You did a real nice job with this logging camp video. It explained a lot. I hope you continue to film more. Adam from Ohio”

To reiterate, like many others that have given compliments to your TV shows, the fear of retribution from people who may be against your productions or what we say about them is not worth the risk of identifying ourselves. Social media and the disrespect from so many are unfortunate norms in society today. Enclosed is my check for the purchase of all your Exploring History’s Treasures TV series DVDs. As I mentioned in our phone conversation, I will be showing them in every one of my history classes. Your productions will be a wonderful teaching experience for my students. Since we spoke, I have notified other history teachers about your shows as well as the library at our school. Hopefully, your DVDs will be added to their shelves. Keep up the great work. I am looking forward to seeing more of your shows. Sincerely, Jim C, PA.”

A little-known battle during the beginning of the French and Indian War in New York State played a significant role in the fur trade between the French, the Dutch, and the English at that time. In 1756, a young French Lieutenant, Gaspard Joseph Chaussegros de Lery, was stationed at Fort La Presentation, located at the confluence of St. Lawrence and Oswegatchie Rivers, and what was at that time northern New York State. It would be from that fort that Lieutenant de Lery would at the request of the King, lead an army of 362 men on a treacherous journey of 130 miles, to capture a small fort, named Fort Bull that was occupied by a tiny garrison of thirty men. Fort Bull was a small stockade-built fort that held supplies and ammunition, such as cannon balls, shells, grenades, and gunpowder to support the English in the war and their trade efforts. De Lery’s journey from La Presentation, down the western side of New York State in the winter of March of 1756 to attack Ft. Bull was a formidable task due to hunger, sickness among his men, desertions, and relentless, blustery cold. John DeCharo, (R.I.P.

PA.” “Hey, Frank, Thanks for speaking to my 9th-grade history classes. The students loved your talk and “The March to Ft. Bull” DVD. You magically captured their interest with your knowledge.

What the heck did John find towards the end in episode 5 ????? Your series was very entertaining as You really have to watch closely to appreciate its value in the knowledge the series represents & the counless hours it takes to learn & investigate the subject matter as the history just does not present itself out of thin air. It is VERY important that people know of the early settlers,who they were,the hardships of the time & who made the country what is today / The early Pioneers/settlers. This series is of interest to Young and old alike as very few take the time to do what You do and that is to document and tell the story of our past history Its a shame that more television stations do not air such fine work as You did regarding this series! This is the high season for "Reality Shows" and what better than the reality show: Exploring History's Treasures" a show that is entertaining and educational.” Happy Hunting! Dan,Buffalo,NewYork” ”Frank, I would like to watch your show. We live in Sioux Falls, SD. I have a 5 year old son who also enjoyed watching the shows. What we enjoyed the most was seeing what was dug up. I also enjoyed the hints of how to locate ghost towns and buildings. I'm hooked!” Thanks” Rick SD” “Frank, I'm new to metal detecting and have been reading and watching everything I can get my hands on. This was one of the best educational DVDs on how to research productive search areas from the past that I have come a cross. In episode two you really touched on how to use old survey maps to find untouched sites. There is nothing on my local cable channels that supplies this type of information and I would love to be able to see your further adventures and hopefully pick up some additional helpful hints. Thanks again and best luck with your series. I hope to see you in the field someday. John, NJ”

Larry B, Indiana” “Frank: Loved watching the DVD with my two boys (8 & 10). When I first put in the DVD, my kids were mad & wanted me to switch it back to the Disney channel. Once we started watching it, they were enthralled. My oldest got his first metal detector for X-mas in December, my other son turned 8 on 1/13/06, so he wanted one too! Of course, I got him one too! Since the weather in SW Ohio is not great this time of year, they have only gone out 2-3 times. They can't wait for warmer & dryer weather!!! Anyway, after getting them hooked on the DVD & them making sure we watched all 5 episodes, they were completely crushed at not finding out what you found. Just thought you would like to know. We watched the DVD over a week ago, and they keep asking me every day if I have emailed you to find out what was in that hole! FRANK, JOHN......WHAT IS IN THAT DARN HOLE I have my guesses, but realize it could be anything from a casket to the "treasure box full of gold". My boys are hoping it was the Doctor's gold. Anyway, just wanted to let you know our response to the DVD. Can't wait until you have a regular series on TV. I hope it's on a channel I can access locally, or I guess I'll be ordering a DVD subscription. I really loved the DVD. Looking forward to more EHT to come. Tracey, Zachary & Noah in Miamisburg, OH”
