Good job man! Don’t sell it! I found a nugget in a river in Northern California just walking through it! No metal detector, just it shining back up at me. I gave it to a friend. I kind of wish I still had it. That was a rare find.
CONGRATS ON YOUR AWESOME FINDS 😀😃🤪👍👍👍👍👍
What a day brother
I haven’t seen you in a while, seems like I have
a lot of catchup to do.
Ps. Great Day for you
fake as can be
Try spraying your clothes with Listerine to protect from blk flies and other insects.
The Palmer Method, along with various levels of awards, was still in use in 1962-1968, when I was in elementary school. The enamel pins were long gone, replaced by various metallic stickers shaped like ever-larger and more ornate stars — I always got a small black or gold star due to my terrible writing, while my best friend got all sorts of ribbons and rosettes.
Need to go back where you found that workers tag and nugget more likely there could be a mine in the area!
They would melt down the flack into exactly what u have. It was probably the owners 6 mo labor panning to aquire
The fact that you had to explain what the Palmer Method was stings more than I would like to admit lol.
6:52 – 7:15 One thing about your clips I find off putting is that they’re too polished and not live/in the moment. It’s obvious when you’re throwing to the camera that your ‘reaction’ is after the fact and not in the moment. It’s ‘professional’, yeah, and polished but it’s _too_ polished.
That’s a day you will never forget. Congrats.
Hehe, that´s a good find.
I don’t have a medical detector
A not exactly massive nugget but well done anyway. If you decide to head back there or any place like it remember the Aeroguard (insect repellent)
I would still be digging that spot non stop to this day!!
Amazing gold in Vermont I go all the time , there’s a really great miming town lost in the woods
Ay it’s a gold nugget
You say thunk. I say thought . Must be an east coast / west coast thing. That was some great finds .Keep detecting!
I am very much enjoying your videos, in Alaska it is not that unusual to find GOLD in a Road bed because the gravel is trucked in and in large amounts
Woh!!! Awesome finds!! Congratulations…even though it was a few months back. Great content!
Great comments on your great find and video. I agree with the theory of a “glacier drop”, and if that is the case I would research that area again. There could be more!
If you been medical detectin Fer a long time an you don’t know what a gold nugget looks like I just gota say wow cuz I don’t have one or found nugget an I know what gold looks like
Great channel. smooth delivery.
Congratulations on the great finds! The gold nugget reminds me of old letters I found in the attic of our family homestead (which had been built by ancestors in 1732, and the following generations had stored their treasured mementos in that attic.)
Anyhow, there was a batch of letters sent back home by the adventurous cousins who had gone west in the 1848 California gold rush. After many adventures getting there (one by sea around the Horn, the other overland by wagon train), one of them had sent nuggets back to the family. His letters described each nugget and gifted each small one to specific children, with the larger ones for his wife.
It’s possible your nugget could have had a similar story, it must have been relatively common for those eastern miners who struck gold to send some back home.
Our cousins never did come home, their fates remained a mystery.
$850.00 would have been worth over 26,000.00 back in 1910. It would have been a life changing back then.
Very disappointed to not see a “Gold Dance” Brad.
That nugget is worth at least double what that estimate was.
If he tripped, fell down, and came up with the nugget in his hand, then it was an accidental finding. But when you buy a metal detector and run a search pattern , then I submit that is not a accident!
the golden road….. ❌
The nugget could have come from gravel or road bed materials excavated somewhere else and used for the road. A friend of mine found a gold fleck in a piece of worn granite river stone in the gravel driveway of a North Philadelphia business.
I really enjoy your history lessons
Well, if this video doesn’t launch some new metal detecting hobbyists, I don’t know what will.
Was it gold? Come on … you leave like that?
Hi Brad! What is your go to metal detector?
The road upward u pointed out. Actually appears to me as if it was once a narrow river, stream. Check to see if a small pond or well was near there,mid like to know. There may have been a standing hand pump, especially if a school room or small store was close by, or even small holding of sheep, pigs or cows. ?? YES, ITS GOLD! So pleased for you
AH, YOU JUST SAID STREAM!! Maybe it was redirected, so the road was perhaps once the stream??
And that’s why you dig every target
Quite often stolen gold is melted and mixed with other stolen gold and then pored into rocks to make it look like native gold.
The reason is pure gold is 99.99 gold but also has a known amount of trace metals. It is very much like a finger print that is traceable.
By combining stolen gold in melted batches, pouring it into the ground and then finding it in nuggets from the ground Is a way of laundering it in my opinion.
Great video mate.
BLACK FLYS ! Defenders of the wilderness !
Gold beard would be proud.
Wow OMG 😲 😍!!! Lucky young man!! $$$$🤑. I need to find 1 per day for a year 😆😅🤣
Hey Brad, don’t know if you got Rattlers up there in your area, but maybe you should add snake gaiters to your arsenal just in case!
Love it .
Do you treasure hunt as your full-time job/income or is it a hobby?
Nice!!! 👌
put some bug repellent on your forehead, cheeks and chin. You will thank yourself for it.
A day like that would make anyone happy as a clam
Spit on the coin.
Wow, Vermont Gold- what a find!? I sensed your disbelief and slight shock 😳, congrats 🎉, it’s huge!
Also, A live stream might be fun & interesting because then your viewers could research the Found pieces live while you dig up more treasure 💰😃☯️
