Season 1 Goofs Questions

In Season 1, episode 4 (going by Amazon's counting the pilot as episode 1), "The 100-Mile Walk," in the scene where Caroline is talking to the women about gleaning the wheat, on the bottom right of the screen, between some of the women's dresses, some sort of metal rod appears in a couple of shots. It doesn't look like a piece of farm equipment as it is very shiny and modern-looking. It can't be a mike boom as it is at ground level. I can't think of any reason either for the historical look or for technical filming that it should be there. Anyone agree? Anyone know what it is? And is this a case of the modern TV shape showing part of the picture which would be expected to be cut off on older TVs or was it there originally? Thanks.

I thought I saw a place to post about goofs but now I don't see it.  If I missed it could someone please point it out?  I just wanted to say that on "The Racoon" they spelled raccoon wrong.  Also some punctuation is wrong, such as "Mr. Edward's Return" should be "Mr. Edwards's," being possessive.  The other way is a broken version of his name. In "Christmas at Plum Creek," Mr. Oleson apparently didn't know the pony's gender. Everyone else referred to Bunny as "he/him" but at the end Mr. Oleson said, "Thatta girl," apparently to the pony and not to either of the girls.  That's all I got so far.

If you go to each season you are watching, pick out the episode, you can look through those comments and post your own there. A lot of the members have caught many bloopers, and you are more than welcome to join in!
