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.

This week Our History Project pays tribute to all of the fallen Patriots, Soldiers and Private Citizens of our great country who gave their life for our country and for us. Join us this week as we remember our history through a collection of short stories that covers our history from the Revolutionary War to the Current Middle Eastern Conflict.
There are 2, one (1) hour segments that make up this week’s show, but don’t worry about the length of this one. It is fast paced and crammed full of interesting tales which I guarantee you most have never heard.
This first segment (hour 1) covers the Revolutionary War to World War II.
The second segment (hour 2) covers Korea to the current War on Terror and also includes the American Digger segment of our show.
Each story is from 3 to 10 minutes long and covers a War Story and a Home Front Story from each, so it will be easy to come back to time and time again.
Can’t sit at a computer that long to listen? Burn a disk and take us on a drive to work, school or vacation. We have made the shows so that they can be downloaded and burned, in most cases to 1 CD. Better yet put it on an I-Pod or MP3 player and take us on a jog or out in the yard to cut grass.
In simple terms, Yes! We travel !!!!
Have a great Week,
Craig

Folks, We need a “Name” for the segment of the show with American Digger Magazine. The contest will be (drum roll):
Think of a Name and email it to : craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com
Butch said it had to be original and better than his and something that we can be proud of which leaves out titles such as, “Rolling in the Mud with American Digger”, “Talking Dirty with The Editor.”
The winner, that is if we use your idea will get a free 1 year subscription to American Digger Magazine.
So send them in, we need it.
- Craig

First don’t forget to go to our Forum http://ourhistoryproject.lefora.com/forum/ sign up and show us what you have found, tell us what your researching or just reading.
Now!
Spring is here! The flowers the showers, the grass, everything is waking up and starting to green. Songs such as “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo” and “Put me in Coach” bring about an almost festive time or feeling in us of an age to remember. With these memories of Spring that comes flooding back during this time of year comes the “Excitement” that the diamond is open and the bases are lined.
Its Baseball again, Folks!
What better way to start the season than remembering a little of the past. Our guest this week is Tim Darnell. Tim is the author of “The Crackers, Early Days of Atlanta Baseball.” Tim not only tells us stories of the second most winning-est team in all of professional sports, but gives us an insight to the early days of the game including Professional, Minor League and Negro League Ball.
A link to Amazon and Tim Darnell’s book “The Crackers, Early Days of Atlanta Baseball” can be found here.
This is a show you do not want to miss!
Relics, Detecting, Preserving and Enjoying History
We were also treated to an appearance by Butch Holcombe of “American Digger Magazine”. Not only did American Digger become a Sponsor for the show, supporting our vision of preserving the past but Butch has agreed to join us again for a weekly spot to highlight stories of History and those that relate to Metal Detecting and Relic Hunting, what is being found around the country and how you can catch the bug.
The great thing about Butch and American Digger Magazine is that they are true friends to our history’s past and are very much proponents of Preservation and Education. Their main site can be found at http://www.americandigger.com/ and for being a sponsor they also have a logo placement on each of our pages at http://www.ourhistoryproject.com so you can find them anytime. Their Our History Project can be found at http://ourhistoryproject.com/AmericanDiggerMagazine.html.
We can be found on all podcasting sites including, i-tunes, zune and twitter.
