I love watching your videos so much I learn something new every time they entertain me very much and inspire me. Every night my mom and i sit down and watch you on the smart TV and we both love your channel. Thank you for the wonderful video's you put out for us
I love old cemeteries! I always get a laugh . U wont believe what are on some head stones. In the keys is a womans stone that says Told u I was sick. Lol I love walking around them
This was far from boring! I love your story telling and adventure hunting. I had you on our big 4K tv so I could get my boyfriend hooked on the Chigg. Sure enough he stopped what he was doing to watch, and really enjoyed it! I can never get him to watch RUclips.... until now! Hope you go back and keep the stories coming!! Thank you!
I found you by accident, your well worth a watch. I have watched Ken Burns - The US Civil War many times. I have several friends in America and that terrible war still echoes down the years. Sometimes it's as if it never really ended. We had our own civil war in England but it was nothing like yours. We more or less ended up back where we started from except the monarchy lost absolute power. They were a weird lot in them days. When Berkeley Castle was finally taken everyone went home for tea. The Roundhead's had breached the walls with cannon. The castle surrendered and as long as the hole in the wall was not repaired the Roundheads were happy. No one was taken prisoner or hanged - nothing. Sort of don't do it again or we will get really really angry. Brother did fight brother though and at times some pretty horrible things happened on both sides. Nobody wins in a civil war, or any war really. As an outsider in some ways I feel your civil war was the worst war in history.
jp 'Sort of dont do it again or we will get really really angry' As an American that sounds so British to me I love it. Like a line right out of a Monty Python skit.
You have the BEST VIDEOS on yt! This was fascinating and I loved it. So much history to learn about and you're a great teacher! I'm a long time watcher who's still amazed by your vlogs! All the very best to you!
I have friend in Birmingham where her street is called Roman Way....They find Kingdom relics planting their gardens. You all have REAL history beneath your feet,just must report what you find incase is rare museum worthy artifact,right? Cheers, Timothy
Your videos are absolutely the best, highly informative and educational. You sure know your stuff. You are a true treasure hunting professional. Keep up the good work sir.
the flatted road used to be a rail tracks and the stone wall used to be a loading dock to unload the dead bodies from Ffestiniog railway hearse wagon. we have that in Chicago many years ago...like back in 1930's?
Chicago “L” funeral train cars, a little bit history :) www.wbez.org/shows/curious-city/when-you-could-ride-an-l-train-to-your-grave/55a25bad-ad06-4e18-8f40-98bc3004d9e4
This is a great video Chigger. I really enjoyed the cemetery. I think that would be an interesting visit. I found an old grown up cemetery near Dyersburg, TN a few years ago with several Civil War veterans buried there. It was in the middle of a small woods near farm land and some tombstones had been run over by tractors. I always wondered about the history behind that place.
Man, your videos bring me so much peace. My home town is actually where Stonewall is buried. I used to love exploring in the woods and graveyards. Now i live in the desert (Which I do enjoy.) but I miss the east coast and all the history. Thanks for bringing a little bit of home back to me!
These walk about tours are great chigg. Really liking how youre always full of knowlegde about these areas and the histories. Great perspective great videos. MOAR
When I was a kid our school took a field trip to a treatment plant...yeah, I don't know who's bright idea that was...but after the tour we had a picnic on the grounds LOL appetizing
Greetings from Oregon AC! Found your channel just yesterday and have been enjoying all your escapades. I looked up Martinsburg, WV and found the area you were exploring near the railroad tracks just south of the Green Hill Cemetery. Too bad about all the junk there but even in my youth (in the mid fifties) in Roseburg, Oregon there was a unattended town dump on the edge of town that was always burning. I remember going with my dad often to dump the trash at this dump and look for treasure/goodies! For a lot of towns it wasn't until the latter part of the nineteenth century before people became more conscious about what they were doing to the environment.
I sure enjoy your videos....you are great in telling the stories and i love seeing all your adventures....keep it up....I love your sense of humor!! dont ever let anyone change that....Sheri Smith
Such a wholesome video. They always are, but this one was particularly nice. After having moved to Louisiana a few years ago I really miss the topography of the more northern parts of the U.S. and the wildlife and such. That hawk in the background in the earlier part of the video made me think of home.
I have a revolutionary era burying ground ins my property. I have found one once and notified the town cemetery committee. it was unknown to them. it has since been cleaned up and now is properly maintained. love our old places. some dating to 1600s.
My mother-in-law 1903 - 1990 lived in Kansas as a small child, father had passed when she was a baby and left mom with 5 kids. they would walk the tracks and pick up coal for their heat and cooking. She also found little dishes from the dining car.
Killin' it Chigg!! So my bf and I just bought a house in Marietta, GA and we hear that there was alot of civil war action in the area and we cant wait to metal detect our backyard! Thanks for making all these awesome videos and getting us all excited for treasures! :) :)
I'm a newbie to your channel. Discovered quite by chance. I hale from the North but spent many summers in Tennessee at the Grandparents farm. While traveling there we stopped at many Civil War Battlefields. I have a deep respect for those who endeavored from both sides. My Grand Mother told me of a Great GrandFather taken by the Night Riders and never heard from again. I don't share your passion for metal detecting but I do love exploring out of the way places and your appreciation for History. Great stuff!
Back in the day..... "Hey.....where can we dump all of our garbage and crap"........"ou ou.... I know.....in the stream where we get our drinking water!" ......."Yea.....yea......why didn't I think of that." Nice tour....always fun, informative and riveting.
I love your exploration videos! I actually find myself answering you when you ask a question, then laugh at myself for doing so. Id love for you to come to my hometown, Wheeling, WV and find some history! Our history is very colorful and we had several forts in the area back in the day. Keep up the good work! I always look forward to your next adventure!
From what I understand, he reacted negatively when he found war material in the box cars. That's where the Confederates got sky blue kersey trousers. He was a very astute and skilled military leader. Wars are fought over money. I'm sure that somebody in NYC today would make money betting against the train. Great video!
@@sloanchampion85 Accept that destroying railroad profits turned them against the south preventing their own cargo from moving. Kind of a dumb move really.
I'm from GA and proud to be a descendant of some brave soldiers who fought for the CSA at Gettysburg! The south got a lot of its supplies(including rations and munitions, etc.)...by seizing them from the north! I'm glad that Stonewall pilfered and burned those boxcars!
THANK YOU, I'VE ENJOYED YOUR VIDEOS, THEY ARE WELL PRESENTED, YOU ARE A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON AND HAVE OBVIOUSLY DONE THE HOMEWORK. YOUR PRESENTING SKILL IS EXCELLENT, THE ART OF HISTORY IS KEEPING THE INTEREST OF THE 'PUPIL', IN WHICH YOU SURPASS.
Hey Chig. Love your vids! That first military grave you see around 9:25 is of S3C Paul Isol Stewart, USN. He died in a transport aircraft crash near Albuquerque, NM with ten other USN personnel. Looks like three "famous" folk are buried there. Robert Barrat (an actor), George Bowers (a banker/politician) and David Strother (a Union general, artist and author). Over 9,000 souls resting there. Doesn't look that big but many cemeteries seem to be that way. Don't know if I would stick my hands in there, at least not un-gloved. I love bottles though, so who knows. Good hunting!
I live in Delaware county pa.five minutes from Philly airport we have always called them groundhogs .i planted a pear tree in the front yard 10! Years ago and have had one living by the front of my house for like two years living off all the pears on the ground..pretty cool guy.im right on the Delaware river by the lazaratto building surrounded by John Heinz wildlife refuge .get turkey running around the neighborhood
From the little 4-4-0s and wooden boxcars of the Civil War period to that CW44-6 and that ES40DC pulling 89' autoracks - that right of way has seen some railroad history!
The local police(not railroad police) will ticket people crossing, or even being near the CN tracks in the town I'm from. The reason they are even in the area ticketing people is because part of a conservation trail system comes right out onto CN property, and majority of the people aren't even aware they are breaking the law. They normally just give warning though. It mostly happens on high traffic days like holidays in the fall when everyone is out destroying the muddy trails.
Stonewall Jackson was a brilliant military strategist! All's fair in love and war! If he didn't do what he did you can bet the Yanks would've done sumthin to us first. But I do love all the knowledge you share. I watch your vids everyday. Learn so much! Thanks, Chiggs! Really hope you return there to scope out more and find us an engine!!!
First, war hadnt been declared, secondly, the comment about if he hadnt done it then the Yanks would have done something...is merely supostition and basically justifying the seizure of private property. Fairly typical Southern view point, "We didnt do anything wrong"..... Well, we all know how that worked out for the South.
We have tons of those cold storage hills up here in Mass. The civil war era is my favorite part of history. Love every thing about the 1800s. History is a great thing. Something that should be relish to the max!
Our sewer plant during storms gets overwhelmed and overflows untreated sewage straight into the river. This happens a couple times a year. We never mess around in the water below the treatment plant.
Great educational and inspirational video. I am north of you in Pa and seeing some of the places you visit plants ideas in the brain to walk some of the places around my area with similar possibilities. Thank you for your encouragement.
Ryan Schertrumpf I have been going to jim thorpe for years. my father in law lived in beltzville. I use to fish mauh chung.....love the gravity railroad
Love your videos. When my nephews were young, I used to walk with them around town, fishing, camping, etc. and anything shiny we would come across would be 'treasure!' hah! The town I live in was a coal mining town in SE Kansas. Lots of strip pits in the area, thus many places where they had temp mining camps. You just may inspire me yet to take up metal detecting. What an adventure!
Clarence E Butts son of William and Annie L Butts (the smaller headstones are his parents). Clarence married Lucy Vesta (Miller) Butts Jordan (1 Apr 1900 - 6 Jan 1979) on 3 Apr 1926 in Martinsburg, Berkeley County, West Virginia, as her first husband. Lucy was born in Morgan County, West Virginia, to Martin Simpson Miller (1869-1942) and Amy E. (Hull) Miller ["Bettie"] (1864-1924). Clarence was married to Lucy at the time of his death. According to his death certificate, she left him about 10 months before his death and refused to care for him during his illness. Lucy married William Preston Jordan (10 Jan 1887 - 28 Sept 1947) on 28 Nov 1933 in Martinsburg, Berkeley County, West Virginia. William was divorced from Laura Lee (Miller) Jordan Wintermoyer (8 Oct 1894 - 5 Apr 1948) at the time of their marriage. Clarence E Butts Obituary: Cumberland Evening Times 20 Apr 1927, page 9 (Courtesy of Priscilla Engeman/transcribed by Genie) C.E. Butts, ages 43, ill for the past ten months, died Thursday morning at his home, 425 Kentucky avenue, Martinsburg, W. Va. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon with burial at Martinsburg in Green Hill Cemetery. Delegations from the Odd Fellows, Red Men, Modern Woodmen and the Brotherhood of Trackmen (Baltimore & Ohio Railroad) of which he was a member, will attend. Mr. Butts is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Butts, of Martinsburg, six sisters and two brothers, C.L. Butts, Cherry Run; A.D. Butts, Martinsburg; Mrs. Mabel Hasenbuhler, Mrs. Gladys Riser, Hagerstown, Md.; Mrs. Jessie Mudge, Cumberland, Md.; Mrs. Bessie Crawford, North Mountain; Mrs. Cora Freshour, Cherry Run, and Miss Zelda Butts, at home.
Fascinating! Grateful for the info. I wonder if he married her because he knew he was dying. Maybe she discovered something unspeakable about him. I could speculate endlessly but hey, there must have been some reason she rejected him so soundly. How did you discover that little tidbit?
I'm a new subscriber to your channel, I've always loved American history but I've never owned a detector. I have found a bunch of Indian pottery in creeks from the creek Indians who inhabited my area in Georgia. Now I'm very interested in metal detecting. Thank you for the awesome videos. You remind me of me as a kid romping around the woods all day on a never ending adventure. Stay young.
I found a structure similar to the second mausoleum built into the side of a hill at a cemetery near me. Turns out its where the grounds keepers throw all the flowers and gifts people leave behind on the headstones
I love the ground hog holes I found 1848 beer bottle from 1 of the brewerys in harpers ferry at a location in harpers ferry only the 2nd intact one I was able to locate anywhere

Nice journey ! Thanks for taking us along

I love trains almost as much as I love to watch chigger! !!!!
I love old cemeteries! I always get a laugh . U wont believe what are on some head stones. In the keys is a womans stone that says Told u I was sick. Lol I love walking around them

Another great video I used to love wandering along railroads myself ,love searching places like that.
Stonewall Jackson is my ancestor! I found out as a child from my great grandma! Love hearing stories about him!
What a fascinating individual. He single handedly could have changed history.
I have found projectile points on the top of gopher mounds. What I miss about trains is the caboose. Trains just don't seem right without them.
Stories of when caboose were in use would make your eyes get big and round..lol 😮
You have the BEST VIDEOS on yt! This was fascinating and I loved it. So much history to learn about and you're a great teacher! I'm a long time watcher who's still amazed by your vlogs! All the very best to you!

Yes, please go back, and see what you can find. My husband, & I love going to old cemeteries around where we live.

Love this guy....can listen to him forever!!!
Really enjoyed the trip into the woods, thanks for taking us along.

I could have been on that train!! I work at csx! Work out of Nashville at the Radnor yard
Must say I enjoyed the history lesson.
These walk about tours are great chigg. Really liking how youre always full of knowlegde about these areas and the histories. Great perspective great videos. MOAR
Thanks for all the history
Enjoyed the walk along the tracks and the Cemetary.
Definitely need to come back and do some more exploring
When I was a kid our school took a field trip to a treatment plant...yeah, I don't know who's bright idea that was...but after the tour we had a picnic on the grounds LOL appetizing
Amazing. You can take a walk thru nothing and make it everything. Subscribed.
I absolutely love every video you put out! So informative! Thank you!
god I love all this history. especially RR history.
I think going back to look for relics magnate fishing/metal detecting near the bridge crossing is a great idea for a future video! Please do.

Very interesting chigg and thanks for sharing GL and HH....Ron
Hey Chig. Love your vids!
That first military grave you see around 9:25 is of S3C Paul Isol Stewart, USN. He died in a transport aircraft crash near Albuquerque, NM with ten other USN personnel.
Looks like three "famous" folk are buried there. Robert Barrat (an actor), George Bowers (a banker/politician) and David Strother (a Union general, artist and author). Over 9,000 souls resting there. Doesn't look that big but many cemeteries seem to be that way.
Don't know if I would stick my hands in there, at least not un-gloved. I love bottles though, so who knows.
Good hunting!
Great video. That is a interesting old cemetery. I would like to see more on this place.
Revisit this location. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and exploration.
I live in Delaware county pa.five minutes from Philly airport we have always called them groundhogs .i planted a pear tree in the front yard 10! Years ago and have had one living by the front of my house for like two years living off all the pears on the ground..pretty cool guy.im right on the Delaware river by the lazaratto building surrounded by John Heinz wildlife refuge .get turkey running around the neighborhood
As a history major, this video is super interesting and i enjoy all of your videos. So cool!
We moved from rural East Tennessee to metro Atlanta 4 years ago. I miss the sound of the trains that ran close to our house.
From the little 4-4-0s and wooden boxcars of the Civil War period to that CW44-6 and that ES40DC pulling 89' autoracks - that right of way has seen some railroad history!
I love your history lessons and the places you go.. fascinating!
The local police(not railroad police) will ticket people crossing, or even being near the CN tracks in the town I'm from. The reason they are even in the area ticketing people is because part of a conservation trail system comes right out onto CN property, and majority of the people aren't even aware they are breaking the law. They normally just give warning though. It mostly happens on high traffic days like holidays in the fall when everyone is out destroying the muddy trails.
Wow, I just realized your are in Martinsburg. Me too! Your videos are great, keep it up.
the cemetery is directly below the sewage treatment plant does that mean the bodies are in turd
LOL
Kevin Romas I see what you did there, lol.
😆😆😆😆😆LOL
Bdumm tish.
Kevin Romas
LMAO...Good one Kevin.
Wonderful video. Really enjoyed the cemetery.

makometal Yep, I live in good PA too. PA has rich history all over so its so fun to explore in. I love living here.
Ryan Schertrumpf
im right in plymouth meeting. moving to Barto in 5 weeks. Definitely a lot of history. What area are you i?
Up in Weatherly. Next to Hazelton and 15 minutes from Jim Thorpe. Small town but a lot of rich history.
You're pretty close to me. Only about 45 minutes away.

I have been going to jim thorpe for years. my father in law lived in beltzville. I use to fish mauh chung.....love the gravity railroad
LOVED your history lessons, am sharing this one two!
Chigg, I always enjoy your exploring videos. Thanks again for sharing.
I'm just getting into metal detecting,an live in a town that was basically a Confederate artillery camp.cant wait to get started!
I love going in old Graveyard,
Sad the lg trash is thrown in. Yes, magnet fishing sounds interesting, thanks for the History lesson too!
Great exploring vid and historical information.
Just finished the video. This looks awesome would like to see more like this
Yes, I'd love to see you go magnet fishing there Beau.
Love your videos. When my nephews were young, I used to walk with them around town, fishing, camping, etc. and anything shiny we would come across would be 'treasure!' hah! The town I live in was a coal mining town in SE Kansas. Lots of strip pits in the area, thus many places where they had temp mining camps. You just may inspire me yet to take up metal detecting. What an adventure!
Interesting piece of history, thank you.

Fascinating! Grateful for the info. I wonder if he married her because he knew he was dying. Maybe she discovered something unspeakable about him. I could speculate endlessly but hey, there must have been some reason she rejected him so soundly. How did you discover that little tidbit?
That was interesting. Thanks for sharing it.
I liked the vermin definitions, LOL! We call them "woodchucks". Looking forward to making a trip down to the Virginias next March. Love the videos.
Thanks for your videos buddy....
Very interesting. I like to go exploring like you do. Great video.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel, I've always loved American history but I've never owned a detector. I have found a bunch of Indian pottery in creeks from the creek Indians who inhabited my area in Georgia. Now I'm very interested in metal detecting. Thank you for the awesome videos. You remind me of me as a kid romping around the woods all day on a never ending adventure. Stay young.
I have to say i like the long informative videos. Please keep it up.
autoracks and mixed freight! my favorite!
The wall is the keep coffins from "migrating" underground and popping out of problem areas in the hill side. Happened once in my home town in Alabama.
There's an old cemetery near me by the river. Its kinda side the state of things eroding and sliding down hill.
I found a structure similar to the second mausoleum built into the side of a hill at a cemetery near me. Turns out its where the grounds keepers throw all the flowers and gifts people leave behind on the headstones
I especially enjoy your longer metal detecting videos, chigg.
I love the ground hog holes I found 1848 beer bottle from 1 of the brewerys in harpers ferry at a location in harpers ferry only the 2nd intact one I was able to locate anywhere
YES, go back to that spot and magnet fish. Groundhog holes too, please. Nice LONG video, loved it.
I went to Stonewall Jackson high school in Manassas VA.. learn something everyday..
