[@robertwasmer6224]

I just love the hammered dulcimer in the early part of this video!

[@chetthejet3896]

Enjoy the opening music. Welcome to N.E. TN Blountville TN Near the old stage road.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Thanks....I feature the old stage road in the next video.....stay tuned....thanks for watching.

Hello from Knoxville my friend. Welcome to my neck of the woods. We are glad to have you here. I hope you stay and detect some more. I think you are in a great spot for a lot of civil war and pioneer relics. I think that was a pistol round. I’ve been around a lot of pistol rounds but I didn’t slow down long enough to look at them. Thanks for taking the old man on another great adventure. Stay safe and I’ll be waiting on the next video.

[@krisferguson378]

Totally awesome today.

[@JokersWild139]

Awesome video Todd. Seeing the square nails and what you found I’d say definitely a structure there

[@marygarner5249]

Sorry late love the History you have a way of bringing people's stories alive 💟👍

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Thanks Mary. Have a great week.

One of your best lol. This was really a fun time. The history aspect always raises the bar for the others, regardless of the number of subscribers. Great job Todd. Thanks for the adventure.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Thanks Tom. You were a great host. Don’t fret my Subscriber count is high nearly as high as it’s ever been but I don’t want my channel to be about that or focus on it. Until we meet again brother!

Todd Great video as always. Great finds

[@gayeyount7948]

Another awesome adventure into history.

[@rogercrawley6966]

Great video! Thanks.

[@rolandtomkellam9306]

You meet the nicest people on your adventures. Rodney has accommodated your hunt by mowing your site and cheering you on with your finds. Tom is also working hard to help you date and confirm the site. That's what historical detecting is all about. Working together as a team.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

This is my buddy Tom that was publicly attacked by you know that great name in Metal Detecting...just for being an 82nd Airborne Ranger and defending his attacks on my service.

Todd you must be exhausted from the drive. How awesome to find a mystery site to date the time period. Tennessee looks like a beautiful place.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

It’s a long way south but through the gorgeous valley so I loved every mi Ute of it. Cheers ladies.

[@fredclemons8923]

Nice hunt guys nice finds really enjoyed the video, will catch you on the next one 🇺🇸

[@coinsandbuttons]

Thanks for bringing us another great video Todd. Yep that’s a Colt 44….

If the town has any old maps perhaps there may building markers.The mound of rocks could possibly be evidence of an old chimney or maybe a gravesite.

[@WVRelicmetalDetecting]

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Dang I wish had known u was coming to TN.. I could have got y'all on the old road that the soldiers marched on.. it was right up from where the actual battle happened.. I live only a few miles from it.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

I will be back down that way Sept 13-14 to see TN game....and staying in Johnson City.

[@P.B.Theriver]

Those small rivets were also used on Springfield bayonet scabbards/frogs.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

I’m glad I keep them just in case.

[@kimberlypearson2779]

So cool

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Thanks Kim

[@ozarksbrotherjerry4297]

You showed a picture of MG Breckinridge. You should mention that he was a Vice President of the United States.

[@rolandtomkellam9306]

I love Proverbs by the way.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Wisdom is always in vogue I feel. Can't go wrong with that book....

[@johnchambers427]

I'm from roan mountain Tennessee in Carter county. I hope you all are feeling those holes back in that you're digging .

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Of course we do and I agree. If you see yesterday's video I show you others who don't and Comment on it. In past videos I show how we fill the holes and practice a leave no trace behind. In this video the landowner is with us.
