Cows only do cow pies over gold coins, that's why their cow pies give off a signal.

Get the drone up chigg .you might be able to see the out line .just a thought.👍💯🍀

[@brendaadams9244]

I really enjoy your videos from Michigan

[@tntcyclespdx640]

This series is better than the Game of Thrones series, thanks Chig!

[@gregholderfield6797]

A drone equipped with LIDAR will find the fort if its there. Love this series!

[@tas3059]

I keep waiting everyday for this moment to dig deeper with you into the past 💯💪🏼

Hey Chigg , I'm reminded of Carly Simon's song Anticipation ! lol Great series !

[@pauljefferies2091]

When they started doing excavations to find the walls at Ft Vancouver they noticed that most of the holes they dug for the posts had rocks thrown in them. They figured that it was for stability.

[@loklie3226]

Growing up we put layers of rocks in the bottom of post holes to allow water to drain and protect the posts from rotting.

[@alanmoffat4454]

ITS GREAT TOO WATCH YOURSELF AND TODD GIVE US AN INSIGHT TO AMERICAN HISTORY 🥂.

[@dougalexander7204]

It’s obvious you feel you’re detecting hallowed ground. A gentleman.

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

Absolutely love this series. One of my all time favorite

[@gayeyount7948]

This may be your best series yet.

[@MrSwosh89]

I am following these videos like a HAWK! Amazing content man, simply amazing!

[@hikerx9366]

Sometimes when you view the area using a drone you can see faint signs or changes in the ground level that could signify signs of a barricade or wall structure.This is truly an exciting series Beau, can't wait to see what you find down the road.

[@sonnypate6808]

To me the finds are as exciting as gold coins. History is so dang cool.👍☮️

[@waso122463]

Those rocks may have been place around the post of a gate as reinforcement.

[@robertjohnson8537]

Your excitement is very catching, I'm sitting here with anticipation at the same level as you.Thank you Chigg ,thanks a lot😀

[@anthonykendrick1418]

Absolutely loving this series. Very informative.

[@terryl4219]

I have watched your videos since the beginning and have enjoyed every single one of them but with this series you have moved to an all time high. You did the research and the leg work and found long lost history, absolutely outstanding! Congratulations Chigg!

[@dianeburnejko2908]

Always learn so much history from your videos & anticipate the great finds. Love the adventures👍

Got my undivided attention on this one! You guys got this!

Best series of videos you have done in a while.....totally enjoyable to watch .......

Leaving me wanting MORE. Excellent series Chigg (Todd too). 👍 "Dirty hands are happy hands"

[@renofredrenofred4913]

I'm glad to see you're making headway.......Your last hole in particular looks very promissing. I'm looking forward to the continuation Video! Good luck guys! Have a good day and a better tomorrow.!

[@scotford8164]

Very much enjoying this set of videos. Enjoy everything you do, but this mix of history, mystery and metal detecting makes for an interesting and attention grabbing show! Blessings!

[@MbgFire2067]

I love this series. It reminds of the British TV series called Time Team. Get some trenches dug in and there and some geo-phys to show you where everything is underground…lol! Keep up the great work as you have inspired me to do similar type videos here in my area.

[@andrews.2940]

Exactly what I was thinking.. Time Team is a great show.

[@earlt.7573]

Sean Grimm O yeah, I can just see Phil in there scraping away with a trowel, and Tony saying "C'mon Beau, we got just 3 days ta sort this ! "

[@baysideauto]

Man this is so great, thanks Chigg for this awesome adventure.

[@johnramirez5032]

I see your excitement! You love history and being the archeologist! Its a really good thing too! I hope you find the fort!

[@superrose3609]

Thanks for always taking us along on your adventures. So glad I came across this channel

[@ashmaybe9634]

Wow Chig, this is the first video I have ever waited all day for. I am loving this series. Well done! MOAR!! Thank you

[@sdavis7916]

Another great video, thanks so much for taking the time to post them!

[@michelleg8727]

Im loving this hunt for Upper Tract!!! Ty Chigg💖✌️

[@richardperkins6132]

Some more awesome finds Chigg/Todd. I think you are on the right path/track on the location of the fort. That's awesome. You guys are actually telling the story of the fort an the people that noone has been told before. That's amazing to be able to tell about the fort an what we believe happened the day they burned the fort an all the people parished during the raid by the Indians. Good luck guys on your hunts an your finds related to the old fort. As always safe and happy hunting/digging.😁👍👍

[@MG-sh9ss]

Lookin' pretty tactical Mr Chigg! Thanks for making these videos and sharing your experiences with us. So much better than most of the crud on tv.

[@jamesthompson8008]

Just wanted to say Thank you for sharing this series of videos; I've watched many of your vids & am fairly certain this is a unique situation where you are discovering things in a truly unknown historical context. Normally it's a dig on known history (farms/homes/forts) with documentable history; This clearly is not that; as well as the relatively short, obscure timeline of its existence/end. My point being here you're proving/providing substantial historical evidence vs only adding to known previous history. I'm unsure how many times you've been in this situation, but wanted add my thanks for adding broader context to the pioneer/colonial history of our country's beginnings. My hope is this adds to the county/state historical data in significant way as opposed to possibly only becoming debate-type of info, sadly used in a political way in some historical societies. Thus far, clearly this site warrants SERIOUS investigation, though how much the owner is willing to tolerate will ultimately be the prevalent factor. Thanks again!

[@brian70Cuda]

You have a true knack of making the most interesting vids Chigg, thank you for another!:)

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Thanx Chigg .... this series is very interesting.... can't wait to see the next

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

I'd definitely be hitting that with a 15" coil too. The 15" Cors coil on the Max is outstanding. It gets great depth, still separates, and can pickup small items.

[@tommyhall350]

Chig hope you an Todd have a great week end hope y'all find a lot of good treasures take care buddy's

[@ericspnw8385]

Would love to see more of this type of content.

[@daveallen9921]

Hey Chig, why not do a geophysical survey? If it is expensive, then do a fundraiser. Your army will get behind this. Then you can dig with some accuracy.

[@eddominates]

I think poking around blindly for random treasure is half the fun for old Chigg

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

He probably will call in geophysics when he has some proof. The new geophysical that "Time Team" in the UK uses gives a more 3D picture. So cool.

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

The piece of brass at 15:95 could be a key for holding the barrel on a Penn.rifle(?). Or maybe the piece of whats left of a service musket trigger guard or patchbox after a fire.

[@chuckjenkins4348]

Sure wish I was there with you guys. Love learning all this new history...

[@cartwheelcoinscollectibles5660]

This was great history lesson. I have a vested interest in this as my ancestor COL Joshua Fry was the commander and chief of the Virginia Militia until his death on 31 May 1754. He was LTC George Washington's Commander until his death when Washington took command. Sad how history forgets those that gave so much.

[@frankforrest1597]

So true friend ✌

[@Pwrcritter]

Soo interesting. Time to call in reinforcements. You're really onto something..

[@Jaybob33]

Fascinating! Could the rocks in the deep hole be to support a post?

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

An aerial look at the site with a drone may help find the palisades , or ideally a GPR scan ... But old school is the funerest ... “dig a trench look for the post holes , dig a trench look for the post holes ...” 🤠

[@shartroost9619]

I’m so glad to see your still making fantastic videos; ;I’ve learned a lot by watching them and I wish I could fallow you on your hunts; it’s like my buck wish always searching for things to do that interest me the most. I’ve search for old things with history. Shar Tn

[@michaelfeltis4940]

Really enjoying these videos. The brass object at 14:59 reminded me of a piece of collar brass like for a Lt. Interesting stuff.

Awesome video thank you for sharing from Michigan

[@ericday604]

Awesome!! Please bring more!!

[@j.elknur9338]

Enjoying the series. You should map the finds, this could give you some insight into the boundaries of the fort. Once you take it out of the ground, you lose the context which is now lost forever.

[@jamesthompson8008]

I was thinking the same on mapping, providing more context to the site.

what a happy chigg; Detective Detectorist.

[@stephenshepherd1433]

[@deadmetal3414]

Hey Chigg, you may have already heard about this. Frank from From Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places thinks that he might have discovered the M Cave of Kenny Veach.

I'm loving this series! Can you tell me what the significance of the "plow line" is when sleuthing about for artifacts?

[@shaunacall4685]

Artifacts in the plow line have been disturbed. Under the plow line means the artifacts are probably pretty close to in situ when they were lost/dropped.
