    Leo, about 1/4 of a mile before you get up Horsepen from 44 there is a cutoff that leads down into a holler and goes all the way back to the mountain itself.
    The Estep family lives in the last house up the holler and their daughter, Margaret Estep Horn, is a good friend of mine.
    We were always told as children that this is the holler where the horses were found and the tribe killed? Daddy told us this story in the early 1960’s.

    Awesome finds. I watched the one last evening where you were explaining your vocabulary and accent. We mountain and country folk don't have accents or speak funny the rest of the world does. I'm originally from the foothills of NC and spent a lot of growing up in the mountains of NC Tenn and Virginia and never thought I had an accent but then we moved to Florida and I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years at the service desk and the longer and later in the day I worked I would get tarred and then apparently my accent got wurs cause my customer and coworkers would tease me. I just smiled and said bless your lil heart it's you guys who talk funny. Love your adventure accents and all.

    Good video Leo and Dan, when you find out what the coin Leo found beside the road is, let us all know! On that road, the company I worked for started to put a mine in, at the end of the road. I helped by loading the shots, as we blasted the road and mine area, for reclamation. It is hard to say, how many bullets and arrowheads, we shot over that mountain. I would say that the whole mountain is loaded with relics! God Bless you guys and you to Heather, Happy Easter! (Glen). WV.

    Hey Leo and Danny, enjoyed the video and a great find upon Horsepen Mountain. The musket balls you found were used in both the pistol and long rifles. As for the flat spots on the balls that was made when the musket it’s self was made, there were several ways for making musket balls one being the single shoot and the tool used to make these balls also made the flat spot.

    Hi guys! Happy and Blessed Easter to you and your family!Many blessings to all of you!!! I hope you enjoyed your day. I know thus story about Chief Cornstalk. It was never his fault though they (white settlers) they started it. Didn't the chief put a curse on land from this? Chief Cornstalk always tried very hard to not only be oeaceful but to also be their friends. He truly was a sign of peace between the two peoples. He wa an extraordinary man. So, good story as always. Have a very blessed night! Love to all of you and your families!!!😊😘❤️🙏🙏🙏🤟✝️🕊🌹🌹👻

    The larger musket balls looked like they were .69 caliber. Very popular round used by the Confederates during the Civil War. I don't think there was much if any Civil War activity in that area, but they could have been dropped by someone hunting 150-200+ years ago. Finding one round ball is a good day, let alone several plus a couple of arrowhead fragments. Congratulations on some good finds! Hard to tell from the video, but the smaller ones may have been part of a "buck and ball" load, which was used from the late 1700s through the Civil War era.
    At 20:49, the high-low tone was probably a big chunk of aluminum. Those can sound nice, but that low tone on the back side gives it away.

    You guys sure have a lot of fun great video. I was really interested in the blood root. I've always wanted to learn more about different natural herbs edibles medicines. Maybe you could do a video on that stuff and explain how its used. We have some things here in Ks. but not like you have there.

    I'm wondering if some of those smaller balls are from modern buckshot. That first one with the flat spot looked like it may be modern buckshot and may have hit a metal sign or something steel to leave that much of a flat spot. The one that looked almost white is probably really old.
