Tell Us A Story
In this episode the Publisher of American Digger Magazine and Author of several books tells us what we should know about submissions, content and the do’s and don’ts of the writing industry. In essence this is not only what he looks for but every print publication looks for. This is one of those shows that is for any and everyone so pass it around.
It also brings up again the question: Should you write? I’m at fault here as well. I spend a lot of time researching but not a lot of time writing, but think about this – What are you finding in the field? Who was there? Why are you looking for this stuff in the first place? And the questions go on and on. Let us preserve this history with a little story.

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

Archeologist and Metal Detectorist Working Together?
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.

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,
Craig

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 - 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/
