Sometimes the rabbit hole of research is just as fun and fulfilling as the actual finds.

Hope you and yours doing OK with all the torrential rain and flooding in Vermont. Be safe! Turn around, don't drown!

I found a conductors watch in a ghost town in Arizona. I suspect it was dropped into an outhouse hole. It was complete, with glass, and included both front and back. The back had an etched scene of a building, glass was beveled and the face was covered with a paper with the numbers. Inside all of the gears were rusted as was the spring, however, the remainder of the internals were gold plated. The same hole had an old...1820s pad lock that had been beaten with a bullpen hammer. That pit gave up coins, jewelery, faceted gem stones, the best bottles I ever found...I just randomly found this spot as I've never had a metal detector. Love your vlogs. I tell people that if you enjoyed Easter egg hunting, you'll love this hobby.

Great video Brad! Your channel is in my opinion the best medal detection channel on KZfaq. The video quality, cinematography, and all your music that you write and perform….just amazing! Great job sir!

Fishmans was a regional chain of department stores. There was one here in Newport,VT as late as the 1960's.

Great finds Brad! I think your "toilet paper holder" is the top of a lantern. Minus the roller handle.

You should dig old outhouse pits. Watch some videos from Below the Plains. Tom Askjem digs outhouse pits and finds phenomenal old embossed bottles and other artifacts. People used to throw those things into the outhouse pit. When the pit filled too much, they dig another pit nearby and pulled the outhouse over it. Over time, the bacteria and nasties from the “use layer” break down, and it’s safe to dig. I was going to suggest that you and Tom do a collaboration because you both dig for historic artifacts and you have a similar vibe. You both have a passion for history.

I love how Brad gives you a bit of history and an actual picture from his research of certain items.

What awesome finds; bringing past history back to life . Keep posting

Hope you survived those gully washers. On the bright side, relics were likely washed out too.

Everything seemed so elegant and special back then. Everything seems original, like no one item was the same as the others. Today everything we make is just copy pasted exactly the same. The way they spent so much time and energy making these items is just incredible.

I would say that a trip back to that spot is in order. Great video and makes the imagination run wild…

Hope you and your family are safe. Heard about all the flooding and washed out roads. Love your videos

I got a chuckle when you said, “what are the chances?”. Apparently pretty good if you have a lucky coin in your pocket! 😉🥰💕❤️👍👍

Hey Brad what an array of Relics and Coins you found Congrats. I remember the last Heart Heel Plate you found I love it. The Bycicle Spot Light Relic is very cool. Never knew they made a lamp for a bike before. Congrats on the Copper, Wheaties, and Good Luck Token. It's always nice to finda Stray Marble when your out detecting. Very Beautiful. One day soon I hope you find a complete Pocket Watch. I've found one with the glass still on it and two with the face plate with numbers on them. The sad part is I've not ever found one complete with the face cover still attached. I did find a WW1 Compass complete with the face piece still attached. Take Care Brad

I enjoy everything you find. I especially enjoy the scenic shots. Beautiful country❤

The unidentified piece with the wire and base. I think may have been a shaving mirror mount. The round being filled with lead and the wire pinching an adjustable mirror. Fun treasures today, another great adventure. Thanks Brad.

After watching Brads video,i love reading the comments, thank you everyone for helping supporting the community, love history!😊

Thank you for showing the flowers and things. It makes the landscape more interesting.

I have my great grandfather's gold pocket watch. I love coming home from work and watching your adventures.

Great episode! The bicycle light cap was awesome and reminded me that I found one about 15 years ago. I re-found it in a box in my garage a few minutes ago 😂, and you are 100% correct... they are really cool to look at! I'm going to display it for sure, and had no idea they had any value? Double bonus!

From the opening music to scenery and history, this is one of my favorite KZfaq channels.

Don't know if anyone has previously commented on this, but I enjoy the scenery shots as much as the reveal. I grew up in the north west corner of Mass (now in GA for over 50 years) and appreciate the beauty of the area.

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

Must have been right in the outhouse when you found that paper roller holder!!!

let's go let's go treasure and adventure .. it doesn't get any better then this ... Thank you Brad. ✌👵

Great variety of relics in this one! Love the bike light, clock innards, suspender clips, but the large cent was an added bonus. See ya next Friday!

Hey Brad.. fantastic finds. Love that bicycle lamp.👍

I love the bike lamp part, a very cool find.

Your metal metal Detecting is the best on KZfaq.

I have been watching for a long time now. You find such amazing things. I also like it when you show some of the area you are in. Places and things I will never see in person. Thank you.

Brad Martin, I really appreciate you. Thank you.

Check the lighter and see if there is a hole in the side next to the second clicker. They used to make lighter that sent one flame up for cigarettes and the other flame came out the side to light pipes.

I like seeing what you find . Nothing that old here in Wyoming. Thank you sir . Good finds. Blessings

Many nice period finds. I think the bike lantern top was the best find. Also the mantel clock piece as well.

The "heart heel plate" was the original "Tramp Stamp".❤ Supposedly, they were worn on the left shoe only, and were used to leave a trail in the soil/dirt road for gentlemen to follow back to the Saloon or Brothel. 👨‍🌾💃

I love the stories that you imagine for each of your finds. It makes the depth of your videos so rich with possibility and history. Thanks, as always, for sharing your adventures and your insights.

Brad, hope you are okay with all the flooding up there!

Great finds! Loved the shot of that frog just chilling there too

When I was a kid growing up in Claremont, NH we had a Fishmans department store along with a JJ Newburys…

Great video Brad. Love the music, the scenery, and the finds of course.

Nice. Good story!

I love that there is no annoying aluminum junk at the old home sites

Good dig Brad. Great finds. I found a Soiled Dove heel plate also.

What a fun hunt and walk about in the woods.

Great hunt brad thank you so very much for sharing 👍👍❤️ hope you have a wonderful weekend

Great video. Thanks!

Really enjoyed this hunt. Like it better when you are alone.

Heal plate legend is awesome. Thx for sharing. Hearts to you Brad❤️

Unreal day out Brad. My favourite piece was the boot heel plate I like the story with the urban legend. Thanks for the share and keep on diggin!

Great finds Brad. Totally enjoy your videos. Have a wonderful weekend with the family.👍😘

Suspender clips are one of my favorite things to find

What a jackpot of treasure you got today! Very exciting AND interesting.

Great finds and a little history on the side. Thanks for taking us along Brad

Good day. Beautiful spot.

Always fun....nature scenes....narration......and cool finds....thx

Great finds. Love the marble.

Awesome as usual. Your videos are a Friday or weekend must watch.

That is an awesome story and relic. Ladies of the night.

Love, love, love your videos Brad! Thank you so much !

Love the heel plate. Just dug one with the clover about a week ago. Enjoy the videos!!! Thanks for sharing!

Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!

My first thought was - Canned Heat. Great find. Great day of diggin'! Thanks!

I really enjoy the soundtracks to your MD adventures!

Great day brad. Always so much fun to watch

Hi! Brad You Live In Such A Beautiful State! Keep Up The Great Searches! Awesome Video's!

8:30 I remember my grand mother telling me that in the UK around the 1920's ladies of rhe night would have something like this on their heals, the hollowed area would be painted bright red, or they'd put a price on the sole of the shoe in chalk. When sitting down, they would undo the ankle strap of the shoe so it would hang on the toes and drop down, making it visible. Eye contact would be made and they would leave the establishment separately and meet up outside. Not all our great grandma's were into apple pie and duvet sewing ya know 😂

Sweet spot to hunt and nice finds all around, Brad. Nothing beats old variety with a super old find to make you scratch you head. Well done as always!

My brother found a ceramic water pipe/bong on Monte Sano mountain, Huntsville Alabama. It was slightly covered with dirt. He bent over and started clearing the dirt and pulled out the pipe.

I really enjoyed this video Brad. I really like the bicycle lamp part and the rest of the relics , the large copper's way cool.

Prayers for everyone in Vermont with the terrible flooding.

I actually thought the mantel clock piece 15:30 was a sheet music holder, at first. Finding marbles in the woods, how cool is that 😃

Wow Brad, New gloves, I bet it broke your heart letting go of your old ones, LOL. Jokes aside, I allways look farward to friday, to chill out watching your latest video. Keep them coming. Great viewing, Great music, Allways well put together. Bring on next friday.

Keep bringing the relics from that spot. Thanks for content..Dean from Spotsylvania va..Peace

Oh, how cool. I found a heal heart plate also. Found it outside of Virginia City M 30 yrs ago 😊 I enjoy your videos and I love the Hunt too. 👍

This day was full of great finds.

Thanks Brad another great adventure. 🙏

I found a heart boot heel plate in an old lot, along with a lot of old coins and gambling tokens...right next to the town's oldest church and ministers house :)

Love the bicycle lantern. I once found a large cent on the top of a ski slope here in NH

Always wonderful and love the music.

We had a Fishmans in Bennington when I was a kid. I grew up in Shaftsbury and we used to go to town on Friday shopping .

The suspected toilet paper hanger was a towel hanger, the only thing missing is the wood dowel. Amazingly interesting video, even to those who have found most of what you have. Your delivery serves the hobby well and for that I am great full. Thanks for this one, awesome job!

Great hunt Brad enjoy it.

great stuff Brad thanks

Brad, I’ve been watching you for a long time and I look forward to each Friday’s piece. I hope you and your family and friends haven’t been impacted by the recent flooding.

Those heel pnayes were worn by soldiers during the civil war. Each symbol represents the insignia of the Army Corp their regiment belonged to. The Heart represented the 24th Corp, the Diamond 25th, Triangle 4th,etc. . They also wore them made from cloth on their clothing, in Red, Blue or White, each color representing a different fividion of the Corp. But the heel plate had to be purchased by the soldier out of his own pay, so they arent as prevalent. The cloth versions wete made out of a piece of spare cloth from clothing they already had.

Bravo Sir Brad another lovely video and finds✌️ Napa California

Great finds. Follow the heart! 😄

Hi Brad, I guess that lucky token did it’s job anyway. Nice to follow you in the mountains of Vermont finding so many nice artefacts. I love it when you also show some of the flora and fauna that belongs to nature there. I live in the countryside in the south of Sweden with forest all around our farm but they look very different from where you live. Thanks for a great episode.

I remember a Fishmans in downtown Rutland,VT on merchant's rd. They had a dinner style restaurant and soda fountain. Closed in the 70s.

Great video. Awesome finds.✌❤

I have heard that finding the outhouse is sometimes the best place for where things were hidden. That’s a great find. I think the patent for toilet paper as we know it was from like 1890’s

Another great video of REALLY cool finds!

Glad to see you finally invested in new gloves😂

Great finds .liked the lady's of the night story 😅😅😅.

Brad, your vids bring much peace before and after work. You are a Dude.

Awesome Brad many great treasures along with the beautiful nature around you .hope you get to go through it again I believe there is more treasures to uncover . Ty for sharing .

I’m guessing the suspenders got left behind when the heel cap got lost! Lots of great finds!

What a great day that must have been! How fun to be able to see all your treasures and surprises! Thanks Brad!

I have a HUGE COLLECTION of Vintage and Antique Jewelry. I see you holding a very ornate holder. Believe it or not, it could be the holder for a very expensive, dressy Handbag. Unfortunately, Sterling Silver cannot be melted and fixed. You have to find something else to be able to use it. LOL I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the story of the Heart Heel for shoes . Some lady of the night had a Sales and Marketing Degree from Harvard. VERY, VERY, CLEVER.
