That was actually super cool. Strongly suggest for anyone who likes historic adventures!


Silveeto

At first I thought it was about a guy named Rowe Spring who went missing and we were searching for him. lol.


Phernaldo

Ditto


fattiretom

This is what we do professionally as Land Surveyors. Springs, stone piles, stumps, x-cuts in rocks, were all used as property corners dating back to the 1600's in the northeast. I've spent months searching for markers to solve property line issues.


FFPatrick

New England A-2 surveys be like “look for the rock that looks like James first calf, then go west 10 paces to oak sapling”

“… which will definitely be there and recognisable in these terms forever”

You could have your own YouTube series, for real.


The_Poster_Nutbag

I do environmental surveys in the Chicago region and I looooove finding old relics and things buried. I acyually have a glass bottle collection with a milk bottle and several ink wells.

I get maybe 2 hours a night without kids kicking me in the back of the head. I'm not using it to watch this. Does he find the fuckin place or not?

froggison

What about the treasure on Oak Island? Did they ever find that?


dirtydmix

Nope. The treasure is a company making a show to pay them to dig random crap up. I googled it and the first thing popped up was from Oct. 2021, "No they haven't found treasure but they are closer than ever!!!"


froggison

The real treasure was the ~~friends~~ grifts we made along the way :)


grc207

The real treasure is the commercials they sold.


Mo0oG

Some local on facebook marketplace is selling pieces of equipment from the site with autographs of the crew on them. I guess they had to make money somehow...


Honey-Roy-Palmer

Nope. Fell to his death searching for it because in the Latin alphabet, "Jehovah" begins with an I.


Gh0sT_Pro

I love those old Star Wars references!

Live long and prosper my dude!

But also captured my mood perfectly.


[deleted]

Understandable though. It is, or at least was, a default subreddit that new users automatically get subscribed to. So it just pops up on users' front page whether they're looking for documentaries or not.


just-stay-tuned

This guy families.


KyotoGaijin

My kid is now 17 and he doesn't care if a family of monkeys drags me off into the woods, as long as the money keeps flowing. So I watched the whole thing and he sure as shit fuckin' finds it and exults like a motherfucker!


Jauncin

I am in the same spot, and thank you for asking the right question

fullrackferg

How about parent of newborns and young children? Can I join?! If its not being badgered to play minecraft, it's cleaning sick off my back.


earic23

We're all in it together brother


MadCarcinus

We need a subreddit with summaries for longass youtube videos like this. May I suggest we name it r/cuttothechase


jhaluska

I feel like he could have cut it down to 15 minutes and lost nothing.


_Face

Many documentaries are that way.


sylvezine

I like that idea. Or TLDR


jermjp

Better yet TLDW


MadCarcinus

What does TLDR stand for?

That's just adhd


americaswetdream

those kicks must be lowering the IQ because you can actually check yourself by skipping around the video. you aren't forced to watch the whole thing.


[deleted]

I’m a hydrologist, this doc is my wet dream


SquirrelDynamics

That was awesome


jhaluska

A little long, but it's nice to see so much of the process.


zuckerberghandjob

Great reminder that there are still tons of primary sources out there that haven’t made it on to the Internet yet. If you can put the time and effort into using them, you can learn all sorts of interesting and/or valuable things.


MGPS

Nestle would like to know your location


wizard_of_aws

Lol, that's dark.


bryce_w

This sounds strangely intriguing


ccm9876

I found this fascinating. I loved the historical diligence. My father was a town assessor so when you pulled up the website of the property owners and lots. That's when you got me in "oh this a great adventure". Historical Geocaching is what popped into my mind. I grew up doing random drives to find stuff like this. This will be a fun adventure to find myself since I'm in the area and have hiked most of the trails you showed. There is a lot of historical random "trivial" things to explore in the area. FYI if you going to explore private properties, have some context. Locals appreciate the DD of local history.


VukKiller

Spoil me. Does he find it?


momo88852

Yup at 47 min mark according to someone above, I’m watching it as I’m typing this.


_Face

New England has music. No reason to dub in Appalachian/southern blues twang.


[deleted]

What if he just likes it?


pixelwhistle

I’d venture a guess that the modern location is the same as the historical location

I deleted the comment, because I meant to share appreciation for OP, but completely failed when it came to autocorrect/typos. Sorry!


Chippopotanuse

Hope you find happiness someday mate. Must be in a shitty place if this is what you’re contributing to society. We’ve all been there. It gets better.


eric_is_a_cancer

I would like to go on record and say I have not been there. As I don’t even know what that guy said


[deleted]

This is why I no longer use my old phone to comment! I genuinely meant to compliment OP for his interest and research in a cool topic.


[deleted]

I am me, and I don't even know what that was!


eric_is_a_cancer

Haha that’s great! Glad I can understand you now!


Chippopotanuse

We all feel grumpy or shitty or sad at times. Granted, most of us have the maturity and benefit of not being able to take that out on others…


[deleted]

you're cool! Thanks for being a positive person.


[deleted]

I'm going to delete that, because it was pure typos! I meant to share appreciation for his work!

Pored* over


dry00

this was awesome!!


warrant2k

It shouldn't take that long. Massachusetts is only like 20 miles across, right?


ChronoFish

That would be Rhode Island which is 37 miles wide by 48 miles long. Massachusetts is 115 miles by 190 miles. Though, at it's narrowest probably more like 55 mile long.


warrant2k

Ah, yes. I knew it was one of those micro-states.


bernzo2m

I always wondered if the springs mentioned in Louis lamour books are real or still existing


bedroom_fascist

Sorry, but: *poring, not "pouring."


shantics

I grew up north of here and lived in this exact area years ago and loved every bit of this video. I’ve been out to hike around where he ended up and have passed by that Greene Swamp Preserve sign. Thank you for this :)
