    Spearmint reminds me of my grandmother’s house. We’d go over to eat lunch on Sundays and she would tell us to pick some “mint” to put in our iced tea. As I recall it’s a pretty hardy plant and grows into big clumps almost like a bush.

    • @AppalachianHistoryDetectives

      Me too Rob. Our camp in the mountains had this mint grow in a creek nearby and we would "snack" on it.

    Loved it! Thanks Gary for allowing Todd to present us this fading history.

    Squirrels will bury the black walnuts from just one tree, and in a few years, walnuts trees will be growing everywhere that the soil is not plowed or tilled. They will do the same thing with pecan tree nuts. I have both black and English walnut trees in my yard as well as two different types of pecan trees. Starting as soon as the nuts are formed and have meat, the squirrels begin their invasion of my front yard. They will bury hundreds of these nuts in the fall and continue to return all winter and early spring to retrieve their bounty.
    Not only will they forage the nuts from my trees, I had a bushel of hulled black walnuts drying in the sun on a concrete pad right next to my dog kennel. I happened to notice a few days after I set them out that the basket looked lower than when I picked them up for drying. I just thought they were drying and settling. A few days later I saw two squirrels jumping out of an almost empty basket. What two squirrels did with a bushel of black walnuts is a mystery to me unless they ate what they wanted and buried the rest.

    I can’t wait for you to detect this area, as usual it is beautiful. Gary is such a wealth of knowledge. I wished young people these days would listen to the stories of the elders more. They have such wonderful stories!

    • @AppalachianHistoryDetectives
      @AppalachianHistoryDetectives  5 месяцев назад +1

      I agree....I was born a hundred years too late. I love listening to their stories and imagining life then.

    Only two things I would like when it is my time to travel beyond is to hear the dulcimers and the mandolin while I lay to rest in amongst the black walnuts. A grove of black walnut like that was valuable back in the early days. Thank Gary for his service and thank you for the history. 👍

    • @AppalachianHistoryDetectives
      @AppalachianHistoryDetectives  5 месяцев назад +1

      I love the Dulcimer...and Bagpipes. In my early videos I feature the Dulcimer almost exclusively. There are still local bands that play this instrument but its all old timers.

    • @nh_highlander1985
      @nh_highlander1985 5 месяцев назад

      I attend the Highland games in Lincoln, NH every fall just to hear the bagpipes echo through the White Mountains and to listen to my friends Albannach play the drums and pipes of old. Thanks for posting great content.@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives

    • @AppalachianHistoryDetectives
      @AppalachianHistoryDetectives  4 месяца назад +1

      I have a video of the Highland Games in northern Virginia. My son plays the Bagpipes. Look through my videos and see if you can find the one I'm talking about. It is called the Scottish Games I believe. I didn't get a lot of views on it because people are more interested in my history or detecting videos but personally it is one of my favorite videos.

    • @nh_highlander1985
      @nh_highlander1985 4 месяца назад

      Thanks for the point to and I will find it. I have been to Highland games in WV, Maine and NH. I have traced my family heritage to 1311 AD in the Hebrides in a small village called Ull on the land known as Mull. It took me 45 years of research to find this but it was a journey I would take again. Thanks again man....time marches on!✌@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives

    Todd, another beautiful location. Nice to see Gary and excited to see what you pull out of the ground. Sad about the head stones, at least most were intact. 👍👏😀

    Really interesting, would be nice to fence off the graveyard and reset the headstones, but money doesn’t grow on trees. Tell Gary thank you for his service during Vietnam war. 🙏🏼🤙🏼

    • @AppalachianHistoryDetectives
      @AppalachianHistoryDetectives  5 месяцев назад

      Will do...others have suggested the same, and even some have argued against touching them...crazy huh! I would love to see this and others I have come across like it to be fixed back and fenced.

    Shame you cant straighten up the cemetary and put a nice fence of some sort around it with an entry gate to keep the cows out.

    Such a lovely landscape! I imagine the walnuts were English. I got hold of some years back and man oh man, are they tough to get into!
    Sad the cemetery has been ruined by livestock.
    Sometimes an aerial view can better place the layout of an old farm such as this. This place would have been perfect for a drone! How about it Todd?

    Really enjoy your videos, I was able to determine that Edward L Kline's wife Mollie Jane Kline's maiden name was Slonaker.

    • @AppalachianHistoryDetectives
      @AppalachianHistoryDetectives  4 месяца назад

      Very interesting. The Slonaker's are an early family here and I have done a number of vidoes on the pioneer Slonaker's......this makes sense! Thanks!

      Hey Gay I’ve been asked to do some shorter videos. The last 2 were 40 minute videos so these will be almost 20 minute videos. I try mixing it up. I could have made this one 10 minutes longer.

    • @gayeyount7948
      @gayeyount7948 5 месяцев назад

      I could have watched it if it had been a dull length movie. Just watched one from the Hillbillies files that was over and hour long. That s just me especially with history and the Appalachian mountains.

    • @AppalachianHistoryDetectives
      @AppalachianHistoryDetectives  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hey I've seen that channel....my next video is "shorter" than 20 minutes. I did a poll and it seems most viewers don't like videos over 25 minutes so this is a needle needing threaded. LOL

    • @Pwrcritter
      @Pwrcritter Месяц назад

      Appalachian History Detective I'll watch them however long or short they are. I thoroughly enjoy all of them.
