Buried in that grave yard is my uncle, aunt, grandfather and great grandparents. My great grandmother Carolina was the first to be buried in the grave yard and was the one to pick the site. My great grandfather John D Tipton was a member of Col. George Kurt's 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry during the Civil War and one winter was cut off from their unit and was on foot. Their shoes were so worn out that they had to stuff leaves in their shoes to keep their feet warm. That's when they found Lost Cove. My father and his brothers and sisters were born and raised in the cove. I have been gong there since I was baby and my mother carried me on her hip. I have even road the train to Lost Cove with my grandmother. My grandmother was the first one to move out of the cove. Her house burned down in 1956 and she moved to Unaka Springs.Everett K Tipton
+Everett Tipton Everett, how amazing!!!! Which house did your Grandmother live in at Unaka Springs? I live in Unaka Springs now and care-take the old properties here. I also used to help Polly Bailey when she was living out here to get here groceries and such, she also lived in the cove for a period of time.
My grandmother is also buried there, she married G.W.Tipton, she was a Bailey, My father was raised in the Cove, and I am pretty sure he was born there, is name was Hillard Tipton. His Aunt(Carrie Tipton) and Uncle Chester lived in Unaka Springs, they were Baileys as well. The last time I was in there, 1986ish the Millers house was in very good shape.
Beau - what a fantastic video - AGAIN! You seriously should have a TV show doing what you do here - I could listen and watch you for hours. You are a complete natural in front of the camera. The more I watch the more I want to get a detector and go out into the countryside - alas (along with everything else) detecting in the UK is HIDEOUSLY regulated and we dont have anywhere near as many areas as you do in the states that are deserted/abandoned and ripe for exploration.
Wonderful travelogue; what beautiful country, Beau. I loved the natural features, the river, the flora, the rocks, etc. The miracle rock story of the "back to life" deceased girl, really touched me. Back in 1990, when I was a young adult, I moved to Sedona, Arizona. I was recovering from multiple health conditions. At first, I wasn't able to work, so I lived very frugally on limited savings. I spent as much time, as I could, hiking in the healing natural majestic red rocks. Being an urbanite, the serenity was so nurturing to me. I organically was drawn to lie for an hour at a time, on flat boulders/rock formation surfaces. I did what I could to make as much contact with the earth, with my body. I could feel something reviving me, in this practice I was intuitively drawn to. Nowadays, I've studied the incredible impact of being grounded, what is also called "earthing.". What an amazing & easy way to become back in balance. So the story of the girl seemingly healed by the rock, was powerful. My favorite part, was hearing about and seeing, all of the history. I could watch things like that, forever. I appreciated your passion for the exploration, of the ghost town. Does the train still run on those tracks? BTW, I saw many signs of Sasquatch habitat. Fascinating.
+Beau Ouimette LOL, I kind of thought the same thing. I sensed the train still ran, and I noticed no bail out space, either. BTW, I looked up the records on the tulip poplar tree. 200"= 5.08 meters. That is very big for the USA, as the two top girth sizes are 5.88 & 6.4m. In the UK, they have one 9.45m! Thanks for your reply. Glad you have that same connection to the earth :)
+Elaine Marie It makes you wonder how many people were buried alive when they were only in a coma! I guess a heartbeat isn't very noticeable when someone is in a coma, but you would think if the body didn't get cold, that would be a clue. When you are that far in the back country and get sick, there isn't much they can do for you quickly.
+Elaine Marie That tulip poplar must have gotten struck by lightning, or something snapped off its main trunk early in its life, for it to grow like that and branch out more like an oak tree. Tulip poplars typically grow straight up, very straight, and because of this, were used by the early settlers to build log cabins.
Wonderful video, Beau. Wish I had the breath to do such a hike and climb. I used to love this sort of thing. Appreciate your love of the past and terrific way of showing it. Area should be put on some sort of "protected land" list.
I did some research on the late Bonnie Miller, Your friend Chris wanna to know what happen to her from the video at 18:30 ... On her death certificate said she died from Tuberculosis Meningitis, other words she had TB...
Tuberculosis took many forms. There were some who got it in their lungs, some in their bloodstream , some in their bones. Tubular meningitis indicate that it go in the nervous system. It means an infection in the covering tissues of the brain a and nerve chord. She probably had a very high fever and coma after a lot of suffering. She was a in a bad way before she died.
Thank you for sharing this. My 91 yr old grandfather loves telling his grandfathers stories of the 1st time he ever see a car--it was that Model T getting off the train in Lost Cove.
Beautiful area all along the way. So much to see and always appreciate it when you share a bit of your wealth of knowledge. Great adventure that I will have to watch again!
This was really beautiful Beau, thank you for sharing it with us. Bonnie was such a young woman, just a girl really. Her stone and all we really know of her is very humbling as well as the surroundings where she rests.
Wow, what a cool video Beau.. Really enjoyed watching that on this wet and windy day in the UK. What a great adventure you had, some great info from Chris there too. Top video fella and thanks for uploading. All the best, Rich.
I love your chanel my mom says I watch it too much and that I'm addicted I told her at least I'm not addicted to drugs then I saw this one was posted so now I'm watching it.
My mom's family are In and around Floyd County KY. Every time I get the chance to travel from Texas to KY it feels like I'm going home. Beautiful place. Great video..
Very Very cool my friend. I so wish i was with you all. So much lost history. I love learning about this sort of thing, simple lives lived in a simpler time. Thank you so much Beau!! God bless my friend.
Beau, I love the way you LOOK at everything along the way, enjoying the trip as well as the destination.Like the bit about the rapids and the rocks.People used to scratch their heads at me when I would take a few scenics and then go in for closeup of a leaf or single bloom.If you can't enjoy the trip why go/
Awesome trip to Lost Cove Beau! Thanks to Chris and Cassie for being your well informed guides! Beautiful place, bet there is a nice still tucked away in there right close to the gutter pipe!
There are a few places like this here in Scott county Tennessee. We have a bad habit of burying the past. The town square sits on the location of Fort Huntsville, the coal towns of, Red Ash, Turly, and Royal Blue are gone. Elgin is a shadow of it's former self. This is one of the few things that bring a tear to my eye.
This was a fantastically interesting video. I watch your videos all the time, and I usually like it without making a comment...but this video really touched my heart as it is an echo of what life was like back at the time of the civil war. Very cool!!!!
There is an article posted on Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy website...posted 1/22/2013 titled; Lost Cove - Ghost town in the national forest.
Hey Chiggaman, you should venture on over to where I live in Coloma Northern California, where gold was first discoverd. There are amazing river's here that people are still finding lots of gold. Abandoned gold mines, old cemetery's are all over. many really cool things to explore and document!
The old schoolhouse on our place was used as a shotgun house by my great aunt and uncle. The interior walls were papered with the poor man's wall paper, news print. On the exterior walls it cut down on the draft of air blowing around the exterior clapboards. In my grandmother's house there was no insulation in the exterior walls and in a heavy winter wind you could see the proper wall paper and cheese cloth backing bow inward from the wind blowing against the house.
The thing I find most interesting is the flower holder, beside the tombstone. Someone would have to trek all that way just to provide flowers. I know i would for my daughter.
i just want to say, i do no detecting of any kind but i love the outdoors, and you make wonderful videos and every single one of them interests me! thanks for all your hard work, that you put in to make them! i hope to see many more to come! sam (Wales in the UK)
What a wonderful video. What do ya"ll Know about Muskies in the Carolina's? We grow em Big here in Michigan and over in Wisconsin and Minnesota. But they like cold water and ya"ll got warm water down your way. I just Love those Toothy Critters!
That is a massive poplar for sure. The "Davie Poplar" in Chapel Hill, named after Revolutionary War general and founder of the University of North Carolina, William Richardson Davie, is easily much larger. It still stands today on campus. My dad has visited Mt. Vernon, in Virginia, and stated that some of the Tulip Poplars there, planted by George Washington himself, are unimaginably massive. I love big old trees. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Awesome Place i see you heading back up there one day soon be a great place to detect i loove old places like that you can still feel life there i think id ride my 4 wheeler though if you could loved it Beau
awesome video. That river stream beautiful scenery .you should detect that pathway leading towards the old town bet you will find tons of stuff. and that river where you said its like seventy feet .if your allowed to do any of that detecting there.
About 15 miles east of lost cove is where I will be doing some exploring and detecting. a lot in part because of your videos and some others, I have gained a big interest into adventures like these
The grave stone of Bonnie Miller makes me think of the Dickey Betts composition for the Allman Brothers "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". The song was inspired by a Georgia grave stone.
Beautiful river! Interesting place to visit, its distressing that some people have to vandalize, destroy, burn things down, best rule is an old one, take only pictures, leave only footprints.
My brother and I were hiking in Ohio and came across an old graveyard. We went in to check out the headstones and found that everybody died (about 100-200 people in this graveyard) in the 1800's and the oldest person was only about 45 years old. People just didn't live long back then, sanitation wasn't as good, and diseases that are curable today could wipe out entire families.
Beautiful place, would love to camp there. Thanks for the gorgeous shots. I don't think the shot up truck was a Model T, probably quite a bit later. Anybody good at dating old trucks? My brother has been restoring T's since he was 16 and he is now 67. He has sold 4 of them to customers in England and around the world. He has two fully restored Touring cars at present and the price tag on one of them is $160,000.00 and he actually gets it without any haggling. Quite a hobby for a retired County Investigator.
I really enjoyed that,loved to go to country places with old homesites,when I was younger,can't climb like I used to.,bad knees. By the way Melungeons are a ethnic group of people{Iberian descent} that's like Spanish,and maybe Indian,and others intermarried,olive skinned with a mixture of blue and brown eyes...there are some that live in the mountains of Ky,my home state.Loved the big tree! Also the girls gravestone, the quote was from the Beatitudes,Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall see God. Loving your videos.
For all those curious about John Tipton, John Tipton (disambiguation) John Tipton may refer to: John Tipton (Tennessee) (1730-1813), American frontiersman and prominent figure in Tennessee's pre-statehood period John Tipton (1786-1839), United States Senator from Indiana John Tipton (Alberta politician) (1849-1914), politician and coal miner in Alberta, Canada John Beresford Tipton, a fictional character in the American TV series The Millionaire
+Alex Chiles Part of the movie, The last of the Mohicans was filmed on this river, right up from here. It is an amazing river for kayaking and swimming, certainly love it here!
Hi Beau! So I did some researching and from what I can gather, the inscription on the grave you found is possibly this: "Blessed are the children who walk in the Lord. Blessings and joy shall be theirs. Theirs is the bounty, the fruit of the vine. Theirs is the joy of God's care." - Psalm 128. Hope this helps out, though I'm not quite sure which religion it's from. Some sources I've seen are catholic, others Jewish. Either or, it's very sobering to have found a grave of someone who died at such a young age. Update- It's a translated poem of Proverbs 8:32 and 8:33 from the King James bible.
+Aaron Galloway: The inscription on Bonnie Miller's grave stone is "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." -Matthew 5:8. I was just there this past weekend for the fifth time and verified it.
thank you out standing video hope there will be more you let me see a place that I would have never been able to see loved it and all your shows thanks again free east T.X.
Nice to have such a great tour guide who knew some history about the place . Those Tulip Trees grow huge ( Ive been 2 tha top ). Thanx U guys 4 recording history . I could speed a week round that area . Anywhere theres a Tpee , is allright w/ me

Wow what Great knowledge of your family and helps keep the history of Lost Cover alive!
My grandmother is also buried there, she married G.W.Tipton, she was a Bailey, My father was raised in the Cove, and I am pretty sure he was born there, is name was Hillard Tipton.

+BirdDog Relic Hunting ... No problem,,, I had to look to see what happen to her my self..

I have many relatives buried in little graveyards just like that up in southwest VA. Thanks so much for the video.
Dude I can’t believe it took me this long to see this video of yours. I love it. Exactly the sort of thing I chase.
Thank you for sharing this. My 91 yr old grandfather loves telling his grandfathers stories of the 1st time he ever see a car--it was that Model T getting off the train in Lost Cove.
A beautiful tour of a place unlike anywhere that I've ever seen. Thanks for posting another great experience.
Great video. Looks like a very beautiful place. Lots of history there.

"Go rest high on that mountain" popped into my head when y'all got to the graveyard.
Yo Beau, Stunning place...cool video,Cheers,G:)
nice adventure thanks for the video atb Russ
One of your best Beau,thank you!!.
The Tipton's buried in Lost Cove are my family. My father was raised in Lost Cove'
The old schoolhouse on our place was used as a shotgun house by my great aunt and uncle. The interior walls were papered with the poor man's wall paper, news print.

Now that's what fun is! I enjoyed that. Time to pack up some gear, pick a weekend and camp and detect.
The thing I find most interesting is the flower holder, beside the tombstone. Someone would have to trek all that way just to provide flowers. I know i would for my daughter.
i just want to say, i do no detecting of any kind but i love the outdoors, and you make wonderful videos and every single one of them interests me! thanks for all your hard work, that you put in to make them! i hope to see many more to come!

Beau, that's funny. Just seconds before you said under the house had been nuggetized I was thinking what a perfect place for Nuggetnoggin ! LOL
What a wonderful video. What do ya"ll Know about Muskies in the Carolina's? We grow em Big here in Michigan and over in Wisconsin and Minnesota. But they like cold water and ya"ll got warm water down your way. I just Love those Toothy Critters!
Always wanted to take that hike. I live in Erwin. Thanks for taking the video!
+Beau Ouimette Yep! Murderous Mary..The Elephant!...She was hung!..It is what Erwin is famous for, Sadly!.
Awesome , My great great grandfather is buried somewhere up the the mountains of NC . Only makes me wonder if he could be under one of those stones.
That is a massive poplar for sure.

The largest tulip poplar on record is in Albright Grove in the smokies if I'm not mistaken
Absolutely stunning scenery.
I thought my house was old when I found newspaper in the wall dated 1946! The editorials and advertisements were amazing...
Chigger this place is awe inspiring , I've often wondered about the left one's . Thank you !!!
Great video, love this stuff.
Awesome Place i see you heading back up there one day soon be a great place to detect i loove old places like that you can still feel life there i think id ride my 4 wheeler though if you could loved it Beau
+Bobby Garmon Four wheeler would never make it!
Great video! Nice of you to give Nugget a shout out!
They should meet up and metal detect together.
+Mustang09Hotty They have!
isn't nugget noggin in Alabama?

great hike really enjoyed it
AMAZING VIDEO! Thanks SO much!
My parents crappy internet meant I. could only watch this in 480p-odd. It added to the atmosphere of the video!
Just seeing that river makes me want to go fly fishing.
+Beau Ouimette And you didn't zoom in and show us, aw Beau I'm an old plug tosser and would have loved to have seen them. Any Tiger Esox?
Three friends and I hiked to Lost Cove Halloween weekend 2009. A trip I will never forget.
awesome video. That river stream beautiful scenery .you should detect that pathway leading towards the old town bet you will find tons of stuff. and that river where you said its like seventy feet .if your allowed to do any of that detecting there.
About 15 miles east of lost cove is where I will be doing some exploring and detecting. a lot in part because of your videos and some others, I have gained a big interest into adventures like these

You should do more videos like this I liked it! :)
Well done! Thank you.
man what a cool story beau what a beautiful old place thank you so much for sharing with us!! did you ever find out if the tree was a record??
What a cool place to hike too
I would love to go back in time to that place when people lived there just to see how beautiful it would have looked
Beau you should visit the well of death again and see what's up and if anything has happend
Looks like a great time love to see this stuff
Very neat, enjoyed the video.
*У нас уже морозы! У вас хороший запас видео!*
+ Oleg Mishka Its cold already where I live too. Was snowing yesterday, Beau lives in the South Eastern part of the U.S. where it is much warmer.
what a fun adventure
Would love to see you and Nugget do some collaborative hunts. A day on land like he does and a day in the river like you do. Make it happen Beau!
+Beau Ouimette That's awesome. I couldn't imagine the wealth of knowledge on a hunt like that.
What a beautiful area ! Any panning done in the river?....Thanks for sharing....Rhino
+Rhino Rinehart I have tried it before here, but never even found a speck! Lots of Mica in this river though
that river looks like the river they get fiji water out of ;) ,it looks so refreshing
+Alex Chiles Part of the movie, The last of the Mohicans was filmed on this river, right up from here. It is an amazing river for kayaking and swimming, certainly love it here!
+BirdDog Relic Hunting That's really cool I didn't know that.
great video thank you
Hi Beau!
So I did some researching and from what I can gather, the inscription on the grave you found is possibly this:
"Blessed are the children who walk in the Lord. Blessings and joy shall be theirs. Theirs is the bounty, the fruit of the vine. Theirs is the joy of God's care." - Psalm 128.
Hope this helps out, though I'm not quite sure which religion it's from. Some sources I've seen are catholic, others Jewish. Either or, it's very sobering to have found a grave of someone who died at such a young age.
Update- It's a translated poem of Proverbs 8:32 and 8:33 from the King James bible.
+Aaron Galloway: The inscription on Bonnie Miller's grave stone is "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." -Matthew 5:8. I was just there this past weekend for the fifth time and verified it.
Love these kind of adventures.
Amazing how fast nature reclaims.....
