A River Changed Course Revealing a DEVASTATING Loss 

I save up several weeks of Brad's GMMD videos and use them to escape the negative World news (like that from the Russian/ Ukraine War, etc.). Brad's videos are always a welcomed respite and serve as a valued escape from negative world news! Thank you for your videos, Brad!

What an amazing human being! Interesting and interested...kind and considerate....multitalented. So glad I found this channel!

You can't here it enough, but your liquid flow of vocabulary is something special, and your ability to be a sponge as I describe it is outstanding. A sponge is someone that is logical thinking remembering and using all information they are exposed to. You have that as a gift, you will go far and I enjoy each of your searches of treasures.

One of the best metal detecting channels on RU-vid. Always enjoy your hunts and finds. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Brad thank you for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and beautiful finds !

So sad that someone lost their pocket watch and locket a long time ago but great that you found them and the other items too. I think I agree the lead item is a hand mirror I saw one similar online but not as old. Great vid thank you Brad 🙏💎 Seasons greetings.

It’s possible that the ‘brass candle holder’ is the base to the oil/kerosene lamp parts that you found. They sometimes consisted of a glass reservoir mounted onto a similar base with the wick adjuster assembly fixed on top.

Congrats Brad, I was lucky enough to find a Conestoga Bell back toward the beginning of my 2022 hunting season in a city park, 12-14 inches deep! Gotta Love It!

Brad, Back in the Jersey pines not too distant from our home , was Quaker Bridge Road, an old and historic unpaved one through the woods. The oxen teams used to carry bog iron and lumber for the iron foundry smelters. Every so often there was a circular turnoff where the drivers could either turn around or wait for another wagon coming in the opposite direction. You couldn't do that. Thanks for sharing that history. I can see you and your family enjoying the winter beauty at your scenic homestead in two day!! You all deserve it! Cheers, Rik

Just watched the new Adventure Archeology video & Brandon mentioned that you guys might be connecting next year. I'd love to see you guys do something together!!

Your content and camera work always amazes me! Awesome job!! Keep up the great work…

Always great to see your videos. Haven’t watched this one yet but I hope some (well-off) New Englanders took that road less traveled! Someone once said “Good fences make good neighbors.” (Not sure about that but those old stone “fences” sure are beautiful.) Best wishes for fair weather and good-hunting-from an older dude who USED to love wandering the less-picturesque, but still beautiful, fields and streams of Ohio. Sometimes with an old Fisher CZ 6, and sometimes with my “flipping stick,” which was just a headless golf club. Old coins and relics and, older still, tools and ornaments of slate and flint are still catalogued and framed to remind me of my days when I could still get out and hunt. (Sometimes came home empty-handed but the “wandering” was just a different, yet certainly precious, kind treasure.) Thank you for sharing your adventures with me and all of us like-minded folks! Keep your powder dry and your detector swinging! ❤️🫡✌🏼💫

Stunning and curious lead piece. Beautiful find, Brad!

That is a top handle to a cruet set 1880's to 1910 era

John from Edmonton Alberta Canada! Hi Brad👋 Thank you for showing us the past of people that lived in your area of the United States! Great Job! Good Luck finding more treasure!

Beautiful open worked shoe buckle 😍 I find pieces of those often, hopefully one day a complete open worked 😁 That bell is Beautiful 😍 very nice hunt 😀 HH and take care 🙂

Another impressive production Brad, you sure have a gift. I've been here with you since your start, looking forwards to the next season. Thank you

Great hunt !!! The base you were thinking is part a candle holder is most likely the base of a glass oil lamp and the small photo locket may had tin type photos,hence the rusted steel. Always look forward to watching your vids !

Cool locket, 2 penny spill and some very nice relics! Great day Brad! Happy holidays! The bell was just a perfect find for the holiday!

You always gave history on your finds concerning early American settlers . Great finds

This has to be my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Metal Detecting channel.

The led decorative piece with the window as you called it, could be a handle to a large desert or other food tray..it's usually placed in the middle of a tray for easy handling and could have different tiers for cakes..

Someone lost some very dear things there. The few coins in a change purse, a pocket watch. Makes you wonder what happened at that very moment. Merry 🎄 Christmas Brad you an your family.

Thankyou for sharing.

Love the treasures Found. Thanks for sharing

That pocket knife is very possibly a Canton Cutlery Co pocket knife. After a glance at the handle I could pretty much see it was known as high art. It would have at one time been clear celluloid, generally over a photograph or some type of advertising. They started making them in the 1920s. Could actually have been from several different makers including WR CASE & SONS

Could you make a video of the things that was unidentified at the time of the posting. Later identified later. A good project for a winter snowy day..... or week. lol. Peace be with you.

My grandmother's house had an ice house in out back the walls. Floor . and ceiling were a foot thick. They were filled with saw dust. She could remember cutting ice and filling it in winter. When she was little. I remember an icebox in mom's kitchen, the ice man would bring a block in over his shoulder with a leather cape over his back with ice tongs. That was about 1946 or so. She had a Maytag washer on the back porch with hand rollers on top to wring water out of clothes.. Carried water from the well hand pump to pour in it. And the old clothes line outside. I remember the man with a horse and wagon. Sold brooms and pots and all kinds of stuff out of the wagon. I was very young . but those things stuck in my memories.

Superb trek you took us on! Thank you. Those Vermont coins are gold being a Vermonter. I can tell you share that same sentiment. Happy hunting!

Merry Christmas to the Martin family. I hope you are all in good health and good spirits. Great finds Brad. I'm glad that you share the swirling thoughts on what you find. The stories that form wondering how certain items came to be where they were found. You always have such great ideas for how things were lost. Thank you for your dedication to this hobby and how you share your adventures.

Big thank you for clean content. One of my favorite channels. Do appreciate you dr. Detector. J

Lovely finds Brad. The wee book is fascinating. Hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas

I miss my metal detecting immensely got 4 setting idle for several yrs now due to health reasons , enjoy your channel brings back memories of the excitement and history of the past you hold in your hand

hey Brad thanx 4 takin along with u on ur very scenic beautiful hunt, thru the old road, n by the stream, very cool, nice finds, takin us back when, thanx again God Bless

Your subscripts are helpful info. Placing them in the lower left corner is thoughtful

Thanks for the fun hunt Brad. I love and miss the woods of New England.

I love the potential history you bring to each piece you find. Yeah we may not know what really happened but the imagination is priceless. Your finds are exciting and make the unknown so interesting. Thank you for all your work out there.

Those are some awesome finds Brad! The photo locket is amazing! Merry Christmas to you and your precious family! Happy Holidays! 👍😘🎄🎁⛄🎅👼

Love your metal detecting adventures. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄

Your find at the 13 time mark might be the frame of a lorgnette - a hand held viewing glass used for watching operas, reading, looking at far away. Mostly used by women. Some of them were quite ornate items. Merry Christ to everyone.

Brad, for Vermont, this was absolutely wonderful November day, combined with a nice variety of multi-century artifacts uncovered .. Thanks for posting the adventure, and I wish you with your family best wishes for the Holiday Season that is upon us, and a very Happy and healthy New Year.

Hello Brad. We sold ice from our pond s and they were stored in big blocks in the ice house. Great finds!!!! Thank you for filming.

Have you thought about maybe putting a new clapper in your awesome bell find? Would be so cool to hear the old bell ring again! Lol just a thought! Awesome find!

yes- finding a coin drop wallet or bag is cool to find! Once is the total amount of times it's graced my detecting time. Great video Brad....best of everything to you and family!

This is a very interesting video. I enjoyed it very much and I thank you for sharing it with us, take care, and God bless you. 🙏

Brad I've been binge-watching your channel thru the Christmas storms...AWESOME productions. Your year-end recaps are so fun to watch and the bloopers are too FUNNY! Mike and Eddie are a coupla knuckleheads! Love you guys!

WOW that makes sense with the bells , I always wondered what multitudes of uses they would have been made for . Thankyou.😊

You are a great storyteller when ever you find unique pieces Thank you 😊🙏🇨🇦

May you and your family have a Merry Christmas. Eddie and Chris as well. ☮️ 🕊

Thanks Brad and Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄☃️🎄❤️

Great content. You do a very nice job. Thanks for sharing.

As always the music you compose is spectacular and I love the content of your videos. Best of the best! Great family and wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Thank you for the Adventure and Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Brad and family! Keep making content and I’ll keep watching!

Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting.

Photos especially are hard to imagine losing. I recently connected with my great grandmother’s only brother’s granddaughter while doing my family genealogy. I was looking for family stories and, even better, any family photos she might have inherited. Turns out that, due to bitter feelings over his childhood (his father put him into an orphanage at age nine after his wife died and split the kids up between his in-laws and the orphanage), when he grew up and built his first house, he took all of his family photos, put them in a box, and bricked them up behind the fireplace. I understand his feelings, but my heart broke a little over the loss of those family pictures. My great grandmother was apparently equally bitter and never talked about her family to her children. The only photos that were passed down date to after her father abandoned them. My great grandparents had three daughters, but only two survived to adulthood. The youngest Hazel died of the Spanish Flu in 1918 when she was just 18 months. When my father gave the last of his family photos to me this summer to be archived, I found one small photo of two babies of similar age sitting side by side and the back just had “Hazel” on it in my grandmother’s handwriting. I don’t know which of the two was her, but that just might be the only photo of her still in existence.

Awesome finds Brad. Wishing you and your family an amazing Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to you and your family. It's currently -10 degrees with 35 below wind chill. Thanks for the great videos throughout the cold winter.

Thank you for another wonderful video. Merry Christmas all and a safe New Year’s. God bless you all

Love your vids Brad and Merry Christmas-stay healthy and happy.

I’ve been following you for several years, I love how you describe what you find. Love the Conestoga bell.

Merry Christmas to you and family, thank-you for sharing your adventures with us all. Take care be safe and happy trails.

Oh, Brad I miss your usual dig videos!!! Can’t wait till spring! 👍

Great video Brad, you never disappoint

Great vidio,fun find!

You seem to find the most amazing things Thankyou and Happy New Year to You and your family.

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Look forward to Friday's for your videos.

Unbelievable the finds you come across so historical. Keep up the outstanding work and Happy holidays 👍👍

Nice one Brad, good luck for the future.

Merry Christmas Brad, hoping you and your family have the best holiday season this year! Stay safe and be happy! Love from Newfoundland!

I loved finding your video out metal detecting today. It is snowy, windy and -3 degrees with windchill, -25. I'm sure you have plenty of snow by now. Have a wonderful holiday and a blessed new year.

Weather has changed a bit since you recorded this. Stay warm.

Love your videos, praying you & yours have a wonderful holiday season !!

Hey, Brad. Love and look forward to your videos each week. But... your weather is here in Corinth MS. It seems to be drunk and acting crazy.... obviously lost. Could you come get it and take it home?

So many interesting finds! I really enjoy your videos!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I think you’re correct in that the little locket held pictures. My sister had one attached to a charm bracelet when she was a young kid and that was early 60’s. So I’m guessing these are from 50’s to early or mid 60’s. Some nice finds.

It's Christmas Day and I'm wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season. I've watched your wonderful videos for a couple of years now and always look forward to your new adventures. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas Brad. All the best!!! May a good thing attend you.🇨🇦

Another awesome video!

Have not been able to detect much. I am down in the back. Leg hurts bad. So I have been out of work and watching detecting on RU-vid. I enjoy watching brad he knows his stuff about detecting.
