  • Making my way up a mountain stream, I attempt to locate and metal detect the aftermath of a 150 year old spring flood.

    I've been all over the United States and several countries overseas. Seen some mighty beautiful scenery, but l never traipsed in Vermont. Your video's have made me regret that. Too old now, but l'm blessed to be able to enjoy through your work. Thank you. 😀

    So.. just to get the shot he crosses the creek on the slippery log then has to cross back over to get his camera. Thats called being devoted to your craft!. Love it

    Those hame balls make good ends to walking sticks. Fill them with molten lead put a twisted sapling in and lacquer it all up.

    Great video but a sad story of the family losing the house in the flood so long ago ! Nice seated liberty quarter ! I have only found a 1877 seated liberty dime on the place where was raised that my great grandfather had homestead !

    The creeks are so beautiful, love the sound of the water, trickling down the stream, and the moss on the trees, the water looks so clear, and clean. tfs

    I have always loved history ever since I can remember. It lets us know how we got here today and so many people forget about it in the fast pace world we live in today. But I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you Brad for what you do and to everyone watching, let’s slow down and leave some history for someone else to find hundreds of years later. God bless America.

  • @johnwalters8875
    @johnwalters8875 Před 5 lety

    Very honorable to give the findings to the landowner. I'm afraid that doesn't always happen in this day and age. Just reinforces the type of person you are. Kudos.

    Great hunt nice seated , I found two croto bells the same day last week in a place I have hunted a dozen times but we have had a lot of rain could of maid the difference.

  • @SueGirling68
    @SueGirling68 Před 5 lety +2

    Hi Brad, your investigating skills are awesome to behold, you know how to read the land and how to get yourself for the most part on the right spot, very impressive. Such a sad story, I can just imagine the sheer panic of watching the river rising hour by hour and then that horrible decision of finally saying goodbye to the home you've known and loved up there in those beautiful mountain woodlands. An amazing story that you were able to bring to life and to bring tangible proof back to the owner. Such a cool hunt, thanks so much for sharing. x

  • @mjmj2860

You always engage the viewer as if we are along right with you as you make history very alive in every artifact that you discover and you refresh by making the connection to the last person to have touched and held the exact item that you, your self are holding. Very Proud of you Green Mountain Boy’s and all of Vermont.

  • @clivewarren780
    @clivewarren780 Před 5 lety +1

    I have such problems crossing logs like that. Usually my balance is great, i have walked on many a joist in my day, but i cannot balance when the water is moving under me. Makes me feel like the ground is moving and throws me all off. Add a dash of panicky thoughts about falling in a stream and im done and wobbling all over the place. I usually straddle the log and hump my way across. So you mentioned crossing on the log and i thought, “man is he gonna do one of those shots where he crosses and then comes back for the camera?” Then you did and i was like “yup, he done tip toed across that log three times in a row with the prowess of a cat.” Very daring, just for a good camera shot, especially considering the cold temps and being out in the mountains with nary an Eddie to save you, nor a change of stylish clothes in case you fell in. I appreciate the hard work and risks you take to get us a simple camera shot, let alone the awesome finds, so thank you for that entertainment good sir. Happy friday to you and everyone as well.

    What a great day! Too bad the spring weather can be so unpredictable. Glad you had common sense to understand how the creeks can rise up to be monsters.
    I'm surprised that birch 'bridge' wasn't too slippery and fragile to walk on. Many times they look solid, but crush with the slightest pressure.
    As you said, that grandfather will really enjoy seeing that beautiful quarter. It will give him proof that the family story is true. Not that he needs 'proof'.
    Great video, Brad!!!

    You know your a great outdoorsman when you can balance on wet logs crossing a running river

    • @FubarGuy666
      @FubarGuy666 Před 4 lety

      Or an even better outdoorsman when you use a long branch to help cross a log or stream. If that guy had slipped and strained an ankle he would be in big trouble hiking on his own like that. Did he have any dry clothes, etc, in case he got a ducking in an icy cold mountain stream? Jumping boulders and other risky shit is for amateurs.

  • @brianthebuckleywoodsman7869

  • @SmallWonda
    @SmallWonda Před 5 lety +1

    They must have been thrilled to see those finds, so exciting - the curious item, looks a bit like part of a brass door handle - (seen similar on old handles in England, perhaps) the hanes knobs were a special find - but I wouldn't have been happy living that close to that stream, hard to get a good night's sleep...! Sad story...

  • @DrJones-ni5mb
    @DrJones-ni5mb Před 5 lety +3

    Great looking Seated quarter, those are one of my favorite coins! Really nice job on the video even though you had to deal with the rushing water sounds, I could still understand everything you were saying. I miss those crystal clear mountain streams, brings back a lot of fond memories. All the rivers around me in Ohio are always silty.
