Todd, spectacular finds. I loved all of the pocket watches. Your research of the family history was impressive, as well the family cemetery. We hope you are not finished there and can spend another day with Bryan. Thank you for bringing to us another piece of history.👍👏😀

Man you have a great channel Todd. I just love how you weave history of the sites into your digs....no one else does this....a great video!!! and great finds. All those pocket watches is just crazy.

Todd, WE had a big old Black Walnut at the end of the circular driveway on our farm. I climbed all over it when I was little. WE took the whole nuts and put them in burlap sacks and let them ripen until they were black. Then we took the inner nut, split them open with a couple of old bricks and chowed down on the meat. Always ended up with stained finger, but it was worth it! We also had mulberry trees , pinkish and white fruit, gooseberries and grapes up the hill. Back in the late 1800's and into the early twentieth century, whoever was there before us, planted those trees for silk worms. I think that farmwife and the great experiences roaming that land contributed to my health today at 81. Thanks for sharing this hidden history! Cheers, Rik Spector

I love the history you bring into your digs....just a fantastic touch....loved the video.

Awesome video Todd. I think yours is one of the best channels doing Metal Detecting.

Definitely a watch maker or repairer!!! That is just plain crazy how many pocket watches and other clock parts n pieces have been found there!!! Thank you Todd for sharing your adventure with us!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Love it. Thanks for the whole info. Not just detection, history and and even the plants environment each time that you have the opportunity. Thanks. One of a kind half an hour!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Dude I love your channel. Really appreciate the research and work you put into each video. Thanks Todd!

Those oldcwatch frames would be beautiful with an old tin type picture in it.❤❤❤❤

Beautiful and well done. Amazing at all of the pocket watches. I really appreciate the history aspect of your videos. This one is a gem.

Everyone carried them.not surprised as long as the homestead was in use that you found that many. I love those old watch frames

A great video Todd. Incredible to find so many pocket watches. Loved the story

I live a mile from the Amick place here in Fayette county

I know you are looking for the pocket watches buttons coins and such but even if it's only an old square nail it's an awesome find. To just hold it in your hands with the knowledge that people some two hujndred years ago held it and used it is just amazing to me. You never disappoint with the finds or the history. Thanks for allowing me to see all these things. God bless you and your family

What an exciting treasure hunt! I think the item found at 24:17 is one of those things used to hook the stand up collar to the shirt - there would have been 3 of these to attach the collar to the shirt - from back in the days when they had stand up collars. Of all the finds the candle socket to the candlestick is my favorite. Thanks for taking us along!

Your lessons are rich and nourishing to the minds seeking their past stories...got to love that WV clay. Thank you for what you do. 👍 My dad and I used to gather and clean black walnuts when I was a kid in Harrison County, WV. Black walnut fudge was Dad's favorite.

Todd, some of those Amick/Emig ‘s must have moved further south. My great great grandfather, Hiram Harmon, was put in the care of a John Amick in 1808, we assumed as an orphan, in Randolph county, North Carolina. We feel there was a family connection to the Amicks due to some naming similarities. We know the Harmon‘s were also of German descent and probably came from the same area in Germany, the Alsace-Lorraine region. Wish we could find out more. Love your videos, from South Carolina.

Great as always. Crazy with the multiple watches. We found our first pocket watch 2 weeks ago after 2 years of steady detecting.

Very cool finds so awesome to think about the history of the site I believe they were watch maker/smiths also God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil

Many different generations must have lived in the old.house

Great video Todd. I went to High School with an Amick in Knoxville, Tn back in the 80’s.

Todd, that ground looks hard and dry. It is no doubt that this guy was a watch repairer or maker I agree. Good hunt.

Great research. N Wv Emigs are relatives. Orig from Tucker co.

Great video and nice finds! I would venture to say he repaired or 'tinkered' with watches and clocks. A previous owner of one of my permissions repaired old televisions and radios. I have dug many transistors and tubes and an occasional label. Thanks for sharing, Todd!

I can't help but wonder if you ever come across Native Indian spear head's. (Hand carved stones). I'm Canadian but both sides of my family (Dutch and Irish) were farmers'. (1803 and 1830) arrival. Both came to the USA first but didn't like the slavery going on so they moved up to Canada and purchased farmland. They collected the many spear head's on their land and as well provided a home for both indigenous people as well as one particular slave named Prince Van Patter who was a staff of Joseph Brant in the original town of Burlington, Ontario. (Lakeshore Drive) on Lake Ontario. Sioux Lookout Park is in Burlington, Ontario at the end of 212 Brookfield Ave. As a kid growing up there my dad and I found many spear head's while digging up the soil to plant vegetables. I can only hope that you come to Canada in order to broaden your search given that we are neighbors 💚💌

Isn't that a collar stud on the rock next to Bryan's button?

There is an Amick farms...chicken processing plant...on the Eastern shore of Maryland or Delaware , not sure where exactly but i see commercials that they are hiring at times. Im sure from the same family.

Todd, the game piece thing that you called it, looks to me like the piece that goes to an old shoe. Back in the day shoes were sometimes buckled up using a device that snapped them together. I think that piece is from one of those shoes and this is part of that snap. At least this is what I have been told.

Collar stud

Happy Turkey Day, Todd!!! Go Vols and War Eagle!!

Maybe it was a type of rolling eraser related to schooling

Those are some awesome finds! I agree that someone had to of been a pocket watch repairer. I'd be shocked if they weren't & if so then they had to of been either a collector or had some sort of mental issues where they had to buy pocket watches whenever they could. LoL! I thought at first that the candle holder was the base of a decorative bell that was just missing a handle. I do hope that you can do another video or two there to see what else the land is hiding. Thanks for another great video & keep up the great work!

Black walnut was one of my favorite flavors of ice cream. Can't find it anymore:(

Over an old trash pit

Hello from Knoxville. What time is it. Still a fun video I enjoyed it. Stay safe say hello to the family for me.

Shadows as gods word say's,we are shadows passing through this world.

Maybe they were pickpockets. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

Hard ground there probably because of the cows

Too many watches for too little money there, must have been at least watch repair

When they quit working they probably just tossed it and bought another
