These old hand dug wells are a testament to to the work ethic and gumption of early settlers.

Keep up the great work. It’s always interesting to see what you find.

The late Ricky Nelson had a hit back in the late 1950’s called, My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It😂!! My big sister had a little red and white suitcase record player, and she just about played that dad blamed song to death🤣! Robert, you look just like a picture of a Confederate soldier I saw in a history book years ago. I came across your wonderful channel and for some reason, that resemblance was one of the reasons I subscribed. I keep on thinking that if I watch you long enough, I’ll finally remember the name of that book from long ago! I know it had something to do with Matthew Brady or another war photographer from the same period who I think had the last name of Gardner. I’m a Civil War buff, I’m afraid. I also want to commend you on the respect that you and your friends show when you visit the old graveyards. You men are truly remarkable in that respect, and I’m thankful that your mamas raised y’all right, God bless them! You said recently that you’ve been sick and you have been having a couple of other problems in your life, including family problems, and Robert, I truly believe that God will get you through it, and this old Christian lady will be praying for you👵🏻🙏🏻. God bless you, young Cody, and “the other Robert” who, if I weren’t still hitched to my man, I might be tempted to wink and flutter what’s left of my eyelashes at him😍!!!

[@tashasmith6179]

That's so sweet and I bet the other Robert would be flattered ☺️

[@BBSYDmom]

Would love to see more magnet fishing in old areas!! So heart warming and memories.

[@y-mefarm4249]

Our old farmhouse was built in 1850. We have 3 wells on the farm. Never thought to put a magnet down them. Guess I will go buy a magnet. Lol

[@pamelabugh1812]

It would be interesting to see what you could find magnet fishing in the Well in the woods where you found the three toilets.

[@carolb29]

I was just going to post the same thing when I saw yours. I thought that was the one he was at at first

[@pamelabugh1812]

[@pamelabugh1812]

@Victor Smit I don't think they would be fishing in the toilets. 🤔 At least I hope not.

[@rowanspiritwalker6667]

The bottomless pot that came up......it is speckled enamel covered steel, commonly known as "granite ware" or "granny ware" since a lot of people back in the day had whole sets of them. What you have looks like it was once a stew pot (and got used for target practice too). Not big enough to be a water bath canner. Good find!

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Thiss entire old pkace is just so cool. You can almost feel the memories of peaceful loving times.

[@BBSYDmom]

I was thinking the same thing 😊

[@shellydehart8217]

Even though this video was a year old it still was fun seeing what you’d find. I have to agree with one comment as that pot was enamel ware n that hammer head was cool n looked pretty old. It was fun. ♥️😊👍👍🐶

[@P.B.Theriver]

Lowering a camera with a light attachment would show what the bottom of the well looks like and help locate treasures. Probably a lot of nice bottles down there.

[@jimmorrison6357]

Thank you. That was so interesting and fun from looking at the construction of the house to what you found in the well.

[@pt2575]

A good well is something to be appreciated. It is a gift.

[@23Josilee]

Well, ya never know, most of us never heard of such a thing, but you two guys are doing a great job retrieving unexpected objects !!! What a hoot !!!

[@ExploringAlabama]

Hard to beat magnet fishing a well, its one spot and only one. I have myself convinced there is a gun in every one lol, great vid!

[@2palmsresort278]

I can't stop singing the line from Carroll County Accident, "By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well..." What a fascinating video.

[@teyjahxaveriss6270]

A little before Sesame.Street! "There's a Hole in My Bucket" (or "...in the Bucket") is a children's song, based on a dialogue between two characters, called Henry[a] and Liza, about a leaky bucket. The song describes a "deadlock" situation: Henry has a leaky bucket, and Liza tells him to repair it. To fix the leaky bucket, he needs straw. To cut the straw, he needs a knife. To sharpen the knife, he needs to wet the sharpening stone. To wet the stone, he needs water. But to fetch water, he needs the bucket, which has a hole in it. In honour of the song, people celebrate National Hole in My Bucket Day on May 30 every year.[5] "There's a Hole in My Bucket" Nursery rhyme Published circa 1700

[@richardcoram1562]

A lot of records made with versions of that bucket with a hole in it! Sonny Burgess, Sun Records Memphis Tennessee. Hank williams did the best version because he was experienced .🍻😁

[@danhutson3460]

I had family members who still had a well when I was growing up. I was always afraid that someone would fall in one, but they never did. The water was always so cool & on a hot summer day that water hit the spot.

[@dirtfarmer7070]

Our house is still spring fed. City water runs right by but the spring water tastes better.

Love you guys. You always entertain and give us a history lesson.. 👍👍❤️

[@wendymacmullen6480]

Did Harris County GA see much action during the Civil War? 1827 is early architecture, American Colonial. Was it originally built as a one story or did you see evidence of a crooked or sharply turned staircase? Finding the original flooring would be great. Did you find the round wooden pegs hammered into square holes? That's great news it was built prior to 1830!

[@rikspector]

I grew up in a late Victorian farmhouse and the well behind the house, the one in the Yankee cellar and across the street in our chicken coops cellar , were all hand dug and lined with brick. and I'll always wonder what was in them after watching this episode. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@NanaMom104A]

now that's a beautiful bucket of water, brings back memories of my childhood.

[@nickev96]

More please 🙏 love ❤ it.

[@danielulz1640]

I'll bet somebody got fussed at good and proper for losing the dip pot down the well.

[@einsaan]

There is a lot of silt and sand that gets deposited in the bottom of these wells and most of the stuff gets sucked into it pretty quickly. Most of the old stuff is deep in the layers of this slurry and magnets won't be able to pick them up.

[@JustAnAverageBrad]

some of those iron bits were probably nails or little wedges to hold the hammer handle in the head

[@darringraham2613]

Fun fact/ should have played the old song, there's a hole in the bucket Liza from Sesame Street🤣

[@fjb4932]

"There's A Hole In the Bucket, Dear Liza" was sung on the school bus in Japan in 1958. And it was an Old song even back then ...

[@lindastewart3720]

I look forward to watching your video's.

[@badzbradzgoodyz6477]

I'm sure well was not dug by hand. In the 1800s they had a boring machine that was turned by a horse. The reason I'm suggesting that is, that my grandfather had a boring rig. My dad still has it. The last time I used it was in 1992.

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Well done great finds

[@nancylitton390]

That was one good well!!!!

[@maryr7800]

I don't know how I missed this video. Interesting things you found in that well. I haven't seen a ball-peen hammer head for a long time.

I wonder if the souls and spirits of the past are standing there watching you, just to see whatcha find!

[@karynbrown7519]

You'll have to get somebody to make you a big glass fronted memory box. Most of the things you have found need to be preserved for future generations!

[@sandragreer9675]

Wish I could tag along on some adventures! Retired lots of free time!

On the porch ceiling the nail heads were rectangular, similar to horse shoe nails. I saw nails like that in a house we used to live in built in 1875.

I gurentee you if you have a 360 degree magnet(all around magnet, strong style magnet), you would've found much more. Single sided magnets are also perfect for well magnet fishing.

How did they dig these wells 194 years ago? Obviously by hand but does anyone know how they got down deep?

There's a Well inside of a pub in my local town in England. Has been there since the c1600 Named the Black Swan but everybody calls it The Dirty Duck have done for centuries.

[@ellenchappell1574]

I bet that water tasted awesome!

[@lisasmith7854]

Yes that's what they used to fetch water with. Rope broke or extra bucket got knocked in while leaning over well or bumped in.

[@panelman84]

My in-laws had a well just like this in Kennesaw GA in the early 80's. My wife's brother let the bucket down one night, only to realize too late, that there was a cat asleep in the bucket! I am sorry to say it did not make it. My father in-law got a two-man winch and tied a rope around his waist, and his sons lower him down. He used a hoe to retrieve that poor cat. When he got back up, he poured bleach in the well. :(

[@bethshadid2087]

Love the home. Don't make them with character and craftsmanship much anymore 😓. I bet that water taste Soooo good 😋

[@tinaoneill6746]

i cant believe who ever dug that well didnt give up half way down

[@karynbrown7519]

Wonderful. Please repurpose! Beautiful clean water!

[@BitterDemo]

I used to be a well Diggers son and had to go down in them all the time. Always send a lantern down before ever entering any well.

[@mrspankytank2858]

Since the water is so clear y’all should send down a GoPro with a light. I’ve always wanted to do that. Since it’s so narrow of a space have it facing downward to view the bottom. I think about doing this with all wells I come across.

[@thistlemoon1]

That’s great there’s still water in that well. We lost so many wells during the drought in the late 80’s early 90’s. How deep is it?

[@paulgrimm6850]

You imagine the work it took to dig a well back then?

[@bluesingmusic3443]

I thought there would've been more stuff in that well.

[@redpepper5984]

Our old house had a well. A modernized one, with a motor, so you didn't have to use the pot to get the water out. I was always afraid our cat would fall in there.

[@kittenonacloud1012]

Our indoor cat once ventured next door and got himself wedged between the metal fence and their shed. He was too afraid to go into the open space of the yard so stayed there meowing helplessly at us. We tried attaching an extension cord to a laundry basket and threw it over. The clever thing hopped in like he knew we were rescuing him. :) Thought I'd share since it would work for pits and such too.

Orrr.... How could a bucket get into a bottom of a well?? 🤔

[@badapple65]

Just imagine back in the day, being the poor soul that had to be in the bottom of the well filling buckets with dirt one bucket at a time while someone pulled them up. I’m sure that there were plenty of cave-in situations.

[@royrice8597]

Wait until you latch on to that old V8 block………👍👍👍

[@jeffreylockhart8292]

I think they would only drop a bucket down there and keep the water as clean as possible

[@fjb4932]

As this video plainly shows, many things were dropped in, intentionally and not ...

Is that the original well? My guess based on the walls is no....
