Metal Detecting And Exploring A Freedman's Home

[@millie-rosemorina3781]

Wow, you've been spoiling us lately with all the uploads! Your videos are really relaxing and informative - super enjoyable for us history nuts. Keep at it!

[@ILikeToLaughAtYou]

I kinda want to privately commission a set of plaques for this place. One for the house, the others for the cemetery. Would ensure this place’s history would never be forgotten. Love these civil war-era and post-war detects, Chigg!

[@melissalove2463]

I Love all these metal detecting channel’s but by far Aquachigger is my favourite hands down!

[@hardyakka6200]

A 94 yr olde asked me what I was looking for with my detector once in the 1980.s When I said coins he gave me a pitying look and said your looking for something they never had.

[@Roosterdoodler]

My Dad told me the same, he grew up during the depression!👍

[@gazpitt8087]

Chigg's Army!!! My favourite time of day is when Chigg posts a video. Chigg o'clock 👌

[@melissalove2463]

Chigg’s” that is what you call A Doo Dad!” 💕😂👍🏻🤣💕

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

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

[@AlanG58]

The 2 tone green car was a 56 or so Hudson Hornet, then I saw a 4 door mid 50's AMC there too, cool cars!

[@MrBruinman86]

17:25 is definitely a large pocket watch plate. Specifically the lower plate that attaches to the face.

[@hikerx9366]

Juat another good look at beautiful countryside and history all wrapped up in one. Thanks for the break from Day 21 on self Quarantine.

[@burymedeep-be7dm]

Honeydippers. I feel much better going to work tomorrow

[@Blackys-Boy]

At the 18:44 mark the "rivet" you pulled up looks like a brass saw nut. If one end is domed and has a slot in it, that's what you got. That type of saw nut was widely used by saw makers like Disston and Simmonds in the early 1920s all the way up to the 1970s. Around near the 70s they were chromed instead of brass

[@michaelcormier620]

You beat me to it! I think so too; there seem to be two parts to it, and maybe a hint of the threads under the dirt.

[@gloriajoseph7031]

Thanks for the great videos.

[@tiny57521]

love the history of your digs

[@annetteamerine6055]

Thanks for the interesting tidbits of history.💕

[@rossdtool]

I started watching ur videos because I love caves. But I watch them all now.

[@buicklesabre8530]

Might have found more coins underneath the seats of those old cars.

[@WayneTheSeine]

I would live there.

[@eddominates]

Another day detecting! I look forward to your videos no matter what, if you find wheat pennies or iphones or just get skunked, it's just nice to be along for the ride and learn random facts from old Beau.

[@lynneperg6853]

Thanks for the video Chigg.

[@heatherbazinet274]

My uncle filled up old wells with old antiques and things he called junk at his homestead in Gallingertown in Ingleside Ontario Canada. He sold his farm ( Grandpa Gallingers)in 1976 for $45,000 and got married at his age of 60...he died a year later before exmas. He bought a house in Cornwall Ontario Canada ...still there too. Anyway just filling holes up with junk was a normal

[@ellengallerani9836]

At 21:40 looks like a pull button from a older car for a manual choke.

[@andrewmoss1187]

Hey Chig have a great next hunt!

[@anncece7767]

what a nice historical property! too funny when you found your own finds...hahaha!

[@randlerichardson5826]

It’s great Chigg that you fill the holes back in like that

[@AdamosDad]

When I was a kid I helped dad dig 2 privy holes before we got indoor plumbing. We had a fancy one on a concrete slab, that we would drag over the new hole and Chigg is right you would throw trash in what was left of the hole and cover it with a mound of dirt from the new one.

[@JapanTreasureHunters1]

Another great video and finds. Keep up the fantastic hunting!

[@lynnhiggins7340]

"sorry about the wind noises" as Chiggs about to enter the wc out house😳😂😂

[@aropals672]

It's a fun hobby but most importantly is that history is being saved.

[@didymusdaniels]

Hey Chig, back where I am originally from Moonshiners used to hide their stashes, both coin(in mason jars) and shine in those outhouses

[@micheleaustin8328]

Lol...Don't ya just love those senior moments?!😁😄😂👍

[@TreasureByMeasure]

Great permission! Can't wait to see what beeps. ...no spoilers 😉

[@eagledetection4451]

Love ya Beau. Every tried hooking up with the Hoover Boys to hunt in their stomping grounds with them? That would be fun to watch.

[@marygarner5249]

[@jgarr9216]

good to see you are using a trowel instead of that shovel all the time. I always worry that you'll damage a good target

[@raynin]

Aahahahaha....Chigg had a moment.

[@scottt8424]

Hey man thanks for the video you really didn't find that much today but just keep digging and you will find seek and you will find

👍 Why was a good trip janma scared there for man and find those 2 pennies

[@stevenleeengland-henson2656]

Cool video always enjoying watching from over here in England 😁

[@deathrattle1000]

Mr. Chigger you have inspired me to purchase a metal detector. You should be a professor of the wild.

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

at 18:54, rivetty thing is a hand saw handle screw..

[@geraldinehallisy8688]

Living it

[@aropals672]

The spouty thing and the thing after was a broken valve and the other was a motor mount.

[@elisabethcole2571]

I'm curious to know what settings you have your machine on as well as which coil you're using? Please share and thanks for the video!!

[@fredruhman9604]

What was the odd hollow sound around 6:24 as you were tamping the hole?

[@lessismore6062]

The white car is a 1967 Chrysler Newport. My first car was a Newport.

[@leannkennedy6568]

Hahaha really loud!! about finding the wheat pennies twice. That's something I would do and laugh hard about it!

[@suettheartistickamillion9996]

wow clean shaved chig. looks nice

[@lisapino6739]

Hahahahaha My Uncle said when he was a little boy he would chase the "Honey Dipper" around his patch.

[@SWWisconsinMetalDetecting]

👍Really Enjoyed the video👍

[@RobertoRodriguez-bs5ur]

Wow

[@getin3949]

Jeez Beau, wouldn't there be seepage from the newer outhouse where you were probing?

[@reginaromsey]

Slaves were freed before the Civil War and there was a fair size group of well to do Freeborn Africans in Savanna, Georgia and other cities. My ancestors were Quakers in Maryland and they were always opposed to Slavery. New members were encouraged to free their slaves if they had any. Those who did frequently provided the freed men and women with land and stock.

[@TxnBBQ75]

The crunchies are the baby bones! Hope not!

[@dougalexander7204]

Chigg.... question. Why do we not find pipe stems and bowls, like Nikola does mud larking the foreshore of the River Thames? Surely those American whippersnappers smoked as soon as they got off the boat. Hey Todd. Much respect fellows.

[@nickyic]

Good question

[@dickjohnson1158]

Doug Alexander , if they laid on the land like other relics ( spoons ,buttons and coins ) they could most likely be found by digging a pit ,but not metal detecting as they were made of materials other than metals . It would be like finding pottery shards would be my guess . Plus Everyone smoked corn cob pipes here , didn’t they ? Lol

[@jeremynagel9427]

Haha you found the wheats twice lol

[@johnrobertson8156]

When did they use a lot of harmonicas? I find a lot at home sites. Also a lot of pump organ reeds. The organ reeds are fun, they have numbers or maybe the notes. I don't know but they do give great signals

[@victoriajean586]

Dearest frost, thank you. Lol

[@victoriajean586]

Also the later objects you dug up look like old car radio parts.

[@ismewhat1234]

Hello everyone

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

12:26 because the fly's cant get through the giant gaps in the wood. ?????????

probably more for rats and squirrels and other creatures

[@SmallWonda]

Thanks Beau for being a Mole Champion - I always thought they did lots of good & thought it sad people turned them into hats and coats... Shame you didn't find too much - next time... 👍😎🦘🐾

I mark my pet graves with the same flowers.

[@GreyStuff]

I love everything you do. I have watched and liked every video .the chigg is as good as river monsters. I really hope you come out of retirement and make more content.

[@lost1nanger]

Couple of years back Bunch of us went camping, and one of the girls asked "why would there be an outhouse out here?" We all looked at each other and laughed. Then she asks "and why the fu*k is it out of order" to which I reply, "shitters full" she asks "why dont they get someone to fix it?" I say "its a literal hole in the ground that you are shitting in pissing in, if its full, they need to move the outhouse and dig another hole" she wanted to leave immediately.

[@jbelme1]

At my home, I dig a lot of pull tabs that have the “blade” wrapped around the pull ring for safety. Like the one at around 5:00 . Why take the time to do that just to toss it in the grass?

[@geyotepilkington2892]

What do you mean? So barefoot people wouldnt slice their foot..

[@TreadwellJay]

Well if they're considerate enough to do that, why not consider not littering in the first place?

[@dianeclarke3112]

In the beginning with the penny's l think that you were following the old clothes line.

[@starraustin9363]

I learned a lot about out houses

[@aquachigger]

Happy to hear that.

[@leebrewer1190]

At 25:28 you can see a Samsquantch head peeking up over the rise in the background - look just above his left shoulder it then moves to the right behind that rise.

Why do you get a hollow sound when digging with your shovel?

What kind of strategy do you suggest for relic hunting after finding a silver coin from the 1800's by chance 2 feet down?

[@eddominates]

keep digging

[@sallyann1363]

Chigg, Coming from a long line of farmers, I have to disagree with you on the honey hole. Before commercial fertilizer, or before it was affordable, farmers used dried manure from chickens, cattle, horses, or some other animal. In living and working in the third world (pc - developing countries) I found that many farmers use human excrement, or piped from a sewer line. The caused the fruits and vegetables needing to be cleansed with bleach or other chemicals to reduce the risk of getting parasites, which would make you very sick. This still goes on in many countries.

[@babyrazor6887]

Chigg you ain't been home in days, wife lock you out?

[@shonettehathaway373]

Thank for the laugh u are so funny I could not stop laughing about the 2 penny's I do learn a lot from u I have a old old home in wv that's need metal detecting it go's back in the 17th hundreds

[@thurin84]

well, seeing all the derelict cars i understand all the pull tabs.

[@davidhigginbotham9042]

The outhouse thing is wrong. They didn't have rows of outhouses. They just dug another hole and lifted the old outhouse up and moved it over to the new hole and used the dirt from that new hole to fill the old hole. I remember that from my youth. Four or five uncles, sons and cousins had no trouble helping with it. On top of that, I distinctly remember accidently dropping things down the whole, like little metal cars or even coins. I remember my oldest brother rolling Georgia red clay into marbles and baking them in the sun on top of the corrugated tin roof of the Johnny House. No doubt some archaeologist will someday excavate them and think they were antebellum entertainment for poor unfortunate children. Our little brother Johnny was probably traumatized a little bit whenever we called it by that name. My grandmother named her outhouse "Miss Noblet" after a girlfriend she knew when she lived in the city. When strangers were visiting we called it Twin Pines. The grownups would occasionally ask us kids if we needed to visit Twin Pines.

[@KMBlaster]

"Privy" not an outhouse LOL. My family always refereed to them as "The Privy", we had a 3 seater and a 2 seater.

i found my 1st gold this year, 3.3 gram 14k gold ring. then 10 feet away i find another ring, it was a 14k electro plated ring. the funny thing about that, i was there looking for a lost ring for my grandmother and neither of those were her ring. it must be the land of lost rings because i know there is atleast a 3rd ring there.
