    Hi Leo. Thank you for today. The nice gentleman who owns the Hatfield Museum is so nice. He doesnt act snooty or angry over the history. We have seen another couple who have a Hatfield/McCoy Museum and they have an attitude. Keep up the good work, tell Mr. Hatfield thank you and dont forget to tell Heather we love her too

    We have a team that locates historic sites and artifacts here in southwest Missouri for organizations and families and locate lost graves. We use anywhere from 2 to 20+ volunteers ranging from little experience to highly experienced veteran detectorist, map specialist, military and civilian historians and others with an interest in history. We're currently working to locate five civil war graves near Fordland Mo. The soldiers were supposed to have been killed by a local farmer in 1862-63 and buried in the woods along the road. One grave was found in the late 1950s and we've located the general area to begin the search but had to postpone until fall due to high grass and brush.

My Mother died in a car accident at Sarah Ann, my family cemetary is at Trace Creek and I graduated from Matewan High School. I moved away in 1989, but watching your videos are like having little a little piece of home here with me in Tennessee.

    I have a dear friend I grew up in church with back here in Coastal NC that married Pamela Hatfield, back in the 80’s, and I think she said Devil Anse was her great great great grandfather. She was a teacher and is a pastors wife, she is a sweet sweet young lady.

    Thanks, Leo, for another great video. Ya'll found some good stuff there. Bad thing about that stuff, it brings up more questions than answers. I guess most archeological finds are that way. Have to wander how all that got there ? Who caried it ? You even on those dates on the coins, that was a lot of money back then. Not like losing a dollar and a half today.
    Be sure and tell Heather what she missed out on. When she sees digging in the dirt, I'd bet she's gonna say she'd rather be at home.
    Guy's Ya'll do great on your explorations of the past. Nice presentation, nice narration, very informative.

I thought I came away unscathed. My left arm hurt and was swelling so I had X-rays taken yesterday. I fractured my arm. I’m looking forward to getting back and hit you up for a camping trip and tour. I stayed at Hatfields hideout. Very nice area and people.

If so, why not tear it down and move over for museum building? Was there a coal mine company town on that land where the token was found? Has your distant cousin or you hear of the Hattfield and McCoy reality show on Hulu?

    The scrip can be highly collectible (and valuable based on rarity). I do take issue with how your metal detector fella cleaned it on site....that looked like a stiff wire brush he used.
    Also, you can date time frames of the scrip by the manufacturer's markings on one side. Some companies that made it were esrlier than others.
    The bullets were cool, especially that 44 dragoon!
