- On this February adventure I explore a family property with a history I hadn't ever considered before and found some great old treasures!

I personally think this is one of the best episodes of GMMD i've seen in a long time. I've been a pretty faithful follower for the last 2 years or so. I love the music in this episode, and these are some of my favorite songs. I really enjoy and love the stories, cinematography, adventures, and love the little bit you did on "what happens to your finds".
Yep, Brad does a nice job in the production dept. I have a hearing problem and I appreciate, Brad always turns the music down while talking! I like Westworld, But the music is always way too loud! THANKS, Brad!!!
Thanks so much, Jacob!
The music,nature shots and narrative is off the charts.
Thank you, Mary!
I just feel the stress and anxiety melt away when I watch your videos. The lovely nature views, soft unobtrusive music, and your soft-spoken, calm voice and personality are so refreshing. Thank you!
I Agree. I Love this and the family scenes with Bently and Mom are a great addition.
I know.. unreal.love him...
I know when I was actively hunting Arrowheads and other stone Artifacts, the main rush for me was the knowledge that I was the first human hand to touch my find since the guy that lost It. I can imagine metal defecting is much the same! Great video! Thanks for taking us with!!!
As I'm sure you discovered, Sousa refers to John Philip Sousa, composer of The Stars and Stripes Forever and many other marches. He's also where the name "sousaphone" comes from. :)
Just what I was thinking! JJ
Yes, was thinking the same. See below:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Philip_Sousa
The March King!
Having motorcycled through VT for decades and seen some wonderful places and people you do represent what the people of VT are really like . Warm , honest and giving . Thanks for all the work you put into this channel !
Always a joy to trek into Vermont with you, Brad. I can't understand why anyone in their right mind would give this a thumbs down!!! Nothing could be further from the truth!!
love your philosophy Brad. Giving the finds to property owners, historic societies, etc. Most all of my finds at this point go to others. After 38 years of detecting, I detect to share.
It's all worth it, just being there, and enjoying the outdoors.
As an old lady who has played and collected Harmonicas since I was 12 years old, I love seeing old pieces of them found and saved. I also love the nature shots you put into the videos. Thank you for the gentle entertainment!
The fact that you have 73 thousand plus subscribers is evidence of a great format.
All the times you show the woods it makes me feel like I am in the woods with you. You look at the same things I look for when I am there. Like the little ice falls so cool. Thanks so much for what you do
First, I'm always amazed at the many unique and beautiful fungi you photograph. Even in the cold! second I loved all your finds, it's early so I'll hold off too many comments. I hope you get to keep the one item to add to your collection on the wall! Wonderful day! Your devoted fan! 😊 Loved the opening, the music!
What I love about this video/post is the lack of a loud music intro and the serene quiet of it all. Not to mention that it seems your a good guy with a sense of morals and the importance of what these items may mean to the ancestors of the land. Thanks.
The valve looks like an old gas valve. Thanks for these videos. During the lock down entertainment is at a premium. Keep it up.
its amazing to me that there is property in families for that long.
gas fitting, they were decorative in t \he early piped gas lighting days and also the same with free standing heat radiator parts, brass and fancy.
I absolutely love watching your videos & I love your passion for history. When I detect, I always wonder what was going on in that spot 100+ years ago. I wonder the same things about how valuable some things were & whether the owner searched for them unsuccessfully. I study old maps & try to find out as much as possible about the specific area going all the way back to when it was settled. It's such a fun hobby. Like you, I love being out in the woods enjoying nature & all it has to offer. As a Forester, I spent most of my days out in the woods until a couple years ago when i became completely debilitated by chronic neurological Lyme disease. Taking up metal detecting has been an absolute godsend for me as I was about to lose my sanity not being able to do all the things I once did. 😥 I am so lucky to be able to escape to the woods with my metal detector for short periods of time on my good days - it's amazing how wonderful it is for my mental wellbeing!!!! Keep up the great work, I love watching your videos. You are such a great guy with a kind heart!!!
The ladies watch reminds me of a pendant watch, where it was worn as jewelry more so than as a time keeping device. Cool find.
My Mom wore one.
Ground scores! Treasure or trash, it's always an adventure!
Thanks for taking us along
Living here in North Eastern Vermont is a Blessing. The winters are long and strange especially over the last ten years. The beauty of the mountains is breath taking not to mention the streams and wildlife. Where I live there are many areas to explore and many open places. This time of year in the woods we have to be careful of the bears. The ground is getting soft from the thaw and dumping and metal detecting is right around the corner. Really enjoyed the video but more so the beauty of our state.
Thanks for sharing another great adventure, helps nowadays more than ever.
If some day one of those landowners don't mind being on film, it would be nice to see when you show them the finds. See their reaction and maybe get some speculations or stories from them, that adds to your adventure. Or bring Eddie out more, he is good at speculating :D
Brad, You are the man. I hope the landowners love ya as much as the viewers of your videos do. JJ
2 Thumbs UP!!
I see your video from Rome Italy, i have the same feeling for metaldecting, is fashinating find lost items, imagine people who lost them........ very beatiful video❤️
Have you found any ancient coins there in Italy?
In Italy metal detecting is not a common hobby, cause the most part of country is under archeogical restricted laws. There is a prison for that. I love detecting old farms and we have so many artistics artifact that in Sardinian sea, this summer I have found a decorated spanish pottery dated 1500 during having a simple bath in the sea!
Or walking around my house, in a new part of Rome, I found part of anciant roman giara
Anna have you ever tried working with the archeologist to let you use a metal detector when they are out on a historic site?
Hope you keep finding more awesome finds, the ones I can only dream of finding, good luck!
I've been watching your explorations for about about a year, now, and vicariously live through you, especially during this COVID-19 quarantine. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
Would say that watch was a woman's lapel watch. Those coins came out of the ground really nice.
Brad...love you hun....from Maine..I'm a 59 year old cellar digger..I lived for two years in North Shrewsbury Vermont..right on edge of Plimsburry National Forest..just south of Rutland... History was unreal...we had Hauntings..our Civil war buddy lived with us..we had fun with him...
Such talent and intelligence...
Yeah, Brad is back metal detecting. Thank you so much. So are you out now putting some more new episodes in the can? I hope so. I'm 64 and I can't remember when I respected and admired another young man such as yourself. You are few and far between these days. You also have a couple of friends like the one that built his own house. You should run for governor of Vermont. Think of all the state lands you'd have access to.👍God bless!
I have loved your channel for several years. Your imagination is wonderful. I enjoy your pondering of the past and all of your gorgeous nature shots. Thank you for all you give us. ❤❤
Nice job Brad!!! Good to see you out and about again!!
Love your videos and my joy on Friday. Sousa was one of the most prolific American composers and was called the March king. His music is played all over the world and I’m sure you’ve heard many of his pieces but didn’t know it. His last name is pronounced Su-za. Great find. Stay safe and healthy
Great video Brad! I love your philosophy of metal detecting! I share the same sentiment that everything belongs to the land owner and that I am there for the enjoyment of the discovery!
The pinpointer holster that you made works great!
Being 61 and collecting coins since i was 5 I just couldn't go thru all that work and give them up....everything else would be cool to find and Landowner could have them or I would donate to the historical society ...Hats off to you for you are better man than I Gunda Din
Another great video and hunt, buddy. Hope to see you soon. Stay healthy.
Land in the same family for so many years. Cool finds.
i so love the music in all your videos just going through haunting, sad, interesting the coins and all the stuff and struggles of early
Americans.
Always look forward to your adventures 🤘🏻 stoked to watch this as I can’t sleep and have been browsing CZcams all night lol
Thanks for yet another trip back in time! You were right about the brass piece being a "valve" it is the main part of what is commonly known as a petcock. They were/are used primarily as vents or drains in various high pressure machines especially steam vessels.
This is LeeAnn. I love watching you. I just started metal detecting. I would love to find cool stuff like you. My first one i was excited to find nails and gun shells. Lol god bless
Am I the only one who feels the thrill of excitement here? Living vicariously on these awesome hunts!
Thank you for the effort you take to make these beautiful videos for all of us! ♡ This is food for the soul.
That harp cover is probably named after John Phillip Sousa and am American composer know as the march king. That brass item is most certainly a valve missing the guts.I'm wondering if the valve is part of a gravity oilier since there are only pipe threads on one end.
Really fantastic production value. The Green Mountains are God's country. Great stuff!
Thanks Brad, Ever thought about letting us see a reveal of items to the landowner? At least a snippet.
I agree
I "3rd" the motion😉😉, a few moments with their reactions and possible added background may be a nice wrap up on many of these presentations imho👍👍
The mystery item is a drain petcock. Date from 1870s thru 1920s. Could be older if it had a design.
It could also be a bed piece . As in australia here we have bed end which are brass bars upright an ench one between the corner ends has another brass rod goin corner throu a little brass piece the same as this find an on the top is a little decorative brass spear . The beds are late 1800's to recent
Yep petcock. I was going to guess a similar date timeline as well.
Definitely a peacock 100%. Very similar items were fitted to cars and motorcycles of teens and early 1920s.
Oh, Brad! Awesome coins! I hope you get too keep that big buckle!
Great finds! I like the flower clasp buckle
Those large cents coppers are in beautiful condition.
ADVICE....be very careful cleaning them off.
EXAMPLE....The 1803, in that condition, BUT a different “variety”, would have been worth about $25,000. One scratch from a thumb could literally wipe $10-$15k from it.
The 1834 seemed to have a bit of luster to it.....just beautiful, considering how long they’ve been there in the elements. Some coppers completely corrode beyond recognition. There are people who dream of finding ONE large cent, and you just found two in good condition. Wonderful pieces of history. Great job!
Great videos brother. I have respect for you. Your discussion about our hobby was right on point. I detect on long island Suffolk county. I client of mine let me detect his home in east setauket. I found a brass plate from the orginal dairy farm that was there. Then some old buttons from the ship yard that was there after that. I gave them to the owner and thanked him for the permission to hunt. He was surprised to find out what was there and very thankful. I know what your talking about and it feels great. Be well brother.
Another great video! Thank you!
Great Video and Awesome Finds Brad! I love the permissions you get in the woods... definitely my favorite type of detecting!
That’s awesome that you give back to the land owner. I’m new at metal detecting, and it’s funny cause I’ve thought the same if I got permission to dig on someone’s property. Great video and really enjoyed watching.
Watched your blog this morning and should have left a comment. Love what you do. Like what you share with your family and all the hard work you put in to do this. I’m sure all your viewers feel the same way. Not to be weird but you look like my son. Thank you so much. Love the music. It soothes the soul.
Thank you so much!

Thank you for the adventure ! You had some nice finds !
good Finds! Yeah, personal items are there amongst that stuff, and the other stuff is still good!
Thank you for answering that question. I’ve asked before, and maybe missed the answer( hopefully not the video) Would you ever be interested in showing how you display the artifacts you’ve been fortunate to bring home?
The production and quality of your videos is above and beyond. Thank you
That's a great outlook
Hay Brad! Great day for sure. Can't wait for new videos from yall. Keep on keeping on!
Thanks! You too!
Your composition of images and music is mesmerizing. Great work.
Good morning Brad !! Great video as always with some great finds. You and the family stay safe.
WONDERFUL story and sweet finds
Great video I can see you love what you do can’t wait for the next one!!!
I find your methods of sleuthing very valuable, especially in an area that’s been hunted in the past your finds of the day we’re definitely fantastic digging up a couple of coins.
I’ve taken up this hobby and have been venturing on my property and a few neighbors that I border all in all a good 90 acres combined. It’s a great opportunity to learn how to use my detector I’m not finding the lost Dutchman, but the odds and ends are cool the history in my area is amazing.
Brad, I believe what you have there is a valve body for a mounted gas lamp. Love your posts!☺
Wow, Awesome finds. Great video as always. Loved your first adventure and all you do!! Such an inspiration 😁💜
The wonder is the mystery of the history. Awesome as usual.
Fantastic looking batwing buckle, I love how one of the keepers was still intact. Beautiful Matron Head cent too.
great to see you back in the woods, hope your family is well,thanks brad
Loved watching this!
Another great episode in beautiful surroundings and well done on the great finds 👍
That was a good day! Thanks for sharing it.
Awesome video Brad. Please keep them coming!
Jeff
Man, your videos are a breath of fresh air. Nice finds. Amazing how much detail still on those coins. Thank you!
Much appreciated!
The small pocket watch could be from a lady that wore it on her dress.
I see this was a year ago. Same as you, I always enjoyed getting permission to hunt historic old property's. I always gave the land owner whatever I found. As you stated, its history, that makes it more important than value. Generally, land owners never had that much money to lose. Mostly it was barter services. I always found my coins in town parks.
Fantastic hunt Brad! Coppers are beautiful. My favorite is the pocket watch piece. Thanks for entertaining us all during a very difficult time
Nice finds time travelling Brad!...
Always enjoy your videos. The natural beauty is as great as the finds. And then there’s the fantastic editing! You always bring a super completed package!
Nice finds! I'm sure the property owners will be impressed! You are very talented at making these videos! Without a doubt the best recordings I've seen on the tube. TFS Hugs!
Very interesting finds, Brad! I know the landowners were pleased with what you found. Another beautiful hunt in a gorgeous area! Take care!😊💖
As a kid, my grandad and my mom played harmonica. I was good for a few songs, but not my fav instrument. Luckily, the also played guitar. It makes a lot of sense getting married in winter. Nice tidbit to know.
I love watching your videos. I don't metal detect, but I enjoy listening to your informations about your findings. But the most I love is watching your videos. I do a bit of amateur photography, would really enjoy have a walk there with my camera..
I appreciate that!
I love the extra info on target values and your guesses on what they might be. Helpful info for those of us who are new to metal detecting.
Enjoyed seeing the relics and coins being found after all that time. That small pocket watch piece and buckles were very nice finds. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
As usual a great video. Looking forward to more. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching!
Good hunt, always enjoy the video and the story that goes with them.
It always draws my attention, "when I see green in the snow". 2nd find looks like it is part of a lampshade fixture.
Another great video. Thanks.
Great episode, Very admirable how you handle all of your findings. Great work!
That double-wick style lamp burner was common on whale oil lamps. There would have been two hollow metal tubes protruding up from the holes that held the wicks. Very cool!
Thanks Brad....nice finds there...probably more you might want to go back there some day when the weather is warmer...? =)
That unidentified brass thingy could be off many things but my 1st thought was a part from an old drip oiler that belonged to either an old steam engine or a hit and miss motor which were used in all kinds of farm uses including tractors, water pumps etc as I have found a couple of old oilers in the past. Awesome hunt mate :))
That's an awesome find for today Brad and maybe they'll let you go back later in the year. I can't hardly wait until Friday comes around just to watch you go to these special places. Oh the more you bond to your kitten the better cat he will turn out to be.
Nice finds and great storytelling! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Nice finds. Not bad for your first 2020 dig. Stay safe have a good weekend.
I love watching you. I learn so much history and the fact that you truly enjoy what you do. It’s not about the high value of something, it about wondering about the person using it, etc. keep up the great work. I also enjoy your family videos.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome finds!!!
Wow.serenity.
