- Are those who once lived in these ruins still here? And what would they think of the hobby of metal detecting?

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FINDING THE OTHER STIRRUP! THAT IS ONE IN A MILLION FIND! YOU MUST THINK OF THE SCENARIO AT WHICH HAD TO BE POSSIBLE FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED? JUST AMAZING!!!
It looks like the devil or a Baphomet .. evil ., it’s not purity cool too me .. I’d be freaked out over it and leave ..
If Chris was able to keep the stirrups, I would love to see a picture of the matching pair cleaned up.
Never heard of a saw pit. Amazing. Thanks for all these little jewels you throw in :)
That tree burl reminds me of Pan from the Greek stories, and he played the flute. Maybe the owner of the large harmonica and Pan had some wild times up there in the woods, playing some music and dancing around drinking cider and mulled wine.
I def would make sure that the tree is well taken care of. That is nature's art with a side of weirdness just because it can.
If it resembled Jesus it would gain a international following.
Satyrs are real. I saw one on a Bigfoot channel recently, and it definitely took me awhile to actually figure out what I was looking at. Sounds crazy, I know...
Wanna see the stirrups all cleaned up! :)
Me too," on the Stirrups !!!
Need the Chigg to give the bullet information. I like the idea it was used as a game piece. The elephant head mark had a makers name below. Nice stirrups too! Make a great craft item. Great Bofus too! He'll enjoy the cellar, tough omnivores!
I like the the idea of your bringing the items to the landowner. That, and picking up trash, are what gets us invited back!
Wondered where this was going. Someone living in an enchanted forest, a frog, horse riding person, tree spirits. Sounds like a fairy tale in the making
I’m glad you heard me when I told you that was a purse. Lol Yes, I talk to the screen. So what?! 😎
The projectile is a Mini ball from the Civil War period, most likely 58 caliber..
7:00 i was once detecting in a nearby forest, and one particular patch of the forest lots of tree's had inclusions on the bark in the shapes of an eye, it was really bizarre i had never seen that before let alone so many of them, im sure i have photos of it somewhere if anyone's interested I can post them on Instagram for a few day.
I would like to see that.
Yes!
I think bringing Chris along is lucky! Imagine the poor person who lost those beautiful stirrups - they were probably expensive! They are definitely my favorite find of this video. And that big toad was awesome! Thanks again for taking us along on your adventures.
I loved seeing the little red newt..........thanx
Spirits of the woods their eye's are upon us, as they are frozen in time. Nice hunt guy's 🇺🇸
I was kinda thinking that too.
Wow, that was one hell of a good hunt.
The fact that Chris found both sturips was a streak of luck that never happens to me 👍😎👍
Brad and Chris there is an old saying that even a bad day of fishing is a much better day than being at work. So I'm pretty sure that you could apply it to metal detecting to. I really look forward to seeing you out and about, thanks.
DEFINITELY. I make my living buying and selling antiques and collectibles including coins, and as a single mom with no other income I basically have to hustle every waking hour. Even when I grant myself 'down' time I can't relax enough to just watch a movie or something; I feel a constant need to seek desirable objects. If I'm sick of making Ebay listings or I just finished a big reorganizing effort or something like that, if it's late at night I go through whatever recent pocket change or bank rolls I have, to look for errors and whatever.....but if it's daytime, baby I'm hopping in the car with Holmes and Watson (detecter and pinpointer)! I rarely find anything remotely good (Mercury dimes are the very best so far), but just the chance of a great discovery is compelling enough, and it is SOOOOOO fun and meditative.
Great video Brad and Chris. The stirrup finds were awesome. Thanks for sharing. Until next time. *Chris*
The pair of silver plated matching stirrups OMG too cool Chris, Congrats man!! 😀 You were on it!! The huge double reeded harmonica reed, the 1st one I've ever seen. 😳👍 Brad that gold gilded eagle button. 🎉 3 great old pennies that you found; the coin purse part, both of you finding spoons. An all-around great hunting day out. I think we're all interested to know what the land owner let you 2 keep BTW ☺
Yes I totally agree great finds.
Chris... what's that old saying ? "Gotta see a man about a horse " . Congrats on the find.
Awesome search Brad and Chris are the best. A few Ruby's placed on the stirrups will improve the overall bling. Thanks guys be well and safe. Chuck in NJ
If not Ruby's then the garnets that they found 😂😂
Years ago My dad took me out to an old plantation in Mississippi. We had to walk a while into the woods to get to it. The old house was still standing but the roof was about half caved in. There was a cemetery a ways behind the house and there headstones made from cypress. On our way back out I took a couple of the bricks from the fireplace. The day I got back home in Texas I was standing by the kitchen sink talking on the phone to my brother when someone clearly knocked on the door. My brother even heard the knock over the phone. I immediately leaned over the sink to look out the window and saw no one at the door. The next day I gave the bricks away.
@Wishful Thinking Not sure how those two psychologist came up with that idea but I figure it realized I didn't have a cold so there was no reason to put me in the ground. It wasn't even flu season. You see I did some studying and found that the majority of them folks in the graveyards died from the flu or cold. Im figuring that because they're all still in their coffin. 🥁
Have I mentioned I love your videography? Because I love your videography! I love that I can hear all the ambient noises clearly and also your peaceful approach to presenting these hunts. Your channel continues to inspire my own growth as a newbie CZcamsr.
That's an interesting discussion re: spirits! I'd like to think that if that were the case, we were honouring their memory by cherishing their items once more before they are lost to the earth. Love the elephant spoon. Happy hunting. :)
DirtFishMish I totally agree. He has the best videography I've seen on CZcams!! I love his calm nature (I'd be flipping out with excitement at some of his finds!) and his knowledge of what everything is!!! He's incredibly smart & u can tell he's studied up and knows his his history which is another thing I love about him. My favorite thing about this channel is that Brad always learns the history of the area he's going to hunt & lays that out to the viewers which is so cool!!!! This is definitely one of my favorite channels!!!
Julianne Harris yes, the story-telling aspect is so great. I’m in Australia, so my knowledge of US history isn’t great (Australian coins are my thing!). I love learning about the history of US currency in particular through these episodes, but as always with detecting, you never know what a day will bring and some of the surprise finds are equally amazing. 😊
When you found the spoon I saw all those ants and wondered how you could stay kneeling so long close to it .
Your videos just keep getting better and better.... Chris is a keeper!
J&D
Hey, great finds in a beautiful location. Thanks for taking us along.
The nub tip on the 3 ringer is either from the mold and was never clipped off. Or to tie string around for use as a sinker
As always Brad, excellent presentation of television quality. A great start to my day
Some interesting finds 🤔 I love the place you go to
Brad, if you know of the "Aquachigger" he's from MD., he finds tons of those 3 ring Civil War Bullets, dropped ones and fired ones, he could tell ya which one you found. He's on YT under that name above look him up and ask..? =)
Love the Chigg. His awesome 😎
yes Bo "Aquachigger" could tell you in a instant about the three ringed bullet
Everyone loves the Chiggster!
Some sweet finds guys congrats Chris awesome Stirrups hard to find one ATB & H.H
Great adventure guys keep them coming.
Hope Chris gets his horse soon 👍
Metal detecting is a fun and adventurous hobby, My husband and I have found many interesting trinkets and valuables over the years. along with many natural metals, coins etc.....Great pastime plus you get exercise and fresh air along with a s brief flash of time travel.....
The minnie’ ball looks like a 58 caliber and I have never seen one “wormed” like that. I think they carved it. It may have been cast and still had the blob on top and they just carved on it being bored. Idk..love your videos
Yea, the ring on it isn't from a worm or puller, nor is it a spru from the mold. I shoot black powder and cast all my own balls. That mini ball was carved like that. Who knows why, but it was carved.
All great finds. I've never seen a 3 ringer with that nub on the top. Chris finding a pair of matching stirrups is amazing. Nice video.
Great finds guy's congrats!! Awesome stirrups Chris!! Thanks for sharing the hunt Brad. Stay safe. GL&HH!
3 ring minnie ball. That mark on top is where they pulled it out of the barrel
Great day in the Woods!!
Such a happy thing that Chris returned to Vermont--you guys have such a good time together! Great & unique finds today. Be sure to let us know what kind of horse Chris gets!! Ha!
Great Finds Fella's
Those Stirrups and
Coins plus what a gigantic Harmonica
Reed! Proof Sasquach

Awesome day for you guys stay blessed and see you again on the next episode 👍
Busy Friday morning here! Had to push pause on the " Honeydo's " and have a second cup of coffee and big breakfast with GMMD!! Thanks for taking us with you!!!
Enjoyed watching. Very cool to find the trifecta of stirrups. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Nice outing guys!! Thank you.
Wow, stellar day guys! I definitely want to see the stirrups cleaned up if you get to keep them.. Nice lucky shirt....I wore mine today.
Another great video 📹 nice finds
As much as I love the old things you find, I enjoy the shots of the fauna
Brad. Love your adventures. Please try to keep the items more still when viewing; I get kinda dizzy. But you’re the best. Love your family values and the friends you bring along. I would like to see your collection all cleaned up. Those drawers must be full of good stuff. 😆
Never heard of a saw pit. Thx for the visual, too; pictures, adventure. Appreciate your channel.
Hi Brad, The bullet you found is a .58 caliber 3-Ringer or Minie Ball that was used during the Civil War in Springfield Rifles. What's interesting about yours is that it was pulled from a rifle unfired using a worm type puller. That is why it has that ringed groove at the point. The puller resembles a corkscrew and wraps around the bullet cutting that groove in it so it can grip and the bullet pulls out easily. Even more interesting is the question of, were there Union Soldiers in that area during the war? Those rifles were used for sometime after the war, and many were converted to the Trapdoor single shot cartridge style later in life. I doubt they were sold off as surplus until the late 1800's or early 1900's. So it was either a Soldier in the war that unloaded there (due to the rifle refusing to fire, or it was removed by a hunter later in history for the same reason.
Great pics. Wish I was with you guys, I love this kind of thing. Absolutely beautiful there, and have never been....LOL thanks again.
Awesome stirrups! Thst was a good day hunting.
Great adventure friends!! Thanks for bring us along!!
Good job guys! Liked and enjoyed. Thanks for the adventure Brad and Chris. JJ
Have you ever heard that the burhl wood is worth a lot, because of its uniqueness?? Be safe, i hope you find some extra special finds!! Much love for yours and Chris's families!!💜
Some seriously great finds!! To find both stirrups of that quality is just amazing! I would have been happy with any single find from that day
I always love your videos. I only wished you made more. Maybe live streams or videos explaining how the detectors work. For instance, you say I have an 83 on the target. It would help new people understand the equipment better or videos on the different brands . Keep up the great content. 😎
That was great. Love the stirrups. Hope you got to keep everything. Also that face in the tree was awesome. Always look forward to your new show/video's.
The tree looks like the beast from Disney's beauty & the beast. 🐎
Sweet hunt, I had never seen a flying eagle cent ... sweet! Nice day out in nature, cheers.
Great hunt! I have yet to find a stirrup. Very cool!
Good hunt in the back country. Glad your back guys.
As always great stuff.
LOVE THIS BRAD YOUR AWESOME CHEERS.... Love your videos and vlogs
The scenery is awsome in your videos. Some of these scenes should be on jigsaw puzzles. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Great hunt man. Boy that flying eagles a tough one! Cool stirrups too!
Freaking sweet haul guys 👍👍👍
Love the nature you show.

Thanks Brad, well done!
Awesome finds on this video , congratulations to your friend !! Love the srerups , I really like the things you find , good job you two !!!
your videos are definitely among my favorites! thanks for the joy :)
Congratulations Chris on the stirrups & huge harmonica Reed. Love the ornate spoon, bullet and eagle button Brad
I believe that 3 ringer is a chest piece for some kind of game I like your friend hunting with you he's pretty cool enjoy the video always do did you give up looking for the gold
In the Native American culture a person asks the spirits for permission in enter the property and then thank the spirits when you leave. They also leaving an offering such as tobacco to thank the spirits. “Or” leave something of your self such as a good spit of saliva!
Good finds today!,
Cindy🌸🌸🌸
Like #416 - 5:14 - You spoke of horses with Chris' finding a stirrup. The thought I have: what about riding horses to these properties that you detect? Just thinking.
Giddy-up Chris!
Brad, it seems like that site was inhabited by a Civil War soldier. The time period of most of the coins & some of the other stuff are during the war and then add in the minie ball. It would be interesting to find out who lived there during the war. If u could find out a name from the landowner or land records, then u could look on ancestry and see what u could find out about the person. They obviously survived the war as there was a post war date coin. It would also be interesting to see those stirrups all shined up and see if they might possibly be Civil War cavalry stirrups. The decor on them seems a bit extravagant for just the run of the mill stirrups of that time. Did Chris get to keep the stirrups?
Cool finds. As for that toad, you should see the toads down here in south Florida, they're cane toads, and some are over 9 inches long from their nose to their vent/butt. If you stretch their back legs out they're well over a foot long. I was shocked the first time I saw one, I thought I found some record toad, but to find out they're just another invasive species that was brought here and now they're breeding like crazy. lol. The bad thing is they have glands, and even the tadpoles are highly to most animals, a lot of peoples dogs and cats have died from catching them.
Another awesome video Brad. Thanks for posting and as always I look forward to more!
Awesome hunt gentlemen. Saved a whole lot of history this hunt. I hope the land owner does let you keep the artifacts. Enjoyed watching. Looking forward to your next hunt for artifacts and coins. Best of luck.
Again, great finds! lts like a history lesson. Love it.
Never saw one quite like that bullet....could be carved for game piece! Very cool! Awesome finds!
Great video! Beautiful mushroom species in your area. Happy Hunting🇨🇦😁
Now that I had never heard, under dog/top dog. Or the saw pit. We had lumbering here in Northern Mi. in 1880s thru 1910 than the fire of 1911. I had never run across or heard of saw pits. Thanks. Love it. Great finds.
First time you’ve mentioned saw pits. Makes me wonder now about some inexplicable holes I’ve seen. Good info. Good day out.
Wow wow wow! That 'face' burl is really somethin'!... Thanks for another Fine Friday video
What great finds! I would have loved to have dug those stirrups - be interested to see them cleaned up, amazing! I thought the saw pit interesting, I can't remember you mentioning them before. Can't say I've seen anyone find a bullet quite like that one - Beau would know. Keep safe have fun! 🙏🐾🦘👍
I love these forest videos and the bullet WOW! I loved detecting the forest even more tho Lol.. Great channel and videos 👍🏻 I kept waiting on that tree to Talk to us.
Lots of great stuff here. I like the stirrups for sure. The shot of the large white mushroom would make a great still photo for a show of your own photography work. You do some great camera work. Thanks for all the effort you put in.
Awesome finds guy's keep up the hunt.
Chris drinking Maple Syrup while riding in his Stirrups a possible scenario made it a bit closer to possibility Thank's Chris you two had some good finds today!!!; )
...cool intro....a very nice juvenile Notophalmus viridesens (the common Eastern Newt) in the intro...as they age, they turn olive green...
I had a stroke 2 weeks ago and have been bed bound since. I have always been exited on Friday morning to click in your newest postings. Now at this time I am even more excited. Great hunt and good luck on next hunts.
Hope you feel better soon, Amy.
nh cheyenne, thank you, so kind of you.
You both did great wow the mans face on the tree is so perfect almost looked real that frog was looking at you both like you were from outer space 😄I haven't seen stirrups like those before(the matching pair) bet they were really nice when they were new, those coins were a good find and the huge harmonica piece never seen one that big before .I've seen that lion symbol on antique dishes from England, interesting about the saw pit I have an antique two handled saw overall I think the both of you did fantastic. I really enjoyed the video very much.Thankyou😊🐓🐎🐄
What the HELL!!! There should be more 👍 on these video's... Brad I look forward to each one of your video's! A BIG FAN here in 🌵 Phoenix, Arizona 🌵😎 🙋 😷 🙌 "I'm your huckleberry!"
Toad love ❤❤❤ great finds! Thanks for taking us along!
Not sure why, but toads always look vaguely resentful to me. I'm probably anthropomorphisizing-- that might've been the happiest toad in the world, for all I know.
MASSIVELY COOL STIRRUPS! Man, I would *love* to see those properly strapped! Got to wonder about how on earth somebody lost those? There's no way they came off a horse's tack while it was being ridden, so-- theft? Maybe somebody stole them, hid them and never came back for them? You don't just lose a fancy pair of stirrups!
Spirits and so forth... Living out here in the Southwest, I hike to a lot of ruins, mostly Native American but also to old ghost towns, mines, graveyards, etc. If I feel like there's somebody around, I generally say something to the effect of "Hello, I'm here, I'm not going to destroy anything, just looking around," and when I leave I wish whoever's listening peace. I never give my name-- that's important. Maybe there's someone/something listening, maybe not, but I figure it never hurts to be civil... OR careful. And if something looks like it was left as an offering (something you do see out here at Native American ruins and petroglyph sites) I absolutely freaking do not touch it. Allllll the nopes. I've seen cornmeal, fresh mesquite pods, ears of corn, tobacco, coins, candles, feathers, strips of cloth or leather, honey, oil, cigarettes, food, alcohol and many, many other offerings-- and I may be a plain old white chick, but I'm not stupid-- you show respect and leave offerings *alone.* Intent lingers. But random coins in an old road I wouldn't call offerings, so I'd be all over those.
Chris, not to be personal and all, but that's one huge harmonica reed you got there. Wow. As for the odd three-ring bullet, if you were anywhere near the sea I'd swear the thing had been carved at the end to make a fishing-weight; seen that, though usually they just put a hole through them and mostly on ones that'd already been fired and were damaged. They even got used as small net-weights sometimes. **shrugs** But in the middle of a Vermont forest?
What an awesome tree!
