PILE of Old Coins FOUND Metal Detecting Frozen Mountain Ruins

[@arpeggio63]

I started watching your vids a few months ago and I have to say...content is great, editing is awesome, music is really cool...I think I've watched about 25 or so and I can't get enough. I try to watch others and they just don't measure up to yours...And now I have a metal detector and a pinpointer and I'm ready to go out and look for my self...Thank you so much for the inspiration...

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the kind words, good luck out there, I hope 2019 brings you many treasures!

[@snickerstorino]

i agree, i just started this channel here and i can't stop watching! i got a detector just because of this, excited to give it a try. So many old cabins i find when i am out hunting, ill have tough choices to make next time i am hunting in the mountains lol.

[@jglow22]

@@snickerstorino YES! Like be VERY, VERY CAREFUL when you are hunched down digging in the dirt that a Grizzly bear doesn't spring out and maul you or WORSE! Be very safe! I'm sure you carry a gun since you hunt elk.

[@laurenlongfellow9714]

Find anything cool?

[@michaelhendricks9229]

That ice is needle ice. Just found it all over OH recently. Forms via capillary action when your ground is warmer than the air, and ground water starts freezing. Neat stuff.

[@dustinosborn8969]

Yep. Similar to frost flowers that we get here in certain spots around SW Missouri, also during deer season. Wish I could post a picture here, they are quite spectacular.

[@jason4750]

how does it form like that

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Wow! Thanks for the info! Amazing stuff out there we hardly see!

[@tinamiller8574]

Another name for it is hoarfrost.

[@jackrowe5571]

Here in 1960s in North Alabama used to see frost heave... straight clumps of needles coming up out of the clay. I wonder if they were the same process?

[@clivewarren780]

Thank you for getting out there and busting ur butt in the cold to have fun and entertain us in the winter and make our fridays awesome!

[@ozziepete55]

You certainly scored some great coins from that area. Our weather is the total opposite to yours. The other year l was detecting in the Aussie bush west of here & it was 43 degrees centigrade. Just a normal day in North Australia.

[@briankesterson4365]

Another visually pleasing video and a fantastic hunt! A large cent bonanza! The bell and the whizzer were fantastic and that old horse tack buckle was great! Thank you for taking us along!

[@GMMD]

Thanks for coming along, Brian!

[@computergrant1]

Another great video guys, and venturing out into that COLD! Some fantastic finds as well! I hope to find an old coin sometime. See you on the next round!

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Congrats Mike on your first Large Cent. What a great hunt. The bell was probably my favorite out of all the amazing finds. Your scenery shots were beautiful. I could almost feel and smell the cold Vermont Mountain air watching this episode. Thanks for sharing, stay warm and take care.

[@tennesseegem1063]

Oh to be young. To get out in that frozen weather you are more a man than me. But then again I'm 63 and live in Tennessee. Great video guys and great finds. Thanks for taking us along.

[@luishion]

Great finds today. Was going to say that buckle looks like the one on your bag. Thanks for braving the cold and for the beautiful shots of the area. Always happy for ya on a fruitful day.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!

[@therealwillywacker]

Great Job! A very nice little bell. Thanks for sharing and a nice sunny weekend!

[@henrycarter7563]

Nice video, I like the way you stop and show the detail to nature, it is good to see.

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear you enjoy it, Henry!

[@barbararexroad5897]

Awesome video guys and some really gret finds.

[@Downeastwaves]

Great finds! Thanks for sharing. Totally enjoyed. Can't wait for snow to go..

[@richarddavis689]

That shot you did of the camera down next to the ice was awesome

[@laurelreinhardt5076]

Love the time you take for the intro and through out the videos to show the beautiful scenery. Very artistic!

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear you enjoy it, Laurel!

[@LongIslandsHardcoreDetectorist]

Nice finds guys!! Love watching your videos. Catch believe all those coin finds in a single hunt. Sweet!!! Happy Hunting

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!

[@ranchstockstray8684]

Thank you for taking me on a winter hike from my warm bed in south Texas. Great finds and, as always, excellent video of beautiful Vermont.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi, wow you made me feel cold just sat watching lol, Great 1st copper Mike congrats. I love the logo metal you found, there must be a way to make that into a pin and put it on your jacket or bag. Some really cool finds, the bell was really cool, an awesome hunt by you both and kudos for going out in the first place. Thanks for sharing. x

[@COACHWARBLE]

I don’t know anything about metal detecting but I love your videos. You seem like a very caring and personable host. Keep selling me!!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

You guys had some really great finds! Congrats to Mike on his first large cent! And thanks, as always, for the beautiful scenery shots. The ice was awesome! Stay safe and keep warm!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Cynthia!

[@linr2870]

Nice winter hunt guys! Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us.

[@calvinh.8882]

Great finds guys! That's Awesome! And that ice is what they call needle ice. So cool you found some because I know you take some awesome photos, so you now have some of the cool needle ice. lol.

[@GMMD]

Thanks Calvin!

[@SemiErnie]

Never disappointed watching your videos, love the scenery as well as the metal detecting. And them ice crystals far out never seen anything like it and all my times in the woods

[@WILLBDIGGIN]

That is incredible to find that many large cents, in the middle of know where! Fantastic video as usual!👍

[@jamesneumann7863]

Your videos are yucky and boring. I'd rather watch Nora she finds interesting things and she looks a lot better in her swim top.

[@Mark-lh4xq]

Love the way you present your videos; lovely natural shots and chilled music ...and then the finds. Fav channel

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear that Mark, thanks for watching!

[@valerieloeffler6174]

Super finds! And as always, beautiful scenery.

[@sammccloud3395]

It is nice you go out in the middle of the woods to find yourself as a piece of lead. Nice coins. Keep warm and thanks Brad and Mike.

[@rickperry3165]

I've been through some real bad winters while growing up in Michigan. I've never seen ice like that before either bro! So weird but incredibly amazing! Gods creations of this entire world are truly jaw dropping and amazing. I'm glad you got to video something like that and show it to us subs. Thanks man

[@danremington8910]

We see ice like that all over the Adirondacks. I have no idea what causes it.

[@ReneeB5]

Very cool finds. The Ice “sculptures “ were beautiful . And you have a very nice smile. 😊

[@jerryfuller7615]

Praying for a SHORT winter and quick and early and WARM spring (with little to no mud season)!!! I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos! I love to get to Vermont every chance I get. If I wasn't this old, I'd move there in a heart beat! That's quite a haul you guys found this trip! More coins than buttons, WOW! That much money was still quite a lot compared to the monthly wages in the day. Maybe you can salvage the 'clanger' from the crushed bell to restore the Ticonderoga? Please show these items once they're cleaned up? Stay warm, and Happy Hunting! (Tell Eddie he is missed. Nice to meet Mike again.)

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Jerry!

[@greenman5255]

This is not the kind of "Pile" I'm used to finding in the woods and I usually find mine with a Boot, not a metal detector. Great video.

[@redradiodog]

The doctor removed mine.

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

Great finds despite the frigid conditions. You really have an eye for photography. Well done.

[@SmallWonda]

Under the circumstances I wouldn't have thought you'd have found much special at all - but just shows, despite the cold your equipment held up so you found loads of great stuff - super bell & coins! Have to return in spring! Nearly here! 😉❄🍁🐾👍

[@patrickwynkoop2218]

Awesome you are blessed my friend, always happy watching makes me feel like I'm there

[@jasonh.3006]

The ice comes from water being in the unfrozen ground, Cold weather pulls out the water while freezing and nature has an amazing way of making it look beautiful

[@fedupnow61859]

Thanks for the explanation. I figured it had to be something like that but to get a chance to see up close is special

[@terryhennessey9147]

So glad you didn’t step on it. Mother Nature showing off her stuff for only a lucky few to see 😊

[@lisamedlin2111]

AWSOME finds. So glad yall got out and about. Thanks for bringing me along.

[@lindarocco9974]

I enjoyed your adventure, especially the bell. Thanks guys for braving the cold temps.

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear it Linda, thanks for watching!

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Great video, again. Audio and editing are THE finest, hands down! I'm always happy when you post a new one. Keep swinging. Chuck in NE Kansas

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Chuck!

[@davewhittington1368]

Loved the bell ! Thanks for sharing. Keep warm !

[@joejackson9343]

Beautiful video in your in the Vermont mountains. Love your finds coppers bell and all. The ice find just beautiful. Thanks for another adventure. Stay warm.

[@dianaparker2949]

Great treasure! Wonderful treasures out there from Mother Nature too! Love the little bell! Thanks for taking us along! HH

[@zipshed]

You guys did great...good for you! That haul was worth the cold!!!

[@davesavage9996]

Brad, Watching your videos brings back memories of my 20 years detecting while living in Southern Vermont......cellar holes, farm fields, old muster fields and tavern sites and the Military Road from Charlestown NH westward...Spending all day outside with my wife detecting from Westminster, Putney, Brattleboro, BenningtonYour finds are awesome. On the days my wife had to stay home to run our B&B I would go out with my detecting buddy John...Good Times.... Nothing like the solitude and excitement of uncovering something that has been lost for hundeds of years. Keep those video's coming !!

[@johnmaddox7432]

Frozen Mushroom? Maybe if you had a brief warm spell. Nice bag of coins guys. By the way, the 36 caliber balls you are finding are from squirrel guns of the era. My suggestion for your battery issue would be to pack a thermos of coffee and another hand warmer in a day pack and keep the camera in there with them till you want to shoot. That should extend your battery life.

[@Badlatitude]

I thought it looks like some kind of fungus as well especially with the black looking much all at the base.

[@nativedumbass]

I put a thermos of coffee in my camera bag too! Thought I was being crafty with that one, lol

[@GMMD]

Thanks for the suggestions, John!

[@jaybales3160]

Excellent production. Congratulations on the discoveries. You were killing it. What at site, dream day for us detectorist in terms of finds. Thanks for braving the conditions.

[@larrystephens7437]

Today we have a video of #HighToneMike and #HighToneBrad! I totally understand digging those when it's cold. Not to mention the abundance of high tone targets. Well done.

[@GMMD]

Haha thanks Larry!

[@williamiteconner9918]

Awesome finds, Thanks for braving the cold to keep us pumped about detecting.

[@jillybean9329]

Great finds all the way around, but that big brass buckle!! Yowsa!!!!! Dunno what the ice formations are, but I'd call em SPECTACULAR 🤩

[@trevorinthailand]

Fantastic coins!!!!

[@keithfagan5424]

I don't even bother to watch other metal detecting channels on You Tube anymore, Good job on the finds.

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

You have great music for your channel and I really enjoy having your videos on during the day, sometimes in the back ground while I'm working. Very relaxing.

[@christophermason8151]

Man you film some good shots when you are out. I wish I had places to explore like that. The ice was really cool. Nice finds.

[@joebrown1382]

How ironic with the "logo" find. Love the buckle & the bell complete. Coppers galore! Your video editing is awesome. That ice is absolutely amazing. Thanks for treking in the cold nice video. HH

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Joe!

[@ynotcougar]

Always enjoy your finds as well as the views and production/editing. Its been a brutal winter here in Indiana and this video just makes me hunger for spring. The dust has been knocked off my detectors and Im ready to start building some holes.....

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, you and me both!

[@ellengallerani9836]

Amazing finds! And that ice! Fantastic stuff! Thanks😊

[@JosephBenRobert]

Who in their right mind would vote thumbs down????This video was awesome and they get better. Loved this one Brad Vermont is so beautiful! and what finds so cool. Loved the needle ice. Keep em coming bro!

[@robertgemski7728]

That ice formation was really cool!!! Cant even wrap my imagination around that one!!! Looked like a dead skunk hahah

[@tincuptimmetaldetecting9259]

Nice hunt guys! Very cool Conestoga! Congrats on the coins. Thanks for sharing! GL & HH!

[@jonce6750]

great video it's good to see you again keep them video's coming.

[@GMMD]

Thanks Jonce, every Friday!

[@digginhistoryoncapecod7506]

Subbed your channel some time ago and going through some older vids- this one was incredible- the fact that you braved those temps and conditions and the volume of LCs you found- fantastic! The ice plant- a gift!

[@jeffro99518]

Hey there, the ice you found we have the exact same thing on our property here in Alaska . We call it frost heaves. Once all the snow melts and we can see the ground we see those crystals right under the surface breaking through that sometimes are over a foot long and they push up the surface Of the ground or even roads. They can cause a lot a havoc up here. Nice find

[@paodigger644]

You are the best my friend. Absolutely love your videos... Keep em coming

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Wow... just wow! Epic hunt - too bad the cold slowed you down... you mighta had 10 coppers!

[@RelicMedic]

Great digs! Those sites are hard to come by. Looking forward to when you revisit this site!

[@AlbertD711]

Thanks for another great adventure.

[@dirtsandandrocks]

Those large cents are the stars of this video, but - Wow, those ice crystals were really cool! That's an incredible phenomenon

[@GMMD]

I have to agree!

[@dryheat85255]

Wow! That looks cold! I hope there is no permanent damage from frostbite. Great scenery and interesting finds make it worthwhile to be outside. You can tell real Vermonters because they don't use ear protection in the cold.

[@GMMD]

Haha no frostbite, the Hot Hands work well!

[@ronhicke118]

You have such a nice mild winter in Vermont. Yesterday it warmed up to minus 21C. We were thrilled. I live in Regina, Sakatchewan Canada. In February we had 3 nights that went down to minus -47C. Our soil freezes solid to a depth of 6 or 7 feet. Betty from Canada 😉😉

[@MrBoomSkate]

I really enjoy your videos because every single item found seems legit and not planted. Props to you!

[@bagheera2021]

What a place! You definitely need to hit that again.

[@therealdandyhouse]

Excellent as always. Enjoy all your videos!

[@normawinton6832]

You had a freezing good day! Congrats! You found your logo! Lol! Cool bells and that buckle was huge!! How is it possible too not have frozen ground there?? Come on spring!

[@GMMD]

Thanks! This was filmed in November, the ground just hadn't frozen yet!

[@moeman2213]

Love the video. I look forward to my Friday mornings hoping you have a new video posted

[@mattockmanxs]

Simply AMAZING! That many coppers! Nice going man!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!

[@mirkatu3249]

Thanks for braving the elements to take us on another great adventure.

[@camillefulton7709]

HAPPY TO TO SEE YOU BOTH BUT ITS NOT WORTH FREEZIN GUYS. GREAT FINDS, LOVE YOUR COUNTRY SIDE, ICICLES AND LOVELY PLACES. SEE YOU WHEN WARMER 😀 THANKS AMAZING. CAMILLE AUSTRALIA 💜💜

[@malyman24]

wow, great finds guys, congrats. love the bell.

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

A nice batch of large cents! This trip reminded me of one I took with a friend in the late fall, just before the ground froze solid. It was 20 degrees, windy and with 2" of snow on the ground, which is the only reason it wasn't frozen. That day years back I found a old brass band button and a perfect 1901 Barber dime. How we didn't get frost bite that day is beyond me. It was the last Norah of that detecting season. I live about 10 miles from Conestoga, Pa. This is where the Conestoga wagons were made, where the name came from. It was named for the Conestoga Native Peoples and was very close to the Susquehanna River. The semis of the day, Conestoga wagons, would be pulled by oxen with the sets of bells and transported goods from Philadelphia. Your bell was a great find. I have seen very early photos of these huge wagons at some early taverns along the early trade routes. Thanks Kindly for a very fun video, even though I was hilly watching! It brought back some good memories of a common coin with some value because of its perfect condition on that very cold day. The Best of Luck! May many of your signals be in the 80s! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

[@ShotofWry]

Congrats, Brad! Excellent haul. Still "the bell whisperer." Down here the ground's all clay so it freezes hard as stone at like 28ºF. HH.

[@Greengrass1972]

Great haul there guys

[@ionaphillips8500]

its nice seeing you again missed you this long cold central NY,thanks for the video

[@scottdunbar4898]

Thanks for risking frost bite for us Brad. That was an awesome adventure. Definitely appreciate what it took to bring us along.

[@TheWildsourdough]

Hello from across the river in NH. Just found your channel and subscribed- now I have many more to watch. I have found a large cent...as in one- you guys just found seven ! Amazing what is out in those woods. And that bell is SO cool. Great Hunting and thanks for taking us along.

[@GMMD]

Welcome to the show, thanks for watching!

[@Robs346]

Great hunt guys and finds!!

[@jengalloway4961]

Awesome video. I love those Ice Roots. Lol and the logo.

[@johnmullins929]

Great Video. You detect on the same type of land that surrounds my cabin in the northern Catskills, about 2000 feet in elevation. I have been detecting there with an old White detector that must be the first one that Mr. White made in his basement. I find the site I have been to on a map dated 1853. So far I have only found iron pieces but you have inspired me to upgrade my detector to a newer Garret in the spring. Actually my best find was a gun flint i found right next to the main foundation just laying on top of the ground. The site is an old orchard with a main house foundation, root cellar, and barn foundation. The curly ice I have seen many times while out deer hunting in November. Still warm moist ground covered by spongy decaying materials that acts to wick the moisture up into freezing air. Tell your pal Eddy he is missed and hopefully he might find time to be in a future video.

[@daanje1062]

Really nice production. Sights and sounds help me feel the nature.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!

[@countryroadscoinrollhuntin1697]

What a fantastic bunch of finds! Can't wait to get out there this spring myself. Keep the great content coming dude!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!

[@GreenMountainLove]

WOW! Heck of a site to detect- Jealous! Thanks for showing the ice crystals- very cool. Always enjoy your scenic shots of the woods.

[@RandyLunn]

Absolutely incredible day! Thanks for braving the cold. That is a super buckle.

[@cplegrand]

Those specific ironclad mechanic gloves you are wearing are the best gloves ever. Not the brand broadly speaking (though that is great too) but those exact gloves. I have 5 pairs. It has taken me almost 4 years of digging with my hands in the dirt, handling rough and sharp objects and generally beating the heck out of them to even start to show a little wear (on the first pair - I bought the others when the local Home Depot stopped carrying them and they started to disappear from other stores). They wont keep your hands warm, but they stand up to the pretty much anything you throw at them without losing fine motor control and feeling like you are wearing leather mittens.

[@jaduvalify]

Excellent video. I enjoyed this one. Your photography and sound is very good. Very professional. I could almost feel the cold. Hearing the ice crunch beneath your feet makes it seem as if I were there. The cactus ice was fascinating. The coin with the two holes in it was so special. It has a history. You can't buy one of those at an antique shop. This video is one of my favorites.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!!

[@Pantherman63]

Very nice finds for you two. Those ice formations makes me think of grass blades or hairs.

[@donaldmarx1]

Your videos are so peaceful and relaxing.

[@roberthypes6149]

These videos just keep getting better.

[@gregcook7883]

That,s cold? Wearing a ball cap and digging the ground in winter!!! Come on over to Minnesota!!!! We won't be digging the frozen ground for quite some time.. Love watching though!!!

[@chrisackerley1842]

Yes, that's cold! I went camping in Western Arizona this weekend. 74 in the daytime, 48 at night. Anytime frozen water falls from the sky, it's too cold for me!!

[@jimgriffiths9071]

Who but you guys can venture out into the frozen puckerbrush on a wintery November day and come up with a pocket full of largies! Too amazing!

[@GMMD]

Haha thanks Jim!

[@godblessamericahomeofthefr4642]

Awesome Hunt guys congratulations on the seven large. HH. Your friend smokin Joe from North Carolina

[@jimbobsslimpickins9801]

Stunning scenery and a great treasure hunt, awesome.

[@yomangull2538]

Excellent coin location. My favorite was the bell since it's the relic I want to find the most.
