This channel should be a school a requirement on historical studies, thanks Brad you make learning fun !!

[@KorbinX]

Hey Brad! I've been watching your channel for a year or so now and I really love what you do. I got my mom into your channel and she just surprised me with a GMMD Keychain! I love that you signed it yourself, and made a quality product. I appreciate everything you do! She is so hooked that she bought her first metal detector! So glad to see you continue awesome work. I'm really tickled to death when she suprised me with it today! Again, thank you for creating such beautiful work. I hope that you and your family are safe in these turbulent time.

As someone who had lead poisoning for over 2 years without knowing it (from historic home renovations), being very sick most of that time, then taking several years to recover, i have anxiety watching someone handle pure lead 😳 To think they handled that stuff, breathed it in while working with it....I can't even imagine how sick our ancestors were and didn't realize it was the lead!

[@kellyhawes8901]

Always cool finds. Friday morning coffee and GMMD are a great way to start the day.

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

I agree

[@aurinslady7119]

It's how I know it's the start of my weekend!

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

@@aurinslady7119 I watch a lot of KZbin but I tell you Brad's videos are definitely my favorite there's just something about the way he makes his videos I I just think he's great. But I do worry about him LOL

[@aurinslady7119]

@@Brenda-qm4sy I totally agree. He just has an easy, laid back way and mad skills with videography. I've been watching him for a long time.

Missed you Brad. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing them. Good luck on great finds.

[@MikeMcInroe]

Thanks Brad for saying your name right up front. And for showing us a picture of someone actually wearing a knee buckle. Those little pictures really help us see how they were used back in the day! Another excellent video and thanks! Mike in sunny Florida

Great digs! Pretty country!! Stay safe! 😁😁😘

Nice! Thanks for taking us on another great adventure!

Awesome finds. Greetings to you and your family and of course the great Eddy. All be well and safe. Chuck in NJ

[@donnaj.1634]

I didn’t care much for history class in school. They should teach It differently and ignite the students imagination. Your videos are a history lesson and fun and exciting. I am not saying take students metal detecting. Maybe invite a guy like you to their class and let you show them some history. Thank you for all of your work and these amazing videos. Oh by the way I am watching so closely that I am waving the flies away. 🤓

[@buckrockerm]

Donna Jean I am a retired teacher and I have done that but used the detector to illustrate science principles

[@gregorybarr6112]

I totally agree! Brad is not out there just to find treasure, he is there because he loves to bring history to life!👍

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

I’m the oddball. I love early American history, with a passion for the history of Oregon where I’m from.

[@chrisackerley1842]

Thanks, Brad. It doesn't matter that you didn't find anything of great value. That's not the point. It's nice when you make some fantastic find, but the real point is you showing off the history and the beauty of the gorgeous State you live in. Keep up the good work! Your videos are one of the high points of my week!

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety]

a nice haul there☺ enjoyed, thanks for sharing sir👍

[@rialobran]

This place shouted gentleman's hunting retreat. Quite common in the UK to find a building in a remote area used as such. Lost shoe buckles, lead for making balls, buttons, horse tack and axes. Aside from some spoons nothing 'homely' or feminine.

[@Objective-Observer]

I was going to suggest a Transitory 'situation.' With everything, except the axes, those items would fit in with a Church or meeting house, as well. Perhaps the axes were needed to build the structure. Your suggestions better fits the location.

[@chevychase3103]

I thought the owners had a dog that had a fancy for shiny buckles!

[@melodeelines8575]

Lead, different shoe buckles and a lot of different buttons. Regrettably it appears good men died here. No doubt it could have been an unrecorded lodge, a meeting place for people dedicated to the crown or American milita. My wife came up with this hypothesis and I added a few guesses. In respect for the possibilities that lie within.

[@jaybales3160]

Congratulations Brad on the excellent discoveries. Saving history one artifact at a time. Surprised there were no coins. Looking forward to your next next hunt for artifacts and treasure.

[@memorylaine]

Imagination is key in all our adventures! Buzzarrrrrr..... Haha new one. Absolutely enjoyed today's video! As always, fan addicted!

[@nansea9691]

Hi Brad!!! I think you have been selected to be the "steward" of the Croatal or Jingle Bells and shoe buckles, maybe even the axheads!!! You always seem to find one or all each time you are in your Vermont woods!! And... You are just as happy about it each time!! 🤗😊😊

[@silentmandan1392]

Great hunt! Awesome Colonial shoe buckles and buttons!

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Brad, wow 4 shoe buckles that is awesome, I'm agree that they could well have been either shoemakers or buckle makers perhaps ??. Some great finds on this trip, congrats. Thank you for sharing, much love to you and your family. xx💖

[@robertslusser6753]

I saw this on Facebook about 2:30 PM today but I'm going to wait until later this evening to watch it. Your video's are like sitting down with a good book and a cup of coffee, something to anticipate and appreciate.

[@rysacroft]

Hi Brad, another great video. When you were talking about bears and various critters it reminded me of something which I hope you'll all find amusing. While exploring an old temple in Jordan my (ex) wife was about 5 yards behind me. I suddenly heard hissing. For some stupid reason I thought "sounds like a gas leak". (not many snakes in the the UK). I looked down and there was a snake which disappeared between some rocks. I turned to my (ex) wife and said "snake". We hadn't been married very long and I didn't know that she was paranoid about snakes. Two seconds later she was about 100 yards away, there was also some screaming involved. I bet she broke all Olympic records on that dash :) I love your channel but you should travel to Europe one day and find much older artefacts.

[@marthariddlegarcia2991]

My weekend can commence on a good note as I've watched another wonderful GMMD Brad Martin video 😃 More awesome finds with some of your favorite items found; shoe buckles 👍 Thank you for making you treks into the mountains and enduring those horrible black flies; you cheer many of us up every week 🤗

Only a true Vermonter can chuckle about being chewed alive by the dreaded Black Fly. LOL. Excellent video as always Brad. Love your Drone footage. Thanks 👍🙏✌️

[@mikerobbins5049]

I love your excitement for all your finds and love hearing information that you have about them.

[@old5andimer713]

Hey Brad, Thanks for another great day in the Vermont woodlands hunting for artifacts .. I previously commented about living on the Mosquito Coast in Florida and how relentless the mosquitos are here .. Having moved from Northwestern Vermont to the "mosquito coast," ... After watching your wonderful video today with you swatting at the clustering Black Flies, I'll quietly admit that my memory failed me when comparing the Vermont Black Fly season to our Mosquito season .. Vermonts Black Fly season wins, hands down!

Black Flies...the blight of the North Country... Buckles.....very cool.

[@daleneff89]

[@johnbarnett189]

Could be a Colonial Hunt Camp. I would think even in the 1700's guys would leave Town or Cities or Farms to go out hunting with friends and neighbors and have a place to stay if they were hunting for days or a week. Even back then needed some relaxing time and drink! Great cache of buckles and buttons! Great Job Brad !!

[@joelbeckley2107]

Great finds!! Just PM. you, hope to gear up & hit the vack woods on the family land again. SUCKS we missed one another last summer!!!!! Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@mourningdove4040]

Really like a new intro thanks again for another great video!

[@frankmonroe8320]

Hi Brad. Great vid. I just wanted to say That 50 something years ago my buddies and I got into digging through old cellar holes in our area. Most were abandoned in the 1800s and early 19s. We never found gold, coins or jewels which is what we were looking for. We did find loads of belts, buckles, rotted clothing and especially old shoes. Throughout my life I've been around a lot of old farms and property that had history. All the barns had a spot with old coveralls boots and shoes tossed in a corner or hung on a nail. It's still that way. keep up the good work. Take care. Frank in Mass.

[@debbieobryan8734]

Thankyou, that was brilliant always look forward to your videos. It is amazing the different stories you could create just from metal pickings.

[@user-ey9bt7fs6n]

A nice group of finds! It's neat that you found 4 shoe buckle's!

[@bobalmendinger4930]

You found the "Vermont Mountain Top Dance Hall", real popular back in the 1790's, kind of faded out in the 1820's . Once a week that would also have axe throwing contests. 🤗 uh huh , that's how I heard it 😉.....

[@cheycasters]

hahahaa...I hear it a little different too!!

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice job Brad!!

[@noneofyourbusiness9369]

I don't know if anyone mentioned but yes Vicks Vapor rub does help keep some of the bugs away. I also use a cup of vinegar with two cups of water and d a 1/4 teaspoon of dish soap in a spray bottle while I walk to spray on myself it helps too with biting flies. We love your channel wonderful videoghraphy and the history you give behind each find.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

That was a great day to "buckle" down and learn the XP!

[@raindropsfukushemiaflavore9914]

[@milliesimbeck7108]

Thanks for the great video and all the history Lessons. I wish I had enjoyed history as much when I was in school. Lol

[@jeffdaniel8488]

Wow! So many buckles at one sight. Nice! I sure wish I could joint you. I love going out but never know where to look.

[@IngridCattley]

You need an Aussie cork hat. In Australia in the 19th and early 20th centuries, people in rural areas wore broad brimmed hats with corks suspended from the brim which moved slightly as people walked and were very effective at keeping bugs away. These are rarely worn today except as costumes.

[@AXL1962]

[@frankforrest1597]

Brad, awesome finds. I guess the site may have belonged to a cobbler or a shoe buckle Smith? I feel your frustrations with the black flies, tiss the season, got a place in the central Adirondacks of New York. I enjoy the history that you add to your videos, it gives a better understanding of a bygone era. Dirty hands are happy hands 😉👍

[@raewynrush6754]

I really enjoyed your video, I live in New Zealand and we haven't the history you have. Keep digging for that cellar.

[@MrCatfarmer]

I grew up on my grandfathers dairy farm in Stanford Vermont. It was located at the top of Sumner road. My uncles always told me grandpa hated banks and would bury his silver dollars inside lead pipes around the farm but no one ever knew where or ever found any. I now live on my farm in central Illinois. Last time I was there, 1990, there was nothing left but the foundations of the house, barn and saw mill. When I look at satellite pictures it all looks different now. My grandfather was Eugene Sumner. He was the county sheriff, the county game warden and the county road commissioner during his life there.
