You are one of, if not the most, well spoken, treasure hunters on youtube. Thank you for not being falsely and overly animated and patronizing. You do a great job editing and "cutting to the chase". Thanks!
The brass disk you called a "mystery item" is maybe a reflector that goes on a candle holder so that the light from the candle was more concentrated in the direction you wanted to point it so to speak. I have seen wooden candle holders with grips similar to a coffee mug that had those brass disks affixed to them.
Love the lush green Bush and the black rich soil looks a treat to dig. Very cool finds, I like the pieces that leave you to wonder what it was used for. Thanks for taking us along.
So much history there in your state. Really old history. I would love that. I hope you are documenting everything you find even maping out the sites a little. These sites may someday be archaeological sites. Your finds will help future explorers understand it and be able to put together the whole story. I am not critiquing you by any measure. I just understand the challenge archaeologists have after sites have been rumaged through. It really would set you apart from a lot of people that metal detect. In future explorations scientist will be able to depend on your information. In the future, when you're a really old man, it will make you a very valiable asset for them. Who knows they might be interested in some of these stories now. Great show. Thanks for taking us with you. It is very special.
First timer. Your video is nicely done, and I will be a repeat viewer for sure. Great finds! The piece of ladies' underwear is from a garter belt, and is half the mechanism that attached and held the stockings.
NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE WHERE THE STONE WALLS OF NEW ENGLAND CAME FROM, MANY NATIVE AMERICANS SAY THEY WERE THERE WHEN THEY ARRIVED, THERE ARE STONE CHAMBER WITH HUGE SLAB ROOFS AS WELL.
I really liked this video...veey interesting....its fun to go hunting in the wood for stuff...be safe out there...i hope you make more videos....take care from NC!!
great vid one of my favorite places to hunt is in the back woods of vt. the great thing about vt is we have frost heaves so the ground acts like a washing machine . you hunt one spot hard one year an come back the next spring and there is new stuff brought closer to the surface over the winter because of the frost heaves.
Hey Brad, excellent hunt! The Centennial Expo in Philly generated a ton of souvenir merchandise-commemorative coins, wood plaques, silk ribbons, belt buckles, and even jigsaw puzzles-but I have never seen a rectangular brass plaque like yours. Hard to imagine the residents of that farmhouse hauling some huge expensive painting home from Philly, so am thinking it was a souvenir. Maybe it once had a wood backing that rotted away? Excellent find in any case. The Centennial Art Gallery is still standing, and is now home to the Please Touch Museum, an interactive museum and play space for kids. I used to take my daughter when she was little. As always, thanks for taking us up the mountain!
Thanks so much, Charlie! I had a really hard time finding good information on the art gallery, very interesting to hear about all of the souvenirs! Thanks again!
Brad, believe me, I know how you feel a out the coinage, but you are a pioneer in the woods yourself. You are finding things that haven't been seen in generations. That French artillary button...Wow! Be careful out there, and HH.
@@GMMD The "flaming" device on that button is, in various ways ,a common device in ancient heraldry. One version is the device for Grenadier Guards . Three of them are the coat-of-arms of the Flemish family "van Bom".
Great Hunt Brad ! You may have not found anything with a date, But the flavor of the time period is definitely there. You hit the nail on the head. There was less forest, 150 years ago, than there is today ! Back then, wood was a resource used for everything, warmth, cooking, income, charcoal. fields were clear-cut for farming, rocks were cleared and stacked into piles and stone walls which boarded farm fields and roads. Thank you for sharing my friend :-))
Always awesome videos. New england rocks. Another incredible button. Poor French guy probably took a hard beating from a big Irish farmer. Limped away missing buttons and a tooth.
Interesting video with great presentation. I think the round object is / was a mirror as i have found a similar item with some flakes of (?) still on it. Good work. From Ivan In New Zealand.
I walk in the woods as well-and many times you will find a stone slab with and old lilac bush aside it-that was once someone's dooryard. Amazing to realize how people lived in remote places-must have been a lonely life. Vermont started losing population as soon as Ohio and Indiana opened up (the Western reserve), in the 1820s.
French artillery? What an incredible find. That art gallery sheet metal piece is beautiful. I would love to hear what that was attached to and the stories that could tell.
Another awesome hunt and video. How on earth does chose a good metal detector? Garrett, Makro, Whites, etc. and the each of the makes have multiple models. Of each maker claims their’s is the best. I had a Whites back in the early 1970s, nothing as fancy as these modern ones. I would like to try detecting again, but don’t want to waste my money on the wrong make/model.
Thanks Ian! Diggers fall into cliques when it comes to their machines and get very tribal. Most any brand/model around the $300-500 range will get you a great machine, the higher the price the more features you’ll get like salt water capabilities and waterproofness!
Green Mountain Metal Detecting Thank you, that helps. I live farm country and people here get the same way about farm equipment and trucks. Thanks again! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Brad, you have the best and most beautiful places to explore and hunt. There is no way I can go out in areas like that where I live which is SW Pennsylvania, I'm not brave enough going alone. Awesome finds Happy Hunting and Good Luck on the next one. Marty aka Michele ; )
WOW super cool finds. Great job with the whites. Hey, I just dug one of those 2 circle different direction things. Any idea what it is? Sweet bells and buttons too. Great video.
Hi. New fan of your videos. I believe the round brass piece at 11:11 might have been a smoke guard for an oil lamp. It would have been attached with a metal ring above the glass chimney to prevent soot from staining the ceiling.
very cool!! I know there was a lot neat stuff, but I really like that old insulator. I know there is a lot of bills out there, but they are just getting hard to come by, especially as a find in the woods. Sidestep recommended your Channel, and I'm glad he did. Very enjoyable, thank you!!
EARTH ANGEL😇. DO you use a compass to find your way home 🏡 ?? Common insulator; I am fortunate enough to have a beautiful carnival 🎡 glass one. Fancy clip is off ladies lingerie item. Clip at the end would attach to the top of her nylon. Did you find any maker on piece of coin spoon? Have you ever used a toothbrush on any item? Sometimes they are helpful! 👍
Thanks Judine! I do carry a toothbrush but typically clean items off camera. I use the compass built into my phone, but have a spare just in case! Thanks for watching!
Love the clarity and footage of your videos. They are very educational, and help me identify some of the items I find. I look forward to your next video.
Oh boy! A new channel for me! I think the types of things you found there are not from a homespun material type of family. Or, they brought things with them from a former life. The piece from the corsette, the elegant overall buckle, etc. seem to mean a type of clothing from a city.
Just like the old rice fields in SC. They're all grown up with huge cypress and oaks and everything else now. 175 years ago they were carefully cultivated fields with tidal water flow capabilities to flood and drain the fields.
Your presentations are so well done that I am reminded of how glad I was to stop TV reception. So many videos and stories made by amateurs are such wonderful quality. Reality TV is nothing like online video programs about wonderful topics by totally creative independent people like you. Thank you!
Great Videos! I went to a bicycle school in White river Junction, only there for a little while but got to love the history of the area. Not much older than the 1870s around SD.
Oh, what is this? Hey, looks like a metal boogie trap...nice! Pretty cool. Oh wow, it just shot a metal spear in my chest. Nice! Hey, the metal in it measures about a 10. Awesome. Lots of blood pouring out my chest. Oh, I'm falling. Oh, another boogie trap. Cool. I got a couple of them at home. Hey my head is rolling in the creek. Wow, that's awesome. Oh here comes Big Foot picking up my body parts. Nice! Okay, I'll check you guys out later. Pretty cool. He's picking up my head now. Pretty cool. Nice!
First time stopping by. Nice job on getting the MX Sport out there, I'd be interested to see how it performs compared to what you were using out in the woods as time goes on. Subbed!:)
I think you're right about the 1876 plaque but I don't think it went on the back of the frame. Photography came into its own during the civil war and by 1876, was becoming much better known country wide. I submit that little plaque was attached to a souvenir photograph of whomever went to the exhibition.
Nothing that old made by white people here in Montana. A friend of mine found a Crow Indian buried in a cave near Miles City. No guess how old but most likely pre-Custer. I find lots of arrow heads and bison skulls and the occasional iron broadhead. The iron ones can be dated to the 1820s-40s when the Hudson’s Bay company sold them to the Indians.
Here could be a first metal detecting true story..It involves me and one other. I am a Brit..and live in an eastern block country..an ex-Soviet controlled country. This is not about the Russians though. It is about metal detecting and ancient the ancient history of that country..I do mean ancient history. I live in a small village that looks like it belongs back in the Soviet era. Anyway, to the story..Oh, I am a detectorist...and research the countries past looking for signs of the past. Not the Soviet past but back to the countries beginnings..and that's a long, long time ago. So, I was in town today to do some shopping at a local story...when I bumped into our local priest..also a friend of mine. His name is Angel..yeh..no joke. His parents had a sense of humour...As we stopped and shook hands we got to chatting about family..During the chat I invited Angel, for coffee at a local eatery..As we sat outside in the heat of the day..hot, hot, hot...the conversation got round to the history of the country I now call home. I told him I was a metal detectorist. Angel showed interest in this. I told him I do research looking for ancient sites. He showed even more interest...Then he surprised me, he told me of a site local to where I live and that it was well hidden..I inquired more...He said he had been there and had found lots of small bits of human bones..Now I was the one showing interest...Well I know that people here in the villages do not go for walks to the local lake, forestry or hills and mountains. It is just something they do not do. Nor do shepherds take their sheep up into the hills. Fishing for food in the lake it about it..not for sport..for food. Back to the story...Angel, then surprised my by offering to show me the site...He told me that an ancient temple had once stood on the site..and it had once been occupied by ancient peoples of the time. Then he dropped the big one...I will take you there he said and help you to search the area...Bang....The site has been known by his church for a long, long time...Historical evidence etc...Then I started laughing at the image in my mind. Indiana Jack and the Tomb Raiding priest...I told him why I was laughing and he joined in....Another side to this story is..I went to a museum in the city..I know the curator well enough. I said to him, what do I do if I find anything of historical significance..even gold artefacts...Take them home he said...keep them. Don;t bring them to me...I would then have to involve the authorities. Everything would then got complicated. An investigation would take place....and it could take months. I would be wrapped up in red tape..Also there are no treasure trove laws here..The finds would be taken from me with no compensation etc. Just keep them....End Of Story....Last...Using Google Earth Pro..I myself have discovered a site not far from me...I walked the site only the other day....with the intention of detecting it...I took a photo from Google Earth..I showed it to my friend the priest..I asked, what do you think of this...Wow, he said...That's a fort...There are no stones there now, but the site was marked out by trees...You can clearly make out the boundaries. On the ground it just looks like a jumble of trees. The End.
VERY cool video(s)....the key to life, imo, is too enjoy the journey, not so much the destination....thank you for reminding me and letting me spend some 'nature time' with you....
There always going to be negative people out there in the metal detecting hobby or any other hobby like coin collecting. However there are enough of us who appreciate GMMD videos and the effort it takes to produce a highly professional video. I don’t appreciate negativity or dislikes on this site. Don’t watch the site if you have to be negative and unprofessional.
Brad, When i saw you arr the guitarist on your vids, i have to ask who is your drummer??? I suspect it is also you!!! You quiet types always need a hard rockin outlet!!!
In my reviving gardens in old Irish cottages in remote rural places my most interesting finds have been the spout of a teapot, which would have been a major disaster to a poor family with the Irish addiction to tae,.. and a complete set of false teeth... Not dug yet where I am and would dearly love a metal detector,
4:01 have you thought about taking GPS coordinates for area. Shoot compass for road direction, get on google earth and compare old growth trees as compared to trees the size of what you saw in area to possibly find out where the road bed leads ? Not always easy but fun to do if you have time.
Great video! I hunt with the White's MXT Pro and Garrett AT Gold. It was interesting to watch you try the MX Sport. Looks like you got the hang of it fairly quickly.
@@GMMD cool. I have always wanted to visit Vermont. Looks like a nice place to be. Have you ever been to the evergreen state of Washington. Lots of things to do outside here. Thank you for chatting. Take care and good luck to you. God bless
I knew a man who walked an old country road. He checked around the largest oldest tree and had a hit. He dug up a little bag of gold jewelry about a hundred years old.
Great video ! Vids like yours help me get through our long New England winters ! I own a Whites, and love it. Can't wait for the ground to thaw. !. My Great Granddad was born in Vermont. He was a Gagnon. I don't know off hand where he was born, but he was born during the civil war. circa 1863. Maybe in those very woods...heheh ! Thanks. Peace !
You are one of, if not the most, well spoken, treasure hunters on youtube. Thank you for not being falsely and overly animated and patronizing. You do a great job editing and "cutting to the chase". Thanks!
Thanks so much for the kind words!!
@ 1:02 I have faith in you... you'll find lots of great history, and cool stuff.

Thanks for the tip, Jeff!
Love the lush green Bush and the black rich soil looks a treat to dig. Very cool finds, I like the pieces that leave you to wonder what it was used for. Thanks for taking us along.
Not a canonball, it's a grenade on the top of the button. It's a common french military symbol. Great video by the way, keep on searching ;-)
The grenade is called a Petard!
Its not, its US first take of the US army ordnance symbol
I'm really happy White's recognized you and someone over there is a fan of your. You make some excellent and fun videos! Keep it up!
Thanks a ton!!
Have any companies ever sent you any insect repellent to try out? It would be an awesome testimonial if they worked like their supposed to.
Thanks Larry, none yet, that would be awesome!
Just casually mention it in one of your videos how much the one you're using SUCKS!
I think the bell is from a table leg base.
Crossed cannons and a grenade.
I wonder why that French artillery button was all the way out there
And I subbed
just got to love Your way of doing this and thanks for sharing. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
Why is there 140 dislikes on his feedback. How could you not like this guy. Very interesting & informative videos.
Maybe their just jealous .
They Are TROLLS!!
ya but they still watched :)
Maybe it's the music/ noise
I don't dislike him, I just can't hear most of what he's saying. My volume is set at full blast so it's not my computer.
I am a supporter of you personally because of your passion for what you do and the respect you have for nature and history. Thanks

the potential brass "key ring" looks to be a ring from the over check on a horse harness :)
Alot of peoples are going missing without a trace I'd be careful
I really liked this video...veey interesting....its fun to go hunting in the wood for stuff...be safe out there...i hope you make more videos....take care from NC!!
As always brad a pleasure to watch! Great finds. Can't wait to see what you think of new machine.
Thanks for taking us along

Coins or not those are great finds. I love old home sites. And it's amazing how fast the forest retakes the land.
Great Hunt Brad ! You may have not found anything with a date, But the flavor of the time period is definitely there. You hit the nail on the head. There was less forest, 150 years ago, than there is today !

I've seen some photos of the late 1800's in this year and it's truly mind boggling!
I'm not sure the exact period, maybe late 1700's, early 1800's Vermont was actually around 90% clear cut...
@@northern1632 Realize how Much chopping your talking about. I've heard just as crazy stories about Paul Bunion.
You may have found the part of the Military Road ...We have a section of it running down here in North Adams. .it dates from the mid 1700s
That was a great spot, not many cellar holes around here. Thanks for sharing, great finds!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful woods, you'll have to return for another hunt. Love Vermont..wish I was young & could do it too. Thanks for taking us along.
I wish you wouldn't go do this stuff all bye your self you should always have a buddy go with you makes me nervous sorry.🤔😳😏
I believe he always has his gun on him but I am not 💯 on that.
I've heard when he was w/ Eddie or Mike he always carries a gun.
Yup, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson are good friends to have!
I love the centennial art gallery piece. Beautiful!
Always awesome videos. New england rocks. Another incredible button. Poor French guy probably took a hard beating from a big Irish farmer. Limped away missing buttons and a tooth.
Haha thanks, Robert! That's definitely a theory!
Robert Gillis
And his whiskey flask too lol
Interesting video with great presentation. I think the round object is / was a mirror as i have found a similar item with some flakes of (?) still on it. Good work. From Ivan In New Zealand.

I know it’s been awhile since you made this, but that brass piece is from a horse harness
Great hunt ... I love those out in the woods, exploration type hunts. Good stuff.
Thanks for watching, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I want to do what you're doing💕❤️💕❤️
me too 💕 ❤️ 💕 ♥️
That 'mystery piece' of looped brass you found is a reins guide... although you likely already know this by now. - Dave

Hello from Sydney Australia, you should take an old toothbrush with you so you can clean the small things you find, very interesting video, thanks
Hi Brad, you have the best and most beautiful places to explore and hunt. There is no way I can go out in areas like that where I live which is SW Pennsylvania, I'm not brave enough going alone. Awesome finds Happy Hunting and Good Luck on the next one.
Marty aka Michele ; )
1L Michele you sure could, don't be scared, get a can of mace or concealed carry license and get out there
Hi Michele- I’m a Michele too and also live in SW Pa!! I live east of Pittsburgh! What area are you in?
You should show us your collection at home of your best finds in a video. Would be amazing.
FeAr CLAN I second that
Agreed
Great idea! I hope to make a video like that come winter when the ground is solid and I'm stuck indoors!
Green Mountain Metal Detecting yeah man, that makes sense! Haha
WOW super cool finds. Great job with the whites. Hey, I just dug one of those 2 circle different direction things. Any idea what it is? Sweet bells and buttons too. Great video.
Thanks!! I don't know for sure, but another commenter mentioned it's part of a horse drawn carriage. Your guess is as good as mine!
It's a swivelling strap / rein joiner. Stops the leather getting twisted.
Very nice finds well done from Dundee Scotland uk
You have no idea what dense forest is.In Southern Louisiana when you're walking into the forest you'll bounce off of it.
Hi. New fan of your videos. I believe the round brass piece at 11:11 might have been a smoke guard for an oil lamp. It would have been attached with a metal ring above the glass chimney to prevent soot from staining the ceiling.
Awesome, thanks for the info!!

Thank YOU for watching!
You are good at metal detecting
Just like the old rice fields in SC. They're all grown up with huge cypress and oaks and everything else now. 175 years ago they were carefully cultivated fields with tidal water flow capabilities to flood and drain the fields.
Ha I love the text clarification "EUROPEANS" for when you said "people." Good catch.
Sorry, I forgot to add, Amazing finds! I wonder in that button was from the French/Indian war. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, the thing you thought was a keychain I think is a rein guide for a horse and buggy or carriage.
Sue Girling I believe he said He would use it as a key chain. Not that it was a key chain.
Thanks for a great video hunt, super job with awesome finds. GL&HH
another great trip, was wondering if there's gold in that creek, surrounding rock looked like it would be a good spot for a test pan or two,glhh
Thanks, Dave! I've done a little panning around here without much luck, I may have to give it another try soon!

Back to the story...Angel, then surprised my by offering to show me the site...He told me that an ancient temple had once stood on the site..and it had once been occupied by ancient peoples of the time. Then he dropped the big one...I will take you there he said and help you to search the area...Bang....The site has been known by his church for a long, long time...Historical evidence etc...Then I started laughing at the image in my mind. Indiana Jack and the Tomb Raiding priest...I told him why I was laughing and he joined in....Another side to this story is..I went to a museum in the city..I know the curator well enough. I said to him, what do I do if I find anything of historical significance..even gold artefacts...Take them home he said...keep them. Don;t bring them to me...I would then have to involve the authorities. Everything would then got complicated. An investigation would take place....and it could take months. I would be wrapped up in red tape..Also there are no treasure trove laws here..The finds would be taken from me with no compensation etc. Just keep them....End Of Story....Last...Using Google Earth Pro..I myself have discovered a site not far from me...I walked the site only the other day....with the intention of detecting it...I took a photo from Google Earth..I showed it to my friend the priest..I asked, what do you think of this...Wow, he said...That's a fort...There are no stones there now, but the site was marked out by trees...You can clearly make out the boundaries. On the ground it just looks like a jumble of trees. The End.
VERY cool video(s)....the key to life, imo, is too enjoy the journey, not so much the destination....thank you for reminding me and letting me spend some 'nature time' with you....
Looks like an Ottoman Artillery button. 1876 to 1908. Could be a french one from Napoleon too.
Great relics and beautiful location! Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for watching!!
Anything that you wanted to use goes on a work brighter for a Workhorse what holds the reins up to the Hanes around the collar
What an awesome hunt! You found the coolest of things here! I love it!
I think the little bells are my faves!
Really cool finds! At 11:48, there was a bug in the top left who wanted to be in your video! :) GL and HH
There always going to be negative people out there in the metal detecting hobby or any other hobby like coin collecting. However there are enough of us who appreciate GMMD videos and the effort it takes to produce a highly professional video. I don’t appreciate negativity or dislikes on this site. Don’t watch the site if you have to be negative and unprofessional.
Looks like so much fun!!
Brad, When i saw you arr the guitarist on your vids, i have to ask who is your drummer??? I suspect it is also you!!! You quiet types always need a hard rockin outlet!!!
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks. I would love to see a little bit of the glass and pottery. Cheers Laura
Check your text, not showing up very well. Change size or color thanks.
In my reviving gardens in old Irish cottages in remote rural places my most interesting finds have been the spout of a teapot, which would have been a major disaster to a poor family with the Irish addiction to tae,.. and a complete set of false teeth... Not dug yet where I am and would dearly love a metal detector,
4:01 have you thought about taking GPS coordinates for area. Shoot compass for road direction, get on google earth and compare old growth trees as compared to trees the size of what you saw in area to possibly find out where the road bed leads ? Not always easy but fun to do if you have time.
Awesome finds man. Even though you didn't find any coins. I love the relics. Great French button and that Art plate is very cool.....Ron
Thanks for watching, Ron!
I wish I could a White's Metal Detector. I hear they are the best. My family has a family dump in the state of Maine.
Great video! I hunt with the White's MXT Pro and Garrett AT Gold. It was interesting to watch you try the MX Sport. Looks like you got the hang of it fairly quickly.
Thanks Donnie! It's definitely a different feel than AT pro, but I'm starting to get the hang of it!
@@GMMD what state are you in. Have you ever been 2 Washington state
The Green Mountain State, Jerry!
@@GMMD cool. I have always wanted to visit Vermont. Looks like a nice place to be. Have you ever been to the evergreen state of Washington. Lots of things to do outside here. Thank you for chatting. Take care and good luck to you. God bless
Hey Brad, love you videos I subscribe to your channel, can't seem to get resent videos.
Hi Brad, That double loop thing is part of a horse cart, like this one I found : th-cam.com/video/5qiMvcryRz4/w-d-xo.htmlm33s
Awesome, thanks so much for the information!
No problem, I relay enjoy your videos.
I would guess the cellar hole site was an old mill site.
Nice hunt
I Dig Daytona I thought that too.
I knew a man who walked an old country road. He checked around the largest oldest tree and had a hit. He dug up a little bag of gold jewelry about a hundred years old.
Great video ! Vids like yours help me get through our long New England winters ! I own a Whites, and love it. Can't wait for the ground to thaw. !. My Great Granddad was born in Vermont. He was a Gagnon. I don't know off hand where he was born, but he was born during the civil war. circa 1863. Maybe in those very woods...heheh ! Thanks. Peace !
small bell was probably part of a candle snuffer! Wissing the handle>
Thank you for the hike thru the lovely woods. I look forward to more videos.
