[@allanwilkerson6426]

Aquachigger. That mug like thing you found...looks like an old style oil can. They'd fill it from a barrel with a pump...then pour it into your engine. That way they'd know how many quarts they put in your engine. If it is one...there should be markings on the side of it.

[@carmineredd1198]

why you not go dump digging ?

[@jimschafer9196]

Good pointer on the roofing nails. Awesome sandstone too. Great share thank you.

[@loriward5512]

Love this! My home state. Go Mounraineers!

[@rockhunter6260]

Love those Sandstone outcropping with the Moss and Lichens on them👍🏻

[@patricialenaburg6553]

Love it when you, and Todd detect together, nothing like good friends. What a beautiful place to be, the country side is amazing. One of these days your going to find something great, in the meantime just have fun. We have fun watching you.

[@judehoegger7014]

You make every episode a learning experience think your great!

[@pettyscout]

That was a really nice piece of ancient sea floor you found :) I remember learning about oscillation ripples in my geoscience class and he showed a photo of oscillation ripples that looked just like that

[@kickapootrackers7255]

Yep, that was sweet. Nice piece of history✌💛

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

I just can't imagine owning land that has cabins on it and not trying to preserve them. There's plenty of hardwoods to get logs from. And in the meantime I'd detect the whole area. Back in the day it was probably much more open. Great place Beau and Todd! Even if the history in artifacts wasn't there. The buildings sure told the story👍

[@parson7260]

Perfect timing! Thx for the great content Chigg.

[@QuestForDetails]

you are one of the worlds best teachers, Your lessons have built my skills ,and I use your techniques on every quest. my holes are dug with a red trencher, handle cut to that magic length, the magnet I throw safer for its juice top anti branch set up, the idea ,..that some one could hunt objects and show that the hunt can make anything a fun treasure, the journey ,not the destination. the history, the facts , the bits of info we all repeat to our own audiences, your gifts you have given will be rippling out for a long time. ......thank you !!

[@cajunshine]

Watching this is very relaxing. Thanks for sharing with us.🥰

[@alanmoffat4454]

ITS THE ODD COUPLE WHAT A GREAT WEEK FOR VIDS NICE TOO SEE TODD BACK ANY MORE MOUNTAIN STREAMS .

[@capecoddiggerzmetaldetecti5718]

LOL, on the Devo hat 🤣 Whip it good 👍 now I know your around my age 😂 to bad you didn't find a stove, could have cook up some grub with all the cooking utensils 😊 great video as always.

[@julielumsden5184]

You make it worth watching even if the only things you find are kitchen items . Your constant sense of humour make it fun

[@tomwilliams8675]

Every dig with Todd is a good day!

[@sharonbartlett4307]

I love that property! The old buildings, the rock shelters, the creek. I would really like to be able to walk around a place like that. But I guess my walking days are over. Thank you for all of your videos. I surely do enjoy them. God bless.

[@shanaadams9293]

Wide horseshoes are usually used for mules

[@TashieBarlow]

Awesome adventure

[@richardwarnock2789]

Nail caps Beau!!!

[@russbonk1372]

There's ole Chigg....with his T-shirt on. It's 25 darn degrees here at my place right now!!! NOT FAIR!!

[@canaan5337]

He didn't film this today there's snow on the ground in West Virginia at least where I live anyhow.

[@russbonk1372]

@@canaan5337 I did not suspect it could have been t-shirt weather there! I looked up weather after I posted my comment. Thanks!

[@hardyakka6200]

I was just thinking. For quite a while now Beau hasn't found any good detecting finds, but he is cleaning up the country.

[@DaniilHomyak]

Nice peaceful video to put me to sleep. Loved it, thank you!

[@frankforrest1597]

What a cool spot. Too bad you had to witness carcass removal/clean up, I can attest that it's pretty darn grotesque in sight and smell (wonderful when it's 90+ degrees 😖). Always fun with Chigg and Todd. "Dirty hands are happy hands" 👍✌

[@yorpersona]

Devo's version of Satisfaction is awesome..

[@rogerdempsey7227]

Awesome day chigger and Todd and the best of luck with your fines and the best thing you can do stay blessed and see you again on the next episode 👍

[@tomshively5419]

Chigg you're wife will love all of those handy kitchen utensils..!

[@55555711]

i use to be a rock collector no room for it now but that big rock you found i thought was kinda cool

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

What a super neat valley!

[@kickapootrackers7255]

Thanks brothers, nice vid. My kinda country. Chigg , nice huntin, checkin those ledges , could be lost Egyptian treasure. Or some other cool stuff,✌👊💥

[@LittleOneSlaysThem]

Now there's a great thread of videos I'd like to see Chigg put out! Fascinating subject...the Egyptian thing...I got lost in that rabbit hole a few years back..lol

[@alabamadixiediggers4714]

Super awesome cliffs and rock shelters..... I'm glad you were on the look out for Timber Rattlers. They are loaded with them up there...Take the muffin pan.. straighten it out... fill it full of .69cal 3 ring mini balls... Will look killer Dude. Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next

[@clifforddreaden3483]

Congratulations on hitting 1 mil!

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Cool adventure. Love that big rippled sediment piece. That would probably be of interest to local archeologists and paleontologists. Really interesting about the lead on the mail heads. That’s a pretty ingenious way to add some sealing around the nails. Considering a modern place I moved to just a few years ago had a 5 gallon bucket stuck over a roof leak to try to fix it. 🙄

[@pattylevasseur2645]

that round thing of todds with the knob on it..... finger hole to a part of a sissor the knob part was to keep them from over lapping when you close them;];];] love the old log homes!!!!! my dream;];];]

[@ericspnw8385]

Yep, mountain happenings is right. It never gets old.

[@mariahitt5890]

You solved a mystery for me! I found 3 of those nail caps last week.

[@OutdoorsygalO]

Not sure how I missed this video. I can’t get over how that area looks very much like a place I know (limestone, beech trees etc). I would bet that Civil War soldiers took shelter in some of those over hangs. Good idea checking that out. I have never seen a little candle holder like that. Super cool! 😁👍🏻

[@williamjohnson9727]

What a beautiful place!

[@gregsanderson2470]

We're switching to Rumble. Hope to see you there.

[@sharonbartlett4307]

You found a lot of cool stuff. Your wife could take that muffin tins, paint it and take some small Terra Cotta planters, plant some herbs in them, then place them in the cops of the pan. Keep it in the kitchen window and herbs for cooking while also having a nice decor.

[@Aksnowberry]

I remember the group Devo "Whip it Good" we must be close in age.

[@dropnoelfield295]

Love your work, mate!

[@bobbyk6585]

Nice Mothersbaugh/Casale reference.

[@SheepDogActual]

Love the shirt, I have one of those. Another great video.

[@dawnconner6123]

i made apple peel vinegar in one of those zinc lidded canning jars once, Chigg. i worked at fort new salem over on rt. 50 west of clksbrg.

[@andrewterry1801]

Great stuff chig

[@eringemini7091]

Aloha Chigg That ancient sandstone reef? was very cool!! I wonder if you could find fossil imprints there??!

[@paulgerczak4332]

the chigg is definitely the Babe Ruth of metal detecting.

[@pabloluismaldonadohernande7832]

Saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco a todos los amigos detectoristas y suscriptores de (Chigg´s) Aquachigger. Observo su canal con interés genuino de mi parte, aprendo y me entretienen sus aventuras y hallazgos.

[@rlsingle00]

Great video, thanks

[@Rehsmj2012]

Are we not men? We are DEVO. The Mothersbaughs are from my home town. Awesome you know who they are Chigg. Great video.

[@larrydennis5826]

Whatchu know bout Devo Chigg? 😆 This was a great video, makes my trips seem a lil normal!

[@raubism]

another video of not finding much of nothing but i keep watching

[@merlinlucas8280]

Those lead-head nails are still made today and are still used by some here in New Mexico for corrugated tin roofs.

[@jphillips4371]

Howdy from east Texas!

[@ZippeteeZapper]

a Devo fan - hahaha- love it!!

[@leannkennedy6568]

Lol "that's for thee umm samsquanch."

[@bobalmendinger4930]

I think that's the same house that was on the Compass detector flyer in 1978 :D lol !

[@nchistorydiggers8545]

The finger hole piece is to an antique wick trimmer/snuffer.

[@tazyt3388]

That was wicked brother you just have a knack for it aye luv ya work mate cheers

[@coindigger5392]

If I was a samquach I'd be staying in the rock cliffs

[@marygarner5249]

Hi TOD 😁😁😁😁

[@AppalachianHistoryDetectives]

Hey Mary wasn’t this place just so cool?

[@marygarner5249]

Yes Sir it was COOL

[@Bandidosdeaventuras]

Like mirando y saludando desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷

[@geterdonegranny1639]

LOL, it is WV of course you are gonna find rifle casings! 😂

[@tazzmanbees9832]

Did anybody else see the bird's nest above his head coats pretty cool

[@omarthetentmaker2616]

whip that detector whip it good.i wanted to see the cowdrop. maybe'n the next life. great hunt fellers as usual.

[@shootthemoon6072]

Cupcake tins are good for disassembly/ reassembly of things with small parts or things with many steps to assemble. Good for multiple paint colors too.🤷‍♂️ I try to reuse anything like that.

[@brianjohnston413]

Hands up if you can sing the Chiggs entire roundup song?! ✋

[@QuestForDetails]

🖖

[@pattimeguire7097]

✋

[@NickBell81]

lol, are you doing a Devo impression!

[@dougalexander7204]

Beautiful land. I always think back to the day a family lived there. How did they make ends meet? Get their water and what was their food? Did children live there? Was the Mrs. a good cook snd was the Mr. a good man....

[@robertevans8024]

Anywhere you are is an awesome place. 😁

[@joshuataft5541]

We're the silver galvanized buckets for sugaring 🪣

[@deanlibby5878]

The newer sealing nails have rubber instead of lead.

[@danielkonig3137]

I have only been to West Virginia one time (southern, around Beckley) and was not all that impressed. However, I was only there for about 8 hours for a funeral... But that is an absolutely beautiful property, the landscape is wonderful. I would not ask a proper location, but a rough area (50 mile radius?) if possible. Anyways, I always enjoy the videos sir. Thank you.

[@STOP.musick]

IDK where he is but there's lots of old farms and pretty countryside all around the middle of WV (Nicholas, Braxton, Clay counties). You can more or less just turn off the highway down any two lane road and find a national forest or historical park you can hike through. A lot of them, if not all, have restrictions about metal detecting so doublecheck that before digging. Maybe look up Beartown, Audra, or Babcock. I wanna also mention the Appalachians are full of cave systems, something you might be interested in if you're on this channel

[@cajunshine]

I was gonna guess. But you beat me to it.

[@JohnDoe-px4ko]

I can’t get your song out of my head! Help!

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

Tangerines #1 find. Lol

[@jessedavis4386]

Lead caps for roofing nails

[@Pwrcritter]

Looked really snakey there. Good thing they are denned up now.

[@SkullDivisioN564]

That glass was from a DB Export Beer Bottle...

[@gregsmeltzer4512]

You sound a little bit down when you said you thats all the lessons you had to teach because you don't have anymore lessons to teach anymore that's not true you got plenty of lessons to teach I love listening to all the little things you you teach and the knowledge you give because you are full of knowledge and wisdom bud get on teaching us :)

[@geoffreyjones2000]

The 44-40 was Roosevelts' favourite round

[@lucasdog1]

Copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel. All worth taking for scrap metal value. Enough to keep you in fresh batteries anyway.

[@canaan5337]

The road i walk down almost every day had a dead deer on the side of the road it would gag you walking by it in june. Sometimes I would hold my breath and jog past it but by late Nov it was just hair and bone and has no smell from the road.

[@yuriimd]

Nice

[@ddniUK]

Broadcast dates for River hunters? Ta.

[@WayneTheSeine]

I would have snagged that pan too. Nice and heavy. Not like the trash they sell now days.

[@randlerichardson5826]

Well Chigg brass is bout $3 a pound last time I checked

[@ONAPAL3HORS3986]

I've given up on a few sites due to lead roofing nails

[@marygarner5249]

Whip it Whip it good CHIGG 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@noob26]

Is it just me, or have your last few videos been filmed on a much better camera?

[@DavidMiller-jc4pl]

What county are you in?

[@michaelhargis7036]

We want more Billy.

[@killjoy987987]

Lead flashing that go on nails

[@duckscustomgarage9239]

lead nail heads for roofing tin

[@rogerlaubhan7700]

Sorry Pan Head but Nora Svet has you outclassed in just about every way.

[@randlerichardson5826]

Hey Chigg and Todd if he’s there to

[@wrxs1781]

Todd is a good choice for a partener.

[@shanewilson1050]

Old lead heads off roofing nails.

[@bryonbartholomew3038]

I live an hour from West Virginia and I know damn well it’s coat weather...... wear a coat!

[@billynewton8241]
