Metal Detecting : Crystal Clear River Treasure

[@aquachigger]

This was a great adventure from a couple of days ago. The river is 18 feet higher today at this spot. It's a good thing I'm not still digging there!

“I only dig with a gloved hand.” Um, yeah, I’ve watched enough of your videos to know that’s a bit of a fib.😂😂😂

[@mikeyd3md]

Dude! I just saw your River Hunter Videos from the BBC. Congrats on being World Renowned!

[@aquachigger]

Hey, thanks!

[@vito336]

I LIKE this format! The closeups are great.

[@TomFromMN]

Thanks for sharing, Beau. I've been around a couple of serious floods so understand the dangers. We all want you to be safe and know you will. You've provided us with years worth of your adventures that are timeless and many I've watched over and over again. Hey! You're almost to 2k! The best.

[@aquachigger]

Thanks so much, Tom! You're the man!

[@TomFromMN]

@@aquachigger Thanks, Beau. Just showing a little appreciation when I can. This is where I prefer to spend my entertainment budget. A much better use of those funds.

[@DavidGallowayTrains]

Really liking you inserting a close up picture of the find in the video when you find the treasure. Thanks for another great video!

[@OldButStillKicking]

Down time, equipment, sustenance (of any sort 😉), gas, & more. Did I remember to include enough to replace vital fluids? No one better at supporting your fans, Beau. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The river was beautiful , and you wasn't skunked so I would say that was a pretty good day on the river, Thanks Chigg.

[@Robin-py5jx]

Gooooo Chiggy-meister!!!!!😁 Thanks for another fun adventure on the river! Glad we made through Debby🌪️💨💦👌.

[@RobbieRayner-tb7ey]

I hope you enjoy it.

[@patriciayoung3682]

Hey Me Chigg I absolute cant wait for your videos to come out/You find some really Incredible stuff/Thanks for taking all of us on this Adventure and May God bless you/Thanks for sharing/

[@TheHaydenator]

3:40 That looks like an arrowhead just left of center where you’re digging

[@PaulWise-ep4lw]

Good evening chig there was acoin next to the round ball you had picked up thanks for the interesting videos please take care many items can still to be found after all these years below the surface thanks again in England

[@droidv1]

I thought it was a coin too but it may have just been a shell. There's a lot of circular shaped shells I kept seeing in the video

[@wixsights2945]

The bedrock was fasinating to look at. Almost looked like bricks.

[@therussianarchaeologist0935]

7:30 is a broken spurr fragment, have found them in a few fort sites here in Florida

[@aquachigger]

Makes sense, thanks.

[@QuestForDetails]

a mithchel Garcia reel , havnt made those since the 60s . my favorites.

[@stevebroadway3713]

Thanks for sharing another adventure! Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@richardklapka5147]

I think you did just fine son. Good job. Rk.

[@davidharrison502]

[@aquachigger]

Thanks

[@AndrexT]

I reckon you did very well Beau.

[@KubotaManDan]

Seeing "River Hunters" in the UK on KZbin, interesting show. That really must be a thrill to find artifacts in rivers from historical battles. Thanks for another cool video!

[@danweiss1371]

First video I’ve caught in a couple years now. Too busy finding my own treasure. Keep moving.

[@oldbamadirt2148]

Not Going To Let It Hide From The Chigg . 😎👍✌

[@wolflink-et2bg]

I’ve watched this man since I was 8 years old I’m 19 Now

[@tommyhall2768]

Hay buddy good luck 😊

[@UrielShlomoGarcia-fi4yu]

It seems you hit Horseshoe heaven Beau!

[@aquachigger]

Lot's of the there for sure.

[@johnstanfield1272]

18' higher? Scary. Muddy for sure. Live the videos as always.

[@Uwannawatch]

Great video as always Chigg! Nice clear water! You got some great finds and had a lot better day than whoever lost that Mitchell!

[@mercedithcompala8148]

The water was so clear, I keep begging my husband for a detector and hit the river....shoot I'd even throw a magnate..😅wish me luck 🙏👋🤯

[@FoulOwl2112]

That brass fragment looks like a piece of a Musket or rifle trigger guard.

[@mwdjr3158]

Congrats!

[@richardwarnock2789]

MOArrrrrrrr!😂 Nice Work Beau

[@randlerichardson5826]

Chigg and whoever else is there hey

[@davidbecker4674]

Great content, love the videos

[@carldeshazer7946]

Hello Chigg, I think the fishing reel is a Mitchel 300, I have several of them.

[@rightleg5920]

Haven’t watched your videos in a while but sad the commentary was so much less. I love just listening to your videos! Finding cool stuff is extra. More talking please!!!!!

[@aquachigger]

Welcome back!

[@geoffreybush9959]

Good video

[@gregkerr725]

You should have kept that anchor for The Hunley....to keep it from drifting off

[@CHAD-RYAN]

How do you lose an anchor that big in that shallow of water

[@aquachigger]

It's 19 feet deep there now. We were in a drought.

[@Stax-ht9md]

That Indian Head Penny was produced from 1859 to 1909. Let's say it was dropped in 1864 toward the end of the Civil War. Here's what that penny could buy.. In 1864, a penny could buy a variety of items, including: Penny candies: A penny could buy a selection of sugary candies, such as bubble gum, licorice, jaw breakers, peppermint sticks, taffy, or lollipops Beer: A quart of beer could be purchased for a penny Coffee: A cup of coffee could be purchased for a penny Gin: A quarter of gin could be purchased for a penny That penny isn't worth as much, but it was a good find.

[@advenzures]

👊🤩👍

[@willykanos1044]

Reel looks like a Mitchell 300.

[@redmephisto3461]

Merci pour cette belle vidéo encore une fois. Quel est le moulinet de pêche trouvé, est-ce un Mitchell, Shakespeare? Penn? autre?

[@davidperry970]

Must have a tuff life as a war horse.

[@randlerichardson5826]

Chigg that old fishing reel is a Mitchell 300 i collect the good ones that are made in France that’s a oldie but goodie

[@aquachigger]

Shame it was so wasted.

[@helenburke9507]

Hi Chigg. A fan here who loves your videos . Yea a lady we like to metal detect too.My question is do you sell any of your finds??? I have a nephew that is a US History buff. He lives in South Africa and I’d love to send him a few pieces of the civil war. You are the expert and share so much of your knowledge with us. Please let me know if purchasing is doable. Again Thank You for a great video.

[@Pursc248]

Love your videos my fellow treasure hunter. I live on the river in point of rocks area. Im down on that river all summer long. Youve probably boated right by me and I didnt even know it. I dive with a k bar to get around the rocks to find stuff trapped. But after watching these videos Id love to get a metal detector. Any suggestions for a good starter one? Cheaper the better but also not complete junk. Thanks sir!

[@reggieheidelberg2363]

That may have been a line of gold bearing quartz in that first hot rock.

[@davidharrison502]

What ever happened to all those sunglasses that you had on your fence

[@aquachigger]

Still there...lol. But the bushes have covered them.

[@TheShornak]

Right at 8:18 when you are zooming in to get the lead ball at the top of the screen looks to be a coin in the water.

[@raynin]

The Dogfish Head 90 Minute distracted me.

[@aquachigger]

I understand....lol.

[@CHAD-RYAN]

That fishing reel looks like a black mitchel.

[@monac9459]

At the 8:12 mark right when you picked up the mini ball, was that a coin slightly hidden under a small rock?

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

Hello chigg, I'm late to the comments, had to get my phone fixed

[@janehelbert7551]

I thought you did well!

[@kevinbrown2630]

Hey I was wondering have you been back to the spot where you found like 6 or 7 pounds of silver coin spill?

[@BlueEyedColonizer]

Chigg, how do you metal detect in Britian in a place "never searched before" and only find 2 or 3 things.....😂😂 I love yalls show, but the ChiggMaster don't struggle that much normally 😂😂

[@aquachigger]

We only get a very limited time to search. Plus, there is so much trash in the rivers where we go it can be difficult.

[@doublemrclean]

After the last couple days the Potomac is high and muddy.

[@SuperJohnhughes]

What do you do with all the lead bullets, great video, Hello from west Australia 🦘🦘

[@aquachigger]

Collect them.

[@thurin84]

7:26 could that be a section crossguard from a sword? it kind of has the right profile; flat on 1 side and curved on the other. 7:57 tip of a bayonet scabbard? 8:17 theres something round at the top of this frame. kinda looks like a coin of some kind.

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

8:01 , a bit o' Burnside?

[@petercalderwood2876]

The leeches must be a nightmare.

[@aquachigger]

They don't usually drink too much blood so I don't worry about them until I start to get woozy.

[@michellericard4850]

8:15 was that a coin?!?!?! At 12 o'clock. Size of a quarter

[@dougalexander7204]

18 feet higher a few days later. Wow. But, maybe you’ll go back and find that strong box of Jefferson’s confederate gold washed out of its hidie hole.

[@janehelbert7551]

Hey, you found a bullet!

[@Manticore2024]

Chigg, have you ever experienced water damage to your metal detector at any time during any of these adventures underwater in the rivers?

[@CHAD-RYAN]

First

[@ruthgail]

What year was the Indian head penny????

[@LyVanToan-vn2tq]

❤❤❤😂😂😂

[@henrybucki7813]

do they break their shoes on solid rock or loose rock?

[@zekesgirl100]

Yes. 😅

[@Dominik7T]

Im disappointed that you didnt crack this rock open.. looks like a fossil rock with a white stripe in the middle

[@joecandela2544]

13:04 What is that? it looks to have a finger ring on it.

[@whateversnext4341]

I thought you retired from doing metal detecting videos 🤔

[@aquachigger]

I did, this is actually AI.

[@thomasbritton3376]

Why do you use a bear hand on the camera should you not use your human hand?

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

As long as you don't find any brain-eating amoeba!

[@patrickbush9526]

All I ever find is water

[@aquachigger]

Better than not finding any water.

[@aguadigger]

👍🧤🧲

[@danielsasboot4466]

Same concept for finding gold on bedrock.

[@Dominik7T]

The coin is a one cent united states of america
