I Almost Made Mike Cry

[@kekoarider6384]

That tube thing is a base to a antique fishing rod. The base of the reel is still inside of it.

[@chucksanderson3107]

The item at around 4:20 is a mallet. The two openings on either side of the handle had soft material to persuade things into position. I've seen the with rolled rawhide, copper, lead, plastic, etc.

[@HokieJuju]

That fish carved bullet is fantastic!!! I ❤️ it!!! They carved some cool stuff with the bullets!!!

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Awesome finds Chigg . That bullet carved into a fish was special. It’s really incredible what all was lost in the creeks and rivers .

[@joshsmith7176]

Would be cool if the bullets could tell stories sometimes.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

[@NQExplorers]

What a great day out Beau, love the 'live dig' and the reveal on that US plate - awesome. Nice run of finds there, look forward to the next mate - Happy Fossicking! Warren.

[@kevinhavens5279]

My step dad is a full blooded Indian and he would tell me stories from when he was a kid about his grandmother carrying around a small turtle shell made into a tobacco pouch that had been handed down through the years

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

My grandad was of the Cherokee Nation and they used small turtle shells to make rattles, I'm sure like every other animal, they used everything

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Awesome finds, Masters Chigg and Mike. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@darbysdownhomedetecting]

Awesome video fellas! Congratulations on that us belt plate! You guys saved some amazing history! Videos like this one chig is what got my kids and myself into metal detecting and eventually starting up our own detecting channel on KZbin! Keep up the good work!

Looks like another spot to research. Once I saw that Gardner it said skirmish!

[@headrot2443]

Beautiful area

[@geraldplucinski9961]

It looks like a Rawhide hammer or mall used for stone work that's what I used it for

[@VIP-603]

One of your first videos I watched was about the large amount of coins you found at an old river crowing…. I remember you found 100’s of silver dollars. What’s the link to that video… I’d like to watch it again. Also do you ever do museum videos about your collection?

Awesome day Chig I love watching you collaborate with smaller channels. Congrats mike your almost half way to that 1k subscriber goal. GR8 Finds y'all I really like the old lead artifact's but the belt buckle is my favorite.

[@frankforrest1597]

Chigg strikes "gold" again! Awesome finds bud 👍✌ "Dirty hands are happy hands"

[@TomFromMN]

Had to chcuckle a bit, as a friend used those same words, telling me, "You're one of the lucky ones". I wasn't sure how they meant it at the time. You've given me a better, more positive interpretation. Thanks, Beau. BTW, I enjoyed the adventure! I had watched many videos before I understood why wheat pennies were a good thing. Lots for me to still learn.

[@mercedithcompala8148]

Great day , lots of fun. The water was beautiful

[@greasy148]

that mallet with the hollow faces would've had leather tightly rolled and shoved into the holes to act as a soft striking face

[@williamhurt8512]

ditto!

[@coryyoung574]

That's what came to mind as soon as I seen it.

[@marksmallman4572]

Thor hammers have leather one end, copper on the other.

[@Adam-wl8wn]

I thought it was a rawhide mallet too.

[@staceyzeto2315]

Great episode, Mike sounds exactly like Bill Paxton.

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Awesome day for you guys outdoors in the water great fines chigger 👍

[@claudiasmigelski1528]

[@paulhutinett7403]

Nice vid chigg. Good to see you go out with other hunters.

[@jimschafer9196]

Good creek crawl'in day ... Fly fishing roof handel good call. Thanks for haul'in us along.

[@OCMedia]

Welllllll… this message is to Mike. I got a email from KZbin letting me know you replied to my comment and I wanted to reply to send my thanks but looks like it’s deleted. No worries, just wanted to show my appreciation for the educational learning experience!! Thanks Mike, happy hunting and Salute!

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next

[@kurtholder8270]

I saw something about five inches long and oval shaped when you picked up that smashed bullet . Just to the top right .

[@stigolsson1982]

Nice video and great finds.

[@normawinton6832]

Awesome box plate! But i would love too find a carved bullet. Such a personal item from the civil war! Congrats!

[@MikeHere]

Thanks Chigg

[@leannkennedy6568]

Awwww I'm so glad you found a buckle!💕

Love the belt buckle

[@christopherbraiden6713]

Thanks for the video, some interesting articles and a great US find!!😎🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧

[@MrOilcountry]

That was the remains of a leather faced mallet thrown back. Highly probable Civil War.

[@anniegaddis5240]

Love the creek treasure hunts!

[@nilecopeland8626]

You know it’s gonna be a great video when chig uploads with him facing the camera (not like all his videos aren’t great because they’re awesome)

Congratulations Chigg!

[@richardhawkins1952]

Awesome finds chigg

[@big-russ5037]

13:50 looks like a fishing rod reel seat possible from a old fly fishing rod.

[@dougalexander7204]

You are a great guy for helping Mike get started. What was his channel’s name?

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Very good finds today! But the least of them, for me, was the most provocative. Fifty-odd years ago, it was assumed in my area the two best beers were Budweiser and Schmidt's. Somewhere along the way, I moved to another part of the country and Schmidt's disappeared. Due to your find, I now know Christian Schmidt Brewing went out of business in 1987. Thanks!

[@dawnconner6123]

odd curved bit is the handle off of a mug. the tiny protuberance is the spot you anchor you thumb to. might have been a wooden tankard w/ a metal handle. they hooked over the rim of the wood, or onto the bands that held the wooden parts together, IF it was made like a barrel.

[@glennaw1547]

Nice day on the water and I am sure you taught the newbie much.

[@fredclemons8923]

Another great video Chigg

[@neillh]

The item. at 4:20 looks like a hide hammer that would have rawhide rolled at the ends

[@jamesarmentrout2728]

Nice finds! Was a good day!!

[@bobbyhunt5795]

Best vids on the tube 👌love aquachigger he's a smart guy

[@alanmoffat4454]

NICE FIND FOR A DAY ON THE RIVER WELL DONE .

Great day out with Mike. ✌

[@HughDuszaPastor]

13:37 Looks like a small spyglass. I have my Great-Great-Great Grandaddy's CSA spyglass. It has lost the front lens but same shape, movement and metal.

[@HughDuszaPastor]

I missed the wood in the middle comment, Beau! Still cool find.

Awesome buckle!

buckle !!!! congratulations !!!!

[@arthurbolton8477]

your bit of tube on a wood handle looks like a Thor copper hide hammer, minus the inserts,

[@johnnyphillips9735]

Awesome finds mr chigg

[@michaelkullas2031]

Confederate Gardner and a Yankee cartridge pouch plate? Something happened there!

[@diggerdoug4733]

Chig... I m thinking that copper tube thing, is the reel holder part off of a fishing rod. And probably the butt end of an old fly rod. I'm pretty sure I've seen them on old fishing rods 🎣 And here, I paused the video to make a comment. I pushed play, and you got it 👍 lol

[@a_zombie_killaonpsn1572]

Looks like it could be a Montauge city Rod Company reel seat for a fly fishing rod.

Awsome finds

[@billyboblillybob344]

The item in the 12:12 vicinity made me think of the end of a ram rod.

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY

[@michaelamanek8908]

Chigg cracks me up !

[@paulhaig4628]

The bullet that was carved was attached to the cylinder found near it....it probably had a hook on it and was used for fishing

[@marygarner5249]

Love ya CHIGG

[@AdamosDad]

I held my breath but I got water in my ears, lol

[@guyloborec7850]

The handle is a fishing reel seat for a fishing rod.

[@stupidfisherman]

At 16:50 it is a reel seat from an old fishing rod

[@RogueRipple]

The hammer lookin object in the beginning portion looked like it could be a dead blow hammer. Caps could've come off, but that would be my guess.

[@trimbaker1893]

That is what I think too.

[@davidhamilton7628]

Yeah raw hide is my guess I've seen them in every machinesst shops

[@HappyHands.]

At first i was like 'Wow what a beautiful stream, i would love to go swining there or tubing." then the rooting dear "Um never mind"

[@shrednsplinter]

Copper handle at the 13:19 - 14:00 minute mark is the base of a fly fishing rod.

[@versedi]

Congratulations! :)

[@Mountainmonths]

11:11 beer mug handle

[@tarstakars]

The steel tube with the wooden handle was a coiled leather ended hammer for heavy delivering non marring blows. I have one just like it.

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

This video was at 8:10 and my girlfriend asked “is he smoking a bong?” 😂😂

[@joshuataft5541]

Made me Wana cry...what a spot

[@larryvanalstyne4159]

That hammer was used to put a cork on the side of those wooden barrels from the moonshine days . The cork was placed in the hole of the hammer then hit with another hammer that was so they didn't hit their fingers.

[@davestelling]

Yessir, you'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to out guess the ol' Chiggster...

[@scoutingforhistory4584]

The thing you said might be a tire stem valve actually looks kind of like a hole punch for canvas to put in grommets.

[@dogismyco-pirate]

The what's it is a fishing pole and as I was writing you figured it out!!

[@whitaker2107]

reminds me of a cleaning rod feral that was plated originaly

[@ianbradley8379]

The 'coppery tube thing' is off a fishing rod. It holds the reel on the handle.
