*FYI:* If you are in an area where bugs/mosquitos are annoying, let me share a truly helpful insect-repellant that surprisingly few know about. I discovered this some few years ago through my own logic/deduction. *Vicks Salve or a Generic Brand" I loathe the chemical sprays and this stays on even when I "glisten" (Ladies don't sweat in the South you see, we "glisten") 😁 I also use Oils and Incents with (Essential Oils) Tea Tree Oil, Lemon Oil, and Peppermint Oil. ...and I wear loose long sleeve work shirts, the more worn the better, they are cooler. Just noticed all the guys swatting the pests and wanted to give ya a heads-up on this little helpful "know". Enjoy!

I found myself smiling during this whole awesome video.

[@marnaehrech1223]

Me too! Always!

[@802OutdoorAdventures]

That was a really fun day. Thanks to Brad and Eddie for joining us and making this great video.

[@ohioriverrockhunter6448]

[@janeprather8594]

You and Eddie look like you were having so much fun! Love it when you both do videos together! Waiting till next Friday!

[@joebrown1382]

I tell ya a guy could get hooked on panning. Nice pieces guys.

[@RibbitHopX]

Oh, wow, garnets are my favorite.How fun!

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Great to see you and Eddie having such a good time -- lots of smiles all around! Nice drone work too in the midst of the trees!

[@rebeccas8895]

Thanks for another great video!!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Gold and garnets...how awesome! You can get enough together to make some lovely jewelry! Great video, guys!😊💖

[@60EFFIE]

Dig that intro! And garnets and gold! Thanks!

[@dannyfeeney318]

It is always exciting to find some gold in the pan, my condolences to you on loosing your garnet.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Gold and garnets!! That was a fun time for you both! Thank goodness it was only your lens cap that you lost ☺ That group was very cool to invite you 2 out to look for gold 😃 and to top it off; I see a Stealth Diggers t-shirt worn by one of the guys. Two of my favorite channels; yours is 1st and Stealth Diggers/Not Thursday is 2nd 👍 We all like receiving rain, just not while we're out enjoying some gold panning/metal detecting 😂 Have a great weekend!!

[@dadams9158]

Great fun video. Thanks for allowing us into your adventures. You were both smiling like little kids. Somewhere around 8:00 to 8:10 your smile looked like your son's big bright smile.

[@vickiparrish3235]

I panned in Alaska for years and it NEVER got old finding gold. Or any precious metals and stones. Garnets, platinum, silver, & many others. Enjoyed your excitement over finding them too.

[@farmerlovejoys3564]

I know Scott. Glad to see he is still into it. I'm so happy to have randomly stumbled on this channel.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Enjoyed watching. Nice size gold you were all finding. The garnets were beautiful and nice that the Mercury was being found and removed. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice job boys!!! I was chilly just watching, I’ve been in streams in Vermont, very cold🥶

[@diggerdame4709]

Nice Stealth Diggers tee-shirt!!! LFOD! 😁

[@Laura-vv6cf]

I agree!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I mentioned that in my comment ☺

[@DavidJohnson-bl9yy]

Prospecting and mining are a critical right. Thanks for doing your part.

[@jimarsenault394]

Excellent job on that intro riff you rock!

[@weedfreer]

Gosh Darn'it...I dropped my Garnet!!! 😅

[@conitorres9774]

Oh, that must have been fun, gold hunting and you find garnets. Wonderful finds.

[@MikeMcInroe]

Cold and wet but sooo much fun! Thanks for allowing us to come along and always enjoy your videos, Brad! Mike

[@zw5509]

Nice finds! Soon have enough gold to mount a beautiful garnet.

[@johnjacobs1625]

Cool video Brad. Thanks for taking us with you. Big thanks to Scott. Nice seeing Eddie, too!

[@nationalskyline]

I'm addicted to this channel! My husband got me a sluice for Christmas and I have gold fever in the middle of winter 🤣 Great production value on these videos!

[@mikekelly53]

Hey Brad, Cool new adventure panning for gold and garnets!! 👍👍👍 Way to go Eddie P...the Man, the Myth, the Legend!!👍👍👍

[@rickbeyor1]

Since I haven't been home in years it's really enjoyable to see the scenery brings back a lot of memories

[@sandyhansen]

Oh no. I felt bad for you and your garnet. Brought tears!! Dang it 💜

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Gold in Vermont! Go figure. Thanks for a cool video.

[@normasavitsky489]

Ah!!!!!!! So sad, Brad. You'll find more, don't give up. Hard Work! Got to give Scott, Rick, and Justin credit for all their Hard and Tireless Work in season and out of season. Especially for sharing with GMMD. PS Don't let Brad carry the loot he's been known to drop garnets. LOL! Loved it!

[@kennysherrill6542]

That looks like fun, haven't done that for a while, I need to dig out my old pans. I'm working on my Jeep so I can go out to the desert and do some exploring maybe find some gold. Love the video take care and tell us how the Turtle eggs are doing.👍❤

[@ericcrawford1132]

Surely one of the greatest 👌 channels on the tube.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Brad & Eddie, congratulations to you both, it looked like you had a great time amongst friends which is always a win and with the gold and garnets too that you both found it was a great day. Thank you for sharing. x

[@homesteadaquarius]

Gold and Garnets! 2 of my favorite things to find! This was a great trip!

[@raindropsfukushemiaflavore9914]

That was great. I love panning for gold. The Garnets are awesome too. What a great day minus the rain. Glad you got to do this. Love this video & thanks for sharing.

[@mikewachter55963]

Nice glad to see a pan in your hands a lot of your adventures I see streams in them I’d pan them streams. Just test pan spots than mark on gps and go back. Nice pickers for you and Eddie. Thank you

[@danafredrickson42]

that was so nice of him to bring you along and im sure you learned some things from him... thats a good guy. glad you had a great day!

[@davidwhite9045]

Garnets and gold that’s was so cool to bad you drop that one. Love the video

[@AurProspector]

Cool, I didn.t know there was much gold about Vermont. Nice to see you boys learning to pan.

[@PengesanLogam]

Great hunter in the mountain

[@giaatta9303]

Just discovered your channel. I love it. Binge watching now! Thanks !!

[@pigoff123]

Garnets are found along the Thames in London all the time.

[@normawinton6832]

Awesome! Looks like scotts in stealthdiggers too! Hi Scott!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for the awesome adventure and seeing some amazing stuff ! Take care , stay safe and healthy there in Vermont ! Doing well here in Kansas .

[@cathymorasch4164]

Nice little hauls, what fun!

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Well looks like a bunch of fun I enjoyed this video

[@Dave7heRave]

Hope to see more gold panning videos!

[@ronaldpetersen255]

Here in Alaska, if we can pick it out of the pan, we call those baby Nugs “pickers” and the bring a little bit more when you sell as many pieces of jewelry are made from them..... The fines and such are smelted down into ingots. Nice day on the Creek you guys had, good times👍. And thanks for sharing!!

[@joyceclark8476]

Hi Brad, Hi Eddie, I had to stop and think a minute when I saw the Stealth Diggers tee shirt. What am I watching. Lol Another great channel to watch with Not Thursday as well. Great bunch of guys. Right now , gold panning with with you two. Enjoyed the video like always Brad. Very interesting. Later, Joyce. ARROW *🎱 🇺🇸❤️

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

Love this buddy would love to have a go at this hope you are well buddy and some well nice bits of gold in the pan sending my brother mart over to check you guys out

[@chrisbudinick2691]

I’m digging Eddie’s Dr. Daniel Jackson Stargate outfit 😆😍💪

[@rondathiesen9317]

Great time, to bad you lost your garnet! God Bless guys n Happy digging!!😁😁😘

[@detectingrodsandreels2445]

scotts a good dude. we all gotta get together on the brook for some panning before the years out

[@kayliekatona3607]

I love this so much! Takes me homeee!!!

[@RandyLunn]

Awesome video. Very exciting. In the early 1970’s I panned gold near the headwaters of the Connecticut River near the Connecticut Lakes in New Hampshire. Hard work but thrilling.

[@tracybranham8648]

Wow! I would love to try what you guys are doing! NICE FINDS!!

[@dennisgrzenia4076]

Great video as always! Definitely something on my bucket list to go find some “ wild” gold of my own.

[@oregonjay3609]

Thank you, I am a gold miner since a small child who has no one to go out with and mine now..... So enjoyed this video, it was almost like being there. now I am tired lol

[@douglassmith5414]

Nice video, I guess you and Eddie will be carrying gold pans in your packs now. I'm thinking you'll always remember that lost garnet as the "Darn It - Garnet".

[@stephen12264]

These guy's must be really nice guys to allow you to dig there spot. Not a lot of people would even consider it. It's good to see.

[@terryfoster779]

Lost that garnet. Darn it. There is no cure for gold fever.

[@dabprod]

You took the words right out of my mouth.

[@stormygcannon1229]

Good luck. Have fun and enjoy the adventure. What l always told my kids.

[@lisasmith7854]

You guys got lucky. Nice finds. Make some jewelry for your ladies with those garnets. I found a little stream in my neck of the woods, I'm gonna go fill my bucket and bring it home and pan it yes I got the fever. Darn you guys 😉 can't wait for next video.

[@mourningdove4040]

Loved the new intro!!

[@mikemorgan4412]

People have found gold in Home Depot bags of sand. Not the play sand but the other bags they sell for mixing with concrete. You guys looked like you had a really good time. Have a good week and stay safe.

[@cheycasters]

Sweet Boyz!! I'd be see if I could rent one of those small gas powered dredges and set a sluice box !

[@normasavitsky489]

They need a backhoe and dredger. Go Deep. Wishing them much gold for all the effort.

[@claudechicoine6600]

Can’t use those in Vermont. You can use a regular sluice but you need a permit.

[@76guzzi78]

What awesome countryside....g'day from Perth, Western Australia

[@kellyhawes8901]

Great time in the streams of Vt. Can you imagine the larger pieces they used to pull out?

[@StefDigs]

I do believe I see one of my SDN FOTW winners in this video... Hi, Scott!

[@steveclark4291]

Congratulations Eddie on the gold flake !

[@marksexton4860]

Awsome fun isn't it especially in the summer when it's hot I enjoy that alot congrats to you both and good luck

[@debbieobryan8734]

That was excìting. Thankyou.

[@iamrichrocker]

your eye for the nature shots is great...editing...great job..surely has to be time consuming...

[@tonyhemingway7980]

When you lost your garnet, it reminded me of Gollum, when he lost the ring. Preciousss.

[@jgrayblesser]

Keep your eyes pealed for amethyst, and many other crystals. Jet, tormaline, rutilated quartz! I can't wait for warmer weather to get back to rockhounding here in Vermont.

[@DirtyWaterDigger]

I would have been stoked with one little speck...nice job

[@susanjones2701]

Nice!

[@timothycloney1453]

I know that spot well and that group of guys! Great spot and great fellas! I’ve pulled a lot of gold out of there myself! Well done.

[@ABeautifulHeartBeat]

I'm about to drive up there right now!

[@ashenskywalker5537]

ABeautifulHeartBeat where is this spot

[@candice7594]

I love your videos, keep em' up.

[@gordonmccall5263]

My parents took us to Colorado when I was a kid and we did some casual gold panning at Cripple Creek. I haven't done any panning since but 45 year later, I still have gold fever.

[@ptaylor4923]

The shot with the gold on your finger is impressive. Dang, you guys look cold.

[@paulwhillas6494]

One thing about Australia is the amount of large pieces of gold still easily detected with modern detectors and the variety and accessiblity of gem stones.My brother does a well researched expedition most years. He has found three large nuggets which he made into pendants for his wife and two girls .Each was worth a few thousand dollars. All were quite thin but about an inch in diameter One resembled the shape of Australia. Another was like a New Zealand Kiwi. He mounted a garnet as an eye .The larger stones he finds he has cut in Australia, but the dozens of smaller ones he sends to Asia to be cut. They cover the cost of extended vacations, provide a bit of extra income, and some nice gifts. He was going to take his wife on her first trip this year but Covid stopped them travelling. Garnets are among my favourite gems and come in a variety of colours.

[@danieldeanmasterfinisher4715]

Very nice guys!

[@dwightpickens2895]

Cool I didn't know that you were able to get Garnett's in Vermont

[@royal4463]

always wanted to try that panning for gold. my father had a friend who did it up in the northeast kingdom who did ok panning, sadly he's gone now. congrats on your finds one other thing....absolutely love the intro music!!!!!!

[@tattoofthesun]

Yeah man! Nova Scotia has decent gold deposits. Definitely a lot of gold there

[@michaellyons9416]

Digging the new intro music

[@kimberlyclark4508]

Looked like you were having a blast!! Did you try the Vicks vapo for the black flies? It works great for mosquitos!! Enjoyed seeing Eddie, love the hair Eddie cool and clean!! Much love y'all.

[@joelbeckley2107]

Awesome!

[@daleparker4207]

That looked fun.

[@billstrohmyer8251]

pretty cool video thanks for sharing

[@kenarnold9132]

We've got old abandoned Garnet mines here in the NC mountains. Historically, Garnet was mined to make sand paper. This practice went away with the introduction of Using aluminum oxide or silicon carbide. Sand and glass were also sometimes used. They come in different sizes, and can be regular old garnet, or gem quality.

[@keithjohnson6352]

HEY BRAD & EDDIE, GARNET'S GALORE - NICE GOLD PICKER.!!!! BLACK SAND IS THE PLACE TO FIND GOLD & GARNET'S.!!!!!!! NEXT - TIME YOU GO, TRY TO FIND YOU A CREVICE TO WORK ALONG THE WATER LINE.!!!!!!! YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED.!!!!!!!! WAY - TO GO.!!!!! GUY'S.!!!!!!!

[@sgtkyle3508]

Living in California, I'm always jealous of your awesome old coin finds and colonial relics. We just dont have that history here. But finally, I have you beat on something ;) lol. If you ever make it out west, let me know and I'll bring you to a place where you can detect for nuggets all day and pull pans full of color almost every one! Finding over a gram in a day here in gold country is easy and typical. Great video though brother! Keep it up ;)

[@AkangAvinJawaBarat]

Like good friend👍🏻

[@steveclark4291]

Love the intro music !

[@seahawksfan7298]

Gold panning is so fun!

[@brennanjones5502]

Loving your videos man!!
