It isn't a flower broach, it's Veteran or Patriotic related. Those are two crossed flags, with something I can't make out in between.

[@GMMD]

You're right, an eagle!

[@OsborneExploration]

👍

[@LateNiteGrafix]

Agree. Looks like two flags on either side to me.

[@waynewarner6798]

i think it`s a dove .

[@smokerwizard]

the reaction from the dog when you found the button was priceless

[@KarinaTheDreama]

In fact, it's the dog that made me click! ❤😊

[@denalinde]

I appreciate that you are excited about horse tack. So many detectors write it all off as junk. Horses are a huge part of our history & were the most valuable part of many people’s lives.

[@508Magnets]

I love finding horse tack and buckles, even enjoy finding horse shoes. it helps paint a picture of what the area was used for and the activities that happened way back when

[@unrulyjulie4382]

Horses were indispensable! Almost more than cars for us. We can get on a bus or train to travel long distances, but for them, it was a horse or nothing.

[@hollytate1943]

I'm just 2minutes in and I can tell already by your smile how this episode is going to be. Thank you for just being you. I love what you do and how you do it, from your voice and how you tell the story, to the music, and just your honesty and respect to your actions.

[@stantilton2191]

Mike reminds me of a young Stacy Keach, who is a great actor. Good to see him again. Great day in the clover field. Thank you both.

[@jannekeluif]

😂 the dog’s reaction, when you put your hand in the hole….

[@fedupnow61859]

Great to see Mike again. Used to love seeing both of you together and today is no different. Thanks Brad for another great video

[@richardyoung2652]

Always love watching

[@mollyswan-sheeran2670]

That thing you keep thinking is a flower is 2 US flags & a badge between. You can even see the stripes on the flag. That Ct coin is really a good find. Carry on!

[@browntownadventures]

The look on your face when that dog barked at you was priceless. Another great video per usual!

[@vongroven115]

I believe a strong measure of a man is in the friends he attracts and keeps. It certainly seems like I might be correct in your case as I find the friends who claim you are classy, stand-up sort of folks who all have an aura of dignity much like your own. Bravo, Brad. Your son is a very fortunate lad.

[@cdd4248]

In the friends he attracts and keeps & how he treats animals. I can always tell the character of a man by how he treats animals!

[@terryt.1643]

Nice to see Mike, hope you get together again while he is in the area. Great day today, happy Friday!

[@nancyestes7506]

Great show and glad Mike is back.

[@bobmanzi7712]

great stuff thanks. i love Friday!

[@hdood]

“You stay silver!” Sounds like something for the merch store!

[@johnlaforte700]

Thanks for the experience, and a history encounter. 😊

[@mwayneembree4492]

That's an eagle in the middle of two crossed flags, definitely patriotic or even military. Great video! Keep them coming!

[@debbieobryan5607]

Thankyou Brad and Mike.

[@valerieloeffler6174]

Great finds! Great to see both of you together again. Harmony.

[@morganisch1737]

My son just got his first metal detector (he’s 7) and we are watching your videos for inspiration. He insisted we subscribe and say thank you for sharing these. We are in Michigan for reference, hoping to find some fun things. 😊

[@samuelsiedschlag4486]

Awesome adventure. Thanks for sharing your finds...

[@joycekennedy1730]

I had surgery last week and I am feeling better than I have in years, and as the snow falls here in Vermont I watch you digging in a field of clover and I can't wait to get out there and start detecting again. Sweet Digs Brad !!

[@dustijoeb5018]

Budge is So Helpful! He loves your digging holes, he's not allowed;) Anyway, thanks for always a fun time, education, and a smile on my face!

[@kellyhawes9293]

Great video with Capt. Copper Mike. It is amazing how many coins were found in that field over the years.

[@dat2ra]

Yayy, Brad. Brand new year and brand new hat! :-)

[@kennyrester1032]

I enjoy the way you tell a story about the people that once live their. The understanding that you have with that area is very interesting. Always anticipating what you might find next. Thanks brother!

[@canigetachannel]

Thank you, Brad. Blessings from afar! 👍✌️

[@maryhudson6137]

Wingsandbeaks here ~ So good to see Mike and you together reminiscing. Lots of old finds. That place is beautiful.

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Hmmm 🤔. So many ancient artifacts being overlooked. 😮

[@lindamesa5122]

It's always so good to see u every Fri. Morning! A hot cup of coffee and metal detecting ! Hi Mike ur dog was very interested in what Brad was doing, that was so funny!💕❤️💜❤️💕

[@levihart]

Best way to get details out of a copper coin like that, soak it in olive oil. Gorgeous finds as always

[@karentrimmer]

My first thought on the jewelry piece was of a necklace I had as a child back in the early 1960s. The charm was of a descending dove which represents baptism. These charms were quite common at the time for necklaces, charm bracelets and even anklets. I've seen other posts saying "eagle & crossed flags" which also sounds plausible. I can see where the flower idea also works. You're able to see it better than we are.

[@josmith4405]

I immediately thought it was a Dove. It would have hung with the head down, I believe. Nice find.

[@nancyford4536]

Awesome to see Mike again. Glad you both enjoyed yourselves. The dog had a good time too. Stay safe guys.

[@MoosefromCanada]

Nice haul. Good to see Mike and tell him his dog is awesome . I laughed so hard when he woofed at you 🤣👍it woke up Moose my pitty

[@diggun]

It’s great to see you out hunting Brad, especially when it’s too cold and frozen out here in South Dakota! Love your finds today…Keep on hunting! Ro

[@erikcarey215]

Brad, you're telling the story of the USA. Super cool!!!!!

[@benfranks6375]

Looked like an awesome day! Old friend and great treasures!

[@JonathanBourneEsq]

Hello from Chicago! I grew up in Vermont and have only lately discovered your work. I love watching them and being whisked away back home!

[@stevenstark9017]

Great video Brad. Congratulations on finding the Connecticut copper way cool, and the thin silver coin, and the cool relics too plus the coppers you and Mike found.

[@52daa]

Good show great finds🎉

[@ChrisE1129]

Awesome video Brad! Congrats on your finds!

[@memorylaine]

Wow!! Mostly coins! An "I told you so" with the silver! I loved your video and "it was made even better by our friend Mike!" As always such a pleasure to watch you mental detect and and beautiful Vermont!

[@debbiehedgepeth2306]

I’ve been wondering where Mike has been. Good to see him again! You guys are awesome together.

[@roxannaweaver2155]

This was fun, and you got to share with your friend too. Friday morning is always off to a good start with you. Stay golden.

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Wow, great finds. When I was born, that one coin was already 201 years old. Amazing

[@capecoddiggerzmetaldetecti5718]

Great bunch of finds, nice spot for sure, bet there's more 😃 Great vid as always, look forward to the next 😁

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Lovely video, makes me smile to see happy, charming people, long may it be so. My fingers are crossed for more silver🤞.

[@Ginab394]

Great find .. I love your videos I have been watch for years

[@kristinebailey86]

Fabulous finds !!!

[@bells1054]

Some great finds with a great friend!! Congratulations!

[@brittmorrison4678]

As always, great hunt Brad!

[@daveofbakersfield47]

addicted go your videos...i dig your music!

[@garymartin6066]

Love the coins you found and all what you dig bringing up history

[@c.h.9193]

Mike, welcome back! So good to see you again. Celebrity status...love lt. One of our old favorites was the Ice Cave adventure:) This was fun. Cathleen

[@leattaslone1800]

Good job guys! These are awesome finds!

[@thewolfpack9456]

I'm a long time subscriber I love your videos! I so wish I could join you on one of these hunts. I love history and learning about history. I would love to find some of this history as well. I live in Kentucky and I never find anything as historical and cool as you do. Thanks for these amazing videos and keep up the amazing work!

[@kimetherington2252]

Great video today! Welcome back Mike, maybe you two can get out again while your here and find some cool treasures! Til next time take care...

[@ManKidRides]

Woaaaah EXTREME!!! Couldn't possibly go any further because there's grass! I know what you mean, i didn't mow my lawn when i was meant to and now i'm trapped in my house and running out of food with no possible way to get out because there's long grass...

[@bromeliad11]

Really enjoyed the dog very nice looking he was having a good time. Nice your friend brought him along.

[@toddz8421]

Great finds! Awesome that you found that beehive insulator! I’m guessing it was a Brookfield CD 145. Skirt embossed is early 1900’s. Dome embossed is late 1800’s

[@old5andimer713]

Another enjoyable and informative GMMD video .. Thanks Brad. I'm not surprised at the number of "Ct. Coppers" you found in the clover field, for if my memory serves me well, wasn't that was part of Vermont actually Ct. "back in the day?" .. IMHO the pick of the day was the Federal Shield .. a nice addition for any collection .. Thanks again for posting.

[@irenemariebelanger3758]

Hey Mike nice to see you back, you have a great looking dog. I like the silver coins the best. I hope that you get to keep them 🇨🇦

[@SacagaweaCoin]

Awesome Just love stories about discoveries like mine

[@southsaskmetaldetecting2036]

Good seeing your old buddy again. Stay silver Brad

[@digginghistory76]

Great hunt, Brad! That KGII is in gorgeous condition

[@davidlansom]

Great stuff

[@harridan.]

love your videos! McClellan saddles had shields which indicated the size seat

[@tincuptimmetaldetecting9259]

Not a bad outing at all Brad! Congrats on the 1/2 Reale and coppers!! Good job and all the best!

[@marykaystreasures]

I enjoyed your video thank you for sharing 👍♥️🗝️🇺🇸😊

[@northeastexpanse]

Really liked seeing the coins you found! The Connecticut one was very interesting!

[@toddellzey4407]

You are a natural onthe camera and one of the coolest guys I've seen on youtube.

[@Rocks123]

You know it's nice to find old relics remnants of the past. But the best part is spending time with your friend.... P.s I remember Mike... Happy hunting

[@edcotter3604]

B rad you make the best detecting videos out there. Mike I like your message at the end. I hope people heed your words. I know what prompted them. 👍🇺🇸💪

[@johnjacobs1625]

Nice to see friends back together! JJ

[@Bob_Suruncle]

You can make a cool night light out of the old insulators. Make an octagonal or round platform make a relief for the insulator to sit in and put a socket for a LED Christmas type bulb in the middle.

[@bethcorey6022]

When you first found the button and it was still in the ground, the dog got excited like he was going to play with whatever you found. 😂😂😂❤

[@janvafa9959]

Time spent with friends is always special!

[@harrysurtees8710]

WOW a gold coin you found. Great to see old buddies. Your channel is starting to grow on me. I think I likeit 🙂

[@sherryhunt8049]

Great video great job guys.

[@jstreetparking]

Great video as usual, but the actual treasure is the dog. Please share more information about the pup. 10/10 priceless #gooddog

[@toddrodgers5108]

When you pulled back from the flower thing. To me it looks like two flags with a torch in the middle. Blessings

[@paulabonin3637]

If you check your past videos I think you’ll find another piece of metal very similar to the one you’re calling a piece of jewelry. I remember thinking it was a bird (as I thought again today) and you were calling it a flower then too. I have dropped all of my subscriptions except yours. What you do and find continues to intrigue me. Keep up the good work.

[@Objective-Observer]

A great day with a friend and plenty of finds.... does it get much better than that?

[@zworm2]

Who needs a shovel when you got a Budge! Great hunt and Budge is the luck one. Good to see Mike too.

[@dinahjackson8146]

Hi, Mike ! 😊 This has been fun !!! 🎈🎈🎈

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice job boys!!!!!

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!!

[@dawncornwall6268]

Brad, love your adventures but especially love your soundtrack. I put Soundcloud on when I need background music to concentrate on work. Beautiful compositions.

[@craigrogers3235]

That piece of jewelry at 6:00 is in the shape of a bird / dove. That was my impression.

[@joeprovence8707]

Great seeing Mike again. It’s nice to have good lifelong friends. Very enjoyable video. I can’t decide who could get you in more trouble Eddie or Mike? LOL

[@thescottishdetectorist]

Great digging!! Fantastic video. Happy hunting from a fellow Detectorist in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kimnkruzin]

I think he needs to watch your channel to learn about. Hammered Roman silver coins, especially the coin with the CON and OCT, on it. It looked to me like one of the coins that you find out in the fields of Perthshire! (Love your channel)

[@kimnkruzin]

I recomment you watch The Scottish Detectorist channel. Very educational. He finds Hammered Roman coins. Kinda like the Silver coins you found. Also Gorgeous Georgian silver coin.. and the small coin with a CON on it... its old roman I believe. Good luck! Keep hunting.

[@ddayize]

Aways good to catch up with old friends. As difficult as working the iron is or can be it usually holds some goodies.

[@joebrown1382]

I'd have to polish the shield would look good in your case. Beautiful British coin. Looks like a diving bird. I was a lineman for 30 years & I collected insulators with wooden pins, Mickey Mouse & ones like you found clear & blue. Nice Conn. copper. I'm thinking reale. Nice seeing Mike again.

[@onepercentpermile]

Brad, love your show! Hey, I was wondering if Mike is married? He sure is nice looking with that sweet smile and dimple on his cheek. Oh yes, I live out west where the real mountains are, close to Yosemite
