  • A good friend and I got out hunting for an old mill that had been erased from history by mother nature. As we walked up on a massive hewed timber, we knew we were close.

    What's the name of that creek. Be willing to bet Grant or Sherman went through therr. There looks like a road that follows along that creek.

    • @deer123able

      I'm gonna try... if the landowner will let me.

    AN observation...in only 215 years most of the traces of humans in that area are almost gone. In another 1000 years there will be nothing to indicate that that area was ever inhabited.

  • @stevebrenner8503

    We found a grist mill stone in the creek on our property. But nobody knows of anything in the area.

    You need a better digging partner. Can’t believe Ricky wouldn’t pole vault over the creek. Lightweight
    Great location and beautiful day. Thanks for taking us along Jeff

    I've been down many creeks in southern ky and on the plateau around Cookeville, Tn and these old mill sites aren't too uncommon.
    Once when we were out hunting in S. Ky. we came across some old boards under the water. My grandfather, born 1905, said those boards and nothing else were there when he was a small boy. He said he only knew that an old mill once stood there.

    • @deer123able
      @deer123able  5 лет назад +1

      Wildcat they are common around here. I would love find one that hasn't been covered by 8 feet of trash.

    • @keithtyson9512
      @keithtyson9512 5 лет назад

      Thanks. I know that can be a touchy request. I like to walk the creek beds for points and agates. That looked like a neat place. The logs ware amazing. I agree, it is a shame to just let them go! I enjoy your videos. My son in law & daughter recently purchased 25 acres at the end of Beasley’s Bend on south side of the river in Hartsville. I have watched you dig artifacts from that battle. Have you ever been on the bend where Morgan crossed?

    • @deer123able
      @deer123able  5 лет назад +1

      Keith that's funny I was just trying to get permission to get the timbers out (No luck yet). Never have, but would love to.. working on the property on the north side now, it belongs to a farmer I know.

    • @keithtyson9512
      @keithtyson9512 5 лет назад

      TennesseeJeff just after I retired, I got an Infinium LS. I have not found anything but trash. I know very little about the machine and find it more difficult to use than expected. But I love to be outdoors doing just about anything. I was reading some of the history of that battle and his Calvary split and crossed the river to the north. There is a very short road on Beasley’s bend (I think it’s called Averitts Ferry). Do you know anything about that? Apparently that is also where the army was doing training for WWII.

  • @ErlefromVa
    @ErlefromVa 5 лет назад +4

    Great show Jeff, loved it down by the creek. That little overhangs should have some Native American artifacts. You guys need to drag a sifter up there and a few shovels and see what’s hiding in the shelter dirt onto the front lip and back wall would be great places to start

    • @deer123able
