Discovering Hidden Treasures On A Sheep Farm: Uncovering 1700s Spanish Silver!

Today I metal detect and search a sheep farm in the Shenandoah Valley. This is the first time for me metal detecting this part of the farm. Starting out I do not know if there will be any coins, relics, or other silver or gold artifacts to find.
I take my time and explain the metal detecting hobby, the history of the area, and other clues to the past to look for as I go along fields located along the Potomac river.
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.

This was a fun little outing. I even found a 1700's Spanish silver coin. I hope you enjoy the adventure!

[@leannkennedy6568]

Finally, a silver coin and 1700's to boot. Congratulations!

Hey have you heard anything about if someone found Kenny I seen one video that says hikers found human remains in an area that he was known to hike

[@aquachigger]

I haven't heard, but if it was Kenny it would have been way up in the hills and probably in a shallow cave. They do find many bodies around there being so close to Vegas though.

[@leemclean379]

@@aquachigger yes its supposed to be in the area that you went looking for him I will see if I can get your email and send you a link to what I seen I guess it's been in the last week

Ching, I was watching my sister dog in Mendon Mass. And at 4am. I went outside for a cigarette and I heard this loud noise that sounded like Satan coming from the center of the earth. I am 55 years old and never so frighten;ed in all my life. Well, I don't believe in supernatural stuff so I set out to find out what made ;thpe noise. It was a bob cat. look up Bobcat sounds and their is la fairly short; clip and they make a bunch of noises but all I heard was this 2 seconds or so,; scary ;noi=se. ;; I am so glad I found out what it was. I wondered if pit was kids, but plug in sounds of a bobcat and the 2 minute video at about 24 seconds and you will hear what I mean.

I have a Chigg’s Army sticker on the back glass of my truck. Although poor, I’m proud to support Aquachigger the best I can. It’s cool to learn something every video and he’s a good man.

[@TomFromMN]

Perfect time to watch a nice long adventure! Thanks, Beau!

[@aquachigger]

My pleasure

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Beautiful day to be out metal detecting. Nice finds Chigg’s.👍👏😀

[@chuckjenkins4348]

Hey Beau. I think your brontosaurus is an escutcheon off of a drawer pull it’s just been broke up, but it looks like it was a large escutcheon off maybe from a large dresser drawer.

[@rebeccacross5064]

I love all of your videos. I also love the knowledge that you share with all of us. Keep up the great content. You got me into metal detecting. I've not found anything cool, but it's still fun.

[@aquachigger]

I appreciate that. Good luck out there!

[@jeffinphx517]

You will do your research, Rebecca.

[@TomFromMN]

Now I find out that in addition to all the other areas of expertise, you know your dinosaurs! I hope I'm not included! LOL! Wow! Even this one was over way too fast! Not a bad day and the sun was shining for you!

[@newbietones]

Nice hunt as always Chig. Love the cut silver coin. Have yet to find any cut Spanish silvers, but do have a handful of complete ones. No coppers yet for 2024 and unfortunately most of mine are just like your’s… wiped 😂

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Love the Stegosaurus. Looks early. Thanks for taking us along.

[@rickyb2200]

[@alexsprings87]

Happy Sunday Mr. Chigg!!

[@marymisdom3955]

I like it when you say drownded and dieded. 😊. We know it's just your goofy side. My Dad used to do that. He'd say goofy things like horsepickle for hospital. Great adventure, thank you

[@TheFattdragon]

Excellent hunt Chig, gratz on the treasure

[@celticmandoplayer]

Hey Beau, I think that metal plate you found @16:40min mark, is a backing for one of those home electric meters.

[@chriscook8076]

I like the new zoological term, giant coyote thing. Lol

[@Junkinsally]

Looks like you found the remains of the workshop on the property! With the button and what looks like scrape cooper where different sizes of buttons were punched out of. Great finds indeed!

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Awesome hunt and coins!

[@relicrat]

Fun finds and a relaxing day of digging. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@mikealsleben4671]

I watch every video, Chigg. I've never seen you find an ox shoe. Looks like you've found lots of moonshine still parts in this video!

[@deehooper1025]

At 17:40 when you’re holding the little,piece,of something (didn’t have sound turned up), there was a bright metal circle up in the top right corner.

[@dougsnyder8963]

Always enjoy your adventures Chigg. Beautiful spot. Congrats on that Spanish silver! 👍

[@PaulGadoury]

nice finds. great video. a Chigg classic.

[@oilerfreak]

17:00 ..... looks like a wall plate for a wood burning stove, my grandparents looked like that.

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Always enjoy watching, nice and interesting finds , thanks Chigg 👍

[@5.56Media]

Those various "dinosaur" parts remind me of a design from an old saber handguard.

[@danielmaximino3403]

I remember watching your videos back in 2015 been long time

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

16:32 Looks to me like a cover plate for an old tractor, where the gear shift lever would protrude from the hole 🙂

[@aquachigger]

Thanks for the id.

[@squirrelorama]

Nice finds Chigg!

[@FATMOUTH-zm5zo]

Yo Aqualung I heard it through the Great Vind that Chicken Little was raised right where your feet 🐾 was standing during this video. Not to sure how true that is but let us know will ya 😜

Dinosaur finder Chigg!

[@rodogden8714]

Will you be attending the RCM rally and Detective again this September?

[@kevinbarton4012]

That copper dinosaur thing looks like a lion that was on a decorative piece. That is probably old, old.

[@CHAD-RYAN]

You were talking about a Stegosaurus danosaur with the hump.

[@aquachigger]

I know, I corrected it later in the video.

[@CHAD-RYAN]

You did! I should have shut my mouth

[@markmissildine961]

That brass dinosaur kinda just looks like a decorative oak leaf

[@dennismorris3254]

Great hunt chigg. I hate when a coin is smoothed

[@unclejsclubhouse4231]

Maybe your stegosaurus piece is from a Spanish treasure chest, and that Spanish coin has friends..

[@willrumbold8050]

The copper 'dinosaur' thing is an old furniture escutcheon

[@jackyoung42]

where do you get those old maps , I'd love to check some areas close to where I live, I'm about sick of shot gun shells and tin cans 😒not a bullet or square nail in sight!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Hey Chigg

[@WizzardofOdds]

Looks like that one paw print was from the Chupacabra

[@Benito-lr8mz]

Esta bien escrito pero se pone una s al final en plural chupacabraS ; saludos

[@oldbamadirt2148]

Cool

[@deirdreshaw2761]

Could have been part of a "D-ring" snaffle bit?

[@HughDuszaPastor]

9:25 If not an escutcheon it might be a Lion shape from a military British Soldier's hat.... hmmm?

[@aguadigger]

👍G8 !

[@jaywinters2483]

I bet the river level was a lot higher than it is today.

[@tomsmith5881]

Its a Chippendale dresser pull

[@snowballil3133]

I believe the dino is a spinosaurus, looks like one.

[@bencoleman1893]

Can anyone tell me the name of the type of shovel Chigg uses I have looked through many videos but can’t find where he mentions it and I would love to get one.

[@aquachigger]

Trenching shovel from Home Depot or Lowes.

Thanks Chigg. And thanks for another great video! Those were some great finds!
