Did These Old Coins Come From an Actual Treasure Chest? 

Hey Folks, thanks for watching today's video! If you've come to the comments to let me know it's a window latch, consider using the time you'll save by visiting this link to today's sponsor! 😉 bit.ly/BradXPdetectors

Brad, I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy watching you pull these treasures out of the ground. It's something I miss terribly and your shows give me hope. I enjoy watching you, Eddie, and Chris especially because of the great friendship you all have and your son and wife too makes it real. Pre Covid, my daughter (now 30)and I would go out with my Bounty Hunter ( I know, lol, but it's what I could afford) and would find coins and lots of "stuff" and we enjoyed it very much. But due to Covid, I lost lung function in my right lung (blood clots), I cannot walk any distance at all without panting like a dog and needing to rest. Here in Oklahoma, we do not find the aged and great historic Coppers you do in the northeast but we still enjoy nonetheless. Please keep these videos coming. I like yours the best of all of them even though I watch several others. I also appreciate keeping the language so even young kids can watch and enjoy them. You make 'em, I will watch them!

Brad, that "latch" is a window latch. I just restored 8 windows from an 1860's church here in Maine and all were identical to your find.

Brad, that's a Victorian era window latch!

Fun (or totally boring) fact - The sash lock you found at 6:00 was manufactured by Hobart B. Ives & Co., out of New Haven, Connecticut, and can be found on page 12 of their 1896 catalog, and again on page 7 of their 1904 catalog. Someone nearby obviously had some extra snazzy hardware in their house haha

You can hear a jaw harp being played in just about every “Tom & Jerry” cartoon episode! And when Tigger is jumping around in “Winnie the Pooh!” So cool!

For sure a window latch! I have them in my house and use them to lock and unlock my old weighted windows daily! Sorry Brad, had to pop you're bubble!

Congrats on the XP sponsorship. You're a great content provider and XP is lucky to have you as part of their family.

Love that you take the time to grab a shot of a trillium.

That 1798 Lg. cent was a super find. I couldn't believe the date was so clear along with such details. The 1805 too! Great finds.

Brad, after reading Sandy Peppers reply to my first comment today she is right don’t change anything. You know what is best for your channel and everyone loves everything you do. I think as I get older I just turned 74 and get a little restless and don’t think things through. Sandy is a smart person and I respect her opinion. You and your channel are going places keep doing what you doing . Have a great weekend! I do watch all your videos just not always right away. I give you a 👍🏻 and watch it later.

Great video Brad, glad to be part of your adventures!

6 years metal detecting… I’d like to see a video of your collection and how you have it displayed.

Not sure if would be of the same use, but I find a lot of similar small hearts like that here in Canada. Mostly used as decoration for horse tack.

Awesome adventure ....coffee and GMMD! Always look forward to starting out my Fridays with you and the beautiful mountains of Vermont! Thanks Brad!

Great day! Also loved that you incorporated digging scenes like you used to do!

That burgundy flower that you got a shot of was just gorgeous. What kind of flower was that? You have quite the eye for capturing different plants and nature scenes. It must be so much fun finding artifacts that were left behind so many years ago.

Crazy, I'm heading to Troy NY today, visiting family and a little detecting. Happy Father's Day weekend brother. I'll let you know what I find out there. ✌👨🤙

My son and I are very novice metal detactors and soon to be very novice gold panners. We live in vermont and these videos have been a huge inspiration to continue a really great shared interest/outdoor activity together and I can't thank you enough

I can't believe anyone who owns land where old activity occurred doesnt own a metal detector.

The kind of fun day that keeps you hunting for treasure! Beautiful finds. Happy you found the little harp!

I've had my Deus for 6 years now. No iron field is safe with the HF elliptical!! Great video!

Wow several coppers 😃. Awesome buttons, a jaw harp, the latch, the little heart, the almost complete knee buckle!! What a fantastic hunt on your family's friends property ☺️👍. I got worried when my notification hadn't popped up for your video 😩. Yay it finally did at 9am central 🎉😁

I just bought a deus and have it on the charger now! I've been using a nox 800, which I love, but I'm intrigued by what I have read about the deus' performance on iron filled old home sites. I have a lot of old permissions in southern Ohio. Now the learning starts with the new machine.

Hopefully the National Geographic,History or Smithsonian Channel vans and crews don’t start driving up asking questions.It appears you’re right over the main target.Those coins look impeccable!! I’d wait for your friend shows up to do a full scale excavation.The long lost illusive Vermont treasure trunk might just be a few feet down..Thanks for another exciting video!! Good luck in the future digs!!

That's a very small "juice" harp most were larger than this. I had one & played it. When the metal reed hit you teeth it would make your hair stand up. Those 2 draped busts were incredible great condition. All nice period finds.

That large cent was awesome!

I had always thought I would love to get into metal detecting. In 2016 I had a stroke which has slowed me down but it hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm. The right half of each eye is blind and my short term memory got damaged. I watch these videos now since I can no longer work and earn additional money to get a detector. Keep swinging.

Hey Brad that 1803 copper depending on the date size and font could be a $4.500 coin in good condition. Great job.

Congratulations on getting a sponsor!! Movin' up. I just love how you show the natural beauty of your state. Gorgeous wilderness!!

Hey Brad, what a great place to metal detect! Wow! Incredible finds! Jaw harp, coins... so exciting! As always I enjoyed the video! See you next time! Wow... Keep em coming..

Awesome finds! The trunk latch is awesome and I love where your mind goes when you find those cool things.

just being in the woods is treasure enough look at the the beauty around you from bemidji mn

I don't know why but I'd love to hear the GMMD intro played as a Bon Scott AC/DC

Awesome video as always. One of these times, I'd love to see the reaction of the landowner after seeing the cool items you find on their property.

I think the allure of your videos is not only the history they celebrate, but the joy of imagination, stories were the account of man's passage through time way before the cold light of written reality.

Window latch

Nice hunt and great finds. Your camera take some of the best video I’ve seen. Hunt on!

Good Morning... What a treasure spot you've got there Brad! Congrats on all of the great finds!.. Beautiful foliage shot- and that broken tree!... as an aside: XP Metal Detector hopefully will realize what a Splendid commercial that you just did for them! So Much Better than the ones that spend millions on in the making of; and it was quite sincere at that- as we've seen you using all of the parts!,, I'd say they are lacking in mental agility if they do not use this 'add' that you made here, on their web page; or whatever they may have as advertisement..

All fabulous finds!! It is amazing how well preserved the coins were!

Great dig Brad, even a lost box with 10 copper coins would have been treasure back then to that family, keep digging those big coppers, love it

treasure? after watching you for some time; i really think your treasure is the fun you have on solo hunts, with your friends, and with family treks.

I think those coppers are in about the best shape of any I’ve seen you find.

Nice coin finds, looks like the land was timbered out not long ago,, maybe they busted the money chest open

That was an amazing Draped Bust!

The jaw harp can have the reed replaced and put to some use.

Another beautiful day in the Vermont woods, the amazing finds making it all the better!

Congrats on the channel sponsor brad. Well earned.

Always such wholesome content. I'm not especially looking for prurient nor clean content, but this so engaging and entertaining. Thank you.

Nice job. I know you couldn’t share much of the landscape but thanks for throwing in a shot of the woodland flower.

Nice Finds! The soil here in Bavaria is not nice to old coins.

The coins are awesome but that Jaw Harp is absolutely awesome! GL&HH Matt

That latch you found looks like it could have been attached to an old ice box, where you would put a block of ice for refrigeration

Sure wish I would have found your channel sooner. But it makes for some great binge watching in the evening before bed

Stellar episode for sure !!!

I think a lot of rural people buried money. I remember going with my mother to her old farmstead to try to find a jar of coins she buried when very young. Didn't find it. My uncle had a habit of hiding money around his property and the walls of his house too. Some big stashes were large. Some of the hidden money was to pay off workers if he wasn't around when they finished. They would call him and he would tell them "under a rock by the tree, or shed, or... A rancher friend in WY told me the old-timers around there used to stash their coins under beans in a half-eaten can so they would be safe while out on the range.

Okay subscribers! I think it's time we start a go fund me page for Brad so he can buy a backup for that hat he has been wearing for the last decade!

We really enjoy your show and folks you hang with. God bless and much gratitude

You had an amazing day of detecting!! I hope you can go back there!

that is some great finds Brad thanks for your videos

Brad good seeing ya again great vid growing up in the hills of Kentucky as a young lad I had a jaw or juice harp as we called them in my pocket all the time thanks for the memories . God bless be safe always watching

Did you find the treasure of legend? Probably not. But, in my opinion, you certainly found A treasure. Time well spent for all of us.

That big button-like thing could have been a harness embellishment. Great property!

Brad, something that I've noticed watching your channel is that some of the areas you search all the coins and some of the artifacts are almost destroyed, while other areas as in this video are nearly as they were when they were dropped. This was and is very interesting to me as we do prospect gold in various locations in Vermont. One of the things you want to look for when looking for an area to prospect is high sulfide areas which is a very acidic area. We are wondering if you could tell us where some of you worse finds where found, not exact locations but areas. I would check surrounding streams for that shiny yellow metal. let us know your thoughts? And Thanks for another outstanding video!

I will stick to my White's VX3 and MX SPORT detector's. Thank you very much. Keep swing'n. 😉👍

Thanks to your buddy, Brad, for keeping at you to metal detect for his hope chest! I really enjoyed today's video! The finds, the couple of on camera exploration of plugs and of course your excitement when finding one of your bucket list items in the complete jaw harp. Best wishes to you and your family, have a great summer!

Amazing coin day but that Jaw Harp, knee buckle and thimble were awesome relics. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.

That harp is missing its "twanger". Doesn't work without it. Used to play one every day as a kid...

This was the one time I didn't mind seeing an ad placed in a video. I'd love to own an XP Deus!

Looks like it could've the top of a hat pin, the heart.

I don't know if it's your area of expertise, by is it possible that when you find a coin you can say what someone was able to buy with it at the time?

Brad. Make sure u go back there . There will be heaps more to find. Great hunt.

2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a Whole. Awsome juice harp. Never found one, or seen one found. Really good site, so happy for you.

Keep doing what you are doing. My grandson and I enjoy your hunts and the education.

Love your channel! I like that you aren't just looking for treasure, but you enjoy and respect the history of the sites.

Great for finds, thank you for taking us along.

That latch is awesome, nice find!

Good going Brad!! Fun hunt, with some great finds! Thanks for taking us along. Cheers JJ

The '03 looks AU, beauty!

Another great vid. When I watch the various vids I often wonder that if someone plotted out the finds in relation to the cellar hole if it might hint where other finds may be located. But this admittedly makes the hobby too cerebral and probably takes the fun out of it. Anyways thanks for the vid. “See you next week” M

Great hunt Brad you certainly had a busy day.

That trillium shot deserves an award!

Wow 1798. Gorgeous coin. Wow!

Real nice video. Loved all the coins you find. You seem to find a lot of large pennies. They are really cool. Enjoy you you tube video. Thanks for sharing . David

Another great video! Hard to find a latch after being told of possible buried treasure and NOT assume it came from a chest

Awesome finds, as a musician you found a good harp. The excitement you share in your is exciting to myself hopefully for others. Like how you treat the Owners property, too many fail too. Thank you for vid,good finds hopefully you can revisit the place again. Had a Sugar Box that has the original key &lock gave to my family. Really as we age we pass thing on. Raised with many pieces of furniture that was pegged together. Surprised still being used 3 pieces still be used today the rest showing some wear in museum's to help others learn like coverlet and quilts. I love a good museum to ponder the past and learn. You Vic's are a time capsule plus nature. Thank you

I am so happy that you have a sponser with Deus XP. I tried so hard to get Garrett in your corner.

Great adventure Brad. Thanks.

Great one Brad! Thanks for doing what you do. Good way to end the work week.

Brad awesome digs! What settings have you been running on your Deus?

decoration on harness are nickel plated steel and filled with lead. Hearts were a common motif.

Being a detectorist from California old items are relatively rare compared to your area. If I found even one of the coins you find regularly I'd be doing the gold dance.

Come on, Brad! Being the musician that you are, I would expect you to play "join together" by the WHO on your new Jews Harp for your Outro! Killer videos! You are an inspiration for all inspiring treasure hunters! Keep up the good work!

Awesome coppers Brad. Love the knee buckle.

Some nice coins and relics out of the ground. Two Draped bust in one day just plain crazy. Congrats on the mouth harp. Happy hunting and be well Brad

Excellent hunt Brad! Congrats on the very nice finds. We have a lot of "hermit" story's here in Wisc also. You never know when one may ring true! Stay safe and all the best!

Wow! I'd say you had a very good day. I have to vote for window latch too. Thanks for a fine video.

Not sure if you found a treasure location but you definitely found a place where the guy had holes in his change pocket. Window latch for sure, just like mine in my house. .

Well it's not a big chest full of silver and gold, but 3 and 1/2 big 200+ year old copper coins, is so much better than pull tabs beer lids and foil wrappers which is most of what you find in places where people have been in the past 100 years.

Hey Brad, did you see a well on this property? Just curious. I liked the sponsor spot. Great finds too. Congrats on the harp, looked small to me. Have a great summer!
