An absolutely OUTSTANDING day of detecting Brad. . And yes I was purposely shouting that out. Wishing you continued success on your future hunts this year.
Another enjoyable excursion with wonderful surprises. When I was younger I wanted to do metal detecting but never got the opportunity, and now with your excellent video's, I do it vicariously through you! Your video's are always a joy to watch and I appreciate you taking the time to add in the beautiful nature you find around you when you dig.
It's sad that an entire generation will have stories of what they have actually done in "real life" and all of the proceeding generations will settle for the "virtual experience".
Brad. That spot has all the makings for a meeting place, or store, or pub. Super fun today.
It's possible that you are the first person to metal detect this field? You looked so happy it made me smile too.
He might be the first time that place saw a detector. He'll have several good return hunts where I bet he pulls up Spanish silver when he slows the search down and he's got this metal out of the way. I'm jealous and I'm even in a really good detecting colonial state myself. He isn't hitting any modern trash that's a dream come true site
Simply amazing! And I am hoping for a return visit.
Had to have been a pub or general store.... a meeting place of some type... I don't believe the average colonial family would have lost so many large coppers.... Great hunt !
I agree. A place where many people gathered, not just one famiy.
@@marcusaurelius2770 They all got drunk and danced the night away in a muddy field!
@@lundysden6781 Ha, yes!!
It could've been a meeting place of patriots hiding during the revolution. Living was tough and buttons were lost the most that many different buttons and buckles speaks more then the coin varieties. Someone traveling could pick up the different coins like the Jersey copper and the counterfeit which is probably worth more then an authentic coin of the same year. The lack of modern trash also makes me think revolutionary war soldiers hiding out and getting prepared. Though I would think musket balls would start to surface
Sweet! Its a Field of Dreams!!! It's going to be an awesome day!!!! Thanks GMMD!🌞
I think you need to spend a lot more time on this property this place is amazing!! Great things you’ve been finding!!
What's more amazing then the colonial find is the fact there's no modern junk so every signal if an artifact of some kind. I'm salivating here just watching

Tell me about it. Nothing but period great finds.
Congratulations on a great day!! Thanks for taking us with you!!
My friday is now complete
Yup, morning coffee and Brad😊
Best thing on Friday morning!
What a great day Brad that was fun! Thank you
What a great day of hunting! Very exciting! Thank you for sharing
Another fantastic hunt!! CONGRATULATIONS.
I've watched your videos for quite a while - just wanted to compliment you on audio quality, video quality and editing. It's far above most. Your glove game is weak though - those are dunzo :)
Wow! A killer permission.
Congrats Brad.
What an absolutely incredible day detecting!!! I dont know how you ever left that spot while the sun was still up? Congrats Brad awesome finds!
Brad, couldn't be happier that those damned black flies chased you out of the mountains. This was an epic adventure that's going to be hard to top....but that's not stopping you from trying, right. Thanks for sharing.
Love yer name... Original.
I'm so happy for you, what a great hunt. You need to go back again and for longer.
What a day! Bucket lister galore. Congratulations
You must be so disappointed missing out on all those black flies and getting swarmed with coppers and buckles instead. 🤪 Congrats on a career day! I've seen the days you've had where just the buttons you found today would have bested your haul. Popping two different Vermonts? Dude you are on fire 🔥Celebrate with new gloves
They are his "lucky" gloves now. Can't get rid of them now.
Definitely one of the best hunts I've seen in a while Brad. Congratulations!!
Breakfast with Green Mountain. 😊😊😊
Love your videos.I’m living through you going through those beautiful mountain woodlands.I’m so jealous.thank you for sharing with us.
What a fun hunt, Brad!! Much more fun than Digstock V, won't you say?? Love your videography!!
Nice spot....you may need to go there again
I can't express enough how much I love your videos and how you explain everything
Fantastic days hunting.
Wonder if the early colonial farmer was a shoemaker/tailor beforehand.
If he was a crafts person like a shoe maker or metal smith there should be a lot of iron from his shops building. But then again he may have dug some iron and didn't put it in the wrap up. The iron can tell you a lot about the structure. A lot cabin would have much less iron being they were pinned together with wooden pegs. What I noticed was the lack of horse tack which should be around any meeting place or church but not found at spots where Patriots might have gathered to work out a strategy or wait for forces to come in. Somewhere should be a fire pit which might offer clues. The mystery is part of the thrill of the hunt
I recently found Terra Germania, a detectors channel very similar to yours in its collecting, video and music quality. Hans works fields and pathways in Germany and I've recently watched him find items from the Roman era to WWII. Do you two ever communicate? His videos remind me of your visit to France.
I always enjoy seeing what you find. I’m glad you had such a remarkable day. Very informative about the history as usual....
Brad - every time I watch one of your videos [and I never miss one] I am impressed by your finds. You have the right skills in the right place at the right time, plus a whole lot of good karma! I moved from the city to the Western Arizona desert a year ago. I have been detecting the area around the Harquahala Mts. The early Spanish had mines in this area from the late 1600's to the mid-1700's. I hope to find a Spanish artifact some day but, even if I don't, this desert is a fascinating place I never get tired of. After all, the destination is not so important as how we get there!
Probably my favorite video to date! I love the way you filmed it!
Oh my, what an exceptional dig and thank you so much for bringing us along!!! GBY
Being a Vermonter and still not finding a vermont copper, watching your videos makes me envious. I can’t wait to find a landscape vermont. Congrats and if you want some company I’m not far away. 😅
Spectacular results on the day. Congratulations!
Awesome hunt! NJ AND Vermont coppers. I get excited just finding more modern coins. Lol. I'd have a heart attack if I ever found those.
Wow Brad you found some beautiful stuff. I'm happy for you and me because I really enjoy your channel. I love your music 🎶 that you have on your channel. Always makes my day.
Excellent day of treasure hunting 😊 Thank you for bringing us along
That would be the perfect hot spot to bring a hunting partner or two. To cover more ground and pull more goodies out of the ground. As always awesome video brad! Well done man!
Pretty sure you should have titled this the DREAM HUNT!!!! Thank you for sharing. Awesome video.
I’m Hiking the AT and I absolutely cannot wait to hit VT. I’ve been watching you for years now and it just excites me to know I’ll be hiking near all that history and makes me wonder what’s under my feet!
Keep up the good work!! Absolutely love your channel!
Wow amazing day, Brad. Congratulations.
Maybe you hit a cobblers shop
I watch all your vids. Makes me a little home sick. Lol.
I grew up on the border between Vermont and Massachusetts in a Mohawk trail town of North Adams but now farm in central Illinois.
I dearly miss my mountains. From the top of my grandfathers mountain you could see seven states if you knew your landmarks.
Here it’s so flat, if your dog ran away you could watch it for miles in the late fall or early spring.
My grandfathers dairy farm was in Stanford Vt. Just about at the top of the mountain. My uncles always told me gramps would bury silver dollars in lead pipes around the farm because he didn’t trust banks. From what I remember they never found them if the stories are true.
I’m 69 now and my uncles are long gone. Sumner was the family name there.
HEY! Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!
Amazing day man! Always look forward to your videos!
Just checking but did you say you were a Ver Monster, never heard of that? Sorry, I am 83 and a biologist, we are sometimes known to have a slightly warped sense of humor. Love your posts!
Sure enjoy these episodes, thanks Brad...
Could this place be, possibly a place of business...wow it's so cool how many coins you've found. I loved today's video... Ty Brad. You're the best...ty
Awesome finds!!! Wondering what the place could have been with all the money, buckles, buttons, and the 2 valve things? Could be a gathering barn for dancing, drinking, and selling of goods. I don't know how close all the finds were. Just like you, I like to think of what they could have been doing besides all the hard labor to lose all the coins. Could only imagine...lol.
Excellent finds!
Thanks Brad really enjoyed your video been a fan and watching you for years!
How exciting. First time you might be very thankful for the black flies chasing you out of the mountains!
👏🏻That was amazing! So many awesome finds! I was thinking maybe there was a church there or some kind of gathering place. You definitely have to go back!! 🔥
Looks like this location's name should be Shoebuckleville. 😊
BLACK FLYS ! Defenders of the Willderness !
Great finds you should go back.
BTW Bens 100% DEET will keep black flys away.
LFOD !
Congratulations on your outstanding finds.
Let’s go, let’s go treasure🌺💕👵✌️
Makes me wonder if maybe they originally had a tavern there or maybe a roadhouse of some sort lots of pocket change a tap buckles maybe who knows
Holy nuts Brad this week's video is 1 for the AGES congratulations on your coins and relics
Would they have built the kitchen in a separate building in that area of the country? instead of a starter house, perhaps it was the kitchen from the main house.
Super hunt, great finds. Is there a land titles office in the vicinity? Or a depository where such records are to be searched. Also plat maps of the area denoting various buildings. Also collections of material that were generated for taxation purposes? It may help your research and , also, answer some of your questions. Are there any archives containing newspapers of those decades? information in them may turn up interesting facts and other information. Thanks for your video. Years ago, I detected north of you in the Montreal , Quebec, area
Just joking, but it's your fault I went and have a metal detector. Why, I have some land and was told a story years ago 35 years or so. About two guys that robbed stores around the area. I found a circle of rocks while looking for trees for firewood. At the time didn't think much about it my thinking someone had a dog or animal and dug a hole for it. So seeing you on u-tube I went a looking and didn't find the circle of rocks. So I got a detector and I'll be darned. Was told by my wife you need to get this and that done before winter. So when I get things under control or work done I'm in the woods looking for that circle of rocks. If I find anything I'll write about it. That be nice if I did. So my wife is mad at you and me, haha not really.
Its the weekend again time for a goid old catch up and a chill out hope your weekhas gone well 👍 👍
Awesome, maybe a great spot to return to!!
This same thing of attacks is happening to me and others i talk to, severe anger lashing from people for no apparent reason. The devil is ramping things up because he knows his time is ending very soon. Thanks for sharing this! Praise God and our Lord Jesus from where our only peace comes from!!!
Amazing finds i love this hobby you never know what your going to find every time i go out it just blows my mind
Wow! Fantastic day of detecting. Beautiful finds. As always, thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Your videography and story telling along the way are always on point and welcome. Enjoyed thoroughly.
Kitchens were not part of the main house because of fire potential. Could be a separated kitchen.
I think that was the original house that the farmer didn't know about.
Awesome food for you, Brad! Have to love finding those spots. I have had a handful of them and they are fantastic fun! Be sure to go over the area at least a few times. Thanks for sharing 👍
I am curious as to why shoe buckles were in common usage, back in the day ? Had shoe ‘ laces ‘ not yet been invented ?
Wow, that's an awesome hunt. Congrats, Brad. Carl
Could there have been a store at the site you were finding so much history? Really enjoy youre videos.
👍😊 nice haul . Are the gloves going to make it much longer . 🤷♂️😁
Some sweet looking finds so far chief.
So cool BRAD, congrats
That place is the perfect era to find that elusive GW button. Good luck
What a great hunt. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing Brad.
You want me to pick you up some gloves next time I'm at the hardware store ? ; )-
I only dream of hunts like that! Great finds!
What an incredible hunt. You are popping Colonial coppers like I dig Memorial cents! Huge congrats!
Those stinkin Lincolns.
Thanks for the great videos can I ask what Detector you use
From Australia, good evening Brad.
What a great day you had! Fantastic finds. Really enjoy your videos ❤
Excellent day! Metal detectors dream day!
Was the smaller building later used by a cobbler/saddlemaker?
Broken buckles (Great stage name ) would have been replaced and the bits put on the midden then later spread on the fields.
Maybe a store or inn built in conjunction with the farm? Might explain the variety and quantity of items.
You found the location of the colonial Payless shoe store...
It sure made your day Brad! It was fun watching you make historical discoveries.
Amazing site! Whether you keep it to yourself, or share it with friends, I hope it keeps giving up the goods for a while!
Wow what a great site. When you see such a large variety of coppers it's usually going to turn out to be an epic hunting site. I would bet anything on a return hunt if you slow down to listen close as the large targets thinned out you're going to pull up Spanish silver and even more button probably a few early lead ones also. That soil is so easy going and kind on the targets being there's not years of salt fertilizers used 100 years later. Good for you I hope you great success all year maybe a gold doubloon is warranted from that field with silver cobs. A couple of those buttons look to be from that time period too so you never know? Good for you!
Another great video Brad. I really liked those 6 copper's you found especially the (2) Vermont large cent's and the New Jersey & the George lll. Plus the relics cool looking shoe & knee buckle pieces.
Incredible finds!
That was fun ! You found a lot on virgin ground !! ❤️
That was a once in a lifetime hunt for a lot of us!
Wasn't the village cobbler was he?
Congratulations on an awesome hunt
What a spot is right! Awesome day u had ! Field of dreams for sure ! 🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆
Possibly a trading post or a tavern
Wow, what a day for you! Congrats 👏...
