Hey Folks! If you are interested in winning a free XP ORX - check out this video for entry: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOcm4t3eb6Eq6s

[@yourapexgod2317]

Very professional channel man. Im not huge into relic detecting but came across your channel and really enjoyed this video.

[@darrylyusko8342]

Great videos Brad. Long time watcher here. One reason for loss of many coins is the mode of travel, by horseback... Bouncing around in a saddle jiggles everything... It’s why some coins were drilled by cavalry worn around their necks for fear of losing their pay.

[@andreabrown8297]

I enjoy your beautiful videos. You're like the Bob Ross of metal detecting lol.

[@Ethan.s..]

Hopefully Brad makes it past the age of 50.

[@GMMD]

IT WAS A THERMMAAACEELLLL

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

I love to watch you metal detecting. Several in my family do and I wish I could. Especially if the scenery was as beautiful as were you are. I am not sure which is nicer to look at, the beautiful trees and old home sites or your cute smile! Please don't block me, I'm not a creeper just a Grandma who enjoys people who like what they do! Please stay safe! ❤

[@jeanninehoban2788]

A sunny morning...coffee and GMMD..peaceful and beautiful! Thanks for taking us along! Always enjoyable!

[@BackroadsMetalDetecting]

Congrats on another successful hunt!

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Nobody makes such smokin beautiful videos like yours! Lol! I love to see a notification of a new adventure. Thanks so much. Keep exploring for lost history!

[@colleennikstenas4921]

I see what you did there.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Hahahaha!

[@kallyand]

i love watching you explore...i can't wait till you hit the 6 o'clock news with that huge find!!

[@allabychiro4202]

Brad you are on fire!!! Great hunt!!

[@sergehorion7155]

Hello Brad, I just can not miss the opportunity to tell you how smart your commercial section is. You are just brilliant! I have never found a thimble so tiny despite a box full of them now. I believe stitching was a necessary craft in this era if you did not want to wear only rags at the end of the year… So, teaching youngster with the appropriate tools makes sense. As for the reason why people lost coins, s..t happens. I found on average one gold coin for each year of metal detecting. If people unfortunately lost very valuable gold coins, a large cent can be lost too! It is just a costly accident.

[@GMMD]

Hey Folks, thanks for watching today's video! If you've come to the comments to let me know my backpack is on fire, consider using the time you'll save by visiting this link to today's sponsor! 😉 bit.ly/BradXPdetectors

[@Woodstock109]

Haha

[@wadeclark1528]

LOL! OK, will do!

[@Woodstock109]

Ok....link visited. Wow! They cost a lot more than expected but with their advanced filtering ability and super light weight I can understand why. From what I have seen on your channel it's well worth the investment.

[@greenman5255]

Does the sponsor sell products to extinguish backpack fires?

[@colleennikstenas4921]

Soooo....what was it then?

[@annlee2230]

That is a child's thimble. As others in your comments have said, back then, the girls started learning things like sewing at an early age. My mother was given a tiny thimble like that by her mother when she was about 5 or 6 so she could use it while her mother taught her to sew. When I was a child and started learning to sew, mama brought out her tiny thimble for me to use. I remember being so excited to have a mini version of what mama used. I really need to sort through my endless boxes of "stuff to keep" and see if I have it. Mama always kept it in her jewelry box and I don't recall if I have it or not. (mama has been gone many years ) Thanks for awakening wonderful memories for me today!!!

[@AXL1962]

Thimble for colonial monopoly game LOL

[@jennywalborn7769]

I literally put the exact same thing....and then saw your message first thing! Lol

[@dianep3071]

Thimble is what the ladies use , when make their clothes

[@todd7619]

Came to say the same thing lol

[@jacshop6683]

I want to be the wheel barrel

[@McChrister]

JAC shop Hahaha, life was hard playing Monopoly when you were young!! 😂👋🏼🇨🇦

[@roccoracer]

I absolutely kill it in high iron areas with my Deus. For me program 9 Hot works best in the high Iron areas. Several times I would go behind a friend who was in a high iron spot and find coins. The best example was an 1845 seated dime and 1845 seated half dime within 2 feet of each other that my friends machine could not find.

[@marciadarden3516]

I wish you wouldn’t go out alone. I feel better when other guys are with you. Stay safe.

[@jerrydineen2827]

Awesome pile of coins and relics Brad!

[@darbysdownhomedetecting]

Congratulations brad on the awesome classic head and Indian head cent! Beautiful location!

[@danawrigleywalkingstickand5677]

The item you identified as a broken key might be part of a scythe. The tang of the scythe blade goes through the hole of an oval eye bolt and the threaded bit goes through an iron plate secured to the snath (handle) of the scythe and is fastened with a nut. I say this because the scythe I use to trim the ditch out in front of my house broke one time and the remaining part of the eye bolt looked exactly like that. Some great finds,Brad, as always.

[@zw5509]

Agree. Old Skeleton key locks could be reset to a new key by a locksmith too.

[@todd8414]

I found a beautiful small silver forget me not baby thimble from the 1860's around a old church campground with beautiful designs on it! One of my favorite finds.

[@janas7088]

Great looking shoe buckle. Awesome copper & indian head. Love the tiny thimble.

[@kkbroker]

Monopoly game piece thimble... :-) Look for the Race Car!!! Great video Brad

[@GMMD]

🤦‍♂️

[@cocod594]

I just figured what I missed about your old metal detector. This new ones don’t let me hear the sounds of whatever you’re finding and I miss those sounds. I’m not a meal detector and never have been, but I watch your show regularly. I’m 75 years old, and if I’d have known about detecting 50 years ago, I’d have probably tried it! But I do miss the detecting sounds!

[@rikspector]

Hi Brad, The sound of a Hermit Thrush only second to the Ee-oh-lay of the Wood Thrush, what a way to start an adventure! Persistence is your virtue and it paid off! It sounded like an American Thrush(Robin) at the close. Loved it! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@teaberrywmn]

I never get tired of shoe buckles and buttons. They just fuel my imagination about the persons wearing them and why they were lost. And as I think about the metal people had on them and in their pockets and on their horses I just wonder how all these pieces get scattered. And the fact that you find these items is simply miraculous. If only they could tell their stories. Certainly the only things left by native Americans would be stone or pottery. Early anglo Americans would have metal adornments and utensils and tools.

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Nice day for you young man stay blessed and see you again on the next episode 👍

[@malyman24]

Hiya Brad, Mike here. I detected a 1726 house in my town in 2018. I dug an 1810 in the front yard and a 1819 & 1843 in the same area of the back yard I think where the clothes line was. I just opened a box of half dollars and I am findng BF and WL halves. My best box ever. I will be LIVE tonight around 8 to go through some more of the roll LIVE as it happens.

[@roydesrosier3834]

The spike could be too repair wagon wheels, I have several that have forged heads to hold the wood to the iron ring. Keep up the great work!

[@thomasmcconnell2898]

As always, well done! You might consider bringing a smoke detector with you as well, given the smoke floating up behind you at the end of the video.

[@michaelgreer8659]

You must not get poison ivy, or you will. At about, 12:12 you were teasing it. I think

[@aprilp.4530]

Yes!! I was yelling "stop moving your hand!!"

[@GMMD]

Ash tree sapling 😉

[@memorylaine]

As a child, our teacher's had jars of buttons, they were our way to learn to add and subtract, makes me wonder if they had a collection. The last copper was beautiful! Loved the tiny thimble, children learned early to do chores. And I just want to say, thank you for putting up with deer flies and mosquitoes, deer flies are mean when they bite! See you next week! Smiles

[@beverlyparrott3890]

Brad you found an array of old relics. Good video.

[@jeremyo8233]

THanks for another fine adventure!!!

[@claykemper7193]

You asked the perfect question Brad, as to why coins were lost. Since you are almost always on old homesites, your hunches are sound, but when I see other videos about hunts on vast (100 to 500 acres) corn or soybean fields, can we surmise that finding several or more coins in a small area would probably mean an old structure used to be there.

[@kayneF1251]

I love the draped bust, it’s beautiful.

[@glennaw1547]

I think that the thimble was absolutely for a child. Little girls started on samplers very young to learn how to sew and do embroidery. Also, due to diet, people were much smaller back then.

[@danm2422]

Love your videos Brad keep them coming! I had back surgery so I can’t get out to do some digging for a while, but on the bright side I can catch up on all my favorite metal detector channels!

[@alanmoffat4454]

YES GREAT FINDS KEEP THEM COMEING ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO THEM .

[@johnreading2126]

I liked the info break for the metal detector!

[@briandufty5081]

Thanks bro.. Keep doing what ur are.. God bless..

[@dwightpickens2895]

Brad awesome video congratulations on your finds love the drape bust penny

[@gaylereid8264]

At 17:26: Dude!! You're on fire 🔥!!! Brad Martin is on fire 🔥!!! Ooohh nooo 😱 L❤️VES me some Brad Martin

[@patshelton3712]

Some more history of our ancestors. As always a great video. I wonder if Mountain Folk were looked down upon as they are now? Then again it's funny how people buy land and build summer homes in the mountains to get away from it all.

[@janvafa9959]

One thing to remember Brad; buttons had value so were kept and handed down from mother/grandmother to daughters/granddaughters (think of the button jars around today…).

[@jalpa9642]

@ 17:25 time stamp you have Smoke rising up behind your Right Shoulder....and it continues until 17:35 or 17:36..... could possibly by steam....?

[@quasimobile-thedairylanddi8266]

Nice coins...but you need something to keep them bugs away. Well done!

[@AaronACress]

Awesome video as always Brad! I think you have hands down the cleanest, most well edited videos in this category. You always seem to find something with an awesome story to tell. That’s what it’s all about man! Keep up the awesome work you’re doing on your channel, I hope to have mine something like yours one day! ✌🏻

[@MrAussiedarren]

The XP ORX looks like a real winner Brad.

[@laurenoreilly4140]

Great video as always, Brad. I’m in the car on our way back to Illinois from North Hero, Vermont. We were there for a short visit with my elderly parents. Wanted to bring my detector but had no room in the car. I want to detect out East so bad!

[@1LWiLNY]

If you ever do detect old places like brad then you are sure to find old stuff!

[@G5ranch]

Awesome find. Looking forward to next video

[@PinkPowerAllyTreasureHunter]

Another awesome adventure with great relic recoveries Brad!! Thanks for sharing

[@paulbrown5536]

Love your channel brad really like that you hunt in the mountains

[@forrestporch5333]

Hey Bro! Your backpack is smoking .....LOL Keep the videos coming love them

[@rickfoss3541]

I really like it when you show the item after you have cleaned it up. I would have loved to see the thimble and anything else after it was cleaned up. Thanks for your videos. I look forward to them every week.

[@fredclemons8923]

Great hunt great finds nicely done 👍🏻

[@hpharridan]

love your videos! i saw a teeny tiny thimble just like that on a British mudlark show last week but i can't remember whose posting it was!! either Nicola White or Si finds or Kit and Caboodlers or Northern Mudlarks.......maybe Mudpies. i watch all of them.......and you! see what good company you keep! (wasn't there a tiny thimble in the Monopoly game? early American edition?)

[@ilvrkiosif]

17:24 He's on fire :)

[@markenglis3237]

Helow brad i love your vidoe i frme philippinesgood job i love finding thing

[@1LWiLNY]

I love when the coins come up green like that. I don’t like it when they come up looking like the color of the soil. But if it’s a coin I’ll take it! Love your videos!

[@Rustyrod76]

Concerning why coins may have been lost. I'm in my seventies and having grown up on a farm, most of the family that worked out in the fields had two important things in their pockets that where frequently taken out during the day; handkerchief and tobacco pouch. If a coin happen to be in this same pocket, it could get dropped when removing either. Remember, on a hot day, wiping sweat off was done often and chewing or filling a pipe with the weed was constant when that's all one had to break the long work day.

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Nice job Brad!!

[@marielg9143]

What is that wisp oof smoke coming off or behind your back??? @ 20:38... And Peppermint oil and lemon balm for the bugs

[@jimschafer9196]

Broken key ... trip to black smith, thimble very small ... put on a sick to reach into the finger of a clove or some other small area that heeded a stitch or two. Agee with your thought on lost coins.

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

Brad, have you considered making muzzeloading possibles bags and such, in your leather business?? I, for one, would be interested. I make powderhorns and even scrimshaw them, but leather work isn't my Forte, although I have made a buckskin rifle case and possibles bag, complete with rolled buckskin buttons, as the mountain men used if they didn't have antler or bone buttons available. Just a thought, as it might be something you would consider. Thanks for great content!!

[@patprop74]

5:30 I once found 2 1850's Canadian large pennies on a very steep horse trail, one was at the very bottom, and the other was half up, right next to it, I drugged up a partly flatten musket ball, My first thought was whomever the coins belong too was shoot and landed where the coin and the musket ball dropped. but that could just be my imagination running wild lol. I think why we find so many old coins, was due to the fact the working class did a lot of drinking in encampments and around the fields where they worked.

[@nelsonbattis2763]

I think the key end was pull knob on dresser? I have seen that style befor on really old things

[@tincuptimmetaldetecting9259]

Great hunt Brad. Congrats on the coins and relics! That is one tiny thimble lol! Good job. The deep woods holds a lot more than folks think. We like getting out there and just wandering around, lots of stuff from hunters over the years. Stay safe and all the best!

[@normawinton6832]

Nice variety of stuff and things! Congrats!

[@raymondleverenz8645]

Very cool finds very cool

[@MikeMcInroe]

You are on fire dude! Just figured out why the smoke coming up from your back....bug repelente..right? And very nice review on the XP....just may have to give that one a try myself in the future! Thanks for posting Brad. Mike in sunny Florida

[@ducttapedigger7811]

I thought he was on fire also

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

@@ducttapedigger7811 Same here; I was wondering if he'd realized it. He doesn't strike me as a smoker.

[@torrielandsman4625]

I like smoking bug repellant too LoL you see the smile on Brads face? what do you think the smoke is coming from?

[@Ethan.s..]

Looks like he was holding a cigarette in his hand out of the view of the camera. It’s a tough habit to kick.

[@GMMD]

It’s a thermacell, bug repellent

[@twots22]

Great finds Brad! Enjoy the show. Keep on rocking & swingin

[@dorothymccullough3639]

Really do enjoy the. Show

[@bartleylitts3112]

When I lived up north and dropped something in the snow and couldn't I'd say 'see you in the spring'. So I'm not too surprised at the coins being lost by them. Great video.

[@PALM311]

Sometimes when detecting the Adirondacks I look out across that range pass lake Champlain to the Green mountains wondering if you're up there detecting at the same time! LOL you got some great finds that's for darn sure! You know I'm not so sure that there was a broken key it almost looked like it could have been from an old oil lamp that would hang from a ceiling they had that piece that was on the bottom kind of as a decorative piece but also to screw the whole thing together and it really looks like that to me but I could be wrong. Anyway.. great video I enjoy watching. How you liking that ORX? I know I love mine! Stay safe and happy Hunting! ~Paul

[@gregperry8518]

AWESOME video Brad. You find some great stuff really enjoy your videos makes you feel like your almost there with you. I will have to check out those detectors...i use the Whites MX Sport.. well Brad can not wait for your next video thanks for sharing and good luck on future hunts..Take care.

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

Frozen locks in winter are tough on keys too, Brad. Rock on.

[@patg6705]

OMGosh I love that thimble

[@kayesdigginit1519]

You found relics from the entire time period that the residents were there ☺️. Excellent hunt & video as always 😃

[@RJ-oe7by]

When I was 14 or 15, I'd amuse myself by burying quarters in old 35mm film canisters, make a treasure map. and try to find them later in the summer (early 60's). I'm sure kids did the same years ago. I never found them all.

[@sharonbartlett4307]

I was about the same age at the same time and I never buried coins because I was too busy finding them. Where I grew up there used to be a train track that ran next to our property. The tracks weren't there anymore but my brother and I found several items of interest and a lot of old coins also. I don't know why the passengers lost so many coins and things unless perhaps there was a depot that stood where our property was. We found Indian heads, buffalo nickels, liberty dimes, etc.. all that is gone now, giving way to "progress ", they built an eight lane highway through there.

[@ram1brn]

love the technical term turney part of the key.. Lost their coins pulling out a handkerchief or a pocket knife

[@brianhammond81]

You should do a like a best of finds video it would be awesome to see all of your finds

[@bobmanzi7712]

what was the smoke all about?

[@GMMD]

Thermacell

Another amazing outing. Definitely envious of your are for metal detecting. History is so much more rewarding than finding a ring.

[@damhall9300]

Thanks for preserving our past )

[@michaelklinge1857]

I have the xp Deus hf it's one of the best machines I've used and the only one I take back packing I also own a Equinox 800 also a top performer a great beach machine and all arounder the xp Deus seems to do better at old house sites and trashy areas thanks for the video

[@suziperret468]

Cool! Maybe generations of the same family. Love the tiny thimble…for the pinky finger perhaps…Thanks Brad!

[@JohnP538]

Sewing was a necessary talent for a young girl to learn in the 1700 and 1800's. So tiny thimbles would definitely be a thing.

[@jacshop6683]

Learning to sew was important to young men and women of that era .

[@sherylwheelon9679]

Using thimbles when doing the needle work samplers too I imagine! 💖

[@citrinpferdefreund124]

[@roamsweethome4895]

Thanks for “showcasing” the more affordable XP detector. This one is on my purchase list, once my bus decides to stop nickel and dime-ing me to death. Have you considered, (or already published, a metal detector’s findings guide for those of us who are just starting out or not as search savvy as you?

[@Leonlavoe1973]

Is the coil metal detector water proof?
