My guess about the button is that they made a larger button smaller to fit a smaller button hole, and it was easier to do that by making it square rather than trying to keep it round.

I used to watch every metal detecting video on KZfaq. Now, though, you are the only one I watch. Your genuineness and historical commentary along with your excitement and improvements you've made keep me coming back. I do envy your location and its history. I live in a location in SoCal whose history only dates back primarily to the depression era. I'm too poor and too old to travel to locations like yours so I live vicariously through your videos. Thank you for that and please keep doing what you do. You are the best!

By far my favorite metal detecting channel

This is the kind of outing I started watching Gmmd for long ago. Fine job Brad.

Let’s gooooo. Been sitting here holding my phone waiting for this to drop!

Awesome opportunity to hit untouched land like that! So excited for you that you now know there are other sites you have permission to hit! Thank you for taking us along!..

Hi Brad! This treasure hunt was so much fun! But wait… there’s more??? I can’t wait! Thanks for taking us along with you. These adventures give so much pleasure to us all! Hugs from KY💞TK

All metal detecting videos are not equal! Thank you for sharing your great content!

Sitting enjoying fresh ground and brewed coffee, homemade sourdough toast and my favorite Friday morning KZfaq show. What a fun hunt!

Nice hunt!! I love untouched home sites.

What an Epic day detecting untouched ground! From the British copper, to the State copper, Knee buckle and shoe buckle pieces. Piles of buttons too. Those are the best days digging history!

Great finds today Brad !! Love you're videos !!

A good Day For You Brad…. Great video, again.. Thanks…

Good morning Brad, thank you 😊

Great finds Brad. I LOVE your show. It was one of the reasons I bought myself a metal detector. Then I got Covid and haven't been able to get out there yet. Stamina seems to be keeping me down now. I usually watch on the TV but today I get to watch on my laptop so I Can send you a post and thank you for your show. Some day it would be awesome to see ALL your finds/Collection or displays. Have a GREAT DAY and stay healthy.🤩

Good hunt, cool finds! Keep on digging, Brad! Catch you on the next ✌️ 😊

Brad. What a awesome day of metal detecting for you especially the buttons and the British copper and the very cool knee buckle under a rock. The suspender clip, etc. this video really rocked like all your videos do.

I absolutely looove the thimbles! ❤ Also, looove the FOX CUFF! ❤❤❤❤❤X

Just another awesome adventure back in time- you can almost picture the people living there. Amazing history from an incredible site. Well done!

You have a beautiful smile. I would like to dig for treasures. May God be with with you on your journey.

An amazing place. If we had a time machine, can you imagine sitting with Washington and explaining what a metal detector is in our time?

Wonderful haul of relics Brad.

I always look forward to Friday’s knowing your out hunting for history and treasure. Thanks again for another great escape to the mountains of Vermont.

Excited to see what you find today!! 🇺🇸

Great day! Enjoyed as always!

So enjoying your videos Brad. Super great finds. Congrats. Happy digging and swinging!👍❤

I was just starting to comment I hope you keep these up, love the OG colonial woods metal detecting you do! Thanks so much awesome finds.. wish I could find cellar holes this old in pa!

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

I love your videos Brad! I love your music too!

Thanks!

I could watch you find buttons and buckles all day. Nice spot!!

Awesome finds!

Hello, this is my great friend 👍

The mountains on Vermont are breathtaking this time of year, and your camera skills are exceptional. Always brings me back to Wheelock decades back. I bought land on the western slope of Stannard Mountain. The winter scared me away, though. My SoCal blood could not cope.

Awesome video Brad! Can’t wait to see what else you come across on a return trip. All the best!

Congrats on an awesome hunt and some great old colonial-era finds. Kudos for braving the woods in warm weather - I avoid detecting the woods in summer months due to ticks and poison ivy, but I am looking forward to returning when cooler weather comes back. HH!

Excellent!!

Great finds!!!

It is so fun to walk with you. Thank you. Would love to go in real time but 2000 miles prevent that. Blessings

Awesome colonial day! Good hunt!

Always great to see what you're up to.😁

Thanks again for an amazing episode.

Awesome finds. Square button was interesting. I have found two repurposed square head stamps. Both from the same site although made slightly different. Thanks for sharing!!!

Great start to my weekend. Thank you Brad.❤

Brad thank you for all you do and love the mountains of Vermont . Hope to someday to get back

Beautiful knee buckle piece.

Amazing Brad glad you were able to find some treasures Ty for sharing always enjoy your videos I feel that only a few detectorist out there are really good your one of the few in my opinion . Your attention to detail and explaining along with your great video and story telling make you a great detectorist . Thanks again

Beautiful video.

Awesome video! I’m up in the NEK and a few years ago I found a lib cap large cent and a very thin and worn out silver spoon just under some moss on top of a stone wall that borders my property. They were right next to each other…I was blown away and they’re still one of my favorite finds

Love the education behind your finds, I just purchased a detector, pin pointer, small shovel😊 searching for old Wisconsin famsteads abandoned ones

Great video. Thanks

Nice finds Brad!

Fantastic finds! Live that square button!

Well done.

So, along with your finds you now have more historic places to detect. That's what I call a real bonus. Thanks for taking us along with you!

I love the quivering excitement in your 'Oooooohhhh", You found some great items! Thank you for sharing such a great hobby. So Fun!

Awesome hunt!!! I bet They turned that button into a cufflink... 🤔👍🏻😎

Brad, Awesome Video, Great Finds :-)

Brad, noticed your shovel was having a problem with roots. I purchased a shovel for my detecting that will cut through roots...its called 'The Root Assasin', I bought it at Home Depot.

Awesome finds Brad!!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!! ❤️

I enjoy the education and professionalism as he describes the finds. And he takes his time digging history. Thanks Brad well done ! The square modified button is awesome! Philip Spencer Ohio

Awesome!!

the square.. a cuff link perhaps?

Sweet finds this week. Congrats. Best of Luck on your bucket lister of the silver thimble. It was when I did a door knock at a mid 1800's house that I dug mine. Took me 6 years to find it back in 2022. The CONNEC : coppers where made in Vermont I think. Enjoy your weekend.

28th like, happy friday, i always watch your videos.

Your videos are history lesson.

What an amazing site! Why were these people trying to homestead in such an out-of-the-way place? Their courage never fails to amaze me. Thanks, Brad!

Wow, an old Connecticut copper. I'd love to follow along with you in the woods sometime...perhaps get you back down in CT.

Good trip

Some very Intnersting finds/Great show/Love the scenery/

Nice Dig Brad!!

Good seeing you again. The cuff link was a new one for me. Thank you much for taking the time to share these trips and fines. God bless be safe stay well until next time.

I always enjoy your videos, Brad. When I saw the title of this one, I was intrigued as once I was hunting an early colonial site here in Canada. Well, under a large flat rock(over two feet at least), I found a pair of silver rings wedding bands, I assume. There are no hallmarks on them, unfortunately which makes me feel like they were made local. Along with those were rev war buttons and early french colonial tokens.You just never know when or where. They continue to be one of my favorite recoveries. A fantastic site for my area. I hope that you ome across one yourself soon. Keep up the great work.

i been watching you a long time and enjoy your videos

Thanks Brad. Exciting to look in an untouched colonial spot.

It doesn’t matter what comes out, you’re enjoyment is infectious

This will be a great place to revisit. Great finds.

Great finds. Always enjoy watching.

Hope your family and home are safe from all the flooding. Can't wait to see what you find at the new places!

That "square" button is super neat!!! Love it!

I look forward to your videos every Friday.... You always fund the coolest stuff and I really enjoy the narrating .... Looking forward to next week!

Lot of good finds! Thank you for sharing

Great finds Brad! I do enjoy watching you find the 1700's items! So interesting in history!!

Greetings from South Carolina 🎉

great stuff Brad thanks

Thanks for including us, Brad! I'm glad that the Great green greedy bird hasn't gotten to you! You always seem to be happy with whatever you find, even if it's not worth lots of money.

Definitely a great day in the woods Brad!!!

Loved that cuff link with the fox on it. My favorite

❤😊I really appreciate your posts. I would’ve enjoyed doing what you are doing. I’m enjoying watching what you are doing 😅

Brad, you are the penultimate treasure hunter and You Tuber. From the beginning of your productions: 'I do this every Friday ...' . I feel that too many You Tuber's want to almost demand us viewers to 'like and subscribe'. You do not, and I appreciate that. BTW I am subscribed. Hopefully, you know how awesome your productions are, and "begging for clicks" is obviously below you. I totally appreciate that. When you added your shoulder cam it added more proof (as if we needed it) of the find and was as real as you can make it and you have mastered it - well done. BTW - thanks for your music that often rings in my heart and soul, and to be selfish, would also write more of that.

Awesome day

Absolutely gorgeous knee buckle!

Always fun! Thank you!!

I always learn something from you. Part of why I enjoy your channel. And I loved your movie ❤❤😂😂

Your channel is among my favorites, and I’m always surprised to see under 200k subscribers. Keep up the great and fascinating work, Brad!

Wow. Pocket full on this trip

As usual, great video! Thanks and keep them coming.

Awesome hunt 👍👍❤️

Good dig. The knee buckle is a beaut.

Hope y’all are safe and dry after the effects of Beryl. We got hit hard just south of Houston. Still no power yet. However I’ve seen on the news that Vermont has been hit with major flooding. Land down here is flat, a major flood plain. Vermont has mountains which causes fast moving flood waters, which can catch someone by surprise and cause terrible loss of life and property destruction down the line. Good luck
