During the Civil War, when Gen. James H. Wilson's cavalry corps passed through northeastern Alabama while en route to Selma, local residents were asked to conceal their home valuables by burying them in the ground, for fear of them being taken by the Union soldiers. Enjoyed watching your excitement at searching for old relics. Greetings from Israel.

You must have an awesome collection of historic pull tabs.

Good video! It's probably down there in the comments but I think your wiggle point is a lightening rod point because that weather vane is a lightening rod. They had glass balls on them. Maybe if you look around you can find the ground wire coming down to a ground rod. Thanks for showing us that cool house. Fish

I don't know, I've been spoiled. I got a late 1700's-1930's landfill in the woods right behind my house (built in 1837-1840) of my colonial New England backyard. Every 5 inches down every where I step and dig, I find antiques. And have amassed quite the collection over the last few years. Coins, bottles (mostly liquor and antiseptic remedies, they had major stomach issues back then, maybe from ALL the constant drinking they did to stay warm/cope with life's extreme hardships), fountain pens, auto memorabilia like metals decals, lamps, bottles, clay pipes, spark plugs, cigarette cases, porcelain figurines, toys, cap guns, even eye glasses with lenses (!), cast orin stove fronts, clay grain pots/jugs, clay plates and mugs, etc. Admittedly, having access to that extreme density (over a good 30 x 30 ft area) of "treasure" has made me watch videos like this, and be like "meh". I think that lack of signals left right all around in an open field or yard, makes even pull tabs and smushed thimbles seem exciting. But, Dude come by, there's more than enough to go around in that dirt stash. Literal colonial/turn of the century dump in my yard. Blows me away every time I dig, some ppl are all meh when I share this info, some ppl think it's cool as hell. But to some ppl trash apparently is trash, even if it's nearly 120 years old. But not to us.

Nice score on the site! Let me share a story. Five of us went to a farm that had a lot of history like your site. We detected for 8 hours that day. In the last 20 mins of light I found a single silver medieval coin. If I had not found that coin we may never have returned. We have returned many times since that first day and have recovered around 50 more coins and some amazing artefacts. Moral of the story I guess would be keep going back there mate. There is something special there somewhere ;)

You would think that a place like that would hold a treasure trove of old coins and relics in the yard. But I've seen colonial coins dug out of parks and bottle caps and clad coins come up out of some of the oldest places you can find. Sometimes, it makes no sense. Your videos and narration are funny and enjoyable. Looking forward to more. New subscriber.

Buddy, you're hilarious... I just love how you poke fun at the finds you make, especially that spoon! - Dave

GOOD GOLLY MOLLY. YOU PLUM WORE ME OUT WITH ALL THAT DIGGING. GOOD THING YOU ARE YOUNG. NICE OLD HOME THOUGH. WILL LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING MORE. GL AND HH

Thank you for posting the link to the house. I just watched it, it's a very interesting old beautiful house. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Heard him say "kink in your get along" and reminded me of my Dad. He would say "hitch in your get along". Made me smile.

Your commentary is the best!!! Keep up the great work! Love the videos

Love it! Keep making the videos, you have a great sense of humour and show a great level of enthusiasm. We had planned to come over to the State this summer, but it isn’t going to happen. Hopefully we can come and experience the great southern hospitality next year. Stay safe, can’t wait to get out with my metal detector after lock down (UK).

You were checking in the wrong areas. I have been doing this since the 70S. If I were you,the next time you go their I would start under the porch and under the steps. I have found more old change under the steps and porches. Take a tool box so you can enter and repair the areas of wood you need to enter and ext at. Great hunting

Really enjoy watching your videos and the fact that you show what detecting is really like.

I absolutely love your calm voice. I’ve always loved the idea of treasure hunting, sifting, magnet fishing ..pretty much anything you can use to dig up old history. I really enjoyed this video! I can’t wait to binge watch your channel! Loved & Subbed!

You know what's crazy I'm currently a maintenance man. I have been doing this for thirty years. I enjoy doing it to. But what's crazier is that I love metal detecting as well. Good luck young man. I hope your future is always great and awarding.

Cool video. The house is incredible. Thanks for posting

Love that beautiful old home. Thanks for sharing. I kept chanting, “Coin! Coin! Coin!”, hoping you could find some true treasure. But, the treasure in this vid is the home, the digging, and your comments.👍

I love that you simply call your wife, your "bride" and nothing more.. so sweet!

Love your talk,(banter) there is a comedian who talks like you ,love it keep diggin,I’m subscribing!🇨🇦🇺🇸

I usually keep hitting fast forward to get to the good stuff in videos like these. But you, sir, are a pleasure to listen to!

I was reading the comments for what you found, I think the brass long, three sided item, was like a tent/gazebo stake to help keep it up and not blown over in the wind. Great videos tho and I love when you are referring to the "good ol' days" like the songs you sing. Keep them coming.

I was hoping you'd find a nice little treasure to make all that digging worthwhile. I enjoyed cheering you on.

awesome attitude ...the spoon is a work of art ! pull tab was stunning .

I don't think I'm the only one but. I started out watching your videos to see what you were going to find, but I keep watching them to hear what you're going to say lol.

To be the only one to detectorize one of oldest house in Alabama. How can you even think of going home for a week or so, I don't know. Always fun. Keep pounding that place, it should give up something awesome. GL & Have fun. Rick.

You made me laugh when u found the spoon .. thanks! Always nice to get a good giggle in your day! Xo

Man, you have got to be one of the funniest people i have heard on here in forever. I heart pull tabs!!! LOL. And the spoon!!! That was some funny stuff right there!!!

“Hair in my ear poking my brain”

The most enjoyable metal detecting video. You are a funny and good natured guy.

My daddy used to metal.detect loved going with him. We found some really cool stuff. Under where porches were or a house that's been moved u find really awesome stuff.❤ I subbed love ur content man!!

That thick washer is the tipe used on wooden bridges in Canada. I enjoy your videos , your kids and cattle.

Think yer right about the metal everyplace....likely old wire fence..really glad I found your channel!

Gday from australia, just clicked on to see what you would find, you sure did make me giggle, awesome, im now a new subscriber, keep up the great commentary....LOL

so sweet the way you talk about your wife!!!!

The thimble may be silver. I like the washer things you found it is like things I use when I make coin rings. Needs to warm up here in Iowa for me to get out to detect

Cool, wish you would show More of this wonderful old place..

Wish you could do interview video with the old man's storys !

You think the AT Pro is loud? You should hear the Whites M6. I could wake up every dog within a mile and that darn thing didn't even have volume control. LOL. That's the first mid range detector I ever used and couldn't upgrade fast enough.

I am new to your channel I just love your videos and listening to ya...Keep up the great work from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦

I really admire your ethics.Great to see.Thank you

Yep! Just finding that old thimble would have been good enough for me too! I'm real curious to what that circular thing was you were going to clean up. You'll have to let us know. Fantastic hunt and hopefully you'll go back. There's got to be some old coins, pocket watch, bullets, etc somewhere on that property. ATB Alabama man.

Love the presentation....gonna check out some more

not sure how I got to this video. not into metal detecting but I could listen to this dude talk all day long.

Oh it hurts me to see that old door hardware just left. Even the old doors can be made into some wonderful things.

Thank you so much for your service.

Reference the thimble, if they were farming they could have been sowing up sacks - thimbles are found all over the fields here in Europe.

Wonderful piece of history about the slaves and the man teaching them to read and write. And what a lovely looking old house, sounds like you found the man who knew just about everything there was to know, let him know how much you appreciated his help, people liuke that are worth their weight in gold. Really enjoyed your video. Happy hunting my friend.

Enjoying every min of your humorous dialog!

"It's like a whole bunch of pennies in stick form" hahahaha

What a beautiful home. Would love so much to explore and restore

Don't know if you will see this comment but the strange, pointed thing is the tip on a lightening rod. They were attached to long brass rods that ran along the outside of the building. I have one exactly like it, including the odd bend in it. I got mine dumpster diving, when workers threw it away, while working on the exterior of the old boarding house on the street I lived on. The boarding house sat right in front of a railroad stop in a small town in Alabama. When I first moved there it still had the original blue glass globe that sat under the point. Vandals smashed it. The boarding house had the original carriage house sitting next to it until it burned down. Probably vandals, also.

Your voice reminds of the comedian Mitch Hepburge at certain times. It's awesome. Anyway....you're video is pretty entertaining. It's cool you got the history from the owner of the place as you dug and walked around. I love history.

"Pepsi or Coke, I don't know. You can never tell, with no smell." You poetic and sh*t or whatever. I like it!

G'day from Queensland, Australia. Love watchin your adventures and i have to ask have you figured out where the clothes line lived..?. house is old enough to have washed clothes in a big old tub over a fire. combine that with the old washer you already filmed under the back of the house should equal coinage! good luck :)

Im a new subscriber from Australia, southeastern NSW an hour or so from the snowfields. Blessings, Dot

Interesting. Do you have info on what detector you recommend? I used to have one, but didn't use it much, couldn't understand it. sigh.

I love the thimble and spoon. I was hoping you would find something really old. I wonder if people metal detected without the owner knowing. Waiting for the ground to thaw here. Love your videos!

You have a great sense of humor

All the junk digging is what makes the good stuff even more exciting,

What's the handheld apparatus that you fine tune your area with, and does it attach to the main detector?

that washer is an 1829-1845 wheel spacer for a steel wagon wheel.

Been there and have beautiful photos Turner

Wish you told us the name of the place. A number of my ancestors lived in Alabama.

I'm gonna start metal detecting this year I have a passion for treasure hunting

I just discovered your channel from 3yrs. ago liked it and looking forward to going back now to see your video of the inside. Did you ever find out what that brass object was? I was wondering if it could have been a piece to the weather vane.

lol you are so hilarious!! my husband worries me all the time about the hair in his ear's!! getting caught up on your video's, I had been taking care of my sick moma, thank God she's better now!!

Main thing I get out of these metal detecting videos is that I'm not going to waste my time metal detecting.

Those pull tabs keep me busy too LOL but the hunt is always fun! :) GL & HH

That thimble find is awesome.

You really crack me up!

Love all your videos. I was thinking the whole time that place his haunted by someone! 🤔😃

The Speer looks to be off of a fence or gate. Good video. You are great at finding pennies though. 👍

You are hilarious! I love it!

The edge of sidewalks and steps, that's good spots for coins.

That red roundish thing looked like a plastic button from 30s or 40s. Am truly surprised you didn't find more buttons, and misc doodads in the soil. What did the round metal piece end up being? Thanks for taking us along!

It is an out right shame that a house of that age can not be fully restored to its former glory.

The way you say granddaddy is super satisfying 🤣

Love learning about my state.

As a quilter, the thimble was a great find. You need a tripod to set your camera down so you can use two hands. Ps: if there were slaves on the land, wouldn’t you check the areas where they lived?

Hurts my heart to see it derelict!

Such a beautiful house 😍

I wonder if that elongated ornate brass piece you found half way through is part of that weather vain .

You're hilarious!!! "Look at that patina."...hahaha!

OK Grasshopper - I really really enjoy all of your videos and want to help - - BUT - - you need to slow down some. Now maybe I am missing something but when you ground balance both the detector AND the carrot - make contact with the ground and then turn on the unit - leave it there [in contact with the ground] for a second or two. Move the carrot around S L O W E R. That works great for me. And since I have your attention - after you find whatever it is - check the hole s l o w l y again. If this fails to help - just disregard me - I'm old anyhow. Keep them coming.

Good video man, I live in Georgia, but own a home in NW bama, we need to hut together if time permits. Big fan of the AT Pro

You have to ground that pin pointer for it to work right. Turn in while touching the ground, it will give a couple beeps. Then it is grounded and will work like a charm to find things specifically.

Those things on the roof are part of a Lighting Rod System Very popular in the early 1900s..

Good history and dig Good job bud ...

you should try to find the out-house. ...and can you get under the front porch? that's either a wicked shiv or part of a weathervane/lightning rod.

😱Can't believe with the age and generations on that property you found nothing cool but did find so many pull tabs😔 Theres got to be some goodies on that sight👍 would love to see pics of it in its Glory days👏

All i been finding are some old peices of cast iron spread around a field. Old bud weiser cans and bullet shells. Farming tool heads And a lot of square head nails. Found a part of a horse shoe too, so badically just a bunch of random stuff. Still cool to me tho. I have a collection box of stuff now just from one property.

What does it have to beep on to get a decent relic?

The long spear shaped brass or coper thing is the tip of a lightning rod!

Lightning rod missing the glass ball. So you can hear it over the ocean. Three bladed thing looks like a bayonet section pre WWs.

That is no pull tab that's a hillbillys wedding. Ring

Hair in ear, really lol, love it!

great video buddy

it's the top off of a lightening rod the spear looking point my aunt used to have them on her hoise
