One of the shovels was definitely used for target practice. The big hole must have been hit multiple times. There was also a smaller hole that had the distinctive shape of a bullet hole.

I'm not sure how well this fits on a rock channel. I have been trying to add a few new things lately, but they haven't gotten many views. I don't want to scare people away. I hope to make a video looking for copper sometime this summer, so that will be a good mix of both metal detecting and rock hunting.

Two axe heads and both different, so awesome ! I really liked the suspender clip, ornate piece of the old stove and the old shovels !! Looking forward to the third episode, if yous go back out !

Speaking of deer camp... I watched a doe bring her newborn into my backyard this morning. She bleated and pushed it down to the grass and left. About an hour later she brought the second one out and pushed it down, then left. They are both still there but I haven't seen the mother all afternoon. I posted a picture on my fB page. Nice finds. I don't own an axe and I've been looking at axeheads on e-bay.

You dug a massive 2-ft plug and someone said the target probably isn't a coin. Hilarious. That saw fit perfectly within that plug so you got the last laugh! Finding both halves of the ax was fun! That bucket may be a maple syrup bucket. You may want to give it a closer inspection.

Did the whole bucket you found have a hole in it? That part you guys found at the 2:20 mark looks like the strap that holds the hook of a cant hook to the handle. No idea if I'm close, but that's what it looks like to me and I have a cant hook, lol. You looked like you were having fun!

After Googling a few pictures of old cant hooks, I see what you mean. Definitely a good guess.

Always nice finding things that are hidden from sight. Found a six pack of beer on a beach with a detector once. I don't like beer so I put it back. It seemed like it had been placed there recently for safe keeping. Without a doubt you found a logger,s camp. How much time were you out searching? Sometimes it takes a whole day to find one good thing. The old saw blade was the best. Looks fine the way it is. Please don't tumble it!

@MichiganRocks

3 жыл бұрын

We were there for two or three hours. I thought we did really well for the time we spent. I don't think the saw blade will quite fit in my tumbler. I might need to upgrade.

I think the object @2:16 ish is a part of a Cant Hook or Peavey, it looks like the part that goes around the handle that holds the hook, look at some pics on line to see what you think. And I don't mean to be that guy but the way I have seen axes made is the opposite of what Matt said, the back or poll is one piece and the axe is folded toward the blade end and a piece of high carbon steel is forge welded in between, if the axe is clean you can see the line were the two types of steel meet. And the section of saw blade you found is for hardwoods, 2 teeth and a raker for hard, 4 teeth and a raker for soft, very cool finds all around.

@MichiganRocks

Someone else also thought that thing was part of a cant hook. I looked up pictures and agree that's a good possibility. Please don't ever feel bad about correcting me (or Matt) if we say something that is not correct. How else would we learn? I don't know anything about how axes are made. That's interesting that different saws were used for different types of wood.

Although if it was a logging camp, unless ladies of the evening visited, I am probably wrong.

That saw piece was awesome. If you're creative or know someone who is have them paint a cool picture on there or just clean it up and display it. HH Matt
