Metal Detecting: Return To The Honey Hole

In this video I return to an old detecting spot with a underwater scooter to help remove sand and silt. I find some Civil War bullets, coins, buttons, and other odds and ends.

Thanks, Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. No cursing or trashy talk is refreshing, The contents are lots of fun to watch. I never would have thought I would be an armchair adventurer! Oh well, an armchair is a little better than a box! Thanks from Staunton Virginia!

[@gregkerr725]

I love it when you point things out like the beaver slide....You'd be a good detective Beau!

[@MatthewPfeil]

You sir are a brave man. Frigid water temps and soggy beaver poo! Nice hunt! Hope you had a little something to warm you up afterwards! Thanks for sharing!

[@kevin86670]

Nice video! Great finds. You should take you're little friend to the spot where you found all the silver coins!

[@archeodigger]

Very nice finds Beau! Might I make a suggestion on combating the cold temperatures in the water, at least as far as your hands are concerned. Since we detect all year long here in Alaska, I found that wearing mechanics disposable work gloves work excellent in keeping my hands warm. I found them at a local auto parts store, by the brand name "Raven". they're black and heavy duty so they don't rip as easy as the hospital ones do. But what they do do is give me a thermal barrier against the weather. the colder it gets, I just add another layer and I'm good to go. I maintain the majority of finger sensitivity for feeling objects but my hands stay warm when I pull my digging gloves off Hope this helps mate. Again, great finds and looking forward to your next video! Doug

[@MrPelcat]

If you ever find zippo lighters you can send em back to the company and they actually repair it for free no matter what condition it's in and even if you didn't buy it. They even send back the broken parts and stuff.

[@mikeadrover5173]

Well. It’s about time Beau! I thought I would not see you till spring? So all that said; thanks for the new video! And As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~

[@halbarney2682]

every time you go under water (just about) it sounds like somebody playing a rubber-band guitar (or trying). 😄

[@TigerRifle]

I am envious!

[@dianapiesak5766]

Love all your videos! Keep them coming :)

[@LarryandColleenReynolds]

Another nice video and hunt Beau.

[@TomFromMN]

Some really nice finds! The cold water has to get painful. The first time I've seen the scooter, Is that the last time? Enjoyed.

[@loubarra]

Damn you make some great videos! Thanks for sharing.

[@ineedMOrivers]

nice work with the scooter fan!!! if there's low water current, do you have to wait a bit for the water to clear out to see the bottom, or can you easily blow the murkiness away as you're fanning?

[@Turkeydoodlers]

Great finds

[@cody125612]

Just became a subscriber. Great videos!!!

[@mr.rogers9319]

A Beaver Turd that's funny

[@dadspiranha.pipeslogos4207]

The old hunny hole! Asume fan im getting one..

[@franciswells7485]

Gonna miss ya Chig

[@immeee44]

By the way love your videos Beau

[@timboslice6219]

Hey love your videos when can we expect a new one

[@garrettvlogs3174]

you are an inspection to me and my friend

[@alainmallet1683]

Beau get to the beaches if you have any near you and see what treasures are lurking under the sand for you to add to your museum indoors. If the rivers are all iced over as you say. Also why did you promise to someone that you would go back to this river when it was so cold to do so Challenges must be in your blood he he haa haa and a prosperous New Year to you all in the land of big skys

[@flacousa62]

How do you manage the underwater mask and the mustache? I had to shave mine for a recent snorkeling trip in Belize because water kept sipping in.

[@JanetWilham]

YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR ARROWHEADS TOO.

[@blakestalnaker2747]

Janet, why are you yelling?

[@randlerichardson5826]

Not bad

[@timsterrett2417]

How did all the relics, bullets,and etc. end up in the river in such concentration,does anyone know.

[@saderodriguez576]

What do you do with all of this stuff when you are done with the video

[@TheFirstgoldking]

Excuse me..I didnt mean to offend you..its just your complaining about the cold..but your not protected . hands are most sensitive.. great videos..wish alaska was old enough to have many great treasure sitesonly 1898 to date no wars ..stay warm.

[@smolvoidling4900]

VN Dustoff thank you or the info. I must tel Great Gram and Gramps who are surprisingly still alive

[@MikeyMikeM21]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet hunt

[@joebryanthill7023]

you should come to the tuckaseigee

[@jameslawson7383]

I live right down the road from it.

[@stephentebbutt7161]

should get a dry suit would keep you much warmer.

[@stephentebbutt7161]

Wow a lot of trash in them there river, what do you do with all your sinkers/lead weights.

[@papi6591]

I went meld detecting once but nothing found •~•

[@jeremy74pow]

maybe all them screws are from boards that rotted in the water. or some idiot threw them there

[@jonathanmahnig3458]

wie gehts?

[@detecthistory5271]

Beau, another fun video! My 4 year old and I sat down and watched it together. Thanks again!!

[@jerseyforlife]

i am blown away at how many screws/nails you find. People wonder why i always wear foot protection when i go anywhere in the water...this is a perfect example why i do that.

[@ricksanchez694]

Its really sad that the rivers in America is so trashy. Where i live the rivers are pretty clean most places and you will not be able to find all this kind of junk there, like nails, car batterys and what not.. that would maby be common in the rivers runniong trough the cities' but not out in the middle of nowhere... you may find sinkers there.... do people in USA just throw their trash into rivers ? wauw.

[@sseagraves32]

Great video brother... I never thought of treasure hunting rivers like this. Will be doing it this summer . You should check out Charleston South Carolina sometime. It is a treasure hunters gold mine. Proverbs 3:5-6

[@pepeledog]

LOL!! Great video! It takes a dedicated relic hunter to go swimming in a river during winter!!! It was a decent haul!

[@SpiritBear12]

Wow, can't believe how many nails and screws your pick picked up in just those small areas! I must remember not to walk around in small rivers and creeks without water shoes. I don't need a rusty nail or screw stabbed into my foot. So many of those square nails!

[@davidwinfree6412]

Thanks to you Beau, I just identified a piece that I dug from an indian camp site on my property in Texas. It was the shoulder appellate. (I don't know if that is spelled correctly) I am in aww. I thought it might have been a piece off of furniture. Did union and rebel uniforms have these? Mine is identical to the two you pulled up, maybe a tad smaller, its kind of hard to scale.

[@davidwinfree6412]

Thanks Beau, your vids are great and you inspire me to get out there. I do a lot of home sites and ghost towns in my area etc. I do have 2 more intriguing pieces that I found in this same site I would like for you to see. Both made of brass. Do you have an e-mail or a public forum that you are on? I would love to show you pics and maybe help I.D. them. If not, that's cool, I know there are a lot of freaks on here you would want to limit contact as much as possible.lol Thanks.

[@malcolmpotter]

Always like to see different ways of hunting. Amazing where all the nails and dross comes from. Happy Holidays and happy hunting Mal

[@gravediggermaxvabeachva]

nice spin - that scooter job works great. god i hate being cold -i was under dressed today as it got late. great job - GL HH

[@dandutchy6101]

Nice CW relics Beau and smart idea to take a blower, just awesome ! Best wishes for 2014 and keep uploading the fantastic videos. GL&HH Dan

[@J_Patterns]

That looks like a Zippo lighter you found. If it is old it is valuable. They have a lifetime guarantee so if you mail it to them, they will get it in working condition again. It is at 10:03 in the video on the bottom middle.

[@donnabroussard4548]

Jason Donnelly I

[@adventuresunknown1013]

AquaChiggar, Hello, I was going to ask what that big thing was but then you said it was a blower. Some nice finds there with the buttons and bullets and I thought that I saw some like jingle bells in the pile of trash that you said you were going to go through! So, does the Blower blow gold out of the crevies? Or does it just blow out the loose soil? GL and HH!!!

[@MichaelSwan66]

cool video :)

[@Thedeepbluediver]

Great video Beau. Amazing how many iron objects are down there. GL & HH and Happy New Year! Mark

[@ozbad07]

Another great video. Nice idea with the Sea-Doo - just like the mailboxes used by shipwreck hunters.

[@TheFirstgoldking]

Try dredging in glacier fed creeks in fairbanks alaska in the spring..unlike you sir..youll know gloves are worth every penny of the few bucks they cost to stsy warm..great videos..

[@shawnp8429]

Beau what state are you in,i have a few good places here in Maryland.i haven't bought any scuba diving gear for metal detector yet but will soon. Is there any way you could send me a email without posting it public

[@trentsmillmansion1]

Great video Beau! Sounds like the water temperature was brutal! Keep it up!!

[@joemiholics6777]

So, did you or did you not, get over to the New Deep Hole or will that Video be Titled "Honey #2" and potentially with a sequel... It's AMAZING just How JADED you are around soooooooooo much NEAT & TANGIBLE History...!!!

[@Dirkdaring44]

Looks like the last water video until Spring! When does it start to get warm enough for you to go back out? And man, I can't believe all that iron in one spot!

[@MadisonMainedetecting]

You did well, way to brave the cold. I always enjoy your videos.

[@Daniel-fo6sp]

I'm always amazed at your ingenuity when it comes to relic hunting, be it the AquaChigg Mini or the blower. As always an excellent video and I'm looking forward to the spring hunts! Best wishes and the best of luck.

[@StivNagen]

Some great finds, Beau. I never would have thought there were so many nails and screws in there! Jeez, I wonder what kind of stuff I could find in the Mississippi River up here. (Course, it's frozen right now.) Another awesome video!

[@05222007MER]

Another good hunt and video Beau. Got quite a few nice relics there. Good luck on your next. :)

[@MrGhengis1]

That was a civil war beaver poo! nab it!

[@The_Real_Tunder]

makes me rethink swimming barefoot. yikes

[@the1bulldurham]

It's cold? Suck it up and find us some treasure! Bwahahahahahah! Thanks for the entertainment. Be safe.

[@freddieeatsgoldcoins]

Hi Beau, nice video, i can feel the cold in the way your talking! Brrrrrrrr , i love the old spoon...really nice finds. many thanks for showing your videos over the last year! .all the best for the new year! I hope its a "golden" one for you! cheers,g.:)

[@henrys3629]

A mini ball of beaver poo. Most of my creek area is too shaded to see anything and there's nearly zero civil war era items. Drat.

[@kevinron7559]

It made me cold watching this Beau, it wasn't just the water though, so much trash isn't saying much for the environment over there but hopfully it put's some brass in your pocket if you trade it in. Have a happy new year Beau and your family. Kevin.

[@ChrisSkjrvik]

I love watching your videos! I have a question, when you are filming under water, or just anywhere, where to you keep your camera? Attached to your chest or head? Or something completely else?

[@dougalexander7204]

Chiggenheimer is going all Jacques Cousteau on us. Dig the ‘reef blower’ and water jet kayak from another video.

[@kaolinwasher]

Beau, do you think the civil war solders, may have used the river to take a bath, and fish , I can only imagine how they must have loathed the rations, and how hot it was and dirty they where, - Man when they got next to that river , they made a bee line to it

[@doctordelts7811]

I always wondered if there were arrows or arrow heads just inspired after that spoon, eh, ya know, have Ye ever found some arrows or anything like the sort, or maybe even spears if they ended up there, I don't know, 'MURICA!

[@ashton150]

hey advice during this video I saw a square nail that you picked up with the magnet so just always check the nails

[@VonnCrit]

Man, I feel your pain in that cold water. Thanks for doing it for us. Great watching you hunt.

[@JuggaloSmokinHerb]

You are a lucky SOB lmao - I subbed brotha highly interesting stuff ever care to show off some rocks I'm down to check em out - space shit is cool lol

[@transconductor888]

Your videos are awesome! They are so informative, done very well, making you feel like you're right there. Very cool!!

[@kitt199546]

Dam Beau.. I don't know how you do that cold.... Ewwwwww... Bryan

[@garrettvlogs3174]

at my local creek behind my neighborhood I found a knife I did some research it was a kabar ww2 knife it was my best find I have ever found.

[@diggingarizona8592]

It was a 2 ring Beaver Sphincter Bullet! Nice finds.

[@jaymoge]

Very nice find. Lots of stuff in there. Love the Henry bullet.

[@beachtrout]

i don't mind water but hate cold water, was losing my breath watching you go under every time. Great finds, I am sure there is more to be found there just maybe save it for fairer weather lol.

[@tuledude89]

KAlifornia is so lame they would say you are excavating ,with that fan

[@alainmallet1683]

Beau Great to see ya in the mud over the festive period and have a wonderful time of it with all your treasures from the deep Another great piece of directing and editing especially when the fanning machine was deployed really exciting to see for the first time Good on ya kiddo

[@JVD8383]

hay man love your video's what model of seadoo are you using and are you happy with it I'm looking for one to do the same with i need a up grade from the hands lol put don't want to spend $1000 for one

[@aaronsybrant9176]

I actually wouldn't mind a couple of old square nails. I would hate to find wire and modern nails so I can see why you have your discriminator up on your other videos.

[@JP-st2mk]

One thing about going out when it's so cold is you don't have a lot of competition lol. Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@JCJohnsonAdventures]

Good video Beau but way to cold for me. Nice haul of flat buttons and bullets

[@ruffysorganicgarden798]

good day sir! salute! aren't you a navy seal or ninja or spy guy? cold water does not effect you trained killers!

[@outdoorexploration4854]

cool finds I like how you have found hundreds if not thousands of minnie balls and act like its nothing when you find them in these videos. cool videos keep them comming

[@bethedwards6252]

Love that magnet - great idea even for iron in holes on dry land! But I'd rather not disturb all the silt, personally.

[@jackjackson6378]

hey awesome finds with the bullets. Hey what equipment do you need for water hunting and how can you tell if the water has old stuff in it?

[@DonWilsondigginTimeUSA]

I had to cover myself with a blanket to watch this.....LOL

[@RockMonger]

why are all these relics in creeks? you make some awesome videos bro. thanks for sharing with us!

[@lockednloadedmetaldetectin7638]

awsome as always!!!! what was the water temp??? i was cold watching

[@davidfloyd7120]

love the sounds ,used to hunt in the Alafia river found mostley fossels than anything else ,but great fun.

[@treasurefacts2654]

Well no Marty Robins reference this time but great Video! Lol! Stay golden. Happy New Year!

[@DerekNaylor]

[@DerekNaylor]

[@hollymaffia7352]

can't wait for spring!keep the videos coming!

[@frogman319]

Do you wear a 3 mil suit? Ever thought of a pony bottle strapped to the back instead of the hookah? Might save some headache dragging all that gear around. Good finds and thanks for sharing. Always love your underwater hunts. :)

[@frogman319]

Yep I understand. I switch to my dry suit this time of year. Thanks again for sharing.

[@reach4464]

I've been waiting for a new video. Thank you, sir.

[@vickiechamness3361]

Chigg, are the flattened spoons being used as type of spinner for fishing?

[@kathydore3230]

I grew up swimming in a mountain river & the water was always warmest in the fall, it was warmer than the air

[@evanthompson1592]

You should do a giveaway of some of the fishing stuff you've found!
