[@GMMD]

Thanks Willy, you as well!

[@manda7808]

Great video! I cleaned out a house left for 17 yrs from deceased woman. I found a few old coins similar to first big one. I bet it's so much more exciting finding them left in woods by the owner..looking forward to more vids!

[@GMMD]

Thanks a ton!

[@simhifree2416]

Beautiful forest location! Some interesting finds. Thanks for sharing.

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching!

[@larrysimmons7084]

Enjoyed as always. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Larry ~Dirt Nerds

[@GMMD]

Thanks! And to you as well!

[@kitsimmonds.344]

Great video as always!!! I always look forward to your uploads as even though I'm from the UK with a metallic history dating back 1000's of years I'm fascinated with early American history, in particular the Colonial Period & Civil War. The thought of setting out over the Atlantic to the unknown and starting a new life with the bare essential is extremely interesting to a history enthusiast and the Civil War was brutal. Hope you have a great Christmas and happy new year of exciting finds!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Enoch, merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

[@kingklad4244]

Great video as usual, fascinating from beginning to end, treasures and scenic views were excellent, thanks!

[@GMMD]

And thanks for the kind words, as usual!

Thanks for sharing your adventure, hunt and finds. I enjoyed watching as always. Take care.

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@katiekoehlmoos6472]

Once again, BEAUTIFUL scenery, great editing (raindrop hits mic in 2...1...!), perfect music, especially considering you composed and recorded it yourself(!), and fascinating finds! You have incredible luck!! 🍀🍀🍀 Thanks for bringing us along. Oh, and last thing, thank you for editing out whatever Mike's story was about the axe head!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Katie!!

[@tincuptimmetaldetecting9259]

Nice hunt guys. You still found some cool stuff in a place that's been hunted! Good job. GL & HH!

[@GMMD]

Thanks Tim!

[@Whocares.........]

I wish we had rich black soil here in So. Cal. Well done! Thanks for that! Rox

[@GMMD]

That's funny, I wish we had sunny 70deg days year round! Thanks Rox!

[@jerrydineen2827]

Another awesome hunt, always enjoy seeing your finds!

[@GMMD]

Thanks Jerry!

[@rhondawithington3682]

Thanks for the video as always lots of fun.

[@briankesterson4365]

Great hunt again! The pulley may be from an old clock.Thanks again for the adventure and fun,

[@GMMD]

Thanks for the suggestion Brian!

[@harrybond7459]

Way to big and crude for that I think.My father repaired clocks including floor models, and I never saw anything like that come out of one ,sorry.No I believe it is from a paddle grinding wheel.I have seen pulleys just like that on them, they held the drive belt.🙂

[@jaybales3160]

Excellent video, interesting and educational. Beautiful scenery and artifact discoveries. Very best of luck with your next treasure exploration.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Jay!

[@MrAussiedarren]

Great relic hunt Brad. that looks like a great site to revisit again and again. I had to laugh at Mike when he started pulling finds from everywhere, he looked like a xmas tree of relics lol. A very nice mix of artifacts. Thanks

[@GMMD]

Haha thanks, Mike surprised me too with all those relic pockets!

[@lessarten8486]

Nice find mate let's hear from Tasmania love detecting for the old stuff myself I found an 1877 shot penny big English copper don't get them very often mine was shot with a musket ball

Great vid

[@malyman24]

WOW Brad, very sweet finds, congrats man. Wishing you and Eddie and families a very MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.

[@GMMD]

Thanks you too!

[@uarbor70]

I find a lot of wheat pennies with holes shot through them usually in the early forties. makes me think the sons coming home on leave from the war showing off for their dad

[@bhwoodyard]

Past month my whole life has turned upside down!! It was a breath of fresh air to watch this video!! As always thanks again!!! The pulley looks like one from this antique clock I own, Ogee (sp?) it works with two large weights slowly going down activating the clock. Worth a look! Thanks again!

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the video Bryan, thanks for the suggestion!

[@RCBuildaholic001]

Thanks for taking us along Brad. I think the big round piece you found was for a window counterweight perhaps?

[@GMMD]

Thanks, I think you may be right!

[@terriwhipple4561]

I agree. I have an 1865 house and those are in my windows. ☺️

[@zipshed]

Wow you guys did great for one day. The shot pennies are awesome Ive never seen anyone find one before. Its kind of like somebodys antique bragging rights for being a dead eye....very cool!

[@GMMD]

Thanks! I've seen others find them but a first for me! So cool!

[@juanrendon8165]

Got to love those buttons 👍👍..

[@WootTootZoot]

That pulley reminds me of the parts of the return mechanism of a typewriter carriage. My very first job when I was in High School (1971) was cleaning typewriters.

[@CopperHeadsMetalDetecting]

Great video as always !

[@GMMD]

Thanks Friend!

[@davewhittington1368]

Good video. Thanks for sharing

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching, David!

[@perrykeitel7317]

nice place to detect thanks for sharing

[@reedsartofadventure]

Tom back is what it's made out off? Wow you do learn something everyday 👍😎👍

[@GMMD]

Haha yes, Tombac

[@bigglesworth5283]

Great Vid! Love that scenery! I've only found IHP's with buckshot hits so Wheats blown through like that are a great find. It's a stretch, but that pulley wheel thingy could be from a yarn spinning wheel. Keep up the great detecting. I'm terribly jealous! BIG THUMBS UP!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!!

[@jillybean9329]

ALWAYS enjoy your videos no matter what is found!! Squatch scratch, definitely squatch scratch 😆

[@GMMD]

Haha thanks, that's what I was thinking

[@MRJIMBERLY]

I recently found a "mystery pulley" similar to yours. At first, I thought it was an old yo-yo, but when I scraped more mud off, there was fishing line still attached. It was an old reel.

[@patrickwoods3353]

Nice hunting my friends some nice bits and pieces hh from ireland my friends to the next one 👍👍

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching, Patrick!

[@changarookitty6920]

At 3:05 the tiny brass thing I believe is a frame for a movable gauge or dial that would for example, on a calendar clock, frame a number in the center and then the two points would point to the day and month. The frame would be on a movable disc, and each day you would move it. Kind of like a perpetual calendar.... I took a photo of it and sent it to a friend to see if they can identify it. I'll let you know when I hear anything.... Nancy

[@donbuckholts8981]

Thanks

[@GMMD]

Thank YOU!

[@theyarddogs4100]

Nice video awesome place to hunt. Carl HH

[@GMMD]

Thanks Carl!

[@bige.3474]

Pennies used as targets. That's a pretty original idea. Awesome finds.

[@GMMD]

I agree! Thanks!

[@mcdigsbmore6531]

Congrats on the hunt. Found a similar basket weave last year in a Maryland farm field; it had most of the silver wash on the front.

[@GMMD]

Wow awesome!

[@RelicDirtyhands]

Awesome! Great video as always. HH Eric

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Eric!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

what a fun video. I wonder how close the person was that shot those pennies... I've seen people shoot at metal slugs as show off targets. LOL. But never pennies when I was a kid a penny could buy you a piece of stick candy or a couple pieces of bubble gum. Boy I'm really ageing myself... LOL... Looks like y'all had a good hunt for the short time y'all were there... Well thank for sharing this video with us out here in YT land... Be blessed.. BBE..

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Bobby!

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for sharing the beautiful woods once more. If they had bras in the 1850s I would have said the first item looked like the little buckles you get on bra staps, with a bit missing, but I think that they were still wearing liberty bodices & combinations & corsets & things of that ilk so maybe it is something that a little strap passed through that was to do with a hat or something like that as it is not robust enough to do with anything more sturdy such as horse tack. The only other thing I can think of is it could have been to take a strap on a leather book cover for a family Bible.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Hi, Brad, nice video as always! I believe the little buckle - shaped item could be a piece from a lady's garter. And the pulley looks like it's out of an old clock. I absolutely love the basket - weave button, that back mark is awesome! And the small lead object sure looks like part of a broach to me. That's my opinion, anyway! :-) Waiting for the next one!

[@karencrawford4068]

I coukdn t tell for sure about the back of that "broach". There was a spot to the right that looked like it had an opening in it. If so, it might have been worn on a chain or a small ribbon. Maybe as a necklace of some kind? If worn as a broach, with a small ribbon through there, that could be pinned to the garmet and the medallion would have hung below it.

[@bobkins270]

Thanks for taking us along. Have you ever found Native American artifact on your travel's? I love finding those items. Last year while detecting our garden, I found a few old cents, but as leaving I found a beautiful arrow head. I know that in New England most artifacts are long gone. I look forward to your videos every Friday. Take care, . . . Winter is coming. Brad

[@BrennanGauthier1986]

What makes you think most artifacts in New England are long gone?

[@bobkins270]

+Brennan Gauthier Your right Brennan there not gone, just harder to find. There was more colonial intrusion in New England 300 years ago driving out the native americans. Here in SW Virginia 300 years ago there was large bands of native americns in this area. Some 150 years ago. In my 1 acre garden I have found jars of artifacts, including toahawks, spear point, scrapers. I wish my health was better I'd be searching all the time.

[@GMMD]

Thanks for coming along! I've yet to find anything Native, but it's at the top of my list for 2019! Winter has been here, this video was filmed mid-October!

[@johnclarke6647]

That was a .22rf hole. I have shot a bunch of them. R.22rf rifles from that period had longer barrels than they do, today. My M27 Winchester had a 27 inch barrel, so it developed more velocity than the bob-tail barrels do today. I have even shot holes through quarters.

[@anniel3305]

Just want to say how much I enjoy your videos... have learned things about coin history that I never knew :) . You make it so very interesting, you and your friends, without being over the top. Your videos are interesting and relaxing and full of fascinating bits and pieces, I always come away feeling I have learned something I didn't know before. The nature shots you take? sooooo beautiful. I love when you include them, some little piece of the forest that I would other wise never see, thank you so much for taking the time to add them. Also, want to comment on a lot of the music you add to the videos, if there are recordings available of just the music, could you post where they are available? Lovely.Please keep the excellent low key, knowledge filled videos going - they are the best of all the detecting videos I have seen.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Annie! I'm glad to hear you enjoy the videos as well as the music! I write and record all the music for my videos, it can all be heard at www.GMMD.us

[@anniel3305]

Buongiorno, Lord, you are talented!!! The music is excellent - will check it out for sure. Thank you for you reply and I hope your next trip out? you get to find an item you have been hunting for since day one :) Thank you for such pleasurable videos.

[@GMMD]

@@anniel3305 Thanks again, Annie!

[@katiedeepbeep7130]

What an awesome hunt! Fantabulous finds guys! Congratulations! ....I wonder if they were trying to melt down a few pieces of metal and gave up and ended up with that brooch conglomeration? Target practicing on coins ~ who knew? Now we know. 🤔

[@GMMD]

Thanks Katie!!

[@jaystrongbow9435]

The scratched rock is from spiked dirt bike tires spinning. Snow riding is popular in New England.

[@highsheriff]

I enjoy your videos. I was so excited just this week digging my first Colonial Copper here in NC. There was not a lot of Colonial activity in central NC. It is a Woods Hibernia Half Penny 1722-1724. It was identified by the unique Britannia images on the back

[@christywerpy63]

time stamp 9:27 called a Basket weave pattern on the front of the button. very pretty!

[@martinsamson1832]

Me and my friend found a load of those pullys in a field in Scotland all brass ones identical to yours the other one is slightly bigger. They polished up great

[@Olds_Gold]

That brass pulley looks to be for maybe a wind-up music box

[@bsquaredsc461]

I believe your "pulley" item is from an old "coo-coo" clock. The chains would run around these pulleys. I've found one myself. Good video!

[@GMMD]

Interesting, thanks Brandon!

[@jasonjones6328]

I was thinking window pully

[@darrylwithrow293]

"A lot of work for a button"..... us out in California dream of buttons! I would love to do a lot of work for a button!

[@GMMD]

Haha I suppose that’s true!

[@413MassDigger]

Always incredible diggs, great job guys!! Awesome vid bro!! HH Ray

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Ray!

[@valeriegriner5644]

One of your little finds is probably a ladies' GARTER...to hold up stockings. They were small and delicate like that little piece you found. The coins that were shot were probably thrown into the air...then shot. My dad used to do that with coins!
