Metal Detecting : Don't Throw It Away!

[@aquachigger]

Please see my last video if you care to see me find the relics I talk about in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKu3mXp_brxli6s Also, here is a link to the "The Half Shell Book" book I use in this video. I highly recommend it. store7604577.company.site/The-Half-Shell-Book-p145210304

[@Objective-Observer]

THANKS for the update!

[@davidallison2112]

This is the finest book ever published on Civil War artillery shells, hands down. Every relic hunter should have a copy.

[@AndrexT]

That was interesting and great advice. Whatever camera you used for that is superb, absolutely pin sharp and clear.

[@PaulGadoury]

Holy crap Chigg, you really need to open a museum. The stuff I see behind you really does not pop up too often anymore. I remember one day you found like 15 shells or something crazy. You know where to look too. Not that long ago you were with a bunch of guys who were talking and your looking around and you saw a spot where the farmers field went right up to the stream, and sure enough you bend down and pick up a musket. Damn your good. I fully understand why you don't want to show your collection in totality.

[@cleansweep999]

I absolutely love this type of video!! I hope to see more like this. And I would really like to see your collection!!! ✌️🤙👍

[@andrewterry1801]

Love videos from the relic room thanks chig 👍

[@aquachigger]

I always love it when you take the time to provide more information. You're much appreciated, Professor.

[@aquachigger]

I appreciate that!

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

The ultimate man cave!! Thanks Chigg. Love the relics and the history.

[@AnotherMN_Fan]

Buy you a cup of coffee? Thanks for another lesson, Beau.

[@aquachigger]

Thanks so much!

[@raynin]

I always love relic room videos. You should show some more electrolysis videos as well.

[@aquachigger]

Once I get it set up outdoors, I will. Thanks

[@sherrizahand]

I’d like to see that too. ❤

[@greghomestead8366]

​@@aquachigger And another updated relic room tour....... Please

[@squirrelorama]

Thank you for this brief exposition Chigg! This is exactly what a lot of us asked for more of, a little while back! You heard us and thats what makes this channel one of KZbin's BEST!! 🏆 Hope you do more of these, its fascinating!

[@kevinhoock9742]

You are the ( Father of Knowledge ) on Civil War artifacts and Metal Detecting , Relic Hunting and you have the finds to prove it ! GREAT VIDEOS....

[@TomFromMN]

Thanks, Beau. You are always great at educating.

[@RobbieRayner-tb7ey]

Simply amazing Chigg! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@sadnessinside123]

I love the back drop.

[@threewheeler624]

Thank you for a good video. Always enjoy history and learning, especially from a wise knowledgeable man. Have a great week.

[@slngblde]

The beaver cracked me up

[@susansmith6680]

The beaver 🦫 is killing me because he has a special relationship with Beau. Good co-host.

[@davestelling]

And the "Chigg's Army" hat, lol...

[@Lost_AtSea_]

That’s the beaver that nearly killed him

[@kenramsburg7772]

Chig at his best, teaching us dummies the proper methods of researching artifacts from the American Civil War. Well done. I would like to see more.

[@Langonica]

Professor Chigg is the best Chigg. Prove me wrong.

[@artsimpson3670]

Mahalo Chigg, You're a great teacher!

[@rubegoldburg7841]

The bayonet is in phenomenal shape. Amazing👍

[@JustPlainSteve5372]

It looks almost identical to the one I lost that one time..

[@stillbee7222]

Ive been following Aqua Chigger for years and I have to mention your Camara work has sure come a long way. ❤

[@rickyb2200]

Thanks for the update , and that's great advice I'm sure I threw away a lot of things in my early years detecting I thought was junk we've all done it I'm sure. Thanks Chigg

[@dougsnyder8963]

Another great learning experience from the Chiggmeister. Thank you for taking the time.

[@monicawilder9411]

Thank you for explaining and showing us that info. Love your videos!

[@stillbee7222]

I love the relic room! Its like a museum!!

[@docholliday3797]

Would love to see a tour of your relic room. See some of your favorite finds and most rare. Most of my favorite finds are my favorite because of the story or who I was with. Thank you for the content. I’m anxiously waiting for the next video.

[@jaygordon9554]

You are the best Beau!

[@aquachigger]

Thanks

[@cleansweep999]

I absolutely love this type of video!! I hope to see more like this. And I would really like to see your collection!!! ✌️🤙👍

[@WesternEclectic]

Good advice Chigg! I love to find old Schrader valve covers while metal detecting. I had a friend who told me he found one but threw it away because he thought it was a "screwdriver handle." Always make sure before you discard any finds!

[@olafadams1650]

These collection videos are so coool

[@zebrathing69]

Please do a relic room tour! We’ve been asking for years. I think you would be surprised by its performance & kick to your channel’s engagement.

[@Rational863]

He's done them before but I think it's been a while since he's done one

[@gregorywillis2447]

Cool information, I'm learning more about the Civil War just watching your videos. Love the beaver!

[@SolidStateSoul]

Hope you've got that museum insured, all those relics must be worth a small fortune. Amazing collection.

[@michaelkullas9239]

Exactly why your the best in the business! Thank you!

[@Devin6072]

Would love to see another tour of the relic room. You have a great collection.

[@jomon723]

Reminds me of here in Japan when I found a piece of metal near a castle site many years ago, I threw it in my keep junk box not knowing what it was, years later I was looking through the box and after taking more interest in it and how the holes on it were made and the faint design on it and then taking a look online at many pictures it turned out to be a plate from Samurai Armor, One of my best finds to date. You just never know like you say. There has been other thing like that over the tears, Never hurts to keep it and review later. Thanks for the info, been watching off and on over the years. I see we both are getting a lot older :)) 64 here :(

[@debrabrooks6138]

Thank you for the information! One or two of the mudlarkers on the Thames found the Brit round cap but they weren't sure what is was. Thank you! oy now I have to go back over a lot of videos to find the right ones lol guess that's all part of it. :) Yes it always pays to save the things you aren't sure of, you just never know!

[@johntalley2023]

Jack Melton is a smart man, seen him at several Civil War relic shows.

[@trav-elvis]

Great stuff, Beau 👏 👏 👏

[@patrickmanasco5905]

The fact you found that stick is awesome! I was so excited when u found my first beaver dam/den but couldn’t get close enough to find any good chewed wood

[@njones420]

sooo true! I tend to throw all my bad find into the "second-look" basket ... a fresh set of eyes can work wonders. I recently found an iron Celtic fibula in there, which I initially thought was just a rusty modern lump (in the UK obviously)

[@patrickmanasco5905]

I have a cool thing I keep forgetting to post to figure out what is! Thanks for reminding me! It’s a flat metal rectangle with holes all over and triangle spikes coming out of one side pointing in opposite directions….

[@MrJsv650]

I like these types of videos

[@samueljames9342]

Hey, nice beaver

[@48thstateprospecting]

That’s cool that you identified the British cap most people would have thought it’s a pipe cap and thrown it away these videos from the relic room are absolutely priceless as I learn so much about civil war weapons from them thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[@jimschafer9196]

Cool I got a kick out of [and a smile here in Oregon] (stuffed Beaver) maybe it needs a new name = "Buck But-Byte Beaver" - for what 2 years ago the nigh mare beaver chasing down the Chig - LOL Great teaching on the finds and how to compare and evaluate them!

[@mikemaxwell2591]

Always a like and a comment for the stats oh great one! Be well and thanks for sharing.

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Awesome information! Love seeing your collection!

[@melissam9064]

Thank you for yet another entertaining great video! Very informative and fun as usual. The beaver is hilarious 😂

[@mattybigr]

Great video Chigg very informative and hope to see more 👍

[@joeylandry4933]

I love seeing the relic room and learning about the different shells. I spent 4 years in a artillery battery with the Virginia guard with M198’s which might explain my love for artillery 🙂👍 Btw, I still get the willys thinking about that beaver 🦫 attack 😬

[@joemiller8965]

Good explanation on those pieces. Thanks for sharing that.

[@snowballil3133]

That book is interesting, love the history. Your way more interesting than my history in school was.

[@targetshot2]

Thank you for the information and entertainment, Chig! GL-HH!!

Those mystery items always turn out to be something you'd never imagine

[@mikewatts3615]

Great video

[@TeamLynchBMD]

Thanks Chigg I always appreciate the education

[@kathybrandt6060]

When I saw you were in the relic room, I was like oh God he’s gonna take us through some stuff and you did and it was really cool, but I wanted to see the stuff on the wall.

[@roballison3281]

Thanks Chiggs !

[@frankiesaotoandmore5872]

So very true and thanks for the history

[@dannywyand6817]

Thanks for another entertaining and enlightening video.

[@berkleyalcorn7409]

Fantastic video and follow up video. Thank you!!!

[@heden1460]

That's good advice. I'm more of a rock hounder, but wish I could get a metal detector. Sometimes I toss a rock I realize later I should have kept. I did that just two weeks ago and I'm still kicking myself for it.

[@allenpence8948]

Very informative

[@kyradigi8473]

Hey @aquachigger huge fan for years now just was wandering if your ever going to do any more snorkeling videos in the river

[@muddawgkomm9642]

Like these types of "explainer" videos Chigg but all in all a longer video like this would be great.

411th like, im sometimes wonder what my items are, but i always keep what i find.

[@mandograssable]

I think I found one of those caps before and I am not sure if I saved it. I will have to go through my boxes of stuff to find out. Good video!

[@BobL84]

very nice finds!

[@andrewnorton931]

It would be awesome to have a tour of your collection.

[@rogerswanson9974]

The bayonet looks to be a model 1799 socket bayonet "Austrian " made from 1799-1860 , used during the civil war mounted on the M1854 Lorenz .54 cal muzzle loader. I found one at a garage sale for. 50 cents 🤠

[@TomFromMN]

Wise words.

[@jimbennett2795]

Please do more of these shows

[@juliuscaesar3346]

Great video ❤️💚🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@aserta]

Our group doesn't throw anything. We still have all of the stuff we've found almost a decade and a half ago. And the simple reason is... maybe you don't know now, but you may know tomorrow. And sometimes, not always, but sometimes, you end up finding the rest of "item x". They're all geo-tagged and categorized on one of our guy's property. He has free space and enjoys tagging and writing stuff up. He wants to open up a museum when he gets old. :))

[@danielcunningham2394]

I don't know if I left a guess in the last video, but even if I did, the brass cap, got it wrong.
