1700's Era House : Metal Detecting Yields Forgotten Finds And Stinky Mushrooms

We will be metal detecting and exploring the yard of an old 1700s-era home. On this adventure, we will find Civil War relics, coins, buttons, and other artifacts. We also discovered some stinky types of mushrooms covered in slime and ants. I try to gather some puffballs for a hearty evening meal, but they, too, are riddled with critters.

I've never seen the stinkhorns before and surprised how much they look like the morels we hunt in MN (and elsewhere). Thanks for the explanation of tombac.

Thanks for my Friday night entertainment. Time to refill my beverage to watch the picture show.

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

I gave you a 👍, just for saying picture show. Haven't heard that in years! 👍👍👍👍

[@dennismorris3254]

Great hunt injoyed watching

[@AdamosDad]

Years back I two solid puffballs, while coolhunting that would not both fit in a water pail. They made nice big mushroom steaks.

[@rachaelleann9847]

that's some good finds, I found a cool rock today walking up a trail fossil or somethin inside it but your finds way better lol

[@MapleHillMunitions]

That lid at 12 minute mark looks like a stove primer cap.

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

Chigg, you had me at stinky mushrooms😝🤣 JK, but that title is hilarious!

[@larrykoroush6995]

I started wearing headphones with just one earpiece so I could hear what was going on around me. They are called rattlers. I'm guessing so you can hear snakes.

[@AlbertD711]

Chigg, you are correct. The Indian Cent is officially head of Liberty with Native American bonnet.

[@valerieloeffler6174]

Love the variety of finds!

[@4000ChacoRoad]

Most of those .22 casings were part of long rifle rounds as you suggest, Beau, but "back in the day" there were lesser used .22 rounds that were "longs" with that length of casing but a shorter bullet similar to .22 short rounds. The .22 long bullets had a lower ballistic coefficient/weight than the .22 long rifle bullets, so the shorter "long" bullets were more prone to deviation from wind and other factors. The only advantage of the "long" rounds may have been that they have been slightly less expensive in the early 1900s.

[@beester1432]

Thank you for explaining what tom back means. I had no idea it was a type of metal.

[@deehooper1025]

Much prefer this type of vid with just detecting then finding & showing still pic of find along with vid.

Chigg hey

[@justdustino1371]

Pedersoli makes a replica of the cut down Baker shotguns favored by Confederate cavalry! You know, the Colgate heir was vacationing in Paris in 1895 when he saw French artists using metal squeeze tubes of paint. Colgate toothpaste went into limited production in the 1890s, then mass production in 1908. ❤

Another great hunt Chig!

The fungi is Phallus Impudicus, Devil's Stinkhorn. Puffballs are delicious.

You had me at stinky mushrooms LOL !!!!!! Had to watch. Hey Capt. Chigg Sir, have you ever seen Foxfire? Glows in the dark? You're a good man Chigg. Sonoran greetings to you and the rest of Chiggs Army.

Seriously considering getting the Vortex for my next machine. I have been an AT PRO guy thus far. Seems from your recent hunts that Vortex is more powerful. In general how do you like the new machine? (pretend like Garrett ain’t listening) ;) you’re the man!

[@Mr.Technical77]

Watching him as long as I have, I believe if he didn’t like the Vortex he’d have put it down already. He always has, so it says a lot that he’s still using the Vortex after several hunts.

[@Shackleton71]

@@Mr.Technical77 good point! I looked high & low over the internet and there isn’t an answer as to when it comes out for delivery
