Still my favorite metal detecting channel! Don't know if it's the great mountain scenery, the awesome music or the great finds!
I know, his music is spectacular, enthralling, draws one in ... And sets the mood just right. Love Brad.
Chris is too darn cute when he finds stuff. Epic facial expressions. Cool finds guys. 👍
I love how supportive Brad is of his friend's (and friends) discoveries. He never discounts any find and that's a rare find in a person 😊
The Copenhagen chewing tobacco lid right at the beginning made me smile. I chewed it 45 years ago.
Thanks for sharing another good morning of discovery in the Green Mtn's of Vermont .. Brad, if you get the opportunity, give us "ex-pats" an aerial flash of Vermont's Autumnal Spleandor, it must be at peak, or near peak, and it would be greatly appreciated by all.
Its pretty darn close to peak right now.
@@c.s.5177 I lived in NW Vermont, moved to SW. FL. 30 years ago, and miss both the Foliage, and fresh Maple Syrup in Spring .. I'll bet it's beautiful even with the drought that is all over New England .. thanks for the reply.
@@old5andimer713 we have not had much wind so the leaves are just hanging in there. Truly lovely this year.
I have always liked snakes, well except for rattlers. Enjoyed the friendly interaction with the little garter snake.
Chris is the one sidekick of yours that I like watching you with. Seems like such a kind, nice dude.
I love the scenery in your videos!
I always enjoy your video’s! The lid looks like a Copenhagen lid .
Snuff had those kind of lids too.
@@katherineg5946 ... Copenhagen is a brand of snuff. Could be from the 70's or 80's.
@@unrulyjulie4382 my grandmother dipped and mom bought for her the glass containers that had those types of lids. When the snuff was gone we had juice/water glasses. I still have 2 of them. Plus a fist size bag of Bugler tobacco sacks she saved.
Yeah, I chewed Copenhagen in the 80's and that was the lid. What, are they plastic now?
@@JasonNW6868 ... Yeah, plastic.
Glad I'm not the only person who loses targets when they're right in front of me, lol. Congrats on the harp pieces, fingers crossed for a whole one next. :)
The tool Chris has found looks like a bark spud. Used to remove bark from trees, I remember using them with grandfather. A pine pitch mess for sure.
So Chris can start getting his canoe started by peeling off the bark… 😂 🛶
AS I watch your videos I feel like I’m back home. I grew up in a near by state way out in the woods. Thank you for sharing. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🌟🌟🌟🌟💖
Thank you for being kind to the snake ! After Hurricane Harvey flooded my home I took a baby copperhead from the bottom shelf of my china cabinet.
Love your music, goes good with your videos. peace, health, happiness and blessings. tfs
Metal roots and iron worms get me all the time! Lol great hunt!
Another great day finding treasure in the woods. Thx
HEY BRAD, CHRIS IS A OPTIMISTIC, FUNNY - MAN & SNAKE - HANDLER.!!!!!!! GREAT - FRIEND.!!!!!
Your videos are always a bright spot in my week. 😊
Chris is a cool dude! Love his enthusiasm. Reminds me of the guy behind the camera! Awesome time in the woods Brad
LOL!! Yeah Chris I was!!! OMG!!! It's right there!! Whatcha dion with that twig!!! You guys are awesome! Thanks for the videos!
The tool Chris found looks a lot like a bark spud - for stripping bark from logs.
I believe this was a large gouge for wood work, as a spud would not be distorted from hammering. Pretty cool tool....many types of gouges are still used by wood craftsman today.

A great start to the day. I giggled all the way through this trip. Thanks Brad and Chris. Great finds. Thanks to you and your channel, Santa will be delivering my son a metal detector this year 😉
Go ahead and get Mom one, too!! (You deserve it!)
Thanks for the warning! Now, I know I can relax while enjoying these videos!
Two Jews harp fragments, so cool! Nice buttons and largie! Congrats to Chris on hos skeleton key and largie! Your "hook" may be a part of fireplace andirons!😊💖
Some nice coins and relics out of the ground this week guys. HH and be well
i think Chris wins the hunt today! LOVE the key, coin & the tobacco lid!--(It's Old for sure--no 1970's! :-)
Man! That root gave off a banging signal! Great find Chris! lol
That is a very healthy garter snake! Love it
I'm from the Central Connecticut area and I did a lot of the same type of areas that you do lot of rock walls and farm fields with the occasional Park and I must say you are the man.
Absolutely love how you put good history and knowledge of our great country into every video and also how you get excited about small fines as well reminds me of why I became a detectorist. Between you Aquachigger and the Hoover boys you guys always keep the Good videos coming. Don't have access to as much pure unadulterated mountains as you do but anytime you want to come to Connecticut hit me up brother
I was raised in the foothills of Southern California. The first thing our father showed us was a rattlesnake. He had caught it and we eventually skinned it. I learned a good lesson. We learned about all the snakes in our location. I guess I was a tomboy. Oh, and I grew up calling that instrument a mouth harp.
I was raised in SoCal and when I joined the Marines was lucky enough to be stationed at 29 Palms.
There was a live fire range where we shot anti-tank missiles at targets made of stacked up tires. But before we could shoot them, we had to go out the day before and re-stack the tires from the last guys.
On the way out, there was one guy who was really stressed about snakes, and of course we told him scary snake stories on the way out, lol. He got so nervous he just kept repeating “I’m gonna walk up on a snake... I just know it... “.
The trucks stopped, we all jumped out and went for the closest tires.
Sure enough, the very first tire this guy reached for started rattling as soon as he touched it! I looked up at his screams to see him about four feet off the ground and flying backwards! All I could understand between rapid-fire obscenities was “I f’n 𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒊𝒕!”
He jumped too fast to get bit, and a few guys caught it. They made up this ritual that said to get rid of the fear he had to eat the snake that scared him, or the fear would always haunt him.
So they cooked it, and he ate some. It seemed to work, too lol! They salted and dried the skin on a rock and gave it to him.
Never in my life have I seen another man jump so high, so far, so fast! 😄
I personally love snakes. That was an awesome video man.
Excellent video, just recommended Green Mountain to my son who spends his working hours in woodland.
Great hunt and finds. If you pause the video it looks like the coin Chris found is an 1818. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Neat area; very beautiful woods. And I happen to be one of those people who DO like snakes (I have two pet corn snakes and one pet king snake, all very spoiled and friendly), so thanks for showing that beautiful garter snake! They're very underappreciated.
Awesome day for you guys stay blessed and see you again on the next episode
Connecticut here..just started detecting two yrs ago..love it. Great work guys
If I was 45 years younger Chris & I would be great for each other. I grew up in a neighborhood of boys & I'd catch snakes and chase the guys to show them what I had. They were not fans of this. Chris would have stood his ground. Love it.
yay!!!! Good diggin’ and watchin’ !!!
Good morning Brad and Chris, awesome video. Not a bad day at the office fellows. Lol All the relics are cool. The item you first thought might be part of a spur, my first impression it’s part of a fireplace item. Thanks again, later, Joyce, Connecticut 🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱
Always enjoy seeing what wildlife you encounter. And never saw a metal twig before...thanks for sharing! Mike in sunny Florida
brad thx for th cd love it good seeing ya again . as always great vid great scenery be safe up there
Great video Brad and Chris. Cool finds. Thanks for sharing. *Chris*
I have watched your videos a long time and have often wondered about snakes there. Glad you showed it.
Congrats on the key Chris, that's a bucket lister for me too. I've got a few bucket listers this summer, finally found my first whole crotal bell, an entire pocket watch, a military button and not just any, war of 1812 marine corps button. I hunt mostly old farm fields and have several permissions for land that was settled in the mid 1700's but have never found a large cent. Every time I bring a friend out with me they find one damnit but not me, lol. However, this summer I dug an 1871 Chinese coin which was quite a surprise and as far as I'm concerned it counts for a period coin.
Seems like a good place to return to again. Awesome finds. Thank you and you friend Chris sharing your adventure. Great videos to learn and best of all enjoy.
Friday has always been a day to look forward to. Your videos have added some anticipation to that! Good fun as always! Thanks for sharing😊 cheers from South Australia 🏖️
Perfect timing. Friday night viewing 🇬🇧 sorted.
Man! Thanks for a good start to my day. For you both in at a newly discovered home site. Never say never, Brad. Well, now you can't anymore can you? You're just super adventurer, like me!
I've just come across your channel and I enjoyed this video so much. Wonderful scenery and finds. I'm a mudlarker in the UK and you've given me a new fascination. Thank you.
Hi Brad . . . Congrads to Chris on the bucket list key . . . I think your right about the eagle fragments he dug . . . I think they came from an eagle powder flask . . . thanks for the vids & Happy Hunting !
Man! What an AWESOME hunt! Congrats!
Wooow guys nice digs ... Wish i could have a button day like that!! Lol
Great video and such beautiful countryside.. greetings from Perth, Western Australia!!
Looks them mountatin boyz musta been jammin with those J harps!
Maybe he was shredding and the metal fatigued. ;-))
@@kimjameson7979 yep, shouda used some nut sauce or juice juice!! haha
I have my grandfather's snuff glasses. The lids are like these. Made to fit the tops of a small glass to be used later.
Just stumbled across your site and have been binge watching your videos. Thought I would mention that the heavy iron object you thought might have been a spur but was too heavy looked like a boot jack to me. Usually mounted to wood at an angle. My grandfather (born 1875) was the neighborhood blacksmith and built one very similar. Thanks for sharing your finds and the lovely area you live in.
You go Chris. I am a snake lover as they have a place in our environment. I think the remaider of the fish plate is in another area. Keep searching. Love the drone shots also.
Sweet finds, thanks for sharing.
Liked the garter snake.
The brass pieces that you call a "fish" plate look to be a part of a powder flask. Great video!
thats what I was thinking, great I D on that, GL & HH
I agree 👍
Awesome location and great jOb on your finds
Extremely enjoyable. Thanks a lot.
A beautiful snake, but all snakes are beautiful!!!
I think you and the Hoover boys would make an awesome collaboration video I hope other people think so too have watched you from the first time you posted love your work keep it up
Congrats to you both for finding old coppers!! Great number of buttons saved too ☺ The jaw harp pieces are both such cool finds! I was going to hunt in Vermont, while taking my month long trip throughout New England, but alas I don't know any other Vermont metal detectorists other than you (and we don't really know each other 🤷). Maybe next year I'll have gained a CZcams friend in your beautiful state, with whom I can hunt ☺ I've hunted inn Maine & New Hampshire and will be hunting in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey before heading back to Texas in November.
i don't often comment, but when I do,, it is your content,, and, I'm a bit jealous!
Brad, That large cent is a Matron Head (1816-1835). Hope that helps. Nice Hunt! JJ
Loved Anna’s story!
The chisel thing looks like a big firmer gouge or log gouge - used to make the saddle notches in a log house ( I live in one) and can also be made to start a big wooden butter bowl or tub. The hook thing looks like an andiron leg. Another nice video - I like to start the day when I can with Green Mountain M D or the Travelling Bottle Digger. Both you guys give me the inspiration to get out there.
I love snakes. I’d be picking them up like Chris!
Jaw harp, different size, different sound. They had a family band.
You seriously need to explore more of this property. I get good vibes about this.
The lid looks like a snuff lid, it fit on top of a small glass. My grandpa kept his on the fireplace mantel. He was in his 70's when he died so I would guess it's 1800's lid. The key looked like his clock winding key. Nice video thank you.
Top of a snuff jar or tin!
Awesome finds guys !!!
Looks like Chris and Brad found the contents of that treasure chest. Was filled with buttons unfortunately lol. Another great video Brad!!!
Wonderful video Brad. If those woods could talk.
Awesome finds.
The thing you thought looked like a spur is part of a boot jack.
Just looked them up x
I thought it could be part of a broken andiron for the fire, too
@@oakknobrocks1772 ... An andiron is the first thing that I thought of as well.
@@oakknobrocks1772 You're right. Also a possibility.
Chris's Copper Eagle pieces resemble a War of 1812 Hat Plate Emblem or Belt Plate....which would fit with the date on the coin you found Brad...
Long time no coin! That moody song you play over the soaring mountain shots captures the mood of the region so well. It transports me me to my old home of upstate New York. Nice job.
Fluid conversation, no dead air time, fantastic visuals, good information about your suroundings, and like any sport you go for the anticipation of possible new finds and not anti educational. No two sport games, fishing or hunting trips, can ever be the same. Add in guests, different locations all over the world and you get even more invitations from different special places. Does any of this sound familar? Someone with vision should offer you a show similar to others that are on now but you need to make a big leap. Yours would be more interesting, I'm sure, and a bit more educational.
Good job, hope you catch an offer for a show, think what you could do with a cast of people covering you back, and sponsors. The history you can offer is endless because you are, I can tell you are, a sponge as long as you hold on to that metal detector constantly cathering information you find interesting along the way.
I indicated before that shinny metal items are collected by the small pack rat. They like metal and anything shinny but they also like turds, why? not sure so I'll leave that to your future research team. Sience investigators have been looking at 10,000 year old packrat nests to tell us lots about what was going on years ago. You look for metal items to do the same. I would buy a ticket to watch the things you would find in today's 100 to 200 year old pack rat nests or any other new location! Just thinking up show names would require one person full time.
Keep up the great work, you are a rabbit hole for sure and someone will see your posibilities. I have lived many lives already and never ever looked back but as someone else indicated to me in a comment from your site, your have fluid speach and that cant be taught. I can tell anyone that has taken the class for camera body skills, they all look the same and have the same body language, just a different body.
Good Luck and remain humble, it's why people find you interesting.
Wouldn't mind finding a garter snake that size in my garden (not sure Chris would be picking up the Tiger & or Copperhead's that sneak about in the long grass or could potentially be hanging around in the trees around my pond!) Nice hunt guys - must have looked so different 150-years ago... 👍🦘🐾😎
Great finds!!! Love your videos .
Great video guys 👍👍
I'm 57 and from PA originally. We called them "Juice Harp".....people confused Juice with Jews...which I do not like that term either. Our music teacher in 2nd grade had told us, it was because it IS a jaw harp or mouth harp and sort of makes you salivate, almost slobber as a kid...hence the word Juice.
I can tell you, we played them.....if you ever do, do not get your lip pinched with the "twanger" tine.......it's a pain you won't soo forget and a big old blood blister on your lip for over a week kind of sucks...lol
Great video. I'll leave the snake handling to the professional ....Chris!!! He is quite comfy with them...lol I got bit by a baby copperhead last year. There is nothing sweet about the term baby. They're cool, I won't harm any of them, but not fun to get bit. Got pretty sick and hurt like Hades.
You all have been a high point during the tragedy that is covid. Thanks for your diligence and inspiration for finding treasures. Bentley on the frozen lake was tearfully charming.
Great adventure, keep them coming....thanks
Good job, fellas!
It's always fun to visit Vermont. Thanks for taking me along....
Love your videos great scenery always interesting 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nice job boys!!
I laughed at the Copenhagen lid!
Enjoying your hunt here in Brattleboro on this rainy fall morning. Thank you!
The large broken item is most likely a blacksmith bending fork. The blunt short square end fit into a hardy hole on an anvil. It was used to bend hot metal and could be hammered against to help a bend go further thus the reason it broke. I have one that size, complete but not as fancy. Made to get metal into it fast while the iron is hot.
Hope you habe a amazing weekend and have fun and stay safe your brother terrt
Love your videos
I found a complete iron jews harp before. I actually have a couple, and they are fun to play!
Looks like you guys had a great day! Chris seems like a good friend to you!
A large percentage of those stone walls are believed to predate the colonial era by a long time! There are also a large number of monolithic stone sites all across the northeast with as yet unknown purposes! Most people dont realize there is alot of very cool prehistoric history hidden in this area, it's a pretty neat subject to look into if you're into that type of stuff.
Another great video! Yeah that UST tin is a lid from the '70s, probably. UST makes Copenhagen, Skoal and back in those days, Happy Days. I remember those lids.
Love your still shots!
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Nice finds !
