Awesome finds
A few years ago they were going for 150.00 a lb for mushrooms.
Great video also loose stone walls can also be used for protection on a battle field depending on the history of the place your at. I like the way you do things 😁
Those mushrooms that grow on the trees are a edible.
I know this may sound like an odd way to protect your finds but this is what we have done in our younger year’s when we went hunting for precious metal’s and stone’s we wrapped them in Great Value Diapers which makes a great way to keep things you find from scratching, chipping, cracking or breaking. With the sticky tabs already attached it makes it easy to secure your treasures. Just thought I would share that.
Nice 👍
Gold prospecting trick once target is dug up re scan your hoe with detector
Hello Brad,,,love the show,watch often. The music is simply awesome, very classy indeed. Keep it up, I’ll be watching here in south Georgia …..
8:40 it looks like a piece of shrapnel almost
Can anyone comment on the does anyone have experience with the Hawkeye pulse deep metal detector?
BROTHER!
I have watched and loved every aspect of you and your channel for a year now. I found my passion for mushrooms/mycology about the same time I found your channel and I have been beside myself to ask you if you look for the "choice edibles"?! PLEASE find someone knowledgeable about myco life in your area that is local to you that you can take with you on one of your adventures (moist conditions are better!) to point out – and positively identify both the real deal as well as the poisonous "look-a-likes" so that you can bring back ALL of the food that you have been walking past!
God made food for us to forage for everywhere at all times of the year. Mushrooms are literally delicious meat on a stick!
Bring a porous/net type bag/basket for collection – not plastic! Mushrooms breath oxygen and are easily suffocated as well as the spores they may drop also will be dispersed as you travel 👍🏼
Usually you find HEN of the woos around old oaks or in Oak stands from September thru October . Chicken of the woods ( Sulfur Shelf) you’ll find in the Autumn growing on stumps old logs ! And there people that gather and sell mushrooms to restaurants . But remember there are mushrooms that one bite can kill ! Death caps and destroying angles ! Are just two of the more deadly ! So you must be damn sure of what you are picking ! If you aren’t sure ?! DON’T EAT IT !
Nice button with shank attached
I AGREE…CROATIL BEII{misspelled)
Quit scratching the coins, Use water to clean. You look like a beginner……..
Awesome video’s!!! Great finds for sure!!
Wonderful 😊
That Iron piece might be a wedge for an axe head.
Morels, definitely yes.
One of the buttons you found with the flower looks like a fleur-de-lis.
The first "Coral" mushroom is just that called coral mushroom and most are edible.
such a beautiful area
@ Brad What type of Metal detector do you use? Love the vids. Keep ‘em coming.
That thing you think is a bell might very well be a gorget, from a military uniform or Indian trade piece
You bring the future into the past just by being there…you are what a man of their future looks like! Seriously!
You better take a net bag with you because you can get in trouble caring them in a plastic bag. Because and a net bag the spores from the mushrooms have a chance to fall on the ground and grow later
A basket would be better to put the mushrooms in, plastic will hold to much moisture and no air flow so they will start to break down.
Just looked it up…Four George 11 coins…wow, what about $30,000? Love your story tilling in your shows.
Do you get the orange slimy fungus on logs, in a damp area? LOVE forest fungus here in WA state. Another orange fungus looks just like someone has thrown around the peels of oranges, and is called just that.
I am a newbie, just got your Beginners Book and will inherit a machine in the mail now. No idea what kind, I am stoked. Just so enjoy this channel, and fabulous tunes.
Coins and nails sounds like a small chest has rotted away there.
How much are these coins worth today? Can anyone tell me?
You could cut the video in half if there wasn’t so much BS. Block.
How cool! Nothing like finding history and knowing the last time someone touched these artifacts was more than a hundred years ago.
Replace all divots! That way ya don’t twist yer ankle the next time ya walk thru.
During the French and Indian war Rogers Rangers made a raid into Quebec, one of the items that was looted from a church during that raid was a solid silver statue of the Madonna, during the French Pursuit of the raiders ( known as the battle on snowshoes, and the battle of bloody pond,) the raiders hid the heavier items, including the statue, intending to return for them later, but that return never occurred, the statue was never recovered so if the exact route that Rogers used during this retreat could be ascertained, ( one thing that is known is that the statue was hidden during an ascent to a pass in the mountains that involved a difficult climb) and the areas to either side of that trail were to be checked, then that treasure could be found.
Just A Thought I Just Had,
I Think It May Not Hurt To Step Off Say Up To Or So 30 Steps All Around The Stone Wall, Just in Case
They Thought The Same Way WHO KNOWS ???
go get it dude
I just have to add here, i love the music you play in th back ground. Sweet stuff!
Over the years I’ve watch you step over ten’s of 1000’s of Dollars worth of editable Mushrooms. Just this video alone you passed up a couple hundred $$ not to mention they taste good too!
6:57 I’m sure someone has probably said this, but that fungus is a "coral fungus". What a beautifully appropriate common name for the thing.
Hearing your intro reminded me of when I was doing research on places to hunt. I read about large amounts of Confederate gold and silver coins accidentally lost/dumped in or along the Saluda River here in SC. It’s a pretty long river here, and has no information exactly where it could be, but it gives me hope I could one day find stuff. Now the Saluda river runs right through lake Greenwood, so I hope it wouldn’t be at the bottom of the lake. Lake Greenwood didn’t exist back then. If there IS stuff at the bottom, it will remain there. The lake is way too dirty to go diving. I’ll just do my searches along the banks and shallow areas. I just wish we had good soil like yall do there. We got hard clay to dig through. Not fun. Lol
I love your cinematography Brad! It’s lovely to see your local mushrooms and other flora and fauna.
Are the small buckles, shoe buckles? Would indicate 18th century
Love your videos and commentary. Thanks for the great work and look forward to watching more from you.
I think the plain piece of flat iron is a wedge pin.
GOOD JOB!!!!❤
THAT’S what I love about detecting. You don’t know what you’re going to run into! And to think that those coins and buttons haven’t been touched in several hundred years. If those finds could only speak to us..the tales they could tell! Keep up the great work Brad!
Great video! Great finds! Detected with a Whites forty years ago. Now that I am retired, I have an Equinox 600 in the mail!
Detecting technology has come a loooong way! Can’t wait to head out into our New England woods and hunt again! Thanks for reigniting the interest in our mutual hobby again!
That curved metal thingy could be a former for the toe of a boot. Gives shape and a measure of safety.
that peice of metal with coin spill is probably a barrel wedge to hold rifle barrel to stock , check closer
