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 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. 😊
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.
Todd, so glad you and Brian are back there. Loved the watch winder key. I have never heard of ramps, so cool what the earth produces. The meal you prepared looked nummy. Take care and God Bless.👏👍😀
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.
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
I wouldn't mind having a mess of those ramps to go with my pintos and cornbread tonight. Yummy. I'm still watching your videos on my tv but I just had to try my tablet to leave you a comment. This has been a rough summer with the heat in Florida. Stay safe and keep doing what you do. This old lady really enjoys your videos. I will watch till my last days. Or till the electric goes out lol. God bless and keep you Todd. Thanks for entertaing me.
Hey Gay great to hear from you. Just coming off COVID so I'm behind on everything. We had a long hot spell here too. Everything withered and many trees lost. Tropical Storm Debbie dropped 6 inches of rain here and it greened up fast. I hope all is better there now....but hurricane season is upon us.
So sorry you had covid. Hurricane Debbie just have us a few sprinkles but south of town got quite a bit of rain according to some friends who lives down there. There's 4 more storms that came off the coast of Africa so we're not put of the woods yet so we kind of stay ready. I hope you don't get hit with any of these. I'm praying that they stay out in the Atlantic. St Augustine floods if someone pours out a cup of coffee downtown. Lol. That's not what most people say as what happens when it floods but I try not to go there. Hope all of your family are doing good and you have no more covid. I've been blessed I've made it this far worn out getting it and I didn t take the shots because I usually habe a bad reaction to any of those. Be safe and get completely well. Praying for all of you
My favorite was the watch winder, 'til you got to the ramps... especially with the potato cake, then changed my mind again, because kitties are the best.
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
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.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives sounds like you were in the backcountry. We always camped at one of the few spots below the campground. We would ride our bikes and fish from the glades down to our camp for a day every year. I would recommend that to anyone...it's a beautiful and peaceful ride, especially starting at the glades.
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.
