Thank you. I totally enjoy your videos. I am almost 70 and starting metal detecting. We have found so many artifacts from the 1800s that are now in museums .
So happy for you! I’d give artifacts to the museum as well. To protect history and insure it’s not placed in the wrong hands, gifting to your local historical society/museum is the way to go. 💯
@rosegeaber7533 Do it! You won't regret it. Maybe get yourself a good entry metal detector like a simplex or a garrett, a pinpointer, a good shovel (black ada invader is good and cheap) and enjoy!
Brad you must be the first to ever metal detect that area!! Wonderful finds!! I love how you appreciate each and everything you recover. Makes me smile to see the thrill you get from your finds!💚💙✨
Hey Brad. I’m from Winnipeg and I watch a lot of metal detecting videos. To be honest I’m tired of seeing people finding pull tabs and stuff. I started watching your videos and they are so interesting and the way you present them. Thank you for the history lessons. No parks,no cars, no junk,just fresh air and beautiful scenery and landscape. 👍🇨🇦
Brad at 13:13 the metal tag. My grandfather worked in the iron mines of northern Minnesota and he had a tag similar to that one that was his employee tag. Great historical find. Love your videos.
The brass plate you found at the 15:30 mark appears to me to be upside-down. It looks like it may be a compass-caliper/divider-protractor combination. Perhaps off a ceremonial masonic or military engineer award piece or even a flagpole placard.
We really enjoy your video's. You mention about cleaning things up, and putting them on display. I really wish you would show us what these things look like cleaned up.
Hey Brad, use " EvapoRust" on those scissors! Non toxic bio degradeable makes my outdoor tools shine, also refurbishing a 1946 Dodge Power Wagon brake hubs. Worked great 👍😃
Enjoy the videos! I have dug and actually my first couple of large jobsites used tags like you dug. It was called “Brass Alley” and we would take our brass with our employee number on it in the morning. The timekeeper would then go in and whichever tags were still there would be the guys that did not show that day. During the day if we needed a “special” tool we would use our brass to check out the tool knowing we had to take the tool back before the end of the day to get the brass so that we could put our brass back in brass alley.
My favorite find of the video - the tag - I found a Miners Tally Tag about a month ago & cleaned it up. Now I wear it on my detecting videos. The historic stuff are the best detecting finds. My grandfather was a coal miner back in the day.
Not sure if anyone has already said it, but your "pendant" looks like a decorative piece that would go on mayb a jewelry box or something attached with small little nails at the you and bottom. What awesome finds! ❤❤
Another great video Brad. Lots of cool pieces of history. Mason found his first 2 cent piece on January 1 to start off this incredible year. Shoe buckle chape is my favorite, love how excited you get about shoe buckles still even though you have found so many. Definitely one of our favorite items to find too! Good luck on the next adventure and we are already looking forward to next Friday.
I usually watch this in the evening after work on Friday, a happy marker that the weekend has begun. I finished my job last Friday and get to watch this with morning cup of tea this Friday. Such a nice way to start the day!
Hey Brad, Good to see detecting videos are back. Really enjoy seeing the antique items that were once part of someone's life long ago. Stay Safe, Be Well
As with a lot of remote locations, farms in early America , many families had multi generations living together , grandparent , parents , there children, and even the children’s children lived together mixing several generations and wearing items that were passed down until it wore out or was broken or its was lost, that would explain item for 17th and 18th century together , as you said in many or your video’s, these people were poor and couldn’t afford much. Even today many farms are passed down to their family members, being from Oklahoma I’ve seen it first hand. Love your videos.
I had a client that had a dresser like the one you showed. We caregivers weren't allowed to touch it. It had come to her from her grandmother. It was gorgeous.
Though I’m in Texas, I’m a London mudlark with a permit - when visiting there I love looking for pottery (Roman, medieval and beyond) and clay pipes. I would have been looking at the pottery at your feet. What a surprise to see you find a pipe bowl!
Such a great lake hunt! Thanks for sharing, Brad! Your channel is #1 of the dozens of detecting channels I watch. Lakes are great places to explore. I have a lake near me with several old homesites going back to the original settlers in my area. Generations of finds laid on top of each other. Truly my best finds have come out at the lake. Many of the best are just lying on the shore. I have found 12 gold rings at that lake, all laying on the surface and not one was identified first with the metal detector. There are many thousands of pull tabs so sometimes just walking the shore is the most productive.
That container tag could also be a mineral tag. Not sure if you have any mines where your at but it could be. Used to show if a miner was underground working. Each employee had one with his number stamped on it
Great finds. Great adventure. I have always wanted to hunt treasures, but at my age,66, I just wish. The pendant looks like it could be a earring dangle, with other pieces that attached. Have a great weekend with family Brad.👍😘
I'd say your bit of jewelry at the end is more likely Art Deco or Art Nouveau than Victorian in style, so 1890s-1910 or so. Really nice! Maybe something from a lady's hat? Wonderful episode; out here in the Southwest you can pretty much expect sunken towns wherever we have reservoirs (and a lot of them were Native American, extremely old or recent) and there are some very stringent laws about metal-detecting around them; I'm glad you were able to check this one out-- you gave us a glimpse back into the past. :)
The 2 cent piece won the day. I found my first 2 weeks ago after detecting since 1967. Mine was a 1866. The candy cane is a forged tent stake I believe.
The Hook and Spike is hammered into an overhead or vertical beam and you hang your lantern on it. The long scissors are Dressmaking Shears. Great finds. I remember you did a beach on a reservoir before, a great place to detect. Nice finds.
Allot of finds Brad. Lakes are a great place to detect when the water drops. I have a lake close by that has several of gold mining town under it. But California has decided to not let anyone detect there as they’ve made everything over one hundred years old off limits. I guess the rangers have nothing better to do than hunt people down and take their equipment and finds. Of course there are no signs and they would rather the object rot away… John
The number tag is cool, In West Virginia I saw these used on pad locks for the gas company. It would sure make opening hundreds of locks easier if the key and lock have matching numbers.
I find your videos very enjoyable, always amazed with so many of your finds. I also worry when you go up in those mountains alone and do hope you always carry protection with you. Thanks entertaining your entertaining content! PS: I miss seeing Mike.
with all the clay, brick, glass, and brass, it's like you went "mudlarking" this trip! I will guess that the ornate brass item may have been part of a lamp or chandelier? just my guess. thank you for taking us with you on this adventure, it's always a good time and ends too soon.
Great video as usual...that 2 cent piece if it is 1864, could be quite valuable as it's the first year minted. There are large and small motto versions with the small being more rare,thus more valuable. Depending on conditions you have something worth $50 to $700...nice find!!😎👍
Hey Brad. I really enjoyed this video, but in reality i all your metal detecting videos. I do like what you found in this one the shoe buckle piece, the IHP 's two cent coin, etc.
Was the area flooded on purpose? I love seeing all the items you have found metal Detecting as well as mudlarking like they do in other countries Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️♥️⚒️🇺🇸🗝️

That's impressive! I'm 64 and have recently started. Only found bottlecaps and one coin so far though 😅
I started metal at age 66. Best thing I've done in retirement!!
Gosh! I am dying to start metal detecting but not sure how and where to begin!
@rosegeaber7533 Do it! You won't regret it. Maybe get yourself a good entry metal detector like a simplex or a garrett, a pinpointer, a good shovel (black ada invader is good and cheap) and enjoy!

lololol, most of my original videos were the fore mentioned...junk😂
The numbered tag looks like a miner tag. An ID tag to keep track of who was in the mine. A nice piece of history. Cheers! 😎👍⛏
You have an incredible voice! Truly a pleasure to listen to, my friend.
Most enjoyable Brad, it’s not all about the monetary value it’s the pleasure of finding little bits of history to share. Long may it last.❤
That 1864 two cent piece was the first year it was minted, and was the first coin to bear the motto "In God We Trust".
I found a Indian head cent 1899 in a crack of a tree. Just digging around with a stick. Best find I ever had
Young man, you are one of the few RUclips creators that I love watching all the way through! GBY and your family!
Brad at 13:13 the metal tag. My grandfather worked in the iron mines of northern Minnesota and he had a tag similar to that one that was his employee tag. Great historical find. Love your videos.
interesting, thanks for sharing that. Im outside of minneapolis, love comming across fellow Mn'ers
That last jewelry item isn't Victorian, it is Art Nouveau circa 1890-1920.

I love the visual animation your doing now around the pickup coil. Your videos a little cooler than they already were.
Great to see you back, Brad. Excited for the season.
Thank you for another great episode. Looking forward to many more
Thanks Brad! I look forward to your videos every week.
That was an awesome video. Full of fun finds. Thanks for sharing...
Love Green Mountain Metal Detecting, every video is awesome !!
Though I’m in Texas, I’m a London mudlark with a permit - when visiting there I love looking for pottery (Roman, medieval and beyond) and clay pipes. I would have been looking at the pottery at your feet. What a surprise to see you find a pipe bowl!
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana.
Thanks for taking us along too!!
Cool finds! Thanks for taking us along.
Yeaaa! It’s Friday…and coffee

Thanks Brad! Another top notch video! I can't wait until warmer weather so that you could make a bit longer video. ❤
lol was thinking the same thing
Hi, Brad, Warren from Nth. Queensland Metal Detectors, call finds on the surface of the ground, sunbakers. His channel is great.
Interesting term, thanks. 😊
That container tag could also be a mineral tag. Not sure if you have any mines where your at but it could be. Used to show if a miner was underground working. Each employee had one with his number stamped on it
The 2 cent coin is the first U.S. coin that says in god we trust I believe. Awesome find!
Great finds. Great adventure. I have always wanted to hunt treasures, but at my age,66, I just wish. The pendant looks like it could be a earring dangle, with other pieces that attached. Have a great weekend with family Brad.👍😘
Ronda I will be 66 in 3 months. Detect 4 days a week so why not?

The candy cane is a forged tent stake I believe.
That jewelry piece is definitely Art Nouveau style, from what I could see. Nice hunt!
Nice finds! Enjoy the music in the background.
Another great adventure, thank you for taking us along. Love the old coins and anything colonial is ok in my book... Happy hunting!
Liking the on screen animations you've added, makes it a little more fun to watch. Good job!
The Hook and Spike is hammered into an overhead or vertical beam and you hang your lantern on it. The long scissors are Dressmaking Shears. Great finds. I remember you did a beach on a reservoir before, a great place to detect. Nice finds.
Brad totally enjoyed your video Very interesting. ❤😊
Finally have a chance to catch up on your videos :) Fantastic and always thanks for sharing the fun.
High 5 from West TN! Fun to watch!
Great finds Brad Ty for sharing always enjoying your videos
Let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
The art nouveau pendant is gorgeous!
that clay pipe stem is a Dutch tobacco pipe used in the 1700's and sold them at merchant shops and trading posts.
What a fun hunt ~ real dirt fishing! Nice meeting you at BONE 31 too, Brad!
Rob (the guy with the “USA” button on his vest).
Great finds as usual...Brad !
Love you're videos !!
Love all the Finds Brad. The last piece you dug very cool. Love the Scissors. The 2 Cent Piece Congrats. Still looking for that one. Take Care Brad
sounded like you said shabuckles lol.. great finds especially a 2 cent and the Indian head coins love your videos
Thankyou Brad 😊
awesome video as always! cool location! Two cent coin is on my bucket list. Just found my first 3 cent US coin last week!
Easy digging today Brad. !!!!
Allot of finds Brad. Lakes are a great place to detect when the water drops. I have a lake close by that has several of gold mining town under it.

Watch your videos all the time
Thank You Brad!
I was thinking part of a Rosary
The number tag is cool, In West Virginia I saw these used on pad locks for the gas company. It would sure make opening hundreds of locks easier if the key and lock have matching numbers.
Always enjoy walking with you. If you get snow do some more leather work .
THANKS BRAD
Love the Effects, great add on, takes your Vids to another level.
I find your videos very enjoyable, always amazed with so many of your finds. I also worry when you go up in those mountains alone and do hope you always carry protection with you. Thanks entertaining your entertaining content! PS: I miss seeing Mike.
Great show and some good finds.
can you explain what the numbers on the detectors mean and how you can tell what the finds are made of and how deep they are from the numbers?
Good morning from Copperhill Tn. 😊
I been looking so forward to this!!
with all the clay, brick, glass, and brass, it's like you went "mudlarking" this trip! I will guess that the ornate brass item may have been part of a lamp or chandelier? just my guess. thank you for taking us with you on this adventure, it's always a good time and ends too soon.
I borrowed a metal detector for a week and dug 95% bottle caps. I didn’t catch the metal detecting bug myself but I enjoy the videos!
Good hunt bro..keep swinging
HEY! Good morning Brad~
What Fun! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your video! I'm new to RUclips and your stuff is really inspiring
That brass tag looks like an Antique Tool Check Tag.
We were still using almost identical tags at the aviation plant l used to work at in the 1980s.
Good call 👍🏼
Fun spot, love it all.
Nice bud .,Remember some of those old Fishing Luger, are collectible and may be worth $$$❤️👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I thought of rosary just before you said it❣️✌️
Love watching your videos!!!
Great video as usual...that 2 cent piece if it is 1864, could be quite valuable as it's the first year minted. There are large and small motto versions with the small being more rare,thus more valuable. Depending on conditions you have something worth $50 to $700...nice find!!😎👍
...,grazie per le belle e interessanti immagini,
Happy research and happy life.

Hey Brad. I really enjoyed this video, but in reality i all your metal detecting videos. I do like what you found in this one the shoe buckle piece, the IHP 's two cent coin, etc.
Very cool. Like always, I really enjoy your videos.
Nice finds.
i think it is a tool tag, great stuff thanks
Great. Video brad
Cool finds!
Thanks for taking us along! You have a way of making the ordinary finds an exciting thing. So, how much snow did you end up with due to that storm?
Another great hunt 👏
Some good stuff man thanks
Awesome history finds
Merci encore une superbe Vidéo !
THANK YOU 👍🙏>>>💚
love your music and show.
Delightful, as always!
Was the area flooded on purpose? I love seeing all the items you have found metal Detecting as well as mudlarking like they do in other countries Thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️♥️⚒️🇺🇸🗝️
Yes
