Hands down- one of the craziest and most valuable thing I've ever found! Original music by Brad Martin www.GMMD.us / greenmountainmetaldete... / green.mountain.metal.d...
The Dime is phenomenal! If I didn't know better, I'd say that was from a mint set, since the coin was struck so hard. The penmenship pin is 20th century; the very simplistic style tells me that. No quill or scrolls or laurel leaves or stars that were all associated with achievment in the 19th century. It's still a very cool find for an old Vermont Farmer/logger. The nugget... I couldn't stop thinking of the poor soul who lost that nugget. What hopes and dreams were dashed when it was lost? Would that have paid for their own land/home? OR was the nugget stolen from someone else, and thankfully dropped by the thief. Whatever the story, I'm glad you found it.
Like others have said, natural placer gold can typically be sold for 24k value. Natural placer nuggets are collectible and sell for 5-10x over placer value. That's one hell of a find! Congrats!
Nice find Brad! as already stated the nugget is far more valuable than the weight of the gold, the location, etc. makes this a very unique find! Congrats !!!
Yes, nugget values are higher than the actual "melt value" of gold, so that would be interesting to know what an appraiser said. Nugget values also consider size and a 15 gram is huge for that area. That is nearly one half a troy ounce and pretty high karat value as well.
*Stake gold nugget location and perform a radial rope search within 60 feet of it. I once found a leather pouch that an animal had dug up, clawed open and scattered coins in one quadrant of a 20 ft radius. Record-winning pilot Steve Fosset was found 2008 through his personal effects which had been distributed in a similar fashion.*
My mother was born in 1924 and, never went to high school. Believe it or not you could find good work back then with only an 8th grade education. She received awards in the 4th, 5th and 7th grades for the Palmer Method of Cursive Writing. Thank you for bringing back some memories from my childhood. It's the first time I've heard those words in probably 50 years.
Even without the gold, I would call this one of your best days yet. As for the nugget, it is extremely unlikely that it was naturally occurring in that spot. It is possible that the road it was on was topped or filled with river gravels containing gold specimens, or it fell from a travellers pack/ pocket. Many people have searched for many years in the RIGHT places, on purpose for a nugget like that and had no luck. So you are indeed lucky, my friend. Nice work, and good luck.
@@LordRustyMcAlpin Hi Rusty , Nothing Against Your Religion and Faith , But I Honestly Do Not Think or Believe That The Bible Had Anything to Do With That Gold Nugget Being Found On That Old Forgotten Gravel Road . It Was Pretty Much a Lucky Day ! Take Care and Stay Blessed .
Sadly there was a day back when that someone would have hydro-blasted the whole side of that mountain after a find like that nugget. Washing all the dirt down into the valleys below just in hopes of more nuggets. So glad we outlawed that practice. Thanks Brad for a great video.
Between the buckle, the pin, the silver coin, and the nugget that trip is better than my friend's best year! What a great day trip. Amazing. You caught lightning in a bottle with that day!
FANTASTIC gold find. As a panner/metel detector in Alaska, I knew immediately that it was a real gold nugget. And an interesting thing is, we could usually tell what area of the Alaskan state the gold came from. "Dirty gold" came around Chicken/Tok area, etc. That's why you were told that it was Vermont gold. They know the mineral contents that made it from your state. Most states have some gold in active/dry stream beds. Detecting around boulders on the opposite side of where the water comes flows, is where most gold accumulates as it swirls around the boulders.
If that nugget could tell the story of how it was lost. Did the person frantically retrace their footsteps to try and find it? What were the effects on that person or their family after losing it? I’m sure it was extremely valuable back then and a heartbreaking loss.
Or it could have been lost after a stage coach heist or a very wealthy person could have dropped it and did not even realize it from the pile of gold that he had we will never have a idea how it got there in all reality.
*I was a highwayman♫* *Along the coach roads I did ride* *With sword and pistol by my side* *Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade* *Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade* *The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five* *But I am still alive...♫*
It may have gotten there in a heavy water flow downhill or got washed out of surrounding rocks. Gold is so heavy it often gets washed to low points and stays there. I was hoping to see a pan of the surrounding areas to look at the inclines
The gold nugget is probably as special a find as you will make in the mountains of Vermont and a seated dime is one of the nicest designs for a silver coin, but the pin you found is unique as there are not that many to be found anywhere. All three finds are special but my favorite is the pin. Great hunt, Brad.
Congratulations on the great finds!! This video is quality over quantity. Gold nugget is super cool. Someone dropped or just a lucky natural gold nugget find. Carried by a glacier perhaps and deposited a long time ago for you to find. Payment for hard work and perseverance! Swing on!!
The gold nugget is a very cool find. A true needle in a hay stack of wilderness. More than likely someones currency dropped long ago. Great find. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
As a homegrown Vermonters that have been gold prospecting in AZ for the last 18 years. The value of a gold nugget is greater than the nugget weight per stock market price. A nugget is a one of a kind naturalmade by nature. A 15 grams nugget in AZ or AK great! A 15 grams nugget in Vt, from VT unbelievable, and fantastic! The rarity of a VT nugget that size will multiply the value. Great find.
Gold is yellowish and Fools Gold is actually gold colored and grows more in a crystal shape. The weight of Gold is different from Fools Gold. Put the two together and you will see the difference in color. Brad's got the fever! Enjoyed the video! Have a great day!
Brad, as much as I enjoy seeing your facial expressions, I'd wear netting. Black flies are mean! For a day that stared out slow, what amazing finds you had today! That nugget is amazing! The seated dime... I won't name all them but what an amazing day. Your face when you thought you saw that nugget was priceless. Thank you for another wonderful video. Best ever!
You have the composure of a mortician. I would have been doing the gold dance and screaming like a little kid getting a new bike. Fantastic. Oh and yeah,. the black flies are HORRIBLE this year! I had to stop after a couple hours detecting the other day because I was going mad from being bit. :) They don't give a tinkers cuss about bug spray.
Holy moly!!! Imagine going out with a metal detector fully expecting literally ANYTHING but gold and finding a massive 15 gram nugget worth an estimated $850!!!! That is an amazing find but not only that the story behind that nugget must have been insanity.... the possibilities are just wild for everything to have had to happen for you to stumble upon it all this time later. This is why I am falling more and more in love with this channel! The history and everything behind each and every item you find is just incredible.
You have the spring time VT wave down pretty good! Have a friend that lives in Guilford , VT and he hits a lot of the streams in VT fishing and crevassing for gold. using very thin hooked tools he probes the cracks and crevasses in the stream beds and has found quite a few nuggets' largest about 3 gm. Highly probable that someone found it in a local stream and as you noted lost it. Great day in spite of the black flies.
Eighty-three is quite the high number for Au in any form (nugget or jewelry.) There isn't a "set" number it'll ring up, but typically it's a low tone - down there in nickle, pop-top and + / - territory. So when you said 83, the last thing I expected to see was a gold nugget - which to me makes this find all the more amazing. Congrats!
Well congratulations on the find of a life for your area. You hit the trifecta gold, silver and copper. You set the bar high for your friends. Happy metal detecting.
Congratulations Brad. Your videos are perfect way you capture and document things like an artist. Nice to see videos about history and stories they can tell not about dollar values. Keep making cool videos dig on !!!
I say, I say there's gold up in them there hills! Way to finish the hunt with a seated dime and wow a gold nugget! That's colonial gold I would imagine! Awesome hunt Brad!
Brad, I MD for nuggets and you need to be aware that “Nugget Value” can be 5X + higher than what the daily going spot gold value or what the Scrap-Gold rate is. Your nugget” is not in that category. Because of: (1) it’s local historical significance (2) because of it’s size and it’s appearance!!!! That said…your beautiful nugget could very well be in the upper X5 - X6 value range “to the right collector.” Congratulations !!! Great Find!!!! Gerard
Beat me to it. You are 100% correct Gerard. A 15 g. nugget is close to being 1/2 oz (troy) and the "specimen" value is definitely more than the simple bullion value. Regardless, IF that was lost, that had to hurt. Nice find Brad. Really nice find. JB
@@gerardange For sure. I'd give a $1,000 for that nugget on the spot right now... so there's that aspect of things. But like baseball cards, unless you sell (or plan to sell in the future) the value is debatable.
@@lsxtmt4910 ( another good point! ) >>> The IRS 🙄!!!! UPDATE: This Just in !!!! Yes in deed on second look amazingly what at first appeared to be a beautiful gold nugget? Now… on Second examination This time more closely (in much better light 💡 💡 !!!) I see that what I first thought was gold > Sadly… it definitely has more of a brassy look to what I thought was a Gold nugget…. (cough ) but honestly…. if it was in fact real gold it really would of been a wonderful find!!!! I really think Brad needs to re-examine what he found in much better light! 💡!!!!! eyes do play tricks on you brother !!!
Nice gold nugget! That's bigger than any gold nugget I've ever found and I gold prospect quite often. I think you're probably right about it being carried as a form of payment. 15 grams would have probably had a similar value to a $10 gold coin back in late 1800's.
Amazing hunt. Even without the gold nugget it was a tremendous day. The gold made it an out of this world day. Congrats Brad, I have watched every video and wouldn’t miss one for the world.
congratulations on the nugget find! I am a retired meteorite seller, and I also collect gold and other rare metals and minerals. The appraisal you have of the nuggets value is low IMHO. An Alaskan nugget is valued differently than an Australian nugget, and both are far less valuable than a Vermont nugget of the same weight. In fact a Vermont nugget of that size is extremely rare!
Perfect Friday video! I know you enjoyed that hunt, just not knowing what treasure you may find would keep anyone going. The years you put into this is rewarding you.
So happy to have enjoyed this day with you! I was in a LIVESTREAM last night and we were all speaking of your channel and how incredible your editing is and all the equipment you use and place in the right areas for awesome captures! So true💯 Been a while since I've been here, so glad I started back with this video💚 That gold was of great value to someone of the past and now recovered by you. Fantastic find, love the dime and the pin brings joy to my heart🤗 I wish more kids these days could have the opportunity to learn handwriting and receive a cool reward of a pin like the one you discovered ! Awesome day out👏👏👏 Thank you🙋
Good vid. There's places out west where the nugget wouldn't be considered massive, but in VT it probably is. Also in a placer deposit even rarer, and it does look placer. What's even bigger is all the finds you're making, beautiful place you're in, anything found is probably old, love the dime. Like time stood still. Maybe the gold was used as payment, it's still done in places such as AK. Once again, great video.
Incredible Brad! Very interesting to find a nugget like that, I agree on your hypothesis as well. Absolutely love that buckle! Seated liberty and Indians are great. Nice hunt brother 👊
That is a metal prospector's dream... that right there is! To put an over-emphasized old timer's spin on it. I think we all would love to go metal prospecting in hopes of finding treasure like that. Coins, buttons, buckles, all are treasure - but gold? HOLY SMOKES! Thanks for sharing.
Brad, I think this has to be one of your best hunts! The gold nugget the most amazing find! You had such a wide variety of old coins and relics! Congratulations on the nugget!
Hi Brad, We were just watching Avant Minning, on UA-cam. Couldn't help but notice, that they are literally playing "Your Song", as they show their Crystals. After watching you for so many years...It was easy to catch. Of course, we all love your music!
WOW!! What a find!! That is so cool. This memory will be shared many times with your friends, family, kids and grandkids. Congrats Brad on the find of a lifetime!!!
Congratulations, sir! What a fantastic day. You rubbing your face "several hours later" at the beginning was definitely not how the day was going to end. A lesson in perseverance.
WOO HOO! WOW Brad! What an awesome find with the GOLD nugget and then all of your other treasures! Congrats on that and thanks for sharing this awesome video!
Finding something that is the color of gold in the shape of a nugget, and that can be seen to have been in that acid soil for many years and even so is not deteriorated, leaves no doubt, it is a gold nugget. This is my first video I see on your channel, I loved the simplicity of your comments, so you already have a new subscriber and since you don't have my like. Greetings from Girona, Catalonia.
Congratulations on your gold find!!! It’s always interesting to see the variety of objects that you find. Always a joy learning the history . Thank you
Congratulations Brad! That gold nugget is an awesome find and that dime is pretty sweet too. Thanks for the history filled videos, I have been enjoying them for a few years now and thanks to you I have gotten into metal detecting.
Congrats Brad, on the great finds, you deserve them, after all the hard work you put into metal detecting in the mountains of VT. Enjoy all your videos, thanks.
How cool was that!!! Love watching and learning. Love seeing the plants, my moms would take us to the woods as kids, teaching us about the woodland flowers and plants
Hi Brad, what a stunning find, congrats on the gold nugget, that is so awesome. The cursive writing pin is such a great find too in itself and all of the other finds too are pretty cool. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Love the wild flowers, trillium and daffodils. The gold nugget! you was more excited over the barber dime than the gold. I would have been shaking and screaming to the top of my lungs. Lol.
Another awesome hunt and video.. Congrats on the gold nugget. The history behind that pin is amazing.. The treasures you find always tell the story of years past.. Thanks for sharing..
I love watching you in areas that once were fields and are now going back to forests. It seems like, in other areas, forests turn into fields, which turn into developments.
I watch your channel, I learn things. How you describe the land ,what to look for. Love the photography is really nice!. Great finds! Keep on hunting/teaching.
Certainly looks like it came out of someone's gold nugget pouch, and the road tells the story nicely. If not, you may have started a Vermont gold rush. xD Regardless, it's an amazing find. How do you top that one? LOL
Mr. JD, great to see you over here, holler at me when you want me to head your way with 6 boxes of halves, my credit union says that isn't a problem... they got me 3 new boxes last week!!! Take Care Rob / FlThunder😎
Hey. Your videos are really great. I watch every morning over breakfast. Your very informative on your finds which makes for a wonderful learning experience. Thank you and I look forward to more videos. Btw, I live in Olympia, WA.
You deserve that nugget for all the great content you have posted.

Congratulations on your gold find!!! It’s always interesting to see the variety of objects that you find. Always a joy learning the history . Thank you
Thank you Brad - a fun hunt! I always enjoy your weekly posts - congrats on the buckle, silver and gold. See you next week. Chuck in NE Kansas
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was from a prospecting channel I follow, not GMMD! Congratulations. And that silver dime is a peach too.
Congratulations Brad! That gold nugget is an awesome find and that dime is pretty sweet too. Thanks for the history filled videos, I have been enjoying them for a few years now and thanks to you I have gotten into metal detecting.
Congrats Brad, on the great finds, you deserve them, after all the hard work you put into metal detecting in the mountains of VT. Enjoy all your videos, thanks.
How cool was that!!! Love watching and learning. Love seeing the plants, my moms would take us to the woods as kids, teaching us about the woodland flowers and plants
Hi Brad, what a stunning find, congrats on the gold nugget, that is so awesome.
The cursive writing pin is such a great find too in itself and all of the other finds

Fantastic finds!!! The flowers are beautiful.
Lovely day around those New England stone walls. That nugget is amazing! Most nugget shooters never find one that size.
Awesome finds. Love Vermont!
Love the wild flowers, trillium and daffodils. The gold nugget! you was more excited over the barber dime than the gold. I would have been shaking and screaming to the top of my lungs. Lol.
Amazing hunt as always. Congrats on the gold nugget and the seated Liberty dime. Both of those are on my bucket list.
Wonderful finds! What fun, thanks for sharing!

I was born and lived all but a dozen years here in Vermont. How exciting to find a piece of gold! It’s very interesting. Glad I found your videos.👍
Awesome brad what a great bunch of finds!
Very happy for you finding that nugget, another awesome vid. keep em coming.
Just subscribed! I love these type of videos, found you by chance. 🇺🇸
I love watching you in areas that once were fields and are now going back to forests. It seems like, in other areas, forests turn into fields, which turn into developments.
I always look forward to Friday because of u.. thank u for your videos keep doing what u do Brad I love it 💜
Congrats on your finds today. I really enjoy your videos and happy you found the gold nugget. .feel sorry for the person who lost it.
I watch your channel, I learn things. How you describe the land ,what to look for. Love the photography is really nice!. Great finds! Keep on hunting/teaching.
Who would have thought? You love all of these things. Good for you, Brad.
What an amazing hunt!
And a beautiful, relaxing video.
Congrats, what a crazy find!
Certainly looks like it came out of someone's gold nugget pouch, and the road tells the story nicely. If not, you may have started a Vermont gold rush. xD
Regardless, it's an amazing find. How do you top that one? LOL
Mr. JD, great to see you over here, holler at me when you want me to head your way with 6 boxes of halves, my credit union says that isn't a problem... they got me 3 new boxes last week!!!
Take Care
