Treasure Hunter Makes MIND BLOWING Discovery with Metal Detector

Hey Folks! A few links for my other sites: My website: www.gmmd.us/ Facebook: facebook.com/GreenMountainMetalDetecting Instagram: @Green.Mountain.Metal.Detecting

Wow! The Jesuit ring blew me away. What a find!

IHS is "In Hoc Signo" which means "Under this sign" part of the phrase "In hoc signo vinces" or "Under this sign you will conquer."

Spirit blesses you... Tears flowing for the finds & finding the people of the earth... 🙏

Very interesting, as an American Indian I've been told many stories from my Grandparents about the old life. That was a plowed field and more than likely where they once danced, those were not arrow points, the holes were to string them together because they as jewelry and noise makers were part of the dance and celebrations. Nice finds Brad, many places like that out here in the west if you know what your looking at. 👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸

You must be at an Iroquois site. The chert you found is from spalling a large piece to get a workable piece.That's a madison point. The bow and arrow came into service 1000 years ago. Before the bow and arrow was atlatl a dart thrower that used projectile points. The native made pipes were of soft stone like steatite, catlinite

i used to work for an archeologist here in new mexico......i learned to spot flake scatter, the bits which were chipped off when the point was made. i look for a comfortable hilltop, or a place where i would like to sit and read or whatnot, and like as not i find flake scatter. easy to do in the desert, or any open place. once you learn to spot even pieces of points it gets easy to spot whole ones. after he taught me how to spot a point i pulled one out from his shoe......it was a rare point, around 8,000 yrs old, and it is recorded in the state register. it takes a bit of education to date a point, but it's worth pursuing when you find one. love your wonderfully educationalb videos!!

Lifetime's Best Finds You can never Forget , Congrads Brad Martin.

Your respect and reverence for the things you find and places you search is what brings me back to your channel. Good work 😁

I've spent years hunting native American art affects. love finding them and taking time to think about where and why the art affects are where they are. One I found on top of a flat rock above a small stream. Just thinking that that spear point had been exposed in that spot for a 1,000 of more years, still blows my mind.

Your enthusiasm is absolutely palpable! So glad you had fun!!

Those are some incredible finds. Some of the earliest metal artifacts in America.

Who needs the Discovery Channel, when there is Green Mountain:)

A once in a lifetime day with all of these very special finds. This could not have happened to someone more deserving. Congratulations Brad.

I will own my own metal detector one day!!! I have everything I need but a pin pointer and the metal detector, but when I do, It is ON!!

When I was a young boy and no houses around us , after a heavy rain I found flint and arrow heads laying on top of ground here in Georgia.

My Daddy had a way of "reading the land" and could walk right up to where Native American's made their points. Of course, this was in Virginia(Virginia Beach, usually on farm land). Maybe there is a book that can tell you where to find them in your area. I think that is how he learned about it. The cast off flint is a good place to look for whole points. Good for you on your find! If you have any flint nappers in your area, they may be able to tell you where to look for points in the lay of the land. We eventually moved to Texas(Central area) and he was able to find points here as well. I learned something today, kettle points, didn't know that was a thing.

Wow! Such an awesome find. Truly precious treasure

Being native american I am happy you and your friend shared the history of our people. Amazing finds.

I think your artifacts my be misidentified. The triangles were more likely tinklers, made to hang and jingle from clothing or bags. Sheet metals were used for points as well but they were rolled into cones and known as "rolled points" Tinklers and rolled points have been found everywhere from the west coast to Florida. A lot of trade silver was also used as decorations.
