I Can't Believe I Finally Found One | Metal Detecting Adventure

The snow still lingers in the high elevation sites but that didn't stop me from getting out and finding the #1 item on my treasure hunting bucket list!

Tell your friends!

[@jimgriffiths9071]

You did it! You found your number one lister! And a fancy dandy, a draped bust, and the militia relic.....this was a magical day! Wow!

[@GMMD]

Magical, indeed! Thanks Jim!!

[@ThePponu]

One Martin to another Martin.... Wanted to simply say that youve got one o the best edited, most interesting channels. Love it when you take your time and show and describe your artifacts. From Texas. Since 1812.

[@chrishuston4445]

L Mar notice that he plants a camera tripod... Walks over a stream or up a hill... Then walks back to get the rig.. Definitely a dedicated adventurer.. Les Stroud (Survivor Man) would be proud of The dood!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!!

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

L Mar I agree, I was just showing one if his videos to my Son's girlfriend and said this guy goes way out to make us feel like we are there with him. HE ROCKS NO DOUBT.

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

chris huston I guess you're the one that made the comment yeah I totally agree I was just telling my son's girlfriend that he goes way out of his way to make us feel like we're along there with him yeah he rocks

[@chrishuston4445]

Brenda Salmon .... he battles the bugs and weathah so youall don’t have to...

[@digginhistoryoncapecod7506]

Your scenic adventures are second to none! Have to say, the reverse of your 1803 DBLC was an nice as any I can remember seeing posted, just pristine! The highlight for me- the 5 point- what a beautiful animal that came off!

[@lisamedlin96]

7:40 a.m. Great way to start my day. Tky for taking me along. Blessings.

[@randallkemp7630]

My son and I have been watching your videos for over a year now and look forward to new ones! That shed was a great find! All my time in the woods, I've never found one but I've never found a colonial copper either. :) Thanks for doing what you do. -Randall

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot, Randall! It's easier to find them when you wander around in circles all day staring at the ground haha!

[@ChristianConservativ]

My sons and I metal detect. We clean all coins found. We keep them and I know people hate it but we love to see them glimmer. We use Never-Dull. I started metal detecting in the 70's. I have got my sons hooked on it in the 2000's. Always fun. My youngest is always the luckiest. 🤣

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Definitely a nice trophy Buck, Brad!!! Great shed find!

[@bradleyleben7785]

I metal detected my neighbors garden and found 2 civil war union military buttons. then my neighbors son tells me he found 4 in the same spot. an area about 5x5. I'm thinking a burial, since there was skirmishes all along this river during that time. They were waterbury bottons, 1859-1865. LOVE YOUR VIDS. they make me homesick.

[@GMMD]

Very cool Bradley!

[@WarBorn313]

Really like how chill the channel is

[@Bell2trac]

Boy is that a great button, early Coppers and the deer she'd made for a lovely video and I always enjoy the scenery of your State!

[@ErlefromVa]

Pretty sure your #2 lead piece is a seal of some sort, could be a bale seal but different from normal! Good day for sure in the woods! Nice Antler shed, love it when they show up expectantly! Awesome early Eagle button and two coins for the day! Thanks for sharing and HH

[@turtleheninny]

I'm over in Western NYS and our deer are white tailed. it's amazing to see them run off in the woods with those white banners waving.

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Thank you for taking the time to explain all.

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

I love that time of the year when the moss on the rocks is soooo fresh and green, almost a surreal color. Nice diggins too. 😎

[@GMMD]

I have to agree!

[@yomangull2538]

You did great for just wondering around. Congrats on you Vermont state copper!

[@fritzkeller7567]

You are an old soul. God bless.

[@DirtRoadAutoRepair]

Wow. That’s a nice shed! Shooter for sure!

[@chrishuston4445]

Geeze I loved the Woodpecker shredding tree. That thing must be Pissed off at the long Winter season. Awesome finds! Thanks again for all your hard work.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great video again in those amazing surroundings. Thanks for sharing and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter

[@jimmycollette9209]

You have to be a metal detector to know the real joy you get when you make great finds. You must be one happy guy. Great video.

[@normawinton6832]

Nice shed and relics! Can't wait too see what the no. 2 is. Nice militia button.

[@kbtruck65blair64]

Nice find on the antler drop before all the little woodland creatures got to nibbling on it.

[@earthangel6480]

EARTH ANGEL😇 WHAT a 👍 great hunt! OH, gosh,a handsome military eagled button!!😁 AND that hand carved 🧥 coat button!!😬I liked the Vermont 1786 copper.... SO old! HOW fortunate that you have access to all this great 👍 untouched land!🙀 GREAT video!😍

[@richardbreisch8049]

Yes I was thinking lead seal. Very nice old coins and buttons. Good hunt!

[@thomaswilliams6155]

I must have walked out of the room for a minute when you found the #1 item you said you found. I enjoyed the video a lot. I like your outlook towards life and mountains,. well done amigo, keep up the good work.

[@GMMD]

The first coin, the Vermont Copper! I've been searching for one since I started the hobby!

[@timcameron2147]

I hear that Brad! 2 months into spring and we're still waiting for warmer weather..

[@clivewarren780]

Outstanding, i was laying awake here at 4am waiting for a video and boom, here it is. Best start to my weekend.

[@GMMD]

Haha Glad to hear that, Clive!

[@rebeccaross2890]

Thank you for sharing the adventure

[@joebrown1382]

1803 largy the year my state Ohio was made a state. Nice half rack. At first when I saw the eagle I thought you found an RAF button but not so. Those ox knobs are cool. Good day for GMMD.

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot, Joe!

[@afsof1015]

Congratulations on finding the Vermont Copper Brad ! Following the field stone walls is a bit of a change, but the results speak for themselves. Make a note for next November Brad, "BBB", Billy Big Buck says " I'll Be Back" !!!!!!! :-))

[@GMMD]

Haha You've got that right!

[@malbrech1]

Great finds. I really liked that floral and military button. The antler was a nice find also. GL & HH

[@DigginWithDeej]

Fantastic hunt in beautiful country!

[@outlawjjsmith]

Another great hunt Brad, thanks

[@CS-pi5oc]

Had I lived in that time, nvr would have found a button of mine. They would have been precious. A stitch in time...However, ppl were working sun up to bed. That’s where child labor comes into play. I know abt that. I grew up on a near subsistence farm in MO. U detecting and commentary r a lot of fun.

[@HobbyCache]

Fantastic relics and coins and other goodies

[@InjeborgV]

Finally got your Vermont coin, congratulations!! I just found my first 1800s coin the other day.

[@GMMD]

Heck yeah, thanks Aaron! and congrats to you as well!

[@jamesmassey6690]

Brad , great job once again. Glad so see your able to upload again every Friday. I always enjoy your videos, no matter what you find. Thanks for sharing.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@GMMD]

Thanks again, James!

[@jillybean9329]

Awesome shed!!!! Made a really sweet showcase for the day's finds 👍👍👍👍👍

[@GMMD]

Heck yeah!

[@markhopkins8716]

Brad, deer shed the antlers anytime between Late December and through January. They are usually chewed up by rodents and are not in as good a shape as that one. Good find. If you ever get down this way give me a shout. I know some cool places to detect. Mark in Maine

[@preserving_the_past]

Nice finds Brad, especially the rack. Thanks for sharing. Until next time HH&GL *Chris*

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Wow I love that militia button! Very nice!

[@richarddaniels9965]

Got yourself another subscriber. I just randomly selected this video and enjoyed it. Look forward to watching more. I have watched a lot of The Hoover Boys and enjoy there videos to. Glad I found another metal detecting video site. Keep making them. Very enjoyable.

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear it, Richard!

[@philipwolf825]

cool finds, can't wait for next week,thanks for sharing

[@nepahistoryandarchaeologys8623]

Great hunt, some really cool finds there. Thanks for sharing, take care, GL and HH!

[@riconagrom5999]

That's a fine button Brad!

[@davedawson3723]

Hi, That flattened lead with the 2 on looks to me like a completely flattened Enfield .577 type bullet. That type of bullet was also used in the American Civil war. The 2 would have been moulded into the the recess in the back of the bullet and would be the bullet mould number.

[@jayneair6590]

Excellent video.... really enjoyed this hunt!

[@brittmorrison4678]

Very nice shed!!, I like to find them too, great metal detecting finds too!!

[@PinkPowerAllyTreasureHunter]

Another great video of an awesome relic adventure!!

[@joea.8007]

A good day indeed! Interesting and numerous finds! Always pays to be optimistic. I trust that you were cautious on your hike out not to stumble or fall with that sharp five pointed surface find dangling at your side.

[@GMMD]

I found that shed fairly early on, and I stuck myself more than once with that thing! I wound up packing it out on my back, points facing out, just to be safe! haha

[@TheMinuteman1964]

have you thought about doing a video about cleaning, preserving and displaying your finds? also, what books or apps you use to identify your discoveries. great channel BTW!

[@lakeverna]

I would be interested in watching and learning from a video like that too

[@kennethlakey8338]

I just subscribed, really enjoy your chanel.Its not just about raiding area for treasures, I enjoy emersing self in the history

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear you're enjoying it, Kenneth!

[@IanYGath]

Still playing catch-up, viewing your past videos. These appeal to me on so many levels. Metal detecting, nature, history and beautiful scenery. Thanks. 🙂😉🙂

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear you enjoy them Ian!!

[@aropals672]

Going back to find all the episodes that I've missed to get my GMMD metal detecting videos! Lol Amazing to see how fast you developed you video skills. The music has always been fantastic.

[@lakeverna]

I'm a new follower, mid January 2020, and was wondering how to locate the start of his video productions. I enjoy his outings and want to watch from the beginning. Can you lend me a hand?

[@aropals672]

@@lakeverna first subscribe then go to his channel. Then at the top I think it is there's an option to go to history or oldest and choose that and enjoy the progression!

[@lakeverna]

@@aropals672 Thank you. I did as you suggested and found all of his videos. I started at his first one and was smiling at how professional he is with his current Friday shows. It will be fun watching him learn and grow. Thank you from Southwest NE. and Grand Lake, CO

[@johnbrookbank2969]

First thanks for the great site to watch , many years of hunting coins and all great items !!! Did a search due to my past info and was not positive of using a microwave to heat it , I know from fire dept. training and my dad being a fire inspector that Hyde Prox is shipped in colored plastic container to keep sun off it , it can become explosive from sun ray's , Also told of the huge danger of heating it from Dad when I was a kid = but I had on idea of what a microwaves would do to it , found this one post on net = Probably not safe since heat radiation is not uniform in the microwave box. You might end up separating too much O2 from it, making it "unstable". If you need to heat it, use a Bunsen burner or your nearest equivalent. Heck, a bowl of boiling water should do it.

[@GMMD]

Okay thanks for the tip!

[@anonhackit7274]

bricks and glass in spring , spring house for milk butter eggs

[@barbedstar6480]

Had to be a house around there close.... Love your work and enjoy our trips to the hunt!

[@GMMD]

You're probably right!

[@BRazquin]

Congratulations on your finds! You are amongst a very, very small group of people metal detecting (with KZbin channels) whom I can actually watch and respect. I've been detecting for 14 years, and it's refreshing to me after all this time to watch videos produced with professionalism and in keeping with the true spirit of the hobby.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the kind words, I’m glad to hear you enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching!

[@BRazquin]

Kudos, and a tip of the hat! Best regards from NH.

[@dryheat85255]

Good stuff as usual. It still looks like winter in your area. Surprised you didn't find more evidence of structures in the spring area since there was brick, ceramics, etc.

[@Pantherman63]

Really nice finds, including that one English coin. Right On. Carry on soldier!

[@tonithomas2016]

Love your hunts.Watchin from Florida

[@sarcasmoassholio4208]

Hey great finds, can't believe it's still that cold in Vermont we are flirting with the 80s here in jersey. I was thinking you could probably show Aquachigger a thing or to about the history of Vermont would be cool to see you guys do a video together one day. I don't know how the metal detection world works but who knows. great video and music as always. take care brother.

[@GMMD]

This was filmed back in early April, we're in the 80's here now as well! A hunt with Beau sounds like a blast, let him know you'd like to see it!

[@sharonfree8555]

Really enjoy your videos and aquachiggers too. I cant get out and roam the creeks and woods any longer, so y'all make that fact a little easier to live with. Thank you so much.

[@threefortytwo23]

Awesome video! Draped bust clean enough to eat offa!

[@hm2mahoney]

Nice finds great to be out there and find that shed.

[@dawncarpenter1358]

I believe the number 2 find. Might be a bale seal.

[@bahldr01]

The production quality of your videos is amazing! Well done! Looks like a great hunt. Have you ever gotten lost while detecting? Man, I'd be lucky to get out of those woods alive. Thanks for the video and great hunt!

[@GMMD]

It doesn't take long to lose your orientation while walking in circles staring at the ground, but I bring my GPS and a backup compass just in case!

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Drew - I agree with the high quality production, audio, editing and the content. Thank you Brad for your dedication, your desire and your abilities, to give us an excellent video. Thanks also for sharing your permissions and teaching/reminding us about the history of the great NE. Chuck in Kansas

[@thomasbradley4868]

I love the music you play on the videos

[@andrewgregory7035]

great video again a pleasure to watch.

[@metaldetectingwithlugnut]

Spectacular hunt. Love the nice arrangement of your finds at the end. Fun video. Hope it warms up soon.

[@MrWharfrat05]

Nice shed! Another great video.

[@RelicHuntingFlorida]

I hope it warms up for you soon almost hitting 100 degrees down here in Florida allready. Killer finds man glad it turned our in your favor always cool finding old military stuff and coins!

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot, this was filmed in early April, we’re in the 80s here now!

[@themississippicottage9395]

Its 98 degrees here in South MS...send some of that coolness this way!

[@GMMD]

Yikes! Stay cool!

[@jeannephifer4183]

Love to watch your videos it's so interesting all the cool things you find and I Love How You Love history and figuring things out it's just great keep it up great job take care God bless

[@CoilstotheSoil]

Very enjoyable video, liked the little history tidbits you throw in, nice button too

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot!

[@philfrederickiii4886]

Another great adventure !

[@marymisdom3955]

I love all your videos. What fascinating history you uncover. I like imagining families living there in those beautiful woods. I know it must have been hard for them, but surely they loved the homesteads they carved out. I picture rustic cabins, cleared fields for crops or even just a garden, and the daily activities that might have caused the loss of the items you find. I imagine the loss of a coin was a big deal! Thank you for sharing..

[@GMMD]

Very well put, Mary!

[@CameronMaser]

After seeing the repost of your token, I wanted to educate myself on Vermontensium and the KZbin search lead me to your original video. Well done 🙂👍

[@ronnie8133]

Awesome finds great video.

[@rammur1]

Great finds!

[@Ed_TheStrange]

Another great hunt, good job man.

[@marymacomber8242]

Hi Brad congrats on your Vermont coin and the antlers very lucky day.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Mary!

[@hooper4581]

Fabulous hunt buddy ! Nice finds Every time I see antlers a think 🤔 Back scratcher 😁

[@GMMD]

Haha!

[@jaybales3160]

Nice haul, congratulations. Excellent video and commentary. See you again soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@shovelindave7987]

Nice to see the hunt turned out better than expected. Coppers and buttons all day long. Now I know why I've never liked Nature Trail Mix. Always thought it had a bad taste to it. Congrats to you Mister.

[@GMMD]

Haha!

[@joemack5108]

Another great vid. I backpack the White Mtns, NH one area in Bethel/Littleton area N.Branch Gale River I would always run into a Postman & his dog the dog would sniff out the racks & Postman would clean them up & sell them....

[@GMMD]

Whoa, that's incredible! I'll have to bring one of my cats along next time to help search!

[@sammccloud3395]

Congrats again!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Beautiful dig location!

[@allenknight555]

Nice hunt nice shed .

[@zipshed]

I would say you had a pretty decent day... Great video and always interesting. Looking forward to the next!

[@zenseed75]

Great day! I never knew they regrow those racks each year! That's kind of amazing.

[@chrishuston4445]

Bernie Cat ... Then the miceies eat em... Ewww

[@GMMD]

Moose & Elk too! Crazy!

[@zenseed75]

Green Mountain Metal Detecting that thumbnail tho :)

[@janvafa4253]

The critters need the calcium that the antler (bone) provides - most herbivores have trouble getting enough in their diets without supplementing their plant food in some way.

[@jimbonito3766]

awesome military button at 13:20 love it ... many nice finds Congrats

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

The button man, dang good hunt I think. Good job

[@danielburgess7785]

We here in central/central Pennsylvania are experiencing a protracted mud season. Rain 16 of the last 18 days.

[@GMMD]

Gross! Here's to clear skies!!

[@QuestForDetails]

Nice antler and thanks for the cleaning coin tip, it will help a lot !

[@oliverhatton4931]

Another great upload.

[@petermundy3339]

Nice one Brad

[@ChristianConservativ]

Knife makers will buy those antlers.

[@comozo924]

Brick is an expensive building material, that would indicate whom ever lived there at least had some wealth. The other possibility is this location was a brick making establishment indicating some wealth.

[@GMMD]

I have to agree, I've found a ton of coins at this site!

[@chrishuston4445]

The British Military Gentleman who lost that button must have been pretty crazy mad. They must have cost quite a bit of money. British Military inspections where pretty strict.

[@GMMD]

Interestingly, I believe the British button was only made in London, and sold to any American militia that would buy them. From my research, it seems several used the same design!

[@bubblesangel555]

Hi Brad, would that have been a Pileated Woodpecker, that worked that dead birch over? I love that the first coin says 'Quarta' on it. You got some fancy buttons, but the eagle was the *Bingo* of them all! Nice Whitetail antler shed, my husband makes buttons from them, and crafters go crazy for them.

[@GMMD]

Could be a Pileated, but we have a few species around here!
