    Many years ago, a friend of my father found a 1.2 carat diamond wedding ring at the bottom of a pond that was a popular swimming hole in the 1930s and 40s. He posted a photo of the ring in a local news paper, with the words, "is this your ring". A couple days later he got a call from a woman in her 80s who said she lost that ring while swimming in that pond. He took the ring to her house, where she made him tea, then showed him a photo of her husband in his Army Uniform, and another photo of that very ring on her finger from the day he proposed to her. He was proud to re-unite her with that ring that must have meant so much to her. Every little thing we find has a story.

    My mother makes Stainglass windows using a tile grout. So she Uses old windows. Instead of leaving those pieces of glass and ornate pottery, why not keep them and grout a six pane window with them? Call it “a window into the past“ I collected Seaglass from all over Scotland and England for that very purpose. Beautiful

    when I first found your channel, a year or so ago, I binge watched. It was so refreshing to not have to listen to curse words and my granddaughter even started watching with me. Back then Eddie was on a lot more and we enjoyed both of you very much.
    As time marches on, you have matured and the quality of your videos are outstanding. The photography shots, what scenery you are allowed to show and your knowledge of area and items you find make you the number one metal detecting channel. Thanks for sharing all you do!

    Thanks Brad. I use to hike in the Blue Ridge and Massanutten Mountain ranges in northwestern Virginia.

So I say thanks for taking us all to the woods with you to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.

    Most of these things were someone's possession! Even when a button fell off a piece of clothing, it was probably made a long time prior. And thank you for cleaning out modern day trash. I never understand why people continue to discard trash after a lot of conservationist projects to protect our lands and oceans. Thanks again!

However, my dad has only spoken of his sister and his dad. Actually, I think his dad had a brother, but I don't know about his family. They were from Pittsburgh, PA. I have always loved my last name.

    Hey Brad,
    After watching lots of your digging adventures in those beautiful hills and having watched you cross a few streams I wondered why you never searched a stream to make a video.
    Well today I enjoyed watching this one.
    The way North East is an area I have not traveled while i was a long haul trucker.
    There is so much history up there and a lucky you touch some of it with your finds.
    I find it amazing what has been left by earlier peoples on the land.
    Thank you for making these great videos.

I didn't realize how little I knew of Vermont..he had worked at Mt Snow at a ski resort..had no clue there were mountains you can ski..More familiar with the Rocky mountains..he passed away 3 years ago.. always spoke how beautiful Vermont is..I miss him.. pretty sure he would also love your channel..got rid of any satellite or cable pay type services can afford it..only stream TH-cam mostly.. neither one of us realized what was available just through streaming TH-cam ..I know he would have loved your channel..I enjoy seeing how beautiful the area is he often spoke about..my grandson has one of those metal detectors.. have to bug him to take me to look for the things people have lost ..the story behind simple things means the most..have searched the river banks and have found china doll heads..kids play tea set..old bottles etc.. Never metal detecting..love how even a button is exciting!.. feel your passion for history
