I Will NEVER Top This | The GREATEST Metal Detecting Find of My LIFE 

Sir, lemme tell ya. I've been swinging one for 40 + years. Yours is prolly my top one or two channels to watch. Why? Adventure! I'm surrounded by miles of concrete & you get to hike into America's past! NOTHING cooler than that! The finds you make are of course awesome but the scenery and again, THE ADVENTURE in finding them is the cool part for me. I envy NO man but if I did... Well. You get the point! Love your vids & will keep watchin as long as you make em. Would LUV to know the tectors AND settings you're using too!! Thanks!!!

Thank you for carrying out the trash that you came upon. Much respect to you!

Of all the detectorist channels I subscribe to, I enjoy yours the most. Your videos are down to earth, honest, and not over the top. Thank you for what you do and I look forward to the next. The 8 Reale was an awesome find. Congrats

I waited in suspense all week to find out what you uncovered...and I was not disappointed! Amazing find! Congratulations!

I have been waiting for this one. What a monster find! Fantastic. Imagine a fat silver sitting up there in the puckerbrush for almost 300 years until you stumbled over it. That's what we love about this hobby!!

Congratulations. You put out a great product. You don't bore us with digging... don't whine or complain (much)... great camera handling... lovely flora and fauna images... views of beautiful green mountains and rivers... you keeping us involved while you do all the work 😊... respect for the property and owners. But the BEST thing is your humility and appreciation for the smallest find... and your love of Vermont History and Curiosity about Colonial life.

Brad, as usual you cruising around the RU-vid universe and stumble upon a channel like yours which is just outstanding.... Your conversational style, attention to detail, focus on the beauty around you, and I imagine many many hours of editing really shows! I always go away after watching an episode inspired and somehow calmer and totally appreciate your dedication and effort!! Stellar work!

YEP.... The journey IS the destination....can't replace that feeling!!!

EARTH ANGEL 😇 🤔. 😮 OOOOOH, when I read your intro earlier this week, I just KNEW it had to be a REAL!!!!!😆 BUT this is “GOLDEN” for you! What a find! CONGRATS 🍾🎉🎊🎈!!! THE Spanish “ Dollar “! Wonderful dig and super relics of a past not so easily forgotten!!!!CELEBRATE!😮👍

Huge Congratulations Brad! The unexpected finds are always such a rush.

Congrats Brad. You deserve it with all all the work you put in.

Brilliant find! i cant help feel the sadness and stress losing it may have cause the original owner. but fantastic find.

Dang!! What an epic find. Really raising the bar with this one. I bet your still picking it up at the house and looking at it in awe. I’ve been waiting all week in suspense to watch this video... well worth the wait. Thanks for producing videos and taking us along with you on your hunts. Pretty much everything you find I may never experience so it’s a great pleasure to be able to come along through your videos.

Been waiting fo this all week!! Eeeekkk... Anticipation! Volume up and tea is on

I think the detecting gods rewarded you for walking away from the new homesite without cherry picking the high tones. That Spanish silver is a monster.

So great to tag along on your (.my opinion) quality life journey! We are so happy for you and so blessed to be able to tag along. Congratulations 🎉 and we can’t wait for more.

Mystery item:. Looks like a clock hand to me!

Excellent production quality. The music is just beautiful. You're elevating metal detecting to art, Brad. Keep it up!

What a day! One you’ll never forget, I can’t even imagine finding such a spot such as you did loaded with high tones, with plans to return and then find an 8 reale in your way out! Congratulations, I’ve watched all of your videos and subscribed at about the 3k subscribers mark, and I must say your deserving of your finds. Lotta hard work filming and editing. Much appreciated, Keep doing what you do... your good at it!thanks for sharing! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great Find! WOW! And - you get to go back and dig all of those high tones at that discovered home site... So awesome!

I was having a weak day detecting a cornfield so i went around picking up those balloons that were littered in the field. Found a pouch full of coins including silver dollars about 10in deep under one.

What a gorgeous little brook @6:45! Most definitely a 'Bucket Lister' find for you! Great hunt Brad, thanks for taking us along once again!

Definitely was worth the wait. Your passion and hard work pays off sometimes. Congratulations

Well if ever anybody deserved that coin you did,nobody works harder to give us an insight into the past than you.We have our own history here in Scotland but they just can't touch you.So I prefer your videos and what I have learned along the way..So enjoy your magical find.It really was a WoW day , can't wait to go back to the other house that wasn't recorded and all those bleeps.Thankyou for sharing.😁😁

the find of a lifetime my new favorite,the nature views are great because most people would never see them except those of us that go in the woods,or watch your videos.thanks

Really enjoy watching you dig! Your respect for nature and history just boosts my enthusiasm for YOURS when you find something awesome! It's so cool to think that NO ONE has touched some of those things for hundreds of years!

I got up at 4 AM to see this Brad! And it was certainly worth the wait. I did figure correctly what you discovered, LOL and am thrilled for you. Awesome!

Great find! I found one of those Spanish coin dated 1820 when I was setting my power pole in 1982. The confederatcy was hording up Spanish silver. Mine was a 2R. I can still remember how my heart was skipping when I found it. Brad

What an amazing find! Well done! That hinge thing looks like a clock hand.

I love the way you add the interesting scenery, wildlife, and plants you find along the way.

Congratulations on the find! I use to collect coins and those are huge coins with lots of silver in them...Also, some great video footage of the landscape....mushrooms, the waterfalls and such...thanks very much and look forward to your next video.....

Finding a huge 1700's Silver Coin deep in the woods on an old cellar hole site - that's as good as it gets ! A big congrats on a spectacular find Brad !

clock hand. what a day! loved the intro tune.

Super Congrats! An AWESOME 8 Reale... and an item on my bucket list! From your finds, there should be a fair amount of finds yet to recover.... you just never know! Wow, blown away, bet your heart was pounding all the way home! Thanks for sharing and HH

A double wow for the 8 riyal! Eddie will be sorry he wasn't with you this day! I think your 'mystery item could be the hand of a clock? Would have been a treasure possession in the day, but for a family who even owned a Spanish 8 riyal, who knows what they may have had in the home? Some of your best music to start the video off! Have a great day!

Congratulations on your find! One for the books! What amazes me with most your videos is you’re out on mountain tops in remote areas. I have learn a little bit of early american lifestyle history from you. Truly a great find.

I'm so freaking happy 4 you! super congrats on a super find! another awesome hunt! give us an update on the coin! a quick segment on it! I'm super jelly lol

Great day in the mornin'!!! That 8 reales is a find of a lifetime! Congratulations, you lucky dog!! You've earned it!

Brad, HUGE congrats on the find of a lifetime! VERY happy for you! Sometimes the larger a high conductive target is the the worse the tone sounds. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but I've ran some tests on different metals before and have had that result. Sometimes big silver is a large, crappy, thunky sound. Especially if the angle is weird. Have you been able to tell if it's authentic yet? Even if it's an old counterfeit, it's just as historic. Sometimes the old counterfeits are actually worth more that the real ones. (at least when it comes to some of the early US coins) A long time ago I sold a counterfeit seated dime for about $50 when the real coin would have been worth about half (it wasn't a detecting find or I would have kept it)

Again, time Well spent, your videos carry me away to the woods in the 1700's, what an adventure! Thank you!

Something about you walking away from that unknown home site towards the end. I think the Relic Gods rewarded you for not being greedy ; ) congrats on an amazing find

Congratulations on hitting that huge Spanish silver! Find of a lifetime! Great hunt, thanks for sharing! GL and HH!

I love your channel! I love the nature shots. I love your down home manner! BUT most of all I love your unique historical finds! I'm wondering if that one item is the short hand of a clock. Maybe grandfather clock. The Spanish 8 reale (sp?) is awesome! And your other finds were incredible including the big shoe buckle. You seek in a fruitful area basically untouched by metal detecting peeps. Of a time long ago in America. More, more I say. And try to video a full acceptable time span like this one. I never grow bored! I hope you read our comments.

Wow Brad !!! Hard to top that !!! Have to tell you something . Your photography is beautiful ! Always top knoch! Thanks for the ride . Really enjoy you taking us along with you . Look forward to seeing you every week!!

Cant wait to share this video with my friends, fantastic find man. and magical cinematography.

Congratulations on your outside your bucket list discoveries. What a great find, happy for you. All discoveries were outstanding. Excellent video. See you on your next.

Congrats on the 8 reale silver coin. As far as that mystery piece, it reminds me of a brass decorative plate found on old muzzle loaders. Just a guess.

Congratulations Brad! So happy for you!

What an incredibly amazing find!!! Definitely a find of a lifetime! I’m sure someday you will even top that find. Maybe find a cashe of Gold coins. Best of luck & thanks so much for sharing! HH ~ Gypsy

Wow, awesome find, Best ever !Can’t wait to see you checkout the other area you found and are holding off on ! Hurry and get to it !!!

Naughty making us wait! You looked like you had seen a ghost in the teaser.

You are a pleasure to watch, I just calm down and enjoy your soothing manner! Thank you for sharing and big congrats on that beautiful Spanish coin! You’re truly a happiness that puts smiles on people’s faces!

Oh Brad ! What a super find ! A piece of 8, ( 8 Reale coin) From the profile of the Spanish King, It looks to be Carlos III. The Pillars of Hercules, the old and new world, as well as, the Mexico City Mint Mark are clearly visible on the reverse of the coin. From the oldest Mint in North America ! A bucket lister and a half ! A good United States One Dollar Type Set Collection of Silver Dollars, In my opinion, should Always begin with the Spanish 8 Reale and end with the most modern One Dollar Coin of today ! The person who lost that coin, lost some major purchasing power in their life ! Congratulations Brad and thank you for sharing that wonderful bucket list find my friend :-))

glad you were able to share the experience with us... great find!

Nice find, Thank You for sharing the hunt ....Good Hunting! Could your unknown item be a clock part or maybe to a weathervane?

Congrats! Happy you get to go back. It'll be nice to see what else you discover.

Congratulations great find. I live in the Snowy Mountains of NSW Australia. Similar sort of climate to you but reversed of course! We are in the depths of winter.Some of your footage of scenery,like the white fungi on the log in front of the stone wall today is spectacular. Keep up the good work, can't wait till your next video.

CONGRATS Brad !!! I am Smiling for you

Congratulations and that is what it is all about !. Thanks for sharing and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.

Great finds and the scenery and music are captivating. Thanks!

Before he washed it off I was like, That's a "Piece of Eight". Sure enough it was.

After you posted your teasing trailer, I KNEW it must be something special, and it did not disappoint! You had an all around good day, you found some other nice things, that are great finds by themselves. Congratulations Brad, you work hard to get whatever you find, you deserved it!

Just a guess, but that unidentified pointed object looks to me like the hand of a clock ...

AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Thank you for sharing.

You know its a big find when you say “oh my God” many times😂 Congrats a great hunt and silver find.

thanks for clearing up the rubbish,, you deserve to find the wonderful things.. you are a nice genuine guy thanks for sharing..have metal detect in the loft just need the courage to use it... in Scotland..

awesome find!.....by the way, nice reverse jinx, "The GREATEST Metal Detecting Find of My LIFE"....when you find that gold coin later this year don't forget this post

Brad, a great video. This is not the best time of my life and when i come home after one challenge or another, i love to have a cup of tea and watch one or two of your pieces. Its a calming experience and an uplifting one. Keep making them.

Hi, congratulations on your excellent silver find, really impressive. Your other finds are very similar to many finds that we have here in England, ie engraved tombac buttons, worn coppers, buckles, but that silver is a rare and really top class find. Your two pin buckle would date around 1720 to 1790 and is similar to a couple that I have found in the North of England. Really enjoyed this video, all the best, GL&HH, Ian.

Wow 8 realest great find!

Congrates, cool old coin! 😄 The Objekt at 8:00 could be a clock hand, as allready was mentioned. Nice vid. Thumb up. Greetings from Germany. GL&Happy Hunting Flo

The tease was worth the wait! I would have been screaming! WOW. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy😃. I so enjoy every video you publish. Congrats Brad. Can’t wait to see what you find in the new spot

Awesome video been looking forward to it Spence the other notice and have a great day dude.

Sweet find my friend. Will be hard to top that. Looking forward to your next hunt there. GL&HH Eric

Damn dude I Thought my 4 reales I got a few weeks ago was big congrats from the Brotherhood Metal Detecting club in New Jersey

My first thought when i saw the lead nail was....ship builder or a seafarer. I think the piece of eight and the large ornate buttons are a strong argument for my case, anyway congratulations on your find! Love your videos too.

That chunk of silver is an amazing find but I have to admit I am intrigued by the lead nail. If you find more information please share it with me. Again another great job editing the video.

Wow, congratulations on your superb find! The Gods were with you that day, for sure. Great video...Love your B-roll as well. I find your videos and your voice very relaxing and ofcourse very interesting! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us...GL and HH.🙏🏼🍀❤️

Mantel Clock dial 8:00

Great finds! You are so right about the balloons, I work as a Ranger on Fire Island and tons of them wash up, terrible. Can't wait to see what you find when you go back!

CONGRATULATIONS SILVER!!!, Nice a nice batch of Treasures thanks glad you got out finally!!,maybe a colonial joke nail?!, Worth it watching today!!

That was a great watch! Beautiful vid, well done as always! Congrats on the awesome finds!

Hey! Those are oyster mushrooms on that log Brad.I know you're not into mushroom collecting but those are delicious. Cant believe how old the stuff is you're finding.Lucky to pull an Indian head in California.That Spanish coin is unbelievable! Wonder why it only rung 79? Anyway still Smokey as hell here Firefighters by the bajillions have descended into my little valley of Potter Valley and it's great to see them! Cant hardly describe the feeling but it makes one emotional. Anyway those mushrooms looked fresh so if you hurry ya might get them before the worms do! Terrance

I also like it when you play music while you are walking as it help pass time easier !

Excellent video, finds like those are why i like your channel the best. I always wonder how the heck Spanish silver made its way into the mountains of Vermont. That mystery item looks like a broken hand of a clock to me. I also enjoy how you address viewer comments in your videos, it shows you are interactive with your fans, and that makes me feel more connected with your videos. Great start to a friday once again.

Holy........Wow.......just wow.

When it comes to ticks, the only ones that can give you Lyme disease are the super tiny Deer ticks....the big ones are wood ticks and they are harmless Awesome find today!!! Love the channel!

Cool. Find. 😎

Awesome way to spend happy time ,must be very hard to leave at the end of the day .Love what you find from so long ago

You need to buy an ultrasonic cleaner for your finds. That's what I use.

Amazing Content!!. Your Treasure Hunting gets me threw my day.I just wanted u to know that you truly help people in your own way and It’s very relaxing and fun to see the videos as well as the little history’s on the coins,buckles,tacks etc....you know..Treasure.Keep up the good work.

That's freaking amazing man.huge congratulations.

I've been saving to watch this one and I am glad I did. All I can say is that the forest is saying thank you for cleaning it up and not digging the new spot yet. Great finds and an amazing coin.

That's one hell of a fine Brad my wife has one but she inherited along with a bunch of other coins most we don't even know what they are there's even one that has a guy looks like the Devil with a pitchfork on it

Beautiful scenery with the waterfall and fingi. Great find in the huge coin!

Wow, congratulations how can you be so calm about finding that huge silver? My wife Brenda worries about you being alone in the woods.

This is one my favorite videos what a find congratulations👍🏼

Great video bro congrats

Congratulations! That find is WELL diserved!

Oh man, the piratical "pieces of eight"-- literally! Truly an astonishing find. Also loved that big gorgeous shoe-buckle; it's so strange how many of those got lost, considering how the people who wore them valued them. Maybe they came loose while they were on horseback?
