Hey Folks! 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!
That would be a great vid idea! Do a vid with just finding deer antlers.
I’m a huge hunter, and that type of activity is so fun
The workings of a shoe buckle? Very different from the buckles we are used to. When I saw that almost complete one you found, I wondered how they worked. Of course, CZcams has a demo video. Enjoy your presentation.
You should be on a network your video quality is awesome and your storytelling and knowledge of our countries history is amazing
Any Big Foot encounters?
The long shaft I used to tighten the Flint jaws
First, the small hammer is similar to a tool I use on my flintlock. I am a flintknapper, and I make gunflints. The hammer would be used for resharpening a gunflint. Second, the musket part is called a ramrod tailpipe because the tail of the ramrod goes into the pipe. I referenced several books I have on 1700's muskets, and the only tailpipes that were many-sided, not round, were German made. Third, are you measuring the diameter of the musket balls? The diameter will tell a lot about age. Almost all muskets of the 1700's were greater than .50 caliber. British military guns were .75, French .69, and most hunting guns, called fowlers, were .55 up to .78.
Flint knapping is the world's most frustrating hobby! I'm convinced also the origin of swear words😎
Wow, that's so interesting, thanks for your insight. When I saw it, I said to myself, "That looks like a little hammer"! It's cool that it really was!
Also caliber .32 and .36 we're actually around at that time and used in that geographic area well up into the late 1800s... I don't think that little hammer looking lead scrap was for flint knapping. I've been shooting blackpowder, both flintlock and cap&ball for over 50 year's. Never seen or heard of anyone successfully flint knapping with lead... you're the only person I've heard that from.
Have a great day.
bobrinck1 I learn as much from posts like yours as do from watching Brad’s videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Was going to say that was a gunflint sharpener, but you have nailed it already ! LOL
Just the scenic nature makes Brad's videos worth watching.
This show is so well done. Love the history. Love the photography, Love the music. Your curiosity, personality and love of history are very enjoyable. Thanks nice production.
Thanks so much, Kathy!
Exactly
Here here!
And Kathy he is the man behind that wonderful music
@@michaeltroja315 Ya, I assumed so. So very talented.
I said it before and I’ll say it again!! You make the BEST metal detecting videos.❤️ From the plant life to the guitar music, you capture every moment in all of its glory💯 and always make me long to go for a walk in the Appalachian Mountains 🏔
Once again, I almost felt like I was there in the woods with you. You really have a talent for sharing the whole experience. Thanks!
The lead hammer looking nail are used for holding something like a drain pipe to a brick wall or between logs on a cabin. You nail it next to the pipe in the spaces between the logs or bricks then bend it around the pipe. It is soft metal so it contours to the space you nail it in so it can hold. Also soft to bend it around the pipe with out dislodging it. The twist on the long part gives it some ridgidness so not to bend when hammering it in.. that one you found has not been used yet. Really cool find. Especially as new never used. That also means there is a building near by. Also with a brick building they would have anticipated where the down spouts or plumbing pipes would go and the Mason would stick a piece of wood cut to the mortar width in those location. Then it would be pulled out later or a hard metel nail would just be nailed into the wood.. hope I helped .
Always fun watching you detect a forgotten location. Thanks for being so welcoming and taking us along.
I just love the music you play in your videos. Lots better than other metal detecting shows from other states.
Brad, your videos just keep getting better & better--everything about them: the videography, the fabulous original music, the rhythm & flow. Just SO ENJOYABLE!! Thank you so much for these experiences!!
Sally, I second that, every week. How can he keep topping himself!!!
Thank you, Sally!
Coffee and watching someone dig in the dirt is my favorite way to start a weekend mornin. Great Vid man
Iam doing the same
@@robertstdon9280 me too, but I've got fruit cake with my coffee.
@@rickmurray442 thats alright. Fruitcake is good .
First time to view one of your videos, Brad. Your description of the finds indicates that you are quite knowledgeable of the time period they were created. You also have an easy going manner in explaining your finds which makes it more enjoyable over others who have listed videos on their finds. Thank you and I hope to see more of them in the future.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, George!
You're such a great teacher, when that silver coin popped up, I said "that's a half real!" so proud of myself LOL
I'm laughing at myself now because I literally had never seen one before watching your channel. Great job, Brad. Thanks for the glimpse outdoors in amidst us all suffering from cabin fever this winter! I so appreciate you filming these and stockpiling them for our enjoyment all winter.
I said the same thing! LOL
Add me to the list! I now have the metal detecting bug. LOL
That half real was really something. Minted in Mexico City and found in the hills of Vermont. Quite a journey. If it could only talk!
The mini hammer/nail looking item reminds me of a small hammering device we used on a black powder rifle to separate the barrel from the stock. However ours were made of brass or harder metal. I am not sure what they would have looked like in the 1700’s. We call them wedge pin hammers.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Your story and finds are unbelievable. You are the best.
Uncovering history is amazing. Just imagining who wore the shoe buckle or wore the brooch or held the coins a couple of hundred years ago is the real story. Thanks for discovering ,what was of ordinary importance ,in times gone by.
Gr8 vid Brad.Ive recently contacted the local historian in my home town to start researching the early days of settlers there. It is so exciting ! Back in November i started detecting one of the first homes and found a pewter pea whistle belonging to a 1775 Rev. War officer! I'd like yo thank you for insperation to start the research end of my journey! GL and HH.
Hello from England UK . Great to see you finding your lost early historical items from the soil you certainly had some unusual finds there ! I liked the little boys toy hammer ..I can imagine his grandpa making it for his grandson and no doubt it was the little boys favourite toy ..watching his Dad or grandpa building something and joining in the fun ! Great job there and great video content. Regards A&S Dorset UK .PS we had gold and huge silver coin this week was a great day.
ABSOLUTELY THRILLED FOR WITH YOUR FINDS, BELOW THE GROUND, BUT LOVE PICS OF FUNGI WHATEVER ABOVE GROUND TOO.
HAPPY HUNTING.
CAMILLE AUSTRALIA.
I was thinking the lead hammer was part of the bell striking system on an old clock. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I always feel I am right there with you when you discover things in the ground
Those don't normally have claws. That looked like either a pin hammer or maybe a child's toy..
Another phenomenal video Brad. You need your own show on the history channel. Your knowledge and demeanor truly enhances your credibility. Thanks for sharing your experiences, the information you provide is priceless.
What awesome finds!!! You and Eddie should go back up there and really comb the area. We love your videos, the education of our history, your music, and all the wonderful landscape pictures. Thanks for all you do!! Ron and Sandy😁
Brad actually makes the music himself
Nice finds. Like that you take time to look at the nature around you.
Hey Brad I hate it when we have to roll the clock back an hour you know that when it happens that summer is over and cold dark days are ahead. Then when spring rolls around and we set the clock back forward it's time to start looking forward to the warm beautiful days ahead of us and the great hunting to come. I hibernate through the winter as much as I can. Lol.
Love your videos,the way you explain how,when,who,where,I'm learning a lot just watching your video, keep on the good work.
You would make a great history teacher to kids, you have my attention 100%
Your videos are poignant and uplifting and educational but still great fun. Thanks again Brad. Some truly incredible finds. Keep us posted about the bird band please.
Good morning Brad !!!! Some cool finds in todays video. I can't wait till Spring so you can get back out there and post more of my favorite Friday videos !!! Take care and say Hello to Eddie !!
great job as usual story telling research and videoing love every one of your episodes
Congrats on your surprise silver 1/2 Reale find 😀 awesome!!! Beautiful shoe buckles and the musket piece! The scissors, the musket ball and the buttons 👍 Two whatsit items and the bird band. You again found where you read about; this is what I love about your content. You don't just find out/read about it, you go out and locate, hunt and usually come away with the relics showing life was happening there 👍😀 Best channel on CZcams by far my friend ☺
Great outing Brad some intriguing finds. Xxx 🇮🇲
Thanks for taking us along....well done
Hi Brad, great everything! Friday is always Green Mountain Metal Detecting Day! Later.. Joyce. ARROW *🎱🇺🇸
Jewelers and precious metal workers use lead hammers to chase soft metals out into plates, bowls etc. Remember, lead was not viewed with such horror in the past and was widely employed. Pewters were lead based, toys, spoons and more.
Great finds Brat! One looks like a toy hammer for children, the other looks like the end of a curtain rod or a shepherd's stick. Thanks for sharing, nice weekend!
Brat? Hahhaha.....
Jim Griffiths I know! How insulting! Poor Brad.
Great finds, thank you for sharing them with us.
Golly! That half Reale was gorgeous! So much detail. Had to have been dropped in 1810 or earlier. Amazing hunt. This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. It's got my 2 favorite things......metal detecting and forests. The music's relaxing too.
Another great hunt Brad, thanks for taking us along.
Brad Awesome finds, thanks for taking us on this hunt Dont give up on this place. I'm sure there is more.
Amazing assortment of treasures. Love the musket part. I always enjoy the scenery. Thank you.
I enjoy your hunts and the peaceful atmosphere 🙂👍.
Very nice finds today. Enjoyed the walk in the woods!
AMAZING adventure! Thanks for sharing with us.
My wild guess on the pewter circular find. Parasol handle.
I was thinking that or a horse bit.
@@kelleydesmarais9465 horse bit was my first thought as well.
@anne amus tifny

Awesome day of relic hunting! Thanks for sharing ! Love the ramrod guide and shoe buckles!
Love your programs ! 🌱🕯🕊🎶🎹🎧
Thank you. Always a great time to sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee while watching. The Reale, Shoe Buckle, and Flat Buttons were all amazing finds. And items all on my bucket list. The gun part was just awesome. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
I like the way you tie your metal detecting in with your historical research and make a personal connection with the past. I have read old, obscure books of little towns in my area of Florida and have discovered hidden treasures of all kinds. Thanks for sharing!
Excited for a new adventure!!
I too love the shoe buckles. They are such a personal item. Amazing finds.
Enjoyed you video, love old things.
Outstanding! To find the place you found reference to, and recover all that very neat stuff...!
Good job!
Awesome video and great finds!
Very nice finds! VT provides! Keep rocking! That buckle is a museum piece.
You are a smart CZcamsr holding such a great video back for the slower winter months. Your research is the reason you are so interesting to watch! Great finds too.
Much appreciated from this ole country boy way down here in Southwest Tennessee
Keep up the good work
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow that 1806 1/2 Spanish Real, beautiful finds with the shoe buckles also, thanks for sharing
Great video. Great finds. A+ on the work you did to find this place. Have a great weekend.
Outstanding hunt for artifacts, congratulations.
I look forward to seeing your videos keep up the great work !!!!!
Truly amazing! Eggsellent job hunting!
Brad great video and awesome scenery and SWEET finds
Thanks bud you really cause my curiosity of history to buy a detector and get out there. Wisconsin has a history deep in trading for and ethnic settlements. Thanks J.J.
what a nice variety of relics, doing the research pays off greatly, GL & HH
great finds Brad! Very good video as usual!!
Nice to find you channel glad to see someone local out there checking around for old items. So much to learn and fun to watch.
Certainly enjoy your videos!!! Very interesting and entertaining for this old lady!!!
Beautiful photography! Came for the lure of treasure hunting, stay for the time spent looking at lovely scenery photographed by someone special.
You had a great hunt what awesome place to metal detect
That was really awesome!!
Brilliant love the history great finds keep up the good work great stuff
A FANTASTIC day in any relic hunters book !
It's almost spring 😎 I CANT WAIT !!!!!!!
Here in Minn. we're having a break from the winter blahs, it will be near 40 degrees. And, it's sunny! But nice waking up to your video!
Here in Louisiana, we’re getting NO break from the winter blahs..It’s going to get down to near 40 degrees tonight, and that’s just too damned cold!
Amazing day Brad! Congrats on those incredible finds! 👍
Coolest find I ever had in the woods was a M-2 .50 caliber machine gun from an old crashed fighter jet, although the barrel sheared off a few inches from the receiver it was still cool and completely overlooked by the crash recovery team.
Awesome mix of finds 👍🇺🇸
Wow what a hunt ! Outstanding brad ! As always it’s a pleasure to watch. Your production abilities are impressive. Thanks again for taking us along.
Carry on winter is almost coming to an end
I'm in love with your videos.
I very much enjoy watching them.
Always get excited when I see that you put a video out :)
Thank you again for another great adventure and some awesome finds ! If you go back again you might find more coins one will never know unless you try ! Take care and stay safe out there !
Great stuff. I hope that you are able to revisit this area again someday. Thanks for sharing
that one piece of metal that you believe is made out of lead was used to hold Open a wooden shutter against the house, The piece you found goes into the exterior of the house and then there was another piece that it looked into which was mounted to the shutter to hold them open,
My first thought was a home made toy hammer for a child. It does look like the shutter latch but then it would probably have a loop at the long end to hold a nail or screw. Just a thought. Actually it would be fun to go back in time and check it out. Brad is my favorite digger to watch. I love the scenery, his conversation style teaching and music.
My guess was a blanket pin.
@@lakeverna Don't forget that slo mo walk.
