New York copper survived hundreds of years of plow blades, but couldn't survive Brad's shovel on a frost biting cold day!!! Awesome episode!!! Thanks!!!😊❤
Brad, if I had to guess, this was likely the site of an annual fair or festival. My dad and I found a "Harvest Home Festival" site in PA 45 years ago, and it produced like this site did, but probably three times the volume. We found others that produced as well. It makes sense that coinage was dropped as these festivals had lots of game booths and vendors. Great dig, keep it up!
Indeed , I commented same thing. Random bricks probably leveled the rides they brought in and coins scattered probably fell out at ring toss or ping pong ball in fish bowl games
Back in 73 when I had my paperroute I had a new customer addeed one day , little old lady paid me the first 2 weeks with a Standing Liberty Half & a Merc.
Back in the early mid 60’s I had several paper routes. All my change was 90% Silver. I decided to Keep all the Halves and Dimes. Today I still have most the Halves, around 100 of them. What my siblings didn’t find and blow on candy.
When I was 5, now 71, I dug up a handful of standing liberty quarters next to my Grandfathers old grape arbor. he died in 1936 and all were dated prior to that date.
Did you keep them? I have the coins that were in my great grandmother's, dad's, and brothers pockets when they passed away. Sister stole everything in mom and dad's house when mom died.
Shout out to your hunting friends for allowing you to bring us to their honey hole! My guess is the mystery item is an early, cheaper version of a watch fob just based on the shape of the hole, purely conjecture though.
I'm having coffee with Brad on Friday morning. Great hunt for a freezing morning. Some great finds and nice SLQ and New York copper. See you next time and try to stay warm.
It's nice to get the chance to get out during last weekend. 40s and ground not frozen. But this weekend, in the teens with ice and snow. Thanks, February. Great finds, guys.
Great Day of Digging!!! Brad Thank you so very much for sharing it with us!!! I think it was a bank too!!! Money was way to valuable back then!!! God Bless Us All!!!
I was told that men working in the barns lost coins from their pockets, the coins became part of the muck and straw cleaned out of the barns that was then transferred to the fields. That might account for how so many coins wind up in a field - maybe there were a lot of workers losing coins in this farmer’s barn! What a great day - congrats!
Many old colonial homes had plank floors with cracks in between and mats on top. Coins would fall between the cracks and end up in the dirt below. We have a log home and our kids were always stuffing coins in the cracks in the logs. We still find them today 30 years later. There was once an 1836 church down the road that was dismantled years ago. One of the carpenters told me he gathered up a few handfuls of coins when the floorboards were torn up.
In Brittain, when they have an archeology site covered in coins, they lable it a 'meeting' area. A Swap meet, or carnival, or Social Dance place or some other gathering where the coins would flow freely to buy food and drinks and games. Very cool day! baroom chuck.
Love the video AND I HIT THE LIKE Button its the best I do to support and appreciate your work and time you dedicate for us viewers. Thanks for being part of my you tube family for years. Thanks Brad.
Wow, what a great site to detect! Love the editing changing Tom's coin from a quarter, to a half to a Morgan! HAHAHAHA! New York State Copper!!!!! WOOOOOOOW! Congrats Brad! So many amazing coins! Great video!
Man I wish I had Phil and Tom's skills. When it comes to researching old maps for awesome properties to detect on. Awesome hunt guys! You all killed it!
So many artifacts, so awesome. You guys need do write a story about what was going on there . Maybe a big time chicken fight that went bad or something like that. 😂😂😂😂
I was wondering if they had a stockpile like you said but when the large cents etc went out of use they spread them in the field to help prevent slugs. I heard on Charlie’s Not Thursday once that copper Pennie’s were used around gardens for that. It’s a stretch but who knows.
Love your content. Wish you wouldn't spray your coppers when they come out of the ground. I really think Aquachigger's on to something with his approach to cleaning coins. I've only had the opportunity to try his method twice, but I think the coins came out better than spraying them both times.
You have either found someone's hoard that was plowed over again and again,a tavern,a bank or a brothel.could be all of the above. Best of luck safe travels. It's nice having great friends to invite you.when you conduct yourself and your affairs with integrity that's what happens. Now I feel bad I mentioned the brothel..lol GOD BLESS
That's a really interesting mix of finds brad,good site !? The fact the guys shared it shows they're good people ,good stuff all round, we'll miss you tromping through the woods of Vermont till spring melt starts
Congrats. In one day you’ve dug up more stuff than those Oak Island treasure hunters have found in ten years!👍🏻
On the new episode of OAK Island Marty and Rick .find a stick in the swamp .😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😮😮😅😊😅😮😢🎉😂
Joke island is spam like everything online now 😂 trolling for ads

Yes indeed, or a racetrack! People the world over have been having a little flutter on the ponies for a VERY long time!

Pretty cool.
I had a paper route back in the 70s also. My one customer would always give silver for Christmas tips.

I must say, one of the things I appreciate is when you show the item all clean and more identifiable...Could you please show more of that?
Coffee and GMMD is the best way to start my morning.
Let’s go let’s go treasure and adventure 🎉🌎💕🌺👵✌️🇺🇸
Love your videos and your self composed music. Thanks for your hard work keeping us entertained.
My favorite US silver coin..the Standing Liberty quarter! Amazing finds fellas! Congratulations goes out to you all!
Always enjoy your videos Brad. That’s a great property and a couple of good friends for inviting to share it with you.
Brad I'm so happy you're back out in the field thank goodness awesome finds
Fantastic finds Brad! Thanks for bringing us along!
Shout out to your hunting friends for allowing you to bring us to their honey hole! My guess is the mystery item is an early, cheaper version of a watch fob just based on the shape of the hole, purely conjecture though.
Love the real old stuff! Great finds 😊
Wow that NY state copper is beautiful. Congrats. Nice hunt over all. Thanks for sharing.
Good friends and good finds. What a great day!
What a great day you had! How fun and exciting! Love your videos ❤
Wow!! How amazing to find so many coins and relics!!
Great Job Brad
Good people Brad….. 👌
Friends in old places, doesn't get better than that! Great finds!
I'm having coffee with Brad on Friday morning. Great hunt for a freezing morning. Some great finds and nice SLQ and New York copper. See you next time and try to stay warm.
Could of been a tavern. Nice finds Brad!
Maybe a spot where highwaymen divided up their booty? Isn’t it fun to speculate?
Good one, thanks
Great finds in frozen solid ground! Well done Brad.
Wow, super, cool finds, the coins/mouth harp are really cool
It's nice to get the chance to get out during last weekend. 40s and ground not frozen. But this weekend, in the teens with ice and snow. Thanks, February. Great finds, guys.
Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!!
Great saves !! Thats a lot of coins, wonderful day out !!
What a day, ty for this. Incredible finds.🙂💛
Real nice SLQ & congrats on the NY copper. Lots of coppers. All 3 of you guys made a good haul. Coins & relics.

Top notch video! Great friends sharing the site no doubt.
Great day digging with great friends!
Love the music, the scenery and the finds! 🥰💕❤️👍👍 Gentlemen, it’s been great entertainment with my coffee and toast. Thanks!
👍😊 three nice hauls .
Brad, you are just so blessed. It's amazing of all your finds 😊
Awesome friends in Phil and Tom, to think of inviting you to search with them rather than having it all for themselves top chaps they both are !!
You look just like the actor Zach Gilford. Great finds!
Always entertaining and educational! Thanks for bringing us along!
Great Day of Digging!!! Brad Thank you so very much for sharing it with us!!! I think it was a bank too!!! Money was way to valuable back then!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Or a tavern. Inebriated customers would be careless with their money!

Thank you Brad and friends for the adventure and seeing some amazing finds especially the Standing Liberty Quarters !
Brad, awesome cinematography and editing. I love your videos. Keep knocking them off the bucket list!
Been hunting NY FOR 22yrs still don’t HAVE ONE!!!! Congrats

As in the past and enjoyable video with Phil and Tom, hope we continue to see them now and then.

A standing liberty quarter was my first find ever with my first detector 30 yrs ago in my own back yard. love watching your digs.
Congrats on a couple of bucket listers. Plus a whole bunch of coppers on the day
Wow, what a cool spot to find some of what just may be the field of dreams! I hope you're invited back! Keep on digging. ✌️ 😊
Nice to see you out Alexander some interesting finds stay well mate. Al, NJ, USA
So nice of them to save it for you Brad! True friends.
Congrats on the bucket listers!
So much fun! Glad I was led to your channel. Nice to meet you!
A five year old does not think of such things as keepsakes. We were very poor and mother used the money for food. Just another God Sent blessing!!!
What a great couple of friends to let you dig their property! And the selection is great!
Love the video AND I HIT THE LIKE Button its the best I do to support and appreciate your work and time you dedicate for us viewers. Thanks for being part of my you tube family for years. Thanks Brad.

Excellent hunt Brad. I found 3 SLQs in Ontario so far in 9 years detecting.
So many artifacts, so awesome. You guys need do write a story about what was going on there . Maybe a big time chicken fight that went bad or something like that. 😂😂😂😂
What a wonderful day!
Howdy,i really enjoy seeing your finds and like to join you on your adventures.Bless you brother.✌️👍
Keep them coming brad. Good hunt
Excellent finds!

Of course it was the NY copper that was dinged 🤣 awesome hunt!! Awesome guys for inviting you to that great permission!!

It's nice having great friends to invite you.when you conduct yourself and your affairs with integrity that's what happens. Now I feel bad I mentioned the brothel..lol GOD BLESS
Awesome finds Brad! Gotta come back to CT to find more coins!!!

That was fun to watch.
Good morning from Copperhill Tn.
Good evening from Copper Hill, Virginia
Great finds Brad ,would love to have been there with you.The mouth harp i know.Stay warm,stay safe,blessings
Great digs boys !!!
The fact that we can even dig in February is mind boggling. It has been a bad winter for winter sports, but not too shabby for recovering history.
That's a really interesting mix of finds brad,good site !? The fact the guys shared it shows they're good people ,good stuff all round, we'll miss you tromping through the woods of Vermont till spring melt starts
Nice job boys!! Gotta love New England, it’s like metal detecting through a sidewalk
Great hunt and very awesome finds God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Awesome finds Brad!!! Love the jiuce harp!
