Patsy Cline Lived Here! Metal Detecting Patsy Cline's House

Patsy Cline lived here! In this video, we explore and metal detect the home where Patsy Cline spent some of her childhood years. This home is located outside of Winchester, Virginia. This was her grandmother's house and the Patsy Cline family moved in for several years around the World War Two era. We metal detect and find many old and interesting artifacts to include large cents, coins, buttons, Civil War relics and many more interesting and potentially connected artifacts to the immediate Patsy Cline family.

That bulky bracelet you found is called an "ID BRACELET". Usually, lovers wore them and had the mans name on the front, and if a woman gave it to him, she'd sign it "with love", and her name engraved on the back, and women wore a more dainty and feminine style.

[@jglow22]

Patsy was born in that old house and her family moved closer to Gore when she was a toddler. But since you mentioned a tour of the inside. Did you notice all the blood? Yeah, the mattress in the upstairs room is full of it and the bloody foot prints on the stairs with bloody hand prints on the wall leading back down to the first floor. There was a murder in that house back in the 70’s. No one lived there since that. That old house has some history to it. If you look across the creek from the house there is an old water powered grain mill over there. There are still some of the iron cogs for the mill there. But you have to talk to the Boy Scouts about that one.
