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!!!

I'm not Brad, but, looking at his coil I believe he is using a Garrett, probably the ATMax. I would not venture to guess what his setting are, but I'm sure he does not discriminate.

I always go away after watching an episode inspired and somehow calmer and totally appreciate your dedication and effort!! Stellar work!

Your videos are always the “cream of the crop” with respect to finding history in the mountains of Vermont & I look forward to the day you return to that “sweet" spot. As always, thank you for sharing your adventures.

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)

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 :-))

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.

Great finds! You are so right about the balloons, I work as a Ranger on Fire Island and tons of them wash up, terrible. Can't wait to see what you find when you go back!

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.

ian hughes I’m guessing there weren’t a lot of Spaniard’s dropping coins in England in the late 1700’s. ;)

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. ATB, Ian.

I was having a weak day detecting a cornfield so i went around picking up those balloons that were littered in the field. Found a pouch full of coins including silver dollars about 10in deep under one.

That's awesome. I've been detecting in the hills around what was a big gold strike area in Montana. Thousands were up there all over. Someone had to bury something and never get back to it. I'll keep looking. Congrats on your find

Congrats on the 8 reale silver coin. As far as that mystery piece, it reminds me of a brass decorative plate found on old muzzle loaders. Just a guess.

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?
@GMMD
@GMMD 6 жыл бұрын
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!
