I Found Something Incredible Metal Detecting “The Trapper’s Camp”

[@c.c.9539]

Coins, button and thimble are treasures, but the claw marks on the tree, the baby orange creature and the scenery were treasures in their own right, Brad. Well done. Thank you.

[@Denise23451]

Out of all the metal detector KZbinrs, you are my favorite!!!! You don’t over hype any single find. If anything, you processed with caution. Your description is exactly what it says it is. And your honesty and knowledge of artifacts is so appreciated .

[@phildonnakilmer5109]

Thanks Brad for great family entertainment! We gave up traditional television last year and are 100% KZbin watchers. Your videos are amongst our favorites to check out!

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching, Phil & Donna!

[@thomastrain7311]

Hands down best detecting videos on youtube. I enjoy the history and research you share. Having context to frame your finds makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work and God bless from Virginia!

[@kantemirovskaya1lightninga30]

Awesome-love how you usually dig into history... this episode hits home-we are professional trappers next door in New Hampshire. Trapper Camp could also have indicated a fur trading post in which case you might find more in this area if you find the various sites of the stores, bunk houses, etc.

[@arlenelamont5610]

You not only uncover the past, you're preserving the present with all your fantastic photos of the land. I really enjoy both aspects of your videos.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I agree completely 😀

[@mercedithcompala8148]

Thankyou for sharing,Vermont, beginning to love it. Love your adventures and story's. Get well and hope you never run into any BEARS ❤😮

[@wagr9824]

Brad, thank you for taking us along on another of your detecting adventures. Watching you pull the Fugio cent out of the ground was definitely a highlight of the video. It is amazing the kind of history that is lying under our feet waiting to be found.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Brad, such a beautiful area for detecting in, you found some very cool things especially the thimble and the Fugio cent. Congrats on your findings, I love the music you always play between talking and how you show off the area and wildlife. A fantastic video, thank you for taking us along. x

[@ralphwatson7036]

Been catching up on your older videos and I must comment on how interesting, educational, and beautiful your videos are. So much more than metal detecting.

[@johno6861]

An interesting fact about the beaver trade is that a lot of people believed it was a fashion to wear fuzzy hats , but the truth is that the fur was scraped off and felted. Beaver is very water proof and holds it’s shape well. Some Steatsons are still made with beaver, that’s why they are so expensive. Also to make the hats, mercury was used, thus the reason for the mad hatters. You bought some new jeans😁

[@godblessamericahomeofthefr4642]

Brad I always enjoy watching your videos and the history you bring us. You are One of the most history hunters that I enjoy on KZbin malls. Please keep your great videos coming as always love the history and your fines that you allow us to see. Cheers smokin Joe from North Carolina

[@billthemailman9195]

Beautiful location and really great finds and history! Thanks again!

[@chrisackerley1842]

Brad - I suspect that finding the cool stuff you find is just the icing on the cake, so to speak. I think your true motivation is just to get out into the beautiful backwoods of your state!

[@donnievaughn1969]

Your videos are top notch. I am really enjoying them. Thanks.

[@nancyturnbough8609]

I use a wheelchair and don’t get much time outside. Thank you for sharing the nature and the history.

The last coin was interesting I didn't know they existed. Quite a beautiful coin when in good shape.

[@therealwillywacker]

[@kimhartman7351]

Very interesting - Thanks. Love your music, photography and history lessons.

[@janinebeckner5620]

Another awesome edition of GMMD! It's amazing to me that you were able to find the place based on what little info. you had to go on! What fantastic finds..I've never seen that size thimble before and with those details...nice one! Loved the coins too. Hope you have an awesome weekend and HH!

[@Beanieweenieable]

I’m so very glad I found your channel....you are so passionate about what you do and that makes these videos all the more appealing..thank you!

[@strietermarinesurvey1415]

Sir you are awesome! Not only with the finds but with the history, and knowing what you are looking at! Here I Michigan not much old history beyond 1850s but still find some interesting Indian copper pieces just no way to trace! Thank you!

[@garrykellogg3215]

Kinda' late to the party, but at 10:18 that looks like an early monocle and the glass is just missing. Would not be surprised if the handle is somewhere near.

[@broella6493]

So beautiful there. Such great finds! Love the history in your part of the country. Here in Colorado, of course, we don’t date back as far as you do. I love your music and your intros!

[@fedupnow61859]

Beautiful coins this time out and that button with the details was fantastic.

[@krawdadandrusty]

Wow! Got chills when you pulled up the Fugio Cent. Finding unexpected treasures while pursuing a "maybe" location... this is just the best! A classic beautiful GMMD video! Well Done!

[@Mantreaus]

Another great day for you.. The Ben Franklin designed penny is a whole chapter in a history lesson. I was thinking that with the thimble and backstory, if that place was a seasonal spot where trappers could come and sell their pelts. The buyer then sewing packs together for transportation out. Did not seem to have enough iron in the ground for a work station, farm, trapping or even homestead. But maybe reason for another trip one day. Another Thumbs Up Video.

[@liseswolfs8624]

The Fugio cent, also known as the Franklin cent,[1][2] is the first official circulation coin of United States. Consisting of 0.36 oz of copper, it was designed by Benjamin Franklin and minted only in 1787. Some historians believe that the word "business" was intended literally here, as Franklin was an influential and successful businessman. It does not mean "mind your own business" as that phrase is used today, but rather, "pay attention to your affairs".[

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I tried to find out how long it was used as actual currency before being made a historic coin; even back then; no glory.

[@liseswolfs8624]

From what I read and understand, the coin was only in circulation for a year.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Brad, you found a Fugio! Woo hoo! Awesome coin and button finds. I love the thimble, and I think that was a watch winder there. The container lid is gorgeous! Beautiful scenery and excellent videography! Thanks!

[@jimnorthland2903]

Franklin's Fugio cent was only made in 1787. But they were used for many years. Fantastic finds and very interesting days adventure!

[@miltonroberts7948]

Absolutely loved the musical interlude. You have a great eye for composition and finding interesting and beautiful things.

[@craigburton779]

Hi Brad,Craig here,your videos are AWESOME!! OWL Pellet you found,my son's teacher took the class to find some.Owls don't digest hair or bone and puke up those two things when done eating. Found them flatter on a rail at job site,soak them in a bowl of warm water, and use tweezers to find bones and skulls of little not so lucky critters! Next video,those were " Newt" eggs? Not sure. Thanks for your efforts, I really enjoy your work ( fun)!!

[@cleghornjr]

Thank you again for a great video. Even if you didn't find anything, the beauty that you show means a lot. May God watch over you when you are out and about by yourself. When you showed that last coin I thought it was a George Washington inauguration button. One can only hope.

I've found a few of those brass ring type things with the small tab on them here in Britain. Sometimes oval shaped. Haven't a clue what they are either.

[@Olds_Gold]

I love when the Beaver is active! :-)

[@whitewolf9454]

I like watching your detecting videos. I have to comment on the larger round metal item you found. What it looks like to me is the center cover to a jar and would have had the outer ring that screwed on the jar to hold it down. I am not sure what they might have had back then but that is what it reminds me of.

[@frankjennings4022]

Found an old thimble near an old old two room log cabin here in Arkansas. I often imagine a little pioneer wife mending clothes by lantern light. The cabin was classic two room with dog trot. Mud and stick chimney each end. The logs had wonderful two way beveled notches so logs couldn't move. About 18" Dia pine flattened on two sides. Foot adze and broad ax marks very plain. The walls had remnants of newspaper covering to keep out cold. One piece advertised an iron wheeled horse less carriage from 1893. One old timer told me the Bakers lived there and old man Baker made the best moonshine in Saline county. There's the base remnant of an ancient Indian mound across the Middle Fork of the Saline River where I live. We're 100 ft above the bottom. I suppose I'm the only living person that knows of it. We're only a few miles from the Hughes mound which has never been excavated. The deer showed me where it was or I'd never have noticed. Real history is so neat and completely absorbing.

At 2:30, the hole is reminiscent of a dugout that had only a roof covering. The stones on the end could have been the remains of an open hearth for heat and cooking. Just a shelter from the severe elements.
