Good to hear Heather! Best of luck on the hunt!

I really enjoy your channel. My old kin are from Virginia they owned over 50,000 acres back in the day. One of their kin, my relation, purchased alot of land in Ohio, that's where I'm from. Wish for the old days, better living

I love the dumps! Glad you found some keepers & got out

I know this video is 3 years old but i just stumbled on it and i wanted to say thank you.

Those old maps are interesting to me, I love looking at them. The old trash dump is where I would love to look for treasures!

I'm from WV and there are 100's of these things everywhere where people just chuck their trash over the hillside. Litterbugs. Ugg.

I’ve heard of historic aerials but never used them-till now. Thanks for the tutorial and adventure. Stay safe.

Thank you for the historic aerials website. This is so helpful considering our historical society has absolutely nothing. Thank you so much!

Good job Ben. For me its the excitement of researching an area and then hitting it with the hopes it hasn't been hunted! Always exciting and satisfying when it pays off! Stay safe and all the best brother!

Nice finds.

I don't know if you'll ever see this, since this video is 3 years old, but I am trying to find where Alexander Hughes had what he called a plantation in his will. It was in Mooresville on Coddle Creek and was 400 acres by the time he died in 1825. He and his wife Margaret Kerr Hughes lived there from about 1780 till they died in the early 1800s. The land was sold to Alexander Hughes by James Carruth of Mecklenburg. It took me decades of research to even get that much information! I might go try to find if anything is left of the place this summer. I imagine there won't be a brick of it left, but you never know.

I'm in western North Carolina as well just up above Boone NC and theres an old homesite on my property. Unfortunately my detector was lost up in Maryland while trying to detect a old hole in the middle of a small creek. Very very deep hole and well I lost my detector after got hooked on a branch or something. Oh well live and learn. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve noticed the many people planted boxwood hedges near their homes years back. There were two homesites on our Suches (Union County) Georgia property that are long gone but the boxwoods still stand. We have a very large bottle and can dump that I’ve only scratched the surface. You should drive down and do some picking. I’ll be up that way for most of November. I’m still hunting points but with no luck.

I'm in central NC. thanks for the info.

So, I found you while doing a search for the Moon-Eyed people. I watched your video and then came to find out if you were still doing a videos... and you are! These are great videos! I honestly don't understand why you haven't taken off. Enjoyed every one I've watched. Thank you. Shared and subbed

Try looking on the south facing side of the mountain. In Appalachia winters cold and wet youll have the heat longer in the winter. This may help as well

Awesome tips. I have been using this site for years now, but have been skipping past the topo's. I'll have to quit doing that.

Just trying too get caught up. You found a cool site. Hope you find the old school. That place looked like a house site. But, my grandma lived in a 2 bedroom home that use too be a church. It still had the wood panels that were on the the walls that only went up about a foot or so. They remind me of the pews that were in alot of the old churches. When she died the neighbors bought the land and the lttle house was torn down. They found the old wooden cross that was on top of it at one time. Wish they would have given it to me. But that just goes to show you not to judge a book by its cover. Could be the old school house site you found.

I’ve never found a piece of gold jewelry because I just can’t bring myself to hunt places like that…I’m drawn to old history too much. In larger cities those two places can overlap, but in rural areas, not so much.

Ben I hope you see this comment. I live in Western NY. Up near Lake Ontario. Well we have lots of Native American history here going back to Paleo-Indian age thousands years ago. During my artifact hunting I found what I believe to be a Clovis I found this at the creek next to my house. Hopefully I can show you a pic and you can identify it for me.

You know, there might well be. If you go to the website there is a paid version that removes all copyrighted marks from the map. It probably has a lot of different features. I’ve always just used the free version and dealt with the annoying watermarks.

Be very open and honest about your intentions. Invite them to participate and be willing to leave what you find with them if they so desire. I know that leaves a bad taste in some peoples mouth, but I’d rather have the privilege of discovery and then part with the items than to never see them at all.
