I've got an 80 year old friend who didn't stop horse shoeing until he was 74. And, he did it all by hand without using the fancy new machines, never used a grinder/shaper, just used knives, files, scrapers and pliers. He's also retired Military having split 40 years between Regular Army, Reserves and Illinois National Guard. He retired with the rank of 1st Sargent and trained my nephew and dozens of others whom I have known. At 80, he's still as tough as all those nails you've been digging up.
Definitely be back next Friday. Always great to see your videos.
He sounds like a pretty incredible individual.
Wow, what a day! That's a great day of finds. Congrats.
We just found your videos and wow what a great video to start with. We definitely will be watching you from now on. Its nice to find someone who knows what he's talking about and loves sharing. You put out a awesome video, Thanks for sharing, Great job.👍👍👍👍
Those farriers are amazing
In this day and age of profane language being used everywhere, hearing you say "Holy smokes" brought a big smile to my face. Thank you for yet another uplifting, fun-to-watch video!
I really enjoy your metal detecting videos. I like the fact you don't swear, you smile a lot and you explain things. You also show plants and scenery.
Thank you
I concur
I was married to a very good farrier for 25 years. I still find it fascinating.
CONGRATULATIONS BRAD on your coin spill!!!
I love your videos. I’m a young 54 and used to love running around in the woods of lancaster Ohio and your videos are so natural. I can see and love how much you love the wilderness and trekking through the woods looking for history. I watch every week and just want to thank you for keeping such a rich history alive. 👍🏻
Sir love your comment. I learned from my small channel people don’t go out themselves for literally a hundred different reasons. I never ask but just from people volunteering I’ve learned that. But sometimes I’ve found they don’t because they just haven’t thought about it. $100 dollar detectors now are the equivalent of $1000 machines a few short years ago. That’s about all you need. Take care.
@@legacyXploremud larking is fun too ✌
@@sTraYa249 I have no doubt about that. I enjoy watching videos of it.
I had chills when you found those wonderful silver coins.
I think it was the perspective you gave, “ they were lost together and found together”
Just amazing. Wonderful video, congratulations.👍
Way to go Brad! That was an emotional find ,I could feel it,couldn’t have happened to nicer guy.🇨🇦👍
I often think about that also Brad. How we are using this advanced technology here in 2023 to find old coins and relics. To different times many years apart finally meet. What a feeling.
Some great finds. Silver coins where a heart stopper and the knee buckle all cleaned up was beautiful.
A day of quality not quantity Brad.
Those are the best days. You'll look back and remember this day always.
You'll never forget that one! I know I wouldn't. Especially considering that fact that in my area it's very unlikely to ever find a coin of that age. Heck I'm happy when I get into the the 1800s!!!
Congrats Brad!
Great hunt! Always nice seeing those old sivlers pop out of the ground. The knee buckle frame is special as well.
One of these days Brad you’ll find a hoard of silver coins buried long ago!
Like his big gold nugget!
Like the coin overlay images. Keep that up!
This was a day you will remember. The half-dime was the best find for me.
Thank you for letting us come along!
Quite the amazing silver spill- can't ever recall seeing that combination but it is indeed very special- Big time Congrats for those little beauties!
Great finds, but I have to say that your "B roll" photography is super amazing. I truly enjoy the pictures of the flora. Long time 82 year old visitor and I must say I enjoy the MDing, the music, the finds and especially your commentary. Keep up the great content.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THESE VIDEOS EVERY FRIDAY.
GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
Oh man I was stunned at the knee buckle, it just proves, treasures are everywhere, congratulations
I can never wait to watch your videos!!! My favorite part of Friday mornings!
Stunning finds brad,that little silver spill in the middle of what is basically nowhere was incredible ? And the guilt knee buckle is so nice too,I like the animal specific altered shoe as it's a glimpse into the mind of the blacksmith and care for that certain ox
Great finds! I always think of the effect on the owner of losing such valuable coinage. Beautiful photography as always?
I always think of the GREAT JOY in finding such valuable coinage...
I was looking for this exact discussion. Do you have an idea of what that coin spill would be similar to in todays money? In my mind I’m thinking a week or more of “wages” for the time. I’m try and figure out but would appreciate your input.
A penny or a cent used to be valuable. A dollar a days wage and good money.. I started work at 14. 40 hours per week and earned 10 pounds british. 25 pence per hour. Working union shop in a grocery store. @@legacyXplore
@@legacyXplorea Spanish Colonial 8 real coin (also known as a piece of 8 or Spanish Dollar) was the equivalent of a US Dollar at the time and was in fact legal US currency for a long time. A 1/2 real was = to 6.25 US cents.
A farm laborer in VT at this time (1830’s) might make @ $.60-.70 day + board, so this was like an hour or two’s wages by that calculation. (11.25 cents in silver)
According to online inflation calculators the US Dollar is worth @35 times what is was in 1834 (according to one online calculator), so these 11.25 cents are worth roughly $4 in today’s money by that measure.
I think the value in labor is more accurate for “impact”, so whoever lost it would probably feel the same way you or I would if we lost @$20-30 (farm labor was pretty cheap and usually included board)
A Very Good Hunt, Mr.Brad. The half dime is really nice !
Great hunt, I love the two small coins. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting that the iron Ox shoe was in such good condition, and the copper coins were so severely corroded. 🤔 congrats on the silver.
Some of my best finds have been in the middle of nowhere. Hunters used to go deep into the woods for game back then, while others may have been looking for a good spot to build a cabin. There may have even been a cabin near that area at one time. They can be very hard to find if there's no cellar hole to give it away. Happy hunting.
When I first saw that small piece you said was drawer pull hardware, my first thought was it looked like a peg to hold the end of a string in the body of a stringed instrument, like a guitar. As I watched you pick up those silver coins, I thought of the time and distance between when they were dropped, and you picking them up. You're the first person to touch them since they were dropped. It always gives me a feeling of instant connection to the past, the times, people, and whatever was going on at that moment when it was dropped. What a treat. Great video!
We’ll done, Brad! ❤LL
Having watched the finding of your first Spanish half real, a silver coin spill was a different kind of excitement, but equally thrilling. Congratulations! Don’t you wonder how you ever ended up watching bovine hoof trimming? It’s so relaxing and comforting knowing that an animal isn’t going to suffer anymore and will still be alive to enjoy another day. Great show, as always.😅😊
Brad, you just found two awesome silver coins. Most people watching don't realize how awesome they really are. I've been detecting for twelve years now and I have not dug an old silver coin . I have dug plenty of old silver coins, when I say old I'm talking about late (1890's up to 1964. I too would be shaking if I dug an old silver like the ones you just dug. I've gone to old Mexico metal detecting with friends where my friends have dug 1600's, and 1700's but the oldest silver I've dug in Mexico was a1906 silver fifty Centavos which was awesome but not nearly as awesome as your coins. I live in California and most of our old parts of town have been remodeled and paved over with concrets or ashpalt. Keep digging and I will keep watching and am super happy for you when you find those goose bump silver coins. Congrats and thank you for talking us along with you.
An ox is a castrated bull. Also called a steer. Nice finds, Brad. 👍👍👍
An oxen is any bovine used to work, usually heavy loads and can be a cow, bull or Steer (castrated bull).
That was fantastic to find those coins, great job!
10/10 editing on these latest videos, Brad - for some reason I was certain you were not going to notice the half dime despite the graphics 😂
You sound sincere , honest and energized in your passion for treasure-hunting ....which is exciting , so I subscribed. At 10 years old, my dad gave me his old Mustang metal locator .....I loved the thrill of the hunt in the 70's and 80's and found lots of awesome items just on my acre of land that we lived on in Livermore Ca. ( bus tokens, spurs, Chinese coin, meteor, old pennies and nickels, my dad's lost wedding ring !, .... so much fun !!! , gold jewelry with tiny diamonds ( so much more ). I am glad that I stumbled on your site as the Hoover boys and Dan Hurd are awesome. ..., so too are you.
Brad you deliver the whole package.
Today what got me thinking was your comment about the find that. Here we are finding these lost items with a machine they couldn't even imagine. Keep up the great work.
In Australia we called them bullocks, my grandmother used to go to town twice a year on one. I can drive that in one and a half hours! Her family grew vegetables for the local silver mine way out in the bush.
Great family history! Imagine how long it would have taken your grandmother to make that round trip!
Great job 👍🏻
@@impunitythebagpuss 3 full days!
Outstanding finds! Way to go, Brad! Congratulations! Thanks for the wonderful content!
Thank you Brad for an awesome adventure and seeing some amazing finds !
Always an adventure with you. Thank you!
You and Vermont never cease to amaze me. Great hunt!
Another great video, many thanks from the UK.
Wow great finds Brad, of all the things you found I've never seen an almost complete silver-plated knee buckle dug up. You have got a lot of American history there.
Another awesome video, feels like I’m out there with you. Great finds.
What a great day, Brad! Congrats on your silver finds!
That is some achievement to get any details from those coins. Interesting to learn about the Ox shoe. Those two silvers were wonderful!!! Well done, subbed.👍👍
Incredible! Thank you for sharing.
Now that was a wonderful day digging. Congrats Brad.
Totally awesome Brad😮
I always enjoy your videos. Great finds, music and editing, the best.
Brad, the smile on my face is almost as big as the smile on your face after viewing your finds for todays hunt. The half-dime has wonderful detail for a coin that has been in the ground for almost 200 years and the half reale is almost as spectacular. Surprisingly, my favorite find is the silver plated knee buckle if that was what it looked like after cleaning. Congrats on a fantastic day of detecting. Looking forward to your next visit to that site. Signals may have been sparse but the quality of the finds were outstanding.
Congratulations Brad! Those are some awesome finds.!!
Awesome stuff Brad... Ive been watching for several years now, and it only gets better. Thank you
