Hi, I'm Rob Vogt with Vogt Auction Galleries. We are at one of the best

picking sites in all of Texas. This place has been locked up for decades. We've

been trying to get into it for years. Today, the family gave us the keys. Let's

go see what we find. the Dietz family came from Germany to

this part of Texas in the mid 19th century. They were one of the more

prominent families here. Instrumental in setting up the towns of Schertz and

Cibolo. And many local landmarks are named after them this is the Dietz's

family compound. Whoa, this is amazing. Oh, here's a light. Wow, look at all these

tools. This is incredible, there's like 20 of every single type of thing. Fishing

reels, fishing tackle all these rods -Oh it continues. Wow! Look at this. Hold on heres

some lights. This is incredible

This is amazing. Well, so far a good start. Wonder what's

in the other buildings. Let's go find out.

Wow look at all this stuff, got gas cans and old vacuum cleaners. Boy I don't

know. Let's see what's actually in here.

Wow, look at this. Wow, We've got tractor seats here it had come along and oh

really cool old stoves, grinding wheel, bed pans. Wow- gotta watch where you walk in

here. Milk crates- Oh, lots of great crockery look at this. This is amazing.

All this pottery and then these washboards. Well that's about three sheds

out of about ten or twelve here on the property. So we have a lot of work to do

but do stay tuned. We're gonna find some really cool stuff and you'll be

able to come out here at an epic estate sale in December. So watch our

website for more information.

Restoring Beach Dunes, McFaddin Beach - Texas Parks & Wildlife [Official] - Duration: 2:56.

[splashing sand]

- KELLY: This looks really good!

- That's pretty awesome! - Mmmm.

- NARRATOR: What's pretty awesome is this sand.

This beach at McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge is getting

some much needed sand and a makeover.

While most beaches have natural sand dunes along the shoreline

which protect these fragile marshes,

McFaddin's beach is a flat landscape with no sand dunes

in sight.

- DOUG: The lack of a sand dune has allowed salt water to

move up inside the marsh here, and what we have now with

no dune, the water is stacked up and now it's finding a way

back out and eroding the bank here even more.

[bird calls]

McFaddin refuge is a 60,000-acre national wildlife refuge,

not only do we provide great hunting habitat,

but we also provide sanctuary's for migratory birds that are

moving south for the winter or coming back across the

Gulf of Mexico in the springtime.

- NARRATOR: In the 2000s, hurricanes Rita and Ike

crushed the upper Texas coast...

and wiped McFaddin's sand dunes off the map.

- The hurricanes came through decimated that ridge system.

- NARRATOR: Now for miles and miles along this coastline,

the fragile marsh habitat is unprotected.

- KELLY: So we have freshwater wetlands right on top of beach.

So now any time we have any kind of tidal surges they go right,

and create wash over events into the marshes.

- NARRATOR: McFaddin's neighbor has more fragile marsh habitat-

The J.D. Murphree Wildlife Management Area.

- We've reached the point of it's gotta be done now

or we are going to lose it when the next big storm comes.

- We're cutting into sediment offshore,

pumping it all the way to the beach.

[bulldozer rumbles]

- NARRATOR: Funding was raised to build three miles

of sand dunes, and now some of the refuge marsh has a barrier.

- KELLY: So now that we've actually created this three-mile

stretch, the wetlands are going to have a buffer, protection.

- DOUG: I'm absolutely ecstatic about what we have here,

this beach ridge looks phenomenal,

we've got all kind of benefits for the marsh behind us here,

looks great.

- NARRATOR: Now it's a matter of coming up with the funds

to protect the rest of the marsh habitat here along the

Upper Texas coast.

- MIKE: It is a positive start, but it's just that,

it's a start, this project has to have the entire beach

re-nourished with sand, it's got to be completed.

[birds squawk]

- NARRATOR: This project was funded in part by a grant

from the Wildlife Restoration Program.
