Diggin in Virginia proved to be a stellar hunt yet again at Brandy Rock Farm. I was fortunate enough to find a Confederate Block "I" button, along with a number of other cool glass and metal finds from several trash pits.

  • It can only be those who are purely jealous who put a thumbs down. These digs are absolutely amazing to watch. I get excited when I see each item that each of you pull out of the pits 😀 Awesome video man 👍👍

    I am from the Uk. I stumbled across this type of video where American History is being rediscovered. I find your videos fascinating and at the same time emotional. I share your excitement at all your discoveries and as I see the bottles etc seeing the light of day after so many years, I can’t help think of the suffering of the soldiers on both sides. I wish I could be there with you to help and share in this marvellous venture. God Bless America and it’s great people.

    I grew up in Brandy Station and went to the Culpeper County school system all 12 years. (I'm now 71)  My dad had a farm nearby and I use to hunt the fields...not for Civil War relics but for arrowheads.  Use to find the buttons/bullets/artillery shells (near Remington) and could care less, I wanted the arrowhead!   I even had members of my family in Mosby's Rangers.  Your video makes me want to go back now!

    HOLY SMOKES ! What a find. Isn't it a trip touching history? My friend and i cut the last 2 classes in high school ourjunior year. We went riding our dirt bikes in the woods in NJ. This place had history but we had no idea how much. In the revolution it was considered wilderness and where we were there was a forge hidden from the Britts. We both wiped out in this hole that wasn't there a few days earlier. We found what looked like RR tracks but really small . We dug and dug and found 6 cannon balls in the hole. Being stupid kids we grabbed 2 and raced back to school to talk to our teacher who was not only the teacher of the MILITARY HISTORY CLASS WE CUT but he was an expert in all things americsn military. We busted ito class and he was yelling at us until we dropped the 2 cannon balls . He immediately said "class dismissed" he got in his car and followed a far as he could until he had to walk. We put him in the back of the dirt bike and drove him back to the LOST FORGE . For months after we got to see the dig. It was awesome. Even though we could have kept some. We have it all to the museums .. I have been touching history since

    So love your channel. Aquachigger got me into Civil war relics and I've been hooked ever since to the point I know more about the civil war than I do about the wars in my own country ENGLAND. You guys take it one step further. Great video! Thank you for sharing.

    Anthony, thanks for answering my question. I came in, in about the middle so I was a little confused. I love the Civil War History.

    This video is so cool. My parents lived on Brandy Rock farm in the late 70's.

    How cool is this,I have to wonder if curry combs wore out enough to throw that many away at one time? Dangggg the only thing that didn't come out of that hole was is what I use to wash the dishes. Great video boys. ,nice to hear the giggles from grown men, looking forward to seeing more.
