My La s t name is Pitts I wonder if i'm related... You both is in my element the thing i love and injoy doing Ialso have a grand father that lived in the NorthEast of georgia i guess before he married my grand mother my dads mom
I live 5:26 in a home built in 1856, although it appears that an even older structure or two were here before. I still have a couple things that adorn the outside of the home such as a horse hitching post and a well complete with hand pump. I have metal detected all around my property and the adjacent property with not much luck. This property and the adjacent property was bulldozed so much and leveled that any good artifact is either too deep or been pushed who knows where. All I ever find is trash.
I love it when Mr. Dan joins you for videos. He's a walking memory bank! 😊 And, that grass was SO beautiful! So green and lush! Thanks, Robert, for another great video!
Just love listening to Dan. He is so knowledgeable about the history in your area and I love history. I also watch the Appalachian History Detective and her very good with researching and telling the history of the areas her metal detecting. You him and the hillbilly files are my favorite channels to watch. The only thing is they make me home sick for Get mountains of NC. Just got to figure out how to get back up there. God bless you guys and keep making these awesome videos with all your side kicks and this old lady will keep watching and longing to see the mountains at least one more time.
Robert and Dan, loved this video. Always interesting as to what comes out of the ground. Sure did love hearing the bell chimes. The first piece of music I remember from the days I was younger and going to church. Didn’t recognize the second one. Just a beautiful area. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Be glad you can still hear church bells. I love to listen to them. Wish we could hear them here. Love to listen to Mr. Dan. Love watching all your shows...❤
I just love the historical stories Mr. Dan tells. And I would love to see more metal detector or metal fishing videos. Robert I think you just a sweetheart. I look forward to all the videos from you, TOR, Walter and most of all Uncle Ken. My love to all the Georgia gentlemen❤
I love the church chimes! The Catholic church near my childhood home used to play "Star of the East" every day at noon until a neighbor complained and they had to stop. That was many years ago. Very sad. After all these years, I still miss it. Our city hall, which is located right downtown, used to play Christmas carols and Christmas hymns over their loud speaker during the Christmas shopping season in the evenings while people shopped. It was magical, especially during a light evening snowfall. They haven't done that for many years because, again, someone complained. I'm glad to see that some churches still play their chimes.
Great video I enjoyed hearing the church bells so many churches no longer have them. Mr. Dan is a font of information The wealth of his knowledge is amazing. I never knew toothpaste came in metal tubes. Who was the young man with you?
Ipana toothpaste came out with a shaving cream-style can in 1958, & in 1959 we had Ipana in a round squeeze bottle that had a slanted, off-center bottom to sit on the sink!
Love the history of Waverly Hall. My grandfather grew up in the area. He talked about how Waverly Hall high school played Shiloh High School in basketball in early 1900s . The winner had bragging rights for a whole year.
That's a tree-planting shovel you've got there. A regular round point shovel might have been a little better. Anyway that advertising token was an awesome find. I've never seen one like it.
That sure was a pretty spot where you were with your metal detector. And I could listen to the church bells again n again. It sounded so nice. Well kiddo no gold coins but you did find some interesting items. That Coppertone sun tanning lotion in spray can I think it would of come from the 60tys. I like the brass door knob. I think you need to come back there again. You just might get lucky the second time around. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟🐶
Any old filled in privies around that you can dig up? People used to fill those up with all kinds of trash. When will you get to detecting in the OBF barn yard and smoke house areas?
If you’re gonna metal detect, you gotta dig up “a plug.” It’ll go right back in the earth with no damage to either the item you’re detecting or the lawn. 😉 Loved watching you and Dan
Could that have been the wick holder & burner from what we called an Aladin lamp? The wick wasn't just a flat woven fabric type but a gauze type & round in a sort of cage holder if I remember right from my childhood at the camp. Similar to those on a Coleman lantern for lack of a better comparison. They had a much taller chimney and a decorative glass shade usually & gave off a much brighter & less yellow light. Kinda like florescent compared to a light bulb for electric years.
I found this one to be as fascinating as they get. The old photos helped a lot. It’s always disappointing to me when progress intrudes so much into history.
@@marlene7969 I used to live next to the 99 freeway and on the other side was the train yard. The trains couple up at all hours of the day and night, eventually you get used to that too. We live under a flight pattern from Fresno-Yosemite International Airport. We're sort of getting used to that too. I do miss the quiet of living in Death Valley National Monument, now a national park since '94.
I’ve metal detected for years I thought the ground was hard here in Pennsylvania because of the rocks here , too bad you didn’t probe for the old outhouse privy that’s where the treasures would be , be interesting to find old medicine bottles , ect.
Enjoyed this video. How would you tell if that was the burn spot from houses or a burn area for trash? Like in a burn barrel for household trash? Just wondering. Anyway, fun video! Best wishes from Middle Tennessee.
During rationing and hardship during the war… ladies used leg makeup instead of stockings. I wonder about thst tube of coppertone…that’s what it brought to mind for me anyway.
It was still an interesting video, even if you didnt find any of that long lost "Confederate" gold that was in the old house that burned. I believe your katydid's and the ones in my backyard are singing the same song.
If you could figure out where the outhouse was, if they had an out house, there’s a guy called under the planes who digs out outhouses he finds amazing things bottles from the 1800s who knows with your fine downer outhouse pit
People use to bury their trash. Years ago I hunted trash piles where after burning trash the piled Trash in an open field. After 40years the bottles would be 4 to 6 inches deep.
I would love to talk with Mr Dan. My Mother was a Akins from Georgia. She has been passed 45 years and all her brothers and sisters is passed so they is no one I can ask questions of and I'd love to know if he would be able to help me learn of any of my family.
Hey guys want to try metal detecting for civil war bullets if you know a place where there was a skirmish actually a battle between the Confederates and the Union you might get some Civil War bullets cuz I got a metal detector I want I want to try to do is go to Gettysburg in that area and go metal detecting for civil war bullets
@@CharityS-Minnesota the knowledge of the house being there is known, the fact that it burned is known, lumps of metal have zero historical value.edit...those things are expected to be there, a Roman coin found there would be a historical find.
Only a couple finds but great history!

Honestly, I could listen for hours, and hours of Mr. Dan and his plethora of historical knowledge. He is definitely a treasure 😊
Adore that Mr. Dan! What a treasure
I always enjoy hearing Mr. Dan❤

I just love it when Mr. Dan accompanies you on videos Robert... He is such a great story teller of history. Thanks for this! 😁
Mr.Dan needs to tell bedtime stories. His voice is so soothing. I could listen to him for hours.
Thinking the same thing!
Dan is such a wealth of historical information.
I so enjoyed the church bells!!!! My little hometown no longer has a church that plays bells. I miss it so much.
I love it when Mr. Dan joins you for videos. He's a walking memory bank! 😊
And, that grass was SO beautiful! So green and lush! Thanks, Robert, for another great video!

I love the chimes.,too.
The first song I learned as a Christmas hymn when I was a child. "Oh, How Joyfully" is the name. I, too, don't know the second song.
Love listening to Dan. 😊
Be glad you can still hear church bells. I love to listen to them. Wish we could hear them here.
Love to listen to Mr. Dan.
Love watching all your shows...❤
Mr. Dan shld be on every video. he is a real treasure.

Nice hearing the bells. I recognized the first melody as an old German Christmas carol. Tunes go where they want to.
Thank you both for the informative video. Always a pleasure.
Hello, Dan! Amazing variety in one small area. Fun adventure!
Enjoyed I think I've used some copperton I'm day. Mr Dan is very knowledgeable
Love the historyMr Dan always gives.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great history and the old plantation home was beautiful
Always a good show. Friendship respect and love.

The church bells are lovely.
I loved hearing the chimes so close, after hearing them occasionally out at the Byrd Farm!---"Blue-haired ladies..."!
Yeah !!!! I love to see all of you together love history ❤
Love metal detecting..there use to be a tv show about 2 guys who went out but it was taken off the air many many moons. Hiiii Mr Dan!!
The tv show was The Diggers 😊
That's a tree-planting shovel you've got there. A regular round point shovel might have been a little better. Anyway that advertising token was an awesome find. I've never seen one like it.
New sub here, great channel! Thanks for the history lesson and happy hunting from Jim and Mason out of New Hampshire USA
Well the Coppertone Company was founded in 1944 so it would be around the 60's or 70's era style container.
We absolutely love listening to Dan talk local history. We love local history no matter where. Thanks gentlemen.
Central California watching
Hey Dan. Watching now. 👍
This was very interesting thank you both very much God bless you both 🙏❤️
My favourite two gentlemen and gentle you both are❤
@9:30 "O Du Fröhliche" is the name of the carol. Odd that they'd be playing German Christmas carols but lovely all the same.
I love the church bells!

Mr Dan the historian man .
I had fun , thanks for taking us along !

If the ground isn’t hard as a rock 😉

Pretty sure the longer you have that foam the better it works😊 Rock on guys 😊
The blue hair ladys are probably STILL taking about it 🤣
I found this one to be as fascinating as they get. The old photos helped a lot. It’s always disappointing to me when progress intrudes so much into history.
I remember that kind of motor oil. I've heard of it before, but can't recall from who. Likely my late father.
loved it love the church music too could listen for hours
Can you imagine living near that church? I mean the bells are lovely sounding, but what, at least once an hour? OMG!!!
I live next door to a church with bells. You get so used to them, you really don’t notice them most of the time.

I miss the bells from the Methodist church in the small town I was fortunate to grow up in. This video brought back beautiful memories! 🔔 ⛪️

Keep your partner with you . That man has more knowledge in his little finger than most will ever have !
Beautiful sound of church bells

Hi Dan , i think you are right looks like door knob 😊
Hi Mr. Dan !
OMG, with that hard clay soil I have to ask what kind of crops were grown.
I tried some Coopertone self tanning lotion when I was a teen(just on my legs)😅, just turned me yellow...not a good buy. I threw it away,too.
You have some excellent friends.
Your treasure hunt is much as mine always is.
Old tin cans , nails etc from the mid 50s not much earlier.
Pieces of rusted away plow parts
I love dans southern drawl…as a girl from New Jersey I have my own kind of accent, lol
During rationing and hardship during the war… ladies used leg makeup instead of stockings. I wonder about thst tube of coppertone…that’s what it brought to mind for me anyway.
Nuggetnoggin always says dig all the signals
That tanning crème was Coppertone brand.
Sudden tan 1970s, was 50 years ago!
Yes! I remember it turned my aunt orange and it rubbed off onto clothes. This was in the early’60’s
It was still an interesting video, even if you didnt find any of that long lost "Confederate" gold that was in the old house that burned. I believe your katydid's and the ones in my backyard are singing the same song.
If you could figure out where the outhouse was, if they had an out house, there’s a guy called under the planes who digs out outhouses he finds amazing things bottles from the 1800s who knows with your fine downer outhouse pit
People use to bury their trash.
Years ago I hunted trash piles where after burning trash the piled
Trash in an open field.
After 40years the bottles would be 4 to 6 inches deep.
May the lord bless and protect you and your partner
That be a brass fortune cookie...
I would love to talk with Mr Dan. My Mother was a Akins from Georgia. She has been passed 45 years and all her brothers and sisters is passed so they is no one I can ask questions of and I'd love to know if he would be able to help me learn of any of my family.
Ah, that deep dark Coppertone tan. Thanks for not singing along to the church bells.
💖
I haven’t viewed you for some time. Is everyone okay? And do still have Blue?? And is he okay?? I’ll do a better job of keeping up with you. God Bless
My dog loves to dig holes all over the backyard and he dug up a glass empty insulin bottle
Looks like they are standard in front of a green screen
Hope you don't get a copyright strike from the church bells! 🙂
Still softer than New Mexico soil
Sudden tan. Early 1970’s.
Someone's trash burning barrel
Lol melted beer can😅
May b helpful to have smaller tools for digging
Hey guys want to try metal detecting for civil war bullets if you know a place where there was a skirmish actually a battle between the Confederates and the Union you might get some Civil War bullets cuz I got a metal detector I want I want to try to do is go to Gettysburg in that area and go metal detecting for civil war bullets
Coppertone from late 60s or 70s
Turned you yellow!!
Jackhammer country!
How do you determine a home is a plantation versus just a regular house?
A plantation house would be one with a working farm
It's old
The church didnt like you guys digging up near there so they played the horrible bell tunes to try to annoy you away.
tenant houses? maning the human beings that were enslaved by the plantation owners?
Those Church bells would drive me crazy. 😅
You Just Will Not No If You Dont Go. So Now You No.
Better you than me, one good find in how long?, digging into hard ground, fire ants for a lump of metal just doesn't do it for me.
The charred bits were a good find.
It is of historical value. It proves where the house stood that burned. So all good finds.
@@CharityS-Minnesota the knowledge of the house being there is known, the fact that it burned is known, lumps of metal have zero historical value.edit...those things are expected to be there, a Roman coin found there would be a historical find.
