In a world full of insanity you are a welcome bit of quiet and joy. Thank you.
Amen!!!!
Amen
You got stung, got wet, broke a tripod, a mic and still kept smiling despite it all. You rock man! Thanks for bringing us your adventures and a positive attitude.
Brad, Love your content. I'm retired Military ,that leaves me plenty of detecting time. I usually work military sites and here in S.C. we have a bunch. From the revolutionary war through WW2 I have found some of the most amazing items. Let me share something my Grandpa told me which led me to 2 of my most fabulous finds. This was 10 years ago and he was 98 at the time. He said "when working old home sites, try to find the outhouse first. then find the path from the house. Here's the best part. What is the first thing everyday a man will do? He will walk that same path to take his morning piss. This allows him to check his money stash buried either side of that path and that it is undisturbed. I have found 2 mason jars jammed full if silver coin. These were 2 separate home sites , about a year apart. The second find was on property that the GIST family (Wiki) homesteaded and was eventually bought by my Mom and Dad. That stash contained much silver but also 3 revolutionary war decorations. I donated them to the S.C. state museum. Thanks, Grandpa. I do notice on your channel you don't seek any outhouse that all (homestead ,tavern, blacksmith) would have had. Try my Grandpas advice. You might be surprised.
Good luck, Regards in advance, Rick.
The silver piece looks like it might be part of a vanity set....to me it looks like a rose carved on it....I think you were right in saying 'lid'.
Obviously the white bottle was medicine to treat bee stings. 😂
😂😂😂
😅
There's a saying (can't back it up with facts) that wherever there's a poison plant, the antidote is found nearby. Maybe whatever was in the jar IS for bee stings? /s
A pot of treasure is the dream. When I was stationed in Europe in the early 90s, I bought a machine and started going detecting. Found lots of neat things- chief among them was a clay pot with hundreds of hammered silvers from the 1400s. Must have been beginners luck, because I haven’t found anything nearly that cool in the thirty years since.
I think that’s a spyder! Oh trap, darn, I guess I was wrong, I love your videos. 🥰💕❤️👍👍
That Bigfoot was fabulous!
Only thing missing was a rabid beaver...as always, great video!
Chig would approve of your message!
Or bat rabies is crazy this year
Or a rabid skunk! Lol!
Looks almost like a mirror or hair brush backing plate. Nice find. Love finding silver!
Man I HATE running into ground hornets in the woods! It's obvious they were protecting the giant nickel stash! Hope you've recovered by now. Thanks for our weekly dose of Vermont and grats on all the nickels.
The metal donut with the flat side hole is a circular saw blade washer and the same are used today. It's big so it may have come from portable mill equipment such as a table saw or radial arm saw.
When I was about 15 (I am now 77) I went to a cabin north of Trois Rivieres Quebec in a car with my father, my two godparents,, my cousin and a window. The window replaced a window broken by a bear. There were four beds in that cottage. I had to sleep on the flour directly below that window. There was a large moose print at the front door when we arrived.
Traps like you describe make sense to me. There were no fish.
peace and love
Brad; We enjoy your videos almost as much as you enjoy your detecting. Gods Speed.
@Green Mountain Detecting my guess is the top of a sterling silver 925 would be the end of a big serving spoon or the top to a fancy lid of some sort, remember if it's squished like that they used to make the bigger pieces with some sort of wax or something as a filler so not as much silver was needed for bigger pieces thats why its squashed. Great Vid btw
When I first started, I dug every signal. Went through a phase where I skipped over signals and consequently past over tons of good stuff. Now I’m back to pulling EVERYTHING, it’s well worth it.
I dig everything also
I've told this true story several times about a man detecting in the early days, 1960's in a park in Western Kentucky. His young son was there with him! Father has dug soda pop cans in the field till he was sick of them. Passed up several loud readings when his boy walked up and asked "are these any good, Dad? He held out 2 Morgans and a Peace dollar!
This does bring up the question of whether a premium detector with better discrimination is worth the money. My Ace 250 seems to do a good job of finding trash . . . and treasure.
@@TomC2100 to further support that thought, I’ve pulled tons of cool stuff with my 50 dollar HARBOR FREIGHT detector before I got my SIMPLEX!
And that was in the early iron age od detecting. He was using a Garrett BFO detector!@@TomC2100
The white jar was probably a milk glass Ponds cold cream container...the silver looks like something from a vanity set ... enjoyed your video 😎👍
Good dig Brad.
One time in 55 years of digging I found 3 Nickles in one day. A V Nickle, Buffalo and a War Nickle.
I set up one narrow section on my detectors that cover nickels and give it a high tone. Since doing that I find many nickels, it doesn’t take long to start recognizing them and have a high percentage of digs be nickels instead of trash.
A Detectorists nightmare! If you were me, you would be in trouble. I am highly allergic and carry an EpiPen had several encounters this year already but I’m on the lookout and usually are able to avoid them. I’m glad you’re not allergic.
Brad, maybe Bigfoot rode a moose through the woods and found a bear in the trap. So Two choices: Bigfoot pulled the trap apart to remove the bear's foot , doctored up the wound and kept him as a pet OR between Mr. Bigfoot and the moose stomped and beat the bear to death to make some good soup for Mr. Bigfoot's family. Though I think Bigfoot might have been a vegetarian, so I'll choose the first ending. I'll have to see if I can find the old movie, 'Harry and the Hendersons' to see if the producers thought they were veggie critters.
Love watching your videos Brad!
Hi, Brad. I don't comment much, but I've watched every one of your videos as well as throwing a thumbs up. You're one of my absolute favorite detecting channels. Embarrassed as I may be, I just realized you've written the music for your videos! Love all the songs. Be safe out there. I'll never forget the time I stuck my hand in a wasp nest while cave exploring in Arizona. Pain!! Thanks for your entertaining videos.
Dang Brad, getting bee stung is not good but I'm sorry it's funny as hell. !
Nice hunt. If you want to know the date on the Buffalo nickel, place it in a small container like a jar lid or small plate with the date side up. Pour in just enough vinegar to cover the coin and sprinkle enough salt to cover it. After about an hour check for the date which most of the time will now be visible.
That Bigfoot looked surprisingly like my oldest brother Charlie, who lived in Vermont in the 80's and 90's.😮
Hard to believe, but Bigfoot startled me. Great finds, but sorry for the problems. Hope you missed the majority of the rain. Thanks much!
I so enjoy watching you find treasure and the beautiful area. I would have kept and cleaned up that white jar.
You'll be seeing me Brad, along with Brandon from Adventure Archaeology. Enjoy your day with the family & Happy digging.
PS Beware of Bees 👍
Crikey! It looks like things went all Indiana Jones on you today!!! Thanks for hanging in there and giving those of us who live through your adventures another entertaining video...stay safe!
Great finds! Rofl on big foot making an appearance! Glad you didn’t have a life threatening reaction to the bee stings. Yikes!!!
I think you can go over a property 8 or 10 times and still find stuff you missed the time before. That's what makes this hobby so much fun. :)
I have a guess on the mystery silver item, I think it's likely the cover to the end of a mirror handle. They were glued on with horse glue or pine pitch which got very brittle with age. Great find!
let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵
Mystery find looks somewhat similar to a vintage pill case top, couldn't make out if there was some type of hinge on the side or just fit over the top of something
What's up bro, I think what you have in that small jar might be Yellow Jacket Sting ointment? Lather it on brother!!! LOL, Stay safe out there. I am looking forward to your next video. Great job finding those nickels!!
That was the most beautiful fifteen cents I have seen in a while. I live in Oregon We don't have older coins here unless the miners lost them.
Hay Brad long time fan, yea those ground dwelling bee's always seem to be aggressive. A medicinal wild plant you might want to familiarize yourself with is plantain. Not related to the banana. There are 2 types, Lance leaf and broad leaf. They are very effective at stopping pain or swelling from insect bites or stings. I was recently stung on the lip by an angry wasp and chewed up a small amount and applied it to the sting. Within minutes all pain was gone and almost no swelling. Really a miraculous plant to know about. Happy hunting.
You live in an absolutely beautiful area! Everything is so pretty and green ❤ unlike Texas where we are in desperate need of rain. Everything here is brown
Chill Bill says dig it all. You've got to dig it all!
He gets Roman's. You get nickels 🥳
Always great videos. Thank you
Dude’s more concerned about his shovel than his camera. Priorities.👍🏻
Great work Brad! I got stung by a bee a few weeks ago too! Thanks for uploading, keep up the great work 🍻
I think the little white jar they call milk glass and it probably contained mentholatum. Thanks for another great video.
Brad, please carry some kind of antihistamine with you on your journeys. It will neutralize the venom of the stings. I have known people who didn't know they were allergic to the stings to drop dead shortly after being stung. Cheap insurance to pop one or two after the event. I never go anywhere without, especially out in nature or even in the garden. Love watching you discover the past and always eagar to see a new video!
Hello Brad the 925 sterling suggests to me to be the top of a glass jar .. whereby woman kept things in ie stamps buttons pins anything small part of a woman’s vanity dresser ..I have a few jars like this and they do have flowers punched in around top on lid … they are turn of the century from Eastern Canada a beautiful find. Thank you for your sharing your videos. Stay Safe
I love SILVER... What a great find 😀
Big eastern coyotes can destroy a leg hold trap . At around 50 lbs they put a lot of force on em when caught ! I had just that problem with #2 coil springs ! Got heaver steel (#3 coil springs) problem solved !
I’m so grateful I found your channel. I love to detect and find your content so intriguing but also therapeutic. I’m able to feel calm and my worries and anxiety quiet down for some moments while I’m watching your videos. These videos are a whole experience for me and I truly appreciate your knowledge, passion and just the whole vibe you create.
We’ll said and I totally agree!
The trifecta of Indian heads nickels! Cool finds. Til next time, keep on digging...
Hi Brad, I sure do like your videos. The trap was missing the pan, jaws and springs and also a chain to secure it. May have been "deconstructed" because the trapper used it for parts to repair another trap. Digging iron signals is a lot of work but can be rewarding. Carrying an epi-pen might be a good idea.
Sorry you got attacked by the bees. You answered my questions about the local wildlife that you see while out on your metal detecting adventures. Keep safe!
Another great video. Thank you. I believe the mystery find is the bottom to a little pill holder or something along those lines. Why i say bottom is because of the stamp. Stamps are usually always on the bottom. ✌❤❤ Benadryl, EpiPen, lavender oil. A must for your dig bag. So glad you are not allergic that could have been disastrous✌❤🙏
Why is it always a great signal in an insect nest. I have been chased out before. But luckily I wasn't stung. Man, I feel for you, and you just kept right on going. Such a trooper. I totally appreciate your dedication. Thanks for another great video.
Brad, I once found a cold cream jar just like yours in the front yard of an old home in Hamlet, NC. It was jingling when I shook it so I became very excited. Inside I found old marbles that a child had obviously buried. I saved it with the marbles and it is the only cache I ever found. Thanks for your videos they make an old detectorist's day.
Awesome adventure once again. Way to keep moving forward. Thanks for sharing!!!
I love watching you dig up the treasures of the past. I am into genealogy and can imagine which one of my ancestors may have carried that old coin you just dug up. I also love the scenery you film, it is beautiful and you do such a good job of capturing the beauty.
Another great show, Brad! Fridays are such a treat to me here in the San Francisco bay area. Thank you for your hard work and insights into our history.
Sorry about the bee stings! LOL. I don't look forward to too many new videos coming out every week, but I look forward to yours whether I'm busy or even not feeling it for the day. You do an outstanding job and seemed so genuinely interested in most all of your finds. Thank you, love the nature pics also. Just stunning!
Thank you, Brad.
Dangerous out there!
"Three Coins In A Fountain" Great video with great music, thanks.
Awesome, Brad. Thank you for sharing what you do!
Those ground bees are hellions. We had a nest near our porch and they were hard to get rid of.
What is the status of your new story and where is Eddie?
I enjoy your videos because you so clearly enjoy the hunt. The only thing I can think of that I would like to see is a flash of the cleaned item after you find it. You do that occasionally and I really enjoy it. Maybe others would also. Thanks for your videos. I look forward to them each week.
Nice hunt Brad congrats on the silver. Nickels are always a good find, yellow jackets are not.👋👍
Looking forward to each drop more than Curse of Oak Island. You actually find good stuff. And underbudget, I imagine.
Never disappointed adventuring with Brad, aka "you" but sometimes the bar gets raised! "Black Bear, Moose, Bigfoot?" I'm dying! You found some great treasures at the expense of your own hide and some equipment so, let's call it a win. Finished up on the side of a hill in Vermont under a canopy of trees while a storm rolls up on you. I know that clean, soothing smell myself and with the smell of Georgia Pines on a warm day are two favorite smells that make you glad to be alive.
Could your mystery find be a snuff container lid? I enjoy all your videos. Thank you
In regards to the silver piece, it could possibly have been a pistol grip cap. Maybe from a handgun or even a rifle. Sometimes they were a press fit with 1 or 2 screws holding it in place. There does seem to be the remnant of a screw hole on one end. These adornments were common on early firearms and what else was typical was using the butt of a pistol like a hammer. It would explain the damage. Just a thought. Love your show!
Hey Brad, Excellent finds... as usual!! As for your silver, When they were doing the groundwork to build the Rockies baseball park, I got quite a bit of detecting done. This area was from when Denver was just a cow town. Anyway, I found a sterling silver snuff box with a lid that looked very close to your silver and if I remember right the markings were very similar. I wish I still had it today, but a guy made me an offer that I couldn't refuse so I sold it.
I love sucking up them damn wasp's in my shopvac.
Brad
Brad, Aug 25, 2023 is obviously Green Mountain Nickel Day. Congrats! Next year when you go back to this location perhaps you will meet the sons on those bees.
I was around 11 and was running with some friends and found the ground bee swarm. About a couple of dozen or so stung me! I was taken to a nearby hospital by my dad, medicine given and no problems associated with the stings!! Thank God!! They don't like their home being disturbed at all, do they!?!
I was standing t the sink today, doing dishes, and found one of your vlog pieces of music going through my head, and a penny (or three nickels?) dropped: I haven't watched the latest episode! I got very excited. I'm sorry for all your bad luck making this one; i feel kinda guilty that this was wonderful medicine for me, as I've had such a rough week. It was just what the doctor ordered (not the jar of cream!) Thanks again for the joy you bring.
Oh boy great recovery,Brad.
That happened to me when I was really young. It’s a very scary thing.
Brad, I always look forward to seeing your videos. They never disappoint! Feel free to do more than one video a week- I’m pretty sure everyone here would be thrilled!
Congrats Brad on your nickel coin finds .ty for that extra adventure bee stings lol.awesome video Brad you do a great job . Beautiful Vermont . Thank you for sharing .stay safe !
I wait every Friday for your videos. I love how you peak our curiosity as you show us your finds! Thanks
Always a beautiful day detecting. Thank you so much for bringing us along
I found my first V nickel this year, 1904, My dad used to make part of his living trapping and I think you are right about the trap. Also since you mention bigfoot I will just say that I am convinced there is a phenomena out there that is probably supernatural in origin and so be careful out there. 🤣😅Thanks for the video!
People were outside living and working their own farms. You can see how things would be lost and scattered around. Also this was clearly a multi generation home. Great show!
Especially with the stifling heat here in the midwest you’re video this morning is a real treat! Long to get back in the woods! Thank you
Although we’re sorry to hear of your misfortunes, hopefully the THREE (3!) V's brighten your spirits…along with the consolation that the REST of us UA-cam metal detecting channel guys have 'days of catastrophe' too! I was stung on video once, and another time by red ants while "minding my own business" pinpointing a plug on video.
Glad you kept your smile and oh-so-cool demeanor!
Brad! 🐝 careful where you step! Hope you feel better soon! Luv your adventures finding historical items.. 🐝 safe!
Great finds! I found a no date Buffalo nickel under a shelve in a 100 old building! Soo cool! Colorado here. Thank you Brad!
Hey Brad. Love your videos. I wanted to let you know that Nic A Date can reveal the date on the buffalo nickel. Also, at minute 11:54 you show what I believe to be a Bent Tree which is an old Indian trail marker or a marker of something significant in the area. Just thought I would share that with you.
What no one sees are the enormous number of hours of 'downtime' you spend in making each and every one of your videos! You cover every find so nonchalantly and smoothly, that we all imagine that you have nothing but unique finds all day. When in fact, it must take hours of swinging your magnet detector to come up with each and every video! Respect to you Brad!!
LOL, I've had many mishaps like you did in this one, Brad. It happens. Nice score on the silver, relics, and nickels! Well done as always.
Great video. Awesome guy. Nice footage.
Hi...That Sterling silver thing. Maybe a lid off a snuff box ? Another great video. Keep up the good work.
One of my first significant finds was a 1919 Buffalo. 20 feet later I found a 1894 silver quarter. Love the channel.
Great hunt buddy really enjoy watching your videos God Bless and happy dirt fishing…Virgil
I’m still having a hard time with both reales AND buffs! Congrats!
Late dinner and Brad. Thank you.
Great finds. Glad you're alright after your run in with the yellow jackets. Take care. 🐝🙂
Thanks for working though the pain Brad.
I think the silver piece is half of a broken sterling mirror handle perhaps….I have found some similar adornments. Great finds Brad, thanks for sharing
WELL, FROM BROKEN THINGS TO STINGS! FINDING THE V NICKELS ; SO COOL! THANKS FOR HAVING A CHANNEL. I ENJOY WATCHING, AS WEATHER PERMITS! LOL
Congrats on the 2 V Nickles and the Buffalo Nickle. Love the Suspender piece and Sterling Silver piece also. Great Hunt Brad Take Care
Great job Brad, 3 hundred year old nickels is amazing great hunt. 🇺🇸
Brad, I cannot believe that you continued after the 😮bee attack. You can definitely take pain better than most. Again great video regardless. Look for you next Friday. Thanks Joe.
Great finds, and wonderful video production. A welcome diversion during a quick work break!
Glad you are safe, Brad. Excellent episode as always, thank you.
I recently got a Garrett ace 300 and I can't wait till I can get some permissions to detect
