Long overdue but “In the Dirt” is back. What a way to start the New Year too! Butch….our resident Psychic dons his swami turban and gives us his predictions of 2010. Can he be right? Should we keep track? We also talked about some great articles that appeared in this issue of American Digger Magazine including “The Pig War” and “The Frozen Charlottes”. We also have some updates for our Monday Night Relic Roundup plus a whole lot more!

OHP Radio - Finding Slavery
Today Butch and I take a look into Slavery, its trade, its past and some items that part of our dark history left behind. You may be thinking that the advent of slavery started when the white man first set foot on North American soil but we take a deeper look into the topic. In this country the focus will always be on the Enslaved Africans and rightly so and Our History Project is proud to engage in the topics of our history and our future. This may seem like a depressing topic but as always we make history fun. So, sit back, relax and join us as we introduce another “In the Dirt with American Digger” sement.
Have a great week,
Craig

OHP Radio In The Dirt Halloween Special
Today Butch brings us some strange but true stories from the field. A hair-raising good time will be had by all, guaranteed.
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
Our Relic Round Up Show #2 was a complete success again. Thanks to all that stopped by. There was some minor problems with skype on the call-in’s but we did have a good turn out. Topics included today in history, the History Channels show Death Mask, Halloween Ledgends and more. Join us each Monday night at 10PM est. for the Live Show. Call in Number is 678-369-7943 or by skype: wesley.c.anderson.

In the Dirt with American Digger Segment –
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?

OHP Radio "In the Dirt with American Digger" - A New War Is Waging!
On today’s show we find out that Craig has been studying again, and that can only mean trouble, but we do learn some interesting fact about WW I and a story that is too good about WW II. Butch on the other hand brings us the tale of a whole new war that is being waged “in the trenches” you might say and it going on right now. Which side will you fall on? And, no its not political, we’re nonprofit and can’t go there.
Note: Butch and I had a great time in Ringgold, GA talking to the Dixie Relic and Recovery Club. Thank you all for the food, friendship and good time. We had a blast!

OHP Radio - Digging at the Museum!
If you think what is in the yards and fields where you hunt are great finds, it doesn’t compare with what you can dig up at your local museum. No, we are not condoning taking a shovel or a detector and you do have to go during the day, but we are saying get off the couch and out the door. Go visit!
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,
Craig

Fakes, Collecting and Research Special Guest Ric Savage.
Butch and I are joined by Wrestling Legend and advocate of uncovering the fakes in the collecting market Ric Savage. You can visit Ric’s site Savage-Station for a more in-depth look into this area and see his column in American Digger Magazine in each issue.
Ric, talks about how he got started in uncovering the seedy side of collecting. Also, we get into what and why you should really collect anything. Butch also covers a large list of reference books that you need to have on hand.
All this poses and interesting question – How many millions of dollars are thrown out by Mom’s across America? And how many thousands of dollars did you willingly destroy as a kid?

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.

OHP Radio - Finding History Without A Detector
Some people just have all the luck, well some people and some animals. Have you ever found anything on the ground? I have had the honor of finding quite a bit of money over the years including $100 in rolled up bills (no, it was not yours). On "In the Dirt with American Digger" segment of Our History Project this week Butch and I talk today about these wonderful finds and how they just appear out of nowhere and seemingly only meant for you.
Oh, and have you ever wanted to breed a relic dog? Well, someone did.
Have a great week,
