After a rough start to the day, what happens next will surely be a highlight of the year! Original music by Brad Martin www.GMMD.us / greenmountainmetaldete... / green.mountain.metal.d...
One of your best hunts, I’m always floored by the vast history of early America the popularity of detecting videos is bringing out the fact that history isn’t boring it’s actually creating more interest in a culture that has amnesia.
loved the area- The more trees and farther off the main path the better...I will often follow game trails deep into the woods to find that glory spot we all desire..have found 7 cabins this year from the 1800's.....Thanks for sharing........Dig,Dig,Dig
Absolutely one of my favorite channels. It can be a tough and grueling hobby but the possibilities of finding things like these make it worth the effort. Great stuff, guys.
I really enjoy watching your videos! Nugget Noggin was my number 1 detector on RU-vid but I just recently found your channel! Nugget Noggin is now my second favorite detector. Need I say more... I look forward for each video.🙋💰💰👍🙌
Hey fellas. Half water half white vinegar, spray bottle. Takes the itch away instantly. Used this all summer. Got some land in Vt. Love this state. Great vids. Thanks.
Enjoyed the 2 guys from Green who were metal detecting in the bush full of bugs. They found a few old coins and a couple old buttons. Good clear voices. Thks😀
That indeed was a true morel.The true morel has a top that that attaches to the stem.The false morel which is poison resembles a umbrella where it attaches to the stem.You past up a tasty shroom there.If you find one there are usually more of them as they typically grow in small patches.Slice them long ways soak them in water with a bit of salt to make sure they are bug free for a bit.Some butter and some drakes fry mix in a skillet and you won't be passing those up ever again!
I'm never ceased to be amazed that you can sink a shovel into such soft soil. Looks like wonderful layers of decomposition of leaves,plants, and wood debris. Where I live your shovel would most likely hit limestone bedrock! Great finds. Enjoyed the video.
More and Higher percentage DEET ! I love your No Nonsensitive, Informative presentations and No Rah - Rah Si Boom Bah like most other Metal detecting videos. You make watching your videos a pleasure !
Great fines as always.You should go back to the second spot and work it over some more, but remember to bring the bug spay. I loved the opening shot with the tree with the hole in it.
Well...nothing short of a hazmat suit would have spared u from that bug onslaught...yet u persevered and got your treasure reward...AWESOME SILVER. Kudos!!!! Wooohoooo!
WOW Brad & Eddie ! ! Your second site and the people who lived there, during the date spread of your finds, were witness to some truly amazing history. So my friends, A fictional story is in order, which could of been ! In the early 1730s, upon their arrival in Boston, the Dunham and McDougle families, heard of Lands being granted to the north by the British Governor of the New Hampshire Colony. Moving north they petitioned for and were granted land at the southern end of what was known as the Green Mountains. They moved with their belongings and live stock by oxen cart and wagon on a very hard journey. They established their farms on the site you now hunt, in this video. During the, almost 100 years, of family history at those farms, generations of those early families spread out into the local area. They became witness to the troubles between the French with their native population allies. and the British. They heard of the building of the French Fort and subsequent battles of the 7 years war. They then resisted the encroachment of New York Settlers on to their lands. Subsequently they heard of the problems in Boston with the British Crown and the beginnings of the protest that became the American Revolutionary War. They watched and participated in the establishment of the Republic of Vermont, and then the admittance of Vermont as the 14th State of the fledgling United States of America. During all those times Dunham and McDougle family members were active participants in the many battles of that period. In the early 1800s, The families, being fed up with the bugs, LOL , and the hard life in Southern Vermont. decided to Move west, So, in 1828 most of the decedent generations of the original Dunham and McDougle families, packed their belonging and left their Vermont Farms in the western movement known as Manifest Destiny. They Headed to Albany, New York and boarded canal boats, where they were pulled west by a mule named Sal on the Erie Canal. They found themselves in the Great Lakes region and points beyond, and into the saga that is United States History. :-))
Now, this is my kind of metal detecting! Setting here in the AC watching the two of you swat bugs. I always enjoy seeing the two you working the woods. Very nice finds and congratulations of the silver. Well done.
Great video Brad, you guys really toughed it out with the bugs! I don't know if I could have but you made it all worth it! Excellent finds! Love how you compile the vid's too. Great mix of detecting, explaining and nature shots. Keep up the awesome work!
Nice joint adventure with good finds for both you and Eddie! That piece of jewelry looks masculine to me - maybe a chain for a pocket watch. Good for you Brad in finding that piece of Spanish silver - amazing!! The musical score accompanying that find is worth noting! As always, thanks for sharing!
Dirtflicker ❤️I agree. They seem like great guys. I love watching these guys and Hans from Germany. I think his channel is Terra Germane- something like that.
True morel mushrooms the cap is attached to the stem in false morels the cap is not attached. True morels are hollow, false are filled with cottony fibers. I would Love to find and eat a nice big morel like that.
Glad the bugs didn't carry you off to feed! Good move!! You found some coinage plus SILVER!!! In the folage of green look fantastic !! It's nice to have a good hunting day minus the bugs of woods!!!
Awesome find, 1739 Spanish Colonial coin, (M) Manuel De Leon - 91.7 % silver. The hole in it suggests that it was attached to a neck band and worn as jewelry. It probably fell off and was lost until you dug it up hundreds of years later. It’s worth at least a couple hundred $’s in that condition.
Hey Brad, excellent hunt! Congrats on all the coins! 12:30 That stuff that resembles candy is an amoeba-like growth called Wolf's Milk or "toothpaste slime".
What a fabulous video! Congratulations on your treasure finds!!! You really made a big sacrifice to pull it off. No pain, no gain 😉💕. Thanks for making these family friendly videos. God Bless and Happy Hunting!
Amazing to find cut copper coins and consider what their value must have represented in order for people to physically chop them up. And then to find a dropped silver!! That person must have freaked out!
Awesome fine on the silver coin but the half cent piece was common in the 1800's United States Post Office issued a half cent stamp with Martha Washington on it.
Wowo, guys! Killer day! Super congrats on the 1 reale Spanish coin! Good job braving the bugs. That's not ever easy to do when they are that thick, but worth it when there is 1700s Spanish silver as a reward!
SPANIISH SILVER!! I’m still looking for mine, congrats on that find. Much more interesting than my even older KGs, how cool is that, totally worth all the blood donated to hungry insects! , maybe I’ll find something as neat as your (ancient for New England) silver, a friend has invited me to his wood lot which has a colonial road passing through it AND a cellar hole. Can’t wait for next week. Do you get excited at each new spot, not quite sure what you may find?
Imagine the people who homesteaded there with the rough winters. Have you found any areas with old steam operated logging equipment. The northeast was clear cut twice.
Hey Guys..in the July issue of "Lost Treasure" magazine there is a great article on Vermont..and specifically the Green Mountains..written by..Pat Hughes...give it a read..great article as is the magazine...might be able to read it online if you do not subscribe...but no articles on bug prevention..lol..
Congrats on the 1739 spanish coin! That is really old for Vermont. Makes you wonder how the heck it got there. I assume you and Eddie will be going back for more when the bugs are gone.
Nice new pants Brad, no knee holes. Invest in bug spray or bring dryer sheets, they ward off bugs. You can wear one under your hat. Nice finds, especially the bracelet, George II and reale. Let us know what the mystery half cent is.
OMG.......the bugs! You guys are tough! Congrats on the awesome finds. I'm glad you were rewarded for your visit to bug hell! LOL Enjoyed the adventure! See you next time. HH
