Metal Detecting: Come See The Elephant

Another metal detecting adventure with Mike of Gr8Finds. Today, we explore the river in search of relics, coins, jewelry, and other treasures. We first explore a new section of this clear river and then return to the old stone bridge. It was a great detection!
As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
About Aquachigger:
I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of outdoor adventure, metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed. I keep my KZbin "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
I hope to see you guys out there!

Great watching your videos. I have more time while recouping from foot surgery, found even more time since I saved two deer, but not the truck. What a year, however love the videos.

[@TomFromMN]

Time to get my beverage, relax, and enjoy another adventure on the river.

[@Fulthrotle73]

Great idea friend!

[@48thstateprospecting]

Yes I enjoyed the video (more than you enjoyed making it I think…) it’s not always easy being a content creator some days it’s all civil war relics and fun but most days it just tireless work trying to eek out some finds but I know you can’t have one with plenty of the the others so I appreciate every minute you post no matter how insignificant the finds. Great job beau your a legend my friend thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

[@richardwarnock2789]

9:08 Beau right of your face eye level enlarge the white branches in middle circle there's a face Could be samquinch or like in the service camo face!? 😮

[@johngibbs8345]

The tangled flat copper with a buckle is an earthing strap. Keep on digging Chig 👍👍👍

[@AnotherMN_Fan]

The strange stuff you guys can identify! ...lol Chigglopedia at work!

[@henrybucki7813]

mike is a good match for your videos enjoy watching you both good team

[@davestelling]

And Mike's got a very good channel, too...

[@gr8finds196]

Thanks Henry

[@gr8finds196]

​@@davestellinghi and thanks😊

[@cameronswann4648]

That weird lid thing you found is a bottom valve cap from a tuba

[@laureng6412]

That is bizzare, I wonder how it got there

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

I always love your awesome adventure either on land/river

[@stevebroadway3713]

Thanks for shareing! Enjoyed watching.

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

Dito

[@brianforman6093]

At least you get some excercize and fresh air, good job

[@earlt.7573]

That brass valve at 8:15 is the same type used on Model T Fords, there are 2 on the back of the engine oil pan, and 1 on the bottom of the radiator. That old Model T stuff is scattered around everywhere.

[@dirtfloormotors]

Yes, they typically had an "A" on them while the ones marked "BB" were used on Model A cooling system drain.

[@earlt.7573]

@@dirtfloormotors Yeah, the Model A had the valve on the metal tube that went from the side of the block to the radiator bottom.

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

GREAT as always.

[@Joel-ym3ij]

3:30 looks like a large valve cap to a brass instrument. Resembles a trumpet valve cap.. but this one is much bigger.

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Chiggs it is not easy walking in current and swinging in the water. Not the finds you and Mike were hoping, but still fun finds.👍👏😀

[@rickyb2200]

Thanks Chigg at least you didn't get skunked , ( 1 musket ball). That old general store site would be interesting to detect.

[@donbowersock9564]

I like it when you Mike along, double finds.

[@rapiddog1491]

Nice to see a relatively clean environment!

[@Robin-py5jx]

Un🦨ed again 😅. Thanks for another fun adventure Chiggy!!!🐱🐶🐈🐕😻

[@notanotherbottletop9892]

Thanks Chigg and Mike....Best Martin.

[@MikeMikewaz]

That spark plug is pretty cool. I would clean it up and make a key chain out of it.

[@RickRahrig]

I know you prefer hunting alone but it`s good seeing Mike hunting along side of you also.

[@uhfnutbar1]

Every once and awhile you have to show the kids ,there history in the rivers and streams :)

[@CC58]

In the 1800s it was a common saying " I saw the elephant " to describe a once in a lifetime adventure.

[@aquachigger]

Also to see combat in the Army.

[@davestelling]

Colonial knee buckle? Very cool. It's good to see Mike back hunting with you again...

[@LaLadybug2011]

That old paddle would make a good snake killer!

[@laureng6412]

That made me laugh

[@lenoraeaton]

.Looks like a 🐘to me!! Thanks Chigg!👍

[@mzimm460]

the aluminum thing with the wires. Maybe the top of a old fence charger?

[@oleradiodudea.m.4735]

It was the elephant in the river. Now it will be the elephant in the room!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Chigg and Mike hey

[@muaaag3]

I really love your videos, your channel, so many broad topics interesting and showing your awesome personality ^_^

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

That elephant has seen better days, chigg

[@aquachigger]

Looks kinda like I felt after my most recent river expedition.

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

@@aquachigger yea, even though it seemed ok, so idk if someone threw it in the river, and it broke, or just found it like that

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

10:12 Uh-oh, Dr. Chigg is ready to operate!!!!!

[@jandavis1523]

3:18 - backing plate for a side view mirror

[@waltradcliffe4482]

That is what I was thinking too, old manual remote control

[@johnbrown8059]

I was waiting for you to find a treasure map that showed, "When you come to a fork in the river... keep your eyes open for another fork in the river and the treasure will be close!"

[@keepdigginmetaldetecting]

Fun hunt. Thanks!

[@jmkfromtheuk]

Hi Chig, on the bottle, in the UK there's 20 fluid ounces to the pint, so 10 fl oz would be half a pint, but I don't recall anything being stamped 10 fl oz while I was growing up, it was either a pint, or a half pint.👌

[@aquachigger]

Thanks for the info.

[@hamshackleton]

@ 8.11, piece of brass - looks like a domestic gas valve/tap, for turning gaslamps off or on. - - - 10.17. so you finally took my suggestion, and repurposed a pair of artery forceps! (does Lindsay know?) - - -

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

the copper lid looks very much lile the the cap on the end of a bicycle pump

[@aquachigger]

It does now that you mention it. Thanks

[@antiquarian3942]

The ceramic elephant is likely a votive offering. 🤔 - Dave

[@AnotherMN_Fan]

Show Time!

[@fixerdj1]

The item you're looking at about 6 minutes 30 seconds in looks like the back of a temperature control or thermostat off of a refrigerator or old window Air conditioner.

[@feelslikefar50]

Scale weight or a tavern shuffleboard "puck"?

[@leannkennedy6568]

Howdy

[@aquachigger]

Howdy. That was close!

[@leannkennedy6568]

@aquachigger lol I was on my game today. We'll see what the next one brings. Have a great week. I hope you find your dream find!

Elephant by bridge would be religious offering

[@oldbamadirt2148]

I Just Keep Diging It.

[@Fulthrotle73]

Is it hoooman!?

[@ericfairchild5431]

That copper lid thing at 3:26 looks like the base to a light socket on an old lamp?

[@mzimm460]

Hey i have a camp on the west branch of the susquhanna not spelled right. Its on the locks where there was a damn and a creek all the barges full of supplies used to hold up their. I want you to go over it. Oh and a hotel where they all stayed

[@Scotty2hotty-69]

Idk why but when I was a kid in the 90s my dad had 2 porcelain elephants like that and I would play with them occasionally. One was orange with blue accents I don't remember the colors of the others
