- After hiking miles to a colonial property I discover, somewhere along the way, my metal detector has been broken. The things I find with it will certainly be a surprise to landowner.

I was just going to ask!!
I am addicted to your videos, can’t wait for Fridays . Love your intros. You’ve been metal detecting for awhile, use your instincts. Thank you for the great videos.
First, I love the interlude music & photo scenery. I can picture myself hiking through the woods. Second, a great hunt, great filming and good information shared. Love going detecting with you. Thanks for taking us.
Wow! What an amazing hunt. I love your highlights of the nature in your area. But Huntington with a broken detector..... much respect for the patients you had to have this day. Thanks for holding strong and showing us your awesome finds. I truly hope that you can replace your machine soon and that you can come back to this site. Thanks for sharing.
Inspired! Been detecting for some years, but rarely find anything as cool as this guy!
As one of the best metal detecting sites on youtube I hope Garret will give you a new max in consideration of all the advertising you give them. As always a great video. I look forward to them every Friday morning.
John, THE most professional made MD videos on you tube!
@@flthunderdigginwrob3162 Agreed.
Agree with Both you guys!! Love GMMD!
A nightmare any detectorist would dread.... unpacking a detector... turning it on only to discover a broken screen. You fought the odds and won with some fantastic finds!
Show your video to Garrett and they might send you a new one as a thank you for years of great hunting with the AT Pro! I have the same machine and love it... thanks for the video!
Thank you for being an awesome guy that loves to explain his methods
Nothing can keep a good detector down! This vid shows how well you know your detector and showing you can detect blindly off of sound. You my friend are an inspiration to this hobby! Absolutely love how you explain everything from your methods of detecting,the finds you have and about nature and your surroundings. Congrats on your incredible finds from your buckles to the Reale!!! 👍
I’d be interested in how the landowner reacted to your finds. Amazing day...thanks for sharing. 🤓
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
I bought an AT Max a month ago and after changing a problematic coil was advised by the shop owner that the numbers are purely a guide. Listening for the tones, you'll eventually tune yourself into the machine, without realising it, this is what you've done Bud. I wouldn't even bother changing/repairing it unless Garrett want to give you one gratis!! All the best from SE England, keep those videos coming.
I recently had a problem with my garrett detector and they were absolutely awesome to deal with. They took care of everything super fast and friendly too. That experience will go a long way into what detectors I will buy in the future! Great video, even broken your garrett still found treasure.
Max Sands I have a 6 year old At Pro and an At Max that I thought was out of warranty when it started that chatter at anything above 2 bars sensitivity. Talked to the nicest girl who did inform me I was still under warranty and instructed me how to send it. I had my backup so I was in no hurry to get the Max back, however, 10 days later Mr. FedEx rolled in and handed the ole girl back. NEW coil, coil cover, control head, batteries with battery holder and also hardware to attach the coil to the shaft. Talk about customer service!! Oh, and it works great too...Scotty.
Garrett is the best IMO. I think these people talking about the equinox 800 are crazy. I would like to try one to see tho
They aren’t crazy. Go get one
This is my favorite channel on RUclips! I look forward to your videos every Friday. Thank you
Brad, I subscribe to dozens of metal detecting channels and my normal Friday morning routine is to get up, drink my coffee and watch any new posts I haven't already watched during the week. However, I always save your videos till last. The quality of your videos far exceeds any other channels I subscribe to. The videography of the beautiful Vermont woods along with your music makes your videos the best out there! You should have your own TV show. I throughly enjoy each video you post and look forward to saving the best till last each Friday morning. Keep up the excellent work my friend.
This has been one of my favorite videos. The items u found are so relatable. I can close my eyes and picture it being used almost 250 yrs ago. American history is my passion, so ty for posting ur videos. Well done sir!
Your videos sell more Garret Metal Detectors than they could imagine. Maybe Garret can find it in their heart to send you a new one, no charge. If The Chigg knows about this, I’m sure he’d be happy to share the wealth.
I would buy a cd with all of your songs! Really enjoy your videos, the beautiful countryside and most of all the music! Thank you for sharing it all with us! Go safe!
I find the shoe buckles are just so intriguing. Remnants of a life lost to time. It has to be so marvelous just to touch and feel history from the treasures you find. I love your channel and what you get to do. It is so special!
Brad just so excited for you, you did well, amazing things....was sad when heard your detector was broken, but you didnt give in and where rewarded
thanks for showing little flowers, natural growth, enjoy it all....Camille Australia
I have been using a pipe finder metal detector, I bought it for 2 bucks at a yard sale, it works great, I've found all kinds of things, my best find was avon lip sticks from the early 1800's , i love your vidios keep up the great work, love from Indiana
Would be awesome if you could update or slip in at the end of the video what the land owner kept and what you were able to take. Thanks for the GREAT videos!!
I bet he was able to keep the treasures.
great video as always, a lot of viewers get their days brightened by you, i'm just one of many thanks brad
I would love to see the property owners reaction in some of your videos.
Lots of great finds! Thanks for sharing!
As always great to watch and thanks for sharing. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
Hi Brad, I think you did amazing under the circumstances, just the thunder alone would have had me booking it back home lol. A true trooper, congrats on your silver Real. That would have been so awesome to see how the landowner reacted after saying you wouldn't find anything. Thank you so much for sharing your day. x
Another great video. I have run out of complements for your work. Your vids are simply the best.
You don't need a screen, your ears are tuned to the machine. Very nice selection of artifacts & SILVER, Hell yeah
What a day!!!! Wow! A SHR with a broken metal detector??!!!??? Unreal and so, so exciting!!! Congratulations!!!!!
Hey Mountain Man
They say a poor carpenter blames his tools. You just proved that you are anything but a poor carpenter !!! You went forward with what you had available when a lot of people would have just gone home.
By using what you had for tools and using your skills, you turned what could have been a washout into a successful hunt.
Laurels for your perseverance and skills. Keep on keeping on
With 2 recent knee replacements, my days of vaulting fallen trees are long over, but it sure was fun to see you do it!
😢 I'm so sorry. I'm getting to the point that at 54, my knees are hurting so badly constantly that I see knee replacements not to far in my future.
I have a 30 year old Tesoro detector that is basically a box with switches on it no screen. Never had to have it worked on and is still under warranty. I have more silver than anything else with it. I also have a 30 year old Garrett I bought both of them a couple of months apart in 1989. Another good hunt and video from you, thanks.
Your finds from so long ago NEVER gets boring watching!! Silver coin-Awesome! Although I love the key the best! Thanks for trudging through the worm things & cobwebs for another great video!!
Half of the so called metal detectors on You Tube can barely find anything good with a working metal detector, but leave it to Brad with a busted one.....Nice finds Brad.
Brad... your ears are keen to the tones no doubt. That detector has been good to you. If you haven't already, send it in get it fixed. Garrett is a great company and fits your style. Great job my friend - Onwards and Upwards!!!!!
Like I always say, You are the man. Thanks for sharing that great hunt.
The infamous old statement.... "ah you're not going to find anything out there...." challenge accepted :-) great finds Brad!
I have found several half reales at cellars that are totally worn but had those marks on them and have always found them around buttons, my belief is that they used them as thimbles to push the needles through clothing. I think once they lost there value as a coin they would re purpose them as such. Great video as always.
Wow. That's crazy yet most likely accurate.
Just amazing, to think it's the same year the Declaration of Independence was signed. So cool. Thanks for sharing. *Chris*
Great finds, a super half Real. What a day! Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend!
Winter is coming. I am dreaded not having my Friday Green Mountain Detecting in a couple of months. Great finds today. You never fail to amaze me.
That Will be a sad time. Brad makes the best videos and is excellent at what he does!
You had some really awesome finds, Brad! I'm glad you will be able to show the landowner how wrong he was about his property! Sorry about your detector, too. Technology is both a blessing and a curse sometimes!
Nice. The detecting equivalent of a blind squirrel still finding an old nut or two. Congrats.
Awesome adventure...
Great finds, even with a broken detector, you're a pro!! Love the big trees.
Great video depicting a broken screen on your detector...enjoyed the struggle..well worth it..great day..great final find
Have been a fan for almost 2 yrs! Friday evenings waiting to find your great videos. I had missed the growth of your subs, glad you are getting a following. Knowing the sounds of your detector shows, plus your knowledge and research of the areas history, CONGRATS!
Another awesome Friday video !! Amazed at how well preserved the shoe buckle in the surface was 🤔 Spanish silver !! Land owner I bet was in total disbelief . Thanx for posting every week !
Even with dirt on you face, your videos are the best. It wouldn't be any fun without mother nature's dirt.
Some very nice finds despite a broken metal detector!!! Love these videos, so please keep them coming!!!
Maybe you ought to continue using the broken detector. You're digging things you probably normally wouldn't. But look what you're finding. Love it. Great video. Hope you can get a new one soon. Metal detector I mean. One of my favorite channels on RUclips. Actually I think you're about my favoritest Channel on RUclips.
Just wanted to let you know I enjoy all the still photos you share with use while on your detecting outings. I had no concept of the natural beauty of that area. I'm from SWNebr. and there is nothing like that here. Thank you, Steve
Glad to hear it, Steve!
Really cool ! Would of loved to see the Land Owners reaction on your broke detector spoils ! it is pretty cool to see that you know your machine good enough to not really hinder the search !!!
Wow Brad even with a broken machine you can go with everything that you know you can still find great objects. I am also addicted to Fridays to get here and thank you for sharing with me.
Great fun as usual but the positive attitude made it a great success too ! That was great team work from the home front ! It was really nice of your wife to let you know you didn't have to leave the woods early because of weather !! Those were really great buckles but a Spanish coin is too cool Well done !
Great video! I'm happy for you and your finds. I believe that your videos are the best of the bunch out there. As a kid growing up in Western NY, I was always in the woods looking for stuff. It's a great feeling. Rog
How fun and interesting.have watched your videos for very long time and find not matter what the circumstances you face, you are so calm and an expert in your field. Thank You.
Incredible finds! Beautiful area!
Always makes my Friday to see what you've found. The early Colonial people cleared off land in New England and piled the stones they had picked up in the cleared off land, only to discover that they just couldn't make it by farming. They eventually left for better land to the West and South. You are left with the stacked stone walls and the ruins of their homes.
The saw blade you found. could it be a bone saw? I would love to see a video of the owner's reaction and how you presented the artifacts to him. I would watch it the vlog.
Brad! I hate to be the person who tells you this but, when that particular variety of spider bites a human, the spider toxin turns the human into a zombie! Just teasing! That Spanish 1/2 Real is truly an awesome find! It never ceases to amaze me when a Spanish coin turns up in Vermont. Good job, guy!
Awesome find on with Spanish coin . You did great with a broken detector ! Thank you for awesome video !
Too funny. Love it when I'm told you cant do that but go ahead and give it a try. Looked like the Tesoro worked out well for you. Great hunt... Beep... Dig...
Great job! Beautiful country. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
hopefully the good people from Garret can send u a new one!keep up the great work!
Hopefully, they won't, and he can get a minelab or something, so he can start adding to his silver coin count loll
@@patprop74 I agree
@@patprop74 I bought the equinox 800 and now I feel like a dirty cheater lol
@@pauljb1979 lmao That good it is huh? is it metal detecting made easy? I Make my own detectors, which perform very well, nonetheless. I am saving up my detecting loot to buy an EQ800 for next season.
@@patprop74 I won't knock the at max but I pulled silver from a small area I've been hitting with my f75se for several years.
Top job Brad it just shows how in tune you are with your detector ,and was the land owner impressed ? thanks from the UK
Great video Brad. Not having VDI really puts your skills to the test. My first couple of machines had audio only and you seem to be unfazed!!
Would love to hear more follow up on your interactions with the land owners after your finds. Would be very interesting
Thanks for another excellent video Brad! Sorry about your Garrett ... :(
Thanks for another great adventure.
Very cool finds. The silver is nice but that bone handle was my favorite. Thanks for sharing and take care.
This was a gem. Ghost flower, stinging nettle, the rare fork, the Spanish silver, a mysterious key, and your Gurkha skills going over that log! (Time to upgrade to the waterproof pro brother!)
What a great hunt with some really awesome finds and you "weren't gonna find anything"!😃I would love to have seen the owners reaction! Take care and best wishes!!!
Mate I love your stuff, great job with a busted detector. Keep them coming! Appreciation from Australia
should send/notify Garrett of your finds with a 'broken' metal detector..and how the machine still facilitated you finding relics...first video of anybody i know that hunted with a broken detector..great video...if you start a fund for a new one lest us know i will chip in..you deserve that for the content you provide..
The reaction of the landowner when shown what was found would be sweet to see. Great video tho, love the adventure every time. 👍
Brad you are a natural! Broken detector! No matter! Perfect buckles, beautiful key and the half raele too cool!
You showed that landowner. Got some awesome finds
Excellent video. Congratulations on all of your discoveries.
Hope the repairs or replacement won’t be too much of a hassle and that we will be able to see your next video soon.
In any case, from Belgium, thank you for those beautiful moments 🖖
I also hate spider webs... no problems with the spiders but their webs are driving me crazy!
Another great video Brad 👍👍 keep up the good work 👍👍
Nice work Brad!
Great video. I look forward to your videos every week. Good job.
Great vids Bud. The irony is hilarious. Broken detector and awesome finds.
Great finds~ lots of Garrett comments~ the Pro has a thin screen but Max is a little thicker. But I have no farm fields but only the harshest of terrains to detect on, on which I used Whites and Minelab before~ Garrett is THE detector for tough terrain, not perfect, but ,for me, they pay for themselves.
Ahh. The love of metal detecting, even with faulty equipment.😜 Just a thought-Ever bring a test coin along to check if there is failure? Glad you found great pieces of history despite the doubts and a blind screen. I think numbers get in the way of possibilities anyways, unless you’re seriously in a time crunch.
Once again great video and it shows it is the detectorist rather than the detector who makes the finds!
Nice job Brad, good finds!
Wow, it almost seems like no one had been there since the revolution. Definitely some of the best finds!
AWESOME FINDS!! I've had a night hunt and you literally run on sound only... It's different but fun... BUT even though Garrett is right down the street from me.. I'd be crying to see my screen like that. LOL you handled it well.. great video!
An old french fry basket works very well as a sifter. I used one for years looking for gold and other things in the creeks. $1 at thrift stores.
Great idea! Thanks!
Awesome adventure Brad! Great finds considering!
That coin is a real find along with that old padlock key. I took my detector out today in the mountains west of Fort Collins, CO and found lots of spent bullets and casings and an old hex key. Happy diggin.
Best metal detecting videos on RUclips!
It is so nice to find your new videos posted. Great job! It looks like so much fun.
My Friday has been already made better with having a GMMD video to watch; while drinking my coffee 😀 Congrats on the half reale and the other great finds; now the land ownerknows that there was at least 1 homesite on his property!!
I'm like others here. Try a Nox 800 and see what else is still waiting for you to find at some of locations you've already hit!
A series of good finds even if the detector was broken! Nice hunt & thanks!
Great finds under the circumstances....WoW, the Spanish Real is a super find! Wonderful video as usual. Get your detector fixed, go back to the spot to find the “Treasure Chest full of Reals”(don’t forget the key...) 😃HH and GL from Canada.🙏🏼🍀❤️👋🏼🇨🇦
Good morning Brad !! Some really great finds today !! I enjoyed it as always !!
Overcome and adapt the situation. Great hunt🇺🇸👍🏼
Great hunt! Heck you found more with a broken detector in the woods than I do with a new one in the city LOL... As always thanks for sharing.
I been using a Bounty Tracker IV for several years. It has no screen, just a meter - the needle jumps on detection but that's not useful. The machine does have two tones in discriminate mode which helps with target identification. It's a little like flying blind but I've found lots of interesting and quality stuff. Instrumentation is nice to have but consider your broken display on that hunt to be a good thing, an experience in the basic art of metal detecting. I really enjoy your channel. I'm in Colorado and have no opportunity to find stuff from the colonial period.
