I Found Something Incredible Metal Detecting “The Trapper’s Camp”

Ойын-сауық

After locating the home of a speculated colonial fur trapper deep in the Vermont mountains, I find something that has links to America's Founding Fathers.

    Coins, button and thimble are treasures, but the claw marks on the tree, the baby orange creature and the scenery were treasures in their own right, Brad. Well done. Thank you.

    An interesting fact about the beaver trade is that a lot of people believed it was a fashion to wear fuzzy hats , but the truth is that the fur was scraped off and felted. Beaver is very water proof and holds it’s shape well. Some Steatsons are still made with beaver, that’s why they are so expensive. Also to make the hats, mercury was used, thus the reason for the mad hatters. You bought some new jeans😁

    The Fugio cent, also known as the Franklin cent,[1][2] is the first official circulation coin of United States. Consisting of 0.36 oz of copper, it was designed by Benjamin Franklin and minted only in 1787. Some historians believe that the word "business" was intended literally here, as Franklin was an influential and successful businessman. It does not mean "mind your own business" as that phrase is used today, but rather, "pay attention to your affairs".[

    Another great day for you.. The Ben Franklin designed penny is a whole chapter in a history lesson. I was thinking that with the thimble and backstory, if that place was a seasonal spot where trappers could come and sell their pelts. The buyer then sewing packs together for transportation out. Did not seem to have enough iron in the ground for a work station, farm, trapping or even homestead. But maybe reason for another trip one day. Another Thumbs Up Video.

    Found an old thimble near an old old two room log cabin here in Arkansas. I often imagine a little pioneer wife mending clothes by lantern light. The cabin was classic two room with dog trot. Mud and stick chimney each end. The logs had wonderful two way beveled notches so logs couldn't move. About 18" Dia pine flattened on two sides. Foot adze and broad ax marks very plain. The walls had remnants of newspaper covering to keep out cold. One piece advertised an iron wheeled horse less carriage from 1893. One old timer told me the Bakers lived there and old man Baker made the best moonshine in Saline county. There's the base remnant of an ancient Indian mound across the Middle Fork of the Saline River where I live. We're 100 ft above the bottom. I suppose I'm the only living person that knows of it. We're only a few miles from the Hughes mound which has never been excavated. The deer showed me where it was or I'd never have noticed. Real history is so neat and completely absorbing.

Found them flatter on a rail at job site,soak them in a bowl of warm water, and use tweezers to find bones and skulls of little not so lucky critters! Next video,those were " Newt" eggs? Not sure.

    Great finds Brad! The latest coin was 1803 so the site probably dates to around 1810 if not earlier. I don't imagine there were many settlers in your section of VT that early so the "camp" may have been a long ways from civilization. I suspect this was a seasonal camp used for trapping, hunting, fishing, maple sugaring, etc. to supplement their farming income. beautiful area and great photography. Thanks!
