    I'm a retired nurse. I can tell you with absolute certainty that addiction is a disease, not a choice. (That is not to say that addicts are not responsible fo4 the choices they make. They are.) I hope that within my lifetime, we see a better understanding of addiction and better treatments for those who suffer from it.

    The #1 thing we can do as humans to help others, no matter if there is an addiction or not... Is to listen!!! Thanks for listening. Many won't listen anymore for fear of there being an alternative motives. 😢 Thanks for all you do! 🙏🙏🙏

    I have seen slate crosses that could easily break off that way.
    My highest heart rate moment was in a small cemetery in the mountains of Northern California. I stepped, and my leg went straight down well over a foot. Hearing cracks that I thought were the bones in my leg, but more likely the wood of an old coffin. Not all graves are six feet under.
    This is such a good channel. Thank you.

    The dead don't judge you for your (perceived) failings. Maybe that's what the man needs most right now, peace. I'd suggest showing him how to clean the stones without damage and maybe him helping would improve his self esteem/self worth. I've never fought with addiction, but I have long fought depression and feelings of failure, so I may be projecting.

    Thank you for sharing your story, Wade, and the story of the other gentleman. And at the same time, you were working on that headstone that had been knocked down and broken. It was sinking into the mud and soon would have been gone from sight and memory. But then along came someone who cared.

    Your piece of slate almost looks like a roof shingle. They're usually of varying widths and thinner at one end so it can slide under the one above it. I wonder if someone put something else there - a beloved pet, perhaps? - and they just put a shingle in to mark the spot. It's interesting, at the very least. Hope the gentleman who spends time watching your work chooses to avail himself of one of the programs. But at least you've extended hand in friendship. I would think that's quite significant to him. Your parents and family must be so very proud of who you turned out to be, Wade! 💚🪴💚

    I share your compassion but there is only so much you can do if someone doesn't want to change. Always hold out your hand to help but don't be surprised if it isn't taken. Help those you can and walk from those you cannot. God grant you the wisdom to know the difference.

    Another fun day in the cemetery; thanks. Regarding bones, I've found them but we have ground squirrels that dig very deep holes. Once we had to get a couple of volunteers to set up an archeological sieve and go through all the dirt the squirrels had brought to the surface so as to try and recover all the bone fragments possible. The sexton had to get very creative to reduce the squirrel population (e.g. put a plastic pipe on the end of the truck tail pipe and pump exhaust into the holes). It happens.

    Maybe if we all leave the gentleman some encouraging messages. Maybe they can be shown to him? I'll start: Things can get better dude. I promise you. There's help out there for you. I know you're hurting deeply, I'm so sorry you're going through this addiction. You're not alone even though it may feel like it. The universe didn't bring you this far to see you burnout. You're worth so much more than that.

    I enjoy your videos very much. The cemetery looks lovely with the autumn leaves. I would think that the plastic was maybe a flower vase? Perhaps you would like to have a hand trowel for the more delicate areas. I wonder if that slate was a crucifix? It’s very interesting. What town/state is this in? Thank you😊

    A garden hand trowel might be easier to dig around delicate pieces rather than the shovel

    • @user-cc7uf9go2w
      @user-cc7uf9go2w Місяць тому

      Yep. The Lesche is the one to get.

    • @ruadhscottygirl2480
      @ruadhscottygirl2480 Місяць тому +1

      Actually, a cheaper but just as good digger as the Lesche is a Japanese hori-hori, which is used for gardening. We use them for our metal detecting. It’s very strong and well built and great on smaller tree roots because it has a serrated edge on one side and sharp plain edge for turf cutting on the other. Can be found at many garden centers or on Amazon for about $25.

  • @keelienne
    @keelienne Місяць тому

    I don’t think the stone you dug out is a headstone, I think it was a decorative cross- that’s where the fragments and maybe the glass belongs to. The real headstone is still in there somewhere!

  • @Turkeyinthehay
    @Turkeyinthehay Місяць тому +1

    I wonder if you could ask the man that watches to assist you in some way, if he's willing. Maybe quiet concentration washing a headstone would be good for him. Maybe you could teach him how rewarding it is to bring something lost back to life - including himself. Thank you for being kind to him.

    Could the slate marker be a number tag from a period of many burials like the Spanish flu epidemic. You say theres no native slate there but the are school blackboards and those might be scraps from the installers.

    Have a "grave dowser" teach you how to locate graves, This can be a great help. As a geologist I can tell you it is NOT BS as what really is involved is that the rods amplify slight muscle responses to changes in local magnetic fields. Iron in The first few feet of soil is leached out by thousands of years of rain Digging graves bring up deeper soil and a detectable change in magnetic effects over the hole.--- Indeed Archeologists use this to find graves and post holes , using a magnetometer. The Dowsing rods are sensitive enough to do this

    Do you start off with water in that jug or D2? I’ve been asking a lot lately but I can’t figure out what you’re doing. I know the D2 is 15 minutes but of course it looks like you’re spraying water on there and just scrubbing it off, but what are you doing @millenialstonecleaner

    • @ruadhscottygirl2480
      @ruadhscottygirl2480 Місяць тому

      Usually you just start with water and a soft brush. Clean gently. On the meeting edge (the edge where two broken edges meet), it’s permissible to use a wire brush, but ONLY there, never on any other part of the stone. If there’s stubborn stains or lichen you can progress to the D2. I personally use it as per the label. I don’t weaken the solution because by that time after the water cleaning, you now will need greater help and regular D2 will supply that. But this is how I do it. I don’t see that Millennial does any different than I do, but I haven’t watched all his episodes yet. 🌼

      @lauralake7430 Місяць тому +2

      Its unusual for bones to make their way out of a coffin and up 6 feet in a cemetery. Crime scenes have been found in cemetariers, they can be used as dump sites for crimes, and so every instance of disinterred bones should be evaluated by local authority, whether that is a sextant, coroner, or law enforcement. Its not click bait.
