The stone piece that you called a "grinding stone" looks like a vessel for holy water that you bless yourself with going into a church and the way out.

It's call a font

The year is 2121, Carpetbagger in his jet powered Crocs shows us how attractions have changed in the past 100 years whilst not looking a day past 40

Just remember the water doesn't protect against poisoned arrows, thats what got ol' Ponce.

Great ghost tours in St. Augustine !!

[@julianacromey7151]

The peacocks are a symbol of Beauty, youth, & vitality. Since they are at The Fountain of Youth... totally makes sense to have them there. Soooo beautiful 😍

[@gspeakman]

Happy belated birthday Jacob!

[@germanstein]

Oh st.augustine my favorite place

[@Fantasmister]

Was the Carpetbagger dropped in the fountain as a baby? Is that his secret? I say yes.

[@atypicalmom]

Being in FL in January looks absolutely heavenly.

[@patrickfairchild2330]

Best of luck for eternal youth - thanks for sharing.

[@acdcnut2011]

And that's when Jacob discovered that he would live forever.

[@boosociety999]

The stone bowl you said might be used for grinding is actually called a Holy Water Font. They are usually placed at the entrances of Catholic Churches. When parishioners enter the church they dip their fingers into the font and make the sign of the cross as to renew their covenant to Christ. Or maybe that one is just for grinding things. 😁

[@zanetaylor5639]

I am a life long Catholic and can say with serenity that the item at the church is a holy water fount.

[@nikofrost]

Wow I finally made it into a Carpetbagger video! You've been to two other places I work and this was the first time I was on shift that day. Kinda nice. I have always told people your videos should be the standard for travelogues. You un-cynically show attractions for what they are, and we can see for ourselves if we like it. You have remind us to take the time and stop to smell the flowers. Ty.

[@nikofrost]

@Cooking with the Kidd Ah, I wish I had been. I saw that one too. I wasn't in the blacksmith shop that day because the forge was suffering a once in seven years condition of needing repair. I fixed it pretty quick, but it took some days for the part (a "klinker breaker") to arrive. I did not realize the link between the two visits.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I appreciate it! Good show! Where else did you work?

[@RedneckTaZ]

"Muster" is gathering a milita or military unit together in one place.

[@jonathansteele9457]

Great fun place to visit,am in northern Ireland and probably never visit it myself

[@bryonyamada2620]

9:45 "MUSTER" Is a military term to Gather people together to account/inspect personnel for various tasks

[@bicentenialkid]

Thanks for another great video and I love history for sure.

I think Beverly, and it's St Augustine derivative, is definitely the secret to staying young forever, hahaha!

Great video! My girlfriend and I are going to St Augustine at the end of this month for a few days and will be goin to this museum.

Why Jacob, you don't look a day over 39.5 years. That item in the church was a baptismal fount.

[@skellydoom3860]

Being trapped in quarantine, strugglung with mental health issues and family issues, and dealing with medical issues is always totally forgotten whenever I watch your videos. Thank you for doing what you do, you are helping a lot of people feel like they are getting out of the house :)

[@lobbymccawker2083]

Peacocks - brilliant

[@d2mightydork649]

My 4-year-old was watching with me and she saw your hat on the dash and asked... "Is that a birthday cake?" hahaha

[@gayeyount7948]

I've seen the actual skeletons before they reburied. I'm glad they did that.

[@artsiguy]

The stone bowl is a baptismal font. It would have held holy water for baptizing infants. Many churches still have them.

[@micahjensen7407]

Would that be the same thing that people dip their fingers in the holy water and do the cross with?

[@artsiguy]

@@micahjensen7407 I believe so. I personally do not attend a church that uses these, but I have visited.

[@micahjensen7407]

@@artsiguy Oh cool

[@gamerguy980]

Baptismal font or holy water holder maybe?

[@PatrickGleason]

Growing up Catholic, that stone piece when you first walk in the church is a baptismal font. Catholics don't usually do a full submersion for a baptism, water is just poured over the head.

[@jg_in_hd]

My parents took me there as a kid. I remember it being pretty boring but this video makes me want to go

[@SantosChronicles]

You are the smart one here. Going down south is a smart idea right now. So cold and full of snow here in IL. I can use some of that Fountain of Youth!!! I like how you are putting more history in your videos. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@micahjensen7407]

I will never see peacocks the same after one kicked me when I was younger

[@CosmosTheMouse]

I hope you're prepared to make travel videos for the rest of eternity.

[@racheldelgado5646]

I miss seeing you in your pith helmet. Fun vlog.

[@sadgirlmoody1664]

Worth a mention there's a few more little things there that are worth checking out in Savannah there's some kind of lovers tree in the graveyard out there with a story and . Finley O'Connor author.would make good walk around video story's and the river walk

[@brucegwynn8509]

This is the coolest channel on youtube, period and bar none , great stuff in every video , no cussing, no drama , purely educational and should be used in elementary schools, we would watch things very similar to this in the earl 70s when I was a child, it's like a upgraded sesame street always teaching manners and this guy adds history to it, great job jacob, pow !!!

[@singleladyable]

St Augustine my favorite city in FL.So much history there and the people are so sweet.I’ve been there and really had a great time.Yes I tasted the youth water.It tasted like swamp water to me.I wish it would have made me younger-I’d like to go backward a few years.It was a great tour.💯👍

[@toreygriffin4997]

Florida is actually known for its great drinking water ! The lime stone aquifer has some of the cleanest water in the world . We have beautiful springs everywhere .

[@MikeTyson913]

Poor tap water in Florida is attributed to the two ecological emergencies the state experienced in 2018. During the summer of 2018 red tide microorganisms flooded into the Gulf of Mexico, and toxic blue-green algae flowed into rivers, lakes, and oceans. Additionally, the state experiences high levels of fertilizer and other pollutants due to the freshwater algae blooms. Natural disasters often affect Florida’s water as hurricanes and storms result in flooding, which in turn affect the water systems.

[@sandramcclure2598]

Not in Daytona!

[@spacecoastkid5033]

If you're talking about well water, then you're crazy, it sucks! If you're drinking unfiltered tap water, you're crazy! Reverse osmosis is the only way to go.

[@anubisvegeta89]

I've always wanted to go there and i been in Saint agustine 2 times but for working thanks for showing us this place also tha round stone in the church if for holy water

Do you feel younger now after being at the fountain ⛲️ of youth. Lol.

[@kyleh698]

How interesting!!!! thanks man!

[@mcwatersd]

Love your sense of humor. In the church that looked like a baptismal font. Maybe they bathed babies in water from the fountain of youth so they would never grow old. Peacocks are beautiful but the ones in the arboretum in Cali were vicious. That is a very pretty park. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤

[@Ava_Orchid]

Its a font for holy water :) Either a baptismal font or just a vestibule

[@NanaBowana]

The stone thing in the church is probably for holy water. When you go into a church you dip your fingers into the holy water and do the sign of the cross on yourself before mass.

[@Elvisfan2026]

I have been there and it was so cool

[@marcusb4170]

I’m guessing since the stone was inside of the church it’s probably was meant to hold the holy water where people would draw a cross on there forehead with it before they entered the church.

[@kinas3973]

Sign of the cross. T ouch your third eye & draw a line to your heart./ Solar plexus...then cross that line vertically from right shoulder to left

[@TreadwellJay]

Sulphur taste comes from a well or spring that isn't very deep. Water coming from way down in the Florida aquifer is pure.

[@thebootlegger5258]

I live in st. augustine... I am responsible for the painting at Fountain of Youth.... Cool place and nice people working there.. go check it out if you haven't been...

[@chrisnixon1991]

you just got 20 years younger by drinking a glass of that water!

[@kinas3973]

It's a holy water font... usually kept near the entrance of a Catholic church or in a separate alcove/room called a baptistery.... you dip your finger tips into the holy water & make the sign of the cross as you enter a Catholic church...

The tap water here in Savannah is safe and excellent
