A Super Metal Detecting Adventure

Please join me on this little adventire out on the river exploring and searching for historical relics. I didn't know what I might find but was very happy with how the hunt turned out. Civil War relics are found!
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my KZbin "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

Chig, you're really incredible. I mean, looking at just how rugged that landscape is, and noting how small those bullets are, it's so impressive that you're able to find them - like finding needles in a haystack made of water and sharp rocks. If it's there, he's gonna find it! LOL

Nice finds,,my 9yr old grandson wants to see you find a cannon

[@ewach51]

Find ur magnet?

[@ronwatson4287]

Hey chigg did you think it was another 🦫

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

absolutely! the drops were fine on their own but the two pistol bullets stuck together were one of "those" finds. that just shows you how much practice they had with their firearms. hope the river clears up soon. that place is pretty nice! Thanks for sharing Beau.

[@normawinton6832]

I'm loving my hoodie I purchased. Wish I could get a hat Beau!

[@kenj.8897]

Have a river on my property similar to that no war fighting here. Just indians . Michigan

[@dylanlitwinski2418]

Hey Ken, I’m a fellow Michigander! Just curious of the county your in office you don’t mind me asking? I never run into any one locally that finds artifacts it was curious of what areas of our state we can find stuff colonial as well.

[@MrScottgp]

Is there old stuff in every river? No civil war here in Maine but maybe colonial?

[@kenj.8897]

@@dylanlitwinski2418 I'm in St. Clair county . The farm land is the place to look for arrow heads in the spring . I've never found and artifacts in my stream/river .

[@dylanlitwinski2418]

Ok! Thanks Ken I appreciate the info!!

[@jamesc8259]

@@MrScottgp not every river but a lot. people used them for everything from dumping their trash, fishing, trading, traveling, etc. research is your best bet to find out how long the river has been in use

[@dougalexander7204]

Another excellent relic recovery adventure by Chigg, a man with a brass bung, old dog and a wobbly kitten. Much respect.

[@brendaprice7686]

Love watching these vlogs. Love all the Civil War bullets.

[@cg256y9]

Awesome site! I bet there's a few buckles and plates hiding around there! The river relic vids are always my favorite.

[@christopherbrewer9368]

Awesome place....glad to see you found your pick! :)

30 yrs ago, i woulda went straight up that rock face. Not now! LOL

Chigg, I am impressed with your valor and your discretion.

[@SantaFe-wi1ve]

Outstanding hunt Mr. Chiggles. Can't wait until you revisit this spot.

[@johnsalt19]

Hi beau glad you doing longer vids id watch em if they were twice as long lol

[@rpggargoyles264]

Hey Beau I think you're half dollar from 1816 is counterfeit due to the US Mint burnt down that year and no capped bust half dollars were minted that year. Oh well, nice boolits !

[@oldbamadirt2148]

Just Love It whin Some Thing Just Jump's Out . That Can Give You Skid Mark's LOL.

[@alexrogan3845]

I'm from Canada Chig must have dropped those for ya last vacation.....lol Man i sure wish people dropped coins as much as they did bullets?

[@kencoulter7978]

Chigg , do you ever sell the builets that you find? I have 2 Sharps rifles, it would be nice to have some of the ammo they fired for my collection! Thanks

[@williamheden6794]

Great video. Thanks for saving our history and especially taking me with you. From Ohio.

[@radgrand]

youd find way better stuff if you teamed up with folks and hit private properties, or just went door knockin, jus saying , luv u chig

[@mickeysrccrawl]

What about a episode up on top of the bank, where you found the first bullet on the ground/rocks? Maby a campsite up there. Greetings from Denmark

[@lorka42]

"Where did you find your civil war bullet?" In Da Watah. lol nice adventure chigg

[@richardwarnock2789]

Beau I'll do extra flush if it would help thanks extra cool video!!!; )

[@katelittlewolfwelshrosesan3630]

Yes Chig thank you for caring about and saving our history..so connected to the old and gracious cultures of the past!!

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Just remember canada doesn't make the penny any more and I believe the penny you found would be 1940 or earlier

[@susansmith6680]

The two civil war fused bullets are definitely my favorite

[@jorgedelossantos9764]

Living in WV could I legally go out and do some detecting like the chig?

[@yalcp5976]

I assume as long as it’s not private property my guy.

[@philipcallicoat5258]

I shudder when I think about getting hit with one of these.69 caliber mini balls... That would be devestating to the poor people who had the misfortune of catching one of those balls. If you're able to survive it you would certainly lose the limb...Arm,leg etc etc 🥺☠️

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

I've always loved archaeology, which is why I enjoy this channel. Mr. Chigg's enthusiasm is always contagious as well. It won't be much longer, and I'll go ahead and buy a metal detector, probably just like the one Chigg uses. Cheers!

[@aquachigger]

I wish you luck when you finally get out there!

[@valiantwarrior4517]

He really does have a way of making you want to learn more about the colonial era and recover some of those lost relics. Every piece is like filling in more of the story of those lives and events.

[@closeupchannel4365]

Chigg's hard as nails, even uses rocks for knee pads, and fought off a rabid beaver, but Canadian geese still send him scampering though. 😁

[@richardperkins6132]

S Awesome finds today chigg. This looks like an awesome place to spend the day checking for those civil war camps. Im sure there are lots of relics that are just waiting to be uncovered up on those Banks. Great video. An congrats on all your finds today. Have an awesome weekend. An we will catch you on your next adventure. 😁👍👍

[@rocklickranch2804]

I thought that he was going to get bit on his butt by a rabid goose

[@stevebostic9812]

As I’m watching from Missouri, I am envious? Well, itching to be in a location like where you are! I haven’t ever (that I know of) been in a Civil War era location. I have found an infantry button, but I found it in front of a home built in 1910 and adjacent to an War of 1812 cemetery. That is all I know. Chig, your water hunts and knowledge are incredible! Thanks for sharing!

[@jacobcarrico1]

It's definitely still a drive but come on over to Kentucky and you'll find some great civil war history

[@stevebostic9812]

@@jacobcarrico1 I appreciate that..even if I did come down, I would know where to start. I think I can find an area or two here. It is all about the commitment, I guess!

[@stevebostic9812]

Chigg, I hope you have permission to go up on the bluff of that shear rock face where you were pulling bullets from! I wanna go with you if you do!

[@tomroberts7221]

In Civil War battles, it was not uncommon for bullets to collide in mid-air. The museum in Petersburg VA has examples of such collisions.

[@TheStwat]

[@feellucky271]

I think you scared them just a tad too Beau.

Time to get back in the creeks! Hot as hell in NOVA today, cheers Chigg!

Watch out for the beaver, Chigg!

[@SteveE6126]

Hey Chig! We really appreciate your Knowledge and your enthusiasm ! Thank you.

[@chrisduitsman2918]

That's a pretty good haul there, Chigg. Lots of good bullets and a neat bottle

[@Lesiku]

I have a question: I know,that having a large coil increases the depth of detection but.... Could I increase the depth detection by increasing the voltage to my detector? Would it damage the detector? Thanks for your responses.

[@MONTY-YTNOM]

No.

[@marcdeckard7064]

I would think that it wouldn't do anything until it reached a level that would damage your voltage regulator or some other component. It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

[@finderskeepers6684]

highly advise against that. I have tried it with other electronics and it fries electronics instantly. they don't typically design systems to handle more voltage just because, the specs are bare minimum to the voltage that they want, there would be no reason to make it operate at a higher voltage.

[@marksloane5014]

Pretty little worn out river bend!

[@jimclark7233]

Hey, Chigg - just found your channel. This was fun to watch. Hey - are the civic war bullets WORTH anything?? (I'm just getting started with a decent Minelab Equinox...) THANKS! - Jim (The Mad Camper)

[@lonniechartrand]

Hey Chigg, was this video shot BEFORE or AFTER you lost your pick/magnet? I noticed you had it on this video, and was just wondering if you went back and found your pick lost on the previous video.

[@katelittlewolfwelshrosesan3630]

That was an electric iron ???! You often have iron interfering with a quest. But an electric iron manifested??? Why?what was it doing there?! Strange things happen sometimes!!

[@harrysurtees8710]

Nice video. I don't think your 1816 half dollar was dropped during the civil war, because according to my united states coin book, the mint did not make an 1816 half dollar?

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Enjoyed the video well done on the finds

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Flies are fun when You have time. Thanks for taking us along.

[@proliance]

The Civil War paid a visit to my town and damaged or destroyed every building in La Vergne, TN. Both sides met up in force 15 miles down the road in Murfreesboro where they slugged it out for a couple of days. I keep saying I need to metal detect the creek behind my house but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

[@ZeldaRosenthal]

I love the chewed bullet. Squirrels do that. Nice video. Happy place and I thank you.

[@mdtreasurehuntervalley9689]

Hey Beau, they didn't mint 1816 half dollars that year. If it is an 1816 its counterfeit, maybe an 1817?

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE

[@katelittlewolfwelshrosesan3630]

Oh my goodness.right out of Gone with the wind! A hem weight! I've read about them never seen one! Ladies of that time had so much fortitude! Heavy skirts and petticoats and tight shoes and corsets to endure...and hem weights too!!and soldiers had them sewn into jackets?

[@joeburrows6]

+Aquachigger hey BO. how come on the latest river detectors you only made 3 episodes. Was that to do with covid. Non the less. It was still great.

[@nicktasker4287]

Hmm could someone of slid down the bank pockets filled with ammo ? Ripped there jacket 🧥 and pocket getting away from a skirmish ?

[@brandonlasalle5743]

I recently found a very small what looks to be gold gilted button that said "Rich colour" on one side and a small eagle with its wings spread on the reverse. I'm not sure but I believe these buttons were very popular when Andrew Jackson was president and are commonly referred to as Jacksonian

[@TheHeesin]

Was there a battle in that area? I was wondering if troops scrabbling up the bank may have slipped and dropped bullets or been shot from the other bank and fallen? I suppose you'll never know!

[@rvarelichunters9310]

Confederates also commonly took Union ammo and shot them in their simmeraly bored, non rifled muskets. Might explain some of the shot bullets found with no rifling.

[@finderskeepers6684]

Couple hundred years ago at that exact spot...a person may have feared for their life for many reasons, soliders, natives....the Chigg fortunately only has to fear canadian geese!

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

Hold onto those Canadian pennies! We don't make them or even use them anymore. They will be worth something in 100 years :)

[@jamesholmberg9091]

Beau, my 8 years old grandson watched and his jaw dropped to the floor. He said that he "wants to have a campfire" with you. Whatever that means.

[@irenefitzkee535]

You found your pick with the magnet? Awesome if you did. I was bummed for you when you lost it.

[@aserta]

Awesome one Beau! Lots of cool finds.

[@HUNGRYDOGPRODUCTIONS]

If it was twenty pounds worth of gold I’d imagine you’d be very capable of carrying it outta there😆

[@synw3llth0rn32]

So, I saw a pick with a magnet base on the handle in the video... did you find your old one or sis you break down and make another?

[@todhollandsworth4371]

Ghigg never really done no metal detecting why I watch you no I'm just kidding I have done alittle before but when all you hit is iron makes you not want to do it.What you think about about the civil war the town or general area that my family came from the Yankee came into and got ran out all because of the salt from what I read

[@20greeneyes20]

Did you ever find your magnet? I didn't watch the video yet so I'm not sure if you did. I work too soon maybe.

[@Jiggy_Bones]

I have to wonder was some ol' guy hiding right here with them evil union Boys shooting at him as he works his way down the crick... I wish I knew ever single thing you found's story

[@davidsharpe426]

You seem to be a little more serious today like you may be upset or worrying about something. Could it be your land problem with the county?

At about 16.00, you were complaining about something in the air making you cough/sneeze. You were under a Sycamore tree... The mealy powder on the back of the leaves makes me cough and sneeze something fierce. I'd bet that's what was getting to you, too. Fun hunt though. Looking forward to your next vid!
