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.

Agree with this theory rather than needing a square button.

That's what I was going to use as a comment on the modified button.👍

What about a gaming piece?

Maybe trousers or a heavy jacket? Gaming piece theory is pretty good too.

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

I used to watch every metal detecting video on KZread. 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.

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!..

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!

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

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

Good morning Brad, thank you 😊

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

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?

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

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

Excited to see what you find today!! 🇺🇸

Nice hunt!! I love untouched home sites.

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

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.

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!

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.🤩

He has a couple of videos showing his displays. Just type in Green Mountain Metal Detecting displays in KZread search. Several should come up.

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

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

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

Great start to my weekend. Thank you Brad.❤

Fantastic finds! Live that square button!

Definitely a great day in the woods Brad!!!

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

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

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!

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

Hello, this is my great friend 👍

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Thanks!

Awesome!!

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

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

the square.. a cuff link perhaps?

Excellent!!

great stuff Brad thanks

Thanks again for an amazing episode.

Wonderful haul of relics Brad.

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

Great day! Enjoyed as always!

Nice of that rock to protect the buckle for you! 😊

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.

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.

Your videos are history lesson.

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

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

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!!!

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.

Always fun! Thank you!!

Lot of good finds! Thank you for sharing

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

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

Nothing beats a virgin hunt! My favorite is the knee buckle, but it was all very good.

I suspect the "squared" button was manipulated so that it would be accommodated in a smaller button hole.

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

Great finds!!!

Great finds. Always enjoy watching.

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!

Great video. Thanks

Awesome finds!

Truly amazing work! I’m in Colorado and bought metal detector gear to discover the protected lands and the all mighty Rocky Mountain region where I live lol😂but I enjoy watching your adventures every Friday. ❤

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

made the button into a gaming piece

Well done.

Brad, I think you most valuable find in an old dirt road has to be that big gold nugget! Cheers, Rik Spector

Square button was probably used as a game piece.

Absolutely gorgeous knee buckle!

Awesome colonial day! Good hunt!

Greetings from South Carolina 🎉

Beautiful video.

Maybe they were considering manufacturing square buttons and this was a prototype? You know, thinking outside the box, ummm, I mean thinking outside the circle and into the "box". LOL Seriously, nice hunt, Gotta Love It!

Good stuff thanks so much

Interesting to me that you have dry stone walls there, which are a very much a feature of my part of England, The Lake District, and indeed my garden,

Beautiful knee buckle piece.

The square button was reused for a hole that was smaller than the button. They made the button smaller rather than widen the hole.

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

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

Well you killed it on this hunt!

It always seems funny to me that we rake and clear leaves every year, but in the woods, leaves fall for hundreds of years and no one clears them, but by mis summer you won't find a dead leaf on the ground.

SQUARE BUTTON IS FROM HORSE TACK. PROBABLY THE REINS DECORATION

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

With all the clothing items, suspenders, buttons and knee buckles, I think you were in a nudist colony! 1700's style! :)

Another cool video

Brad - Do you know Tom Wessels? He is a forensic ecologist who is expert at reading the forest woodlands. By looking at the stone walls, trees and terrain, he can tell you the history of the land, and he is a college professor in Keene, NH. He has excellent educational videos on KZread.
