Treasures Found Where I LEAST Expected | Metal Detecting Adventure

[@GarnetCarmichael]

This is the channel that succeeded purely on merit. Not by promoting products or by horn blowing. Good to see in amongst the product driven channels incubating on KZbin. Thanks for the video.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the kind words!!

[@randallhemingway7284]

[@vtvtutube]

You never fail to create high quality video adventures Brad. In addition to the quest for historical coins and artifacts your appreciation for nature greatly enhances your productions. A real credit to Vermont and the KZbin community. Thanks!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the kind words Jon!!

[@Steve-Pitt]

Best produced relic hunting videos anywhere. Look forward to them every week as much as any series on television. Been Relic Hunting in Virginia since 1982 and this is the next best thing to getting out in the woods!

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear that, thanks so much for the kind words!!

[@wendyvan7823]

I love that you stop to smell the roses! Thanks for your hard work and sharing!

[@janwarriner5037]

What an amusing story about your childhood dog! As I watched you I thought of the serenity of being in the woods. I envy you. You found some interesting old finds. Finds that were From the beginning of our country. What a fertile area you live near to discover these remnants of the past. I can almost envision the men walking along the "road" not realizing they've lost something that is found 200 years later! They tell a story. Great video as usual.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Jan, thanks for the kind words!!

[@DigginWithDeej]

Manganese Dioxide was used in glass prior to 1914. That is why the glass turns purple when left in sunlight. Great video as always!

[@Wilderness_Recon]

The only weekly video upload on KZbin I look forward to. Well edited, knowledgeable, great footage and awesome finds. The Les Stroud of the metal detecting world in my book which is a very good thing!

[@masonb4620]

Check out the hoover boys. They are very good as well.

[@clayn931]

Check out Stealth Diggers

[@Wilderness_Recon]

Watched several videos from both. Still no comparison imo. Thanks for the suggestions though.

[@danielburgess7785]

Editing skills with music and location shifts has improved by leaps and bounds. He's worked to improve his skill set.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Tom, I love Les!

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Had fun too! Thanks for the great hunt!

[@pamelagrzegorowicz9513]

Great hunt thanks for the fine video I was out with a friend hunting today and we spoke about your channel and videos with praise. We did not fair as you did on our back roads but still had a great time. My thanks

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, that’s great to hear! The adventure with friends is the true treasure!

[@philipwolf825]

you have some of the prettiest places to detect, the finds are just a bonus,great photos thanks

[@thrisonly1]

Not sure if I can rustle up any great words regarding your latest BUT, perhaps, outstanding is a good start. Considering you didn't expect much, the results were/are incredibly exciting. Love the bottle--fantastic find! The coins, buttons, horse tack & you found what you lost a few years ago. Can't get much better than that! Another spendid adventure and I thank you for sharing.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Jorja!

[@barbedstar6480]

Half of a snaffle bit...small end is middle. Long shanks going both ways keeps bit from pulling through horses mouth. Just super enjoy your videos. Two favorites - Green Mountain Metal Detecting and Firebox...out in the REAL world with great photography!

[@ellengallerani9836]

Yes, you are right, full cheek snaffle bit.

[@honda86tb]

I absolutely love these videos. The history and knowing you’re the first person to see these things in a hundred, two hundred years… amazing.

[@ralphcossairt1476]

Well done! Enjoyed the video. The underwear button story...then you finding your own lost item...cracked me up. Nice finds...and I really like the bottle. Take care!

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear you enjoyed it Ralph, thanks for watching!

[@roseypeacock9722]

I am disabled and love watching your videos, so thank you. Keep looking and finding, cheers!

[@ShotofWry]

Awesome hunt! Congrats on the coppers! The Byars bottle is slug-plated with what looks to be an early, hand-tooled crown top. Check the seam, if it's a blown bottle the seam will ghost out just below the lip. The purpling places it pre-1915. I 'd guess 1892-1915.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the info, the seam indeed disappears below the lip!

[@jimh309]

The best find'em dig'em channel on the internet!

[@GMMD]

Thanks Jim, glad you think so!

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Many great finds today, probably the best was your key holder from the wife! Most definitely the TOPPER of the day! Some great pieces of history found up on an old road on a mountain! HH and GL on the next!

[@Jb-rp2wm]

I so look forward to your videos. I live in Florida and we get nothing like you do up in Vermont. Keep up the great work!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!!

[@bctw9004]

Great video again Brad! I loved following those old road ways as a kid trying to figure out where they went and why. Loved following rock walls for miles!

[@GMMD]

I love doing it as an adult, haha!

[@therealwillywacker]

Great day, no rain...:-) and you got your keyring back! Nice finds, awesome old bottle. Filling with an good old Whisky... Have a nice sunny weekend and thanks for sharing!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, you as well!

[@Bebbis77]

I watch a Mudlarker who is in London, and she finds buttons similar to the four hole one often. She has found Tudor era coins as well, blows my mind. Nichola White is her name. Some of her finds are fascinating. If I am not mistaken she might have started using a detector here and there.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Amazing day in the woods with some great finds. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to your next adventure. Take care.

[@katiedeepbeep7130]

Thank you for another excellent video! The Vermont woods are beautiful. You edit so well and we enjoy seeing your historic finds. God is with you because whenever I pull a bottle out of the ground, it’s broken... Happy Hunting and be safe!

[@Murmart]

Thank you for your channel. I’m over in NY Albany area. Just started detecting but I have subscribed to your channel for a few years. I appreciate your enthusiasm and it has encouraged me to detect. Looking forward to future adventures your and mine.

[@joejackson9343]

Thanks Another great video. The coins, leather and rivet along with your belt were great finds. You have very good video skills. I love the scenery as much as the finds. Always top notch. Always look forward to next video.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the kind words Joe, so glad to hear that!!

[@clivewarren780]

I am always amazed at your coin finds. I have never found a coin while detecting, nor have i found anything older than the 1930s. I would lose my mind if i found a coin from the 17-1800s. But i suppose you are used to finding them. Excellent video as always good sir, and happy friday to you.

[@christophermason8151]

Yeah if I found all the stuff he found in this video, I wouldn't be able to leave. I would be out there for days. lol

[@michelewestover9330]

Christopher Mason me too! They’d have to send a search party and drag me off the mountain!!

[@GMMD]

Thanks Clive! I think you're right that it's just what you get used to, but I still get very excited when I see any big copper coin in the clump!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I showed my sister some of your still shots of the scenery in this video. She now sees why I consider Vermont to be one of the most beautiful states 💖

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear that, Kaye!

[@Greengrass1972]

Great adventure, thank you for letting us join you, amazing filming as always Brad, keep up the good work,

[@ErlefromVa]

Unexpectedly Fantastic Day for sure! A button day and a few Largies despite not finding a hole! Great to see a turkey, and always fun following you along the trails less traveled.... Sweet Bottle & HH

[@GMMD]

Thanks again!!

[@MerrylBustin]

Love the finds, well done! Your strap was never lost, only waited for your return to pick it up! ; )

[@GMMD]

Haha good point! Thanks for watching!

[@kingklad4244]

Nice digs! As always love the nature shots, makes it so much more interesting, Thanks!!

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear that, I love filming them!

[@larrysimmons7084]

Thank you for another excellent video. I try to save your videos until Sunday morning, try to get up early, before kids, cup of coffee, and have my morning Zen, which is your latest video. It’s like 20 minutes of peace and quiet, beautiful scenery, and awesome finds. I do have a couple of questions. How did you get into detecting? Do you watch any other detectorists on KZbin? Who are your favorites to watch? Thanks again for taking us along on another adventure. Larry ~Dirt Nerds

[@GMMD]

That’s great Larry, so glad to hear that! If you check out the live stream I did back in May I talk about all your questions, it’s quite long but the time stamps are in the description!

[@larrysimmons7084]

Thank you, I will check that out.

[@rogerm.8134]

Awesome video once again, I could watch your adventures all day! Thanks again for the great cinematography and your knowledge of the past.

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear that, Roger! Thanks for the kind words!

[@michelewestover9330]

Another great video Brad. Thanks so much! Congratulations on all of your discoveries!!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Michele!

[@larrystephens7437]

Beautiful fungi! Nice touch to the editing. Well done as always.

[@TheFuel89]

When I was a kid we had a dog that used to eat blueberries straight out of the bush. It was hilarious. Great to know there are other dogs that enjoy eating berries!

[@steveroush4147]

Great show today Brad, wish I could be with you in those mountains.

[@malbrech1]

Nice finds. I really like the bottle. I think it was really neat that you found your strap. GL & HH

[@chrisevans7979]

My favorite get-away adventure! Love you rhetoric, and filming. Thanks for taking us along!

[@GMMD]

Thanks for coming along, Chris!

[@deftone366]

You had me tricked with the ol' "neh let's leave it".... Great adventures per usual!

[@GMMD]

Haha thanks a lot!

[@jaybales3160]

Congratulations on your discoveries. Good find of your lost property 🤫. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

[@tennesseegem1063]

Good video Brad and some cool finds. That was so neat that you found something you lost 8 years before. Good job brother. HH. Jim

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot Jim!

[@janedevoe3512]

I really enjoy your videos. Always interesting and the fact you explain your finds is awesome. It’s beautiful where you are.

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear that Jane, thanks for watching!

[@jeffadams7]

Another great hunt Brad! You never disappoint

[@bradleyleben7785]

I have dug up that very same bottle in bottle dumps. I use to dig the old bottles to sell to get my back to school money. I would walk the stone walls and find where the old farms stead would deposit there trash. Pownel was my favorite hunting ground in the early 70s. Great video! Thanks Brad

[@GMMD]

Awesome Bradley, that sounds like a blast!!

[@Brigantine2008]

Great video. Always a good watch

[@GMMD]

Thanks for watching Mike!

[@toveirenbecker2471]

Greetings from Norway🇳🇴 The reason a leather piece close to some metals can survive in the ground for centuries, is due to copper and alloys with copper - like for example brass, bronze, cupronickel, copper-nickel-zinc -are natural antimicrobial materials. Most of the leather in a lost belt may be gone, but the learher close to the buckle may still be there. Keep up the good work, GMMD. 🌻

[@Ginab394]

I am up to date on all your videos just finished watching your live stream 2021. It’s always fun to go back a few years and watch these over and it’s crazy but I can remember almost all your videos. I love the music I love the treasure hunt and the way you make us feel like we are on the hunt with you. Keep doing what you do Brad so many of us love you.

[@brock8801]

You do a great job making your videos by far the best metal detecting channel on KZbin

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much!

[@IanYGath]

Another awesome video, nice finds, great scenery and some amazing close-up nature shots. Thanks. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[@jamesmassey6690]

Once again another fine video. Thanks again for sharing. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@digginghistorytasmania3897]

Awesome hunt and finds love the soda bottle that’s awesome thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍

[@GMMD]

Thank YOU for watching!!

[@kathy073100]

New to your channel. Really enjoying your finds and that it isn’t as much about value as it is about history. Thanks for sharing!

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear that Kathy, thanks for watching!

[@greghanlon2235]

The finds and scenery are nice, but it's your photography of the wildlife that's outstanding. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@GMMD]

So glad to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@rachaelp5707]

The horse tack is half, of what’s called a Full cheek snaffle bit. Still in use today.

[@susanpohlers2638]

I just came down to the comments to say that was half of a snaffle bit but I see you got it covered :)

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Horses haven't changed much in the last couple of centuries! Lol...love the finds here!

[@Sibes3]

Oh, you just brought back so many memories! As a child our dog 'Daisy' would also eat the blackberries from a bush. Her and I would both gorge on them. lol Lovin' your videos. I'm itching to go back metal detecting but we're in the middle of winter and snow here.

[@RETROGEMBOUTIQUE]

Love you vids...Love the blackberries!! We pick them as we go to!!

[@ReconScoutMedic]

Your videos never disappoint ... thank you

[@jburritt426]

How fun. It is so fun to see the history you find here.

[@timg5014]

I absolutely love everything about your videos. Only one thing missing, me. So jealous of your hunts and cinematic skill.

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Tim!

[@travissmith7412]

That noise the turkey made is an alarm they make when in a group to let other turkeys know there is danger near

[@hoperp1951]

One reason the leather with the Copper rivet has lasted is because Copper is poisonous to many organisms. The area of leather closest to the rivet will have been protected by the Copper killing many of the bugs and organisms that would have eaten or rotted it. Typical example of this used commercially is the Copper sheathing they put on old ships bottoms, stopped and or killed anything from growing there.

[@GMMD]

Interesting, thanks for the info Richard!

[@floridagulfcoasthomebuyers445]

Wow...this is great information I wouldn’t have know if it were not for reading the comments here! Thx so much for sharing R!!

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Koppertox is used to cure thrush infections in horse hooves too. Copper is very effective as a medicine!

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Great stuff as always and thanks for sharing!

[@ronbisbal5296]

With all the craziness going on in the world it’s sure nice to come home from work and relax and smile along with one of your vids my friend, God Bless you and please continue to to be a blessing 👍 from Texas

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much Ron!

[@sammccloud3395]

Nice finds and love that the bottle is complete. The bit looks to be an Oxen bit by the look of it.

[@degenerati]

You really featured some interesting bits of nature this time. The brown mushrooms near the big rocks are just amazing ; it’s probably the camera angle that made them look so huge, right ? Congrats on all the new subscribers ! Your channel is really growing now, and honestly, I really look forward to your vids because your appreciation for nature is really refreshing. Another very well edited , and history enthused channel I really dig is Terra Germania (sp?). The laws for detectorists in Germany are pretty strict , but the bonus is that there are regional archaeologists that detectorists get to consult with about their finds which is pretty cool. If you haven’t seen it already check it out. I think that channel and yours are the best out there right now, so thanks for the consistently good uploads !

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot! Those brown mushrooms were in fact, massive! Partly why I wanted to capture them on film! Thanks for watching!

[@michelewestover9330]

I ❤️❤️ Terra Germania. He hasn’t put a video out for a while😞. I watch a KZbinr from Alaska and she showed mushrooms that were white with an orange top- they were as big as her hand!!! The mushrooms looked like the ones you see drawn in children’s story books!!

[@dygger60]

Another great video...I can just guess the peace and solitude one experiences...awesome finds...I like how ya tie them into history and let everyone know the circa of your finds.....thanks again!!

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, David! Thanks for watching!

[@davidwhite9045]

Who would ever thought going metal detecting would get you out of the dog house. Awesome video showing nature and finds

[@joebrown1382]

Nice finds Brad love the bottle. Crazy you found that key ring after all these years. Nice editing.

[@terranceanthon5182]

Another great video Brad.I swear you guys on the right coast find large cents likel we do wheaties.Its so not fair. Coral mushroom edible and delicious fyi.maybe someday you'll take a liking to mushrooms like you do blackberries... That bottle I would put 1900 to 1910 assuming the seem stops part way up the neck.If it was 1882 it would be a blobtop for sure.Nice bottle classic shape. I grew up in St Louis digging bottles.That was my thing. Anymore updates on the big Spanish coin you found?What its possibly worth and so fourth?? Thanks again for your videos Brad. Can tell alot of care goes into making them besides the energy to climb those hills.Bravo! T

[@GMMD]

Thanks for all the info Terrance, you're right that the seam fades out partway up! No appraisal on the Reales, but it is in fact a period counterfeit most likely produced by Britain in the 1790s!

[@dianaparker2949]

Beautiful video! Your mystery item is, in fact, a horse bit but only 1/2. The other 1/2 is a mirror image. The halves connect via the small circle in the center. This type of bit is called a snaffle or broken bit and when used properly is considered to be a gentler type compared to a solid bar bit. Nice finds out there! See you next week. Happy hunting!

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much for the info Diana!

[@garyvandeputte4047]

My neighbors dog used to stick his head through the fence and eat every berry he could reach. Must be a genetic thing. Great utube channel I love it and have told many others about it. Keep up the great work.

[@TheGatechBuzz]

I love the areas you detect in. Beautiful country!!! I love the outdoors!!!

[@BrentnDodger]

That is a cool bottle, wish I could see the color. Glad you found your lost key chain.

[@monkcheetah8203]

That sound the turkey made is the warning Cluck. Turkey hunters hate that call. It means u been had. Love the old bottle 👍

[@orscrub3161]

another great video! what great finds! only in my dreams! have a great weekend!

[@ageranger1541]

Another excellent video, thanks.

[@Laura-vv6cf]

Thanks for sharing! Vermont is such a beautiful state. My first dog went wild blackberry picking once with me and a friend. He didn't eat any, but did bring me a ground hog!

[@GMMD]

Haha sounds like quite the dog Laura!

[@Bell2trac]

Great video with lovely scenery and eclectic variety of finds, funny story about your dog and the berries, we had a dog that loved corn on the cob and whenever we had it my mom would make two ears for Jingles! It was a sight to see Jingles lay on the ground eating the corn and rolling it with her paws, she would stat at one end of the yard and end at the other with the cob picked clean and then she would start all over again with the second ear!

[@marymisdom3955]

I had a cat that would eat corn on the cob. He would gnaw it in a straight row. He also liked green olives.

[@GMMD]

Haha great story and memories!

[@carolv8450]

Had a cat that loved cooked green beams! He would sit at table and take green beans off plate with paw. We have one daughter and we would call him our son. :-)

[@Ржавыеликивойны]

Many interesting finds! Good video.

[@okiedoki]

Great Video & Nice Hunt ..Thank you for sharing..

[@SilverGorilla1776]

I’m gonna try to sneak up on a turkey..crunch..crunch. Lol. Love your channel!!

[@riconagrom5999]

The button master strikes again! And a few nice coins as well! I’d grab a few lbs of those blackberries in a week or two, make some wine and some jam! Good hunting Brad!

[@GMMD]

Haha thanks Rick!!

[@normawinton6832]

Congrats on the 2 draped busts and KG. Wish i could find my first large cent. I know it will happen some day lol. Nice assortment of buttons and the pewter spoon bowl was a plus. I alway find the rivits without the leather so coodles on that. I live in mo. And the town i live in was founded in 1827 so im hoping for a shoe buckl, that would be stretching it a bit but ya never no. HH!

[@GMMD]

I'm sure it will happen soon, Norma! Good luck out there!

[@christophermason8151]

Man you find some great stuff. Just imagine what else is out there hiding. That bottle was really cool. Looks like it would be from around 1900 to 1910 but I'm sure you already looked it up and know more than me. lol. Great video.

[@GMMD]

Thanks a lot Christopher, I believe you're right! Thanks for the info!

[@downinthemuff]

Really enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing your adventures with us, very grateful 😊

[@GMMD]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@howarddenney5331]

Love the shirt Brad and thanks for the decals!👍

[@GMMD]

Glad to hear they arrived safely Howard!

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

Great video ..Over here if the glass turns purple ,it is before 1910.. So it could be back in the 1800's.. Well done..

[@GMMD]

Cool! Thanks for the info!

[@ranchstockstray8684]

Berry eaters...I had a large pot of strawberries on my patio. They kept disappearing as soon as they ripened. I blamed the Blue Jays until I caught my Corgi in the act!

[@GMMD]

Haha!

[@pamelagrzegorowicz9513]

My corgi will pick her own blue berries so cute

[@butchbragg6116]

I love all your videos you should have at least a million subscribers thanks for taking the time putting together the great videos thsnks brotha

[@GMMD]

Thanks so much, Butch! Tell your friends!

[@jeflogos9204]

11:54 Him: "Yup, that's mine. It was an expensive gift from my wife and she doesn't even know I lost it. Shhh..." Me: You do know you just ratted yourself out when she watches this right? 🤣🤣🤣

[@SueGirling68]

Hi, the horse bit you found is indeed as bit and I believe that one is called a Fulmers Snaffle bit. Great hunt, awesome. Thank you. x

[@GMMD]

Thanks for the info, Sue!!

[@SueGirling68]

You're welcome, I used to own horses and have been around them all my life so I recognised it :).

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

I would give anything to have access to property that would have or even could have. I just Love your Videos. Thx you work so hard and I want you to know I really appreciate it. LOVED THE BOTTLE. THAT ONE WAS REALLY COOL. 🤣

[@SuperLaplander]

Very nice episode. Well done!

[@snowiowl826]

Back in the day, my son's dog, a Chocolate Lab mix, would also go berry picking with us. While we were getting stuck by the little thorns he just stuck his little nose in the bush, and pulled those berries off without a whimper. He enjoyed them just as much as we did. 😊

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for sharing.

[@swflKVNC]

You did not lose that keychain...just left it there for safe keeping!

[@GMMD]

Haha that's what I told my wife

[@bootlegbill63]

Always look forward to Friday morning and your vids,I remember when I was a kid hiking with my dad and our dog would eat blueberries off the bushes Thanks for sharing

[@GMMD]

Those sound like great memories Bill, thanks for watching!

[@QuestForDetails]

I like when you show the buttons, good stuff!!
