Always appreciate the pain you take to offer a very good quality footage for us to watch. You remain, by far, my favorite North American metal detecting channel.

What great finds for today. Great day in the woods.

I too so enjoy your videos and learn much about our early country and inhabitants…you are a born teacher…thank you for sharing your valuable information with all of us…

Nice one Brad! It's always a pleasure to walk in the woods with you.

The "shear steel" is Sheffield (England) mid 1800's. Shear steel was several thin layers of steel forge welded together similar to what is now called 'damascus'. Pieces marked cast steel were slightly less quality. A friend collects kitchen cutlery and much of his that are marked Shear steel are 1830-40 era. Some as late as 1890. Majority with bone or antler handles.

I never knew state coppers existed until I started metal detecting! We learn so much about history with this hobby! My American history teacher would be so proud of me if he could see me now! LOL! ( I failed my first year of American history! LOL) I have found the furniture tacks as well. So unique

Nice hunt. Last week I found a Vermont state copper 1785 with the all seeing eye. I live in PA never thought I’d find one let alone here. As soon as I saw the mountain range I knew what it was from your logo.

Awesome day for you young man and stay blessed and see you again on the next episode 👍

Oh, I love those old keys.

Great video, and very nice finds!!! I bought a USB Microscope for about $30 (amazon) just so I could read the small things, and get better pictures of my finds, works great! Really gets in there, and helps see the small print.

I believe the piece with two loops that you called horse tack is actually a link from a chain pump, for a water well.

Some cool saves! Yes, the two looped piece is an old pump piece!

Adventure!

Very good finds! interesting pieces I loved the key! and beautiful landscapes, thanks for sharing, greetings!

My dad had a 'junk' store when I was a little girl...I remember his hundreds of keys on a rope!..bought out estates and that mystery of it all never left me. I love that key! Thanks for taking us along!

You surely got down to brass tacks on this one! ( I apologize for that! I couldn't resist.) Love the fork! Great video & great finds! Thanks for taking us with you!!

Often horse collars were padded with straw and closed with tacks. Some harness used them as well as saddles.

Furniture tacks were also used on the horn of saddles which were formed from wood

Great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

Great way to start off my Friday!

IAgain thanks love your show When I lived in Vermont and Penn ...found back to back 1786 conn. coppers they all went into my find box forgotten for the past 15 yrs.. until your show Just bought a new min/lab to get my grand kids into this ....Started metal detecting 1976 ...sort of still going ...keep up your great show Doug Ramsey

Thanks Brad you found some really great relics and those coins were incredible!

Awesome video, the cut coin would have been the equivalent of a farthing, cut coin into four, changed from fourth thing to farthing so I've hered, and in the UK they cut the farthing in half again to get a half farthing, the common old steel makers in England for cutlery was Sheffield steel,great finds Brad

I just discovered you today and have been binge watching. The quality of your videography is great, and you`re much more than a metal detectorist. You`re a storyteller, a photographer, a naturalist... you give so much to enjoy! I wondered if the "tacks" could be hobnails for boots.

Spring is my favorite time of year. A time of reawakening after the long sleep of winter.

Happy Friday! Brads on! Cool finds. Thank you, Joyce.🇺🇸. Connecticut . ARROW *🎱. ❤️.

Interesting find, lots of historical finds 👍

Brad - Nothing to be ashamed about or to apologize for. It was a great hunt! The coins were great! Thanks again for sharing & please be safe & take care.

Just wondering how far you are from Royalton Vermont? My 4th great grandfather George Avery was captured in the Revolutionary War raid in 1780 by the Mohawk and marched north and sold to the British. He was held in Canada for 2 years. There are articles online that you can Google about his version of the story

Good finds, that 2 prong fork I think is a cooking fork not a eating fork.

Love your videos, you add interesting information about your area as well as the objects you find.

Wow! Nice finds! I love old keys and specially old coins!

Hi Fellow Fans of Green Mountain and Brad... I look forward to reading all of your inputs after the videos.. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome skeleton key. Love the Connecticut copper. Great relics & buttons.

Forks were utilitarian, which is why they needed to be stronger. The Brass and Silver spoons would be from a Service Set. I agree with other the double rings is more likely a well chain, but I saw a very simple block and tackle set up with it. Another fabulous hunt!

Thank you for sharing. The forest is awesome, especially the fiddlers(ferns) and flowers. Always enjoy your videos.

Brad I have watched many of your videos. You do a fantastic job. Love the way u put your videos together. U do a nice job like your buddy ed an dig that beep and like Terrie and Cindy. Congratulations u have made quite a name for yourself. You have done veryw well. David Blackburn. Thanks for sharing

Great video as always Brad. Thanks. 👍✌

Brad the iron relic that looks like a pacifier is part of a well pump chain link. Love the finds!

Well, that 1/4 cent explains the term "pinching pennies", doesn't it! Great video ! Would really like to see the knife cleaned up a bit. I agree with the commenter who thought the nails w/ the leather might come from a blacksmith's forge. See ya next week!

Every time I get the urge to spend a grand on this hobby I get relief by watching videos such as this??

Very cool , I live in Northern VT and this inspires me to get out and do some metal detecting ! My favorite item was the big key .

Amazing finds. Thanks for sharing your spring adventure and hunt. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Love the key & Conn. copper awesome. Lots of buttons plus a draped bust.

I wouldnt even be able find Coins older than my City. Firstly documented around 800 as 2 villages, 1240 connected and Houses inside the "Old city" dating to around 1400. The 2 villages are more than 3000 years old where coins didnt even exist. The History behind almost every City around Europe is crazy interesting for me. Greetings from lower Bavaria.

Every time I watch your videos I want to move to Vermont just to dig relics. Congrats on the Connecticut Copper. And also the skeleton key. I recently found my 2nd intact key and it was about the same size as your. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and happy detecting.

Brad, another great video, another great hunt, fantastic permissions you get. The 1/4 cut coin was way cool. You find some awesome relics also and I like when you explain them. I won a T-Shirt from you 2 years ago when I knew the answer on your annual live stream, when you and Eddie forgot your toothbrushes on your road trip to an organized hunt. I am making people laugh on my Sunday morning weekly live streams by telling my viewers that I am SO MUCH your #1 fanboy, but I have to wait for the restraining order to expire before I can try to meet you. Gets a laugh every time. Keep up the great videos. Take Care. Rob / FlThunder

great hunt Brad ! LFOD !

Love the finds

Execellent hunt video, Brad. My one and only Vermont copper, I dug in Baltimore, MD.

Enjoyed your day,also. Thank you.

Greetings from western NC. Vermont is pretty country. Nice finds.

ZOOWEEMAMA!!!!! Amazing digs Brad!!

Nice finds

Your videos are always superior in visual beauty

Thank you Brad - for all you do. Beautiful Friday footage and finds. Hugs to the family and smack Eddie one time, eh? Chuck in NE Kansas

Great hunt once again! Ive always been told to soak coppers in perioxide or heat up the peroxide first. Dunno what u like to use but the before and after pics were pretty amazing.

Great adventure, great finds, Brad! 😎

Awesome hunt brad. Great vid as always. Thanks again for taking us along. As much as I envy the woods of New England you guys can keep the black flies 😜

I envy you living in Vermont. It is a beautiful state with hidden history yet to be found. If I close my eyes, my memories go back to a one-room school in a small town that my uncle bought there in Vermont almost 40-45 years ago. We all used to go up there on the weekends and the kids all slept on the floor in our sleeping bags. Such fun and great memories from those early years. I can almost smell the sent of pine from the trees that surrounded the school.

ayoooo good old coins good job

Quite often they use the brass tacks on trunks

Nice day to be out in the woods Brad that was quite the day of finds.

As always, I love your videos! Great finds and a beautiful day! One of these days I'm going to try my hand at this but you're my favorite!

That is so very interesting! I love finding old bottles, often in old buried trash pits. I wonder if the tech exists to detect glass beneath the soil.

Nice finds Brad!

Well done brad brother cracking finds lots of history there lots more to find i think brother 👍

Some nice coins and relics out of the ground Brad. Happy hunting and be well

Great digs Brad thanks for the video. Mike elbows deep in Wisconsin

I can't tell you how much I look forward to each new video. Thank you so much, Brad Martin!

Great finds Brad! 💚

Great video Brad 👍 my kids and I definitely enjoyed the video! Nice verity of relics coming out of the ground!

Great finds and video!

Great show man.

The key is to Sasquatches treasure chest.

Come on folks! This man deserves way more than 100k subscribers!

I love how you take us along on you searches. Your photography is splendid and I love that you record the flora and fauna, some of my favorite things to do. I’m in catch up mode so I watch a couple of your Vlogs (is that what they’re called?) every day.

Great video as always! Love that key. A skeleton key is on my bucket list.

14 buttons along with the awesome 2 pronged fork, 2 great Largies, the complete skeleton key and what I also believe is the oval part to yet another skeleton key 😃. Wonderful finds on a beautiful day in the Vermont mountains with Brad ☺️

Thank you for this interesting video & finds. It looks beautiful as the trees come into leaf & flowers bloom. The quarter cent reminded me of after my parents had passed. My siblings were bickering & my husband went off cut a cent into quarters & gave us a piece. Now if you are going to get upset over things I've divided it down to the last cent. Talk about bringing us back to reality.

A most enjoyable video today, Brad!. Thank you very much for sharing those interesting finds!

Good finds 👏

Iam pretty sure that thing with 2 rings is sasquatches Pacifier. You find the best variety of stuff . It's like opening presents at Christmas.

Love ya Brad... but every week I hear Brad Mar en, and Mou ens of Vermont. 2 n's in Mountains, there is a 'T' in Martin. Lots of love from Down Under

Hey you forgot the knife in the roundup! My first glimpse of that horse tack made me think pacifier…

Really cool finds

Very cool!

A quarter of a cent could probably buy land back in the day! Lol! It's amazing how much coin was worth, isn't it? Looking forward to next Friday already!

You should try to find a local blacksmith to sell those iron ingots to. Real wrought iron is getting harder to find, plus the story to go with it! Maybe even try on line sale, I bet it would be worth dragging home.

Great video, interesting and informative.

I can't wait to find something decent. Finally have permission to detect a 1791 farm, thats still being farmed today. But there's a lot of land, and I only did a tiny bit today. Found 1 square nail 😆.

Tacks could have been from a hide-covered trunk?

Check and see if the upholstery tacks wasn't used on saddles ?? down here in the south we find tacks like these in union Cavalry picket posts..

good finds Brad

Hope you took some of those fiddleheads home for dinner. Maybe you found parts to the original studded leather jacket

Enjoy the video and comments. Wondering what was made from the iron ingot.

Nice job Brad!!!!!

Cool journey

You had a nice day there.

Great episode 👍
