Fireplace tongs used for moving wood in the fire, I've forged a pair. They were used to move coals to tin bedwarmers and sometimes for pipe tongs , lighting your smoking pipe with a coal. The corkscrew is a very unusual find as well. So cool to see these things found. Another great video share with all of us. Thank you Brad.

What a haul! Love the fish-hook; old fishing tools and tackle actually fascinate me, and I've gone to the trouble of making a medieval-style "cork" (actually made from the quill-ends of two really large feathers, cut off and joined together with glue and thread because Spanish Cork-Oaks didn't exactly grow everywhere) and some bone fish-hooks. Unless you're looking at gouge-hooks (not really hooked at all, they were straight bars or ovals), the tackle looks pretty much the same everywhere; this is one instance where the old form-follows-function thing was pretty universal, at least for fish weighing less than 50 pounds or so.

putting my money on a snuffer cap for candles. there was a wire handle that crimped on the knob on the end of the cone, enabling them to reach the candles up high and fingers away from the flames. the second item isn't a cork screw. its an auger. they would have a handle (branch) and used to turn manually to drill out holes.

@thomasdalton2232

Yes, I thought candle snuffer as well. The dimple on top was to keep the wick from getting smushed down... more modern bell shaped ones have dimples on top for the same reason. Not sure it was held with wire though.. as the weight seems to substantial for wire. The bottom flange was probable to keep it from falling over and the heaviness protected it from damage... if and when it did! The cone is tapered so as to be able to snuff out different diameter candles. Do you see wax residue inside? Though beeswax (common back then) might well have broken down over time. As far as the other, I lean towards cork screw, augers seem to have a longer shaft to penetrate wood to a depth not required for simply removing a cork. I had some web links for example images in an earlier post.. but that post apparently got rejected because of them.

Looking at 18th century examples/images from Google search for wood drilling.. bits/devices, NONE have a cork screw design as the recovered item sports. If it was meant to drill a hole, it would remove the shavings as it was turned/inserted, a cork screw is designed to screw //into// the material and NOT to hollow it out. Some have also proffered it might be to mount/hang something on a wall, but a nail or nail like implement would be much easier to make/procure and use for such a purpose. And frankly, IMHO trying to insert that into a wood wall would be near impossible.. even for pine, it would split anything not soft enough to give as it inserted.. cork has give. Again, images of known cork screws of that period are similar to what was found.. NOT augers or drill bits/devices for wood of that period. That said, we may never know with 100% certainty.

I think the pocketknife is a Barlow style. Looks like it at any rate; large bolster and teardrop shaped handle. I read somewhere that George Washington carried one and Mark Twain mentions them in one of his books. Still made today. I think you're 100% spot on with the id on the corkscrew. The large thing with the joint in it is a broken set of fireplace tongs, I think.

Great and interesting finds. From items I've seen and own from an auction box I bought years ago... I definitely think it could be a corkscrew. I'm sure tons of comments have said already. I have one from the late 1800s with a wooden sleeve and a brand of whiskey advertising on it. Now recently on one of they detecting pages I am on... I think it's the ID Me page. Someone found an old corkscrew with a metal sleeve. I had never seen one like it. Very cool. But the idea of the sleeve whether wood or metal.. you would slide off the sleeve and put it through the hole on top of the corkscrew to use as a handle. But I loved all your find on this adventure as well. Happy hunting.

A suggestion. I detect old or abandoned farms and homesteads in SE MN and became frustrated by not being able to identify the old tools I was finding in those locations, so I started visiting area antique shops in search of some answers. Many of them sell old tools used in midwest farming and some include the tool name and/or a description of what it was used for. Added benefit...ones for sale are always in better shape than those dug and that sometimes makes it easier to identify their use as well. Either way...this becomes a very "hands-on" method for doing research...not only after the fact...but collecting knowledge ahead of finds as well. This kind of knowledge could help with identifying your possible corkscrew item and log holder. Best of luck! Jim Parry, Backroads Metal Detecting

Concerning the Tallio cufflink. Although originally intended to represent sportsmen or fox hunting, it is my understanding that they later became a symbol of something else. Supposedly, there was a politician at the time (pre-revolution) by the sir name of "Fox". This politician was pro-succession. And many people started wearing these as a sign of resistance against British tyranny. So I've read somewhere. Good video as always!
