That sounds like a good idea. Do you use waxed thread for this or just adding the fiber does the trick? Is it tied on in some way?

I use a we bit of Murphys Oil Soap to clean, and Howard's wax and feed on the wood.

Please be careful, might be part of why the need for the pins. You do not want to wax and make slippery the places that require a friction fit to keep in place (age and use can pollish these spots too which may be why the pins were needed). The rest can be oild and waxed as much as you'd like.

The parts pinned here would have been friction fit, maybe tapped lightly with a leather mallet or the back it a hatchet with a pot holder in between if that's what was available. Sometimes these get polished with use, sometimes well meaning owners who don't use it, polish them up to preserve the wood. Many wheels are Frankensteined with parts from many wheels or parts replaced over the years too. In 1804 the accelerator was patented and this replaced the mother of all on many wheels, they could not be produced fast enough for the demand. A simple device that doubled the speed of the wheel.

Have not found any crystals but have found Indian artifacts.

@@kentuckyundergroundmetalde4748 I'd be very interested in seeing them. I'm not far from Kentucky, Ohio Valley. What do I look for first?

@@ellenehill2196 the Ohio river is a great place to find Indian artifacts. Find a place alongside the river that is eroding the banks. Keep a sharp eye for anything that looks unnatural. If your really serious and don't mind getting down and dirty bring a spade and a sieve of some sort and wash through the sieve with river water. 3/4" hardware cloth would work well to make a sieve. Passing barges and large boats will uncover more items every day so keep checking once you find a good spot.

In between Monticello and Stearns.

@@kentuckyundergroundmetalde4748 Did you ever go on inside that cave? Looks promising!

logan pollock thanks for the advise. Not a chance of selling It!

Yes, part of why people enjoy spinning today is that you have to relax or it will not work. Relax into the rhythm.

Armenestra Patey thanks. Weather is warming up so should be getting out.

Perma Pen thank you.

babyrazor probably good advise. I only just tasted it. Around here many people still use spring water as their only water source. Municipal water has only been available for 10 years or so. A pipe had been run from the cave to the house. About 1/4 mile. Some sections of the pipe are still there. Quite a few of the locals declined to use the city water. As far as I know no one is having side effects from it.

you just never know unless you have it tested, in the 50's we still got water from a natural spring. Then one day someone got the bright idea to get it tested...oops..they shut that down quicker than you could blink. The stalagmites & stalactites in caves are the result of that "mineral in solution"

Luke Kelly thanks for your comments. It was one of my first efforts and I'm learning . I will cut down on the music in the future.

DiggingIntoYesterday Thanks John. Haven't been digging lately. Too hot. Had a church yard and a 1800s school but neither amounted to much. Get em next time tho!

babyrazor interesting! I've never thought to try that. I actually like finding relics much more. There's always a story along with it even if it's in your imagination. Anybody can find coins.

I think your onto a good spot there. I've been detecting since the early 70's and I wouldn't BS you about dowsing rods. Here's a true story: when I 1st got started the metal detecting store guy lent me a dowsing rod. I was going to new jersey to dowse around abandon towns. The rod he lent me looked like a car antenna on a handle. He also dowsed a map I showed him and pin pointed hot spots. well none of that worked and I was headed back to the car when I noticed that the little bead tip of the dowsing rod had fallen off..wow I was screwed..now I'd have to buy the damn thing. It could have fallen off anywhere in that beach sandy soil. So I asked the rod "wheres the tip" and son of a gun didn't I find that damn tip. The dealers map didn't produce any finds and I had the sneaking suspicion that the dealer had purposely loosened that tip to make a sale. Now years go by and first I print out a map and dowse it asking "where's the silver?" I get a general idea from that..then once there with my rod I ask again. It narrows my search area down and does produce results. now for how it works..I have no idea...it didn't work on the map for that store owner..but it has worked for me. To dowse a map I just use a needle and thread, place it at a map corner and ask..then move to another corner ask again and X marks the spot..I'm 70 now and don't have time for bull shit..I hope this works for you. oh and see if the local historical society or the county has any info on what used to be on you property...good luck.

babyrazor we had a well put in 20 some years ago. We were the last well of the season. This company used a lady to "witch" their wells. We were the 100th well and she was 99 for 99. She couldn't make it that day and her substitute failed by 75 feet. We had to pay for that second drill. I don't know what her secret was.

I have come to think that it's just a matter of belief and faith in the process. If you don't really think that what your doing is legit it's not going to work. you know the feeling you get with a pet, like a dog "where's the ball. go get your ball. and the dog gets the ball and your all smiles and the dogs happy. thats the way I come at dowsing. I have faith that the rods going to get "the ball" Like the dealer I mentioned he just wanted to sell a dowsing rod and I don't think he really thought they worked. I was already to disbelieve in that rod too and think the whole thing was phony until I was sweating bullets because I lost the tip. Imagine trying to find something the size of a ladybug on a beach. but my disbelief made a 180 degree turn when that stupid wand found that tiny tip. So it's not so much that you have to believe it's going to work as just keeping an open mind and let the dog get its ball. tell the dog what your looking for and let the dog find it.

Dig Dogs thanks. my others are not so good. I'm new to this but getting better.

Richard Northcott thanks I'll do that. we had guests over the weekend. a nice young couple we met through a detecting group on fb. green River metal detecting. we went into the cave and detected a couple of cellar holes in that area. I'll have a new video posted very soon on the results of that dig.

clarence clark I hear Ya. I'm new to this and I like music but apparently not everyone likes the two together. I'll really tone it down or eliminate most of it. thanks for not being nasty

KubotaManDan thanks for the heads up. I just checked it out. it's similar to the one I've been using. I have to check on the computer cuz my tablet don't work with it. later

daytondigger1 we're in McCreary County SE Kentucky.

tickpicker thanks. I haven't heard of any gold in this area.

Kentucky Backroads Metal Detecting Thanks! I just subbed your channel. haven't had time to check it out yet. I'd like to join a club if you know of any. have a good one!

Thanks for the sub ! I haven't put much on my Channel yet but have a lot of short clips that i need to put together. If your ever on Facebook, you can check out some of my finds from Kentucky. on my page. I will be watching for more of your video's.

Helene Johansson thanks for the advise. I'm new at this so haven't geared up yet. my great grandparents were from Norway and Sweden so I have roots there. nice talking to you

Where in Norway and Sweden where thwy from? My grandpa was from Sweden, I think the town is called Eda. The rest of my family is from Oslo. I live at the west coast now, not too far from Bergen. I have not been detecting much the last 3 years, but I have seen a LOT of videos hehe learn much from that.

Helene Johansson I don't know where they were from. my grandmother's maiden name was Clara Arneson. my grandfather's name was Hjalmer Krook. I think it was "Americanised" when they immigrated from "Krogh" perhaps.

That's ok :) Often info like that is not told if noone asked. Names were made easier yes, my grandfathers family had the sirname Krusenstjarna, not easy for the americans in the early 1900, so they changed it to Krusen. Thanks for the chat :)
