  • On this adventure I metal detect the ruins of an 1800's mountain home and find multiple old coins barely under the surface.

    I once found a barber dime right on top of the ground with my eyes by a foundation

      Hey, me too. Except I found a mercury dime. 1918-S. It was at a new building, a construction site. After it rained a couple times, I was looking at all the rocks that were dug up and exposed. And there was the dime, right on top of the surface. That’s a great find!

      It was an 1892p little gray but I spotted the roundness on the ground

      Same for me, but it was a liberty cap large cent sitting on a stone wall

    I like the new 'live dig cam' you've added to the repertoire. Good stuff man. Thanks for taking us with you.

    Those Mercury dimes are worth a lot more when they are originally kept in such nice condition and so old. Nice find sir.

    On the Comet lamp burner, the spring around the edge was usually used to hold the base of the chimney.

    Great video as always Brad. With your videos I prefer the edited segues you do between finds. The photography/videography is interesting and eye pleasing to a nature photographer. Being an advanced amateur photographer myself, I really enjoy the shots you choose. The music away seems to complement the photography as well. It seems to me you must really love editing because you do a good job at it.

    @marcusaurelius2770 Před rokem +3

    I often wonder why the homesteads you search are abandoned. And why no one has re-populated the area. Such beautiful places, you would think people would want to live there.

  • @Rstpete1

    I am always intrigued when I find watch and clock parts. Pocket watches were much harder to make. Not because they were smaller but because they had to keep time no matter how they were oriented. Clocks on the other hand always had gravity affecting them on the same axis so they were easier to make. I have read broken clocks and watches were often taken apart to salvage any jewels in the movement but I do not know how true that may be. Great video.

  • @claykemper7193
    @claykemper7193 Před rokem +2

    I think holes in pockets explain why many coins were lost. I once found three quarters about ten feet apart, on the surface. I found the fourth one as it slid down my pant leg.

  • @mikewinings4120
    @mikewinings4120 Před rokem

    The way you described clocks,I precisely why I wear a watch every single day,😮

  • @christopherinnovation151

    I think the owner of long time ago said, Let's drop stuff for GMMD to find with his electric contraption. Everyone agreed and started to drop everything for you. Nice Barber find! Great video!

    @teresakiner9877 Před rokem

    Braaaaaad Martin! You da man!!! Talk about great finds… each time you still and just breathe in awe, I tear up and cry a bit. I get as excited as can be for the joy you must be feeling….I so want you to have that feeling on every outing! As always, this show is essential to my mental health…lol. I no longer watch golf for nerve calming. Bwa ha ha ha. True though it is. My son walks by my room and has memorized all the people I watch on CZcams religiously. He asked the other day if you quit filming because no how were in my Que. the next day, we are in business…now he want to go see Vermont, move there or higher up etc. Then he asks wow that Music is amazing, look up the band so we can get a cd. I told him it was you and your group. His response “ IS THERE ANYTHING THAT MAN CAN NOT DO?” can we meet Brad and see his collection’s?! It would be a year or more, I will write and ask when and if he I still ready to make the trek and hold his concentration. Anywho, happy April to you and the family…. Your biggest Kentucky Fan💕Tere

    Great finds Brad.
    I just love old home sites. You just never know what you will find. A few weeks ago I was happy to be finding flat buttons and a very nice 1833 large cent gave me a thrill.

  • @old5andimer713
    @old5andimer713 Před rokem +1

    Brad, it's a great time to be in the leaf matted grounds of the Green Mtns .. I'm certain that when you scrap the top layer of leaves away and actually "break ground" .. the "scent" of the earth beneath emits the scent of Spring and almost transmits itself through this monitor .. That earthy scent is very familiar to "ex-pat" Vermonter .. The Oil Lamp Burner top with the coiled spring was a functional part of the lamp, not just decorative .. Look at other lamp burners you have unearthed, and you will find that all, or most, will have four equidistant, slightly curved prongs to hold the lamp chimney to the burner .. On the example you found, and highlighted in this video, the spring is actually the Retainer for a glass chimney that would encompass the inside diameter of the chimney .. Or, as many of the "old school Vermonters" would call a "Chimley" .. Good video Brad, thanks for posting.

    Funny, that's the first time I've seen a 1909 Indian head found on youtube. It must be fun metal detecting on such old ground, you just never know what that next target may be. Congrats on the old coins, they are awesome.

    Brad i think your videos are the best at metal detecting and telling the history of the early homesteads. the indian head cents of 1908 and 1909 could have a S mint mark .

    @jakeblueline590 Před rokem +2

    Liking the go pro shots more and more. Happy to see you're back on your feet and out in the woods. Not sure what the NY State rules are on metal detecting but there's an awesome old graphite mine outside of Ticonderoga with lots of old stone walls and remnants of old buildings. Little hike from Putnam Pond.

    I've been collecting coins and have read everywhere not to clean them. You can use warm water and a few drops of Dawn dish detergent to clean them but that's about it. I know alcohol is a No-No. I love the coins you find! That barber dime looked really good :-)

    The Barber Dime was a beautiful find but nearer the end, I had to laugh when I saw the wear patch on your "diggin" gloves.....it's seen a lot of coins to look like that, wink. Another great outing, thanks for taking us along.
