Awesome Hunt today Todd. What an amazing place to be detecting on such a beautiful day brother. It just don't get any better then that. Finding some old relics an being able to just be in the beautiful presence of an old ruin that is still standing an in great shape to be as old as it is. An to be with the owner as well. An the history that goes with it as well. I'm sure the more you all go back the more relics you all will uncover. Todd, another awesome video in deed. Have yourself an amazing weekend my friend. An we will catch on the next video. 😁👍👍
I’m glad I found your channel- it’s been a real pleasure seeing this property and your digs there. I think the object you found at abt 7:18 is the back part of a door knob for an early box lock. The hole in the stem is where it would have had a screw to attach it to the square bar as part of the lock mechanism. I’m looking forward your future adventures. Thank you for taking us along!
You guys really rocked it this time! Great finds! I'm curious about the match safe, and was trying to count the stars on the shield, but couldn't quite get it. It would be indicative of how many States at the time it was produced. The kitchen was to die for. To have a large fireplace to bake in would be great today. Back in the day they were usually separate from the house. Perhaps a more modern(?) setup. I have a friend in NC that lives in a house built in 1761 or 2, and it had a separate kitchen.
Todd, how can your videos just keep getting better. I watched your last one and I was amazed by the way all of the finer points were covered perfectly; however, this one took all of them up another notch. Excellent production all around. From the introduction, to the body and the closing. I am very proud to be a patron of your channel. The only thing I could think of to make this video better, is to have announced there will be a part 3, 4, 5...
WOW . I love the videos so much be glad you are able to do what you love to do. I haven’t had a good week you stay safe and tell your family I said hello.
I can imagine teams of mules and farm wagons crossing that ford and bet horseshoes, coins and other things were lost there. Maybe you already have a video of that. Loving your method of inserting pics of the cleaned objects. Also, my old place has had at least 3 outhouses in different locations, two of which were filled in with household waste when another privy was built. One of those was dug out with lots of cool finds. Maybe there was more than one outhouse at that place. Cool about the cartridge pen; I haven't thought about those in many years. And, thanks for showing the original kitchen. We old timers always want to see where they cooked and where the water came from (which you did show in the other vid). I've cooked on a fireplace like that. Those cooking fireplaces were usually pretty smoky. If you can go in there at some point, it would be interesting to know if there is an iron bar up in the chimney for hanging a trammel hook.
Nice finds Todd! Love thr match safe! I've found iron spoons b4 but never knew how old they were til today.. always learn so much from your videos ❤ That basement kitchen tho.. man how I'd love to search every nook and cranny of this gem...Great video todd as always 🎉
Every time I watch another of your videos I think you can't top it but I'm always wrong. I just love this series. It is such an amazing place and such beautiful countryside.
Oh this was wonderful down to finding the harmonicas and reeds to the sqeezebox! Felt like i was blasted back to a past life lol where were sonehow related before. My late BFF Mark Kuykendall played harp and I guitar. We had many beautiful times i could see happening roght there.He was a master craftsman and very loved by many . The whole thing resonates deeply Thankyou !! I think the train visit museum would work out splendidly ..He always enjoyed my banana pancakes w maple syrup😂 ❤💡
Isaac Kuykendall is my 4th great grandfather and Nathaniel Kuykendall is my 5th great grandfather. Dan Waggoner, who owned the property and recently passed would not have wanted electricity, kitchen, bathrooms, etc added to the house. He was a stickler for authenticity and keeping the home as uniquely original as he could. It would be so very sad to see the house changed in those ways. A museum with day hours could work as long as electricity or public restrooms are not required. I do hope the current owners take this into consideration and do their best to preserve this rare untouched piece of history. Marsha Kuykendall Tomlin
This is part of my family my Great grandmother is Allie Lee Kuykendall Caylor we pronounce it Kykendall though. Allie is the daughter of Andrew Cicero and Nancy Ann Payne Williams Kuykendall. I am very glad to watch this video of my Family. Thank you
Todd, check the tip of the fountain pen you found. I have bought and sold antiques for 50 yrs. and most of the 19th - 20th century pens have a 14 kt or 18 kt. gold tip. Great video 😀
Manufacturers combine iridium with osmium to make fountain pen nibs.With an average price of $4,900 per troy ounce in March 2022, iridium is more valuable than gold, silver, or platinum. Nice find in the dirt my friend....😁
@@leighmitcler3320 you’re kidding right! Wow I wish I knew this when cutting the video. I’m shocked. Thanks….the landowner is given everything to keep with the house so I will tell him!
Hello-I just finished watching this episode which was amazing. You held some paper that had Mount Vernon on it. I think you need to safeguard this as the signature below Mount Vernon looked like George Washington’s signature via h
Loving this video, and part one also had me hooked! Definitely would be on my vist list if I am ever lucky enough to visit 'The States" thankyou! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ keep creating as I am now hooked and subscribed ❤😊
Todd, Scott and Jeff’s gracious permission, what an awesome day you had. Such great relics and artifacts. Loved your opening drive across the river and of course your historical back story of the Kuykendall family. Defiantly go back after a good rain. Take care.👍👏😀
Hello AHD, y'all might want to consider bringing along a swingable pick (pointy on one end, wide flat on the other end) to defeat hard ground in the future since ya won't know that the ground will be like! Just say'n... Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 🙏😇👊
The pen you found is not a quill pen. A quill pen was made from a feather (quill) with the end carved to a point. What you have is a fountain pen. Everyone used fountain pens until halfway through the 20th century when ball point pens were invented.
Very nice show. Since I am Dutch, I am always interested in Dutch history all over the world. What I miss is some more history about the slaves on Kuykendall. It looks to me that this history is a little bit on the hidden site. Maybe afraid to talk about it or is this history unknown? Are their still descendants around?
Cont. from below. Via his initials. He did survey in that area & probably worked with the Kuykendalls. I suggest you save that paper & have it authenticated.
I would hate to be the one who dug it since the outhouse is still being used I think I heard, But just imagine all the cool things that are probably in the bottom of that thing because a lot of those outhouses are deep holes. I have seen other digs were outhouses proved to be a small treasure trove of items dropped in there accidentally. I wonder if the bottom of the outhouse has been detected or searched before?
My great great great great grandfather married a Ellenor kuykendoll brewer being her married last name who I traced her father back and his fathers and turns out this is the family I’m related to! So wild. Really wish I could visit this. Bound by blood I am. Thanks for looking into this home and it randomly popped up on my RUclips turns out I’m related to these people by a kuykendoll who married into my fathers bloodline
I can settle the pronunciation debate once and for all. Captain Isaac Kuykendall C.S.A. was captured in the civil war. He was a direct descendant of the Kuykendall’s who built this house. He is my ancestor. According to prisoner records in the Smithsonian, his name is written down “Kuykendall” and has an asterisk next to it and the guard wrote “prisoner insists it it pronounced K-I-R-K-E-N-D-A-L-L”. Captain Isaac spoke Dutch and knew how to pronounce his own name. His father and grandfather and great grandfather lived in this area and they would have also pronounced it Kirkendall. Many people in my family say Kykendall/Kike-en-dahl, but for them it is just an Americanization of the name to make it easier for others to understand.
You know I never thought this video would draw so many Kuykendall's and if you read through the comments, you will see so many variants of pronunciation. I actually call it "Koo" and "Kir" in these 2 video series because the same family still resides near there and they pronounce it both ways and being with Jeff the two times we really had some laughs trying to figure this out. I decided to let it go and see what the survey would be but as you can see, there are many comments on this very thing. Cheers.
Kuykendall is a Dutch name and the “uy” is pronounced like “eye”. K-eye-kendall. Or as another commenter, whose family members are Kuykendalls, said, they pronounce it like Kykendall.

I wonder who owns this house now? I know Ellen kuykendoll moved to Alabama and married my great great great grandfather but I searched her fathers fathers all the way back and yes it’s factual I am related to these kuykendoll.
Have you ever thought about having some of your funds vapor honed? It's a gental process using very fine glass bead, compressed air and water. Restores metal to like new finish. I have the equipment and am offering my services for free if interested.
Thank you for pronouncing Appalachia correctly. “Apple-at-cha” not “Apple-aie-sha”. You know someone is not from here when they pronounce it the latter. 👍
My great grandmother’s mom or grandma (?) not sure which (?) killed her husband with a cast iron skillet upside his head. She got completely away with it and the family didn’t speak on it. I have some skillets from my family but no clue if any one is the weapon. But I never saw one with a 4 foot handle! Also consider phrasing it as humans enslaved in bondage or something that recognizes these people were not born to be identified by their dehumanizing status placed on them by force. No human is normally is identified by what others do to them, but by their name, their tribe, their village, their country and often their voluntary occupation. Example: Pierre, was Seneca, Algonquin, recently from PortTank Iowa, USA and works as a carpenter. vs. Here is A Beaten. Here is a Kicked. Here is a whipped. And the families (let’s be honest) “owned” no people, but did enslave people or did engage in forced human kidnapping and trafficking. They may have taken it as a normal thing- But WE never should! Freedom is for all and is important to defend!

All so great and wonderful finds..let’s all never forget our BEGINNINGS. THANK YOU ALL❤️
Awesome Hunt today Todd. What an amazing place to be detecting on such a beautiful day brother. It just don't get any better then that. Finding some old relics an being able to just be in the beautiful presence of an old ruin that is still standing an in great shape to be as old as it is. An to be with the owner as well. An the history that goes with it as well. I'm sure the more you all go back the more relics you all will uncover. Todd, another awesome video in deed. Have yourself an amazing weekend my friend. An we will catch on the next video. 😁👍👍
Love the historical finds. Like looking back in time and imagining how life was. ❤️
I’m glad I found your channel- it’s been a real pleasure seeing this property and your digs there. I think the object you found at abt 7:18 is the back part of a door knob for an early box lock. The hole in the stem is where it would have had a screw to attach it to the square bar as part of the lock mechanism. I’m looking forward your future adventures. Thank you for taking us along!
Loved yours interactions with Scott and Jeff. It’s not just the dig it’s the relationships too. Great music by the way! Fantastic video!
You guys really rocked it this time! Great finds!
I'm curious about the match safe, and was trying to count the stars on the shield, but couldn't quite get it. It would be indicative of how many States at the time it was produced.
The kitchen was to die for. To have a large fireplace to bake in would be great today.
Back in the day they were usually separate from the house. Perhaps a more modern(?) setup.
I have a friend in NC that lives in a house built in 1761 or 2, and it had a separate kitchen.
Awesome video! Definitely need to do a Part 3. Love how you weave in the history into your digs. Great video.
Knocking out of the park Todd. Great video!
Another great dig, Todd! Several interesting artifacts in the bunch. Thanks for sharing!
Todd, how can your videos just keep getting better. I watched your last one and I was amazed by the way all of the finer points were covered perfectly; however, this one took all of them up another notch. Excellent production all around. From the introduction, to the body and the closing. I am very proud to be a patron of your channel.
The only thing I could think of to make this video better, is to have announced there will be a part 3, 4, 5...
Omg I'm at work and just caught a glimpse of the video. Unfair! Then I see you splashing through the creek, oh the anticipation. Can't wait to watch!
Part 2 did not disappoint fellas!....definitely need a part 3 after a good rain...whew!...I got tired just from watching. :)
You are definitely becoming a leader in this field. Great job. I can’t wait for the next. Thanks for the adventure.
Thanks so much!
WOW . I love the videos so much be glad you are able to do what you love to do. I haven’t had a good week you stay safe and tell your family I said hello.

That basement kitchen tho.. man how I'd love to search every nook and cranny of this gem...Great video todd as always 🎉
UbYou guys are having so much fun! Some very nice finds. There are probably lots more to be discovered as well. Can't wait for the next installment.
Rockin video Todd. Bold and brassy and awesome! Loved the intro, music and everything you guys found. Definitely go back!
That place is absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing Todd.
Been down, almost out. It looks like a lot of catching up. Always like the combination of storytelling and metal detecting. Cool video too
A lot of fun my friend!
What an amazing stone house.
Beautiful house and property! Love that you post a verse for the day. Thanks for taking us along! 😊
Gotta love saving the old coins! 💥⛏️💰 Keep it up! 💪

Your channel showed up in my feed and I am really enjoying watching your videos. They're very interesting! 🙂💜
Glad you like them!

Sounds good.....
Excited to see what part 3 has. I think my favorite is that beautiful pin.
It is Gold pointed...
Todd.
If come back when it's wetter, the trucks' going to float away:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
That looks like a makeup compact to me.. but it could be a back to a pocket watch
Definitely a makeup compact. I dug one just like it a couple days ago.
Another great video. Thank you!!

Thanks 👍 Ricky.
So fascinating! Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
BTW, Please do return after a rain.
Generous sharing by them, so Appreciated.
Enjoy ...
Beautiful area to hunt great intro,.enjoyed your video
Thanks 👍

They pronounce their name Kirk-in-doll in these parts.

Heard by outhouses good finds from when people pulled there hands out of their pockets to go in.
My neighbor looked like Isaac minus the beard
Awesome
What out buildings were constructed where the finds of materials collected? I am assuming those buildings have been deconstructed.
Likely. Maybe the slave quarters.
Very nice show. Since I am Dutch, I am always interested in Dutch history all over the world. What I miss is some more history about the slaves on Kuykendall. It looks to me that this history is a little bit on the hidden site. Maybe afraid to talk about it or is this history unknown? Are their still descendants around?
Yes. they still own the land.

pump organ reed..might be accordian but likely organ --lower base note
Mrs. Kuykendall: “Don’t you boys bring any of that trash back in my house now!”
I had a neighbor named Kuykendall
The eagle is maybe used to hold a bandana on or possibly napkin. Or maybe not.
Beautiful place.
The fountain pen usually has 14k tips on them, they add up. I would like to dig the privy there, hook me up lol
I would hate to be the one who dug it since the outhouse is still being used I think I heard, But just imagine all the cool things that are probably in the bottom of that thing because a lot of those outhouses are deep holes. I have seen other digs were outhouses proved to be a small treasure trove of items dropped in there accidentally. I wonder if the bottom of the outhouse has been detected or searched before?
Not sure. Others have suggested it.

Finds.
Thanks. I've never heard of it. Does it damage the object at all? Where can I find info on this process? Appreciate the info and offer.
Obviously, 2 men got into a scuffle, and that’s how the button, and back of pocket watch was lost.
How did the spoon get there.....LOL
🕶👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for pronouncing Appalachia correctly. “Apple-at-cha” not “Apple-aie-sha”. You know someone is not from here when they pronounce it the latter. 👍

Well said.
Kuykendall. It is pronounced "KAI ken dall" Kuy- as in Guy. OR Sometimes pronounced "Kirk" endall.
Our last name is pronounced Kai-ken-dall
