I’m a citified hillbilly from Charleston, WV, and you two together represent here one of the best attributes of us hillbilly’s….you demonstrate the great teasing, good natured way we pick on one another to show our feelings. You two have a fondness for one another. It shows. Love the giggles ❤️

I’m a fellow hillbilly myself from Sumner County, TN. Our accents are so similar. Both of my parents were born and raised in the country, so I have a very thick accent. A lot of people work hard of get rid of their southern accent because they are embarrassed by it. When I was younger I tended to be. But now that I am older I have embraced it as part of my identity and am proud of it. Not too long ago I met a couple who had moved down here from New York. We were talking, and out of the blue they told me I had a very charming southern accent. It occurred to me that maybe not everyone thinks we southerner’s are ignorant because of the way we talk. We have so much in common. The love of genealogy, family history, exploring old cemeteries, old houses, history. I’ve watched everything I could get my hands on re. the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. It’s because they remind me so much of my own ancestors, minus the violence, lol. I love y’all’s channel so much. I can see that you put a lot of work into it. Thank you so much for educating all of us on your local history and taking us along for the ride. God Bless You. Be careful out there “in them woods” when the snakes start coming out soon. I hope you carry a pistol with you for your protection.

Nice finds👍🇺🇸

Hello Leo and Heather

Need more videos of you both you make it enjoyable. Keep the videos coming Leo and Heather and our new comer Dan. God bless

Knowing a bit about Devil's life,I think that you are digging,in the right direction!

A picture of devil anse house on the back drop will be awesome

I love u LEO! You crack me up!!!!!

The Hatfield McCoy feud is so interesting and exciting to see all of the homes and various graves of the family. You have visited so many places related to the Feud Leo. My goodness! They are all so historic and I have learned so much from the videos. Thank you.

Awesome video thank you from S.C.

Yeah that place looks amazing!! We'll done jack!!

I'm on board with megabilly, cause like Danny said when you're from the holler you're from the holler and brother I'm from the holler!

Super cool to find stuff. My family lives in Kentucky and there’s such interesting history.

What a fun episode. I love metal detecting. Y'all have too much fun, lol. Great work!

Have a stencil made with the home place Logo in black written in cursive. On the new fence. Where it can be easily seen from the road.

Tell Jack, that when the flood took out all the bridges on Beech Creek, we got 14 inch I beam but I don’t remember where we got them, but I will ask my husband if he remembers, the are also really long.

The flat button and pistol bullet are definitely from the right time period. I've found several "V" nickels in southern WV soil and they all showed dark corrosion like the one you dug, so it's most likely a reaction to the minerals in the ground. I pulled a couple of Vs from the old WHS site back in the '90s that were in almost identical condition. It's possible yours could have been in the 1932 fire, as there were still a lot of those nickels in circulation then, or it could have been dropped before or after. One suggestion. Hunt the creek next. It's the feature that has probably changed the least since the time when Devil Anse was there. Small metal targets usually don't travel far in creeks and tend to get caught up in crevices between the rocks. Be prepared for a lot of junk targets, but there could be a few historic items there as well. If you have one, a smaller search coil would likely give better results in the creek.

Jack seems like a good guy. Cool finding that historic stuff.

The soil is so rich looking. I bet it grew some beautiful gardens.

I've never seen anybody use the pin pointer, almost like he's digging with it. 😮

Great video as always 💯

He needs to get the girl to paint a Muriel on it like the one in the steak house in Williamson

Love the videos. Keep up the good work!

Yaaaay for you all‼️I’m a metal detectorist myself in Missouri!

You got some good finds there keep digging boys

That was very enjoyable. Loved the laughs and great finds ❤❤❤❤

SO cool. Thanks for the upload ya'll!

I found your channel and couple days ago when the video about cottontop showed up in my suggested videos. I’ve been hooked since. I love the history. What time period and reason was the home place sold before hey got it back?

Devil Anse's son Tennis burned the house in 1932 for the insurance, and went to prison for arson. It changed hands and eventually wound up in Jack Hatfield's hands. The GGG grandson of Devil Anse.
