Lee, I've yet to see any others consistently posting videos of the same or higher quality than Brad does. Been viewing his vids for years and I've retained the same opinion of his impressive work.
Well...I just found a "thing"... Classic! Welcome to my world. Brad, here is one of the things I appreciate most about watching your adventures. You take just as much pleasure in finding simple, ordinary items as you do in finding other items such as coins. There are other detectorists who say it's a waste of their time to dig iron and common items. You clearly take pleasure in finding simple items that tell the story of who owned them and how they were used. This simplicity is refreshing and gives others of us hope that what we might find is interesting too from an historical standpoint. Thank you for allowing us all to join you on your adventures and for the inspiration that provides! Jim Parry, Backroads Metal Detecting
Could you imagine someone metal detecting around Brad's house 500 years from now? Bet they will have a very confused look on their face trying to date the property.
That cylinder object with th tiny hole at the top could be a candle saver. It goes over the top and the wick feeds through the small hole. It was designed to control how fast the candle stick would melt.
Enjoy your content, immensely. I can’t get out in the woods myself anymore because of my disability but your videos provide me the scenery I love the most. Thank you sir.
I LOVE your videography....they are always SO beautifully done, and edited, and the music is always so superb. Thank you for all the effort you go through to make these.
Hi Brad, the shard of glazed earthenware looks to be of English origin, much like a swirl decorated Pearlware or decorated Mochaware, both typical for the time period of the Homestead .. A great day in the mountains of Vermont, thanks for sharing.
Great haul! The design of the button you found reminds me of a particularly rare facet of colonial jewelry called ‘Stuart Crystal’. They’re exceptionally rare and have ties to the British monarchy from the late 1600s. Typically the backing is made out of silver, and on the inside sometimes you’ll find a gold inlay pattern. Not sure that’s what you have, but they definitely look pretty similar.
Going to hazard a guess as to the offset wedge as a "holdfast" of some sort. Really think the offset limits the possibility of a splitting wedge. Interesting finds today!
Brad, As a Detectorist, Photographer and an Outdoorsman, I find your videos to be a visual feast. Love the button and the nail. Keep up the good work. HH
Of the 20+ CZcams channels I subscribe to, yours is one of only two that I watch in full screen mode and the sound up. The reason is simple: quality of content and presentation. And I have never used a metal detector.
Brad, that big hook, I think that you found it beside the old cellar hole. Could the hook possibly be part of an old door latch set? The hook hangs & a bar rotates down & rests in the hook. That's where my mind went when I first saw it. Cheers
My friend investigated an old trapper’s cabin in the mountains west of Helmville, MONTANA. He found lots of wheat pennies and will investigate further once the snow is gone.
I ordered the pants after watching this video. They are well made and have "European" styling. My wife of 41 years says I look sexy in them. Of course she hasn't had an eye exam in years! Brad's videos are great and he finds very interesting historic objects. Very inspiring and you can tell he loves history and does thorough research.
BRAD….🤪 over the summer I bought a pair of Revolution pants…I’m up to 4 pair now, I wear them every day, …! Just a completely well thought out piece of clothing that is super durable, and so comfortable….!!! I love them…❤️❤️
Brad the folded piece of brass could well be part of a Dagariotype or Ambrotype, forms of early photographs. They were very fragile so they were normally mounted in cases. That looks like it could be the backing to a pendant case.
The glass button looks Spanish in origin to me. Also by the color of glass its possible that it's made of Libyan Desert Glass. It's been an export of the region for thousands of years for use as gemstones. It's worth having a geologist knowledgeable in that specific material take a look at. If it is Desert Glass, it could be quite valuable. Relatively speaking...
@@nebbindog6126 Libyan Desert Glass (sometimes referred to as Egypt or Egyptian Desert Glass) is a rare and beautiful impact glass, found in only one remote location on Earth, near the Libyan/Egyptian border. It is associated with an ancient meteorite impact, which occurred somewhere in the North African deserts.
Just picked up on your shows. Me and my buddies been metal detecting New England for countless years really enjoyed watching your shows nice job very thorough think back a lot of great memories as well as more to come thanks man
Very enjoyable! Thanks Brad! I even liked the advertisement! Can't wear the skinny pants. Great stuff but I'm 76 and I do my metal detecting out doors through you! Please keep it up and yes keep doing sites that have been done before still making great finds!
I'm getting my first metal detector this spring. I'm getting a few magnets and Im going to magnet fish the river that the rifle range for Camp Grant that was built for WW1 in 1914. It was used to train all the medics in WW2. There was also a prison of war camp there and they trained pilots there in WW1. Now it a Air Port but the rifle range is still there and the artillery range. There is no metal detecting allowed because of the unexploded ordnance still on the ground. The EOD come for 2 months a year to clear them. We get to listen when they blow up all the explosives. It's kind of a big deal. They can't stop me from magnet fishing at the range and down stream. I will post the videos when I do it. Have fun detecting. I can't wait to join the metal detecting community. Have a great day and I hope you are doing well with your microphone's.
Being from the plains of the US, we don't find that really old stuff.Mostly we find newer coins and some old 1800 settler type stuff. Youdig in sometough places,from my perspective. I really enjoy your vids. Havagudun bud.
Oh great, now that I see exactly what a rose head square nail looks like and I think I've thrown several away, during my trips up to hunt in New England 🤦. I love seeing your many finds, especially when those finds are made at a place where others have previously hunted 😃. Congrats on the Largie find to end your day 👍☺️
The shoe buckle, the shard of decorative glass and the beautiful button speak to me of more wealth than normal, Could that mystery item be a cap from a wooden parasol frame where much would be rotted away? Wooden shaft with stiff cane splines forming a frame for silk or such as the fabric? A brass cap and screw on top to finish it off? The lady of the house had fine buttons, why not a parasol to keep the sun off of her fair skin? And that offset in the iron item speaks of extra effort for a purpose like a special implement or machine. Not sure what from that era but not an easy task for a blacksmith to make such with close tolerances unless it was important.
Loved your music under the promotional info mid video. Did you tune down your cello to sound like a string bass? It really added a lot of texture! As always I thoroughly enjoyed your filming!
Brad, Thank you Remember when you decided to search all iron and had some great finds? The land is fickle and sometimes it requires human ingenuity to unearth things. Not to forgwt sweat equity, eh? Cheers, Rik Spector
Thank you for sharing you finds. I agree with a previous complement on the production, pace, etc. I just started to put up a few of my finds (quick videos).
Love that glass button 😍 I found a broach with a big old purple glass gem in it. Those are such neat and different kind of finds. Look forward to your next great find 😉
A great day of Diggin Brad. Some nice iron relics. That square nail is a beauty. I have dug the same odd brass thing. I as well have no idea what it is. The star of this episode is definitely that sweet little glass and pewter button. Happy hunting and be well
Hello Brad. Presentation is everything. Not just your finds which are your passion. Your music and video editing too. Keep digging! Don't make me Subscribe lol!

Very sturdy, well designed gear. Cool looking too. : )
It looks like a railroad spike to me ..
Them pine needles have all that Acid in them it’s eats up the coins ..

The guitar starts to play and I’m immediately relaxed. The work week just dissolves away. Thanks Brad!
I voted for you as the best metal detecting channel on the internet.
Voted where?
I 👍
Brad is excellent
Brad, I share your enthusiasm for finding relics and wondering about the people who owned them. Thanks for another great video.
Could you imagine someone metal detecting around Brad's house 500 years from now? Bet they will have a very confused look on their face trying to date the property.
I think the unknown "thingy" is part of a door latch mechanism. Looked like a beautiful day, peaceful.
What a beautiful little button that was! That was a lucky lady that got to wear it. Blessings, Texas Deb

Any day in the woods is a great day! Thanks for taking us with you!!
It's always amazing to me how things are so well preserved up there. Everything down here tends to rot away much more quickly.
Going to hazard a guess as to the offset wedge as a "holdfast" of some sort. Really think the offset limits the possibility of a splitting wedge. Interesting finds today!
i love that intro music.. enchanting man!! sweet adventure today thanks for taking us along Brad!!
The button was unbelievable. You had great finds today but the button sings to my heart. Thanks for bringing us along when you find your “things”.

I absolutely love that button with the pewter backing!!!
I think the small glass button could be for the top of a woman's cape, just my first impression when I saw it...great finds Brad..
It's always great to see u on Friday! Ur the only detector's I watch because ur so good at filming and the scenery is always beautiful!
Brad, that hook you found could that possibly have been used at the fire place some sort of cooking utensil.
Brad, that big hook, I think that you found it beside the old cellar hole. Could the hook possibly be part of an old door latch set? The hook hangs & a bar rotates down & rests in the hook. That's where my mind went when I first saw it. Cheers
Nice finds dude; that glass button is something else!
I love how you repurpose some things you find and how excited you get about items that other detectors shrug and throw back.
Never disappointed Thank you for being so informative and the way that you incorporate nature into your videos
Beautiful day! Nice digs! Do it while you can! Have a great weekend!!👍😘
The thing that looks newer looks kinda like a condenser for an older ignition system of some kind of engine. Great videos.🌄

That glass piece looks like prehenite gemstone which could have natural bubbles in it. It's a common form of natural glass.
Brad the folded piece of brass could well be part of a Dagariotype or Ambrotype, forms of early photographs. They were very fragile so they were normally mounted in cases. That looks like it could be the backing to a pendant case.
Very cool rose head nail. Unusual glass button. Nice period finds.
Binge-watching GMMD during these cold and windy days in West Central MN. LOVE IT!
Even your end presentation has a gorgeous background !
Love your videos, maybe this winter do a bloopers videos, thanks for sharing all your great adventures.
bases of light bulbs, Brad. No threads on early light bulbs- only insert and turn slightly
I don’t care what you find. Fun just watching. Thanks for the adventure.

Never heard of such. Very interesting, thanks for sharing
@@nebbindog6126 cool. Yeah it was formed by an ancient meteor impact. Turned the sand into glass....

Great show Brad, thank you and you and your family stay well!!!
I always enjoy going out in the mountains with you. Thanks for bringing us along. Well done as always.
Love all the content and history that you teach us with these videos, not realizing what our nation was like as it was being formed pretty cool
Looks like a small lightbulb base, maybe they thought the Indians had electric service in that area already?! Enjoyed!

The item you found before the pottery is the base for an automotive light bulb. Glass and filament are obviously missing.
At 12:50 it appears to be part of a door toggle latch. Could be wrong though. Love the videos!
Brad,. I appreciate all the research and background you have to do. I love history. I'm so envious.

The flat Iron could be used as a chisel. That would explain the flat hammered top.
Dang youtube didn't notify me. I asked my husband if today was friday. I had to search. love ya Brad. thanks
Being from the plains of the US, we don't find that really old stuff.Mostly we find newer coins and some old 1800 settler type stuff. Youdig in sometough places,from my perspective. I really enjoy your vids. Havagudun bud.
I love the hoodie. I noticed it from the very beginning. I will check them out.
Thanks Brad for the info on the clothing ! Always like a surprise of that nature!
What a great day!
The big nail that you found is a door latch at the back end was a hole
Thank you Brad always enjoy your videos. See next Friday
Oh great, now that I see exactly what a rose head square nail looks like and I think I've thrown several away, during my trips up to hunt in New England 🤦.

Not all metal dedicators are equal 😊 nice finds 👍.
Looks like part of a door latch to me, maybe from an old wooden door to the barn or shed.
Hello Vermont Green Mountains!
Brad, great video story as always!
Great Video...as always Brad Martin! I really enjoy watching all you hunts in Vermont. If you're ever in Texas...look me up!

Great fun Brad! Hugs from KY 💞 Tere
Brad another awesome video. Finding old relics looks great fun and the photography is stunning . Keep swinging and finding great things…..
Great video Brad! You made some really nice finds.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
The yellow glass pewter "button" could actually be decorative cuff-links. All cool finds!
Loved your music under the promotional info mid video. Did you tune down your cello to sound like a string bass? It really added a lot of texture! As always I thoroughly enjoyed your filming!
the pottery is slipware from the 1600s, could be Dutch or English, it looks Dutch to me
Brad,
Thank you
Remember when you decided to search all iron and had
some great finds?
The land is fickle and sometimes it requires human ingenuity to unearth things.
Not to forgwt sweat equity, eh?
Cheers,

If you take that hook put it in some boiling wax it'll turn black come out pretty cool.
I do that with my all my iron.
Great stuff Brad, thanks. can not wait to hear what the bell shaped thing is.
I think that round brass pieces maybe part of a cleaning rod. Maybe for a shot gun.
Brad, truly enjoy going along on your adventures, thanks .
Thank you for sharing you finds. I agree with a previous complement on the production, pace, etc. I just started to put up a few of my finds (quick videos).
7:27 Singletree for hanging wild game for processing
I wonder if that folded brass was pick for a mandolin or other instrument. They may have folded it to make it stiffer as it wore. Just a hunch though.
I always seek you out on Friday!
nice day hunting nice place keep going thanks
Goooooood morning Brad !
Fantastic finds Brad!
Love that glass button 😍 I found a broach with a big old purple glass gem in it. Those are such neat and different kind of finds. Look forward to your next great find 😉
Love your channel bud - going to sit back and watch😁 Hope all is going well. From South Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Hello South Africa from NW Montana USA!
Howzit Leon!
@@marcgardiner6278 Hey bud - I see you have good taste!
Enjoyed the hunt nice finds will catch you on the next one. 🇺🇸
A great day of Diggin Brad. Some nice iron relics. That square nail is a beauty. I have dug the same odd brass thing. I as well have no idea what it is. The star of this episode is definitely that sweet little glass and pewter button. Happy hunting and be well
The mystery item (long flat with a handle) seems to be the inner slide of an old slide latch doe a door.
Nice video … as usual. Good mix of colonial finds … heading over to look at the clothes now and check out the Revolution line. ⚒
Awesome clothing, definitely will be getting some.👍🤘
That is a pretty cool hook. I love to use things like that in our house. Some more unique than a normal hardware store hook.
Hello Brad. Presentation is everything. Not just your finds which are your passion. Your music and video editing too. Keep digging! Don't make me Subscribe lol!
Hey Brad, another great vid. Any chance doing a vid showing your guitar technique. Love the music. Thanks from Portugal
Nice haul of buttons.
Now finding nails will be less annoying until you find the perfect one to hang that hook.
so cool to find these neat things!!
