OHP - Rednecks and Hillbillies the True Story

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:

The origins of the Hillbillies and/or Rednecks may not be what you expect. Join us and hear the true story. Also, you can take the Tours of the battlefields with me as I post the shots I took while on the road. I will post them on our Forum: http://ourhistoryproject.lefora.com/forum/

Our History Project - In the Dirt with American Digger - 06-24-09

Folks, this week Butch and I did not solve the world’s problems or really made a difference in anyway. But, we did have a great time and you will learn a lot. From Relic Shows to Laundering Money to how much of a difference you make in Our History Project. It’s all there.

Take a drink of water before listening and this is one that driving while listening is not recommended. Be ready to laugh. Come on and spend 30 minutes with us you will not be disappointed with this one.

Oh, there is a giveaway on this one (The Illustrated Directory of The Old West, by William C. Davis) so listen and find out how you can win. A chance to win something and a good time, what more can you ask for?

OHP - On The Air

I want to thank Tim Weisberg, Mat Costa and Mat Moniz for inviting me on to Spooky Southcoast Radio WBSM 1420 Saturday night and letting me talk about Our History Project. We talked history but they have an awesome paranormal show if that is up your alley. Listen to the show Saturday’s 10-midnight, the station has an online stream of the show. This coming week they will be discussing the Bridgewater Triangle and the King Philip’s War.

Our History Project – “In the Dirt with American Digger” – Getting Started in Metal Detecting: The Beginners Guide

This week we on Our History Project’s “In the Dirt with American Digger” segment we host what you would call the Beginners Guide to the Hobby of Metal Detecting. From the stores, to the machines, to the places to hunt. The contacts, groups, strategies and more, it’s all here.

So if you have ever had the question asked of you your asked just to yourself – “What do you find with that thing?” Or better yet –“How do I get me one?” Then this show is for them - or you.

Our History Project is Nonprofit and open sourced, we promote Preservation and Education of our history, and as I have always said – “That starts with you!” – and in this show we will tell you how.

If you would like this show hosted by a player on your site or your business site send me an email and I will supply the code, it’s free. It will put a player on your page just like we have on ours (nothing to install and nothing goes on your server). If you would like I can even take off the opening comments (just let me know). The main goal of this episode is to promote our hobby in a positive light and give a basic foundation on which to grow. Bringing new blood into our world of research, history and preserving artifacts can only increase our understanding of the past.

Pass this show around folks!

Our History Project – “In the Dirt with American Digger” Wednesday

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”.
