Forgery Found on a Dead Mountain Road 

brad long time veiwer great vid . your music is great and we need more people who love the mountians as much as you.keep the vids coming .God Bless

Brad, After seeing one of your last videos showing your music studio, your music has taken on new meaning. Keep on mixing & digging!

Could that pully have been inside of a window sill for the sash weight?

Your opening artistic segment was beautiful. I especially enjoyed the spider webbing with the sun shining on it. Then your shadow begins to fade it away as your enter the shot. (Yes, some of us do see the details!)

The cone shaped object looks like the end of a fireplace bellows

Dang Brad. Too bad the dimes were not in the coin bank. With that patent date they would have been seated and barber coins!

As always great content shared and thanks for that. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.

Arguably the most intriguing mix of finds from a single site that I've seen in a long time. Fantastic finds and editing! That 1799 counterfeit dollar is stellar. That is a really rare find!

Morning Brad, those pulleys belong in a Grandfather type clock. Sash weight pulleys would have a wider groove, they used a rope about the size of modern clothes line rope.

I'm still watching. Incredible clay marble surface find. Remarkable how clean it was. I've only ever found one while metal detecting (was in the hole with a wheat penny)

Couldn't sleep, then I saw your "TGIF" video! I'd love to know what the two pieces that fit together might be, silly but my first thought was a yoyo (no laughing)! Anyway a toy. I've never seen a clay marble, cool. Counterfeit, exciting. That was thrilling.. Of course I will watch this again today! BTW you used your new tune you were working on in the Vlog, awesome!. Just loved it. Your like the rock star of metal detecting. Haha like I can sleep now... The day begins on a good note! Thank you!

What an Awesome day! You my friend are very lucky. So many great finds. The coin tops it off! How many people can say they have a 1700's counterfeit coin? Not many I bet.

Hi Brad, really enjoying your videos. You present them so professionally and the stuff you find is really cool. I think in this video there were some things I recognise. The decorative case with crown might be a side of holder. It would cover the blades. The 3 pullies, might be from a Shells Maid. A drying rack for clothes that you pull up to the ceiling and fix into placr. Usually above the kitchen range. Thank you. Christina.

Some cool finds! Sucks about the counterfeit dollar, but it's still a cool find from the middle of nowhere! I still would rather find a counterfeit coin, than nothing at all! Be safe...

Love how you brought us with you when you explained the smell of the environment you were in. With the colors of the forest, your music ringing in and the subject matter, this was a really an awesome video!

Your pulley parts look like an old drying rack that was above the cook stove in my family home. Thanks for the videos, always a pleasure. Cheers to you and yours, Billy in Canada

the fact that they were forging money shows that even back then the desperation for money and to have things. great vid.GL&HH

14:19 it has the British, Imperial Crown so I think it is military in origin and I guess it might be something to do with a sword or a dirk that tucks in to a sock? Although I have found no evidence the clover leads me to believe that it has something to do with the Irish Guards!

TGIF, ”Brad’s in the house”

That counterfeit coin must have a story to tell. Also that piece with the crown on it looks like the bottom of a sword or dagger scabbard. Love the videos and your music in them👍

Very nice vid😍 Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Great video with a lot of really unique finds! As far as it seeming like a switch was flipped on September 1st.... I definitely feel that another switch was flipped November 1st, as I’m sitting here looking out my window at a foot of snow ❄️, and getting ready to enjoy the single digit temps again tonight 🥶. It makes watching this video filled with green all that much more enjoyable!

The design of 14:47 with crown, thistle and shamrock smells like British. Ramrod guide?

Those pulleys could be from weighted sash windows.

Great video love watching them not just for the metal detecting but for the history as well,the little pulley wheel thing looks just like the once we had in our house they were on a pulley for a clothes hanging what pulled up to the ceiling but you never know for sure good luck in all you do.

Pretty sure the crown adorned tube is a rare mid 19th century snuff snorter and the lidless box is an over sized snuff box. Achoo!

Brad, my Grandma's home had those crystal door knobs. The house was built in 1912, but folks in those days weren't shy about reusing materials from older homes...from lumber to doorknobs. I really enjoy your music, just wish more of the public were exposed to it for you to get the credit -and money - your talent so richly deserves. Another fine video that makes this old man happy. 😀

Enjoyed today mucho mucho !! Thank you !!

Hi Brad, I found the exact same piece of jewelry a couple weeks ago in gold, I thought it was two earrings as the solder joint had let go, but now I know what it is.....Thanks, great find!

That thing is a Tinderbox. I have a reproduction which I use for my flint and steel

Thank you Brad for another amazing hike/hunt. Thumbs up subscribers for THE best metal detecting channel - period. Enjoy your Winter Brad and family. Chuck in NE Kansas

Always a great video!! You are the best!!

Brad ,the clay marble had a hole through it. I'm thinking necklace that would go along with the jewelry find.

St. Albans raid? I would imagine that site is now paved and built over.... Of course the Park is still there.... Would be interesting to see what the finds would be...

Great job again Brad! Production is great as usual and the teachings you provide to your audience is fabulous. Onwards and Upwards my friend!!

I love watching your videos for not only the metal detecting and history but for the scenery that you film. It is foreign territory for me (I live in OK so not many forested areas near me). Keep it up and always include the scenery please!

Great video! Love the brooch you found! The mystery box is the half of a soap box I think.

Brad my man, another great video, as usual. Okay, don't know what the fancy copper tube thing is, no clue. The dime tube was way way cool-pretty hi-tec for 19th century in my opinion. Okay--the counterfeit coin- your second one. It almost looked like a large cent to me, but you kept saying it was a counterfeit dollar. I did not see where it said ONE DOLLAR, or did I miss it? And you also signed off with "See you next week" Really?????? Congrats on all the finds! Rob Diggin' Florida w/ Rob!

Stink bug smell is unique! Lol It certainly is. Looks like it could be a sewing machine and the box for nicknacs, buttons, needles. That what I like to think. A family with children a mother would be repairing clothes all the time.

Pulleys could be for window weights?

Another great hunt, Brad. First time I've seen sterling hallmark stamped on the front of a jewelry piece - I wonder why the maker did that?

Wooooow...Congrats..! nice video.,...already done... full support.....thx brother !

15:00 top of a umbrella?

Nice introduction music!!!! & as usual, awesome video & great finds!!!!! Great video brother!!👍

Awesome stuff! I found one side of one of those pullies before too. No clue what it is. That counterfeit is sweet! I've found a seated half and a Mexican 8 reales, but a dollar is incredible. And yeah if it was silver, that would be one valuable coin.. GL&HH

I just checked out your store Brad. Very well crafted leather work. I like the counterfeit coin, but the silver brooch was my favorite. I just love to find old jewelry. Thanks for another great video. see you next time.

the us treasury museum would pay good money for that fake coin

Hmmm 3 pulleys ... our Grandfather Clock has 3 weights ... sooooo...

Radio dial knob pulley? inside of a radio use to have string to move the indicator when you tuned in a radio.

Nice job Brad!!!!!!

One upping fake Silver Dollar great for late night poker!!!, Nice finds Brad!!!; )

Nice video i like if you explain a bit what is and was around you👍🇳🇱

i know the exact smell you speak of, because the bugs WONT STOP COMING INTO MY HOUSE. this has never happened in my entire life, until this year. they have never been this bad, and other people in my area have complained about them as well.

UNUSUAL FINDS BRAD, BUT GREAT IN THEIR OWN WAY, HAPPY FOR YOU. KEEP ON 'TECTIN' CAMILLE AUSTRALIA

Maybe the little box was a tinder box that had flint, steel and materials, (paraffin cotton dry wood shavings, etc) to start a fire. I think that in colonial times matches/lucifers would be a 'luxury' item. GREAT VID, as per usual.

20:30 pulley, maybe for windows? Pretty cool. Great videos. Couple years ago purchased a pinpointer holster from you. Still one of my favorite pieces. It led to a journey in leather craft thats kept me busy for a couple years now. Appreciate it. Have a great weekend/week.

Those 3 little pulleys look exactly like parts from a "ferris wheel" erector set, there is one on ebay, definitely 1960s not 1700s. Someone could have lived there or was camping with their kids back in the 1960s & lost those pieces. Not everything you find is from the 1700s or 1800s, Just saying.

(At 14.00) Why there is a square missing, I don't know. Still the shape and decoration suggests an etui. If your pulleys are brass and were found fairly near the brass crescent from a 'pocket watch', my feeling is a destroyed case clock. The pulleys are too delicate for heavy work.

Brad....have you ever go up to yhe northern parts of Vermont....like Glover? There's a place up that way called the 4 corners

Brad, so much fun going along with you on the hunts. My place is only 120 years old. The sash weight pullies are cast and rough one piece things. The finds look cleaner and balanced. The fake dollar and coin counter are cool. Wonder about a public worker who perhaps used it. Coachman, ferryman etc. Just rambling, thanks again.

Nice finds~ 'stink bugs' are all good, it's the 'kissing bugs' that are an issue~ similar 'twirking' ass but long proboscis nose. Very stealthy and soft steps and 'sharp/intelligent' insects like ticks. Like an s.b.d. fart~ come across a 'nest'? Move on!

Hey Brad, as always you find the most intriguing stuff. The silver pin is a beauty and I love the counterfeit coin. The pulleys may be from an old laundry line. Check out this image: www.etsy.com/listing/499142531/vintage-laundry-line-pulley-metal-pulley

Gret stuff. It's almost time to get your hi-viz jacket out with "HUMAN" on the back. Be careful.

Mmmmm.....let me see...what do I love about your videos? EVERYTHING!! Later dude. ARROW 🎱. 😎🇺🇸❤️

Every video I watch of yours I find myself wishing I could mushroom hunt the location you're at.

Very detailed forgery. Neat clay marble and odd sterling silver jewelry. It seems like that they weren't that wealthy. Thanks Brad.

Hey Brad. After watching your vlog I realized how much effort you put into your songs and well this one is a def winner to me love the beat and love the way you do your channel keep it up brother and stay warm this winter!!! HH - Eric

Those pulleys look identical to the ones on a coil winding machine that I used at work for winding transformers. The machine I used was old but not that old. Probably around the 1930s or 1940s. I’ll have to look and see if I can find one. Nice interesting video.

Pisces brooch. The tip of a sheath for sword, possibly British officer American Revolutionary war

Hey great show Brad, I watched your studio vlog too. Many thanks and you have a great family. This Bass player needs a studio too!!!

Can i go with you bro..?? Next time maybe.. 😉

Ty for the vids fantastic music along in the vid. Could the pulleys be for a clothes lines or something similar. You probably don't know but those dime banks were available up to early 1960's when full took to the bank to deposit. Wow memories you find the fake coin awesome. Knew forgery is prevalent no days but felt bad if they took in good faith got gyped later on $1 was a lot of money. Thank you for the adventure. :)

Sword or knife scabbard chape @ 14:45 . The crown would , in all likelihood makes it British. Type of piece found on a 'small sword' google. I have several British officers small swords and the chape is the correct size. They vary in style and shape but I am certain that is what it is. Nice find!!!

Hint You probably know already but if you have something with a patent number look it up at the US patent office site. You will learn all about it. LFOD !

Awesome hunt Brad and I see you got yourself an AT Max, I think you will be very happy with it buddy as I am with mine :) Great history found and the counterfeit coin is an excellent discovery as you said, a coin of any type is cool but to find a counterfeit is extra special. Enjoyed your vid very much.

We counterfeited British coins in the Colonies during the war, I suspect your dollar may have been of British manufacture, they were still very unhappy with us. The piece with the crown looks like part of a scabbard to me, perhaps the issue of a particular regiment?

It's a dime bank. I had one when I was a kid. Coins went in the slot at the top. There was a cap over the bottom, and a screw in the top. When it was full, you could screw it down and force the bottom cap off, but you couldn't "rob the piggy bank" until it was completely full.

Those little pulleys *might* have been used with a counterweight to pull a door closed automatically, I've seen it done on a LOT of old doors. Just a thought.

The conical piece, given the crown and thistle, which are British symbols for Scotland, could be a decorative piece from a blowpipe on a set of bagpipes, similar to what is found here www.kinnairdbagpipes.com/public/uploads/product_gallery/Kron2B_mouthpiece.jpg. They could be a highland regiment related item as well.

Nice hunt and nice piece of Jewelry. I don't know about you, but I would have a jeweler put a new pin on it and give it to you wife.. how often does she get to wear something 150 years old. I've given my wife some things I have found

I believe the pulley is a part of a window sash counter weight. The rope attached to the sash run through the pulley mortised into the frame, down to the long cast iron weight. My daughters and I love your videos. You have excellent, non-cheesey music and editing. Great stuff man, keep it up.

Could be a window weight pulley

I believe the small brass scabbord is for a letter opener. Great vids! Keep up the good work. Do a lot of ghost town/old ranch detecting here in AZ. Very nice seeing green scenery!

Brad I am late with this comment but I believe the little pullies are probably from something other than window weights. I grew up in a four room house That was built in the early 1800' s and had no indoor plumbing. In 1969 when I was a teenager my parents became more prosperous and built a new house. We tore the old house down and used the lumber to build a shop. I remember retrieving the window weights, pulleys, and rope. The pulleys in that house were much larger but they could come in different sizes. they would have to make a lot of revolutions to open and lower Windows being that small. I had a friend that's father rebuilt all kinds of clocks including grandfather and grandmother clocks it is my guess that these pulleys were used for that. That is only a guess however I think the counterfeit silver dollar is better than owning an original and I find it interesting that so many counterfeits were passed to those poor farm people.

You got the road thing right! Folks who lived up there in the 1800’s and earlier were TOUGH!

There must be been a time when silver wasn't stamped (ie) .925 What if that pulley was for something like a loom?

Hey Brad, you get a thumbs up just for your music alone...

Great way to start a Friday.👍

knew it was a dime bank, have one like it from my dad's coin collection. Good find. Love your adventures. Keep up the good work. I've seen those pully parts but found them out of context as well. I thought they were something to do with a phonograph but doesn't make sense in your situation

That piece of silver jewelry has a safety clasp which were not Popular until the late 1800s along with the word Sterling

Brad, dad and I think there was blue glass or gem in the center of that piece of jewelry! Looks like it was knocked out before you sprayed it with water. Check it out!

great content as usual . thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. take care Love finding marbles

The brass piece with the crown. Looks like the end of a sword scabbard? The little pulley I would think most likely for a clothes line

The coin thing is for rolling coins. There would have been an adjustment screw in the closed end. You put your coins in, say 50 pennies, tightened down the screw to compact them and then slide the paper roller sleeve down along the inside of the tube. The crushed end is missing the "cap", I'll call it. That piece both held the coins in place and provided a guide for the opening of the roller sleeve.

Really enjoy the videos Brad. I find myself holding my breath when you dig up a target. I also appreciate your showing the bits of nature you take time to film, but the coolest thing about the channel is the guy that does the music. Nice job buddy. I'd like to hear about that.

EARTH ANGEL 💔. It could be an early 19th century “needle” case; I have one similar, it is brass and has a cover that goes on the top. It is inscribed “ Princess Charlotte died 1817”. It’s just a guess! 🤔👸

Garrett at max.. Great machine. Lov mine. Garret is an outstanding company and I am very happy with them and their products.

Maybe a needle case for sewing needles? It would have been the lady’s prized position. Mending clothes a necessary skill

Wow the counterfeit is a great find, I have a counterfeit Capped Bust Half and a counterfeit Seated Quarter, my wife has a counterfeit Capped Bust Half as well, you just never know what you are going to dig up!

What a handful of really neat finds! Usually there's one or two good finds but this was pretty much everything! I would love to see the property owners reaction to the finds on this and other hunts. Do you keep them or give them back to the owner
