This is a follow-up video to the tour of the Jacksonville, Alabama home that Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard used as a headquarters in October 1864.
I was granted permission so early in the morning I began metal detecting a historic 1850 home site. I was informed that the property has been detected many, many times before by historical societies, college historians and archaeologists. However, I was grateful for the opportunity to metal detect the property.

What a privilege, to get the opportunity to detect that property! I love old iron, so I think the hook is very cool!❤

Me too. I had to leave it with the house. I would feel bad if I took it.

Very cool that that they allow folks to detect there!

Lane is very cool and he loves history like we do, just in a different way. He is into structural preservation. I told him I would bring another detector with me the next time I visit so he can detect too.

I totally agree with you Mike. Getting the opportunity to detect an historic place. Sometimes that’s better than what you found. They need to bush hogged that back area. You definitely are cleaning that place up. He seemed like a pretty nice guy. Thanks for sharing Mike

He is working on clearing out the back of the property. Good thing I was invited back... plus he is going to try to set up a hunt at some other historic homes too.

That’s awesome. Connections are the key. It definitely looks like it has some potential. Good luck when going back

All that area should be bush-hogged by the time I re-visit. Some sites are like that when you have limited time on a permission. Thanks for watching.

What a great place to detect ! I am sure you are thinking there just has to be more there. The iron piece is interesting

@Metal-Detecting-NC 4 ай бұрын

That is exactly what I am thinking. I was there for only a few hours, and one of those hours was spent hacking through the picky bushes. I was invited back. We'll see what the next visit brings

Thank you. I was invited back too. The brambles will be cut by then.

It was fun even though not a lot was found. Perhaps on the next visit I might find some good stuff when those brambles are bush-hogged.

@treasuretom13 4 ай бұрын

Nice start Mike! Interesting iron piece..just wondering how feasible it would be to 1) get a weed wacker for the rough areas and/or 2) ask for permission to use your propointer and hand shovel to scour that basement!🍀

@Metal-Detecting-NC 4 ай бұрын

I'm sure he will let me scan the dirt floor. Plus he did say he is going to bush-hog those brambles. Hacking through that stuff by hand is a lot of work

Do you remember the brand of shovel you are using in your video? I have the same one and have worn it down to half that size over the years and need a new one. I love that small shovel. Thanks, Doug in NC

@Metal-Detecting-NC 4 ай бұрын

Yes, it is a Lesche T-handle. I bought it on Amazon. There are several handle lengths to choose from. The one I got is a little long since I use it as a cane. LoL 😆

Do you have a special method for archiving your finds?

@Metal-Detecting-NC 4 ай бұрын

At most historic sites, I give the relics back to the homeowner. But I do bag and label finds from particular hunts. I am planning to make a "relic room" in my house to display some of my nicest finds.
