Long Ago, Someone on the Wrong Side of History Lived Here 

As Vermont declared itself an independent republic in 1777 and remained so until it's admission as the 14th US state in 1791, it was more tolerant of loyalists than the 13 original colonies.

Love the small details in the terrain and lovely presentation. Thanks for sharing and Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter.

I'm British and love American history, these are the best metal detecting videos of the Colonial times I have seen, I love the natural history as well as the historical. Great photography too. 🇺🇸

You have some of the most beautiful camera shots! Your knowledge of the history is always so neat to listen to, keep doing what you're doing, its great!

I totally agree with "Across the Plains". Went to bed last night picturing all the beautiful places you have shown us. Especially, those orange mushrooms!!! Can't remember which video that was 'cause I have watched so many back to 2017. Thank you for sharing with us and preserving our precious history.

You should be on "The History Channel"!!! Besides digging up history you always have interesting stories to go along with each adventure! 👍 👊 👌 😁 🇺🇸

You're so right about slopes. I often find things on them, and the 6 feet leading up to them. Every time you can't help but imagine someone sitting down and resting 200+ years ago. Times change, but when you peel back our technology, and slow down. We find ourselves stopping, and taking a break on that same slope our ancestors once sat upon. Great video and great finds Brad!

I am impressed how you figure. Out items you find. The Jaw harp something may have overlook. Grew up with antiques the pegged tables , Secretary, and Cabinets. Had some of those coins to play at myGrandmothers. How the land claims back is what gets me excited as well. Brad thank you once again sharing your knowledge with us. You are keeping History alive for many now and in the future. Amazed in many schools the lack of History of Our Country is not taught much. Stay safe and glad you ate documenting this.

Keep them coming Brad! The best metal detecting videos on RU-vid, and the only ones I watch anymore. Jeep ZJ, formerly Lost in Space.

Great video keep up the good work Brad . Not only do you find really cool relics but your show is also a history lesson I've learned a lot about the the common hard working folk that made our country what it is . Thank you and God bless

Most of the copper-sized coins ringing up in the high 50s and 60s are colonial counterfeits; I’m pretty sure that’s what you’ve got and it’s a super find. I love those.

I found this fasinating... My family landed in Boston in the late 1600's. Later generations moved to Vermont after the revolution and stayed there until the early 1800's then moved to Canada. So it's cool to hear about loyalists in the Vermont area... Cheers.

Love your videos,can watch them for hours 🤗🤩😍❤️

Another great adventure Brad. Already looking forward to next Friday.

Thanks for sharing another great adventure and hunt. Enjoyed watching and take care.

They just keep getting better and better Brad. Soon, the history channel is gonna come knockin on your door!!!! LOL Keith, In Florida

Brad, you are at the top of your game! Your ability to express why your do this hobby and why it is important to discover and preserve history is bar-none the best of anyone on u-tube. This is perhaps my favorite video of yours. Be true to your self and keep it going!

Thanks , always appreciate your adventures

Whether I go detecting or bottle hunting or hunting Native American artifacts, it's not so much about the finds (though nice finds are awesome!) as it is the actual searching and getting to enjoy a little nature on the way. That's why your channel is so great. Keep them coming Brad. Your a great artist and story teller!

I love your videos....I always feel like I've just had a relaxing vacation after I watch them!

Great video and great information on our growing pains as a new nation.

Great story, wonderful videography, excellent finds - you’re the best!!! I mean that with all my heart and soul!!! Thanks Brad for taking us along 👍👍👍

Awesome adventure, cant wait for more. HH&GL Kris

As usual Brad,another awesome video! Always get me in the detecting mood! Looking forward to your next adventure!

Nice video, I always enjoy them I always feel educated, informed and relaxed after watching them!

Brad appreciate you sharing your videos with us I watch them every Friday morning on my way to work

Thanks for sharing Brad. love your videos. Keep them coming

Well done Brad. Enjoyed the added bit of history.

the wall that got hit by the tree had copings still on.although a bit rough. it shows whoever built it knew dry walling skills.even here in ireland a lot of old walls are missing their copings.

Another great video. Look forward to there each week.

Hi Brad, that old copper at around the 8:49 mark you could maybe get paper and a soft pencil and take a rubbing to see if anythings stands out. A very cool hunt, thank you for sharing. x

Love watching your videos keeping my fingers crossed you find that really awesome find soon

I’m late to view. 36000 views ! Great job brad. Always a pleasure to watch

😋 *I've never lost a button or a spoon in my entire life, and yet it seems like that was the popular thing to do back in colonial days. Lol*

As always beautiful scenery. The history you know always amazes me. I love hearing and learning.

Thanks for taking us with. Still enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work!

Heah Brad, Always the best. The definition and beauty that comes from your videos always give me encouragement and excitement about life. Every time I watch your videos you remind me of the simplicity of life. Thanks.

I can remember my grandfather playing a mouth harp back in the early 1950s

I like your channel. Today was the first time in Vermont. Beautiful state.

Very cool video. I like watching your video's it shows a lot of how it was in the 1700's. Cool stuff....

I have been watching your videos avidly for awhile now. I just want to let you know what a fantastic job you do. I have my own MDing channel so realize the time and effort you must put in. I have a love of history, and the story is just as, or more important than the finds. Great job!

Need to get you out on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Ancient island they are digging up and finding treasure. One metal detector expert there can use help.

Thank You

Love your treks... Thanks!

So Brad your videos are amazing ..... brings me to how I feel when I am in the woods and come across a place to sit & wonder at the beauty , then I start to wonder how many have sat in the exact same place before me .....

Love the stories to your videos. The history and finds are incredible. I truly enjoy your videos. Being a new england native I find that I am truly blessed to live in such a beautiful area. Have a great weekend.

really enjoy your videos and like your thoughts on the landscape, people that lived there thanks brad

Loved the show.

I love the way you have included shots of the foliage & details of the toadstools at the beginning & always love seeing the tumbling streams.

Love your program. Very educational.

Great video..bring on the history Brad!

Another wonderful video, Brad! Interesting finds, I love those old flat buttons. Your woods are so beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for taking us along!

I LOVE it when you make colonial finds!! SOOO exciting!! I love your videos, Brad. You are the best!!

A lot of these items you find may not be dropped or lost, but the house they were left in has just rotted away over the top of them. Like in the first find, you dug through bricks and roof tiles or something to get that trinket. I find it fascinating to think that there may still be old timers alive today (who we will never find) who may have seen some of these sites 60 years ago and maybe back then there were still some posts poking out of the ground or last rotting remnants of buildings visible on the ground. I guess we'll never know, but I know in my short life of 40 years, there are gnarled old, soft boards and posts and things I remember seeing as a child while out wandering, which I took to be ruins or something at the time, which are mostly gone now.

Some new tunes in the video? Great dig as always... you made the effort and that’s what counts. Good mix of early Americana! HH and thanks for sharing

I can't believe you tried passing off a very rare, fossilized macaroni noodle as part of a mouth harp! Lol.....new to your channel and hooked

I'm a loyalist of your channel 😁

I cannot wait for your videos each week yet we all know that I must and I do ☺💖 Great finds in another great Vermont mountain location. I am so glad I found your channel; you're videos are always great to watch for the history and Vermont beauty, as well as; your great relic finds. Your stills and videography are top-notch. You are awesome at what you bring to us. Thank you 👍😀

Another good one Brad thanks from the UK

Another cool video. Thanks Brad

Very educational. Thank you very much for sharing that with us. Keep up the great work. See you on the next hunt Brad.

We love your videos and can't wait until Friday's to see what you find. My kids said to tell you that was not a jaw harp but in fact it is a 200 year old petrified macaroni noodle. 😀 again thank you for your videos.

I've sure learned a lot from you. Thank you,

Really enjoy your videos. It's the combination of the scenery, the finds and the stories of the area x

Thank you Brad for another great video your freind Jonathan from Arkansas

Brad, hard to believe you’ve never found a GW button, with all of the items you’ve found. Your definitely over due. I bet it’s gonna happen soon for you. Good luck! Still enjoying your videos from down here in Southwest Tennessee. ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awesome finds. Until next time.

Awesome Brad.

I machine tungsten steel for a living, and have little chance of doing what Brad does ! (for now) So I watch these video's of GMMD - I bought the CD of the music, which is awesome ! but the main thing besides all the buttons, - finding all the early coins, has got me interested in these compared to the many years of being a Morgan silver dollar collector, Brad has found coins that I never knew about, like the nova constellation coin, the Ben Franklin coin and many others ! really cool stuff ! thanks Brad !

Is that a bit of Gangsta Grass ya got going....love it!

Cool finds...it's always nice to find buttons great video Brad thanks for taking us along! ✌️

Another excellent video. Keep them coming.

The loyalist buttons were a new one on me and two, at that! It occurred to me that a peroxide solution may give you an opportunity to identify your coppers. Using a microwave bowl, warm hydrogen peroxide in the microwave. it just needs to be warm. drop the coppers into the bowl and let soak. you will likely see a reaction almost immediately. occasionally remove the coins and rub gently with a cotton swab. this isn't an instant fix. it may take a day for you to get where you want to be. rinse well. rub the coin with whatever coin preservative you prefer. I like Blue Ribbon myself. Great adventure and eagle eye finding an almost completely erased homesite.

As to talk around Vermont woods n find cool stuff,, nice job

Good video Brad. Love the history you share

Well done Brad!

Hey Brad I love detecting videos, and there's a whole lot of em out there. The reason I choose yours over most is production. The music, the visuals of native flora/fauna and the overall serene aesthetic keeps me coming back.

Very interesting to see the history between the British settlers and the stubborn loyalty to the Crown . Those old homesteads could throw up some interesting bottles and jugs from that period .Thanks for sharing .

Awesome show

Hiya Brad; Love your cinematography of the various landscapes. Very jelly of the beauty you get to enjoy. Keep up the great work!

Good digs Brad! Enjoyable as always!! Have a great blessed weekend!😁😁

I love you vlog style. You have such a wonderful appreciation for history! Thank you for creating these great videos. Green Mountain and the Hoover Boys are the very best on You Tube!

Thank you for another great adventure and finding pieces of history !

You would flick it ! I had found a complete one in an old box in the house that grew up in . I found out that it use to belong to one of my uncles . I'm not sure where it is now . I think it was given back to him many years ago . As I was around 10 or 11 at the time I found it . I'm now 64 . Nice find !

First video of yours I've stumbled across. Loved it! You have an infectious enthusiasm for objects many people wouldn't look twice at. History is everywhere in everything. Well, almost. Anyway, keep up the great work, I'm off to watch more :)

Beautiful scenery like always and the history of the place HH my friend that's the reason we do it to keep the history alive 👍

Great job! Keep’m comin’

Great opening, great episode!

Great historical finds there🤗 so interesting👍 thanks from Scotland 🙏🙏

Beautiful! Really enjoy the scenery, music and the history! You are so talented! Tell Eddie we miss him!

Great hunt!

Brad, again, another incredible video. Watched weeks ago, forgot to comment!!! Diggin' Florida w/ Rob!

You found a nice assortment of American history. Thanks for sharing!

I love that site. So much area to discover. Thanks for sharing.

My Bennington Vermont Draper family had both Patriots and a few Loyalists during the Revolutionary War. Most fought for freedom from the British and the few Loyalists lost their lands and had to flee to Nova Scotia. I was very interested in your story and getting to see both glimpses of the landscape, along what you discovered. Thank you.

Love those buttons even if they’re not the loyalist buttons that you were hoping for. Great hunt, thanks for sharing!

Green Mountian is a great Metal detecting site with very interesting Videos. And it has got me back into it, so I just purchased a Garrett 400. Will retire in a couple of years, and the Garrett should keep me busy.

Well done Brad another brilliant explore, the mountains just seem to keep on giving & getting more beautiful every video I watch of yours, Can't wait till next week Fridays are my fave day thanx Brad :>)

Love yr work Brad, thanks for sharing your adventures with us 👍

Love the history I’m from New Brunswick Canada great job
