Hey Brad!
I wait for your new videos each week.
May I suggest, after finding items like the “sash buckle” it would be really cool to see them after you’ve cleaned them up.
Pop
He used to do that! I haven't tuned in for a while, and he used to show them all cleaned up. I'll comment on that, I loved it.
yes
Yes, that would be nice to see the whole day's find cleaned up at the end of the videos, other channels do that and it makes sense as a lot of the pieces have dirt, corrosion and more than one side that might be in better condition underneath.
Like the new camera. 😊
Yes, continue on with the additional camera. Even though I get a little anxious wondering what you've found now, I think it is a great addition to your 'history detecting' accoutrements.
Like the new camera. It adds to the adventure. Would like to see some of what you collect after you clean them up.
Beautiful surprise finds!
Brad, your statement about holding something in your hand that someone else held a hundred, hundred and fifty years ago is a mindset I share with you. Amateur archeologists love the past. Enjoyed your adventure and look forward to the next.
I feel the same way when I’m out there.
I'm with you there. Holding something like that really makes you feel a part of the history.
More agreement - I like your sense of history. Coins do that for me - the ANA slogan is "History You Can Hold in Your Hand".
As a teenager, my dream was to become an archeologist 😢 I love finding history. At my older age, I love hunting for the history using my metal detector and walking my creeks.
i carry an old stone native american cutting tool in my pocket. i found it in my backyard in southern california. i like to imagine someone hundreds or thousands of years ago carrying it around . it makes me think about people who lived here long ago and it makes me feel less stressed out about the present
Some old wood sash windows have those thumb lock mechanisms to hold the window open at a few preselected heights. Only the flat part would be visible. That’s what it resembles, to me. The door knob was probably found next to it. Often, hardware was transferred from one homesite to another
Completely agree! I recall as a kid seeing these similar locks on my grandparents windows. Great call!
user name checks out.
I was thinking drawer rollers. But just a guess
@@homemprovmentguy will do
I agree
Husband here. Your calm demeanor/tranquillity....your exploring outdoors....your thought process....your curiosity and delicate conclusion. Thank you! wish I was their!!
I was just thinking the same thing. There are many other UA-cam detecting channels, but the guys in them think that screaming at the tops of their lungs everytime they find the slightest thing is a way to add excitement to their videos. I like Brad's approach a million times more.
My father brought my brother and I detecting and it was about 40 yards from a old cemetery out in middle of nowhere and I found a pilgrims shoe buckle solid gold in A+ condition and my grandfather talked me into donating it to the Augusta state museum. That's where it is . Been about 37 years or so . Take my kids to see it once in a while. Archeologists and college professors from all over the world study in . And possibly do the same thing today and donate for everyone to enjoy.
I’ve seen that buckle a couple times, cool that you found it, I’ve been trying to find a site that has stuff that old for a bit now.
why in the world would they make a shoe buckle out of gold, the person who lost it was probably so distraught
IT GREAT TO DO GOOD AND DONATE BUT THIS DAY AND AGE NOPE CANT TRUST ANYTHING AND SHOULD ALWAYS ASK YOUR SELF WOULD THEY DONATE TO YOU IN NEED I THINK NOT unfortunately that's the world we live in today nor can modern day taught history be trusted or modern museums are known to hide and burry artifacts that go against their narrative the sad truth
@@midnitenoondon't believe everything you read.
Brad, It’s hard to improve upon perfection but good for you (and us) that you are always looking to improve your videos. We appreciate you, young man! Always remember that snow is a four letter word!
The new camera is an amazing addition to your videos. As a fellow detectorist that point of view really helps scratch the itch. Your production quality is making it harder and harder to enjoy some of the other channels in the space. Keep up the amazing work.
I was going to give the thumbs up on the live digs before you even asked. It gives the videos more authenticity and a touch of excitement. We get to enjoy the anticipation of the find more. Good job.
Totally agree. Love it! It makes me feeling like I’m part of the experience even more now. I could almost smell the earth and the trees.
Always love a day in the woods with you Brad. One day it would be nice to see the clean up of the cool stuff.
He shows those from time to time when he does a blog. Or sometimes he has videos where he shows his work and how he cleans them up and how he sets them out. If you go through all his videos I bet you'll find some. I know you will I've watched every one of them..
Thumb’s up for the extra camera. Brad, thank you for the breath of fresh air you provide to the day. Some much needed calm in this world!
That mystery button looks like the piece to the old telegraph machines they used to transmit signals/messages using morse code. I'm pretty sure those mystery buttons are the switches for the old telegraph machines for sending and receiving messages for sure. I've just seen that switch so many times in old western films and it fits perfectly with the 1850's time frame.
Exactly what I thought, too! Cool find!
@@christyetter5208 I thought the same...read this comment thread first before posting😊 2nd thought...early doorbell?
That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it also Eternity Sphere.
I was thinking some sort of accounting/ cash register thing but a telegraph part would make sense too
The roller has a function on that button type device a strip of metal probably ran through the gap, someone else mentioned window stay. Needs more research.
I’m a retired 30 years of service police officer. If I was not working I was in the woods/fields. I so enjoy your showing natures growths. Very neat and so pretty. Love you calm and cool attitude. Stay safe.
Hey Brad, it was good to see ya, representing xp Deus at Digstock 2023! Appreciated you being there, but didn’t want to be a fanboy and get a selfie with you. I’m glad for all you do for the metal detecting community keeping people both aware of their history And enthusiastic about, digging it up!
The new camera angle was awesome! Love your videos Brad, you’re an extremely talented dude!
I’m an older Vermonter now living in the beautiful Smoky mountains of East Tennessee for 8 years now. I love the milder winter weather here but miss my real home of Vermont. Watching you satisfies two things for me. It gets me into the forest and I get to watch you enjoy metal detecting which I always wanted to try. I think the new camera is going to work out well although it may not always be aimed correctly. I look forward each week to see what new treasures you will find and try to guess where you might be detecting that week. Thank you for doing what you do so well and bringing me along with you. May god bless you and your family and friends. Thanks so much from Ron C. Originally from Rochester Vt.
Anywhere near Townsend? My late wife and I visited there twice a year for 15 years; GSMNF, Cades Cove, Dogwood Mall...😊
@@hoosierplowboy5299 We call Maryville our home but we are between Florida Tennessee and my home state of Vermont my real home. We love Tennessee and the people here are as nice as home in Vt. We travel in our Ram Promaster Van quite a bit.
Watched you for years Brad, love the added camera angles, give a greater prospective of all you digging. Very cool.
Those clips, I've seen something similar many may years ago on a very old farm machine.
They where recesed into the wood with a spring under them.
You pushed it in and could tighten or loosen a leather strap and when you let go it gripped the leather belt.
The ones I saw where on a static thresher machine from the late 1800's and held the stowage boxes closed.
There was a Bix on each side each with 2 of the clasps.
Don't know if they are the same item but look very similar.
Love the new camera angles BTW.
Charlie 🇬🇧
New camera is great!! Puts us by your side so we can help. Thanks for all your efforts.
The extra camera is an added plus & I like it. I do also really enjoy the bits of nature up there that you show us in every video...those mushrooms, fungi, trees, etc.. SO Pretty ! Thanks for another delightful video. Happy Treasure Hunting !
I definitely liked the new footage. Also, if you are able to track down someone to connect to the trapper's tag, you might ask if the named person also smoked a pipe. They seem to be possibly of similar age.
Another great and entertaining video Brad. Look forward to your work every week. Always enjoy when your friends join you to have some fun, Mike is my favorite, he seemed more like a bodyguard . The new camera angles are great, can’t wait to see what your doing next week.
Brad , I really enjoy you showing the scenery as you're detecting as it allows me to feel like I'm there with you ! Thank you as I've never been to Vermont yet !
Appreciate the new camera footage. Also always appreciate the fungi shots. Thanks for the great videos,
Love your stuff to the point that I can say that they are NOT long enough! Be safe and have a Great Day!
EXACTLY what I was just thinking. Time just flies when the video starts. A testament to your ability to make things interesting. Thank you.
Oh, Brad, bringing back memories. 50 years ago, married a lady from Newport while living in Hawaii. Spent a few weeks in a number of summers on Lake Seymour, and skied Jay Peak a few times in the Winter. Maple syrup, sugar on snow, walleye and perch fishing, vinegar on French fries, Cabot cheese, wonderful people...😊
The new camera was great. The shoe buckle, corset buckle and sash buckle were probably from the same lady. The sash buckle was beautiful and my favorite find for you today.
Great amazing finds . Awesome brass tag you found hopefully you can share a story behind it . Very beautiful scenery .
Ty for sharing this video great 2nd camera thanks Brad
I have been watching your videos for quite some time and have always loved both your photography and your extensive knowledge of the treasures you discover. Having the extra camera adds another element and something more...your commentary while you are going through the complete process is perfect and, to me, makes the videos more complete...
Awesome to see the entire recovery!! Thank you Brad for the incredible videos and information you share.
The two coolest things the sash clasp and shoe buckle made my day. You are so blessed to be able to explore the way you do. Your puzzle pieces look to me possibly like some kind of musical instrument pieces.
I hope you find out and let us know
Thank you, Brad for this video. So many great finds! I really like the three camera set-up.
Nice finds Brad. As a long time fanman of your meticulous uploads, musical ability and historical finds etc.. I'm hooked!!
Been digging a couple of years and wish I had started years ago. Thumbs up on the new camera addition. Had no effect on my vertigo, all is great!! Thanks 👍
First, yes to the added camera. Second, Be nice to see items like the sash buckle after you clean them up for display. Third, I enjoy watching this whole process, so thanks for taking the extra time you spend recording and explaining things.
Great show today I really enjoyed it Gene Gorringe Mi be safe out there watch your six God bless Gene Gorringe Mi 👍🇺🇲🇬🇧
I have enjoyed your channel for quite some time. I think the new perspective of the strap mounted camera works well… no sea-sickness experienced!
Hi Brad! Congratulations on finding that sash buckle. Would love to see how it looks after you clean it up. Love your videos and I always look forward to see what you dig up next! The new camera angle is a great addition.
The extra angles are great. Ever think about a tripod though? In that way you can dig the target with you in view and dub in the close up once you recover it. In any case, just videoing your hunts is always great. You really found some amazing items there. I hope you are going back and hopefully locate the home site.
Thanks for sharing another fantastic hunt with us Brad.
Love the historical/background commentary you’ve added into the vlog… I really enjoy learning/hearing what you have to say about all of these items. Nicely done!
Extra camera probably not worth the trouble. Your metal detector show excels because your don't do a lot of tedious digging on camera. The historical background, the cleanup and the enthusiasm for the objects found is much appreciated. I have learned a lot about VT from your show, even though I attended UVM and should know some stuff.
Door knob is so cool, reminds me of my grandparents house ❤
💥First video of yours I've seen, and I loved it! ❤Most similar metal detecting I have seen are about funding something of monetory value, and I didn't care for that. I am SO with you about finding things that help one feel into the past! Gives us a chance to appreciate all those who have lived through this game before us and paved the way for our .............. progress!? Thank you very much for sharing your passion!!! Your demeanor and attitude ROCK!😊
This was a fine episode. It is pleasant to see your digs from start to finish. I think you should continue this format.
Love going along with you on your adventures. Just a thought, when talking about older clothing, maybe on one of your trips you could visit someplace like Colonial Williamsburg and have the people there show the differences, similarities, and the styles of clothing of those earlier times? Keep doing what you do.
I bet those woods look a lot different today. I was just feeling like it wouldn't be long before I could get out in the woods around here in Franklin County until Mother Nature chimed in this week.
Yes to the third camera! Keep it...brings us with you into the excitement of the find...
First of all you change the music on the intro and I love it! I like all of your music. And see how you're always thinking, this is what sets you apart. You added a camera so we could watch more. Will let you know what we think but I am always impressed by you Brad! Ty
Your finds never disappoint! Thank you, Brad, for keeping us entertained during this dreary winter. Your content is the BEST!!
I'm in complete agreement.
Love your content. Been watching you a long time. You use to show what you find after you have cleaned it up. You are one or the reasons I got into metal detecting.
Brad, your 3rd camera application is excellent and, now I ALMOST feel like I'm digging. Really have enjoyed all your videos for years now, and appreciate your commentary about the "finds" and the nature around you.....pretty pictures.
Naw, no sea sickness here… just lots of chills from the excitement of your finds! 🎊 see you at the next site Brad! Hugs from 💞Kentucky Tere!
Love the videos man maybe check the settings to see if you can get a different picture instead of the fish bowl effect. Think it’s great your trying something different
Love Friday mornings! Cool finds, Monday is the start of spring and look forward to another year of great videos. Thanks Brad!
Thank you Brad! I liked the camera added... The buckle piece you found I see it attaching with another side that would match the square piece, connecting underneath the round I can't think what you call them floral peace and center. As a woman that's how I see that belt buckle closing. It's beautiful.
Love the new camera view. Makes me feel like I'm right there with you during the treasure hunt!!! Thanks!!!🌞😊
Brad, I'm a fan of the extra camera, not too jarring or disorienting at all. It also fills in some gaps, and in most cases allows us to be there for an authentic first response. I've always loved your videos but this new dimension makes them even better. Fantastic finds! Cheers!
Sure would like to see the sash thingy after it's cleaned. The filming was fine. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I do like the extra camera. The search and dig for has more continuity . Feels like being there with you. I'm happy to see you getting out so early in the season. My neck of the woods still has too much snow. Great finds, I'm inspired to get my equipment in order so I can get going as soon as possible. Thanks for taking us out on the search with you!
Great videos. One of the first channels that I've come across that I can set down and really enjoy.
Your editing is fantastic and very well put together.
I did what you are doing for over 30 years, and the way I found treasure hunting was a total accident.
A guy came into my shop and we were talking and he said he had the White's Metal Dectecting store in town.
I stopped by and was blown away by his displays of what he had found and the old 5 gallon glass water bottles full of coins.
I was really interested after that but wasn't sure if I wanted to part with that much money at that time.
He sold me an older used, White's detector and told me to use it for 60 days.
If I brought it back in 60 days, he would give me my money back or allow me to get a better machine, and what I had paid would go to the new one.
You can't beat a deal like that, and the rest is history.
I found way over 10 times what I had invested in my equipment.
Good up the great work.
I'm now a new subscriber.
Really love the music! And natural photos you sprinkle in with your discoveries! Best digger channel ever!
Your gorgeous smile and obvious enjoyment in the woods is bonus!
Thoroughly enjoyed your post! I love treasure hunting and metal detecting is certainly that! A calming break from the hustle and bustle of the majority of the posts…thanks, and I will be back!
My family lived in a house in NH. After some research we found it was built around 1788. The windows were double hung. The upper sash was fixed. There was a thumb latch like the one you found that pushed in so the lower sash could slide up and down. They both had eight lights.. Sadly a month ago the house burned down. I don't how or why--it was empty, but it's sad that it's gone. I do have a metal detector, but haven't done much with it. However, I spent a summer in Vermont digging holes under power lines. We were doing artifact clearance. I use to smoke a pipe in the woods to keep the black flies away
I’m living in an 1885 house in a small town in northern PA. My house still has those white porcelain interior door knobs in use. I try to maintain as much original interior hardware as is practical. Take it home and use it! It’ll never break.
Thank You for the journey into the past. I am a new viewer and want to say I enjoy your commentary and insight into the historical puzzles you detect. Looking forward to the next time.
Perhaps you could do a follow up type video of your favorite finds all cleaned up and polished... That would definitely be cool.
I like this new format a lot, BUT I love your photography between digs. It has always been my belief that what nature produces has so much more intrinsic beauty. Please keep it all.
I cleaned up and painted a tenant farm house (place where the farm hand lived) in the early 70s. I found so much stuff in the layers of that place. One that I still have somewhere is a 1800s quarter. Not in particularly good condition by I like it. I also found a bread bag full of pot. Not antique, it was stuffed under the board floor section of the house that extended into the woodhouse (that had a dirt floor) off the kitchen (the last residents were "hippies"). The place was old enough to have been heated by wood or coal and lit by oil lamps. It may have been the original farm house to the property. The timbers in it were all hand hewn. The floor and wall boards were very wide and rough sawn.
On the nearby property my family lived was where the farms dump had been. We found so much intact blown glass, seamed and colored glass, pottery. I cant't ever remember it all. I found a 5 gallon stoneware crock that I sold to my folks and they put it back into service (I was born a bit of a profiteer. My Dad fully supported it, to a point). It didn't have a lid, which was probably why it was thrown out. I think the side of the rim was chipped but only on the outside. We fermented blackberry shrub in it. That I got to try for nothing. Life isn't fair like that.
Another upvote for the new camera! That conical bullet does indeed look modern. I used to hunt with a .54 muzzleloader in Southern Vt using those bullets. Heck, it may be one of mine,lol.
What a beautiful door knob!! Thanks for sharing Brad. Awesome adventure 🕊
Abandoned early settlements
really intrigue me.
From self sufficient farms, to woods.
Luv your presentation.
Thanks for sharing your detecting and love of history. I watch daily with my morning coffee. As always a beautiful production. Thanks
Yes! I like watching the process. As well as the nature shots you include. You have a marvelous channel. I've watched for a few years now.
Hello:
I’m one of those that is very susceptible to motion sickness from
a camera being swung around but your video did not make me feel
that way at all…
I really enjoy your videos and sharing your knowledge of old items
with us.
I’m a GPAA/Lost Dutchman lifetime member and have been metal
detecting since I was 10 yrs old while still hunting to this day…!
Good hunting.
Looks like a latch for a window. Old houses had those to hold windows shut. It had a lever attached to it. I could be wrong. Excellent video! Very calming
Brad, I think often about what you said and who touched it before me. Especially, the hands who built the walls I can still touch today. Loved this video and I enjoyed seeing the process.
Love your videos and your knowledge of the items you detect! Just interesting as anything historical! We moved into a house built in 1898-1899 and my folks renovated it in 1972 in Arkansas. Then we moved to Cripple Creek Colorado in the 70's too and renovated an older small home then. We should have metal detected everything back then!! I find all your discoveries so darn interesting! Keep it up please!
It is fun to see your finds, but I keep coming back for your lovely nature shots!
Watching the digs this late was great Brad. I Liked the camera too if it doesn't interfere with your searching time. Thank you. We have your snow out west this year.!
Good morning Brad. I enjoy your videos and await a new one each week so thank you very much for that !! I also enjoyed your additional camera views … please keep up the great work and have a super day.
Gary
Great video, Brad...
I also like the addition of a third camera...
Thanks much for bringing us along
I like this format much better than the former "hey look what I just found" format.
As a fellow detectorist, I am interested in seeing and hearing the coil swing on targets as well as the digging. I wouldn't mind if you mentioned the numbers from time to time either. Thanks, beautiful videos.
This is my first time, 3/28/23 but certainly not my only. Thanks for sharing. LOVED, SUBSCRIBED, & DING!!!
Love the new camera, whole new perspective! Thanks for the look into our past!
Love how much knowledge you have of what to others would be just junk! Always interesting!
Loved the way you vloged this vlog!!! Loved the finds!!! Thank you for sharing another Great adventure with us!!! God Bless!!!
John from Edmonton Alberta! Hi Brad! Adding the camera was a Great idea! Love your videos!👍
It really is worth digging all the sites, 2 of the best finds from an uncertain tone/spot.
One cent was as exciting find. Never would have suspected that given the description you provided of the place. The door knob reminded me of the ones we had in a house we rented when I was a child. There were a couple of the ornate glass ones in that house too. I really like the pretty "belt buckle" and would like to see that once it's all "shiny and new" again. Thanks for starting my Friday "Reading Day" off. Be safe, Be Healthy, Be you.
Always fun watching you find items from old to new and love the new camera seeing a different point of view, keep up with the good work brother
I just stumbled upon your channel and I love how passionate you are about your detecting and the surprises that you find.
Glad I had this as a suggested video.
Once we finish working on a major reno phase of our 1890's home, I plan on doing some detecting around here.
I have to admit watching the series The Detectorists gave me added motivation due just spending time in the outdoors. And seeing the same thing in this video....I might just be getting a new hobby soon.
Thanks for sharing.
The extra camera was great, Gave a new look into what you do and a feel that brings it closer to being with you. Thanks and yes I watch every post you make and have started going through the old stuff. Really cool. By the way, made a great choice on those chickens with the cost of eggs today😊
Love seeing all the different angles. Thanks for sharing
Always love seeing what you find,,also love your nature shots..fungi etc and your background music.You are so talented!
You could buy a lot for a penny back in the 1800's...
You are a mighty blessed young man.
I like the extra camera angle. Cool video too. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Beautiful country.
Love the trips to the woods I see so much with you like the tree growths & the finds. ❤
Your gentle sweet demeanor is nice to listen for.
Loved it all.. great video..wounderful shots of fungi..shrooms.. keep it up.. thank you..
