Metal Detecting: Follow The Oysters

[@sorci22]

I can’t say enough how I appreciate your content. You have motivated me to go out and buy my very first metal detector and start doing some local Hunt’s on my own. Hope I find some of that gold!!

[@rockreader4298]

S Sorci, That's Wonderful ! : ) Go get the treasures.

[@IratePuffin]

I think Beau has motivated a lot of us.

[@joshuataft5541]

I agree...I watch and get pumped up to go detect myself...find anything good lately 🤔

[@oliviasmith7044]

He’s so excited. I love his interest and enthusiasm. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DirtDawg]

Haha I really was

[@KirbyMArt]

This was really informative! I appreciate when detectorists explain their process

[@brianhagler4490]

Chig, thanks for the detailed info you provide. Showing your detector settings before hand and the way you were teaching that young man..it's great to see. This is especially helpful, when your newer to the sport. I watch a lot of videos for pointers; they are fun to watch but they're not helping me. But you are genuinely interested in helping us, thanks again and I don't have to pay hundreds of dollars off someone's site to watch and learn.

[@ddniUK]

Brilliant to see some content out of the USA that isn’t election related! Thanks for the escapism Beau 👍🏻

[@luke8210]

No joke. I'm glad it will be over soon. I definitely wont miss all the text messages and political calls I've been getting.

[@tomwilliams8675]

I'm with you there! Looking forward to seeing what's up on top of the bank.

[@cathybenson5119]

I loathe politics n politicians. Don't believe a word they say. They promise you all sorts of stuff, but don't make good on the major ones.

[@froggleggers1805]

@Chad Thompson idk, its looking good against that at the moment.

[@JohnRBIV]

@Chad Thompson a lockdown is the only thing that would help, herd immunity would cost 1.5 million lives + more with lasting health effects...this shit is going to be here for a couple years. should've locked down at the start and it wouldn't have been so bad

[@patriciasullivan7967]

A beautiful day to be in the woods. Than you for another learning video from you. You rock Chiggs

[@The_BlackFish]

great recoveries! love digging these type of sites

[@jcsrelics8738]

Looks like some of the same dirt we dig in sam

[@mauri7334]

Thanks for letting me hear the sounds... I still have trouble with sounds.... And learning the new Garrett Ace Apex.... love these woods! Good stuff

[@olafvidar9315]

Chig really knows what he's doing.

[@brian70Cuda]

I loved this one Chigg! Can't wait for the second half. Thank you.

[@richardperkins6132]

Looks like a great find guys. Always exciting to find tons of oyster shells out on a hunt. Hurry to the top of the hill an retrieve all those gold an silver coins, an buttons. An civil war relics that have been waiting for you to discover. Great adventure chigg, thanks for taking us along. Looks like it could be very promising. Can't wait to see what you guys uncover at the top of the hill. As always safe an happy hunting/digging.😁👍👍

[@normawinton6832]

I live in mo. with alot of osage and missouri indians. Don't think they were eating oysters here though. Wonder besides the pottery what i should also look for.

[@dirttrollingtroy3498]

Great video guys. Thank you for sharing. Have a good day.

[@shanedarbysdownhomedetecti6022]

Glad you are back to making videos regularly! Looking good! Great hunt!!!

[@lisakeener9238]

I love your videos. I'm a beginner and I live in an historic area of the Battle of Baltimore War of 1812. I learned how to detect from watching you. The machines can be intimidating. I practiced in a yard found keys a tin thimble NAILS WIRE but I had so much fun! Keep it up!❤❤. Still working on permissions who to ask where to call.

[@20greeneyes20]

Can't wait to see what unfolds in the oyster pit ...... Sorry to see the video end darn it.....

[@dragonflydigs658]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see what’s up the hill!! Be safe guys and HH⛏🎧

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Awesome day for you guys stay blessed and see you again on the next episode 👍

[@FOUNDITBURIED]

Very Cool Riven you two ended up following can't wait to see the next one.

[@robertbillingsley1650]

Great video. Lots of tips on hunting a good site

[@petesmowerrepair]

Really enjoy yer videos ! Liken yer insight, knowledge of the lay of the land and all ! Cool !

[@omarthetentmaker2616]

great hunt fellas . what a beautiful piece of land. looks like a lot of history in those parts.

[@trackerh6542]

How many people think Beau should start a museum

[@gayeyount7948]

Great video love the history lesson stay safe and have a great week

[@julielumsden5184]

Just found you after watching Chill Bill and you, great content and very pleasant to listen to someone who can speak without inserting any nasty language into your commentary. Will subscribe and keep watching

[@robertreese2600]

Best one I have watched in a while. I have a good feeling about this!

[@shanaadams9293]

Been checking for a new video all day!

[@laurasimko4426]

I love how you enjoy sharing your knowledge of history! Thank you!

[@joeylandry4933]

Awesome video once again. I can’t wait to see part two and maybe a part three 😉

[@DanO12345]

Thanks ! You're the reason I got into this hobby. Keep Chigging along!

[@TheGreatPurpleFerret]

Wow that's a lot of oyster shells. What an awesome find.

[@advenzures]

Super awesome episode. Happy Hunting. ✊️😉✊️

[@kriscoker4149]

I love how u describe the item and tell what it could be from. A lot of guys that I watch don't do that

[@ISCDesignArchitect]

Oyster dump-where we are in Australia-the oyster dumps were usually dumps from picnic areas from the late Victorian era (1880's) where the upper classes world picnic with champagne & oysters as the Victorians believed Oysters to be an aphrodisiac. Sunday afternoon picnic area: Oysters 7 Cmpagne there I believe; its good as there should be many sodas and Champagnes. picture the famous painting ":Sunday Afternoon." by Georges Seurat

[@gulfcoastmetaldetector670]

Nice job. Thanks for the video. Positive is a good thing !

[@rikspector]

Chigg, This dig is wonderful and it is almost archaeology. Back home in New Jersey, in Double Trouble park, I was following an old fire cut through the woods and came upon a bank of oyster shells(Did you notice how big they are in these old sites), They were either colonial or Leni- Lenape Indian ones. Not too far from Bayville,where we lived ,in Tuckerton,NJ along the old road out to a marine station, there is an old midden composed of all kinds of shells, primarily clams and oysters. It was once thirty feet high, at least a thousand years ago, and goes down under the tidal marsh another four feet. It makes our colonial finds seem outright modern:) I explored a lot of areas around the state from the late fifties until I moved here to Ferndale, WA 7 years ago, never used a metal detector, most of my exploration was State land. Have you ever discovered Archaeology that you could report,or assist in any digs? Lots of memories, Thank you ever so much. Frederick"Rik" Spector

[@GodSponge]

Man I hate these to be continued videos! such a cliffhanger! J/K love the video Chigg. Can't wait for the next part!

[@Amanda_D-G]

I'm loving these daily videos. Thanks for the great content chigg

[@regressmenot]

This video was neat. I've never heard the term "midden", I had to look it up. When I was a kid we found something like this out in the woods and wondered how a big pile of shells got there. Super interesting, would have been even more interesting if it was an Indian midden.

[@mathewpennington7049]

Thanks for sharing that's a cool place.

[@daviddonaghy6494]

Your videos never disappoint me. If I could walk and hear, I’d give it a try.

[@budrohammbone2806]

Beau, Thanks for the heads up on the Chiggs Army cap availability. I did not snooze this time and got one before they're gone.

[@byronh8728]

mean video chigg!!! cant wait to see part 2 !!!!!

[@38kari]

Awesome oysters 🦪 mitten!

[@petekbleeepingaustralia8720]

When your searching for a old house that once stood on a site. I always look for the oldest tree and start there 👍👍 Chiggs

[@militaryrelics8043]

The oyster shells could also be from a foundation of an old colonial house. A lot of older houses in my area have oyster shells in their foundations. Just a thought.

[@anonymousfriend897]

Stay safe my friend. The real treasures are the videos you share with us.

[@OutdoorsygalO]

What a beauty day! Looks like you fixed your shovel? There should be some oyster mushrooms out there now? Just wondered. Still, it was cool seeing actual oyster shells falling out of that bank. Wow! 😳 How cool is that? That ring guide reminded of a baby oar lock. LOL! 😉 Foil is such a pain huh? Annoying.... 🤨 Please tell us about your sniper coil? I would love to know which model it is etc. Thanks! 😊

[@markcarson1844]

Thanks guys, great content!

[@marygarner5249]

Love CHIGG always good time

[@centralpametaldetectorist289]

As soon as you popped down in the woods I was thinking to myself that looks like an old road bed and boom he pops out a reigns guide.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Holy snappin oysters you found the house site! Hope it pays off!👍

[@jcsrelics8738]

Your videos are great love them all man

[@crisprtalk6963]

Me and a buddy dug on an island in the St Johns River. it was at least three feet thick with snail shells. Millions of them.

[@michaelfeltis4940]

Chigg, great site, hope you get the chance to detect the 2nd house site!

[@ErokLobotomist]

Have you ever considered using Google Earth to scope a site out before you go there? Sometimes you can find depressions, or imprints of old buildings on flat land like that. It's a surprisingly useful way to check a site out before you check it out in person.

[@shewolf5098]

Just an idea, but maybe one of you bring a battery operated leaf blower with you so that when you go through the old creek gullies just blow a path as you go. Maybe find some more surface surprises.

[@scottt8424]

Hey man thank you for the video I enjoyed it and I have a quick question I go to flea markets and people sell old buttons but I don't buy them because I'm not sure if they're old how can I tell if they are old because to me they seem to be two lights that's the only way I can figure it out

[@rickcatocala4254]

Like the worst soybean field. Hope the farmer had insurance on the crop.

[@t.d.5832]

I was thinking the same thing LOL!

[@headrot2443]

Can't wait to see what's on top

[@jxavier3876]

What is ground balancing ? I have never heard of this should I be doing it with my detector? Its an ace 400i

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

Does every type of metal detector need to be ground balanced? What does ground balancing do? I have a very annoying metal detector that was given to me that a friend bought at good ol' Sears. It has a constant beep which is incredibly annoying but I heard that some metal detectors do this. I also can't find any information on this type of metal detector online. And....I only have the French instructions of which I can not read, lol!

[@nansea9691]

You have the best eyesight I have ever seen!!! I bet you even have ex-ray vision!!! Love your video's!!

[@glennaw1547]

I am so glad to see this tonight. What a wonderful release from the election. I am also interested in the home you two find above.

[@Mudsuitable]

Hi Mr. Chigg! I'd love to have your autograph on my machine! Thank You for the cool videos and education!!

[@district9detector56]

Hey Chig, I have the Max with the 5x8 as well, if you had to guess what is the depth loss with the 5x8 compared to the stock 8.5 x11? I have used both and not seeing much loss with the smaller coil.

[@joshuataft5541]

I love the channel..I've learned alot...it's so funny to me when you detect with some guys I can tell you are trying to be nice and give points but sometimes they dnt listen..they dnt set discrimination and so on..I see your looks to the camera..lol..jst letting you know I get it... Sometimes you dnt have to say a word an I still know what your saying..I dream of shaking your hand..

[@threefortytwo23]

Cool site!

[@isaacjohnson6607]

Hey pard i was detecting behind a house i was remodeling in spotsylvania va several years ago near bull run. I found a cache of coins in a depression about the size of a silver dollar but they are ferrous i think. Would you be willing to look at a picture of them? With as much as you know maybe you could tell me what they are? Ive asked several relic hunters but nobody has ever been able to figure out what they are?

[@thomas.bill92]

Coastal va? Were you on the northern neck? Probably drove right by my house!

[@atestamenttohistory]

Saw this on one of Facebook groups good shit m8

[@crisprtalk6963]

Let's dig man!!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Waiting on the next video Chigg GOD BLESS

[@robintaylor4249]

I love these metal detecting videos and I tell myself every day I’m gonna go buy a metal detector and I never do it why is that? I just need to make the move and do it.

[@dougalexander7204]

In Indiana our 3rd state capital was almost built on and around a midden site. It was so big, First Nation people buried there dead in it. The shells made the area alkaline and the deceased didn’t decompose well. So here comes all these lawyer type people digging wells and getting sick as dogs, plus malaria from the river nearby. Nevertheless, they moved on to Indianapolis and left our friends to Rest In Peace.

[@samuellarge1256]

Sewer gas, Bacteria farts LOL

[@PachinhoG2024]

How did the shells get there ?

[@getin3949]

Thank you for my word for the day MIDDEN.

[@richardwarnock2789]

Oysters trails excite the Aquaghigger becareful a sudden signal could cause one to hold their breath for moment just wait for it!!!; )

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

1:40 - was that a blue bottle??? or a dark leaf pretending to be a blue bottle? - just left of your hand :)

[@crucialfarmsurbanandfresh]

The farm was obviously a oyster harvesting facility. I bet you they're close to water like a bay or something 😜

[@48thstateprospecting]

To be continued...HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND I hate cliff hangers I’d watch an hour vid of yours without batting an eye reckon I’ll have to wait sigh...see you on the next one 👍🏻👊🏻

[@nelsonbattis2763]

That can was cocktail sauce?

[@halbud]

Got to watching ya'll detecting,forgot all about the election. this is a lot better, Can't wait to see wants on top of the ravine !!!

[@NCSRFSH]

If you are where I think you are there was very little civil war activity, Mostly colonial and native american. Stuff dating back to the 1600's.

[@debispilker4392]

What is a midden?

[@yomangull2538]

oyster/trash dump

[@tim9430]
