We have been off the grid& full time RVing for 12 years now. We sold our house & most of our belongings. We now have a 34 foot travel trailer with 2 slideouts, we use a Honda 2000 generator for our power. We spend our summers in Northern Wisconsin as campground hosts and travel to warmer climates in the winter, we like Arizona the best. We hunt, trap & gather a lot of our own food. We can the food we gather like muskrats, deer, grouse, rabbits, squirrels, cattails, mushrooms, jams & jellies & anything else you can find in the wild. We love to metal detect mostly for fur trade & archaic copper, but I won't turn down a nice silver ring lost out in the desert of Arizona.
We sell our crafts at flea markets, craft shows & farmers markets. We make a lot if not all our crafts from the woods.
It depends on the depth of the copper, the size and the oxidation on it. It actually can have the numbers of an iron signal all the way up to 94. It's why I dig everything when I am out in the woods where a lot of people haven't been playing around.
@@chriskathy9865 I definitely appreciate the response. I was testing the 540 with a piece of native copper in quartz host and was getting low iron numbers anywhere from -2 to 3-4 with the iron exclusion off as well as a random 14.
@@bigcmcg3946 Yeah, like I said it can be all over the place. Some people seem to think they know what's in the ground by the numbers and sound a machine will make, but I have learned to just dig everything, a iron signal might be a nail, but it could also be a lighting bolt all too. Thanks for watching.
Yup the bad guys took away a month But from what I understand we’re going back to the 13 month 28 days With 1 free day they call it Sol is the month missing
I do not stack my jars, I have also switched from the water bath method to a steamer, much more efficient. I would recommend buying the ball canning book for more info.
The gregorian calender implemented, it changed the original calender we had,there were 13 months in a year,with 28 day intervals..the real new year was April the first..called Nisan
Or the blacks here in America before Europeans savagely invaded our lands. Don’t leave us out, we been here, we ain’t all from your travels. The 1828 dictionary will tell you who the original American is. Look up American in the 1828 dictionary
WHAT!??? This is so cool. I started learning about I ching and now the Mayan 13 moon Calander. I heard the Chinese legends and such that they had the Calander on the turtles back and that also lead to a math system that they used because of the dots on the turtles backs. I never knew this though. To see it in real life was amazing. I didn't know how they counted the Calander on a turtles back. That's incredible. God is in everything no matter how man distorts the information those who seek and pay attention to nature will follow and find the knowledge.
Good video. I use catfish nuggets from Walmart, cut up to smaller pieces and it works fine. Someone in another video said that catfish can't be pickled because it will turn mushy...which is totally incorrect. In fact, I find that it is very close to the taste and texture of herring. Plus, it is the cheapest boneless fish you are likely to find whether in a supermarket or a fish store. Also, since it is a freshwater fish that should be frozen to kill potential parasites, it's handy if it comes already frozen. On top of that, commercial freezers have a lower temperature than home freezers, so that is a extra safety feature. It is my understanding that the parasites that occur in freshwater fish to not occur in solely saltwater fish (caution...anadromous fish, which spend part of their lives in each of fresh & salt water can have those parasites. I'm not sure how common they are, but you don't want to take chances with them.)
Dec 22 is when the sun is at its lowest point in the horizon stays there for 3 days and starts rising on the 25th which is probably the new season or year .. I agree the calendar is all wrong.. like for example Oct should be the 8th month ..
You've been a great teacher, I had a double 00 hit on my at max by rush lake and like you said just dig it. Came up with a 1" 1/4 awl. Have to get some pics on all things wild........
Yep, you just never know what will be under your coil. Oxidation plays a big part in finding copper. Here is a link to the group, hope you post it. facebook.com/groups/270485909965678 Chris
Incredible finds. You did your homework, put up with the brush, bugs,wading through swamps &battling the weather. Congratulations on the finds of 10 lifetimes.
I've found 3 pieces just starting and am hooked. I have private property to hunt on the east shore of Rush lake winnebago cty. All where found around a cove from yesteryear. A knife, copper bead and heavily patina ladened spear point all down around 12 inches...
I recently found a beautiful copper knife east shore of rush lake, when I realized what was in my hand instant goosebumps. The area is rich in native history....
Thanks so much for sharing this profound wisdom. Love to learn more about the Native American culture. ❤ we in Europe have mainly lost all of that ancient wisdom, cause our earth- and wisdomkeepers have been erased 500-600 years ago. May the wisdom of old times find its awakening in the hearts of people, that we can go to a new area of peace and connection, amongst people and humanity with the land❤
They definitely are excellent mushrooms. I grew up in the Mt. Lassen area of Northern California. My parents were modern day hubter gatherers. We rarely ate anything bought from a grocery store. Both of my parents rifle and archery hinted mule deer, fished, gigged bull frogs, were harvested crawdads, foraged morel and puffball mushrooms, gooseberry, blackberry elderberry and they grew a garden. My grandma gave me the foraging bug as a child, taking me around the lakes, near marshes and through the woods, nibbling things. Those were the good ways. Thank you for sharing your adventures and bringing up nostalgic memories. I recently moved from Eastern Washington State to rural upstate NY. I have been itching to go find some fiddleheads and ramps. Neither of which I've tried yet. If I can ever find time to go exploring, perhaps I'll find a morel or two. So many new wild edible to forage for. Did you finish your bird house project ? That maple was a great find. I love the idea you had for it.
Yes I did finish the bird feeder. We love looking for and eating ramps and fiddleheads, really like the fiddleheads in butter, taste just like asparagus. Chris
I would sit atop a ladder and pull the pin cherries off the branches and toss them onto a tarp on the ground, everyone in the family got 1 tiny jar, I kept the rest, stuff was too good, anyone who tasted it fell in love with it.
I have done quite a bit of research on when the best time to pickle the cattails is, and all I've seen is to do it when their young. I just made some this past week, and they turned out great. The one can that didn't seal I turned into quick pickles and after 48 hours they taste fantastic. My question is, at the much older point that yours are at, does the end result in a very "pulpy fiberious" type "pickle" or are they soft and easy to eat? The younger ones are perfect, easy to chew and delicious. The slightly older ones are a bit chewy and fiberious. Thanks for the video, it was such a help!
I peel the older ones down to the white inner part, they are not chewy or stringy, they have always just turned out fine. Thanks for watching and the question. Chris
The 15 minutes start when you get the jars into the water bath and it starts to boil again. So it might take 10 minutes for it to start boiling again, that's when the time starts. Chris
