Civil War Cave - Buried Weapons Search

Previously been digging the right side of the cave system out, however, today we find two new holes to uncover. Today, the original cave was a bit wet, so I decided to start clearing out the North facing cave entrance.
Ozark Hippie Chic joins along in the dig and it's just amazing to know that there's possible Civil War relics right underneath the dirt we are currently digging.
We appreciate all comments and any suggestions. If you're ever in need of releasing a prayer, check out www.prayerwall.world
Also if you're near 11 points river and would like a 420 friendly campground look at the Ozark Hippie Camp: www.airbnb.com...
Also special thanks to Larry Page and the amazing people of Google!

Man, if that really is a Civil War cave, you were like the luckiest man alive and chick… words can’t really express how cool that really is…!!!!…. Good luck and I hope you find some good stuff. ❤

It's near the battle of Lick Creek and when the dispersed they could have easily came here being about a mile away

Great vision to see beauty in Mother Nature. Smile

[@Hemppie]

It's all around us and no reason not to be smiling once you experience all that mother nature has to offer. Talk about true life, follow a spring here in the Missouri Ozarks and you'll experience the beauty and awe thru each new breathe! I appreciate your kind words brother Earl! May you have blessed day your way!

Interesting Video! Don’t Forget to Use a Metal Detector To Find Bullets, Coins, Uniform items etc, & Also a Screen/Sifter for Finding Non-Metallic items like Arrowhead, Pottery & Glass! & Try Panning for Gold in that Creek too! It Looks Promising! 👍😇🇺🇸

I'll do my best to get this new metal detector in there and move some more dirt. Truly appreciate you watching!!

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

Definitely man made. They covered the layer effect in order to hide it. Great job in the extra look to discover it

[@tim9430]

I didn't mind the music intermittently thrown in. It gives a little insight into the creator of the video. You kept it interesting and the subject matter is interesting in itself. My only suggestion is to make sure your voices can be heard. For a lot of the video I had trouble hearing what you were saying. Great vid though, and I know you are trying to actually do work while recording this. I'll be following for sure. Hey, wear a mask when digging anywhere there might be dried bat dung. There's some kind of disease you can get from inhaling the dust. Hope to see you find what you are looking for!

I cant believe you guys don't see the fossilized bone running through out the cave. Its completely evident in the second cave he went in in the beginning of the video.

[@Hemppie]

I went back and re watched the video, it certainly appears to be fossilized bones, I thought it was a limestone deposit. New to all this, so any information is always helpful and valuable. We appreciate you watching the Ozark Hippie Camp channel!

[@Hemppie]

Have you checked out the newest video, a placed the camera in that second cave for a bit, this way you could fully see what's going on!

[@danielstanford8294]

😅can't see it. So far you have moved a lot of rocks, dug out some dirt and, oh yes, you got a fire sstarted.looks like you may be searching for the Dutchman mine or oak island. Best of luck

There are some civil war caves in northwest Arkansas and one is where Jesse James is supposed to have hidden out in while he was with Quantrill’s Raiders during the war.

[@Hemppie]

Thanks for sharing and I have heard many Jesse James stories coming from second account but coming from source such as grandma. Jesse James was a true outlaw and character. Appreciate your spirit

Maybe you can find a used Fisher of Minelab. People are always upgrading their detectors. Love the video !

[@Hemppie]

Thank you Randy, there should be a new video up shortly getting deeper into the cave. I appreciate the recommendation and glad to hear about Minelab being a good one. I've been looking into that brand to start with!

[@lewiskevin1]

We have a couple of caves here on our land. Harlan Co. Ky.

[@Hemppie]

Very fascinating, we enjoy private caves most of all. You can do a thorough investigation of the caves that way. We normally don't pass up any invitations when asked to film a show Kevin. We appreciate you tuning and exploring with the Ozark Hippie Camp channel.

[@lewiskevin1]

@@Hemppie We live here in the Appellation Mountains in Harlan Ky. We are about 15 mile from Virginia and 25 mile from Tenn. This area has many civil war sites. We have Confederate and Damn Yankee graves. Most of the Union graves still have the bodies / bones in them I believe. Its all according to whom you ask. This area went back and forth from the north to the south many times. This is Coal Mine country. As far as trespassing .... Thats not a good idea around here. Folks raise pot and brew moonshine in these mountains. We are always armed when we hike up into our 11+ acres. We have never had a problem....yet. We also have bear, rattle snake, copper heads and bob cats. Some say the mountain lion has returned. If you wish, send us a friend request on Facebook. It will be Kevin Lewis. The cover is a pic of my wife and me with a mountain back ground. We can talk about an adventure. God Bless.

[@Hemppie]

@@lewiskevin1 How exciting Kevin. We live in the same terrain it sounds, so we know all about the critters here in the Irish Wilderness, the Ozark Hippie Camp is 11 acres surrounded by national forest. Looking forward to exploring out your way one day soon. We respect private property to the fullest and appreciate any all land owners that welcome us but never intrude here. We are thankful and gracious souls who share respect and love to all who receive. Kevin, I'll add you the Ozark Hippie Camp Facebook page and we'll collaborate and come up with a plan. Again we appreciate your kindness and looking forward to setting up an adventure together. Stay blessed your way brother Kevin!

I would go back about 10 metres dig down and then forward old mate it would be a lot of hard work but you could find more that way

[@Hemppie]

Thanks bother Alex, I'll certainly keep that in mind and see if it will produce some better finds.

[@davideo1954]

I just started watching, at one point I thought you grabbed holt of a snake. I mean, who wears green and yellow gloves? Do you use metal detectors? Keep up this important work!

[@Hemppie]

The gloves are safety colors. We don't have enough money to use the metal detector yet, but certainly saving up. Any good brands you recommend? Heard about Minelab

[@hh7407]

I hear they are closed off due to danger of collapse, but does anyone have any info or old photo or sketch of the caves people hid inside in Vicksburg, Mississippi, during the Civil War?

[@SvensktTroll]

How to take charge of the narrative: Burning everything and slap a sign up that it is done for your safety.. They are doing the same everywhere in the world..

[@overland.viking]

Also maybe bring a garden hoe (you can customize the length of the handle) and a military entrenching tool to help when dragging the dirt out.

Hey my friend!!! I just wanted to tell ya .....an easier way of digging. Now if ya want u could go buy you a weed eater an build u a wheel with flat paddles on it an it would pull the dirt right out fast an easy ....no more hard time consuming digging. Once u find something. Then dig with a short hole an shovel an masons trial...your welcome good hunting...now all it's going to cost u 4 this info,...is just mentioning my name an Blount co.alabama...just credit for me telling ya about how to do it easily 😀 that's all.thks brother.😊

Was this the best Kmart music to find non copyrighted

[@69kiwijon]

Great content will follow and see how you go, one thing not sure if you know but when you talk the music drowns you out so it just sounds like loud music with a muffled voice, would be great just listen to you taking as you dig instead if the.music? Up to you though just an idea

[@Ayerlooms]

Hey brother be careful digging around on those rock walls with backdrops like that. I had a family of mad rattlers once in one. I now build a fire and throw green twigs in and use a battery operated fan to drive em out. You’ll be amazed at how many copperheads and rattlers you see if you do what I do. I will never not use smoke again

[@Ayerlooms]

Doesn’t hurt the snakes and makes it safe for you and them.

[@Hemppie]

Thank you kindly for the heads up as I know the copperheads and timber rattlers are prevalent in this area of the Missouri Ozarks. Lucky I've been digging on some winter days but do realize the risk involved.

[@Hemppie]

Appreciate you watching out for a brother that's terrified of snakes!

[@panzermacher]

you won't find any cache of weapons, it's not how people think & I include soldiers in that, they'd have gone to the nearest creek or river & simply tossed the weapons in it, people/soldier more often than not do the things that require the least effort.

[@Hemppie]

There's rumored stories about them hiding a big amount of weapons or I wouldn't be digging. According to two separate locals, Zach Mackinzie I'll try to get an interview with him about his grandpa knowing about this legend of hidden weapons in a cave.

If this is an actual Civil War cave used by soldiers why isn't it protected from amateur archaeologists?
