  • On this adventure I metal detect old, isolated building ruins on the top of a New England mountain and, for the first time, find something amazing among the rocks of an old stone wall.

    My guess about the button is that they made a larger button smaller to fit a smaller button hole, and it was easier to do that by making it square rather than trying to keep it round.

      Agree with this theory rather than needing a square button.

      Maybe trousers or a heavy jacket? Gaming piece theory is pretty good too.

    I used to watch every metal detecting video on UA-cam. Now, though, you are the only one I watch. Your genuineness and historical commentary along with your excitement and improvements you've made keep me coming back. I do envy your location and its history. I live in a location in SoCal whose history only dates back primarily to the depression era. I'm too poor and too old to travel to locations like yours so I live vicariously through your videos. Thank you for that and please keep doing what you do. You are the best!

    Great finds Brad. I LOVE your show. It was one of the reasons I bought myself a metal detector. Then I got Covid and haven't been able to get out there yet. Stamina seems to be keeping me down now. I usually watch on the TV but today I get to watch on my laptop so I Can send you a post and thank you for your show. Some day it would be awesome to see ALL your finds/Collection or displays. Have a GREAT DAY and stay healthy.🤩

    Brad, you are the penultimate treasure hunter and You Tuber. From the beginning of your productions: 'I do this every Friday ...' . I feel that too many You Tuber's want to almost demand us viewers to 'like and subscribe'. You do not, and I appreciate that. BTW I am subscribed. Hopefully, you know how awesome your productions are, and "begging for clicks" is obviously below you. I totally appreciate that. When you added your shoulder cam it added more proof (as if we needed it) of the find and was as real as you can make it and you have mastered it - well done.
    BTW - thanks for your music that often rings in my heart and soul, and to be selfish, would also write more of that.

    I always enjoy your videos, Brad. When I saw the title of this one, I was intrigued as once I was hunting an early colonial site here in Canada. Well, under a large flat rock(over two feet at least), I found a pair of silver rings wedding bands, I assume. There are no hallmarks on them, unfortunately which makes me feel like they were made local. Along with those were rev war buttons and early french colonial tokens.You just never know when or where. They continue to be one of my favorite recoveries. A fantastic site for my area. I hope that you ome across one yourself soon. Keep up the great work.
