Massive Boulder Leads Treasure Hunter to Find Curious Golden Coin

[@axesort9070]

I just don't understand why anyone would give you a thumbs down on any of your videos. They are all so great

[@trippingonrocks1165]

I like how you take your time and explain your finds so well. What an awesome hunt, well done. Thank you 👍🏼

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear that!

[@ShellyAnn1a]

Love the way you put in clips and stills of the natural world, like the feather on the leaf or the little inch worm on the log. It makes your videos more interesting, than just going from one find to the next digging holes in the ground. Please keep this style and keep the videos coming, I now have to enjoy the outdoors vicariously through videos like yours. Thank you for sharing.

[@billoliver2251]

Really love your vids Brad. You have a calm demeanor that makes your vids pleasing to watch. I don't care for people yelling at me no matter how excited they seem to be. You convey a lot of knowledge about your area and I enjoy your incite.

[@Steve-Pitt]

It's always great to wake up to a Friday morning but even better with a new episode of GMMD!

[@millyakins807]

[@Steve-Pitt]

@@flthunderdigginwrob3162 Sounds like us! Except we have to wait until Saturday morning :-)

[@cdoggyish]

It's always great to wake up.

[@jonathanstanley2531]

Fantastic finds. My Friday’s are not complete until I watch GMMD. Thanks so much!

[@davidleearney3090]

agree nice morimg starter

[@phillipyannone3195]

Great finds today. Over all you have the best metal detecting channel on KZbin.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Phillip!

note even remotely close lol beau is 10x more enjoyable to watch.. this was a cringe fest

[@blkcat1254]

@@GMMD Hi from Canada. The shoe buckles that you find may not be bent,look at your foot and notice that the bone is high on one side and not on the other, left and right buckles.the one in the vid is for the right foot.

[@mariamjehn7071]

I love this channel..he doesn't scream and carry on verbally...every time he gets a good find..he is just so knowledgeable and the videos are beautiful!!?

[@mountain_girl]

I miss Vermont and I think the youtube algorithm know that. lolz. I'll never look at old homesteads and cellar holes the same way after seeing some of your content. Love the music too. ☮

[@dgc940]

I just came across your channel two three weeks ago and just wanted to let you know that I really like it! Its your personality and attitude that lends to the channel not to mention your video and editing skills are very good too.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

You found a bean pot hanger, whole! How cool is that? Beautiful buckles, I really am impressed with the repaired one. I love the buttons, too! And a counterfeit coin! They probably tossed it, when they realized it was fake! Awesome video, as always, Brad!

[@hercule1610]

Awesome finds! Maybe in the winter you could do a video of your wall and some of the coolest things you’ve found over the years.

[@zw5509]

You are the proud owner of a fireplace crane! A pot hanger for over the fire. Great finds. You can see someone using a piece of a silver coin to repair that shoe buckle. It was much more valuable than the coin and who would notice the nibble of the edge of the coin? Enjoy the videos and exactly right about those darn Deer Tick!

[@havardmoen6423]

I could watch this all day. Pity one has to work. Keep it up!

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear it!!

[@whaleyoutdoors9537]

Only took me 3 years to find your videos and I love them! I'm commenting on the little spade piece with the hole in it that you found. I believe it could be what I call a "disposable stake" us trappers use them to stake down a trap with a peice of wire. You attach it to the trap, drive that device in the ground with a rod, and when an animal is caught and pulls, that device turns sideways in the ground and it won't pull up. The ones I use are much more simple and modern. This one looks old and awesome (guessing mid/late 1800s). But I'm a 95% sure on this. Good luck on future detecting, keep up the great videos!

[@dadams9158]

Great tune 7:35 ish. One I associate as the gmmd signature tune. I know when I hear it something intresting is about to happen. Love the finds, the scenery, the music, the history and the excitement your channel evokes.

[@gregusmc2868]

New subscriber here and I just wanted to thank you for all the work you do posting these videos up for us guys and gals who can’t get out there and hunt anymore. You do a great job! My first find was with a 25 dollar Radio Shack detector and it was a 1945 Walking Liberty half dollar. I was hooked. I hunted with a Fisher CZ-6 detector back in the 80’s and 90’s until old military injuries caught up with me and made it too difficult to get out there anymore. Anyway, I’m in Ohio so we don’t have much colonial era stuff but I have good friends in Montpellier, VT and whenever I am out there I always wished I could still get out there because that’s where the old stuff is! Anyway, thanks for taking us along on your adventures. You’re good enough to have your own TV show brother! Stay safe, happy hunting, and best regards to you and your family. Keep your powder dry! Semper Fi.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Greg!

[@waltergolston6187]

As my Grand Father would say the Jay feather was a Spirit gift to be gathered and given a thank you . Such things are rare and a portent of good.

[@stephk5797]

I adore you and your videos Brad and I've watched pretty much every single one - whenever I see an upload I can't help but grin and whenever I hear the theme music just a massive wave of peace flows over me, no matter what is happening in my life - thank you so much

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Steph!

[@stephk5797]

Yaaay! *incoherent fangirling*

[@monkcheetah8203]

Nice finds yet again. Liked the shot of the blue Jay feather 🐦

[@larrylakey1331]

Great program Brad, your country and mountains tell such a wonderful story of the life and people. I think some of your adventures would be great. But it is such a joy at age 83 to still see and do through your eyes. Keep it up sir, and God bless you.

[@riverbender9898]

I've been detecting since I bought my first Whites new in '73. I really like your style and attention to (and respect for) the precious artifacts of our forebears. Thank You.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

It amazes me that the scam artists were busy being deceitful even in the early days of the colonies. I love every video that you make. You don't just hunt history out; you give us the beauty of where you're at and as much backstory as you've got available. This is why I love your channel. And as usual; you always tend tio find some great items to show I us. My favorite in this video was the ram rod guide, it was a beautiful piece. Have a great week Brad ☺👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Again a great time shared here. Thanks for doing that and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.

[@Bell2trac]

Again a wonderful tour of the mountains laced with fabulous finds! Love the counterfeit, it always a puzzle when we find one and a mixed feeling, while we would like to find the original we take comfort in knowing the counterfeit is even more scarce!

[@rodevans602]

As a kid here in Australia 60 years ago I had two of those half guinea tokens in my coin collection. Same date, 1797. They were brass, but not (as I remember) gilded. They were known as Gaming Tokens, presumably used in some kind of gambling game.......?? Love your videos and look forward to them every week! Best.... Rod.

[@toulds]

Yes, it's a spade Guinea token. They are quite common finds on the fields in The UK. Cool to see one come up in The US.

[@spartanumismatics8165]

Yep definitely a token. Made out of bronze. Georgian. Not a counterfeit. I have several. Fairly common

[@patrickbush9526]

Wow great find

Hi there, Down-under; you all have great things to see down there, ever consider doing videos of the bush country around where you live? Or exploring the region and recording it then posting it here? I would enjoy it, there might be others around the world who would also enjoy it. Again Hi from the Pacific Northwest on the Oregon coast.

[@flthunderdigginwrob3162]

Well Brad, another OUTSTANDING video. Love everything about them!!! Now, your videos are about, oh, 1000 times better than mine-but one teeny observational idea-when you were describing that shoe buckle and called it a chape, maybe show a quick picture of all the parts together with an old shoe, give us a better concept of the use of the item! LOVE that coin find!!! Your 2nd counterfeit coin!!!! Rob / Diggin' Florida w/ Rob!

[@merryparker1384]

I really enjoyed this video, the inch worm was a cute addition and the scenery was beautiful and the digs were exciting. I love going with you Brad on these exciting adventures. Bless you for sharing with me and others. Grandma from Ohio

[@mrblueskynm3968]

Wonderful hunt! Excellent colonial finds!

[@Beanieweenieable]

Thank you for always providing us with such and enjoyable story!

[@Mantreaus]

Another Fantastic Hunt. Worth going back a few times it seems. For the History side of it, I wonder if there were census or land claim records available at a local history museum. I have spent many hours going over old microfiche rolls searching old documents. Local Historic Societies have been very helpful. Who ever lived there may not have been wealthy by monetary means, but what you have found there has had a distinct sense of style and art form. The counterfeit coin itself has a story, but found where it was found someone lost twice. You're livin the life Mate. Congrats.

[@jengalloway4961]

Beautiful scenery, now on my list to visit. Great finds. I hope you got out of there before the storm. Thanks for sharing.

[@katiekoehlmoos6472]

Super neat finds! Always a pleasure. Thanks, Brad!

[@jaybales3160]

Excellent hunt. Very nice discoveries, congratulations. I also hope the person who lost the gold plated coin was not scammed. Very interesting finds. See you on your next hunt for relics.

[@wadehendryx7378]

Real nice to wake up to one of your videos here on the west coast. Wish we had the older history that you have. Love it.

[@terrystover7365]

I always wait for your videos, they are great. Each one seems to outdo the previous. Not a bummer in the bunch and they relax me with the beautiful scenery and your narration. What great finds which is the very basis for the video in the first place. All the rest is the plus that makes them so good to watch.

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear that, Terry! Thanks for watching!

[@franciehansell1862]

Love watching your films. Xxx

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

At last I can make a contribution! (Well, maybe.) That little clip-like thing at 20:05 very much resembles the kinds of hooks that women used to close a skirt at the waist with, usually paired with a small square or rectangular bar-loop attached to the other end of the garment's opening; considering the weight of the cloth, they had to be very sturdy and were usually removed from an article of clothing when it became too badly worn to be useful anymore. Their lifespan as a useful clothing accessory could last many, many decades, and you can find them in many cultures-- some of the old Anglo Saxon ones used to clasp the cuffs on a tunic or dress were pretty ornate. Modern clothing occasionally uses the modern version, a little squarish steel sliding tab-and bar fastener.

[@gregorybarr6112]

That’s the kind of video that I enjoy at 6 am... more than sleeping in! Thanks Brad for sharing it with us! I liked the shoe buckles, buttons, musket part and counterfeit half guinea.See you next Friday.

Beautiful shoe buckle frames and that counterfeit gold coin is unreal - hell of a day, Brad! I'd definitely be revisiting that site, especially after our Northeastern deep freeze.

[@brianmccarthy9514]

That is a thimble for a flintlock rifle. For the ramrod. That’s a beautiful find

[@jonaichs1976]

That is exactly what it is.....looks like a modern jaeger.

[@UserUser-ww2nj]

That first button looked like a miniature medieval shield , nice find. The one at 15:09 might have run on two parallel rails with them being offset as they are

[@ralphcossairt1476]

[@GMMD]

[@possumbuddy]

Great finds. Loved the inchworm not the tick though.

[@t.s.butler191]

A hooked handle beanpot piece! Kinda rare, I think, hard to find whole at markets. Hooked handles, (for hanging over a fire), is usually broken. I have my grammy's.

[@SemiErnie]

@@karentashua.14s13 ya just to pull a fast one over on someone that doesn't have much and for what a donkey ?? , the shoe buckle being welded should explain keep what you got . I'm always amazed on what he finds and run it through my head on how they lived . Wished I could go with him on one hunt

[@SemiErnie]

Just read another post that it was a gaming token , would they of known this . Maybe not , the wonders of the past
