The axe is a felling or forest axe. It is a heavy axe used for felling trees. They do still make that type of axe but it is not as common as it was. They were very common in the 1800s to the early 1900s until the chainsaw took over the timber industry. It was probably laid down after they busted the handle cutting timber and forgot to pick it back up. I lost a camp axe that way. There should be a makers mark on it unless it was a blacksmith made head or its rusted too bad to find. I'm still working on a property permission I contacted you about last summer. Its a similar type place as this. Great video!
About 20 yrs ago my son and I were researching old African American cemeteries in Huntsville for a middle school project. There is one behind the water treatment plant in S HSV that had some really interesting markers. There was another one E of I-65 that belonged to a Gamble family. I really wished that one could speak. Most of the children died before age 20 and one section was for slaves.
Wow, that cemetery really needs to be documented! Thee were so many graves and it is so overgrown . Soon it may be lost to the old nymphs, sprites and fairies. 🇺🇸🐲🧚🏽♂️🧚🏽🧖🏼♀️🐲🇺🇸
Me too! They really get you thinking about what's truly important in life! Im for ever wishing I could just pull up a chair and listen to the stories of the old days!
We’ve been finding a lot of old tools in our pasture from when it was a town, 1913-1935. Axes, hoe’s and the like. Nokta has a metal detector that does 3D imaging and locates voids which could be useful for finding unmarked graves in a cemetery. You certainly don’t want to dig anything but locating and marking the graves would be neat. My husband really wants one but they are definitely out of our price range. They also give you the shape of your target so any metal that was buried would show plus it goes down to about 12 feet which really beats anything else.
We’re currently looking at a USA made GPR unit. It should be able to do all of that and the engineer who designed it is local! We will keep y’all posted!
I totally agree that no one should ever metal detect a cemetary, it is quite disrespectful!! But there is a rare occasion it’s necessary: I belong to an association that cleans and maintains a late 1700’s/early 1800’s cemetary, which is a very personally satisfying volunteer “job”. As the secretary/treasurer I have to occasionally use my detector to identify the 4 corners of a plot, the records from the 1800’s are a bit imprecise. Even though I know I’m doing good things for the cemetery, it still feels weird to detect inside the fence!! Thank you for always taking us along on your adventures, you’re a great example of what a respectful outdoor lover should be!
In the old days, people would visit their loved ones and take a picnic lunch with them. Some detectorists have detected cemeteries for that reason.. I know of a person in Nebraska that found the the shells from a gun salute near an older veteran's grave. About 40 years ago, I was hunting an old cemetery above an old Missouri river town in Nebraska for the reasons previously stated. I was near a child's grave and recovered a small hinge. Needless to say, I don't detect cemeteries anymore. I visit them for their historical value. One Memorial Day, they opened the cemeteries on Pelham Range to the public. One of the men cleaning the cemetery pointed out the grave of one of the men who worked on the atomic bomb during WW II.
If you choose to clean it up to help identify maker/age, you can wash with soap and water and scrub with brass brush. This may be enough to reveal maker mark or unique features showing age, but if it's been out there for a hundred years, you may need to do more. Soaking in vinegar for a few days or a non caustic rust remover like Metal Rescue will reveal original metal without over cleaning. It will flash rust almost immediately once dry, but oil will quickly remove the flash rust. I've found that some of the really old axes still hold an edge even after being buried for lengthy periods. Removing the dirt and rust while still keeping the age patina, allows that craftsmanship to show.
The ax head is called a " North Carolina pattern ". The age can vary from the early 18.00s to the present. It looks very old and was probably made by the local blacksmith. Show the ax up close and cleaned.
There are many types of pry bars to choose from, including a cat-claw, flat-bar, and standard pry bar. The crowbar is the oldest type of pry bar and was first used in France in 1748. WELL, I DIDNT SEE IT IN YOUR ROUND UP, BUT ANTIQUE OR NOT, THAT THING WOULD HAVE COME HOME WITH ME.
Cool finds! Usually I don’t watch your non bottle hunting videos but this one was just cool! I never told you this but I just found a 1925 Whistle ACL pop bottle today and the whole time I just thought of you finding one a couple years ago in a dig. As an 11 year old I want to inspire more kids like me to hunt, but it’s a tall order. Hopefully and can start a little hunting group soon. I have 2 people already! But I know that’s a little off the topic. I just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me and my friends dude. Keep up the finds!
Very interesting! You guys need to go back. Liked seeing the old headstones.. Might be able to look up the original owners. Old maps would show the homesite. Tax offices would be informative. The axe looks around 1850 s look for a mold line. Might have been made on the premises. You just never know.
Hello from Knoxville Tennessee. I really enjoyed watching your adventures this was a good one. You better go back to that place. With it being that big there’s more old house sites. I would say that you can find old dumb sites for bottles. Thank you for the videos I really enjoyed this one. Stay safe and I’ll be watching.
Cool Brandon! I'd be looking for a nice piece of high ground for the plantation house...folks always seemed to like putting their homes up high so they could survey their holdings...that and someplace near water. Hope you all find some goodies there! I always enjoyed finding and walking through abandoned grave sites and reading headstones...really puts history into context! Keep em coming! 👍🇺🇸
In a past video, y'all found a small cylindrical piece with a hole in the end. I've found two similar items. Did you ever find out what it is? Mine seem to be rock or petrified. Love yer channel!
Someone needs too clear out the downed trees. Some small stones were used for children and pioneers. Cool area. No need too worry, i live in mo. And there are some sad cases of people destroying the old cemeteries too. Some are simply forgotton. I found one on top a bluff that sits next to a fiel but in the woodline with some huge tombstones.
Did you say you would research to see if the cemetery is on Find a grave? As long s as you don’t say names on the stones no one will know your location. As a genealogist it is important to have that cemetery documented and maybe cleaned and maintained.
@@adventurearchaeology excellent!! What you and your friends do is so inspiring and amazing. Hope you found more good stuff at the plantation. And thanks for reply. 👍🏼
@@Luciddreamer007 I know. It’s a hopeful sentiment. Maybe a local cemetery association? Or descendants. Hobbyist or historical society? Just a thought.
Hi Brandon it would be cool to clean up that ax head make or get a new handle for it and chop some wood. Any crow bar I have seen has multiple flat sides 0n it. Round with knurling on it is unusual. It looks like if it was cleaned up a little it could be used as a crowbar again.
The axe head and the bridle bit are awesome finds, Brandon! Look for a rise not far from a water source for the homesite would be my advice. The graveyard is immense!💖
I'm curious, why doesn't the town or city take care of that cemetery??? That is awful, seeing those graves desiccated by nature like that. Especially as old as it is. It's historical. So sad...
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It is sad to see them crumbling, but they are going "back to nature" and I think that is the intent in the long run. We have lots of crumbling cemeteries like this in the mountains of NC where I hunt. Ive cleaned up several myself just to see the graves and out of respect etc. But in all honesty, its almost refreshing in a way to see the land go back to nature. Mother nature will swallow everything back up if she is given half a chance! @bonezcustoms on Instagram
I'm leaning towards more of a "North Carolina" pattern. It possibly could be a " Georgia pattern " but, given the location where the ax head was found, I'm sticking with " North Carolina ". It's definitely very old and most likely dropped forged by the local blacksmith. It's a really nice find. You could actually clean it up and put a new hickory handle on it and use it. Peace on the path.
Brandon I saw Robert and Robert from Sidestep Adventures talking the other day and they said after the Civil War plantation owners were broke and some used field stones for markers. I guess they may not all be slave graves.
Good idea not sharing that graveyard location very cool thing to do . I'd love to see it but I'll wait for the video . If you were to share info like like that check out quarter hoarder for a colab or to ask about relics found detecting he's very knowledgeable on just about any dug up and very respectful of property
That graveyard...is there a historical society in that County that maybe would be interested? It's massive and dating to the 1700's? You could save it with one phone call to the right people. Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Cool finds 👌I dug a turn of century mini axe head in a ash tip this week 👍I slid it onto a old trolly axel bolted head on used some antler for a Handel then bolted it on 👌should last another lifetime lol 😂
@@adventurearchaeology There most definitely was turpentine production in Alabama. Born and raised on the Gulf Coast. My daddy would take us fishing in the creeks and as we walked he would point out the "slash pines". They would cut a series of deep "V" shapes in the tree and hang a bucket under them to catch the sap. They would gather the sap to cook it to make the turpentine. It was dangerous work. I remember frequently seeing the pegs, to hang the buckets on, still in the tree. A couple of times the bucket was even still there! That was a very, very long time ago.
This isn’t related to the video at all but i found an area in Georgia where i can find pat d coke bottles all day. From different cities mostly Columbus and some from Macon and even a couple from Yuma. Are they even worth picking up?
It is a pat.d, but I have never found a Macon bottle that is whole (and I'm only half an hour from there) they are all broken. Are there any other cities by chance?
@@rileyhogan8248 they are all whole. I think there are other cities as well. I found too many to check them all. I made a pile of them out in the woods.
@@BDE1337 I guess someone was on a trip/vacation and they made their way east before bring traded in. Who knows, it could have been in service in Columbus for a few years before being retired.
My son, and I love watching y'alls videos, especially the metal detecting videos. My son has become infatuated with metal detecting! Could you please give me a good starter metal detector, and not too expensive please. We're a single income family right now, but since he has become so infatuated, so I REALLY want to get him a metal detector. He really needs a "pick me up" since it's been so tough on us with my wife's health. Thank you in advance!
This interesting vid demonstrates why when “I’m called Home” I want to be cremated ! Old abandoned unkempt WILD cemetery’s are so sad. All the love & effort that goes into maintaining them …. THEN the people who take this honorable responsibility on …… die too…… What’s the point Like Rodney Dangerfield says in Caddyshack “ cemeteries and golf courses are the biggest waste of prime real estate”
@@stubstoo6331 I saw a clip about that place … Freaky as all get out ! Body parts skeletal remains , they get the gruesome headlines Yet the Poor Lost Abandoned unloved anymore fade into obscurity
I really like the Apex for the weight. It’s much easier to pick in and out. As for the overall Instill like the AT series but for the beach the Apex is hand down better!
I’m a big fan of both. The Apex is so light it makes it easier to swing for a monger period of time however the waterproof aspect of the pro makes it hard to beat as well
@@adventurearchaeology does it have a stamp or anything on it? A few axe head companies put the name on the axe like HB and Collins. That would help identify then age. The eye doesn't look that old but I couldn't really see it.
@@adventurearchaeology Each one you found was exactly ten years older than the previous one. Thank you for another wonderful video Brandon. Metal detecting such a beautiful and potentially fruitful site with a friend in my beloved south is my idea of a perfect day despite how many good or bad targets you find. I have the feeling we will see this site in many eventful digs in the future....at least I hope so!!! Much love from Tennessee
Did you ever go back to the cemetery? Really want to know more about that last stone you said is the important one. An if you found out if slaves are buried there?
I like the longer video. Also, the subject matter is very interesting. I would appreciate more hints like these.
Awesome awesome video!! Love the old cemetary!!! Too cool

The creators of that axe had a major falling out over its design but later decided to bury the hatchet 😳 🍻

Thanks!
hi Brandon , great video ! People that vandalize a cemetery are also the epitome of scum ! stay safe
Yep sadly with it being a Plantation site there is a cancel culture going around that would love to destroy it!
Enjoyed watching great finds well done

Our next search spot is a hill next to the creek 😎
And a hill top would catch the breeze to help cool it down. Have you used aerial photographs and old topographic maps to try and locate structures?

Lol My toes may be webbed but believe it or not I am amphibious!
Great video...nice finds...and that graveyard is super creepy looking...keep up the great work/play...
Love your bottle hunting but these type of metal detecting hunts are the best. Looking for actual history for a nation not just a county or state.
Well said Chuck!
I love old grave yards. That’s pretty cool how old they are
We plan on doing a full video there!
Someone needs too clear out the downed trees. Some small stones were used for children and pioneers. Cool area. No need too worry, i live in mo.

Best I can tell the axe head is called a Georgia axe. Should be mid 1800's.
That’s what I was hoping!
Could be a Kentucky pattern as well. I bet It's made by Kelly Works.
I'm leaning towards more of a "North Carolina" pattern. It possibly could be a " Georgia pattern " but, given the location where the ax head was found, I'm sticking with " North Carolina ". It's definitely very old and most likely dropped forged by the local blacksmith. It's a really nice find. You could actually clean it up and put a new hickory handle on it and use it. Peace on the path.
Brandon I saw Robert and Robert from Sidestep Adventures talking the other day and they said after the Civil War plantation owners were broke and some used field stones for markers. I guess they may not all be slave graves.
That’s a true statement! The south was broke until the 1940s
That's a big bit...probably used for a draft horse back in the day. The same bit is still in use today.
That is awesome to think about!
Brandon, if you find a concentration of head stamps in the open fields, most likely a home site in that location.
Back home. It's been a good four weeks off work.
I should not work all the time. Struck out at the bottle show in Chicago.
I envy all of your travel! Ive been stuck in the south too long and am itching to head back out west!

Very cool!
Great video guys
Now this is an awesome spot!! Can't wait to see what all you find!!!
We are super excited!
Coins might be by the front walkway because coins may have fallen out when Mom or Dad pulled their keys out of their pocket/purse.
That’s very true!
Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

You gotta go down in that sunken area in the field.
To my knowledge I would have to say that the ax is from the 1890 maybe older
I was thinking definitely pre1900
Cracking job as allways and its weekend time hope you have a top one and if your out have a cracking time and hope to see you at the next 👍 u legend 👍

LOL I need to make a shirt while that is hot!
the axe head look's like a north KY. 1800's i have 3.
Awesome!
I would guess the are head and bridal are from about 1840...but that is just my gut feeling.
I thought around the same!
Look like that axe maybe late 1880
early 1920 keep up the good work
Buddy.
Looks wider than a Georgia. My guess Kentucky.
It is so hard to ID and date these haha!
Shame the Gravesite wasn't kept up..
No doubt!
Any update to the headstone you said would be on a future episode?
Just seemed very random.
I gotcha! I didn’t realize you meant the Penny dates haha!
When your truck went over your camera it showed your truck plate and you should block that because there are to many freaks out there
That truck is licensed to another address from where I live haha! They’ll find a empty house lol
Uv'e been using the ace apex for a while now what do you think of it. Im using the at pro, and thought of expanding with the apex.
I really like the Apex for the weight. It’s much easier to pick in and out. As for the overall Instill like the AT series but for the beach the Apex is hand down better!
Great video. Which do you like better for relic hunting Apex or AT Pro.
I’m a big fan of both. The Apex is so light it makes it easier to swing for a monger period of time however the waterproof aspect of the pro makes it hard to beat as well
Looks like a Baltimore Kentucky or a Jersey style axe
Any idea of the age?
@@adventurearchaeology does it have a stamp or anything on it? A few axe head companies put the name on the axe like HB and Collins. That would help identify then age. The eye doesn't look that old but I couldn't really see it.
84 74 and 64 that's freaky
What do you mean?
@@adventurearchaeology Each one you found was exactly ten years older than the previous one. Thank you for another wonderful video Brandon. Metal detecting such a beautiful and potentially fruitful site with a friend in my beloved south is my idea of a perfect day despite how many good or bad targets you find. I have the feeling we will see this site in many eventful digs in the future....at least I hope so!!! Much love from Tennessee
Did you ever go back to the cemetery? Really want to know more about that last stone you said is the important one. An if you found out if slaves are buried there?
No Creek!!? lol
No this week lol
