I'm a 57-year-old, retired veteran with major health problems. Your videos make me feel like I am digging there right next to you and when you say, "No way!" I get so excited! I have eagerly awaited your Friday videos for many years now, and I still learn something new each time. Thank you for helping me forget my reality for an hour each week!
Your mystery item at 5:15 is an antique Singer treadle sewing machine drawer pull Brad. There would have been a ring attached to the brass end in those holes you see. I restore antique furniture, and I have some of these.
That is cool. Thank you. I've found one similar to the one Brad found but different design on it and the exact same shape. It didn't have the I guess handle piece in the center. Take Care Crazie Digging
“The land COULD be way older than the building” 😂 I knew what you meant when you said it so I’m not poking fun but that was a funny comment. Brad, your content, composition, edits and information are all top-notch… keep ‘em coming please!
I remember subscribing to your channel around the 2k subs mark ,and commenting then on how I couldn’t believe the number was in that range, with the quality and content of your channel. Noticed your creeping up on the 200k mark…. Congratulations,much deserved. Brad you do a great job with your channel. I enjoy every episode and never miss a one. Enjoyed once again from way down in southwest Tennessee. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re very good at it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome finds, of all the ones I’ve found over the years, the 2 cent and 3 cent pieces are my favorites, except for a 1915 $5 dollar gold piece I found 49 years ago!
The Shell token game was a lot of fun back then. I was a little and we had a Shell right around the corner from us. I used to jump in the dumpster and find tokens people threw away. You would collect them and use a game sheet to match them up for prizes. I was able to win a few prizes too. The best I got was $5.00. It was a lot to a little kid back then. And a 300 year old to coin to boot! What a day. Thanks for the videos Brad.
Oh, nice video! Beautiful weather for a day out detecting... That 1865 coin was interesting-- strange to think that it was minted in the year the American Civil War ended. But oh, that spoonbowl... You know, I can *distinctly* remember digging with one of my grandmama's spoons outside when I was 5 or so (think I was probably playing Making A Garden with my Barbies) and breaking it, and I promptly buried both the bowl and the handle because I'd get into less trouble for *losing* it than I would for *breaking* it. So I kind of cringed and momentarily was in total solidarity with some kid 250 years ago or whenever. You go, comrade! Your mom never DID find it, right? That 1723 coin was a killer. Wonder just how far back that road you found it beside dates? Thanks again for the video! These things are a part of my Saturdays (most Fridays I'm exhausted at the end of the day, I work for a hospital company) and are so satisfying and wonderful to watch!
I thought for sure your mystery item was also a doorbell until I saw someone else talk about a sewing machine drawer pull. So after doing some research it is in fact a drop ring style drawer pull for a treadle style sewing machine. It's just that the ring is missing from the non-ferrous end. I'm actually slightly embarrassed that I didn't recognize it considering all the hours I spent as a child playing around on my grandmother treadle sewing machine!
I'm turning 58 in a week. Whenever I hear someone mention "a hundred years ago" or "turn of the century", I still think of either 1800's or 1900. Thanks for showing your videos. I love seeing them, and being reminded about what year it actually is!
@@swampyankee72exactly I'm 64 redline hot wheels are worth big money. I had a matchbox case with about twenty in them. Unfortunately my son raided my case, and I only have about five left. 🙄🙄
Howdy brother,I really enjoy joining you on your search for historical relics and coins.Thank you, I've been learning a lot about your homelands past.✌️👍
Yo bro, that reins guide is military. I dug one in the mountains of NW N.C. a few years ago. Found out it was confederate army. After the fall of the confederacy the young men from both sides took tools, horse tack, and any other useful items home to use on their farms. Good find.
My grandmother just gave me her coin collection and she had a coin from my great grandmother it was a 2 cent . I have specific intrests in coins and the 2 cent made the list.
Brad I watch your videos every week. Your excitement knowledge and stories have taught me so much. I try to guess what it is before you show us. Please keep making videos and I love your music. Very talented.
I really like your videos. Congratulations on that George the 1st 1723. The first thing I thought of when I saw that mystery item was “joy stick for a Play Station” lol
I found a shoebuckle piece with the zigzag design on my first permission. It was a farm established in 1650. I always look forward to your videos, thanks, Brad.
I never knew you played,,, but I must say, I don't know wether to thank you, or cuss you out for burning that intro into my head. I write some,, great job, and GREAT vids!
The second find is a Rein Terret. Sits up high on a little buggy saddle. A light vehicle such as a buggy or gig has light harness, waggons have heavier stuff on heavier harness. Regards, Peter. Saddler, Australia. (Love your show)
I've got almost identical throwing star as yours (Ga). I've always leaned towards it being a doorbell button or pull. My small town is 1812 till present, historic civil war activities. Oxford, Ga.
Love all the “no way” and “wow” in your dialog in this one …that 1723 coin is super cool. Love your work, great job on the field, editing, music, it’s a joy to watch
I've been loving your videos for a long time. Not only are they entertaining, but I never fail to learn history from them. Thank you for the great lessons!
You are absolutely right about tree roots bringing things up. I have lived at my home for almost 40 years and we have a tree that brings bricks up from an old brick road.
99% of the time I dig antique bottles and about a month ago while digging, I found an 1865 2 cent coin identical to yours. Green patina and all. I never knew of their existence until then. So seeing yours was really cool. Have any idea how many were made? P. S. I dig Maine
My mother is just a turn of the century individual as she is going to be 101 on her next birthday, she is up and active, it is nice to see that things and people can live or survive a very long time and can thus be celebrated, good job and I enjoy your videos.
So I just emptied my house, going through everything we owned to downsize, and found about 20 of those Shell Oil coins in different colors mixed in my kids' old toy boxes. Absolutely no clue where they came from, no memory of having ever seen them before. 😂
The mystery thing was a old door knob for a wardrobe or drawer pull that had probably glass handles on each end. The square piece went thru the door. If you look close you'll see a set screw on the square piece out next to the knobs. You'd take one screw out and remove the knob and pull it out of the door. But only if you were removing or installing it to the door.
@@dat2ra just like today. If you got money you can buy anything. Being he found some nice coins I'd say they could afford the nicer things. I've got a old dresser at Dad's that have glass knobs. He's got a wardrobe with glass knobs
I definitely remember the Shell oil tokens, you got one in a little package every time you bought gas. If you got a certain one your reward was a full set struck in bronze. When I was a child a friend and I would search the dumpster behind the station and find a whole bunch some still in the packages. Other stations had similar tokens, classic cars, U.S. States, animals, etc. love your videos
So Fun. Congratulations on of of the unique things you have found, especially the really OLD half penny. You do make Fridays more interesting. Thank you
I always enjoy Friday mornings with GMMD! Thank you for your knowledge and good humor as well as your cinematography. The 301 year old coin was a great find!
Nice hunt! That 1723 KG is impressive- further proof that you simply never know what's going to come out the ground next! The 2-center was pretty awesome as well- Congrats!
Sprinkling this a.m. in southern vermont, perfect day to go detecting. Our home is on one of the first roads in town, pre 1800's. When they grate or do digging i always detect. Our property and the adjacent property used to be an old school established early 1800's. I have found the foundation area and have scored a few cool items. Buttons, spoons, cast iron dolls and a few silver coins. No coins older than 1900's yet 😔 Issue is so close to a 300 year old road, that there is so many tabs, tops and cans. ✌🏻💚🙏🏻 being in my 40s and disabled, your videos give me inspiration and drive to get exercise. Anyone in southern vermont area and you have wheels i would love to go out with someone that detects, i have only detected on my own. ✌🏻💚🙏🏻
I'd posit that the lock shackle is not rusted much because the lock body is made of zinc or high-zinc pewter. The iron won't rust until the zinc is gone. "Sacrificial anodes" of zinc are bolted to ships to protect the iron hulls. Another TH-camr you might enjoy is Desert Drifter who scouts ancient sites around Utah on Google Earth and then goes there with a drone and plenty of enthusiasm. I think you guys would hit it off.
I love your videos and have metal detected for years. I’ve had some pretty amazing finds myself but still find it difficult to approach owners for permission. I’m betting your personality has served you well. You are a natural in front of the camera, and I love your narrative.
Your find in the video at 6:00 or so, a Victorian Era teardrop drawer pull. My dad was in the Antique business and I saw plenty of them. I’ll see if I have a picture of one to share with you
The only problem with your videos is that they all end. I never get tired of them.
Yeah, make them not end! That would be awesome! You’re the best Brad!
Agreed

@@craziedigging4590 You are welcome.
I can't even imagine finding such an old coin!
Holy Cow! That 301yr old coin!! That’s amazing
Sweet KG1 Brad! Great condition

Coffee and Brad. What could be better to start your day.😊
I absolutely look forward to watching this every Friday morning 👍
It’s my Friday morning inspiration!!!
You are stuck in a time loop. This is your same comment from last week!
Coffee with Brad personally and longer than 20 min.. videos are not long enough ❤❤❤❤
Beer and Brad is better, but coffee is not bad either.
Oh my goodness!! Coin 301 years old??? Your prayers were answered finding great treasures! WOW!!
Amen!

Wow! 1723!!! I love when you find something that even unsettles you...what a joy your videos are for a lazy Friday morning!
I love hearing Brad say " no way" 😁
Would make me cry, 301 years old!!! Yes I would be overwhelmed

I love the shape of that reins guide. Most are just circles, but this one has character!
I absolutely DO remember the shell tokens!!👍🏻🇺🇸 I lived in a zone called gasoline alley and the gas stations were always having contests. Very cool!!
I love your finds Brad, they are great, Thankyou very much.

Congratulations on that KG1 1723!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I felt your happiness and your eyes almost tearing up make me super excited for you!! ❤

A three-hundred year old coin! Way to go, Brad 😎💪👏

Why would a drawer or wardrobe have glass knobs on the inside?
My guess is an Eastlake Victorian drawer escutcheon plate (one of two needed for each pull).
The iron end would have the latch.
