Hi I have been a fan and subcribed for some time now. I think your chanel is one of the best on RUclips and a benchmark for other chanels to aspire to. I give lectures on the American Civil War and early modern history as well as living History and reenactment. I would love to see some content on the Salem witch trials, or on how reeactmet and living History is a way of keeping History alive and understanding the past. I am also a preacher for or the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and a chaplain friend keeps inviting me to NC. I would love to see Gettysburg some and think your partnership with the Gettsburg museum is fantastic, I would love to see it some day. I wish you all the best in your work in Poland and I am also excited about the content that you are posting from there. Keep doing the great job that you are doing. PS. do you have any merchandise for sale? God bless, Oscar
Thank you again for visiting the Grant County Museum! We truly appreciate your support. Keep up the great work, as your channel is absolutely fascinating!
Ive said it before, I'll say it again. This channel and the Gettysburg museum videos need to be required curriculum viewing for every classroom in this country. Well done Gents, OUTSTANDING CONTENT.
What are the chances that the Union soldier when he was crossing that river got his belt or something caught up on a log or something in the water and took that knife out to cut his belt or whatever to set himself free to get away. Which could explain why the bullets and belt and those other items were found right there? Maybe he dropped the knife to or maybe he got shot and passed away right there in that river
This is sooo COOL!! Metal detecting a battlefield has been on my bucket list ever since my Dad took me to Little Bighorn Battlefield when I was 8 years old. I'm now 40 and living vicariously through you, JD. Thanks for the excellent content, keep em comin!!
JD, your stuff is absolutely incredible. I'm not afraid to express the fact that I am an extremely jealous man. Your ability to find, examine, research and share history is extraordinary. Thank you for letting us participate.
@@TheHistoryUnderground thanks again. Please let me know if my comment above about metal detecting is interesting to you. It’s a very significant thing historically
I know I’m late to the party. But I would like to say congrats on your first Civil War relic. Being the first person to hold a relic after it was lost by a soldier almost 160 years ago is a feeling that never gets old. Congrats again !!
What a fun episode. My grandfather went to an event in Gettysburg in the 1930s. He saw a field that had been recently plowed and went into the furrows and found about 8 minie balls (the pointy three ringed kind) which he kept in his roll top desk. He would get them out from time to time to show us. After hearing that I always thought how much fun it would be to go digging like this with a metal detector near a battlefield. And according to your episode today, it is indeed fun. Any kid or adult who likes history would really get into this. When you expose a child or teen to close-up history like this it changes them in a profound way. I grew up during the 1960s when America was going Civil War centennial crazy and our parents took us on summer trips to various Virginia battlefields We went to Gettysburg on a school field trip but my parents also took us there. Another summer we drove to Canada and stopped at Fort Ticonderoga for an even earlier stop with history. Kids who grow up in the New England or mid-Atlantic states have so many sites and historical places of interest to visit if only their parents will take the time to take them there. It's a great way to get your kids hooked on history and off social media (unless they are on google researching historic sites!) This was an excellent episode. Thanks so much. I hope you got a new pair of boots!
Fascinating! Finding that six pounder and especially your first Civil War bullet knowing that the soldier who carried it was the last to have it before it found it's way into your hand, special. Great work JD.
A big hi from Northern Ireland, another amazing episode. I really love everything that you do on RUclips. Have you ever thought of coming to Ireland to look at some of our history. I live near to the historic walled city of Derry/Londonderry and I think that you would love it here. History is not just the only passion that we share, I am an accredited preacher of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and my faith is very important to me as well. I study Civil War History at Ulster University and my planed dissertation will be on how Robert E. Lee's faith and honour code and how it shaped his life and the way that he fought the war. Please keep doing what you do so well, I have a chaplain friend in NC who keeps asking me to come over to the US, but your show allows me to see places that I may not otherwise never see. Kind regards, Oscar
The Civil War as it says in the name was an American affair but also had an impact around the world. The end of the war led to a crash in the cost of cotton leading to peasant revolts in India and threatening the British rule. History never fails to amaze
Discoveries like these bring a real sense of immediacy to history. A great-great grandfather of mine, Jacob Farnsworth, served with a regiment, the 36th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, that fought at Jenkins' Ferry. Thanks for sharing the video.
That’s so amazing!! Gosh, I love History! Thank you so very much for taking us along. Thank you,as well, for not taking sides in this, as I love all Americans!✌️
Hi from the UK, I sometimes find that some history programmes are interesting but not gripping, the thing I find with your pod casts is your enthusiasm comes through as with my favourite history programmes here in UK, you say your just a guy with a camera but I find you lift interesting to a higher level, keep doing what you do👍
JD, I am so glad I found you!! You are definitely one of my favorite explorers because you bring us along on so many exciting adventures. I really love history!!! Thank You
This is amazing to see these items just left there for over 150 years just to be discovered by you guys. That is true history. One of my favorite videos of yours!
Very cool 👍 I'm glad you finally got to detect a bit. It's always amazing to pull something out of the ground that you know was dropped so long ago. Makes it more personal.
Possibly the best channel on RUclips. Love the history and your ability to tell the stories and help us visualize how everything went down from the Civil War to ww2 and even your trip to Ukraine to help the refugees. You're a great man.
I recently discovered I had an ancestor in the 33rd Iowa Infantry, wounded at Jenkin's Ferry. I've watched this before but had to come watch again now with that personal tie. Keep up the great work, J.D.!
I haven't had the opportunity to comment on your videos from your time volunteering to help the brave people of Ukraine but I want to commend you and thank you for your and your family's efforts to help deal with the darkness of totalitarianism that has once again fell over the Eastern part of Europe. A return to the "more distant past" is a welcome diversion but not something that takes away our continued support of free people in Eastern Europe and elsewhere still fighting those that would subdue them. God bless you.
Awesome video! I grew up in Wetumpka Alabama and we dug up artifacts constantly in our back yard. Arrow heads, pottery, round balls, buttons, pieces of a peace pipe… we even dug up a stone doll that was hand carved. it was always a good time when we got to play outside!
Wow! What a great adventure! I love your thinking, "just think, the last person..." I catch myself saying that a lot. Thanks for the continued adventures!
It’s so amazing the history that still in the ground. It just takes some research knowledge a little luck and permission to go on these battlefields. Most of them are closed to the public especially for digging relics. You’re very lucky to be able to have someone let you guys go on their property.
Great job. Love seeing the actual artifacts where they laid during the battle. So interesting. I got injured at work, so I’ll be home a lot…. Keep the videos coming……
Just to think, The Last Human to hold that canon ball was the Union or Confederate Soldier who loaded it into a canon over 150 years ago.. That is truly Awesome!!!
Love this vid. Amazing how Brandon found all that stuff in the water and mud. Even the leather looks new. Wow! Also love the contents of the Grant Co. Museum.
This channel is so incredible. Thank you for all of the adventure and amazing historical content. The music for all videos fits perfectly with the subject matter. Kudos, well done.
Loved your Normandy series. Loved that you helped out in the Ukraine. But my best episodes are the ones stateside. Great to see you back JD. Awesome job!
Wow Awesomeness Thanks so much for bringing us along Thank you for you’re time His finds amazing Like you said the last time it was touched History !!!
Well now you’ve gotten to the fun part. Search coils on the ground and did you all find some cool stuff. Man I am jeal…. ous! What an awesome day. Congratulations.
I am a huge civil war buff I went to Gettysburg on my honeymoon. I also have been to Appomattox. Unfortunately due to multiple back surgeries & a foot & ankle that needs reconstruction those days are over for me. I would love to metal detect a battlefield but since that can't be I'm so happy to go along with you. Thanks for an excellent video
I am just floored! Finding relics is absolutely what I love about history! What I wouldn’t give to have been out there with you. Out here in Hawaii, there are a lot of archaeological finds but it’s so difficult since Hawaiians never used metal ammunition or weapons. This was your best video to date in my opinion. Keep up your amazing content brother!
I have never been into metal detecting videos.... you're sending me down another rabbit hole! I thought the metal detecting in Normandy video was cool- but this took the cake! Holy cow!! I vote for more of these types of videos every now and again!
JD you hit this one out of the park! Nicely done! Loved the finds from Diggin on Faith! Then to find that 6 pounder! whoa! Loved you were able to search and find a 3 ring shot, how cool! Now I have the itch to go metal detecting !!! Legally of course! Thank you for the video!
Artifacts that are that well preserved after 150 years is amazing, hope the original owners survived 👏 the War. And led good productive lives afterwards 👏
Love this! I just bought 5 acres right behind the battle of trevillian station. I’ve looked at old maps and us cavalry fought on my property! Keep the great work up.
I am a member of the metal detecting community. I was fortunate to get to see the things that Brandon pulled out of that water last February when we were in Florida. I also remember the first 3 ringer that I found. I just stood there staring at it, wondering about the man that dropped it. How horrible it must have been to be hit by one and to shoot it at another person. I was very surprised how heavy it was. Very surreal moment for me. Wonderful video guys‼️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love your videos JD. Very well Presented with great stories. I particularly like your Civil War coverage and hope to see more. From Canada but love American history. Great work!
JD time after time you make a home run. This was a great watch but for me the letter written by William Colborne was outstanding as it showed the somber love one can have for others even when facing certain death, amazing. Thanks to you and your team.....
Well done J.D. Good on ya. It was a real pleasure to be with you, Brandon, Jennifer and Meigs while you filmed this episode. Your story telling, music selection and completed video are incredible. I hope I get a chance to work with you some time in the future. All the best to you and keep up the great work.
This was a really awesome video, I have always wanted to go on a dig like that. Congrats on your first relic. I can only imagine how incredible of a feeling that is, to dig that up! 🇺🇲
It is so interesting that the roads carved so deep in the ground. The same with Oregon trail & trail of tears etc. You can see paths that were made a hundred + yrs ago. I can't imagine the amount of mud and dust that was stirred up to create those type of deep earth scars.
As a Brit I dont know much about the American Civil War but it really does interest me a great deal and I have to say that this video was fantastic so thank you...
Even near death the letter from the dying soldier was really touching. Was it his writing and if it was it was beautifully written. I will hold my hands up my writing changes from minute to minute J.D.
Man, metal detecting makes me wish I wasn't in a wheelchair so bad! So many cool things just beneath our feet! My metallic butt would wind up digging a six foot hole before I realized the detector was picking up my wheelchair 😖
I always enjoy your videos. Your metal detecting In Arkansas reminded me of a boot that I stumbled across several years ago, "Life in the Confederate Army" by William Watson. It is a first hand account of a Scottish citizen who took up the Confederate cause. It gives a lot if insight into what lead up to the war and why some people who were not pro-slavery served the Confederate side. He served in Arkansas in many battles and if my memory serves me correctly, eventually moved back to Scotland after the war.
Imagine the history that is still just laying on and just below the ground. Unmarked graves. Money. Weapons. Still just out there. It’s crazy. That’s why I love walking the battlefields. The feeling you get being there. Seeing how it happened. I’m here right now. My 1st time here. Small, but cool. The good stuff is on private land. But still cool. 10/1/23 rip Deo Vindice
What amazing finds. JD I am convinced you brought them serious good luck that day. Sitting here watching this video and having a great time but can't help but feel big time jelly. Was very cool he gave you that first find round ball. Great vid man!

Thanks. That 6 pounder was cool as heck.
was it in the same area he found the ammo pouch and other things ? kinda makes you wonder if maybe the soldier was killed by that right there .
@@andreguillette6293 most likely it's his body that preserved the leather artifacts and the wooden ones too
The size of that round ball, and Minnie balls that are found are horrifying in their size. Terrible wounds!

EXCITING !! William H. Colborne's letter is truly poignant. Congratulations again for your first discovery of this rifle bullet. Alan from France.
Thanks! And yes, that letter is something else.
Just discovered that he's a distant relative of mine!
Fascinating and too much fun 😀

Ain't going to lie, the letter from the soldier to his family inexplicably shook me up w bit.

That knife could have been the very one used to carve JW in the cartridge box? Cool thought
I thought about that later. It's certainly plausible.
@@TheHistoryUnderground a feast for the imagination to be sure!
It was in the same hole as the cartridge box, so I’m 100% certain it would have been his pocket knife. No coincidence. 😬
@@digginonfaith531 very cool!

👍🏻
Loved this video, makes you wonder what the men thought while fighting for their lives.
Very cool video!!
As for the boots...duct tape inside, Flex Seal on the outside...BOOM...waterproof boots.
👍🏻
Has to be actual Duct tape. He had Gorilla tape, which is inferior
Quite the metal detecting adventure. Congrats on your finds. Keep on looking.
Thanks 👍
Even near death the letter from the dying soldier was really touching. Was it his writing and if it was it was beautifully written. I will hold my hands up my writing changes from minute to minute J.D.
The accompanying music is so haunting
Fantastic video JD thanks for all the hard work. Stay safe.
Thanks 👍
Man, metal detecting makes me wish I wasn't in a wheelchair so bad! So many cool things just beneath our feet! My metallic butt would wind up digging a six foot hole before I realized the detector was picking up my wheelchair 😖
😅
The Battle of Jenkins Ferry videos have been fascinating! The museum artifacts, especially the letter was very cool! Love the Digging on Faith videos!
Yeah, that letter is something else. And Diggin on Faith is a great channel.
Wow! I was really impressed with the museum and the finds in and near the slough! Great stuff!
Yeah, that museum is awesome.
That battle hook is freakn cool dark bur cool piece!!!
That letter was amazing
I always enjoy your videos. Your metal detecting In Arkansas reminded me of a boot that I stumbled across several years ago, "Life in the Confederate Army" by William Watson. It is a first hand account of a Scottish citizen who took up the Confederate cause. It gives a lot if insight into what lead up to the war and why some people who were not pro-slavery served the Confederate side. He served in Arkansas in many battles and if my memory serves me correctly, eventually moved back to Scotland after the war.
Interesting.
Great video JD. Your next channel. Should be a metal detections channel. Love this kind of stuff. Thank you Frank from montana. ......
Thanks! I'll leave the metal detecting to the professionals and just bounce in every once in awhile.
Imagine the history that is still just laying on and just below the ground. Unmarked graves. Money. Weapons. Still just out there. It’s crazy. That’s why I love walking the battlefields. The feeling you get being there. Seeing how it happened. I’m here right now. My 1st time here. Small, but cool. The good stuff is on private land. But still cool. 10/1/23 rip
