    This guy is just great! He is the very essence of a truly professional metal detectorist - knowledgeable, articulate, respectful of his surroundings and so easy to watch and listen to. Seems like a genuine nice guy too! Keep up the great work!!

    Dude I hear you with the live dig, you get all excited it will be a great video and then trash. Then when you don't do a live dig, it is something awesome. That's why I try to get awesome short stuff LOL. I can always tell you got a lot of time into the videos, a lot more then the actual detecting. Some great finds. Thanks for sharing.

    Brad, thanks for another "discovery day" in the woods of Vermont .. As dry as it's been this year I would assume the dry stream beds and their tributaries might be the fresh "picking fields" to focus on for lost treasure and those elusive Colonial coins .. Thanks for sharing the day.

    I love this show and I don't own a metal detector. I watched one of your videos a long time ago and was hooked. You're extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter, and very enjoyable to watch. And you've had some incredible finds! The gold Spanish Escudos were great. Everything from Europe was great. The gold nugget was completely unexpected. But the Continental Army coat button still gives me the chills! How fantastic was that to find? Amazing!
    I usually have about an hour after work just to relax- before a tornado of a 4 year old girl gets home and demands all of my attention. And that hour has become my Green Mountain Metal Detecting time. I've enjoyed watching old episodes and appreciate all that you do. Thank you for posting and sharing your knowledge. If you ever find yourself near Portland, Oregon, look me up. There's still a Spanish treasure somewhere on Neahkahnie Mountain to find (although the State of Oregon won't let peope dig there anymore, and would keep everything we found).
    Thanks again,
    Matt.

    I'm been an avid detectorist for approx. 15 years. I have to say I've seen this channel on here for some time but have avoided it. That one incredibly embarrassing t.v. series on detecting and subsequent lame RUclips channels turned me against watching any more detecting videos until I decided to give your channel a look yesterday. I'm happy I did. Your spots are dream hunts and your editing, effects are top notch. Your commentary is also pleasant, insightful and relatable and not the usual chest thumping noise. I've even subscribed. Now if you'll excuse me I have a ton of back videos of yours to enjoy.

Interesting discoveries this week. And I learned a lot watching. Love, love, love your videography. You're just as much of an artist as a detectorist.

Great to relax to while being entertained when unwinding is needed. 👍🏻

But I see you try to make your videos like a movie. you want to look/talk into the camera a lot. You could do 2-4 like this it sees everything your seeing.

    Hi Brad! Love your videos! Two requests. Could you show us sometime the “junk” you find in addition to the “good stuff”? I think it might help us get some perspective on how much digging you actually do for a few treasures. Your videography is superb! I would love it if you would think about doing a calendar of your close-ups of Vermont nature so we could enjoy the Green Mountains all year long. Happy hunting from NC.

  • @leesmith2798
    @leesmith2798 Год назад

    @9:12 Brad, that is correct. It is a piece of cooking Ware. The forked pin in the Buckle tells the tale. I can only assume that the metal j- rod is narrow and the forked pin fits over it. Used to adjust the height or position of a suspended pot, or whatever piece of food that was being cooked, over the appropriate part of the fire. Every cooking fire would have needed more than one cooking chain. These have long hourglass-shaped links with a ball on one end of the chain.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that dreams of an early American blacksmiths shop ..... I live in the Hilltown's in Massachusetts and my hunts mirror your for items. Datable items like coins go from 1700s to about 1850, then nothing. Gone. A couple towns down the mountain and I start getting into 1900s items, but up here 1850 is it. Most datable coins are KG's, early American coppers like draped busts, matrons, etc. Reales, seated, bust silvers. All early dates, and I wonder what happened in the 1850s and where did everyone go up here?

I love it, but, being from the Midwest we don’t have all of the really cool old, old stuff you find. There simply weren’t people here that far back. I have managed to sort out a lot of the legends of the family farm with my detector. They are useful in so many ways I never thought. I always enjoy checking in and vegging out to the beauty of the mountains. Thanks and keep digging!
