Civil War Railroad Search

[@aquachigger]

Out and about searching an old railroad river crossing. Fun little adventure for me anyway. Tons of videos coming up, I'm finding it hard to stay inside and edit videos this time of year.

Love ya CHIGG 💟💟💟

[@jeanp.1303]

Totally understand that Chig… wish I could say the same. Terribly hot,humid and buggy here.

[@captnse]

Chigg, what happened to the video you said you were going to show us where you found 2 silver half dollars, along with a bunch of other cool artifacts? You’re probably still editing it, based on your above comments about it being hard to stay in the house right now! 🙏👍🏼

[@brianhammond81]

Are you going back to the spot to water hunt from this past early spring video where you was finding all the arrowheads at

[@jackschwartz1783]

Do you have any shirts, hats or cups w crossed metal detector n shovel that reads, 'Can You Dig It?' :-))

[@bearschmidt3180]

I'm addicted to these videos!!

[@ogamhunter]

Aquachigger I found a buckle like the one you found, searched it for years. After around 25 years a man told me, it is a British shoe buckle, he had one just like it! Nothing like your videos, on a rainy day! God Bless, (Glen). WV.

[@coreyn]

I absolutely love this channels theme song! Definitely look forward to new video notifications. Great job. This is so much fun my friend. Thanks!

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Giv em what for Chigg. Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE

[@Treasure-Charger]

Awesome hunt and very timely. I'm heading to a river site tomorrow to detect under a railroad trestle from the Civil War era. Now I am pumped to go, hunt, and put out a video!

[@handyman75657]

The large flange type nut that you were looking at is a kitchen sink drain retainer nut that goes to a sink. The strange flange thing just after that is an intake and exhaust bridge retainer that goes on a earlier 6 cylinder motor. It is used as a washer/bridge with a nut. Usually a 3/8 hole used with a stud instead of a bolt.

[@aRustyPatina]

Ford 50-60’s y block V8 also had them on the intake. Think T-Bird 312

[@jamessmith-np7yf]

Ahh u beat me 2 it lol.

[@itsclearasmud7718]

I disagree. Its a crock spigot not an exhaust part. First finger and index on either side of te upper tube; press the button with your thumb and liquid drains out of the lower tube. Nuts and gasketed through a hole in the side of a water crock.

[@paulholden4038]

How do U hold your breath for so long when filming under water?

[@paulholden4038]

?

[@jads_so_enigmatic7941]

This is actually the most interesting content around because with any other video i would just skip half way and go on to the next video lmao i havent done that here and its just so entertaining watching you find cool things Dude your awsome!😌✨💖

[@whitegregory4021]

I agree

[@RelicDog]

Amazing how one’s eyes can be fooled! At 8:48 I just knew that was an old box or crescent wrench 🔧 in the rocks, but watching frame by frame I see it’s just rocks - crazy! Fun video, thanks for taking us along. Always look forward to these. Best wishes, Chris

[@marygarner5249]

Love you MR CHigg always make my day 😁😁😁💟

[@headrot2443]

Wow just finished watching last video and already another thanks man,, we're waving at ya chigg

[@rawfoodwriter]

Duuuude!!! That carbine sling buckle is pretty cool.

[@camoplumber]

Hey Chigg, that second item you dug up is a stopper for a tub. It an American Standard stopper for a waste and overflow from early 50s. Never thought I would see one along a creek...lol

[@historylooker7]

Love creek walking 🚶‍♂️

[@deeanderson4440]

Oh my goodness! One of your videos popped up on my recommended list and got my attention so I watched it. Now I can't get enough of your adventures. I love exploring with you. Hands down THEE BEST I have seen yet. Thank you so much for sharing them with us 😁. Oh, and I am now a subscriber 😅😊

[@rockyperez2828]

Hey Chigg at 7:43 I recognize that artifact that u pulled out my grandfather had a couple old milk cans that he converted in 1921 to water cans when he worked in the oilfields and that is the water spigot. That is a very cool find

[@andylarner3531]

A nice adventure chigg

[@melissaslate1621]

That one small price looks like a rocker for a valve on a vehicle engine . Love your videos!! Thank you

[@gabbyhaze5857]

It's not a rocker. It's a manifold clamp from a four or six cylinder inline engine.

I don't blame you. I would have left, too. OI enjoy your videos. Thank you for them. Stay safe. God bless.

Fancy lads buckles and Wicky- Wocky end bits! This installment has it all!

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Will chigger enjoyed this video glad to see you again on the water 👍

[@donaldcourter5355]

the doo dad thing at the 13:00 mark is a piece off of a 6 cly engine. it helps hold the exhaust manifold to the block.

[@gregwicks51]

That brass item is a drain stopper for and old tub.

[@rastaralph7154]

I was really wanting to hear you say hold your breath but it didn't happen 🤣❤️💛💚👍

[@scottjunge5992]

Thanks once again Chigg 👍

[@ehayes5217]

That was really fun (& interesting) to watch; great job!🤓🇺🇸

A fancy lad you say, haha! Cool man! :-)

[@diggun]

What a wonderful location to hunt! Thanks for sharing :). -Ro

[@FireFighterDetecting]

Love the videos you make. Somehow I always want to be out there with you as there is lots of history to be found there.

[@scottnyc6572]

That brass valve looked like the hilt of a sword at first.That camera is as clear as day underwater.Congrats on the finds!!Thanks again

[@Mountainmonths]

some really interesting rocks, all smoothed and different colors

[@bmdubclub9933]

Never stop doing what you do Aquachigger

[@nhmtrhd]

My first time watching your channel. Not first time watching historical metal detecting in water. First time watching clear underwater video. And nice for the water current clearing out areas your digging in. No accident I’m sure. Nice content, from a new subscriber. Thanks👍

[@EZDiggin]

A couple of nice finds on this adventure Chigg!!! Happy hunting and be well

[@billyazprospector]

Ha! Imagine running into those two “yellers” out in the middle of your Nevada expedition. Keep it safe!

[@davestelling]

Love watching "The Chigg" here at 3 o'clock in the morning...

[@mrobich321]

at around 7:40 it looks like a water tap dispenser (button push to get water) from a container???

[@janjohannessmith7033]

Excellent

[@kellymann2706]

Nice equipment... thanks for sharing

[@aquachigger]

Thanks for watching

[@rodwoods2108]

Chigg, that looked like a sink drain plug. LOL!

[@shaunacall4685]

That log dam-thingy was crazy!

[@battlewagonmclaren8004]

Just another awesome video !! Thank you for bringing us along. Almost looks like your around Northern Virginia around North Anna ?? The vis on the creek very clear after all the rain.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Nice hunt Chigg. I love the little brass push button water spout. I remember those on glass and metal water canisters. There was usually a paper cup dispenser with flat cone-shaped cups.

[@bertyadon6567]

Enjoy watching you a lot

[@richardwarnock2789]

Oboy a Genuine AQUAGHIGGER ADVENTURE!!!; )

[@DigginWithDeej]

Cool finds for sure Beau

[@muddc197]

13:00 looks to be the piece that is bolted into the side of an old Chevy straight 6 engine to tighten down the exhaust and intake manifolds.

[@lupo19fun]

I love your video. It's like an adventure.

[@dougalexander7204]

Little squeezers and little doo-dads. It had the potential. Sorry about the debris, and the two legged kind. Regardless, nice adventure and we appreciate it. Woodrow, from the trailer next door says hi.

[@Seahorse1414]

Love the hunt !

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Checking out your older videos. 😊

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

7:38 thats a little spout, maybe for buckets or as a drinking fountain, you can see the little button on the top

[@novanut1964]

the brass piece with linkage was a tub drain stopper. the 2" nut looked like a shower drain hold down nut, great video

[@muddyshoesgardener]

Interesting video. Thank you.

[@jimbayler4277]

That Brass fixture at 7:30 is the spigot off the crock from a Bottled water dispenser. The old "Water Cooler"! See the push button in the end of it ?! The threaded part of it with the nuts, is the bulkhead fitting from where it goes through the wall of the crock.

[@refiii9499]

At 9:56 where you locate the buckle if you look to your 7 o’clock there appears to be another buckle right below it.

[@ericsackman6896]

The 2nd thing is a drain plug for cast iron bath tub. Cool stuff dude thanks for sharing.

[@MikeMcInroe]

I agree Chigg, steer clear of the angry, loud and foul talking strangers....safer that a way! And sure was quite the pile up on that river! Mike in sunny Florida

Great philosophy to live by Chigg. I generally don't like to be around drunk people at all, especially around water though.

Naisss Vidio friend 😃👍

[@brucejr.5833]

The first unidentified item looks like a spigot from an antique barrel. Like the round igloo coolers you fill with drink. The second unidentified item looks like a rocker off of a motor. They are on top of the heads. What a cool video enjoyed watching thanks!

[@deepsixdesigns1477]

7:45 Thats a push button spigot like from a beverage dispenser! I'd keep it, i love bulkhead fittings.

[@bendjohans3863]

nice one again greetings from bavaria

[@juliec1257]

lol is wicky wocky a technical term. I just love the river hunts

[@loriward5512]

Beautiful place 🥰

[@jimschafer9196]

LOL .. was that creek called plumber creel. That early find was a sink drain plug/stopper, the big flange nut looked like sink strainer nut that hold the strainer in the sink, then that metal oblong metal part some cars back in the day used such hardware for the exhaust and or intake manifolds to bridge the casting and clamp them to the head. But enjoyed the day in the creek with you.

[@peterleray6084]

that large white metal nut you found (right before the electrical wire) fastens conduit to junction boxes.

[@canman809]

I belive that first thing you found was a sink drain stopper. Love your videos chig

[@apostlewoody]

That heavy brass piece is a push button spigot for a large water crock. If cleaned up thats worth a few bucks, lots of crocks missing those......

[@alanconnors8881]

Dropped bullet was a relief. Always fingers crossed with new detecting sites. 👍👍

[@tomgahagan7095]

Do you choose what side of a stream/ river to look due to which way the weather comes into that area helping erosion? 🤔🤔🤔

[@johnholmes6897]

Sweet ringer!

[@CapitalNick]

13:00 the doodad looks like the bottom cap on a handle of an early flintlock or percussion pistol.

[@digginupthecarolinas9870]

13:00 it's an internal piece to an engine, goes with the lifters,push rods,valve springs

[@leongraham54]

Part at13;05 is a 236 chevy 6 cyl. exhaust manifold bolt washer. lol the of the earlier crap was kitchen sink parts .And water tank valve for drinking water.

[@timstingel9067]

2:00 sink drain plug or maybe even to and old tub

[@ICrailroadprod.2007]

That train has a very nice First gen K5LA horn.

[@DeepVIDesigns]

7:42 is a spigot from a jug. A beverage dispenser

[@greenacresbloom]

Before watching metal detecting videos I had no clue how much trash there is just everywhere. I'll probably never go barefoot again.

[@muddyshoesgardener]

Exactly! And why is it that there is a history of throwing trash in otherwise clean waterway?

The thing you first picked up was a carpenter's sliding square and the next thing that you dug out of the mud is a bathtub drain.
