  • @mtauction How is it stealing History? It's recovering it from the earth where it would evenetually rot away to nothing or be destroyed by bulldozers someday.

  • I am so glad you yank that stuff out. Showing it to people helps us remember how we have gotten to where we are. Letting it rot or just get destroyed by a plow is a tragedy. Really great videos man.

  • @SHNewEngland Ha, lol well i need a fisher patch, you know i;m a fisher guy.

  • Can anyone help me identify a shell casing I found under the slave quarters at the UofA mansion email me a timskelton@yahoo.com

  • First of all, most MDers aren't old men, I'm certainly not and MOST of the metal detectorists I know are lovers of history and the main people who still believe and hold onto those "sacred" principles that you speak of; people who have a desire to SAVE this history because it is our American Legacy. They are expert diggers and have probably excavated 10 times the historical artifacts than you have. Again, these artifacts were lost and fired by OUR Great Grandfathers. You do not hold TITLE!

  • @white89euro

    You know, I cannot stand Archies like you. First of all, the LARGE majority of NEW sites that Archaeologists and those of us that work with Archies have to work with are thanks to metal detectorists. Second of all, who ordained Archies as the sole excavators and saviors of our history? If we left it up to you guys 90% of the relics in the ground would be dust by time y'all got to them. Grow up and loose the entitled attitude!

  • That pipe that the guy pulled out of his knife was not civil war period. They found serval of those inside adena/hopewell mounds here in eastern Ky. What an incredible find

  • Billy, are you going to the next one? I just signed up. How'd your T2 work there? Iheard the clay can cause some problems with ground balancing.
