Please look forward to watching "Lets Go Bottle Hunting" posted tomorrow. In this video I tried to capture the tension produced when clues start unraveling into a story. This is what motivates the modern "treasure hunter" as most finds don't amount to much. What we actual seek is the expression of a character trait invaluable to past societies however no longer relevant in modern times. That is, every society had its "treasure hunters” or those skilled in being able to find rare items of value. (metal ores, medicinal mushrooms, or useful minerals) These rare items were so beneficial to early societies that the neural wiring inherent to the skill became a necessary gene that was passed on through the ages. This idea also applies to any other hobbies or interest. In essence, doing what you feel passionately about is ultimately becoming who you are on a very fundamental level. That is what this video is really about.
Thank you for watching Metal Detecting Genealogy #19. I was always inspired by this guy's story and I am relieved to have this episode finished. One funny thing that happened was that I didn't realize that someone actually lived in the old phone company building as a residence. As I was standing out in front filming and talking I heard them lock the deadbolt on the door. Don't blame them though.
Hello subscribers. Please check out the livestream chat I did with fellow youtuber Digging Canuck;
https://youtu.be/LgSjtQpqkAo It was a great conservation with a great person who runs a great metal detecting channel.
I'm working on new content this week so see you guys soon.
Thank you for watching metal detecting genealogy #17. This winter when I saw broken stoneware shards in a flowing spring, I knew a story was there. It is interestingly think that what we think of as pandemic would have been viewed by these people as a vast overall Improvement in life. That’s what this channel is about, and I thank you for watching.
Thank you for watching Metal Detecting Genealogy #16. This was a hard film because its was so unbelievably wet and muddy. Between the ice, snow and wind I struggled to piece fragments of broken relics together into some kind of mosaic of someones life. This would not be possible without digital scans of the old 1870's county map. That coupled with searchable PDF scans of old newspapers opens up the world of genealogy and metal detecting. Tune in next time for a look around an old 1800’s spring house. Thanks always.
Please look forward to viewing Metal Detecting Genealogy # 13 posted this Saturday. This episode takes us deep in the woods in search of century old clues as to the life and times of a man that valued his father's wartime service.
Please look forward to watching Metal Detecting Genealogy #12 posted this Sunday. In this episode we fight our way through brush, vines and thorns in search of 1800's farmers Richard and Lovina Thompson.

Amazing to find crudely made, hand rolled, clay marbles while metal detecting an 1860's homestead. Stay tuned for the whole story coming soon.
