I love all the animals trying to help you dig! Everyone is excited about the possibility of hidden rooms and tunnels.
Or the worms we dig up in the process of looking for them 😂
Amy, the words "my beloved trowel" touched my heart. I'm also a former field archaeologist, I worked 10 seasons in Israel. Our crew had a storage facility where we stored our things until the next season - including my beloved trowel! Sadly, I was not able to return. Even though I can't dig anymore, I do still miss my trowel!
The bond between woman and trowel is strong ❤️. What an amazing dig that must have been. What period?
@@Chroniclesofrosieres I dug one season at Caesarea, and many at Zepphoris in the Galilee. The ancient city of Sepphoris spans 1st C BCE through 7th C BC, then agricultural habitation continued through the the establishment of Israel as a state.
Nothing like having an archeologist on the job, … with an array of enthusiastic diggers from Marc to the kitten, chicken, dog & pig, and the machinery for help!! How exciting!
We are all properly excited!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres .. & it shows! I love your vlogs as your enthusiasm for your life, the château & it’s history always come across in such a genuine & likeable way. Thank you for sharing this.
Marc is so cheeky and funny.
The intro in black and white seems so appropriate. Love that you added Juliette and piggy
He’s a cheeky one - you’re right!
So exciting! We once had a house built in 1904 in the cold upper Midwest & it had a tunnel connecting its cellar creamery/buttery and kitchen to the massive dairy barn. It felt very mysterious
Oh wow!
You muß be very very old to remember building a house in 1904...
I love how your animals surround you while you work. Your cat is adorable and I hope you find the tunnels and cellar. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Love the dynamics between you too ❤, yes Marc is very cheeky! Hopefully you will find the tunnels/cellars and document in future videos. Your babies are so very cute ❤️ what a wonderful life they will have growing up in such a beautiful setting.
Thank you!
I got cut off from the last bit of the live chat but I am excited to see what Marc travelled so many kms to upload! Thanks Amy and Marc. I love your channel whatever you post! 🇨🇦
Thanks Judy!
So much going on. That huge digger really made such a difference ! Great job !!!
The chicken casually walks among you and the backhoe. The pig just walks around. The cat vies for your attention, while you dig in your yard and try to ignore them. This was great fun.
I really enjoy watching (and listening) to you two. Your fun banter back and forth is delightful.
Hi Susan how are you. Greetings from California, Great video. Hope you’re safe from covid. Have a good week and stay safe 😃😘 Franklin
Well that was fun! How cool is it that you live in a home in which you can explore and spin tales of it's past. You'll probably find them one day when you least expect it. 😃
The tunnels are probably part of the quarry that was used to build the fortress and chateau, likewise the cellar would be constructed in the upper part of the quarry, this minimises the distance the stone has to be moved. When you worked on the well the water table was relatively high, so the tunnels could be full of water. A fine example of a quarry under a building is Liverpool Anglican Cathedral and it's crypt, also around the Cathedral is a burial ground created in the surface area of the outer quarry.
No other channel has as much help as you do with your menagerie 😂 It's so charming ❤️
Love love the new camera work. And congrats on a very interesting video.
Thank you! We’ve employed a young videographer!
Hopefully you will find the hidden cellars and tunnels, it was fun to see how each of you approach the task. I really like the quality of the new videographer, it really is a job well done.
You two are so great together. What a cool mystery, but I hope you can make some discoveries. Very exciting and I look forward to upcoming videos. xx
I love the way you two riff with each other. It looks pretty idyllic with the animals snuffling about too. Keep looking!
There may be another way of finding the tunnels. If you put in your address into Google maps and bring up the chateau, it will show you where you are etc, but there's some other map reference to go over the top of the existing one and it should show you what is underneath. I wish I knew what it was that others have been using to find ancient cities that are buried beneath our feet. I'll see if I can find it via Paul Cook's CZcams channel. It's absolutely fascinating.
It would be so hard not to look for the tunnels everyday …. Everyday haha you will find them; I know you will and other things to. I think your life will be full of mysteries unleashed, stories of wonder and revelations of Gods great love.
Thank you for this.
Here comes the chicken, then the doggie, then the piggie, and the kitten….. I love how all your animals roam freely! ❤️
11:16 I love how the chicken is just as excited as you are 🐓
This is interesting and you two are funny. Little Juliette is growing fast. The animals love you. Madame chicken was scratching hard for worms. Piggy and kitty in meantime want to be mischievous. Cute.
Hope all recovered & feeling healthy again!
Worth the wait! You said some archaeologists visited last year. Did they do any geophysical surveys? I used a Barton's gradiometer in grad school to map old Camdentown, SC with a team from USC. A great non-invasive way to see what lies beneath. Good luck and don't touch my trowel! 😄
We’re trying our best to get them to come with something but they have really limited resources apparently!
Did you think about renting or hiring a GPR (Ground-Penetrating Rada) unit? They are often used in cemeteries to find unmarked graves. They are also used a lot by archaeologists now, as well. It should not cost that much to go around the chateau with one to determine if there are any buried structures or underground voids. Or, you could have contacted a "dowser" (water witch) to see if they could find any cellar entrances. They often work for free as long as their traveling expenses are paid/gifted. And a small gift of money or other items are nice to give them in return for their work. But most authentic dowsers do not ask for compensation.
Amy-I hope you saved your LIVE
I was in the middle of it last night when I lost internet connection.
I had just gone for a whiskey to join you and snuggle down into my sofa - it was about 10.40 Irish time.
So sad - you were full of fun and information. Fabulous stuff
You are both so good together in this video - you always are mind you - I’m enjoying it sooo much. Mark - it was worth the 40min drive to upload it. Thank you both for your super videos. Xx
Hi Brenda how are you. Greetings from California, Great video. Hope you’re safe from covid. Have a good week and stay safe 😃😘 Franklin
I just found your channel, and you've ignited my curiosity. I love a good mystery! I'll be following your adventures from now on as you search for the mysterious tunnels.
To that end, in looking at the infamous photo, I believe that the vent is directly within the wall of the building, unless I'm very much mistaken. That means that perhaps you should be probing the wall itself; you should be able to assess exactly where that vent is based upon the position of the bricks around it.
Best of luck!
So exciting to think that you will be able to uncover the past again, with the cellars and the tunnels! Love the pig, chicken, dog and kitten having fun too! Can not wait to find out if you do find them. Love to you from Devon, England. xxx
Found your channel through Stephanie and Philips stay.
Fascinating history you are uncovering.
Would make a nice place for new flowers beds ❤
A partnership with two heads always pulling in opposite directions eventually gets what they both want, to be in different places.
I love the introduction to who you are and what you are doing. I live in Connecticut, but even though I am far away I admire what you are doing very much! I think your are both fun and I am genuinely learning a lot from you both! Keep up the great work and please keep laughing, it's beautiful!!
I didn't see a tip jar, or other way to leave a bit of $ to keep the whole thing going. Do you have one?
Cheers,
Audri
This was exciting, dig dig dig, you will find it! Loving your chicken, piggy being so interested in what they like to do!
Thank you Kelly! I got a package from you this afternoon!!! I’ll be in contact to say a proper thank you!
so excited, I love watching archeological digs
I wonder if there's any fine-vintage wine hidden in one of the cellars? Looking forward to your discoveries. Quite startling to see how well-preserved Bruno is since he must be in his 80's!
Bruno is just incredible. It was such a pleasure to meet him! And yes we’re crossing our fingers for wine too 😂
I love all the animals helping and supervising..its all very interesting x
What a fun video! I'm excited to see how the search progresses!
Thank you 😊 Nice to have you along with the Live!
All very exciting! A lovely video even if you didn't find anything this time.
Hi Harriet how are you. Greetings from California, Great video. Hope you’re safe from covid. Have a good week and stay safe 😃😘 Franklin
I hope u find it. You chicken is happy to dig too. The kitty just wamts to play
Harry the Sussex chicken sure was excited with your dig. All your curious animals were cute. Love the kitten. The dig is interesting and exciting. If only you had a friend with ground penetrating radar!
Amy and Mark how exciting for you, cellars, tunnels, who knows what treasures there may be down there! You two are so cute together, I love your channel and videos, good luck with the dig, much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great adventure. Fascinating possibilities. Good luck!
Ooohhh just think of all the treasures you will find when you find the cellars and tunnels!!! And find them you will! So exciting for you, it's just amazing that you had that visitor who had lived there as a child!! And I do enjoy seeing all of your "assistants" chicken, cat, Piggy and Pepper are all keen to help on the job 😉. Looking forward to more discoveries!! Much love and big hugs xxx 🤗🥰🤗
That is like an episode of Time Team (or at least a mild parody of it). It’s fun to watch, the music choices are perfect and the humour is always on point !
Thanks Michael. Sorry it was delayed! I started a trial with Epidemic Sound to increase the musical repertoire and I had quite a lot of fun with it this time!
Hilarious that the chicken shows up as soon as you start digging!!! Love your kitty also.
There must be a tunnel under the tower! And I would guess the outside entrance to be down lower in the garden area, where you walk down a path through a gate! Sorry, I'm a little excited too :) lol
You all have beautiful soil there
A cat, chicken, dog, and pig were all so curious. I say put the pig wherever you want to dig next and let her dig for you!
I really enjoyed watching your search for the secret tunnel
Take care see you in the next one 🤗👍🍰☕🍰☕🌹💐🌹
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Thank you Sue!
Have you seen Time Team programs? They have ultrasound devices that can scan beneath the ground and show remnants of past developments. Might be worth hiring someone to come out and scan for you. Would definitely save lots of time and labor with digging and then putting everything back in place.
I love your new project, the whole episode was epic and I really enjoy seeing the free range varieties of animals who join in.!! The hand tools we personally use are very special and it's like comfy shoes or slippers, if you get my meaning. WCL
Thank you!
Karen from Murcia, Spain here after seeing your live chat x
Hi Karen - I never realised you were in Spain!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres yes, a little village in the mountains called ‘Cañada de la Leña’, we don’t even have a shop and our only bar closed in September 😩, but we love it xx
I love seeing what you are doing there! I for one would love to come and clean up after you 😂😂
So cool having Bruno come and visit
Don’t stop, you will find something, I feel it!
See the stonework on the wall behind you - behind the gutter drain pipe is different from the rest of the wall which has dressed blocks. I would be checking there.
We checked in front of that very area. But we can’t get too close to the wall there because it would destroy some plants we value! The theory was that if anything was protruding from the cellars like a vent it would visible a bit further away from the wall. But if nothing was protruding from the chateau footprint we would need to dig indoors
@@Chroniclesofrosieres if the border you were digging in front of had a vent I would have expected the terrace to be covered in flagstones forming the roof of the cave. Also the vent would have been further down than 2 courses of stone blocks.. anyhow good luck!
I was so excited when you started digging! Then I laughed when the pig and chicken showed up to check out what you were doing. 😆Ha! Luckily you have a good digger to do the deep digging. Good luck on your search!
Hi kathi how are you. Greetings from California, Great video. Hope you’re safe from covid. Have a good week and stay safe 😃😘 Franklin
How exciting. It's like looking for buried treasure. Hope you find the opening. Who knows what lies beneath....
We are so, so excited. It’s all I can do to stop Marc demolishing the current cellars every day!!!
I love the music you use as a background, just perfect. xxx
Thank you!
Well, it seems to me that the kitty is the start of the show today 🤭
How excited to be able to try to find the cellars and tunnels..!
How exciting for you! Thanks so much for sharing, Marc and Amy, Clement and Juliette and all the farm critters. ox
Another excellent video!! What a team! My father can’t wait for you to dig the cellar. He really is excited.
Hi how are you. Greetings from California, Great video. Hope you’re safe from covid. Have a good week and stay safe 😃😘 Franklin
Get some one in with hand held ground raydar, they will soonfind out for you. Maybe with luck a stone staircase down -
You see this used all the time for archeology.
When you were digging the terrace it looked like there was a fairly distinct archway in the chateau wall at ground level behind the drainpipe. Or maybe it was just the shape of the rocks? 🤷
Glad you had your friend to help you that made it easier for you. What a lovely place the town is😘
Y’all always have the best names for your little or big animal family. Harry the the boy band chicken need a bunch of supporting band mates. Which animals would he choose and what instruments would the play?
Ground penetrating radar can do the entire area 360 around the building in a day
Have a look at our most recent video for a fairly in depth discussion on geophysical techniques and their limitations here 😊
Amazing but true, so difficult to find something right under you. Saw some thin 1200 mm long drills on ebay. Perhaps drilling the concrete slab every 2 meters? Or drilling where you are digging outside? Once you find the cellar you've also found the tunnels and vice versa
"You aren't an archeologist anymore than I am a penguin doctor", it made me roar with laughter. Keep on digging sweethearts 🤣
I love the helpful white cat! My cats would not be anywhere near! The fearless chicken is funny too!
Very exciting but I must say that when I saw the photo it looked like the vent was in the chateau wall but you have the actual photo in front of you so you have a better view.
It's all very interesting 👏👏👏
One of My jobs on the farm was raising chickens. I raised 300 every year......I mean.... We started with 300... But the Hen in your video is an Olympian. Dodging that mini excavator and gobbling up those worms and beetles!! Hurrah!!. Or Hooray.... Cluck. Cluck
😂😂😂
well that was a successful day of making a mess. 😁
😂😂😂
It would be great if you infilled where you are digging with cobble stone. Much more practical than grass and easier to maintain too. Also, you know there are machines that can survey what is under ground. Seeing stone work and hollows too?
The photo at the beginning looks to me like the opening is bellow the chateau wall itself!?
Scan all around the house it will tell you where to drill a hole first .
These way you won't waste time and money.
Ground pentatraying radar
Marc, I trust your fighting talk, is tongue in cheek?😉
Rikki Biermann, Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦
You two are so funny! Exciting. Looks like a filled in/walled up vault behind the drain pipe?
I just love your intro
Great vlog guys. Shame you didn't discover the cellar crypt ... Will be amazing when you do! I love your different approaches to doing things.
I enjoyed the video! It was fun to watch you both with the help of all the critters search for the cellars. I look forward to more adventures. Love from Vermont
I love the new intro!!
Thank you!
And still digging!
Привет. Я наслаждалась, когда смотрела ваше видео. В детстве я мечтала быть археологом. Удачи. Я из России, с далекой Сибири.
Have you guys looked into using ground penetrating radar? It is accurate in finding underground utilities, concrete structures below the surface. Bruno provided fascinating stories and the possibility of finding the cellar or tunnels is intriguing. Cheers-
It might or might not work in our situation - there are some limitations. But yes we’d love to try. But it’s not easy to get hold of! We’re trying to persuade a university to try!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres I'm glad you're talking with a university. Many universities have programs through the architecture, engineering, or historic preservation curriculums to do internships and/or hands-on programs. Fingers crossed that you can get that assistance.
So exciting, it makes me what to jump in the car and come back to help Marc dig!
Ha ha - do it!
The animals! Crack me up! Marc is so “Cheeky!”
I enjoy watching your videos. You are such interesting and lovely people! Juliette has growth so much. Beautiful child! Hugs from Canada.
You have a big job ahead of you. There is an instrument that can find caves. You might find a geologist who works for the state or country and may find maps have already been done. I believe some surveys were done after the war.
How exciting, cheering you on from South-Western Ontario! Can't wait to see all the other interviews on Patreon!
great fun
Thank you!
I’m sure I’ve heard of a gadget you can use to take sort of ultrasound type pictures of your land so you can see what lies underground.
Ground penetrating radar. Very expensive unless you can persuade a university to try. And had some limitations.
I love how the pig is coming around, seeming to ask: „so is this a group activity? Or are you hogging all the fun from the actual hog around here?“
😂😂😂
As always Marc love your work toys! You will find it.
how incredibly exciting for you and for us !!! You live in a magical location and by far my favourite chateau and grounds of all the CZcams chateau vloggers !!!!! 💜💜🏰🏰
Wow how exciting, great vlog thank you
Who is doing the filming for this? Looks like professional filming. Is this a tv crew for channel 4?
Ha ha - not channel four but our young videographer will be really pleased to hear your comment. He’s a wedding photographer we’ve employed to do a few of our videos since we never seemed to have the time to do the filming and editing. Details are all in the description of the video.
Hi, There is a chinese traditional medicine brand called FUSION, . You can get a product call COUGH LUNG TONIC. It has performed some impressive results. I have tried other items in that range and they too did well for us. Hope that is of interest and maybe help. Ps Keep up the good mission.
That’s really helpful thank you. I’m a big fan of TCM but have usually had it prescribed by an acupuncturist.
Really enjoyed that video very good loved it
