FORGOTTEN HISTORY UNCOVERED! ANTIQUE BOTTLE SEARCH LEADS TO FORGOTTEN MINE!! 

It seems a lot of people are very interested in antique bottles and relics but may have the wrong impression. The hobby can appear easy as the videos are usually combined days in multiple creeks or locations. What makes a 10 minute video is hours and hours of work. That’s why I think it is important to throw scouting videos in to show what we do to find new areas! I hope y’all enjoy these even though we may not find the holy grail! It is all part of the journey and never forget the real treasure is in the adventure!

My grandfather was out on his own at age 8. Can you imagine being on your own at 8 yrs old? He retired from Santa Fe railroad and did pretty well for himself.

Great video. Man out west those air shafts get up to 100 feet across and you can’t see them till you walk up in them bushes grow around the edge and they look like any part of the desert. People on dirt bikes have gone over hills and straight down into them. There is a couple kids are still in one because they couldn’t ever get them out. Look up Nelson Nevada .

O that piece of petrified wood is just beautiful, awesome find!

I've never been able to pack out old bricks with writing on them but when I get a house I plan on keeping for a long time (I'm 13 I still live with my parents of course) I plan on taking them and building a walkway

Hello from Tennessee. I love the history you have in your videos. Keep them coming. I’ll be watching.

As an Alabama native, I confirm we really only get 3 or 4 perfect weather days a year. The rest are too hot, too cold or have tornado and hurricane warnings.

Very cool. That shaft was interesting. Be cool to send a camera down it? No telling what or who fell down there.

Such fun! You never know what an area may deliver! The history is fascinating!

Love the scenery you shared with us Brandon Sad you did not find what you was after but i enjoyed it Thankyou

Lucky little turtle. He is living the natural life. I remember when the Woolworth store had a big tank with turtles that size with their shell painted with scenes. They were sold for a couple of dollars as “pets”.

Nice explore, Brandon! Those mine sites are scary to me...please watch where you put your feet!!!💖

Cool location , good luck ,treasures await .

I find "southern clay manufacturing co." Embossed and debossed bricks all over at my spot. Always cell phones, credit cards, IDs and even money turn up as well. The crush was cool. I never find no deposits whole. Heck id be happy with em lol thanks for sharing.

You gotta check those banks! Especially around that old bridge!!💜

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! LFOD!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I absolutely love old glass anything! Especially green and blue. Nothing to do with money. I like the History and LOVE the glass!

Brandon, Child labor is a real dark side to the industrial age, 5- and 6-year-old working 12-hour shifts is criminal. IT's good for people to see what really goes into making a video, they ought to see all the editing and uploading time. It may be interesting but it's WORK! Cheers, Rik Spector

That was so interesting, thank you for letting us know how difficult it is to get to and find places I truly didn't realize, great job as always. 😀👍💪

Like the history for sure

I was really hoping for some older goodies to come out of that creek Brandon! Maybe the next one will be "the one"! Walk carefully in those woods and I'm betting if you saw a Coke hutch in one of those 30 foot deep holes, all we'd see is you diving in head first!👍🇺🇸

Brandan, I enjoyed this video a lot. As you have a lot of history about it. The creek water was so clear ( sad there wasn’t much there) but learning about these mind shafts n those deep holes is scary. Interesting about the child labor at that mill. I had no idea about this. Women n young daughters working from 6 am to 6 pm just blows my mind. Was this a coal mine mill? I love the great information you give. ♥️♥️😊👍👍

That looks like area aqua chigger was crawling around in trying to find the whole cave!! So cool

Getting ready to head to the Steele County MN Free Fair in a few hours. I enjoy visiting the home improvement salesmen, listening to their assurances that Product X is suitable to Task 1, then explaining to them that either their own specs disallow such use our it is contrary to code. I'm just shitty that way. A few years ago a little girl lost control of her show animal and I was unexpectedly taken to the ground by a runaway swine. I don't think the salesmen were involved.

Thank you was nice to see.

Good video enjoyed the history, see y’all on the next one 🇺🇸

Great scouting trip! Lots of potential guy's. Enjoyed the video! Stay safe and all the best!

You know your old when cell phones and laptop computers are in the creek.

Love the history

That's so sad and horrible what the children and women had to endure in the industrial era 😔. My granddaughter is 5, I couldn't imagine having my young child being sent to work for the family to survive. This wasn't work with that mill, it was straight up a work prison 🤨. Lol death by turtles 😂. Research is the key to finding the better sites to hunt ☺️

Good job

Eaten by turtles. LOL

Snapping Turtles can snap under water .so you know great save on all the 🐢 s

2900 more likes to go 👍👍👍

I would love to have that twisted stick you would’ve had to of stepped over going a crossed the coal path right after you show that spider.

Not bad like to see the next video 👍 .... 😇

Hey, this will be a different request. My wife is instructor at a major university in NC, teaching freshman English. She also combines some history in her teaching, since she is not political correct. That lump of coal that you found, I want that lump of coal for her classes, nearly 100% of her students have never seen much less touch a piece of coal. 'Bama is one state that she doesn't have a sample from. Got her pieces from PA, OH, KY, TN, WVA and NC. You would be amazed at how a simple piece of coal tying it into early American English/Colonial draws more interest to her teaching. Remember, these kid have no idea about coal other than it damages the environment. Sure would like to have that lump of coal from her classes. will pay shipping, etc to have it,

Good jpb

Brandon I certainly hope you receive well over 3000 likes but I don't want to see either of you risk your life in any situation!

What state are y’all in?

Ok more information What kind mill What kind mine ?????????????? Thanks

Love your videos, try to watch some others but sadly there just not as good for the most part.

I want let my 15 year girl work because all of creeps we have now days. I feel bad for them little girls that was all they knew. I'm willing to bet you they were used for more than 1 type of work also if you catch my drift

Stomping around the woods never gets old. Add some historical research with a story and it makes me want more. Keep it coming my friend!

I enjoy just getting a glimpse into your beautiful side of the country. I'm shocked that the mines aren't covered. They do a fairly good job here in Arizona of covering up the mine shafts for safety, but unfortunately some get uncovered due to age, weather and vandalism. Thank you for taking us on your walkabouts.. Stay safe and happy hunting.

That would be excellent if you sent a camera down that hole.... do it ..do it.🤭✌ Love to run a metal detector in that creek...

Loved the Crush bottle, people don't realize what yall go through to find your bottles. Great video

Your adventures are always interesting whether u find any keepers or not!! 😎👍

Finally found my first hutch today. Thanks for the weekly inspiration, Brandon!

well we got 584 likes.... a bit short! Oh, and the turtle was a new hatch! a real baby.

And the adventures continue👍🏻

My grandfather was born in 1901 however I’m probably old enough to be your mom. But nothing yikes my chain more then to know that they were kids like that, we wouldn’t even let our son work when he was in high school.

Great new area to explore. I’d wait till the spiders retreat. If I researched correctly the Killian brick comes from South Carolina. Did you take it?

Hi.

I found bricks from Glasgow Scotland dated 1878 here. I found some Hutchs in this dump from our mill here. Machine shop scraps abound and I've found the oldest coins of my life, 1872 Quarter, 1883 Nickel....I find a lot of coal here, blacksmiths probably. It was probably brought from Washington State or Queensland Australia. Inter-Island Steam Navigation sold it commercially. The company became Hawaiian Airlines in 1940.

Are you reporting these air intakes? I mean super fun if you know how to rope it.

Great video my friend

KOOL VIDEO

Stay Safe !

❤

Not sure about the mines, but looking for bottles looks fun

Recon's just as interesting! Love your videos, the bottles, the historical context, everything! Keep up the great work!

Awesome, I love Friday’s because of this channel 😎👍

Hi Brandon, with spiders like that and random holes everywhere, I’ll just stay here on my couch in Connecticut and watch you. Lol lol Stay safe sunshine. See what the metal detectors bring. Later, Joy ❤️🇺🇸

This is interesting. I like the way your friend scoped it out before hand. Instead of aimlessly walking around the woods. I gotta say. I found the best stuff that way. Looking forward to the next episode.

Greetings from Tunica, Mississippi. I want to come to Alabama and go bottle hunting with you.

The title of this video is literally a great title for how my day turns out so many times here in Walker county in and around Cordova Barney opening and Parrish if you don't watch where you're going you'll straight up fall in an air shaft just like that one

Great finds or not its always fun goin along with ya!! Enjoyed it.👍👍

I love watching your videos and I know a lot of hard work is put in. Thank you so much for sharing all of it with us!

I'd go headfirst down that hole for 3 thousand Coke Hutches or 1 like 🤔🍻

Enjoyed the video, thanks

cool video

When I lived in snead I found lots of bricks that said warrior. Common I guess but anytime I find a brick with makers mark I like it . It's about history. As you might have guessed I just found your channel and have binged watched about a dozen videos lol

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

thanks for sharing this recon. i look forward to your return trip/video. hopefully y'all land on some big finds. happy hunting.

Always have a friend walk in front with a stick.....lol

Sorry if this is a dumb question but are the location of air intakes marked somewhere? If someone goes missing in an area with air intakes or sink holes do rescuers have maps that show things like that as locations to search?

Hope you covered it up with branches or something

Okay okay I liked the video but please don't go down there. The rc car with camera is a cool idea though 👍

Anything about History in the South I just love ! Great job keep it up

❤️👍
