Metal Detecting And Bottle Collecting Via Motorized Kayak

[@markbeatty17]

Glad to see you got back to your roots that's why I originally started watching working those creeks and rivers I think that's why they call you Aqua chigger

[@greeneyes1963]

Finally got warm enough to get back in the creeks and rivers.

[@AdamosDad]

Yes he is the Aquachigger , he has been out of the water in the US to do a TV show in the water in the UK, yes glad to have him back.

[@three6ohchris]

Good morning Mr. Aquachigger! I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your love of US History, and taking us along on all of your adventures. I'm glad you're able to get back in the river finally! Anyway, thanks again for dedicating so much of your time and money towards educating the public on so many interesting items and tidbits from our past! I'd love to be able to spend a day with you, just talking about the Civil War and picking your brain. You sir, are a good man!

That my good friends is a toe bitter Belostomatidae is a family of freshwater hemipteran insects known as giant water bugs or colloquially as toe-biters, Indian toe-biters, electric-light bugs, alligator ticks, or alligator fleas. They are the largest insects in the order Hemiptera. Wikipedia. more people should watch Brave Wilderness 😁 and yes it bites and yes it hurts great content as always Beau thanks for sharing and remember to hold your breath 🤜👍✌️

I named him Harrington.

Chigg, You don't always find treasure but the best part is the hunt. And you show how much you love it.

Lol Me too 👍

[@jerrydempsey3490]

I really love the fired civil war bullets. To me it represents a fixed moment in the war.

[@chrishui1948]

If that one bullet found its mark a few hundred people may have never existed, and counting.

[@jerrydempsey3490]

@@chrishui1948 Exactly. That bullet may have changed history. At least for one family. That's why fired civil war bullets have so much more meaning than dropped bullets.

the blurry part around 8 minutes in had me cleaning my glasses off. felt pretty dumb! great video and good laugh thanks aquachigger!

[@aserta]

You can temporarily direct a river to un-cloud your area by using ten poles with fabric tied to them (think fishing net, but with fabric). I have done this many times and it works really nice when you're searching through muddy water. You stake the poles in a diagonal to your spot of need to create a choke point. Doesn't need to be deep (as in the fabric doesn't need to reach the bottom) but you need at least 3 meters of it. It's easily stored in a tube along with the poles.

Chigg is never happier than when he is on the Civi War finds.

Excellent! See you tomorrow!

[@davidm8782]

"That sounds gooooood now let me tell ya" Reminded me of the Cajun Chef - Justin Wilson.... not sure if that was a national show or just regional...

[@talk2kev]

The story behind that canteen Albert Nathan Bedford a soldier fighting for the Confederate States, was sent down to the river to fetch a bucket of water. While at the river's edge he retrieved his own canteen to fill. When he hears talking coming from the other bank of the river. He looks up in disbelief to see three union soldiers, about the same time a shot rings out landing only inches away. His heart is racing like a rabbit as he drops his canteen and reaches for his pistol getting off a shot. A second shot is heard striking the pale water. Trying to get up the slick muddy bank he takes refuge behind a large elm tree. Taking careful aim he pulls the trigger only to hear a click dang misfire. At this time the union gun fire sounds like a fourth of july celebration with the old Elm taking the brunt of the hits. At that moment he thought I must get back to camp and warn the others. As he makes it to the crest of the bank he is greeted by a couple of guys from his regiment. He makes it out of that skirmish to tell the tale, how a canteen of water just about cost him is life to six wide eyed grandchildren sitting cross legged on a farm porch in rural Alabama. With the youngest Nate named after him pulling on his shirttail. Papa tell us another one.

[@stingray427man]

Mother Nature sunk Chiggs battleship? Hah 🤙

I hope the paddle back wasn't too bad. The Chigg is always entertaining-regardless!

[@billadams1018]

Fantastic as always.

[@codycrawford2059]

I would love to have seen that !! its not to often we get to laugh at the chigg

[@AndrexT]

Another great video as always. At 14:11 bottom centre of the fish spawning nest there is a circular bung with a raised lug, cannon muzzle bung? It was so neat to meet you on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you for all the tips. That guy I was telling you about was from Mount Airy, MD. I went on my first adventure with my Garrett Ace 400 last night to the play area where I live, I got a US cent from 1967 in great condition, two Canadian cents from 1987, a nut, a bolt, a nail, a piece of foil and a bottle cap. So pleased to not get skunked on my first trip. Thanks again and enjoy the mine :>)

[@budrohammbone2806]

I'm mean have you checked? You just never know about the Chig. He might have a motorized jet butt. Look at his kayak! ;-)

[@shootthemoon6072]

Beau, you should send that bottle off to Bobby Duke; let him engrave the Chiggs Army logo into that circular area. 😍

I hope that in a couple hundred years people will get this excited about an 80s Buick hubcap.

[@glenpierce777]

Some very nice bottles there Mr Beau.

[@dontchaknow8496]

The wife and I just discussed the fact that "Turn of the century" is no longer a valid turn for older items. Funny you would mention it the next day. Good Video chig, thx.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Bad luck on the flip. I hope you had some of the items that you found still in your kayak 👍 God video. Good time watching your search too. 😊

[@relicrisers5781]

Those water bugs are little killers. I think some of them kill minnows. Pretty neat, he didn't wanna let you go chigg. Yeah, if only the go pro was rolling when you hit that water, would have been great footage lol. Glad to see you still in good spirits with a long paddle ahead of you. Thanks for another adventure sir! You take care.

[@rogerparker329]

The bug was the naiad or Juvenile Dragonhunter a type of Clubtail Dragonfly (Hagenius brevistylus)

[@theantichrist5191]

No it wasn't, it was a giant water bug and they have an extremely painful bite

hey chigg, i think the anheiser busch bottle could be worth saving, it appears to be pre-prohibition and is a nice amber color. my girlfriend found an aqua colored version in the woods and it turned out to be worth about $20!

14:11 was a button in the fish nest near the bottom edge.

[@aserta]

IF you plan to paint the boat again, give plasti-dipping a try. Might wanna get a cheapo spray can and test it on a patch on the top. I have a small kayak that i plasti-dipped and it's holding on good so far (with the original PD paint can).

[@WatcherintheDark69]

Will the Chigg-Yak ever run again? Stay tuned for the next exciting adventure of Aquachigger!

[@rexjohnson5936]

That was a dragonfly larva (actually called a nymph instead of a larva)

[@theantichrist5191]

No it wasn't, it was a giant water bug, they have one of the most painful bites/ stings in the world

[@rexjohnson5936]

Not to be a stickler .... Odonate (dragonfly) nymph. And you're right - giant water bugs do have a painful bite, but you really have to harass them to get them to bite most of the time.

[@theantichrist5191]

Well It was a giant water bug and not a dragonfly nymph

I always enjoy your trips to the river because in Australia we don’t have all that history you Americans have take care love the vids keep up the good work bro.

Sorry you sank the Chigg Chugger, but not your enthusiasm. This was a fun hunt. What is it about seeing you get wet and wild in a river full of Civil War relics that just makes my day?! One of us must be crazy but who cares. It's lovely out, you survived your sinking, and didn't lose anything, so all is good. Have a great day, and hope you aren't too sore from too much paddling. All's well that ends well!
