Kevin, that has to be one of the reasons God put it upon your heart to buy those two properties. He knew you would preserve those things and take care of them. If that well still has water in it after all these years it must be tied to a spring. I would dearly love to hear you do like a documentary on the history of that land someday. This is an awesome find and I'm so glad it was you that found it.
Looks like a hand dug well! You might want to put a pump in it and pump it out, let it refill, and then take the water sample or take a sample, then pump it out and take another sample.
How fun, Kevin. Come on, viewers. Subscribe! Let's get Kevin & Rachel to 500,000 subscribers. They deserve it! I cant wait for your video of more history of your property!!
You're the best!
Yessssss 🎉🎉🎉
Wow this is so exciting for you guys cant wait to see what else you find
That property is just full of history!! Great find!!
And _beautiful._
For sure
Hi, Kevin! I am an 80 year old female, who dowsed 2 wells, without sticks. I simply walked around our property, and kept coming back to one specific area. Told my partner to mark this spot. When the well driller came the next day, he hit water at 6 inches. By the time he was done, he estimated we had 80 gallons/minute (yes, per minute,). The water came out so fast, he could only estimate the amount of flow, based on his years of experience. When we needed a well drilled on the farm, I walked around again, and settled on a spot. Didn’t have the spectacular results of the first well, but we had enough good, clear water to water a market garden, and a small 40 tree orchard. Haven’t done any dowsing since then, but it was like I could feel the water underground.
That is awesome, what a special gift.
That's a gift right there. You IS the dowsing rod!👍
Sound like you maybe be Native American.
Lots of natural talent.
And a God given Blessing too🕊️🙏
🤗👍🏻👵🏻
@@donnahughes4652 My late husband's grandmother and uncle were dowsers also. His grandmother was a full blood Cherokee.
@leecarlson
That's a cool gift to have and enjoying the outcome of finding water. As you could feel the water running under your feet, a relative of my mother's put on his shoes and felt something in one of them. He took that shoe off and found a humane hair inside. They must have been some sensitive feet. 😁
Kevin, when I was a girl we had a farm and my oldest brother was a teenager and he and my dad dug our well that we drank from. My dad dug it as deep as he could, and then he put my brother down in the hole and lowered a bucket down on a rope to him and he would fill the bucket full of dirt and my dad would haul it out. When the hole started filling with water, my brother put his foot in the bucket and my dad pulled him out. So yes, two men could dig a well. Back in the old days men were very tough and so were women for that matter. We have all the modern conveniences now so I don’t believe we’re tough as we used to be. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Great video. Really enjoying these videos. Thank you for your time. Really interesting to watch everything unfold! Blessings from OKC
That was a very cool story,,nope people are soft today not like before I agree😊
GLOVES & Snake boots. I know it's hot, I am in Texas. But safety
Yes !! Definitely not crocks ,lol
Hi what part of Texas are you in ?I am Tina Marie in Fort Worth Texas
I agree!! Kevin, Be safe think smart and work smart.
Your a husband, father, son.
also if I remember you have diabetes.
May be the Cherokee?
My husband had diabetes and was 3/4 Cherokee from East Tennessee in Appalachia. (Both. his Dad & Mom sides had Cherokee)
His Great Great Grandfather who was Col., and fought in Over The Mountain (North Carolina) War. So much History in Southern States..
( Elizabethton, Tennessee- Carter County) Sycamore Shoals Historical Park. They do reenactments. In Summer outdoor theatre.
We both loved history.
God Bless and pray you find out all the history for your new property. Love watch you and family finding treasures!
🕊️🙏💜🤗👍🏻👵🏻
YES!
I'm in Louisiana, 25 miles from the Texas line. It's hot here, but it's better to be hot than dead.
Yup, agree with the last comment… pump it out first, because the water sitting in there is stagnant. I’d pump it out 3-4 times and then have the water sampled.
You are creating the history of what you do that 300 yrs from now your relatives will watch. Mind-blowing when I think about it!
I love the history on this property. I'm sure that well is over 100yrs old. I can't wait until you find out more to tell us. So cool.
No, Kevin, we haven’t noticed! 🤣
Seriously though, I learn a lot from you, I’m just pulling your chain. The well is really cool, I can’t wait to see what you find out about it. Love you guys! ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
My son lives in Oklahoma and he has an oil well on the back of the property. He can’t run the well but if he does the money goes to the Cherokees. I think that’s cool.
What a history lesson. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved it
I bet they added a pump in 1940 and before that they use the old hand and rope bucket. I have a feeling the well was much deeper also.
I remember pulling the rope and oak bucket from my aunt and uncles's place back in the late 1940s and early 50s.
Very well could be
We had a smoke house on our farm in Ohio. It had large hanging hooks to hang meat on and a fire pit in preserve m iddle of the building to make the smoke. The hams and whatever was salted well and hung on the hooks to preserve. We also had a well with rock lining and it had a bucket on a chain to let down to get the water and a hand crank to draw the water bucket back up. It all still stands, the farm was built in 1875. There is a cemetery where the first owners are buried.
You truly are a wonderful teacher.
Kevin, you are so proud of your Cherokee heritage. I wish you would tell us more about it. I am just a second generation American and my family is very small, on both my Mom and my Dad's side. It would take me to the end of time to find out about my family ancestry/history. Have a great day! ... Vicki ❤
You would be surprised how much family history you can out with a DNA test - Ancestry is the best.
@@lindafranke8143 I wanted to respond to you last night, but got distracted... I'm leary about Ancestry. The last time I was on their website, I saw people who were supposedly related to me and no one in my family knew any of the people or names listed. And oddly my sister wasn't even on there. 🤷 I haven't been back to their site since... Vicki
I love the way you give out the historical facts and how much knowledge you have about your property and your family history. I really look forward to learning it all.Thank you for sharing and caring about the history of all of it.❤❤
Love that you try to preserve history
The last Cherokee removal was the year I was born which was 1952 and it was further scattering Cherokee to California.
💔💔💔
If you had a well, and get it up and running, and then a septic system, WOW! What a history of that property. Absolutely if you can get it all checked at the court house and lab on the water, do it and keep us informed. Love the history of it all.
I can witch for water. I bet it is a salt water well. My aunt was of the Osage Tribe. She was born in the late 1920’s. I always wanted to know about all Indian tribes in that area. You and your wife are blessed by being part of our history of the first people of this continent.😊❤
Yup that square was for the Pump before the Pump was a Drop bucket type !:they put the hand pump in later ! We had one just like it under our front porch up in N.Y. !
Now watch out for that septic tank because I bet you anything it's made out of metal and probably very porous. !
I had a old septic tank come up to the surface in my backyard in a previous house I owned. The area had drought conditions for a few years and anything that was in the tank dried up. I was very close to Lake Erie and the soil was sand ,clay and shale beneath the a few feet of topsoil. When sewer and public water was installed in the 60's wells were supposed to be filled and septic tanks and systems were supposed to be removed. Many people slipped inspectors cash to overlook these requirements because it was the responsibility of the property owners. I sold the property and disclosed the tank issue to the buyer. As far as I know he never had the tank removed but filled it with busted up concrete instead.
Im sure that well is over 100 years old. That's an awesome find. I love it when you say "No way" When i was a kid, i watched the well driller use a green branch from a tree on our property for dowsing. He found water and over 50 years later that well is still providing water. I love that youknow the history of the property.
Awesomeness Kevin! I’m invested in the research you find out about the property. If you get a red solo cup tie string at 4 points, it should work out just great. Tell Rachel I said “Hi!” Later, Doc
Good idea
That might have been a vein coming in through there from the river down there. Now if you do that water with a cup and see that it's really really cold then you've got an artesian well there. But yeah I would have it tested for sure. !
They have a spring coming off their first side of the property!!
Would love to hear more history about the place
I've dug several wells some 4ft 35 ft deep my dad and uncle dug one 85 ft deep . At 85 ft dad was digging when he fell through the bottom into an underground river grabbed the sides of the hoist barrel uncle Stan hoisted him up with hand winch . Next morning water was 12 ft from the top
That well is located 1/2 mile south of Kelvington Saskatchewan Canada
Whoa your dad's blessed to live through that
Also, Kevin, you're talking about the old salt wells....the name of your little town is Salina....maybe they took it from the word Saline for salt.
I would like to see more Video updates of the lake property I like the History, history. T you ben find ingredients I would like to see more updates videos of the new property as well
This is interesting. I can’t wait for the next part.
We have several old hand dug wells like that on our farm in N.E. GA.. My family has owned this farm since the early 1800's. We also have old Gold Mines too. There is a Gold Nugget on display in the Capitol in Atlanta, GA that came from one of our Gold Mine holes.
My parents had a hand dug well lined with rock , it helped keep the soil from eroding as well if you had to do maintenance on the pump it was made it easier to climb down to repair it .
My grandparents had a honey locust tree. My horse must’ve rubbed against it. I pulled out a thorn that looked like a toothpick. Told my papaw and he said to put some coal oil on it.
Oh wow! When you pulled out that hunk of a root ball, I was gruntin' and rooting for you. I was twisting trying to help😂😂😂, so intense. It's like pulling a big ol' tooth!!! 😂😂😂😂. Loved the history. You do have a tendency to talk a bit. But, I so enjoyed this episode. Please subscribe everyone. Love watching the transformation your showing.
You should get in touch with Evan at Country View Acres. He found the same thing. Thats so cool
When I heard the scraping, I was so afraid that it might have been an old grave marker. But what a cool find! I'm excited to hear the history of that property.
Before you burn anything please make sure there's no Critters living in there❤❤
If you burn right they get time to leave.
Great video. Kevin you are so good with the Kubota. Very interesting, look forward to learning more of what you find out. You and Rachel are looking so good. You looked nice before as well. Whatever your doing on your health journey is working. I could use some tips. Love your channel.
Back 60 yrs ago my parents bought a farm that had a newer house but the owners were old and didn’t have plumbing other than hand pumps for water. This, with the way the hole is shaped and the bolt holes looks like a hand pump where they went to draw drinking water for the house and livestock.
Kevin why in the world do you not wear boots and gloves??? Crocks?? Really? Please wear some protection when you are doing heavy duty work. Great info on the history of your property. Im part Cherokee too and found this amazing!
My grandfather’s family went on the Trail of Tears. My great-great grandmother took him and his sister and brothers and kept them on the Cherokee Reservation in Cherokee, North Carolina. In West Columbia, South Carolina they have a marker that says the Trial of Tears thru that area. Very interesting Native American history.
My dad was a water Witcher many years ago. He could tell them how deep it was down.
A few years ago we had a water leak outside of our house. So I'm the process of digging to find where it was coming from and they found a water well in our side yard. It was 39 feet deep. We live in town so that was crazy to find this in our front yard. It was also lined with rocks like yours and toward the top it had bricks lining it. So interesting.
The square hole in the top is for a pitcher pump. The bolt holes are where they mounted it.
❤Love history of areas and land. Especially the later 17 hundreds and 18 hundreds. Thank you.
Kevin, use a mason jar (canning jar) and tie some twine below the rim, and make a handle with the twine (like a glass bucket jar) and then tie a long string to get it down the hole.
I'm excited to see what you find out about the well. Check old plats it should be on them. Also can't wait to learn more about your property's history.
The Glass could break .
I am a history lover! That would be SUPER COOL if you do come across some adaptable historical useful things! Wouldn't it be really cool to come across gold or diamonds?!😂l😂VERY Interesting ❤❤Good Luck! Look forward to seeing you again!❤❤❤
I think you should pump it out and let it refill and then test the water. Might be a place to put a hand pump to wash off, maybe a shower house and or a place to clean fish.
It truly is amazing what you can uncover once you start digging on these properties, great find on that Well 👏 it was definitely built to last 😊
It really is!
Good Evening Kevin & Rachel! I love watching you unearth the amazing items you find on the property. Hope Kaleb & Kyah are having a wonderful start to their new school year!❤
Discovering antiquities! Thanks for bring us into your history classroom!
Hi Kevin what a find, a well, no it's not going to be super clean water it will need to be pumped for a bit to get the trash out of it. GET A PLUNGER FOR A WELL So you can put it down in the well!!! You are just very excited !! LOL God bless you and until next time stay safe
If you go digging down where that well is you're going to find that it's got all rock all the way down through it was hand Doug and placed with rock wall !
As soon as i saw the square hole, i knew what it was. We owned an 1822 house and discovered a well, half under kitchen half outside. It had a sq hole outside. We put a picther pump on outside and a place to attach a hose. It was so cool. Ours was 28 ft deep and 4 ft wide.
Put a hand, pitcher pump, and have water tested. You may have drinking water or at least water to wash hands.
Wow! This property just keeps on giving. Can’t wait to see what’s next. What a blessing.
Kevin, you are amazing! Hard working and gifted! Kudos to you, Rachel and the kiddos!😘
Wow, cool find and history lesson. You are a very knowledgeable man. Awesome
I cant wait for you to tell us what the well contains. I love history like this.
Kevin I love history and hearing you tell the history of your property is so interesting. I can’t wait to hear how the water test turns out . I hoe you continue to tell us more. Watching from Northeast Texas.
I think you should be wearing ear protection when operating all your heavy machinery and even mowing. Your seventies will come before you know it and that is when you will notice hearing damage, if not before.
I totally agree. It doesn't hurt to be safe. I'm 83 and am hearing impaired. Not from heavy equipment but from loud Rock and Roll music.
That looks like the well that was on my mother's property. Hand dug in the late 1870's, the water was nasty but some old timers told me that the more we used it the water would clear up and flow better. I started watering the pasture with it and the water did get better.
The Adventure of Kevin continues! Fun find! Looking forward to hearing what the history is of this discovery. Best wishes from northern Illinois.
Looks like an old pump well my Grandparents had out in the country. Had a cistern in the basement held rainwater for washing up. But had a pump well for drinking water. Aunt and uncle had a well like that on their farm in north central Wisconsin had a wind mill thing attached until they got electric to water the cattle. So maybe one they had a wind pump on to draw water up. Cool find. 👍😊
My dad built the first rental cabins on Grand lake and they looked a lot like that.
Really that's interesting
@@HiddenHeightsFarm Langley or Disney. I'm 71 and I remember seeing what was left. He had a store and then just maybe four or five cabins that were Rock cabins that just looked like they would be one room like a motel. The store and one of the cabins was still standing in my lifetime and someone had put up a sign on the store that said Brownies. He is part Cherokee. He also laid a water line over there that is supposedly the first one, but who knows.
@@lostribe5130 awesome, we are in that area all the time.
@@HiddenHeightsFarm I was there some every year.
@@HiddenHeightsFarm is store and cabins were right on the main part of the lake so I think that would be the north side. They were not on the other side of the road like most of the other commerce that came later.
Old hand pump well that would explain the square cement and holes in concrete
love History, just your liking as ours 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Kevin what an incredible find. I wouldn't be able to guess how old it is. Looking forward to seeing what you find out about it.xxx😊😊
I bet the dug well , turns out to be an un limited supply of water. Probably at riverlevel and the water is filter through the soil
Excellent. Find. Worth real money
That actually was very interesting. Please do come back with the history of the land. And you might find out how old that well actually is. Very curious.
You could make! He chimney area a covered cook camp site and use chimney as a cook out are maybe?! Do your magic build !❤😂❤
Kevin, i knew when you found the lid, that's what you found! That's awesome! That's probably a hand dug well. If it is you will have the best water around! What a blessing!
Kevin, back in the 70's my grandfather had a house with a well, that had to pumped by hand or use the windmill. He had no running water in the house but, he did have a horse troth in the attack and a pipe that ran underground, we would pump and he would bang on the roof to let us know it was full. His water in the sinks and toilet were gravity feed.
Oh WOW!! Kevin that's awesome!
There's no telling just what you might find.
Love the history lesson on the Cherokee. More people should know what happened & how , where they lived & survived.
I'm Cherokee on both sides of my family. Ive tried to teach my kids & grandkids.
Can't wait to see what other new treasures you find!!
Blessings, Love & Hugs 🙏🙏🌹
Love 🌻 from Apex NC 💜
Please pursue this!!! I am fascinated by things like this.
Love to yall. 💖💖💖💖
You’re always full of surprises and I love it
That is so cool. Like a secret treasure, just waiting for you to find it. I love stuff like this.😊
WOW, Nice find.
I sure hope You have a good metal detector, Just think of what you can find..
That's a Well ❗
Great find. Yes get it tested. I love history. Try to find out more like you said. Its a trasure and if its a good well it will be wonderful.
Fastening find and history! Don't hesitate to share, really enjoy listening to you!! Thank you for sharing your history and wisdom❣
Thank you for this video!
It is very helpful to get more of the history on the area as I am looking at buying property up there. There is a 9 acre lot that is right on the lake that I really like. Unfortunately, there is a flowage easement issue that may prevent me from putting a tiny house on it.
Hi Kevin, You’ll have to ask your nephew or was it your cousin and his crew to come back and put a pipe fence up along the extended property to match the original lakeside property. 😊😊😊. The lake will stop the salt if it was a salt mine which I very much doubt I reckon it was a fresh water well for the house as it would be closer than the spring which could be contaminated by animal excrement etc so they dug the well to get consistent fresh salt and originally it probably had a wall around it with a bucket on a turn handle to lower /lift the bucket of water and then the wall got in disrepair so the owner in 1940 modernised the wellhead with concrete cap with a pump up top of the concrete and they either filled buckets via the pump or they fitted an electric pump over the hole and pumped water into the house and this will be when they fitted the septic tank as well to tie in with the pumped water.😊😊😊
I am looking forward to seeing you doing your metal detecting and a bit of magnet fishing in the well😅😅😅😊😊😊hope it soon as I love finding out the history behind a place and you’ve really been building your lakeside property up in fact if you find a fair bit you could put a display on in the stone hut boat house for us to look at in a video or two. 😊😊😊
Kevin you always find interesting things on that land. I can't wait tell you find out more information on that old well. We'll be looking for it. Good job. 💪👍❤❤❤
Love the history of your properties ❤
Watching you working on cleanup is so relaxing ❤❤❤
That well is awesome you might have just found some cool history. Kevin you should check the National registry your land might be Historic.
Kevin, I'm also part Cherokee Indian. And I have witched some very good Wells when I was younger but I'm almost 62 now and I haven't done that in years but I believe if my memories serve me right that I found a total of five different Wells and four of them were very very very deep. And them four are still going today. And YEAH My grandmother on my momma's side her grandfather was a chief of the Cherokee tribe, in upper state New York.... thank you for sharing this with Us..... God Bless.
That is interesting about your dad
Nice to find little bits of history on your own land. Great video most entertaining thanks. Chris from England
Hi Kevin that is great. I think it is well over 100 years old.
Cool find Hopefully it's a good water well. That tractor grapple is worth its weight in gold in how much you can do with it, sure does save a lot of back work there. Can't wait until you find out more info on it.
You can water the Pasture or whatever there is on the Property, from the water there if it enough to supply water..... Good find..
I could watch you over and over working your land!
I keep saying that property is hidden heights hideaway❗ because you never know what your going to find on that property there was a well hidden and you uncovered it 😁 MUCH LOVE 💖 AND RESPECT 🙏🏻 GOD BLESS
That brush/dead tree's pile is going to make an awesome bonfire. Look forward to that video. Good job on the clean up. Hope you find an answer about the well.
Kevin please Wear boots...your gonna hurt yourself...❤be safe
I love seeing you explore your land and hearing the history of it. It would be great if the well is usable! Keep us updated. I bet late 1800’s or early 1900’s. ❤❤
Salt = Saline. Salina makes sense!! Great find, fantastic history!!
Kevin please put on some boots 😮😮😮
So interesting. Lucky you for now owing the property and then to have found this old well. Keep up posted.
Get a vegetable can and clean it out good and put string on each side and drop it down and get water.
Kevin I sure do like the history of your property and this is going to be interesting to find out. I do agree with the magnet as you never know what you will bring up. At least it's worth a try. I love history and this is fun. You might want to rake up the area where the stickers are so not to get in your tires. Awesome video. Love y'all
