- Will Johnson and I found civil war relics again. We hunted a site where the Confederates bushwhacked a Union wagon train, and found lots of fired bullets and a huge cave.

I was a Gandy Dancer for a couple of years after being Honorably discharged from the Army through the Veterans representative at what used to be called Job Service. Gandy Dancer is an old school term for a Railroad Track Layer. I could drive two spikes at the same time with a spike maul in each hand. Took a lot of damned practice. The trick to hitting the spike every time, was rolling the double headed maul in each hand as you were bringing them up and around for the next swing. The rails you showed appear to me to be at least from the 1800's period and also to be mine rails. Ones used inside a mine or an area that does not require full sized rail. Hope that helped. 👍from Utah.
Well worth exploring guys..Tennessee has one of the largest underwater lakes in the world ,along with a vast cave system.
I'm in knoxville, so was glad to find your channel. Love the videos.
Thanks
Field plundering and a good many 44's! Love it that your finding early spring sinks with caves, need a few friends and the right equipment to go exploring my friend! Thanks for sharing and HH
Thanks Erle.. I would love to if land owner will let us.
I found a hole in a field many years ago that turned out to be over 100ft deep. It was an old mineshaft that had been backfilled and capped but years of water flooding it had washed it out and eventually the cap fell into the hole. It remained open for years until the people responsible were found and forced to fill it properly.
Love to see that explored. I live for this stuff!! Awesome find!! Time to call The Chigg!!
Lonestar Hobos I love the Chigg!!
Look very carefully down there. You might find a Corvette! LOL. Good Hunting from Ky.!
Lol they may be on down there you never know.
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU EXPLORE THE CAVE !!! PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED !!!
I'm working on the next video now. Thanks for watching.
This would be amazing!!
Want to see you explore the cave !!
Glad you mentioned Aquachigger, that's what I was thinking! Thanks for sharing.
Lol I like the trespassing joke! Cool caves!
Thanks Craig!
Great video Jeff! Take care brother!
Thanks buddy
Man... if you get in that sink hole I'll be looking for a new co-host. Lol. Good to see Will again, looking forward to being with him at DIV
I'm not going down there with out you.lol It's like swimming in the ocean. You always stay close to someone where you have a 50% chance of survival.
Those openings in that field remind me of a cave in Tennessee named " Indian grave point" in two of the large rooms in that cave daylight can be seen and if one further investigates the source is in a field just like that one.
... looks like perfect 'sinkers' for fishing lines ; )
Great video. Happy Hunting.
Thanks adveNZures
Pretty interesting...lookin' forward to the "Cave" exploration...hope the land owner gives you permission!
Q 400 guess they should’ve fought harder for what was “theirs”
Good job.
As soon as I saw that hole I thought about Beau! I've seen springs set up like that for holding milk cans in the creek it would have had a roof over it for shade.
Nice location! Plenty to see and lots of ground to cover. Happy travels!
Beeps.
Thanks Beeps & Eat's Finding food & treasure.
Beautiful creek the whole area is beautiful
Cool video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Buddy
Seriously had me going at the start. 🤣First time visitor, me, obviously.
Thanks Colleen!
Lol me too! Glad it was the cave that I was watching for! Had my heart racing and I was saying loudly 'turn around! Turn around!'
Cat thinks I'm finally off my rocker.
Ha! Fell off years ago!
Trepassers !! Let me tell you my houston County tennessee story. I heard gunshots and knew it was on us. So being me I go there with my 4 lb dog in tow. I saw nothing but little dog did. Hiding in the brush was a deer hunter. He was told not so nicely to leave . He came back 2 more times. The last time I ran him off he actually called police on me saying I threaten to kill him. I was arrested. I didn't have a gun but he did. Yes my land is posted every 10 ft.
Sweet really looks previously used, some stone look manipulated
HI Jeff I was kinda waiting on this video after I saw you post the picture of Will standing by the cave opening a little while back ...nice couple pistol balls I agree with you that has to be from an oil lamp the ornate piece that the glass would fit into ... nice ... See you guys in a month .... looking forward to meeting you Jeff and seeing Will again ... see ya !
Thanks for watching, and we will see you soon.
My momma day 6 sister's 2 brothers are from sweet water Tennessee Cleveland Poe county oh how I miss the smokies be goin up real soon, look like the had one hell of a shoot out one war I wish the South won LoL,good luck nice find I detect also love it!
The ActionAdventureTwins would definitely explore that cave if the owner gave permission.very interesting video.
I blows my mind how lucky you all are with the Paleo, Pirates, Bushwackers but seriously to Civil War exploring in such as Carolinas, Tennessee the South plus the great soils and I loved the humidity plus my famous and well documented years amongst you all
Only heard the first railroad lines were much thinner than the ones today. Hope you get to explore that hole in the ground. Please don't go alone and make sure someone else knows where your going. Definitely could be dangerous. Interesting video, thank you.
GET IN THAT CAVE BOY!
that river looks like a good trout creek :)
Nice video TJ, the whole time I'm Thinking "Call Aqua Chigger!" then you said it LOL
You never know.lol
Great video and the cave will be cool....
I just subscribed to your channel. Ray from Spring Hill, FL.
Thanks for the sub.
Good vid, cool and interesting place to hunt.
Thanks hank6997
Narrow guage rail my dad was an engineer for 49 years I found a mass Chinese grave in the desert woven with it steam trains used it and some mines good find guys
What's that Lassie.. Will's in a well, he needs help?! Come on girl, let's go get paw.
Are you in a snake area? Careful messn round a cave,watch yourself.
If you can feel air coming out , there has to be another entrance somewhere . I think your right . Could be huge . I'd love to go in there and have a look .
I was thinking to myself trespassing in Tennessee, not the sharpest tool in the shed!🤪
North Alabama either........................
Lol
I found a two-piece scabbard tip that had a finial type piece on the end of it and wood inside of it. I believe you found a piece of one, maybe. Good video
Could be some nice civil war relics in that cave -- maybe even money--I would be digging a opening and climbing in !!!
Trying to get permission for next week.
Those beams look like repurposed railway track
That a well from a old hand dug well. The houses foundation is literally going across it. There should be some great finds in there.
I love the cave area and it would be beautiful if you shored up the rocks and made stone steps.
I wonder what's further inside? Cool mystery!
All you geniuses ever heard of a bunker?
Raccoon says " ow ..quit throwing those rocks"
I sure hope you get a video of that cave. I'd have a hard time not getting the gear together and doing an exploration👍
With all that Moss growing you could be here in Ireland . Great video Thanks
Alot of the states resemble Ireland, in certain regions...and thats a good thing..👍🍺
Call an Archaeologist ! Historic! Set up a souvenir stand and sell all that lead in lil' cases. Awesome!
All interesting finds
Those tracks was possibly a bridge for wagons across creek. That ornamental brass was likely the base for glass on lantern.
Very true couldn't have said it any better
I like how you country people talk.
I just happened to find your channel and subscribed as I love watching these kind of videos ! Do you research any of your finds as I love learning about stuff ! Thank you for a great video !
Wow, that was quite the cave! You did the right thing by not going in there. It looked like the overhang of rocks really wasn’t safe. The rails looked real old. I wonder why they would want to cross there? Maybe because of the spring during the civil war?
Thanks for sharing your adventure! 😊
That was one of the old roads in 1780s/1860s.
Cool! No wonder! You may really have a treasure trove waiting for you.
cool stream and findings.
im in the highland rim aera putnam and white countys...we have thousands of sink and cave in the aera... love hiking the aera...its cool to find water coming up out of the ground and then alittle ways down see it disapear back into the rocks... yall keep yer toes warm
I hate them dang poaching trespassers they is thick down here in the Swamp. Felt good watching you get yours
Great finds! Cool cave! I was thinking that same thing about Aquachigger! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy
I’ve explored a few sinkholes like this and the entrances are not very stable. Mostly boulders suspended in mud. Be safe.
We have many holes similar to that up here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula from the days of copper mining that was dug out n forgotten out in the woods. You can from time to time find mini old minded relics. And sadly at least once a year someone goes missing from falling off into one of these uncapped holes.when I live in Georgia and engaged in Civil War Relic hunting I found what was left of an old dugout under a large Limestone Bluff where someone has head parts of old rusted out black powder guns and bullets keep on digging remember many civilians head there household valuables in the ground do either keep it from the Union Army are the Confederate guerrillas bands...
Nice interesting video about history in your part of the USA. Thks for sharing. Watching from British Columbia Canada.
Thanks Dennis!! Come listen to Diggin with seven and I every Thursday night at 8 pm eastern standard time on Relics Radio on spreacker.com
Hi, I'm down in Loudon Co. and we find mostly fired and dropped minie balls around the site of Longstreet's crossing at what was once Huff's Ferry area near Loudon. I do believe that to be a cave entrance and not a sinkhole... I have both on my property and this looks more like a cave.
reminds me of a story shown somewhere about 10 years ago? A guy was looking around New Mexico one time and found a hole that led to a huge underground FRESH WATER LAKE! I often wondered if it was on his property, because fresh water is hard to find anywhere?
You need to call the chigger he loves caves and sinkholes!!
gosh i miss the mountains 😢 stranded in LA. good people, good memories
LA? Hope you get back to the mountains soon buddy.
many years passed ... nobody left, mountains cut down or on fire, aint young no more... but awesome memories huck finn woulda been jealous hehe
You said " if there was a CS buckle you would jump down into tha cave". I took it as if there was a US buckle you wouldn't jump down there. Spoken like a true southerner and Tennessean. Take care and HH. Jim aka Tennessee Gem
Should make video of you going down the cave that would be cool
The guy it's on your land should come to agreement anything he finds split each way makes sense
Hello guys just subscribed also fromTenn.We found a cave something like that in our woods we could see down in it but something we may need oneday .
I would love to have a cave on my property, and yes we all may need a cave one day.
Of course,I only have the clarity of the video, but around the hole, the stones appear to be cross stacked .much like the ones by the ridve.
Kinda looks like mining track. Seen similar in silver mines in NM.
Barnes Bullets is still in business and doing well, we sell them lubricants on a regular basis. Thanks!!
Great video
Thanks bother
Was it AquaChigger, lol? He sure loves detecting and caving! 😜
I love his caving videos.. well all his videos.lol
Nice work!
Thanks buddy
Cool! Waiting for you camera view of the inside of the cave!
Soon
Better peel that open and get to investigating it. LOOKS interesting!!
Wow finding those things like that I would have to sit and imagine being there at that time dream world
We do all the time, and would love to know who the last person to hole it was.
The steel going over the creek might have been part of an old bridge crossing..It probably had wooden decking at some point.Check the cave out too.
Mom: why you watching a man find bullets at 8pm
Me: you wouldn't get it
lol..Thanks for watching.
Caves.. my kinda thing
I'd say the rails are 1880s or so ,I've found three Sherman's hair pins and they are three inches tall and have no holes for bolting. I've never weighed them but I can pick up a 14 foot rail though it is heavy . In 1850s when my rails were made they were made of iron, they have a whole different sound than steel when you hit them with a hammer or spike.
Good video buddy. Happy Hunting
Thanks Josh! we need to get out before it gets too hot.
I hate that when that happens. I caught a trespasser Last Summer on a permission I had. Got his license plate number gave it to the property owner and he had a Sheriff go and talk to the guy and tell him not to come back. Cool cave!
Yes!! It is bad... I'm just glad it was Will.
Go at nighttime
Stay away from those ground holes, you never know when there is going to be a cave in. The bridge is interesting. Even if the rails are only 100 years old the stone abutments could be older. The bridge superstructures tend to rot and get replaced much more frequently than the abutments. To date the rails, you will have to check the webs(vertical part) for the manufacturer and date. The date is only occasionally stamped but, the manufacturer is usually there. Happy Hunting.
Thanks Richard! As soon as Seven get's down here we will get one or two of them rails.
@@deer123able I hope that you aren't planning to take those out by hand. They will be heavy enough to hurt you. Removing the beams may also destabilize the rock abutments. Good Luck, Rick
I think those rails may be iron instead of newer steel rails. Check the sides of all the rails for stamping of the Maker or Railroad and date.
I'm going back Monday to look.
The cut with the rails over it looks awful long for just a bridge over a creek. Reminds me of an old Mill race. Used to funnel the water through the "race" to speed it up and power a grist Mill.
oh boy would i love to explore that cave...
There should be a stamp on the railroad tracks of the years that they were made
I'll look this weekend.
I am subbing to see if you get that cave explored. Maybe ask the farmer if he's been down inside. Would be nearly impossible to keep curious kids from exploring it.
Thanks Geiger I'll try my best to get in there.
@@deer123able cool, I subscribe to several abandoned mine and cave explore channels... so... this little cave is not that scary compared to stuff the other guys do. :) Have fun with it!
Sound like the clean version of Larry the Cable Guy
Lol that's what I was thinking to
4:00 that is buckshot. You can see the dents from the other balls around the edges as they were fired with others in a muzzle loading black powder shotgun.
Something tells me you need to get down in there. So what are you waiting for,COME ON LET'S GO!
It will be soon
@@deer123able I'll just be over here..
OMG! That was Owl Bridge!
I better see a cave video soon.
If the landowner will let me.
It looks like narrow gauge rail that was used before the civil war.
That piece at end looks like the glass holder on a kerosene lamp.
Exactly what I was thinking right away. Along the one side under the hoops, I thought I saw impressions of a full moon and a quarter moon. If so I would say for sure, but we all know that that's when Murphy's law gets to prove you soooo wrong! Please don't go into the cave right away, corner a mother racoon and you are going to have a story to share. Or Willy will! From living in the bush with my family and living all over central Ontario (always way,way out of town), if I have learned anything, it's 'Check For Wild Animals Nesting'. You know what you would do with someone barging into your house. Especially not having any clue why, or if it is even malicious. Add to that not having a back exit... Maybe a kid or two playing at your feet.
If anything is using the cave as a home, if small like racoons, you can trap them as they come in from the night and then go in. Or send Willy first, then you are sure you can run faster at least!
@@kelly-charmainemarieflanag1098 I presume the full moon and half moon indicated higher wick on one side and lower wick height in the other direction.
Holder for the glass top on a old days oil lamp my dad owns a few plus I grew up going to antique sales a lot with my dad and grandma
that last piece looked like part of an old coal oil lamp. the round decorative part at the base that holds the chimney. thats my guess...
I've seen the rail before, those are street car rails I've seen them in Franklin Tennessee and Nashville.
Aquachigger would get in that cave for you. Nice video 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Thank you
Thanks Steve! I'm sure he would... I'm trying to get permission from the landowner.
@@deer123ableYou and Aquachigger should hang out :)
I would love to see what is possibly in that cave ! I hope that you get permission to do so !
I love that channel!
Husband is a railroader and he said it looks like someone got a bunch of 65 pound rail to make a bridge out of it. He said he doubted that it was civil war era as it would be warped and unusable after all this time. Salvaged rail most likely.
Kind of looked like a place battle plans would be drawn up. Probably met up with some trenches. Nice ambush spot. Dunno. But the rocks on top appear to be placed by man.
