Spearmint reminds me of my grandmother’s house. We’d go over to eat lunch on Sundays and she would tell us to pick some “mint” to put in our iced tea. As I recall it’s a pretty hardy plant and grows into big clumps almost like a bush.

Loved it! Thanks Gary for allowing Todd to present us this fading history.

I can’t wait for you to detect this area, as usual it is beautiful. Gary is such a wealth of knowledge. I wished young people these days would listen to the stories of the elders more. They have such wonderful stories!

I've never been that far north, that is really some beautiful country you have shared in your videos.

Beautiful and sad

Squirrels will bury the black walnuts from just one tree, and in a few years, walnuts trees will be growing everywhere that the soil is not plowed or tilled. They will do the same thing with pecan tree nuts. I have both black and English walnut trees in my yard as well as two different types of pecan trees. Starting as soon as the nuts are formed and have meat, the squirrels begin their invasion of my front yard. They will bury hundreds of these nuts in the fall and continue to return all winter and early spring to retrieve their bounty. Not only will they forage the nuts from my trees, I had a bushel of hulled black walnuts drying in the sun on a concrete pad right next to my dog kennel. I happened to notice a few days after I set them out that the basket looked lower than when I picked them up for drying. I just thought they were drying and settling. A few days later I saw two squirrels jumping out of an almost empty basket. What two squirrels did with a bushel of black walnuts is a mystery to me unless they ate what they wanted and buried the rest.

Gorgeous scenery there....wow! I thank you for showing these old homesteads that are fading into history and the unknown...RIP Klines...love the music.

Hello from a snow covered Knoxville. What a beautiful place and it’s good to see grass again. Thanks for taking me along. I can’t wait for the dig. Stay warm say hello to your family for me.

Thanks for taking us along on this beautiful trip. I love Spearmint in the wild. So sad about the cemetery graves.....see ya on the next one!

Beautiful scenery. WV is gorgeous. Thanks for bringing us along.

Todd and Gary, I am so looking forward to your finds! Cheers, Rik Spector

I love that you save History Todd!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Only two things I would like when it is my time to travel beyond is to hear the dulcimers and the mandolin while I lay to rest in amongst the black walnuts. A grove of black walnut like that was valuable back in the early days. Thank Gary for his service and thank you for the history. 👍

You have the best videos man....more than metal detecting for sure....thanks for showing us these places...

What a wonderful glimpse of the past.

Thank you for serving our country Gray. Looking forward tontue next adventure. 🕶👍

Another amazing permission Todd with lots of history to go with it as well. Many thanks to Gary for inviting you to his property. I'm sure there will many,many awesome finds Todd. Have an awesome weekend my friend. Catch ya on the hunt video. 😁👍👍

Great tour. Thank you!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Shame you cant straighten up the cemetary and put a nice fence of some sort around it with an entry gate to keep the cows out.

Todd, another beautiful location. Nice to see Gary and excited to see what you pull out of the ground. Sad about the head stones, at least most were intact. 👍👏😀

An interesting video Todd. Looking forward to the dig video. Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait for the dig. Happy to help if you want. Need practice!

Really enjoyed this video what a beautiful spot !

Absolutely love your videos!! Thank you so much

Really interesting, would be nice to fence off the graveyard and reset the headstones, but money doesn’t grow on trees. Tell Gary thank you for his service during Vietnam war. 🙏🏼🤙🏼

Take me home country roads..

Really enjoy your videos, I was able to determine that Edward L Kline's wife Mollie Jane Kline's maiden name was Slonaker.

Such a lovely landscape! I imagine the walnuts were English. I got hold of some years back and man oh man, are they tough to get into! Sad the cemetery has been ruined by livestock. Sometimes an aerial view can better place the layout of an old farm such as this. This place would have been perfect for a drone! How about it Todd?

This video was just to short. Can't wait to see the next one about the Kline homestead.
