    I look forward to your videos. I am 79 yrs old, a Viet Nam Era Vet, a Hobby Genealogist and I live in West Virginia and love Nature. I am not able to walk in the woods anymore due to some health issues, and Vermont woods look very similar to West Virginia's woids, except for the elevation. Oh and your music in this video is really relaxing. ✌️🥰 🇺🇸

    I started detecting our local small town airfield. It was founded in 1937. I've found many old coins including a 1912 D wheat cent. Yesterday by the old wind sock I detected a great signal and about 8" deep found a 1922 peace dollar. 100 year old coin. You just never know..

      My best find in this field was yesterday when I dug up a Vintage Hubley Kiddie-Toy Diecast U.S. Army Fighter Plane. It's in amazing condition! I'm having it powder coated to new condition today.

    Very cool ring. That looks like it could be a snuff or "dip" container. Finding the 4 pieces of the watch is incredible. Glad the stem is still there. Good hunting.

      One of the brass circular items Brad did not identify appears to be an escutcheon plate for a doorknob, with holes for two screws or bolts.

    Great finds!
    My heart jumped when you found that signet ring ! The design looks so similar to a gold ring I have of my dad's when he was a child. It's a beautifully scripted monogram with his 3 initial on it, and it's quite small! So I guess little boys got signet rings too. I'm guessing a size 3. Born 1919.

    Thank for for sacrificing yourself to the blackflies for us! I would prefer you keep your net on because every time I see you out in that beautiful area, every one of my bites start itching ! The flies here in Newfoundland this year are ravenous! Wonderful treasures found for your bravery! Love that tiny ring!

    Hi Brad, congrats on finding the ring, they are always special because they are so personal.
    The pocket watch parts and the shell were a great find too, amazing that you found them so
    scattered apart and could put them back together after all this time of them being in the ground.
    It was cool to see the beautiful red Trillium showing it's face to the sun, don't smell it though lol.
    Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

    What a great variety of history Brad! Love that suspender clasp, those are awesome. I never realized those were sleigh bells, I've found a few of them that look exactly the same as yours and thought they were a desk bell top. Interesting! Thanks for another great hunt 👊 👍 ✌️

    Brad, I think the brass do-hickey is of several weights included with a set of the old brass scales utilized for weighing many items. Your weight appears to be from a somewhat larger set, probably used in a mercantile shop.

    Pocket watches had a removable “key” to wind them until the “keyless works” were invented around the mid 1800’s, then the same post that was used to set the time was used to wind the watch (one function required pulling the stem out a bit).
