This guy is just great! He is the very essence of a truly professional metal detectorist - knowledgeable, articulate, respectful of his surroundings and so easy to watch and listen to. Seems like a genuine nice guy too! Keep up the great work!!
I’ve been watching your vids since the early days and I gotta say you still make some of the best vids. Excellent music and editing. Thanks for sharing!

I met a metal detector from southern NY in York Maine over the summer. We started talking and you came up in the conversation Brad. Keep up the good work!
I'm impressed by your knowledge of all the goodies you find, but the best part about the videos is that it means that tomorrow is SATURDAY! Great work!
My great grandfather had a blacksmith shop in Charlotte and I just bought a new metal detector to go to that spot. My grandmother always pointed out where the shop was in the early 1900’s.
If you want to do a few in action hunts/digs do Like another detector does he took a go pro and put a bolt thru the bill of his cap and the gopro is on the bolt sitting on top of cap bill seems to work pretty good. But I see you try to make your videos like a movie. you want to look/talk into the camera a lot. You could do 2-4 like this it sees everything your seeing.
Brad, thanks for another "discovery day" in the woods of Vermont .. As dry as it's been this year I would assume the dry stream beds and their tributaries might be the fresh "picking fields" to focus on for lost treasure and those elusive Colonial coins .. Thanks for sharing the day.
Good morning Brad! For so little rain it's still beautiful country, you know I love the different fungi shots .. Maybe the stirrup was for a child or a lady. awesome find! I won't mention all the finds but I thought they were all great . such a pleasure to hear you picturing their use. loved it! see you next week! you're the best!
Dude I hear you with the live dig, you get all excited it will be a great video and then trash. Then when you don't do a live dig, it is something awesome. That's why I try to get awesome short stuff LOL. I can always tell you got a lot of time into the videos, a lot more then the actual detecting. Some great finds. Thanks for sharing.
I love this show and I don't own a metal detector. I watched one of your videos a long time ago and was hooked. You're extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter, and very enjoyable to watch. And you've had some incredible finds! The gold Spanish Escudos were great. Everything from Europe was great. The gold nugget was completely unexpected. But the Continental Army coat button still gives me the chills! How fantastic was that to find? Amazing! I usually have about an hour after work just to relax- before a tornado of a 4 year old girl gets home and demands all of my attention. And that hour has become my Green Mountain Metal Detecting time. I've enjoyed watching old episodes and appreciate all that you do. Thank you for posting and sharing your knowledge. If you ever find yourself near Portland, Oregon, look me up. There's still a Spanish treasure somewhere on Neahkahnie Mountain to find (although the State of Oregon won't let peope dig there anymore, and would keep everything we found). Thanks again, Matt.
Ive seen a lot of people make comments on various channels that the creators are “the bob ross” of this or that. Not to be a copy cat but i say you are the young bob ross of wilderness metal detecting. You are very calm and cool and your voice is often slow and soothing and quiet. Great to relax to while being entertained when unwinding is needed. 👍🏻
@9:12 Brad, that is correct. It is a piece of cooking Ware. The forked pin in the Buckle tells the tale. I can only assume that the metal j- rod is narrow and the forked pin fits over it. Used to adjust the height or position of a suspended pot, or whatever piece of food that was being cooked, over the appropriate part of the fire. Every cooking fire would have needed more than one cooking chain. These have long hourglass-shaped links with a ball on one end of the chain.
Good job Brad! You make the best metal detecting videos on the net. Don’t know why you don’t have a ton more subscribers. Just keep up the good work! Thanks.
You don't have to dig on camera, I totally trust u not to scam or cheat us in any way! I like the way u film ur detecting it's why I only watch you! Looks like a posh lady lived at this sight! That little stirrup, the fancy horse badge, parcel loop! Kinda weird not hearing any birds??? Is there a storm coming??? 🤣🤣💕💜💙
Wow what an awesomely huge bell! I am home bound so your Friday posts bring me such joy! Also, I lived in MASSACHUSETTS for 30 years so you bring me home to New England !!
Well Brad, another fine adventure in the mountains. I enjoy them all. The curly iron piece makes me think of the surround on a buggy seat. It could have been part of many things. If you're in western Maine and want to try forging, look me up. I'm still listed in that thing we called a phone book. Thanks again for sharing the day with us.
Great finds I think the curly iron piece is what they used to hold pots over the fire I’ve seen them here in Ohio at the Ohio village , I love the old stuff too I just know their fireplaces smoked so much lol if you’ve every been to a old village where you can buy things like that and candles homemade , it’s pretty awesome
Great overlay on the coin to show the bust it really nailed it another great video my friend thank you so much for sharing me and the girls appreciate you🐶😎🐶✌️
I'm moving back to central MA in a month and I cant wait to get back out detecting. I've been in NC for four years and I haven't found much of anything really good. I cant wait to visit some of those old home sites from the 1700's . Thanks for the videos Brad, its renewed my interest!
I have always enjoy your videos I would say keep on doing what you have been doing if it's not broke don't fix it ⚒️⚒️⚒️👍🇺🇸♥️🗝️ You have some really amazing artifacts and coins
I have seen metal detectors not sold in the USA that look really good. I did an internet search today and a European post also mentioned one person in a few different countries to watch for on UA-cam. You were mentioned for the US. Congrats.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that dreams of an early American blacksmiths shop ..... I live in the Hilltown's in Massachusetts and my hunts mirror your for items. Datable items like coins go from 1700s to about 1850, then nothing. Gone. A couple towns down the mountain and I start getting into 1900s items, but up here 1850 is it. Most datable coins are KG's, early American coppers like draped busts, matrons, etc. Reales, seated, bust silvers. All early dates, and I wonder what happened in the 1850s and where did everyone go up here?
When modern life gets me down, your excellent videography, music and interesting historical commentary pick me right back up. Not to mention your great smile too! Thanks!
Blacksmithed iron rusts more slowly. That is a blacksmithed wall hook that held horse tack, hung from the buckle. Wooden pegs were more common but farmers used what was handy. The stirrup looks like racing or genteel tack versus working saddlery
Brad love your videos and look forward to each adventure. Any chance you’d ever give us a peek of your displayed collection? Would love to see what you’ve found over the years.
Brad.. literally I wait for Fridays 😂. I'm a newbie detector. Live in Northern Maine so 1820s is about as low as I could possibly find. I'd give a pretty dime to detect with you, in Vermont, with my $80 Gold finder 😂. 1891 v nickel is my oldest. You should host a FanHunt?! I'm coming if you do!
Do you ever watch mudlarking videos? It's a UK thing. I've been watching Tom Burleigh since just before the pandemic, so over 3 years now. To me, you are the American version of him, and have inspired me to look more closely at my ground. Thank you for your beautiful videos.
Awesome Trip Brad! Thanks for taking time to show the DIG!!!!! HOW ABOUT a hanger for drying shoes from walking in the stream? lol. Wicked coins. Thanks, Love it. 😎
At 9:00, I believe is a harness hanger to dry the sweat soaked harness after a days work. In Oregon there were harness drying towers at the end of the barns.
I believe the smaller size stirrup to have once been on a lady's side saddle. Ladies side saddles typically only had 1 stirrup and would have been smaller than those for a man.
I am truly jealous of your location. You inspired me to buy a metal detector, I decided go big or don’t go, bought a Garret AT pro. I love it, but, being from the Midwest we don’t have all of the really cool old, old stuff you find. There simply weren’t people here that far back. I have managed to sort out a lot of the legends of the family farm with my detector. They are useful in so many ways I never thought. I always enjoy checking in and vegging out to the beauty of the mountains. Thanks and keep digging!
Nice video friend ! Amazing how you managed to show us that old time weathered coin by showing one less tarnished ! Great video work indeed as i know that is not easy, well done !!
I just ran across you bout a week ago and I'm really enjoying them. I've seen the oldest coins on your videos. An electrolysis tank is really good about taking rust off of stuff and not harming the piece. Thanks for sharing your videos!
I just subscribed to your channel. I like your style. You are discovering our history and don't seem to be looking for loot as most channels. It is refreshing and pleasing to experience how simple life used to be in America. I look forward to your new and old vids. Thank you.
Brad huge congratulations on all your finds. Love watching your videos. So thank you muchly(I made up that word). I hope your next hunt is as good as this one…
It may surprise you to know that the word 'muchly' is a real word. According to Google, it's also in the scrabble dictionary. I also remember hearing it used by adults when I was a child 😇
@@mariebonfiglio2063 Just so you know, I've always loved the word 'muchly' even though it's also classified as a superfluous verb. I hope you get to use it as often as you want, whenever you want 😇 👋🏽

He'd four wheel into the site and show some beautiful scenery.
👍🏻 every Friday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺
I think they have gotten better with time.
I always look forward to Friday mornings and watch this over breakfast and coffee

Great idea
6:16 Amazing!
I love your music ...yes i love your videos as well,!
John from Edmonton Alberta Canada! Hi 👋 You Make Your Adventures So Interesting! Thank You! Be Safe Out There!
HEY! Good morning Brad and of course thumbs UP!!
present my friend... healthy and successful always.. greetings from the digger of Indonesian natural resources..🙏⛏️⚒️❤️🇮🇩
Besides watching all your adventures and really enjoying your hunts, I love watching your videos to hear the wonderful music you play.
Me too!
Another great video Brad! We all Thank you!
I met a metal detector from southern NY in York Maine over the summer. We started talking and you came up in the conversation Brad. Keep up the good work!
Awesome thanks for the adventure
i love it when you show the item after you clean it up as best you can thank you looks like fun
I don’t want you to dig, just to dig. Just the good stuff.
Yay Brad! You finally found Ye Olde Pants-hanger! ;)
AHHH, a Predator in the area! Sasquatch? Love your Hunts.
Stirrup looks to be an English riding stirrup. English stirrups are noticeably smaller than a western saddle stirrup.
Love Australian Friday nights. Perfect for GMMD video drops.
I'm impressed by your knowledge of all the goodies you find, but the best part about the videos is that it means that tomorrow is SATURDAY! Great work!
I love the way you fade a crusty coin to a "good" coin and back again. it's a very professional video technique.
My great grandfather had a blacksmith shop in Charlotte and I just bought a new metal detector to go to that spot. My grandmother always pointed out where the shop was in the early 1900’s.
👍😊 good day
I love the buttons and iron pieces Brad!
It's amazing because you know anything metal were valuable and useful! They always had a very specific purpose.
2:24 That's no bell. It's a space station!

We like live digs, no matter what you find.
That Was Cool, & We Love To Metal Detect 👍👍👍
Brad your so calm.
Again, a great video and super finds! 😁🐝🇨🇦
Coffee an Brad starts a great morning. Can't wait to see what he finds.

Been missing your videos lately. One of my favorite.
Very cool outing. I like seeing even the "junk" digs.
I'm a long time watcher,you do what you do.I Enjoy watching.
Always enjoy the walk through the forests . Takes me back to when I owned land on Stannard Mt and hiked along old carriage roads.
I look forward to this every Friday wake n bake

My Great Uncle Kip ran a forge. My sister and I were allowed to stand in the door and watch him. I found it fascinating, but my sister was bored. LOL

A smaller stirrup, means a smaller foot. Likely from a pony saddle for a child, or to accommodate a tiny woman's boot. 🐎
Well done Brad 💪🍀🤘
You do such a great job! Thank you for the entertainment
