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!

[@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!” 💕😂👍🏻🤣💕

[@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!👍

[@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!

[@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.

[@JapanTreasureHunters1]

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

[@tiny57521]

love the history of your digs

[@annetteamerine6055]

Thanks for the interesting tidbits of history.💕

[@gloriajoseph7031]

Thanks for the great videos.

[@MrBruinman86]

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

[@rossdtool]

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

[@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.

[@anncece7767]

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

[@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.

[@micheleaustin8328]

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

[@lynnhiggins7340]

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

[@burymedeep-be7dm]

Honeydippers. I feel much better going to work tomorrow

[@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

[@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

[@buicklesabre8530]

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

[@lynneperg6853]

Thanks for the video Chigg.

[@TreasureByMeasure]

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

[@stevenleeengland-henson2656]

Cool video always enjoying watching from over here in England 😁

[@andrewmoss1187]

Hey Chig have a great next hunt!

[@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

[@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.

[@WayneTheSeine]

I would live there.

[@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.

[@randlerichardson5826]

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

[@1894Outdoors]

Love the videos Chigg I always learn a lot!

[@leannkennedy6568]

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

[@sibylcook2755]

Great video!

[@ellengallerani9836]

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

[@marygarner5249]

Ps love when you talk l learn a lot😉😉😉😉

[@sibylcook2755]

Very interesting.

[@timetraveler8169]

Great information!!!!

[@demonrathunter]

New Sub and I am glad to have found you !

[@rogerdempsey7227]

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

[@marygarner5249]

Hi Chigg Hi Tod you guys are both Awsome 😉

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Mary Garner thanks!

[@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

[@getin3949]

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

[@deathrattle1000]

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

[@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!!

[@danielbrumbaugh9845]

Thanks for the laugh. At least I’m not the only one.

[@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

[@SWWisconsinMetalDetecting]

👍Really Enjoyed the video👍

[@lisapino6739]

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

[@aropals672]

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

[@legendairy8483]

Am I the only one getting that warm Bob Ross vibe from Chigg..?

[@larrywilson5017]

Lotta miles on that Max!

[@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.

[@fredruhman9604]

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

[@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

[@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

[@aropals672]

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

[@dragonflydigs658]

Cool old cars! Did you get the Chiggmobile that you liked in the video a few weeks ago! That place sure looked promising! ATB Chigg! HH🎧⛏

[@suettheartistickamillion9996]

wow clean shaved chig. looks nice

[@moreorless25]

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

[@dianeclarke3112]

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

[@dogdrools]

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

[@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... 👍😎🦘🐾

[@raynin]

Aahahahaha....Chigg had a moment.

[@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?

[@44towman]

Funny you should mention Dusk to Dawn I just watched the movie again on DVD the other day. lol

[@Hunter-ym2kk]

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

[@jeremynagel9427]

Haha you found the wheats twice lol

[@victoriajean586]

Dearest frost, thank you. Lol

[@victoriajean586]

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

[@TxnBBQ75]

The crunchies are the baby bones! Hope not!

[@Erock9201]

Howdy from Maine . Dose rechargeable Battery's work in your metal detector and pin pointer ? Happy Hunting.

[@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.

[@jjfjeff]

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

[@starraustin9363]

I learned a lot about out houses

[@aquachigger]

Happy to hear that.

[@KMBlaster]

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

[@dalesworld1308]

Do you buy those probes or make them out of automobile hood props?

[@Nostrathomas85]

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.

Someone should put some markers for the children that were buried there!😢better luck next time!

[@scottt8424]

And by the way see if you can get in touch with the owner there and save those cars even if you don't want them for yourself Byam off the guy fix him a little bit and then resale that way you could make yourself a little money and you be doing good you be saving those old vehicles

Leann Kennedy Chigg doesn’t want me to post my email on his videos due to his security settings. It captures it. I will send it to one of your comments in my video. I need to check my “About” tab on my channel and make sure it to there. Believe it or not I’ve been to their place in Iowa....real cool there

There was a W.F. Young who was the inventor of Absorbine Jr. Made in Springfield Massachusetts. Not sure if that's part of a Bottle cap.

25:01 looks like the screw on holder from some kind of badge, maybe military.

[@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.

[@babyrazor6887]

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

[@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.

[@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.
