    + BeamDigger I don't know what that was you dug up but you should always refill all of your holes and put everything back the way you found it.

    You just destroyed an Eagle Scout project. The stones are lined up in rows to be used as seats. They used metal plates and pavers so they don't sink into the ground.

    • @BeamDigger
      @BeamDigger  9 років тому

      +Rob MD It's possible that it was an Eagle Scout project. What would the seats be used for? I think "destroyed" is maybe a bit too strong of a word.

    • @robotpizza

      I'm just guessing and speculating. I would have been like you and caught up in the moment. I was actually getting into it thinking you stumbled upon a stash or worse, a grave. I got a hold of my thoughts and wondered if it was part of a interpretive trail, or the local boy scouts/girl scouts meet up there and use the stones as seats while there leader talks. Who knows...could have been made for a marriage ceremony. Still great video and very interesting! HH

    Definitely from the Ornish. The Ornish were native to North America dating to around 670 AD. They would construct sacrificial alters each being a large stone transported by levitation and placed on what appears to be pavers but is actually Himalayan lava stones hand carved. The ornamental steel is quite probably from the Krill Islands and the marking have just eroded away. These alters are usually found in an area near water and a slight depression in the ground. The alignment is usually east to west facing with multiple rows. The key to their USPS Post office box is usually under the fourth stone from the right when the sun is half phase. The box is usually registered to Vernal Equinox. This in itself is unusual since I heard that Vern moved to Mozambique around 920AD.

    • @BeamDigger
      @BeamDigger  9 років тому

      +Jay Gillund I had that same thought...like an old Henry rifle barrel. However, it is so large and with the flange, it would have to have been from an old Gatling gun or something.

      +BeamDigger An old shaft tool with the bigger flanged end inserted into a air impact tool for drilling holes. The hole in the center would be fore the impact hammer forcing air down thru the center to aid in cleaning out the hole it's drilling

    • @locoburro6215
      @locoburro6215 9 років тому

      +Dave N Japan It wasn't called USPS back then but the forerunner to USPS called EDS. EDS is the acronym for Equestrian Delivery Service aka the Pony Express which for some strange reason everyone thinks we still have here in Oklahoma, formerly Indian Territory. Each EDS rider would carry a badge that had the body of a bear and the head of a lamb. +BeamDigger incorrectly identified one of the badges he found as the Chupacabra in one of his next videos.

    My guess is that if you dug down about 2ft you would have found animal bones. In a woods in the my neighboring county theres about 20+30 large stones arranged in straight lines. We had a hit from the detector under one and dug up a tool box with a cat skeleton inside. A few stones down, same thing only it was a small dog. So we flipped another stone and just started digging, hit red bricks right away and a medium sized dogs skeleton about 8" under those.
    We asked an old timer that owns the land on the other side of the creek about it and he informed us that around 1965 his neighbors dog had died in the woods and they buried it where he found her and marked the grave with a stone. Years later the puppy of that dog had died and they buried it beside her. And so the cycled continued, the whole family started burying pets out there until around the late 80's.

      Did you watch the video? He was able to roll a couple of them out of the way by himself, and I'm not calling the man weak by any means but I'm sure a stronger man could move most of those stones alone with out too much trouble. Also, there is no way knowing who or what was involved in doing this. For all anyone knows a farmer could have put those boulders in place 50+ years ago using a small tractor.

  • @MAXBLAYLOCK
    @MAXBLAYLOCK 8 років тому +2

    I think you guessed right. There is something buried under one of the stones. The rest are decoys. They also make the site easy to find later on without giving away the exact location of the McGuffin. The metal plates and the pavers would keep the larger stones from sinking into soft earth over time.Or maybe they were trying to keep a large Zombie from rising out of his grave.

      +BeamDigger it was proably a old well that was once in service a long time ago ... and they just bury it up with dirtand put metal sheets over it and rocks to keep the pressure of the dirt balanced..or it could be a swamp in the area that some one put the dirt and rocks over so no one could sink in it .....but that my only guess...

    @InSpeshalEd 8 років тому +1

    Is there a Zoo nearby? I know the Toledo Zoo buried a Rhino after it died, So that later on they could dig it up for the bones to have a skeleton to display. Doing it this way gives the bones a better look then traditional de-fleshing does. I was told they went as far as digging a dummy hole in their maintenance yard, but the real spot was in a wooded spot under some boulders. there wasn't as many boulders, but they were bigger. Exotic animal bones go for a lot of money, especially a rhino horn or elephant tusk.

    As soon as i saw the rocks, i thought it was set up as a way to have some people seated in front of a speaker, or just meditating. Meditating would make the most sense, because the metal under the rock seats could have been a way to connect with the earths energy for those who sat on the rocks

  • @davidvolk54

    I'm not sure where this is located, however my Grandfather buried a large rectangular piece of steel he salvaged from The NY Shipbuilding Corp in Camden NJ. He used it as a huge griddle on a campfire at Indian Ridge Boy Scout camp in New York. Every year he would unearth the steel, build a fire surrounded by large stones then place the cleaned steel plate on top of the rocks to cook bacon, eggs, flapjacks, etc. He would grease it up with crisco, wrap it in heavy canvas, then bury it topped with the stones to be used again the following summer.

  • @craigbomberger2210
    @craigbomberger2210 8 років тому

    Some type of pry-bar could relatively easily move the small boulders out of the way so you could dig up the area underneath the rocks that are still in place (assuming you haven't done this or got help to move them from more people).

    @kimjameson7979 9 років тому +7

    I suspect it's a gravity fed, electromagnetic amphitheater that the native Fugawi built. Each seat in the tribal council had their own rock to sit on and the metal plate below concentrated their cosmic karma. Sadly, eminent domain made them move and now their secret is lost, which begs the question, where the Fugawi?

    • @Blagger3000
      @Blagger3000 9 років тому +3

      +Kim Jameson I believe they are blood relatives of the West African Tribe Fakawi. They live in the elephant grass forests where the grass grows in excess of six feet high. The tribes people are often seen jumping up and down while out hunting and gathering and shouting "where the Fukawi", hence their unusual but accurate name. Still laughing :)

    Looks like a stabilization setup to me, maybe for a tower of some sort. Could there have been a firewatch tower there in the past? Or, as has been suggested, something to do with mining? You'd need stabilization points for a rig holding a drill-bit-- I see those occasionally out here in Arizona at old mining camps and they're heavy! And they're not all huge monsters like modern ones; that could date back into the 1940s or earlier.

    Wow. Strange find with the boulders. Did you rebuild the what's it or did you leave everything there to be rebuilt by the ones that who done the project? Next thing that comes to mind is the axel thing. It would have a great pry tool to roll the other boulders with. Then I thought about why this was there in the first place. Modern materials used to build a platform under boulders to keep them from sinking, boulders that are not common to the area, a group of people had to be involved in making it happen. Bet they are going to be pissed. When you find out do another video and explain please. Great vid and another sub for ya.

    • @BeamDigger
      @BeamDigger  9 років тому

      +BigCladWolf It possibly is a sculpture, but the location just doesn't fit that. This thing sits in a fairly remote location. It isn't a city, state, or national park...it's just public woods. I wonder who the art would have been intended for?

    • @bigcladwolfdetecting6017
      @bigcladwolfdetecting6017 9 років тому +3

      BeamDigger I'm sure it was unintentional, but this is the type of behavior that makes metal detectorists look bad and get banned from certain areas. It's clear that whoever constructed it took a lot of time laying the metal plates down so the boulders wouldn't sink into the earth. As someone else stated, maybe it was a Boy Scout project for an amphitheater. Who knows. I don't see the logic in vandalizing someone's work for the sake of a UA-cam video and a few pennies in iron scrap. Maybe someone was trying to emulate Robert Smithson. The reason is not important. Since it's a public space they have every right to create something in that space just as you have every right to tear it down. I just think you should have used better judgement. If I go to a remote spot on a public beach and find an elaborate sand castle, I'm not going to stomp through it just to cannibalize some metal that may have been incorporated into it, I'm going to leave it alone so someone else can also stumble upon it and ponder why it's even there in the first place.

    • @jasonhuntley9927
      @jasonhuntley9927 8 років тому

      +BigCladWolf perhaps that was sculpture. Perhaps it was a little meditation area or meeting place for scouts or a church. I have to admit it looked pretty weird though, and the last thing I thought of was art. The plates would serve the function of keeping the rocks afloat, to add permanence to the structure. But I can't blame BeamDigger's curiosity though, it looked pretty unusual.

    • @locoburro6215
      @locoburro6215 8 років тому
