I guess I was raised differently because I can't imagine stealing parts of someone else's home or dumping my trash on their property. It must have been a grand home in its day.

USA has over 150 ABANDONED uranium mines (3 per state) In 2020 the government inspected them and said they have no plans to clean them up. They pose no threat to the community, and will always be abandoned sites for mining operations. Is it stealing if I go in there and take 10 pounds of radium from a tailing pile? Or some form of clean up? Recycling is a way of life.

Mr Dan is a treasure!!!! A walking historian. How I would love to sit around a old pot belly wood burning stove, listening to him spin tales of the things from the past. A past that is slipping away from us daily. Thank you guys for taking us back!!!!!

I have restored a plantation house here in Martin, Tn. that looks identical to this one and was built in the early 1830's. Mine had not been lived in for many years and had no windows or doors. After seven hard years of restoring, I finally moved in Aug. 1988. Now I have it filled with antique furniture and a player pipe organ. Love every minute of it. Thanks for showing this beautiful homes history.

As much as I enjoy the history, I always get a creepy feeling when Robert goes onto these old slave plantations and graveyards. It's like hearing the description of the living accommodations for the commander of a forced work camp in Nazi Germany or post war Viet Nam. It sends a chill through me. I think Robert does an excellent job of being both informative, respectful of the reality of Antebellum history while being apolitical. This is what keeps me watching.

I'd love to go there and bring a metal detector with me! House in picture, stood out, it was beautiful. So sad for the heirs by the 60's house burned down and knowing pieces of the house (like the windows) were in other people's homes. I'd look at it this way, at least some pieces were kept though they were stolen by those young brats that used the empty house to drink and relive the glory of the South. But there is a piece of history buried on that foundation! Thank you for taking me out there. The woods are beautiful.
