As someone who had lead poisoning for over 2 years without knowing it (from historic home renovations), being very sick most of that time, then taking several years to recover, i have anxiety watching someone handle pure lead 😳 To think they handled that stuff, breathed it in while working with it....I can't even imagine how sick our ancestors were and didn't realize it was the lead!
Hey Brad! I've been watching your channel for a year or so now and I really love what you do. I got my mom into your channel and she just surprised me with a GMMD Keychain! I love that you signed it yourself, and made a quality product. I appreciate everything you do! She is so hooked that she bought her first metal detector! So glad to see you continue awesome work. I'm really tickled to death when she suprised me with it today! Again, thank you for creating such beautiful work. I hope that you and your family are safe in these turbulent time.
I didn’t care much for history class in school. They should teach It differently and ignite the students imagination. Your videos are a history lesson and fun and exciting. I am not saying take students metal detecting. Maybe invite a guy like you to their class and let you show them some history. Thank you for all of your work and these amazing videos. Oh by the way I am watching so closely that I am waving the flies away. 🤓
@@aurinslady7119 I watch a lot of RUclips but I tell you Brad's videos are definitely my favorite there's just something about the way he makes his videos I I just think he's great. But I do worry about him LOL
This place shouted gentleman's hunting retreat. Quite common in the UK to find a building in a remote area used as such. Lost shoe buckles, lead for making balls, buttons, horse tack and axes. Aside from some spoons nothing 'homely' or feminine.
I was going to suggest a Transitory 'situation.' With everything, except the axes, those items would fit in with a Church or meeting house, as well. Perhaps the axes were needed to build the structure. Your suggestions better fits the location.
Lead, different shoe buckles and a lot of different buttons. Regrettably it appears good men died here. No doubt it could have been an unrecorded lodge, a meeting place for people dedicated to the crown or American milita. My wife came up with this hypothesis and I added a few guesses. In respect for the possibilities that lie within.
Hi Brad, another great video. When you were talking about bears and various critters it reminded me of something which I hope you'll all find amusing. While exploring an old temple in Jordan my (ex) wife was about 5 yards behind me. I suddenly heard hissing. For some stupid reason I thought "sounds like a gas leak". (not many snakes in the the UK). I looked down and there was a snake which disappeared between some rocks. I turned to my (ex) wife and said "snake". We hadn't been married very long and I didn't know that she was paranoid about snakes. Two seconds later she was about 100 yards away, there was also some screaming involved. I bet she broke all Olympic records on that dash :) I love your channel but you should travel to Europe one day and find much older artefacts.
Thanks Brad for saying your name right up front. And for showing us a picture of someone actually wearing a knee buckle. Those little pictures really help us see how they were used back in the day! Another excellent video and thanks! Mike in sunny Florida
Hi Brad!!! I think you have been selected to be the "steward" of the Croatal or Jingle Bells and shoe buckles, maybe even the axheads!!! You always seem to find one or all each time you are in your Vermont woods!! And... You are just as happy about it each time!! 🤗😊😊
You found the "Vermont Mountain Top Dance Hall", real popular back in the 1790's, kind of faded out in the 1820's . Once a week that would also have axe throwing contests. 🤗 uh huh , that's how I heard it 😉.....
Congratulations Brad on the excellent discoveries. Saving history one artifact at a time. Surprised there were no coins. Looking forward to your next next hunt for artifacts and treasure.
Thanks, Brad. It doesn't matter that you didn't find anything of great value. That's not the point. It's nice when you make some fantastic find, but the real point is you showing off the history and the beauty of the gorgeous State you live in. Keep up the good work! Your videos are one of the high points of my week!
Brad, your imagination is just great. That is what leads to discovery and learning. Thank you so much for your beautiful and informative videos. Been a longtime fan in Kentucky!
You need an Aussie cork hat. In Australia in the 19th and early 20th centuries, people in rural areas wore broad brimmed hats with corks suspended from the brim which moved slightly as people walked and were very effective at keeping bugs away. These are rarely worn today except as costumes.
I saw this on Facebook about 2:30 PM today but I'm going to wait until later this evening to watch it. Your video's are like sitting down with a good book and a cup of coffee, something to anticipate and appreciate.
Hey Brad, Thanks for another great day in the Vermont woodlands hunting for artifacts .. I previously commented about living on the Mosquito Coast in Florida and how relentless the mosquitos are here .. Having moved from Northwestern Vermont to the "mosquito coast," ... After watching your wonderful video today with you swatting at the clustering Black Flies, I'll quietly admit that my memory failed me when comparing the Vermont Black Fly season to our Mosquito season .. Vermonts Black Fly season wins, hands down!
Great finds! Always love coming to your channel and seeing what your up to, and the best part no politics just good wholesome content and a glimpse of the past.
There were a lot of bugs in this video. What do you think about trying a mosquito net clip on veil for your cap bill during the buggy season? Thank you for the fun.
Hi Brad, wow 4 shoe buckles that is awesome, I'm agree that they could well have been either shoemakers or buckle makers perhaps ??. Some great finds on this trip, congrats. Thank you for sharing, much love to you and your family. xx💖
My weekend can commence on a good note as I've watched another wonderful GMMD Brad Martin video 😃 More awesome finds with some of your favorite items found; shoe buckles 👍 Thank you for making you treks into the mountains and enduring those horrible black flies; you cheer many of us up every week 🤗
Someone had a shoe fetish! Thanks for bringing us along Brad. I thoroughly enjoy your videos from all aspects...music, cinematography, history, creativity and most importantly your personality. Love what you do my friend!
Hey Brad- love the channel! I am in hinesburg, so it’s cool to see. Have you considered a beekeepers hat? It has a see through screen and I’m telling you it’s a game changer
With all of the uses that they had for lead, I was wondering if you ever came across any historical documentation of it's effect upon people's general health back in the colonial era? I am almost 70 years old and I can remember helping my father melt lead back when I was a boy. He was a plumber and pipe-fitter and they still used lead to join the old cast iron sewer pipes. My Dad died at age 35 with lesions in his esophagus and bowels and I always wondered if the amount of lead fumes that he ingested contributed to his death.
I was wondering about something along those lines, too. I know old pewter contained lead and I wonder if it is safe to handle deteriorating lead and pewter finds…
I don't personally like the Deus, but I will still watch your videos if you start using dowsing rods, and talking about conspiracy theories. I'm on board regardless.😎 Say hi to Eddie for me! You guys stay safe!
Only a true Vermonter can chuckle about being chewed alive by the dreaded Black Fly. LOL. Excellent video as always Brad. Love your Drone footage. Thanks 👍🙏✌️
Could be a Colonial Hunt Camp. I would think even in the 1700's guys would leave Town or Cities or Farms to go out hunting with friends and neighbors and have a place to stay if they were hunting for days or a week. Even back then needed some relaxing time and drink! Great cache of buckles and buttons! Great Job Brad !!
Hey Brad don't forget that the Deus coil & arm removes from the shaft or "control handle" for those low surface swings or when you're down on your knees.
Hi Brad. Great vid. I just wanted to say That 50 something years ago my buddies and I got into digging through old cellar holes in our area. Most were abandoned in the 1800s and early 19s. We never found gold, coins or jewels which is what we were looking for. We did find loads of belts, buckles, rotted clothing and especially old shoes. Throughout my life I've been around a lot of old farms and property that had history. All the barns had a spot with old coveralls boots and shoes tossed in a corner or hung on a nail. It's still that way. keep up the good work. Take care. Frank in Mass.
Hi Brad, i simply love you, your videos, your music, your detecting, your history telling, your filming, I can go on and on. Thank you, Joyce. Connecticut,U.S.A.🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱
I see that you found Old One-Legged Pete's cabin site, Brad! That brass thing with the hole in it is the tip of his peg leg and all of those shoe buckles without finding a matching set... well... you know.
I don't know if anyone mentioned but yes Vicks Vapor rub does help keep some of the bugs away. I also use a cup of vinegar with two cups of water and d a 1/4 teaspoon of dish soap in a spray bottle while I walk to spray on myself it helps too with biting flies. We love your channel wonderful videoghraphy and the history you give behind each find.
Great Adventure, Brad, shame about the blackflies, you need a bee-keeper's mask! Great finds - you'd love to know the story - perhaps there were four old Colonials sat round the table when set upon by vagabonds... Or in a carriage run off the tracks... So did the owner keep it all? Would be good to see some of this stuff cleaned up... 🦘🐾👍😎
I looked up the term “cellar holes” to see if they were actual things. Thanks for introducing me to a new term. Every now and then a cool video like this gets “Recommended”, so I’m not hip to this stuff unlike everyone else in this Comment Section. It seems like it’s full of experts!
Great finds!! Just PM. you, hope to gear up & hit the vack woods on the family land again. SUCKS we missed one another last summer!!!!! Looking forward to hearing from you.
Your videos are history lessons indeed! I look forward to Fridays for your posts. I also like your amazing video skills! Did anyone notice at the scenery cutaway at 13:30 the humming birds? Brad did you and that's why you used that segment? Superb!
Brad, awesome finds. I guess the site may have belonged to a cobbler or a shoe buckle Smith? I feel your frustrations with the black flies, tiss the season, got a place in the central Adirondacks of New York. I enjoy the history that you add to your videos, it gives a better understanding of a bygone era. Dirty hands are happy hands 😉👍
Well with all the single styles of shoe buckles a single knee buckle, some lead and buttplate from a pistol, maybe it was an old retired one legged pirate hiding out in the mountains.......hahahah thanks for sharing
I grew up on my grandfathers dairy farm in Stanford Vermont. It was located at the top of Sumner road. My uncles always told me grandpa hated banks and would bury his silver dollars inside lead pipes around the farm but no one ever knew where or ever found any. I now live on my farm in central Illinois. Last time I was there, 1990, there was nothing left but the foundations of the house, barn and saw mill. When I look at satellite pictures it all looks different now. My grandfather was Eugene Sumner. He was the county sheriff, the county game warden and the county road commissioner during his life there.

Would the more curved shoe buckle be from a ladies shoe ?

Masne person who lost shoe buckle running from one that lost axe
This channel should be a school a requirement on historical studies, thanks Brad you make learning fun !!
As someone who had lead poisoning for over 2 years without knowing it (from historic home renovations), being very sick most of that time, then taking several years to recover, i have anxiety watching someone handle pure lead 😳 To think they handled that stuff, breathed it in while working with it....I can't even imagine how sick our ancestors were and didn't realize it was the lead!

I am a retired teacher and I have done that but used the detector to illustrate science principles
I totally agree! Brad is not out there just to find treasure, he is there because he loves to bring history to life!👍
I’m the oddball. I love early American history, with a passion for the history of Oregon where I’m from.
Always cool finds. Friday morning coffee and GMMD are a great way to start the day.
I agree
It's how I know it's the start of my weekend!

I thought the owners had a dog that had a fancy for shiny buckles!
Lead, different shoe buckles and a lot of different buttons. Regrettably it appears good men died here.

Awesome finds. Greetings to you and your family and of course the great Eddy. All be well and safe. Chuck in NJ
Really nice finds. Does look like a butt cap to a pistol or firearm.
Congratulations Brad on the excellent discoveries. Saving history one artifact at a time. Surprised there were no coins. Looking forward to your next next hunt for artifacts and treasure.
Nice! Thanks for taking us on another great adventure!
Great digs! Pretty country!! Stay safe! 😁😁😘
That was a great day to "buckle" down and learn the XP!
😂😂
The buckles obviously came from a one-legged man.
I started to say the same thing lol
Maybe get some netting that bee keeper's use to cover your head!
Awesome buckles, Brad! Gotta love those!
Great video!!! Suspenseful and informative!!! I loved it!!! Yay!!!

Thank you always a great Video. Really love Nature.and your Music really enhances the experience. Good Luck in New York. Be safe & tc .
Nicely done! Thanks for enduring the bugs for us🦟

I love your excitement for all your finds and love hearing information that you have about them.
Great finds! Love your videos.
Great hunt! Awesome Colonial shoe buckles and buttons!
admire your tenacity to detect amongst the onslaught of insects...
Been watching for awhile now and I gotta say I live your videos...so well done and the music is all yours. Truly an artist.
Love to watch your videos!!! You are really knowledgeable about what you find great video!!!

He record car radiators. 🚗back in the day..
They are plastic now..

Say hi to Eddie for me! You guys stay safe!
Thanks for the video, entertaining as usual.
Enjoyed the walk along so much.
Thankyou, that was brilliant always look forward to your videos. It is amazing the different stories you could create just from metal pickings.
Really like a new intro thanks again for another great video!
What a great video. Thank you for what you do. Happy hunting!
Love those buckles and buttons. Thanks again for sharing another great hunt. Wishing you all the best. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Hey Brad don't forget that the Deus coil & arm removes from the shaft or "control handle" for those low surface swings or when you're down on your knees.
Hi Brad. Great vid. I just wanted to say That 50 something years ago my buddies and I got into digging through old cellar holes in our area. Most were abandoned in the 1800s and early 19s.

Great video! I have been using the deus for a year now. Perfect machine for old cellar holes! I love it!
Wow what a great place to detect. Love those buttons and buckles.

Thank you for the adventure and seeing some amazing finds ! Take care , stay safe and healthy there in Vermont ! Doing well here in Kansas !
I see that you found Old One-Legged Pete's cabin site, Brad! That brass thing with the hole in it is the tip of his peg leg and all of those shoe buckles without finding a matching set... well... you know.
Great haul Brad!
I would not fill safe up in the mountings with out a big gun you never no what might come at ya lol top video buddy
I believe he carries.
@@rppvt He does, but did not for this trip as he mentioned in the video.
Two particular things come to mind.... Deliverance and a stump. Always carry.
Well he said he was going to NY they hate guns jail big fines he’s not a criminal that they would let go
I don't know if anyone mentioned but yes Vicks Vapor rub does help keep some of the bugs away. I also use a cup of vinegar with two cups of water and d a 1/4 teaspoon of dish soap in a spray bottle while I walk to spray on myself it helps too with biting flies. We love your channel wonderful videoghraphy and the history you give behind each find.
Once again great video , love your adventures. Lol... Old brothel sight?
Amazing finds at an unknown place. Wow!
Lead was usually sold in 5lb. bars. Five bars usually attached to each other is 25lbs called "a pig of lead".
Great Adventure, Brad, shame about the blackflies, you need a bee-keeper's mask! Great finds - you'd love to know the story - perhaps there were four old Colonials sat round the table when set upon by vagabonds... Or in a carriage run off the tracks... So did the owner keep it all? Would be good to see some of this stuff cleaned up... 🦘🐾👍😎
Hi Brad when the owner tells you about a Cellar hole, how do you find the exact location? Do you have coordinate's?
I looked up the term “cellar holes” to see if they were actual things.
Thanks for introducing me to a new term. Every now and then a cool video like this gets “Recommended”, so I’m not hip to this stuff unlike everyone else in this Comment Section.
It seems like it’s full of experts!
Great finds!! Just PM. you, hope to gear up & hit the vack woods on the family land again. SUCKS we missed one another last summer!!!!! Looking forward to hearing from you.
Your videos are history lessons indeed! I look forward to Fridays for your posts. I also like your amazing video skills! Did anyone notice at the scenery cutaway at 13:30 the humming birds? Brad did you and that's why you used that segment? Superb!
At first I thought they were bugs.
A nice group of finds! It's neat that you found 4 shoe buckle's!
Awesome Brad, Colonial Shoe Buckles and Buttons...! Someone lived there.... Wonder who they were..? =)
Brad, awesome finds. I guess the site may have belonged to a cobbler or a shoe buckle Smith? I feel your frustrations with the black flies, tiss the season, got a place in the central Adirondacks of New York. I enjoy the history that you add to your videos, it gives a better understanding of a bygone era. Dirty hands are happy hands 😉👍
Well with all the single styles of shoe buckles a single knee buckle, some lead and buttplate from a pistol, maybe it was an old retired one legged pirate hiding out in the mountains.......hahahah
thanks for sharing
Wow! So many buckles at one sight. Nice! I sure wish I could joint you. I love going out but never know where to look.
I love your music!!
Interesting hunt Brad, dig on!
Always love your adventures ❤
Thank you Brad !
