    Yeah, digging in the cellar hole is very interesting. I could sit here and watch you do that all day. You never know what you're going to find in there. The old mason jars are cool. But just pulling stuff out of the ground it's so interesting. You just never know. I would love to see you go back and just dig that out for a while. Stay safe. If you see this look back I've got some books I offered you but I never heard from you.

      Man I miss my detector, my one week old at pro max is in the bottom of that hole I foud in the middle of that creek in Elkton Maryland Beau. Learned a very expensive lesson that day.... Strap the detector to your arm just in case it snags on something. Oh well I'm 500 miles south now. Love the videos buddy.

    Very fun watching the cellar scraping. If you go back, you need to rig up a shaker box, you can make one out of pvc or wood, I'm sure you know. Take turns shoveling and sifting. I think people would be interested in it . Maybe ?

    @rlsingle00 4 года назад +2

    I live close (about an hour away) from where you are digging. We never had much growing up in the fifties, but when I was born, a neighbor bought me a solid silver baby’s spoon with my name on it. They couldn’t have had much money back then. We were not directly related, but growing up everyone were considered Aunts and Uncles in my community. Yes I still have the spoon!

  • @lesahanners5057
    @lesahanners5057 4 года назад +2

    Boy do I ever remember the old coal shovel. I spent far too many winters on the working end of one of those. They used to drop a load of coal down our back basement stairs and it was one of my chores to shovel it all into a bucket and haul it over to the basement coal bin. What a dirty job that was.

  • @cornspike
    @cornspike 4 года назад +1

  • @richardperkins6132
    @richardperkins6132 4 года назад +5

    Awesome place to detect an do a major dig out in the cellar. I believe your right chigg. There's no telling what you will uncover where you were finding the old mason/atlas jars. Like you said everything that was left in the house is now covered up. So a dig out would be awesome. That's a really cool place an it's fairly old. There could have even been something there before they were there. I would definitely spend some more days on the site even if turned Into a part 3 or 4. You just never know what you will uncover from many years gone bye. Great video guys, of a old home place. It's always awesome when you get the chance to really go over an old home place even if they didn't have much money they still had some things that meant alot to them or possibly even buried some silver an gold coins that they were saving for a special occasion. Can't wait to see what you guys find on part 2,3,4,? As always safe an happy hunting/digging.

Keep up the fantastic work!!!

    Don't keep us waiting any longer, go back dig deeper in the cellar. Check the walls, only if walls could talk and tell us the history. Believe me they where not the, "Good Ole Days" as some of these young bratts call them. I don't know but it's possible that ole chunk of coal, probably was hand dug by the family. Then carried or sledded in a few miles. If you only had the chance to hit it a month back. You probably would of found the only treasure they had, in a gen seng patch. I saw a 3 prong steem as you where near the dam wall. As always thanks for taking us all along! God Bless you! (Glen).
