That is 100% what it is. I've seen several wheel house foundations in Western North Carolina... they use to be the power for everything from flourmills to sawmills.
G’day Nate Katie Jason & Co ;-) Congratulations awesome find! I bet your standing 6” on top of the mill stones and steel shafts. I believe inside the library is a book with drawings or pictures of this site, as the old owner was a “professor” potentially researching the old origins of his property would have been one of his projects! I wonder if the family has any of the information too? Exceptional treasure Tuesday…. I can’t wait to see Jason’s face when you showed him the river! With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xoxo
Yes, Justin is great. Have you seen his channel "Metcalf Mills"? He has been restoring and researching old mills since his early teens and is currently working on a patented design for a home/community mill so that people can do things like this again. Alot of his videos are on the history in his area. Old homesteads and how and why things were built 100+ years ago. It's all really cool!
Wonderful find! Maybe search the county historical sources of flour mills that use to be in the county. And research your deed to see who owned property a couple owners back. May find historical pictures. Good Luck!! 🍀
Last week's Treasure Tuesday was kind of a wash but this week's is going to be hard to beat! Your research might have to spend a bit of time on the back burner while more pressing tasks get done, but how exciting! How fast do you suppose Justin's heart was beating?
Did you SEE Justins' facial expressions during all of this? He was like a little kid in a candy store....Very, very cool. His passion for the subject is an extremely attractive quality. It makes me want to go exploring. So much rich history to appreciate and uncover....Nate and Katie have much on their plate, but I'm sure it is a joy to be able to take the time and appreciate what they have been able to acquire with their purchase of this beautiful piece of property.
You should be able to trace your deed all the way back to when that mill was in operation. Your county court house should have information in the deed office. I think the office is called Recorder of deeds or Deeds registry.
I would suggest the mill was built with the earliest settlers. As others have suggested, investigate early records. A mill was very important to the farmers out and away from towns. The road no doubt was well used. Exciting treasure!
Now you should call it Jackpot Tuesday! Imagine the history of that mill, probably goes back 200 years. Good place to use a metal detector and see what's hiding under the top soil. Talk about a cliff hanger, can't wait to see what next Tuesday brings! You guys are AWESOME!
WOW! Simply amazing. Yes, I think Justin is correct. I would guess around 1800s. I hope Justin can find the time to visit and search around with your blessing, of course. He would be a waste not to further investigate. I don't think this was a coincidence. No sir; I truly believe this was fate! I feel a really fantastic discovery! Such potential. Man oh man! 😃
What an amazing fine!!! Omg you could not have found anything any greater than this on your property. And Justin will find those mill stones. He has that determination look on his face. His brain was going a hundred miles per hour, and that smile on his face. Great fine Nate and Katie
Just....Wow! Even if you don't reconstruct a mill, it will be a fascinating adventure in discovery and imagination. Wow! Perhaps there are old records in court houses, schools or churches. Is there a historical society in the area that may have something relevant? If you eventually find more previous owners names, then maybe genealogical searches may divulge more links, clues and answers. What about the neighbor who identified the corn crib, maybe his family has more stories. Topographical maps? Drone filming...... You need to bring Justin out again to hunt and identify treasures. Now you have something to do with all of that 'extra' time on your hands.😜
This was great fun! You might want to check your own in-house library to see if the previous owner has any books on archeology or any similar subject where he may have left some notes or information from his own discoveries. It was so exciting to see Justin light up over this discovery.
You still have the hay trolley in the barn!!!! Those are worth a few hundred. Wonder if the old mill burnt down? That might be why there are no remnants just the foundation. Maybe lookup your local historical society and see if there is any information about your location. Might also be interesting to take a metal detector down there and see if there are any other treasures. Going to the opposite end of the spectrum with this weeks treasure Tuesday.
Sooooo happy for you to have such an historical site! You deserve this kind of discovery! But...please don’t use a pressure washer on those rocks. Contact a university archeological department for best way to preserve the historical evidence. 😉
🦋❣🦋That is so interesting. There's a You Tuber that just bought property in Ohio. They have something similar on there property that includes the Petro cliffs. The channel is called "What the Hales ". When they found it, they asked if anyone knew anything. I wait for your Tuesdays, they seem like y'all are having so much fun. As always thankyou for sharing 🦋❣🦋❣🦋
I agree with Jenny! It's time to make a trip to wherever they have the land records. County Courthouse maybe? It would be beyond interesting to find out the history of your property.
I would also be digging through all the paperwork left behind by the professor. Wonder if there is some old documentation or historical books on the area stashed.
Just ridiculously amazing!! Now if justin can build a smaller mill on site you will be the center of community..mill the grain keeping everyone in flour the ultimate sustainable survival...very cool
What an amazing find and to haveJustin with you to explain everything, fantastic. Through research you should be able to find a lot more information on when it was a working mill, who operated it and how and where the product was transported. I’m very interested to see what more info you find out. Definitely one of the best and exciting Treasure Tuesdays. Justin just lit up with excitement.
This is exciting stuff. Hold the archaeological dig till we can get there in the Fall. I do so want to be part of it. I would show this video to the local university, and you may be able to get them to do a proper dig and find if Justin is right about petroglyphs as well. Obviously, Justin already knows what he is talking about with the mill site. Does the road base keep going both ways to confirm a throughfare and does the previous owner know anything about rumors of a former mill site? Ypu have something really cool in this site.
@@TheKraemerLife Of all the many good things you have done this somehow has captured my attention. I would love to see more of the history of the mill and of the archaeology of this site.
Wow! I would be heading to the local historical society to find out more about mills in your area! Wonderful find and extra special to have Justin with you to explain it all. Thank you for sharing!
Amazing stuff and Justin's smile and excitement made it all the more real. I love old stuff like this and will have to come back to this video this afternoon after my appointment. What fun
Wow, this was a great treasure tuesday! Maybe you could find some historical information from the county. Bring us along when you look for the wheel stone.
That is so interesting y'all should get together and restore it that would be so neat to see and if you could actually use it wouldn't that be something
I know that Tennessee was allowed to start giving land grants to settlers in 1806. I would bet that land was settled in the early 1800's. Wonder if there are any old survey records at some courthouse in the area? Anyway that is historical land and it is all very interesting.
@@TheKraemerLife from Minnesota here was visiting relatives in Washington State and was repeatedly told I had an accent. I told them “oh no Minnesotans don’t have an accent”. 😂
That old mill site is just too cool. It looks older than Stonehenge. I think that property is going to be full of interesting surprises. With all that limestone you might even have a cave system on there somewhere.
My mind is exploding with possibilities!!! Imagine you and Jason starting an adventure of recovering and restoring an ancient mill, that would be an attraction!
awesome, maybe time to check a LIBRARY or museum near by, to find out OLD MAPS..😁 I am excited , it JUSTIN2 is correct this indeed is your best TREASURE TUESDAY's BEST find
Yes he is right..that is exactly what it is..awesome find. My grandfather had one that was so old when I was very young..they last used it before I was born and then they had the conveyors for the hay. If I were to guess on age I would say early 1900s if not 1800s. Great find !!!
This like the coolest thing ever!!! The way his face lights up! What a treasure. I guess we'll be seeing a lot more of Justin. Looking forward to seeing what you find.
Despite my best effort, I just can't get excited about mills and mill history. But I love and appreciate Justin's extreme passion and the knowledge he brings to this. Such a cool find.
How exciting! It’s so cool to imagine the people who’s hands laid those stones so long ago. I hope you are able to find the time to research and do some archeological exploration. Please keep us updated.
Nanny would love to see all that in person! Now, put your mind back here in Milwaukie for a minute, across Hwy 224 at Bob's Red Mill is a mill stone from a grain mill in TN dated a long time ago! It is big, not as big as a water wheel that he is talking about on your property. But also at Bob's is a replica (I'm sure) of what Justin is talking about and it is HUGE! Really fun video! Lots of fun in your future - keep cleaning and clearing!
It’s not in any way I want to live, but the enthusiasm and smile on Justin’s face was truly lovely!! And I’ve watched him with the Hollers, talking about returning to milling, and this is definitely Justin’s passion
The mention of Pickens SC sure brought back memories of my old stomping grounds! (I grew up in Spartanburg SC).This video was very interesting. I think you all may have something very unique on your property. Perhaps archieves in the area may be able to help you with some information.
There’s a working mill in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park not too far from you. You all ought to go see it. Cades Cove is a treasure of preservation within the park.
Oh yeah. He's right on point. Dig for those stones!! They'll weigh tons, require major big equipment to retrieve but could be worth a fortune to the right person! We have several old mill sites in our area. That was a huge one on your creek!
I am so thrilled for you both,started watching your videos several months ago and you all have brought to me such joy,Thank you both for sacrificing your time to share these moments with us,wish upon your homestead much blessing and happiness.
How cool is this find! Who knows how old this is. He would have jumped up & down had you found the old stones that worked the mill. Good luck on searching for them, I know I would.
I'm just into the video a couple of minutes - but - do you know Dan/Grass-fed homestead? He introduced me to Clover Mountain. They are all about this old type equipment and he restored a trolley and hay clamp thingie. One video that he shows it in use is entitled "Hay Harvest: 2021". They have restored and use so many interesting items. I hope you can take a look :) I find them very enjoyable and educational. (man, this is fun content! Thank you Justin too!)
In the town I grew up in ...on the property of a farm, up just into the woods behind the farm....there is an old foundation like the mill foundation in your vid, right next to a brook. It had been an ice mill. You can see where they made areas for the water to pool and there was an area where clearly a mill wheel had been. Back in the day they would make ice in the winter and would cut it up, cover it with sawdust and store it in barns and apparently stored like that the ice would last right through the summer months. Really interesting ! Living in New England there are a LOT of treasures like that in the woods all over the place and stone walls galore ! Very cool ! Thanks for sharing !
Such an awesome discovery! It will be hard to top this Treasure Tuesday unless you uncover the millstones or petroglyphs, which I sure hope you do!! I just love Justin and have been binge watching his videos and enjoying each one. Can't wait for next Tuesday!
What a wonderful find on your homestead. So exciting to uncover history and have it on your land. Hope y'all along with Justin will do a little digging and try to recover some of that history. Can't wait to see what y'all decide to do going forward.
What an awesome find. I’m sure there is a county historical society that could shed some light on what was actually there. I love finding old buildings like that and finding the stories behind them.
My family has a hay fork like that one. It’s on loan to the local historical museum. The mill ruins is amazing! So cool that Justin was able to explain all the parts to you.
What do you think this old site was? Do you agree with Justin? Do you think it was something else? How old do you think it is?
That is 100% what it is. I've seen several wheel house foundations in Western North Carolina... they use to be the power for everything from flourmills to sawmills.
Your local historical society can probably tell you what the name of the mill was ....
Check your local library to find out its history you can probably find pictures in the paper etc
G’day Nate Katie Jason & Co ;-) Congratulations awesome find!
I bet your standing 6” on top of the mill stones and steel shafts.
I believe inside the library is a book with drawings or pictures of this site, as the old owner was a “professor” potentially researching the old origins of his property would have been one of his projects!
I wonder if the family has any of the information too?
Exceptional treasure Tuesday…. I can’t wait to see Jason’s face when you showed him the river!
With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xoxo
I think it was what @Justin said without a doubt
what would be cool is if you did a little work there and made it a mini hydro-electric station for the farm.
Very
You can see the "wheels turning" (pun intended") by the expression and excitement on Justin's face!!
Yes, he was thinking all the possibilities of it
The grain mill guy is the REAL treasure!!
Yes, Justin is great. Have you seen his channel "Metcalf Mills"? He has been restoring and researching old mills since his early teens and is currently working on a patented design for a home/community mill so that people can do things like this again.
Alot of his videos are on the history in his area. Old homesteads and how and why things were built 100+ years ago.

Y’all are gonna be pretty pressed to beat this treasure on treasure Tuesday. How flipping AMAZING! 💕💕💕💕

It makes me want to go exploring. So much rich history to appreciate and uncover....Nate and Katie have much on their plate, but I'm sure it is a joy to be able to take the time and appreciate what they have been able to acquire with their purchase of this beautiful piece of property.
Agreed, on the day he came to talk about Mills with us
He was so excited
Ooooh that would be so fun to restore!

Surely the county records or archives would have some mention of a mill there? You might check the historical records also!

My goodness his excitement is infectious.
WOW! Simply amazing. Yes, I think Justin is correct. I would guess around 1800s. I hope Justin can find the time to visit and search around with your blessing, of course. He would be a waste not to further investigate. I don't think this was a coincidence. No sir; I truly believe this was fate!
I feel a really fantastic discovery! Such potential. Man oh man! 😃
It is pretty cool!
I would metal detect that whole area, dont let other people in there either, might be a gold mine of artifacts
Yes, we plan on doing that at some point.
OMG!!!!! Goose Bumps and Scalp Crawlin!!!!! How COOL is this??? You guys are soooooo BLESSED!!
Yes, very exciting...we love exploring and finding new things.
What an amazing fine!!! Omg you could not have found anything any greater than this on your property. And Justin will find those mill stones. He has that determination look on his face. His brain was going a hundred miles per hour, and that smile on his face. Great fine Nate and Katie
WD40 would be great for making that piece move again. Wow, what a great historical find on your property! Thanks to Justin!
We agree!
Please, please research this at the County Courthouse and let everyone know.
We will do some digging
Just....Wow!
Even if you don't reconstruct a mill, it will be a fascinating adventure in discovery and imagination.
Wow!
Perhaps there are old records in court houses, schools or churches. Is there a historical society in the area that may have something relevant? If you eventually find more previous owners names, then maybe genealogical searches may divulge more links, clues and answers.
What about the neighbor who identified the corn crib, maybe his family has more stories.

You need to bring Justin out again to hunt and identify treasures.
Now you have something to do with all of that 'extra' time on your hands.😜
Yes, we will do some digging

I give that guy credit he knows what he's is talking about
Indeed!
Amazing find. I can’t wait to see what y’all uncover.
Me too!
Wow...just wow! You guys gotta restore that somehow
We will see
It's so pretty on the creek.
That's so cool, I love old stuff..
How exciting!
That is SO cool! Especially since he was there to find it. 😮😮😮
Yes, exactly!
What an awesome discovery! I just love treasure Tuesday’s! 🥰
HE GREAT NICE FIND . GREAT PROPERTY. Time for tours $30.00 per family . LOL
LOL
I love learning about the history of places from days gone by !!!!! So Awesome for you guys
If you don't already have one, get a metal detector. You may find treasure all over your land.
We will :)
I agree with Justin and I think that is such a cool find!
You still have the hay trolley in the barn!!!! Those are worth a few hundred. Wonder if the old mill burnt down? That might be why there are no remnants just the foundation.

Check with your county historical Society and see if they have any history on the land. may even have old photos of the place. it a really cool find.
We will do some digging
Awesome video Love imagining what it was like back then when the mill was working
Thanks
Sooooo happy for you to have such an historical site! You deserve this kind of discovery! But...please don’t use a pressure washer on those rocks. Contact a university archeological department for best way to preserve the historical evidence. 😉
My sarcasm and joking isn't coming through on videos...I wouldn't actually use a pressure washer :)

real cool, that probably means your creek was abit higher/had more water in the past too.
It fills up three times what it is normally with heavy rain.
Just ridiculously amazing!! Now if justin can build a smaller mill on site you will be the center of community..mill the grain keeping everyone in flour the ultimate sustainable survival...very cool
That would be really awesome.

@@TheKraemerLife Of all the many good things you have done this somehow has captured my attention. I would love to see more of the history of the mill and of the archaeology of this site.

Wow! I would be heading to the local historical society to find out more about mills in your area! Wonderful find and extra special to have Justin with you to explain it all. Thank you for sharing!
That's wonderful for someone that knows about mills to help you and explain the working of the mil would be wonderful to find the grinding wheel
Yes, that would be so cool if we could find it
Wow Guys what a find!
So cool! I hope you find the wheel stone.
Same :)
I knew it was a water wheel, but I was not sure what it powered. This is so cool!
Might check with county what info they have on your property, may have old maps or whatever that says what they had,
Yes
Love seeing Justin's excitement. Wow, what a find!
I wonder if Justin was able to identify your vines.
He was stoked
rebuild it in time maybe ? that would be so amazing 🤩
That would be awesome
Amazing stuff and Justin's smile and excitement made it all the more real. I love old stuff like this and will have to come back to this video this afternoon after my appointment. What fun
This property sure has a lot of history, another great fine.
Yes, we keep finding more and more
Wow, this was a great treasure tuesday! Maybe you could find some historical information from the county. Bring us along when you look for the wheel stone.
Yes, that will be a whole other treasure
That is so interesting y'all should get together and restore it that would be so neat to see and if you could actually use it wouldn't that be something
That would be something!
What a great discovery! You will enjoy researching this one and where it leads.
I know that Tennessee was allowed to start giving land grants to settlers in 1806. I would bet that land was settled in the early 1800's. Wonder if there are any old survey records at some courthouse in the area?
Anyway that is historical land and it is all very interesting.
Yes, very interesting indeed.
Cool hay trolly!
Yes, I cannot believe it is still in there.
This is so exciting, look at the joy you both have.
Amazing find! I wonder how long it will take until you start sounding more ‘southern’.
Me much quicker than Nate :)
@@TheKraemerLife from Minnesota here was visiting relatives in Washington State and was repeatedly told I had an accent. I told them “oh no Minnesotans don’t have an accent”. 😂
What an awesome discovery! It was so cool to hear him describe how the mill must have been, and to see him so excited about the find.
That old mill site is just too cool. It looks older than Stonehenge. I think that property is going to be full of interesting surprises. With all that limestone you might even have a cave system on there somewhere.
We think 1800s perhaps mid 1700s from our research
My mind is exploding with possibilities!!! Imagine you and Jason starting an adventure of recovering and restoring an ancient mill, that would be an attraction!
awesome,
maybe time to check a LIBRARY or museum near by, to find out OLD MAPS..😁
I am excited ,
it JUSTIN2 is correct this indeed is your best TREASURE TUESDAY's
BEST find
We will do some digging
Wow-wow-wow- That just blows my mind. All kinds of great finds. Thanks for exploring for us.
Yes he is right..that is exactly what it is..awesome find. My grandfather had one that was so old when I was very young..they last used it before I was born and then they had the conveyors for the hay. If I were to guess on age I would say early 1900s if not 1800s. Great find !!!
Very cool
Seeing Justin’s face light up was magical!
That’s just so cool!! I love the knowledge Justin has to see the past through the remainder.
To see Justins reaction to the find was priceless, you could just see his wheels a turnin
YEs, he was so excited.
This like the coolest thing ever!!! The way his face lights up! What a treasure. I guess we'll be seeing a lot more of Justin. Looking forward to seeing what you find.
Yes, he was delighted!
Despite my best effort, I just can't get excited about mills and mill history. But I love and appreciate Justin's extreme passion and the knowledge he brings to this. Such a cool find.
Wow...what a find! And didn't you have a corn crib on the property too? Grinding cornmeal using the waterwheel. I'll guess 75-100 yrs old. How cool!
Yes, we have a corn crib
How exciting! It’s so cool to imagine the people who’s hands laid those stones so long ago. I hope you are able to find the time to research and do some archeological exploration. Please keep us updated.
Yes, we will do some digging
How cool is that.
Wow! Not only a beautiful property but full of history as well.
Yes, that makes it even more special
Nanny would love to see all that in person! Now, put your mind back here in Milwaukie for a minute, across Hwy 224 at Bob's Red Mill is a mill stone from a grain mill in TN dated a long time ago!

Yes, she would. We take her on virtual tours almost daily though and she lights up.
Some kinda mill for sure.

This is so cool!!! I love old sites of any kind. Please continue to explore the site when you have time to see what else you can find.
Yes, we will keep digging
Need get nuggets noggin come over there and metal detecting and see what he can find he a you tuber out of north Carolina
Fascinating! I can only imagine what you might find at that site in years to come.
There’s a working mill in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park not too far from you. You all ought to go see it. Cades Cove is a treasure of preservation within the park.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah. He's right on point. Dig for those stones!! They'll weigh tons, require major big equipment to retrieve but could be worth a fortune to the right person! We have several old mill sites in our area. That was a huge one on your creek!
It seems like it must have been quite large.
I am so thrilled for you both,started watching your videos several months ago and you all have brought to me such joy,Thank you both for sacrificing your time to share these moments with us,wish upon your homestead much blessing and happiness.
Appreciate that, thank you!
How cool is this find! Who knows how old this is. He would have jumped up & down had you found the old stones that worked the mill. Good luck on searching for them, I know I would.
HAHA, he would have squealed with delight.
This was an awesome day! So glad I can relive it again! Great video! Thank you
Truly exciting find.. I agree with Justin ..he knows his stuff.
Yes he does
I'm just into the video a couple of minutes - but - do you know Dan/Grass-fed homestead? He introduced me to Clover Mountain.

Such an awesome discovery! It will be hard to top this Treasure Tuesday unless you uncover the millstones or petroglyphs, which I sure hope you do!! I just love Justin and have been binge watching his videos and enjoying each one. Can't wait for next Tuesday!
Yes, I will have to up my Treasure Tuesday game to be on par with this.
WOW...Simply Awesome...Let the dig begin...MW
What a wonderful find on your homestead. So exciting to uncover history and have it on your land. Hope y'all along with Justin will do a little digging and try to recover some of that history. Can't wait to see what y'all decide to do going forward.
What an awesome find. I’m sure there is a county historical society that could shed some light on what was actually there. I love finding old buildings like that and finding the stories behind them.
Wow!!
The water wheel should be brought back to life ❤
My family has a hay fork like that one. It’s on loan to the local historical museum.
The mill ruins is amazing! So cool that Justin was able to explain all the parts to you.
That is cool.
An Awesome Find , looking forward to seeing more about the water well.
