I hope you guys all enjoy this adventure. No it wasn’t a historical site, there wasn’t published information about its owners but they left their imprint on the land. Let’s see what we uncover.
The Jar with the holes in the lid... they would use that to sprinkle water onto clothing before ironing. Love the music and the end credits. Thanks for taking us along.
I also wanted to say, thank you so much for filming the Snowdrops flowers, they are some of the earliest bulbs to bloom in the spring. Mom used to have them all around her house and they always bloomed before any of her other bulbs. Some years they even came up through the snow. I always loved to see them, for like Robins, (here), they are the first harbingers of spring.
Appalachian History Detectives ...they normally come out while the snow is still on the ground....I’m from Maine and they would be found about the end of March....here in Winchester we are about a month ahead of Maine so February would make it just about right.....but it may have been earlier like you said because of our mild winter
@@kerrytrumble8121 thanks for the background on these. I've never seen nor heard of them before (and I live just outside of Winchester so we are neighbors). They are beautiful little flowers.
@appalachian history detectives. Yes we are neighbors...we live off 50 west....my husband and I metal detect and would love to meet up with you sometime
...ha ha ha... Todd, if I had, had patience to watch to the end I would have known you figured out that square piece was a jack stand base. My dad had one of those for his pickup and it was the scariest thing. It always wanted to scoot in the gravel when you needed to jack the rig up, or it would start to lean over, unless the ground was perfectly flat. I hated that thing and was glad I didn't have to use it often. Dad never trusted it either and always blocked up his rig with wood from the woodpile, or anything handy when changing a tire. Thanks for another fun video. Always nice to see you out on a sunny day enjoying the hunt for relics, and seeing the sites. Have a wonderful day!
Snowdrops often bloom in the early spring, sometimes in the snow. Just like daffodils, they are a sign that someone lived nearby and planted the flowers.
Cabinfever Crafts you know I had never seen flowers like that before. All alone out there on that plot of ground. They once graced a home. Seems odd seeing flowers only 2 weeks into February though.
When you or the Chigg visit these old home sites or abandoned homes, in my mind I visualize what the people may have looked like. A few moments in their lives associated with what I see as you dig. I would imagine no two visual imagines are the same. Interesting video.... especially the view from the window onto the stream. I wondered what thoughts the person had or pondered.
Leann Kennedy they must have been poor to try to scratch out a place to live right there. The barn was mostly collapsed and on a steep hillside. Everything was squeezed on to a narrow stretch of land. They did their best for what they had. The scenery was spectacular there though.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives i just finished watching your video .The interview with Ruby was the best part to me. Because the question's you were asking her and i couldn't wait to hear her talk such a sweet lady, fine job again A.H.D. When you have a moment please check out my NEW channel ( I DIG IT ) Thanks again
leann lewis you know someone else mentioned that too. I can see the house being a grandma and grandpa house and the jar for the grandkids. I bet they played in that creek too.
james oshields you think I would have figured the jack base out but I didn’t know what it was called. I wish I found the rest of that pocket watch. I need to see if it is silver.
Great fun, went out 2 days ago metal detecting and yesterday I woke up freezing. I had pneumonia. Not uncommon with my condition. Thanks for taking me along on your adventures.
Just done a little diggin on the axe head as heard alot of folks say they late 1800's that sort of style an i found it goes back to 1850's thou mostly were used around the civil war but were also sold into the 1930's as seen a newspaper add from 1932 pop up with the same axe heads an hatchets for sale from a company called plumb . Love this history stuff
Arnold Putman that is awesome research Arnold. I’m new at detecting believe it or not so I’m also new at trying to identifying artifacts. You will have to watch my earlier videos and give me some ideas on other artifacts. The Glory Hole video has some interesting iron. Kale family pioneers did too. I’m more of a history buff than Detectorist and why I started this venture.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives There is another explanation for that jar lid full of holes, but I like the lightening bugs one better. My mother in-law once told me, when I ran across an old jar with a lid like that, that it was her folks old DDT jar. They used the white poison powder sprinkling the bed sheets to kill lice and bed bugs. She remembered them using it on her bed as a kid, and seeing that jar full of white powder on her bed-stand. She said it worked really well. Can you imagine that?!
Lesa Hanners holy cow! That’s crazy....I can’t imagine especially a child getting that in their mouths. It could have been. I like the lightening bugs better 😁
That's true. It's been 5 yrs since I've been back. With the mess now I don't know when I'll get back if ever. That's why your channel is such a blessing
*LOVE* the music! This house site was really nice, wish you could have gone inside or given a better look at the construction of the log cabin. That narrow strip of land next to the stream made it an unfortunate place to put an outhouse! Get your drinking/cooking water UPstream! 😳 I really liked the look at the log cabin. Looks like it was recently or currently inhabited. Great vid, love the channel. 👌 👍 💕
Great episode Todd. I feel like I am right there with you digging. Its great to see that every outing you do not find really good stuff. Sometimes, I get discouraged when metal detecting expecting to find value relics all the time. I have fun just digging and finding little things. Happy hunting. See ya on the next one.
Recently started watching your videos...just wanted to say I do enjoy them. Been watching Chigg for a while. I’m from K-9 Diggers, we’re located in Southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. Look forward to seeing more.
Hey thanks for checking out my channel. I grew up just miles from PA near Morgantown WV. I live just south of Chambersburg now and my brother lives near Carlisle. I have lots of family in PA and there is lots of great history there. I would love to do a dig there sometime....
Appalachian History Detectives You are more than welcome to come join us on a hunt if you get up our way. I knew I recognized that central Pennsylvania accent. I’m a former police officer and K9 handler. Some of our dogs came from Castle k9 in Carlisle Pa
K-9 Digger O’Connor I’ve had someone come up to me twice while overseas and ask if I was from PA due to my accent. Amazing it’s that pronounced. Nowadays I only make it to Hershey Park, Lancaster and Morristown....I don’t see any PA Metal Detectorists on UA-cam. I would think it would be a gold mine for treasure.
Appalachian History Detectives It is a gold mine!! We’ve only recently started our UA-cam channel to highlight some of our finds. There are so many homes remaining from the 1700’s and 1800’s here. Plus, the Revolutionary War history is in our back yards. We are very lucky for sure. I would much rather recover our history than find anything else. My father (rest his soul) was a huge civil war buff...he gave me the bug about knowing our history!
Very interesting, as always. It occurred to me that one of the areas you dug was situated between two streams. That may not have been the best place to be during heavy rains 😁. I’m sure you are disappointed in the finds, but the area was beautiful. Pioneer living; rugged folks. Look forward to your next video.
Thanks! Nice little location. A few finds. The one that you said was a drawer pull is a cabinet latch lol i still have them on some of my kitchen cabinets. Yeah this place is older. That axe head was definitely one of the older items you found. Wouldn't be surprised if played a part in the original settling on the property. Can't believe how much nicer it there! I'm up in Ohio and it snowed a little on Friday evening!
Beeps & Eat's Finding food & treasure a cabinet latch is right. I had seen them before on my grandmas old cupboard but I couldn’t think of it when pulling it out of the ground.
The white dome thing you found is an old house place. :P The one round object looks to be an old pocket watch back. Interesting place. I could have been perfectly happy to have lived in the old hermit shack ...back in the day when it was more sound.
That farmers man cave was perfect to stay toasty inside and just throw your line from the window to fish or use as cover for hunting. Wonder tho if the remnants of chimney area was actually a smokehouse or something. Great little find.
zekesgirl100 I do believe it was in the other side of the creek by the barn. The house could have burned many decades ago too. I’m told the back of the pocket watch was from the 1930’s.
that was a deer scrape on the ground done with his feet and a rub is on a tree with his antlers mostly in late summer to fall to get the velvet off. nice video.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives I have seen that pattern before on a cigarette case that I picked up in a lot from an estate sale years ago. I remember it that cleaned up it looked more like nickel-silver.
JohnP538 i can dream it’s silver then..haha. I had no idea what it was until I got home and started cleaning it. I wonder if the rest of it is out there?
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives If it is part of a watch there will be a raised edge where it snapped on, a thread where it screwed on, or the remnance of where a hinge was soldered on. I'm not saying it is nickel-silver. Most companies that made the cases for pocket watches made the same design in a variety of metals to fit the customer's price range. The most popular ones I have found were silver or a 20 year gold plated version. I've sold quite a few over the years. I would definitely go back and check because if you found the back, the watch would probably get pitched as well.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives It's worth a second look and I would swing a detector over that stream. Running water was an important feature for early homesteaders. The two of you make a great team. Keep up the good work. There's a lot of us who can no longer get out and enjoy watching.
Wow @6:57 you have evidence of Sasquatch in the area. The huge X ot the left of the center tree in the foreground is a sure sign. Looks like the end of a jack stand ..the sqaure item you found.
That jar with the lid with holes in it might have been for insect dust DDT or something else like that for the garden, or for bed bug dusting. They were common in the thirties and 40's.
I also thought the same as you as my dad dusted garden plants and the shed was by an area the garden was but the holes seemed small and only 5 of them so when I saw the lightening bug comments I think that might be it....I can see little kids helping pappy out and him doing his for them.
The first thing that comes to mind when I saw the copper pipe and melted glass was Liquor Still and the prohibition era. Searching google I found that prohibition started in West Virginia and was Statewide so finding melted glass and pieces of copper pipe should be a common find in wv.
John Smith it’s a “White’s” shovel. I love it but I had to have it modified. The shovel blade that is stock is way too small. I took it to a welding shop and they doubled the length for me. It’s heavy but it goes through most things but rock.
Ron Mckay that’s an interesting observation. I wish I had photos of the old place. I had low expectations there but ended up enjoying the dig. I appreciate your watching and making the observation
yerdigginit metal detecting hey thanks for considering that. I hadn’t checked my channel today so I am surprised I’m that close honestly.....my videos are a mix of history and metal detecting so you will have to check out some of my earlier ones. Thanks for subbing.
In my wife's community in Northeast Mississippi, the little houses (look like little outhouses)that line the roads are in similar condition and age. They were built for the children waiting for the School bus/wagon. The kids had to wait in all kinds of weather
Irene Fitzkee you know that is what I thought too but I couldn’t think of the word...some say snuff, some say old condom containers (I know with raised eyebrows) but that is what I love about pulling artifacts out of the ground...the story it could be! Thanks for commenting.
As much brass as you dug there has to be more out there. You AT sounds weird to me. Not crisp as I have heard AT usually sounding. It’s good when folks ask you to investigate. Keep it up!
Bullets and Buttons I could be using the AT wrongly too. I’m new at Metal Detecting and to This machine. Very green. It was such a small site I wrote it off but looking back I found quite a variety of stuff in less than 2 hours. Hmm....man the fire put so much stuff in the ground. It’s hard to detect but maybe I should go back.
The scenery made up for the lack of really cool treasure but I wish I knew the story behind the place. The jar with holes was for lightening bugs I think. The flowers planted by a woman no doubt. Love was there once.
Another Awesome video thank you for taking us along 😁
I hope you guys all enjoy this adventure. No it wasn’t a historical site, there wasn’t published information about its owners but they left their imprint on the land. Let’s see what we uncover.
sylvia greenfield thanks I try and do keep a tissue with me. Most times I don’t know or feel it though. I will try to do better.
That outhouse looks just like the outhouse on my grandma's farm just outside of Philippi, WV. I can remember using it when I was a kid

The jar with the holey lid was possibly used for bugs. Lightning bugs & preying mantis. That's how we did it growing up.

The round thing was the back to a pocket watch the thing that was with the axe was the bottom to an old bumper jack.

Definitely a stand for the old bumper Jacks to chandelier a flat on your car. How times have changed.
Yup I’ve found one of these before

Come on Todd the jar with holes in the lid was for lightening bugs. You can't tell me you didn't do it when you were a kid.

Can you imagine all the wood that axe has sliced through ? I bet it was a good ole worker back in it's day !
A necessary tool for the winter months. A tool that was as important as the gun back in those times.
Great show I like your videos keep it up
Nice video mate. Love the countryside there where you are.
Glad you enjoyed
Caught a couple of videos you've done with Beau AKA the Chigg and you seem interesting so came to sub and hit that bell
That heavy square iron base you found next to that ax head looked to me like an old base to a Hein Werner 2 ton jack stand.
Correctamundo...lol
I haven’t watched it yet but I already know it’s going to be good

I think it may be the base to a jackstand for tire changes,but,what do I know !!Thanks!!
Deb Baker I think you are right!!!
Enjoyed your video
Jar with holes in the lid coulda been kids catching fireflies.
The buckle could be off some horse tack, like a bridle.
William Zimmerman it’s real small. One of the smallest buckles I’ve ever dug. It’s real pretty too. The patina is perfect. It is a mystery though.
That farmers man cave was perfect to stay toasty inside and just throw your line from the window to fish or use as cover for hunting. Wonder tho if the remnants of chimney area was actually a smokehouse or something. Great little find.
It was a cool little place for sure.
I just found your channel! I live in SC but my moms family is from WV. They live in Logan and Baileysville. Cool finds!
Awesome! Thank you!
I wonder how long the road has been there? Perhaps the place was larger back when.
zekesgirl100 I do believe it was in the other side of the creek by the barn. The house could have burned many decades ago too. I’m told the back of the pocket watch was from the 1930’s.
that was a deer scrape on the ground done with his feet and a rub is on a tree with his antlers mostly in late summer to fall to get the velvet off. nice video.

I think so too
I can hear Chigg now is it human. Lol I love it when he finds bones.
Ezra Kidder hey I can see and respond to your comment!! I wonder what changed.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives no idea Todd. Just glad you can see the comment and it didn't disappear.
Ezra Kidder it’s so strange but it must have fixed itself......haha.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives that's what I'm thinking lol.
That area reminds me of a spot just off the road in Crooked Fork.
It would be a good 😌 lace to detect but set the iron discriminate high.
Jar with holes was probably used to put 7 Dust (pesticide) on garden plants. My grandparents used a mason jar with holes for that purpose.
And the fella saying it was for lightning bugs could be correct. It would probably have had more holes for dusting plants.
I also thought the same as you as my dad dusted garden plants and the shed was by an area the garden was but the holes seemed small and only 5 of them so when I saw the lightening bug comments I think that might be it....I can see little kids helping pappy out and him doing his for them.
The first thing that comes to mind when I saw the copper pipe and melted glass was Liquor Still and the prohibition era. Searching google I found that prohibition started in West Virginia and was Statewide so finding melted glass and pieces of copper pipe should be a common find in wv.
Never considered that before. We do find lots of moonshine stills out there from that time period.
The centipede whisperer! Lol
Looks like.a pocket watch back. Thinking thec yard was there before the road hence the reason why yard is so narrow
At 5:57 looks like a inside door lock.
Make up lid is a lid off an old snuff can. I remember seeing them at my grandma's cos she dipped. Yuk
I have a friend, his dad grew up in Milton and Clovine, Wv, last name was Bias.
At 12:25 I think that's a pocket watch back maybe?
I live in harrisonburg va and would love to go on some of your adventures.
Hey Gavin I'm periodically down that way. Let's make it happen.
👍 You're a good show there I enjoyed it I know the chigger introduce me to you 9DO it I'll see you on the next
That square base is to a 1930's Ford friction jack.
I think the jar and lid with holes in it may have been a kids lightning bug jar. That's how we caught them when I was a kid.
I think you are right!
Could you tell me what brand of shovel that is you are using
John Smith it’s a “White’s” shovel. I love it but I had to have it modified. The shovel blade that is stock is way too small. I took it to a welding shop and they doubled the length for me. It’s heavy but it goes through most things but rock.

12:15 pocket Watch back...i believe
Those white flowers 💐 are snowdrops.
Thanks Miss Mary....this is the only place I've ever seen them.
pocket watch case back, car jack base....
That looks like along cold run to the potty in the middle of a night.
How much do your detector weight
About 7 lbs. The size of coil has everything to do with the weight.
16:46 Jackstand probably
I think so too. One of those dangerous types...haha.
The first piece of copper pipe you dug looked like the underside drain pipe of a sink..
Ron Mckay that’s an interesting observation. I wish I had photos of the old place. I had low expectations there but ended up enjoying the dig. I appreciate your watching and making the observation
Enjoyed and sub’d ... was hoping I’d be the person to push you to 2000 but it still says 1.99k, you’ll be there soon. 😎⚒👍🎧
yerdigginit metal detecting hey thanks for considering that. I hadn’t checked my channel today so I am surprised I’m that close honestly.....my videos are a mix of history and metal detecting so you will have to check out some of my earlier ones. Thanks for subbing.
In my wife's community in Northeast Mississippi, the little houses (look like little outhouses)that line the roads are in similar condition and age. They were built for the children waiting for the School bus/wagon. The kids had to wait in all kinds of weather
The bottle was used to 8rion cloths my mom had one just like it
It was a porcupine that chewed a hole in the cabin floor.
Roger Farren you know I’ve heard of groundhogs doing it but not porcupines. Very interesting
first buckle was horse tack. I find them all the time...
It might be but this buckle was very small, like one figure wide. I was thinking maybe a dog collar buckle but it's anyone's guess....
The lid could be half of a make up compact
Irene Fitzkee you know that is what I thought too but I couldn’t think of the word...some say snuff, some say old condom containers (I know with raised eyebrows) but that is what I love about pulling artifacts out of the ground...the story it could be! Thanks for commenting.
Back of a pocket watch
car jack base from 30's maybe
Part of a still on that copper tube in the first find I would suggest.
As much brass as you dug there has to be more out there.
You AT sounds weird to me. Not crisp as I have heard AT usually sounding.
It’s good when folks ask you to investigate. Keep it up!
Bullets and Buttons I could be using the AT wrongly too. I’m new at Metal Detecting and to This machine. Very green. It was such a small site I wrote it off but looking back I found quite a variety of stuff in less than 2 hours. Hmm....man the fire put so much stuff in the ground. It’s hard to detect but maybe I should go back.
not a bad place to get away for a hunt
The scenery made up for the lack of really cool treasure but I wish I knew the story behind the place. The jar with holes was for lightening bugs I think. The flowers planted by a woman no doubt. Love was there once.
