Metal Detecting Old farm Fields of Tennessee

[@donaldgarmon7368]

Thank You Donnie for another great video! The triangular piece of steel with the two holes is a cutter tooth from an old sickle-bar mowing machine. The holes were for the rivets to attach the tooth to the reciprocating tooth-bar. It might have been horse-drawn and ground powered, or it could be a later one powered by a tractor. Many different companies made those old mowers, and many are still in use even today. Keep up the good work, and Good Luck on finding your treasures!

Look at these things, especially that can lid.. At some point in time, tired, hard working hands of a Momma or Granny screwed that lid to feed her family. Some Daddy put that door latch on to protect his precious family.. Nails that held a house together and made someone a home.. What amazing finds. Thank you for sharing these adventures and finds. For taking us to a time where precious simple folks were trying to survive. These things were precious to them. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you again.

Jack, I'm no spring chicken and I don't think the world is terrible. Enjoy your memories, but don't live in the past. Approach each day with as much joyful anticipation as you can muster, be open to new experiences and you'll be fine. You may be disappointed a time or two, but that is all. The world is wonderful, it is a few people that are terrible. Avoid them and then limit your TV watching. Live your best life.

Thanks for the "Reality Check"! After seeing tons of videos of metal detecting where one would find a pot of gold I decided to buy a metal detector. I live in deep Southeast Georgia.. I searched an old homesite for a day and found nothing. I was complaining to an elder resident of the area and he smiled and told me that if they lost a nickel they would spend hours looking for it. LOL... "Thore haint nair a penny ta be found around heer." LOL" He was correct..

I do it for the outdoors, and the exercise. There are about 25 pieces of metal in this video. If everyone reading this would go from standing up, to all the way down on the ground,and standing up, swinging a 3-4 lb detector with one arm in between each time, they would see how much exercise that is.

[@tthomp57]

Another good video Donnie! You talked about respect. I think that's one of the main reasons I love watching your videos so much; your respect for God, nature, other peoples property and other people. That's rare these days. So many people just don't have respect anymore, except us old timers and a few young people, like the kids at my church. I still shoot a lot of 45 ACP, but more 9mm. It's cheaper to reload but nothing's cheap anymore. 30 years ago I could reload 45 ACP for about $4 bucks a box. These days primers are nearly $100/thousand. That's nearly $5 bucks a box just for primers! I keep hoping prices will come back down a little. Thanks again for all these videos.

I always been told look around old homes, fence posts, large rocks and even trees. Where folks would use these as markers for burying money or other objects of value. Also it was known some folks would hide valuables in window frames, where them old windows would slide up and down in or in the spot where window weights would travel in. Even those old window weights are of value, but I ain't gonna tear up a house to check it out. Ain't respectful. One time We were adding steel and flooring in a school. The walls were filled with news papers dating back to 1947. They uses for insulation.

I love watching vids like this. But feel kinda sad for the old homesteads. I look at them and wonder what it was like back then. A passel of kids running around. Mamma in the door, baby on her hip, looking out so see what mischief the youngin's are getting into. Men out in the fields working. Or maybe Grandma or Grandpa rocking on the porch just reflecting. Any number of things. Then what ever you dug up gets me to thinking...who was the last person to use that? Did they lose it and was looking for it or???? I love history. My cousin and I do detecting here. But we never dig up near what you find. But Oregon hasnt been homesteaded for as long as the south or east has..
