I have a question? When you are cleaning the child's grave canyouu look inthe background like in the sky and tell me what that thing is please I pulled it up its intresting for sure
That “cradle” was intended to be used as a planter box for flowers and anything else the poor parents wanted to plant there. Common in graves in the Northeast.
Hello sir, i have the utmost respect for what you do and i wish more shared your passion. I am going to try and clean a few " friends " i have here in my south in ga and i sure could use any & all advise on getting &keeping their stones clean. So this video will surely help. I visit them often but the sun & weather has it's own way of exacting its will on stone no matter what it seems... so.. ty for taking some of your precious time sir. 🌺 Sincerely. Mr.K 🌦🐌☕🐢🌞
Afternoon Robert, Love your rescued dog, Hopper and please give him a gentle Hug for me. So happy to see this video and that you have been using, in some cases, the D2, for cleaning some of the older headstones. I understand that it is pretty expensive but so glad that it works as well as I have seen it work, on the other Robert's videos and on other videos as well.I agree with you on the chose you made with driving on the country roads, will take a bit longer, but the scenery is so much nicer and more relaxing. The Gated community we live in is surrounded by nothing but farms, and I love driving down the country roads more than the Route roads. Robert, think it is time to give up that green shirt and move on. Like you a lot better in another other than that green shirt.
You are so right that you never know who you'll run into at a cemetery. I was visiting my father's grave back in the 1990's, and struck up a conversation with a nice couple just behind my dad's spot. It turned out that they were sprucing up their daughter's grave, and she was a victim of the serial killer Coral Eugene Watts. He confessed to several murders to gain immunity from the death penalty, which meant he was also eligible for parole. Those lovely people could never escape from that *!@#&^^! because they always had to keep an eye on what the parole board was doing. This was some ten years after the crime, and they'd already had to testify before the board to keep him locked up. I'm just glad he finally died in 2007 and pray they lived long enough to know he is finally erased from the earth.
So very nice to take the time to care for grave markers. Remembrance of the dead shows respect for life. We all have but one life to live,live it doing for others,and cherish each day!! Jesus said,the greatest commandment is to love one another. The yellow shirt was too hot anyway,but I'm sure it was lovingly washed and placed in drawer for our friend,Other Robert. Much love to you both great southern gentlemen.💯❤
Hopper. The three-legged dog??😂 I had a one-eyed bulldog that everyone remembered, but she was just named Prissy. She wasn’t, just in case anyone wonders. Wonderful job, Other Robert!
I can only say what I did here on England when I cleaned my family graves. Wet the stone thoroughly with water then spray on the D/2, let it sit for around 20 minutes then scrub the stone, while scrubbing wet the area the brush is then rinse the stone off. Once it rinsed spray again with D/2 and leave it foe a while. Like the stones here in England yours seem to suffer more from staining than biological growth so just keep cleaning the stones. Depending on what the staining is it may not come out completely but will be a big improvement and help preserve the stone. You are doing a great job.
That’s about how I’ve done it. With enough time and gentle scrubbing the D2 has taken out stains for me before. The Samantha Street stone I cleaned is my personal biggest D2 success.
Hello Hopper, you are so handsome. Daddy needs to have you in all of the films. Please ask Daddy how he and 1st Robert pick what graves to wash. There are so many in the cemetary that need it. Thank you guys for what you do and the great films. I love watching them. By the way, I am from and in Michigan. Hope to see you again Hopper.
The other Robert has found a great way to show respect to the folks of old. And getting out and keeping busy and burning off those STEAK SANDWICHES Robert buys him as a diet plan…oh..no wait…Roberts dog Balue is the diet plan. I could resist.
Please reread the headstone of the child. You read they were born in 1897 an died in 1895. It's great work both you an Robert do. Love walking through history.
I would say don't wet the stones before putting D2 on them. Just spray it on them dry. Then wait a couple hours and come back and brush them with a wet brush. If you wet the stone first, and then spray it, the D2 is immediately diluted, or just won't soak in. Anyway, it's nice that you guys are doing that. I can think of two old cemeteries here in South Jersey in which every (or nearly every) gravestone is completely black. It would take armies of volunteers with D2 to clean them up. Interesting about the peanut harvester guy.
I've noticed some people skip watering the stone before using the D/2. They don't understand that it helps saturate the stone, helps the D/2 get in deeper & when washing with a brush cuts down on friction on the stone. The stone should be soaked with water before using the D/2. And it doesn't have to be a heavy coating of D/2 to work. You still use the D/2 straight, but soak the stone with water first. A large pump bottle of water and a regular spray bottle of D/2. And if you know it's going to rain, put a plastic bag over it for a day. Rsi. Or not if you use water to soak the stone first the D2 will keep soaking into the stone and reactivate every time it rains. And it will keep working for months. If you understand that you'll stop thinking in terms of it being washed off and it will work better.There are great videos on this from numerous conservationist organizations. Thanks for keeping these people's memories alive and maintaining their stones. (I'm sorry if I sound frustrated, but I don't understand why people skip the water soak,use do much D/2 and don't understand it stays inside the stone and works for months if prepped right.)
Have you tried Wet and Forget? I think that you will find it less expensive, and more effective . I’ve been using for 5 years now, without any issues. Great content on your channel! I’ll be a new subscriber!
I get the gallon jugs now. But the sprayer is super handy. I think they have a listing for a gallon jug and a smaller spray bottle. There’s also a great kit that comes with a pump sprayer and brushes
The Other Robert you were right. It was known to the British as Siegfried Line and to the Germans as West Wall. Some really tough battles there for US Forces including o ne of the bloodiest they fought in called the Hurtgen Forest. RIP S/Sgt Laye.
Whoa, husband of Lou M born 1886, was 20 years younger that his wife Lou born 1847? But yet his stone just notes him as J.C. not J.C. Johnson. Dies around age 20 more or less when she would be 40 more or less. Did the stonemaker make a mistake, and Lou just let it ride? Let us really adventure into history, this looks like an interesting family to research! What county did you find this cemetery? Great work as always.
This idea isn't uncommon and many cemeteries are like this sadly (including the even name on the headstone! I have a family headstone here of Leonarda when the name is Leonard 100%. My family at the time did not have many to pay for a new stone, so it was just kept that way on the headstone, but the burials records are correct for -him- at least. Many are "hear say" and may of "hear say" didn't hear right or forgotten all together what the real date/year was and just went with it as the family probably did not have money to remake it. This is why to never rely on headstones as they are often wrong all together.
The child’s grave, with what looks like a cradle in front of the headstone - that is a planter box for dirt and flowers. Such stones are not uncommon in the Northeast. I clean gravestones in the Midwest, and I have yet to see one here.
This cremation bothers me my parents were cremated and ashes spread in the hills with no record my late husband ashes I still have. I need to put them in a cemetery I did spread some in the mountains. Makes you think
Robert...that LOU M JOHNSON stone and her "husband " the dates don't make sense for him to be her husband...relook at that next time...maybe a son...but why does it say husband???
Well other robert another good video you done a really great job on the headstones 🪦 👏 I can see it's a lot better using the d 2 marvellous product keep safe and well Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧

Communities should start getting together at least once or twice a year and go to their local graveyards and help clean the headstones 🪦.
What a great idea! Wonder if scout troops could help?!!??
thats how Memorial Day started family's of soldiers that died in the Civil War would clean and decorate the headstones
Thank you for taking time to clean up and care for old unreadable headstones.
Hopper ... great name for a 3 legged dog! I had a 3 legged dog ... we called him Tripod.
There is something both relaxing and satisfying about this video. Love seeing the stones go from dirty to clean and legible
I always call it the scenic route. That was our entertainment -going for LONG rides almost every Sunday afternoon. Still enjoy those rides.
Thanks for preserving history. Alway glad to see both Robert's ❤❤❤
Thank you both for the kindness ❤
By the way - more D2 has been ordered since this video was made…
I have a question? When you are cleaning the child's grave canyouu look inthe background like in the sky and tell me what that thing is please I pulled it up its intresting for sure
UFO at 11:53 if you enlarge it, it looks like a plane but not moving
It appears to be something on top of the building like a vent
@@rangerbull lol I think so but if you keep watching it almost to the end of him standing there the second time it just up and disappeared
Look at the sky at 11:53 what is that
Thanks, Robert and Other Robert for looking after these grave stones it surely is a wonderful thing to do.
Great Job! I liked the child's cradle stone. I have never seen anything like it.

Mighty nice of y'all ❗ ya never go wrong doing right💯🏆❤️🚙🇺🇲🇺🇲
Robert & Robert you always make me smile and that's a great way to start the day.
✌&❤
Great effort, the Other Robert! It gives those older headstones a new lease of life.
The journey of these few headstones from obscure darkness to a bright light is captured and well presented. THX.
Great job by both Roberts. Thank you for all your cleaning. God bless. Love your dog Hopper. He is so much better being with you now. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸🐶
Love this video. Thanks other Robert and Robert. Great job
Other Robert you have a beautiful tripod dog. Looks like a handsome companion for you.👍🏻❤️Donna/michigan

Thank you for sharing. They are looking so very nice now that you are able to read them.
I love your dog Hopper!

Cuanta tranquilidad en ese lugar, no en vano la frase ...los muertos descansan en paz...Gracias otro Robert por limpiar su lugar de descanso.❤
Thank you for doing this. You’re a good man.
We just gotta get the makers of the D2 to sponsor you guys and this site!!!!!
I so Admire what you do ! God Bless You ❤️
I can only say what I did here on England when I cleaned my family graves.

I love your dog so are a good man
I think all the people in each community should go around, and do this, because it is something that needs to be done.
I like listening to the birds.
Always love your videos!
God bless you Other Robert for your care of these stones. ❤
Hey, Robert we know that you didn't sell that shirt!!😂 It's a special shirt!
😅
The dog probably just thinks you are "marking your territory" when you sprayed the D2 on the stone. 😂
Awe.sweet puppy
Awesome job, I wish I still lived down there. I would be helping out but right now station up here in Fort Bragg NC
I wondered when we'd get an update. Thank you.
Hey Robert and Robert, you do know that D2 is made in Georgia? So you two should try to get them to sponsor your channel.
Please reread the headstone of the child. You read they were born in 1897 an died in 1895. It's great work both you an Robert do. Love walking through history.
I am pretty sure 1895 should be 1898.
Great job

Good plan selling that shirt *wink* I'm sure I heard the Other Robert say he'd give the shirt off his back for more cleaner... 😅😅😅 hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Robert you're giving the dead new life by cleaning their tombstones
Way to go Robert!---(That Rascal Robbie, at it again, sigh!)
🤣

Findagrave shows Peanut Harvester wife was Jimmie Horne Thornton buried right next to him. The name sounds like a male, but it is his wife.
U r a good man O.R.
What D2 product do you use? Does it come with the application squirt bottle. I want to purchase some for Memorial Day.
I get the gallon jugs now. But the sprayer is super handy. I think they have a listing for a gallon jug and a smaller spray bottle. There’s also a great kit that comes with a pump sprayer and brushes
@@AdventuresIntoHistory is there a brand name you use? I see several.
Hi Robert from the UK ..Love your dog what breed is it ? ..
The Other Robert you were right. It was known to the British as Siegfried Line and to the Germans as West Wall. Some really tough battles there for US Forces including o ne of the bloodiest they fought in called the Hurtgen Forest. RIP S/Sgt Laye.
That slab stone needs reset before the stress of leaning over causes it to snap in half

How can I clean paint from a headstone
I can't find anything John Thomas Thornton inventing the peanut harvester. 🤷♀️
Robert you sold his shirt. How could you?😅😅😅😅😅😅
That cleaning solution appears to be weak. Perhaps dawn soap and water would also help.
D2 is slow acting cleaner the stone will lighten up over time
This cremation bothers me my parents were cremated and ashes spread in the hills with no record my late husband ashes I still have. I need to put them in a cemetery I did spread some in the mountains. Makes you think
The man who served in Vietnam may be buried in a National cemetery along with other Veterans.
Hi my dog died in Australia and she in her grave 😭
This may be the James Thornton the gentleman was looking for: www.onlineathens.com/obituaries/p0134500
The baby that was born in 87 died in 88 not 85, I believe.
You are correct
Robert...that LOU M JOHNSON stone and her "husband " the dates don't make sense for him to be her husband...relook at that next time...maybe a son...but why does it say husband???
Are you going to do an update on the work and cleaning you did at the Byrd family grave plot?
Yeah, I’ll try to remember to go back and do an update soon -
Thanks guys
