BEST VIDEO YET!! They just keep getting better! I noticed your buddy had some hesitation...🤣 I don't blame him, yall were about to find that skunk ape!!🤣🤣🤣
Loved both those old cars. My dad always wanted a Bel-Air while the old truck reminds me of my time in the service with my dad and ex. Nostalgia.
Great video, those prints were big. I get clostrophic that was wild going into that cave, felt I was there
Cave wouldn’t bother me but this was a mine haha
Thrilling! Entertaining video. Thank you for sharing.
Cannot wait for you guys go back.
Even as rough as that '55 is someone would restore it. Hardtop Bel Air's are extremely collectible. Some restorers bring them back from little more than a Vehicle Identification number. Great video!
With the price of collectible cars these days restorers are just looking for just enough to build onto. If it has a Vin plate it’s game. Somebody would definitely drag that Chevy and that Dodge out of there.
@@spacefren3826
You're exactly right.
Only issue is that car needs a full acid dip which is extremely expensive
@@darkreno750 I agree, but just about any hardtop Bel air is worth restoration these days. 👍
@@TheDasbull You got that right, especially a 55 with most of everything,what a treasure 🤑 💰.!!
Everyone came back alive 👍
On to the crazy idea . 😂
Thx for sharing
I think the original house was around 1900, then it was upgraded in 30s maybe. That TV looks like 60s to early 70s.
I think you may be right!
As you walked down the mine shaft you could see the impressions in the floor from the rail bed that ran in there.
Awesome property and cars ! Man you should metal detect that place ! Always a pleasure to watch pal thanks for taking us along
Old house, old cars, old mining shaft ... what's not to be loved!!! Truly fascinating place!
Brilliant guy's who would of though a bottle digging video could be that exciting,
The house looks 1900 to 1920s to me. That old tarpaper siding was Indicative of the early 1900s. Interesting explore, the cave is interesting! But the cars were awesome!!!💖
That was awesome! But your braver than me, I wouldn't have gone past the first header that was gone ! LOL! Thanks for sharing!
That house reminds me of my grandmother's house although to start out it was an old shotgun house. Sound familiar? Even had to use the outhouse. Cold in winter. We had upgraded to toilet paper from the Sears catalog though. Loved that house.
Wow! Too cool! All of it!!💜💜💜 thank you for sharing!!
You really need to talk the property owner out of that clock in the car,it would look so cool hanging on your wall above your bottles.
We’re trying to get the whole car! Haha
Yeah I was gonna say. Don’t test it apart more save that whole car or call Derrick from vice grip garage
Wow enjoyed that stay safe out there , thanks for sharing Brandon..
Hi Brandon the 55 bel air was the first V8 Chevrolet was a huge success at the time and continues to be one of the most desirable cars ever made.
Very cool!!
Actually, chevy made a V8 in 1917.
Enjoyed the video...... moonshiners site was the bomb ‼️💥
Anytime I see a old home site, I wonder where the hand dug well is.
What a cool site to hunt. Very interesting site. Loved the old truck. 🙌🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 oh heavens that cave was sketchy. Glad you to got out safe. ~ Texas
U should keep an eye out for old traps. I'm sure they had a few set. No cameras back then and kids played out alone in the woods all day without supervision.
I like the idea mentioned of detecting around the house and mine site! Maybe you’d find some old silver coins. 🤞
Man, that place was sketchy but cool. Might be a good place to bring a metal detector to find coins and buttons before it's completely unstable. Wish you found some jars there. I agree with Annette, I think the house is around 1900. Gotta be a privy there.
Definitely will be something we return to hunt!
@@adventurearchaeology you better!
Man I'd love to get my detector out there ahh just to see the place would be awesome
@@adventurearchaeology can't wait!
I would have bailed at the first sight of one of those cave crickets!
The bats don't bother me but when you saw those critter prints...I would have been out of there really fast! (Wouldn't have been gutsy enough to go past that sketchy entrance either!)
Great video!! That mine is definitely an adventure for another day!!
Definitely!!
The cave is interesting, I would love to take a stroll through it.
Been waiting for a new video. I love exploring old sites like this. It would be awesome to come down and explore with you
Great video, did you ever figure out what those foot prints went to
So much history! I love those vehicles!! I’d love to have them and restore them if they weren’t so far gone. What an awesome adventure!!
Happy Friday Brandon! Thanks for another awesome video for me to watch, much appreciated bro 😎!!
Thanks James! Have a great weekend Man!
That was crazy. Great video with an awesome story behind the property. This was one of your best adventures.
Fly a drone down the tunnel. See what's farther down there.
I graduated in 69 and went to Alabama to spend the summer with my dad's family and I remember going into town to hang out like small town kids do and I remember meeting the local moonshine. My sons told me it was still occurring in the mid 70s. Deep central county. Lots goes on in those towns that a lot don't know about, you know?
You’re exactly right!
Gotta love a classic truck. Especially when it's green
Very interesting! The automobiles were an awesome find!!
My dad has been restoring a 48 Chevy pickup and man is it something to look at. Just about everything is original except a few things here and there. Love the old cars and trucks
Dang, that was dangerous in that cave. It didn't look that big until you showed him standing. I could never go in there, claustrophobic. Fun walk about.
Looks Awesome, can see very well, only can’t tell depth or distance well!!
Nice exploration. Thanks for the video and be safe!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
New subscriber here. Youns are brave to go in that old mine. God bless
Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure 👍
It’s awesome that Casey knows what he’s looking at with cars, so many archaeology guys on TH-cam are really clueless about stuff like that. Y’all just seem to have more common sense than most, and for that you’ve gained a subscriber and viewer.
Welcome to the channel!
That was awesome! Ten years ago I would have jumped at the chance to go into that mine. Pretty sure I have somehow become claustrophobic so a little anxiety clicked in just watching you. The sound the water made running and trickling down was really cool also
What an adventure!!! That was crazy interesting. I hope your friend can somehow get ownership of that car and rehabilitate it.
He’s talking with the landowners about it haha!
@@adventurearchaeology Glad to hear of someone going about it the right way! Too many people just assume an old car in the woods belongs to noone and takes them. Abadoned does not mean someone does not own it still! It has happened to me with some cars we had stored on property in the middle of nowhere a few hours from home. Went to check condition on some parts for my '67 chevy pickup resto before buying new ones and someone had taken all three of the parts trucks I had stored out there.
Brandon, what a cool video! That was so cool seeing those old vehicles. And the moonshiners equipment. There's no way in h*'ll that you could've gotten me in that cave. The bats did it for me ugh! Thank you to you and Casey for taking us along with you on your adventure. Take care and BE SAFE. ✌
Hate y’all didn’t find a still, but it was just as interesting to watch anyway. Wonder if the metal detector would turn anything up around there? Enjoyed the video!
Only one way to find out!
Thankyou for sharing your visit with us.
that was an awesome exploration guys ! watched till the end 💥👍🤠🏴☠️
So the dodge truck is a post WW2 military truck. With it originally being olive drab with white markings it is probably US Army. In those era of vehicles, WW2 and post WW2 the number on the hood is not a serial number. When the military ordered vehicles their were lot numbers of an order received from the manufacturer when it was accepted by the military. This number allowed the military to keep track of the lot they received. Individual vehicles numbers were typically stenciled on the bumpers.
Set a game camera up on that entrance!
Great idea!
That was a good video. I didn't know that there were bats in Alabama that's pretty cool.
Oh yah! They’re Cute looking until you think about a series of rabies shots hahaha
@@adventurearchaeology
I just didn't know they were bats in Alabama.
I never planned or intended on touching them at all.
I live in Alabama and I just never seen any.
@@adventurearchaeology
Oh yeah I already took those rabies shots when I was about 9 years old I got bit by a skunk.
Braver than I am. You couldn't force me into that mine/cave. Cool video.
Nice! My daddy rebuilt a 69 Chevelle of course he ask me what color to paint it. Bad idea I said chocolate brown, it was gorgeous he did it with sparkles in it.
The house is 1920s look at the doors. The siding is 1920s , great old cars , great video
That would be an incredible place to swing a detector. FYI the older vehicles had the year model stamped into the tail lights. If the 1955 had tail lights there would have been a 55 stamped into them!
The Chevies of the '50s & '60s are easily identifiable 1953-66. That was obviously a 1955.
@@tomfrazier1103 you're correct. That is obviously a 1955 Chevy to someone that knows cars but not everyone knows car year models. I was just giving a tip to Brandon for future use!
@@jerrydineen2827 Dates are found on windshields and other glass too. They are on taillights because those often changed yearly in the days when stylists ran the show.
Going by the asphalt siding on the backside it's anywhere from the 30's to the 50's but more likely the 40's to the 50's. Love old homesites ❤
I would say about 1915 - 1930 on the house. But like you said there could have been addons over the years. Sweet car
That was so cool. Thanks for sharing this.
That was a fun adventure. I would love to have that Dodge. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care. ✌️
Me too that truck is amazing!
That's pretty cool. He said it might be a 49. I got a 53 Dodge. those are some cool cars.
They are awesome!!
Sweet I found a recent video lol I wanted to ask a question if you see this comment. When you refer to AB on an old beer bottle are you feeling to anhuiser bush?
Going into a sketchy mine like that???? Somehow...NO! comes to my mind!!! Fun adventure Brandon but I'm betting your lovely wife gave you a major case of "The Look" for going in there...but in Virginia, it's easy finding moonshiners sites....it's just called Southwestern Virginia!!! They were EVERYWHERE there!
Take care, be safe and God bless, Brandon!
Whoa! I’m relieved you guys got out of that cave safely. 😮
Once a happy home where people lived and loved, all gone now ,I wonder where they all went .😇
I would love to have that 55 from a glance it looks like it could be saved even the truck has good bones
Love this one.Was bit scared for you guys as you ventured into that cave. But then thought that if you are posting I guess you made it out alive. Keep up with the good videos and interesting content.
Those older vehicles have parts that are getting harder and harder to find for projects! Like the guages in the dash and trim pieces and what not
Awesome video. Love learning the history of that property.
Crawling along that mineshaft made me nervous. Can't imagine what y'all felt like! Great video though. Thanks
Thx for the adventure. Loved seeing the bats, cars and hearing the history. My GG Grandparents brought their family from MO in 1887 to WA. My GGGpa was born in AL.
AWSOME is all I can say.....and thank you both!!
Love the history!! Thank goodness good shine is being made in Georgia today!! I know other states run shine also. My son got a bottle of shine that is just gorgeous. It's as clean as can be and I do enjoy good shine!
Got to admit you had me holding my breath and on the edge of my seat.😬😝 All I kept thinking was y'all need to get out of there. 😳 In the future, if the cave isn't supported it should be considered an automatic do not enter. Too much at stake vs the risk of a cave in. You've become like family to a lot of your viewers, we just care about your safety!! 😎
It looks just like my house. Mine was built in 1888.
That is awesome that you found the old shine stuff. It is legal under Missouri law to distill up to 100 gallons a year. And 200 gallons if you are married. However it is still against federal law.
I love these videos, I could watch them all day. Makes me want to get out there!
I was having claustrophobia the farther you went! You should have one of the mini headlamps with you at all times! We have them and use them as work lights, for traveling and in an unfamiliar hotel room and to keep in our bedside tables, in case of a power outage.
You guys are always great. Thanks for the videos
Absolutely awesome video Brandon! Casey sure finds some interesting locations!
He really does!
Sorry you got freaked out by the cave crickets. They're really cool.
What an awesome adventure!
Thanks Joe!
Great video fellas!!
Thanks Bob!
That was fun. Be careful. Our old house is from about 1880 and has had some brick pillars added along the edges probably 1940's. I totally agree that it probably started as a one room cabin on stones and then was added on to through the years.
Moonshiners never kept a mason jar that had the number 13 on them
Unlucky 😎
Bullshit they careless about what number on a jar .
Great video glad I watched. Gonna watch more of your videos, my grandfather was a bottle collector/digger in west central Florida. Brings back lots of fond memories! He found lots of old digging sites down here in Florida , some of them dating back to early spanish colonial period.
Welcome to the channel!
Early Spanish sites are a great place to find gold and silver coins
@@jq7323 Too bad my grandfather didn't have a metal detector back then! He just had a long metal probe with a small ball bearing on the end so it wouldn't chip the bottles. Imagine how many coins he missed lol
Support beams broke, no problem, bats everywhere, no problem, coyote prints, let's get the heck outta here. Lol, I love your videos. I got some weird looks laughing out loud watching this at work. Stay safe out there!
I thought the same
Tight spot - low light - Coyote !
Run 🏃♂️ Run like hell !!
I'm a car guy too really liked the truck an the 55 Chevy. And nothing will get your adrenaline pumping like walking into an old house and having the floor collapse on you that's the fastest I've moved in years getting out of there.
Get a drone pilot to investigate it. It looks large enough.
It hurts to see those vehicles rotting.
Really does!
That 55 Chevy is close to be in a original NASCAR….
It’s an awesome car!
Thanks for the great adventure, was really interesting. 🇺🇸 wish you could have gone farther in but at the same time I’m glad you didn’t. Being unprepared for that makes things very sketchy. You guys did great!
That old mine needs to be blown up and sealed. Those antique cars should be purchased and then sold to someone who would resurrect them as moonshiners vehicles - that's real history rotting away in the woods.
That old mine has as much history in it as those old cars are worth, would you blow up the old dangerous rusty cars as well?
That was exciting ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Must be cricket bats 🤔 I don’t know who the owners of the house were trying to kid with the stone look siding on that house 😝cheers Brandon 🍻
Lol you mean that wasn't real?!? hahaha
Major pucker factor watching the mine part of this video!!! As a kid, I wouldn't have thought twice about going in there. As an adult, I remembered to breathe when you both were out of the mine!! I love how knowledgeable you guys are and how you bring these places to life. Awesome video and stay safe guys!
Gentleman,, kudos,,but safety first,,,
As you showed with the Tide car sticker , and that TV also proves . This property was used until at least the early 60's . That foundation by the old still could have been an out bldg for stock and turned into a location to store shine goods ... maybe . Cool old mine . Can't believe you are out there unarmed . Not me !! :D Stay safe guys ....
Also remember they'd need ventilation if they were operating a still in that mine. They'd probably be burning wood or coal so you definitely wouldn't want that burning way in the back. You'd end up gassing yourself out! It'd have to be located right near the entrance. I know a guy who found one in a copper mine in my area. It was located right near a stope cave in so there was a proper air supply. There was also a huge pile of clinker nearby as well as some pop bottles for filling
Best Video yet! Great job..
