  • Congratulations Todd on your first watch tool! You also found some more miners tags, so cool! Thanks for showing me how to cook ramps properly! I appreciate the adventures you take us on! Thanks again.

    Very nice video Todd. I really enjoyed the ramp lesson. Thanks for sharing!
  • 😭I miss them ramps a lot. Nothing can substitute that flavor...Great find!
  • @JokersWild139
    Would love to try a Ramp. Congrats on the watch winder too....fun video
  • Engaging pleasant style makes it easy to listen and learn some stuff. Ramps were new and something to look for in the woods. A miner's tag was unknown to someone who does not live in Appalachia.

    I have never eaten ramps, but I have heard of them. Hopefully, some day I’ll get to have some. I absolutely cook every day with onions and garlic, so I know everyone in my house will love them. Very informative video, thank you. 😊

    My grandparents ate ramps in Pennsylvania. My mom used to talk about how good they tasted. Both my grandpaps were coal miners also.

    Todd, What a nice diversity of things, usefully or otherwise:) Your home has a nice Cathedral ceiling, really nice light and I bet the view is awesome. Was that your better half, the G.G.C graduate, in the background? Cheers, Rik Spector

    Those ramps were definitely the treasure of the day. I got my schooling on ramps by the Cranberry river in Richwood wv...which is by the way, the ramp capital of the world.
  • Awesome hunt congrats on your watch winding key I like to boil my ramps then fry with scrambled eggs and then put vinegar over em but definitely fry em in iron skillet with bacon grease mmmmm boy my mouth is watering just thinking bout em lol God Bless and happy dirt fishin…Virgil

    I first learned about ramps when I moved to western North Carolina for a few years. I think I preferred eating them uncooked.
  • @RonaldDailey-z8b
    Are all the miners tags from mine digester. Sorry for my spelling.

    I would have swung around the block remnants of the filled in spring head. A good 20' radius around that, even into the creek. But it's always disappointing when you realize a relic site has been filled in with later topsoil. One way to tell ahead of time is, can you see the roots of the trees in the area? Or is the dirt above the root line? That's one way to know.

    The real treasure was the friends you made along the way.
