Beautiful Jamestown
One of the first settlements in North America
No need to be embarrassed to share!! Your reaction shows your interest, respect and appreciation of the artifact and the site. Thank you for your work.
I didn’t know you had a live cam. I’ll check that out. No need to be embarrassed, your reaction was perfect at finding that rapier or sword! Brilliant and very exciting!! Mary
How Exciting!
I love to see someone excited by their job, especially a job that I would love to do myself.
Take a number. If I had an iota of I'd go there in a New York minute !
What a great discovery ~ I love the juxtaposition of him finding the dagger from the 1600's and seeing the cell phone on the shelf!
Well done!
Awesome! I subscribed. Cheers.
OH MY GOSH THAT IS SO EXCITING!!! These episodes have gotten me through years of horrific pain from an accident. My dream is to go there one day and watch you all bring back history one artifact at a time. I have chills! Cool Beans!
Cool!
Awesome
So cool
New subscriber here, I wasn't even aware of ongoing excavations. My head has been buried in overseas digs. I remember what came out of the mine shaft inside the original walls was astounding. From the looks of it, you're still finding extremely well (no pun intended) preserved remnants of our nation's origin. By the way, I was waiting for the embarrassing part in the video, but there was none. All I saw was a rather stoic moment of discovery. You are a very professional team.
I was waiting for the embarassing part too. Oh, what entertains us humans. Great find, though! What fun.
I'd love to see it after they cleaned it up!
LOVE this!
That's really exciting finding something like that. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations Dave et al.. That was a great find and continued great work!
What a great find. Wishing you the best of luck with your excavations. From western North Carolina many thanks.......
That well was pretty deep. was the land covered with that much dirt in 400 years
To put it in 1600 terms: "Wow: a dagger!"
Seems like a useful thing to throw down a well.
Looks like a Scottish Dirk
Ah, yes, the Jamestowne holey boi.
I wish I were you
A dagger. A hammer. A rapier. I saw a militay axe. A pistol. All these at the bottom of a well. It is almost as if someone (s) did not want these weapons to be found. Hmmmmmmmmm.
