Our History Project Board Meeting and the Future
Cassie and I personally are going to step back this week to reflect on the past seven months and get a game plan together for the next physical year which is coming on fast. We have hit a home run on the entertainment side with our shows. That we can see from our numbers and even on 1000mikes.com in just being there 4 short weeks we now hold #3 in the top shows on that site. That says a lot. We have a lot of listeners, made some great friends and for that we are successful.
The other side is the financial part and the funds that will take us to that next level and further our vision and enhance our mission. On that we have had almost no support at all. A few great people have came forward and for that I am grateful, your funds, time resources and gifts have gone to a great cause and every penny was pinched to make it go that much further. Thank you.
Is this project going away? No. There will be some changes coming with a focus on what and how we can remain funded to further our mission and vision. For that I am excited because what it says is that we have put together a winning product and idea. It is like now is the time to get started.
Again, I invite you to listen, give feedback and support. Everyone has heard the JFK speech “Ask not what your country can do for you …”, but few remember the 6th paragraph in that same speech “..United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do - for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds or split asunder.”
We are at a crossroads and we want to refocus and put forth our best. Anything less would be an insult to us and to you. It is our contention to focus our time, energy, talents and funds where we can do the most good as it relates to our non-profit venture.
We want your input, that’s why we did this as a non-profit in the first place. The history is ours - The memory is ours - and The future is ours.

OHP Radio In The Dirt Halloween Special
A correction - we were talking in the show on the base minimum that OHP needs to operate I wrongly said $3000 and that would be correct with everything combined (software and equipment) doing the very least that we could do. The correct figure for hosting, websites bandwidth and storage is $1650 yearly just to maintain the space. As you can see this leaves no room for growth, projects or general operating expenses (lights, phone, rent etc.). As you can see we need your help to keep this project going. Any amount will be helpful and you can donate or sign up for a membership, supporter or sponsor on our website or just contact me craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com .
Our Grant writing will start soon so if you have experience in this process and could either volunteer to write or to review Grants that we write, please let us know. In November we will be on the 50 State National Registry which is required by most Grants.
So, keep your eyes and ears open for us on historical or art related grants.
Monday

OHP Radio - Eric Hammel - Where did it all come from?
The question we try and answer today is "Where did all this come from?" We explore what America did pre-war to bring about all that was seen that faithful morning. The planning, the companies, the material, the training and the foresight to bring it all together.

To learn more about Eric Hammel and his books visit his Bio page here or visit his site Eric Hammel Books.

OHP RADIO - Captain Dale Dye
Also, starting this week you can purchase HQ copies of the show. The cost is $5 per CD. A $2 shipping charge will apply but only to one of them - so you can order 50 copies and still only be $2 shipping. AND, YES - IT'S TAX DEDUCTABLE!
All shows will still remain free online (no change there). All the shows we post are recorded at 48 bits and these CD's will be at 192 bit, Just a cleaner sound. The difference is also the size. We try and keep the downloads under 30MB in size while the CDs do not limit the size for audio.

Wow, it’s great to be back….and rested.
This week Butch and I explore just a little bit of what could happen if professional and amateur archeologists and amateur metal detectorist were working together. How much we could accomplish together and what impact would it have on our history and research?
I do want to say now that this is happening more and more, especially in the southeast and both sides are seeing the benefits.

OHP Radio - Digging at the Museum!
I bet there are a lot of folks who have not explored you local flavor of history. I’m no exception in this either. I went for years traveling the country and seeing all I could see and never looking around at what is here in front of me. Yes, I hit the biggies but not the smaller places. What I found is I missed a lot and you would be surprised at what can be found if you just take the time to look.
Folks, these are hard times and a lot of these local, county or regional historic places are closing- Maybe for a day, maybe two or maybe forever. Don’t let our history disappear lets go visit.
Have a great week,

Winner Announcement
Thanks to all our listeners and the letter while it may not have your name on it, is written for you too, its from the heart and I wanted to share it with you.
Guys,
Thanks for playing and as always thanks for listening. This project would be no where without ya. It is hard to believe that we have came so far in just a short time August 28th will mark our 5th month anniversary, yes 5 months. We have had a lot of gracious things said about our show, by not only fans but our industry as well. Please continue to help us spread the word about Our History Project and our efforts as a nonprofit organization bent on persevering and educating America on our history. That sounds a little funny to me because we have a lot of overseas listeners as well that I am in contact with.
Do me a favor, over the next couple of weeks can you burn 10 disks (CDs) and hand them out to others who may not have not heard the show? Any one of the shows will do.
It would help us get the word out so to speak. Tell everyone about us and if you have suggestions, comments or criticisms please let me know. You are the rock on which this project is formed because you are some of the first here and if we screw up we need to know. If we can make it better then we need to know that to.
Before we get started I want to thank all of our sponsors that made this possible, please visit them often so we can have more events like this in the future:
John Rigdon - www.researchonline.net
Mark Owen - www.hallowedgroundartifacts.com
John Walsh - http://www.fortdonelsonrelics.com
Butch Holcombe - www.americandigger.com
Ian Conway - www.researchandrecoveryshow.com
Ok, here is what everyone's waiting on….Drum roll please!
1st place: Mark H. from AL. : Grand prize as we mentioned with the exception of Mark we upgraded the cuff eagle to an Eagle I Button and the southern papers to the complete OR on CD. Woohoo! That is courtesy of John Walsh at Fort Donaldson Relics.
The race was close, very close in fact under 5 minutes close, so remember when I said there may be more to the contest than what you thought well - yep there is.
2nd place goes to Steve F from VA: This include the Eagle cuff button, what I believe is a bullet puller/extractor , a cut bullet, a book, a Research & Recovery DVD, OHP Membership and last but not least the Southern Papers (52 Vol. set) On CD!
Good Job Guys!!!! Your both winners!
And, its not over yet - Remember I said don't stop there may be something more…… Yep there was!
3rd place goes to Mike from TN: You get a book and a one year Membership!
And
4th place goes to: Ed from GA who also gets a Book is now a card carrying member of Our History Project!
That's it folks, Ian and I want to thank you again for all you do, you're the reason we are here and the reason we are staying.
Thanks,

In The Dirt Live!
This week was a great one, a tiring one. It was one where everything did not work out as planned on Saturday because for whatever reason the first part of the morning did not record. We missed a great in the dirt segment and some interviews with Mark Hudson, Arthur Cook and Bill Yarborough. The good part is that Butch and was joined by Cassie and we did another one on Sunday, which is what you will here today and I know all of the above mentioned to get their stories again.
It was a great show and I really had a blast. Thanks to all that came out especially Mark and his crew from Southeast Treasure Hunters that came from Alabama. It was a pleasure to meet everyone and we hope to do it again soon.
A special for today – After the “In the Dirt Segment” of Our History Project be sure to listen to the long awaited interview that Butch and I had with the Legendary Jimmy Sierra as we discuss the Whites Brand line of Detectors. For those of you that are looking to upgrade or just get it the hobby of metal detecting, Jimmy does a great job breaking down the product line on which one is best for you. We also talked about the history of Whites Electronics and what the future may hold.

It’s a Revolution and we are not talking about the Beetles! This past weekend I went on vacation and got to explore the Battlefields of Kings Mountain and Cowpens and get back to the part of history that I am not so well versed in. I learned a lot and the learning did not stop when I got home. Butch knowing that I was off to seek adventure in the 1700’s pulled out a story for my return.
In our "In the Dirt with American Digger" segmet this week we learned:

Our History Project – “In the Dirt with American Digger” Wednesday
Our new format is going to put the “In the Dirt with American Digger” segment to be released on Wednesdays. This is a popular part of our program and well; I have a great time with Butch. There are many times when we ramble about the important part of relic and treasure hunting and times we just spend having a good time. This new format will allow time to be spent on the things that matter (information and how to’s) without the small time constraint we were on.
Most segments will still be 15-20 minutes in length but it will give us the additional time when needed, to go longer.
Enough of the Explanation! On with the Show!
This week we learn about “Bottle Hunting”! What it is, how to do it, what to look for, what tools to bring and the do-s and don’t-s.
This is something I have never tried but I know it is very popular in some circles and I do know that there are plenty of collectors out there. Come and join us as Butch introduces us to the sport (?) of “Bottle Hunting”.
