This day started like any other day out detecting but quickly turned into the best dig I've ever had. No sign a house ever stood there and I needed a few more clips to make a video...then I make a shocking discovery.....still speechless.

Son, I have a feeling at the old 🎉 may have found the place they did their picnics, or possibly even the old time church Revivals. I am 70 and once I retired as a counselor for the State of Virginia, I went back to college for a masters degree in theology. I really admire the scripture at the end of your videos. I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and metal detect very old colonial sites, Civil War Union and Confederate sites as well. God bless

@@rolandtomkellam9306 Thanks Roland. I periodically get over to Chincoteague and sometimes down to Virginia Beach (used to live there).

I wish I had kept some of those old coins my grandma used to give us years ago but being a kid the o nky thing we could think of was going to the store. We has no idea we were spending coins that would be worth money one day. Some were from the late 1800s. Dumb kids. Lol.

Hi Todd I have a question for you why don’t you show us all your digs in real time seems like your plugs are already dug up when you show us , then your find is right in front of you , I am a fellow detector my self and things aren’t as easy as you make them seem , beautiful country there by the way
@AppalachianHistoryDetectives
Thanks CA Nomad. In this hunt I had my iPhone which is tough to hold and dig at the same time. I normally have a GoPro on a tripod. In my earlier videos I would film everything the entire dig but received backlash about doing this as many felt it was boring or unnecessary. I still try showing live digs in each episode but not every plug to keep the videos around 20 minutes. Also being a digger yourself we both know that 95% of dug items are trash/aluminum. Filming every plug dig to capture the 5% can chew up a lot of the disc memory in the camera. I think this is why most channels pick and choose live digs for the same reasons. Do you get to detect for gold out that way?

Wow Todd, what an amazing day you have had. An you just may have scratched the surface. That's the kind of finds we like to find every time we are out detecting. Unfortunately we don't but when we do man isn't it an amazing day for us. I to believe, that there was a colonial structure/home way before the houses that you showed us in the video. Thats just my guess. Maybe even an old store/trading post or stage coach stop, or a tavern. We just don't know unless someone took the time way back then to document it or photograph its structure. An even that wasn't cheap back then. Probably would have had to been a painting I'd say. 1807, Now that's old. That dates way before the structures that you showed us today on your video. Todd, congrats on all your finds. I know you said today has been some of your best finds ever. Can you imagine that they are going to get even better? Trust me they will. It's all about getting out there over an over again. An then a day like today shows up. YAY!!!! I've watched you in alot of beautiful old home places in those Appalachian mountains that are very old home sites to. An they just didn't turn up much. Could've been because they were just so poor. Well today makes up for all of those days. Sometimes Todd, i think it's just me not hearing the signal right or just not digging something I didn't think was a good enough signal. There's places I've been many times an not found much of anything an then i go back. An you guessed it, i found an old indian, or a silver or some type of relic. An alot times it more then just one i find. Todd another great video. Can't wait to see what you find next on the property/permission. Have an awesome weekend my friend. An once again, congrats on your finds so far. 😁👍👍
@AppalachianHistoryDetectives
My thoughts too.....definitely a house there 100 years older than the one the landowner believes was the first house on the property. I do go back and find more great things, including coins. I need to go back a third time but have yet to.
