What you need to find out there is the half exposed rusty end of a long old chain- a huge one. Wouldn't that be loads of fun!!
What was that you found at 16:58? I thought for sure that you had found a large cent. Creek and metal detecting...great video.
Yup..lotsa brass in there 😁 ....🎵🎶They see me reloadin'🎶🎵 LOL
Hey guy when you're doing that magnet you have to keep the end of it cleaned off of all that metal or else it won't be able to attract anything else once it's full.
That property sure is beautiful! Love the creek, as well. Take care! ❤️
You found the chimney and the well, now you really need to find the outhouse hole.
I think when you metal detect are my favorite videos.
Need to build you a softer for sifting the sludge and sand in the creek will work real well
Hope you're wearing a blaze orange vest or something out there. Dont know how you stay so calm with all that shooting going on. Nice video. Great spot
I think the fitting on the pipe at 23:30 is part of a gate valve. Cool video!
I started watching this last night and it was so beautiful and relaxing I fell asleep and had to come back and finish watching it again today. What a lovely spot that is. I love old covered bridges, they always remind me of the Shinn Bridge, built in Washington Co., Ohio. It was built by Charles T. Shinn, a brother to our grt. grandpa Robert B. Shinn in 1886. Here is the wiki-link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinn_Covered_Bridge
I'm surprised they have you permission to medal detect such an important historic sight .
Pipe looks like part of a curtain or shower rod maybe?
That well should be covered up better as animals can still fall down in it !
I think you would be surprised at the rarity of animals falling in those wells. It is possible and I have seen it happen but not common. Animals usually are not in a hurry and they usually watch where they're walking. We have found old hand dug wells on our place twice that we didn't know about that are flat with the ground, no brick and not marked in any way. We did loose a calf in one once. We owned the place for over 30 years. The well had never been covered and we only know of one calf that fell in. Yes, we did fill it in when we found it.
I love your commentary, too funny. Make the videos as long as you want, love to hear the water burbling, and your voice is great too.
That’s a gate valve with the top missing
Deep is old , old is good !!
Good gold in that creek too !
Where did you score that shovel?
I hope you wear a bright orange or chartreuse vest when you are out in the woods like that. They may be shooting targets, but there is no reason to give them the impression of an animal moving through the woods that they could shoot at either.
There was an old blast works iron foundry near there Maria forge works was the name I believe. 1840s era.
The old chimneys that still standing did you ever metal detect then their selves like the side of him in that because you know people love the hide things behind bricks in the chimney
That entire property is beer cans pull tabs and modern bullets.
Could that pipe be part of a handrail for the bridge? 🤔
Love your channel keep up the great content
You metal detect without pants your sure to see jewels
That was fun.... my Great Great Grandfather was part of Wilson's outfit.... they Mustered out of Missouri and 3 other states... enjoyed your adventure... and your very sweet wife who just kind of "went with it".... my wife would be saying... "Let's get outta here... these mosquitoes are eating me up"...
The brass is the bottom body of a gate valve
Agreed...was in valve engineering years ago & recognised it straight away.
If you had a sifter and you sifted that.sand and sludge you may find civil war.bullets and possibly some.gold or other civil war relics.
I always like doing things like this.
Love the commentary. Hilarious
So love your content, always great videos, wish there was opportunity here in California, it looks so fun, love all the History as well...Keep up the great work.
thank you
you get an A for effort
What detector r u using here?nvm I see it lol at pro
Broken off gate valve...fun stuff as usual
Looks like you had fun but sometimes you find stuff and other times you find which is ok. Like yesterday went for 5 hours found few ammo cases and random metal tags
Pipe or barrel? That is the question lol. Gotta find out for sure. A lever of some sort? Pretty place!
Enjoying the videos. What is the tattoo on your right arm?
Waldo bridge?
nice place and good jobe my friend
So you're in Dear-Man-Ville? I am in Gadsden lol. Love the videos!
Birmingham, my PO box is there though, thanks for watching
Civil war soldiers loved beer and soda pop.
Magnet fisg down that well would be fun.
Are you going to comeback and magnet fish that well?
maybe in the winter
I miss your metal detecting videos but whatever you post i will watch
Thank you, I'll have new spots soon I hope
Keep on digging, you might find the words you're looking for down there. Just kidding buddy. I enjoyed the video as always.
I love the scenery, you've got a pleasant commentary, but for the sake of YT audience gain might want to edit a bit and keep the long periods of nothing happening to a minimum. Some DO like it, I get that, but if you compare to the ones with thousands of views they keep it a tad more active. That may not be that important to you, it's just a suggestion from one of a bunch of people who's been spending a lot of time watching videos lately... that said I DO like the side commentary on the metrics the detector is giving you, it might be cool to explain some of them for the uninitiated some, it looks like a really cool hobby.
Personally, as many followers as he has, seems to me an awful lot of us think his videos are perfect. I really don’t care to hear what a lot of these guys have to say when they just ramble on and on like children til your ears bleed. EA keeps it absolutely clean and has a great sense of humor. Good enough for me and a whole lot of others. Thanks EA!
@@sedoragreen8028 I've seen later videos and his editing has improved a lot. This is the only one I felt was a bit meandering. It did deserve it honestly, even if the scenery was admittedly bucolic.
Half of a Water regulator on a pipe....
Now you know if you fall down were all going to laugh at you
Well,are we buying this place ? I will donate as much as I can toward it..it is so interesting and all the places to look and all the stuff to do..and a restaurant to feed us too..we need it..there is gold and lead in there..I would be willing to come and lie out on the bank and watch you look for gold and lead..lol
I've got a lot of library cents, well few hundred, oh an one lawn chair, come on
@@ExploringAlabama I'll be there as soon as my Governor unlocks the lockdown..and if my bride lets me ..sigh
i get a lot of that 1800s junk to lol.
Is it normal that this makes me wanna go swimming? 🤔
maybe, although its cold outside right now
Thank God for the train and the duck or this might have been a boring half hour.
true
I promise I will laugh if you fall in
Hey don't make a video if you didnt find anything interesting.
Your in poison ivy
I was going to say the same thing! Wash up after that dig and good luck!
