[@lesahanners5057]

Ya never know Chigg that my be a wayside tavern you've come across and you'll find lots more silver and buttons and GOOOLD. Glad you found Spanish silver, and the great fancy dandy button too. Nice camp by the water, and non-nosy cows, what more could a fella want?! Hope you have good huntin' tomorrow.

[@R86Quad]

Way to go on the old Spanish coin Chigg!!!! who would of thought it would be in the middle of bodunk, VA.

[@P.B.Theriver]

The gold coin you've been looking for is under the cow pie.

[@stanbarrett5552]

Nice coin Sir!! Thanks for taking us with you!!

[@jeffadams7]

Awesome find Chigg! Enjoy your campout

[@rogerallen6644]

Never get tired of you talking! It’s why I watch! 😀

[@canningmatthew]

The native American knowledge is great. When hunting history its always important to consider the landscape and how people who have gone before us used it. Like the rock shelters you have found and why you hunt for long forgotten fords or river crossings. Its all part and parcel of respecting the stories of artefacts.

[@forslavjo]

This is exactly why I dig every single pull tab. The Spanish came through Northwest Arkansas and I'm hoping that I find a 500 year old Spanish coin. I would lose my damn mind. ...and I've dug hundreds of pull tabs... haha

[@yerdigginitmetaldetecting]

I’ve been fortunate enough to run into Spanish silver on two occasions... I will never forget those days. Congrats on yours! 👍🎧😎⚒

[@duncancoins377]

Wow! Amazing old silver. If only I could find something that old hunting coin rolls lol.

[@joeylandry4933]

That was a great video, I love the scenery.

[@rickyb2200]

Nice Spanish Silver , Old silver is always exciting to find. Great find Chigg.

[@thatsmallrockshop]

The tannins from the acorns were also used for tanninig hides hence the term tanning from the word tannin.

[@AndrexT]

Came down here to say that. In England they are also used to boil fishing nets. It helped stop them rotting. To make native flour, the outer skin had to be removed.

[@peterjohnston3535]

Red oak are more bitter then a white oak. Tried it years ago.

[@richardperkins6132]

Awesome finds chigg. An sounds like you will be digging many more targets tommorow. Good luck on your finds an enjoy the hunt. As always, safe an happy hunting/digging.😁👍👍

[@NAVZ247]

Nice one😉👌👍Good luck for tomorrow👍

[@versedi]

I really enjoy the little stories you say to us :)

[@Oldtboot]

Love the stories mate, cheers :) Keep yappin'

[@rockreader4298]

Chigg, Congrats on that little Spanish Silver! It looks like the ridge of a turtle shell at 0:35 into vid, in lower left of screen. Nice story about the acorn nuts. You are right, the bitterness can be leached out by digging a hole and covering the acorns with wood ash and about five inches of earth, before the rains and leave them there for a (three weeks?) and check them. They should then be ready to roast, eat and grind for flour. : )

[@robinqm]

The photography in this video was beautiful....seems clearer and sharper than usual...You looked like you were standing in my living room..lol

[@kickapootrackers7255]

Sweet Beau SPAINISH SILVER SWEET!!!; )

[@debispilker4392]

Love your videos! Thanks!

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

I was taught the White Oak acorn is the edible one. The Red Oak is a two year acorn with too many tannins to be edible. You still have to soak the White Oak acorn, but the tannins mostly leave after enough water changes.

[@rogerdempsey7227]

You can't beat that coin awesome for the chigger 👍

[@theswingshiftmetaldetectin5900]

Awesome Spanish silver Chigg!

[@SuperNmolnar]

Nice find on the Spanish silver, very odd that it is way out in that area, where there is one there cold me more all the best cheers from Canada!

[@charleshowell7855]

Deer prefer acorns from trees in the white oak family of trees because they have less tannins. Hard to believe 1/3 of the eastern forest was chestnut at one time.

[@dannyl2598]

Very nice. Thanks.

[@Mountainmonths]

wow! the button is nice too it even has a little design on it

[@lonniechartrand]

Is this an older video, or did you get your "Christmas haircut and a shave?" lol You clean up pretty good!!! Merry Christmas and happy digging.

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

This is very recent video...trust me I know.

Looking forward to seeing the next video Chigg GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏

[@patricialenaburg6553]

If you were to quit yapping, I probably wouldn't watch as much. That's your personality, just wouldn't be yourself. Great find, see you down the road.

[@muddawgkomm9642]

Wow, super nice! MOAR

[@randlerichardson5826]

[@GYDRONE]

Love it! Keep it up. Good luck.

[@larrydennis5826]

Congrats on that coin Chigg! Good video.

[@sarahsmthrox]

Looks like a clear cold night. If you tent csmp, Id like to see your set up!

[@IndianaTones]

Love the vids Chig! Keep them coming

[@permiebird937]

The region you're in had about 20% chestnut tree cover in forests when Europeans arrived. Chestnuts require less processing for food, so developing Oaks for food would be less important. It's likely the indigenous people were spreading chestnuts, and remembering where the edible oaks are. We forget about how common chestnuts were before the 20th century.

[@texaswader]

.22-250 is a great varmint and deer caliber. Very popular here in Texas for deer size and smaller animals.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Awesome find. What else lay in that dirt?

[@op3crimsin]

Little trick for when you're filming really close to the object to try and show it off--pinch and zoom from just a tad bit away, instead of bringing the phone right up to the object. It'll show much clearer, and should be no sweat for you to do since you never wear gloves :)

[@randlerichardson5826]

Deer will go to certain oaks to in the middle of a oak tree thicket

[@debbiesineath1952]

Looking good Chigg!

[@donc9751]

Great find! Dream coin for me!

[@erikjgreen]

.22-250 is still quite fast, but the "new hotness" is the .338 Lapua, which has ballistics halfway between a deer cartridge and the .50 caliber sniper rifles that weigh so much they should come with wheels. It's not a varmint cartridge, it's a sniper rifle cartridge, but it has over 3x the muzzle energy of the .22-250, and it's used for long range shooting at people.

[@eddominates]

Chig said "well my dudes we might be in luck" and I spit out my coffee

[@SuperPappy-v8e]

1st again.... Thanks Chigg ! 👍🏻 Keep'em coming Buddy !

[@dougalexander7204]

Sometimes I think about the misfortune of the person who lost a silver or gold coin. 200 some years ago that was worth a lot of kittens.

[@warwickscram5925]

Probably screamed 'no buenooooo!' when he found his pocket empty.

[@ericday604]

Congats man!! How were the Spanish raman noodles? Looks like the button has a little fancy on it. Real nice finds and I would be willing to bet a good nights sleep.....aahhh

[@oldbamadirt2148]

yes that works for me all day long.

[@exploringwithamission]

Best wishes and Happy Holidays 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@district9detector56]

Congrats Chigg 🤙

[@bryonletterman5440]

Here in Missouri the deer go after the white oak acorns after the first hard frost which makes them sweeter.

[@j-rocd9507]

I live right across the river illinois side from Stl. I didn't know that about the acorns thank buddy. Happy holidays!

[@AThike]

Congratulations!!

[@Waty8413]

2:50 I think it has more to do with the reliability of the crop than the time it takes to grow an oak. White oaks produce the acorns that are easiest to make edible and the native americans knew this. However, white oaks are not only cyclical in acorn production, but very susceptible to frost. You can easily have years where a stand of white oaks has almost no acorns. Planting oaks is just not a dependable source of food the way planting a field of corn is. It's great if when they are available, but it's probably a better use of time and energy to find the trees that are producing in a given year and farm something else.

[@NickBell81]

That thumbnail though! 🤣

[@bellecarmichael2663]

Love the ramen photo lol!

[@walthasson2295]

Did that coin travel directly from the cow pat @ 7:45 to the Ramen @ 8:09? Awkward backdrop - hard to disguise the undigested cellulose. Ya' gotta pay attention if yer gonna find stuff folks... Admire your rejection of modern dung phobias.

[@HERMOSABEACHGUY]

I like the pic of the coin on the noodles at the end.......

Coolest find in a while Chig. What’s the value on something like that if it were mint?

[@magikarpfn1496]

Awesome 😎

[@tas3059]

Lookin sharp you get a hair cut? Lol 💪🏼💯

[@catfeline1530]

It's kind of weird knowing that the last hand to touch that coin before your hands found it, was over 200 years ago.

[@TheJerseyDigger]

I dug a 1782 1 Reale before. Actually it got me Garrett’s find of the month. 2012’ish?

Be careful Chigg camping next to the river. It's very easy to wet the bed, hearing the sound of rushing water all night.
