Your vernacular in your description of your items separates you from the other treasure hunters whose vocabulary is limited to "oh my God!" "I'm blown away!" "This is so awesome!" It's a pleasure to watch your videos and especially the low level emotions you exhibit every week.
ive been watching you now for a couple of years...i dont go out much any more...having problems walking...but i love metal detecting.....last year....i metal detected an old stone wall foundation....and found a half rotted leather bag..full of morgan silver dollars...from 1879--1888...17 dollars in total...
WoW🤩 Very lucky 🍀👋🏼🇨🇦
Dang, did you post anything on any of our metal detecting Facebook pages? We would've loved to have seen that 😃
@@kayesdigginit1519 i never recorded anything...i have the coins still....but always check old stone foundations..this will probably never happen again ..but who knows...back in the day...people hid their money ...gold silver...never found gold ..but im always hopeful....i am going to florida for the winter....and i will have my metal detector....i just wanna find one gold coin...
@@stephenwyman4176 I sure will, wherever I get up to where those are. I'm in Texas so I go up to New England to hunt with my TH-cam friends, to include Waynos 👍
A Big Congrats on all the Silver Dollars. Been detecting 14 years and been fortunate enough to find 8 Silver Dollars. 2 Piece Dollars and the rest Morgan's. Take Care
That hinged thing is half of a ladies two piece belt buckle circa 1930s. That hinge part is where one half of the fabric belt would attach. The other half would look just the same with another place to attack the other end if the belt. Then the two pieces hook in the middle. Either with a hook and some sort of eye or other clip. I make vintage reproduction clothing and I’m an historical costumer. These were the rage in the 1930s. Kind of fell out of favor in the 40s in favor of plastic or other non metals during the war. Ps: I live in your town. We love to see all the places you go. We recognize most of them. Love the channel.
The buckle patent was given in 1929. So it follows with your given info.
You inspired me , several years ago, to purchase my first detector and I've never looked back!! Just wanted to say thanks for the continued inspiration.
Brad, great video today. My uncle gave me a telescoping cup when I was about 5-6 years of age. He said that he always carried one when he went hunting or fishing and I had it forever until I went off to college, Fall 1966. My mom "repurposed" my room and packed up all my things so that my brothers could have my space. You should get one for your son to take with you guys when you go out for one of your adventures. Please continue these great videos!😃😃
The history involved in finding something that old with a bullet hole in it is fascinating. I was with a gentleman 30+ years ago who was 40 years older than me at least who had found a late 1800s sheriff badge with a bullet hole in it..
Wow, that is a historical relic and a half 👌🏽
I wonder if The person that shot the sheriff will not admit to shooting the deputy. Maybe it was the deputy.
@@canaan5337 Is it possible the sheriff shot the deputy? 🤔
Lost the key to the padlock, shot it open, bought another one! Cheers! Love the Channel!
Oak tree gall, the wasp lays the egg on a leaf/lesser twig, and the tree grows the gall around the larvae...
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years but have never posted any comments. I just wanted to convey how much I enjoy watching your metal detecting adventures, collaborations with your friends, and the episodes in which include your lovely family. I especially admire your skillful, articulate descriptions of your detecting and the incredible historical details from your research that you share. Your musical talents and video production skills also add a great deal to your audience’s viewing experience; you have one of the best channels on TH-cam, and I wish you continued success!
Hey Brad awesome diggings again .The Buckle you found is called a clamp lever for buckles i 1930 made by William J. Morse. couldn't find information on William besides I did find his patent number.
Looks like Mr Morse of Attleboro, Mass. was an inventor. Found reference to another patent in 1919 for Morse Andrews Co of same town, but little else that I could understand.
A very tiny bell is the smallest one I have seen. Wish it was whole and hear it ring. Thanks for sharing your beautiful videos From TEXAS USA
This is a buckle from a cloth belt on a woman’s dress. I used to work at an antique shop and actually saw one similar to this before. I really love you videos and appreciate all the information.
Thanks for confirming my guess
Love your videos. Photography is beautiful and I always learn something.
I'm so glad that you give me something to look forward to on Friday morning when I get off work. Keep the videos coming!!!!
The cylinder is a powder flask for the muzzle loading pistol that was used to shoot the round ball through the padlock that was used to entomb Degrau's evil spirit in a sea chest is what I expected - then Eddie called to confirm that Degrau is back!
Spooky.
Brad! An educator too! So many layers!
Love the videos. I’ve wanted to check out Vermont until you said “Mosquitoes.”
(Cindy) Great video as always! Awesome finds plus a look at your local flora - so different from our Alabama woods. Thanks for your attention to detail and wonderful editing!
A great start to a Friday off, enjoying my coffee with your video! I definitely think that buckle goes to a sash maybe for a woman's dress if that is a shell component for decoration? I wonder if taking a call home to try to make ink with Bentley might be a fun project, I know I'd like to try that now I'm going to be looking for galls. Thanks for all your efforts, always a pleasure. 🌿
The mother of pearl item reminds me of a belt buckle. I had one similar on a fine woven cloth belt I had maybe 30 years ago.
Great video as always! Can’t wait to see the new series. Thanks for taking us along.
I have a couple of aquatic African dwarf frogs and their song is similar to your pin pointer sound before it gets high pitched. Your pin pointer sound always perks them up. 😆
Great finds today.
Jingle bells are fastened to a leather strap with cotter pins and go around the girth of the horse, over the harness. A string of them is usually either one size (like for a pony) or the entire set of sizes going from large at the top to smaller as they go down the sides of the horse. The variation in sizes is to maximize the range of sound to assist in alerting other rigs of an approaching rig in the snow or at night.
Happy I found this channel. I'm 45 and have lived in central Vermont my whole life and I find metal detecting interesting. I also love your "shots" and the scenery is beautiful ❤️😊
Bears have been very active here just North of Barre VT. Stay safe
Brad even when the finds are few , you make up for it in your videos, thanks for another great video.........
Wow, a great video this week, thanks for putting in the time to show the coins all cleaned up. You are one of the few Vermont based TH-camrs with regular high quality content! Love it!
Good hunt especially liked them lesson on the oak galls always learning 👍🦀
Good morning everyone!! Good morning triple B Martin's (Brad, Becca and Bentley) I'm watching now 😊 I was finally able to finish your video, wonderful finds that I'd love to find as well. Ours is such a great hobby with so much to find and research too 😃
Hi Brad sure love looking at the woods and bringing back childhood memories. All the best. Chris
Some really superb finds, Brad! I also enjoyed the story about the oak galls which I have picked up in the woods. I thought they were nuts. I love the little bell and even the telescoping cup. Enjoy our Sunday and keep cool. A mechanical mosquito repellent device might help you through these summers.
Hi Brad! You always make watching you dig holes in the ground interesting. I get excited for you as you find pennies, drawer handles etc. I hope you and your family have a wonderful day in Vermont. I am 65 today and I hope I get to watch you “dig holes” for years to come. Many blessings from Wisconsin.
Green mountain metal detecting and aquachigger are my favorites...
Have you watched Terra germania with Hans. He also makes great detecting videos like Brad filmed very well.
Hi Brad, Awesome finds. TFS Would love to see your treasure wall/room. Stay safe & ✌
Great video once again. B Roll outstanding. Drone above the trees beautiful.
About the 'telescoping cup' They would have been made well into the 60s because back in those days where I grew up, kids picked berries and would take cups like that with them (in a pocket) so we could get a drink of water from the water tank (about 5 - 6 gallons of water. They would sometimes be created with a small pocket on the underside of the cap to put pills in if you needed them.
I love your channel and watch all of your adventures! What happened to you showing us most of your finds? Instead we get to see them at the end in the wrap up! I really miss seeing the adventure of you finding them!
Great finds. That buckle is really nice looking.
I watch your videos as much or more for your photography of the forest and plants as the metal detecting.
Brad, so calming. Thank you.
Very interesting story about the Oak gall….My house is surrounded by Oak trees and this year I’ve been finding them here and there and couldn’t figure out what it is! So, thanks for clarifying that mystery for me.😊 Great video as usual….Blessings send from Ontario, Canada and good luck on your next adventure Brad🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦
I have the cup you found and still use it when camping. Circa 1950's
You make US hunting so cool. Thanks for every video.
I think the Indian is 1899 not 1889. That is a great find! I am still hunting for one. I have never found an Indian, large cent, or flying eagle. My best coin find is a standing liberty quarter-too worn to see the date. Thanks for the great video!!!
I like it when you share your finds all cleaned up. 😘
Brad, I love your informational tidbits about nature and history. I love both too!
I love watching your videos, always so interesting. I have made the oak gall ink, it also makes a nice black dye for wool. Problem is it tends to be a bit corrosive. At the State Park we have also used the galls as heads to make corn husk dolls…
When do we get to see this often talked about "treasure room" where you display your finds??
He has shown it previously
I had to laugh at the date on your patent. It's my birth day, Dec. 2, but luckily many, MANY years before I was born. LOL
The wasp actually makes the gall. I was curious about what and why oaks produced them for. I copied this from a quick internet search..."Oak galls are abnormal plant growths found on foliage and twigs that are produced by small oak gall wasps. Shapes of galls vary from spherical to urn-shaped to star-shaped to fuzzy. Inside the galls are the eggs and larvae of the insects."
Think the brass tube is the locking mechanism to an umbrella or parasol. Love the shot lock and all your videos !!!
Awesome finds 👏
The cup is still available from dozens of sources in plastic, aluminum and stainless....etc
Love that shot out old lock. Looks like a large caliber round went through it, probably a 45/70. That beautiful buckle like Item is very interesting. Cool finds!
TGIF! Love to hear your atmospheric music and see your charming smile! That telescoping cup is fantastic! I have a plastic one from 1955...my grandmother gave it to me for going in the woods and drinking from springs! Great find! I thought of the second and third theories first for that lock being shot! Watch out for Yogi and BooBoo! So enjoy your history bytes. Best video on the Tube. Can't wait to see Eddie again!
True about Yogi!
Very good show! How about a tour of your treasure room, one these days?
👍😊 nice haul,
Great job Brad !!
I so enjoy your channel. You knowledge of history and your excitement are very entertaining!
Very excited to hear of the new project coming from you and Eddie,can’t wait! Thanks
Interesting and entertaining as usual, I have metal detected around a small area where I live ( Hampshire England ) never found anything interesting and last week a metal detecting club met here and they didn't find much either. I reckon the folks who used to live around here were too mean to lose even a penny....
Or it was picked up by someone else.
Nicely done Brad I enjoyed the video will catch you on the next one 🇺🇸
Nice finds , watch for the bears haha , we have them getting in our yards and one even got on a porch of house behind mine.
Loved this weeks video. Quit the adventure this week. I kept saying the same as you.....quit the interesting day. Lol. Look forward to the next. And I am hoping the best for that container of coins for you.
Have you tried Dead Down Winds cedar oil spray? It's worked great for us here in PA for ticks, mosquitoes and such. Nothing harmful for humans or pets and has been more effective for us than anything with deet or permetherin.
Could that buckle possibly be a more modern & fancy belt buckle, where it was fabric that slid through it and the latch piece locked it in place? I also wonder if that tiny bell could have been attached to the collar of a shepard dog to keep the flocks in line.
Like your cap. It reminds me of when I was in the Navy, (1964-1970) I wore the same cap I was issued in boot camp, for the entire time. It looked like that in the bill. The rest was a little worse for wear, because if I washed it, it would have disintegrated. I think the rear band was starting to wear through. I was told many times to get a new one, but I never did. I wore it until I got out. It lasted five tours in Vietnam.
Brad nice fines for you young man love the history of your videos stay blessed and see you again 👍🙏
I really enjoy your videos. They are very interesting and your knowledge of finds and especially the history makes them even more enjoyable. The mountains in Vermont are beautiful and I love seeing the trees and greenery. Thanks for sharing, as being in Australia and not in great health, I am never going to see Vermont in person, so I appreciate being a part of your videos. All the best. Take care. Warmest Greetings from Sharon in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. 🇦🇺
HEY! Good morning Brad and thumbs UP !!
I think my dad had one of those tube things. His was silver in color. Its a cylinder match safe. It held stick (wooden) matches. It would’ve had a rough end or sides to be used as the striker.
Some great finds on the day Brad. That shot lock is sweet. I found a wheat penny that was shot twice with a .22. That buckle is wicked cool. Happy hunting and be well
I'm late but as always enjoyed your video. The lick with a bullet whole does make your imagination fly... I loved the finds and as always look forward to next week. You're the best!
I love the complete Yale padlock that wasn’t shot up even better … wonderful hunt. 💥
Hi, Brad. I think I enjoy the possible history of some of your finds more than the finds themselves. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Woman's belt buckle pretty sure. Have some similar! Great finds!
That could be the handle from the strong box the padlock was shot off of!
Good show as always Brad, stay well man!
I had one of those collapsible cups in the Scouts. Awesome lock case. Cool sash buckle.
Morning Brad, my opinion that pad lock was shot at close range, I would also say it was locked onto a chest or??
Be safe!!! God Bless!!!
Escaped prisoner…someone shot off the lock…
Cool finds
Nice finds. Like you, I wonder why the shot-up lock. Good shot to hit the center, but at what distance?
I am intrigued by the shot-out padlock, and also by Eddie's mysterious text message!
Like the belt buckle you thought was a suspender great find
I knew that cup looked familiar! Cool
RE: the oak gall ink-- Another good way of making ink was to burn wool to ashes, grind the ashes into as fine a powder as possible, and mix with a little water and gum arabic. I've tried this; it makes decent ink, so long as you really grind the ashes very fine. I think the original recipe came from the Middle East, but that was hundreds of years ago and it spread pretty far. Lampblack was also used in American colonial times and clear up until only a century or so ago to make good ink.
That beautiful little mother-of-pearl clasp-- I wonder if it could go to a lady's purse or belt? It really was very nice.
The clasp you found looks very much like a scarf clasp, my grandmother had one similar. She would wear her scarf over her shoulders then the clasp would hold the scarf together at the front .
Another Fine video Brad! You and Ed........ what Are you scheming?! Can't wait to find out! Keep them coming,TGIF.
at 13:31 the brass tube was an adjustable powder measure for both rifle and pistol you can change measurements with the slot on the side of it
Awesome finds. Wish i could afford a metal detector. I live in Mass. Sure i could find all kinds of cool things like this!
Really cool finds. I think that clasp is a belt or sash buckle. Let us know the age of that lovely handle you found. It was great
You always manage to come out with some interesting finds Brad!
In the uk we call the oak tree gourds Acorns
Brad you are the only detectorist that I watch that uses the XP Deus II. I use the Equinox 800 now but have been considering purchasing a Deus. Would you consider making a video about the use of the XP Deus II? Thanks.
I sure have been enjoying your videos.
Would love to see your " finds" displays.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
Yeah, waiting for the new series, you and Eddie together again.
Oh wow Brad! This is the first for me. I believe I know this power line!
Nice Dig Brad!! Tc buddy! JJ
I enjoyed your video and all the amazing items that you found 🙂👍👍👍🗝️
Those collapsible cups were popular in the 1960's with scouts. They didn't take up any room for packing and were a good joke to play on someone that didn't suspect they were collapsible
