- Metal Detecting to find Native American "Pyramid" Site!
This week we head out with our Metal Detectors to find the location of an old Black Smith shop! By finding this shop it will help us pinpoint where a Native American structure called the Alabama Pyramids is. We believe to have found both sites in this video!
#history #metaldetecting #metaldetect
I grew up in an old farmhouse that was built on a hill in the late 1800’s. Around 1920, the owners decided to dig a driveway through the mound. Their grandson told my parents they unearthed several skeletons in the mound. The area has several Native American sites of camps and burial grounds. It was such a cool place to grow up in.
My mom told me once about one of the houses she grew up in having some burial mounds on the property. That was Kentucky I think
Would of love to seen more of that adventure...yes please go back & metal Detecting around the blacksmith area...when it gets
warmer walk that creek ❤❤❤
Metal detect and explore it all except burial ground. Thank you for being so respectful.✌❤😊
Thumbs Up. My great great grandfather was a blacksmith in west Tennessee in middle to latter 1800’s. I’m always interested in seeing items made or repaired from those days.
Great video today!!! A lot of history right there. Take care
Very interesting! Loved learning about the history in this spot. Thank you!
Love seeing the history of the area! Thanks to you and your friends!
What a cool place and video! Thanks for sharing!
Cool I was born in a town which has the tallest cylindrical burial mound in the world of native people. I'm part native from my grandparents on my mother's side, but this place is from a different tribe.
Fine show, man 👊!! I don't know what I'd do first...
Probably explore the creek, after the leaves get washed down.....😎✌🍀
All of the things you mentioned. Good video
Was that cut in the rocks in line with the blacksmith shop site? If so, that could have been where they got their water power from. On a side note, lots of rain here yesterday. Hopefully your creek got washed like you you wanted it to.
Great history lesson.
It sure was!
Great leg work! That's what it's about.
That was a cool piece of history Brandon. I could actually see the Indians carrying the stones!
I looked up wizard refrigerators . Looks like they were made in the 1950’s
Awesome!!! Blacksmiths had to make a run to the border after eating Taco Bell burritos. Might be a privy with old bottles at the blacksmith shop. Might be worth while to probe out.😊❤
Explore around the creek and the black smith site.
Cool
The blacksmith shop I found had tons of broke horseshoes and files.
WV and OHIO have lots of Indian, Mounds if you're interested you tube has several videos Eiffage mounds in the shape of Birds and Animals.
There is a creek 3 or 4 miles south of my little town in S.W. Missouri and an old guy who I knew has told us about all the many points and other Native American relics that he found there over the years. That creek where you all were at would probably give you a few interesting historical finds. Plus, with the nearby smithy, there is probably more iron near, or in it. If you can get permission to walk the creek and also metal detect it, it would make for an interesting video! History is my thing anymore, so any kind of artifacts that date back a hundred or more years is very interesting, even if it's just a rusty metal piece! ❤
Are ya'll sure it's a burial ground? Looks more like where a small village would be. The impression in the ground looks like where a ceremoni/meeting lodge would have been. When the Spanish invaded they found many different villages that way in Ala. Is there any actual records of it actually being a burial site? I know some mounds found in Georgia were not burial sites but places where counsel houses stood. Some were built as holy places also. Just really curious about it!❤
According to all of the articles it is……
Look for bottles in the creek up and down go back to the black smith spot
Alfred Nobel was Swedish discovered dynamite in Sweden 😉
Wasn't Wizard an old product brand of Sears?
Not sure maybe another commenter will chime in!
♥
Detect the blacksmith shop!
I'm glad you guys didn't dig those mounds, that would be the same as digging up a modern cemetery
It's a people before the America Indians that were European middle eastern and built pyramids with lunar alignments from the time of Abraham of the old testament bible.
Explore the Native American site I live in Ohio we’ve got serpent mound
When I was little my grandparents bought a farm with several rock covered graves. You could tell they were prehistoric or pre-european. Just like you found at the area you were at there were no rocks close by, they were hauled in. Love the finds from the blacksmith shop, some of what you found could have been a cache the blacksmith kept incase he needed metal for a job. Keep them coming you make my Friday for sure
Very interesting in Alabama, those creeks alone is fascinating. Keep on checking out the grounds and work your way to the creek. The Creek may give you interesting old relics of Indian artifacts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Awesome video, very interesting!!!!
I find this interesting! I recently purchased property in the upstate Carolina, the area along the spring fed creeks have many many rock piles, some small some big, my thoughts are maybe they where stacked there to clear the property for farming but after clearing a small lot for a house i have found several interesting articles of native American points along with lots of crystals and rare gems, got me wondering if this was village!?
Blacksmith shop means bottle dump? I hope you guys look for a dump!✊
I'd say yes to all !! And ide love to see more videos like this... yall keepem coming and please be safe out their.
Love when you do video's like this.
I would search the actual creek I have found alot of arrow heads wash out of the banks of the creeks here in illinois
Very interesting, Brandon!❤
Love it keep it up Brandon
Super interesting spot Brandon! Yes! More metal detecting the blacksmith shop!
Hope you have a brilliant brilliant weekend 👍 hope all the family are well 😊
I love the history and having someone to be able to document it.
Do more at blacksmith area.
Yallare running around very close to where I grew up , east of where you are, is Sellers Alabama, right on hw 331. On the west side of 331 are several mounds. Don't know who owns that land any more. There are also some mounds over south of Ramer. And some of those washed out and artifacts ended up in the creek, near Grady. We used to walk the creek and pick up half pots, made by the mound builders. I think it's cool y'all are looking at those old mounds. They are 2 to 4 thousand yrs. Coming from an Archeologist I knew.
If there is a blacksmith shop. There must be a settlement nearby. Looking elsewhere would be great.
Just like you said... "Amazing History"! Great video.
I believe this is more common throughout Appalachia. On our mountain I have chosen not to disturb the rock piles in assumption it was sacred in nature but always wondered!! Many stone artifacts including portable stone pictograph and have no idea who to contact about finds of this nature.
Well I certainly enjoyed this video Brandon! It makes you rethink about our history in detail! Thanks again.
Cool history Brandon. I would hunt around the creek. Never know what you will find.
Definitely a cool video. May they all continue to rest in peace.
I’d love to see you dig the blacksmith shop.
Great bit of adventure this week Brandon
Keep looking around the smithy area , you may have hit the scrap , there has to be coal and an ash dump somewhere in that area, may find some tools .
Awesome !! Thanks for taken us !!😊😊😊😊
Love the history! Brandon. Much respect
If conquistadors dug that pit..that of course would have been DeSotos people..the Entrada was in Alabama..and here they had a large battle with the natives..Sotos people had previous experience rifling mounds having done so at the Taylor's mound at mulberry plantation near Camden SC while they were traveling through that region
For sure Desoto Caverns isn’t terribly far away!
It's amazing how Pyramids are worldwide
I would definitely walk the creek this Fall and then again after the water goes down next Spring. Then i would start at the blacksmith forge and work from there. I would keep an eye out for the layout of the town just to draw a better picture. Thanks for the great video!❤❤❤❤
When I was younger, I loved walking through the woods exploring for whatever I could find. If I were you, my first choice would be to thoroughly metal detect the blacksmith area, then I would just explore the rest of the area.
Really enjoyed this adventure man! That rock overhand reminds me of the book Hatchet.
A change of pace ,Thanks for the history lesson. It's a wonder a university hasn't been out there poking around in reason past and if there's a local tribe in the area that visit there ?
This site was forgotten and the only reason Casey found it was he was reading a 1899 newspaper and stumbled across the story.
Really enjoyed wondering through the woods with you all, checking out the blacksmith and burial grounds.
Thank you 💕
I would metal detect the blacksmith area some more and when it gets warmer go up and down the creek.
Dont have to drill to use dynomite if cracks exzist. That is where the dynomite was used to break the larger chunks into movable peaces. Plus it's good to note everyone in the day knew how to use dynomite and it was easaly purchased pluss it was cheap too. So blasting open a crack or just to crack the larger strata up from blasting ontop of it was no big deal.
Man I would have dug that old fridge up!!! That is a great piece! Can be used in many different ways! Very cool! 😎
Very interesting history video. Really did enjoy it, and yes I’d run the machine around the blacksmith shop area. Gotta be something good there!
If the hills could talk.... Definitely do a little more exploring.
Very cool history about the pyramids. Yes, please go back to the blacksmith. :--)
I would be interested in detecting(theoretically) around the excavation to see if the conquistador legend could be verified.
Do some more detecting around the blacksmith shop and explore up and down the river !
I sure enjoyed the walk in the woods... and certainly enjoyed the story and your finds .if permission is there, I'd enjoy more finds from the blacksmith shop...🥰🥰
you guys should sift underneath the overhang, probably find some flint chips at least.
This video is so amazing. Very interesting. Is there some kind of camera or something that can take picture of the under ground.
I love history and makes me sick how some people think it’s ok to disturb the dead who was lovenly buried
No bearings that age they would have been all Babbitt bearings
Were i live thier is two old indian clay pits on my land if a farmer plows his field you will find all kinds of artifacts
I love road trips...bring more please!
Great video, great exploration!!!
I would hunt the creek for artifacts
Try to id what you've found so far.😊
Id be looking for arrowheads
Def.check the creek with your detector
Enjoyed the video, thanks!
Definitely both lol.
Hope your okay, snapping a leg back in the woods like that is NEVER a good thing. Tell the family Tommy outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan says "HEY". GO BLUE!!!
Thankfully I have tree trunks for legs haha! I walk and hike so much my legs are strong. I imagine if it would’ve been anyone else that may not be as active they would’ve been at the ER.
🎉❤😊
Makes me sad that people would even think to dig up someone’s grave. That’s so messed up
Agreed!
cool video. I'm from the northeast and have been doing research on these kinds of rock piles and visiting similar sites. Those connected to native cultures aren't always burial-related. Many mark underground water systems, while others may be used as "portals," marking areas of spiritual significance. If there are many of them, you might find it worth visiting them before sunrise on the solstices and/or equinoxes as you may find at sunrise, they are positioned in a way related to the sun.
@michaeltrotta841 I like your point of view on this. Are you located in Northeast Alabama?
@@bobblemarley7866 New York. My wife is currently working to save a forest from development, and there are a ton of these "rock piles." we've had native visitors and anthropologists visit the land, and they have confirmed these piles to be of significance. I've been told that burial mounds may also consist of piles of stones but often look different in their placement and size. I'm no expert - just a curious learner, but as far as I understand, burial mounds often have smaller (baseball-sized stones) piled low to the ground and look the size of a grave. Context clues in the landscape help to differentiate between graves and piles of stones left by farmers who cleared their fields of them. Either way, I love the mystery of it and appreciate your videos. Keep it up!
I would detect the creek itself! Right down from the split in the rocks near the forge. And expand out around the forge. There was probably more structures around.
Wish I could have been on this adventure. Super cool. I would investigate the creek more.
Thank you Brandon for sharing this with me and showing respect by not taking your metal detectors with you to the possible burial site !
👍🙏>>>💚~~~ Thank You Love it
I'd look for Native American artefacts along the creek just to confirm that there is indeed activity there. I would also like to see more evidence that was a blacksmith and not just a lumber camp, which the stuff you all found so far could still be. Interesting video, didn't know there were mounds that far south in Alabama, up here in Missouri they are all over and are a fascinating part of our ancient history.
We have some amazing mounds that are located in an archaeological park. Maybe I should do a video there.
The initial rock piles at the beginning looked like a pretty natural formation to me. Fun video!
stop saying holy crap.......this offensive language.....take some english courses......
I would dig up the burial sites
