Congratulations Todd on your first watch tool! You also found some more miners tags, so cool! Thanks for showing me how to cook ramps properly! I appreciate the adventures you take us on! Thanks again.
Todd, so glad you and Brian are back there. Loved the watch winder key. I have never heard of ramps, so cool what the earth produces. The meal you prepared looked nummy. Take care and God Bless.👏👍😀
Engaging pleasant style makes it easy to listen and learn some stuff. Ramps were new and something to look for in the woods. A miner's tag was unknown to someone who does not live in Appalachia.
Todd, What a nice diversity of things, usefully or otherwise:) Your home has a nice Cathedral ceiling, really nice light and I bet the view is awesome. Was that your better half, the G.G.C graduate, in the background? Cheers, Rik Spector
I have never eaten ramps, but I have heard of them. Hopefully, some day I’ll get to have some. I absolutely cook every day with onions and garlic, so I know everyone in my house will love them. Very informative video, thank you. 😊
Let’s eat. I have pulled a lot of them when I was a boy and granny would cook them. You could smell them cooking 🍳 down the road. I loved them. Stay safe say hi to your family for me and I’m heading to the beach.
I wouldn't mind having a mess of those ramps to go with my pintos and cornbread tonight. Yummy. I'm still watching your videos on my tv but I just had to try my tablet to leave you a comment. This has been a rough summer with the heat in Florida. Stay safe and keep doing what you do. This old lady really enjoys your videos. I will watch till my last days. Or till the electric goes out lol. God bless and keep you Todd. Thanks for entertaing me.
Hey Gay great to hear from you. Just coming off COVID so I'm behind on everything. We had a long hot spell here too. Everything withered and many trees lost. Tropical Storm Debbie dropped 6 inches of rain here and it greened up fast. I hope all is better there now....but hurricane season is upon us.
So sorry you had covid. Hurricane Debbie just have us a few sprinkles but south of town got quite a bit of rain according to some friends who lives down there. There's 4 more storms that came off the coast of Africa so we're not put of the woods yet so we kind of stay ready. I hope you don't get hit with any of these. I'm praying that they stay out in the Atlantic. St Augustine floods if someone pours out a cup of coffee downtown. Lol. That's not what most people say as what happens when it floods but I try not to go there. Hope all of your family are doing good and you have no more covid. I've been blessed I've made it this far worn out getting it and I didn t take the shots because I usually habe a bad reaction to any of those. Be safe and get completely well. Praying for all of you
Awesome hunt congrats on your watch winding key I like to boil my ramps then fry with scrambled eggs and then put vinegar over em but definitely fry em in iron skillet with bacon grease mmmmm boy my mouth is watering just thinking bout em lol God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
My favorite was the watch winder, 'til you got to the ramps... especially with the potato cake, then changed my mind again, because kitties are the best.
Those ramps were definitely the treasure of the day. I got my schooling on ramps by the Cranberry river in Richwood wv...which is by the way, the ramp capital of the world.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives very cool. We camped and fished on the cranberry for a weekend every year back in the 90s. Got a lot of memories and pictures of good times on the cranberry. I also have physical evidence of a big black bear that tried to drag my large plastic container into the woods.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives sounds like you were in the backcountry. We always camped at one of the few spots below the campground. We would ride our bikes and fish from the glades down to our camp for a day every year. I would recommend that to anyone...it's a beautiful and peaceful ride, especially starting at the glades.
I would have swung around the block remnants of the filled in spring head. A good 20' radius around that, even into the creek. But it's always disappointing when you realize a relic site has been filled in with later topsoil. One way to tell ahead of time is, can you see the roots of the trees in the area? Or is the dirt above the root line? That's one way to know.
I'm hoping to go back and spend more time at this site...especially now that I read a story in a book of an event that happened at this very house and spring. A crime happened there.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives Yeah I'd definitely go back to that site. And would detect around the spring head foundation area where the iron gate remnants were.

Glad you enjoyed it James.
Would love to try a Ramp. Congrats on the watch winder too....fun video
Very nice video Todd. I really enjoyed the ramp lesson. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My grandparents ate ramps in Pennsylvania. My mom used to talk about how good they tasted. Both my grandpaps were coal miners also.
My Grandpa too in Buck Mountain Penn

Thanks Twins...Ramps here are like a big thing...they don't grow where I live, but I couldn't pass up a good mess of them when I could get them....LOL
😭I miss them ramps a lot. Nothing can substitute that flavor...Great find!
You got that right!

Delicious meal!
How'd I miss this one!
Thanks for the ramp tutorial!
A ramp in a honey ferment would be divine.
@@spicencens7725 I will have to try that! I still have a bag frozen in the freezer....yum
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives I don't know how well the leaves would do. Probably the bulb and stem only.
Awesome hunt congrats on your watch winding key I like to boil my ramps then fry with scrambled eggs and then put vinegar over em but definitely fry em in iron skillet with bacon grease mmmmm boy my mouth is watering just thinking bout em lol God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil
Thanks for the tip.....I had some yesterday with my scrambled eggs...they freeze well.
Part of a cuff link i would say
Thanks! Others are suggesting the same so I think we are on the right path on identification.
Wow!!!! Your first miners tags, were they all 86? ……. Now your first clock key! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yessir
My favorite was the watch winder, 'til you got to the ramps... especially with the potato cake, then changed my mind again, because kitties are the best.
Good choice! I grew up with potato cakes for breakfast. One of my favorite ways of eating potatoes of a morning.
The real treasure was the friends you made along the way.
You got that right.
Are all the miners tags from mine digester. Sorry for my spelling.
Yes, from Chiefton. The son was killed in the disaster and still under the mountain.
I first learned about ramps when I moved to western North Carolina for a few years. I think I preferred eating them uncooked.
I've never eaten them uncooked. Hmm....I will have to try this....next Spring. Cheers.
hey hey Scoot I am alewadt subscribed to your channel and good luck Regards Johns detecting adventures
@@johnmbradbury777 hey good to hear from you. I'm glad you have stuck with it. We both had our haters but you also persevered.
Those ramps were definitely the treasure of the day. I got my schooling on ramps by the Cranberry river in Richwood wv...which is by the way, the ramp capital of the world.
Yessir Richwood and the Cranberry were my intro to Ramps. We would catch trout and cook them with Ramps. What a wild place there....
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives very cool. We camped and fished on the cranberry for a weekend every year back in the 90s. Got a lot of memories and pictures of good times on the cranberry. I also have physical evidence of a big black bear that tried to drag my large plastic container into the woods.
Whew...we had a black bear climb a tree beside our tent during the night. We had to run to the shelter....LOL

Could be a cufflink. It is small and of the size it could be either I guess...or neither.
