We take advantage of a break in the rain to metal detect a beautiful abandoned river-side home from over 150 years ago. Tshirts, Stickers & more: www.GMMD.us Original Music by Brad Martin
Your videos are an amazing blend of calm nature and interesting history. Not only do i get beautiful nature scenes that are shot brilliantly, but i also get fascinating historical finds with calming beautiful music. Great work Brad. I appreciate all that you do. I also like the history you tell us about the items. Its very educational.
I find a lot of wheat pennies with holes shot through them usually in the early forties. makes me think the sons coming home on leave from the war showing off for their dad
You would think you have a camera crew out there with you. Beautifully planned shots, great editing, love the music. It's so relaxing to watch your videos.
Great morning hunt Brad, LOVED that "Gold Color" button you found, some awesome finds for sure! Keep your powder dry, oh, and warm! Cheers til the next!
Love your channel and videos! Your Vermont woods are so gentle and welcoming....thanks again for the great discoveries recorded. I metal detect myself but mostly older homes and parks and appreciate learning about early pioneers in your State.
I recently found a "mystery pulley" similar to yours. At first, I thought it was an old yo-yo, but when I scraped more mud off, there was fishing line still attached. It was an old reel.
Good hunt, in spite of the rain with lots of lovely buttons and unusual little finds - was enjoyable, thanks - They say The Big Snow's acoming...! 🕸😉🐾⛏
Nice find mate let's hear from Tasmania love detecting for the old stuff myself I found an 1877 shot penny big English copper don't get them very often mine was shot with a musket ball
Great video as always!!! I always look forward to your uploads as even though I'm from the UK with a metallic history dating back 1000's of years I'm fascinated with early American history, in particular the Colonial Period & Civil War. The thought of setting out over the Atlantic to the unknown and starting a new life with the bare essential is extremely interesting to a history enthusiast and the Civil War was brutal. Hope you have a great Christmas and happy new year of exciting finds!
Lovely hunt ,You would love Scotland. Best button ever.;. It's like a travelog your video's breath taking scenery beautiful narration ,and lots of information on who lived there determined by what you find. Love your videos. Say thanks to Mike with all the pockets. Thanks.😁😁😁🤗🤗
That pulley reminds me of the parts of the return mechanism of a typewriter carriage. My very first job when I was in High School (1971) was cleaning typewriters.
That was a .22rf hole. I have shot a bunch of them. R.22rf rifles from that period had longer barrels than they do, today. My M27 Winchester had a 27 inch barrel, so it developed more velocity than the bob-tail barrels do today. I have even shot holes through quarters.
Hey . Great video. I metal detect, mudlark and magnet fish here in N.C. USA. My name is Dirt Digging Granny. I dig with my young grandson. I hope to have my own channel one day soon. Keep the great videos coming. I love watching them!
I sure enjoy your videos! Counting the weeks until you're back on every Friday. Nice finds there for you & Mike. Thanks for taking us all along with you. I was a little worried that you weren't gonna get rained on but you pulled it off! LOL Wishing a very Merry Christmas to you & your's!
Great relic hunt Brad. that looks like a great site to revisit again and again. I had to laugh at Mike when he started pulling finds from everywhere, he looked like a xmas tree of relics lol. A very nice mix of artifacts. Thanks
Great video! I cleaned out a house left for 17 yrs from deceased woman. I found a few old coins similar to first big one. I bet it's so much more exciting finding them left in woods by the owner..looking forward to more vids!
One of your little finds is probably a ladies' GARTER...to hold up stockings. They were small and delicate like that little piece you found. The coins that were shot were probably thrown into the air...then shot. My dad used to do that with coins!
Past month my whole life has turned upside down!! It was a breath of fresh air to watch this video!! As always thanks again!!! The pulley looks like one from this antique clock I own, Ogee (sp?) it works with two large weights slowly going down activating the clock. Worth a look! Thanks again!
At 3:05 the tiny brass thing I believe is a frame for a movable gauge or dial that would for example, on a calendar clock, frame a number in the center and then the two points would point to the day and month. The frame would be on a movable disc, and each day you would move it. Kind of like a perpetual calendar.... I took a photo of it and sent it to a friend to see if they can identify it. I'll let you know when I hear anything.... Nancy
Great Vid! Love that scenery! I've only found IHP's with buckshot hits so Wheats blown through like that are a great find. It's a stretch, but that pulley wheel thingy could be from a yarn spinning wheel. Keep up the great detecting. I'm terribly jealous! BIG THUMBS UP!
Once again, BEAUTIFUL scenery, great editing (raindrop hits mic in 2...1...!), perfect music, especially considering you composed and recorded it yourself(!), and fascinating finds! You have incredible luck!! 🍀🍀🍀 Thanks for bringing us along. Oh, and last thing, thank you for editing out whatever Mike's story was about the axe head!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I think I have see all your videos. Can't wait until time to do weekly again. I am surprised no TV network has picked up on your show. Always interesting.
Way to big and crude for that I think.My father repaired clocks including floor models, and I never saw anything like that come out of one ,sorry.No I believe it is from a paddle grinding wheel.I have seen pulleys just like that on them, they held the drive belt.🙂
what a fun video. I wonder how close the person was that shot those pennies... I've seen people shoot at metal slugs as show off targets. LOL. But never pennies when I was a kid a penny could buy you a piece of stick candy or a couple pieces of bubble gum. Boy I'm really ageing myself... LOL... Looks like y'all had a good hunt for the short time y'all were there... Well thank for sharing this video with us out here in YT land... Be blessed.. BBE..
I enjoy your videos. I was so excited just this week digging my first Colonial Copper here in NC. There was not a lot of Colonial activity in central NC. It is a Woods Hibernia Half Penny 1722-1724. It was identified by the unique Britannia images on the back
Thanks for taking us along. Have you ever found Native American artifact on your travel's? I love finding those items. Last year while detecting our garden, I found a few old cents, but as leaving I found a beautiful arrow head. I know that in New England most artifacts are long gone. I look forward to your videos every Friday. Take care, . . . Winter is coming. Brad
+Brennan Gauthier Your right Brennan there not gone, just harder to find. There was more colonial intrusion in New England 300 years ago driving out the native americans. Here in SW Virginia 300 years ago there was large bands of native americns in this area. Some 150 years ago. In my 1 acre garden I have found jars of artifacts, including toahawks, spear point, scrapers. I wish my health was better I'd be searching all the time.
Thanks for coming along! I've yet to find anything Native, but it's at the top of my list for 2019! Winter has been here, this video was filmed mid-October!
Wow you guys did great for one day. The shot pennies are awesome Ive never seen anyone find one before. Its kind of like somebodys antique bragging rights for being a dead eye....very cool!
Thankyou for sharing the beautiful woods once more. If they had bras in the 1850s I would have said the first item looked like the little buckles you get on bra staps, with a bit missing, but I think that they were still wearing liberty bodices & combinations & corsets & things of that ilk so maybe it is something that a little strap passed through that was to do with a hat or something like that as it is not robust enough to do with anything more sturdy such as horse tack. The only other thing I can think of is it could have been to take a strap on a leather book cover for a family Bible.
Don't know if you ever ended up IDing that brass pulley wheel but I'm pretty sure it's from a Victorian-era roller window shade. The holes are where it would've been nailed to the wooden dowel the shade wrapped around. The channel around the circumference is for the cord. I've found these at 1800s homesteads too.
Hi, Brad, nice video as always! I believe the little buckle - shaped item could be a piece from a lady's garter. And the pulley looks like it's out of an old clock. I absolutely love the basket - weave button, that back mark is awesome! And the small lead object sure looks like part of a broach to me. That's my opinion, anyway! :-) Waiting for the next one!
I coukdn t tell for sure about the back of that "broach". There was a spot to the right that looked like it had an opening in it. If so, it might have been worn on a chain or a small ribbon. Maybe as a necklace of some kind? If worn as a broach, with a small ribbon through there, that could be pinned to the garmet and the medallion would have hung below it.
Green Mountain Metal Detecting you have a lot of people commenting on your videos. it is nice of you to take the time to reply and I’m sure like many others I appreciate you taking the time to do so have a good day Brad
Me and my friend found a load of those pullys in a field in Scotland all brass ones identical to yours the other one is slightly bigger. They polished up great
time stamp 15:30 possibly a pulley for a peddle-driven sewing machine... sometimes they used a thick narrow leather strop that attached to the drive assembly. until they invented rubber ones...
