I do believe the button with the nail through the shank would have been a field fix, no thread so they just stuck a nail through to hold the material in the button

The 10:20 bronze/brass item is the distal end of a colonial era barrel tap spigot. The grooves made it set better into the wooden cask. I encourage you to double check my research, I’m pretty sure that’s it. Beautiful.

It is so refreshing young man to this old man, to see the type of camaraderie still happening in my country of so much ridiculous turmoil. I truly appreciate your videos and those made with your two companions are really special thank you so much. Be aware folks there's so much more in this man's videos than just finding Treasures with a metal detector.

Mystery item is the end of a brass barrel tap. Great video as usual!

Your mystery tapered brass items are the remains of a barrel tap. Always love your videos my friend! 🍻

I love his reaction every time he finds a buckle. I smile every single time lol.

You know, if I haven't said it before, your channel has THE VERY BEST musical interludes.

Looks like a great day was had by all! I dig the new intro riff!! Thanks for taking us with you!!

1814 we took a little trip, Along with Colonel Jackson....It's Wellington the Welly Boot Man! Great finds. Bet some man stuck that nail through the button as an emergency repair. Worked well!

I think that curved silver plated item is a Barrette. That's what comes to my mind. A truly wonderful day of diggin'! Thanks for taking me along! That was excellent!

great show earliest i hafe caught you regards tone

Most definitely a dream permission for sure!!!! Some amazing pieces of the past out of the ground

Nice finds today! Button's galore, coinage, etc. Your buddies know some great spots for a detecting adventure! I hope you're welcome back. Til next time, keep on diggin...

I think the mystery items are part of a barrel spigot.

OMG. What a great new beginning and your new videography style that you have adopted. This is way far and beyond the quality that you expect that anyone who started a channel just as a hobby. You get 5 stars +. Not to mention great finds today!

The Duke of Wellington born in Dublin led the British Amy at Waterloo 1814

Wow Phil and Tom have been kind to you! Awesome location and awesome relics and coins! Congrats!

The button with the nail in the shank reminded me of Dad's WWII uniform. The button shank went through a slot and had an "R" clip of the type on clevis pins to hold it in place. Great Day!!

Those are 2 nice guys, having you to their permissions to hunt with them!! Congrats to all of you and especially for the 1/2 Reale find!!!

That is a field of Dreams there. Congrats on all the finds. Love the 1780 Half Reale and Copper Token. The one piece you found Brad could it be a broken Barrel Tap. Take Care Brad

Nice hunt brother hope you have a great holiday weekend thank you so very much for sharing all your wonderful videos 👍👍❤️🇺🇸

Very true. I can only dream of detecting in a place like that. You are very blessed to have had that opportunity! Congratulations on sone wonderful finds!

I love Friday mornings because I get to watch a new GMMD video! I wasn’t ready for this one to be over. It was extra interesting! But Brad, please splurge a little on yourself and get a new pair of gloves 😂 The ones you’re wearing in this video are down to shreds and threads! Thanks for taking us all with you on your adventures!

How fun! Thank you for taking us along!

the barrel tap that goes into the barrel

It was 1857 when foreign coins were stripped of Legal Tender Status. Nice Dig!! Thx BraD

Good morning Brad and thumbs UP!

It's FRIDAY Thank you for weekly content 😊

Brass piece is part of a barrel tap.

Another amazing video with finds/relics that tell us about our country's past. Love the drone shots. Beautiful area to detect.

Man you are blessed!! Just two of anything you found is a thing that maybe but probly not would be a find of a lifetime for anyone else!! Wow, thanks for sharing. Totally awesome!! Good to see. Godspeed brother

Just fantastical. My wife and I have started getting into metal detecting from your vids. We live in the foot print of an old railroad town that was established in 1878 by William Emmerson Webster and the Montezuma Silver Mining Company partnered to develop a toll road over Webster Pass. And later added a narrow gauge RR from Denver to Como to service the miners/mines in the area. Quite a bit of history in the area. Nothing, however from the 1700s, which is just spectacular to find.

It is amazing that these old items were not very deep in the ground and not much plow damage.

BRAVO! We finally get to learn what some of the items that you discover are. This is a part of your videos that has been sorely missed in my opinion. I love it. Thanks.

As @margaretferjet1733 said at 10:00 broken barrel taps. Great dig Brad.

Brad, thank you for sharing your adventure with us!!! Great Hunt!!! Great Finds!!! Great Day!!! God Bless!!!

And all of us in the south dream of detecting places like that as well....glad you found some old coins and whatnot! I found my first gold coin last year up in Illinois and it was a 1849 one dollar gold coin!!! Tiny little coin and now I dig all those low numbers! Mike in sunny Florida

Another awesome video Brad. And I like all those cool relics and coins you guys found especially you Brad congrats on finding the 1814 Wellington token and the half real.

Brad thank you for the history lesson on the token ! I collect old money and tokens ! After I had find a 1877 Seated Liberty Dime on my great grandfather's homestead here in Kansas ! I was around 8 years old when I found it !

Let’s go, let’s go treasure and adventure🌺💕👵✌️

Love your friend representing Depoe Bay, Oregon! Way out here in the Pacific Northwest!!!

I so appreciate you picking up the pottery! I make jewelry from mine. They are so beautiful! ❤❤❤❤

Always look forward to seeing your videos. The coins are very cool. Have a great digging adventure!👍😘

Mystery item looks like part of a barrel tap.

Wow that button you nailed that one

Still would like to see your findings all cleaned up. A whole video of everything you’ve ever found. 👍💕

The button with a nail in it is an old English quick fix. If the button falls off and they are out and about, they would just poke a hole in the clothing and push the shank of the button through and then in the back of the clothing, push a nail through the eye of the shank. Instant fixed button!

I've been doing some reading about U.S. coinage. There was such a shortage of coins in the U.S. early on that many businesses made tokens to use as payment for goods. The British tried to control our coinage so that we could only trade with them, which was just one of the many things that drove us to independence.

What an amazing spot to hunt with friends. Congratulations to all on recovering some very cool, early history! Well done as always.

Hey man! Youre killin it, so awesome. I agree, the nail would have been used to hold the button on. Prob didnt last long though. I cant believe your still rockin that shovel, i woulda broke ten by now lol. Keep up the great videos man, makes fridays even better.

The ring you found looks like the rings that are in the oxen yoke that connect a team of oxen together the bar that goes between them to be exact. The silver “what’s it” looks to me like one of the cloak clasps that we as reenactors use to grab and hold the front of a cloak shut. 18th century age.

I really do love this hobby. Being able to meet new people who live all over that share your passion is what makes it even better. Another great video, Brad. Great finds you guys.

What a fun hunt! Nice bunch of finds Brad.

Really enjoying your hunts. It is amazing all the great finds you are having. Thank you for sharing.

Good Morning Brad ...It's nice to see the signs of early Summer showing up n your postings .. You had a good day "on the hunt" for lost treasure in the beautiful hills and fields of the Green Mountain State and should feel fortunate to have friends willing to share their "honey hole" with GMMD .. Looking forward to the next posting .. Stay well.

What awesome finds!! That is sure a great day🎉

Excellent video on "The" dream location to find treasure, Brad!👍👍 LoL I really enjoy and appreciate everything you put into taking us on your adventures. Your passion is contagious

ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO, thanks Brad. Be Well and Happy Fourth to ya.

great stuff thanks

Truly awesome. To be able to dig a spot like that is definitely on my bucket list. ✌❤

I love your excursions, you are the best!

Your videos have such a calming effect. I enjoying watching them to relax as much as I do to see what you unearth next.

It is so great to have friends like these to share adventures with. The finds are great and it is always a pleasure to see the enthusiasm that everyone has for finding pieces of history. Thanks to your two friends and thank you for letting us share it too.

I'm scottish and your Duke of Wellington coin jumped out at me as I live near a village called Glencaple and where I actually I'm looking over the river Nith and I can see the Dukes monument across the river on a hillside. Dumfries is my local town in southern Scotland known as galloway. Wellington Street in the village of Glencaple.❤

Thank you for your great videos, look forward to seeing them each Friday

Thank you for sharing. Awesome finds.

Brad and friends thank you for the adventure , seeing some amazing finds and history lessons !

Phil’s token is feral! It doesn’t want to be trapped! 😁

Love your channel! Great production, great music, great finds and interesting explanations! ❤! And now wonderful drone footage!

You all found some nice stuff. Congrats Brad on the half reale. I'd say the nail in the button was to hold it on the coat. Great location.

What an awesome day! I've had some good days so far this summer but this is over the top.

Thank you, awesome filming. Teaching us as you find something for us to learn or review.

fantastic find friend! Congratulations, greetings from Greece-Italy, Fausto. ( just subscribed to your channel)

What a session and great ID from Daniel on the barrel tap fragments.

And yet another intro..... So much talent!😊

Friends are awesome! Great finds to all 3 of you!! The long wooden rods you pictured I believe are for window blinds I have one that looks very similar for twisting them open or shut😊

And I love the music you choose Brad!!!❤

Really enjoy your going out with other people with similar interests. Beautiful scenery. Hope that wasn't litter in the field.😊

Once again I enjoyed every second of this weeks post. Love the music, love the scenery and love the history lesion. You would make a great History Teacher.

Brad love the music, love the finds. Bit of coin collecter so great to see the ones you find

Great site congratulations guys on all your finds ty for sharing

Very good day in the fields. Great old coins. I really like watching your videos, and this was a great video

Nice new intro music choice! Really enjoy watching you find treasures!

The button with the nail: my Grandfather was an officer in the Army during WW I. The buttons on his tunic were attached by cotter pins (rather than sewn) so they could be removed to polish them. Maybe the button originally was attached this way and the soldier lost the cotter, replacing it with a nail?

It's like stepping back in time 200 years every time I watch your videos- Congrats for all those senational finds!

always enjoy watching your discoveries--it's amazing that those coins retain their engraving over 250 years

Brad, you do a great job and find some amazing items. In addition to the historical value, some of your coins undoubtedly have intrinsic value. I would appreciate seeing how a few of your dug coins have graded with NGC or PCGS and and their estimated resale value. Thanks

Yes, Wellington. He defeated Napoleon at Waterloo and then created Beef Wellington. Delicious history.

Great video!

Good Morning, Another great opportunity on land with rich old history- Thank you for sharing..

Thanks for the adventure!

Great video once again. I cant wait to see the next one.

Awesome place and finds!

You've hit a hot spot.looks like a good time, keep going back no telling what you might find

Nice Wellington token, I found one here in NH about 4 years ago

Excellent finds

Good days on these guy’s land!!!

Richard Sharpe fans would tell you Wellington was THE British commander in the Napoleonic Wars, it was he that beat Napolean at Waterloo.

Cool video, as usual! I really like your style!

Great finds for sure!!
