Hey Folks! For daily and up-to-date posts, I invite you to join the Green Mountain community outside of RUclips! My website: www.GMMD.us Facebook: Facebook.com/GreenMountainMetalDetecting Instagram: @Green.Mountain.Metal.Detecting.
I always click the “LIKE” button during the intro music without having seen your video! I am never disappointed! Great video Brad! By the way since your videos have given me insight on knowing the difference between forged or cast iron, I have been able to identify a few of my finds and date them to the proper time period. The striation in the forged metal makes sense as the metal was heated and hammered repeatedly. I recently gave all my historical finds to a local historical society and the curator invited me to detect a dirt crawl space of the 1834 stone building in which they operate.Thanks!
Me too on the 'Like' button. GMMD is where I come for peace and escape from the madness going on in the world of today. My metal detecting days are long past but so enjoy Brad's and thank him for sharing. The music, the scenery, his calm voice, and the treasures of the past that he shares are priceless.
Brad, there are no videos that compare to yours, and your music grips the soul like an old friend. Looks like you found your best detector yet!! Thank you for taking us there! 🤗😊
Can't help but agree with you Brad...... half the fun is finding treasure, the other half is the thrill of research and matching it to the timeline history of the site. Good luck, happy hunting and stay safe Brad... from Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿.
Good morning! I found an ID for an object that you uncovered a while back. It’s Viking! You thought it might have been for sewing. Go to this RUclips video: Vikings: Live from the British Museum. At 34:25, you will find your item included in a hoard of Viking treasure on display!! I almost dropped my coffee cup...lol. Congratulations!!! An excellent find...😁👍
Hi Brad, your my favourite. Love the nature photos, as much as your finds. Shows you have an appreciation for nature, as well the hunting of lost treasures. Kerp going, keep well.
FOR ALL THE WALKING AND ENERGY YOU PUT IN, IM ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE YOU GET SOMETHING'S OUTTA ALL THAT DIRT 😊 GOOD ONYA BRAD, ENJOYABLE AS ALWAYS. CAMILLE AUSTRALIA 👋
Your videos get better and better quality great job looks like such a fun hobby i bet you cant wait to bring the little man with you and have him swinging love the vlogs as well thank you for sharing your hobby and daily life good luck
Hi Brad! I grew up in Bethel in the late 50’s, 60’s and honestly we did not have black flies! I think Maine sent them over... We did have annoying little gnats but they didn’t bite like those voracious black flies! Anyway I love watching your adventures in Vermont. I may live in Maine now but my heart is in Vermont.
I only recently started following you but I have to say that I am impressed with your knowledge, your respect for the history that you are exploring and something perhaps missed by some, your love of nature in all its forms. I look forward to your postings and wish you all the best in these crazy times.
Three suspenders and a bullet sounds like a new song title. Great to see the new Deus is bringing you new finds. Thanks for great Friday woods forages!
The little spoon may have been a teaspoon, for tea. Germans use them for sugar in the tea and for stirring the tea. We bought all the equipment for metal detecting but it's been 102 degrees here and we'll have to wait for the temp. to come down. Very fun. We enjoy your channel.
Awesome. Thank you listened to your Music, really impressed. Music is my love in life. Finds seems the detector is working good. Be safe & tc. Love Fridays helps start of a weekend.
Spring here in Phoenix ,Arizona too. Going to be 112 degrees (f) today and nearly every day now on until late Oct.. We don't have mosquito's or flie's. Too dry. Got lots of old gold and silver mines and old western ghost towns for you to metal detect though. My wife and I enjoy your videos.
We used to have a camper in up state NY. Black flys were bad there too. We used a product called Freshcab in the camper to help with the mice. We noticed it also helped with black flys and Mosquitoes. We could leave the camper door open and nothing would fly inside. The product comes in a bag like a tea bag. Its all natural. Strong smell.
Brad I always look forward to your videos. Enjoy the history and the historical items you find. And the great music. Thanks for taking us along. Michael from Georgia.
Brad, glad your new detector picked up finds among the iron that your AT could not. You might have to start visiting some of your other heavy iron sites, and give them a go again. Another great video! Keep em coming! Rob / Flthunder
Hi Brad! You may have already been told this but one of the suspenders with the hole looks like it came from a corset or garter belt. Used to hold up stockings. I used to wear one in my youth. It would fit over a button and then pulled down slightly. Thanks so much for the videos. I find them very interesting. Take care and many blessings!
AKA "sleigh bell", used mainly in snow, as the sound of the rig is absorbed by snow, the bells, worn in a variety of sizes for maximizing the frequency of sound, to the rhythm of the horses' gaits, report their presence to oncoming rigs. The rosette is the decorative piece which holds firm the broadband to the crown piece, at the sides of the head beneath the ears.
The pick you found is related to timber industry, its the off bearers pick to keep any small pieces of bark or pieces of wood from saw blades or planer blades , some have longer handles to allow safe removal for worker they had to be sharp pointed to stick the wood ! I have used one many times in the mills back in the 60's ! Great Video , Now I have to study the new detector you are using, as the older one I used for getting around nails was the 600b compass years ago , but only a few places I needed it !
Hello GMMD! It's Friday! I love the Chrono bell! Always hoping it has its clapper is in tact. The sliver lead metal piece reminded me of the weights we used fishing. 😊
As always Brad, you have taken us on another enjoyable Friday morning Green Mountain Adventure to uncover artifacts long forgotten. Thank you for your effort and for allowing us along the trail with you. And, from this Vermonter now living in South Florida, I speak from experience, when I say that Vermont's Mosquitos are only minor aggravations when compared to what we have to deal with along the "Mosquito Coast" of South Florida during our rainy season, which is about to begin. Thanks again.
The little button-like object with the hole in the center reminded me of the end of a lady's hatpin. The bent tree at the beginning brings to mind an audio story I listened to on my way to Oregon a few weeks ago. I think you might like it. I took it on loan from the local library. It's a fictional piece based on fact and called "The Order". It's a hunt for Civil War gold that was buried throughout the south and gives insight as to the markers that were used to point the way to the buried pockets of gold. One such type of marker was bent or misshapen trees. Sometimes buried items pointed the way, such as the blade of a shovel.
That tiny cool spoon looks like the one my great grandmother always used as a sugar spoon ,in a very ornate cut glass vessel with a pewter top also very fancy and ornate ,and in the lid was a space for the spoon to fit through ,she used it for sugar for her teas ,witch she made herself from her property way up in the hills of West Virginia,way up ,we would always only drive so far and had to get out and walk another quarter mile ,we would always bring her a newspaper and staples like coffee,sugar,flower .stuff like that ,she had cows and chickens ,and her two twin brothers took care of the farm and made trips to town for items as needed,so cool ,that place is long gone ,I remember always just walking around the property picking up Indian arrow heads ,and the majority we would find around a small waterfall and pool ,such beautiful property 😎
I don't know how you make it back home every time without getting lost and ending up here in Michigan for example lol. I just love your videos and i wear my t shirt i bought from you quite a bit. I've even heard someone say "did you see her t shirt? Thats a Brad fan". Lol.
Looks like the Deus is hitting the spot - shame you can't find something like it to fend off the blackflies! Good little finds - surely can't be June with no leaves yet?! Keep safe 🦘👍🐾😎
Hey Brad gotta say I always look forward to your videos! Always fun to watch! I also want to say stick with that XP Deus, I have hundreds of hours on them and you can't beat that machine in the iron. The coil you have is at the top for thick iron! Gonna be interesting to see you go back to some of your sites! Good luck this year!!!
Morning mountain man. Back im the day the old timers use to use vicks vapor rup as a means of fighting off the black flies. Some off the old bottle dumps are full of them. Wd forty work also.
As you were talking about it, that was my first thought, an ice pic of some sort. That detector seems to be working out well for you. Great video. Stay safe and have a great weekend.
Vitimin B Complex wards off black flies. Take it daily for 3 or 4 days before going out. The results is a huge reduction of contact. Not for mosquitos but great on black flies.
Hey Brad, haven't watched to many of your video's lately due to other things happening, but I'm back! Best of luck to you & your family this coming metal detecting season!!
Brad- so thrilled to see you using an XP Deus. It's my detector of choice and you are correct on the iron separation- it's second to none in heavy iron. You are going to live that machine
5:45 that buckle looks like a coat waist belt slip buckle , the shape of the spoon says baby spoon, condiment spoons were more round or oval than tapered at the end, second buckle looks like a travel bag strap buckle, all in all great finds great detector that thing can really find the hidden goodies. ✌
Hi Brad, some lovely finds, I loved that little spoon it looked like an old English teaspoon. The only thing I can think that oval piece of lead is it could probably be a cuff link ???. Thanks for sharing your day. x
The iron pick looking thing looks like a buddy handle minus the wood for an old saw. I think some other commenter said the same thing or something similar. Great video Brad
Theory on the object at 9:33 in your video: it seems to resemble the top of a period scotch eye wood auger. Hardwood would be placed through the loop and cranked while the spiraled blade would have been attached to the stem below, ergo boring the hole in a log. These broke off periodically and just about in the right place with what you found. Could be, could be something else mentioned below. Fun find though.
At the 9:30 mark the iron relic you found that looks like a spike on the end is actually a candle holder there are several variety types the one you have would have been drove into a tree and a candle place in it for light. Some of the other types would have the spike and a bend in it so it could be placed in a tree or stuck into the ground as the elbow candle holders are more common to find around civil war camps that the soldiers utilized where as the type you have is colonial era and only had the one function. Once ran thru electrolysis and preserved they make beautiful relics I do believe you can find them in several books that pertain to early american iron relics.
The metal pick thing. I think it would be used for lifting or rolling sawn logs, bang it into the end grain to use as a lift or put it into the side of the log to give leverage to roll the log
Another awesome video and the wood pecker in the back ground was the large Pleated Woodpecker. Also may I recommend the natural bug spray by JOCO Botanicals. Very good repellent and all natural...and smells great! You do not need any of that nasty DEET in your system. Blessings, Mike in sunny Florida
I have to agree with you about the black flies Brad. I got destroyed by them up in Northern Ontario a couple weeks ago, no spray worked at all, and I've tried them all. Great work bud!!
Never disappoint I love your videos. Maybe the oval lead peice is part of an adornment with the possible amount of horse tack. Doesn't seem like a bail seal. Love all your finds. I also love any information that I can research the possible timeline of the areas activity and where it may come from. Imagining that small glimpses into the lives of the past. Great video, thanks for all your talented efforts.
My favorite find at any site will always be the Crotal bells 😍 those and Conestoga bells are beautiful, to me ☺ I knew when you'd arrived at the sight when you showed the flower plants, always the sign that a home was there (or so I've heard on many a RUclips video)! Great collection of finds, awsome fatty 1863 IHP that you found 👍😃 I'm still searching for my 1st IHP 🤷 hopefully 2020 will give me one of my own to find 😁
Merely relating info from NH: the "pick" is reportedly a scythe blade handle or "buddy handle". I have no personal knowledge of it but I have seen it dug a few times.
Great composition, Brad. I have seen devices with a metal piece that looked like the pick you found. I think they were used for harvesting sap wood for cork. It reminds me of the pawl on a jack for rolling logs, but it isn’t heavy enough.
Skin so soft is my recommendation as well- the way to use it is lay it on thick, it doesn’t deter the buggers, but when they land to bite, they get coated & drown. Learned this while hiking the Adirondacks.
I been watching and enjoying your Detecting for a while now. I am sending ya this to help with the black flies!! I don't if anyone has suggested this but LISTERINE?? That's right the mouth wash! A little spray bottle, only problem is ya have spray quite frequently. I used to shoe horses and nothing can upset a horse more than flies!!
Great video Brad... With the new detector run it over that flint rock you had your finds on...the yellow stuff sometimes hangs out in flint or quarts rock... just saying.... Be Safe...
Hi Brad, pretty good day of detecting. Wonderful assortment of relics. Apparently, your new equipment worked well today. Everything worked well today in your video, like always. Enjoy the upcoming hikes . Take care, Joyce. Connecticut 🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱
That little "pick" looks to be a "pick axe" used to roll and pull logs!!! The log would have been in a pond, and they were used to straighten the log for a trip down stream or into a mill, I seem to think there is another name for it, but I can't quite bring it to mind, the darned meds cause brain farts!!!! Anyway that's what that is used for!!!
@@markmorris3579 Exactly right. I have one I use while cutting firewood. I whack it into the end of a piece of firewood and lift it up and put it under one arm and then whack it into another piece and lift it up off the ground and walk off with both pieces and never had to bend over to pick them up. Back saving tool for an old man. Have had one for years.
Brad, could the lead piece be a hem weight I'm not sure when they were used? As a blacksmith myself I think the iron ring and pick is a scythe nib. It would be fitted often with a brass collar and an iron washer over wood for the handle. Then peined or bent to hold it fast.
Hello good morning as always awesome video nice finds history on that mtn is so impressive I'm on south coast of British Columbia black flies as well nasty hello to Bentley and mom how is kitten doing

The iron artifact at 9:16 appears to be a pickaroon. They are used in logging for various purposes
I'm not on Facebook. I was wondering why a comment question several videos back was never answered.
Laura it’s been my experience that Brad rarely answers comments. I’m sure it’s not personal.
instablaster
That iron tool is called a pickaroon. It’s still used in logging today for moving smaller logs around.
The best parts of your videos are: um, everything, the montage, the music, the information, and the scenery. Thanks!
Enjoy your videos. They are very well done . Apreciate Your knowledge about what you find and where you dig. Your mountains are beautiful.
I always click the “LIKE” button during the intro music without having seen your video! I am never disappointed! Great video Brad!

As a fellow Vermonter, I love watching your videos because they feel like home - almost like it’s in my own backyard.
Hi Brad! I grew up in Bethel in the late 50’s, 60’s and honestly we did not have black flies! I think Maine sent them over...

Thank you again for a great video. Great shots of folate. Great finds ...
You rock!

I look forward to your postings and wish you all the best in these crazy times.
Really enjoy the artifacts and relics you find in the mountains.
Love when you find a whole bell and your reaction. Pure joy for me also
Three suspenders and a bullet sounds like a new song title. Great to see the new Deus is bringing you new finds. Thanks for great Friday woods forages!
I wonder if those ornate buckles were worn on the gentlemens scarves?
Have you tried the Appachalians' way of bug deterrence.....Vicks Vapor Rub
Well that was fun! Thanks for taking me along! Hugs!

Another awesome hunt on the tube 😃✌️
The unidentified iron piece is a scythe nib. It would slide down the handle and hold a smaller wooden piece for the second hand grip.
Good trip. I see the trillium is popping. You have a great eye for natures simple and inconspicuous beauty. Nice video.
Awesome. Thank you listened to your Music, really impressed. Music is my love in life. Finds seems the detector is working good. Be safe & tc. Love Fridays helps start of a weekend.

Great job Brad! Nice spoon. VT produces again!
I just started detecting, your videos are a huge inspiration.
Good evening from Sydney Australia always enjoy your clips, the places you venture into looks stunning
So enjoy your adventures! You do a wonderful job giving details, explanations in covering the historical sites!
Awesome crotal bell and Indian head penny, Nice finds
Loving your new tool! Cool finds. And, like the moss covered quartz rock you showed them on.
All kinds of great finds on this adventure Brad! Glad the new detector is doing so well for you 🤗
Excellent job, your video’s never disappoint. Thanks for taking us along.
9:15 .... any chance this could be a candle stick holder you would drive into the wall off your log cabin?
Is so that could be why the cabin is gone
Please do an episode on all the "Mystery" Items you have found, this way maybe we can solve those.
Hello GMMD! It's Friday! I love the Chrono bell! Always hoping it has its clapper is in tact. The sliver lead metal piece reminded me of the weights we used fishing.
😊
As always Brad, you have taken us on another enjoyable Friday morning Green Mountain Adventure to uncover artifacts long forgotten.

The little button-like object with the hole in the center reminded me of the end of a lady's hatpin.

9:30 pickaroon used for sorta picking/rolling logs and rounds of wood without leaning over and hurting your lower back.
I don't know how you make it back home every time without getting lost and ending up here in Michigan for example lol. I just love your videos and i wear my t shirt i bought from you quite a bit. I've even heard someone say "did you see her t shirt? Thats a Brad fan". Lol.
Looks like the Deus is hitting the spot - shame you can't find something like it to fend off the blackflies! Good little finds - surely can't be June with no leaves yet?! Keep safe 🦘👍🐾😎
Very nice variety of finds. Tells a lot about the people who lived here. Good hunt.
Hey Brad gotta say I always look forward to your videos! Always fun to watch! I also want to say stick with that XP Deus, I have hundreds of hours on them and you can't beat that machine in the iron. The coil you have is at the top for thick iron!
Gonna be interesting to see you go back to some of your sites!
Good luck this year!!!
Morning mountain man. Back im the day the old timers use to use vicks vapor rup as a means of fighting off the black flies. Some off the old bottle dumps are full of them. Wd forty work also.
Thank you! I am somewhat new to your channel and have seen quite a few episodes and wondered why you wear the scarf, even in the summer. Now I know!
As you were talking about it, that was my first thought, an ice pic of some sort. That detector seems to be working out well for you. Great video. Stay safe and have a great weekend.
Vitimin B Complex wards off black flies. Take it daily for 3 or 4 days before going out. The results is a huge reduction of contact.
Not for mosquitos but great on black flies.
If you take a lot of Vitamin B mixtures your urine turns fluorescent yellow-green. It's not bad for you, but it sure is alarming.
Hey Brad, haven't watched to many of your video's lately due to other things happening, but I'm back! Best of luck to you & your family this coming metal detecting season!!
As soon as i hear your music and the sounds and noise of nature i breathe better
Brad- so thrilled to see you using an XP Deus. It's my detector of choice and you are correct on the iron separation- it's second to none in heavy iron. You are going to live that machine
Mystery lead piece, Bail seal? The line was the wire and the hole is where the twist connection was that it was sealing.
5:45 that buckle looks like a coat waist belt slip buckle , the shape of the spoon says baby spoon, condiment spoons were more round or oval than tapered at the end, second buckle looks like a travel bag strap buckle, all in all great finds great detector that thing can really find the hidden goodies. ✌

I commend you sir!!🙂

Great relics Brad. That coil is like a laser beam on the deus. Perfect for those cella sites. TC, Mike
so sorry you have to deal with those black flies i dont know how you do it. great finds love the crotto bell i hope i find one some day.
Loving your new detector finding loads of stuff 😁 Black flies are horrible
The metal pick thing. I think it would be used for lifting or rolling sawn logs, bang it into the end grain to use as a lift or put it into the side of the log to give leverage to roll the log

Very good repellent and all natural...and smells great! You do not need any of that nasty DEET in your system. Blessings, Mike in sunny Florida
Nice job Brad!!
Good job, Brad. Respect from Russia
Sometimes we must look outside our own backyards to realize how big the world is and how blessed we are.
I have to agree with you about the black flies Brad. I got destroyed by them up in Northern Ontario a couple weeks ago, no spray worked at all, and I've tried them all. Great work bud!!

Awsome finds my friend always enjoy yourvideos
I am pretty certain that woodpecker call is a pileated woodpecker, largest in North America. It was the model for Woody Woodpecker.
Hey, Brad. Love your videos. I’ve had success repelling gnats by rubbing vanilla on the bottom of my hat brim, might work for your black flies.
My favorite find at any site will always be the Crotal bells 😍 those and Conestoga bells are beautiful, to me ☺ I knew when you'd arrived at the sight when you showed the flower plants, always the sign that a home was there (or so I've heard on many a RUclips video)!

I been watching and enjoying your Detecting for a while now. I am sending ya this to help with the black flies!! I don't if anyone has suggested this but LISTERINE?? That's right the mouth wash! A little spray bottle, only problem is ya have spray quite frequently.
I used to shoe horses and nothing can upset a horse more than flies!!
Great video Brad... With the new detector run it over that flint rock you had your finds on...the yellow stuff sometimes hangs out in flint or quarts rock... just saying.... Be Safe...
I've seen picks like that, used to move lumber in a green chain, at a saw mill. Good calls on everything. Great video!
Hi Brad, pretty good day of detecting. Wonderful assortment of relics. Apparently, your new equipment worked well today. Everything worked well today in your video, like always. Enjoy the upcoming hikes . Take care, Joyce. Connecticut 🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱
always enjoyable, beautiful camera work thanks brad
That little "pick" looks to be a "pick axe" used to roll and pull logs!!! The log would have been in a pond, and they were used to straighten the log for a trip down stream or into a mill, I seem to think there is another name for it, but I can't quite bring it to mind, the darned meds cause brain farts!!!! Anyway that's what that is used for!!!
Picaroon or hookaroon
@@markmorris3579 Exactly right. I have one I use while cutting firewood. I whack it into the end of a piece of firewood and lift it up and put it under one arm and then whack it into another piece and lift it up off the ground and walk off with both pieces and never had to bend over to pick them up. Back saving tool for an old man. Have had one for years.
Cant hook
Brad, could the lead piece be a hem weight I'm not sure when they were used? As a blacksmith myself I think the iron ring and pick is a scythe nib. It would be fitted often with a brass collar and an iron washer over wood for the handle. Then peined or bent to hold it fast.
