Metal Detecting Colonial Artifacts

[@TomFromMN]

You often tell us we don't need a metal detector to find great artifacts. The spearhead would make most people's day. Great adventure.

[@JustYaeWendt]

Today my husband and I decided to test out the metal detector my Dad bought but didn't ever get a chance to use before he got called home coming up on a year now. Using the Bounty Hunter SharpShooter II we found our first relics here on our homestead. First a rusted vintage Clauss 8" spring loaded straight blade pruner, a double sided clasp or sorts and a bullet! It was so exciting and entertaining. I kept saying "do you see it....doooo yaaaa" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@IFIXCASTLES]

I also have SS 2. It's a great machine!

[@JustYaeWendt]

@@PabloDiablo682 I understand how that goes same here in southern Oklahoma.

[@overheardatthepub1238]

I certainly hope you held your breath. Not holding your breath is a known cause of not finding treasure.

[@kennethnootbaar8297]

My son and I love medal detecting. Now he moved to NY and I gave him the medal detector 2 years ago . Every time he goes out to look for stuff he sends me what he found .. He and I watch you every day and really enjoy .

[@patriciadunn6602]

Your never boring..anything but,I could watch you dig for hours and not find anything..its all fun..Thanks for letting us all go along with you,very interesting talks...great teacher

[@dougalexander7204]

The man is a legend. Chigg needs Ford to sponsor him with new rigs to pressure test on his outings. As well as, Mokai Kayak should do the same for his boats. And so on and so forth. We all love the Chigg and need him to keep doing what he does. Furthermore, hope his treasure awaits him. Best of luck.

[@Cloxxki]

Forget Ford. Rivian.

[@dougalexander7204]

Cloxxki: I drive a 4x4 Silverado, 509 fpt, diesel myself. But thought Chigg’s green truck was a Ford and maybe he liked it. I’d drive a Studebaker if’n it was free. Chigg is an example of a life well lived isn’t he?

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Ford has dropped the ball here in Australia. People are buying Chinese vehicles. Not me BTW.

[@markcarson1844]

Excellent as always chigg, helping me through my cancer treatment's!

[@TheReubenCook]

Thank you Beau, your videos are super interesting! I appreciate all the effort you put into them

[@jynxgoxoom]

Your fence pole cap is actually a model T rad cap. Loving these long videos. I always learn something new watching you.

[@micheleaustin8328]

Enjoy your metal detecting video hunts much!! Glad to see your back exploring once again!! Awesome!!👍⚔🏹🔩🔧🔗⛓⛏⚒🗝💲👍💱💱💱😊

[@donnabroussard4548]

You DRIVE SAFE, We’ll be right here waiting!

[@gregorybarr6112]

Thank you very much for taking us along with you on this adventure. We are looking forward to your next video! Happy hunting!

[@TomFromMN]

One of my favorite adventures, especially the point. This isn't the first time we've seen you set something down while you continue to search. Of course, we are sure you're going to lose or forget "whatever". You haven't failed us yet, Beau, but you know we'll be watching!

[@altonriggs2352]

Your videos are never boring.

[@trailtl5543]

Looking forward to seeing that BIG treasure you've waited 3 years for! It's going to be HUGE!!!

[@aprilcarey8434]

Did you find the video he was referring to?

[@floydstreet3991]

I want to see it also !!!!!!!!!

[@gunnersmate623]

Hey Chigg...simply said...You rock buddy!

[@lindasnyder313]

Aw shucks, Chigg, you never went back to the "chest". Of course I'm sure the farmer didn't want his corn messed up but I sure would like to know what is in it. Thank you for sharing your life with us and showing us things we probably wouldn't ever see!

[@johnlawrence9957]

Wondering that myself.

[@onetrujohnny7451]

just binged the first five episodes of river hunters. loved it.

[@lisafarr2317]

Great vid. Nice 2 see the sun out and great little relics.

[@alexsprings87]

My guess is a cannon!!! Love the video, as always. You have inspired me to start hunting a few rivers near me. Found nothing earth shattering yet, but always have a blast! It is my tradition to watch one of your videos before i go hunting now!

[@MrKmoconne]

I hope it's Chiggs cannon. If it has any amount of size to it, he may have to bring in outside help to move it and the cat will be out of the bag.

[@missjamie4243]

My guess is a cannon as well. I hope it is and he finds it!

[@TowGuyUSA]

The chigg man I've been watching you for years love the vids. 👍

[@louisetyson8286]

Bless your Heart! Even through all that hard work....you keep us entertained....just keep up all that Awesomeness.....! My Baby girl & I .....LOVE YOU for it! Makes us ...HAPPY! XOXOXOXO

[@yahwehskid4819]

Can't wait till you post what you drove so far for hope it's awesome!

[@susanhamilton1922]

Enjoyed going on the hunt....nice finds....👍👍👍👍

[@randlerichardson5826]

Jaws harp is what I’ve always known them as Chigger. Great video buddy. That’s a awesome farm for sure. A awesome video. I like the longer videos let’s me hear the sounds the detector makes on diff metals. GOD BLESS.

[@massannihilation2443]

Jaw harp, Jews harp, juice harp all names I've heard it called

[@VickieV1333]

I absolutely love these adventures!!

[@chrisjordan4574]

Nice finds! Enjoy your enthusiasm and energy! Hope you find the treasure Monday!!!👍👍👍

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

It made me feel really good last night when I got a notification saying I had a new subscriber and it turned out to be auqachigger, Thanks Chigg, BE SAFE OUT THERE!!!

[@davidjeffrey8204]

very cool hunt, the swamp and snakes were cool. Thanks

[@SmallWonda]

Lots of interesting things, Chigg, thank you - and I know how those niggling things niggle - eventually you have to check 'em out. DO SO HOPE it''s worth it - or least you get a good story out of it! Safe travels & watch for those snakes! 👍💍🐾🍺😉🏆

[@VeXis101]

Loving your channel so much! It’s moved up to my favorite

[@oldgoat7856]

Good luck, hope for find your treasure

[@OldButStillKicking]

Glad you're on the lookout for snakes as well as artifacts!

[@DutchboyAdventures]

I bet its a Cannon!!!!!!!!????? Cant wait to see you find it!

[@floydstreet3991]

that is what im hoping he finds, or the confedrate gold payroll that left Richmond, at the end of war.Last account of it was on train headed southwest.

[@electricwheels411]

Awesome adventure Chigg and loads of finds coming up from that site. Nice that you could camp out there for the night and something I am looking to do myself on some of my Permissions here in the UK. Keep on working those awesome videos Brother ATB GL & HH LittleJohn_MD 🇬🇧

[@rogerdempsey7227]

that's a looooooog , that's a long video Chigg I enjoyed it can't wait till you get that other place buying a great treasure stay blessed stay safe I'll see you on the next one

[@caspermetaldetecting-donde3374]

Nice assortment - USE THOSE GLOVES - lol - continued good luck!

[@kentuckyfriedjoe7370]

Lol! The three week thing gets me too...😂

[@IffySignals]

Great hunt Chigger 👍

[@stringtwister7654]

Great videos chig, hoping you find something great!! Good luck buddy

[@Joe..3.8.0.9_]

Mr Rodgers of nature lol Joe ...

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Model T FORD radiator cap

[@ShumiKat]

Looks like it

[@183charlesspiva]

Some tractors had the same for front wheel bearing cover.

[@annbungay1247]

Great vid Mr Chigg. Always fascinating and very interesting. Watching from England.

[@yomangull2538]

That was quite an adventure. Good thing you don't have my luck crossing that bridge...splash! For some reason that river story sounds familiar to me from a few years back. When you said the finder struggled to retrieve it, I knew what you were talking about....I think.

[@2A4U.S.A]

Next Chigg T-Shirt, ft-side I've had 2 cups of Coffee this morning, bk-side READY TO ROLL!

[@aaaaatttttt7383]

I started wacthing you ever since you came out in a meme with your knife collection😂😂 been hooked on your videos ever since man

[@randlerichardson5826]

Be safe Chigger my prayers are with you buddy GOD BLESS Amen.

[@danielhoffman8834]

Another good one keep them coming👍👍👍👍

[@davidedwards2868]

Thank you 👍👍.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for sharing. Very interesting. Enjoyed the video.

[@rickyaderholt4119]

These have been the best videos ever

[@fuoridalsentiero]

Awesome footage, we found it really interesting 👍  Thanks for sharing. We follow you with great interest and pleasure 😊

[@aquachigger]

Thanks, glad to see you here.

[@TheRabidfan]

That zoomed in one was a rat snake, the other two were watersnakes, the first one was a moccasin

[@TomFromMN]

Still love the longer videos, Beau. Another that I enjoyed. And now I have to find out if the trip paid off. You keep me going!

[@advenzures]

Great adventure, thank you for sharing. Happy Hunting Everyone.

[@N.I-Detecting]

Cool adventure, that wooden bridge was dodgy especially around the middle but when you get that far you just have to keep going, no turning back :) Safe driving and good luck on finding your mates lost item👍

[@cynthiafranco4313]

enjoyed your video u can learn alot watching the video'sfrom watching everyone digging in the dirt

[@comic_book_emporium]

Love the longer videos!

[@Hotdog_pimpin]

I enjoy watching theese videos. While on the toilet. Good way to pass time

[@johnlawrence9957]

Wow! You sit on the toilet longer than I do! 😀😀😁😂😂 I usually play solitaire!

[@jamesbeen9904]

Good luck on that lead Chigg!

[@billy_in_4c]

59 minutes long. Now that's more like it! We don't want any more of those short 41 minute videos like you gave us yesterday.

[@BoshiYoshi]

So I wonder if that story he told at the very end panned out. He said he was going to know by the next day whether it was true or not. We never saw a follow up video about it one way or another.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Thank you for sharing these longer videos I have really enjoyed watching them... I be praying for you as you travel I know how the travel days can be long and sore on the body. I did my share of rambling across this great country of ours for many years and still would be if I could physically travel. But soon the day will come when I can pack up my Can-Am Spyder and hit the road again but only ride 100 to 150 miles a day. I'm just to old to ride more than that in a day... When you said you were going to drive 10 hours, I said to myself, "Self when you were younger you could do the same"... LOL... Well safe travels my young friend, I pray that God will bless you in many ways every day... BBE

[@zetpeniakoff4125]

Old barns sometimes had a rail with a block and tackle to get stuff to the upper level.

[@ohioartifactdude5658]

The arrow head is a Dickson type late Archaic to Early Adena culture 3000-1300 years old. May have been a spear tip but more likely a knife.

[@andrewmccormack605]

Great video as usual. Was hoping you would get the chance to go back to the box you couldn't get at from the first video in this series in the planted field.

[@josephkerley363]

Your curved little brass things I'm willing to say they are pieces of old drawer pulls. Keep'em coming.

[@squarenailsquirrel9638]

This adventure was awesome but man.... I can't wait for what happens at the hunt that's a 10-11 hour drive away. Thanks for sharing... great video.

[@richardperkins6132]

Great video chigg. That's the way I prefer to spend my time detecting. Spending all day just going back in time weather with a friend or by myself just searching the whole property taking my time walking around an just taking it all in. Going back in time. That it self is so relaxing just listening to the detector an wondering what I'll be digging up next. Something very old an rare, that will tell a great story or just a piece of junk that will tell why they threw it away. Either way it's so much fun an exciting to be out hunting for the next treasure/relic to be dug up. Treasure or junk I love it all. As always safe an happy hunting. Another great video from a few years ago.😁👍👍

[@catreinhart9465]

Good hunt but that snake pit was out of a nightmare 😱

[@WayneTheSeine]

Best be careful Chig.... you treading on dangerous ground. "Black water Hattie lived back in the swamp Where the strange green reptiles crawl Snakes hang thick from the cypress trees Like sausage on a smokehouse wall Where the swamp is alive with a thousand eyes An' all of them watching you Stay off the track to Hattie's Shack in the back of the Black Bayou"

[@studavies1967]

Fantastic video, hope you come back to the UK soon

[@roberthypes6149]

Thanks for the great video.

[@DigginWithDeej]

Entertaining adventure. Tons of buttons

[@brittany5328]

Did anybody notice when he was talking about the truck he said "that's where the luck is ladies" 😂😂! Love your videos mr chigg! Please come to Illinois! We got lots of farm land to search!

[@loa81]

Does that embarrassing story find qualify as a double find?! Thanks for the beautiful day, with the birds singing, snakes, beaver, cypress knees, and stories. I’d like to see the coin and buttons, etc. when they are cleaned up... Gotta find that next vid...good night!

[@robertklauka6275]

That funny looking brass thing was the melted remains of a hose end for spraying water.

[@dustin8421]

Aww cmon chigg you didnt wanna hug the snakes? Lol awesome vid dude... to bad you didnt find gold coins... you might get em next time

[@2golddetecting]

3 years later. Watching some of your older videos. Wondering about your shovel? Home made? Or a purchase?

[@ericmurphy8789]

The reason i watched this video ( besides it was a chigg vidja) was because pf the length the time. Sometimes i enjoy watching the hour long videos especially when im snoozing and listening.

[@randlerichardson5826]

That’s a great spear point Chigger. They’re worth quiet a bit in certain places to certain people.

[@johnbender5356]

Your shoehorn was a part of a stand that cobblers used to make shoes

[@dianajusselin3298]

My first time seeing your video. I really enjoyed the adventure which you brought us on many things you found. Your funny story was pretty funny. I’m really glad that you did find it again🤭😂⚒💰🥰

[@scottroberts3801]

Looks like a fun hunt, even if there weren't many good relics. At least the digging was easy in that sandy soil. Intrigued about the three year old story.

[@kathywolstenholme693]

Love your videos Chigg

[@maytagmark2171]

The point looks to be a Morrow Mountain type II contracting stem point. Nice catch.

[@MacSqueeky]

Flat button finds make the detecting world go round.

[@davidmorris4826]

Git on your bike and ride!

[@OutdoorsygalO]

Looks like your interesting metal things might be drawer pulls? Or tractor parts. Also...the round threaded thing is probably a wheel centre, the place where you can grease it? Good eye with that arrowhead. Wow. How cool. I only dream of finding one of those. That sandy soil would be amazing for finding morels maybe on the field edges and in the bush? Watching you cross that dock, I kept thinking.....is he gonna get a soaker? Yikes! 😉

[@ChristopherHayniedd980]

Chigg that bridge is so sketchy.🤣 Good luck.

[@Rutang835]

Hey chigg, have you made or would consider making a video about all the gear you use and just general tips about getting into metal detecting?

[@dawnlindgron5570]

Good luck on your new hunt

[@knothead5217]

Sounds like Mr. Chig my have finally found that elusive cannon.

[@JohnDoe-vq8bg]

Great adventures, best regards.

[@UrbanDKaye]

The thin brass you found in 2 parts does look like part of the movement from a pocket watch.

[@christineingram55]

I have thoroughly enjoyed this ..nice to have a walk around and find treasures with you..bit scary on the bridge ..I don’t do heights or bridges with no railings it the fear of what’s under the depth below..only fear I have lol 😀

[@hiredgun7186]

1:20 , probably a flue handle for a fireplace we had one like it in our old family farmhouse

[@janvafa4253]

With all the snakes you saw in that one area I think that wall might be a winter den for the snakes!

[@AquaLandRelics]

Good video Chig !

[@olneymaryland77]

2 cups of coffee this morning!! Lol chig you the best!

[@salvadordali1601]

The plug got turned up by a flood, wow!

[@James-lj7rm]

Darn dove hunters and their brass!!
