Thank you for being kind to that gentleman. Life is hard.
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.
😮
You're a good man...... no, you're a GREAT man. Thank you for sharing.......🙏🏼🕊️💖
If we all found something to make the world a better place like you do, there would be less tears.
I do family history work and run into Cemeteries that no longer have owners, no records of who buried within. Thank goodness for Find a grave index who keeps these records.
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.
I just found your channel. I've noticed so many positives in what you do, from the no harmful cleaning, to putting the puzzle pieces of the stones together. Great care for both the departed and the living.
Thanks for sharing brother I also am a grateful recovering drug addict 7 years clean and going strong all by the grace of God I plan to share my story with all who will listen to my life story.
Praise God! That's amazing 👏
I always enjoy your videos. I especially was touched by your comments on the gentleman that you reached out to with kindness as well as your personal story. Thank you for sharing. You make the world a better place.
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! 💚🪴💚
Wade great share. Im an addict too, sober 2/22/2016. You know your friend wont get help until he wants help. But maybe he had a sense of connection to you and maybe you can help him along by example. One day at a time. Peace.
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.
Sir , you have a beautiful soul. When you speak your voice is filled with kindness , love, compassion and respect for those you encounter.Thank you for telling us of the gentleman that you spoke to. I will keep him in prayer. May God bless you on your journey through life. You will also be in my prayers. 🙏❤️
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.
It is important, what you do. Do be safe, sir!!
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.
People like you are very, very hard to find. Keep up the good work. All the best, Karl. 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
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😊
Thank you for reaching out to him.
Praying the gentleman finds the straght to recover. Thank you for your willingness to. Have conversations with him. Having addictions are a battle. Hope he as many other finds the stranght.
Well said.
You don't read the comments in your videos?
Anyway, thank you for all your hard work and compassion for these families.
Several cemeteries in Northfield VT need some serious help. Also Plainfield village cemetery REALLY needs help. Graves from soldiers in 1812 , even older. A few are falling into the river.
Loving this series, thanks so much!
A garden hand trowel might be easier to dig around delicate pieces rather than the shovel
Yep. The Lesche is the one to get.
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.
What a great video! Informative and captivating. Applause to you for controlling your earlier addiction and moving forward with your life. I know you've probably touched someone with this video. Looking forward to the next one for sure.
I have found 12 step meetings helpful. If you call the helpline AA they might send someone to talk to him, just one person to another.
Could that piece of slate be the foot stone of the grave?
My first thought as well
Could the slate marker you found actually be a foot stone? And maybe a larger stone lies at the other end? Not sure which way the graves are facing
you have such passion. Bless you
Is there some sort of motorized/mechanical assist you could use rather than hand scrubbing the stones? Just wondering. I know those old stones and the inscriptions are quite delicate.............
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!
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.
I watched another man a few years ago Clean Headstones as well and he used this special Cleaner to clean the headstones very very well and I can’t remember the name of the cleaner though 😢
Got me with that intro. What IS the protocol if you find bones?
I'm from the UK may I ask what are the sheriff looking badges on spikes by some of the old grave stones they look like grave markers or Military grave markers plz I'd very much like to learn about things like this
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.
Random acts of kindness …..making it known ….someone cares about you
Would like to do this. What do you use to spray on the stones?
We’ve recently found an original family cemetery and we are 14th generation. The headstones are broken and some buried. Whats a good way to find the buried ones
Another place that could lag behind, is the local Historical Society. They might need helpbin updating stuff from newspapers - way back! Just if interested in furthering information on such.
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
I've thought that I could detect bedrock variations from body sensations. Even while driving through areas. (I'm a mineral collector.) You're the first trained person I've come across who corroborates the general concept. 🤔
I'm new to your channel grat videos
I wonder if on that last grave where the piece was buried so deep, that it might be the bottom part of a cross of some type.
Is it possible with that thin slate piece that it was a cross and the marker is something else.
😢👏🏽
The first thing I thought was that it was that person's pet. If I left behind a beloved pet, that's where I would want it buried.
I recognize the Hy-Vee sushi tag anywhere
Surely you’ve found bones in your work before though?
Could that piece of unmarked slate be a simple marker for Simone who could afford a proper headstone? Perhaps a marker for stillborn child?
I have known families that report burying stillborn babies on top of other family members graves. Ive also heard of people burying cremated remains on top of older graves, especially in historic cemeteries where no one would notice.
Could it vace been a cross on the gravesite?
😊👍
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
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. 🌼
Have you ever put a stone on backwards and then realize oops?
They worked hard to make sure that marker would last but didn’t put any info on it! Bah! The research you put in must be as tough as the physical labor.
Maybe like to know location of cemeterues.
No music, please!
6:43 you are lucky he isn't trying to be in control and use his addiction to benefit from at the expense of other's alike where I live!
🪦 it is really nice that you're excavating those stone and putting them back up. Preserve the ancestors for future researchers.
#clickbait 😂 got me. But totally still worth the watch. Thanks for all you do sir! 🫡
Odd to find bones in a cemetery wtf people be doing for views
You have missed the point.
Then don't watch and move on..😊
They typically arent 6 inches deep tho
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.
