Did I Find Something From a Meteor Shower?

[@coondog98vids]

That lid definitely looks like an old beer stein lid!

[@melliW1]

The beer stein, is just right, I have a few of these. An uncle used to collect them. We kept a few nice ones and sold the rest. there are many collectors for these (Bierkrüge or Bembel) (German spoken) viele grüße aus Deutschland😊

[@jackburgess9482]

Beer Stein is what I immediately thought too.

[@andreworr4307]

I agree,I've seen them almost identical, although it could be from a small samovar

[@dustinleed9696]

This also gets my vote

[@dawncornwall6268]

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

[@roamsweethome4895]

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.

[@weedfreer]

I've seen others mention it could be a cast iron word burner plate removing hook...however, this would make by far more sense for sure! Good shout! 😊

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

You could be right. I was thinking the gadget women used to use to help button their shoes/boots.

[@malcolmswiftfoot9881]

I thought it may be a skirt puller, but you are right, it makes sense. The knife is like a Nordic leather workers style.

[@tomcarlson3244]

That makes sense.

[@cdd4248]

I thought about that too, but the bottom is awfully thick for a corset pull. I don't know maybe? ;)

[@mass4552]

The jelly-like “stuff” is a Nostoc algae, a genus of cyanobacterium formerly classified as blue-green algae. It has multiple common names like star jelly.

[@StaceNyourFace]

I thought it was some type of algae or fungus. Thanks for the clarification. 👍😉

[@melliW1]

@@StaceNyourFace you ar right it is a fungus and it kan move around looking for food about 1 centimeter per day sounds funny but it is what it is. you cann look in a enceclopedia. greetings from germany😊😊✌🏻

[@McChrister]

@@melliW1 I can’t just “Google” it? 😜

[@twitchintimmahh2168]

Starjelly was called witch snot in Europe. It’s when a pregnant toad or frog is getting eaten by a predator and it loses the eggs.. not sure that it’s the same as in the vid.. But it’s either eggs or nostoc

[@seph__]

Yeah, I was very confused as to why he was saying that "no one knows" what it is.

[@jefflawrentz1624]

I think the lid is from one of those stoneware beer steins. But the mystery item first thought to be handle to cruet set looks like late 18th century castings from the shell motif. I’m clueless but hope you’ll share the answer on this one. Those are some cool finds. Thanks for taking us along, Brad !

[@KathysTube]

Moose meeting at the Moose Lodge 😂 Thanks Brad 😎👍

[@melliW1]

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.

[@russbaker3945]

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.

[@sylviajones4907]

So interesting to know. He never said if he found any or not. I was hoping he did & just waiting to share with us later.

[@ALCE52]

That's my nickname I've been moose since the 7 the grade, ala Mr. Richardson, Math Teacher.

[@wanderingmichigan2492]

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.

[@cdd4248]

Great Story! Thank you for sharing.

[@steveclark4291]

Brad , I love your videos because you don't just show your finds but also tell stories and show the beautiful scenery around you ! Thank you for sharing it with me ! I always look forward to Fridays for your videos !

[@armynp]

I also love the excellent scenery you post.

[@beadladee]

The ornate thing you found at the end reminds me of an ornate lace pulling device for corsets or boots.

[@hardluckclub7271]

that’s a very good idea and i think your probably right on the money😊

[@lirazel6414]

I agree -- a button hook!

[@20greeneyes20]

Yes my guess is well.....

[@vernowen2083]

The handle reminds me of the type my grandma used to pull the cast iron cover on her wood burning stove/oven. Yes, I'm that old!

[@fedupnow61859]

I'm not that old but my first husbands grandma used this for the same thing. 1979 circa.

[@jonathanstanley2531]

If the jelly moves up the stick and absorbs your hand, it’s “The Blob.” As always, awesome hunt. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

If someone from Haverhill heard how you pronounced it I think they would fight you. Haha. Good finds Brad

[@Mariarosey]

Haave-rill :)

[@carolberubee4431]

Yup, I lived in Chelmsford as a kid. It rhymes with CAVE-rill.

[@dpmaine]

Bingo

[@leesmith2798]

Exactly

[@bfgreg1]

I grew up in Haverhill, and agree completely!

[@melliW1]

hey Brad, this gelly is a fungus that can move around in search of food. it sounds funny but that's how it is. you can look it up in an encyclopedia. we have many of these in our wood. (small only 50.000 sq feet) greetings from germany😊 PS: i love your videos

[@danlewis6157]

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.

[@terrirogers6965]

Blue Mountain is a type of denium jean pants commonly sold at Tractor Supply stores.

[@robertjustice7911]

[@gillianwalker4766]

Thank goodness winter is over!! 👏👍😉

[@jengalloway4961]

I could be wrong, but the stone in the "cuff" bracelet looks like moon stone. Definitely not opal. Great finds and beautiful nature.

[@DIGOLOGIST]

Awesome bracelet That looks like the lid to a beer stein! great Stuff as usual , thanks and Hope you find some more gold nuggets ! John

[@terihomer5316]

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

Awesome hunt!! Bizarre finds are always welcome! Haha

[@rikspector]

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

[@kathyprecek5462]

Hi Brad, could the decorative handle with the curved end be a shoe or boot hook? The woods are so beautiful! Thanks for taking us along.

[@patty4091]

Good idea, would it have a rounded end though?

[@mollyfritz-beckers6821]

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.

[@masonmercmetaldetecting]

Still hands down the best metal detecting channel out here!!! Awesome job as always Brad!

[@sourcreamking]

What an adventure! You found the moose toilet AND sasquatch ejaculate! 🤣Love the crotal bell though, shame it wasn't complete... See you next week!

[@kathleensue1]

That thing you thought was a handle to a cruet set, may be used to loosen the strings on a ladies corset? That’s why it’s so decorative and rounded on the end?

[@richardwintle1020]

Don't know if this relates to the object you found, but Blue Mountain pottery is from Collingwood in southern Ontario. The Blue Mountains are generally in Grey county, same part of the world.

[@cdoggyish]

That lid you found at 4:04 looks like it's off of an old beer stein.

[@jerebigler7520]

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

[@cdoggyish]

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.

[@janas7088]

Beautiful silver bracelet. Awesome crotal bell. Great token.

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

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

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?

[@ronboxhall7716]

I love that advertising token! So much information on it.

Haha... You're like the postman neither rain nor sleet nor hell... Lil. You know I really enjoy your photos that you take, I'm always fascinated with the fungus, So that one that you took with the orange, is beautiful. Not only do I what you find, I love all that you do in your videos. My favorite is when you find something in our so excited. But I love the information you give. As a hunter's ex I'm really intrigued by that big huge area of poop or is it scat.. I Hope to hear what those two ornate handles were and I'm always thrilled when you find a bell! See you next week Brad...

[@craziedigging4590]

Great Hunt Brad. Looking like a Beer Stein lid to me also. Very nice find. Love tge Silver Bracelet. Love the IHP and Advertising Token. Very cool Handle you found. Hope you'll be able to identify what it was used for. Take Care Brad

Oh nice! I always thought they were saying scrotal bells. Then when you started calling them jingle bells I was thinking they must hang from a scrotum. Thanks for the information.

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]

Someone here identified the organism as a prokaryote, Cyanobacterium , (a.k.a blue green alga) Nostoc. It is not a slime mold which is a eukaryote.

[@zworm2]

@@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.

[@thomastrain7311]

Many years ago I was in El Salvador after hurricane mitch on a humanitarian mission in the army. There was a massive blob of this "star jelly" and it did move from day to day.

[@zworm2]

@@thomastrain7311 Slime molds and similar communal organisms are amazing and how they suddenly appear, disappear and can move seems to defy our understanding. Watch out for them and observe. Thanks

I love the mystery items! It's like your still out in the woods trying to Detect what you've found and what it's for, how old it is! When you figure it out the gratification you get from that can be satisfying or disappointing! My point being is that your not always finished when you get home because theres detecting to be done when you get there! Lol, thats why I love it! It even gets your audience involved in the comment section! Til next time take care and we'll see you on the next! Keep on digging Brad...

[@Homebrew58]

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.

[@sonnyharrelson3897]

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.

[@rubenyoungblood3167]

That hinged thing looks like the lids on a couple of my beer steins...
