If you find a hearthstone; There was a dig in Ole Virginia that rolled a hearthstone and discovered two disassembled flintlock muskets, complete, still wrapped in cotton cloth. The stone had protected the parts unexpectedly well.
That happened to me a lot in the mountains in Colorado. That's why I had a 45-70 Marlin all the time in a scabbed on my backpack. I always had a whistle around my neck. The animals like bear and moose and mountain lions hear gunshots every hunting season. The never hear the piercing sound of a whistle. I never had to kill a preditor. I hiked over 400 miles in the mountains backpacking. You should have one.
Watched many of your videos Brad. Actually went out & bought a cheap Treasure Cove. So far, I’ve dug a civil war cannonball, 2 Dropped Gardner’s, 2 silver spoons, 2 Merc’s, an old silver ring, locket, a civil war era horseshoe, horse tack, lots of melted lead or fired musket balls, and ALL in my back yard of my house near Gettysburg, PA. Now, I’m ready to venture to venture out of my own yard! Great-high quality videos, man! Yours are the BEST!
It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos Brad. I woke up with a cup of coffee and watched your video. It’s an excellent way to start my Friday. The camera work and intelligent narration makes for an excellent video. Have a nice weekend sir. 👍
Coyotes . Never really had a problem with them, in spite of having them right in camp with me. My first brush was in Montana a pack of perhaps 15 middle of the night, when i got up and challenged them (I growled) the one in front of me gave a great big coyote howl and was immediately answered by the rest of the pack. There were one or two around every tent, each tent with one or two boy scouts. This past early May, camped along a river in Utah, middle of the night, again, must have been 10 to 20,, all around my tent,, the chorus was amazing,, eerie , beautiful, haunting,, and loud. The initial call was clarion clear and the answering chorus equally so,, just as the stars and the moon were so sharp and clear. Coyotes have always left me alone,, curious and sniffing about,, but I think fearful of a human,, Laughing,, especially a very large 'Sasquatch like' human that growls.
Daniel, have been watching Brad for over 2 years now, and for the life of me, the ONLY reason I can think of that anybody would give these beautifully made videos a thumb's down is because -They're jealous!
Oh, I agree. I wonder if most people take a minute to realize that on these videos where he treks thru the mountain alone, and you see him crossing a stream or river, he's had to stop and set up the big tri-pod and camera, get the angle right, start videoing, cross the log, take a few steps, and then backtrack and do it all again after gathering up his epuipment. Same for the shots he's swinging thru the brush. His talent for the camera work and editing is incredible. His nature shots have that teeny slo mo movement that I know my editing program doesn't have. He sacrifices a LOT of hunt time for the artistic beauty of his video. AND, I've already asked my g/f to get me his music CD for Christmas, lol. Rob
@@flthunderdigginwrob3162 I absolutely love his music too. I told my sister about what you just commented. For the shots of him crossing that moss covered log over the creek; he sets out up, walls it, goes back across to get the camera and walls it again. Same with the up the mountain hike shots. These jealous people don't get how good at this he is 💖 🎥
I know this is an old video but just a note that we call them sleigh bells. And they came on separate straps apart from the harness. Sleighs are incredibly quiet when being pulled on the snow and the bells would be used to notify others of your presence so you don't crash on a corner when you meet head on. They wouldn't be used in the summer because there is no need. The Conestoga bells were common for tin, essentials and meat peddlers and mail delivery people to let the homeowners know they were coming and were therefore more permanently screwed on the shafts. Mail men were often kind of the town crier and errand persons between the families so you would really want to make sure you were ready when they were coming.
Awesome video , Such beauty in those mountains of Vermont . Nice finds , military button looks superb 👍🏻 thank you for taking on your adventures , look forward to Friday’s 😉
Today I have learned that coyotes may reside in Vermont. I thought they were mainly more western in their habitat. If you pay attention. you learn something new every day. Thanks Mr. Martin.
What a beautiful place to live! Wonder how they were getting by up there-- hunting, a small veggie garden, maybe some chickens? Interesting. And so were the coyotes; I live in southeastern Arizona and they're everywhere here-- most nights I hear the locals doing their wake-up-and-greet-the-others yips and yaps before the sounds change to the time-to-hunt howls, which sound very different-- the pitches are higher and they sing together, very unlike the greeting noises. Generally it's a very rare thing for a human to be attacked-- or at least here it is; no idea about coyotes in the NE. Anyway, I'm glad you weren't hurt; they were probably curious, though, because that's a main motivation for coyotes: curiosity.
Man guys I will be so happy 1 spring gets here I'm from Georgia North Georgia mountains to be precise but I have fallen in love with Vermont thanks to you guys your friend "MIKE"
I was so happy to hear that you carry protection out there with you!! I've always wondered & hoped you did because you never know who or what you might walk up on!! Cool finds!! I love the bell!!
Being in the battle on North Point 9-1814 outside of Baltimore area and you are in Vermont which to me is really remote. These videos are awesome. It proves that the Revolution war era was all through out the eastern seaboard area. You are teaching me so much with the little things a like the British and other country's currency of the time. Keep it up. Not necessarily this dig but finding a turkey feather kind of fits with the whole colonial era. If you find a colonial ink well or you might already have one, you would know right were to put the feather.
Green mountains are outstanding. And you a wonderful artist and forester who has a love of nature. I am a westerner from the Rockies, They have been my play grounds. Been with you about 4 or 5 months. I'm trying to catch up as fast as I can. Wish I had been watching from the vert start of your videos. You need a face net and a light poncho and for your little boy sake pack that side-arm....... loaded fully. I am 87 been there only in the Rockies.
Hi Brad, I really love looking back at how people used to live in the past and it just makes you realise boy do we have life easy nowadays. Thank you so much, that was very kind of you to do that for the landowner. x
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!! You're correct, what a beautiful area of our country!🇺🇸 Just a thought...I think it would be really neat to meet some of these landowners whose family has been on the land that you're hunting and to see their faces when they get to see what you've found!!🙂
I was out hiking with my s/o and a firetruck went down a distant road, sirens blaring. A bunch of coyotes started howling all around us. They had us surrounded, and while I wasn't scared, I decided it would be wise to leave the area.
You have the highest level of production value and excellent content, you definitely deserve more subs. Each episode tells a story, the hunting is conducted with an ethic not only in treatment of the land, but also in respecting the landowners and the previous occupants. To top it all off, you do these hunts and upload these videos, sometimes leaving everything found with the landowners. What a channel!
On the crotal bell, the junk inside kind of looks like iron corrosion. If the ringer inside was iron it could corrode like that combining with the soil that filtered inside.
I walked right up to a bear and didn't know it till I heard its chopping mouth and that distinct warning noise..before I knew it climbed a tree then I knew..i turned away and walked slow out the way I came in..scary experience...
I’m surprised you aren’t disturbed more often by wildlife. We have coyotes everywhere here in NE Texas but we don’t usually see them in the daytime, only at night on our cameras. Beautiful button. I envy your hunting where you can find such well preserved, beautiful historic things, but love everything you find. I can’t let my husband watch you because the first thing he’ll do is go buy a metal detector.
That spoon handle looks cut. I wonder if tableware was ever cut up to pay people when coins were scarce, or when the silverware was part of loot that needed to be divided between several people.
Started watching the series Outlander and I thought of you... lol all the buckles and buttons you found were all in your face on the show.. makes you appreciate them more.
The iron leaching from the crotal bell could be the clapper. The fact that the landowner let you keep all your finds is great! I really enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Ever use Andre's pencils for cleaning crud off of relics and coins? Sometimes they do an amazing job. I always carry a pistol in the woods as well as I've had friends get treed by coyotes. Pretty scary. Being from NY State I really liked the NYS Militia button. Another great video. Thanks for bringing us along.
I am fairly new to the hobby ( couple years) here in Maine I use a Bounty Hunter Sharp Shooter and have had good luck with it as my first set up. I enjoy your channel and have learned a lot just from watching and listening to what you have to say about what you do and find, thank you for being professional in all that you do with and on the videos
Brad, I've never known of coyotes harming people. I would be more wary of a pack of dogs-domestic or feral. Of course, any animal can contract rabies. Thanks for another great video!
There's a YT video of a guy being harassed by a coyote. It came right up to him repeatedly running at him and wanting to nip at his feet. It was very bold and refused to leave.
Had packs of coyotes where I used to live. Saw some a few times but they never got close. Mountain lions, that’s another thing. Still only one close cougar encounter out walking with my dogs and we carefully avoided it. Thank goodness. Since I’ve moved into town, we’ve been attacked a couple times by stray or aggressive dogs just walking around the neighborhood, so I carry a walking stick when we go for a walk. Never felt I needed protection in over thirty years when living out on the ranch but I need something in town. Kind of crazy.
I enjoy watching all of your videos. The scenery is beautiful, regardless of the time of year. That said, I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer. A lot of these home sites that you search are way out in the wilderness, so the people were far from the conveniences of a local town or city. If one of the inhabitants were to die, say a wife or child, would they have been buried there on the homestead, or carted into town to a proper cemetery? And, have you ever come across a burial plot while metal detecting? Thanks for posting the videos!
Do you ever go back to search more of these areas for more signs of old homesteads? Since in the past you have found some that the owners didn't know they were there? Another amazing video Brad. Thanks for the trip into the Mountains and the realistic excitement of the true dangers of exploring the wilderness. Btw, I listen to these through ear buds. Lol the first couple of mosquito buzzes made me jump.
Nice finds! Couldn't believe you found an eighteen thirty eight penny. Wow! Love the jingle bell. On the pocket knife, looks like one of those bone handled ones, made foe many years, but became very popular from the nineteen thirties into the seventies. There is a detectorist on YT, don't recall who at the moment, but he cleans up and restores those knives to usable quality and beautifully. Will let you know who if I remember. Thanks for showing the wildlife. Enjoyed! : )
Another great video Brad 👍👍 keep up the great work and don't worry about the wild life, be aware and don't get between a mother and her little one's and you should be fine 👍👍
I have NO idea how you can keep making your nature scenes better and better, but you do!!! The coyotes were very cool to see. So happy you found your military button for the property owner, and the great Largee AND the crodel bell!!! Great video. Rob Flthunder / Diggin' Florida w/ Rob!
From Australia great videos love to sit back and watch but I would be very interested with after when you sit down with the land owner and go through your finds for them
Brad, always a great video. The foliage is stunning. I too was once digging a hole in a field. I looked up and there was a coyote about 75 feet away from me. He stood there for sometime, I didn't mind. Then I looked again and there were three. I assumed they were sizing me up so I cut my day short and did what the Shepard did and got the flock out of there...LOL
Hi Brad, we are in our winter here in Oz its been bitterly cold here sleet with snow close by and I see you have a new video and to see the warm sun and beautiful lush green trees and ferns just fantastic!! Then you start with your intro, I just love your videos and man you always come up with some great fines! Well done! I wish it was Friday twice a week lol watch out for the critters... Thank you for all you put into your videos and bringing us all along they are fantastic!! Cheers from Australia
You had some nice finds ! Sure glad that you was able to help the landowner figure out about how old the site was ! Thank you for taking me along on the adventure !
If bigfoot is going to follow you, he's going to herd you to the edge of the woods with his buddies. And Vermont is loaded with them. I had my two encounters just across the border in NH.
@@arlenelamont5610 Frightening, and the first time it was getting progressively more anxiety-ridden and hyperventilating at us. Right outside our house at the edge of the woods. Our house sat on the last piece of private property for miles in any direction (surrounded by three different nature preserves: Rhododendron state park, Fitzwilliam town forest, Morgan preserve).
If you're in the vt/nh area, we're starting up a little bigfoot hunting group. We're going to go see if we can find any evidence of them. They should be headed south again by the beginning of December and they come back by the 2nd week of April if my suspicions are right.
All I can say is Wow! The Croatal bell is still on my bucket list. The weird thing is, I found the exact large cent of the exact same date at a park in Va. Beach. Great find on the New York button as well. I enjoyed as always. see you next time.
If you find a hearthstone; There was a dig in Ole Virginia that rolled a hearthstone and discovered two disassembled flintlock muskets, complete, still wrapped in cotton cloth. The stone had protected the parts unexpectedly well.

Really enjoy the music, video quality, scenery, history and finds. Thanks
So glad to hear that, Kathy!
Always seeing Turkeys that weren't there, is what led me to Seek Recovery.
Love the background stories that lead you on these adventures, you always have top-notch content Brad! Cheers, see you next Friday 😁👍

To have 463 thumbs up with no thumbs down in a world full of trolls shows your content is absolutely entertaining for all! 👍👍👍👍
Daniel, have been watching Brad for over 2 years now, and for the life of me, the ONLY reason I can think of that anybody would give these beautifully made videos a thumb's down is because -They're jealous!
As of 8:30pm eastern, there are 1.5k up and 7 thumbs down. What’s there to dislike about Brads videos?
Too short?
@@flthunderdigginwrob3162 That's all I can chalk it up to also 👍
Pure jealousy and it's ridiculous.

Possibly manganese and tannic acid from old plant growth. Wet conditions make it stick and stain. Great hunt, digging up history.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!! You're correct, what a beautiful area of our country!🇺🇸 Just a thought...I think it would be really neat to meet some of these landowners whose family has been on the land that you're hunting and to see their faces when they get to see what you've found!!🙂

Just another Awsome video..look forward to Friday's to see what mysterys you dig up !
On the crotal bell, the junk inside kind of looks like iron corrosion. If the ringer inside was iron it could corrode like that combining with the soil that filtered inside.
The movable part inside of a bell is called a clapper, not ringer.
W Fermier - if it is suspended inside the bell definitely... loose inside a crossly bell I’m not sure about that! 😉
Your camera work and results are SO improving...nice....😊
Incredible Finds! Great show!
Watch yourself, out there...!
We don't want to miss your adventures...!
What a beautiful place. I would love to be there. Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for coming along, Coni!
I walked right up to a bear and didn't know it till I heard its chopping mouth and that distinct warning noise..before I knew it climbed a tree then I knew..i turned away and walked slow out the way I came in..scary experience...
I like the stories as much as the finds !
nice finds Brad hope the property owner gets some good info about some of the history. Thanks for sharing

Nice Video!!!!
Great hunt! The rusty iron inside is the ringer
Very good my friend and be careful ************************************
I love your choice of music. Very thought provoking
That spoon handle looks cut. I wonder if tableware was ever cut up to pay people when coins were scarce, or when the silverware was part of loot that needed to be divided between several people.
good finds! Happy Diggin!! Have a great weekend!!👍👍😃😃
Lovely scenery, good finds, and history and wildlife. Awesome.

Wow - kinda cool to see the coyotes - at a safe distance! Nice finds for the landowner.
Awesome finds
Awesome!!!! Fun video and nice finds!!! Always educational!!! Thank you for taking us along!!!!

Stellar digs again Brad. Always enjoy your videos and the adventures you take us on. Thanks for sharing and Hh.
Nice finds Brad and the button real cool also the Silver spoon piece PAC animals checking you out if there's two there's others! , Thanks Brad!!!; )
Another great video Brad.
Nice finds! Couldn't believe you found an eighteen thirty eight penny. Wow! Love the jingle bell. On the pocket knife, looks like one of those bone handled ones, made foe many years, but became very popular from the nineteen thirties into the seventies. There is a detectorist on YT, don't recall who at the moment, but he cleans up and restores those knives to usable quality and beautifully. Will let you know who if I remember. Thanks for showing the wildlife. Enjoyed! : )
Well done enjoyed it
Great Hunt Brad
The coyotes probably have a den in the area. I was followed like that once by a very persistent pair, who followed me until I left their territory.
the vids been really Great lately...Awesome Job!
Thanks a lot!
Wow that button is georgous 👍
Another great video Brad 👍👍 keep up the great work and don't worry about the wild life, be aware and don't get between a mother and her little one's and you should be fine 👍👍
I heard a hammer cocking in the background when animal was around..
Lol. He carries. He's not dumb
Another great adventure. I look forward to video all week. That is a beautiful excelsior button. HH
Fun trip with that awesome Excelcior button
Never saw one that nice!!
finding real cool relics, being in the wilds of vermont, seeing all the wildlife, alot of people would like to be you... thanks brad
Wow, a forest of evergreens, The wood cutters must have missed that area. Great video Brad.
Beautiful photography. I shared this channel with my brother, because he's into metal detecting, but I ended up enjoying the videos myself.
You helped the landowner to uncover the past.. That's what all the bugs and animals and weather are all about.
Good Job!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
BIGFOOT!!
I have NO idea how you can keep making your nature scenes better and better, but you do!!! The coyotes were very cool to see. So happy you found your military button for the property owner, and the great Largee AND the crodel bell!!!
Great video.

I always look forward to Friday morning. My doggy, my hot chocolate and a new video from Brad.
The part of the silver spoon was cut and used as currency.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Good observation
I thought the same perfect size!
Yep....me too.
That's an interesting observation. Hadn't thought of that.
I thought the exact same thing.
That's a roger on the Ver-Mud. That stuff is like
tar. It's like advanced mud. Another home run, Thanks Brad.
We really enjoy your adventures. I lived in the Ozarks of Missouri and our area is not prime metal detecting country.
Enjoyed the trip. Thanks for taking us along.
From Australia great videos love to sit back and watch but I would be very interested with after when you sit down with the land owner and go through your finds for them

Awesome video as always. Stinking Deer flies. With my head phones on I found myself swatting at them.
So pleased you found that button and what a beaut it is! Just goes to show that a site is never hunted out! Nice work Brad, thanks for the video.
Hi Brad, we are in our winter here in Oz its been bitterly cold here sleet with snow close by and I see you have a new video and to see the warm sun and beautiful lush green trees and ferns just fantastic!! Then you start with your intro, I just love your videos and man you always come up with some great fines! Well done! I wish it was Friday twice a week lol watch out for the critters... Thank you for all you put into your videos and bringing us all along they are fantastic!!

Really nice finds, Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy your video's that you put out. Cheers from Canada!
you speak so well & clear I don't need closed captioning, but thanks for doing cc
It makes you think about how many animals it cleaned. I love your narrating skills . As always just another great video. Jonathan from Arkansas
great hunt today. even a little wild life watching to boot. that was a real nice n.y. militia button. h. h. brad.
You had some nice finds ! Sure glad that you was able to help the landowner figure out about how old the site was ! Thank you for taking me along on the adventure !
Hope that wasn't Bigfoot shadowing you, lol. Great finds for the area to have already been detected.
If bigfoot is going to follow you, he's going to herd you to the edge of the woods with his buddies. And Vermont is loaded with them. I had my two encounters just across the border in NH.
@@GunsNBudder I'm fascinated with Bigfoot. But I'm sure I do NOT want an encounter with one. What was yours like?
@@arlenelamont5610 Frightening, and the first time it was getting progressively more anxiety-ridden and hyperventilating at us. Right outside our house at the edge of the woods. Our house sat on the last piece of private property for miles in any direction (surrounded by three different nature preserves: Rhododendron state park, Fitzwilliam town forest, Morgan preserve).
If you're in the vt/nh area, we're starting up a little bigfoot hunting group. We're going to go see if we can find any evidence of them. They should be headed south again by the beginning of December and they come back by the 2nd week of April if my suspicions are right.
@@GunsNBudder So glad I have not had an encounter. Don't think I'd know what to do, run, shoot or die of freight. Be careful and i hope you're safe.
In the two crotal bells I've been lucky enough to find, the ringer looks to be made of iron. Great video as always!
All I can say is Wow! The Croatal bell is still on my bucket list. The weird thing is, I found the exact large cent of the exact same date at a park in Va. Beach. Great find on the New York button as well. I enjoyed as always. see you next time.
Again a great adventure shared. Thanks for that and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
