I was at an estate sale where the entire contents of the house and property were being auctioned off. Up for auction was a small cloth bag with a pile of coins that were covered with dirt and such. I paid $7 for the bag full. I discovered 22 large cents with the oldest a very nice 1794 I happily discovered after soap and water cleaning. After watching your fantastic videos, I realized that these coins were dug coins and I wondered if the bag was the man's collection of large cents, he found metal detecting over the years. Then I wished I knew where he found all those coins and wondered if they were all found from one area. It is our loss for not knowing this collector and learning about his old metal detecting haunts. Just how much history do we all walk over in our travels.

The crucifix is so large I believe it was part of a "rosary" or worn by a priest. Beautiful intricate piece ❣️

Wondering if you packed out the moose skull? I carried a buffalo skull two miles once. After the first half mile that buffalo skull gained a bunch of weight! By the time I got it back to the truck? I think my arms stretched two feet longer! I was a young man in those days. Wish I'd never had sold it! But, young and dumb.

Women in the 1800s frowned on having a tan. It was popular to use bonnets, parasols, and use buttermilk on their face as sunblock. Probably why there are so many parasols in the ground.

I would love to see some of the items you find after you've cleaned them just to see more detail. Nice finds as always.

I love the plants you show. I grew up in the Appalachian hills of East Tennessee. As kids we didn't have toys so we played in the hills. You're videos bring back memories. The cross is awesome! Thank You for taking me with you!

Love your Friday videos. Would love to see your display room.

Really nice find ! I think it was part of a rosary, considering the level of detail. It's a little big for everyday wear.

That crucifix was large. Possibly worn by a Priest? Or Nun?

Love your videos, the music, the mountains and your enthusiasm.

From watching your videos over the years, I’ve many times wondered why when you’re wondering out loud how an artifact got there, you haven’t mentioned possible Indian attack. After doing a quick Google search, I learned that by the end of the Revolutionary War, the attacks had mostly stopped, but with just a few during the War of 1812. This from The Conquest of Vermont, Vermont Indian Troubles in Context, by Colin G Galloway. The coin from 1803 made me think of it.

I really look forward to your uploads on Friday helps to make my day Cheers fro Ireland 🇮🇪

Friday morning coffees and Brad. ❤

Nice bunch of finds! Maybe a short of that Crotal Bell all cleaned up?

Please play your intro just a tad longer...love the music and the scene. Making these long treks into the backcountry, have you ever considered backpacing in a ultralight tent and gear...maybe some footage around a small fire, going over the finds of the day while enjoying some fresh brewed campfire coffee? Then, get up the next morning and swinging some more?

When I watch your videos, I get spun into the who, the what, the why, the where, and a million more questions. I know people that have none of this curiosity and that makes me wonder too. Great videos!

I absolutely love that crucifix. Another great video!.

Good Morning Brad, this place seems to have a special feel to it; and it felt that there'd not been many people roaming back in there. Did you feel that too?.. The moss covering the rocks at the spring was so beautiful.. Thank you for sharing

Happy Friday everyone! Another great video! Amazing finds from out in the middle of nowhere. Love the moose skull! Brad, love how you make possible stories to go with the items! ❤

Awesome finds and video, the cross was my favorite. Wondering if maybe from a priest. I would love to detect with you one day, such a story teller and your finds just are very cool.

Thank you for another great adventure and for taking us with you. I always look forward to Green Mountain Metal Detecting Fridays.

Hello Brad. I have watched a ton of your videos way back from the beginning of your channel. I have never commented on any until now. I will say you sir put out the best detecting videos on UKposts. From the way you explain things to just the way you carry yourself. The music is wonderful, just the overall way you do your videos is absolutely great. I look forward to every Friday to see what you find next. God Bless you and your family

Great finds, I love the cross. I hope it cleans up nice for you. Keep Diggin.

We can only hope that one day you find that treasure chest.

I look forward to my weekly trip to the beautiful mountains of Vermont with you. This New England girl thanks you.

Excellent video Brad. Especially what you found, the cool relics the small ox knob, buttons. The awesome drape bust large cent and the old cross.

Love the video and the treasures. Thanks for the trip to the mountains.

Every Friday morning like clockwork. I always look forward to your videos. That crucifix was an amazing find. Very special. Thanks for the work you put into creating your content.

You always find some of the best finds! Excellent video. I’m sure you had a great time unpacking your backpack after that! Nicely done!

Always a pleasure to see you Brad… have a great weekend! Your #1 Kentucky fan💞TK

Every time I see you find a parasol ring ☂️, I can imagine a Prissy Pampered Jewel sitting there wondering to herself 🤔 What in the Hell am I doing here.😱 The pattern on the button looks more like an Oak leaf then a fern.

May God Bless you Brad. Happy Friday morning.

Thanks for posting, Brad.

Hey Brad, I am on a cruise in the Mediterranean and have been isolated to my stateroom for 5 days with Covid. I could not wait until today for your vid to drop. Thanks for the great show and a little respite from my situation.

I always get excited when you find bells too! They just make me happy.

Awesome finds ; especially the crucifix

Great! That must have been a beautiful place to live. Seems sometimes I was born a few hundred years too late.

That Crusifixthat Crucifix is gorgeous

Awesome finds brother thank you so very much for sharing 👍👍❤️

Awesome spot this week. Congratulations on this finds, especially the bell and Crucifix! WOW on that one, Brad! 👍

That cross and the crotal/jingle bell was so cool, and the coins were awesome as well

That cross, in that condition? Magnificent!

Went digging with a spoon for fun. I was digging by a root of a tree and found a Indian head center 1899!! Pretty Kristy but I FOUND IT!. And a very thin green garder belt clip. Probably late 18 early 1900s. Baltimore had a fire in 1907 that burnt the city down they trucked and dumped all the debri in Dundalk MD. Where I live. Now the metal detector is going over there with me TODAY!❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRAD. I have learned so very much from you.

Brad, your videos are a highlight of my Fridays. Keep them coming. 📽

Awesome video Brad, as always love your editing. Easy to watch. Great VT finds! Keep it up man and best of luck, all the best!

I watch many metal detecting channels, but yours is always my favorite! Thank you and I can't wait till next Friday!

One of the things I look forward to during the Pendleton Round-Up celebrations are the two big parades, one evening and one noon. The great things are the Ox wagons and and horse drawn logging pulls. Both have rows of these bells in several sizes to warn people they were coming! Although one Teamster said his teams liked the sound too.

I do a lot of metal detecting myself. One time trading stories with another detectorist, he claimed that he found a gold ring one time, and when he dug it up, it was on a finger… and he proceeded to find a whole body there. Buried in a shallow grave… I don’t know if I believe that one. But I guess it’s possible.

I am a dedicated viewer. I love when you find cool old stuff.

The crucifix is very good shape. 👍😊

I've been watching this Turkish metal detecting channel, deniz something, and he has a device that detects precious metals. He uses that to steer him towards an area then uses his metal detector to zero in. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. The translation calls it a field scanner but I'm sure that's not what we would call it. They find gold ancient crucifixes and other ancient gold and and silver that's been hidden (plastered) into what looks like ordinary rock outcroppings. Most are rocks plastered together so come apart easily. Stuff from ottoman empire, Egyptian, Roman, Greek. It's crazy. Y'all are the only 2 channels I watch. You should check it out and see if you know what device he uses. He posts every other day at least.

My husband always carried a small pocket knife with him. He used it mostly at his work to deal with things that needed to be scraped off the floor. He was a maintenance guy.

Great hunt awesome crucifix pendant looking forward to next week God Bless and happy dirt fishing…Virgil

That Crucifix was absolutely beautiful. Keep up the great work 👍

Great video Brad! Love that big crotal bell, crucifix, fern button, and Large cents! You have been killing the Large Cents this year! How come we didn't see the moose skull in the wrap up? I hope you took it with you. Great job sir and see you next Friday!

Great Hunt there Brad. Love all the Relics and Buttons. Especially the last Button withe the leaf design. Congrats on the Coppers and Cordal Bell. Really Love the the Cross you found. That one is awesome. Take Care

Love the old lantern pieces and of course the two large cents were very nice. Cross was easily the find of the day. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!!

Awsome day for you, good job

My favorite time of year. I look forward to each video, Thank you.

I loved the bell today and the cross pendant. Some awesome finds today. I absolutely love your videos. I love your quite educational demeanor.

I look forward to Fridays because of your videos!! The stuff you find, while common to you, is stuff I would never find in my part of the US!! Thanks for showing me the history of our country!!!

Growing up in the NEK I appreciate your video. I live in the white mountains and do a fair amount of metal detecting. Enjoy your program very much.

Great hunt Brad nice krotel bell and large cents enjoyed the hunt and scenery those folk were poor but had a great life

I grew up on an old farm in the woods of Rhode Island, back in the early 50s, had burn barrel. We also had our own dump for glass and metals.oh how i wish i had some of the old glass jars bottles. Your videos always bring to life back in the good old days. Thank you .❤️

Nice variety of finds congrats 🎉

a Rosery cross is my vote. A cup of coffee and a quality vid, my friday morning is again complete and a good send off for another busy day.

I love Fridays; I watch you before my coffee! I’ve been doing some family genealogy, and it turns out that my DNA relatives are mostly located in Vermont and to the northwest of that region. It brings it home that it could have been my family out there homesteading.

SO cool! Thanks for letting us tag along!

Morning Brad, enjoying my Friday morning coffee and your video. What a great combination. Great hunt and finds. See you next Friday.

You find a lot of treasure chest locks, here’s hoping you find one on top of a pile of treasure one day. I love your videos and wish you and your family the best! 🥰💕👍👍

Thank you so much for all of the information and a great trip to Vermont. Beautiful. Place. Be safe

Brad another awesome video good seeing ya again. The mountains are beautiful ; once again she gives up some of her treasures . What a Friday you get me going in the morning. God bless be safe stay well until next Friday when we meet again ;KEEP DIGGING

Beautiful cross. Beautiful Savior!

Thank you for the video ,I look forward to Friday's, and a new video

Thank you for identifying the parasol ring! I found one recently and couldn't place it.

Great location probably more there about. 2 nice coppers & that big crotal bell. But IMO the find of the day was the beautiful crucifix which probably made them heartbroken losing. Nice hunt Brad.

Crucifix is a treasure for sure!

Awesome finds, the bell was the greatest! Keep on digging.

in her Amelia Peabody series, author Elizabeth Peters protagonist was a woman archeologist in a family of British archeologists who lived in Egypt around the late 1880s to early 1900s. Amelia always had her parasols made extra sturdy in case she needed to bring it down on the head of an attacker, with an extra sharp point which was quite useful for moving people out of her way in crowds. People frequently attacked her.

Another great location and too many awesome finds to cover each, but for me, as someone who loves finding religious artifacts, that early crucifix is stunning- Congrats!!

You mentioned little holes in the back of the crucifix . . . Roman Catholic priests would carry a Sacrament kit when they were doing home visits. It contained vials of holy water, a little container for some hosts, and the crucifix would affix to the front of the kit through a keyhole type of connection where the knobs would slide into the holes in the crucifix, and lock it in place. I am just guessing that it could apply to your find, but it's a potential explanation. I've been following you for years. I'm a subscriber and I love your channel. Looks like you've made some changes to your videos; back to the old "tried and true." I like all your work, so whatever you're doing with the channel, I'm a supporter.

Great way to start my day. Thank you for sharing

great stuff thanks

Thank you Brad for the adventure , seeing some beautiful scenery and amazing finds !

Always exciting!

This is one of your best finding days what a variety of good things. That lock might have been part of a spice box. Spices back then were quite expensive.

Thank-you Brad another awesome video very enjoyable

Love your videos always brings back memories of running thru the woods in Shaftsbury as a kid. Thank you.

Interesting that the Crucifix was near the spoon? I enjoyed teh video, thank you.👍👍😉

Awesome hunt, Brad!! You never cease to amazed me with you editing skills. That old Cross was the owners' treasure for sure!!

A Catholic crucifix in a mostly Protestant state. Very nice find! Perhaps part of a Rosary.

Well Done Brad ! Thank U. !
