Coins Found Older Than America Itself! | Metal Detecting Colonial Vermont

I spent the first half the day unsuccessfully digging in the mountains when I receive a call from Jeff, it appears the colonial field wasn't planted this season! Spent the second half of the day digging colonial coins, relics, & jewelry!

It is so nice to find a young person who can communicate without profanity. Thanks! Keep it that way.

[@MrWharfrat05]

"Want me to pour some beer on it?" Love it. That's the preferred cleaning method of my dad if my dirt-covered finds spend too much time sitting on his tailgate. Another great video. Thanks

[@hm2mahoney]

N K that is alcohol abuse ha ha

[@GMMD]

Haha! Jeff isn't really into the hobby, just came along for the ride, he's a funny guy! Thanks for watching!!

[@oleadataylor2122]

What is making everyone in Vermont loose their buttons? I love Vermont. We have been there twice and wish to go back but as they say "we are not in charges of our future plans, God is. I was going to work a couple of so years and then resign my Nursing position. Two years before I was going to resign I collapsed due to disease in my back. Can't seat for very Long or walk more than 5 minutes and down I go and there is no earthly way I can get up. Any way I love the houses, everything about Vermont. I live in the great mountains of Georgia. If you was ever down here we have about 2 miles of wooded area behind our house. This area was a big Civil War area. Several battles were known to be around here. They cut all the trees for lumber . Lot of leaves in there. Well nice finding you on your video. Be careful out there and don't go in some of those places by your self.

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching, Oleada!!

[@connierose311]

My heart hurts for you! Gentle hugs! I guess we just let those that can do for us so we can then watch!

[@cheekrandy]

Just wanted to say thank you for producing such a great program!

[@michaelguinn5736]

Hey Brad, I've always had a interest in finding things in the woods, I've never had a metal detector, but I soon plan on buying one, your videos have re-sparked my interest in roaming the woods searching for stuff...keep up the good work.

[@PamelaHegedusLadyDiggerinPa]

Nice dig. Thanks fir taking us along!

[@GMMD]

Thanks for coming along, Pamela!!

[@metaldetectingmike5766]

Skunked in the morning and bingo in the evening, I feel you pain lol. Great hunt.

[@ErlefromVa]

Beers for a guaranteed dig, nothing wrong with that! Nice finds, love the old saddle strap guides, Copper and a neat ring piece! Thanks for sharing and a beautiful spot to dig for sure!

[@GMMD]

Perfect end to a not so perfect day! Thanks for watching!!

[@anthonytreece5066]

I Love it!! "Want some beer on it!" .. "NO!" - Lol Still enjoying watching the old vids Brad 👍👊

[@liveuk]

We all love old coins and the people that settled there probably loved their home it's so nice. They like us probably took old family stuff with them. I have ancient stuff in my home and watching this thought would people find my stuff and think I was from the stone age because of my stuff 🧐

[@jerrydineen2827]

An Awesome assortment of relics and coins. I love that view, so peaceful.

[@GMMD]

Thanks a ton, Jerry, the view is certainly hard to beat!!

[@mcdigsbmore6531]

Thanks for another Green Mountain adventure!

[@GMMD]

Thanks for coming along!

[@mcdigsbmore6531]

Didn't know that I'd have the opportunity to use your "sand paper" method on a coin. Dug a very chunky copper today and used 150 grit fine sand paper to remove the accretions on the high detail points. Result is that the coin is able to be identified - a 1760 Voce Populi half penny, my oldest coin.

[@jhuntosgarage]

I'm diggin that music!

[@GMMD]

Thanks a ton! I don't play a ton of slide guitar, but thought I would give it a try for this video! Thanks for watching!!

[@williamguinn3142]

Great finds,an view. I live in the Blue ridge mountains, copper hill Tennessee area.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Brad, I loved the music in this video - awesome. The finds were pretty cool, congrats x

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Sue!

[@afsof1015]

Very nice finds Brad. The George III Half Penny reconfirms the site and gives a 50 year window. George III came to the throne in 1760 and his son was declared Regent in 1810. In the end George III was known as Mad George, suffering a physical disease that caused Dementia. Seeking permission with a bit of adult beverage is an old hunters trick, it often brings smiles form the land owner. Thank you for sharing my friend :-))

[@GMMD]

Ah yes, the mad king who lost America! Such an interesting point in history! Thanks again!!

[@richardbaumeister466]

Love the music! Love your show

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear it, Richard!

[@__Jess910]

Giving high Rodgers Neighborhood vibes in the beginning of this old but new to me video of yours lol

[@CoinSilver800]

That ring is definitely gold, if colonial and British its possible to be 9 karat, most British 9k has that orange look.

[@GMMD]

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll have to get it tested!

[@irishgrammy]

Pretty sure it's a signet ring. Came here from Sidestep Adventures and binge watching!

[@malyman24]

Congrats on IDing that King William III . I dug one last Nov. in CT dated 1700. Great hunt with awesome finds. I can not wait to hunt my 1st corn field. Still trying to sweet talk the lady. Great video, Thanks.

[@GMMD]

Wow that's awesome you were able to get a date off it, the fertilizer did a number on mine! Maybe try bringing the field owner an adult beverage 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching!!

[@openstationloggingkevinbak4625]

Nice dig thanks for sharing good of farmers to let you guys dig there 👍

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot, Kevin!!

[@daianmata5945]

Hola ! Have a very Blessed day.

[@riotagus]

Wow !! You found a metal frog, that's cool.

[@GMMD]

It was hard to tell from the video but it was actually wearing a megadeath shirt as well

[@riotagus]

I was only joking.

[@GMMD]

Me too...

[@roadpanzir]

A cosmic button! I can appreciate a good cup of coffee just about anytime myself - I saw that Keurig machine!

[@Greengrass1972]

Beautiful scenery, great hunt Brad

[@GMMD]

Thanks again Martin!!

[@ShortBusScotty]

I'd be real impressed if you found coins from the future.

[@OurPastAu]

Awesome finds!

[@jefferyallan9015]

How cool is that! I love half pennies. It'd probably take two bucks worth of copper to make one today!

[@GMMD]

Haha you're probably right!!

[@GMMD]

Definitely an easy day of digging to be sure, much easier than the first half of the day! Thanks for watching!!

[@geronimo5947]

Very nice finds of the Colonial times , Wish we had some of that history here in California

[@GMMD]

Thanks friend!

[@nepahistoryandarchaeologys8623]

Awesome hunt, lots of history on that hill. Thanks for sharing! Good luck, take care..

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching!!

[@rachelk5720]

love your videos!!! I wish I lived up there to do some metal detector findings!!!

[@GMMD]

Thanks, Rachel! Glad to hear you enjoy the videos!!

[@rachelk5720]

If you ever get to Virginia, would be cool to find anything from my 6th great grandfather's time the land he had for nearly 100 years.

[@CoilstotheSoil]

a lot of history there, nice video

[@TheYoungFilmmaker]

Love your videos and your channel! YEAH!

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot!!!

[@superman3640]

Thanks for watching!!

[@roguerebel2023]

I love your choice of music!

[@GMMD]

Thanks a ton, Rick! I try to write a new piece of music for each video, decided on something a little different this week! Thanks for watching!!

[@outlawjjsmith]

Lets hear it for the Green Mountain, Nice diggin and cool finds

[@GMMD]

Thanks again, Mr Smith!!

[@orscrub3161]

oh my! what a beautiful area! we have mountains but not spread out like yours. ours are close together making it difficult terrain. 😒

[@RelicMedic]

Great hunt!! I believe the chain is a cloak clasp chain. Awesome colonial finds!

[@GMMD]

Whoa thanks Chris, I hadn't considered that! That's awesome!

[@jimgriffiths9071]

A couple of cold beers on a hot day. Perfect.

[@GMMD]

Perfect, indeed! Thanks for watching!!

[@lostbutnowfound599]

Great digs

[@guytoken3094]

Belle sortie de détection mon ami. Demain trip de détection avec mon frère Michel aux Iles de la Madeleines au Québec pour deux semaines. Translation my friend lol.

[@GMMD]

Thanks, Guy! Wow, two weeks, sounds like a blast! Good luck and Thanks for watching!!

[@brianvaughn1468]

Aspiring 50 yr old detectorist. Doing my home work. Awesome music in all yer shows

[@GMMD]

Thanks Brian!

[@albertkillian4513]

Quite nice such an old coin older then America

[@jasonknab2692]

You make some great video's, good luck and keep them coming

[@davilianobostonma7669]

I think the ring is..Victorian gold filled / top of a signet ring. I think the spoon handle is coin silver as well. The little piece of silver looks like the back of a bowl from a colonial rat tail spoon..Always like your Vids!

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

Amazing video and channel!!! Blessings 😇

[@dustytables3638]

Question for you: In your opinion, do you think that a lot of the artifacts you find scattered about those old homesteads were caused by fire in the structures? Do you find evidence of this on some of them? I'm envious of your soil there. You can sink an E tool into the ground a good distance! Here in E TN, you're lucky to dig 4 inches down and then hit red clay. Lovely country up that way!

[@kosmos1957]

yes, toads develop from the small black tadpoles you see in lakes and streams. The larger brown tadpoles are frogs.

[@goldenvalleysearchersdan5101]

well i am impressed mate...yes definatey a willy III half penny and some great digging on your colonial permission you need to extend your area of gridding mate there will be more there best of luck ...Dan

[@121dough]

Another great video. On an odd note....noticed the bag of Duke's snacks in your passenger seat and thought....hey, they'd be a good sponsor for you. Sent them a message with the location of this videa...what the hey...if they don't go for it...maybe that p.r. group may become fans...you make it pretty easy to get hooked.....

[@GMMD]

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I'll give it a go!

[@Michael-wl4fj]

I love your show and have watched every episode i can. I was introduced to metal detecting as a child by my god parents and continue to this day but have never found things like you do living in Florida. Now at 52 yrs young my metal detector is a 20yr old Garrett GT 1250. I'd like to know which one you have, or recommend as its time to get a newer one. Thanks Mike

[@murdoc4794]

Great coin. You folks seems to be just tripping over those things up there! Oh, and we've found your doppelganger. It's that guy on the front of your jerky bag!

[@GMMD]

Haha you can call me Duke

[@benjamingary4850]

I was wondering I do almost all my metal detecting in the woods does a real small coil work good there

[@GMMD]

I use my smaller 5x8 coil for better discrimination in high iron areas!

[@HistoricSteamTV]

I remember quarry swimming in NH and sliding off the concrete race track at Bromley Mtn as a kid in VT wish I had detected instead. LOL! Did fish Orvis pond with worms though, LOL!

[@GMMD]

Haha awesome! Bromley isn't too far from me, beautiful area!!

[@stevemiller6766]

I do like your presentation in your videos sir. I have to wonder at all the abandoned home sites you hunt. What is the back story, why were these places abandoned? Also, how about a playlist of the music you use, some oof it is really catchy. Thank you.

[@GMMD]

Thanks Steve! I'm sure all the original inhabitants had their own reasons for leaving, but I imagine most were because of the new, cheap land opening up out west. All the music I make for the videos can heard at www.GMMD.us!

[@kprairiesun]

Love the music and your videos

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!

[@Kellijoy1213]

Great finds!! Keep up the videos!!!

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching!!

[@johndodson4527]

Really big coinfield!

[@kretowisko9056]

Nice dig

[@gofinder2914]

Yep.One coin but awesome coin..thanks fore the share..peaaaaaace

[@ohwhatelse]

Now THAT is something! Good for you . Coin SHOULD be worth a fortune & I'm glad for you. I'd love to do some detecting myself but there sure aren't going to be any colonial coins or the like out here in the NW. I do know of one old fort area, though.... hmm

[@DuranSexton]

Nice hunt

[@johanjohansson2837]

Another great hunt

[@LordofTreasure]

Good Hunt and Nice Finds big like from me👍

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching!!

[@connierose311]

Totally amazing Video

[@fuzzy1966buick]

Hi, I've been enjoying your videos. This one in particular made me want comment on the "shiny" object. If it looked out of place, it could have been dropped by a crow, they notoriously like to pick up "shiny" stuff and then drop it in flight.?????? Keep up with the adventures.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, I love that theory! That could very well be!

[@DonaldRogersBaldEagle]

Hey this is the place to dig every signal - go back again soon. :-)

[@Janhyooz]

Hi Brad, Just came across your channel, great video, mate, beautiful scenery with some really nice finds, well done, all the best, GL&HH form UK, Ian. BTW just subbed you as well.

[@GMMD]

Awesome thanks so much for the kind words and sub, Ian! Thanks for watching!!

[@DetectoresRJ]

Show esse local hem, um dia só é pouco para caçar tudo ae , não é?

[@squatchthumper7537]

Interesting area. Have 2 permissions waiting on cold weather to hit. Very hot and covered in poison sumac now

[@GMMD]

Ugh Sumac is no joke!! Best to wait for sure, Thanks for watching!!

[@scottdanser7052]

Try CLR as a coin cleaner, it works well and won't damage the coin.

[@steveroush4147]

Alien to back button with galactic markings, yup proves that we have been visited by aliens who were taylors'.... lol

[@GMMD]

Haha Alien tailors, sounds plausible!

[@maverickhockey48]

Great finds!

[@GMMD]

Thanks Gavin!

[@salvationbordercountry3800]

Pretty cool, but that pre 1700 coin just blows my mind! Was that captured on film? If so I can't wait to see it. But if not, thanks for mentioning and showing it.9-15-20

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

enjoyed the video thumbs up

[@dirthawk2669]

Nice variety of finds Brad , really enjoy your vids ! HH Dirt Hawk !

[@GMMD]

Thanks again, Mr Hawk!!

[@Daviousss]

11:55 coloniel fidget spinner?!!?!!?!!

[@billsellman6675]

Brad someday you need to get Hans from Terragermania and do a hunt together.

[@GMMD]

Sounds like a blast, Bill!

[@hm2mahoney]

That was an awesome hunt what a great area with a lot of history it would be nice to know more about the people that live in that area the village doctor?

[@GMMD]

I agree, I would LOVE to know the story behind this building and why they lost SO many buttons haha! Thanks for watching!!

[@danbooger1]

your friend needs to angle his coil more to the ground you know as well as everyone else he will get more finds . good job tho nice finds .. I have family in hyde park they live on heath rd always wanted to see if anything was there in the past

[@babyrazor6887]

You ever consider trying a dowsing rod..it works for me. I even dowse a printed out Bing map of the place I'm going to..get a rough idea then dowse the maps location when I get there. After I've done the dowsing spots then I hit the general surrounding area. Is sort of a tricky thing dowsing..treat the rod like you would a dog. "where's the ball go get the ball" sort of thing. Just hold out that rod and ask it "were's the silver" or what ever your looking for. I'm 70 now and still detecting and I wouldn't BS ya about hunting.

[@gordongraham31]

babyrazor .

[@sherricarr6127]

Is it harmful to place coins in a salt and baking soda solution to remove the crud? It is the way I clean them.

[@GMMD]

Not sure, never tried!

[@jonhicks7546]

Excellent .

[@JP-sf4pp]

Great channel, dude!

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot Jack!

[@garycarter961]

how you getting that guitar sound at 2:35? what effect you using or is that the guitar itself or both?

[@GMMD]

Just a slide guitar!

[@garycarter961]

@@GMMD I thought maybe so but you can get so many effect these days I was wondering. Guess you're using a glass slide too? Would love to see more band excerpts worked into your videos. In fact, that'd be funny to see an intro of some gorgeous scenery, the music fades in, the camera pans and THERE YOU ARE jamming! LOL. Guess that would take too much to set up but would still be amusing. Good luck on your digs!

Hey, Steve! A couple of awesome dudes about 4 hours north of me in the North East Kingdom of Vermont. "Green Mountain" is a popular name for a lot of things in Vermont, Green Mountain Coffee, Green Mountain Power, just a little parallel thinking between the two of us! Hoping to hookup for a dig sometime in the future!

[@hooper4581]

Yo brad. Outstanding video once again pal. Jeez dem mountains are a real beaut .as always a pleasure to watch thanks for your time and effort ! Side note. Do you have an email contact. Interested in your leather work. Thanks
