Hey Folks! Here's the first trip to this location: czcams.com/video/SGV8DWo-Lj8/video.html
For daily and up-to-date posts, I invite you to join the Green Mountain community outside of CZcams! If you’re a Facebook user, stop on by Facebook.com/GreenMountainMetalDetecting and for Instagram users you can find me @Green.Mountain.Metal.Detecting. Hope you enjoy today's video!
Really enjoy all your stuff Brad! I know you've had the at pro in the past did you ever use the 5x8 coil?
Enjoy your knowledge on the artifacts, very well done & have watched for over a year!!! Will stay with you!
I have to wonder if that hatched head was made by someone's dad ? I just see a son walking behind his dad with that little axe over his shoulder lol and i'd guess a custom made handle is all it ever had before.
Hey Brad, I heard the tiny hatchet was called a 'finishing hatchet' and that it was used for finer work. There'd have been a tiny mallet with it. Cheers & HH
I had the privilege of detecting around a slave cabin in SC a year an a half ago. One of the items I found was an axe head about the same size as yours. When I showed it to the land owner he called it a youth axe and said it was used by the wife or a young person of the family to split kindling for the woodstove. Thanks for producing these videos I always enjoy your hunts.
You have frogs that freeze solid in the ice. Here in Arizona, we have frogs that go to sleep during the hot months, when the mud dries out and turns solid around them. When the Summer rains come, the frog wakes up and digs his way out of the mud! Amazing creatures!
Fresh hot coffee in my cup, GMMD video on my tablet, thunderstorm raining on my back porch, Friday morning is starting out fantastic!! Thanks for taking us with you!!
My friend you have inspired me I bought me a metal detector yesterday my search begins Saturday
Danny,
I think you will really enjoy your new hobby. Good luck. Walt
Danny,
One additional item. Look up the Treasure Net website (free), it has thousands of members who are very helpful in answering any questions you may have. Walt
good luck man👍💍
To inspire others is the greatest thing one can do....to fill others with passion is the greatest compliment one can get.
Nice to hear the spring peepers! It isn’t spring until we hear them sing.
YOU WERE SO STOKED WITH YOUR AXE HEAD, I FEEL THRILLED FOR YOU,
GOOD ON YAH BRAD.
👋💜 CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
Thank you for your videos. My mom was from Bennington, VT / Hoosick Falls NY area and she passed in 2005. When I watch your videos it reminds me of her and the times I spent up there growing up. Much appreciated. Music is spot on too. Greetings from Nashville, Thank you again.
You are the man
Your a true metal detectorist Brad you still get excited with everything you find!
Not only do I like your metal detecting but your love for nature and photo work is outstanding.
I've no other interest in metal detecting at all but videos have me hooked.
I love the folk lore, history etc. Especially as I live in the uk.
Keep it up & thanks
Thanks for your vids. Even low-key ones like this are pleasant, interesting, informative. I always find a smile on my face when I see a new one has been posted. I know some quality, enjoyable content awaits me. When *you* get outside and get some fresh air, you also bring a lot of fresh air into the homes and minds of others around the world, so again, thank you. Give you joy of your teeny weeny hatchet, sir. Give you joy. :)7
Yaa waiting for my lazy babes to wake up. This good way to pass time. Lets see what ya find 🤘
I'm with you with the excitement of finding that little ax head; Littlest one I've seen dug outta the dirt so far! I'm very glad that the landowner allowed you to keep it 😃 Thanks to your explanation, I now understand why everyone finds so many buttons 👍 I am perplexed at why everyone always finds so many horse tack buckles, in still usable condition 🤔 Love the the token finds that everyone in our hobby makes, as you had said, they tend to be regional for those found. Thank you for your Friday morning wake-up videos; my day starts it very nicely this way 😊☕ Have a wonderful weekend Brad and family!!
Another great video. Can't wait to see the finished mini hatchet.
The best part of your videos is the way you talk about each item and the history behind them. Makes me feel like I'm out detecting with you. Great job.
Ron and I so look forward to Friday’s and your videos!!
A completely intact hatchet head! Very cool find and I can’t wait to see it all cleaned up with a handle on it. Thanks for the stroll through the woods.
Brad... like ve you my dear heart..58 years old here in Ocean Park Maine...Grew up in Lyman..Where 47 fires burned out ancient farms...I so enjoy you intellectual ability to share with us. .xxxxoooto your lovely family...
Thanks Brad..! Quite the journey back in time to discover relics from the early years, dropped, broken or misplaced... Tiny hatchet head, the chicken butcher.... good finds that tell stories of the rough times back then and how many survived when some didn't. No Hospitals or Doctors, no supermarkets, or drug stores....! =)
It's not about the treasure, it's about the adventure.
You make me want to get out more into our Green Mountains ⛰
Well Brad it's good to see you metal detecting again looking forward to seeing your videos
The shape and grind of the razor is called " hollow grind or ground" Watching these videos is a great release from all this insanity we're under right now. Thanks
Hi Brad, you found some pretty cool artifacts of a bygone age, I really love that little hatchet head though that's a neat find. Stay safe and well, much love to you and your family. xx💖
Hope you show us that baby hatchet restored. Great adventure as always. ❤
The best detecting videos on CZcams. Also love how you explain some of your finds and often verify with pictures. Keep up the great content, I see great things for your channel.
Great finds and cool commentary~! I, too, give iron finds more 'respect'. The time it takes to manufacture, to find, to clean and preserve shows patience and dedication.
My family is from Vermont (mostly Burlington). I lived there for a time with my beloved Aunt Mae and my three cousins when I was in grade school . Uncle Andy was a fighter pilot and he was away, probably Korea. Cousin Drew was exactly my age and we had the exact same personalities and pretty similar appearance. I thought of him as my soul cousin. I loved hm dearly but he died too soon of cancer. Anyway, on to the point of this story...
Brad reminds me of Drew and the entire vibe of this series resonates with me as the spirit of Vermont, a very special place. Thanks for all you do Brad. My wife and I are thinking of retiring to Vermont (we're in Oregon) and we'll look you up if we get there.
Brad- love the video updates! I myself am in hinesburg, VT. So it’s neat to have such a close connection to the content you put out. Researching myself properties in the chittenden/Addison/lamoille county areas. Thanks for the entertainment
I always enjoy your explanation of the artifacts that you find. 👍
Love the axe head and old buttons are always amazing! Great finds, Brad, beautiful videography as always!😊💖
I understand your love of detecting in the mountains. I detect in the Adirondack high peaks and I can look across the valley and see the Green Mountains from there.
Some of the old Logging camps and hunting lodges from back in the day yield a lot of good stuff! Of course it's on private where people have congregated by living there and spending a lot of hours there. I found many many cool artifacts in the mountains more than I ever dreamed I would!
Hi, Brad! There is a product named Kopertox used by horsemen to treat fungal infections (called thrush) on the soles of horse's hooves. Main ingredient is copper naphthenate. It is a very beautiful green, as you would expect, and an irritant to skin. And it stains EVERYTHING! LOL Loved the horse hame! Thank you for the journey back in time!
Your a very thoughtful person Brad.
Morning Brad, another great vlog! Like the bit more story telling in this one. I wonder if the small hatchet head could have been a kid's toy. Looking forward to next week.
That ax head looks like a broken in half double bit ax. I like the straight razor & button with design. That lock is a very odd shape. Nice bunch of relic finds. HH
Hey Brad, I enjoyed the video with my coffee. The small hatchet is most likely a hoof cleaner. These were often carried along on a horse drawn sled or wagon to knock out impacted snow from horse hooves. The snow packs within the shoe and under the hoof preventing grip and becoming painful at times. The iron piece unidentified looks like the end of a harness tug strap. The strap runs from the collar and hames down the side of the horse. Then connects to a chain, an evener and then the load. The load could be just a log or a wagon, sled or even a log arch.
I have a friend that is a fifth generation farmer who has an axe identical to the you found and he said it was used to butcher chickens (cut their heads off)
Incredible finds.
Cool I wondered if it might have been sharpened too many times.
My grandmother had a small axe like this one that she kept in the tree stump that she used to butcher chickens for dinner. Yum. Fried chicken and home made pies.
probably had multiple uses including choping the heads off chickens , and splitting kindling . Nice find
I think by 1919 the Spanish Flu was thought to pretty much have run its course. Along with the young man you mentioned it took my grandfather early in the same year in the very isolated hills of Piscataquis County, Maine. My grandmother was left with three young boys, the oldest ten years old, my father. That virus is said to have been quick and deadly to the young and outwardly healthy.
Interesting finds and well done videos. You are a class act, Brad.
I live in northern British Columbia Canada and am always taken back by how familiar the flora and fonna is to our boriel forests here in the north. Ive just started to explore with my metal detecting and love it. I totally enjoy all of your videos Brad please keep them coming.
Love your videos. They are just so relaxing lol
Thank you for the adventure and some sweet finds ! Take care , stay safe and healthy there in Vermont ! Still doing well here in Kansas !
Thankyou for the video.Always appreciated and entertaining.
Just wanted to say how much I like your videos you add the History with it

Another wonderful video. Thank you.
Thanks for the great video Brad!
Thank you for the beautiful videos!

Historically informative as usual. Thanks for sharing your hunts.

Very encouraging as always.

Love the axe head! Always enjoy you trips to the woods!
Enjoy your videos so much!
Love hearing the critters. Thx.
Love the straight shaver . Cool find! Cool relic. As always the best vids.
I have written this before and I will again. I am so impressed by the production of your videos, they seem to have everything. An awesome (and short/simple) intro with a great logo, great music, amazing scenery, slow motion shots, drone shots, P.O.V. shots, tracking and traveling shots, calming dialog (not screaming and loud)... your videos have a sense of professionalism that is hard to find on CZcams. Even though you are digging through mud and finding old rusty and broken items, I watch every part of every video to see what is next....well done sir.
Oh Brad...love your adventures!!!
I love your videos. The mountains of Vermont are so beautiful.
Sweet digs as usual👍👍
VT just keeps providing! Thanks B!!!
Very interesting 👌 thanks brother 🙏
I love watching you at work and all the knowledge of the things you find. You are a historian in your own right, a teacher if you will. Great stuff, very insightful of the every day tools that we're need just to eat, sleep and just living. Big fan.
I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago and I am hooked! Thank you for making these videos. I've learned alot by watching and its helped curb the boredom during this pandemic. Thanks again!!🙂
I really like watching this guy.
You do a great job Brad love watching your videos. Thankyou. Love how you have displayed ykur finds on natures carpet it looks good.
Thank you for keeping us entertained.. I loved hanging out in the woods growing up but I never heard of metal detectors back then.
Glad to see another adventure. Miss your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Nice find. I love finding old tools. I hav an old swedish ax head circa 1860s. 👍
So glad you got out today! Took us with you! Can't wait to see the hatchet redone. Thank you for another window into your world.
Nice video, Brad. Thanks for posting it! JJ
Brad Nice little axe head and some great finds the frog's were saying Knee Deep and Deeper!!!; ) tell your Boy he'll get a jump out it!!!; )
I love your brief thoughtful interludes in the middle of your videos where you throw in your insightful thought or opinion or historical bit of relevance always at the perfect moment. Bravo my friend. Your videos are always simple but are a delightful mix of thought provocation, ear candy, and visual delight. Thank you.
Could the hatchet head have been for a child? Chore expectations for kids were much higher than today. Loved the intro music!
Cool hunt, sweet ax head
Favourite youtube channel....... excellent
Great finds there! I really liked the straight razor and axe head, very cool!
Ok, true fan here... not only of your super-cool historic finds... I now know you create your own music which is played in the background on your videos... now don’t go getting a big head or anything, but, your background music........ I could listen to, all... day..... long......... Just beautiful, smooth, energetic, tunes... I wish I could say to my Amazon Alexa “play that type of music all day” but it won’t recognize that because your music is so unique...... Just thought I would let you know... Have a good one! 😊👍
I love digging metal. I find some really cool relics.
So glad to see you OutNAbout again! BTW The Drone perspective is a really wonderful addition to your very satisfying video work!! Kudos!
You do such an awesome job of telling the story of the people of the past and show the beautiful scenery of the area so well! Tfs!
Another beautiful video and beautiful pad lock!
Great videos, just found you. Dialogue and editing are awesome. I watch your kind of product in the evenings after dinner. Keep it up.
Another great video. I know I’m not the only one that gets bummed when your video drops. See you next week. Stay safe out there.
Nice job Brad!!!!!
Nothing better than ride your four Wheeler and Metal Tec in the same day very cool hatchet head love your vid
I love your videos, they are so relaxing yet exciting as well. Your commentary is so interesting and I feel like we would be friends! Lol. Thank you for the backstories and history lessons, I learn so much.
Great videos 👍
You do have the neatest finds! This is a really cool site. I have to go back now to watch the first on this site, very intrigued by the horse seal. Glad you are out watching the woods wake up this spring.
Glad you are back and detecting. It's been a long cold lonely winter
So good to tramp the woods with you again! Interesting finds. Thanks for sharing.
Stay well!
As usual, a fantastic video Brad. The axe head was tiny. Stay safe, from Melbourne, Australia.
Great vid !
What a beautiful place! How lucky you are to live there! Love the little hatchet head! TFS Hugs!
