Todd, Your videos around these homesteads help us to remember all those many generations that were forgotten. Your videos help put names and faces to people who, like our veterans , built or saved this great country. Cheers, Rik
Thanks Rik. The historical nuggets are gold for those of us who love history. When we don't know the history of places like this, developers raze them....
Thank you for sharing your finds. My Dad worked for the Streets Dept for the City of Atlanta, Georgia for 30+ years from the 1950's until the 1980's & he was always finding old money when digging up streets. Of course whatever he found was for him to keep. The oldest coin he found was an 1812 US dime! I have never had it appraised, but would hope it would be valued for more than ten cents.
Very cool! That Dime would likely be a Capped Bust and yes, more than a dime...in good condition, at least $100 and up to several hundred dollars or more for better condition. That is a great find.

Glad you enjoyed it Larry. I'm not in the military, but I'm in the Dept of Defense - Army Corps of Engineers and have spent 2+ years of my life in Iraq and Afghanistan overseeing military construction. The Veterans deserve all the accolades.... I serve them.
Todd a beautiful back story and family history. Scott is so generous to share the property and so awesome he is metal detecting as well. Please continue to visit there. The out buildings and home are spectacular. Great finds. Congratulations 😀👍👏
We had snow and temps dropped to the teens. But this week we are climbing into the high 30’s. Pam and I are going out Thursday just to get out. And get in the woods. The soil on the farmsteads take awhile to freeze the minerals are amazing from the manure blend. Take care and thank you for your continued support.👍😀
I live in Gerrardstown and love learning about this area. I wish I has the connections you do to just visit these areas. I've been digging for the history of our little region for a little while now and have found so many little things that wof otherwise be forgotten one day
Don't short change yourself....you can do it too....any passion for history can help get some good research and just approach the landowner. I get no's too door knocking. You are in a great area there. I'm not that far from you.
I love the story telling, great job 👍 Thank you for info on the shotgun cartridge, I dug my first one of those this year, was hoping it 1800's 😀 From what I could see, the lipstick tube at end of video, looked like a model T valve stem cover? HH and look forward to the next story 😍
Hello from Knoxville my friend. Great video and such a beautiful place. I would definitely recommend going back. Just think of what is still in the ground. How do you find all of these places. I have trouble finding the bathroom now at my age. Stay safe my friend and thank you for taking me along.
Thanks Steve....some places are local fans of my channel who invite me out. Most are found by research I do from pouring over books, maps and talking to local old timers.
The small horse shoe is probably either a donkey or a mule shoe. They have small feet. Young horses are usually not shod. And horses are not used for work till they are a few years old. Shoes for pulling or draft size horse can be the size of a dinner plate...
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives My husband is a ferrier, so I recognize the shoes you find. Front and back shoes are shaped different. The kinda pointed ones are back shoes, the round ones are front feet. You showed quickly one time a shoe that had a clilp on the front, and one that had heels. No matter how tight the ferrier has the shoe on, mud will pull them off and sometimes damage the hoof. Horse shoe nails are always kinda flat.. not square or round. and the heads are kinda flat too, cause they have to fit into the grove that the shoe has on the bottom. You had a shoe that actually had nails still in it. Definately one that had been sucked off by mud the horse walked in..
@@bonniebertrand1189 thanks for sharing this information with me. I hope I remember when I dig them up next time. I find them often. I rarely can recognize what animals they came off of though. This is great info!
Todd,
Your videos around these homesteads help us to remember
all those many generations that were forgotten.
Your videos help put names and faces to people who,
like our veterans , built or saved this great country.

Love the video. This channel is unique from other detecting channels. Keep up the good work
“There is a French and Indian war fort somewhere around here.” “Ahh, we’re standing in it.” 😂 Unreal!
I know crazy....
Todd a beautiful back story and family history. Scott is so generous to share the property and so awesome he is metal detecting as well. Please continue to visit there. The out buildings and home are spectacular. Great finds. Congratulations 😀👍👏
Thanks 👍 You guys snowed in for the season now?

Loved this video. Fantastic finds.
Glad you enjoyed
We have a battle site here for the war of 1812. Todd, your videos always tell a great story. Thanks for the adventure.
Thanks my friend.

@AppalachianHistoryDetectives here's to hoping I run in to you one day!
Beautiful home
Hey Todd the thing you called a lipstick tube is a Model T Ford valve stem cap just letting you know .
You know I thought it was and discussed that with Scott. What threw us off was the screw on cap at the end.
I love the story telling, great job 👍 Thank you for info on the shotgun cartridge, I dug my first one of those this year, was hoping it 1800's 😀 From what I could see, the lipstick tube at end of video, looked like a model T valve stem cover? HH and look forward to the next story 😍
does the homepwner get all or part what is found
Yes I gave Scott everything found but got to keep the button. Landowner can keep any and all.
Looks like a pretty good haul 💕
great video

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives I thought so. Are you watching the game
@@stevespears3341 I just got in. Been out catching up on outside chores. I need to see if we are winning. Man I hope so….

Thanks Bonnie. I don’t find small shoes often and this one stumped me. Appreciate the help.
