The sliding bar indicator is great.
Came here to say this! It's very nifty!
I like the sliding bar indicator too!
I agree delores!
I love the little bar you put on top of the screen that shows what metal you're finding!
that bar is cool! Makes it extra exciting!
Yes it is amazing. WOW wow wow
Yes I really like that bar across the top too!!! Very nice touch!
Congratulations to Vern on his beginner’s luck! What a find! 👍🏼
*My man, Dread Pirate Vern!*
Betty Grimes here. I'm 81 and I have watched your show from the beginning. Enjoy your searches and discovery.
Congratulations
That 8 Reales is where the term pieces of eight came from as it was commonly divided into 8 pieces, also leading to the term 2 bits for 1 quarter of the dollar. Fantastic find. Very well worth the watch.
Interesting, thanks
I always thought that pieces of eight coins were Spanish coins made of Gold. This coin was a silver dollar made here in the US. You might want to Google it for more info.
@@davidkohler7454 That is the difference between fact and fiction. In pirate novels this may have been the case, but in reality before America was allowed to mint money, they used Spanish silver dollars which were divided into quarters, halves and eighths.
@@WizzardofOdds And they certainly weren't made in the US.
This is also why a "bit" was used as the name for computer 0/1's, because that was 1/8 of a register. That is, each memory address contained 8 of them to create a number from 0 to 255. They were named after the "bits" which were 1/8 of a coin.
Coffee and GMMD on Friday morning no better way to get started. Congrats to Vern for a beautiful coin and definitely a bucket list that is definitely a great memory to cherish. Brad, some great old copper. Great day of hunting, guys. Thanks for showing and sharing.
Nice find, i’ve only found one myself. More of an iron/artillery guy myself these days but Spanish silver is always a nice surprise, keep atter it.
i can not wait for your next adventure i am 75 years old and your excitement excites me keep finding treasures
I love how well the silver coins survive in the ground. 230years old and beautiful! Finding those coins must be such a wicked feeling.
Yup. Almost too well. Without a spot of any Vermont patina. Squeaky clean in fact. Almost like it was lost ten minutes ago.
Almost
@@factorybear5264 Very suspect...
Patina on silver? You mean copper?
I'm at home recovering from an operation. It is very comforting to hear your music and be able to watch your adventures. Keep up the good work.
@clarkabrpi3428, Being conscious that I was still breathing air was very comforting when I woke up. I hope you're feeling better.
What a site! Vern, I wish you luck just like this every time you hunt. Great upload, Brad!
Magic, as always. Love the bar too btw. :)
Incredible find! Wow
Not only did he find an 8 Reale, it's in beautiful shape! What a find. It was exciting to watch on video, I can imagine what it was like live there in the field. No matter what, you never know what you're going to find when you go out.
Wow, great work guys!!!!!
The new graphics are great!!! Love your channel and the original music!! Thanks!
As a Vermonter I love seeing these guys all jacked up on joy
Friday Morning coffee with Brad and friend ❤
WOW!! I LOVE the sliding bar at the top of my screen!!!
Love your new intro song! What an amazing find
Oh, and it was so beautiful!!
Congratulations, Vern!
I like your new addition of the metal detector meter on the screen top . Great idea. Very cool 😎
Congrats to Vern What a Beautiful find!
AMAZING find! Gave me chills because that’s a true bucket lister for any of us detectorists!
WOW sweet find got my 8 on the beach a few years back 1794 congrats Vern
1794 is quite a few years back, as a matter of fact.
Awesome hunt gentlemen.
I love Fridays for this reason 👌👍🍻
Looking good Vern! 👌
I still cannot get over the 8 reale- Holy Cow, what a find!!!
Fun stuff fellas!
What an amazing find!! The soil there must be special as well, the coin is barely tarnished!!
I'm no expert on the matter, but I think silver coins are almost pure silver, so they don't or barely tarnish. I think these type of coins only wear from usage.
@@Auxius. You’re right. According to The Scottish Detectorist silver finds of any kind come out of the ground just about the same shape as they were when they first went in, due to exactly what you said. Silver and gold do not decay in the ground.
Modern coins in gravel can sometimes mean snow was once dumped there. As always, great video Brad.
Wow!!! Congratulations on the 8 real!!! Very nice finds!!! I can't wait for you to go back!!!! God Bless Us All!!!
That little bar you added at the top showing the tone was a great addition. Nice idea and execution.
The sliding bar made the light bulb in my head go off! Finally I understand what the beeps and levels mean! Lol!
I’m so envious of your location. I have seen many of your videos where you found relics and coins dating back before America began.
The best I can find in Wyoming will date back to the 1850s.
Love your programs, I look forward each week to watch your adventures.
What area of Wyoming are you in? I'm in Lincoln County. Very little to find here.
Same thing here in Kansas ! I got into collecting old coins from finding a 1877 Seated Liberty Dime on my great grandfather's homestead here in Kansas ! Back when I was very young !
You had a 'real' good time!
Wow 😮 what a find 🎉
Absolutely amazing finds!!
Wow!!! Great finds! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations!! Thanks for taking us with you!
Amazing day for you both. Great finds all around.
Sweet find!!
Good times you two!
Ty 4 taking me along!
Confidence in the coinage was as important as the intrinsic value of the coin, that is why many countries would replicate the effigies of Roman coinage.
Vern, congrats! Thanks for letting Brad take us along, what an amazing find. Wow!
Nice finds as always. Congratulations to Vern for sure. Thanks for sharing!!!
Brad! How exciting!! Congrats to you both on the awesome finds! 8 real - incredible!
