My New 1280 Lbs Pull Force Magnet - Did I find a Leprachaun Pot ?

It took me all summer but I'm back exploring and treasure hunting. I'm pretty excited about this new magnet. It's a beast. You know how much I love doing this and finding weird stuff, so imagine how I felt when that thing came out from the water. Enjoy the video and subscribe !!!



As usual, I'll ask all of you to help me find out what are these artifacts. I thought they could be sorta witchcraft or old trade tools. Hard to believe they are toys. No Idea how old they are, no marks, letters or symbols. Really intriguing. Help Trueman please

Is that a teeny tiny wee anvil?

I think one may be a Coal scuttle.

Other stuff looks like farming tools.

The first thing in the video looks like a brake pad. The other stuff reminds me of tools a rock hound might use like an old rock hammer.

I think you nailed about the brake pad.

Yes, it is. Weird right?

Yeah, it looks like some kind of portable smelting pot and tools, maybe some one was smithing illegally gathered metal ores and tossed it in water to avoid being caught.

Not sure though, but they look like something from 1800s definitely not newer than early to mid 1900s because of industrial advances.

Some old hand made tools is what it looks like.

Perhaps a historical search of the area would reveal more.
I certain a museum historian could point you in right direction.

I can't find a photo of a coal scuttle like that one. The tools were inside it, must be related.

The thing with the chain on looks like a Pike gag. When you catch a Pike and the hook is in it's mouth you don't put your hand in. You squeeze the gag and put the ends in it's mouth to keep it open to make it safer to extract the hook.

Was just a guess mate.

My old Gran had one looked like that Caldron sat next to the fire for donkeys.

Like someone else suggests mining or smelting might have something to do with there use.

I know my friend. I appreciate your contribution

I'm just wondering what i could pull out the river Clyde with one of those?

Aside from old prams and shopping trollies of course.

Looks really interesting.

Fairy tools and a witches caldron. Do you think there is any magic left on them? Better be careful about incantations or cursing about them. Ha Ha Ha ..... have fun.

I have it right next to me in a box. I don't know what to do with it yet. I'll wait for some poltergeist at home

I just checked some pics of that river. It looks really promising. Go for it !

It's not a Leprechaun Pot because it's made of iron and the Fey don't like iron.



Nice finds though!

a reply to: Trueman

Treasure hunting is fascinating. I hope you find a big one!!

a reply to: Trueman


1920-1940 childrens toy set, probably be an axe and saw to match. are these you found made of wrought iron ?

a reply to: suicideeddie

Pretty sure all iron. I'd like to see a photo of that set of toys. Did they come with the pot?

a reply to: Trueman

the anvil and rake are throwing me a bit i cant recall ever seeing a toy blacksmith kit, its not really the thing to buy your kids, you could get a complete copy of dads diy kit or stateside even a riggers belt kit.
i do recall a small rake being used on a miniture steam loco firebox so i am wondering if its a set for steam engineers as they tend to reproduce everything thats on track, stations,signals workshops etc.
the part with the chain is also bugging me i have seen it before somewhere
