I Found All This In One Day While Snorkeling In The River

Wow! I found all of this without a metal detector in the river. In this video, I look at all of the things that I found in the last video that I posted. The link to that river treasure finding video can be found in a pinned comment.
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.

After 30 years of knowing you two, many with Lindsay as our vet, you would think that I would be used to the fantastic things you and Lindsay do with animals, mostly kittahs. But, you're always surprising with me with the great commitment you have to help save animals. They are blessed with your care and I'm blessed with your friendship. You two will have to stop by and see our eight rascals and rascalettes. Keep up the great work.

[@brendaprice7686]

I’m pretty sure the kittys stole the spotlight in this vlog. Thanks for sharing your finds & the precious animals.

[@aquachigger]

I think so too!

[@athelwulfgalland]

You're right, the trinkets & things discovered were real interesting (especially the WW2 era unit crest, with "Ever Foremost" on the lightning bolt, for the 778th Tank Battalion) but those kittens were absolutely adorable! Were I anywhere near there I would want to adopt one of the gray kittens.

[@broadstken]

Chigg, the shield piece pictured at 20:39 is the unit crest for the 778th Tank Battalion and is WW2 era. It says "Ever Foremost" on the lightning bolt. They apparently saw heavy action in Europe with the second longest continuous time in battle of all the units in the ETO at 176 days on nonstop fighting.

[@broadstken]

@@squirrels24seven I have been a relic hunter for a long time and I can recognize a lot of things for what they are in general. A little research fill in the blanks usually.

[@athelwulfgalland]

@@broadstken Wow, GREAT eye! I hope Chigg sees this so he knows what he's got on his hands! My son would love to have that to display with his 1/35 scale American tanks. lol I'm going to have to tell him all about it in the morning.

Chigg, I recognize the electrical cover plate. Some very old homes had push button light switches that were round. It's been years since I have seen one. Very cool finds!!

[@brian70Cuda]

You are 100% correct! I have a light switch just like that about three feet away:)

[@jogden6632]

I had an old apartment uilt in the 1920 with all push button light switches. The switch covers were all made of brass as well.

[@secretsquirrel63]

When I was a wee lad and lived in Brooklyn in a second floor flat those were the types of light switches we had! Along with glass crystal doorknobs. I kind of like them more than the modern switch that’s popular today. Great video Chigg.

[@lucasdog1]

I live in a house from 1916. Every light switch has that type of brass cover for the push button switches.

[@claudiasmigelski1528]

My old bedroom home still has the button electric switch !

[@googleeyeseyes4033]

Good for you with the animal kindness, yourself and your wife.

It must be hard to let the kitties go, they are so cute, it’s thanks to you and your wife, they have the chance to live long and happy lives. ❤️

love your content iv been watching since I was about 13-14 years old that was about 5 years ago I always wondered what kept me here throughout the years turns out It wasn't what you would found in the rivers or in the ground it was your personality that kept me there the whole time your as real as it gets thank you for the videos they make my day

Same…I found his last water video kind of blah…and it was because he wasn’t able to talk to us… His videos are great but his character is better.

[@JK35280]

The last kitten we fostered came to us straight from surgery to remove one of her hind legs after it was mangled in a car engine. We fostered her for a few weeks, took her back to the rescue and she ended up being adopted by someone from far away. Happy tails, Tangerine! The religious plaque you found is called Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The two angels are holding the instruments of Christ's Passion. I was raised in the Greek Orthodox Church, and I know that image VERY well. We knew it as Theotokos of the Passion - "Θεοτόκου των Παθών".

[@aquachigger]

Today we look at the finds from my last video. But first, meet a few of my pets. Here is the link to the video where I find all of this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h522moCHZrOjg9E

Hats of to you and the Mrs for all you do for the animals it's clear to me that you are sad to see them go but it's thanks to you both that they go to loving homes fully prepared ready for the big new adventure they take after you checking out your finds love from England obviously I love your channel have done forever cheers

[@viningscircle]

Lovely property Chigg. And so nice of you and your wife to foster these kittens. Interesting collection of finds there.

[@janlester4399]

Oh my gosh, Beau! That quilt hanging on the staircase is amazing!! 😍 (The kitties are adorable…😏) The “musical instrument” parts are reeds from a pump organ, some of the ones I’ve found have the musical note imprinted on them. The brooches, the Madonna icon, and the marbles are very cool! The thing you thought might be a button is interesting, maybe worth looking at with a magnifying glass. I know you find stuff like this all the time and you’d rather find Civil War bullets or mortars, but I love that kind of junk! It’s history!

[@jjsmith8956]

NICE video! Love the animal interaction, they add joy anywhere they are.

[@chrisdriver8453]

Very cool. I love finding old stuff in the river. When I was a kid I used to go down to the James river after a heavy rain and come home with pockets full of civil war bullets that washed down the hills. The Bermuda hundred campaign was very active around here.

[@ColinHarperSummerson]

🇺🇸 Cool finds Chigg and very cute kittys, really enjoy your videos, thank you 🇬🇧

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

Great finds Chigg! All of this could be a great conservation center piece in a coffee table with apoxzy on it! Have a bless full day!!

I can never get over how beautiful your house and property is. It looks so ideal and calm and perfect. I know its none of my business but i would love to see a house/property tour if you ever feel ok with that. Great video!

[@thelostdogs2328]

You’re a good guy Sir! Thank you for loving those kittens! Always love your barn videos and your underwater ones! Cool finds!

[@erpi-ks1by]

The copper/brass plate is a push button light switch plate. We have one in our 1930 house. Up for on and down for off. The “plastic” buttons have a white (mother of Pearl look) tab on the upper button to let you know that is “on”. The bottom is black for “off”. Great finds Chigg! And thanks for the fostering! We are animal people too. They are rascals but love unconditionally. Gods gift to a flawed world.

[@nancymiller7294]

I never knew that you and your wife helped animals like you do, that is so nice. I heard you mention West Virginia which is where I am from. I always wonder about what is in the river at Horseshoe Bend in Alabama. When the battle was going on there were so many Indians and Soldiers that died. If they fell in the river the weapons they had on them sunk to the bottom. The River where the battle happened has steep and slick sides and is said to be real silty. The last time I was there was about 15 years ago and I was told the visibility is too bad to dive. Have you ever been there ? Bodies of the Indians that sunk to the bottom were left there. I learned this from Al. History by Rev. Cherry and Alexander Nunn.

[@shortar15]

the 778 tank battalion crest. It was founded in 1943 in Camp Barkeley Texas so it is a possible prewar crest or something from some one who served. The shield badge that looks bronze with a lightning bolt thru the middle.

[@aquachigger]

Thanks for the info.

[@davidraines1380]

Chig I didn’t see any junk in the pile. I love anything older than me. I’m 68. We also have a house full of kitties that we are giving away. They are all beautiful and any that find homes probably will be here for their whole lives. Enjoyed your video

[@BubbleBrAcElEtSBoutique]

“Pewter /glass ball” item was a candle stick and the first “bowl” item was also part of a candlestick holder for a lighting candle and when the bowl part filled with wax you could warm it under a flame and pour the wax out! You do the same stuff I absolutely love doing so I can’t get enough of your videos! You couldn’t compete with the cat on the hammock in the fist part looking through treasure! Good heart you got beau!

[@irvingbrown2389]

How’s it going Beau? Wow !!crazy how much you found in one day!! I’m surrounded by swimming holes in the Catskills of upstate NY. No civil war areas here unfortunately. Usually you’ll find thee usual change and sometimes jewelry but rarely anything old. A lot of the older swimming holes are privately owned! So many city people buying up property and don’t allow anyone in their private stream section!! So many times I see you go up different streams and creeks and find civil war camps and different civil war areas. Just isn’t anything around me like that. I’d love to know how I could better research my area to find some historical locations that were forgotten through time and no one cares about the land or it’s not privately owned! I do talk to people and sometimes get permission. Many times regardless of how nice you are or how respectful you are of peoples property they don’t care, they just don’t want people there. I guess they’d rather any historical items be left in the ground never to be seen again by anyone. I always love seeing all the things you find. Your one of the original channels I subscribed to and still enjoy watching!! Thanks so much for all the time you spend to make this channel possible!! Also just love the song!! I know it well now!! It somehow makes me think about my area, the Catskills. Thanks again Beau!! Take care, stay safe and healthy!!

[@thurin84]

7:34 reminds me of an old good luck token i used to have. the indented areas had "lucky" numbers in them. 12:22 is a military "distinctive unit insigna" DUI as worn on dress uniforms probably ww2 or earlier as, from the size of the circle on the back, it looks like whats called a "screwback" with a crew and nut for attachment. googling turns up that its the 778th tank bttn. so it should hold some special value for you chig. they were usually purchased in pairs so maybe theres another one still out there waiting for you. 13:24 from the shape it looks like a dog tag prayer pendant worn by soldiers on their dog tag chain. 13:47 looks like a small candle holder, maybe for religious ceremonies. 15:13 switchplate for push button light switches. my buddy has them in his house dating from the 1940s. his are brass. 16:06 screen center left close to the green marble, the conical thing looks like a bugle or coronet mouthpiece. 19:37 looks like a military roller buckle. maybe ww1 era or a little before.

That cool badge is from ww2 the 778th tank battalion. I wonder if that other thing that you said looked like a military badge where a ribbon would be attached, is from the same person? It's so sad to see someone's things that should be treated with importance just rotting away at the bottom of a river.

Yes, that was a good haul with some relics. The copper plate is an electrical push button switch cover plate. I think the cup thing with a hole in it is the part of a candle holder that catches the wax. The thimble like piece might be part of candle holder. Love all the kittens. I take in unwanted and mistreated cats. We socialize them and give them a forever home. There’s seven and most are black or grey. Of course they get spay/neuter, vaccinations and chipped.
