BEST EPISODE EVERRRRRR!!! I was screaming, "I'll drive the 900 miles to help dig!!! I would've camped out and dug all friggin night to help. No continuum jump. Just gotta wait with baited pitchfork, till next week. You could make a mini series out of this one cool hole. GREAT JOB Charlie and Dame! koodos to you to Wayneos.
My guess is an old root cellar. That's also a place you would store tools and bikes etc in later years. Once the place was abandoned it just collapsed in unbeknownst to people in the future as it was probably already mostly buried anyway while anything inside of it went along with the collapse as soil and silt naturally filled the void during it's collapse.
It would be great if someone could use those bricks in a small project at home. I enjoyed this video and the one before it. Thank you for sharing with us and keep on digging. To be continued......
I strongly believe what you found is a well that's been filled in. Most of the time when someone goes in and tears down one of those old homesteads they would fill in the well with the trash left behind and then fill dirt in over it. The items you will find in there are going to be in the time period of whatever was old and broken when the house was abandoned. In one part of your video it appears as though the bricks are stacked in a circular pattern. We had 11 of these old homestead wells on our ranch. We have filled some of them in. Once the house is gone it's an incredible safety hazzard to leave them open. We have had calves fall in and drown, and if a person is out walking alone and fall in one it would be the end. Alot of those old homesteads would have a well and an underground cistern. The well would be dug down deep to water level, and the cistern would go down about 8 feet and start forming an underground bell shape lined in bricks. It's absolutely amazing to look down into one of those brick lined bell cisterns. The cisterns would be right next to the house and sometimes under the porch and collect water from the house gutters.
This just popped up. I never knew this was a thing. Ridiculously easy to get hooked on this. Keep on! I need to watch more of these now. I too would have to keep digging to see what else there is. History and a mystery. Perfect.
Better than any episode of Oak Island. Maybe I missed it but hopefully you detected the dirt piles you shoveled out of the hole. Might have missed smaller metal objects.
I have been dying for you guys to dig that relic out of the ground. What a massive hole with all kind of things in it. I hope you keep digging until you find everything. I know you must be sore from all that digging. But it is very exciting. Can't wait to see more from this pit.
Same here ! Now my curiosity is really high ! If this place is still the family from way back maybe they could get permission to bring in a small backhoe to dig it up if they can even get one back in there to dig with !
I think you might have dug up an old lime kiln. It was used for making quicklime. Quicklime was used for making mortar in masonry work. I know of one such home made lime kiln that was used for the purpose of making quicklime to ultimately make mortar in the limestone structures on a farm. The small limestone quarry, where the limestone blocks were made, was near the kiln
Wayneos you don't mind go ahead and fill in the hole, Dame and I are heading out before it gets to dark to see! Charlie I say someone got tired of using that heavy shovel, buried it hoping no one would ever find it. I've dug them that deep, This one will be remembered! God Bless! (Glen). WV.
A shovel? Now I can say I'm not alone. Rented one of the oldest houses in my town...owner said feel free to detect. Edge of his driveway beautiful signal....yep. 18" down a shovel.
Your second pitchfork looks like what we commonly called a potato hook back in the day. They had four flattened tines and hooked the potatoes out of the soft hill they grew in. What gives it away is the handle shaft is at 90 degrees to the tines.
I love how you guys are endlessly curious and stubborn, with tons of sticktoitiveness thrown in! A lot of those encrusted parts and pieces make me think of barnacle encrusted stuff found at the bottom of the ocean. I've been glued to this one! Here's hoping this site is one you go back to frequently.
Wow!! This is one of the most fascinating videos you have ever posted! I do hope you dig more at this spot; I'd love to see what else is buried there. Quite the mystery site, guys.
In the 2000s, my mom found a 1980s Vespa moped buried 2 feet underground in the yard of a home she bought. It’s an example of something likely stolen or part of a crime somebody wanted hidden. The Vespa eventually started up and she rode it not long after digging it up! My neighbor told me he knew of a 1920s car that was buried on a friend’s farm in the 1940s. It was involved in an accident and they all got together, used a backhoe and concealed it.
Please try to find out more about this place ! I can only imagine what kind of history you guys may dig up there ! Thank you for sharing this with me ! Take care , stay safe and healthy !
Could be a out house then they just threw things in it to fill it up great video cant wait to see what it is Charlie ok so did my guessing so exciting guys this is awesome I know I-know a lot of digging but guys we have to know more of whats in there,,, dont give up come back another day and continue please ,,,,thanks guys
Very cool hunt! I know what it's like to have a signal turn into a excavation. There always seems to be more questions than answers, but it's a good time just the same. I really enjoyed the video. It's really good to see that American made machines being used. Very capable.
Just my opinion that it is an old colonial well and they filled it in at a later date . They threw lots of stuff in there the bike ,wood and leftover bricks.maybe the walls of the well had brick. Just my thoughts. Enjoy your videos and always looking forward to the next. Thanks for sharing 👍...Danny from NH.
Fascinating dig and what dogged determination. This is a tops video for me, wondering when the mystery would be solved. I wish my DPW worked as hard as you guys! You are the hardest working crew on TH-cam! Charlie, Dame and Waynos, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Interesting dig! Strange evidence. Looking forward to the follow-up. I've been wondering IF you'd continue on this discovery. You've answered my question. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble-Gobble!
So exciting to see what was in there. I ran into bricks in a back corner. After clearing out the upper level metals I found out there used to be an old storage building that had gas pipes run to it. The bricks eventually were less scattered and more in formation, lined with rocks that were on the outer walls. I dug all I could out and used them to line flower gardens.
I dug a 1890s thru 1915 dump and in one area 8 ft deep I dug 13 bike frames, hand forged tool, a large brass whistle of a steam tractor and several other way gonre metal tools.
30-40 years ago, was metal detecting at an old army base and we found a strong signal, started digging and signal got bigger and wider. We keep digging and it continued to grow till it was a hole about four foot deep and near as wide, then it was getting late and had to give it up. Never did get back to find out what it was. I still wonder, but even back then, couldn't have found that base without help, I wasn't driving and could only say it was about forty mile from known spot. Hope this video give me closure.
Hi, just found your site, great stuff I'll be back. I think you may have found an Old forge. That's why there's all metal scraps and not much else you're the large flat Rock with substitute for a anvil. The brick could have been a small fire brick forge. The bicycle parts we're interesting the tubing could have been used as a blower and then just throw it in the hole when they were done. All metal was saved because it could be used for repair or reworked. 👍 I do have some experience blacksmithing so I thought I'd share , thank you.
When you started finding the pipe looking stuff I was thinking it might be a carbide gas (acetylene) generator. They would put carbide in it and slowly drip water on it which produced acetylene that you could pipe into the house for lighting. But that wouldn't explain the shovel and pitchfork
You only rarely find seated quarters and items of gold but I find your vids fascinating. I watch every week. I must admit, though, that I miss seeing the "old crew".
Iron casting furnace and forge. The bricks were not cast that crookedly,, the bricks were partially melted in the heat of the furnace, the tubes fed air. the pitchforks are artifacts of filling multiple molds with iron
@@emsusmc All excellent ideas. You just made me laugh. The vision of using bicycle frames as the cooling tubes for moonshine,, Yeah,, it would work. The bricks, the tubes, near the house,,buried,, Oh yeah,, that makes really good sense. Good use of resources. You any good in a canoe? I need a bowman. Truth.
Hay just another idea came to mind maybe it was an old moonshine operation and they got nervous and buried the evidence,or original idea that it was a old well filled in that was brick lined. Thanks again. For sharing.
A Stealth Digger’s mystery for sure. I’m with you guys. I definitely would keep on digging some more. Very cool video. Thanks for staying with it. Happy Thanksgiving. Joyce ❤️🇺🇸🙏🦃
same family has owned that property for over 200 years? I'm on the abandoned well or root cellar. another thought is those trees there have not been there that long.
*That is really "Dry Dirt", to be 2ft + down.* Been awhile since it rained. (I'm feeling, it was a hole that someone used as *"a-fill",* like a Landfill), but I'm not aware what information you guys have on the property, (residential or commercial/industrial), but either way, a little landfill used while construction/reconstruction was being performed.
60 years ago using a METROTEC detector, found 10 inch civil war canon ball 5 foot deep near Seccesionville SC in a plowed field. Old farmer told us they plow them up and they just dig a deep hole next to them and roll them in and cover it up.
the bike you found was call called a bone shaker the wheel was 52 inches or bigger what I believe is the 1700s house burned down in the mid 1800 s and they carried the debris and cleared the site and rebuilt
So, I’m still watching this episode, but I have a thought for Dame’s hole to China😺😎 I know that I’ve read about pioneers building an outside “meat smoking pit”. That could be an old hollow log, propped up with bricks. Or a brick oven. Smoking meats to preserve for the winter. Thoughts? Thanks for all of the cool videos!
I'm sure you guys needed a lot of ibuprofen after that dig! Thanks for the effort. That person must have really loved that bike and those pitch forks to bury them that deep.

Agree.....My first thought.
Me too... (Not the movement)... Lol
Very exciting and what mysteries are in this dig holds all our interest....thanks for a good video. Hope you continue to unearth the past.
NW ILLINOIS
SEEMS LIKE YOUR DIGGING INTO A BARN LOWER LEVEL, KEEP DIGGING YOU'LL FIND A WALL. DON'T GIVE UP NOW!!
That's the damnest hole I've ever seen dug!! Great work guys.
One of those 1800's metal burial caskets with the window *cringe*
This just popped up. I never knew this was a thing. Ridiculously easy to get hooked on this. Keep on! I need to watch more of these now. I too would have to keep digging to see what else there is. History and a mystery. Perfect.
I knew this was getting serious when I saw that shovel!!!😁
Better than any episode of Oak Island. Maybe I missed it but hopefully you detected the dirt piles you shoveled out of the hole. Might have missed smaller metal objects.
Very, very interesting guys. i loved it....

Once again, Dame is excavating hehe I love it! It's more like an ecological dig..
Wow!! This is one of the most fascinating videos you have ever posted! I do hope you dig more at this spot; I'd love to see what else is buried there. Quite the mystery site, guys.
Award winning Metal Detection Video. Kudos!
I know nothing about digging up old things from the past. But this is fun to see what you dig up.
Dig some more...another episode of this would be great!

Looks like a well
The episode I've been waiting for. Thanks. TFT.
Keep digging! Don't stop until you find everything! This is exciting!
That one Helluva 81 / 82 signal 🍻
Could be a out house then they just threw things in it to fill it up great video cant wait to see what it is Charlie ok so did my guessing so exciting guys this is awesome I know I-know a lot of digging but guys we have to know more of whats in there,,, dont give up come back another day and continue please ,,,,thanks guys
No comment. Still making it look easy. I know better, but what I see is what I report! Happy Thanksgiving bros!!! Great vidya!
Interesting big hole in the ground. Kept me intrigued.
Oh yeah!! I can take a lot of this... THIS is good stuff!! Absolutely love this!!
Very cool hunt! I know what it's like to have a signal turn into a excavation. There always seems to be more questions than answers, but it's a good time just the same. I really enjoyed the video. It's really good to see that American made machines being used. Very capable.

Very interesting especially the depth. Love to see a dig and sift.
Fascinating dig and what dogged determination. This is a tops video for me, wondering when the mystery would be solved. I wish my DPW worked as hard as you guys! You are the hardest working crew on TH-cam! Charlie, Dame and Waynos, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
It does remind me when all of us were digging at the Guru's. Shinning Times. Great episode
Interesting dig! Strange evidence. Looking forward to the follow-up. I've been wondering IF you'd continue on this discovery. You've answered my question. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble-Gobble!
Dig it all!
So exciting to see what was in there.

Jees that's some hole Dame, awesome episode
I switched on the channel and thought the guys were playing army by digging a foxhole…. Interesting stuff you have found.. excellent work……
Awesome
Keep digging!!!!!!!!!
This is so very cool and exciting 😀 I am so curious, great video and Happy Thanksgiving 😊 Thanks for sharing
Perhaps it is a brick lined well with piping to take the water somewhere???? Love watching you guys. 💕💕
30-40 years ago, was metal detecting at an old army base and we found a strong signal, started digging and signal got bigger and wider. We keep digging and it continued to grow till it was a hole about four foot deep and near as wide, then it was getting late and had to give it up. Never did get back to find out what it was.

It didn't. Maybe next time.

Where I live a lot of the old bricks give a signal- even the crumbled pieces and dust.
You only rarely find seated quarters and items of gold but I find your vids fascinating. I watch every week. I must admit, though, that I miss seeing the "old crew".
Berry interesting thanks guys hope u keep digging this one and find something good
Iron casting furnace and forge. The bricks were not cast that crookedly,, the bricks were partially melted in the heat of the furnace, the tubes fed air. the pitchforks are artifacts of filling multiple molds with iron
The only flaw i can find in your thinking is, bricks dont melt.
@@commanderjank9060 yes Jank, with enough heat bricks vitrify and melt.
I was thinking forge for metal works, old moonshine still, or kiln for making brick
@@emsusmc All excellent ideas. You just made me laugh. The vision of using bicycle frames as the cooling tubes for moonshine,, Yeah,, it would work. The bricks, the tubes, near the house,,buried,, Oh yeah,, that makes really good sense. Good use of resources. You any good in a canoe? I need a bowman. Truth.
@@Sailor376also can I retire from my job, and have a mini homestead?
Hay just another idea came to mind maybe it was an old moonshine operation and they got nervous and buried the evidence,or original idea that it was a old well filled in that was brick lined. Thanks again. For sharing.
Those bricks may be the base on which a chimney was built. And the tubes could be the remains of the first Harley.😁
Stealth diggers archeology. Great episode!
A Stealth Digger’s mystery for sure. I’m with you guys. I definitely would keep on digging some more. Very cool video. Thanks for staying with it. Happy Thanksgiving. Joyce ❤️🇺🇸🙏🦃
Welcome to Oak island New England.
Lol, just what I was thinking,except that S D’S Find more.
Definitely not your typical day digging! Can't wait to see what else you find. Happy Thanksgiving Stealth Diggers!
You need to bring in a small excavator. Who knows what you'll uncover-discover?
Great episode. Hope there is a part two. Thank you from Ohio.
Happy Thanksgiving
same family has owned that property for over 200 years? I'm on the abandoned well or root cellar. another thought is those trees there have not been there that long.
Time to rent a mini-e!!!!
I love a good mystery! What fun I had!
Great hunt! 💪💥💯
Fantastic adventure! I cant wait to see what else you find!
This is fascinating! I look forward to you figuring it out.....maybe. Certainly bazaar.
Possible brick/rock lined well. They threw in stuff and pushed the bricks and dirt to fill it in?
*That is really "Dry Dirt", to be 2ft + down.* Been awhile since it rained. (I'm feeling, it was a hole that someone used as *"a-fill",* like a Landfill), but I'm not aware what information you guys have on the property, (residential or commercial/industrial), but either way, a little landfill used while construction/reconstruction was being performed.
Awesome dig gentlemen!
You two digging that, reminds me of the Stephen King's "TommyKnockers." Dig On...
Well we waited a week to see what was buried there and the mystery is even bigger as to why!
60 years ago using a METROTEC detector, found 10 inch civil war canon ball 5 foot deep near Seccesionville SC in a plowed field. Old farmer told us they plow them up and they just dig a deep hole next to them and roll them in and cover it up.
A old still once underground. Tubing, brick, shovel, glass from broken jar, a bicycle to travel to the still and home
Wow, cool dig guys!
Please let us see the rest of the dig.👍 So fascinating❤️ Will you notify us? Thank you and have a blessed weekend 👍
Welcome to another episode of *_STEATH EXCAVATORS_* ....lol
Getting more results than those guys digging on Oak island😂!!!!
the bike you found was call called a bone shaker the wheel was 52 inches or bigger what I believe is the 1700s house burned down in the mid 1800 s and they carried the debris and cleared the site and rebuilt
⛏ interesting.
Enjoyed the episode 👍
So, I’m still watching this episode, but I have a thought for Dame’s hole to China😺😎
I know that I’ve read about pioneers building an outside “meat smoking pit”. That could be an old hollow log, propped up with bricks. Or a brick oven. Smoking meats to preserve for the winter. Thoughts? Thanks for all of the cool videos!
Very good dig love it 🙂
Great video! Happy Thanksgiving boys!
Cool👍
Still very cool find.
Possibly was a dump and pushed over yrs ago by a log skidded ?
Im Guessing an old well filled in with fodder, or mayhaps an old cistern
Could it be an old root cellar? We have lots of those in West Virginia. 😊
Could the brick be the lining of a well? Strange to find a shovel pan so deep.
fantastic. youse guys are archaeologists.
i hope you took that Arched brick home?
Could it be a well that went dry and was filled in ? The size or diameter looks like a hand dug well.
I'm sure you guys needed a lot of ibuprofen after that dig! Thanks for the effort. That person must have really loved that bike and those pitch forks to bury them that deep.
Yep, I agree an iron forge or crucible area for smelting and casting
16 tons and what do you get , another day older and deeper in debt .
