I’m a senior, a new subscriber. Really enjoyed your video and narration of the civil war history. Your place you discovered was certainly looking like a camp site. Lot of good finds. Want to say, it’s great to see young Staton along, I was tagging a long with my dad when I was young. And to this day still have great memories. My dad, a muzzle loader enthusiast, went out to shoot all the time, and I was fortunate enough to be able to shoot as well, Kentucky rifle and also including a 58 cal musket

Thank you for keeping history alive, even up here at 9k in Colorado we are building a animal rescue and small mining/history museum, I have dug CW relics for about 20y but not consistently, and 10y of pioneer and calvary relics in CO. And definitely want to display and have the knowledge to share the history! Wishing you all the best! Nice Burnside find I was thinking the same about the casing for it, it may have been kept by the soldier?

Wow, 9K in elevation....I bet it gets cold and snowy there....I would love to see it though. I love western history and would be looking for arrowheads out there or old mines. The casing has to be near there....we were right on the property line so it could be across that fence. The permission was obtained for the adjacent farm so maybe lots there.

@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives good luck with the casing ! We've already gotten snow and 4x4 trails off road hit a couple feet of snow in drifts above 10k. Next year we'll be hosting folks to come out and prospect, we have 1000s of abandoned mines and 100s of ghost towns all over, some not even on 1903 maps, alot from the mid 1850s+. My top dig would be a CW buckle, being alot moved her after the war! Welcome anytime here friend!

I know you guys will find many more civil war relics the more you detect that area. An the surrounding areas. Can't wait to see what all you uncover from the camp. 😁👍👍

We bantered a lot and my comments were almost solely about the MineLab and I thought it would drive his competitive spirit rather than the opposite. I hope he also learns that publishing videos on everyone who makes him look or feel bad is also immature. Sometimes the right thing is to suck it up and move on.
