I love looking at your treasures. Pretty amazing, especially when you add the history to it. Your the best!

[@awizardalso]

My mother came from the O'Grady family who lived in Vermont. I'd only been to visit my grandparents in Vermont a few times in the early 60's. The last two times I went there was for the funeral of my grandmother in the late 60's, and then my grandfather in the early 70's. I can't remember the actual years.

[@emnyce95]

I just purchased my first home in Vermont, and for father's day got a metal detector, I have been trying to find a hobby since I lost my dad, keep up good work! I'm super stoked hopefully I can join a forum for the states dectorists!

[@amnas69]

The "garter" piece looks more like the hanging piece for a calendar or a picture. A good clue is that oval section is designed for a nail head to go in then the weight of the piece holds it in place where it is smaller than the size of the nail head. Entertaining as always!

[@richardcollins9354]

The wire thing I believe is a latch wire to a Mason jar or crockery

[@brucewheeler483]

I wondered but what it was too small for a Mason jar, but something similar, but smaller, was used on top of soda bottle. Could that be what it is?

[@greatzot]

Probably a part of a bail cap bottle was my thinking also.

[@kellyhawes8901]

Maybe the real treasure of the day was spending time with your bud. I wonder if the “garter” on iron was actually the back of a picture hanger?

[@johnandlindaburgess8220]

Or maybe the top of a clip board?

[@bobhollis8784]

My thoughts as well.

[@markwhite2199]

Nice to see the green mountains of VT. Probably won’t make it there this summer because of the pandemic. Just bought the Garret AT Pro since I also detect salt water beaches. Loving it! Thanks for the vid. Safe hunting. M

[@slowrider19]

Great everything : music, detecting, finds..., as always, thank you for this

[@sergehorion7155]

Hello Brad, what you define as a garter piece comes most probably from a corset. Tschuss.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

That is exactly what I thought 👍😀

[@ralphcossairt1476]

I agree...

[@tomwoodward368]

Agreed. Pretty sure it's called a busk...or part of a busk. Tshussi.

[@unclejohnbulleit2671]

Good call on respecting the owners privacy guys.

[@johnsexton7621]

A lot has to do with preventing vandalism and may not want to be incriminated regardless

[@johnsexton7621]

He does this with almost all his finds, he gives most to the owners.

[@joyceclark8476]

Hi Brad, Hi Chris, enjoyed the hunt and finds. Not too bad for such a hot day. Great video. Happy first time back Chris, detecting Vermont. Thanks guys, Joyce. Connecticut 🇺🇸 ARROW *🎱

[@jim-do5pt]

Great Finds! Good hunt with the new Apex

[@MikeMcInroe]

Nice hot summer adventure. We are in the 90s here in Florida and the water is looking really inviting! Thanks for sharing another good video Brad. Mike in hot sunny Florida

[@drew-shourd]

Cool video, nice new machine....Pareidolia alert @ 3:30....and evil troll face/suspender part...hahaha

[@daleneff89]

Yes, very fun day. Thanks for allowing me to tag along.

[@charleshbintliff9249]

Great day thank you. Be well and stay safe. Hi to all welcome to Chris

[@sussymadrigal1147]

Brad, The small clip attached to the iron piece is called a corsett busk. Ive dug dozens of them. There would have been several of those clips attached to an iron strip that stiffened the back of a woman's lace up corsett.

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Such a beautiful area. Enjoy all fresh air.

[@rebeccas8895]

Another great video!

[@prestonj1025]

The bolts on the carriage step are.. carriage bolts! LOL

[@DetectingSomerset]

Great video looking forward to seeing more of the apex 👍👍

[@tomwilliams8675]

All great finds!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jillybean9329]

Really cool finds today!! Can't wait for more 😁👍

[@gailolson6324]

That hitch thing is half of a loose ring snaffle bit, which goes on a horses bridle and in a horses mouth. It looks as if the jointed mouth piece has broken. Love seeing all horse tack and harness.

[@kennethnootbaar8297]

Great seeing you guys again . Stay safe and healthy and good luck on your findings .

[@larrystephens7437]

That was a long hot day of diggin. Thanks for sharing.

[@normasavitsky489]

If the landowner found the carriage/wagon step on a stone wall, maybe prior to his purchase of the property, it could have been detected before? Sometimes detectorists leave unwanted finds for others or landowners, Thinking maybe that could be another reason for lack of finds. Enjoyed today's video as usual. Your videos are the show I look forward to every week, tv is out the door., figuratively! LOL!

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice job boys!!!!!!!!!!

[@tim9430]

Another fun adventure. Your friend seems like a nice guy. Thanks again for sharing.

[@Suncast45]

I agree with Marcia. That ring is a watering bit (snaffle). I learned so much by watching KC Steve . Learned a great deal from you also Brad. Awesome videos,Thanks You!

[@chuckjohnson4048]

I saw a video that the detectorist mentioned how the post office on rural delivery would actually cash checks at the mailbox and collect coins for postage payment, often the owner or postman accidently dropped some change at the mailbox. The driveway at the road intersection could have some results.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for the adventure and seeing some nice finds ! Take care , stay safe and healthy there in Vermont ! Doing well here in Kansas !

[@stanbarrett5552]

Thanks for taking us with you!!

[@debbieobryan8734]

Great job guys.

[@marciaposey1167]

The item you called a hitch ring may actually be half of a snaffle bit.

[@ryanjourney9607]

Marcia Posey I agree, that is what it looks like to me as well.

[@zw5509]

@@ryanjourney9607 my wife agrees with you too.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

That's the first thing that I thought as well!

[@tracybranham8648]

Did not know about the rocks into powder. I learn things everytime I watch your videos. Thank you Brad!

[@jefflogue4884]

Your garter clip looks more like a picture hanger. . Love your videos brother.

[@candicewilliams6473]

Chris, greetings from Rio Rancho. Brad, I continue to share your You Tube channel when taking insurance claims with insures from your area.

[@JohnTomasella]

Awesome finds

[@wagr9824]

Another great hunt Brad, always nice when you find a fatty Indian Head penny. Thank you for bringing us along, keep up the great work.

[@davidgonzales8148]

Great find guys love the new detector

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Enjoy the time 👍

[@philipwolf1556]

cool finds, but a better day for hanging out with chris thanks guys

[@davidraines2873]

Some interesting finds you found in with all the iron. If you had the time to dig out the junk you could probably find more good things

[@earthangel6480]

EARTH ANGEL ♥️. NICE HORSE HITCHING POST FIXTURE; WE HAVE ONE IDENTICAL TO IT IN FRONT OF OUR OWN HOME 🏡!!!👍🥰🐴

[@memorylaine]

I enjoyed it! It was slow, to you guys but not to us! Great finds! Nice to meet you Chris! I'm from NM I can tell you it's different! We're dry dessert 😋. Thank you Brad for another great video with GMMD!

[@kennysherrill6542]

Nice finds👍

[@jimgriffiths9071]

Thanks for the fun outing!

[@achecase]

Good job considering you're essentially sifting tails, no way you's are the first, (or second or third), folks seeking that land. Think 50-60 years with machines and another 50-60 just kicken dirt. Loved the penny, great shape. It's so easy for me to say be more carefull digging, but I aint out hitting iron in the 90' sunfor 6-7 hours. Great channel, thanks.

[@brucecrouch6654]

Looking forward to more Apex videos!

[@kennethrichie9656]

Enjoyed your show, thanks to men.

[@CreggThompson-yj7ekBrushpopper]

Love my Apex!

[@albertasgardeningandadvent7249]

Nice finds.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Thanks for sharing your hunt and finds. I agree with the find of the day. Enjoyed watching, good luck, happy hunting and take care.

[@richardwarnock2789]

Really Nice finds and Carrage step is in good shape!!!; )

[@stephk5797]

Brad do you have an album up anywhere? I'd love it if you just did a video/videos with just your songs, maybe over some of your drone footage/b-roll, you write lovely, relaxing, atmospheric stuff

[@dogmosatchmo]

You can check out Green Mountain Metal Detecting on Soundcloud. A majority of his music is there.😁

[@bfgardin]

Your "hitch" is 1/2 of a broken snaffle bit from a horse or mule bridle. Nice finds. I HATE swinging over hard, dry, packed dirt. It seems like it's always either blazing hot or freezing cold with no in between when the ground is like that.

[@scottcarter90]

Will be interesting to see your future testing of the Apex! You hunted an area like I normally hunt, farm fields! Good hunt!

[@sydkanten1600]

The round head bolt, on the step, is on the upside of the floor boards of the carriage.. wont snag shoes etc on the bolt head. go to hardware store, ask for carriage bolts,, they all have the round heads. the hitch ring,,, most for sure half of a snaffle bit for a horse. keep it up, my friend!!

[@jalpa9642]

Brad & Chris.... ya found some things but it seems like not much was dropped in the day... except for things that broke off or was worn off... 2 Indian head Pennies gives that clue to the things being scarce. Yet there could be more under all that rocky ground.... and tough digging..! =)

[@PengesanLogam]

Nice found..

[@susanjones2701]

Good video!

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Brad, that wasn't a hitch it was part of a Loose ring Snaffle bit for a horse, a very common bit still in use to this day, in fact I have one on my horse's old bridle. Some cool finds though but I think my favourite find was the trunk handle. Thanks for sharing a great day. xx

[@franielee38]

yay!! Enjoyed it!!!!

[@patrickhawley7608]

Crazy. Finding America just found a similar oil lamp dial in his last video as well. Love the channel.

[@MrPeteykins]

You can burn that ochre, too, and make a beautiful, rich deep brown pigment.

[@chrisackerley1842]

Brad - you should consider going back to this place and detecting the old road you found. Those are always good places to detect! People dropped stuff as they traveled.

[@diannesandenfebles2774]

I think it was a great hunt with two nice coins. The trunk handle is neat as well. I do enjoy your hunts.

[@silentmandan1392]

Nice hunt, I like those Indian Head pennies

[@CS-pi5oc]

The land owners seems to be exhibiting distrust. LOL. I’m convinced that they think u will pull gold coins in the original condition. They need to understand the time and effort involved. Consider a cool neck scarf.

[@TheMikeTownsend]

IF that is Ochre, it's a natural pigment. You just grind/mash it up with a mortar and pestle, or a hand Mueller (looks like a large glass Risk boardgame piece). Crush into a powder, then add small amounts of linseed oil (not boiled) and you have oil paint!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I think the clip piece that Chris found, that resembles a garter clip, is one of many clips along one side of a corset. You are problem NOT the first to hunt that l land, I don't know how long that landowner had owned that property but I believe it's been cherry picked with you guys getting some of the items that the others h hasn't found (just a thought). Congrats Chris for finding some great relics while hanging out with your long time friend and m my favorite detectorist n Brad 😀 I'm glad you two were able to eek out a few notable finds. A Fatty IHP is getting harder to find these days so that alone is a treasure in of itself 👍☺ You guys have a great weekend!!

[@themobleys]

I've found a few suspender clips just like the second one shown. They usually have a pat. Date if it's not too worn. It's usually 1860s to 1870s which fits with the rest of the items found.

[@cathymorasch4164]

Chris is great!

[@williegogomcneil7502]

Great video! I so enjoy watching and learning from your channel. The little piece you were holding at the 15:34 mark appears to me to be the lock mechanism for a an old glass mason type jar lid.

[@grant8shelley523]

Great vidio brad

[@bound4sunshine]

Garter strap possibly from an old fashion back brace or girdle maybe too. Interesting find!

[@discoverynorthcarolina9824]

Have the AT pro, and Ace 400...... Garret makes some awesome machines 👍👍👍

[@DiggerDegaz]

Nice hunt Brad

[@heavymetalnut1965]

cool video! the garter clip is really a corsett clip

[@overheardatthepub1238]

Been watching your vids for a few years. Passively. Recent changes have awakened the active watcher in me. Whatever you've done might be good for the channel.

[@raymondleverenz8645]

Nice video,the way to detect with permission

[@livefreedig3047]

So whats worse, blackflies or the heat? For me its the blackflies. lol. Glad to see the drone didn't end up in a tree this time out (sorry couldn't resist). Thanks for the great videos.

[@arthurbolton8477]

your garter clip on the piece of metal could be a picture hook or a mirror hook so you pass the large hole over the screw head then slide it down to the narrow part to lock. still for sale today. great music,

[@katpillar4131]

Rock of Ages "Ochre is most commonly defined by archaeologists as any iron-rich rock that can be used as a pigment. Most people associate the term with hematite, or red ochre, chemically known as Fe2O3. ... It's possible some of the red ochre we find may have been yellow once.” Mar 15, 2018

[@cjbdesigns]

That garter clip on a piece of iron is most likely a section of a corset busk. Busks were used as a method to get in and out of a corset without re-lacing.

[@ronniecardy]

Good video

[@roelf8653]

No way that carriage step ended up on top of a rock without other detectorists having been there before you and your buddy. I'd like to see you compare the deus and the new garrett on another site that hasn't been hunted out.

[@rikspector]

Brad, Nice group hunt. If you have an Apple phone, look up or get(it's free), the Leaf Snap app. I think you'll find it useful as one who loves the plants and trees as well as the History. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@tenncutt]

Google lens does that on android

[@UserUser-ww2nj]

That thing at 15:34 looks like the hanger for an oil lamp

[@1stmrcapncaveman]

was on full screen, at 15:03 saw an ant on the rock, ppphht thought an ant was crawling on my screen..lol. Likng the APEX so far that Ive seen, the viper coil seems pretty good.

[@mattlevy4786]

Hey brad, that bent wire with the good amount of patina looks like part of the clasp from on old mason jar

[@dalendayarnell2846]

The garter piece could be from a hoop skirt. To put layers on the hoops without putting more weight on the hoop frame. Like a half slip.

[@melodief3848]

I am a painter and there is an ochre! Cool!

[@ageranger1541]

That's nice they are trying to catch up with Minelab.

[@keithjohnson6352]

HEY BRAD, FINDING HISTORY IN ONE HOLE AT A TIME.!!!!!!!!! GREAT - JOB.!!!!!!!!

[@cathymorasch4164]

Lid looks like a cosmetic lid we find on Ponds

[@jengalloway4961]

Any history saved is a great day of digging. Great video. Glad you were able to save some usable drone video before the crash. Lol did you only focus around the known building foundation and road? The hill up behind you'd think would have been a better location for the house? Maybe not. Lol I'm not use to hills. We the flatness around here.

[@robertrusche8039]

KZbin video award for best cinematography, soundtrack, should go to you Brad, where you injured just under your right eye ?🎬🎼🏆🏆

[@PALM311]

The Apex seems like it's a machine that falls between an ace 400 and The AT Pro. It is a good-looking machine. And being a Garrett it's bound to be a popular seller. Garrett makes a great detector.

[@smokenjoe1194]

15:35 the piece of metal wire you dropped and then found I believe was used to hold down the top on a bottle.. Locked the top into place.. Best guess
