corset lace puller. The lace puller that hockey players use nowadays is derived from that. It’s cool that you’ve found a complete one as a lot of these ended up in landfills after corsets went out of vogue.

Wow really, I have never seen a moose toilet before, is that maybe for ladies or gents. who can tell me that I am curious if there will be an answer here.

As you were standing there before showing the moose droppings, I was noticing in the background that the balsam trees behind you were eaten by moose. This is typically where moose will stay (yard) for the winter. Balsam is their main winter diet. They can eat 35-45 lbs a day, so there needs to be a lot of trees. Plus larger trees for cover from the snow. If there aren't many trees, then it's just a staging area before getting to the winter yard. Moose shed their antlers between late November and early February (mainly in January). Finding trees where they rub their antlers (ranging from walking stick size, to trees 6-8 inches in diameter s the best indicator that a bull was in the area. This is what I look for when shed hunting.

Brad! That token is quite similar to one I stumbled across while digging in a garden, behind a 100 year old farm house, in northern Michigan in the mid 70s. The one I found was made of aluminium and was for $1.00 off a coat at a city about 20 miles from where I found it. I did a little searching in the local phonebook and called anybody with the same last name. I actually found the daughter of the owner of the store( she was in her late 80s) and she was rather excited to hear about my find. I was told it had to predate 1910 because the store closed in that year. I still have it with all my other treasures I have found over the years.

The moose poop is in that spot because it’s a moose or deer “yard”. A place that stays free, or nearly free, of snow in the winter. The animals gather there for extended periods, leaving between storms to feed.

Love the cultural/ historical background teaching you do with your wonderful finds. Some of the imported from UK colonial objects you've found I've heard explained on #thescottishdetectorist. Love the history you uncover rain, sleet or snow.

The moose were having a meeting with Bigfoot to try new methods for being elusive. 😀

The Moose poop suggests a wintering area where they herd up for protection and feed.

Brad, What a fun diverse day, I have the feeling you just scratched the surface of finds. Cheers, Rik Spector

Star jelly is a variety of slime mold which in themselves are remarkable and almost alien in appearance and habits. They are an organization of organisms and can move en mass and respond to stimulus. They appear in unusual places where they have never been seen before. They also seem to change in their make up and appearance between sedentary and mobile. I have a bright green one that suddenly appears and is very large overnight in my vegetable garden each year. They think they are always there, living separately in the soil and then come together to ??? reproduce sexually? at some type of signal. Really cool and widely studied organism.

@@danstotland6386 It was identified as Star Jelly and I based my response only on that statement. It could be many things salamander eggs, snail eggs. I am a biologist and it certainly could be better identified if it was closely examined under a microscope. Slime molds are a remarkable group of organisms, called collectively - communes, in any case. There is still debate about what exactly they really are. In some areas the communes are eaten.

The pin you found that said Blue Mountain...there's a Blue Mountain in Mass near Dedham I believe. I've been there, they have a convention hall type of place on the top, and that may be a commemorative pin from there.

Unusual finds I'm happy you are out detecting ♥️👍🗝️🇺🇸♥️♥️

Great bit of adventure this week Brad!!! A wide array of finds.

that led lid you found is definitely a lid for a beer mug could even be bavarian as we used to have close to that decors back around 1860

The bracelet looks to be mother-of-pearl or possibly moonstone (it was hard to tell if it was white-opaque or translucent with the silver behind it.) As for the weird knife, maybe used for something to do with trees? Maybe on the end of a long pole? Getting down nuts or fruit?

Haverhill pronounced Hay vrill. While stationed at Fort Devens Mass, I dated a girl from Haverhill. I said Have er hill. She laughed and told me how the natives pronounced it. She was beautiful, I quickly changed my ways. LOL

Thank goodness winter is over!! 👏👍😉

Good afternoon from the UK 🇬🇧

Looks like a handle to wind some kind of mechanism maybe always enjoy time in the woods while you poke around looking for bubbles curious nature not everybody has it but the ones that do they get it kind of like driving down along country road and seeing a deserted house and wondering who lived there and what was their life like pieces of a puzzle have a great day thanks again

The lid is just like one on my German beer stein. And the Moose were having a lodge meeting! Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Brad I agree with the beer stein lid, also known as a tankard lid. Tons of moose droppings signals an ancient well worn moose trail. The small knife looks like a farriers knife for cleaning horse hooves while shoeing

Great dig. I'd say the knife is for carving.

Thoroughly enjoy your videos (and your finds! Especially that gold coin!) But I especially appreciate that you stop and share the beauty around you with your viewers. Nice!

That top looks just like an old German beer stein, I was in Frankfort Germany back in 1974 and that lid looked very much like one I know dated 1870. That very top is a perfect match for the one my Mother paid $350.00 for back then and the stein had the date 1873 I believe stamped on the bottom along with the makers name. I do know that $350 was a lot back then but sadly it was broken while being shipped back to Georgia and the military paid the cost plus $100 because it was worth a lot more.

Awesome hunt!! Bizarre finds are always welcome! Haha

Brad nice fines and great to see you again on the hunt 👍stay blessed

Lots of folks are saying beer stein lid but those don't usually have the hinge right on the lid. A thumb lever comes off the lid and the hinge is part of that lever and located a short distance away from the lid.

3:50 looks like the top of a beer stein, German pot drinking vessel with ornate hinged lid?

knife looks like what a farrier would use to pare the frogs on a horses hoof.

You should call this spot "The Moose Loo"!

I have rented a small piece of land that my house sits on. I decided to clear blackberry bushes and stinging nettles from land right behind my house. Found skeletal remains of duck and deer, along with rat skeletons. Was digging up things tossed over the fence for decades. Up popped a moose antler!

Nice finds!
