I was at an estate sale where the entire contents of the house and property were being auctioned off. Up for auction was a small cloth bag with a pile of coins that were covered with dirt and such. I paid $7 for the bag full. I discovered 22 large cents with the oldest a very nice 1794 I happily discovered after soap and water cleaning. After watching your fantastic videos, I realized that these coins were dug coins and I wondered if the bag was the man's collection of large cents, he found metal detecting over the years. Then I wished I knew where he found all those coins and wondered if they were all found from one area. It is our loss for not knowing this collector and learning about his old metal detecting haunts. Just how much history do we all walk over in our travels.
ya its possible
Women in the 1800s frowned on having a tan. It was popular to use bonnets, parasols, and use buttermilk on their face as sunblock. Probably why there are so many parasols in the ground.
Thanks for your comment. It is so interesting to think about what we view as privelege and wealth over time, but there is the consistent idea of wealth = leisure time. In the 1800s women of leisure were priveleged enough to stay out of the sun. Today, women of wealth have the privelege of relaxing in the sun.
Also probably a fashion accessory as well. A parasol to match every outfit, maybe?
Many women used Arsenic to keep their skin white as well, but I'd rather deal with a light tan than to poison myself!!!!! 😱
Only poor women who worked the fields had tans...the higher up you were in social levels, the paler you had to be!
White skin was definitely a sign of an upperclass woman.
The crucifix is so large I believe it was part of a "rosary" or worn by a priest. Beautiful intricate piece ❣️
Because it is so large I think it is not a rosary. Unless it was hung on a wall. Any rosaries I've seen that were used to pray the rosary have smaller crucifixes. Like You mention, it could be a crucifix worn by a priest or nun, those were larger.
I thought same thing. To big for necklace.
@@RichardTClark396 I have seen some large crosses worn around the necks of nuns and priests thought. Or around the waist like a belt.
I would love to see some of the items you find after you've cleaned them just to see more detail. Nice finds as always.
Like the writing on the back of the gilded button
Wondering if you packed out the moose skull? I carried a buffalo skull two miles once. After the first half mile that buffalo skull gained a bunch of weight! By the time I got it back to the truck? I think my arms stretched two feet longer! I was a young man in those days. Wish I'd never had sold it! But, young and dumb.
I love the plants you show. I grew up in the Appalachian hills of East Tennessee. As kids we didn't have toys so we played in the hills. You're videos bring back memories. The cross is awesome! Thank You for taking me with you!
I grew up on a farm in Kansas ! So getting to see some scenery in other states to me is awesome ! I've driven through most of the states west of the Mississippi River and only a few east of the Mississippi River !
I live in East Tennessee in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mins National park. There's a lot of history to see driving through our beautiful Mtns.
Oh man, visiting the Appalachian hills is my dream. I'd never leave, I'm convinced of that.
@@peggybaxter8480uhg I bet it's beautiful there

Our mtns. are beautiful and most people are caring and have a bond with the land. This area has grown by leeps and bounds after the lock down and a lot of people come with the idea of changing us and "teaching" us how things should be. We might not have the college degrees but--!== our people, hills, and mind are amazing! If you should come to Tenn. Unless you like sitting in traffic avoid Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge on our end of the park. Too much information! 😊 Thanks for your reply!
Love your Friday videos. Would love to see your display room.
Friday morning coffees and Brad. ❤
Love your videos, the music, the mountains and your enthusiasm.
When I watch your videos, I get spun into the who, the what, the why, the where, and a million more questions. I know people that have none of this curiosity and that makes me wonder too. Great videos!
Really nice find !
I think it was part of a rosary, considering the level of detail. It's a little big for everyday wear.
I was thinking that also part of a Rosary
It also looked as though the ring that held it on to the rosary was slightly sprung. It could have just fallen off and not been noticed.

At the time of the Revolutionary war, less than 1% of the population was Catholic. At the time of the war of northern aggression, it was less than 5%. Not saying it's impossible, but it's less likely during a time when this country hadn't surrendered to the papacy like it has today.
That crucifix was large. Possibly worn by a Priest? Or Nun?
I agree...that was my first thought that a priest lost it
Thank you for another great adventure and for taking us with you. I always look forward to Green Mountain Metal Detecting Fridays.
Hello Brad. I have watched a ton of your videos way back from the beginning of your channel. I have never commented on any until now. I will say you sir put out the best detecting videos on RUclips. From the way you explain things to just the way you carry yourself. The music is wonderful, just the overall way you do your videos is absolutely great. I look forward to every Friday to see what you find next. God Bless you and your family
Please play your intro just a tad longer...love the music and the scene. Making these long treks into the backcountry, have you ever considered backpacing in a ultralight tent and gear...maybe some footage around a small fire, going over the finds of the day while enjoying some fresh brewed campfire coffee? Then, get up the next morning and swinging some more?
He is a family man let him stick to a day off.
@@1898time I wasn't suggesting he leave his family and move to the woods but maybe an occasional night camping trip on these long trips in would be fun and cool.
I really look forward to your uploads on Friday helps to make my day Cheers fro Ireland 🇮🇪
Great finds, I love the cross. I hope it cleans up nice for you. Keep Diggin.
The difference between a cross and a crucifix is the figure of Christ.
I absolutely love that crucifix. Another great video!.
Glad you caught that Todd, a crucifix, not a cross.
Happy Friday everyone! Another great video! Amazing finds from out in the middle of nowhere. Love the moose skull! Brad, love how you make possible stories to go with the items! ❤
That Crusifixthat Crucifix is gorgeous
Awesome spot this week. Congratulations on this finds, especially the bell and Crucifix! WOW on that one, Brad! 👍
Let’s go let’s go treasure and adventure 💕🌺✌️👵
I am a dedicated viewer. I love when you find cool old stuff.
Great hunt awesome crucifix pendant looking forward to next week God Bless and happy dirt fishing…Virgil
Awesome finds and video, the cross was my favorite. Wondering if maybe from a priest. I would love to detect with you one day, such a story teller and your finds just are very cool.
That cross and the crotal/jingle bell was so cool, and the coins were awesome as well
Every Friday morning like clockwork. I always look forward to your videos. That crucifix was an amazing find. Very special. Thanks for the work you put into creating your content.
Excellent video Brad. Especially what you found, the cool relics the small ox knob, buttons. The awesome drape bust large cent and the old cross.
SO cool! Thanks for letting us tag along!
May God Bless you Brad.
Happy Friday morning.
I've been watching this Turkish metal detecting channel, deniz something, and he has a device that detects precious metals. He uses that to steer him towards an area then uses his metal detector to zero in. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. The translation calls it a field scanner but I'm sure that's not what we would call it.
They find gold ancient crucifixes and other ancient gold and and silver that's been hidden (plastered) into what looks like ordinary rock outcroppings. Most are rocks plastered together so come apart easily. Stuff from ottoman empire, Egyptian, Roman, Greek. It's crazy.
Y'all are the only 2 channels I watch. You should check it out and see if you know what device he uses. He posts every other day at least.
Beautiful cross. Beautiful Savior!
That cross, in that condition? Magnificent!
in her Amelia Peabody series, author Elizabeth Peters protagonist was a woman archeologist in a family of British archeologists who lived in Egypt around the late 1880s to early 1900s. Amelia always had her parasols made extra sturdy in case she needed to bring it down on the head of an attacker, with an extra sharp point which was quite useful for moving people out of her way in crowds. People frequently attacked her.
Thanks for posting, Brad.
Went digging with a spoon for fun. I was digging by a root of a tree and found a Indian head center 1899!! Pretty Kristy but I FOUND IT!. And a very thin green garder belt clip. Probably late 18 early 1900s. Baltimore had a fire in 1907 that burnt the city down they trucked and dumped all the debri in Dundalk MD. Where I live. Now the metal detector is going over there with me TODAY!❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRAD. I have learned so very much from you.
Awesome finds brother thank you so very much for sharing 👍👍❤️
Love the video and the treasures. Thanks for the trip to the mountains.
I watch many metal detecting channels, but yours is always my favorite! Thank you and I can't wait till next Friday!
I agree, Brad and hoover boys my go to first
That Crucifix was absolutely beautiful. Keep up the great work 👍
Awesome finds, the bell was the greatest! Keep on digging.
My favorite time of year. I look forward to each video, Thank you.
You always find some of the best finds! Excellent video. I’m sure you had a great time unpacking your backpack after that! Nicely done!
Awsome day for you, good job
Pretty cool finds on this adventure hunt! Keep on diggin...
Good Morning Brad, this place seems to have a special feel to it; and it felt that there'd not been many people roaming back in there. Did you feel that too?.. The moss covering the rocks at the spring was so beautiful.. Thank you for sharing
I loved the bell today and the cross pendant. Some awesome finds today. I absolutely love your videos. I love your quite educational demeanor.
😮 Very Nice crucifix 🎉🎉
Relic.
We can only hope that one day you find that treasure chest.
Thank you for the video ,I look forward to Friday's, and a new video
Brad, your videos are a highlight of my Fridays. Keep them coming. 📽
One of the things I look forward to during the Pendleton Round-Up celebrations are the two big parades, one evening and one noon. The great things are the Ox wagons and and horse drawn logging pulls. Both have rows of these bells in several sizes to warn people they were coming! Although one Teamster said his teams liked the sound too.
I look forward to my weekly trip to the beautiful mountains of Vermont with you. This New England girl thanks you.
Morning Brad, enjoying my Friday morning coffee and your video. What a great combination. Great hunt and finds. See you next Friday.
I grew up on an old farm in the woods of Rhode Island, back in the early 50s, had burn barrel. We also had our own dump for glass and metals.oh how i wish i had some of the old glass jars bottles. Your videos always bring to life back in the good old days. Thank you .❤️
Great Hunt there Brad. Love all the Relics and Buttons. Especially the last Button withe the leaf design. Congrats on the Coppers and Cordal Bell. Really Love the the Cross you found. That one is awesome. Take Care
Thank you so much for all of the information and a great trip to Vermont. Beautiful. Place. Be safe
My husband always carried a small pocket knife with him. He used it mostly at his work to deal with things that needed to be scraped off the floor. He was a maintenance guy.
Great! That must have been a beautiful place to live. Seems sometimes I was born a few hundred years too late.
HEY! Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!
Always enjoy the videos.❤
Hey Brad, I am on a cruise in the Mediterranean and have been isolated to my stateroom for 5 days with Covid. I could not wait until today for your vid to drop. Thanks for the great show and a little respite from my situation.
Get well soon!
Oh, hope you’re doing better. Enjoy the rest of your cruise
Great way to start my day. Thank you for sharing
I always get excited when you find bells too! They just make me happy.
Phenomenal hunt. Love Love the Cross✌❤
A Catholic crucifix in a mostly Protestant state. Very nice find! Perhaps part of a Rosary.
a Rosery cross is my vote. A cup of coffee and a quality vid, my friday morning is again complete and a good send off for another busy day.
Great treasures today, thank you for the great videos.
Awesome finds today CONGRATULATIONS 😊
Awesome video Brad, as always love your editing. Easy to watch. Great VT finds! Keep it up man and best of luck, all the best!
You mentioned little holes in the back of the crucifix . . . Roman Catholic priests would carry a Sacrament kit when they were doing home visits. It contained vials of holy water, a little container for some hosts, and the crucifix would affix to the front of the kit through a keyhole type of connection where the knobs would slide into the holes in the crucifix, and lock it in place. I am just guessing that it could apply to your find, but it's a potential explanation. I've been following you for years. I'm a subscriber and I love your channel. Looks like you've made some changes to your videos; back to the old "tried and true." I like all your work, so whatever you're doing with the channel, I'm a supporter.
Some nice finds on the day Brad
amazing, you have great adventures!!!!!!!!!
Woohoo! A large bell intact!
Always a pleasure to see you Brad… have a great weekend! Your #1 Kentucky fan💞TK
Brad another awesome video good seeing ya again. The mountains are beautiful ; once again she gives up some of her treasures . What a Friday you get me going in the morning. God bless be safe stay well until next Friday when we meet again ;KEEP DIGGING
The cross is a rare find. Needs to be cleaned,as I'm sure you will do,and put in a local museum or cultural center. If not,then what a beautiful piece of history to hand down in your family,with a story of you and what you do.
Well Done Brad ! Thank U. !
Great finds today...
Awesome hunt, Brad!! You never cease to amazed me with you editing skills. That old Cross was the owners' treasure for sure!!
I do a lot of metal detecting myself. One time trading stories with another detectorist, he claimed that he found a gold ring one time, and when he dug it up, it was on a finger… and he proceeded to find a whole body there. Buried in a shallow grave…
I don’t know if I believe that one. But I guess it’s possible.
Yikes,I think I would have just let the ring stay where it was found .
and he didnt report it
@@swampfizz oh no, he did report it. According to the story, there was a cemetery nearby and it had to be moved because it was flooding and causing problems… so it was not some kind of crime scene. A burial that got away you could say.
He also told me he could tell the difference between a pull tab and a gold ring with his awesome expensive metal detector so I was suspicious of him right away.
Every time I see you find a parasol ring ☂️,
I can imagine a Prissy Pampered Jewel sitting there wondering to herself 🤔
What in the Hell am I doing here.😱
The pattern on the button looks more like an Oak leaf then a fern.
Great video Brad! Love that big crotal bell, crucifix, fern button, and Large cents! You have been killing the Large Cents this year! How come we didn't see the moose skull in the wrap up? I hope you took it with you. Great job sir and see you next Friday!
Nice variety of finds congrats 🎉
Growing up in the NEK I appreciate your video. I live in the white mountains and do a fair amount of metal detecting. Enjoy your program very much.
In England, there were people who sold umbrellas on the sidewalks. Unlike shop-sold ones or ones sold by umbrella-makers. These were shoddy “reconditioned” umbrellas which were often coated with something to make them look waterproof but which melted away when it rained. They counted on people being caught out without an umbrella. It was probably one of the more common street scams.
Again Brad you knocked it out of the park! I'm telling you every Friday this is almost the second thing that I do is watch your video. First being that I get my first cup of coffee. Love the narrative and knowledge.
Fab video..I was inthralled from start to finish. ❤
Always enjoy your videos. Cool history thanks from. Sc
Another day of great finds today Brad! The bells are always my favorite too! I love the way u open our imagination with every find !! The crusevix was beautiful many Irish people who came here would have such a trinket! I'm guessing it was tossed not lost times were tough and faith was lost!
Great finds.
Great location probably more there about. 2 nice coppers & that big crotal bell. But IMO the find of the day was the beautiful crucifix which probably made them heartbroken losing. Nice hunt Brad.
Awesome finds ; especially the crucifix
You find a lot of treasure chest locks, here’s hoping you find one on top of a pile of treasure one day. I love your videos and wish you and your family the best! 🥰💕👍👍
The crucifix is very good shape. 👍😊
Awesome finds! 💪 We just found a huge ring 💍 Saturday at a local Western New York park Saturday, posted it up on our channel!💥🎥
Awesome finds!
Nice work Brad !!
I love the crucifix you found. Amazing finds on this adventure.
I love learning from you.
Forgot to say that the cross is simply stunning. It really fits with the feel of that beautiful place.
