Syrup and/or *"Molasses"* and there would have been an animal rigged up "walking in a circle", a Mule. There would be metal parts and grinding stones. *There could be a water source for irrigation or a private mining operation.*
Yes! We metal detected and actually found another one DEEEEP down. We started doing some research and came to the conclusion that that is what it was. I didn’t film the metal detecting, or that part tho.
My oldest son made it through Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia going on four years now. His son was his bone marrow donor. We pray that he will stay in remission. Happy for you Brent! This was a very interesting video. We enjoy history and appreciate this channel🙂❤
Good to see Dan, haven't seen him for awhile, he is a wealth of knowledge. Always nice to meet new people, like Brett who can offer things of his own. I hope he remains cancer free, and has a long life. Only those who have cancer, or had it, can tell you how it effects every detail of your life. I have been fighting it for 5 years now. There was one short period it couldn't be seen, but reared it's evil head again.
Sorry this is happening to you and your family. I'm going through the same thing with two of my family members, my father and sister. I'm a woman of faith that is the only way I am able to help them both. Will add you and your family to my pray list.
I can't get enough of these fellers sharing their knowledge. And I love listening to the stories they tell. I miss my Grandparents so much. What a wealth of knowledge they were! GOD bless you fellas!
What a fantastic and very interesting video, wow you guys really know your stuff, nice seeing you altogether and bouncing off one another with your thoughts and ideas, loved this video, learnt so much from it, sorry to hear about your cancer Brent, praying that you stay in remission with it. Thanks for sharing fab finds today.
Wife been going through breast cancer since march 2019 so thankyou for saying your bit and hope your fine As for Robert loved the video ya all shared thankyou
I 🙏 for her to get well and be done with her treatments. I was diagnosed in April of 2018 and in July 30 2020 I finished my treatments.. so far so good.. she's got this. I was stage 3 breast cancer I had invasive ducteral carcinoma...❤️🙏🙏
I was just about to remind Robert about that timber rattler he found at the Old Byrd Farm. Maybe you should rename the channel Watch Your Step Adventures! lol Glad it's you and not me walking in all those leaves Robert!
Thank you all for the deep woods video and the Cancer awareness. It's amazing the history lost in time, at least you have some memories to tie these stone remains to your families and our great American Past. Cheers, Rik Spector
Always love it when you and your friends find new areas to explore, it must be so cool to keep finding so many new places to share with us. Thank you to you all
Robert alot of history n info on this journey. Love the area u were at can't wait till yur next video on metal detecting. I'll have yur friend n prayer for heal n.🙏 like I said bfore robert I love to hear the dry leaves underfoot as u all walk through these beautiful areas... B safe... 🤓🌲💞🌿
I really appreciate the reverence for history and the artifacts found. The beauty of the land leaves me speechless and full of gratitude for our beautiful planet. Lastly, thank you for introducing us to your family and friends. The warmth, sincerity, knowledge, friendship and amusing interactions have, for me, developed a fondness for all of you. God bless........a grateful fan.
Love this show. I have an ancestor that had a plantation in Georgia. The plantation is no longer standing. Also my father lived there before he died.enjoying the history.
Looking back I always love those kind of Adventures when I was young where we were all spooked by something in the woods especially at night LMAO thanks for taking me with you today😊💖
I cannot imagine the hardship that the first settlers had to deal with. Just turning up on land they had never even seen before, no home just start from scratch. Pretty amazing when you really think about it. Very interesting video guys, many thanks to you all.👍
It's interesting to look at the old record books. You can see where the earliest generations of Georgians that moved from your more developed regions of the country spent a lot of time in education via their handwriting, but as the generations moved on, farming and survival became more important, plus teachers were scarce in rural areas, the handwriting become worse and worse, before picking back up in the late 1800s.
I heard a hospice nurse say, everyone talks about how they wished they spent more time with family and friends, retired early when they had the chance. They never say too bad I didn't work later, and longer at the office. You work your ass off your whole life life, retire and die a couple of years later, what a wasted life.
While we may regret the things we didn't do, few lives are wasted. Most people try to focus on the positive instead of the negative. Like raising decent kids in today's world. Or being an example for youngsters in the family by NOT whining about my own situation. Perhaps all the genealogy work will be appreciated by younger generations, and give them a sense of themselves when they need it most. No one is promised tomorrow, and life here is short. I wish more people would make the most of each day.
What a neat old place Robert. Congratulations to Dan and for his new channel!! 👏👏👏 The barrels I saw near the beginning, I immediately thought of an old still. Lol. Thanks again....just absolutely love these adventures. ✌💚
Oh how fun. I wish I could walk woods here in Nebraska. And Tx. Thank you again for the history lesson. Take care. I pray that u will come out of this fight. God bless you.
HI Robert and friends. A fascinating story. I appreciate all the work and research you do putting these videos together. Thanks for imparting your knowledge with your youtube family.😊
The “nozzles” are called “boxing’s” and they go on the ends of a wagon axel for the wheels to spin on. The “elephant” sized horseshoe is, I think, part of a 5th wheel of a light buggy. It allows wage steering axel to turn from one side to the other to turn the buggy.
Hey Robert, good to see you guys again🤗🤗 I am in Forsyth, been busy a bit but ok. I started my own youtube and slowly uploading videos. Peach State Explorer, going to be a mixture of things😎😎 Be good to meet up with you at some point and do some exploring.... - Peter
This is truly a beautiful spot to explore. Robert how do you pick the music to these video it is always the perfect mood music for the video. I love these trip into the past. Stay say. Love your friends. 🔨🔦📹❤🙏😁
My great grand parents lived in that area Georgia. They did make liquor and that was the reason they were run outta Georgia. They moved to Tn and were run out of there too. So they settled in the mountain area of Bear Paw, NC. They still made moonshine and also became a part of the underground railway. The land they lived on, now holds the Hiawassi Dam. There were 12 kids. 2 passed away at birth. There were 10 kids all were boys but 2 girls. All the boys worked at the still. They also made sorgum. It was so good. One of the boys, Thamor,became the sherrif of the area so there was some coverage to protect the still. They lived in these areas in the mid 1800s.
Cool beans!!!! Dan is a fountain of knowledge. I'm sure he has some great stories. Kudos to Brent on his positive outlook! I know he will be able to help people. Thanks for the video Robert!!!
Lawdy & Louisa Layfield .. that's a mouthful. Love those names. I remember at my greatparents home place the old chimney fell and they left it where it fell for, stepping stones making a walkway. They then built a new one that is still in tact. This goes back to the mid 1800s .. I really need to check the exact dates now that you got me thinking on it.
Hey love ur videos been watching for awhile now, i live in Tennessee, westmoreland tn lots of history up here, my family goes back 6 or so generations here maybe more havent dug too deep into it yet
Those things that look like pipes they belong to old wagon wheels the axles went through them those were the center of the wheels. I watch EngelsCoachShop he does antique wagon restorations.
Wow,that was really interesting. You walking along that creek reminded me of my brothers place in Blairsville. He has a creek running through his back yard n the house is up a slight hill. This place looks interesting n I wished you showed more especially with the metal detector. I sure hope there’s more. Don’t tease us like that . ♥️😆👍👍
Bamboo-- the roots go on forever. It takes over like crazy. Yikes. It Took me two months if digging to irradicate it from our yard in urban Los Angeles.
It won't be long in those 🤬 mosquitoes will be driving you right out the woods. Running into a snake it's a very slim chance but being attacked by thousands of mosquitoes with a guaranteed fact.. 🤬🥴😬😖 Thanks for another great video thoroughly enjoyed it thank you... Be blessed my friend in Jesus name..🤗
My Great Grandparents lived on a farm just down the road from the airport in Chattanooga, TN. They had a Sorghum Syrup Mill just like that. I'm 79yrs old now and I was a small child. My Mom let me push the metal paddle back and forth a few times, to keep the syrup from sticking/burning. The big metal pan was divided into several narrow long sections and a person was at each section stirring. There was a wooden shed over the Mill. What I thought was my job was to hold onto the mule and lead him around the cane press. That mule didn't need me, he knew exactly what to do😊 At least it kept me busy and out of the way.🙄😊 My Grandparents had 7 children, the 4 oldest were married, so that was the work crew on Sorghum making day. Have a blessed day stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰👍👌🙏🦅🔔🗽🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏
I love these vids. and admire your respect for the land and Native/slave remnants guys but please remember to say that nowhere was empty wilderness, it was all country belonging to the Native people. Good folks like you don't need reminding.
Robert that was most likely a sorghum molasses pan. My wife's family kin made sorghum up until the mid 80s. When you couldn't get white sugar you made your own. My father family made sorghum molasses then stored the cane in silos to feed the cattle. If you have seen the old movie Sargeant York you'll see a sorghum cane crushing mill in the movie. The mills were driven by a mule or horse.
And my grandfather on the layfield side was a moonshine maker originally from Chicago I remember his talking about going across the great Lakes delivering shine when the water was completely frozen .
Good for you Brent not counting yourself down and out. My oldest sister passed four years ago from brain cancer.....unfortunately from diagnoses to going home to our maker was couple months. Robert I wonder if that "elephant shoe" was some kind of handle for a cauldron or pot 🤷
You know as a kid growing up in Georgia.....I spent a lot of spring, summer and fall days roaming woods and it never occured to me the snakes I'd encounter....which were none I'm aware of 🤷
Same, though I have come across a few massive rat snacks and common garter snakes.. now I'm more aware of every step I take, and if I see a snake skin, every briar grabbing me is probably a snake 😂
Interesting finds that to anyone else, would have been invisible to the average person. I like how you can notate certain features of where ever you go. You have the ability to see things the way they used to be many years ago. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Yeah! While I didn’t film it, we actually metal detected and dug another one deep down. We did some research and figured out what we thought it was - which is exactly that.
Interesting listen to you talking about the land owners making moonshine on their land and not be bothered by the revenue agents. My parents talked about the “Revenuers” going around looking for stills.
I 95 North thru Connecticut you see a lot of stone walls in the woods, before they cut the highway thru these were built by the landowners, somebody told me as the landowners would plow the land they would take the boulders and make the property borders, sounds logical but I am not sure..
I wish I could have been able to listen and talk to the people who built that Rock formation . If anyone noticed that there is two small rocks on top of the formation could have formed a small channel for what I don't know maybe someone else has an idea .
I believe what y'all are calling nozzles are actually "boxings" they go inside wooden wagon wheels and fit over the wagon axel to minimize wear on the axel.
Ya know my dream job would be to travel the U.S. and hit old homesteads and survey, metal detect, lidar and excavate to give the history of each site and publish a book with the info so people could travel and remember these places and speak the names of the dead so they live again. Would also be great to do lil popup museums(like the roadside librarys but locked) at each site showing a few items of interest and the brief history. The ONLY problem tho would be people would probably vandalize and carry off items.
Syrup and/or *"Molasses"* and there would have been an animal rigged up "walking in a circle", a Mule. There would be metal parts and grinding stones. *There could be a water source for irrigation or a private mining operation.*
A great adventure with Brent and Dan!

Those two "nozzles" are actually for a buggy wheel...it is the bearing that is pressed into the hub of the wheel. Great video...keep 'em coming!
Yes! We metal detected and actually found another one DEEEEP down. We started doing some research and came to the conclusion that that is what it was. I didn’t film the metal detecting, or that part tho.

I've lost too many young family members to cancer. Go for you and may you live a good long life.
Every year in my wife's home town they have Sorghum Fest. They still make sorghum the same way it was done in the early century. Mount Ida Ar.
Dan is such a wonderful wealth of information! I love listening to him. Good luck to Brent on his UA-cam channel!

Good to see them 😊
I cannot imagine the hardship that the first settlers had to deal with.
Just turning up on land they had never even seen before, no home just start from scratch.
Pretty amazing when you really think about it.
Very interesting video guys, many thanks to you all.👍
I think about my Great Grandparents, homesteading on the North Dakota prairie...the trees came later, planted by them!
@@alanatolstad4824 They were made of different stuff back then Alana.
Livening off the land the best they could, scary stuff I bet.
Take care. 👍

HI Robert and friends. A fascinating story. I appreciate all the work and research you do putting these videos together. Thanks for imparting your knowledge with your youtube family.😊
Thank you Robert these gentlemen are wonderful!!! very interesting!!
We want more of the duo Robert team!
But it's nice to have a break once in awhile. Different types of knowledge from different types of people.
The “nozzles” are called “boxing’s” and they go on the ends of a wagon axel for the wheels to spin on.
The “elephant” sized horseshoe is, I think, part of a 5th wheel of a light buggy. It allows wage steering axel to turn from one side to the other to turn the buggy.

Thanks Robert enjoyed. People in my family have had cancer, will check out life after diagnosis

Took me two months if digging to irradicate it from our yard in urban Los Angeles.
Enjoyed the video guys.
Mayans used terracing and proof is in Georgia.
I really wouldn't expect to find any burning residue since pot ash was used in so many things.
Wow, this is such a great video! #DamnThoseRevenooers LOL!!!

I thought you said Bret at first lol
But your description says Brent
Thinking of the couple who lived there reminds me of the " just the 2 of us , we can make it if we try."
Interesting to know other relatives other than where I am located got to do more reasearch on family tree.
And my grandfather on the layfield side was a moonshine maker originally from Chicago I remember his talking about going across the great Lakes delivering shine when the water was completely frozen .
Good for you Brent not counting yourself down and out. My oldest sister passed four years ago from brain cancer.....unfortunately from diagnoses to going home to our maker was couple months. Robert I wonder if that "elephant shoe" was some kind of handle for a cauldron or pot 🤷

So much history over there! I like it
It is great to see a good water source for the farm. It would have been a hardship without it.
Interesting finds that to anyone else, would have been invisible to the average person. I like how you can notate certain features of where ever you go. You have the ability to see things the way they used to be many years ago. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Robert, those piece Dan thought was a nozzle are actually the center to wagon wheels
Great finds.
Great video Rob ! Greetings form Edmonton Canada
Those tubes are hubs for buggies or light duty carts.
Yeah! While I didn’t film it, we actually metal detected and dug another one deep down. We did some research and figured out what we thought it was - which is exactly that.
Interesting listen to you talking about the land owners making moonshine on their land and not be bothered by the revenue agents. My parents talked about the “Revenuers” going around looking for stills.
Beautiful place
Hey thank you for the video. You guys need to wear cowboy boots for the snakes. ❤️
The metal pieces found are parts from a old wagon or carriage
They had land and their people (and knowledge); they had everything.
Looks like a barrel top(frame) where the lid half closes.. Hinges are gone, but the semicircular part is there..
And great video
I 95 North thru Connecticut you see a lot of stone walls in the woods, before they cut the highway thru these were built by the landowners, somebody told me as the landowners would plow the land they would take the boulders and make the property borders, sounds logical but I am not sure..

Would also be great to do lil popup museums(like the roadside librarys but locked) at each site showing a few items of interest and the brief history.

Hello from New Zealand
Cool stuff
Syrup and/or *"Molasses"* and there would have been an animal rigged up "walking in a circle", a Mule. There would be metal parts and grinding stones.
*There could be a water source for irrigation or a private mining operation.*
