Beautiful Luckenbooth heart! I have found only two during my years of relic hunting here in the sandhills of North Carolina. This area was a big area for Scottish settlers.
Great idea to go back and search under logs and rocks! Also speaks highly of the Deus and it's capabilities to find all those targets on a site you have searched so many times before. Thanks for taking us along yet again! 💚
Great video as always!! Loved the fox cufflinks and the brooch. You just never know what you can find even if you go back two dozen times! Lol! Vermont is just beautiful!!
The broach is very similar to my engagement/wedding ring. My husband is Irish and very much wanted me to have a traditional Claddagh ring. The heart represents love, the crown-loyalty and hands-friendship. Worn on the right hand with the point of the heart pointed away from you means you are open to love/relationship, same hand pointed in means your heart is closed, you are in a relationship, left hand pointed out you are engaged, left hand pointed in-you are married. Very beautiful sentiment in these tokens.
Just some food for thought regarding shotgun shells. I’ve been a hunter for over sixty years, and a metal detectorist for only almost three years. Like you, I enjoy detecting in the woods, and when I find a shotgun headstamp, I immediately begins a spiral search from the drop site. Why? Many old shotguns only held one or two shells, so once the shell was spent, it was necessary to reload, often from a jacket pocket or pouch, where other items may have been located, and may have fallen out while removing the fresh round. I have found knives, lighters and many coins in close proximity to headstamps, so I would encourage you to rethink walking away from an area because you’re finding shotgun headstamps. It takes a minute or so to spiral out to 10’ or so, just in case something else was dropped nearby. JMHO
The Scottish brooch has such an unusual history! Excellent finds just going back over ground you've covered before, and ending with a Connecticut Copper...awesome, Brad!💖
Brad, I watched with a lump in my throat imagining the people and there lives in an area that is now just trees and forest.. They represent the pioneers that created this great country which I fear is so threatened now. The motto of Vermont is Freedom and Unity and New Hampshire is Live free or Die. Both from pioneer states. I hope we keep our freedom and unity and live free without dying, for the sake of our children and grand children. Your discoveries set a positive example of what our past was all about, the spirit and the independence. Thank you, Frederick "Rik" Spector
When I saw the heart shape with a crown I thought of the Irish Claddagh symbol. A small silver charm size with a birthstone was recovered in a hunt with Quarter Hoarder this week. Great find Brad!
Watching this episode reminds me of a very trite saying, “ dig it all.” Great finds. Thanks for the history. I never knew why they were called a Tom-back button. The love token brooch is spectacular.
@@mrychards6682 Thanks for the spelling. I really didn't know about that particular button and have heard it spoken about for many years. I love learning from these programs. Truly
This just goes to show you that no matter how many times an area has been detected, you still have a good chance at finding new stuff. People often pick and choose what they did based on their signals, like Bread talked about... Plus technology is getting better every day. If you have unlimited access to an area, it's almost stupid to not check every signal (no offense to anyone). And move rocks, logs, etc. Remember that a lot of those things weren't sitting there a century ago. It pays to be diligent and thorough. Nice hunt, Brad! Beautiful finds, and congratulations on the broach!
Amazing finds Brad. It’s like the Hoover boys say, dig it all and it’s never hunted out. I recently went to a site we believed was hunted out, and I found a button and an 1809 half cent. Congrats and HH from SW Vermont!
Your vids are so well crafted and you are very knowedgable regarding your finds. It's so refreshing that you don't yell and holler with each target. Here in CA there is nothing sonold, and there is always a lot of modern trash. Great hunting with you!
Hi Brad, wow congratulations on finding that beautiful Luckenbooth brooch, what a find. Some lovely buttons, my favourite is the one with the flower. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Seriously, every time I watch one of your videos I die a little inside. What I wouldn’t give to have the opportunity to go out where you are able to go. You are living the life!!
The silver heart could make a great gift for your lovely wife with some help. Glad you had a great day. Your videos are always interesting. Take care. 😀
Spent APR.4 thru May 6 in the hospital, for brain bleed ,Surgery, Seizures Very thankful to God to be still here , Very good Finds ,in such a short period of time. Say Hello to Eddie hope He's doing OK, Later Brad
Complete set of cufflinks cool. Mass of buttons. Shoe buckle pieces. That silver brooch was awesome. Nice comb piece. Nice Conn. copper. Your theory of where to search paid off.
That silver heart is just precious. I am in Western Canada - it was 30 C (90F) at the beginning of the week, freezing rain and snow today. Enjoy your videos - keep up the great work!
What a great day you day. Once surprise after another. It makes you wonder what you might have missed other days at other places. Love the Connecticut Copper and the brooch.
Awesome! When I was younger my family lived on the side of a mountain in Sandgate/Rupert VT. I’m now planted on Cape Cod. I wish I was into metal detecting in my preteens haha! Would love to go back after watching your videos. I still have friends that own acres and acres! Great job again that broach and what a killer CT copper too, on my bucket list still!
You are very fortunate to have so many great old places to hunt...what a blessing and thanks for sharing your adventure with us Brad! Mike in warm sunny Florida
I have always known you have psydar Brad!!! You find just too many little important relics...then you turn around and find tha other piece or half or pair!!!! You are so gifted!!! Loved this video....😊🌟♥️🌟😊
Thank you for another good video. Glad your day of treasure hunting was productive. The Scottish brooch with the two hearts was my favourite because the photos you put of other brooches only had one heart. Keep up the good work.
Great finds! Especially the brooch. Always an opportunity to learn when a spot produces on return visit. At least it was you who found fhe leftovers lol
Wonderful things! (to quote a certain famous archaeologist.) That brooch was an amazing find; it sent me off to read about them, and I remember seeing that sort of crown-and heart(s) design among medieval pewter pilgrim badges-- it wouldn't surprise me if it went back even further than the 1600s. So many beautiful little things today; that flowered button was just gorgeous, and I'll bet whoever lost it regretted the loss something fierce. Thanks for the video, and I hope you didn't get too soaked heading home!
I have been digging & sifting this spot since 2016. Last Wed. I found a Kakakaua era Royal Hawaiian brass button, erect shank & all. A porcelain marble and a WRACO .44 cartridge casing centerfire rimmed. A pistol or carbine? The button back "Josh Starkey 32 Conduit St. London. I finally found one, and it's good, a Kingdom era button. The Hawaiian Monarchy had a thing for Victorian Britain, and trying for their own empire "Primacy in the Pacific" that directly led to their overthrow in Jan. 1893, and U.S. annexation in 1898. The U.S. Territorial government was set up in 1900.
Brad,you have enormous appeal to everyOne.Your vids are precise,info filled,your THE HOST My friend. Tip of the Hat from Central TEXAS..As usual great finds.
Wow those cuff links are stunning! Unlike a lot of your finds, where local people lost useful wares, anybody who lost one of those (and had the luxury to go fox hunting) could afford to replace them.
While internet sources do not quite agree on the date, Sheffield plate fused sheets of silver to the top and bottom of copper or base metal. This process was discovered about 1742 by Thomas Boulsover of Sheffield. Modern electroplate was invented by an Italian, Luigi V. Brugnatelli, in 1805. So it has been around awhile in some form or another.
Bro what an amazing day!!! Ican't wait to get on sites where I can make some documentary style episodes too. Love your vids Happy Hunting and best of luck out there.
Awesome work today. Nice to see the wx improving. Our winters here in the South are more conducive for hiking than summer. Your summers look outstanding.
Excellent day out 😃 The silver brooch, a Connecticut copper, shoe buckle pieces, buttons and the various other awesome relics!! I would love a site like that one to hunt!! Have a wonderful weekend Brad ☺
I'm absolutely Thrilled for you, Brad. Perseverance pays off once again. Please do an update on the identification of the coin and any more history on the rest of your treasures? Would you consider acquiring a hard hat and at least a kevlar vest for windy days in those forests? That way if a widow-maker comes down, your head is protected and the sharp edges of one can't penetrate your chest or back? Please think about this, for your loved ones, yourself and the zillions of us viewers that couldn't imagine metal detecting without you in it.
Green mountain video and a cup of coffee. A GREAT way to start the day!
I agree!
Beautiful Luckenbooth heart! I have found only two during my years of relic hunting here in the sandhills of North Carolina. This area was a big area for Scottish settlers.

It's refreshing to see a video, on metal detecting, without a bunch of drama. Also, your video quality is outstanding.

Excellent day out 😃 The silver brooch, a Connecticut copper, shoe buckle pieces, buttons and the various other awesome relics!! I would love a site like that one to hunt!! Have a wonderful weekend Brad ☺
Combined with the Broach, the flowers on your button look to be Bluebells of Scotland... and maybe Snow Drops.
Your videos are so awesome. Thanks for another week's soul food.
I'm absolutely Thrilled for you, Brad. Perseverance pays off once again.
Please do an update on the identification of the coin and any more history on the rest of your treasures?
