Brad I've been detecting for just over 50 yrs., and , if I had just 1 wish, it would be to go on just one hunt with you, you are the most informed young man I wish i I could have ever met. In my 83 years I've met a few, but you're a keeper, keep up the great work

[@mohawksteel2215]

you found more gold than they have found on Oak Island in 7 years of searching

[@ronr.53400]

damnnn 😙

[@richardjones7078]

Lol

[@techtastic6019]

so true lol! i stopped watching that show last year. theres nothing there.

[@toveirenbecker2471]

Good point!

[@djroselli6310]

Brutal but hilariously true

[@chrismc8000]

150 years or so ago, Vermont was covered with sheep farms. All over the mountains stone walls were built instead of using fences for the sheep herds. Am 70 now, but as a child I remember my great uncle telling me that he remembered when many of the mountains of Vermont were void of trees.

[@curtnagy966]

I know this is an old video but still great. Beautiful finds and scenery, wish I could still hike back in the woods. Your camera work makes the videos all the more enjoyable. Congrats on the GOLD coin. Thanks

[@Edward.Rippett.]

Are you from New England? Let's go metal detecting! Haha

[@trishrobinson5828]

The finds are fantastic, but the nature shots bring me to tears. Blessings to you and yours.

[@ronr.53400]

sweeeeet , i agree of the natural scenery

[@BradLeeJokes]

Sweet vid Brad. Can’t wait for the next one. We are all sooooooooo lucky to have you!!! Cheers!

[@GMMD]

Awe shucks, thanks Brad!

[@salvationbordercountry3800]

What a beautiful find. I can't believe what perfect shape that gold coin is in. Is that going to be a family heirloom? Your coin collection must be incredible.

[@IanYGath]

The crest you found would be post 1603 when James VI of Scotland (heir to the throne of Elizabeth I of England) became James 1 of England uniting the two countries. The English crest was 2 lions and the Scottish crest 2 unicorns. Thus when the two kingdoms united the crest became a lion on one side of the crown and a unicorn on the other. In fact there is an old nursery rhyme entitled, “The Lion And The Unicorn Were Fighting For The Crown.”. Great video and congratulations on a truly amazing find. 😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mahalofreddy6772]

I just found your channel recently and I am suddenly obsessed! The gold piece is amazing! Congratulations! I love your musical accompaniment! I would really like to see some annual or semi-annual specials where you show your larger collections of items, all cleaned up and telling of the actual values of some of your best finds! Easy for me to say, I know but... Anyway, I love your vids and am enjoying them every night all the way from Japan! Keep up the great work! Peace-Out! ✨👑✨💍✨🥄✨🏆✨🥇✨🎖️✨🎺✨Good luck! Go for it! ✨

You guys are the "Real Deal"when it comes to metal decting. You dont just focus on playgrounds and city parks. You actually work hard for your finds!! Hats off to you both keep it up we love your videos..

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Tim!

[@mtak49]

That square flap that you found could be the pan on a animal spring-trap.

[@joebrown1382]

I think you're correct.

[@jimnorthland2903]

My thoughts also. Never seen a brass pan, but didn't trap in the 1700's either!

[@jimv.661]

Foothold trap pan was my first thought too

[@chadowens70]

Agreed

[@GMMD]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

This will definitely be a day to remember, both for you and Mike! His first colonial copper and your first gold! Woo hoo! Such a nice walk through some gorgeous countryside. Thanks so much!

That’s a huge bell!! Amazing find for sure. I just found my first one this past year in Maine but not as big. Could you show a brief clean up video of it and it’s design plz? I hope someday I run my coil over one that size and complete like that. Grats!!

[@thesilverman1875]

Great find with the Charles III 1/2 Escudo. Back in the day 16 Silver Reales = 1 Escudo. So, that was the equivalent to 8 Reales. I have the 1/2, 1 and 2 Charles III shields from Madrid. I'd love to finish the collection with a 4 and 8 escudos!

[@clivewarren780]

How amazing. I cant imagine metal detecting such a beautiful and bewitching place on halloween. The scenery reminds me of sleepy hollow type of stuff. Congrats on that gold coin good sir. I would soil myself if i found anything pre-1900s so i cant imagine the feeling of digging spanish silver. I also really wish i coulda heard that big bell ring for the first time in 250 years, assuming it still had the ball in it. Great video as always Brad.

[@GMMD]

Thanks Clive, it was a beautiful day, and the bell still rings!

[@fedupnow61859]

Was so excited to see you video up this morning. Highlight of my day. You make it so fun and interesting and the beauty of the Green mountains is to die for. That view from the top of the crest and overlooking the valley. Takes my breath away.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Mary, glad to hear you enjoyed it!!

[@OutdoorDon]

My favorite time to be in the woods but by Halloween I am on the deer hunter side of things. I live in the central Illinois flat prairie. I envy you having all the hills and valleys.

Dang dude congrats! Amazing gold coin way to go Brad!

[@paulmoreno5780]

All smiles here for you find!! Congratulations !!

[@8176morgan]

I like that 1901 (O) Barber dime that was found. Looks to be in pretty good condition, like about a VF, and I would say definitely worth at least $30-40 dollars, although not nearly as much as the 1786 Spanish Escudo which has an estimated value of around $250.00. Not too much was said about it at the time.

[@philcasavant8216]

you work you get paid !!! sweet finds today for both THANKS FOR TAKING US ALONG G M M D !!

[@fearthetruth974]

How was that ever a question?! Of course it’s gold.. I immediately noticed that.. there’s ONE THING that you’re gonna find like that ... and it’s GOOOOOOLD BROTHER!!

[@gregkerr725]

Congratulations! What an awesome and well deserved find of your first gold coin!

[@gemcollector8508]

Also, I was thinking, the area you found the gold coin that was dropped...I'm betting there's a trail of coins out there. If you spread out from that location you found the gold coin in the center, in a spiral pattern, you might find more. Maybe you'll be able to plot the direction of travel through the area by whoever dropped it.

[@ronr.53400]

brilliant 🙂

[@calvinh.8882]

I glanced and saw a notification from you, and I thought it was another TEASER!! Which I hate with EVERY fiber of my being!! lol.. I told you that you were going to find a gold coin, I may have been a couple of months early, but I knew your day was coming. CONGRATS!! I'd be back out in that area every day for the next month at least! lol.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Brad. I had to stop by to say a HUGE congrats on the coin that so many treasure hunters spend their life looking for! Also, I didn't read down in the comments, but on that pewter utensil handle it looks like an Egyptian ankh. Once again, HUGE congrats!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much JD, for the kind words and the ID!
