[@detectingpa8968]

The jewels are pieces to a crystal shandalier. My mother and grandmother have one that are made from real crystal. They to have the brass hooks in each side.

[@aserta]

The blobs is the remains of an old steamer trunk (tho normal trunks also had them). The casters are specific to them (in that vintage) and they're named "Philadelphia pattern casters". That brass curved piece is the latch that allowed you to keep the steamer locked (i wish i could find the right one, because between it and the casters, it's what itched my brain for 5 hours now). The final element that seals the deal for me tho, the multitude and variety of nails. Small, large and everything in between. And boy.. do steamer trunks have lots of nails in them. Source: i had one of these trunks professionally restored after water got to it. The nails had swollen into the wood and its entire side was messed up beyond repair. It had to be taken apart to bare materials to be remade. The restorer had to replace almost 200 nails of all varieties.

[@BuffaloBillsSon]

I do t know but I skipped to the end and you was sitting with two wheels and a pile of bashed up dirt! lol get video again! 😂

[@deplorable1-2]

The "diamonds and wire things look like they are from a chandelier.

[@intoeverything2023]

That's exactly what I was thinking, but the castor's are throwing me off...maybe a fancy lamp on wheels? IDK.

[@deplorable1-2]

@@intoeverything2023 Iwas thinking of a can full of handy junk drawer stuff that got tossed in the river

[@Laura-Kitty]

That's exactly what they are. Chandelier drops.

[@douglaskerr6813]

Castors probably from a little table

[@BrodyPetree_Thegamer_123]

Yes

[@RonAdams-h4s]

The piece of brass-what-ever it-is is a picture hanger. The wood molding ran around the top of the walls, the hanger clips onto it. The picture is suspended from it by a long wire or cord. No nail holes in the walls! I live in a 100+ year old house with these rails. Works slick. Love your videos ❤

[@j.f.christ8421]

All houses should have picture rails, very handy. The cool kids can run LED strips along them. I'm not sure that's a picture hook though, never seen one with the little "T" bit hanging off it, they're always a simple elongated "S" shape. Comment below said it might be part of a steamer trump clasp, dunno about that.

[@arctiknitter]

What an exciting find! Looks like "jewels" from a light fixture.

[@j.f.christ8421]

Yup, chandelier drops.

[@rogercrawley6966]

Enjoyed this decommissioning of the conglomerate treasure blob! Thanks for sharing!

[@SandyWolf-]

You find the most exciting coolest things! Cheers!

[@darbysdownhomedetecting]

Very interesting 🤔 thanks for sharing chig 🤠

[@FOUNDITBURIED]

I WONDER WHAT THAT WAS, JEWELS LOOK LIKE SOMETHING FROM AN OLD LAMP, OR CEILING LIGHT. OR THE WHOLE JUNK DRAWER, LOL VERY COOL VIDEO CHIGG. I'VE BEEN SO BUSY, I HAVE A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. CAN'T WAIT TO SIT BACK WITH SOME SNACKS AND WATCH ALLL THE VIDEOS I'VE MISSED GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY OR TWO..THANKS CHIGG FOR BEING YOU

[@mercedithcompala8148]

This was great watching you and the mysterious blob 😮 thanks Chigg 😅

[@GaryParris-sd8gg]

Good video brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kathybrandt6060]

That was fun, thank you for letting us watch you do that.

[@donbowersock9564]

Your videos are always fun, keep em coming.

[@dirtclodmetaldetecting]

Fun to watch!

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

Your "Jewels" remind me of those faux crystal chandeliers :)))

[@aserta]

I GOT IT! I know what this is. It was itching my brain ... why would these items be in a pile. Then it hit me. What item has casters and lots of various sized nails in one. An antique trunk. The type with the opening middle and drawers. Those have TONS of various sizes of nails in them from tacks to full sized house sized nails. And then i went online to check the casters... and sure enough, they're all over. They're named philadelphia pattern caster. That curved brass piece is also in some of these steamer trunks as well, as the latch to pull them apart.

[@polkcellar]

I remember you finding a great treasure of coins in the river. You just never know right? Love your historical finds and hunts. Those caves scare me though bigtime!😮

[@user-Icicleandfireball]

Stay cool, chigg, stay hydrated

[@oleradiodudea.m.4735]

Nice job with the blob!

[@madamecampsalot6384]

The brass thing looks like a drawer pull to go with those little casters...maybe.😊

[@sandiscuriousthings]

4:11 are definitely from an old chandelier. I have several and the 'gems' are all exactly like that. So cool ❤

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@AnotherMN_Fan]

Nice to finally know. Suspect Lindsay helped you out! Thanks for sharing, Beau.

[@rawfoodwriter]

MOARRRRR!!!!

[@lindakeller6086]

Light fixture, I clean those jewels alot

[@richardfarmer579]

This is the contents of a 100-year-old junk drawer! I lived in an old house where we had a drawer with the same items. Old casters from Victorian furniture, glass crystals from various lighting fixtures from chandeliers to wall sconces. Most people would pull out all the casters from furniture when one of them broke. Always had miscellaneous old nails and tacks falling out of old picture frames and furniture. The flat metal brass curved pieces are picture hangers for Victorian homes with picture rails mounted in a room. It's a wooden molding with a rounded top that stood proud off the wall, the brass hanger would fit the curved top of the molding and hang on it. you would have then a wire hanging from the hook of the brass hanger holding the picture or mirror at any height you wanted. I've been following you for years, and I always enjoy you being you!

[@KenzertYT]

Been dying to see what’s in this blob!

[@dfdigger3820]

Nice blob, i like the pic hanger !!

[@rondathiesen9317]

Very interesting. To bad those werent diamonds! T4S❤

[@garytracey1690]

5:10 it's the brass end to a porcelain caster wheel from a couch I've seen 100s as my dad's a master upholster here in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@pamelaromer7727]

Did your spouse say, “Another X-ray?” Love your stuff.

[@dougalexander7204]

Man of his word, said he’d have the good vet x-ray it and show us cracking open the blob.

[@brendageorge9024]

Those are Crystal's that hang on a Chandelier 😊

i would really like to metal detect with you, i am bit of the armature,, live in nothern maryland.watch you all the time. i dont miss much of your Videos.

[@DartmoorAR]

Chigg just enjoying his rusty ball of mooood.

[@12thsonofisrael]

Just a suggestion, try soaking in vinegar overnight next time, the metals should be easier to free from the iron oxide clump.

[@BoshiYoshi]

More exciting than those treasure dig blocks you buy at Walmart.

[@haroldishoy2113]

My compliments to your wife since she must be an x-ray tech of some kind. Different films have differing speeds and sensitivities and could show more of what is inside objects like that. With the blob broken apart, it links like a conglomerate of items that may have fused together in a fire.. Many thanks for sharing with us.

[@Mandy7D7]

Lindsay is a Veterinarian and her office has an X-ray machine.

[@artsimpson3670]

Aloha Chigg, Thanks for the companionship!

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Fun and different. Thank you. Thanks to your lovely wife for the X-ray. Tappy tap tap with Maxwell's silver hammer!

[@StarScapesOG]

That part at 7:17 looks like the broken remains of a castor just like the other 3 but in worse shape. You can see the broken edges where the arms came up to hold the wheel

[@user-gx2me2pr7k]

That was interesting!

[@aquachigger]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@oldbamadirt2148]

😁Now We Know 😎👍✌

[@TomFromMN]

Tap, tap,, tap, with that hammer. Chandelier jewels. Probably glass, but could be plastic. Nice job by Lindsay to get it x-rayed.

[@afshina6957]

Nice one thnx

[@FOUNDITBURIED]

WHERES THE SILVER DOLLARS, NEXT TIME CHIGG! NEXT TIME!!

[@chrysanthepaxinos2839]

Yeah. Crystals are from a chandelier. I guess you haven't had to clean too many of those LOL. Nice looking at river treasure. I hang the odd, old crystal on my Xmas tree.

[@Vault57]

5:10 was an old brass wheeled furniture caster... minus the brass wheel. 5:53 I have seen casters like those on the antique oak bases of the board room chairs at a university. It's pretty normal for the 1920s ‐ 30s.

[@PaulGadoury]

Those casters would be destroyed if anything larger than a newborn baby was put on it.

[@tt600pch]

I wonder if a junk jar full of nails and old casters started "the blob"

[@SeshbyStephSymbolicJewelery]

That is an awesome find!! Wow so cool looking. You found the loot! Chigg 💎 🏴‍☠️ 🦜 💰

[@FoulOwl2112]

The remains of Great Grandma's bejeweled, fabric covered, rolling Knitting and Sewing Box. Or a child's Doll Chest.

[@aloberdorf4579]

Before I watch any more.....that Sewing Machine Oil Can Jumps out at Me......Whoa !!!

[@aloberdorf4579]

What happened to that oi can.....I need to go to school for radiology.....LOL !!

[@timmurphy5137]

The brass piece is a picture hanger that hangs from the trim

[@PaulGadoury]

Bang, Bang, Maxwell silver hammer

[@douglasangeloni9835]

Diamond looking things are definitely from a chandelier as the last comment suggested.

[@KenzertYT]

Chigg, the x-ray picture would make a VERY cool thumbnail or element in the thumbnail.

[@aquachigger]

You may be right. Perhaps I'll change it. Thanks

[@KenzertYT]

@@aquachigger stay cool during the heat wave!

[@dartmart9263]

Isn’t there a less violent way to shed all the rust away from the blob? Some solutions or electrolysis perhaps?

[@johnjamieson6368]

The jewels are most likely from a light fixture. I have a lamp that was my grandmothers, one of two. My brother has the other one. It is a tall, mostly crystal electric lamp. About midway up it has a glass dish shape with pendants hanging from it. They are a combination of a small crystal followed by a longer one. The small crystal has two wires, one for connecting to the dish and one for connecting to the longer pendant.

[@glennwebster1675]

👍

[@sab_dil]

looks like part of glass part from an old chandelier parts.

[@joeylandry4933]

The real treasure is in the journey 🙂👍

[@advenzures]

👊🤩👍

[@russriley3005]

those castors are probably from an old dresser. I have similar casters on some of my older furniture

[@tugboss0273]

I assume all of that was probably from a cardboard junk box in someone's garage. They tossed it in the river and then it all rusted together, and the box disintegrated

[@dennismorris3254]

I remember that hunt

[@PaulGadoury]

Wow, all 5 days ago!!!

[@mikepetrucha2774]

Your House Wren sure was chattering away.

[@dailydoseofnews4828]

Great stuff ! Been wondering

[@johntyson]

Looks like the contents of a sewing/craft kit

[@randlerichardson5826]

Hey Chigg

[@AndrexT]

The 'jewels' are from a chandelier. The metal thing is a picture hook. The castors are from a small upholstered parlor chair. Interesting to x-ray is first.

[@mudweimer768]

Was it in a bag that deteriorated and gave it its shape ?

[@lisauptagrafft2010]

If the things you’re calling jewels are glass, I’d think they were on a chandelier…. maybe. ✌🏼❤️

[@dennismorris3254]

Next time chigg

[@daddybiggs9343]

It looks like me trying to clean off a slack adjuster, so I can adjust the brakes. 😂

[@WayneTheSeine]

Let's hope it is a diamond.....Uoo Uoooo....Let's call it The Hope Diamond.

[@kwellerfolds]

those are from a "crystal" chandelier or lighting fixture

[@henrys3629]

Casters from a small bed or crib?

[@marvinellis1517]

Looks like a Honda three wheeler....😂

[@adeptusmagi]

its the remains of a chandelier chair castors and the piece of brass is a picture hook for hanging on a dado rail what river was it ? any paddle steamers used to ply it all that stuff and the nails is all that would be left from a rotted out wreck

[@snowballil3133]

😀 blobby

[@MrFriiy]

IKEA cabinet installation hardware bag, corroded on the river bottom… hahah

[@mumurioste790]

Those caster might have came off of an old singer sewing machine I have one at home and it looks just like it

[@pilkpulk8284]

Looks like you found a fancy oil lamp....

[@choccolocco]

Probably an old “junk bucket” full of nails and the occasional hardware. Found some neat little glass insulators in a bigger chunk once. Maybe more of a coffee can.

[@allanpelton684]

That curved piece of metal looks like it is half of a storm window snap used to hold on storm windows or screens.

[@DigginNETX]

Kept waiting on him to smash a knuckle 😂

[@adrianpurvis9092]

Thats so cool, you have probably been asked this a million times, but have you ever found fragments or a whole torpedo that General Gabriel J. Rains invented??

The first brass thing looks like part of a caster with the wheel missing. Funny, less than a minute after I posted this, you found the second and said it was a caster.

[@stoplight2554]

2:25 is that an entire screwdriver?

[@pietrociambelli715]

Looks like the little things that hang off chandeliers

[@zipshed]

I was kind of hoping we would see more like old 20 dollar gold pieces!

[@franklubbock8400]

I wonder if its the contents of a old coffee can that someone kept their odds and ends in. and somehow ended up in the water.

[@sethpark777]

I'd venture to guess that this was a "junk jar" that sat in the shed collecting spare odds and ends, and nails pulled out of boards for when you might need them again! It shed its glassy coffin in the river.

[@antystein]

It looks like it was a magnet that collected all those pieces and by the time they were all fused together the magnet disintegrated.

[@garynichols8186]

Maybe the jewels were from an old chandelier?

[@ibyt33]

the jewels you fond came from a old lamp, i know because my mom had one.

[@RAMelloh-ij5sl]

Used to be a tin can full of VJ (valuable junk).

[@13Jared]

On first look it reminded me of something that I forgot the name for but it's related to witchcraft or voodoo? I believe those are contained in like a cauldron or something?

[@zzydny]

The jewels look to be crystals, likely from a chandelier.

[@chuckjenkins4348]

I think the blob was a jar filled with casters and small nails and brads and other little items when the lid rusted away the jar filled with water rusting all the items together and eventually the glass broke and the rust clod fell out and sat till Chigg found it many many years later and those are small furniture casters I have the same ones on my antique hutches. Sorry Chigg no silver dollars but that could very well happen!!!
