My mother makes Stainglass windows using a tile grout. So she Uses old windows. Instead of leaving those pieces of glass and ornate pottery, why not keep them and grout a six pane window with them? Call it “a window into the past“ I collected Seaglass from all over Scotland and England for that very purpose. Beautiful
Many years ago, a friend of my father found a 1.2 carat diamond wedding ring at the bottom of a pond that was a popular swimming hole in the 1930s and 40s. He posted a photo of the ring in a local news paper, with the words, "is this your ring". A couple days later he got a call from a woman in her 80s who said she lost that ring while swimming in that pond. He took the ring to her house, where she made him tea, then showed him a photo of her husband in his Army Uniform, and another photo of that very ring on her finger from the day he proposed to her. He was proud to re-unite her with that ring that must have meant so much to her. Every little thing we find has a story.
Slow TV, perfect for me today. A bit of cold, sleepy and coughing. You make good videos, pleasant to side and a good mood about your findings, even it's not a golden bracelet. Thx for your effort Mr green mountainear.
when I first found your channel, a year or so ago, I binge watched. It was so refreshing to not have to listen to curse words and my granddaughter even started watching with me. Back then Eddie was on a lot more and we enjoyed both of you very much. As time marches on, you have matured and the quality of your videos are outstanding. The photography shots, what scenery you are allowed to show and your knowledge of area and items you find make you the number one metal detecting channel. Thanks for sharing all you do!
Just telling my nephew how much I enjoy your channel. It's informative, entertaining, and I love Your original music that plays along. The other plus, you're not over dramatic when you find something.
I have got to tell you Brad-I love and appreciate you. I have been watching your videos for years now. I'm sure I'm old enough to be your grandmother. But I just enjoy you so much and I pray for you and your wife and son very often. Bless you Brad. 🥰😊😉😇
Most of these things were someone's possession! Even when a button fell off a piece of clothing, it was probably made a long time prior. And thank you for cleaning out modern day trash. I never understand why people continue to discard trash after a lot of conservationist projects to protect our lands and oceans. Thanks again!
@@hopesprings4967 HI, Thanks for thinking of me. It's one reason I hyphenated my name, and the next step is DNA testing to see if there are unknown relatives. However, my dad has only spoken of his sister and his dad. Actually, I think his dad had a brother, but I don't know about his family. They were from Pittsburgh, PA. I have always loved my last name. (Colorado)
@@virginiaspinelli-buser4420 Well if they do come up with a Canadian connection his name was Frank Spinelli. Probably short for a proper Italian name but well known in the community here in the city that I live in. They brought Italy to us. Great family. I’m not sure but I think from the Sorrento area
I enjoyed living in the north east the amount of historical things you can come across in the middle of nowhere living in Florida now and busted up to go exploring now keep having fun as long as you can
I've been following you a long time and enjoy every episode. I've been in a hospital for the past several months and could not do what you're doing in any way, but feel like I'm with you in the beautiful mountains of Vermont. Thanks Brad.
Good morning Brad. Always a joy to go with you on your digs! Such a beautiful place Vermont is! Thanks for taking me along! Have a great diggin weekend!👍😘
I'm very glad you decided to take the little piece of pottery. That's what I hunt for to bring it alive again in jewelry. Thank you for the wonderful videos. I love them. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nicely done. Really enjoy the calm demeanor, music and archeological aspect of you posts. I'm always curious of the stuff we find, what is it, why is it here, who's was it and the stories behind it. Heck, the research is almost as fun as the find. Keep up the good work.
Recently found your channel and I really enjoy it. The silver "bangle" you found is not a bangle. Bangles completely encircle the wrist. What you found is a cuff bracelet. Cuff bracelets have been popular for thousands of years
That is an exceptionally clever plan for a hunt. Treasure hunting is mostly mental and that starts with good hunting ideas noone else has thought of. bravo
Thanks Brad. I use to hike in the Blue Ridge and Massanutten Mountain ranges in northwestern Virginia. I say use to, because at pert near 71 and having sustained multiple injuries both in the military and civilian life I now find it a touch harder to get around. So I say thanks for taking us all to the woods with you to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
Love these creek hunting videos. Was there possibly picnic areas around the swimming hole? Might be worth it to work out around it. That old button could have come from washing clothes in the creek. Great video. Enjoyed it!
Brad, I found lots of buttons in Maryland back in the 60s. 1960s I mean, when I was a kid. They were made of oyster shell, had 2 small holes. Found many, many square, hand made nails. Found old tools made by blacksmiths. In one stone lined cellar hole I found over 100 brass tokens. They were hand stamped J.K.S. and were in various shapes and denominations. 3 was a small round one. Larger ones were hexagonal or wavy edged and in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. I saw 25 of them for sale on ebay a couple years ago, with my hand written note included. The seller was in America and not only would not allow me (living in a foreign country) to bid, also would not accept any emails from me. I had a friend in the states lay a snipe bid for me, but it was too small. I gave away all that stuff before I moved away.
Brad, one thing about you is you are not able to hide your enthusiastic smile when you find a special relic. Gives you away every time. Don't ever lose that enthusiasm. It is integral the way you present your videos and your followers all enjoy what you do. Hope to see you this year at Digstock in October.
Beautiful scenery Awesome finds Love the ring and the silver bangle great finds .ty for sharing Brad . Love the mountains in Vermont your Blessed to be there .
As always Brad great video!!! That was definitely a great place to spend the day. I would have to agree it warrants a return visit. That's a sweet bangle!!!! Happy hunting and be well
I stumbled upon your channel.. never have been metal detecting..would love to now I can walk better..hip replacement.. what caught my eye is Vermont..my husband lived there..we met online on a Facebook type website..like Myspace..lol..we married in our 50 s..he came here to Nebraska..I have traveled.. mostly in the south and west of here.. I didn't realize how little I knew of Vermont..he had worked at Mt Snow at a ski resort..had no clue there were mountains you can ski..More familiar with the Rocky mountains..he passed away 3 years ago.. always spoke how beautiful Vermont is..I miss him.. pretty sure he would also love your channel..got rid of any satellite or cable pay type services can afford it..only stream RU-vid mostly.. neither one of us realized what was available just through streaming RU-vid ..I know he would have loved your channel..I enjoy seeing how beautiful the area is he often spoke about..my grandson has one of those metal detectors.. have to bug him to take me to look for the things people have lost ..the story behind simple things means the most..have searched the river banks and have found china doll heads..kids play tea set..old bottles etc.. Never metal detecting..love how even a button is exciting!.. feel your passion for history
Very nice finds, Brad. As a fellow detectorist, I can attest to the fun one can have metal detecting in rivers and creeks. Not many people do it, so there are more treasures to discover. I like the cool water on a hot, summer day. Nice video and keep hunting!
Hi Brad, I don't know whether anyone has suggested this already, but the "lead-backed button" you first found, strikes me as being the center portion to a horse rosette. Love your videos bud. - Dave
I suspect it is a jacket and remains of a FMJ round that has hit a rock or sting hard, some of the old timers before soft nose bullets were a thing would pull the bullet turn the bullet around and reload it. Possibly an old 30/06 to make them hollow point with big expansion on impact for hunting.
Hey Brad, Just wanted to say I absolutely love the opening track for your video. Had a full listen on sound cloud. Forgot my password so couldn't comment but I love it. Nice job. and great find on the silvers
one ring to rule them all... ;-) the key looks like an old post office box key, but others watching are experts far beyond anything I've ever claimed...so.
Great day on the babbling brook, that 88 key looked like my grandpa/dads shop door itt was a 4 footer with glass insert. I would say 30-40's maybe. Thanks for the share.
Never saw anyone find more buttons than you. It's like you're the button magnet. All that silver today was a fortunate find. Loved the nature aspect, and such a fabulous stone dam you captured. Your beautiful videos are something that makes Friday's something special to look forward to. Thanks.
Hey Brad, After watching lots of your digging adventures in those beautiful hills and having watched you cross a few streams I wondered why you never searched a stream to make a video. Well today I enjoyed watching this one. The way North East is an area I have not traveled while i was a long haul trucker. There is so much history up there and a lucky you touch some of it with your finds. I find it amazing what has been left by earlier peoples on the land. Thank you for making these great videos.
Might be some ancient script on that ring......."my precious!" I thought you disappeared just for a nano second with that magical ring on your finder. 🧙♂️
