Trepassers !! Let me tell you my houston County tennessee story. I heard gunshots and knew it was on us. So being me I go there with my 4 lb dog in tow. I saw nothing but little dog did. Hiding in the brush was a deer hunter. He was told not so nicely to leave . He came back 2 more times. The last time I ran him off he actually called police on me saying I threaten to kill him. I was arrested. I didn't have a gun but he did. Yes my land is posted every 10 ft.
im in the highland rim aera putnam and white countys...we have thousands of sink and cave in the aera... love hiking the aera...its cool to find water coming up out of the ground and then alittle ways down see it disapear back into the rocks... yall keep yer toes warm
I was a Gandy Dancer for a couple of years after being Honorably discharged from the Army through the Veterans representative at what used to be called Job Service. Gandy Dancer is an old school term for a Railroad Track Layer. I could drive two spikes at the same time with a spike maul in each hand. Took a lot of damned practice. The trick to hitting the spike every time, was rolling the double headed maul in each hand as you were bringing them up and around for the next swing. The rails you showed appear to me to be at least from the 1800's period and also to be mine rails. Ones used inside a mine or an area that does not require full sized rail. Hope that helped. 👍from Utah.
Field plundering and a good many 44's! Love it that your finding early spring sinks with caves, need a few friends and the right equipment to go exploring my friend! Thanks for sharing and HH
I found a hole in a field many years ago that turned out to be over 100ft deep. It was an old mineshaft that had been backfilled and capped but years of water flooding it had washed it out and eventually the cap fell into the hole. It remained open for years until the people responsible were found and forced to fill it properly.
I'm a Tennessee native me and a couple buddy's love spelunking and exploring caves but it's difficult finding caves you don't have to pay or have a tour guide with you to go into anyway you'd let people come explore it? @deer123able
As soon as I saw that hole I thought about Beau! I've seen springs set up like that for holding milk cans in the creek it would have had a roof over it for shade. Nice location! Plenty to see and lots of ground to cover. Happy travels! Beeps.
Only heard the first railroad lines were much thinner than the ones today. Hope you get to explore that hole in the ground. Please don't go alone and make sure someone else knows where your going. Definitely could be dangerous. Interesting video, thank you.
I'd say the rails are 1880s or so ,I've found three Sherman's hair pins and they are three inches tall and have no holes for bolting. I've never weighed them but I can pick up a 14 foot rail though it is heavy . In 1850s when my rails were made they were made of iron, they have a whole different sound than steel when you hit them with a hammer or spike.
4:00 that is buckshot. You can see the dents from the other balls around the edges as they were fired with others in a muzzle loading black powder shotgun.
Those openings in that field remind me of a cave in Tennessee named " Indian grave point" in two of the large rooms in that cave daylight can be seen and if one further investigates the source is in a field just like that one.
We have many holes similar to that up here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula from the days of copper mining that was dug out n forgotten out in the woods. You can from time to time find mini old minded relics. And sadly at least once a year someone goes missing from falling off into one of these uncapped holes.when I live in Georgia and engaged in Civil War Relic hunting I found what was left of an old dugout under a large Limestone Bluff where someone has head parts of old rusted out black powder guns and bullets keep on digging remember many civilians head there household valuables in the ground do either keep it from the Union Army are the Confederate guerrillas bands...
We just always call the plate a reed too. I've only found one or two with the actual reeds still attached since they are very small and easily broken. Duck Landes do you know if they could change out the plates on a harmonica?
TennesseeJeff: On higher end harmonicas you can buy every part and replace it, comb, reed plate, reeds, outside covers, screws, etc. Lower cost harmonica you can't easily replace individual reeds because they are riveted in, though you can drill it out and replace it with a screw. And some are welded in, like Suzuki harmonica, you can break the reed out and secure a new one with a screw. Most people don't replace individual reeds because it's "not easy" since you also have to "tune" the reed. Looking at the Honhor web site you can see that some reed plates are very expensive, up to about $200. www.hohnershop.com/harmonica-parts/
The cut with the rails over it looks awful long for just a bridge over a creek. Reminds me of an old Mill race. Used to funnel the water through the "race" to speed it up and power a grist Mill.
My gggg grandfather owned 1000 acres in Rogersville, Tennessee in the early 1800s. Union took over the city during the civil war. Would love to have permission to search for old items on the ancestors Homesteads. Although, I wouldn't know what the heck I would be looking at.
Narrow guage rail my dad was an engineer for 49 years I found a mass Chinese grave in the desert woven with it steam trains used it and some mines good find guys
My momma day 6 sister's 2 brothers are from sweet water Tennessee Cleveland Poe county oh how I miss the smokies be goin up real soon, look like the had one hell of a shoot out one war I wish the South won LoL,good luck nice find I detect also love it!
If you can feel air coming out , there has to be another entrance somewhere . I think your right . Could be huge . I'd love to go in there and have a look .
Wow, that was quite the cave! You did the right thing by not going in there. It looked like the overhang of rocks really wasn’t safe. The rails looked real old. I wonder why they would want to cross there? Maybe because of the spring during the civil war? Thanks for sharing your adventure! 😊
Hi, I'm down in Loudon Co. and we find mostly fired and dropped minie balls around the site of Longstreet's crossing at what was once Huff's Ferry area near Loudon. I do believe that to be a cave entrance and not a sinkhole... I have both on my property and this looks more like a cave.
If your outta Tennessee there's pretty good chances that ground cave probably moves a distance. But your landowner probably will have you signing a release before you do anything.
Stay away from those ground holes, you never know when there is going to be a cave in. The bridge is interesting. Even if the rails are only 100 years old the stone abutments could be older. The bridge superstructures tend to rot and get replaced much more frequently than the abutments. To date the rails, you will have to check the webs(vertical part) for the manufacturer and date. The date is only occasionally stamped but, the manufacturer is usually there. Happy Hunting.
@@deer123able I hope that you aren't planning to take those out by hand. They will be heavy enough to hurt you. Removing the beams may also destabilize the rock abutments. Good Luck, Rick
Husband is a railroader and he said it looks like someone got a bunch of 65 pound rail to make a bridge out of it. He said he doubted that it was civil war era as it would be warped and unusable after all this time. Salvaged rail most likely.
You said " if there was a CS buckle you would jump down into tha cave". I took it as if there was a US buckle you wouldn't jump down there. Spoken like a true southerner and Tennessean. Take care and HH. Jim aka Tennessee Gem
Looks like a Dum-Dum bullet that was cut with a knife. Might be a root storage for a house. Keep root food there. Maybe an old field drain that was small and kept getting bigger. Plank boards across the rails. Wagon and walking.
I live in Bristol near a cave and there's a this bing hill and I digged a hole which leaves into a very thin hole which is deep as I stuck a flash light there I know it's illegal but I think I found something
I grew up in middle Tennessee. Fayetteville and went to M.T.S.U. and stayed in Murfreesboro for several years. Where is this? Looks like the same neck of the woods...
At 5:45 wouldn't that wedge be the piece that holds the barrel to the stock on a rifle of the Civil war era? Just a uneducated guess I'm not an expert but I do have two flintlocks and that what the wedge looks like to me .
The narrow gauge rails across the stone bulkhead construction looks like either the remains of a mill or the start of a mill that was never finished. It is too wide to be a roadbed. You should construct a small diy water turbine in the stream!
I hate that when that happens. I caught a trespasser Last Summer on a permission I had. Got his license plate number gave it to the property owner and he had a Sheriff go and talk to the guy and tell him not to come back. Cool cave!
The cave looks very promising for exploring and looking for artifacts. Do it right, with a team and equipment and historian from the college. The important thing about the air flow is it means there is another entire entrance. Thanks for your curiosity. Post it here when you go back there.
reminds me of a story shown somewhere about 10 years ago? A guy was looking around New Mexico one time and found a hole that led to a huge underground FRESH WATER LAKE! I often wondered if it was on his property, because fresh water is hard to find anywhere?
What part of Tennessee are you in?.... I was in murfreesboro and lafayette Tennessee for about 8 months. I stumbled upon a cave that was straight down maybe 30 to 40 feet and was not able to get in it at the time. If your interested in knowing the location let me know.... Not sure what could be in it. It's at a state park.
Good thing he was a friend because here we shoot first and ask questions later. LOL. Could the hole be from the start of a sink hole? The rails look more like bridge supports from the early 50s and 60s. I could be wrong but we have a bridge on our property with the same kind of rails. Great video so I am a new sub for you because I love relic hunting. I need to get one of them detectors but we live on a battle field from the civil war. Their is all kinds of built up mounds around in our fields that had tent rows in a old photo from back then. I have cut into a few of them and found all kinds of lead and buttons and other stuff. Keep up the awesome work and cant wait to watch more from you.
Thanks buddy! I'm sure its just a sink hole, but the cave maybe large. I hope they are rails, but if not they are still cool. If you live on a battle field you really need a metal detector its a great hobby. My friend Tim Henderson sells detectors at MURRAYBRANCHOUTDOORS.com
@@deer123able I would buy one but I am disabled and on a fixed income. SO I cant afford one at this time. I hope it changes but I don't think it ever will. Have a great night and god bless.
Kind of looked like a place battle plans would be drawn up. Probably met up with some trenches. Nice ambush spot. Dunno. But the rocks on top appear to be placed by man.
Icehouse...? My mom told me that when she was a kid, she used to go cool off in the ice house. It was a shed that was built over a stream, that kept things cool for them in the summer. Probably not, but that was the first thing I thought of. Ever go back to the hole in the ground?
Aquachigger is this guy: ruclips.net/user/aquachigger Pretty sure my Aquachig sub is how I ended up here! Chig is generally in the water in warm weather, but also digging out caves and wells, and metal detecting everywhere!
I've got those Natural Wells you speak of where I live here in SE Tennessee. You could spot them by the teal blue tinted water. They're the entrance to a cave if not full of water. When I was a kid we had one in our front yard but my parents had it covered up because they couldn't keep me out of it lol they can be VERY deep going on and on.
What part of Tennessee I grew up in Wartrace Tennessee on Union Ridge Rd out side of Shelbyville Tennessee and we had a cave about 100 150 yards away from our house on our neighbors property he's actually a good friend of my dad's he let us go through the cave and he used to do tours through the cave I don't know if he still does or not I also Grew up in Estill Springs Tennessee Tullahoma Tennessee we also had a cave on our property my dad and I have found a couple of old Canon balls from the war the civil war took part in parts of Wartrace Tennessee actually how Wartrace got it's name I miss living back home in Tennessee my mom my younger brother my aunt's my grandma my cousins live in Tullahoma Tennessee I've talked to my wife about wanting to move back home to Tennessee or in between Tennessee and Michigan so we can be close to our family in Tennessee and Michigan thank you for sharing this video with us
Hey Jeff ,when you move camera from side to side move it slowly and you'll have much better quality.And i won't get dizzy.lol.That rail looks like 60# rail. Thats how much it weighs per yard. That's how they categorize rail. Usually there's a year on it. It must of been a bridge.
Has the cave been explored or documented by a Tennessee grotto? I'm in Alabama and Alabama Cave Survey (ACS) is who keeps up with documenting caves here and mapping them. If you need more info I know the guy who works with the ACS and would know who to contact in Tenn. if interested.
I just happened to find your channel and subscribed as I love watching these kind of videos ! Do you research any of your finds as I love learning about stuff ! Thank you for a great video !

Condederate hideouts?
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE YOU EXPLORE THE CAVE !!! PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED !!!
I'm working on the next video now. Thanks for watching.
This would be amazing!!
Love to see that explored. I live for this stuff!! Awesome find!! Time to call The Chigg!!

Thanks Dennis!! Come listen to Diggin with seven and I every Thursday night at 8 pm eastern standard time on Relics Radio on spreacker.com
Want to see you explore the cave !!
Caves.. my kinda thing
4:00 that is buckshot. You can see the dents from the other balls around the edges as they were fired with others in a muzzle loading black powder shotgun.
I sure hope you get a video of that cave. I'd have a hard time not getting the gear together and doing an exploration👍
... looks like perfect 'sinkers' for fishing lines ; )
Great video and the cave will be cool....
Beautiful creek the whole area is beautiful
Look very carefully down there. You might find a Corvette! LOL. Good Hunting from Ky.!
Lol they may be on down there you never know.
The steel going over the creek might have been part of an old bridge crossing..It probably had wooden decking at some point.Check the cave out too.
Those tracks was possibly a bridge for wagons across creek. That ornamental brass was likely the base for glass on lantern.
Very true couldn't have said it any better
Glad you mentioned Aquachigger, that's what I was thinking! Thanks for sharing.

The harmonica piece at the end of the video is called a "reed plate". The part that the reeds attach to.

Of course,I only have the clarity of the video, but around the hole, the stones appear to be cross stacked .much like the ones by the ridve.

If you can feel air coming out , there has to be another entrance somewhere . I think your right . Could be huge . I'd love to go in there and have a look .
Hello guys just subscribed also fromTenn.We found a cave something like that in our woods we could see down in it but something we may need oneday .
I would love to have a cave on my property, and yes we all may need a cave one day.
I love the cave area and it would be beautiful if you shored up the rocks and made stone steps.
I wonder what's further inside? Cool mystery!
All you geniuses ever heard of a bunker?
Cool video! Thank you for sharing!

that river looks like a good trout creek :)
14:20 You can look at of the rails and find the date of manufacture
That a well from a old hand dug well. The houses foundation is literally going across it. There should be some great finds in there.
Good job.
It looks like narrow gauge rail that was used before the civil war.
that last piece looked like part of an old coal oil lamp. the round decorative part at the base that holds the chimney. thats my guess...
about the railroad tracks-do you suppose they supported a building that had a waterwheel? it seems to be too wide to just be a bridge!
You never know, but I'm pretty sure it was just a bridge.
I was thinking a water powerd still
If your outta Tennessee there's pretty good chances that ground cave probably moves a distance. But your landowner probably will have you signing a release before you do anything.
He probably will, but that's okay.
There's a Cave in Wartrace Tennessee on Union Ridge Rd
Looks to new to be civil war era rail. also fairly heavy . Look at each piece of rail, there should be markings on at least one of them.
Thanks David
Cool! Waiting for you camera view of the inside of the cave!
Soon
I’ve explored a few sinkholes like this and the entrances are not very stable. Mostly boulders suspended in mud. Be safe.
Stay away from those ground holes, you never know when there is going to be a cave in. The bridge is interesting. Even if the rails are only 100 years old the stone abutments could be older. The bridge superstructures tend to rot and get replaced much more frequently than the abutments. To date the rails, you will have to check the webs(vertical part) for the manufacturer and date. The date is only occasionally stamped but, the manufacturer is usually there. Happy Hunting.
Thanks Richard! As soon as Seven get's down here we will get one or two of them rails.
@@deer123able I hope that you aren't planning to take those out by hand. They will be heavy enough to hurt you. Removing the beams may also destabilize the rock abutments. Good Luck, Rick
I think those rails may be iron instead of newer steel rails. Check the sides of all the rails for stamping of the Maker or Railroad and date.
I'm going back Monday to look.
Husband is a railroader and he said it looks like someone got a bunch of 65 pound rail to make a bridge out of it. He said he doubted that it was civil war era as it would be warped and unusable after all this time. Salvaged rail most likely.
I have been reading some comments. Get it straight guys all of Tennessee is full of caves. Finding one is sort of like walking outside
Tennessee and Kentucky are full of cave's, but every one of them are different.
You said " if there was a CS buckle you would jump down into tha cave". I took it as if there was a US buckle you wouldn't jump down there. Spoken like a true southerner and Tennessean. Take care and HH. Jim aka Tennessee Gem
Where in TN are you guys I got some extremely old coins well land that will have slot of old old stuff in it ?
PM me on facebook if you would like me to come out and try to find some old history.
The ornate piece of brass you guys found toward the end of the video is part of an old lamp mantle. :).
Thanks
Looks like a Dum-Dum bullet that was cut with a knife. Might be a root storage for a house. Keep root food there. Maybe an old field drain that was small and kept getting bigger. Plank boards across the rails. Wagon and walking.
Any updates on this cave?
They have got the crops out of the field, but now it's deer season and the land owner deer hunts. It will hopefully be some time in February.
@@deer123able I have some pretty interesting screen grabs if interested!
I live in Bristol near a cave and there's a this bing hill and I digged a hole which leaves into a very thin hole which is deep as I stuck a flash light there I know it's illegal but I think I found something
Call an Archaeologist ! Historic! Set up a souvenir stand and sell all that lead in lil' cases. Awesome!
That brass piece is from a old chuck wagon strainer
I grew up in middle Tennessee. Fayetteville and went to M.T.S.U. and stayed in Murfreesboro for several years. Where is this? Looks like the same neck of the woods...
South of Gallatin
gosh i miss the mountains 😢 stranded in LA. good people, good memories
LA? Hope you get back to the mountains soon buddy.
many years passed ... nobody left, mountains cut down or on fire, aint young no more... but awesome memories huck finn woulda been jealous hehe
Could be some nice civil war relics in that cave -- maybe even money--I would be digging a opening and climbing in !!!
Trying to get permission for next week.
So what model and make of detector do you use. I was thinking of getting a Fisher 22 to begin with.
For home sites I use the Teknetics T2 and for civil war camps Minelab GPX.
Maybe an old cache from Civil War or a root cellar. Holler in it and see if you get an echo.
Could also be an old Shinners hide. Might find a couple Mason Jars of Shine.😳
At 5:45 wouldn't that wedge be the piece that holds the barrel to the stock on a rifle of the Civil war era? Just a uneducated guess I'm not an expert but I do have two flintlocks and that what the wedge looks like to me .

Looks like many years ago they dumped rock over it. I have these on my farm in KY.

5:20 is a step wedge for an axe or a hammer
Better peel that open and get to investigating it. LOOKS interesting!!
Anyone know what piece at 5:46 is? Can't understand what he guessed it was.
Part to a bayonet scabbard tip.
@@deer123able It looks similar to an assembly part for a black powder revolver.
Looks like the top band off of a kerosene lamp or an old light fixture
Holder for the glass top on a old days oil lamp my dad owns a few plus I grew up going to antique sales a lot with my dad and grandma
Kind of looked like a place battle plans would be drawn up. Probably met up with some trenches. Nice ambush spot. Dunno. But the rocks on top appear to be placed by man.
Looks to me that’s narrow gauge which would be 1800’s and there must of been a gris mill on top of the rails .

Ever go back to the hole in the ground?
Dose he even read this thing
At 3:58 Bushwhack ?
I do believe at that time they just ran across some unwelcome Trespassers, Bushwhack seems rather harsh ?
Some of those stones up like they were cut and placed there. Almost like it's an old natural well. Who is aquachigger??
Nevermind I watched him before! The first time I saw aquachigger you went down on a well that I had about a hundred snakes in it LOL
Aquachigger is this guy: ruclips.net/user/aquachigger Pretty sure my Aquachig sub is how I ended up here!
Chig is generally in the water in warm weather, but also digging out caves and wells, and metal detecting everywhere!
I've got those Natural Wells you speak of where I live here in SE Tennessee. You could spot them by the teal blue tinted water. They're the entrance to a cave if not full of water. When I was a kid we had one in our front yard but my parents had it covered up because they couldn't keep me out of it lol they can be VERY deep going on and on.
Good video buddy. Happy Hunting
Thanks Josh! we need to get out before it gets too hot.

Sumner County.
Kinda looks like mining track. Seen similar in silver mines in NM.
Hey Jeff ,when you move camera from side to side move it slowly and you'll have much better quality.And i won't get dizzy.lol.That rail looks like 60# rail. Thats how much it weighs per yard. That's how they categorize rail. Usually there's a year on it. It must of been a bridge.
Thanks for the info Roy I'll slow it down.
Looks like there might have been a huge building there or a shaft of some sort.
I'll check.
Has the cave been explored or documented by a Tennessee grotto? I'm in Alabama and Alabama Cave Survey (ACS) is who keeps up with documenting caves here and mapping them. If you need more info I know the guy who works with the ACS and would know who to contact in Tenn. if interested.
Should make video of you going down the cave that would be cool
The guy it's on your land should come to agreement anything he finds split each way makes sense
I just happened to find your channel and subscribed as I love watching these kind of videos ! Do you research any of your finds as I love learning about stuff ! Thank you for a great video !
