Hello from Alaska! I absolutely love that you explained about National Park areas and the laws on picking things up! Some people don't understand that you can still observe and learn by looking and not taking :) Thank you for that. I thought it was absolutely phenomenal to see the fish weir. I can imagine the people catching fish and they lived sustainable lives near the river. I visited Mesa Verde in AZ and the tribes lived near the river and a hot spring. The amount of pottery in the nearby fields was amazing and great to look at other cultures and their way of living in the rock cliff dwellings. I loved how the Romans in Southern Spain created salting baths for the fish and were also very ingenious to preserve foods :)

Now that is some cool American history!!! People say there is no history but there certainly is. I love doing research when I found Roman pottery on the beaches in Spain I dig in deep and found out so much cool stuff and where it came from and how it went down the main river to the sea......... Like you were are fascinated with detecting and looking into historical facts of the past. Thanks for sharing. I'll keep following :)

Hello from Alaska! Thanks for sharing. My husband and I are moving to Ohio soon. We have mudlarked in the Thames, found a 400 yr old pirate coin in Southern Spain and many fossils on the Jurassic Coast in England so adventuring is what we love and history. Thanks for sharing your cool finds and adventures :) Once we are settled we will visit Aurora and the Ohio river and many other places where we can detect.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I did a bit of research and saw this: www.bmgen.com/document/pdf/Desc_Report_Mauney.pdf

I have a Rock that most People would ask WHY would i carry the thing around. I use it for a Paper Weight today, but whenever i show someone how to hold it, and think about Skinning a Deer, Pig or whatever Animal Blessed to have given up for another life, their eyes light up, and the first words are… Yeah it fits Perfectly!!! I found it at the River Bank… Just one of those Finds!!!

Grey Wolf in its most natural form, reading some comments below, just shows how Brainwashed we have become through the Telly Vision!!!

I know of many just like this… Southern Missouri is full of unknowns! Stories, and more Stories…

They was aliens

E&I, thanks so much 👍

That dobro in the intro is beautiful. Very nice touch with that, and some good content sir!

I've run into several grave sites in these mountains Caldwell & watauga co. Out hunting . Have never seen any markings on the stones though, some were sunk in. And know all are still there and safe

I love this so much. Been tellin' folks about this lore and nobody seems to hear me. I wish I was there with y'all. #mooneyedpeople #northcarolina #lore

It would be great if Europeans at least had a traditional person from the nation they’re talking about explaining the stories of THEIR people. Those are THEIR stories. There are still some of us left, despite the government and church trying to wipe us out.!In the media real life European people are always coming across like they’re the experts on OUR traditions and more knowledgeable about them than we are. Who tells the stories matter.

That is a very cool idea wetting down the stone and watching it dry, thank you

Thank you for your information. Very valuable!

Great job. Love the history. Bless you.

Hoping that you survived the recent storm.

Great video. Thank you for posting. We are kindred souls in our love, curiosity and reverence for history and the people that came before us. I live in western PA, but grew up in rural Cumberland county NC - although it’s not as rural as it was when I was a kid… (I visit my family there often). The region is rich with history and “great stories”.

thnx for the video guide!!

In North Carolina mountains, I got family buried from my grandfather John Hiarm Rutherford . My grandfather family is from North Carolina on my father side . I hope it did not get flood from Helena .

Superb tips!

Wouldn't you want to be left alone?

A witch is good at hiding name's...she make a tado over it hopein they give up.

Ben I was wondering how you are doing after the hurricane. Hope you are all ok.

They done wash to the bottom now

I should also point out I have found pyramids carved on some stones. This is from the Ohio river valley

Hello, I would like to contact you somehow about this artifact. I have found tons and tons in my local area and these are snake heads that have been broken off of statues. I have more complete ones that are undeniable. How can I get in contact to share with you what I have?

My grandfather , John Hiram Rutherford had family in the mountains who dead. My grandmother had some young children die too . I have not been where yet . I do want to go there one day. My grandfather and grandmother move to maryland ,but did have 16 children . My father was a twin with a sister.

THANK YOU !!!! My ancestors must be in the algorithm for me to have found your amazing & important video (JHBs GGmother was of the Patawomeck Tribe)

Thinking of you guys this morning, the Lord put you on my heart. Tc and God Bless, Joel

Hi Ben, I see the widespread damage and loss in your area. I'm sorry this has happened. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. I hope your congregation and your community survived in tact. I hope your hatchery is undamaged. I'm thinking of you in this stressful time. Sincerely, John Divita

Now would be a great time to go find some cool stuff.

Whats it like now after hurricane Helene?

Bird related to the NC politician Bird? Did you ever get a chance to talk to the old guy with family connections that had been taking care of it?

Hey just found this. I am fasinating with hisyory and old cemeteries

I have nice red and pink ones with fingerprints all over them

Nic fingertip

Back down the hatches hh, stay safe

Great video.Thanks for sharing.

I documented all burials in this cemetery in 2015. GPR showed 24 graves. Theres tons of records available now.

I have my Pa Paw’s M1893 bayonet that he kept in his barn here in East Tennessee. Where did it come from? After reading about its history, I found out it was used not only in the Spanish American war at Puerto Rico but also by the Spanish military at the Philippines. Pa Paw said he got it while he was in the Navy during World War II. He served in the Pacific theater. I assumed it was a Japanese bayonet until I looked at it closer. Does your bayonet have a connection like that?

Thank you for this honest, careful exploration of the legend of the Moon-Eyed People. Many European Americans found it really difficult to accept that American Indians knew and did so many amazing things--from being far better farmers than Europeans were (I can go into detail, if you like, but you probably already know this) to still embracing gynocentric (female-centered) lifestyles that were more democratic than anything most of them had seen before (their only European references, that they knew about, were the ancient Greeks and Romans, who were not fully democratic). Our House of Representatives, in particular, is based on the Iroquois Nation's democratic organization wherein representatives were elected by the Clan Mothers to represent each village in their Confederacy meetings. Most American Indian nations have some sort of story about "little people," which was one of the reasons the "thinkers" of Jefferson's day thought they had to be related to the Welsh, but my favorite story about this incorrect assumption of a Welsh connection is from anthropology, which was a new science in the 1800s. A group of EuroAmerican anthropologists went to the pueblo people with a Welsh "translator" because they assumed they spoke Welsh--they didn't, but the Indians, who had someone among them who spoke English, astonished the EuroAmericans and shared many stories with them. Through the translator, the anthropologists shared the plot of MacBeth with them, so, after a couple of decades when new anthropologists went out to study the pueblo cultures, they were amazed when they were told the story BACK as though it was, originally, a pueblo story. Most of the American Indians I know (I am of Choctaw-Chickasaw descent) find this and other such stories hilarious.

Thanks bro. I'm a new to metal detecting. But I am locating old homes in my area. Privies. Old schools gone. I just starting learning Historical Aerials viewer. New sub! Ever pass thru South Georgia, give me a heads up.

Probably a community/family cemetery... my family cemetery in Avery County NC has all kinds of unmarked rock head stones. I'm guessing as far back as the 1700s.. you could find out who owned that property and find out its history Probably. If records were destroyed just find some old people who have lived there all their life..

@0:26 See the part that has chipped off? Its yellow-ish. It was attached to something... before it was PETRIFIED. If you go look around at the rocks that are found in the riverbeds, most of them are are of similar size, there are some that are very large, and of course there are the very small ones (and there are LOTS OF THEM), and they will ALL have these 3 characteristics in varying degrees. 1) A FLAT FACE. Some of these rocks will have what would be described as unnatural or looks to be cut the faces are so flat and straight. That's because they aren't "natural". Opposite of the "Flat Face" will be... 2) A ROUNDED BACK. Similar to that of a 3 Wood golf club. Flat face/round back. Which brings us to the most important characteristic that they ALL have if it hasn't been entirely tumbled/smoothed/worn away... 3) A GEOMETRIC BREAK where it was attached. The rocks have a squared break that is geometric, in opposition to nature, the word you're looking for is CLEAVAGE. There will be one spot on the rocks that will have this break. You won't believe it, because you're stuck on rocks being ancient tools, used to bash things... or what have you. THE ROCKS that have these 3 characteristics ARE SIDE MIRRORS for vehicles. I can hear the cognitive dissonance crashing in your head from where I sit. The best part about this FACT, not theory, that you're going to have to deal with is... YOU CAN TEST IT !!!! PROVE ME WRONG. Because right now, the burdening of truth, is something of a rare find of itself When you're out looking at rocks. If you're intelligent enough to break through your conditioning you'll start seeing things for what they really are CLEAR YOUR MIND.... this discovery I have made is in it's infancy and you can be at the head of it. This is a huge change in GEOLOGY. I'm going to bet you never read this because I'm that I'm ultra-sneaky-pedigree, shadow-banned, to - the - MAX.AND if my comments were visible to the public I couldn't read them.

Slaves cemeteries are extremely rare the further up the mountains you get, valleys and flatlands had plantations, mountain men typically had large families and worked their kids

Camp creek or copena auriculated

I live near ft. Mountain and we got moon pie people who live in the caves on the mountain.

Bro,you obviously don't like detecting. If you did, you wouldn't post videos like this. Finding good areas has become a major problem. Giving people the goods just for clicks pisses me off!
