Could be, Christopher! Thanks for watching!

Wow....sounds logical & very interesting

Prince Madoc?

Everyone like so he can see

Could it have been a fort?

the screamwas that big fella!

Glad to hear you've been enjoying them, thanks for watching!

Thank you, Abby girl, for steering away from swearing and cursing. I can't abide it either.

Thanks for coming along, Tammy!

That's a good thing about Internet.... as one can, kind of, do it vicariously through other's. I'm just too old & knackered now, but as a young woman I use to go mud larking on rivers & panning for gold in Sofala, Australia. Much fun & fascination

Local historical society knows where and what these are, Vt has a lot of old foundation and Wells root cellars. The people who built were part of tge community, sheep families or commodity sales. Mysterious to these guy S Woodstock has a site some call moons arc because they seem to think it is some druid ruins It belonged to a man named moon Weird People wrote mysterious books about theory of where it came from I guess they forget to research Windsor county and town history

Very interesting history, thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you for teaching me something interesting today.

Seems like a pretty normal old New England settlement to me. While I enjoyed the history. Having grown up in New England the woods here are absolutely full of these old settlements. Most of them abandoned around World War Two when less productive farmland was abandoned

Extremely interesting piece of family history! Thank you so much for sharing. I would love to learn more about early history like this!

There are other stone structures that are much older than usual New England and Penn Dutch settler ones. Check Jim Vieira's slide show on YT for more about them. It's pretty interesting stuff. And then of course there's always Mystery Hill or America's Stonehenge

Thanks so much for the wonderful info, I’m fairly certain you’re correct with most everything you detailed!

Great info, my friend. Thank you

Too wide a cut for narrow guage

Thanks for the info!

Green Mountain Metal Detecting The wood in the bottom of the cut ravine looks like RRD ties.

I lived in and around Cumming, GA for 10 years! Lake Lanier is a cool but CRAZY lake

I've wondered the same thing 😁

You nailed it.

My thoughts exactly. My guess is Norse or Celt.

Thanks so much for the kind words Kenn, glad to hear your enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching, Kim!

Kim Jameson this may have been a Neolithic site. At least partially ....that did look like a barn or house foundation. Instead of me trying to explain watch a video on UKposts titled secrets of stones urine Prime country for this sort of thing

Kim, I dry stack stone flower beds and low walls for fun and wouldn't mind being paid to do it too. It's a peaceful occupation and a healthy one as well. It's also the kind of activity that one can't rush without experiencing some kind of structural failure and that's especially true for walls of this size. Last year, I went back to see how well a series of stone flower beds, along with the somewhat taller back wall that connects them, had held up after nearly 5 years with no maintenance...and I was completely amazed and thrilled to find it was still as solid and stable as it was the day I finished it.

I was thinking the same thing 🔫. Lions & tigers & bears, oh my ☠️✌🏻 🍺 🇺🇸

They both were

both were packing and that was smart

NEXT TIME..BOTH PACKIN AN FLASHLITES N LUNCH....

Not from VT, are you

Thanks Sue!

Sue I think it would be worth while to photograph the entire encampment/fort/store etc. and then do some deep research into the reason it was constructed. No doubt it took quite awhile to move all the stone etc. :) Don

Hey neighbor! Thanks for watching!

Same here, Tony! Hope you feel better!

Green Mountain Metal Detecting 11:35 those rock stacks look like floor support and the front area probably had stairs with a door.

Thanks for coming along, Ron!

Thanks so much for the kind words, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Please read again my friend. i spent 17,59 MINUTES watching this video and it was well spent := Thanks

WW2 History Hunter you rock have watched all of your amazing work!!!!!

@@jewleeborrasca6924 The rules about punctuation in numbers vary depending on the countries and languages. In some countries, a comma is used instead of a colon in durations (e.g. Seven minutes and 29 seconds would be written as ”7,29” rather than the way Americans do "7:29”).

I love the WW2HistoryHunter..AWESOME of you to comment on GMMD!!

Thanks for all the great info Karen!

the Ulster Irish are known for this type of wall building. They were built throughout Appalachia, as well.

Thanks so much, Ian!

Thanks a lot, you and me both!

I'm surprised the forestry department wouldn't want metal junk found and removed.

seems like a really silly law

Oldies&Goodies: History? If you knew its real age all the historical paradigms would fall.

Jay Warren Clark

thats what i think they got here.....

Mike fishead It could also be a Fisher Cat, we have them in Central New York and they sound just like that

I'm so glad we only have spiders and snakes to watch out for here in South Eastern Australia (yes I know the red belly black snake or red back spider are both deadly) . I don't like the idea of a bobcat or mountain lion hunting anywhere near me.

Miss Heird glad he is armed: NY DEC is releasing packs of wolves into our woods now, not to mention mountain lion & 2 legged presators.

I think the road rails look exactly like the ones used in Manitoba, Canada - in the Interlake area between Lake Manitoba & Lake Winnipeg - I was a boy in the 1960's and my parents bought a farm in a tiny, remote farming community known as Dallas, Manitoba or as the locals call it, "Red Rose (and/or) Sunny Valley". Back in the 1960's the roadways were fine to drive on during dry weather, however, when it rained they became treacherous mud ways where your vehicle could bog down 1 to 2 feet - the locals remedied this by placing tamarack railings sideways just like in this video - it gave traction and also prevented sinking into the muck,,, as long as you kept moving that is. Hell, I remember me and my family all hopping on a flatbed trailer hitched to a tractor to get us in and out during spring time rains - the tracks we left were 1 to 2 feet deep - the rail system greatly improved our ability to get in and out driving a truck during our first few years there... eventually the province built the infrastructure up but before that time, we were on our own in that small community of about 10 to 15 homesteading families... in the 1960's most of us were 2nd generation whom either bought or were related to the original pioneers of those outback farmlands. The man who pioneered my parents farm was Mr. & Mrs. Delay - some of the structures he built are still standing, including some of the thatched roofs on the animal shelters. Mr. Delay was also in the knowledge of building with stone - the house was on stone stacks like those in this video but his tool shed (where he actually made all of his own tools as well!) looked more like a stone mason's work with squared corners, cut stones for flat surfaces and some kind of mortar that he made from the earth - it's still there and you can see straw and small stones were mixed in. His buildings would have been in the 1920's to the 1940's - then in the 60's he retired & sold to my parents. Funny thing - my father build a machinery shed with a concrete foundation in the 80's and while some of the corners are showing some minor deterioration today, Mr. Delay's mortar is still holding strong! Ha! I have to say thank you for the film makers and all of the poster's comments too - what a thrill to read through such a varied & wonderful thread of comments - great history being shared - one of the best comment threads I've come across on YT! Thanks to all from Canada..... eh!

Nice story Sir...@@rainom11

@@rainom11 Very informative post - thanks!

Thanks so much!

Good for you Leslie. My honey put it the best. The stone says "I was here once."

Thanks so much, Eva!

Thanks a lot Jim, Happy new year to you as well!!

Right. I think you have to at least start there. There are not many cultures of a suitable time that build like that.

Thanks for watching!

Glock 23 and a Para Ordnance 1911 in 45ACP, good eye!

Great choice on the glock 23 I like the mid size ones the best. I am amazed by your finds. I reenact the French and indian war and the rev war here in NC. you find some great items from those time frames.

Thanks a lot!!

I was VERY glad to see you were both packin

Green Mountain Metal Detecting Hello, I watched your wonderful video today and found it by accident. I understand you are a metal detector- however what you have come across always is in the most high up reaches of the mountains. I watch 2 other channels that have found these exact types of wall & building remnants. Look up ColoradoForestBeings His name is Cali you will not believe what he has found! Also -In the Forest with Jeff He has found the same things also. I believe the walls are connected across the lands. So Cali is on top 3rd Plateau Jeff on Top plateau as well. -Also there is more to the story-- Both of them are tracking BigFoot/Sasquatch- I noticed you are heavily in Sasquatch area territory. That is why you felt spooked. Did you feel as though you were being watched? Continue being respectful of the forest and Sasquatch should protect you - that is how it seems to be. If you have never been a Sasquatch believer before, 🦍 You will become one hanging out in the deep terrain you are in. If you see trees made into X’s or trees bent into a curve- that is BF area. They move so quickly-faster than a blink of an eye! It has been discovered that they can hide up in trees to view you and hide well from our eyesight too! They are shy and they keep a far distance. Please learn all you can about them so hopefully you don’t ever need to shoot one but let it run away. It is close to being a human. I hope you will look up Colorado Forest Beings. I believe you would enjoy his information. Glad to see you armed. I will subscribe. Be safe.

lol you've got lint in your pocket that's older than anything in my country.

KEEP CALM and PLAY SOCCER IN YOUR PAJAMAS . Haha . I like history stuff whatever the age . Yeah we have a couple of old things in Scotland . :)

I would love to talk to you about these rail lies? Did you know the first secretary of state for the Confederacy was on the board for these rail lines. They were also built in segments, the way H.H. Holmes built his murder castle. The same secretary of state was a lead proponent of succession, and a mentor who advised the later secretary of state to load the Confederacy's money onto a train right before it disappeared forever. All that being said, would love to come across a map of these ole lines, and also curious about the reason for the law suits?

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Mark!

That thought came to mind, or perhaps a gunpowder or maple syrup factory. You should be able to search old tax records to see what was there. whatever it was that is cool.

back in the day everywhere was in the middle of nowhere .

Shawn32671 there’s lots of old gold and copper mines in that area. It’s most likely an old stamp mill for processing ore

It wasn’t the middle of nowhere at one time

Wow, really Einstein?

I agree. They should contact the University of Vermont's archaeology people and give them the GPS coordinates so they can get out there and explore the ruins. I doubt it's Civil War related as Vermont was not involved in the fighting. If there were railroad cuts up there, then there were loggers. But, that complex looks more like a fort or small community. It covers quite a large area and is organized and well constructed.

Thanks a lot for all the info, Noah!

Haha glad to hear it, Bob! Once we're in May I'll be posting every Friday!

Thanks a lot, Scott!

Here is one of those structures. "America's Stonehenge" in New Hampshire. I visited it many years ago. Definitely weird and cool. Here is the link: www.stonehengeusa.com/

Thanks Mr. Donkey!

Actually people of the day were just living life in a time with almost no communication and little formal education. They worked long and hard just to subsist. History as we know it today was not a concern to them. Food and fuel for winter was. Where they lived, birth, death, marriage were seldom recorded because they were only of note to the immediate community. So yes. Most places there is no history from that period.

Great to meet you! While I don’t have much background on this particular site, I typically leave out very specific details to protect the site’s location, hopefully that makes sense!

Thank you so much for your response. It means a lot. Yes, Brad. I firmly agree about your choice to protect a location but, you still can provide an anonymous bit of history behind the few locations that will enlighten those if us that want so much to understand what we're seeing. Thanks again Lanny Martin

Thanks Lanny, I’ll do my best!!

No. Let me thank you. Its you doing all the work. Then comes all the editing and work that you do to make this all possible for us, your viewers, to enjoy. On another note, if his widow will allow me, i would love to show you a few pics of things my old cohort, a close friend, fellow graduate, (UT, Austin 1972), found while metal detecting (garrett circa 1970 ) on my family land near present day Nacogdoches, Tx. BTW, please tell Eddy that its always great to see any young man getting a foothold on the future. Wish him the best in law enforcement. We need these guys. Stay honest and pure. My 4th Grt. Gr. Father was one of the first Texas Rangers. Take care and Godspeed.

L Mar...My husband's mother's family are Martin's and have been in East Texas since 1846. I think they came from TN or KY.
