I Found Real Treasure On a Remote Mountaintop | Metal Detecting Adventure

[@jimgriffiths9071]

The opening scene was downright cinematic Brad! And finding Spanish silver up in the puckerbrush is just darn outstanding. You honestly have some of the best relic content on the web. Great job!

[@GMMD]

Much appreciated, Jim!

[@karmaclanton5544]

Wow that beginning scene was stunning!!!

[@wilsondog7616]

Like little bits of time travel, someone owned those things, and lived in a totally different world. i love it.

[@Fatbodypyle]

Hey Brad, Ive been going back in time to re watch some unbelievable finds that you have made. Its just amazing the artifacts that you have uncovered. I enjoy your new, as well as your old adventures so much that I can watch them all again and again ! I never really thought about it before, but you are actually making history by uncovering history, in the mountains of Vermont, and the world is witnessing it all through you ! Thank you so much for sharing with us ! KUDOS!

[@darlawelch9676]

Can't stop watching these videos! I love how much joy you find in buckles, hinges, nails and spoons! Are you ever concerned about stepping into an old well? That would be my biggest fear.

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear it Darla! Not a serious concern, but certainly crosses my mind!

[@malyman24]

Wow, You have a great site there. Congrats on those beautiful coins and buckles and buttons, I love them all. What an awesome adventure, thanks for taking us along. BOL, Mike

[@mikerobbins5049]

I love watching your enthusiasm about the items you find..... even spoon parts....

[@jeffreyloparto3061]

My vote is for the longer videos. I'm 60, live and work in an urban environment in R.I. I watch your vids before work to get my head in the right place for the day......out in nature. Great scenery, detecting is an added bonus. Also went out and bought an inexpensive detector , can't wait to find my first jar of gold coins. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear you've been enjoying the videos, Jeffrey! Thanks for watching!

[@CoinandRelicOntario]

What a picturesque area Brad. And to find all those coins and relics is the icing on the cake. Fantastic job!! Andrew..

[@marymacomber8893]

Awesome finds, very glad to see your subscribers number getting up there, You are truely the best with detecting real history.

[@crossbow1203]

I have been watching your hunts for a few weeks now and it always amazes me how open your woods and fields are. Here in eastern Ohio most of our woods and old fields that are not in current use are completely clogged with either black berry brambles or worse yet, Multi-flora rose bushes! They were brought in years ago as a living fence for cattle. It failed as a fence but became a damn invasive species that takes over fields, pastures, etc. Any place with enough sunlight to grow. Makes it hard to coin shoot when the bushes are trying to eat you alive with huge thorns! Keep up the good work!

[@GMMD]

Thanks a ton, we have some thick places but most of the homesite areas are still open!

[@joea.8007]

That was fun! Congratulations on the great finds. I had not heard that about fallen trees. Not a good way to go - to be done in by " a zombie tree".

[@2H80vids]

That opening shot is beautiful Brad; simple, but *very* effective.

[@outlawdigging2847]

Brad, Unbelievable coins some in great condition, + nice buttons, buckles and of course spoons. That was a great place to hunt. Great video, GL&HH on your next adventure.

[@lisamedlin96]

So great! Happy for you! Thanks for bringing me along!

[@GMMD]

Thanks for coming along, Lisa!

[@braap859]

Brad....awesome video as usual. Look at your video again at mark 2:12 and behind you is an old Indian trail marker. It's the tree with the 90 degree angle branch. There's a lot of research done on the bent 90 degree branches. I look forward to your videos each week. Ty

[@GMMD]

Thanks Chris, good to know! Looks like this time it was pointing towards treasure!!

[@QuestForDetails]

Totally made a bad day better. I needed a good hunt in far away hills thanx for taking us with you.

[@GMMD]

Awesome, so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@barbedstar6480]

What a great job you do! Superb camera work and music, too!! Super finds out in the beautiful woods..nearly like being there digging with you. Can almost smell those woods! Everyone needs to send you a couple bucks to get a good, used 4 wheeler...or sell a coin and that woosey 2 wheeler for one. Being stuck by yourself is really the pits!!!

[@GMMD]

Haha My woosey 2 wheeler fits in the back of my truck without the need for a trailer! Thanks for watching!

[@barbedstar6480]

When you are up to your hubs with no one in site...think about which bigger truck you need! Still...you do a great job! Carry hip waders!

[@eddcurry1245]

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

You put the effort into searching and it pays off. That's what makes the difference. Some amazing finds!

What an epic hunt with such a variety of coins and relics. Fantastic job. Thank you so much for sharing. HH

I Love it when you post a new video! What fun finding pieces from another time! Keep up the quality work!

[@jackrowe5571]

I watch these as much for the photography as for the finds! I am jealous of the early settlement dates you have. My family was in New Hampshire and coastal Maine and Tennessee. I live in North Alabama. Good for arrowheads but not colonials. Thanks for the vicarious experiences!

[@hooper4581]

Outstanding! 2600 views 12 hours nice ! Always a pleasure to watch brad. Thanks for taking us along

[@YourPupsBestFriendNY]

hey man, i just ran across your videos last weekend and so far i've watched almost all of them! I've actually never been metal detecting but my great uncle was a diehard detector and he actually gave me a small box of some of his finds - an 1896 & an 1886 O morgan, 2 1922 silver dollars, a V nic and some nice IHPs among others. in short, your videos have definitely inspired me to start detecting myself! I live just outside of NYC in westchester and while there is a LOT of history around here its all been hunted out or completely landscaped over. I'm going to have to venture further up the hudson to find the good stuff, like near west point and poughkeepsie, or visit my friends up in marlboro and brattleboro near you guys. Anyway i just wanted to say thanks for sharing your adventures with us and i wish you many good finds in the future!

[@GMMD]

Hey Alec! Thanks so much, glad to hear you enjoy the videos! Congrats to your uncle, I've yet to find a dollar coin, was hoping this would be my year but we're running out of time! Thanks for watching!!

[@ErlefromVa]

Deep in the woods and one beautiful site! Congrats on diggin another Reale! That Tombac button is one of the nicest I've ever seen dug, great design and beautiful petina! Thanks for sharing and HH

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot, Erle!

[@RCBuildaholic001]

Great finds Brad! You have some good luck finding that Largie on the surface, and that button was awesome! Congrats, and thanks for sharing, GL and HH!!

[@dygger60]

What an opening shot...WOW..it said it all about Vermont...and a stellar day to boost...I have commented about this before...but finding old home steads up in NO WHERE....and they date to the 18th and 19th centuries to boot! Ya really had to have the "hair of the bear" on ya to survive back then...that capped bust penny...wow...one of your best productions yet! And this weird weather allows for more detecting....Peace and thanks for the video.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for watching, David! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@jimbonito3766]

fantastic coin on the surface and the silver OMG ... love the buckle .. ... those buckles are sweet ... wow scary thought will the root ball ... very nice tombac .. great Hunt so far ...Fantastic day

The Spanish silver was of course the most amazing coin find but honestly that tombac button with the design and complete shank was so cool. Dude you need to bring a little fishing lure box or an altoids tin for those fragile finds! Congrats on yet another incredible hunt and fantastic vid.

[@GMMD]

Thanks! As I've mentioned a few times in this comment section, I do have a small box with soft cloth for my fragile finds, but despite my best attempts this shank couldn't be saved. Thanks for watching!

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Brad, wow another half reale, congratulations. Some beautiful finds, I loved that tombac button design. Brilliant !!!.

[@jonathangauthier3549]

I love your videos. I cam really see the passion for hunting hidden pieces of the American history in your eyes. To answer a potentially rhetorical question: I have a friend whose parents make jewellery and wind chimes out of silverware (so that's 1 possibility for the spoons), and French colonials were known for playing the spoons on their knees (as we still do in Quebec). My headcanon is that this house belonged to a musical family (or a musician lived within it), and that they taught kids how to play the spoons, then they would reuse the spoons in crafts as mentioned above. Keep hunting dude!

[@StefDigs]

Awesome videos, I've just started following you over the past month - we have a lot of cellar holes in CT, many of which are in the woods behind my house and were evidently not detected. Love, love, love this hobby. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

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

[@kbaise931]

you may have come across the old outhouse.foundation's were usually wood so they could relocate them easily when the holes got full.

[@btvdigger5340]

You continue to amaze Brad! I hiked an hour to a cellar hole in the middle, and I mean middle of nowhere a few days ago and found it was already hit. Nuts. Scraped up a few buttons and a toasty IH that's about it. I wonder if the place you found the coins was the starter cabin for the primary cellar hole you didn't find much at? Those can be tough to find, but often lucrative. John

[@GMMD]

I've certainly been there, John! I've been incredibly lucky the last couple months, most of my hikes have had good results, though you don't see the ones that are a bust ;) I like your starter cabin idea, makes sense!!

[@colarisaka]

Great finds! All the coins and spoons makes me wonder if it was a tavern or meeting place there....

[@okiedoki]

Awesome.! You make the best videos..! please don't ever stop.

[@GMMD]

Thank you!!!

[@tridonnstreasures]

Very Very nice finds Brad. What a great hunt and the finds are second to none.Wahhho. You found the cabin site...That's what I've been digging and I pray you take some time at it, get some iron out of the way, and go deeper. That cabin site is going to keep producing for you. I know I'm preaching and I hope I don't offend you, but there so rare and it's virgin ground. Either way I love everything about your videos,finds and the effort you put in to save this history lost to time. GRATS... Paul.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Paul, no offence taken at all! I have a long list of sites I want to visit so while I'm done with this place for now, it's been added to my "will return" list for another time! Thanks for watching!

[@tridonnstreasures]

Hi Brad. You know.....After I wrote that I said to myself.....Paul....Maybe he's trying to get to as many sites as he can and then plan them out like I do....lol. After watching so many of your videos You would think I'd remember that. I've been stuck on the same permission for almost 6 months for different reasons and forgot not everyone has to worry about the land owner building on a historical site.lol. All I have to say Brad is I relate so much to you in this hobby and am blessed that you do what you do and we get to be a part of it. TY as always and keep detecting history. Paul.

[@afsof1015]

The distinctive nose on the 1784 one half Reale is that of Carolus (Charles) III of Spain. Brad ! your dated finds give you a great window of early American history in that site. The lack of a cellar hole could mean the dwelling was a log home with hand hewn board floor, long since rotted away or burned and the contents spread. The cracks or space between the boards being the final resting place for your great finds. Thank you for sharing your adventure my friend. :-))

[@chiaratiara2575]

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

@@jerrybartlett6849 Indians in this sense refers to native americans. No I do not believe they were gold smiths. They used bone & stone to create tools & artifacts. They also wove baskets out of plant material & used wood in certain projects, made clothes out of animal skins/pelts & also constructed pipes & cooking vessels of clay.
