Sir, lemme tell ya. I've been swinging one for 40 + years. Yours is prolly my top one or two channels to watch. Why? Adventure! I'm surrounded by miles of concrete & you get to hike into America's past! NOTHING cooler than that! The finds you make are of course awesome but the scenery and again, THE ADVENTURE in finding them is the cool part for me. I envy NO man but if I did... Well. You get the point! Love your vids & will keep watchin as long as you make em. Would LUV to know the tectors AND settings you're using too!! Thanks!!!

Your conversational style, attention to detail, focus on the beauty around you, and I imagine many many hours of editing really shows! I always go away after watching an episode inspired and somehow calmer and totally appreciate your dedication and effort!! Stellar work!

But the BEST thing is your humility and appreciation for the smallest find... and your love of Vermont History and Curiosity about Colonial life.

Oh Brad ! What a super find ! A piece of 8, ( 8 Reale coin) From the profile of the Spanish King, It looks to be Carlos III. The Pillars of Hercules, the old and new world, as well as, the Mexico City Mint Mark are clearly visible on the reverse of the coin. From the oldest Mint in North America ! A bucket lister and a half ! A good United States One Dollar Type Set Collection of Silver Dollars, In my opinion, should Always begin with the Spanish 8 Reale and end with the most modern One Dollar Coin of today ! The person who lost that coin, lost some major purchasing power in their life ! Congratulations Brad and thank you for sharing that wonderful bucket list find my friend :-))

I love your channel! I love the nature shots. I love your down home manner! BUT most of all I love your unique historical finds! I'm wondering if that one item is the short hand of a clock. Maybe grandfather clock. The Spanish 8 reale (sp?) is awesome! And your other finds were incredible including the big shoe buckle. You seek in a fruitful area basically untouched by metal detecting peeps. Of a time long ago in America. More, more I say. And try to video a full acceptable time span like this one. I never grow bored! I hope you read our comments.

Brad, HUGE congrats on the find of a lifetime! VERY happy for you! Sometimes the larger a high conductive target is the the worse the tone sounds. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but I've ran some tests on different metals before and have had that result. Sometimes big silver is a large, crappy, thunky sound. Especially if the angle is weird. Have you been able to tell if it's authentic yet? Even if it's an old counterfeit, it's just as historic. Sometimes the old counterfeits are actually worth more that the real ones. (at least when it comes to some of the early US coins) A long time ago I sold a counterfeit seated dime for about $50 when the real coin would have been worth about half (it wasn't a detecting find or I would have kept it)

Hi, congratulations on your excellent silver find, really impressive. Your other finds are very similar to many finds that we have here in England, ie engraved tombac buttons, worn coppers, buckles, but that silver is a rare and really top class find. Your two pin buckle would date around 1720 to 1790 and is similar to a couple that I have found in the North of England. Really enjoyed this video, all the best, GL&HH, Ian.

Hi Ethan, right there, my friend, I have had quite a few Dutch, French and German coins from the 15th to 17th century though nothing of the quality and size of your amazing find. A few years ago I did get a cut quarter of a Spanish silver coin dating around 15th to 16th century but in very poor condition. Most 18th century finds though have been English or Scottish coins.

Hey! Those are oyster mushrooms on that log Brad.I know you're not into mushroom collecting but those are delicious. Cant believe how old the stuff is you're finding.Lucky to pull an Indian head in California.That Spanish coin is unbelievable! Wonder why it only rung 79? Anyway still Smokey as hell here Firefighters by the bajillions have descended into my little valley of Potter Valley and it's great to see them! Cant hardly describe the feeling but it makes one emotional. Anyway those mushrooms looked fresh so if you hurry ya might get them before the worms do! Terrance

So Brad I hate to ask this but ,..if you were to sell that coin would it be worth very much? I'm sure you've taken the time to check into that...?Just for your own knowledge.I know I would, tho I would never sell it. I'm sure you share the same sentiment.I understand that coins that come out of the ground are graded and scrutinized much harder.Have you found that to be the case?

No worries Terrance! This particular coin has been floating around social media the last few days and it’s appearing as though it may be a period counterfeit created by the British sometime in the 1790’s, which would make it potentially more valuable than a normal Eight. Still waiting to hear back from some folks far more knowledgeable than I!

Excellent video, finds like those are why i like your channel the best. I always wonder how the heck Spanish silver made its way into the mountains of Vermont. That mystery item looks like a broken hand of a clock to me. I also enjoy how you address viewer comments in your videos, it shows you are interactive with your fans, and that makes me feel more connected with your videos. Great start to a friday once again.

Clive Warren Spanish silver was legal tender in the U.S for a long time even when we had our own currency. I believe it was usable until the Coinage Act of 1857.

Holy Cow! Congratulations! Glad to see it recovered by someone who appreciates it for what it is, not just what it's worth. A true treasure heirloom to be passed down thru the family, I assume. You gonna have to find a tea pot with Paul Revere's signature on the bottom to top that, in the silver category...lol. Hope you are feeling better, take care & good luck!
