Hey Brad! I wait for your new videos each week. May I suggest, after finding items like the “sash buckle” it would be really cool to see them after you’ve cleaned them up.

Yes, continue on with the additional camera. Even though I get a little anxious wondering what you've found now, I think it is a great addition to your 'history detecting' accoutrements.

My father brought my brother and I detecting and it was about 40 yards from a old cemetery out in middle of nowhere and I found a pilgrims shoe buckle solid gold in A+ condition and my grandfather talked me into donating it to the Augusta state museum. That's where it is . Been about 37 years or so . Take my kids to see it once in a while. Archeologists and college professors from all over the world study in . And possibly do the same thing today and donate for everyone to enjoy.

Like the new camera. It adds to the adventure. Would like to see some of what you collect after you clean them up.

Brad, your statement about holding something in your hand that someone else held a hundred, hundred and fifty years ago is a mindset I share with you. Amateur archeologists love the past. Enjoyed your adventure and look forward to the next.

Some old wood sash windows have those thumb lock mechanisms to hold the window open at a few preselected heights. Only the flat part would be visible. That’s what it resembles, to me. The door knob was probably found next to it. Often, hardware was transferred from one homesite to another

Always love a day in the woods with you Brad. One day it would be nice to see the clean up of the cool stuff.

The new camera is an amazing addition to your videos. As a fellow detectorist that point of view really helps scratch the itch. Your production quality is making it harder and harder to enjoy some of the other channels in the space. Keep up the amazing work.

Husband here. Your calm demeanor/tranquillity....your exploring outdoors....your thought process....your curiosity and delicate conclusion. Thank you! wish I was their!!

I was going to give the thumbs up on the live digs before you even asked. It gives the videos more authenticity and a touch of excitement. We get to enjoy the anticipation of the find more. Good job.

That mystery button looks like the piece to the old telegraph machines they used to transmit signals/messages using morse code. I'm pretty sure those mystery buttons are the switches for the old telegraph machines for sending and receiving messages for sure. I've just seen that switch so many times in old western films and it fits perfectly with the 1850's time frame.

Brad, It’s hard to improve upon perfection but good for you (and us) that you are always looking to improve your videos. We appreciate you, young man! Always remember that snow is a four letter word!

Thumb’s up for the extra camera. Brad, thank you for the breath of fresh air you provide to the day. Some much needed calm in this world!

Watched you for years Brad, love the added camera angles, give a greater prospective of all you digging. Very cool.

I’m an older Vermonter now living in the beautiful Smoky mountains of East Tennessee for 8 years now. I love the milder winter weather here but miss my real home of Vermont. Watching you satisfies two things for me. It gets me into the forest and I get to watch you enjoy metal detecting which I always wanted to try. I think the new camera is going to work out well although it may not always be aimed correctly. I look forward each week to see what new treasures you will find and try to guess where you might be detecting that week. Thank you for doing what you do so well and bringing me along with you. May god bless you and your family and friends. Thanks so much from Ron C. Originally from Rochester Vt.

The new camera angle was awesome! Love your videos Brad, you’re an extremely talented dude!

I definitely liked the new footage. Also, if you are able to track down someone to connect to the trapper's tag, you might ask if the named person also smoked a pipe. They seem to be possibly of similar age.

The extra camera is an added plus & I like it. I do also really enjoy the bits of nature up there that you show us in every video...those mushrooms, fungi, trees, etc.. SO Pretty ! Thanks for another delightful video. Happy Treasure Hunting !

I’m a retired 30 years of service police officer. If I was not working I was in the woods/fields. I so enjoy your showing natures growths. Very neat and so pretty. Love you calm and cool attitude. Stay safe.

Another great and entertaining video Brad. Look forward to your work every week. Always enjoy when your friends join you to have some fun, Mike is my favorite, he seemed more like a bodyguard . The new camera angles are great, can’t wait to see what your doing next week.

Those clips, I've seen something similar many may years ago on a very old farm machine. They where recesed into the wood with a spring under them. You pushed it in and could tighten or loosen a leather strap and when you let go it gripped the leather belt. The ones I saw where on a static thresher machine from the late 1800's and held the stowage boxes closed. There was a Bix on each side each with 2 of the clasps. Don't know if they are the same item but look very similar. Love the new camera angles BTW. Charlie 🇬🇧

Brad , I really enjoy you showing the scenery as you're detecting as it allows me to feel like I'm there with you ! Thank you as I've never been to Vermont yet !

Love the historical/background commentary you’ve added into the vlog… I really enjoy learning/hearing what you have to say about all of these items. Nicely done!

I have been watching your videos for quite some time and have always loved both your photography and your extensive knowledge of the treasures you discover. Having the extra camera adds another element and something more...your commentary while you are going through the complete process is perfect and, to me, makes the videos more complete...

Awesome to see the entire recovery!! Thank you Brad for the incredible videos and information you share.

Great amazing finds . Awesome brass tag you found hopefully you can share a story behind it . Very beautiful scenery . Ty for sharing this video great 2nd camera thanks Brad

Love your stuff to the point that I can say that they are NOT long enough! Be safe and have a Great Day!

Appreciate the new camera footage. Also always appreciate the fungi shots. Thanks for the great videos,

Thank you, Brad for this video. So many great finds! I really like the three camera set-up.

The two coolest things the sash clasp and shoe buckle made my day. You are so blessed to be able to explore the way you do. Your puzzle pieces look to me possibly like some kind of musical instrument pieces. I hope you find out and let us know

New camera is great!! Puts us by your side so we can help. Thanks for all your efforts.

Nice finds Brad. As a long time fanman of your meticulous uploads, musical ability and historical finds etc.. I'm hooked!! Been digging a couple of years and wish I had started years ago. Thumbs up on the new camera addition. Had no effect on my vertigo, all is great!! Thanks 👍

Hi Brad! Congratulations on finding that sash buckle. Would love to see how it looks after you clean it up. Love your videos and I always look forward to see what you dig up next! The new camera angle is a great addition.

I have enjoyed your channel for quite some time. I think the new perspective of the strap mounted camera works well… no sea-sickness experienced!

This was a fine episode. It is pleasant to see your digs from start to finish. I think you should continue this format.

Really love the music! And natural photos you sprinkle in with your discoveries! Best digger channel ever! Your gorgeous smile and obvious enjoyment in the woods is bonus!

Love going along with you on your adventures. Just a thought, when talking about older clothing, maybe on one of your trips you could visit someplace like Colonial Williamsburg and have the people there show the differences, similarities, and the styles of clothing of those earlier times? Keep doing what you do.

Extra camera probably not worth the trouble. Your metal detector show excels because your don't do a lot of tedious digging on camera. The historical background, the cleanup and the enthusiasm for the objects found is much appreciated. I have learned a lot about VT from your show, even though I attended UVM and should know some stuff.

Love Friday mornings! Cool finds, Monday is the start of spring and look forward to another year of great videos. Thanks Brad!

What a beautiful door knob!! Thanks for sharing Brad. Awesome adventure 🕊

Door knob is so cool, reminds me of my grandparents house ❤

I bet those woods look a lot different today. I was just feeling like it wouldn't be long before I could get out in the woods around here in Franklin County until Mother Nature chimed in this week.

Brad, I'm a fan of the extra camera, not too jarring or disorienting at all. It also fills in some gaps, and in most cases allows us to be there for an authentic first response. I've always loved your videos but this new dimension makes them even better. Fantastic finds! Cheers!

Brad, your 3rd camera application is excellent and, now I ALMOST feel like I'm digging. Really have enjoyed all your videos for years now, and appreciate your commentary about the "finds" and the nature around you.....pretty pictures.

Love the videos man maybe check the settings to see if you can get a different picture instead of the fish bowl effect. Think it’s great your trying something different

Your finds never disappoint! Thank you, Brad, for keeping us entertained during this dreary winter. Your content is the BEST!!

I do like the extra camera. The search and dig for has more continuity . Feels like being there with you. I'm happy to see you getting out so early in the season. My neck of the woods still has too much snow. Great finds, I'm inspired to get my equipment in order so I can get going as soon as possible. Thanks for taking us out on the search with you!

Great show today I really enjoyed it Gene Gorringe Mi be safe out there watch your six God bless Gene Gorringe Mi 👍🇺🇲🇬🇧

Love your content. Been watching you a long time. You use to show what you find after you have cleaned it up. You are one or the reasons I got into metal detecting.

Love seeing all the different angles. Thanks for sharing

Thoroughly enjoyed your post! I love treasure hunting and metal detecting is certainly that! A calming break from the hustle and bustle of the majority of the posts…thanks, and I will be back!

Thanks for sharing your detecting and love of history. I watch daily with my morning coffee. As always a beautiful production. Thanks

Hey Brad, it was good to see ya, representing xp Deus at Digstock 2023! Appreciated you being there, but didn’t want to be a fanboy and get a selfie with you. I’m glad for all you do for the metal detecting community keeping people both aware of their history And enthusiastic about, digging it up!

The extra angles are great. Ever think about a tripod though? In that way you can dig the target with you in view and dub in the close up once you recover it. In any case, just videoing your hunts is always great. You really found some amazing items there. I hope you are going back and hopefully locate the home site. Thanks for sharing another fantastic hunt with us Brad.

Love the new camera view. Makes me feel like I'm right there with you during the treasure hunt!!! Thanks!!!🌞😊

Great video, Brad... I also like the addition of a third camera... Thanks much for bringing us along

Abandoned early settlements really intrigue me. From self sufficient farms, to woods. Luv your presentation.

Thank You for the journey into the past. I am a new viewer and want to say I enjoy your commentary and insight into the historical puzzles you detect. Looking forward to the next time.

First, yes to the added camera. Second, Be nice to see items like the sash buckle after you clean them up for display. Third, I enjoy watching this whole process, so thanks for taking the extra time you spend recording and explaining things.

The new camera was great. The shoe buckle, corset buckle and sash buckle were probably from the same lady. The sash buckle was beautiful and my favorite find for you today.

Yes! I like watching the process. As well as the nature shots you include. You have a marvelous channel. I've watched for a few years now.

Cool finds, Brad! Always look forward to your videos

Brad, I like the new camera angle. Please keep digging and showing the whole process, it's very informative. Thank you!

Loved it all.. great video..wounderful shots of fungi..shrooms.. keep it up.. thank you..

Once again, another great video of all the things you find out there. Thanks for sharing.

💥First video of yours I've seen, and I loved it! ❤Most similar metal detecting I have seen are about funding something of monetory value, and I didn't care for that. I am SO with you about finding things that help one feel into the past! Gives us a chance to appreciate all those who have lived through this game before us and paved the way for our .............. progress!? Thank you very much for sharing your passion!!! Your demeanor and attitude ROCK!😊

Loved the way you vloged this vlog!!! Loved the finds!!! Thank you for sharing another Great adventure with us!!! God Bless!!!

Thanks Brad. I always enjoy your videos.

Nice upgrade in content. Thanks for the adventure. It would be nice to see your finds cleaned up after you get home. 👍

Watching the digs this late was great Brad. I Liked the camera too if it doesn't interfere with your searching time. Thank you. We have your snow out west this year.!

Brad, I really like the new camera angle showing the process of the find. Good job and please keep it. I look forward to Fridays.

I just stumbled upon your channel and I love how passionate you are about your detecting and the surprises that you find.

It is fun to see your finds, but I keep coming back for your lovely nature shots!

I like the extra camera angle. Cool video too. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Beautiful country.

Good morning Brad. I enjoy your videos and await a new one each week so thank you very much for that !! I also enjoyed your additional camera views … please keep up the great work and have a super day. Gary

Love your videos and your knowledge of the items you detect! Just interesting as anything historical! We moved into a house built in 1898-1899 and my folks renovated it in 1972 in Arkansas. Then we moved to Cripple Creek Colorado in the 70's too and renovated an older small home then. We should have metal detected everything back then!! I find all your discoveries so darn interesting! Keep it up please!

Love the trips to the woods I see so much with you like the tree growths & the finds. ❤

Always enjoy your vids, the joy you show brightens any dull day

Thank you Brad! I liked the camera added... The buckle piece you found I see it attaching with another side that would match the square piece, connecting underneath the round I can't think what you call them floral peace and center. As a woman that's how I see that belt buckle closing. It's beautiful.

I love the new camera’s ability to show more of the process. Love your videos!

Perhaps you could do a follow up type video of your favorite finds all cleaned up and polished... That would definitely be cool.

Always fun watching you find items from old to new and love the new camera seeing a different point of view, keep up with the good work brother

Your gentle sweet demeanor is nice to listen for.

The quality of the cameras is great. I'd keep the new set up. So glad w/the mild winter we get some extra winter digs. Thanks, Brad!

Brad, your production value continues to be better and better! I really enjoy you functioning as a human tripod! Keep up the good work. Ron

Glad I had this as a suggested video. Once we finish working on a major reno phase of our 1890's home, I plan on doing some detecting around here. I have to admit watching the series The Detectorists gave me added motivation due just spending time in the outdoors. And seeing the same thing in this video....I might just be getting a new hobby soon. Thanks for sharing.

Love the new camera, whole new perspective! Thanks for the look into our past!

I liked the camera usage. Good hunt-great finds. KEEP DIGGIN! MD

Always love seeing what you find,,also love your nature shots..fungi etc and your background music.You are so talented!

The new cameras are a great addition! Thanks.👋🏼

Brad you did a excellent job with the video for today. That is how most of my videos are. I loved it. Keep it up.

The added camera is helpful and adds interest to the "hunt" for the unknown. Thanks for another vicarious excursion into history.

I love the way you showed the dig process!

One cent was as exciting find. Never would have suspected that given the description you provided of the place. The door knob reminded me of the ones we had in a house we rented when I was a child. There were a couple of the ornate glass ones in that house too. I really like the pretty "belt buckle" and would like to see that once it's all "shiny and new" again. Thanks for starting my Friday "Reading Day" off. Be safe, Be Healthy, Be you.

Oh, Brad, bringing back memories. 50 years ago, married a lady from Newport while living in Hawaii. Spent a few weeks in a number of summers on Lake Seymour, and skied Jay Peak a few times in the Winter. Maple syrup, sugar on snow, walleye and perch fishing, vinegar on French fries, Cabot cheese, wonderful people...😊

I love the new camera. It feels like we're digging along with you and seeing what you are.

The video presentation was wonderful. I really enjoyed watching this.. Thank you Brad…

It is very hard to improve upon the quality of your work, but I do like additional camera view. Thank you for all the hard work that you put in your videos. I do so appreciate it and I’m sure others do too.

That clasp is a beauty. Yes please keep showing more of your dig.

Hi, Brad, I really enjoy the additional camera angle, thank you!
