We Visited An Indian Burial Ground And You Won't Believe What We Found.

- While visiting my brother in Venice Florida, he took me to visit a historical archeological site. I believe it is Florida State owned property (per Google Earth), and is a well-known American Indian burial ground. A large area has recently been looted, apparently in broad daylight, and witnessed by many people walking near the beach.

People would freak the hell out if someone decided to dig up grandma and grandpa to take their wedding rings and other valuables and possessions..this is grave robbery, plain and simple!
This isnt, its showing what the robbers did
hate to see your neighbor wearing your grannys teeth around his neck?
More like preserving their culture before it turns to dust but whatever
@@rogerd4559 if I did I would be wearing his around Mine a long with his scalp from my belt
Not if you're archeologist
Huge difference between relic hunting and grave robbing.
people dig up tombs from egyptians and put stuff in musiams and viking graves whats the differants
+Cameron Mayne Archaeology is different from grave robbing fool.
You think these people are putting this stuff in museums? They're putting it on their fireplace mantle.
+Cameron Mayne
> The pieces uncovered help us celebrate and learn about forgotten aspects of these ancient and sometimes misunderstood cultures.
> The ancestors of the Egyptians and Vikings peoples are far more removed from the beliefs of their ancestors and no longer hold the areas as sacred or as something that is culturally sensitive and best left undisturbed
> These will end up in a shoebox and possibly lost; professional digs end up in archived and catalogued collections (for usually public or academic entities) or museums.
> People working in professional digs actually treat the artifacts with some damned respect.
None of these points apply to what is happening here.
Grave robbers is stealing artifacts. Relic hunting is looking for the artifacts. He even said "the Rangers must do there jobs and stop the grave robbers"
+REMNLY82 What do you think of the people who unearthed the things in King Tuts tomb?
And a man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, “We do not like to see you so sad, ask of us whatever you wish and you shall have it.” The man said, “I want to have good sight.” The vulture replied, “You shall have mine.” The man said, “I want to be strong.” The jaguar said, “You shall be strong like me.” Then the man said “I long to know the secrets of the earth.” The serpent replied, “I will show them to you.” And so it went with all the animals. And when man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals “now the man knows much and is able to do many things, suddenly I am afraid.” The deer said, “The man has all that he needs; now the sadness will stop.” But the owl replied, “No I saw a hole in the man, deep like a hunger he will never fill, it is. What makes him sad and makes him want.” “He will go on taking until one day the world will say, “I am no more and I have nothing left to give.”
Very well told!!! ❤
I agree with you 100% The damage those people are doing is just disgusting and sad. I don't understand how people can be so cruel and uncaring about someone's sacred grounds. The law in that area really needs to get on the ball and put a stop to it.
Thanks for sharing
Roy
Thank you for that comment I am a Native American,Cherokee actually and I argree
+Keaven nelson
It's time for the Chrokee to chip in or be silent. Or should it be the Seminole or, or?
+WachdByBigBrother maybe u should do every1 a favour and keep your racist comments to yourself. If someone was robbing your families grave, would u go and guard the grave yourself or would u expect the authorities to do something about it as they should. each time a native american has made a comment u'v shut them down. im feeling the racist undertones in your comments.
+Keaven nelson Cherokee! love!
Dude, nothing racist was said. Tell me what was racist.
Sacred ground should be Sacred. People have no respect.
all those ignorant & greedy idiots will collect their karma , no doubt
Respect? This isn't even human decency! I hear ya.
Just like the great pyramids? History is meant to be discovered. But I do disagree with the looting.
BS
They were sacred to the Indians who found them, but they're not Indian mounds, even the Indians knew this and said so
Give a copy to the county so they can see what is happening, the whole place should be fenced in
Grave robbing has been happening for a long time, especially in Egypt. American Indians are disregarded and disrespected again, when will it end.
There is a certain type of people who really do not believe in nothing at all, just in for making money for themselves. they are not degging for knowledge or wonder how these amazing individuals buried here how they lived.
We will not rest until Yahweh calls us to the great hunting ground in the sky.
It's not just the grave robbing,. Lord help,
Please don't disrespect Indians.. I don't know which place this is.. I'm an Indian and we respect our dead relatives.. We devote them on special festivals and we feed animals and birds in be half of dead lovable people..
No one cares about respect ect, people will pervert any and all things....pray for those misguided souls, they will have their judgement with the creator.
Oh gosh.This was sickeningly eye opening.I feel the same way that you do.Just gut wrenching.Thank you for bringing this to the publics attention.
That is very bad juju to be digging up Indian burial grounds.....😖 whoever dug those will some major bad karma.
That was one of my favorite guns in destiny 1
sarahrose, guess their hearts are as cold as their eyes are blind. I was watching a vid from July 2018 of exploring with Josh and his friend from Exploring w/Fighters (UK crew) had taken a sword on a previous trip to a cave in the Islands and he had Nothing but Bad Things Happen to him, so as it should be, he rightfully returned it to the cave whence it came, with good intentions and a heartfelt declaration that he would never repeat an act such as that again. This incident shook his world. It changed that young man's outlook on what "Respect for those that have come before" is, altering forever his view of life itself. I give him respect for that.
sarahrose0413 ...sooooo true
sarahrose0413 So very TRUE. When the bad juju hits a thought will go through that person’s mind reminding them of their theft. Graves are sacred,hollowed ground that has to be respected.
I believe in Instant Karma, but sometimes it's not fast enough
It really pisses me off as part of my heritage is Indian. Even though I am a Dakota I I despise the people that did this to this tribes Sacred Ground. Thanks Aquachigger for posting this.
Anthony Momsen ...we are all s sovereign nation. I am Oglala and those people are damned now with nightmares and skin walkers. I'll smoke to that.
really ur Dakota Indian?I'm black foot and Cherokee Indian but this vids is crazy to I agree
Make me very angry too.
Pretty sure this guy pillaged as well
donald curry He said "part of his heritage". Some people are mixed. It's best to not judge others especially when we don't know them
Send this video to the Seminole Indian Tribe Headquarters
+TractorMan104 I agree ,that would be a start. This tribe suffered in their life and disrespected in death. What a shame, how people have sunk so low as to rob graves is the lowest . Did you ever listen to John Andersons song The Seminole Wind ? It is a touching song, done years ago but you can find it yet today.
+TractorMan104 I'm seminole not much, so I don't have connection with the tribe, but this needs to be brought to the tribe someone needs to treat this like a real cemetery.
+TractorMan104 Probably not Seminoles buried there.
ProjecthuntanFish
maybe not since they was relocated from alabama i read, but they may have an idea as to which tribe it is exactly.
+viking Mckim Wrong seminoles are the originals indians from florida, They comprise three federally recognized tribes and independent groups, most living in Oklahoma with a minority in Florida. The Seminole nation emerged in a process of ethnogenesis out of groups of Native Americans, most significantly Creek from what are now northern Muscogee.
During their early decades, the Seminole became increasingly independent of other Creek groups and established their own identity. they didnt come from alabama.
A sign that reads "CAUTION: LANDMINES" is much scarier than one asking people not to dig.
Hello, if your reading this have a great day!
+Carson Lyrics Have done!
Thank you ! Same to you friend .
+Carson Lyrics I have read it and wish you a great day as well!
thanks i will
+Carson Lyrics How dare you. I'll have any kind of day I like.
If you can't respect the dead then you can't respect anything in life. It makes me sick too!
Yea I hate people that steal artifacts
baby ouranagatangs
Give me a break. King Tut would still be in the ground.
I'm positive the dead Indians don't care
People from the beginning of time, have been grave-robbing.
HeyyBrey 😢
I find all of your video's educational and enjoyable as I'm sure others do as well. In this vid you raised awareness to whats going on and where. Thank you!
Beau, I lived in Venice from 1989 to 2005. I dove the coast for fossils and megalodon teeth. (Peace River too.) The place you're walking is not a burial ground. That area is all dredge material from the intracoastral waterway which almost makes it an "island' at Caspersen Beach. The dredge ground you're walking on in the video is fossil formations dating back to the Miocene from the bottom of the intracostal waterway dredged back in the 50's. The holes you see are from people digging and sifting for fossil shark teeth. Until the early 2000's, fossil digging back there was never an issue and I dug all over there for 10 years or more and only found fossil shark teeth. There was never a trace of any indian remains found by myself, nor any of the many of my friend fossil collectors who also explored there. The reason that it's referred as an 'Indian Burial Ground' is because of the folks not filling in their holes and Sarasota County police patrolling in that area on 4 wheelers would have problems not seeing the holes in time to avoid a spill. They patrolled that area not due to the fossil collectors, but because of the area also being a hangout for gay men to do all kinds of things in broad daylight. I remember walking through some brush and witnessing an example quite unexpectedly and moving quickly along. I write on a site and I mention dredge collecting in the catagory 'The Fossil Years' on 1780farmhouse.com. I first dug one of several waterway dredge fields back in 1984, I knew all of the places there. That is not an indian burial ground. That's the excuse used to keep fossil collectors out due to the holes. The black hardened sand you held was chipped coming through the dredge pipe. The tribe in the Venice area were Calusa, about 2000 years ago. Offshore, I have found megalodon teeth formed into spearpoints and their pottery.
Thanks for your videos. God Bless you!!!
its sick how some people are greedy. I hope they are haunted by all the people they dug around.
They are, probably now.
I hope the diggers gets a real pissed off INDIAN GHOST following them home. I wouldn't touch that stuff for respect, and I'm just not that stupid. Their gonna be sorry, so disrespectful, I'm sure that how those people live their lives, just taking from people. How do they know just where to dig?
They probably just randomly picked a spot.
I've had experience with that as my parents house was built over an old burial ground. Didn't know that for years.
yea ,bad things will happen to them when they did to our burial grounds digging .
I wonder. If they did.get spirits haunting them. I doubt they d. figure out they would need help of medicine man, mediums or any other beings that would help in this situation....
There's no such thing as ghosts,silly
I have lived in that area in my younger years, that area was well know for megladon teeth. many a times you would see people carry buckets of shark teeth from that area. I have never seen any one carry anything native american from that site. In fact if you did find some thing from a burial there, you would have been forced to leave it. But no one ever found anything there American Indian wise that i know of. But if you really want to know what was in those holes, go up and down main street Venice and look at all the stuff for sale in the shops. BTW, the Indian Burial Ground so to speak, was made that by the city to try to stop people from digging for teeth and shells. The main fact is,they didn't cover their holes like a treasure hunter is suppose to. That is not a site for an Indian Burial Ground, nor is it a site for a village. If it was or is, where is the proof? I have asked that many a time as a child, young adult and now as an adult an no one has come up with proof that it was either. I am not defending these people who have no morals and will dig at a known burial site, but most of us Floridians know it is not what the city wants you to believe it is. no one has come forward with any artifacts of American Indian burial or village from that part/area of the coast line. And just to make matters a little more interesting, how do so many people still dig in that area every day and not get in trouble? If you are gonna be upset over vandalizing a burial site, make sure it is a real one, because if that was a real one, there would be a lot of people in jail for it. go visit one of our local museums, you will see artifacts, pictures, times and so on. All known burial sites in Florida are protected, quit believing the lie people. Quit being pigs, cover your holes back up, carry out your trash, leave nothing but footprints, and if you do find something native, check with the locals in the area before you remove it. You might be removing a part of my history.
The people that live in the area should take a stand, demand that it be stopped... Not just shake there heads and walk away... Thanks Beau For sharing...
That is just heartbreaking. Unfortunately, it happens a lot. My son majored in geo-science in college and his area of concentration was archaeology. He became involved in a project to identify and classify bits and pieces of materials found in mounds that were once privately owned. Most of the bits were small pieces of bone that had once been in burial mounds. The project was winding up when he graduated and the remains were turned over to a group of Native Americans to re-bury them. The state of Kentucky now owns the land and oversees and maintains the area The Native Americans held a private ceremony and my son was thrilled to receive an invitation. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend. A lot of people see dollar signs when they find out about mounds, caves, overhangs and such and have no respect whatsoever for an important part of history and the final resting places of our first settlers. Disgusting!.
Ten it would be legitament. That is for the good of society.
Digging in a burial mound you will be cursed
Thanks for putting this out! I appreciate your effort
i grew up on and still own and live on about 5000 acres in Texas adjacent to Ft Hood..we have a beautiful creek running through the middle and there was obviously A LOT of indian activity here a century ago. It is 5000 acres so is pretty big but there are 2 separate mounds about 100 yards from the creek that i have found pottery pieces around without digging. One time i was exploring through the creek and noticed a small hole in the stone creek wall..i reached in and found a small rock that had been hand painted..it was in the wall and away from the elements so there is no telling how long it had been there..the land has been in my family since the 50s so would have to be longer than that. Anyway i would never dig at the mounds and as long as i am here it wont happen.
*Yet another sign of the rapid breakdown of any semblance of respectful, polite society*
Good on you mate for posting this. Totally with you 100%👍
I'm from London, England and if we were to do something like that it would almost certainly mean prison time, sometimes the past should stay where it is and be respected and taken care of, such a shame, I luv your videos please keep them coming 😊
Look what your country did overseas egypt South Africa, India!
There is a movement in the USA to destroy anything or everything from the past. They want the past to be gone and eradicated.
Some of the old Native Americans were buried with their stuffe like pipes or ornaments. Such old stuff are on big demands. Some of the graves are very very old and an artificat which could be thousands of years old has big price. These graves were not just digged for some small catch they were digged for something really big. ONE LUCKY find means life time earning. So that is why the people who dugged them did not care. The USA government showed have enclosed this area long time ago.
I grew up in this area. It's not really an Indian burial ground behind casperson beach. The diggers are looking for fossils, and some amazing finds have been recovered there. The sign that was removed, sited a law that disturbing and digging and removing anything from a Florida State Park is a punishable offense. The law includes language referring to disturbing burial grounds but that beach didn't have a burial mound. In the 1980's a young boy was injured while digging a deep trench there, while searching for fossils and it caved in on him. That's when the signs went up. You were walking on loose sand brought in from a beach renourishing project half a century ago. That's why there is no significant tree growth around you there. Best fossils are out an 1/8 th of a mile off that beach.
Cyberbronco funny how everyone else takes the "story " for face value and has knee jerk reactions without being informed. We are doomed as a society
Thank you for telling us the facts. you must know cause you lived near there.
You're probably one of the ones digging up Graves.
Well, Darrell Wolf one thing I learned from my Grandmother, is you do not accuse any person of an offense unless you were witness to the act. Were you there Darrell?
@@Johnny_from_RI I agree. IF the lying MSM puts out some propaganda, the masses swallow it like brain candy and afterwards will dismiss any FACTS that are contrary to the MSM lies. Happens continually............
Always enjoy your presentation. This one I hope caughts the right peoples eye. Thanks for the great videos!!!!
Bo, another informative video. I am not in to metal detecting, but love your videos. Yet another informative piece on a subject ( grave robbing in Fla ) that I was not aware of.
It make me sick to see all the indian burial destruction.
we have the same problems here but the state is on top of it and catch a lot of people
its more educational than you thought at first.thanx
I appreciate you taking the time to talk about these practices and why they are not okay (even if that wasn't the original intent). Like you said, this is what gives relic hunters a bad name and its unfortunate. There's a good and bad way to go about things and this is obviously the latter. Your hunting practices are always very respectful and I appreciate that you keep land disturbance to a minimum. You are a role model for others wishing to partake in the hobby. It's good to see this problem being acknowledged. I wish you the best of luck on your hunts and I enjoy the videos!
Oh wow.. this is just sad :(
That's a dam shame there should be rangers on site you would think
I'm glad you put this video up . you just show the world how Indian burial and tribes are being disrespected . this is very sad and hurts my heart how people are so mean and iqnorat . I wish I could use the real words I rather want to use but I have respect for you and your channel. thank you for sharing.😄
Thank You Aquachigger For Documenting this.
I think you need to forward a copy to the BIA, to the major news services, and to the state and local law enforcement offices. If you raise a very public stink, it is much easier to get something done. So, so, sad.
Denise Frickey I agree. Go through the proper channels after notifying the tribe. Do it legal.
as part native american ( cherokee ) it really pisses me off when i see stuff like this !
Kerry Ward "are you really native"???
Definitely looks native too me, almost looks like John redcorn from king of the hill
You all don’t know much about genetics do you? Even a full blooded native can look almost white. It all depends on genetics if you look like one parent or the others heritage. I’ve seen half white half native people I went to school with. She was white white and went to the tanning bed. The only way you’d know she was a native is her bluish black hair and her eyes. Girl was gorgous but you can skip out on genetic lottery. A lot of people have native blood and don’t even know it. It’s just like black people all claiming they descend from slaves when most of the black who immigrating to the US never had one relative as a slave but still claims it with no proof. You can’t proof that type of stuff unless you get your genetics analyzed and know your family tree. My great great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee and one cousin who has not connection to her claims that heritage and even stole money from the fund to go to college on. They didn’t make her do any tests at all. This grandmother was on a side of the family that’s my side but if you were to argue with some idiot Miller’s in Kentucky about it they’d say no that was their grandmother not mine when I actually had the blood lines verified by genetics and thru a ancestors specialist. A lot of people claim something they aren’t and steal things from land where Natives Americans used to frequent with no regard to other people. Native American won’t get what is their back unless they start fighting for it. The blacks are doing it and winning so why can they?
I am Native. Thank you for posting this Nation wide problem. The desecration of our Ancestors resting place sickens me. Wado, for your post. I and my wife enjoy going with you in spirit. Safe hunting Brother.
Hi there, Chigg!! love your videos, love your adventures a lot. It's really cool watching you explore and find things and explain. Have you ever been to a place called the Caddo? it's in Arkansas. It's a nice river, I bet lots of people lose things. know we have. anyway, I just thought I might ask, like I said, I love your videos, I like going on little adventures like this myself, so it's really cool to see what other people find. I've found a few places if you ever wanna check them out give me a shout, have some cool stories too. might make some videos for ya if you wanna see em lol. thanks a bunch :)
Trail cam time that's all I got to say
+Jay Diggz Bastards would probably just steal that too unless it's well-concealed...
+Jay Diggz
Exactly what I was thinking.
+Jay Diggz
they use airplanes for enforcement in Fla. look for their cars.
+Davidautofull The grave diggers get dropped off that way they can run and get away... Then picked up elsewhere.
You probably loose it to the jerks tat took every thing else.
Yes that is sick, beautiful area though. Mabe instead of no digging signs. Put up Beware of Graboid Signs. The holes proves they are there.
Lol, if someone actually believes that I will laugh
+Jimmy Posada sadly I believe some people would believe it :)
+WV Wildlife Cam Maybe its really graboids after all?
+WV Wildlife Cam Too bad those don't really exist. Just think of how much more intelligent humans would be, without the idiots and arrogant asses around to continue contaminating the gene pool. The gene pool contaminators would be eaten as fast as they reproduced.
+WV Wildlife Cam maybe graboids do exist. have you ever heard of the mongolian death worm?
Sad... People have just lowered themselves to another level. Thank. you for still putting this on, people like to know or have to know what's going on.
Good God, this makes my heart bleed.. I am a rescue archaeologist, or used to be before I retired, and know first hand the damage these people do. Not only are the artifacts lost to posterity, but any information that could have been gleaned from the destroyed archaeology in the occupation layers, and the context in which the artifacts are found is also lost. And that's not even too begin on the extreme lack of respect and greediness these people exhibit. Thanks for bringing to our notice. Education and methods of policing these areas are sorely needed..
As the old saying goes .... "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention".
That kind of disgusting, disrespectful and unconscious conduct gets my blood boiling and as with you, I get too flabbergasted by seeing the evidence of those heartless acts, to even speak. The word for that day would be .... Shameful!
I saw this when you originally posted it, but it had the same effect on me this time. : (
Beau, Thank You for exposing this again. How can they not care enough to protect that area? (Putting a tall barrier around it would make it harder for the looters).
The Tribal Leaders need to get their heads together with the local city and state politicians, in order to make any kind of progress to protect this Indian burial sight and the tortoises, which were a common symbol of many tribes. As we all know, the Casinos are big money makers. Surely there is enough money to invest a small portion for signs, bordering and enforcing the protection of the resting place of the Great Indigenous Peoples that came before. It could be a place to bring school children on field trips and tourists to visit, free or for a small, set fee to cover the costs incurred.
With all my Heart, I want this video to be seen, acknowledged and Action taken by the aforementioned people and anyone else that cares to make a Huge difference and be an Inspiring Example of Respect and Responsibility.
I hope those sickos get caught. The locals are saying this is happening in the morning then law enforcement should have a box of Dunkin Dounuts with them and set up surveillance. Shouldn't be hard to catch them.
+Keaven nelson I am Cherokee
+Ed Spencer reminds of a place in Palm beach county where we used to ride four wheelers and go muddin. there were stolen cars and pay phones dumped out there all the time but the police would come out on sunday afternoon when there were hundreds of people. finally one day I went over to the cop, which caught him by surprise because he was "undercover" in a unmarked truck, and I told him he needs to come out between sunday and Thursday after nine at night. A week later he remembered my truck and pulled me over on the highway and thanked me. They caught the car thieves that Tuesday night. ain't hard to catch thieves.
+Ed Spencer If they have their face in a box of donuts, they won't see anything.
Gerry Buck Agreed.
+Gerry Buck so much for respect
It's weird I just started watching your videos, and I live in Venice. My grandpa works for the county and I can remember him talking about this incident back when it happened
Your. Hunting edict is amazing!!! You inspire me!!! ...... Your the best hunter on you tube !!!!!!
They're not metal detector owners or the wouldn't leave a trashed site.
I don't know how you where able to walk through all that. I would have been crying my eyes out(I have Cherokee and Apache blood but I'm mostly white.) If you ever go back there please do me a favor, pray for just a second for me, for them. I look up to you in the same way I look up to John Denver. You both have inspired me to explore my local wooded areas and to connect with nature more. I recently started researching pagan religion, and realized what it actually is. So, I wanted to know how you're views on it? In you're spare time I think it would be a good subject to read up on, so you can tell if you've run across a pagan or satanic ritual while you're exploring in the woods.( you never know what you'll find in the woods) I suggest this because I want you to be safe.

You don't have to go far to see research pagen religion. Your nearest church gets many of their beliefs from them. For example the trinity belief, a burning hell, most holidays, the cross, etc.
😢sad ☀️
Thanks for spreading the word and for your vigilance.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing this. I hope it makes a difference. What's wrong with people? desecrate someone's resting place for a bead or bone or something. That was a person. I was literally brought to tears. So sad that people are this low and disrespectful. But aquachigger, I agree I think you should have shared this bc maybe someone will see it and do something about it. Just sad.
I'm not native American but it makes me sick seeing this and wish that I could do something but I know that I can't
Surely some that lives in the area will see it as there civic duty I wold do it if I lived near there. I am part cherokee and proud of it.
You did more then you think by writing this comment and I thank you my friend hopefully your comment will open peoples eyes. I'm native and I appreciate it my friend.
Wela'lin!
Thank you !
Beau you should do shark tooth diving off the coast of Venice
+Aquachigger Have you recorded you doing a vid, I'd love to see it.
the disrespect people have😔 I am not Native at all, but I have so much respect for those people. they have/had such a different way of living and doing things and i just love their traditions like 🥺
Sad, just sad. Thank you for raising awareness.
This does make me sick...how who they feel if this was their ancestors...
People are unbelievable man. That makes me so upset
Gads, that's nuts. Good you are reporting on this.
Thank you for posting. This is very sad.
Absolutely disgusting for these people to go there and rob graves for bones or small trinkets that belonged to some Indian families. Props to the tortoises though, because at least they don't rob graves..... Absolutely sickening...
will putting all the petty native, Indian, lazy and other BS aside I'm sorry that those things happened over there it's just people don't know their the limits and they feel they have a right to disturbed whatever they come across. I have property here in the California desert and not too far away is a cemetery with graves that have been there since the 1880s up to the the 1940s we've personally caught people digging at night in the relatively modern cemetery and had to hold him until the police came and it just breaks my heart to see that but anyway I love your channel and all your videos so keep up the good work.
Thank you for caring enough to get envolved.
Have u got an update on this sacred place. Has it started being monitored. I hope so. Love you're videos.
My friend and I used to go camping. Unbeknown to us we were camping on top of an Indian Burial Mound. I have had night terrors all of my life, but felt a spiritual sense of peace whenever I slept there.
Isn't the whole continent looted like crazy, as a huge understatement?
+Aquachigger I'd love to see a ranger catch one, then hang his rear (figuratively) for the whole thing, to make an example of him. This is disgusting.
+wrnchhead76 I agree with you, but that sounded a little kinky.
+Cloxxki I agree 193 %, I'd go higher but that's my point !!
Barton Robinson That's a pretty specific percentage. I agree with you.
They lost the war period. That being said people need to respect these dedicated sites. Carma can be a bitch!
*И снова приятное видео! У нас тоже есть любители не закапывать ямы! Привет от кладоискателей России!*
Really sad, Chigg. Glad you are showing how sick some people are. You are showing proper respect.
There is a place here in MO, my county, that when a new highway was built, maybe in the late 30 or early 40, the road builders found graves on the side of a cliff and dug them. I don't know if they found anything but one of the men who built the road told me this and my uncle owned the farm in later years. That really upset me when I heard this.
That is so sad. I'm like you, it makes me mad.
I'm sorry but archaeologist have ruined me ever helping them with anything when they started going after the coin collecting community by trying to ban it. I'm sorry for what is happening there and many other places but we do more for saving history than they ever do by just letting historical items and places set and rot.
Yeah but we don't go around digging up your family graves and looting them this makes me pissed
Thank you so much for making this video have things improved ?
I hope this gets a million views sir.
not saying one thing or another but according to your logic archaeologist are sick
Archeology is not grave robbing
keepitwitmine are they not digging up graves and taking things from them? whether it is for fame money or notoriety,,, it is still for personal gain.
+tonymengela to answer your question, no, they are not. That is illegal. It's not like Indiana Jones.
keepitwitmine Sure they are. Lets be honest here, everything we do is for personal gain in some sort of fashion.
+tonymengela I am being honest. I'm actually trying to help you see the difference, I'm not trying to argue. Look, say your grandma lost a gold ring in 1972 and I find it metal detecting and I take it home. Be honest, would you see that as being as big a problem as going to the cemetery and digging her up just to see if I could find something? Do you see what I'm saying?
this guy called other people idots because digging he does the same
Good on you Beau!
this was very educational ,,, on what not to do ,, thanks for showing
Several of us accidently found an old burial ground in Montana. Yes there were beads, arrowheads, spear heads, and a few bones scattered around. My so called friends had a field day. Not me.....I would not take from the dead. Never found out "why", but one of the guys took his items and put them back, his only reason was...… "because"
Thank you for bringing this to light. Creators blessings to you on the four winds.
Great awareness video Mr. Ouimitte!!! Maybe the right people will see this and protect what's left.
Heart breaking. Thanks for bringing it to light. Maybe someone will do the right thing. Doubt itll be the government, but who knows. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video. I hope you will share it with the State legislators and others that can do something about it.
Doc

It was a educational video, and makes such important point
thanks for showing this, its sad to see how much people have damaged and stole from there.
I forgot to tell you that I use to live in Florida. It's a great place to visit, but the heat finally got to me and I ended up in S.C. Just love your video's my friend.
+Lady Ravenswood I personally haven't been there and news like this makes me not want to be there either.
What? that the heat is a killer? Or that Native American burial grounds get raided.?
I always use to tell people that I left South Florida, because rush hour lasts 2 or more , No body speaks English anymore and the bugs are the size of battleships. So I moved to S.C. where we only get snowed on in February. LOL1
+Lady Ravenswood I believe the heat issue doesn't bother me as much as the grave robbing, that's a real turn off for me as a visitor to Florida. I can take the snow and freezing conditions .Sounds like you made the correct choice by moving, considering.
We're with you 'chig.
in the 70s and 80s we use to party every weekend at that exact spot... I never knew that was an Indian burial site. my aunt even wrote a book about the history of Nokomis Fl.
It is so sad to see this. And it was so touching to see your passion about it. And by the way, you r very handsome. wow!
Bless you for your humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great footage.
Thanks for pointing this out. Native grounds - and all burial grounds are sacred and should never be disturbed.
OMG. I live in Florida and I came here the same day he was and I actually almost went up to him and talked to him to see if he found anything. I now regret not doing that.
This is my first time commenting .. Hey !! I agree digging Indian burial mounds should be more than a misdemeanor, which is the Law in my State. Now, I myself look for artifacts but not like that. An some people think that is wrong. However, me picking it up or letting the disk of a plow break it up, somehow I feel like I'm preserving heritage and History. Anyway, I enjoy your video's , So keep 'em coming..
horrible, how could people be so disrespectful. so glad u made me aware.
I knew an older lady that played with the local indian children. As a young guy I was always hunting stuff and was pretty sure I had found a Native American Grave Yard.
I told her where I thought it was. She said to me that she knew some of the people buried there and made me promise to never dig there. Or anyplace that was sacred. To this day I honor that promise and always will. I so enjoyed the summer days when she would tell me the history and her life as a child in our area. Eventually I learned to drive and noticed Girls. Not in that order but the two things drew me away from chats with this living history book I knew. What a shame. But I will take with gratitude what I got. And always keep that promise. Rest well Miss McCormick I will never tell where it is.
I don't know if I should "like" or "dislike" this video.
