- On this adventure, I find myself traveling a mountain road, long abandoned, to metal detect the ruins of a large family home. The things they lost in the earth are some of my favorite things found.

Morning Brad, those pulleys belong in a Grandfather type clock. Sash weight pulleys would have a wider groove, they used a rope about the size of modern clothes line rope.
The cone shaped object looks like the end of a fireplace bellows
Thanks Heather, I hadn't considered that!
Brad, After seeing one of your last videos showing your music studio, your music has taken on new meaning. Keep on mixing & digging!
Thank you!!
Do you ever sell any cds?
I do! Www.GMMD.us
Your opening artistic segment was beautiful. I especially enjoyed the spider webbing with the sun shining on it. Then your shadow begins to fade it away as your enter the shot. (Yes, some of us do see the details!)
Thanks so much, Rett!
I agree, I love how in tune you are with your surroundings and how you bring us is by bringing up the smells, sounds and sights. Great job!
brad long time veiwer great vid . your music is great and we need more people who love the mountians as much as you.keep the vids coming .God Bless
Thanks so much, Douglas!
Your pulley parts look like an old drying rack that was above the cook stove in my family home. Thanks for the videos, always a pleasure. Cheers to you and yours, Billy in Canada
Could that pully have been inside of a window sill for the sash weight?
That's exactly what I thought. I live in a house built in 1900 and it has those
That’s exactly what it is I’ve found those before, also have restored hundreds of 1800’s windows and have came across these numerous amount of times. Great guess👍
You're right!!
@@GMMD No , dont think so , the groove for the rope is to narrow for the cord needed to hold the window up . those windows weigh a lot , i know because i have had to repair them when the rope rots through . In england they are called sash windows and the weights can be more than 4ib each , sash cord is about a quarter of an inch across . They look more like what someone has already suggested and that is a clothes drying rack that can be raised up out of the way indoors . you can still buy them today
Usually a sash weight is lead, right?
Arguably the most intriguing mix of finds from a single site that I've seen in a long time. Fantastic finds and editing! That 1799 counterfeit dollar is stellar. That is a really rare find!
Thanks so much, JD!
Brad, my Grandma's home had those crystal door knobs. The house was built in 1912, but folks in those days weren't shy about reusing materials from older homes...from lumber to doorknobs. I really enjoy your music, just wish more of the public were exposed to it for you to get the credit -and money - your talent so richly deserves. Another fine video that makes this old man happy. 😀
Thanks so much, Cecil!
As always great content shared and thanks for that. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.
the fact that they were forging money shows that even back then the desperation for money and to have things. great vid.GL&HH
Simply money is a very good way to attribute value to a particular object so you don't need to search somebody that has the thing you want and in the same time wants a particular thing from you.
Thanks Brad for sharing your good time.
Thank you Brad for another amazing hike/hunt. Thumbs up subscribers for THE best metal detecting channel - period. Enjoy your Winter Brad and family. Chuck in NE Kansas
I'm still watching. Incredible clay marble surface find. Remarkable how clean it was. I've only ever found one while metal detecting (was in the hole with a wheat penny)
What an Awesome day! You my friend are very lucky. So many great finds. The coin tops it off! How many people can say they have a 1700's counterfeit coin? Not many I bet.
TGIF, ”Brad’s in the house”
Hi Brad, really enjoying your videos. You present them so professionally and the stuff you find is really cool. I think in this video there were some things I recognise. The decorative case with crown might be a side of holder. It would cover the blades. The 3 pullies, might be from a Shells Maid. A drying rack for clothes that you pull up to the ceiling and fix into placr. Usually above the kitchen range. Thank you. Christina.
Great way to start a Friday.👍
Very detailed forgery. Neat clay marble and odd sterling silver jewelry. It seems like that they weren't that wealthy. Thanks Brad.
Couldn't sleep, then I saw your "TGIF" video! I'd love to know what the two pieces that fit together might be, silly but my first thought was a yoyo (no laughing)! Anyway a toy. I've never seen a clay marble, cool. Counterfeit, exciting. That was thrilling.. Of course I will watch this again today!
BTW you used your new tune you were working on in the Vlog, awesome!. Just loved it. Your like the rock star of metal detecting. Haha like I can sleep now... The day begins on a good note! Thank you!
memorylane-best made, most professional MD videos on you tube!!!
@@flthunderdigginwrob3162 agreed
@@memorylaine Oh I so agree. I watch alot of U-tube Video's put out by alot of different people. But its GMMD that I anxiously wait for.
That counterfeit coin must have a story to tell. Also that piece with the crown on it looks like the bottom of a sword or dagger scabbard. Love the videos and your music in them👍
Thanks Andrew!
Cool digs. Love your music ,you're very talented .Have a diggin great week Brad.😊😊👣
Love how you brought us with you when you explained the smell of the environment you were in. With the colors of the forest, your music ringing in and the subject matter, this was a really an awesome video!
We love your videos!! Thanks Brad. Ron and Sandy
Thank you Ron & Sandy!
Dang Brad. Too bad the dimes were not in the coin bank. With that patent date they would have been seated and barber coins!
Nice introduction music!!!! & as usual, awesome video & great finds!!!!! Great video brother!!👍
I think that pulley is for a clock that is used to pull up the weights to wind the clock. The coin forgery makes me wonder if the owner knew it was counterfeit? Love the silver pin & the coin counter. Very nice finds Brad.
Nice job Brad!!!!!!
Brad, so much fun going along with you on the hunts. My place is only 120 years old. The sash weight pullies are cast and rough one piece things. The finds look cleaner and balanced. The fake dollar and coin counter are cool. Wonder about a public worker who perhaps used it. Coachman, ferryman etc. Just rambling, thanks again.
Enjoyed watching every second. Very nice relics and the coin I think is better than a real one. Definitely more rare. That box reminds me more of a soap box for holding a bar of soap when traveling. Thanks for sharing, GL, HH and take care.
The coin thing is for rolling coins. There would have been an adjustment screw in the closed end. You put your coins in, say 50 pennies, tightened down the screw to compact them and then slide the paper roller sleeve down along the inside of the tube. The crushed end is missing the "cap", I'll call it. That piece both held the coins in place and provided a guide for the opening of the roller sleeve.
Enjoyed today mucho mucho !! Thank you !!
Wow awsome find Brad love the old coins !!!
Those pulleys could be from weighted sash windows.
That's my guess as well, especially if they were anywhere near that pile of glass
Possibly used on a hanging clock weight?
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw it...window sash pulley
seems to thin for window weight sash pulley to me.The weights use to have rope on them not strings. but this is just my opinion.
@@waterboy1002 - Yeah, that's what I thought as well. They looked too thin/small to handle lead weights..
You are my favorite go to channel on UA-cam. I love the music, the scenic shots, the history lessons, and your delivery. I always look forward to your videos.
Wow thanks so much, Pamela!
Exciting hunt. Thank you for taking us along.
Brilliant finds! I had a coin saver for shillings (England) in the 50's. Best wishes to your family from the U.K.
Hey great show Brad, I watched your studio vlog too. Many thanks and you have a great family. This Bass player needs a studio too!!!
☮&❤ from VT! Brad great job. Your shows are great!
I love watching your videos for not only the metal detecting and history but for the scenery that you film. It is foreign territory for me (I live in OK so not many forested areas near me). Keep it up and always include the scenery please!
I like finding out what you are using, hearing the sound, and then seeing what comes up. WE learn that way, even if we don't have that model.
Brad, thank you for your videos and all you do. We enjoy watching with our kids who also love your videos. They remind us every Friday that we have to “ watch Brad tonight!” Lol just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great work!
Awe that's awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!
Awesome adventure and fun too
Awesome hunt Brad thank you for sharing!
I just checked out your store Brad. Very well crafted leather work. I like the counterfeit coin, but the silver brooch was my favorite. I just love to find old jewelry. Thanks for another great video. see you next time.
I believe the pulley is a part of a window sash counter weight. The rope attached to the sash run through the pulley mortised into the frame, down to the long cast iron weight. My daughters and I love your videos. You have excellent, non-cheesey music and editing. Great stuff man, keep it up.
Hi Brad, I found the exact same piece of jewelry a couple weeks ago in gold, I thought it was two earrings as the solder joint had let go, but now I know what it is.....Thanks, great find!
Interesting, thanks!
Nice finds Brad!
You got the road thing right! Folks who lived up there in the 1800’s and earlier were TOUGH!
What you found was a dime bank. There was a little platform in the inside that was spring loaded and would compress as you added coins. You could see how full it was by looking at the little holes on the side. There was a little screw on one end and when it was full, you wound it out to open the bank. They were usually advertising give-aways that you would receive when you opened a bank account. I have a couple of these in my coin bank collection. Nice find!
Garrett at max.. Great machine. Lov mine. Garret is an outstanding company and I am very happy with them and their products.
Very good video Brad. Congratulations on all the discoveries. Good follow up information on questionable items. Thanks for sharing this experience.
GREAT music, Thank you
Pretty sure the crown adorned tube is a rare mid 19th century snuff snorter and the lidless box is an over sized snuff box. Achoo!
lol
St. Albans raid? I would imagine that site is now paved and built over.... Of course the Park is still there.... Would be interesting to see what the finds would be...
Great video with a lot of really unique finds!
As far as it seeming like a switch was flipped on September 1st.... I definitely feel that another switch was flipped November 1st, as I’m sitting here looking out my window at a foot of snow ❄️, and getting ready to enjoy the single digit temps again tonight 🥶. It makes watching this video filled with green all that much more enjoyable!
Great video keep them coming
Thanks., 👌😀
epic finds Brad.. the silver piece is really special...
Some very nice things found again
Always a great video!! You are the best!!
Love the music. And the history.
Love your intermittent nature shots! Cool video!
Great video love watching them not just for the metal detecting but for the history as well,the little pulley wheel thing looks just like the once we had in our house they were on a pulley for a clothes hanging what pulled up to the ceiling but you never know for sure good luck in all you do.
Radio dial knob pulley? inside of a radio use to have string to move the indicator when you tuned in a radio.
Great finds! The item at 15:00 looks like an end piece of an officer's sword divorce! Thanks for sharing, have a nice weekend!
Fascinating. Thank you.
Great video! Love the brooch you found! The mystery box is the half of a soap box I think.
Wonderful video...thanks.
20:30 pulley, maybe for windows? Pretty cool. Great videos.
Couple years ago purchased a pinpointer holster from you. Still one of my favorite pieces. It led to a journey in leather craft thats kept me busy for a couple years now. Appreciate it. Have a great weekend/week.
Brad Great hunt love those finds
Very nice vid😍
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
great content as usual . thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. take care Love finding marbles
Those pulleys look identical to the ones on a coil winding machine that I used at work for winding transformers. The machine I used was old but not that old. Probably around the 1930s or 1940s. I’ll have to look and see if I can find one. Nice interesting video.
Brad I am late with this comment but I believe the little pullies are probably from something other than window weights. I grew up in a four room house That was built in the early 1800' s and had no indoor plumbing. In 1969 when I was a teenager my parents became more prosperous and built a new house. We tore the old house down and used the lumber to build a shop. I remember retrieving the window weights, pulleys, and rope. The pulleys in that house were much larger but they could come in different sizes. they would have to make a lot of revolutions to open and lower Windows being that small. I had a friend that's father rebuilt all kinds of clocks including grandfather and grandmother clocks it is my guess that these pulleys were used for that. That is only a guess however I think the counterfeit silver dollar is better than owning an original and I find it interesting that so many counterfeits were passed to those poor farm people.
I'd take that silver broach to a jeweler and have a new attachment put on it and gift it to the wife..it's an awesome piece!
Wonderful finds, thanks for taking us along!
I believe the pulley is from a tall case clock for the weights. They were/are almost always brass as you mentioned it was. Also, window pulleys are more often than not iron.
Awesome video,as always, and a great hunt.
Wow the counterfeit is a great find, I have a counterfeit Capped Bust Half and a counterfeit Seated Quarter, my wife has a counterfeit Capped Bust Half as well, you just never know what you are going to dig up!
Brad - I have said this before but every one of your productions is a professional feast for the eyes, ears and senses! The time and quality that you put in to them are always top notch and it shows. A beautiful silver brooch! Your crown on the flowers is a drag to a sword scabbard if I am not mistaken and appears to be late 1700's. I may be wrong though. Take care and H.H.
Thanks so much Brian, glad to hear you enjoy them!!
Thank you Brad, For another great video !
Love your videos and the story they tell. Great music too.
Thanks Brian!
Thank You ! Your Music is so Amazing! Your Finds today so interesting! Always look Forward to your Videos!! I LOVE the Clay Marble and Pin ! The nature is Beautiful!!! Debra In California!
Thanks so much, Debra!
A quick test for sterling silver- hold it in your closed hand- sterling is very warm immediately, other other metals take longer to heat up.
great video! love the counterfeit coin. hell ya!
After watching your last video I find you are a man of many talents! A Phenomenal UA-camr, Musician, Father, Husband and Friend to All. NICE JOB!!! 👍 🇺🇸 😁
Thanks so much!
Stink bug smell is unique! Lol
It certainly is. Looks like it could be a sewing machine and the box for nicknacs, buttons, needles. That what I like to think. A family with children a mother would be repairing clothes all the time.
I was thinking the same. A mother with multiple children will always be mending clothes. The box would be perfect for buttons and such things.
I believe the small brass scabbord is for a letter opener.
Great vids! Keep up the good work. Do a lot of ghost town/old ranch detecting here in AZ.
Very nice seeing green scenery!
Sasquatch has that very distinct smell, too! You were being observed. LOL
great video! And great scenery
Awesome finds.
I just feel that Brad's work makes you want to explore the history of Colonial Vermont. Thank you.
Never disappointed. Great video
Nice hunt!!
Love watching your channel
Diggin' the new tunes Brad!
Rock'in in the woods with Brad...
I'd love to see the old 1800s maps of the areas you explore to compare to how it looks now. Comparing the way places used to look vs the way they look now is fascinating
Great job again Brad! Production is great as usual and the teachings you provide to your audience is fabulous. Onwards and Upwards my friend!!
Thank you, Brad
That was a very interesting day.
Those gears don't look clock like.
So much neat stuff, I hope you can re-visit that area sometime.
Cheers and a pleasant winter.
Rik Spector
Some cool finds! Sucks about the counterfeit dollar, but it's still a cool find from the middle of nowhere! I still would rather find a counterfeit coin, than nothing at all! Be safe...
I agree with you on the flip.of the switch for seasons. The last few years I feel as though we skip spring and fall completely!
A great day with some great finds. Cool stuff.
