Metal Detecting A Civil War Battle Site In The River

Mike and I jetboat up the river to metal detect a Civil War battle site. We both find relics with our metal detectors and have a great time.
As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of 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. I keep my KZbin "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

4th like, happy fathers day, guys

[@TheStwat]

I've been catching up on River Hunters on Blaze recently. It's lovely to see you were exactly the same on TV as you have been on KZbin all these years I've been watching you. No fakery or bollocks whatsoever. It's actually a very good show. I do hope you do more.

[@phillypersonpretzel]

Mike is like that cool uncle who will slip you 50 bucks for your birthday at a family bbq, and then push you in the pool later, while you're holding a beer.😂

[@randyscj429]

Hello Y'all, good finds for sure! Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊

[@user-cs1bt2qw4i]

Yo Beau been watching you for years. I heard my granddaughter today singing your theme! I was excited, I just had tell you. Love you brother ❤️

[@aquachigger]

[@mercedithcompala8148]

Always enjoy your adventures, and having fun too ❤

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Wow! That looked like a three ring Minnie fireball. I've got a two ringed and it's dated back from 1850's and 1860's. Nice find. Mine was found n a field where the Indians used to live around in south Georgia. Stay safe and God bless

[@The_Great_White_Moose]

Those were some gr8 finds!😂

[@48thstateprospecting]

[@JustAnotherTP]

Still a lot of great relics/artifacts to find - the bullets and more.

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

A great day on the river with Chiggs and Mike. Nice civil war relic finds. 👍👏😀

[@itzcaseykc]

Yeah... ya gotta watch out for those fired pennies for sure. They're a doozie. 🤣😂

[@AndyWarren]

I was thinking yesterday, I haven't watched Chigg do an in river hunt in a good while, and behold you post a new vid doing so. Good to see you still at it!

[@Travelling..Bottle..Digger]

Good stuff, bud... enjoyable as always

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Awesome.

[@silverback8183]

Can't help but wonder how much awesome stuff you pass over as you out on the river

[@aquachigger]

A lot I am sure.

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@artsimpson3670]

Aloha Chigg, da kine looks like a gimlet 2:45. Maybe also for removing a hang fire bullet from muzzleloader. But looks like it had a handle of sorts so probably a gimlet. 4:36 My earlier poem: "Bullets and buttons in a river of tears, lost by men trying to calm their fears, shooting and shouting they clawed their way, knowing that this would be their last day." Imagine in combat, with bullets hitting the guy next to you in the face, fumbling the bullet to load for your next shot. That's why so many dropped bullets. Thanks to you and Mike for our American history and the companionship. Aloha and Mahalo Chigg.

[@MichaelaC531]

It never gets old, when you are finding bullets!

[@eddominates]

one of these days Mike will find the elusive 'fired coin'

[@TomFromMN]

Better late than .... Time for the picture show.

Awesome finds!

[@ducttapedigger7811]

Awesome

[@dougsnyder8963]

Great recoveries guys. Those fired coins are super rare. 🤪 I love digging IH’s. One of my favorite coin designs. Did you find your lost shirt from last episode or do you have a closet full of those Chigg? Thanks for the video.

[@vicferrari9380]

Dang you must have a huge box full mini balls. You could have a live fire Civil War reenactment. Not to sure any of your rifles would be very accurate. 😂

[@jasondavenport9681]

Hey, Chigg, you mentioned it was a deep hole where the soldiers perished. Have you ever went diving in said hole for relics? Awesome Hunt and Video, As Usual!

[@aquachigger]

Yes, it has been cleaned out. Only found one iron barrel wipe.

[@dougsnyder8963]

Thanks!

[@aquachigger]

Thanks so much for the donation! i really appreciate it.

[@davidhendricks8699]

Happy Father's Day men

[@westend273]

At the early time of Bennington triangle could there been surplus from the American civil war, things brought back to places like Norwich University. When I was a teenager, I recall a man telling me about American civil war surplus in a broken crate near the tracks in Lodi ca, he was born in the late 1940s and he and his friends used the bayonets as toys. He drove a 1930s chevy pickup and not say all the victims but wondering if there was a possibility, could there been real logging booms blowing stumps so overlooked, I don't know the area and people don't always deliver packages well.

[@oldbamadirt2148]

😎👍✌

[@rogerallen6644]

I wonder how many of them struck a soldier. Sad to think .

[@gr84x4]

Why are there always so many dropped bullets? Are they grabbing the, from a pouch in the heat of the battle and just drop them?

[@aquachigger]

Once they get wet, they are just extra useless weight to carry. May have tripped and fallen too.

[@waltradcliffe4482]

I was wondering that too, could they have been in a pocket of someone that didn’t make it and the cloth rotted away over the years?

[@hamshackleton]

4.26, rifle sling. - -

Chig is a great swimmer, he can out swim a beaver.

(Morgan Freeman's voice).... but he didn't.

[@daveparnell3886]

Hey chig have you ever magnetic fished that deep hole ?

[@gregbennett9166]

I reckon this is balls bluff sector And I reckon you've been before

[@jeremykelley4990]

Which battle?

[@christyrogers7707]

Wasn't there someone that used to load their shotgun with a roll of coins in each barrel? Seem to remember from somewhere but can't think where! Cool video, cheers guys

[@johnbrown8059]

I remember that scene from the movie "Young Guns".

[@pharmmech]

I wonder how many hundreds of pounds of bullets Chigg has

[@rachaelleann9847]

anyone know of a good spot where I can go detecting in east Tennessee ? near tri-cities or least close to, I'm in Hawkins county but I'm willing to drive a little ways

[@williamb8180]

Why are they mini balls when they are not a ball

[@aquachigger]

"ball" is a military term for a bullet regards of shape.

[@rachaelleann9847]

get tired of you?? heck no don't be silly lol

[@raynin]

1st

[@matthewfox3163]

Horrible battle that was…Total loss for the Union. Many soldiers died not by battle but by drowning.

[@henrybucki7813]

good swimmer with those new boots? i dont think so

[@PaulGadoury]

I can't believe Chigg has never done a give away, well, except for the piece of river junk he has in his fence, which he stuffed all his broken sunglasses. A lot of people did a lot of work to get him above 1 million subs. Come on Chigg, do a Minet ball give away and stop being so stingy.

[@48thstateprospecting]

If you notice channels that do giveaways don’t grow as fast and hardly ever reach 1 million subs I think KZbin punishes them for it… chigg makes subs the old fashioned way… he EARNS them
