Metal Detecting And Exploring An Abandoned Historic 1800's Tavern And Hotel

[@jalspach9215]

Dude! Chigg! Dude! Aside from animal scat-borne diseases, crawl space soils under old buildings are usually loaded with lead & arsenic precipitating down over the years from deteriorating paint, wood preservatives, & even Victorian wallpaper. PPE's man! I'm a carpenter/hazmat guy. Luv ya!

[@mikehunt8375]

Ah, it's good for yah! People have forgotten how to be a man.... I mean come on! He looks fine to me and I guarantee you its not his first time doing it... I'm 50 something years old and healthy as an ox , been doing shit like that my hole life! I can't get sick because my immune system is used to shit! You live a life of being a scared bitch and you WILL get sick!

[@getin3949]

I think of that every time he does this and his wife probably won't watch his videos so she doesn't have to witness what he's doing. I couldn't stand knowing what he does if he was MY husband. But I guess you can't be cautious of everything in life, sometimes you just have to jump in and that's what Beau does. His bandaged fingers are proof of this. Start counting his band aids even though he keeps telling US to wear gloves. I have to laugh and take him with a large grain of salt. (O:

@@mikehunt8375 As far as I know, your immune system isn't shit when you breathe in literal poisons.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Ask Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures what those places can do to healthy lungs. I think Sir Chigg just feels it’s worth the risk for the adventure.

[@jimjustice581]

Maybe he’ll listen to you. I’m sure he just skips over my reminders to wear a mask.

[@urbantreasurehunter4447]

Aquachigger!! I’ve been watching your videos for years. You’ve inspired me to create my own treasure hunting channel to share my experiences and finds with the world! Any support, tips, and criticism from you and your fans would be huge! Much love - Sam

[@dragonflydigs658]

Hey Chigg, you should always carry masks cause if there’s a hole you know your gonna climb in it 👍🏻

[@TomFromMN]

Another great, long Aquachigger Adventure that I was able to watch again, as it takes me a tad longer to absorb all the knowledge at you share. No one does this better than you, Professor. Thanks, Beau.

[@bearhardcorepicker]

Time to start wearing a mask, Chigg.... I have developed a type of asthma from the dust I have inhaled over the 30 years worth of attics and basements I have picked......despite having worn a respirator part of the time....but not all the time like I should have. Fibreglass pink insulation gets me the worst now....end up feeling like I want to cough my lungs right out.

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Man Chigg , you are determined to try and find artifacts. No way I would go under that place ✌️

[@SharebuttonStyle]

Mr Chigg, Please keep a pack of disposable face masks N95 or P2 filters in your truck, you never know when you will need them. Sure beats trying to "HOLD YOUR BREATH". Love the channel and the Vids.

[@kuhndog63]

I was born and raised in a holler outside of Beckley now I live in NC, I enjoy your vids and as a fellow West Virginian I am happy for your success in doing something you love.

[@jasonmiller8061]

Beau and Todd's excellent adventure

[@canaan5337]

"Wild Stallions" both of them playing air guitar.

[@AdamosDad]

I hope that such a cool old property gets restored.

[@mikejordan9220]

I'm only speaking for myself of course but I enjoy when you investigate a property like the well or under the house or even digging a survey hole. It is just a bonus when you find a squeaker. I know that is what you want but I really enjoy the history of a site and any very old object even if it is iron.

[@tas3059]

The chig will crawl where no man has crawled before love it man!

[@billlloyd548]

Thank you for an awesome adventure!

[@AgateDad]

Cool info on the property!

[@annetteh110]

The tool you found is a ceramic pottery cleaning tool. Used to clean off seams and make decoration in the clay surface. Quite modern.

[@billm672]

Was just about to say that, clay sculpting tool. We had tools in my pottery class like that. They were double ended, other end had a curved blade on it.

[@reginaromsey]

I like the way you aren’t squeamish about wiggling under floors and things to see what is there. Adventurous! “Ahhh!! Spiders!”

[@nicholasrourke3836]

How did I miss this one. Glad I got some extra time I can catch up. You're vids are always fun to watch as I want to start metal detecting myself so I figure I'll learn from watching you. So thank for you're vids.

[@tracythorn2918]

I had sympathy coughs while watching you under the building. Love your enthusiasm and determination!

[@markholbrook3949]

Todd no doubt had the find of the day.. That was a very cool pin... Way to go Todd...

[@tjjennings5585]

That’s the funniest looking mercury dime I’ve ever seen chig🤣

[@Mudring76]

Resembles a Roosevelt dime a lot😏

[@mankness]

Mercury had wings ciipped at the barber shop before posing for that coin... no biggie.

[@thurin84]

it identifies as a mercury dime. who are you to question that lol.

Time for the chigg again! Love your channel chigg.. you inspired me to record my own detecting and youtube channel.. dont ever stop😁🍻

[@michaeldavis8249]

Sir I love watching your videos how was injured in 2014 where I lost use of my legs i use to love metal detecting and exploring all kinds of things and places watching your videos helps me so much

[@feellucky271]

Nothing wrong with living somewhat vicariously thru AquaChigger I don't guess. He sure is a smart and easy going guy.His adventures are easy to watch and almost always enjoyable to see yeah? I llost my left leg and my right is paralyzed from the knee down.I have a prosthetic but usually use crutches now Mike as 20 plus years of using the prosthetic has bunged up my hips and right knee pretty good. My best to you brother and keep your chin up yeah? From this Mike to you I just wanted to say hello. Peace

[@lynneperg6853]

Your optimism is wonderful.

[@markbeatty17]

You should probably mention to people that if there is a propane tank in the yard there's going to be a copper line running to the house from the tank I almost chopped one of those into 1 time

[@AussieBeachHunters]

That was an awesome adventure! Thank you

[@normagrimstad8869]

That’s a Roosevelt dime!

[@OutdoorsygalO]

Were you being bossy? LOL! No... 😁 Beau - you are brave going under that house and breathing in that dust. Stay safe! 😷

[@christopherkazimer1929]

Go easy on Todd. He's a sensitive soul.

[@Len1977gt]

[@TastyBadger]

Todd has proven to be an asshole

[@johnharris7353]

Interesting, also something about the east is so beautiful! I like the flint the best, but I like horseshoes too. I'm amazed that the native timber beams under and supporting the structure are in such good condition!

[@dougalexander7204]

A “most unpleasant experience” under the house. I’ve read about these things called masks and gloves. IDK. You sir are hard core...

[@grantwise6249]

When I was in high school we used that pointy tool thing for ceramics. Cutting and shaping clay. So you were right about it being for artwork

[@Unclebub34]

Never know till you swing. Great looking old place and being on the road, I would agree, been hunted a ton.

[@chrisjordan4574]

Thanks Chigg and company! You’re right , that place has surely been hit hard !!!! Don’t forget a magnet 🧲 to drop in that well in case you find something 🙂

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

[@Biggestchaph]

Hey, there is a school in New England that is next to a church that was founded by Jesse Remington. His Grave is in a small graveyard next to the redone church. Would you be interested in coming to see if you can find anything near this cite? There is also an old colonial schoolhouse in the yard in front of the cemetery. Thanks!

[@jasonlemon4491]

I live in SLC ut and not much medal detecting here!! I love watching all your adventuress! I am a subscriber! Love the song at the end!

[@ronhawks7199]

That native American artifact look.s like a scraper point prob. Broke and reused it into a scraper..nice find

[@scotmhead]

I thought civil war era scalpel when I saw that knife and heard you mention field hospital, but the straight edge looks more modern.

[@desertfoxx1823]

Everytime you enter those crawl spaces or old house and stir up whatever I worry what you're breathing in. Wish you would carry some protection with you.

[@allanwilkerson6426]

That electrical piece at 11:30 looks like the splice of two wires. Looks like 2 wires put together with a wire-nut and then wrapped with electrical tape to seal out moisture. A lot of times they were used for underground wiring, although this may or may not be approvedl for that use...depending on the materials involved.

[@getin3949]

Sometimes when landscaping companies bring fill in they bring in aluminum cans, etc in with the fill. Not all companies do this but some aren't on the level and bring in "dirty" fill. The previous owner may have had fill brought in and that could be why you're finding so many cans. I can't imagine anyone being blind enough to hit an aluminum can with a lawn mower.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

That electric cable sure wasn’t buried very deep. I started crawling under houses and porches and…half flooded culverts…when I was just single digits. It’s always an adventure, even if you don’t find anything.

10:06 Washable Crayola marker. Grandkids probably dropped it through the cracks. Surprisingly, it appears the cap is still attached. Usually the cap is missing and the marker is all dried up.

[@TomFromMN]

Will I ever learn to recognize the different beeps or chirps? I just have to depend on you to tell us what they mean. How much do the detector sounds vary between the different coils and/or machines? I always love your enthusiasm and optimism.

[@russbonk1372]

I have become claustrophobic in my older years. Did 36 years in hazmat- tank jobs, confined spaces, etc. BUT!! No more. CHIGG!! You're giving me anxiety crawling into that hole in foundation! STOP IT!! HAHA!!

[@samconroyy]

Crazy that you can one day wake up claustrophobic, even after a career like yours.

You're brave going under the house, ooh I couldn't do that. Hope your chest is good now. Love you're vids. Lynn from Worcestershire in England ❤️💋

[@f.k.burnham8491]

If it was a field hospital, the ground needs to have a go-over with Ground Penetrating Radar. There is an extremely high chance that there is a burial pit on the place where the amputated limbs were dumped.

Why would he want to find that or anyone for that matter.

Nice adventure today Chigg. Too bad there wasn't much in the way of historical relics, but still it was a nice place. Please protect you lungs with a mask when going under those old dusty houses. It will save you the coffin fit/coughing fit. You couldn't have got me in such a tight place for love nor money, especially if it smells. Too easy a gag reflex for me, and tight places give me the heebie- jeebies. Thanks for sharing and better luck next time, at least you found some silver, even if it was a rosy. Stay warm, stay healthy, and have a great day!

That’s a massive house! A blacksmith could explain all the horseshoes. And you need a mask if you’re gonna be crawling up under old houses. I first said I’d have spent all my time out in the field but yeah, people must’ve already hit it all.
