1700's COINS ALONG THE CREEK - WHAT WAS THIS PLACE? METAL DETECTING AN OLD COLONIAL SITE 

You my friend had a dream hunt with those finds.

Thanks buddy. This site sure did not disappoint.

Hey Richard I think you are right, and I can't wait to get back there. This place has many places ripe for undiscovered history and what is amazing, we were heading to where the cannon battery stood and never made it that far. I hope to detect that creek before weather gets too cold too....cheers brother.

You and me both! I can't wait for the underbrush to die off so we can go back.....thanks for watching!!

Glad you enjoyed it friend. The coins at this site all seemed to have weathered well and I'm hopeful to get back there and do a deep dive.....

Hey Rik yep this site is virgin. No maps exist of this area in early times to really it is a shot in the dark when detecting and this site has nothing remarkable about it to indicate anything was ever there. Scott lucked out finding this but he is a lucky guy and a good one to have around.....just a good character.

Hey Gaye happy to help out and glad you enjoy Cliff's channel too. His content has its fans but I know Cliff personally and he is as authentic off screen as on screen. Super nice guy and I'm lucky for his friendship. I will check out Sidestep Adventures. Not sure I've seen that channel before...thanks for being a super fan of my channel.

You are my top favorite channel. You have been since I first learned how to do this on my tablet. My friend bought me this tablet about 6 or 7 years ago for a birthday present. She said she was tired of seeing me try to do things on my phone. At that time I on my did FB. She had a big deal top computer and printer. But all she ever did on it was play solitaire and she could do Emails. I am hoping this tablet lasts me forever. It means a lot to me because she passed last November 31. She was one of the best people ever and I really do miss her. She lived about 20 or 30 miles out in the country and we had worked together for 20 years at Wal-Mart. I had dentalnsurgery the week before thanksgiving and she made us thanksgiving dinner and made it so I could eat with my new dentures. We had an awesome time and I did some of the things she couilsnt do such as make her king size bed up. We talked at least once a day and we talked 3 times on Monday after thanksgiving. She was upset because she was trying to do her floors and she couldn't get it together to do them. I told her leave them sit down and watch NCIS her favorite show. I told her unwound be back j a couple days to do them. That was the last time we talked. Tuesday I called her 5 or 6 times and couldn't get her. I thought maybe her sister had come out to go shopping. Wednesday I called and no answer so I was texting her grandson who lives between Orlando and Tampa when my phone rang and it was him bawling his eyes out. All he could get our was a neighbor found gram dead. His mom her only surviving child was already getting ready to fly out from California. Helping them go thru her things and getting ready to out the house on the market was one of the hardest things ever. Sorry I didn't mean to put all this on you but some times it gets more than I can deal with. She was such a b it part of my life for over 20 years. The guy who delivers Pepsi product to Wal-Mart called her my better half one day and got so embarrassed when he realized what he said. I just laughed and told him it's ok it's better than calling us those two old annoying bitches. Lol. Her daughter asked if I would go to the store to let them know and the 1st person I saw was that guy. I started to tell him and tears came in his eyes and he just walked up and hugged me. There we were two adults crying loel babies in the aisle at Wal-Mart. Life goes on till our time comes. The thing I keep reminding myself is she is now reunited with her son Kenny and my son William and knowing those 3 they are having a party. Thsk you for being such a good kind caring man who keeps me entertained and who also us such a great role model and parent to your kids. God bless and keep you all safe in this crazy world.

@@gayeyount7948 thanks for sharing this with me. Your friend sounds like she was a hoot to be with but a real gem as a person. I shared your note with my wife since I hear stories like yours more often than you might believe. I have a handful of faithful fans facing life ending health issues and some have passed on I’m sure. I would hear their stories of struggle with inoperable cancer writing from the hospital or in a care facility then one day I never hear from them again so I know they’ve passed on. I have two fans who have been in the hospital for a long time, both have written comments on this video and if you read, one of them mentions surgery they just had and are thankful to be alive. They are elderly too. One writes from Bavaria by email now about sue and her elderly husband who live alone with their cat. Another lives in CA spent months in the hospital and took pictures out her window of the Hollywood sign. Most of my Patrons have bad health issues and elderly and I have gotten to know them personally. You can email me at appalachiannhistorydetectives@gmail.com and I can share more there not in public. Gaye I too have health issues that have made me realize my life is but a breath. I hold onto God for strength and comfort and for peace. I have seen the best in people and worst in people from this channel but there is one constant, God loves us and cares for his own. Whether you are a believer or not I do not know but I firmly believe in Christ and hold on to his promises because people let us down and life is short and fragile. We all have a date with death and I can’t imagine being hopeless with all the suffering and pain. Keep your faith in him and know he loves and cares for you. Amen. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I firmly believe in God. He's carried me for 75 years and thru some of the worst of times and some of the best. Without him I would have given up a long time ago. Thank you for your kind words and the kindness you show us old People. God bless and keep you. I pray for you and your family too.

Shepherdstown is rich in history (and relics)....any place there has potential. HH

That's the plan..

Thanks! It would fit the time period. Just waiting on the grass to die with the frosts to head back out there. I'm hopeful.

Thanks Jimmy

There are more trips planned to this place....I'm hopeful we can uncover that and more. Tnx

LOL. yeup. the site was not trashy and a high tone like that....good or bad. Most of the time, bad....LOL

I think you all will find a lot more good things at this place you did good so far there @@AppalachianHistoryDetectives

Pontil not pontic

Thanks for the info

Yes. Most have been wedding bands or hair berets of Pewter. I will be posting a video in 2 weeks finding a wedding band by a 1750-1760 Kentucky Long Rifle Trigger Guard.

Thanks Teresa.

Just briefly and I have a video of it from years back but there is a great deal of it in one property owners hand who has over 13,000 acres and the road and a camp are on it. I’m working on that permission. Thanks!

Well.....I love TN so I will excuse your love for the Irish. I was at the game when we played Lou Holtz and the Irish and beat them. I also spent time in Colliersville outside of Memphis. Great music over there. Maryland is only an hours drive from my place but man it is so built up. I'm surprised anyone can detect over there....

Yep. I have many KGs in my collection but this one is a first for that year and coveted for the very reason you gave. Thanks for watching....

Thanks 👍

Thanks! Will do!

Us too! We haven't been back yet, but its in the works....Thanks Tony....HH

Welcome. Will be looking forward to it

Thanks for the info

Hey Penny this place I'm itching to get back too. It is possibly the oldest site sans the Kale Farm, that I have detected. I would like to check out that creek and spring house for sure. We just haven't been back there yet. Lots more places on this farm to explore too including a cannon battery that was on it.

Glad you enjoyed it...thanks for checking out my channel and videos.

Holy Smokes....there is a cannon battery up the hill from this location on the same farm. We plan on detecting that area too.....this site is right on a battle field so you might be right on the mark!!! Thanks!

To this day, this spot is a mystery to both Scott and I. We are waiting for Fall to go back and expand our search, especially up that creek. We could not do it justice on this trip...beautiful old coins....

I gather because pockets in britches weren't invited to sometime later in the 1800's so coins had holes in them and worn around the neck. If the string broke, all the coins were lost. Also they would carry them in pouches. If the string came untied, they would lose them. It is easier finding old coins at old sites than finding coins post Civil War. Crazy I know.

Sorry!

Hey thanks buddy. I may have to save it from its fate when I go back.

Could you imagine what that area looked like back then....

Thanks! You too!

Love that "dirt fishing"!😊

Hey my friend I always leave something behind so I have something to find the next trip there. 😂😂

Tom I can't wait to get back to this farm....there are many places on it that has this potential....

Then you know....just driving through that area wrecks of history and I told Scott everywhere in that town has the potential for something good.

Hey Allen thanks for watching buddy.....have a great week.

Hey Barry thanks for letting me know. I might just have to save that piece from its fate. I've only seen a couple of these dug around here. Wish I could have uncovered the whole thing.

LOL.....

it was sold to a dealer who diffused it.

Thanks friend. Both of us were at a loss for words on that piece and ironically we knew what it was but just drew a blank at the same time.

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives I know the feeling lol. Seems like a cool site. Great editing too!

Thanks Jerry. Luck strikes every now and then.

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives hey you ain’t going to find it unless you try. I haven’t been out in a while man. I’m jonesing

@@centralpametaldetectorist289 LOL me either Jerry. The videos I’m posting are from Spring that I hadn’t released until now. It was too hot to get out this summer. The rain has come and temps are cooling so it’s getting close.

I might just have to bring it home. It looked old for sure...I wish I could find the other part but it is likely there in the ground.

Hey Steve hang in there buddy. I pray that healing comes quickly for ya my friend. Hate that our Vols failed to show up against Florida and the team that did, sure looked bad on TV.

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives yes they did. The offensive line didn’t show up.

I know....shaking my head.

Thanks Twins....site's like this aren't easy to find and we never forget them when they are uncovered. That Rat Tail spoon bowl will be in my display. It is a remarkable piece with that design. Cheers!!

I tell you that Manticore sure was scoring up some big hits. I was feeling left out but the NOX pulled me through....

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives it is amazing how technology progresses so fast.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
