The most valuable objects are not made of expensive metal. Bravo, bro!

I really enjoy your channel. My old kin are from Virginia they owned over 50,000 acres back in the day. One of their kin, my relation, purchased alot of land in Ohio, that's where I'm from. Wish for the old days, better living

I love the dumps! Glad you found some keepers & got out

[@jerrydineen2827]

Those old maps are interesting to me, I love looking at them. The old trash dump is where I would love to look for treasures!

I’ve heard of historic aerials but never used them-till now. Thanks for the tutorial and adventure. Stay safe.

I know this video is 3 years old but i just stumbled on it and i wanted to say thank you.

[@xaviermclellan2441]

Thank you for the historic aerials website. This is so helpful considering our historical society has absolutely nothing. Thank you so much!

Good job Ben. For me its the excitement of researching an area and then hitting it with the hopes it hasn't been hunted! Always exciting and satisfying when it pays off! Stay safe and all the best brother!

Great job! Your information will help me hunt my favorite spot and find more hidden areas on the Southeast Georgia coast, with permission of course. Thank you and keep up the good work. Happy hunting!

We love using historic Aerials quite a bit, especially the topos.

Great video Ben, really enjoyed that buddy you were more successful finding bottles than I was, but I'm going back to the river this week

[@digitupboys9339]

Thanks for all the helpful info. Much appreciated

I don't know if you'll ever see this, since this video is 3 years old, but I am trying to find where Alexander Hughes had what he called a plantation in his will. It was in Mooresville on Coddle Creek and was 400 acres by the time he died in 1825. He and his wife Margaret Kerr Hughes lived there from about 1780 till they died in the early 1800s. The land was sold to Alexander Hughes by James Carruth of Mecklenburg. It took me decades of research to even get that much information! I might go try to find if anything is left of the place this summer. I imagine there won't be a brick of it left, but you never know.

Some very useful information you've shared. Kind of a shame where they dumped garbage back then. Some real pretty landscape you've got there. Thanks again for another video, loved watching!...Garnet

[@underdiggeroakley2903]

Thanks for bringing me along Mr Ben.

[@stevenartascos2918]

Thanks alot brother Ben, great info, I'm checking in from Pennsylvania, love to bottle and relic hunt, thanks for the tip on searching for arrow heads too.. ✌️🎸

[@DigginwithSeven]

Excellent tips! Our courthouse burned twice, the first during the Civil War by John Hunt Morgan, therefore it’s a lot of work for us to find house sites as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
