You chose the perfect intro music for this film. It absolutely set the mood with the footage to exceptional storytelling. Great job Todd!

@anythingbutgarrett 5 месяцев назад

I agree. He does a great job with this and capturing the mood.

I love seeing the homes from back then. It gives me an idea what my ancestors lived in. My 3rd great grandfather was born " somewhere" in Virginia in 1803. And that is where my brick wall is in my researching. All the rest of my tree is going great.genealogy can be fun and at the same time a great big headache.

Really well put together video Todd. It could be two separate videos but I’m glad it was one and you had ended the day finding so much great stuff

@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat 5 месяцев назад

Todd, beautiful old homesteads, don’t be to disappointed you did not find much, people were poor back then, we have experienced the same thing. Nice to see Brian again and meet Scott. That field that will be developed keeps producing. God Bless.👍👏😀

@AppalachianHistoryDetectives 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Twins. All the rich settlers lived on the best land along the coast. People went west searching for land and were some of the poorest entering the country. It's a tale of 2 stories really.

@ptaylor4923 5 месяцев назад

I want both houses. The Stine fireplaces were so well built they could be new. Just strip outer boards. Tag and dismantle the logs. Repair the good ones and replace the rotten ones. Repair/build new foundation and put it back together again. Put on a new roof.. The encroachment of foliage is going to make it venerable to decay faster. The first house initially was for all seasons and that low roof would have made heating that room easier. The floor joists for 2nd floor are in great shape. Of course you know where I'd like to move them to. 😉 I love history, but will he ever do multiple platforms. Many of us won't do Facebook. This was wonderful and just what I needed!

Hi Todd . Still following you. Been away a little while though. Lost my brother and I have not been much into doing metal detecting or any of my hobbies. But, you are still my favorite metal detectorist and story teller. Jaye

@michaelmartin4816 5 месяцев назад

When you said that you found something that you find often & if you watch the channel you'll know, I figured it was either a harmonica reed or a part of a pocket watch! LoL! Another great video! It's a shame that the battlefield or at least a large portion of it can't be preserved. Stay safe!

@AppalachianHistoryDetectives 5 месяцев назад

You Bet....funny thing, I went out yesterday to another new site and found more Harmonica Reeds...LOL. I did find several Accordian Reeds as well which I don't find so much of.

@JusDirtfishin 5 месяцев назад

It’s always nice to have choices when one spot doesn’t pan out. That does suck that the old homestead didn’t pan out. There might be something laying in the ground there. Just have to find it.

@AppalachianHistoryDetectives 5 месяцев назад

Hey Tony, yep a disappointment but if this place had been detected all of these high tones would have been dug and discarded. I think they were just poor which is unsurprising.

@JusDirtfishin 5 месяцев назад

Understandable. Hopefully if you go back and give it one more try. Hopefully you can squeeze something out. Take the deus ii there and see what it can do.

Im not absolutely certain but in places I have seen low ceilings, it is thought to make them warmer in winter.

Yep that is what I heard from my Great Grandma too...Less space to heat and it brought the warmth down to the "living" space.

Thanks Todd, I'm Still recovering after my Hospital stay. I'm getting my strength back so I can do some walking and digging. I hope you and your family are doing well, I did get out for about 15 minutes near my home and found a broken pewter baby spoon the bowl was gone but I got the handle , hoping to do more detecting when I get stronger. Keep up the good videos I always enjoy them.

It really is a shame that they are going to obliterate that field. I sure hope you can get out there some more before they do! It seems that this site just keeps showing more and more. Good luck. It will be several months before I will be allowed to use my metal detector. Open heart cardiac bypass surgery this coming Wed. Prayers greatly appreciated.

Hey Lynn so sorry to hear that you are having health issues too. Several others have commented on here about having serious health issues that have been fans of my channel for a long time. I've had to dial back the videos because I can't get out either so much due to my hand and the complications to surgery I had on it this year.
