Tell Us A Story

This week the show is not only for the history lover, metal detectorist or collectors but also for those aspiring to get into print. That’s right- Do you write? Do you want to? Or better yet - should you?

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" - Predictions

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 - Let's Be Reasonable

This week Butch and I tackle an article which appeared in the Providence Journal “Dig uncovers significant historical site in Narragansett” by Randal Edger that was published on 10-18-09. We take a look at this case between Churchill and Banks and the State of Rhode Island. Listen, give some feedback - and you be the Judge.

Both OHP and American Digger would love to have some comments on this show. It is a subject that affects us all, in one way or another.

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.

Archeologist and Metal Detectorist Working Together?

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?

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

This is the letter sent out for the Offical Announcement. We will have more contests later on this year. As I said we may have had some suprises in store.......we did.

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

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.

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,

Craig

You may be swinging a coil, hiking, camping, boating or what ever you do outdoors and rest assured if you do it often enough you will have a chance encounter with one of the rascals we mention here.

Don't miss this Saturdays show - we have Peter Limburg on and we will be discussing the fate of the Donner Party. Adventure in the High Serria's - from top of the world to the lowest parts of the underworld, decisions you only hope you'll never be faced with.

Join us today as Butch and I touch on the Legends and Forefathers of the Collecting and Digging World. We highlight three of the greatest and most renowned Historians and Artifact Collectors that started the hobby of not only referencing, documenting and preserving relics, they were the first folks in the field out there actively digging, buying and collecting. Stop by and give it a listen and we’ll show you you can have fun and be serious almost in the same breath.

Saturday on Our History Project we will have Author Donald Jermann to discuss his book “Antietam The Lost Order”. We will be talking about Order 191 and the impact it did have and the impact it could have had. Talk about mysteries and conspiracy theories – this event in history left enough for both.

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/
