Metal Detecting With Birhead Jones

[@jacobbyington5534]

Bo, you probably wont see this but I want you to know your videos are helping me through some hard times in my life. You make it feel like I'm there with you sharing the excitement of your hunts. These videos lift my spirits every time! Thank you sir

[@smithwesson3771]

Same here my friend

[@doublemrclean]

You have a tremendous knowledge of wildlife, which really adds to your videos.

[@glendasheaffer4459]

Husband says the brown insulator was open wire for communications (ATT retiree) so they wouldn't ground out. The clear ones you didn't take were probably for turning a corner. He also said as a kid the orchard would dig a big hole and bury the dead trees in it and that the sinking holes may be from the buried trees.

[@anitablades6033]

Thank you for letting all of us know. Thumps up to you !!!!

[@jimkey920]

When I was a kid I would tape Mantis cases to the bottom of the Teachers Desk. They would hatch and fill the room with hindreds of annoing babies! Bedlam!

[@Crowborn]

Jim Key That is... genius

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

Jim Key Oh my lol

[@Suzi_Missouri]

I absolutely love trains... So I actually like it when you record them passing by...

[@Fragrantbeard]

What a sweet guy. I liked his energy. And now I feel super woo woo, but there it is.

[@broadstken]

Hey Chig, the brown ceramic insulator is called a "saddle top" it's late 1940's or newer if I'm remembering right. Some of them have a makers mark that looks like a faint ink stamp on the skirt area. The piece with 4 clear glass insulators is called a "span bracket" or "transposition bracket" probably made by Hemingray or Owens Corning. I'd grab them if it was me, they aren't particularly valuable, or rare, but still neat insulators.

[@RustyNailsadventures]

I'm not sure how normal it is to have a favourite insect, but I just love the praying mantis.

[@coinucopia]

Rusty Nails hi Scott!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Yes the mantis is a great bug cleaner outer.

[@Roosterdoodler]

Those Relic hunters from the 70s we're drinking beer and burying the cans, thinking 40 years from now some guys going to dig this up thinking he found a good Relic! LOL

[@19Photographer76]

The white porcelain insulator is a nice find but I wouldn't keep the brown. Porcelain started in 1950 so really new. My best one is purple and a green round top (CD 145). The turned mounting wood is collectible also.

[@TheGomezadams2]

The minie ball you found at 24:59 looks EXACTLY like the very first ball I found almost 30 years ago. Smashed identically!

[@asentimentalman6655]

The red thing...is a trailer seal. Trucking industry uses them to show there loads were not tampered with upon delivery. Keller is a rather large company as well.

[@jeffbrown307]

Very entertaining. I enjoy your enthusiastic approach to hunting. Thanks for sharing.

[@davcbow]

Hey Chig the red band is a security seal. We use them to seal our trailer when we get loaded... I drive 18 wheelers.. but you can use those seals anywhere I would guess..

[@123hardyklr]

Like how you are always finding "treasure" in all things you observe, not just under the ground..Great job!

[@cartoonscollecting1891]

love the civil war bullets and plate

[@KingOfLife2024]

hi, I am your Polish viewer, a very nice movie, I hope so. I wish you good luck and best regards

[@lesahanners5057]

Out in our orchard in Oregon you would never have found so many cans. Dad and Grandpa were ex-military, and nobody was allowed to throw down their junk anywhere. However, part of it is along a golf course and you could fill five gallon buckets full of golf balls. There was also said to be a old grave from pioneer days in one of the poplar wind-blocks, but nobody marked where it was, so it has never been found. Too bad about all of the nasty cans, but still it was a nice adventure and you always manage to make it interesting. That walk along the tracks sure brought back childhood memories. Also glad your friend John didn't get skunked.

[@diggitallindadirt3283]

That was a really great video that was fun watching you and birhead great finds . I used to have a lot of green glass insulators but gave them away to family and friends thanks.

[@desertfoxx1823]

Love old railroad artifacts...........I probably would of hauled the entire line pole away :)

[@luke.thedrifter2281]

Ya know I've seen a bunch of medal detecting channels but I gotta say, you really make it fun for us to watch, and very educational. Thanks for the great content keep on keeping on man.

[@luckystrikemaven5409]

i totally agree.. all the other videos i had seen seem click baity. and i dont like those at all

[@backcountrydiggers6347]

Nice hunt brother as always Thanks for taking us along.

[@samanthamalcolm2168]

The house I grew up in had a shed on the back part of the property that had a TON of glass insulators. Most of them were a clear super light teal-ish color. Never knew what they were until watching this. We just thought they were some strange pieces of junk that the previous owners left behind. There were at least 100, not including ones that were damaged.

[@GFJEFFGF1]

The red band is a seal from the train car they use them on semi trailers also

[@weskrouse4642]

the red band you found if memory serves me right s a seal they put on the latch of the doors of the train cars that is for when they have a full load, when they get to the destination they are supposed to be intact, if not there is an investigation to ensure nothing was stolen, was weird it was intact looped as you have to cut them off lol neat find :)

[@advenzures]

Woohoo! Great video and awesome finds! Happy Hunting!

[@robertthompson9455]

There are thousands of miles of RR utility poles across the country. This goes back to RR communications were transmitted over hard wires. All that's changed now and the old RR utility poles will be gone forever. That will make those glass insulators very collectible.

[@jessicastacey6575]

You are a natural tv star, I absolutely love watching - just wish I lived in the USA ! Keep digging 👌🇬🇧

[@thejacksonschannel9247]

We just found a couple of insulators this week! Love the video!

[@dougalexander7204]

Wolves wouldn’t bother Aquachigger. ...professional courtesy for being such a naughty boy.

[@ItsBrandy93]

You're my favorite KZbinr 💗 I love learning so much from you.

[@ZeroDiscrimination]

Great video! Keep ‘em coming! Love the insulators! Thanks for sharing HH! ~ Gypsy

[@UrbanDKaye]

7:11 Saddleback insulator. Post -WW2. They go for about $15-$30 on eBay.

[@jeremymcdaniel8777]

The orange/red tag is a load tag/lock for trailers.

[@mikegroves4450]

The insulators make great ash trays.

[@keithdickson8364]

That brown insulator looks like what they would have used for electric lines.

[@shreeugaji997]

Been craving to watch your videos and released on time😀

[@trybal007]

I use those insulators for holding candles. Mess free!

[@notsure8041]

I worked in a precast concrete plant and in the summer I was constantly saving preying mantis that would get into our mixer auger. I think some of the guys thought I was nutz.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

What the heck Beau! I think you're contagious! A train just went past my house while watching the video!

[@donnabroussard4548]

Christopher Dilworth I

[@ErlefromVa]

Nice to meet Birhead, congrats on the Breast Plate Beau! Good little hunt and thanks for sharing!

[@luckystrikemaven5409]

the red seal is a tamper seal, used on trailers and such. when picking up a load, thr driver would add this and record the seal number. if the load arrives, and the seal is gone, the load has been tampered with.

[@jimmyroberts3]

Luv this time of year in your vids. Havent seen the gpx in some time. Be nice to see it again, hint hint. Lol. Great find amongst all those cans too.

[@jimjustice581]

Whoa! Your metal detector sounds like a train!😀

[@TheStwat]

Those trains are following you around, Chigg, haha.

[@antwal2305]

There was a glass insulator near the first pole tucked in the grass.

[@airplanegeorge]

Grab one of those mantises by the back, he will give you a reach around and show you how those pinchers work.!

[@Drifter.]

That red thing is a manifest door seal.you see them on semi trailers railcars thats so the shipper or receiver will know the door has been opened if that plastic seal is broken

[@ChristopherHayniedd980]

You just love those trains. Lol

[@bjohnson4450]

The red band is mainly used to seal up semi trailers once their loaded.

[@davemaza5976]

Praying mantises are not harmless! They'll mess you up with their serrated legs. I picked one up when I was a kid and it sawed a nice cut in my finger.

[@josephsillings8465]

Great dig for you both, keep'em swingin

[@maytagmark2171]

The brown ones you collected are called saddlebacks. $5.00 give or take, pretty common as you can imagine. Same price range for the white one too.

[@thesunreport]

Those insulators can make decent candle holders...the ceramic ones..not the glass ones as they can shatter if the flame hits them. :)

[@slimwantedman6694]

4.50.... Learnt sumthing new. Will keep an closer eye on it.

[@slimwantedman6694]

5.52 white insulators are keepers

[@txtiger6927]

birhead looks good in that tiger orange

[@zipshed]

Wish you would have gave him the plate.

[@jerseydemon4134]

Wally Weener i imagine the plate would mean less to birhead Jones since he was not the one who found it. Don’t worry though I’m sure he was happy with his nice civil war bullet and silver coin

[@Roosterdoodler]

It really means alot more when you find it yourself! His time will come, remember alot of Union troops would rip off the breast plates and throw them in the weeds! They made a perfect center mass target. I have three and two were found in the weeds by an old road the soldiers marched on!

[@cd1673]

No, thousands of praying mantis... I found that out as a child, eagerly anticipating the emergence of a beautiful butterfly. Jar over it, brick canter underneath. I'm my bedroom, woke up to thousands. Disappointed, but learned.

[@susanolson3611]

😬

[@davideo1954]

😱

[@Sarah1920s]

D Devries they are beautiful

[@cd1673]

Red Butterfly when grown, I totally agree, but when you're 6 yrs old and wake up to thousands of them all over your bedroom.... tiny tiny black colored and of course my soft heart was traumatized. Question: how do you remove ten thousand tiny black mantis from your bedroom? More trauma. We did the best we could with a hand held vac and depositing them on the shrubs in the back yard. Trauma for a tender hearted nature loving kiddo. 😊

[@jimgriffiths9071]

Beau, I think you're too humble. Birheads best find of the day is getting to spend a couple of hours with a celebrity like you! Good time!

[@johnscallan5648]

In the category of useless information I remember Burrhead Jones, the furniture salesman from Montgomery, AL back in the mid 70s.

[@marshlandoutdoors2592]

Awesome video and hunt Chigg

[@mikemccoy4832]

The insulator set up at 7:37 is really cool. Wonder it they were made by Corning/Pyrex? I don't know the value but it looked awesome and I'd love to come along one of those.

[@janwarriner5037]

Good to see you out digging. Nice vid and finds.

[@Rob-ze1wi]

Birhead getting the private lessons...nice exchange!

[@juliawilliams2097]

One year at Christmas i got a real tree for in the house there must have been 2 or 3 hundred baby pray mantis because a few hours after bringing it in the warmth of the house made them hatch they were climbing the curtains it was neat to watch

[@canadianrelichunters5259]

Great video. joy to watch...ATB

[@railroaderreddoor76]

Hey I love your Channel. I work for the railroad. Please be very careful when you're near the tracks. We do have police out there they're not very nice. That insulator is for the power. The glass ones were for communication. I collect them also. That particular insulators worth about a dollar. Keep on digging and be careful around the tracks.

[@railroaderreddoor76]

Oh yeah and then that tag is for sealing the railroad box cars.

[@railroaderreddoor76]

Or ceiling the covered Hopper cars that carry grain, soda ash and other bulk commodities.

[@byronbattles8192]

She forget myself, and you find metals , great

[@RossIsBored]

I want to find some railroad insulators now!

[@ciarawitkowski7535]

love this one! i look forward to your videos!

[@orvarg1066]

pink band is a modern load seal for a tractor trailer or freight train car (considering both are moved by rail)

[@angiefav1847]

Keep on making them l love these vids we metal detect to but we live in Australia and don't have that type of history cheers

[@magdakennedy705]

Periwinkle is another name for Vinca - it's supposed to be a cure for nightmares ...

[@aliasfred]

I noticed the AT pro battery pack looks the same as my Fisher 1266-X battery packs.

[@chrisboardwine6859]

Am I the only one that sings the song at the end of every video. It’s kinda catchy. I know all the words!

[@melissalove2463]

Yah the earliest I've ever been for a Aquachigger video, hope Beau see's this " I LOVE YOUR VIDEO's"! Love from your Aussie subscriber, any other Aussie suber's out there? 💕❤️🇦🇺❤️💕

[@mikemcguire1371]

Awesome video Chig!!!!!

[@melissalove2463]

Yah birhead you need to include your boy Devon in your video's he is sooo cute!

[@matthewjones7935]

Lissa Love so are you ; )

[@melissalove2463]

Matthew Jones why Thankyou matty! 😘

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

Pigs can't digest human teeth... A mob person got busted because of that many years ago... Pig farmer got locked up too I can't remember names or dates no more. Due to brain damage. It's funny how I remember bit and pieces of old memories here and there. When you talked about the pigs eating up a human it clicked that old memory... LOL

[@coinkeepermetaldetectingmo4]

Hi MrChigger, been watching as many of your videos , some 2 or more time's. Learning as much as I can. Hoping to buy a machine off your web site. Enjoy all your videos. Thank you for posting them.

[@cherylstone9619]

i love this site your awesome!!!!!!!

[@luke.thedrifter2281]

I don't know much about an isulator but I'll say this, just about anything turns into a collectors item with time.. Maybe that's just part of me being a junk collector but still, if it looks cool then keep it. It'll make for a good conversation piece

[@jerrycline3731]

The red tag is a security tag off of a sealed container on a train that has fell off of container door

[@coinkeepermetaldetectingmo4]

Aquachigger, Sir I watched your video on the Garrett-Ace 300 and 400.I was wondering if you have had a chance to test them on any dig's yet? if you you do would you please post a video of them.

[@danhard8440]

the red thing is a container seal most likely came from a shipping container on a train

[@maryhenrich1777]

they eat humming birds too!

[@tommyvinson6]

Great hunt that looks like a good spot.

[@KahlestEnoch]

Those praying mantis eat humming birds too

[@vincenzoarato6905]

Hey chigg I'm 22 and I want to start detecting. What detector do you recommend? I'm considering the AT pro, but for a little more money should I get the AT max? I hope you see this. good luck out there

[@Doughiemantoo]

The brown insulator looks like a Porcelain Brown Locke Split Top Insulator.

[@robertwillard8011]

Should it be "burrhead"? Good finds.

[@billy_in_4c]

Traveling Birhead

[@thedukesadventures5361]

Great vid as usual 👍🏻

[@secotioid]

Love your vids as always, but please invest in an image stabilizing grip, would be a lot easier to watch, and probably easier to film too.

[@SamyyCole]

I love the fact you are wearing a German Army Parka :D

[@ryangrant2075]

You would be the coolest grandpa ever!!!😂😂

[@donnabroussard4548]

I have a friend who was a grandpa at thirty five. It happens.

[@relicrob8366]

Great hunt Beau!

[@reginaromsey]

I would love to be kind and careful to a preying Mantis egg mass. I would put it in a protected area outside hoping to host many baby, then voracious teen age mantises for my garden and fruit trees! Pity that the tunnel under the railroad isn’t big enough for deer.

[@patrickriley3630]

Love the videos keep it up and hold your breath

[@3arendel]

So many videos!
