I started this channel to teach my homeschooled kids tangible history by bringing the boring history pages alive. Are you laughing yet? My teenaged son suggested history needed to be more than reading, it needed to be tangible and engaging. I decided to buy a Metal Detector and a GoPro and search for it. In fact, I had to self learn through watching videos just like you. History is a passion of mine and learning about those who came before provides appreciation for the lives they lived. I strive to preserve their imprint on the land, through storytelling and metal detecting. I do not consider myself a treasure hunter, but a history hunter trying to connect the missing dots. I hope you join me in this adventure.
Let’s eat. I have pulled a lot of them when I was a boy and granny would cook them. You could smell them cooking 🍳 down the road. I loved them. Stay safe say hi to your family for me and I’m heading to the beach.
I have never eaten ramps, but I have heard of them. Hopefully, some day I’ll get to have some. I absolutely cook every day with onions and garlic, so I know everyone in my house will love them. Very informative video, thank you. 😊
Awesome hunt congrats on your watch winding key I like to boil my ramps then fry with scrambled eggs and then put vinegar over em but definitely fry em in iron skillet with bacon grease mmmmm boy my mouth is watering just thinking bout em lol God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Engaging pleasant style makes it easy to listen and learn some stuff. Ramps were new and something to look for in the woods. A miner's tag was unknown to someone who does not live in Appalachia.
I would have swung around the block remnants of the filled in spring head. A good 20' radius around that, even into the creek. But it's always disappointing when you realize a relic site has been filled in with later topsoil. One way to tell ahead of time is, can you see the roots of the trees in the area? Or is the dirt above the root line? That's one way to know.
I'm hoping to go back and spend more time at this site...especially now that I read a story in a book of an event that happened at this very house and spring. A crime happened there.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives Yeah I'd definitely go back to that site. And would detect around the spring head foundation area where the iron gate remnants were.
Todd, What a nice diversity of things, usefully or otherwise:) Your home has a nice Cathedral ceiling, really nice light and I bet the view is awesome. Was that your better half, the G.G.C graduate, in the background? Cheers, Rik Spector
Those ramps were definitely the treasure of the day. I got my schooling on ramps by the Cranberry river in Richwood wv...which is by the way, the ramp capital of the world.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives very cool. We camped and fished on the cranberry for a weekend every year back in the 90s. Got a lot of memories and pictures of good times on the cranberry. I also have physical evidence of a big black bear that tried to drag my large plastic container into the woods.
Congratulations Todd on your first watch tool! You also found some more miners tags, so cool! Thanks for showing me how to cook ramps properly! I appreciate the adventures you take us on! Thanks again.
I'm sorry friend. We had all of that, and show it at the entrance with the Backpacks. This is a private cave and the owner said it was just a small cave so yes, we were not prepared regarding lights.
That’s looks like devils kitchen in Gettysburg national military park.. half a click up big round top from devils den.. MF if id’ve known that shit! Id’ve been rich a long time ago!🤣
